Thinks a Rapture Is Possible.

Madrid. Oct. 25.-El Liberal thinks a
rupture is possible as a result of the ne
gotiations which are about to open be-
tween Spain and the United States, and
thinks we ought to avoid this rupture,

though the government should act in
spirit of moderation, the nation will un-
der TO circumstances authorize the re-
nunciation of Spanish rights. In con-
clusion, Ell Liberal asks for the publica-
ton Of the note which the United
States minister delivered to the Spanish
government and it also asks for state
ment of the policy the government in
tends to pursue toward the United
States

Found Bones in the Ruins.

Genoa, Ills, oct. 25.-In the ruins OF
John Sewers barn, which was burned
lately, were found bones resembling
those from a human body. In conse-

and speculation and an investigation
will be made. No one knows the origin
Of the fire. and though some hogs were
cremated the bones are not thought to
be theirs The fire has also demon

Hence Their Anxiety.

"Sixthly, prolongation of the struggle
with its te rible drain on the Spanish
finances and embarrassments impending
to the tune Of IS. 100000 month-on top
Of the $40O, 100000 already spent-early
this winter will force Spain to pledge
more sources Of pennsular revenue to
raise money to go on with paciflcation
in Cuba.
"Hence the anxiety OF the court and
the government to secure the good will
of the United States, which is shown in
the adoption of a new colonial policy,
in making promises TO settle the Amer
ican claims after pacification and in
holding out a prospect of advantages
for American trade and capital in the
Spanish West Indies.
"Views on these delicate matters are
being exchanged between the two gov
ernments with great reserve"
The prevailing opinion in court and
official circles in Madrid Is that the
American government shows a tempo
rizing and friendly disposition.

Friendly Woodford Heard From.
Madrid, Oct. 25.-A high diplomatic
parsonage who has special means of ac-
curately judging Spain's motives, claims
that the queen regent and the Sagasta
government are sincere both in their
wish to obtain the sympathy Of the
American government and to conciliate
the majority of the Cubans-especially
with the whites, whom the new policy
aims to detach from the insurrection.
Many obstacles may retard the re-
alization of the liberal programme,
this high diplomat continued. First.
the condition of the island makes the
executing Of reforms and the taking Of
elections very difficult. Secondly, the
division i'm the Autonomist party makes
its support unreliable just when the
government wants it to be the corner
stone Of the new regime.
Makes Mischief
Thirdly, the ambiguous attitude Of
the so-called Spanish party-the Con-
stitutional Union, makes mischief, as its
proffered support is conditional on the
government making no large extension
of the electoral franchise. as that would
deprive it of the control Of the mu-
nicipal and provincial councils and the
insular assembly
"Fourthly, the creating OF a local as
sembly with a responsible executive is
exceedingly unpopular in Spain, and is
combated even by influential Liberals
and newspapers like The Heraldo and
The impartial.

when, these being opened, he led the
way into courty ard, we could see little
more than a tall, sharp-gabled house,
pro iecting over us against pale sky;
and a group of men and horses in one
corner. Bure spoke to one of the men,
and begging us to dismount, said the
footman would show US to NJ. de Pa
vannes.
The thought that we were at the end
of our long journey, and in time to
warn Louis of his danger, made us for
get all our eXertions, our fatigue and
stiffness. Gladly throwing the brides
to Jean we ran up the steps after the
servant. The thing was done. Hur-
rah! the thing was done!
The house-as we passed through a
long passage and up some steps
seemed full of people. We heard voices
and the ring of arms more than once.

ing lamp. ST will inform NJ. de Pa
vannes Of your arrival" he said, respect
fully, and passed behind a curtain,
which seemed to hide the door of an
inner apartment. AS he did SO, the
clink of glasses and the hum of con-
verSatiOn reached us.
''He has company supping with him."

