''The very best of all, in my opinion"
two admiring spectators near him were
saying. "A colonel in the days of the duke
of Marlborough and "a lady of the same

Not in those days, perhaps, but certainly
in the days when in all Covent Garden there
seemed no lilies Of the valley fresh enough
for Capt. Narration to send to Miss Berwick
for Lady Hurstmonceux' fancy ball-the
ball where she had figured as a lady of the
court of Queen Anne, and lie as one of
Marlborough's colonels. =, ~:...> .~s...s....= i

upon as the successes of the night, and in the

Sylvia who came in. Not the Sylvia of other
days, so radiant, so girlish, SO fresh in her
dainty dresses-the years are not SO kind
but sweet, serious woman in plain black,
with the old masses of golden hair showing
under her little bonnet.
Dick, with a, sudden strange sensation of
shyness that was very like fear, drew back
until he was almost hidden by screen, so
that she did not see him.
But the room was full of a fragrance her
heart knew in moment. He had laid the
lilies upon q table, and she took them up
with a little soft exclamation of pleasure.
He saw how tender was the face that bent
over the flowers, face no longer young, but
with new loveliness all it's own.
Then he came forward without word.
She knew him instantly. The flush of rosy
color, the light in her eyes, the joy she could
not stife after all those hungry dragging
years of loneliness, conjured back al, and
more than all, the glamour Of their youth.

He took her in his arms and answered,
passionately: "My darling, l never knew

linen there was very complete and
eloquent silence between them, till Sylvia
looked up with her old smile: "Why, Dick,
you can't mean that you saw the colonel OF
the days of the duke of Marlborough. What
were you doing in the Albert hall?"
Il was dragged there by force by small
tryant-my sisters Baby Buntie-and got
the best Christmas present of all, though
didn't deserve it. Good old Santa Claus had
not forgotten me when she showed me the
lady in blue with the lilies in her hand.''
Il dare say it was silly and sentimental OF
me to dress the dolls like ourselves, but
sometimes, Dick, when I sat here working
at them l could hear the music-that waltz
'Souviens toi,' and see the pink lights just
as they were on the happiest night Of all my
life. There was nothing left but my dea1

Dick had been ordered I'd India, and very
soon after old Berwick had gone under, as
they say. This time in double sense, for
the crash that took his fortune took his life,
and left Sylvia absolutely alone in theworld.
Society was NATURALLY too busy with it's
own concerns to remember the comet of a
day. Dick had been at first sore and angry,
then cynical, over his own:passion.
The organ played Christmas hymns, the
hymns that, whether we will or no, take us
back, and exercise such subtle magic. Even
to the most careless listener they had a
touch of fresh significance among these gay
memorials of good will and kindness, not
towards men, but towards the children, to
whom the pitiless heritage of the sins of the
fathers comes with such cruel force.
Suddenly Dicks eye was riveted by pair
of immense dolls, and his heart beat as it
had not beaten for Is years.

nets.
The Albert hall was very crowded, and,
gittering with thousands of toys, seemed a
very fairy-land to Buntie, whose heart was
wrung with longing for the dolls, despite
the fact that a large family, very pale with
much kissing, slept peacefully in her gay
nursery in Berkeley square.
"But, Buntie, these are for little girls who
have no dollies."

Short"
Il would like to send them one of mine,'
said Buntie. 1T must be so drefful to have
none on Christmas.'
Uncle Dick had no very clear notion of the
utter desolation this terrible idea implied
to Baby Buntie-Buntie, who woke raptur-
ously on the most magical of all mornings,
with full trust in the annual miracle that
was the securest certainty of her little creed.
Then not only the tiny stocking would be
brimful of delight, but all the nursery
turned into a novel wonder-world of JOY
full surprises.
But something in the sweet spontaneous
pity of the child touched him, and he put
his hand into his pocket with a sense of
compunction that the hard fate of those
forgotten by Santa Claus had never been
brought home to him.
Il think can show you the way. Take
this, darling"
Buntie proudly dropped a shining coin
into the chariot of a very captivating fairy
queen, and gazed about her from her lofty
coign of vantage with rose-flushed cheeks
and eyes like stars.
They had got among the dolls in fancy
dresses, and even Maj. Dick Narration found,
as usual, that, taking Buntie out pleasuring
meant amusement. The girls-and they
" were numerous enough-who had tried to
marry Dick Narration would not have
known that impenetrable gentleman in the
guise of Buntie's willing slave.
Once upon a time, before the death of
Dicks godfather and the comfortable two

that event, he had been madly in love. For

ABOUT Us.

