CHAPTER X.

There Is nothing else for 1t. am
forced into this unfortunate position!
said Evan Monteith TO himself, as he
cycled back to Stromness along the
clin-path, which was, however, safe
enough. for it was strongly protected
by a wooden barricade Even now 1t
was hardly dark and Monteith had not
lit his lamp.
Il wish the work had been commit
ted to any other but to me- he unused
rs he spun onwards.
But | must atone for the past.
Much of it has been my fault, and on
me. therefore, lies the responsibility
of undoing any evil have done. Yes.
| shall go to London and lay the facts
before the lawyers; then commit all
into their hands. But am | to go with
out seeing Day.
His face changed as the name was
uttered. little hesitatingly even to
himself The sternness and resolution
faded out. and a softelcd expression
crept over 1t.
"Will she forgive me when she
knows all?" he thought. "Ah, surely
she will? And yet, could / be salts
fed with her forgiveness alone? Is
there not more that | crave for, pure
souled darling! Surely her parents
were far-sighted when they gave her
her name, for she is like the day indeed
bringing joy and sunshine and love
wherever she goes. Surely. If bad
woman Is the worst creature on earth
a good one is Gods best gift to man."
Monteith had room at the Cow
Hotel; but he did not sleep much that
night. When he did. his sleep was
haunted by strange, awful dreams, in
which he felt himself being hurled
over some frightful precipice: and
when he looked up to the platform of
rock from which he had fallen. he saw
the mocking face of Lilith Stuart gaz-
ing down at him. and heard her scorn-
full laughter float above him on the
air
The dream haunted him strangely,
even after he had risen and break
tasted. He told himself 1t was only
the natural result of yesterdays dis
agreeable duty; but somehow he could
not shake off the uncomfortable i'm
preston 1t had left.

Eccentric Tides,

Owing to the effects of shore lines.
and other influences which are more
or less obscure. it is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts OF the
world. Interfering waves cause once
a-day tides at Tahiti. and in some
other places. while on the other hand.
in the harbors back of the Isle Of
Wight, and in the Tay in Scotland.
there are three tides In day. The
latter have recently been ascribed to
"oyertides," produced by the modifics-
tion Of tidal waves running ashore,
and resembling the "overtones" OF
musical sounds.

CANADA COMPARES.



The extraordinary trade showing OF
the United States for the past fiscal
year has attracted attention in Canada,
and our neighbors TO the northward
are beginning to ask how 1t is that
in this year of unexampled prosperity
for farm. factory and mill they failed
to enjoy their due and natural proper
tion. They have begun to institute
comparisons. and they find that ac-
cording to their opportunities they fell
far behind the people on this side OF
the line. They were equally fortunate
in having bountitul yield of agri-
cultural products and in being able to
sell their surplus at abnormally high
prices. Other things being equal, they
should have been able to surpass the
showing OF the United States, for their
percentage of agricultural exports was
greater than that of our country.
But 1t is seen that other things were
not equal and that therein is to be
found the secret of Canada's discon-
tent She had the best year in her his
tory in the matter of the quantity and
prices of her agricultural exports, and
yet her excess OF exports over imports
was only 81 per cent, while the excess
scored by the United States was 100
per cent.
What caused this disparity Manu-
features. Canada had very little TO
sell outside of her foodstuffs, and her
imports of foreign merchandise showed
no decrease as compared with former
years. The United States, on the con-
trary. increased her exports of manu-
factures alongside OF her tremendous
output OF farm products beyond all
previous records, and actually sold TO
foreign countries more of manufac-
tured commodities than she bought OF
them by about $4,000. 600. In the one
case sensible tariff system operated
to augment the demand for domestic
products and to diminish the demand
for imported articles, and left us
favorable trade balance of over S6lo,-
GOO 900. In the case OF Canada only
relatively small proportion of the sur
plus realized from increased exports
remained at home: the remainder went
abroad. as usual, to pay for imports.
1t was n question Of tariffs pure ana
simple.

