CHAPTER v.

1t was quite late in the morning
when he was aroused from n deep
sleep by a loud knocking at his door.
Still fancyiug himself at Carne's. and
that his master was calling him. he
rubbed his heavy eyelids and an
swered:
"Yes, sir; directly, sir; I'll be down in
q moment, sir"
around the superb room and Its fur
niture in bewilderment and terror.
The knocking continued, accompanied
now by q voice calling:
Master Greville. Master Grevilie! II
you please. sir. breakfast is quite ready
and the ladies are waiting" Then the
impression that he had died and
passed into a happier state Of existence
left him, as the recollection of the
previous nights events returned.
He started up and admitted the mu-
latto boy, who assisted him to make a
hasty toilet.
After which he went below stairs,
Romy preceding him to open the door
OF a pleasant breakfast room. where
ne found Mrs. Greville and Lois How
ard, both in pretty, white cashmere
morning dress. Both met him with
caresses and compliments on his i'm
proved appearance.
Oh. that Lois. with her gay, spark
ling beauty, and her fond, s~isterly free
doms. How dreadful it would be TO
o her, II he should lose all the rest!
n was the thought that sped like
a bolt of Ice through the boys heart
as he sat down at the breakfast table.
He tried, for her sake. to speak and
act with propriety. He narrowly OBJ
served the manners of Mrs. Greville
d Miss Howard. that he might learn
from them, Nature had done much al
ready for him. She had made him
handsome, graceful and intelligent.
lie was, therefore. quick to apprehend
N skillful to initiate the amenities of
cultivated society. And il sometimes
he made a mistake, his elected" moth
er would suppose that he did it on pur-
pose, or from the effect of habits con-
tr1oted on Water street.
After breakfast. Mrs. Greyille, who
was unwearied in attention to her s're-
turned prodigal." asked him how he
would amuSe himself.
And. TO her great delight. the bow
answered. If he could have his school
books he would like to study, as he had
lost so much time.
Certainly, my dear Fulke, certain
~. And you need not immune your
sell IN your own room. You may have
the library; no one uses it now. | will
order Romy TO unpack your class
book and take them there at once,''
said Mrs. Greville, in a high state OF
appreciation.
And now behold the fish boy I'm a
dressing gown and slippers. seated In
an easy chair, with a pile of books be-
fore him on the table, In the sumptu-
ous library Of Greville House .
Here he invariably passed his long
mornings In a~ssiduous study, and so
won upon the good opinion OF his
mother and his guardian" that thcy
decided upon rewarding him by giving
him a Juven!e party during the Christ
mas holidays. When Weiby heard of
this he privately procured Count
D'orsay's Etiquette for Gentlemen and
read II with attention, keeping Il In his
pocket for constant secret reference.

o,enca. these exalted sentiments were
| mingled with admiration for the beau

arose and took leave. and soon a1ter

Mrs. Greville and Lois both kissed

called Welby. and dismissed MIN 10
seek reDose.
He vent up stairs to his handsome
chamber, locked the door on the IN
side. an9 being very tired, unuresseu
and got into his luxurious bed. But ne
was far too much excited TO sleep. he
had left the gas burning. and now lay
surveying by its brilliant light the
magnificence that surrounded nim-tne
frescoed ceiling. the succeed walls
and the medallion carpet OF his room;
the green and gold satin damask WIN
dow hangings. sweeping in heavy toids
from the ceiling to the floor; the hanu-
some, f%ull-length mirror swinging De-
tween them: the rosewood and marble
| topped bureau and dressing table; the
rosewood wardrobe. with It's mirrored
doors: the couch and arm chair, COW
cred with green and gold satin damask
70 match the window h~angings; ana
the numerous little accessories OF COM
fort, convenience and luxury scattered
through the apartment from the ormo-
In clock on the mantle piece to the
moss foot cushion on the floor.
Then his thoughts flew back to the
poor, bare room at Carne's, or which
he had only the privilege or his own
length on one Of the wooden benches
as a couch.
What magic had brought about this
sudden change in his fortunesf lie
could not answer this question with
any degree of satisfaction. or one
thing only ne was certain, that he had
been no party to this arrangement;
that he had resisted it as much as pos
sible until he found all resistance vain.
He could not even surmise how long
this wondrous change might last, or III
II might not be as short as 1t had been
sudden. But, short or long. he deter
mined that he would industriously
make hay while the sun shone. He
would read as many books and acquire
as much knowledge as he possibly
could while in this house OF leisure
and abundance. He would go TO
school anywhere that his self-styled
mother pleased to send him, and study
hard while the opportunity OF doing
so should be granted him. He would
save up all the pocket money they
might give him, as a little fund in
ease Of another change Of fortune, and
if that change should come suddenly.
and they should find out that they had
deceived themselves. why, he would
remind them that he had de
ceived them, and so appeal to their
sense of justice and kindness, not only
for pardon for the past. but aid for
the future to continue his education.
In the midst Of these ~cogitations he
fell asleep, and passed in fancy at
once TO the newsboys' domicile at
Carne's.

