Washington, Dec. l7.--Rcports to the
postoffice department from the money or
der divisions Of the principal postoffices
Of the country indicate tremendous in.
crease over the same periods Of the last
four years in the issue Of both foreign and
domestic money orders, that are evident

These conditions are accepted as pro-
nounced indication of the return Of better
times and improved financial affairs. A
single steamer from New York last week
took out nearly 10000 money orders, az
gregating q sum in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, and 10 per cent Of which were
destined for Norway and Sweden.
The report Of the New York Office
which is one Of the principal test" Offices
Of the country, says that the money order
business is averaging over double what II
was this time last year. Over 10000 or
ders are benig handled daily, against lesl
than 10000 daily for the second week o.
December last year.

The love-making proceeded more
cautiously now.
1t was night. The air waited q
thousand sweet scents from the old
garden. Strolling through its unkept
paths. with eyes half closed. but sensi-
bilities keenly alert. were Somers and
the Sonora. His arm had strayed un-
rebuked about her waist. The music
OF her voice wooed him like sirens
song. Strange, strange that he blessed
the lucky chance that had brought him
to this place. She stretched forth her
white arms and laid them lingeringly
about his neck. He stopped and kissed
her. Just then there was sound OF
hastily retreating footsteps as II their
owner had grown incautious, under the
influence Of some strong emotion.
The mooth hath eyes, and thousand
orbs are the stars. More than once be-
fore Somers fancied that he heard re-
treating footsteps as he returned from
stolen meeting, but the cordial man
ner of Don Gonzales had thrown him
completely or his guard.
| A moonlight ride had been arranged
upon the road that winds beside the
beach. At the last moment word was
sent that the Sonora was too Ill to go.
But Don Gonzales. with strange In
slstcnce, declared that SOmers should
not lose the pleasure Of the evening for
the trifiing indispositiOn of woman.
Somers climbed into the snowy trap
with a curious presentiment OF evil.