A Chicago dispatch says that com
pany of German capitalists ana steer
manufacturers has bought tract OF
land from the Pullman company. just
outside of the limits Of Pullman and
is about to erect there an immense
steel plant covering about 20 acres.
This German company holds some
very valuable patents, and prior to the
enactment of the Dingley law was do
ing a good business in Germany. But
the new tariff. designed to protect the
American manufacturers and encour-
age American labor. has brought this
great German institution to the United
States. 1t will employ at the outset
500 men, and as soon as the buildings
already planned are completed 1t Is ex-
pected that the full working force will
be between 1000 and 1000 men.
Under a free trade or a low tariff
this German company could furnish
employment to German labor. ship its
products to the United States, under
sell American manufacturers and take
their employment away from American
workingmen. Under the Republican
system of protection If this German
company wishes to do any business in
the United States 1t must invest its
this country. expend hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for wages in this coun-
try. and help contribute for the de-
velopment of Its ces.-Spokane

Then .nd Not nerore.

Before we can witness shipbuilding
boom in the United States some protec-
ton or preference must be shown for
our ships in competition with foreign
ships. The American standard of wages
must be maintained on sea as we'll as
on land, and the standard of living
on American shipboard must not be re-
duced to the level of living on foreign
ships. When these differences are
made gocS by government legislation.
then we may look for utilization of our
American shipping in the foreign
trade. but not before,-New York Com

The growth of the tin plate industry
in the United States during the past
six years will form the most remark
able chapter in the history of our in
dustrial development. Attention Is
called Just now to the remarkable in
crease in our production of tin plate
by the announcement that the former
owners of the largest tin plate estab-
lishment In the world have disposed of
their works in Swansea, Wales, and
are about to build mandatory near
Pittsburg.
The tin plate feature of the tariff
act Of 1890 was the storm center of the
attack from the opponents Of that
measure. They ridiculed the tin plate
clause on the platform and in the
press.
in 1894 a number of tin plate mills
were in active operation in the Indiana
gas belt, and new plants were under
construction AT the close of the fis
cal year it was found that the total
production in the United States had
risen from 13.6iG.719 pounds in 1892
to 1876, ,223 .467 pounds. The remarkable
growth of the industry since 1892 is re-
vealed by the following statistics of
production furnished by the treasury
bureau of statistics, which give the
production in the fisca! years ending

''hs foes?" she whispered. Her voice
soundGl strangely low in her throat
it was as II something choked her.
She suddenly stood erect, and the long
sea-green gown fell in loose folds about
her sinuous figure. This is your hnai
decision?"
"1t is my final decision" said Evan
Monteith. Il shall go now, Miss Stu
art, and the day after tomorrow l leave
for London. Shall we say good-py
now?"
Good by" said Lilith Stuart. She
held out her beautiful white hand-a
hand that Evan Monteith had kissed
in the past-to him. Her eyes, which.
even in the dark. shone like a cats
were curIously luminous. "Good-by,
Evan"
Il shall not touch your hand said
Monteith gravely. 1T would be hy-
pocrisy to do so. Good-by once more
Miss Stuart"
He bowed, turned and left her. A
stair led down from the balcony to tEa
gardens. He went down by 1t, ana
soon vanished from sight. When ne
had gone Lilith turned and stretched
out her beautiful arms, with their
foamy yellow lace. towards the direc-
tion in which he had gone.
The day after tomorrow, she said.
And n little. low laugh came ripping
from her red lips. "Oh, fool! 1901!
The day after tomorrow"

