again she felt the little pinching at the
heart. There was now a frightful void
IN Ilomane's brilliant life, but she tried
TO reason With herself. After all, was it
not quite natural? Natalia could be
charming when h chose, and possessed
qualities of mind and heart calculated

arl1ability, her lively Imagination,

name. And if this marriage would make
Gulllaume happy, ought she not to re-
1olce at it? Was he not her brother?
Inc summer putting an end to all
galety in Paris, Prof. Desgoffes, who
py no means intended to leave his star
IN obscurity even for hat short period,
conceived the idea of taking advantage
or the London season to give a series
OF concerts there. He therefore in

take her to the English metropolis, ac-

promised, always played the accompani-

Before their departure for the land
OF fogs, an event, not unforeseen, in
deed, took place to the great satisfac-
ton of all. Sancede, whose salary had
just been increased, and who was now
IN a position to give the lady of his
love a luxurious home. asked the-to

accepted.

which is far BETTER her friend an

purpose. He started, a week after the
conclusion Of the engagement, with the
two young artistes, attended by Nata-
las old governess. They chose a Sum
day evening, that the whole family
might be able to accompany them to
the railway station.
Guillaume was ever more melancholy
than usual, his gloomy face contrast
ing sharply with the happy faces of the
frances.
D rot look so sad" whispered Nata-
liza as the train vas about to start, and
Guillaume was obliged to say good-by,
"Ill write every day"
In spite of her efforts to be reason
able and calm, Tiomane felt tina a
change had taken place in her friend
ship for her professors daughter. She
struggled against it, but she was jeal-
Gus, really jealous-she could no longer
conceal it from herself-and constant
watchfulness was necessary to prevent
her irritation from being poured out on
it's unconscious object. Natalia, who on
stepping IN English soil had recovered
her French gaiety, which had been quite
lost in the chopping seas of the chan
mel, said to Tiomane, in her most teas
ing tone, "Who in Paris deplores our

returned the li~ght-hearted, mischievous
girl.

first concert was to be given on the
eighth day after their arrival. The tick

the Back.
One of the taunts which the old party
papers take delight in throwing at the
Populists and all labor organizations
is that they favor a pa%ternalistic gov
eminent. They are charged, to use
an old chestnut, with wanting to give
to every DOOR man who wants to farm
and who is rot properly equipped
forty acres of land and a mule" They
profess to be shocked by any such a
proposition, and if such a measure
would pass congress it would give them
a fit OF Jim jams that would send most
of them to the saloon around the corner
to take something" to brace their
nerves.. Now, while no labor organiza-
ton has ever made any such demand,
Or anything similar to it, there is no
disputing the fact that the government
has done much more than hat for
each and every mar connected with
many corporations.
1t has given to the railroad corpora
tons alone 1917, 699,697 acres of land.
This divided up into 40 acre tracts
would make 4,942,492 farmers. Now,
no one pretends that there were that
many people interested as owners of
the railroads receiving these gifts,
hence each person got not only 40 acres
Of land, but many times that much.
But how about the mule?
In addition to these lands the gov
eminent has practically given to the
Pacific roads alone. in interest and
principal, $135, 900, 1000. Since the.
adoption of our gold standard base,
mules are cheap; very good mules can
be bought for $50 ~each-good enough
to give away. At $50 each s135, O0O, 900
would buy ss,700, 900 mules. Not quite
enough to furnish the 4,942,492 farms of
40 acres each, but fully enough to fur

induced to do a generous act, but one
for which he knew he would be we'll

as he called Tiomane, to leave her man

The winter was one long ovation for
our young heroine, who lived in an &c
stasy, far above the petty anxieties
OF ordinary mortals. Comfort and lux
ury even had returned to the home of
her dearly loved ~benefactress: the flu
ture offered the perspective of a. great
fortune, which she would so gladly offer
to the kind lady to whom she owed all,
and she was indeed supremely happy.
But, strange to say, Guillaume did not
appear to share the general happiness.
AS their fortune increased. he grew
more and more gloomy. His gay, ring

CLEVELAND AND CARLlSLE,Ss
CONFERENCE.-The
The President and Secretary of the
Treasury Are Traitors to the Best In
terests of the Country-Betraying Us
to B~ondholders.

s
Just as all foresaw, Cleveland and
Carlisle are about to issue more bonds
and this time it is announced hatsthey
do not propose to stop at less than $780,
OOO, 900. IA I
For weeks they dickered with the
Morgan syndicate and allowed items
to escape to the papers in order to feel
the public pulse.
The wholesale steal of $12, OO0, 900
on the issue last year was to be re-
peated.
But the people were beginning to see
that Cleveland and Carlisle's bond
schemes were barefaced steals.
The New York World denounced the
syndicate steal in unmeasured terms,
and offered to take one million of
bonds, while it demanded that the
American people be given an opportun-
ity to take the bonds instead of ped
ding them to foreign money sharks.
The row became so big that the pup
pets in the white house and the treas
ury department took water and Carlisle
issued a circular asking for a popular
loan.
The people were to pay for the bonds
in gold. The only people in the country
who have gold are the big banks, and
they will get the bonds, but not the
people.
Why issue bonds at all?
We have about $500, 600, 900 in the
treasury of the United States.
During Clevelanl's first term he
called attention in a message to the
large sums in the treasury and that this
vast amount was a constant menace"
Yet within the year the Cleveland
Carlisle confidence operators have
added nearly $500, 900 900 to the pile in
the treasury unnecessarily; have helped
a syndicate steal $12,O 900 from the
people, and now propose to do it
again.
Why borrow money at all?
In the first place the-gold in the treas
ury need not be drawn out, as the law
does not require it.
Every bond and every government
obligation outstanding is payable not
in gold, but in coin. Silver is coin.
Why not give these money kings what
the law provides, silver coin? Load
them down with silver, and their rob
Der raids on the treasury will ! soon
cease. But it will not cease as long
as they have their confederates in
charge of the treasury.
In the next place there is no law
that requires retaining $500, 000, 1000 in
gold in the treasury.
The law simply provides that the sec
rotary of the treasury is authorized to
issue $100, 600, 900 in bonds for the pur-
chase of gold for resumption purposes.
Does that require, as the gold thugs
agree, that all this should be kept in
the treasury?
There are dark days before us when
our mortal enemies control our laws
and u executive. eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty" and never have
u liberties been in greater danger
