one OF them muttered in passing a few
words which Harold interpreted to mean
dogs of Nazarenes.'
Il suppose you are going to Mrs. Her
on's tonight, Miss Dumaresq?" Tom Rol-
lesion asked. ''May I have the pleasure
of the first waltz?"
Never make engagements beforehand
said Michele little sharply. "Wait till
the evening, and then we'll see.'
Mr.. Dumaresq came out by the next
train, grave and reserved as usual but
very kind and considerate. His first ques-
ton was how Anne liked Egypt so far.
Very much, Anne replied, so far; but
she did not think she had been there long
enough to make up her mind.
Callers took up the rest of the afternoon,
and throughout the whole time Michelle's
tongue never seemed to rest. Dinner was
served earlier than usual in order that
the ladies might dress for the dance after,
and not before, their evening meal; and
Michele begged to be excused even before
dessert was on the table. Her eyes were
on fire, her cheeks gloWed with excite
ment.
At quarter to nine the whole party
was ready. Anne was dressed in white
she had yielded so far to Mrs. Dumar-
esq's representations-and wore white
flowers in her hair. Michele came down
last of all, radiant in dainty pink dress
and ornaments Of filigree silver. A light
shawl or handkerchief thrown over the
head was all that was needed by way of
protection against the cool night breeze.
Five donkeys-ordered beforehand from
the station, with their respective donkey
boys-awaited them at the door. There
was no other way of going to a house at
any distance in Ramleh! There were no
carriages to be hired, and one could not
walk comfortably through the deep, soft
sand in evening dress. Anne was amused
and little startled at seeing what was
expected from her in what may be called
horsemanship only by courtesy; but she
found her steed's PAGES very easy, and
was forced to admit, from her afternoons
experience Of the desert sand, that riding
was more comfortable than walking
They dismounted at the door of a house
from which came sounds of music and
moving feet In five minutes they had
removed their cloaks, drunk their cups of
tea or coffee, and been conducted into the
dancing room, where, in a lull between
two square dances, they found their host
and hostess.
But as Anne came forward she caught
Sight Of another figure, the appearance of
which dimmed her eyes and took away her
breath with surprise.
Then she recovered herself. Why>should
she be astonished? After all, there was
nothing in itself very remarkable in the
presence Of the man who had asked her to
remember him, and whose name, as he
had told her himself, was Damer Law
renee.

Glowing Eu.ogy of the. Senator By

Glowing Eu!ogy of the Senator by
Mr.. We1ton.
In dominating John G. Spooner for
United States Senator, State Senator
Welton of Dane said:
ssMr. President and Gentlemen of the
EenatS- The joint Republican senatorial
caucus oY the two branches of the Leg
islature, by its enthusiasm and unanimity
of action, conferred upon it's nominee such
a compliment as few, if any, citizens OF
this State have been honored with in the
past.
"In obedience to an almost unanimous
demand of the Republican party of this
State and in line with the personal pref
erence of the members of that caucus, and
with a keen sense of the great response
bility they assumed, they unanimously
nominated candidate for your suffrage
at this time who in national legislation
has had broad experience and will be no
experiment. He is one who, carrying with
him an honorable record, will go back to
the United States Senate fortified with
the experience of six years of intelligent
and faithful service which has had the
approval of his own constituency and has
been the Admiration of the nation.
Gin the history of this country there
have been few periods when there existed
in national affairs a greater necessity for
honest, broad and brainy craftsmanship
than at present. Therefore the result OF
that caucus was not only q matter of the
deepest interest to the people of this
State, but nation watched for it's action,
little less interested than the people of
our own State. That the caucus acted
wisely and we'll is the universal verdict.
They and all who contributed to the re-
suit are to be congratulated upon having
made a nomination which not only has
the approval of our political friends, but
so far as my knowledge extends, has
evoked no criticism from the most radical
partisan of other political faiths. The
nomination has also received the endorse
ment and commentator of nearly the en-
tire press of the country.
Therefore, in accordance with the
unanimous vote of the senatorial caucus
and in obedience to a demand of very
large majority of the people of this State,
regardless of other political affiliations,
and IN compliance with the expressed wish
and advice of thousands of our most pat
riotic American citizens scattered
throughout the different States of the
Union, have the hoaor to present to you
the name of the Hon. John G. Spooner,
of this city, for United States Senator"

CHAPTER VIII.

