the strongest woman prefers to look up
rather than down, if her husband be
noble and brave and generally worth
looking up to?"
Ringbrand WINGED, for had he not
signed his name to certain narrative
in which the motive turned upon the
theory that deep in the heart Of every
woman there dwells an unspoken desire
to be dominated? He smiled at his I'M
conscious mendacity and wondered why
1t is that man who chances to be in
love cannot apply the wisdom of other
days to the solution of his own riddles.
Perhaps you are right, after al" he
said, musingly. "Now that you recall
1t, 1t seems quite possible that may at
one time have held and expressed such
view myself. Your proviso, however,
helps my side of the question"
I'm what way?"
"By asking for. a rare combination of
virtues in the man."

"You said he should be noble and
brave and generally worth looking up
to-"
"Are those qualities rare?"
"Rare enough, fear. I think there
are not many of us who could fill the re-
quirements. But to return to Miss
Bradfern: You think she will be on the
governing hand, do you?"
Perhaps not quite that, but I'm very
sure she has some-shall we call them
convictions?-that will make Mr.. Ra-
leigh very uncomfortable. One of them
is the idea that It is part of her mis-
sion to bring about the social recog-
milton Of the negroes" She said mig
gers" but the provlncialism bore no
contemptuous accent.
The remark caught Ringbrand off his
guard and he said: "There is room for
reform along that line, isn't there?"
"That depends very much upon the
point of view" Hester drew herself up
and shade of austerity came into her
manner. "I'm not quite sure how You
regard 1t in the north, though papa says
you make no distinction-or, at least,
not very much. With us the question
has been definitely settled for long

THREE ENGLISH GHOSTS.
The "Lady In Cream" and Man with a
Beard.

Inc "bAuJ IN cream" and n Man with q
Beard.
There is hardly n castle or ancient
manor house in all England that has
not some ghostly tradition connected
with it. In some mansions the specters
are said to stalk and gibber and Shrek
night after night, while in others they
appear only at long intervals. The
latter seems to be the case at Clandon
house, near Guildford, which belongs
to the earl of Onslow, but which is at
present let by him to a tenant. Here
the ghosts, for there are three of them,
have but recently made their appear
ance, and though they seem quite IA
miliar with the centuries-old structure
which they inhabit, no one of this gen.
Grafton has been able to recall any
thing about them.
The first is that of beautiful lady,
richly attired in cream-colored silk
robe and wearing a profuson of great
jewels. Sometimes she covers the
cream-colored silk with black cloak,
and occasionally she carries dagger
or tumbler in her hand. All the do
mestics say they have been here many
times, and the under footman stoutly
maintains that he once saw 1.-The lady
in cream" take book from the library
shelves, and after glancing through
its pages, carefully replace it.
The second specter is more tcrrify-
ing, for it appears in the form of very
ugly female black dwarf, with q gilt
teriDg ring in her nose, and whose dress
indicates condition of seryitude. She
always bears in her hand q lightct,
lantern.
A rough-looking man makes up this
phantom trio, and he has great beard
that is evidently the pride and joy of
his ghostly existence. He is not so
often seen as the lady in cream and her
hideous companion, and has the bear
ing of one oppressed by great SORROW
A lady Spiritualist has had the hardi-
hood to visit the house and converse
with the cream-colored apparition,
who, it is reported, related to her as
sad story as ghost ever told. In her
time she had sinned, she said, and her
husband found her out lie according
ly bribed the black dwarf, his wife's
attendant, to kill her mistress, which
she did, and she has ever since been
going about with lighted lantern
looking for forgiveness.
The appearance of these ghosts has
caused great excitement in the quiet
country neighborhood, and many peo-
pie besides the domestics claim to have
seen all three.-N. Y. World.

TIE HISTORY or A FEUD.

