eased me to have done her this little
benefit, and I think it eased the men
too. At all events, every hat was off
when I passed them again on my way
back to the Knollys gateway.
I had left both the girls there, but
found only one awaiting me. Lucetta
had gone in, and so had Hannah. Why
I was soon to know.
"What do you suppose that detective
wants of Lucetta now?" asked Loreen
as I took my station again at her side.
"While you were talking over there to
Mother Jane he stepped over here, and
with a word or two induced Lucetta to
walk away toward the house See, there
they are in those thick shrubs near the
right wing. He seems to be pleading
with her. Do you think I ought to join
them and find out what he is urging
upon her 80 earnestly? l don't like to
seem intrusive, but Lucetta is easily
agitated, you know, and his business
cannot be an Indifferent one after all be

"No," agreed, land yet I think
Lucetta will be strong enough to sus-
tain the conversation, Judging from the
very erect attitude she is holding now,
Perhaps he thinks she can tell him
where to dig. They seem little at sea
over there, and living, as you do, few
rods from Mother Jane, he may imagine
that from some sign or other she can
direct him where to first plant the
spade.
cts an insult" cried Loreen. "All
these talks and visits are insults. To be
sure, this detective has some excuse,
butt
"Watchl' I interrupted. "Lucetta
is shaking her head and looking very
positive. She will prove to him it is an
insult. We need not interfere, think. "
But Loreen had grown pensive and
did not heed my suggestion. A look
that was almost wistful had supplanted
the expression of indignant revolt with
which she had addressed me, and when
next moment the two we had been
watching turned and came slowly to-
ward US it was with decided energy for
her she bounded forward and Joined
them.
"What is this?" she asked. what
does Mr.. Gryce want, Lucetta?"
Mr.. Gryce himself spoke.

"I want her." said he, "to give me

he explained, with careful considera-
tion for me and my relations to these
girls, which was one of the good points
with which he offset some which were
of an exasperating nature to me, u
saw something IN her attitude, being,
as you may surmise, something OF q
keen observer, which convinced me that
as a dweller in this lane Miss Knollys
was not without her suspicious as to
the secret cause Of the dread mysteries
which have been sent here to clear up.
Today have frankly asked her, and
she-she will not tell me, Miss Loreen
Yet her face shows even at this moment
that my old eyes were not at fault In
my reading of her. She does suspect
somebody, and it is not Mother Jane. "
"How can you say that?' began Lu-
cetta, but the eyes which Loreen that
moment turned upon her seemed to
trouble her, for she did not attempt to
say any more-only looked equally OBJ
stinate and distressed.
eff Lucetta suspects any one, Loreen
now remarked steadily, "then think
she ought to tell you just who and
why"
"You do. Then perhaps you"-com-
menced Mr.. Gryce- persuade her
as to her duty" he finished as he saw
her head rise in protest Of what he EVIL
IDENTIFY had intended to demand.
"Lucetta will not yield to persua-
sion," was her quiet reply. Nothing
short of conviction will move the sweet
est natured but the most determined Of
all my mothers children. What she
thinks is right, she will do. l will not
attempt to influence her.
Mr.. Gryce, with one comprehensive
survey of the two, hesitated no longer.
I saw the rising of the blood into his
forehead, which always precedes the
beginning of one of his great moves,
and filled with sudden excitement, l
awaited his next words as tyro awaits

Some Pretty Plain and Correct Talk About
the Arch Enemy of Honest Publishers.
Greenville News.
Several newspapers of this state ex-
press their opinions of the American
Newspaper Directory in strongly un-
complimentary terms. They are right.
We are glad to observe that nearly all
the South Carolina newspapers ignore
the directory. We judge so by the
fact that so many of them are classed
in it 81. k. l.," which the key informs
US means that their circulations are
ESTIMATED at less than 1,000." The
Greenville Semi Weekly News, which
has in the last four or five years ranged
from 2,7OO to $500 paying subscribers,
is reported that way. We have never
taken the trouble to ask correction,
because we do not suppose any adver-
tiser is green enough to pay any at
tention to the estimates of this direc-
tory. Furthermore, the local business
men who best know the value of the
Greenville News as an advertising
medium, keep our advertising columns
satisfactorily filled and we have no
time to waste considering the starva.

cies or the proposition to "run enclosed
ad. 6 inches top of column next to

you due bills which, when accompanied
by Sc in cash will be accepted in pay
ment for one duplex hand organ

There is no more merciless or grasp
Ii ing dealer on earth than the average
advertising agent, and there is no more
shameless blackmailing scheme than
that which is worked by the average
newspaper directory. We are glad
this newspaper has no favors to ask OF
either, and the South Carolina news
paper as rule, seem to be in the same
happy condition. Very few of them
have advertisements in this American
directory. Perhaps this is the reason
why very few of them are quoted above

How A Town Is POPULATED
Every town has liar or two; a smart
Aleck some pretty girls; more loafers
than it needs a woman or two that
tattles; an old fogy that the town
would be better off without men who
stand on the street corners and make
remarks about the women ; a man who
laughs an idiotic laugh every time he
says anything scores of men with the
caboose of their trousers worn smooth
as glass; men who can tell you about
how the war question should be settled,
the weather, and how to run other
peoples business, but who have made
dismal failure of their own.

