ernment has decided to ship about 10.-
900 900 ounces of the white metal to the
mint at San Francisco.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip has re-
turned from a visit to Chicago and the
West in connection with the shipment of
this silver. Heretofore the Government
has shipped silver and gold across the
country by express, but in the present in
stance the weight of the metal to be
transported is such that 1t will be very
expensive to pay express charges for its
shipment. Mr.. Vanderlip has not yet de-
cided how the metal viii be sent, but he
thinks that it can be sent just as safely
by freight.

Wilmington, Del, Sept. 29.-The Demo-

out whether the ticket which has been
named in the several counties for men,
bers of the general assembly is a Gray or
a salisbury ticket.
The Gray men claim everything in sight.
while the Salisbury men content them

he said; "the train will not start for
twenty minutes"
They went into the refreshments
room, where he ordered soup anu
wine. He was solicitous for her COM
fort, he was attentive to her wants,
but she noticed that he spoke to her
only when civility dictated that he
should speak, and that when he did
address her he never looked at her.
He took his seat by her side in the
railway carriage. They travelled
through the fresh dewy night, the
pleasant air coming in at the open
windows. He had carefully provided
her with books and newspapers-the
railway literature.
1T is quite evident" she thought,
THAT he intends me to read-he has
no desire to talk to me-"
She was obliged continually to re-
mind herself that he had asked her to
be his wife. He must have cared for
her or he would not have married her.
He was not a demonstrative man, per-
haps. Then she turned slowly from
the sky to the handsome, high-bred
face near her. He was reading intent
ly, never looking up from his book.
1t was not the face of a coldhearted
cynic-far from it. Then her eyes
wandered slowly away again.
The lovely dawn was flushing in the
skies, the birds were singing, the air
seemed to stir with new life-it was
the dawn of another day. How often
would the sun rise and set before she
would understand this strange silence
of the husband by her side-how many
weary dawns would there be?

ing sunlight. They drove straight to
the hotel; and then, for the first time,
it seemed to her, he spoke Kindly. He
said:

Half an hour afterward she stood
alone in her room. She looked at her.
self in the tall mirror. 1t was a pale
face with wistful, Swallowed eyes that
she saw therein. She was fatigued ir
body and in mind, yet she could not
sleep. If she only understood, if she
only knew the meaning of this silent
love of her husbands that had never
yet been expressed in words.

never interfered in the least with any
of her affairs. He sent up her letters
unopened, and never even inquired
from whom they came. He sent every
morning to ask if she had any par
ticular wish for the day-if there was
any place she desired to see. At first
she said YES" and went to the diff
ferent places of note. He accompa-
MED her, but she could not avoid
thinking that he was slightly bored
by these excursions. The next time he
sent she declined, and he did not re-
monstrate; he made no remark, and
she felt almost sure that he was re-
lieved by her refusal. When they went
to the opera, they were never alone
he always secured some companion.
It seemed to Hildred that he was quite
as much a stranger as on the first day
he entered the Hollies.
"Shall 1 ever be part of his life?"
she thought. "Shall grow to be heart
of his heart, soul of his soul? Shall I
ever know what he thinks, what he
likes, what he loves?" ..... ..1s
She had indeed no part of his ex-
istence-he lived as though she were
not He had fulfilled his part of the
contract by giving her his namo, his
rank. his position. That a living,
beating human heart might long for
more than that did not occur to him.
He never thought of her as his wife;
the chances were that, if any one had
asked him suddenly if he was mar
ried, he would have said mo" He
had paid the forfeit of his folly by
being in some measure compelled to
burden himself with this young girl.
One evening he was rather startled
by Hildred. There was favorite
singer at the opera, and they went to
hear her. She was very fair, and the
gentlemen were busily engaged in dis
cussing her. With Lord and Lady
Caraven was Frenchman, the Comte
de Quesne, a great admirer of fair
women. The conversation, kept up
chiefly between the two gentlemen,
was about the charming actress.
'iShe is of the real English type"
said the comte, and the English Ia
dies are so fair-they are adorable!'
Il think myself" remarked the
earl, "that a fair-haired English girl
is certainly the loveliest object in Gre
alton"
The comte laughed.
"You prefer the blondes to the bru-
nettes. them" he said.
Certainly" replied Lord Caraven

CLIMATE OF ICELAND.
Not So Forbiddlng as 1t Would Seem
Ito be continued.)

