him for a coward.
"You have stolen her from me-" he
shrieked. THE woman adored; the
woman who was mine long ere you de-
clared your passion. See, here are
tokens-given but of late"
He drew from his breast broken
fan and long band of corn-colored
hair, which glistened in the wan light
as shore glistens newly uncovered
by an ebbing tide.
"These and thousand other toys
she gave me. / was all in all to her.
She had no desire / might not COM
pass"
81 care not" whispered, so shrilly
that he heard me above the murmur-
ing of the water. 81 am all content
with the present. She loves me now"
The moon yelled herself again. and
methought the DEVILS wings tapped,
and that he prepared to fly over. In
stead he made foul noise that broke
abruptly in the middle-like the crow
ing of cock checked by well-cast
stone.
"There is a mothers mark below her
shoulder, the sign of mulberry the
dame longed for"
"'Tis not unknown to me-" 1 re-
piled. "At the assembly ball the arm
strap broke"
He laughed mirthlessly. 1.-TWO years
ago she retired to hiding place in the
Yorkshire Fells, giving out to her ia
ther that she was visiting her aunt,
Lady Marshweir!"
"Liar!"I Kissed.
Another word l come across the
stream and kill you," 1 said.
The word came-the Scriptural
word for her who is light of love.
Regardless of aught save vengeance,
l sprang into the swollen waters. :.
How long l struggled know not,
but in that space the light of the moon
faded, and the sun shot scarlet beam
across the moor. And all the deviltry
| of Jervase's aspect went away, and
he grew wan and shrunken, for he
knew that death was near.
l reached the bank and strove to
climb. He stopped and lifted q great
stone and flung it upon me, but his
eyes were blinded, and it fell far apart.
Then, as he stopped again, leaped
up in the water and caught his feet
and drew him toward me. Even yet
can hear his thews cracking, his
hoarse appeals for mercy.
In the river-he knew not how to
swim-I held up his head.
Vast lies you spoke-lies or
truth?" l asked.
Twas lies, all lies" he stammered.
'For the love of Cod
L pressed his face beneath the sur
face. When l brought it up again the
neck was growing limp.
"The fan and the hair?"
"The fan l stole-the hair-I know
not-long ago." he whispered. SIRE
l went to The Hague--she was but ten
years old then. For Gods"
There was an alder torn from an up
land pasture coming down the river.
1t danced above the current like boat
in full sail. 1t caught him in it's
branches and bore him away. l rose
to the bank and sat watching his arms
amongst the LEAKAGE and listening to
the cries until the thing passed out of
sight.
So thus, kinsman Hercules, you have
| the knowledge of Jervase's fate. Twas
specialized that in his disappointment
he had journeycd again to foreign
lands-that perchance the ship he
took had met with some mishap. Ay,
drowned he was, but in flood that
came from the uplands!-Abridged

FAME. no. 6. EXPLAINs-

A morning paper stated to-day that
Fame Fire Company, No. 6, wanted the
position occupied by the Washington
Company, so turned its hose on the lat
ter company at the fire at Fourth and
King stretes early on Monday morn
ing. Fame men most emphatically
deny the accusation. They say that
they did not see the Washington men
when they directed their stream in that
direction, and that it was purely acci-
dental. They also state that the rea-
son they were so slow in getting their
engine to the fire was that they had a
sick horse. After they arrived at the
scene Of action with their hose carriage
they had to use the same horses to
bring their engine there, Ben, one of
the engine horses being unfit for SER
vice on account of sickness.

AN IMpnRTANT MORN.

A question has been raised regard
ing the compensation Of the three law
yers selected by the General Assembly
to revise The state laws and make them
conform with the new Constitution. We
think that II is safe to leave this mat
ter entirely to the discretion OF the
General Assembly.
The work is highly important in
character, and If It is well done the
state can afford TO pay literally for it's
execution Professional mon cannot
be expected to give their time and tall
ents at day-laborors' rates. The one
great desideratum is TO have the laws
properly revised. and after 1t is done
the state can afford to pay llberally for
its performance.

American locomotives are meeting
with great favor in the Old World,
and particularly in the far East. This
is high compliment to American
skill in mechanics. During the last
year there has been a marked increase
I'm the building of American locomo-
tiyes for export. and at the present
time several OF the large manufactur-
ing plants are engaged on orders re-
Gently received from foreign coun-
tries The Baldwin Locomotive Works
have an order for ffty-six engines; the
Rogers Company, whose works are at
Paterson, n. j.. just shipped eight en-
gines TO China. and has recently re-
ceived an order for fifteen more to 90
TO Japan. and the Dickson Locomotive
Works have in hand several orders. A
leading trade journal states that the
exports Of locomotives in 1897 were
three times as great as they We're eight
years ago. and probably twice as great
as in any previous year. There are
indications that the demand in 1895
will be still greater. all Of which means
more dollars in the pockets Of the
American workingmen.

and contained the warning motto,
Don't Tread on Me" Several articles
which belonged to Franklin were ex-
hibited near the platform, such as an
inkstand, pair of silver candlesticks,
etc. The main feature was an essay on
Franklin by Miss Agnes Rippller, ana

Suicidal mania is sometimes accom-
panied by profound politeness. For
instance Louisiana man, before TAX
ing his life sent out invitations to his
friends to attend the funeral. That
man must have apologized to himself
for the violent and discourteous act he
was about to perform.