HALE CR|T|C|sEs MORGAN
The Maine Senator Opposed to
Cuban Recognition.
DANGER OF WAR WITH SPAIN
Mr.. Morgan Accused of Attempting
TO Establish a Policy for the Adj
IninistratiOn-The President Pur-
suing the Proper Course Accord
ing to Mr.. HaIers View.

immediately after the routine morning
business Mr.. Morgan called up his resOlu-
ton granting belIigerent rights to the
Cuban insurgents, and Mr. Hale took the
floor. He said that while he had been
unable 10 give this subject careful consid-
Grafton, owing to his absence from the city,
he would at least attempt to reply to some
Of the statements made By Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Hale called attention to tie fact
that President Mckinley was carefully
investigating this subject. He was not
unmindful OF the conditions in that island
After searching for the right man, he had
found him in person well known to many
Senators, and that man had alrea dy started
for Cuba to gather the Truth, and the whole
truth. He did not go there, Mr.. Hale
said, to look into one case. The Senator
said he knew what he was sa wing when he
asserted that Mr.. Caihoun's mission was
to get at the bottom of the whole thing
Mt. Hale then reviewed the history OF the
various resolutions that have been intro
duced and reported, and showed how far
they had gone and how and why they had
failed The Mckinley administration Mr.
Hale said, was dealing with this matter
much after the same form as had Mr.. Cleve-
land, and when he had ascertained the facts
would act as his information and his judg-
ment suggested. Mr.. Mckinley was shirk-
ing no responsibility, and at the same time
he was not heedlessly see king a war ne
tween tie United States and Spain. SUCH
war appeared to be the desire OF the Senator
from Alabama.
The Senator from Maine criticised MI
Morgan severely for attempting to put
through, under whip and spur. resolution
which sought to establish a policy for an
admin str alton of which ne was not party;
TO which he is, ON the contrary, antagO-
nistic. Further along In the discussion Mr.
ale said that Mr.. Morgan, always frank
and outspOken man, had in the course of
the debate exposed the animus that had ac-
tuated him in offering his resolution.
lie had said that he desired, through the
passage Of this resolution, to prevent Spain
from selling any more OF her bonds. Had
Great Britain avOwed such a policy when
size recognized the belligerency Of the
Southern people during our civil war, it
would have been sufficient reason for
the United States to declare war against
Great Britain n, and it would have done it.

A Flag That Goes by Contrnries.

II ever there was anything in the world
that went by contTaries, it is the Chinese

the gayest of national standards The body
of the banner is Of a pale yellow. In the
upper left hand corner is a small red sun,
and looking at it is a fierce Chinese dra yOn.
About / ZOO years ago, so the story uns,
the Chinese made war upon the Japanese
They prepared for a great invasion. As
the prophesy Of victory they adpoted

They took the sun of japan and made it

the Chinese fleet, conveying an army OF
100000 men, was wrecked on its way to

THE BELL TELEPHONE WINS
Berliner Patents Sustained by
the Supreme Court.
VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
LOng-P ending Suit to Annui Trans
of the American Bell Telephone
Company Opinion by Mr.. Justice
Brewer.