Itwas pitiable. could not doubt her
anguish or her sincerity. The delirium
of broken heart cannot be simulated.
And this heart was not controlled by
reason; that was equally apparent to
any one who could see. Immediately
my heart, which goes out slowly, but
none the less truly on that account, was
touched by something more than the
surface sympathy of the moment. She
may have stolen, she may have done
worse, she may even have been at the
bottom of the horrible crimes which
have given its name to the lane we
were in, but her acts, if acts they were,
were the result of clouded mind fixed
forever upon the fancied needs Of an
other and not the expression of personal
turpitude or even of personal longing
or avarice Therefore could pity her,
and I did.
Making another appeal, pressed the
coin hard into one of her hands till the
contact effected what my words had
been unable to do, and she finally look
ed down al d saw what she was clutch

few minutes of slowly growing compre-
hension became so quiet and absorbed
that she forgot to look at the men and
even forgot HE, who was probably moth

did it come from, the good, good gold,

to make her look fine, my Lizzie, my

too overpowering for her even to re-
member that it must be hidden away.

SENSIBLE ARRANGEMENT.-What
Sir Daniel Lysons believes to have been
the first case of settlement OF an
"affair of honor" on the Duke of Wei.
lington's plan is described by him in
his "Early "reminiscences" 1t occur

present century.
One day Captain Evans came to me
boiling over with wrath and indigna-
sion. He said he had been grossly in
suited by Captain Harvey, the govern
or's son, and begged me to act as his
friend. agreed, provided he promised
to do exactly as I told him. He con-
sented.

Captain Bourke, and we agreed to
abide by the Duke of Wellington's Or
der about duelling, which bad just
then been promulgated at Halifax.
We carried out our intention as fol-
lows: We made each of our princl-
pals write out his own version of what
had occurred. We then chose an um.
pire. We selected Colonel Horn, OF
the Twentieth regiment, clear-headed
and much-respected officer. With his
approval we sent him the two state
ments, and he directed US to come to
his house the following morning with
our principals.
At the appointed time we arrived,
and were shown into the diningroom.
We bowed formally to each other
across the table, and awaited the ap-
pearance of our referee. Colonel Horn
soon entered, and addressing our prin-
cipals, said:
"Gentlemen, in the first place, 1
must thank you for having made my
duty 50 light. Nothing could be more
open, generous or gentlemanlike than
YOUR statements. The best advice l
can give you is that you shake hands
and forget that the occurrence has ever
happened"
They at once walked up to each 9TH
er and shook hands cordially. They
were the best of friends ever after.

WAR RESOLUTIONS.
The Senate and House Talked War
Yesterday at Their Sessions.

Resolutions based on the Court
of Inquiry report and on the peo-
PIES demand that the war in Cuba
stop, followed one after another
rapidly in the Senate and House
yesterday.
Senator Allen pop )of Nebraska,
led off with a resolution recognizing
the independence of the Cubans
and appropriating $500, 900 to feed
the reconcentradoes Afterwards,
Senator Rawlins Dem. of Utah,
followed with resolutions recogniz-
ing the independence of Cuba and
declaring war on Spain.
After Rawlins came Foraker
(Rep.) of Ohio, whose resolution
recognized the independence Of
Cuba and directed the president to
drive the Spaniards from the is
land.
Then Frye (Rep) of Maine, Of
tered a resolution directing the
president to intervene and drive
the Spaniards out of Cuba.
Senator Mcmillan offered an ad-
ministration resolution authorizing
the president to "take steps ito Sc
cure the independence of the is
land"
All these resolutions were refer
red to the Committee on Foreign
relations
In the House Mr.. Marsh of the
Fifteenth Illinois District offered a
resolution declaring war on Spain.
Messrs. Bell, of Colorado. Ridgly,
of Kansas, Mercer, of Nebraska
and Hartman of Montana, offered
resolutions similar to that offered
by Senator Allen.
Senator Rawlins resolution which
covers all the ground of our pres
ent attitude toward Spain, is one OF
the strongest yet introduced in the
house and if we must 90 to war
with Spain it covers fully ,the
ground of our complaint and we
hope it will be the one if declara-
tion Of war is declared.

THE WAR QUESTION.
The President Trying to Settle
It without a Recourse
to Arms.
THE OUTLOOK IS CRITICAL.
The Republicans Want War, and
Have Cut off from MeKinleys
Plan OF Settlement
THE OUTLOOK is CRITICAL.

The vital point in the Cuban situ.
alton, viz, independence, has shift
ed itself from Washington TO Mad
rid, where the Spanish government
is now giving grave and earnest
consideration to propositions pre-.
sented by the government Of the
United States. 1t is believed that
it is now but a question of an ex-
ceedingly short time before the in
evitable crisis must come. The
Spanish ministry will hold a cabinet
council tomorrow alter the PROPOSE.
tions have been submitted to the
queen regent and as result of that
conference it is expected by the ad-
ministration that a definite answer
to its proposals will be received.
The propositions submitted by
this country contemplate a COM
plete and immediate cessation of
hostilities in Cuba, the return of
the reconcentrados to their usual
avocations and. the independence of
Cuba, this last feature to be secur-
ed probably on an indemnity basis
by which the island would pay
substantial sum for its freedom
from Spanish rule.
The United States Senate has al
ready introduced measures for war
with Spain, and the committee has
the resolution to report on. Con
gress which is by odds Republican,
has been held back by party leaders
who are under control of Reed aud
Mckinley, until yesterday when
some ringing resolutions were intro
duced in the house and when read,
met with tumultuOus applause, The
resolutions looking to war, we're also
referred 20 the proper committee.
While this is transpirlng Mckinley
is using the cables between this
country and Madrid in trying to
bring Spain to terms, without re-
sorting to arms. We are told that
Spain in now forming a second tor
pedo squadron to sail from Cadiz to
Havana, and will not listen to the
abandonment of Cuba.
The United States in this regard
is not asleep, but is buying war
ships, arranging defenses for all
coast and seaport towns, and or
ganizing its land forces, and if the
worst comes to the worst our coun-
try will be in shape to do some fight
ing.
