will make me late. am booked for
duck hunt at dawn, SO must tear my
self away now"
A moment later Bessie Westchester,
with unusual awkwardness for her,
caught her founce upon carved chair
and fed upstairs to repair damages.
Passing her cousin in the hall, she whis-
pered:
Ready at two, sharp!"
The ladies' dressing-room showed no
occupant to the girls glance through
its door; and, passing up the dark stair
way beyond, to the third story, she
tapped softly at a closed door, entering
without pausing for reply.
A bowed female form before the fire
raised suddenly at the sound from the
hands that covered it pale face
crowned with glossy coils of ruddy hair;
and the eager eyes ofCarolyn Clay ques-
toned hungrily those of her friend
''Oh, Bess! thought you would necer
come Has he succeeded? Can / get
off?'
''Yes, Caro-; all is ready"
"Thank God! Thank God!' Miss Clay
murmured, with choking sob. "Oh,
Bess! had anything stopped me again
should have espaired-broken down.!
Never before have | been so nervous
SO oppressed If anything has hap
pened over there-if Fairfax"
For answer Bessie Westchester drew
from her bosom the crumpled note. The
other girl clutched it eagerly, rushed to
the table lamp, and devoured, with
burning eyes, the hastily-scribbled
words, without address or signature:
Only moment to write. Am al
most wild with doubt. She should be
back, but has not even been heard
from. Fairfax no worse; his fever per-
haps lighter. Messenger waits. God
guard you-and herr
Miss Clay reread the words, twice,
thrice, and pressed them to her
trembling lips ere they formed the
words:
Poor, dear mother! How anxious
she must bel But our baby is better,
thank God! How did it Gomez"
willie Mckee brought it to mamma.
Carroll Meredith met old Pete at the
Ferry"
Again the older woman read the let
ter; then, with deep sigh, she stood
erect, thinking. And a fair contrast
were the women, seen thus: Bessie
Westminster plump, fresh, petite, her
low ball dress showing the perfect neck
and bust and softly-rounded arms of
lately-budded womanhood, her bright
face grave and soft in sympathy, and its
dark eyes tender through unsbed tears;
Carolyn Clay tall, majestic, defiant, her
grand head thrown back, the supple
curves of her form well relieved by the
rough riding-habit, its skirt turned in
and sewed lightly, to be used at need.
At length, with sigh-more of decis-
ion than of discontent,- dropped
into her low chair again, with the quiet
query:

WASHINGTON LETTER.

These be times of war. The Uni
ted States is fast completing ar
engagements to wallop the Spapiard;
Russia and Japan are making faces
at each other; while the Dutchman
and Frenchman aside from their
peccadilloes over the Chinese are
each watching the other, and in the
meantime the French are also over
running British territory in Central
Africa, and the only person who
seems to teke everything perfectly
tranquil is our esteemed friend
Rothschild of the Bank of England
for out of war comes his great prof
its, and if there is anything which
that distinguished person likes bet
ter than another it is the privilege
of robbing the rest of mankind.
One may well feel proud to say
that he is an American. The reso-
luton presented in the Congress of
the United States appropriating
$50, 100000 as war fund passed both
the Senate and the House without
dissenting voice. Such spontan-
eous unanimous patritism has rare
ly ever been seen in any country in
the civilized world, and it is q source
of congratulation to the people of
the North and South, the East and
the West, that when our country or
its honor is assailed that party lines
become obliterated and patriotism
pure and uuadulterated is the only
sentiment which actuates our pub
lie men as well as private citizens.
The Government is progressing
with its war preparations with the
greatest rapidity. At all the the
navy-yards in the United States,
men are working day and night,
and this week the Washington Gun
Factory commences to run three
shifts of men eight hours each,
which will enable our great gun fac
tory to turn out about three times
as much work as is ordinarily done
The law authorizing the enlistment
of two regiments of artillery passed
during the week for coast defences
and these defetces will be vel
armed and equipped during the
next week from the farthest Maine
coast up the Pacific to Seattle an6
Tacoma.
War is now certainty unless the
Spaniard shows the white feather
backs down completely, pays
heavy war indemnity, grants liberty
to Cuba, and releases from its de
testable prisons every Cuban pc
triot who is now incarcerated or
account of his so-called rebellion
The die is cast, and nothing but
absolute surrender will prevent
Uncle Sam from whipping the
treacherous, brutal Spaniard, and
give him such drubbing as will
teach that cowardly, detestablt
people, for centuries to come, les.
son which they richly deserve
Uncle Sam of all the nations of the
earth is the best for the Spaniard tt
run up against, because he is sure
of sound, thorough whipping
which will last him until he il
taught some of those principles O
Christianity which permeates the
actions of civilized nations.
The British government has ex
pressed to the American govern
ment its desire to become an often
sive and defensive ally against al
nations of the civilized world.
This intimation was conveyed tt
President Mckinley by Sir Julia,
Pauncefote, the British ambassadol
at the conference held at the Whit,
House on Tuesday.

The south can doubtless beat New
England in cotton manufacturing. If
slavery had not existed, or if it had
been abolished es Ri, r, the south's ad-
vantages 10 this field would have been
revealed sooner, and many of the New
England cotton mills would have been
built on the other side of Mason and
Dixon's line instead. However, the
people who are blaming the tariff for
New highlands pres mt troubles are
short-sighted. The tariff knows
neither latitude nor longitude 1t has
no especial favors for New England, th e
south or the wet, but treats all sect
ions and localities alike. The tariff
gave cotton misunderstanding START 10
the north many years ago, but IT wss
inevitable that the sOuth's 'ro unity
to the supply of raw materlA aid its
cheaper labor would give that section
a great advantage when it entered the
field as competitor. No tariff can
nuetralize these advantages, and no
one wants them to be neutralized by

WITH The splendid public spirit Of
its citizens, always working together
harm niously for the'upbuilding of the
city, New Orleans is destined ere long
to become one OF the greatest cities OF
the Atlantic seaboard. Whenever the
railroads begin to discriminate against
the port, or an opportunity offers for
the captsre of new line of trade,
foreign or domestic, the merchants Of
the Crescent City, get close tog ether
as one man and, regardless OF the
temporary cost, they straighten out
matters and capture trade. Through
these Efforts New Orleans now enjoys
a heavy trade with Central and South
A ut RIGA and Europe, and is a heavy
shipping point for grsin, iron and coal.
Those interested in the future welfare
of Ell Paso night IL arm a Ii sson from
all this, for, which Ell Paso does not
enjoy all the advantages of New Or
leans it has in its advantages the build-
inr up of CONNER cial and mar

cheap and apandant water both now
assured, little united effort will build