The Bell Telephone Company have won
their important and long pending suit
in the United States Supreme Court. The
Berliner patent for telephone etransmitter,
which now controls the telephone busi-
ness and is owned by the American Bell
Telephone Company, was broadly sustained
in the Supreme Court today, Justi CO
Brew announcing the opinion.
BerIiner filed his apple alton in the
Patent office in 1877, after which the
Bell Telephone Company obtained posses
sion Of its claim, and the patent was not
issued until 1891 The original Bell patent
expired in 1898. and the issue of the Ber-
liner patent practically extended the mo-
nopoly of the Bell Company until 1908. A
suit was begun by the Attorney General
OF the United States in 1892 in the circuit
court at Boston 10 cancel the patent and
decree was made for the Government in
that court on appeal by the company, the
court OF appeals for the fist circuit re-
versed the circuit court and sustain ed the
patent Thence the Government brought
the case ON Certiorar to the Supreme Court.
The justice stated that the Government
grounds that the delay Of thirteen years
in the Issue of the patent was under the con-
ditions, unlawful and fraudulent, that the
claim for patent was covered by patent
previously issued to Berliner in 1880, that
the patent issued was not for the invention
described in the application and that the
Invention for which patent was issued,
was barred by previous nse for more than
twenty years. In a suit OF this kind. like
a suit to cancel n land patent, the Govern
ment must establish its grounds by clear
and satisfactory evidence. Upon the record
submitted the court held
First That there was no evidence
that there was any corruption or undue
Influence used by the Patent Office off
cials or employees to hinder the clnsidera-
ton of the Berliner application, or the
issue of the patent thereon.
Second That there is no testimony to
show that the delay complained of was at
the instance OF the telephone company or
any OF its officials
Third That whatever delay did occur
was caused by the officials Of the Patent
office, and the officers Of the telephone
company were in no wise responsible for 1t.
The other grounds set up by the Gov
eruIuent, Justice BTe wer said, were equally
open to any person aggrieved by the issue
OF the patent and were not sufficient TO
justify the court in cancelling it. The
Judgment Of the court OF appeals was
therefore affirmed.
Justice Gray and Brown took no parti in
the decision, and Justice Harlan diSsented-

YAGRANCY BONDS A FARCE
Judge kimbalI Thinks the Law
Ought to Be Changed.
For Trifling Con onsideratiOn Lewd
Women Can Obtain BOndsmen and
Escape the WorkhOuse.

Detective Sutton and Policeman Judge
made raid this morning OIL the tiisrep-
utable house OF Sadie Bro wn, No. 1917
street northwest, and captured the pro-
prietress and three other women--M Maggie
Elmore, Julia Newman and Desdemon a
Jennings. The raid was brought about by
the complaint of John Heller, one-Iegged d
man, who claimed that the inmates stole
$40 from his pockets while he was asleep
OH lounge last evening.
The three inmates were arraigned in
Judge Kimball's police court later in the
day charged with yagrancy.
John Heller told of losing $40 in the
house. When the court asked himifhe knew
the character or the women, whether they
were immoral or moral, Heller replied:
Il don't know what the word moral
means. -"
Il don't believe you do" quickly replied
Judge KimbaIl. Nor do you know anything
about morality
Desdemona Jennings admitted that she
was married and her husband is in this
city
Yes said Detective Sutton, "and he
knows and approves of The life she is lead
ing This woman supports him and her
child from the money she receives in SaIie
Browns house.
In holding the prisoners in $500 bonds,
or three months each in the workh housc,
Judge kinihall took occasion to say that
the bond system in vagrancy cases Of this
class had become a farce
For 80 BILL he added, ''men can
be found who will give bail for these
females and they go back at once to their
evil lives. l intend TO stop this practice
if | have to ask Congress 10 pass an act
which will accomplish that purpose"
TEeWum went back Saucjlyto thecaEes
while their attorney hustled about to find
hOndSmcn for them.
Sadie Brown demanded a jury trial and
her case was continued
