A Little Pioturs.

As ! was walking In the street ono

man sat writing, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser.
His head was bent toward the light
and his hand was flying at furious
speed over the paper. In such a sleepy

afternoon, haste like his was almost
a crime, No wonder | stopped with
some suspicion to look at him.
And, will You believe me, as he I'M

pieces and tossed them cut OF the

"Broador and Deeper Than Ratio"


The question Of 10 TO is mere in
cdcnt OF the contest. II Is like the
combining of slavery within the limits
In which 1t then existed In 1900 Tho
question is broader and deeper and
much more significant than the ratio.
The question is whether tho govern
ment shall issue and control It's own
money or whether this sovereign pow
or Of the government shall be delegR-
ted to the bank corporations.
In 1860 tho issue was whether the
government should control or whether
the slave power should control, and
the issue today is whether the people
shall control or whether tho corpora
tions shall control, The issuance and
control of money, tho right to fix the
ratio and the value, the power to de-
clare what shall be legal tender are
powers conferred upon the government
by the constitution. One by one the
money power has been wrestling this
constitutional function from tho peo-
pie. They have repudiatcd sacred OBJ
legations to do 1t, they have over
thrown the courts of the people and
substituted plant tools to sit on the
bench, who do the bidding OF their
masters They have violated every
right of the people when there rights
interfered with the greed and avarice
Of these cormorants. Independent

CHAPTER XVI

One cold gusty evening In October,
seven years after the pen had fallen
from Paul Dennys' hand, two women,
wearing the garb of the good Sisters
OF Nazareth, wendell their way across
the little country churchyard Of Col
worth and stood silently before white
marble cross bearing the following In
scrlptlon-
Sacred to the memory of Helen
the beloved wife of Paul Dennys Of
,Colworth, who died 22nd Of July, 1877,
aged 49,"
1T stood few yards away from the
huge stone monument under which
generations Of Dennyses slept, the
reeds and rushes from the river, flow
ing close by, rustling mournfully
around 1t, making the spot so dismal
and ghostly that the elder sister, a
woman of vigorous and unlmagin-
alive disposition, shuddered involun-
Itarily and exclaimed half-pettishly to
her silent companion
"Well, sister, is our journey at an
end? Is this the spot we have travelled
over two hundred miles to visit?"

ing round the cross, held 1t In her hand
iHresolutely for moment, then flung
Il into the river and moved heavily
away.
mo wait moment and rest your
self--you look quite exhausted Don't
sit on the grass, child; do you wish to
Sget your death Of cold? Sit here on
lthe slab beside me-" cried Sister
1IAgatha, laying motherly hand on her
companions shoulder.
She obeyed, tossing back her heavy
Grape veil, and lifted wan listless
face to the low murky sky.
Poor Helen!" she sighed presently,
with weak laugh. "They haven't
given her very dry bed, have they?
They might have moved her little
farther, even though It were only her
memory Wondering there"
Sister Agatha made no reply, but
read aloud the inscription, comment
ing softly, aged ninteen. That was
:. young to bid good-by to earthly hap
piness. Was this Helen a relation
any one you loved-Sister Clothilde?"
Il knew her all her life; though she
died young in years, she was old in
sorrow"
"And yet she was beloved"

says Oh, sister, slater" burst out the
young nun, with sudden, bitter cry,
"of all the lies, uttered or recorded
in this world Of lies, there are none

faced as those that defile the grave
yards Of our land!"
Hush, hush, my Gear sister!" re-
'>proved the elder, in shocked voice.

Presently the door opened again, and
q portly nurse laden with a gorgeous

and bogemmed fingers, namely, Mrs,
Dennys of Colworth, a stately we'll

blooming face not tho faintest trace OF
shame, remorse, regret llngered-a face
that was the embodiment Of supreme
self-satisfactlon and unshadowed pros
perlty. Helen looked into II long and
deeply with hungry eyes, then turned
to the wall, when a shower OF hot
tears dlmmed her sight,

Mr.. Dennys made half-soothing,
half-banterlng reply; at tho same time,
SELLING his little girl he perched her
on his shoulder. The child chung to
him fearfully her eyes fixed upon the
dark figure, which nobody seemed to
notice.
Helen's lips moved In lncohercnt ter
rife prayer, her hands pressed to her
eyes,

prayed, "oh, do not desert me after
seven years struggle, don't let my sac

She leaned forward rocking herself
TO and fro In the fever Of temptation,
moaning feebly, until some one touch
ed her appraised arm, and her hand fell
instInctively. Edith's husband was
standing beside her, speaking to her.
~ beg your pardon, madam, there

He moved away, not q CLEAN OF rec

her lap,
At first she could not see him plain

but 1t passed away, and he stood clear
before her, man In the prime of life;
