Only one hearts love to give for you.
Will you reign in that heart, my sweet?

Word that is! Couldn't you guess?

do you remember that your name Is

He spoke the words rapidly, but with
emphasis; Jules stared at him mo-

head to foot.

he, in a voice of anguish.

fevered forehead.
"You are safe, it shall be we'll with

He caught the hand in his, and the
tears gushed over it.

royalists of an imperial line! what can

Jules smiled feebly, closed his ayes,
and sank off into slumber.

Her eyes filled with tears.

down with the sob that caught his
voice; "the angel above knows how

"She leads that man a regular dogs

verdict, audibly expressed and audibly

the street car in company. She was an
exaggerated specimen Of the new wom-

orable discipline They were quite
alone, and while he faithfully, as be-
came a loyal servitor attended to the
conveniences of his queenly companion,
his services received no other recogni-
ton than an occasional impatient COM
mand, expressed or implied. A few
days after the same couple boarded the
car at the same point and left it as
before. This time the woman had an
object for her affectionate regard and
her solicitous concern. 1t was a pet
dog, jacketed, beribboned, petted and
even publicly kissed while fondly gath

fectionate mistress. But the husband,

Emile from within heard his bitter
denunciations Of the fate which thwart.

in the search until success rewardea
him, and smiled in calm defiance.
But M. Pierre was not so insignifi.
cant foe as Emile believed. AS the
days wore on and the same vigilant

that it would need his utmost shrewd-

cape from the tree.

Labors of the Fifty-Fourth Congress Arc
Concluded.

Concluded.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Senate
of the Fifty-ffth Congress met yester-
day in extra session, with Vice Presi-
dent Hobart presiding, in pursuance to
call of the retiring President Tho
closing of the old as we'll as the oper-
ing of The new were merged into the
brilliant spectacle marking the advent
of the Inauguration ceremony, so that
formal proceedings were confined
largely to the valedictory of the re-
firing Vice President, Mr. Stevenson,
the opening address of the new Vice
President, Mr.. Hobart and the swear.
ing into Office of the new Senators.
The early hours of thu day were given
to the final steps of Important leg!sla
ton, the remaining appropriation bills
One, the general deficiency, failed in
conference, and three, the agricul
tural, sundry civil and Indian, failed
of executive approval.
Promptly at II o'clock Mr. Steven
son declared the Senate of the Fifty.
fourth Congress adjourned without
day and the work of the new Senate
was at once taken up.
The senators then withdrew to the
east front of the capitol to participate
in the inaugural ceremonies. On re-
turning to the chamber resolution
was adopted for daily sessions at II
o'clock, and the Senate then adjourned.
The house was still in the legislative
day Of Tuesday when it adjourned
without day. The closing hours were
uneventful. The statesmen had work.
ed all night to get the sundry civil,
Indian and agricultural bills to the
President, only to have them pocket
vetoed, while the general deficiency
bill failed of passage because the house
refused to subscribe to the halt million
of Bowman claims which the senate
insisted upon. The only feature of
the closing throb of life was the en-
thusiastic reception accorded Speaker
Reed and the unanimous vote OF
thanks rendered him.

Paris received instant protection and

he stood bravely in defence, never for

Of deserving them, to secure himself

Once, intense WEAKNESS overpowered
him, and leaning against the natural
wall of his secret apartment, he fell
sound asleep.
Sharp voices without aroused him
suddenly. He started up, alert and not
in the least bewildered, and put his ear
to the tiny aperture in the trunk of the
huge tree.