Places, like persons, have characters
to keep or to lose. From the time be-
yond which freside tradition fades into
the less authentic record of legendary
tales, McNabb's cove had shared with
its scanty population the evil report of
q bad neighborhood. geographically,
it is n mere cash in the side of Murphy
mountain, with few acres of arabic
land in the center shut in on three sides
by steep wooded hills, whose SUBMITS
are the cliffs of the mountain. Prac-
tically inaccessible on three sides, en-
trance by the fourth is scarcely less
difficult. A narrow wagon road winds
up the sharp ascent which measures
the height of the cove above the level of
Harmony valley; and besides this there
are no means of ingress or egress for
vehicles, and none for pedestrians save
such as are afforded by two or three
rocky trails up the sides of the noun
tain.
The isolation OF McNabb's cove had
much to do with its unsavory reputa-
tion. For many years the Bynums,
whose log farmhouse of "two pens and
passage" was the only human habitn-
tion In the small valley, had acted as
.go-between for the Illicit distillers on
the mountain and their customers in
Harmony valley. In consequence OF
this, the cove had been the scene of sew
cral encounters between the revenue
officers and the moonshiners; and al.
though the Bynums had usually main
tanned an outward show of neutrality,
there was little doubt that they had al
ways given the secret aid to their
ncighbors on the mountain. It was
during the life of Col Latimer's father
that the Bynums had first brought
themselves within the pale of the law.
A revenue officer had climbed the steep
road leading to the cove one afternoon,
and the next morning his dead body
was found at the foot of the declivity
with bullet hole in the skull. Old
Squire Latimer was justice of the
peace at the time, and he was especial
ly active in pushing the inquiry which
finally fixed the crime upon one of the
Dynums. AS the evidence was mostly
circumstantial, the murderers got oil
with q life sentence; but for the
squire's part in the prosecution the
Bynums declared war upon the Lati-
mer family, instituting series of per-
secutions which eliminated in the
burning of the manor-house in the val
ley. The ex-Virginian was law-abid-
ing man, and, although there was lit
tie doubt as to the identity of his enc
mics, he refused to retalinte in kind.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-06-10

With each fresh depreciation he re-
doubled his efforts to obtain proof
which could be produced in court; but
his prosecutors were shrewd and crafty,
and he was never abe to get conclusive
evidence against them. After the
burning of the manor-house the squire
built ''The Laurels" on the plateau OF
Murphy mountain; but he did not live
long to enjoy his new home. The
plateau farm was reached by a road
which climbs the face of the ascent
from Tregarthen. Beyond the Lati-
mer estate it skirts the brow of the
mountain, following the line of the
cliffs and doubling around the head of
McNabb's cove. One morning when
the squire was riding along this road Mt
a point where it comes out upon the
edge of an abrupt precipice command
ing a view of the cove, n
rifle-shot rang out, and the fright
ened horses galloped rideress back to
"The Laurels." When the searchers
found him a short time afterwards the
squire was quite dead; and before noon
John Bynum was in Jail at Tregarthen,
charged with the commission of the
crime. At this distance of time there
appears to be at least a reasonable
doubt of his guilt. He was seen in the
village, and in fact was arrested there,
within two hours of the time when the
murder was committed; and while the
distance from the head of the cove to
Tregarthcn by the road leading past
"The Laurels" is only three miles, it is
six by the way he must have gone to
avoid meeting the searching party.
This, and other facts, might have been
brought out in a trial, but the Bynums
were unpopular and their feud with the
Latimers was well known. The news
of the squire's death spread rapidly
through the valley during the day, and
at night an armed mob broke into the
Jail and secured the hapless prisoner,
who was hurried to the scene of the
murder and hanged to the nearest con-
venient tree.

A CASTLE IN SPAIN.

Once built me castle in Spain,
wonderful castle fair and high,
Afar from the haunts Of care and pain,
For hung its rafters In the sky,
"And here" I said, Il will take my ease;
am tired of those who cry to me;
Amid all these measureless silences,
How calm and quiet my rest shall be-
I sat me down with none to molest;
The great world sinned and sorrowed be-
low;
Far out of the reach Of its wild unrest
How the peaceful days might come and
go.
But 10, In my heart dark clouds arose,
The skies were full Of the summer sun,
Still at morning longed for day to close,
And at evening wished the night were
done.
"And OH" said, 'for heart to cheer,
stranger to break my bread with me!''
And the. silence answered, heavy and
drear;
NAY, take thine ease none calleth for
thee"
My beautiful castle Is fair and high,
1t floats and swings in limitless space;
But down where the weary and sorrowful
cry
For comfort and help, is fairer place.
And the day has wings; its hours too few,
For the blessed labor, the welcome pain.
Who cares to dwell in the ether blue
May have at his will my castle In Spain.