CHAPTER VIII

Mr. Monteith is coming tonight.
Miss Troll, SO, II you are not engaged
with Lady Westray, you might stay
in the drawing-room and play to u.s."
said Miss Stuart languidly.
She reclined in luxurious easy
chair. her reddish-auburn head among
the velvet cushions, one beautiful
white hand laZily stroking the Persian
cat in her lap. Lilitb Stuart had a
strange affection for these animals
Could 1t be, as Aurora Leigh says
the work of woman is, symbolical?
Elspeth Troll looked up quickly from
her seam. taking in at one swift glance
the attitude of the graceful sinuous
figure in its pale-green evening gown,
trimmed heavily with creamy lace, un-
til It looked like that of Thetis spring
ing from the sea-foam. There were
times when. even to Elspeth. who had
known her for six years, Lilith was a
mystery.
u shall do SO if you desire it. Miss
Stuart" she replied, in her grave, quiet
tone.
There was nothing in common be-
tween these two young women, and
silence followed Elspeth's reply. She
went on quietly with her work, while
Lilith played with her Persian. alter
aateIy stroking 1t and pulling its ears.
Presently steps sounded on the soft
ly-carpeted corridor outside, and the
door was thrown open, the footman
announcing with ceremony. Mr.. Evan
Monteith."
Lilith did not rise. but lay back in
her chair. her face turned towards the
door, her dark-blue eyes with that
ieep. mysterious smile In them which
had brought go many hearts to her
feet. her hand half extended-the ac-
ton of queen expecting homage.
Monteith came forward and bowed
low: but he did not take the half
proffered hand. and Lilith allowed 1t
10 fall by her side.
Look at my lovely pussy. Is she
not queen among Persians?" she
said, laying her own beautiful mouth
On the top of the animals head.
And. do You know. actually believe
she loves me? Is 1t not stranger"

WIN ANOTHER PAPER.
DAVENPORT DEMOCRAT WILL
SUPPORT GOLD
1t Puts the Vital Question In the Cam
paign to the Two Candidates for Con
gre~s-L~ft No Choice but TO support
the Republican MIR. Lane.

For more than forty years the Dav-
enport Democrat has been the foremost
democratic newspaper in Iowa. Its late
editor, d. n. Richardson. who died last
summer. was one of its founders, ard
through good report and evil report
held steadfastly to the principles of
Jeffersonian democracy. Its present
owner. J. ]. Richardson. was for eight
years, from lssS to 1896, the Iowa
member OF the democratic national
committee.
But in 1896 the Democrat could not
swallow the Chicago popocratic plat
form and in that campaign advocated
the principles laid down at Indianapo-
lis. Since that day II has striven to
bring Iowa democrats back TO their
senses. but without avail. Silver is
stIll the idol OF the Iowa democracy
and l6 to / the party shibbolesh
Recognizing the paramount import
ance OF the money question in the con-
gressional elections, the editor of the
Democrat has propounded two ques-
lions to the local candidates for con-
gress as follows:
Il. In the event OF your election 10
congress from the Second Iowa district,
would you support legislation. II ap-
proved by your party caucus. iavoIing
the policy declared for at Chicago in
1896?
-. Would you. II elected. work and
vote, regardless of the action of your
party caucus. to maintain and per-
petuate the gold standard?
THE Democrat viii be guided in its
conduct of its campaign by your an
swer"
To these queries Judge Ney, the dem
ocratic candidate has answered; NO.
/. Most decidedly / would" No. z,
mo, no honest man who understands
the money question. can support the
gold standard"
MR.. LANE, THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE ANSWERED At ONCE:
TO THE FIRST PROPOSITION l
SAY NO: TO THE SECOND PRoPO-
SITION l SAY YES
For the first time in its long and
honorable career the Davenport Demo
crat will support republican for con-
gress, and indeed must do so in order
10 maintain its own consistency AS a
democratic newspaper.
Mr. Lane will also have the support
Of the sound money democrats OF his
district, and they are more numerous
there than in any other part OF the
state. That he will be elected there Is
no reason to doubt II the honest money
voters will only turn out.
There is no party politics In this
campaign so far as the congressional
election is concerned. The only issue
before the people is that comprised in
the questions proposed by the Daven-
port Democrat. 1t Is business issue
and goes to the welfare and prosperity
of all the people. republican and demo-
era, alike. Every candidate through
out the land ought to be asked to an
swer the same questions. and. whether
democrat or republican. should be sup
ported according to his answer.

He had been silent for few mo-

and truest and kindest woman that

He has gone, and Day. white and
trembling, with doubt and remorse and
love fighting within her, stood alone
on the road.
