Tor Gladys was one Of those unfortun-

pretty mouchoirs she left behind her.

lace, he pilfered the day they became

as he asked for Miss Lawson.
"'She is in the library, sir" Polly
said in her usual encouraging tones.
Phil hesitated. The library was the
private sanctum where Gladys received
only her intimate friends. Waring felt
that it would be a hard matter to end
his engagement in that room.
''I think will wait in here" he said,
going toward the drawing room. ''Oh,

ton Of meetings for all sorts and con-
ditiOns OF women, Gladys had arranged
aalittle parlor of her own. It was a
quaint apartment, so full of her fads
and fanctes that you felt you had been
taken into her confidence the moment
you entered the room. Miniature gar
dens grew in the windows, ivy climbed
! adventurously toward the ceiling. the
cut glass bowl on the odd little table
was overlooking with roses, and holly
berries, the beautiful badge of Christ

In the room had been removed to give
place to her attic treasures. The Par
thenon had the pdace Of honor over
the piano, and the gods and goddesses
were assembled on the walls in almost
as great numbers as in the days OF
old when they had gathered on Mount
Olympus.
Rhil grew uneasy as a flood of assoc
eiat1ons rolled over him, and he moved
EaRtlessly about. There on the desk
was that mummy hand paper weight
which old Van lyle had sent to Gladys
at Christmas. How jealous he had
been Of Van for the pleasure his pres
ent had given! He remembered how
cuttingly he had remarked that it was
just like Vans meanness to offer her
some other fellows hand!
On the table was the novel they had
been reading together. Phil had used
his scarf pin as bookmark, and it had
been left undisturbed.
From its place on the chandelier a
little sprig of mistletoe suddenly
dropped on Phil's hand. Christmas
eve he had stood in this same spot,
and Gladys, shy, reserved, undemon-
stratiVe Gladys, had softly stolen up
Phil shook himself impatiently, put
his hands in his pockets and turned
to look at the dying embers in the
crate. Yes, Gladys had evidently just
left the room-fed, he supposed, when
she heard his voice. Drawn up cozily
in front Of the fire was her favorite
lounging chair, in which she curled
herself comfortably like a cat.
In the depths of the chair a small
white object attracted Phil's attention.
Mechanically, from pure force Of ha-
bit, he stopped to pick it up, and
wretched little specimen of mouchoir
it was. 1t looked as if Telemachus had
wept abundantly upon it, and Niobe
added her ceaseless tears. 1t was as
damp as cobweb left out over night
in the dew.
A great light came into Pills eyes.
Gladys crying! Gladys unhappy! Rap
turous thought-she must care for him
after all! Philip drew a long breath
that sounded like sob; then, with
boyish, happy laugh, he walked toward
the door. There was a light step on

hall, and she entered. Gladys" said

Tho Florida Indians.

The Indian question, says a corre>
spondent of the New York Evening
Post, is so associated in most minds
with the west that few persons recall
the fact that we have good many red
men still in the east, living in charac-
teristic Indian fashion and their prog
ress in civilization subject to the same
drawbacks as that of their western
brethren. The most interesting of
these are the Florida Seminoles, of
whom there are between four hundred
and six hundred scattered through the
Everglades. Until within little while
no one thought of disturbing them
there, for they were living on land be-
longing to the United States and in a
district which no one else cared to oc-
cupy. Various speculative schemes
for redeeming the Everglades have
been pushed to the front of late, how
ever, and. to crown all, the United
States government has decided to make
gift of this tract to the state of Flor
ida. With the prospect that the land
occupied by the Indians might become
valuable, there arose a local demand
for their removal to some spot where
they would be out of the way of white
development of the country; and a
board of trustees appointed by the
state government to select a site for a
permanent reservation has reported to
the governor.

The ANTI-SCALPING MEETING

HOT SPEECHES.-WHOI IS PAYING THE
BILLS AND HOW ARE THE CoLoRED
PEOPLE BENEFITED?
AT a meeting called on the evening
of the 18th inst at Old Pisgah church,
located at the corner of 10th and K
streets northwest, the opponents of
the Sherman AntiScalplng bill en-
deavored to pass resolutions against
the measure, but failed in their efforts.
Mr.. Stewart Nj. Lewis, of Va, an
employe of the Agriculture Depart
ment and manager of the CokOred
american, was the first speaker, he
said, THAT the object was to urge
upon Congress the necessity of de-
feating the Sherman bill and to petit
ton Congress to strike the iniatlve
blow to corporations and monopolies,
in their effort to control Congress.
The next speaker was Attorney T.
l.. Jones, who certainly had not read
the bill, for he discussed the rights
and privileges of the negro from the
North Pole to the South pole, and not
the anti-scalping bill.
Following Lawyer Jones, was H. A
Clarke of n. Y, he delivered strong
and forcible argument in favor of the
bill on its merits, declaring that as the
railroads gave employment to so many
of our people as we'll as it was a cor
poration as some of the speakers pre-
ceeding me said, | believe that we
should indorse the corporation that
benefited the common people OF both
races.
The speaker was constantly intorro-
gated and Immediately answered the
questions satlsfactorially to the audi
ence by referring to the bill, which he
held in his hand
Mr. Joseph Williams, of Denver, Col.
the only caucausian in the meeting
The Washington bee., 1898-01-22

said, "that be was opposed to the bill
in many ways. and in order to capture
the sympathy of the audience stayed
away from his subject and said, that
the railroads were responsible for the
"Jim Crow Car" law, but instantly Mr.
Clarke interrupted him and stated to
the audience that where the Jim
Crow Car" law was in operation, the
State Legislatures had enacted, law
compelling the railroad companies
running through the state, to either
have separate coaches or separate
apartments in the coaches for white
and coloIed people.
If this law was not complied with,
they would have to pay heavy fine
for each violation. 1t is not so in
the Northern States, where the rail-
roads are not interferred with by the
law.
Mr.. w. c. Payne of Alexandra, Va,
an aspirant for consulship, was the
next speaker, and with all the words
at his command; tried to crush out of
existance, corporations and monop-
olies, that had enslaved his people,
H was rather personal and abusive
in his wild declarations, which the
audience indicated they did not ap-
prove of. No definite action was
taken.