he could not ask questions. What she
had said, however, made him thought
full, and he resolved to ask Ludlow If he
knew the story.
When they reached the house Hester
asked Ringbrand to stay to tea, and
after the meal they sat together on the
veranda while the colonel and his son
rode to Tregarthen. Since they were
we'll beyond the period of acquaintance
ship in which young lovers take each
other seriously and talk upon abstruse
subjects, the conversation drifted aim
lessly and easily from one topic to an
other until it finally came back to the
rector and his approaching marriage.
Hester spoke of it again in terms of dis
approval. ut seems to me like case of
infatuation on his part" she said,
though 1 suppose I'm prejudiced. I
can't see how they are, ever going to be
able to make peace between the Sec
tions."
us Miss Bradfern so very pronounced
in her views?" asked Ringbrand.
II think she is; and fear she is much
the stronger of the two"
"Is that always a misfortune"
Possibly not; but it seems so to me.
1t implies surrender on the part of the
husband, and that's a pitiable thing to
contemplate"
"Do you think so? should say that
such q surrender might be very noble
under some circumstances"
81 can't imagine the circumstances.
What are they?"
His frank question drew him rather
deeper into the subject than he had
meant to go, but he laid hold of his
courage and spoke the thought that
was in him. 81 mean when n man has
been fortunate enough to 1lnd the one
woman in the world with whom he can
share all things" He said it quietly,
trying to keep the vibrant note of pas
sion out Of his voice.
She did not reply at once, and when
she did there was no sign that she had
taken his answer in any sense Other
than as an abstract statement of fact.
"Even then I think you are wrong" she
said. 1T doesn't seem possible to me
that any woman could accept such n
sacrifice and retain her respect for the
man who made it; does it to you?"
81 had never thought Of it as being q
sacrifice. 1t is more like part of the
homage which loyal subject would
give freely to the one whom he had en-
throned."
She looked at him in doubt. "I can
never tell when you are in earnest and
when you arc trying to be satirical."
"Oh, beg you to believe 1 wouldn't
jest upon such a serious subject" he
hastened to say.

ton at all. You-you write about won-

want YOU to ask of your opponents IS
whether he is for a golo Cdndard. II
he saws he is for sound money, tell him
so11nd money don't go at this stage OF
the campaign. Sound money may mean
much or nothing. What you want TO
know is whether he is in favor Of a gold
standard or not If he says he is in
favor of an honest dollar, you tell him
to let you know what kind of a dollar
and you will tell him whether 1t is an
honest dollar. II he says he IS for
gold standard, then tell him he is man
without a party, because no party IN the
United States has ever declared for a
gold standard. Great applause) If he
says he is opposed to a gold standard
and is in favor Of bimetallism. ask him
how much he is in favor of bimetallism;
ask him whether he is in favor of it when
the nations will det us have it, or when
the American people demand it, If he
says he wants to wait, ask him how long
he wants to wait. If he says he wants
other nations to help us. ask him what
other nations he wants to help US and
what chances he thinks there are Of their
doing it.
THE HUNGRY CITIZEN.
''My friends, it is all very easy for
person to say bimetallism is a good
thing and we are going to have it just
as soon as we can and what the people
are worrying about is how soon We are
going to have it. If a man has not had
anything to eat for several days he is
far more interested in knowing just
how soon the food is coming than to
be assured he is going to get it. Now
If our condition is good now, then we
should not want to change ii. If our
condition is good now, then the Re
publican party made a great mistake
when it pledged to get bimetallisn in
stead of the gold standard. If it is
bad, we are interested in knowing how
long 1t is going to stay this way and
how much worse It is going to get.
These are only a few questions and.
think, enough to stop any argument
which you may have with our oppon-
ent and if he is not satisfied with that
you ask him to outline financial sys-
tenn. Do not let him be satisfied with
simply opposing something. If we
need relief he ought to be able to pro-
pose a relief.

allowing the treasury to be raided by
a few men who will then turn around
and sell the bold back at a big private
gain and profit in order that they may
have an opportunity to drain it again
and sell it back again, that we are in
favor of increasing the right Of paying
its obligations in either gold or silver
and Thus escape from the clutches OF
those who have been dominating us.
We are opposed to allowing any pri-
waite individual to demOnetiZe by pri-

lport Watterson and Bragg.
Omaha, Neb., Aug 26.-The sixteen
delegates which Nebraska will send to
the sound money Democratic conven-
ton at Indianapolis, leave Sunday night.
They will not be instructed for any
particular candidate. There has been
a good deal of sentiment among the
Nebraska Democrats in favor Of push
ing j. Sterling Morton for the nominal
ton. This morning a prominent ad-
ministration Democrat received a per-
sonal letter from Secretary Morton, in
which the latter positively refused to
allow his name TO go before the conven-
ton, and requested his correspondent to
see that it was not proposed by his
Nebraska friends. 1t is not given out
that Morton has volunteered the Ne
braska Democrats and advice as 10
their course in the convention, but it is
unoficially Stated that he is inclined
to favor the nomination of John c. Car
Isle. Although Carlisle has sumo sup
porterS in the Nebraska delegation,
there is strong sen timent among the
local Democrats in favor of Henry Wat
terson and General Bragg. In fact,
there was an informal conference of a
number OF the leaders yesterday, at
which Is appeared to be the general i'm
preston that Watterson and Bragg
would be the best available men with
which to defeat Bryan Members of
