Sutherland, after noting the number of
the house in passing, pulled up his
hanson at the corner of the next
street and walked quietly back again.
BY this time both Caussidlere and his
hanson had disappeared. but suther-
land recognized the place. He walked
up and down on the opposite side of
the way. examining the house. staring
at 1t as II he would fain penetrate
tnose dark walls and see the fair face
which he suspected to be within.
Then he calmly walked over knocked
at the door and inquired for Madame
Caussidiere."
The servant admitted him. and he
was at once shown upstairs. In one
thing Sutherland was fortunate-Caus-
sidiere was not at home.
He had entered the house only for
moment to give his hurried instruc-
tions to Marjorie.
Pack up your things at once" he
had said: prepare yourself by the hour
OF my return. We leave for Paris to-
night"
Then he had hastened down again,
entered the hanson. and driven away.
Just an hour later the hanson con-
tanning Caussidiere stopped again be-
fore the house. This time the man re-
ceived his fare, and the cab drove
away empty. while Caussidiere entered
the house and went up to his rooms.
He found Marjorie In tears. and John
Sutherland by her ride.
At sight Of the latter he started. look
ing the reverse of pleased: the presence
of the young painter. by no means de-
sirable at any time. was at that mo-
ment particularly embarrassing. But
Caussidiere was not easily abashed:
his presence of mind only deserted him
for a moment: then he came forward
with a sinister smile.

ing Marjorie in your presence. I see
her with a sorrowful face. and with

He came forward as he spoke. and
held forth his hand, but Sutherland did
not take 1t. He rose from his seat. and
stood awkwardly looking at the two.
Marjorie rushed forward and took
her husbands arm.

Caussidiere smiled down upon her

full how self-possessed he felt now he
knew that no one could step between
him md his prize.

JAMES n. KYLE.

His election was secured by the
votes of - republicans, 10 populists
and , democrats. q total OF 50 votes
and n majority.
This result was obtained after a
deadlock of continuous balloting
of twenty seven days. It's reported
grand coupe by republicans, who,
although in the minority, have elect
a man who is bitterly opposed by
Senator Pettigrew and Governor Lee
the present bosses of the pop party
in South Dakota. The silver fellows
tore their hair and gnashed their
teeth in q frenzied effort to change
the votes, but all to no purpose.
Senator Kyle goes back for six
years, despite the unscrupulous ef-
forts of Pettigrew and his crowd of
renegades. Both republicans and
honest populists should be pleased
over the result, because Senator Kyle
is a cleaner and less tricky man than
Pettigrew, and whatever he does do
will be honestly done.
The Pettigrew and Lee strikers had
an Indignation meeting after kyle's
election, and have ordered all pops
TO damn him.
Judge Palmer, the gold bug popu-
list leader III the senate, and Petit
crews man Friday, madea speech in
the Joint session saying the populists
were "inc6mpetents,' - that they did
not know anything, etc, and cast
his vote for Senator Greeley, a re-
publican.
And so ends one OF the most pecu-
liar senatorial contests known to
modern politics.

The community can make up, to
some extent, that which is lacking i'll
the home. Association is a power.
If it has for it's object, the uplifting
of individuals, then the power is
rightly applied. The Puritans recog-
nized this, for, scarcely had they set
tied themselves in their new homes,
till they began to devise means for
the Improvement OF their association
which found expression in the estab-
lishment of Harvard University.
Grammar schools and common
schools were also established and
thus was founded the American sys-
tenn of public schools which has con-
tinued to grow in proficiency until
the present time. This proficiency,
however, is generally commensurate
to the demands of the community.
1t is healthful sign to find people
reaching up after something better.
We demand OF the teacher an exam
pie in life that is worthy of imitation
and work that needs no revision.
Su:h a community will also hold it's
boys and girls nearer to that
straight path that leads ever onward
and upward. Bright is the prospect
of a pupil who is SO fortunately situ-
ated. Ii we would thoroughly ap-
preciate his position, let us change
the scene and place him among as
sociation whose tendency is ever
downward. True, he may have 9th
err influences that may hold him up
and thus elevate his companions.
What noble exception to the rule
would that there were more OF them.

Gov. Lee very much desires the
passage of license law that will put
some cash in the state treasury, and
the governors prohibition support
ers are not greatly pleased thereat.
We live to learn-or if not it Is our
own fault. A bill to make it mis-
demeanor for legislators to accept
passes was reported unfavorably by

legislature.
A bill passed the House the other
day abolishing the Office OF Engineer
of irrigation. This is the office now
held by J. H. Baldwin, and to which
l.. d. Sweetland aspires. A similar
bill has been introduced in the Sen
ate, and will likely pass.
The new railroad law reduces pas
senger rates from four to three cents

cents for some time. Round trip
tickets have sold for 81 cents, while
now the roads will Just sell them at
straight 3 cents each way, making
the round trip cost g cents. This
law will not benefit the farmers or
business men on freight rates-eX-
cept few wholesalers. The law is u
humbug, meant to deceive. Even II.

been fooled.