Lawrence, who wore an impassive and
rather weary look upon his handsome
face, was talking to the lady with whom
he had danced the last quadrille. AS
Mrs. Dumaresq's party entered, he sud-
denly lifted his head, gave his long mus
tache a sharp pull, and asked his partner
the name of the new arrivals. She ia
vored him with short history of the
Dumaresq family in reply, and told him
that the young lady with them was a
Miss Carteret, Mrs. Dumaresq's cousin,
who had just come out from England.
He had been persuaded to stay for a
few days in Alexandria by Mr. Calcott, a
young Englishman whose acquaintance
he had made in Norway two years ago.
A chance meeting with Mr.. Heron had led
to his being included in the invitation to
Mrs. Heron's evening party. Mr.. Calcott
was so we'll known and so highly connect
ed that friend of his-especially one SO
irreproachable in manners and appear
ance as Mr.. Damer Lawrence-was re-
ceived at once into society with open
arms. Mr.. Calcott was responsible for
him. AS it happened, Mr.. Calcott's friend-
ship for Damer Lawrence had only ex-
tended to salmon catching, and outdoor
any knowledge of his antecedents or his
tory. All that Calcott really knew about
him was that he was capital sportsman
and "good fellow" with plenty of couS~
age and plenty of money.
Mr. Heron observed the direction OF
Lawrence's eyes, and thought he woult,
introduce him to Mrs. Dumaresq and he1
niece. But before he could offer to do so,
at the conclusion of the duet, Mr.. Law
renee had quietly made his way to Miss
Carteret's side and was greeting her like
an old acquaintance. He asked her to
dance. She refused; she had not been
dancing all the evening. Mrs. Dumaresq
was led off smiling by a partner-she
would dance all night if she had the OPP
portunity-and Lawrence took her place,
a low armchair, at Anne's side.
"And how do you like Egypt?" he in
CURED 1t was a tame beginning, but
what else could he say?
when do you start for Cairo?" was her
question.
He looked at her keenly as he answered.
She puzzled him. He could not tell wheth-
err she wished him to go or stay, whether
she had been glad to see him or not.
Il am waiting here for letters. / may
be detained several days. Are you not
going to Cairo, too?"
II hope to see it before leave Egypt.
It has been one of the many dreams of
my life to go up the Nile; but, like most
of my dreams, dare say it will not meet
with fulfllment.
"Why should it not?" said Lawrence
to himself IF she is as rich as they say.
going up the Nile ought to be easy enough
for fer." Aloud he added: "Your expe-
rience is not like mine in one respect"
what is that?"
'My dreams always come to pass. l
have scarcely ever made a plan that l
have not carried out, or wish wish that
have not been able to crafty. Every
thing has been so fatally easy with me.
At school, at college, was lazy enough;
but what | wanted I achieved. | went
into Parliament at five and twenty and
sat there for some months. became my

AnecdOte of Lowell.

The art and fine spirit of James Rus
Cell Lowell are still quite frequently
spoken of in the literary circles Of Lon
don, and anecdotes of him are told with
keen enjoyment. On one occasion at a
large banquet the peculiarities Of
American speech were discussed with
English bluntness. Lord S. called to
Mr.. Lowell loudly, so as to silence all
other speakers:
''There is one new expression invent
ed by your countrymen SO foolish and
vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We
don't burn corpses. No Englishman
would use phrase so absurd"
"And yet" said Mr.. Lowell, gently,
"your poet Gray says, speaking of the
dead:
fires
'And in the burial service of the
church of England it is said: Dust to
dust, and ashes to ashes We sin in
g>ol company" A cordial burst Of
applause greeted this prompt rejoinder
\ clever New York girl made an
equally apt rejoinder last winter in
London. She was invited to meet the
Prizes of Wales at breakfast with some
other Americans. During breakfast
the Prince rallied her countrymen good
humoredly on the liberty taken by
Americans in clipping the kings En-
glish,' robbing words of letters in pro-
nunciaticu. After they had risen from
the table he found the shy little girl
in a corBer, and asked her kindly:
what In London has most impressed
your
"Sinpul, your Highness," was the
timid reply.
"Sinpul?" Gaid the puzzled Prince.
"Oh, yes: There is nothing in the
town as wonderful to me-
81 am afraid" he said, with slight
expression of annoyance, ''that you
know my London better than /. Sinpul?
Is it theater-a cafe-what is it?''
"a church, your Highness. We Amer
leans would call it st. Paul; but as you
call st. John, Sinjun, this, it seems,
must be Sinpul."
The Prince laughed heartily, and de-
clared himself fairly wosted.