Not So Forbiddlng as 1t Would Seem
to BE.
Iceland is not by any means so for
bidding a country as its name implies;
1t is no more land of ice than Green
land is a land of verdure, says an ex-
change. 1t is not nearly so cold as
many places in the United States, not
to mention the Canadian dominion.
The so and 60 degrees below zero reg
istered every winter in the Northwest
territory and Assiniboia, and even the
80 and 40 below experienced in Mon
tana and North Dakota, are unheard
OF in Iceland. Neither is the other Gle
IRENE of great heat felt, such as these
very regions in North America en-
dure. No Icelander knows what
temperature of 100 in the shade is.
There are no sudden fluctuations or
great changes; the climate is remark
ably euuable. A variation of 80 de-
grees in month is probably not on
record in the island. The equableness
is due, of course, to the same cause
that produces similar effect in the
British isles-the gulf stream. This
great ocean current washes the south
ern and western shores of Iceland, in
surfing mild winter and balmy sum-
mer. There are glaciers, but they
form no icebergs. The sea around the
island is never frozen, nor, indeed, is
any floating ice seen save on rare oc-
casions OF the northern coast. Now
and then in summer prolonged storms
will carry floating ice across from the
Greenland coast and drive it upon the
northern shore of Iceland, together
with cold fog and rain. In this wlIy
polar bears are also sometimes landed
on the island. On the other hand, the
winters are so mild that thunder
storms often occur. In fact, most Of
the thunder storms in Iceland are in
| the winter months.

Spanish face. He would not nave

gotten her presence. She heard ohe
words. At the time she made no re-
mark, although they burned into her
heart like fire.
The comte went home with them,
and they were joined by another
friend; but she found an opportunity
of speaking to her husband when the
other gentlemen were busy with ecarte,
and Lord Caraven had withdrawn 10
look over some letters that had Just
arrived. She summoned UP courage
and went up to him.
Lord Caraven," she said, would
you mind telling me one thing?"
He looked up in wonder-it was so
seldom that she voluntarily addressed
him. AS he looked he was slightly
impressed with her appearance; the
tall, slender figure was draped in soft,
shining silk, the girlish face was
flushed with the effort of speaking to
him, the dark eyes were bright and
starlike, filled with unutterable
thoughts. He could not help owning
to himself that there was some beauty
in the thick coils of dark hair, in the
tall, slim, graceful figure, in the per-
feet grace and harmony. She was sim
ply yet beautifully dressed; a pome-
granite blossom lay in the coils of her
hair.
Il want you to tell me one thing"
she repeated. IF you admire fair girls
with golden hair, why did you marry
me, with hair and eyes SO dark"
She asked the question in such per-
feet good faith, in such earnest tones,
with such sad, sweet eyes, that he was
touched, not deeply but as he would
have been had some child come to him
with trembling lips to tell a pitiful
tale.
Why" she pursued, ''if that was the
case, did you marry me?"
You know why l married you," he
replied, gravely-"why ask me the
question:"
He saw vivid color spread over
her face. bright light shine in her
eyes. The simple girl thought and be-
lieved he meant that she knew he had
married her because he loved her. Her
heart gave a great, glad bound. He
loved her! She would understand bet

stiffness of the sea was something mar
velous and beautiful; 1t was as though
the great dark shadow of night brood
ed over the waters-a stiffness broken
only by the rushing of the water
through the paddlewheels of the
steamer. Slowly the line of lights
round the coast disappeared, and at
last land was out Of sight; there was
nothing visible but the heaving, Sill