1t seems to be generally conceded
that we are to be compelled to mako
the race for magistrate, whether or no.
We have urged our friends publicly to
desist from using our name in this con-
nection and given them HI in private
for not more actively supporting us,
and are advised at this writing that the
town is practically unanimous for us.
OF course the nomination is equivalent
to an election and we have wired Bob
Taylor to stay in Nashvillelong enough
to make out our commission. We are
advised that the opposition, what little
there is, will charge us with a mercen-
airy motive in making the race; that
we are stockholder in new Kelley
Cure and want to try it on the court.
we want to deny this right now and
set ourselves right before the people.
We are homeopathist, and believe
the hair of dog is good for the bite,
and when we get into the county court
will advocate the use of more hair. AS
the convention is tomorrow night we
think it will not be out of place to con-
graduate our democratic friends on
their happy selection of candidate for
magistrate, and say that we accept the
race simply to crafty a laudable am
bition to sit as an associate justice with
Buck Gump in the important cases
that arise in his court.

ilgton to tell Mckinley that everything
was going against the Platt- Mckinley
candidate for mayor of New York, and
that there was also great danger that
the republicans would lose control of
the legislature. He tried to persuade
Mckinley to write personal letter for
publication, favoring Tracy, and al
most, but not quite succeeded. Nc
Kinley has the matter under advise
ment and is rather inclined to do what
Plat wants him to do, but several of
the shrewdest members of his cabinet
are trying to show him that it would be
unwise for him to do so. They tell him
that everybody in New York knows
him to be in favor of Tracy, and that a
letter signed by him, making that
declaration, would not get Tracy a
single vote that he would not get any
way, while it would be bar to the adj
ministration denying after Tracy's de-
feat that it had sought to force Boss
Platt's man on the people of New York.

Some of McKinley's fool friends may
get him into serious trouble if they
continue to add to their gloating over
the failure of Senator Wolcott's inter
national bimetallic commission talk
about Mckinley having lived up to the
promise made by the republican plat
form, by trying to secure international
bimetallism through Senator Wolcott's
commission. They may discover be-
fore the coming session of congress is
very old that there are silver men
among the republicans as we'll as among
the democrats and populists who have
the courage to question the good faith
of Mckinley in promising Senator VOL
colt that the efforts of the commission
to secure the consent of the British and
other European governments to the
holding of an international monetary
convention for the purpose of bringing
about international bimetallism would
be officially backed by him and his ad-
ministration. A demand may be made
upon the administration from the floor
Of congress for an official explanation
of the stories alleging that while the
Wolcott commission was asking Eng
lands cooperation, in the name of the
United States, to secure international
bimetallism, the government of the
United States gave the government Of
England to understand that no sucl
cooperation was really desired. Every
thing considered, the wise friends o.
Mckinley ought to be able to see tina
the less they say about silver promises
having been kept, the better for thei
friends good name.

CIVIL SERVICE NO PROTECTION.

Hypocrisy is the most contemptible
Of vices. Only last week it was an
nounced with q great flourish hof
trumpets that the cabinet had decided
to enforce McKinley's civil service or
der, that no government employee should
be discharged except upon written
charges and after being given ansiop-
portunity to answer the charges, not
withstanding the decision of court
that the order was not binding in law;
and those Ohio republicans employed
by the governmental Washington, who
had declined to go home and vote to
help get Boss Hanna back in the senate
have been notified that Sidney A.
Perkins, who is known as Boss Hanna's
personal representative in Washington,
has put their names upon black list
which is to be turned over to Boss
Hanna when he comes back to Wash
ington, after the Ohio election. OF
course Mr.. Perkins hasn't told any Of
those put upon the black list that Boss
Hanna intends to have them discharg-
ed if they do not go to Ohio and vote
for him, but that is what he wishes
them to suppose and some of them re-
gard the hint as being sufficiently
strong cause them to change their
minds and decide to go home and vote.
They know that no matter how much
the cabinet may prate in public about
protecting the civil service employees Of
the government, that nod from Boss
Hanna is sufficient to bring about the
dismissal of an employe in any branch
OF the government. All the news that
comes to Washington indicates thai
Boss Hanna is very badly frightened
man over the prospects of his defeat,
and the latest blast from Col. Conger,
ex-member of the republican national
committee, and member of Gov. Bush
nell's staff, as ainst him and his methods
is not calculated to allay his fright, II
the democrats of Ohio had not been
heavily handicapped in their campaign
there would have been little doubt o
their carrying the state. owing to thu
extent of the secret opposition OF re
publicans to Boss Hanna. They ma.
do so yet, especially if the visit of Bry

democratic enthusiasm and courag,
