the Castle; the other was John Suth-
erland.
For fully an hour neither Of them
had spoken; the old lady, looking fully
twenty years older than when we last
beheld her, lay back among the cush-
upon a letter which she held in her
hand. For about the tenth time that
night she raised the paper, and read
the words which were hastily scrawled
thereon:
Dear Mother am in great trouble
am in sore need. VIII you help me-:
do not mind for myself, but to see my
little child in want breaks my heart
MARJORIE"
She read it through; then with a
moan she let it fall again upon her
lap.
"Marjorie," she cried, my BARN, my
BARN"
From his corner OF the carriage
was utterly in the dark as to what II
all meant. He only knew that they
were travelling to Paris and to Mar
jorie
On the day before as he had been
quietly working at his pictures at home
his father having partially recovered
Miss Hetherington. whom he believed
to be in Edinburgh. had suddenly ap-
peared like a specter before him. and
without word OF explanation had CON-
manded him to return with her tc
Paris.
On Fastening with her to the Castle
he found that stormy scene had been
enacted there; that Miss Hetherington
beside herself with rage, had actually
struck her old attendant in the face
and turned her from the door What
it was all about nobody seemed to
| know, and after one glance into Miss
Hethcrington' wild eyes Sutherland
knew that he had better not inquire
So he quietly obeyed her orders, and
the two started together by the night
mail for the south But although Suth-
erland had been silent he had been
none the less curious; and now, seeing
that Miss Hetherington's wild excite
ment was passing away, he ventured
to speak:

"Ay. more than four weeks" she

and looking flxedly into his face, she
added Johnnie Sutherland, what has
happened to her now?''

| Sutherland was silent. He was more
troubled than he cared to say. A
month! All. ne thought, what might
not happen in that time to a woman
and child penniless and alone in the
streets Of Paris7
He returned the letter with sigh
and did all he could to rouse and cheer

THE DEDICATION.
Arrangements are Proceeding in Salts
factory Manner.

The arrangements for the Odd Eel.
lows dedication are moving along
smoothly. A general invitation has
been sent to each lodge in the city, of
orders, and this is intended to take
the place Of personal invitations to
the individual members. All Odd Eel.
lows who may be visiting In the CITY
are invited to attend, although nc
personal invitations are sent them.
On account of the great number of
people who are expected to be pres.
ent, no arrangements have been made
for small children, and parents will do
just as we'll not to bring them.
There seems to be some misunder.
standing as to the price of admission.
The tickets are one dollar each, and
each ticket will entitle one person to
everything on the program from &c
o'clock in the afternoon until the last
dance. One ticket does not admit a
gentleman and lady. Each individual
must have ticket. The program is
so extensive and varied that the price
is very low.
Next Wednesday, February End, is
the date.

BY TWO MAJORITY.
Opponents of the Newspaper Bill Win in
the Y. M. C.. A. Senate.

The Y. M. G. A. senate held an in
teresting meeting last night. Sena-
tor Barr gave a brief talk, after which
the order of business was carried
through.
| Senator Emerson offered a resolu-
tion calling upon Congress to take the
necessary steps toward having con.
Stitutional amendment adopted pro-
viding for the election of United
senators by a direct vote Of the PEG,
pie. 1t was referred to the judiciary
committee.
The judiciary committee reported
back with favorable recommendation
the arbitration bill, the bill to repeal
the BARRIERS license law, and the bill
legalizing certain deeds and mort
cages, These bills were placed upon
general orders. The committee on
education reported favorably upon
the educational bill, and it was
placed on general orders.
Word was received that the COVER
nor would probably remove the pre-
sent oil inspector, in order to make
way for new appointee.
1t was claimed that there was a
wood chuck in the Rapidan park bill,
and it was referred to Senator Osborn.
The senate went into committee of
the whole and took up the newspaper
bill. This bill was intended to per-
NIT the publication of legal notices
in newspapers printed in foreign Ian
guages. A lively debate on the merits
of the bill resulted, each side having
several champions. A motion to rise
and report progress on the bill was
adopted, and when this had been
done, a substitute for the report was
adopted by two majority. recommend
ing the bill for indefinite postpone
ment. This action was accompanied
by sharp debate on parliamentary
practices, the chair holding that a
substitute is not an amendment, and
does not need to be voted on a second
time.
Previous to the meeting of the
senate, the Democrats, Populists and
Prohibitionists held a caucus and de-
cided to consolidate under the name
of Independents. A caucus steering
committee was appointed. The Re-
publicans number eighteen, and the
Independents fifteen. The indie
pendents had a majority of one at last
nights session.
