When Clovis called she was always
glad to see him. and seemed quite con

soothed her, but did not altogether re-
move the shadow that hung over her
mind. SO much afraid was she or
meeting the Jew by accident, face 10
face. thai she could hardly be persuad-
ed to stir out of doors, even to take
necessary exercise.
OF course this state of things suited
Clovis admirably. He had not yet CIV
en- up all hope of recovering the dia-
monds. but il was rot that that was
first in his mind. His passion for ur-
sula had revived with ten-fold force

as ii it were something precious to nef.
And she was slowly recovering. As
the weeks went by, and the long spring
evenings became warm and golden. the
color came back TO her cheek and her
mind began to coy its n She no
longer dreaded the Jew with that over
pcwering, nervous terror that she had
felt for some time after leaving he

he told himself that his time was near

then sank fainting on the floor.
For the second time a pang OF self
reproach prickcd the scared conscience
of the man who was bending over her.
1t was a shame that this innocent and
beautiful girl should have been so cru
ely used, and. for the moment, his am
ger was hot against Kisch. He was
shocked to think that the Jew might
%retort, with truth, that they were
equally guilty.
Clovis shouted to Mrs. Kisch to bring
a jug of water. and when he had
bathed the girls face and hands and
famed her vigorously, he had the sat
isfaction of seeing her open her eyes.

Yes, oh, yesi' she cried, struggling
to her feet. He half-led, half-carried
her down stairs; and the next minute
she was going down the avenue be-
tween the gaunt old trees, clinging for
support TO her companions arm, with
ont which she would have fallen where
she stood, half laughing. ~half-sobbing,

can get from one persons fingernails
to another persons fingernails during
the act of handshaking unless there is
some scratching done or the minute or
ganism in question possesses extraor-
binary powers of locomotion. 1t is
also doubtful whether. If people keep
their fingernails in a proper condition,
there win be microbes housekeeping
there. More than all it is doubt
full and difficult TO see how the
handshake can be eliminated from
our social life. 1t probably orig
mated in the savage custom of
grasping one another by the weapon
hand, thus guarding against treach-
cry. 1t afterward became the pump

rural districts, and for mgrace-
fulness, idiocy and discomfort unriy-
aled by any other form of salutation.
Among truly civilized people it is a
cordial grasp, which neither chills the

hearty handshalze can express a great
deal. but it must be given with the
glove off. so that your friend may
come in contact with you, and not
with the skin of a defunct animal.
The probabilities are that the hand
shake will stay right where il is. We
cannot salaam in the Oriental fashion

and manage TO have a little more time.
Some of the African tribes stick out
their tongues by way of greeting, but
it would take some time for that saiu-
tation to become acceptable here,
There is nothing that. between friends,
will take the place of the handshake.
But. microbes aside, there is a re-
form which might be practiced to ex-
cellent purpose. It is the abolition Of
the handshake as a political custom,
at public receptions and the like.
The idea that there is any special
meaning in the perfunetory and
hasty grasp which candidate gives
to the general public-a public which
arrives in platoons. stares in brigades
and shakes hands in unwashed hum
dreds-is too ridiculous to be treated
seriously. Besides, when put in prac-
tice, it gives the candidate sore hand.
Every Presidential candidate for
many, many years has had partial pa
ralysis of the right hand. and some
times a serious time with his right
arm. on account of this silly and use

purpose should he merely bow his
greeting There is something worse

Pension Perils.

Although it may be taken as cer-
| tainty that a full investigation by the
Congress of the alleged frauds and cor
lead to serious consequences as far as
the personnel of past Republican ad-
ministrations are concerned, still, it is
the duty of the present one. and its
adherents in the Congress to take it
up. It would be far better to expose
knavery in its own party organization
than to leave the violent suspicion
that it exists, or has existed, ranking
in the public breast, and then to reap
the fruits of that impression at the
coming Congressional elections.
Administration organs are displaying
an acute desire to have the question
lodged in the present session. Why,
we are unable to see. There are GER
tain stories connected with the system,
as administered under several Repub-
lican administrations and one neither
Republican nor anything else of an
American or decent character, that
ought to be run down and typewriter.
The Soldiers Home widow business is
included in one of these. The state
ment that, at the last publication,
eight hundred fraudulent pensioners
were unearthed in the Baltimore dis
trict is another. Then the al
legation that successive Assistant
Secretaries of the Interior have ordered
pensions for pretty much all appIi-
cants in their home towns and coun-
ties is not a nice thing to have
going the rounds, largely because we
fear that it is credited among the
people.
The whole subject is a disagreeabIe
one. but it is one which the old yeter-
ans, speaking through their Grand
Army posts and Union Veteran en-
campments, seem TO want ventilated.
Naturally, it would be uncomfortable
for people who are pensioned as be-
ing totally disabled. but who draw
Government salaries as pension Of
ficials, and. incidentally. as able-bod-
led citizens, to have the light let in. A
noble army of pension attorneys also
may desire silence and perpetuated
opportunity: and. finally, Speaker
Reed may be able to suppress consid
Grafton in behalf of vested interests
but. really, something ought to be done
about it.
