A SILLY DEVICE.

The story is being diligently cir
culated that in Nebraska the beet
sugar factories are offering S4 for beet
stock if annexation of Hawaii is de-
feated. and but So 80 if it prevails. We
will wager that the yarn is a lie-a de-
vice by the sugar trust to influence
public sentiment. If the offer is made,
however, as reported, then it comes
from concerns controlled by the sugar
manipulators. As the "Oregonian" We'll
said recently:
Surely it ought by this time to be
known that annexation can make no
difference. since, under reciprocity, the
sugar and all other products of the
islands are now, and for more than
twenty years have been, coming into
the United States free of duty. This
has been explained so often that it must
be a wonder that the NebraskanS DO not
know it.
Nor is there any probability that the
reciprocity treaty, in case annexation
fails, will be abrogated The great IN
terests protected by the treaty have
shown on many occasions their power
to control the Senate The treaty of
reciprocity, therefore, cannot be abol-
ished 1t will stand, and it will be re-
newed as often as it may expire by
Limitation; and Hawaiian sugars. there
fore. will continue to come free into the
United States, as we'll without annexa-
ton as with it.

her hand firmly, he stopped little
lower, searching for the signs which
might answer him in her face. His

words.

There was pause. She saw the

within him, growing brighter and
brighter in his eyes. She felt his grasp
Strengthening on her hand. She Eeard

CLARA Burnham! I am not to be
trifled with. Clara Burnham! insist
on the truth. Are you false to ma?"
She resented that searching question
with woman's keen sense of the in
suit that is implied in doubling her to
her face.
"Mr. Wardour! you forget yourself
when you call me to account in that
way. never encouraged you. never
gave you promise or pledge"
He passionately interrupted her be-
fore she could say more: "You have en-
gagged yourself in my absence. Your
words own it; your looks own it! You
have engaged yourself to another
man."
IF 1 have engaged myself, what
right have you to complain of it?" she
answered firmly. What right have
you to control my actions"
The next words died away on her
lips. He suddenly dropped her hand.
A marked change appeared in the ex-
preston Of his eyes-a change which
told her of the terrible passions that
she had let loose in him. She read,
dimly read, something in his face
which made her tremble-not for her
self, but for Frank.
Little by little the dark color faded
out of his face. His deep voice drop
ped suddenly to low and quiet tone as
he spoke the parting words: "Say no
more, Miss Burnham-you have said
enough. l am answered; am dis

close up to her, laid his hand on her
arm.