The Deficit still Growing.

The Treasury deficit for the current
month of January is estimated at $l5,-
100000. This means a deficit which Is
accommodating at the rate Of $10O,OOO,-
600 a year. There is no nation on earth
whose Treasury is capable of standing
such an enormous drain indefinitely,
There is hardly nation on earth whose
credit would not be seriously impaired
by such a condition of affairs. OF
course, there is no likelihood that gov
eminent expenditures will continue to
outstrip receipts at the rate Of $15, OOO,-
600 month. The fact, however, that
at the close Of the first half Of the pres
ent fiscal year, on Dec. 81 last, the de-
felt had reached $39,OO0,000 demon
strates how urgent it is that Congress
should take early action to supply the
government with adequate revenue. 1t
also shows the absurdity Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands Mark Tapleyism in contending
in his recent annual message that TIL
Treasury is not in need of more in
come.
Fortunately, the revenue problem will
soon be solved. An administration will
be ushered into power sixty days hence
which holds that this nation is rich
enough to pay as it goes, which does
not believe in playing the medicant,
and which has no insane dread of a sur
plus.-New York Commercial-Adver-
tiser

the Mckinley law FROM the provinces
under consideration amounted to about
$4,000 per annum, and in the two
years of the Wilson law amounted to
nearly 100000 per annum, an average
increase of about 500 per cent. Here

Everybody knows the increase OF
importations of wool under absolute
free trade, as provided by the Wilson
law, has been enormous. The total
wool importations from the provinces
under consideration were in 1923, under
the Mckinley law, $25O,S71, in 1894
$79, 497, in 1895, ten months OF which
were under the Wilson law, 81, 2O3, 919,

Is the Silver Question Dying?
The following editorial from the At
lanta Journal, owned and controlled
by Hoke Smith, who withdrew from
Cleyelands cabinet because he disa-
greed with the President on the silver
question, is extremely interesting and
suggestive:
The speech delivered few days ago
at the banquet of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association in Balti-
more, by Hon. Joseph Patterson, OF
Tennessee, has attracted attention all
over the country and provoked much
comment from the press. Mr.. Patter-
son was one of those who voted for
Bryan and Sewall because he felt
bound to stand by the regular nomi-
necs Of the Democratic party, but he
would not accept the Chicago platform
as a declaration of true Democratic
principles.
In his Baltimore speech he expressed
surprise that the South should have
been so carried away by the freersilver
idea. On this line he said:
Engaged in the production Of cotton,
6S per cent. Of which is exported and
sold to gold standard countries, with
out a silver mine from the Chesapeake
bay to the Rio Grande River, without
even the temptation Of burden Of
debt, and with the teachings Of such
illustrious statesmen as Jefferson,
Jackson, Calhoun, Benton, Lamar and
Hill to guide them, how the people OF
these States, in disregard of the en-
lightened judgment of the commercial
and scholastic world, could have aban-
doned their old allies, antagonized the
President of their choice, and staked
everything on an economic heresy,
which, if adopted, would have led inev-
itably to silver recommendation and ma
tional disaster, is a problem which de-
fies a rational solution. 1t is unlike the
Southern people. 1t is contrary to their
history and traditions. 1t is not their
blunder, but the blunder of the politi-
clans who manipulated and controlled
the party machinery. They never con-
templated the political disaster which
they have wrought"
In the last sentence Mr.. Patterson al
ludes to the cutting loose of the South
from it's natural political and CONNER
cial alliance with the North and it's CO.
operation with the little silver produc-
ing States Of the West. There is much
truth in his assertion that the South
was induced to adopt the free silver
idea largely through the efforts of pol
iticians. 1t is safe to say that this
idea is not as strong in the South to-
day as it was six months ago, and it Is
also safe to predict that it will never
again be as strong in this section as 1t
was then.
