hand. In silence they finished their
dance, but as they paused near a win

a whispered MY darlingr
Kate blushed, but she lifted her eyes
to his with all her heart in them. There
was a fash of light in his dark eyes.
and his heart eXultingly said "Won!
He drew long breath, he was too
happy to speak. The silence was brok-
en- by Hates partner. who came TO
claim her for the next dance. Roy
watched her as she moved away, his
love lighting his face, unconscious that
angry eyes were watching him.
Just outside the window sat girl
with scowling brow and clenched
hands. She had heard that passionate
whisper. and the knowledge that the
man she adored had given his love to
another reused in her the widest fury.
Marry her; should like to see you"
she muttered "If am not to be your
wife, she shall not. All, my dear sir, |
will wiring your heart this night-ay,
now! Mr.. Palmer" she called
At the sound Of his name Roy turned
and saw the girl who had drawn aside
the curtain.
why, Miss Merrill, how can you re-
sist that music?" he asked.
She stepped through the low win
dow into the room.
Il am so tired" she returned And
it is so deliciously cool here that
stayed to rest myself."
She was mistress of all the arts and
wiles of a finished woman Of the world,
and she used her skill to keep him by
her side. Bright and witty, her COM
ments upon things and people amused
Roy in spite of himself.
"Ah, there goes Kate Nevillew she
exclaimed, as Kate appeared. How
beautiful she looks tonight! BY the
way, what LAS become of Mr.. Stanley,
who was so attentive to her the winter
before last?"
Roy bit his lip, but, forcing down his
annoyance, he said:
Il know Stanley very well but I new
er heard that"
Did you spend the winter in Men
tone two years ago?"
Il was abroad all of that winter, an
swered Roy"
Il spent two months here. l met
Miss Kate Neville everywhere, and Mr..
Stanley was her shadow, much to my
surprise, for l had credited him with
more sense"
What do you mean?"
"Why, l was puzzled to know what
attraction such a girl could have Sor a
man SO refined as Mr.. Stanley"
Large drops of perspiration stood
thickly on Roy's forehead, and his
hands were elenched as Cora went on:
mo one knew what the trouble was.
He left the city suddenly and Miss Ne
vile was followed everywhere by an
other sutton. l think Stanley's with
drawal was a lesson TO her, for she has
been more circumspect this winter. All,
here comes my partrer and suppose
you are delighted, for l fear l have
bored you nearly to extinction"
With gay little laugh Cora Merrill
ran off. fully conscious Of the anguish
she left behind her.
Poor Roy fell straight into the trap.

CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?
He never for moment believed the girl
would maliciously deceive him and yet
It seemed impossible that Kate, whom
he had believed to be almost perfect,
was deceitful, bold and coarse. AS he
entered the room he came face to face
with Mrs. Latimer, an old friend.
"Oh, Roy, you are just the one
want! You must go with us on our
yachting trip. / won't take a refusal
] am disappointed that Mr. Stanley can
not Join us, as he hoped to-"
Here was an opening for him to es-
cape meeting Kate.
Instantly he accepted the invitation,
then said, somewhat abruptly:
"Mr. Stanley was at one time, / be-
lieve, a great admirer of Miss Neville"
Mrs. Latimer appeared very much
embarrassed.
THAT was an unfortunate affair,
which hoped was forgotten" she an
swered, and then passed on to another
topic.
Neither Kate nor Cora saw Roy again
Chat evening. He went home and spent
the most miserable night of his life.
AS the minutes passed and Roy did
not appear to claim the remaining
dances she had promised him, Hates
heart grew heavier. With a supreme
effort she concealed her unhappiness;
with witty repartee and merry laugh
ter she hid an aching heart But in the
privacy Of her own room she gave way
TO her grief.
"Oh, why did let him look into my
eyes and read my secret?" she cried, in
an agony OF shame. And the poor girl
burst into passion of tears.
A few days later she heard that Roy
had gone away for some time.

S. D. TAYLOR, Editor and Proprietor
THE PEOPLES CAUSE.

THE main issue that the HERALD
has raised in this campaign is that
of standing by our silver cham
pions. We intend to stick strictly
to our text. We will advocate the
election of no man who will not
place the candidacy of Senator Du-
bois above that Of his own. The
nominees upon the county republi-
can ticket got their nominations
largely upon the popularity of Sen
ator Dubois whom they championed
before the convention, and they, to
command respect and confidence,
must stand by the peoples leader
now. If the republican candidates
for county offices do not know that
the republican voters value the
success of Idaho's great silver cham
pion as compared with the success
of said candidates in the ratio
of Is to 1, it is time they were find
ing it out. There is growing sus-
picion in the mind of the average
voter, occasioned by the timidity
with which some of our candidates
offer to risk any personal sacrifice
in behalf of Dubois, that our ticket
is made up largely of men who be-
lieve that Is to l means putting in
16 ticks for themselves and for
silver. The HERALD will stay by
the paramount issue. Let no can
didate misunderstood us. We will
stand loyalty by the republican
county ticket, Crane excepted, pro
vided it stands Loyalty by Senator
Dubois. But if it does not, then
we shall feel at liberty to support the
best man for his personal qualities
of whatever party, with the advan-
tages in favor of the other fellow
because we prefer an open enemy
to traitor inside the party. We
want our position clearly under
stood, so that no pie eating cormo
rant can charge US with impropel
motives later ON.

More OF Cranes Perfidy.


l.. H. Faust, secretary Of the re-
publican convention which nomin-
ated Crane for state senator, has
added some interesting information
to the topic which concerns the per-
fidy of the said Crane. 1t will be
remembered that Crane in his letter
attempting to justify his course,
said: "Bear in mind that there
were no instructions as to the line
of conduct to be persued." Mr.
Faust shows how Crane schemed to
prevent such instructions. When
the matter was under consider in
caucus and the majority of the del
egates wanted iron-clad instruc-
tons in favor of Dubois, Crane arose
to object, and Mr.. Faust gives his
words as follows. AS near as he can
remember, Crane said:
"Now. see here. We are about to
make the same mistake which the
b5vs have made in Latah county.
Down there they elected Dubois
delegates and gave them instruc-
tons to stand by the senator through
thick and thin and all that, and the
result has been that the 2S votes
of Latah county have been contest
ed on the grounds that they were
not republicans, having been in
structed to support Dubois, who
bolted the national ticket. Now,
the Latah county delegates will not
be allowed to vote on the temper
airy organization of the state con-
/ vention; and should enough of the
other counties make the same mis-
take. am afraid that Mcconnell
and his gang will get control of the
temporary organization and shut us
all out. In view of this fact, have
received instructions from Dubois
and Sweet to have the delegates
from this county go to Boise unin-
structed. so as to avoid contest
that we may be in a position to hell
( out the contested delegates from
Latah and possibly other counties
who are in favor of the senator"

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rum bling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when il is
entirely closed deafness is the result. and
unless the inflammation can be taken ont
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion' hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

window of an eminent and venerable
professor of science mot Prof. Newton)
and imbedded itself in the wall. This
was the opportunity for the professor
and for science. He, too, set to work
and computed the curve and with the
exact skill of infallible figures he traced
the ball right back to the room of an in

time. Barnum impressed him, as he
did everybody, as being a big-hearted,
amiable and brainy man. The bishop
on leaving took his hand and said:

man, after all. I hope to meet you in

"Well' you will, if you are there" re-
piled Mr.. Barnum.
