fellow. He was such man. He looked
like one who might break steel bars

so, and, what was more, he looked as if
his life were clean, and | liked him in

But because he was decent and noble
and likable | couldn't consent to let

had great faith in Alsbury's good
judgment He knew the world BITTER
than l. and could depend upon his
observations. But to me there was a
look Of most discouraging content upon
ViVian's face when she danced and
chatted with Halliday. and the total abb
sorption in him which she displayed did
not seem to indicate that any thought
of me had any place in her life. SO l
grew desperate. What man of 20 would
not, under such circumstances? de-
termined to settle it all for good, and
with this end in view drove my span
of grays around to her door next day
and took her out for an airing.
Why should revive pain in even an
old wound by telling how proposed to
her and how she was surprised and
sorry that should have loved her, but
she could never marry me? What the
use of giving her words? You no doubt
heard the same or something very like
when you were 20.
VI course, Halliday was the h1nderlnS
cause, though she did not say so in so
many words. took run over to Lon
don for little while, and when came
back she was married to the poor young
man who also wrote things for the
papers"
Alsbury was sensible enough not to
condole with me. He merely said
"Well, these things often happen in
life. You'll get used to them by and
by. You are young now, but after
awhile you will be cynical"
| very much suspect that he had had
disappointment in his own life.
Well, II am not dead and 1 am not
we'd" I am 40 now and well fixed. But
sometimes wonder what the outcome
would have been, what new ambitions
for achievement might have devel-
oped, had God given it. to me to realize
the dreams had at 20.

Meanwhile the discovery began to
dawn upon me that was not the only
one who was seeking Vivian Meredith
with intentions. On several occasions
at the house on Tenth street had met
another caller, a strong-faced, earnest
looking young fellow, Halliday by
name. 1 found upon inquiry that he
also was poor and wrote things for the
papers, Vivian was very gracious to
him also and her mother treated him as
quite favorite. I liked Halliday, but
l did not like their attitude toward him,
so told Alsbury about it. He was sort
of friend and mentor of mine. He was
a worldly bachelor, 40 and withal cynic-
al. He laughed at my apprehensions
and said: "You are rich are you not?
Halliday is poor. Everything is in your
favor, for money will buy anything from
a mans honor to woman's love-" And
well, on the whole, believed him and
thought he was very clever, and, in fact,

my heart bound and then fall back
twice the distance it had leaped.

done. She dressed well, she talked well
and she danced well.

"Old Bill Vosburg. the goods

he was no worse a criminal than the

thought the legislature should make a
law declaring the farmers who came
on to buy green goods should be prose-

for them. They were greater criminals
than Vosburg, because he was but fieec-

THERE CAN BE NO SECESSION.
Ex-President Harrison Declares that II
Would Re an Impos sibility.

Would BE an Impossibility.
"Our government is not a confedera-
ton of states, but as strictly a govern
ment of the people as is any state gov
eminent" writes Ex-President Harri-
son discussing This Country of Ours
in Ladies' Home Journal. 1T
is true that the vote upon the adoption
originally and the vote upon amend
ments is by states, in state conventions
or in state legislatures; and that in
various other ways the states are recog-
nized and used in the administration
of the national government. 1t could
hardly have been otherwise. But the
construction of Mr.. Calhoun and OF
the Secessionists that our Constitution
is mere compact between independent
states; that any state may withdraw
from the Union for any breach of condi-
tons of the compact, and that each
state is to judge for itself whether the
compact has been broken, has no sup
port either in the history of the adop-
ton of the Constitution or in the text
of the instrument itself. The Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States take
hold of and deal with each individual,
not as citizen of this or that state,
but as citizen of the United States.
Each of us owes allegiancec to the
United States-to obey and support its
Constitution and laws; and no act nor
ordinance of any state can absolve us
or make it lawful for us to disobey the
laws or resist the authorities of the
United States. We owe another al
legiance, each to his own state, to sup
port and obey it's Constitution and
laws, provided those do not conflict
with the Constitution and laws of the
United States go The question
whether an act of Congress is uncon-
stitutional, or whether an act
Of any officer of the United States,
done officially, is unauthorized, must, OF
course, be decided by the courts of the
United States--in the last resort by the
Supreme Court. A power in a state
court to finally declare a Law of the
United States invalid would be destruc-
tive of national authority, and, indeed,
of the national existence. There can
be, in proper Constitutional sense, no
secession and no war between a state
and the United States; for no ordinance
repudiating the national authority OF
organizing resistance to it can have
any legal sanction, even when passed
by a state legislature"