of the dust from my boots with my

waiting.
I began to wonder as minutes passed
blythe gay company we had seen put
ting it in my mind, suppose-whether
NJ. de Pavannes, of Paris, might not
turn out to be very different person
from Louis de Pavannes, of Caylus;
whether the kings courtier would be
as friendly as Kits lover. And I was
still thinking of this without having
settled the point to my satisfaction
when the curtain was thrust aside
again. A very tall man, wearing a
splendid suit of black and silver and a
stiff, trencher-like ruff, came quickly
in and stood smiling at us, little dog
in his arms. The little dog sat up and
snarled; and Croisette gasped. It was
not our old friend Louis, certainly! 1t
was not Louis de Pavannes at all. It
was no old friend at all. It was
Vidalne de Beers!
''Welcorne, gentlenien!" he said, s1nil-
ing at us-and never had the cast been
SO apparent in his eyes. WELCOME to

You may have to complain of your lodg-

tonight than hospitality But you shall
not need to complain of your supper"
He drew aside the curtain as he spoke,
and passed into the next room before
us, not giving a thought apparently to
the possibility that we might strike him
from behind. There certainly was an
odd quality apparent in him at times
which seemed to contradict what we
knew of him.

CHAPTER ".
ENTRAPPED.

There was long silence. We stood
glaring at him, and he smiled upon US
as q cat smiles. Croisette told ME
afterwards that he could have died of
mortifcation-of shame and anger that
we had been so outwitted. For my
SELF did not at once grasp the position.
I did not understand. I could not dis
entangle myself in a moment from the
belief in which I had entered the house
that it was Louis de Pavannes' house.
But 1 seemed vaguely to suspect that
Beers had swept him aside and taken
his place. My first impulse, therefore
-obeyed on the instant-was to stride
to the vidame's side and grasp his arm.
''What have you done?'' I cried, my
voice sounding hoarsely even in my
own ears. "What have you done with
NJ. de Pavannes? Answer me!''
He showed just a little more of his
sharp white teeth as he looked down
at my face-a flushed and troubled
face, doubtless. ''Nothing-yet," he re-
piled, very mildly. And he shook me
off,
"Then," retorted, chow do you come
here?" He glanced at Croisette and
shrugged his shoulders, as if had been
a spoiled child. ''M. Anne does not
seem to understand" he said, with
mock courtesy, that I have the honor
to welcome him to my house, the Hotel
Beers, Rue de Platriere."

and he smiled grimly. $50 you have
made the acquaintance Of Blaise Bure,
my excellent master of the horse!
Worthy Blaise! Indeed, indeed, now I
understand. And you thought, you

his tone changed strangely and he fixed
us suddenly with angry eyes, "to play

his eyes, "they would. and like the job. f"

interrupted him. The rage 1 felt,

folly as by his arrogance, would let me

words leaping over one another in my

TWILIGHT.

When was young the twilight seemed too
long.
How often on the western window seat
I leaned my book against the misty pane
And spelled the last enchanting lines again
The while my mother hummed an ancient
song
Or sighed a little and said: THE hour is
sweet
When I, rebellious, clamored for the light.
But now love the soft approach of night.
And now with folded hands I sit and
dream,
While all too fleet the hours of twilight
seem;
And thus know that growing old.
o granaries of agei manifold
And royal harvest of the common years!
There are in all thy treasure house no ways
But lead by soft descent and gradual slope
To memories more exquisite than hope.
Thine is the Iris born of olden tears,
And thrice more happy are the happy days
That live divinely in thy lingering rays.
So autumn roses bear a 1oveIer flower;
So, in the emerald after-sunset hour.
The orchard wall and trembling aspen
trees
Appear an infinite Hesperides.
Aye, as at dusk we sit with folded hands,
Who knows, who cares in what enchanted
lands
We wander while the undying memories
throng?
When was young the twilight seemed too
long.

recent national campaign and the induce

leaders of the Republican party for the
purpose of securing votes, after which the
inaugural address of Major Mckinley was
spoken of. and when analysed was found
to be identically the same as that Of
Cleveland Here the speaker opened out
on the schemes made use of by the gold

their benefit and McKinley's policy. be-
