REPUBLICAN EEAso ING.

When it was announced that tho
warfare for free coinage Of silver at
the ratio Of 16to l was to be kept up
by an organization 1T forces with
headquarters at Washington, the gold
standard press swept clean place on
the political floor and proceeded to
throw few fits: The action Of the
bimetallists was denounce J rs an ct
fort to delay the coming o. prosperity
q silver mine owners propaganda,
agitation, promotion Of national dis
honor and such like. The gold stand
ard advocates declared that the cam
paign ended the free silver craze"
and demanded that nothing be done
to keep up political agitation. 49,.
But while the gold standard press
was occupying great deal of space
with these demands and denuncia-
tons. Marcus A. Hanna and his COM
mlttee were preparing to continue
the Republican organization with the
avowed intention of keeping up a
campaign of education during the
ensuing four years. This campaign
is now on.
The Republican country news
papers are being supplied with free
supplements extolling the virtues of
protection, pointing out the benedts
promised under the gold standard and
agreeing upon all manner of evils had
the country seen fit to declare its IL
nancial independence.
Mr.. Hanna declared that it would
be great wrong for the bimetallists
to keep up their campaign Of educa-
ton, but all right for the gold stand
ard crowd to 60 right ahead,
This is a sample Of Republican
reasoning. 1t is ON a par with that
other Republican argument, that a
man may lit himself over fence by
pulling on his own bootstraps, and
fully as comprehensive and upen-
swerable as that other. Republican
contention, that people may tx
themselves into riches and opulerce.
Since the election the gold stand
ard organs have been unit in de-
claring that the result was a death
blow to free coinage of silver and
unanimously declared that it was
wrong to wrestle with q corpse. Free
silver was not killed by defeat last
November any more than protection
was killed four years ago last Novem-
Der. The very organs that are de-
munding that free silver be rele-
gated to the rear because it was de-
feated are the ones that howled
loudest about continued campaign
Of education after the crushing de-
feat administered to Mckinley few
years ago.-Omshs World-aerald.

CHAPTER XII.
AN EVIL PLAN

AS Pierre Turrian stood, like one
spellbound, reading the slip of paper
which Beryl had put into his hand his
first struggle was to fight with the sense
of paralyzing establishment which the
girls words had produced.
! Then he ransacked every nook and
Granny OF his memory to recall what
had passed between them at the time of
their first interview, while mixed up
curiously with the whole mental effort
was recollection of his blunder, for
which he cursed himself, in installing
this calm, unimpassioned, quiet girl for
fool.
! his first sign of recovery from his
surprise was laugh, forced, short, un-
natural and sneering, but still an ad.
vance from his silence of blank dismay.
How do you say you got this, Miss
Leycester?" he asked, waving the paper
toward her and speaking with sheer
on his lip.
The question is not how got it.
| but what it MEANS" returned Beryl
coldly.
"On the contrary. it has everything
to do with it. 1t is the most extraor.
binary coincidence I have ever heard
Of"
is that your answeri" And Beryl
looked more stern than before, eyery
feature speaking her disbelief.
There is nothing to answer in such
thing as this. If You want an answer.
all l can say is that either those who
gave you this have imposed upon Won
in the most monstrous fashion in the
world, or for some purpose which I
don't pretend to know you are trying
to impose on me. That is what I mean
when 1 want to know where Won GOT

iaughed again now, as if the charge
were beneath serious notice.

surprise, and in your effort to find time

The Text Decipherable with a Glass, the

The Declaration of Independence is kept
between two great plates of glass, the edges
OF which are Theoretically sealed. At in
tervals and as special favor the custodian
pulls out drawer In a huge steel box and
shows the treasure, but most of the time
the two plates, with their sheet of parch-
ment between, rest where burglars cannot
break through, where fire cannot reach
and where daylight cannot complete the
ravages already wrought by exposure.
Visitors to the state department who want
TO see the Declaration are shown a perfect
facsimile, which hangs In handsome
frame and looks old enough to be the or
iginal. They go away none the wiser for
the substitution. The truth Is that the
Declaration was fast becoming tradition
when the extraordinary steps for its pres
ervation were taken about three years AGO
In the administration Of John Quincy
Adams copperplate of the original was
made. To get the copy for the engraver
the surface OF the parchment was moist
ened with wet cloth. A print was tax

; she caught Sir Jaffray's eye and beck
oned him to her side.
; Meanwhile Beryl sat and listened
and picked up again the broken thread
Of her thoughts, watching the two al
the piano and turning now and then to
glance at the handsome figure OF the
baronet, who sat listening 10 the chat
ter of the lively little woman at his side,
but looking at his lovely wife with his
heart in his eyes.
1t was strange position, and as
Beryl thought of il all il dazed and
confused her. and she wondered if what
she thought or rather what she believed
she knew could possibly be true, and
as often as her eyes rested on Sir Jaf-
fray, knowing his honest sterling honor
and mindful of her old unsuitable love
for him, she was filled with deep pity
for him on account of the blow which
might fall at any moment, glooming his
! life.
But her face hardened and her heart
steeled when she looked toward the
woman who had come between her and
her cousin, filling her life with the
blight of lovelessness.
One step she resolved to take, and
that at once. She would speak to the
Frenchman, and this resolve she put in
force the next day.
After breakfast on the following
morning she waited for an opportunity
of finding the Frenchman alone and
then joined him.
M. Turrian, there is a subject on
which you can help me. Can you spare
me five minutes?" she said "Will you
come to the conservatory"
II will give you five hours, Miss
Leycester, he said, with his exagger-
ated gesture. "What is it?" And the air
of surface indifference which he as
sumed did not blind Beryl to the quick,
questioning glance which he shot at her.
Beryl said nothing until they were
in the conservatory and it was certain
that no one could hear them.
II want to make sure that we are
not overheard, NJ. Turrian, she said
calmly, because what l want to ask
you is very private and very impor-
tant."
She took folded paper from her pock-
ct as she spoke, and her fingers did
not tremble in the least as she unfolded
it.
81 was in Montreux this SUMNER"
she continued, land in the course of
my stay l visited the Chapel of st. Sui
pice and examined the register there. /
found an entry which has been a most
painful puzzle to me. 1t is that of the
marriage of certain Pierre Turrian
with Lola Crawshay. Here is copy.
Can you tell me what it means?''
AS she said this Beryl looked him
steadily in the face and held out the
paper for him to read.
He took it from her and read it, hold
ing it with fingers which with all his
efforts he could not keep from trembling
violently, while his face turned to the
CHASTITY ashen color which she had seen
once before when she had told him in
their first interview that Lola was mar
ried to Sir Jaffray.
She recalled that incident as she stood
watching him steadily with eyes that
never left his face and waiting for the
answer, which he seemed absolutely un-
able to force from between his lips.
And with every moment of silence
the strain increased.
