The eventful day had dragged along
heavily, as though holding back it's in
evitable decree reluctantly, at least SO
it seemed to Constance feverish imagi-
nation. Even the sunshine seemed to
her like a horrible farce of some kind,
a demoniacal grin at her speculative
faulty. There was no future for her
after tonight unless she succeeded. She
found herself leaving her letters unread
OF unposted. The days OF weeks had
been numbered up to the night of the
debut not past it. Every blue blouseG

eeiye idly perusing the coming event of
her temerity on the yellow posters
pasted on the signboards at the right
and the left of the Opera, which cast
their highly tinted shadow before,
seemed to her q possible carping critic
or q soothing agent Of the secret police
sprung out of the multitude, for the
sole purpose of encompassing her vocal
ruin. She wondered when she climbed
the stairs of the pension after run
around the block to assure herself that
her other faculties We're not paralyzed,
like her throat, if in the early morning
hours OF the ensuing day she would
climb them with a heavy heart or a joy
GUS one. When her ilumid eyes Looked
upon her little bed, SIZE wondered if the
pillow would smother her tears of wom-
anlsE lmpotency or welcome her signs
of infinite relief when the ordeal was
over and her triumph was complete.
Desmoulins had been with her all the
afternoon, accompanied by six journal
lists of renown, among whom was De
Lacaze, fully cognizant of the superla-

cussed the new singers ''points" in her

Constance's sole response had been to
smile defiantly, little burning flush
purpling her check under the eyes, like
the glow of an orb which, supposed to
have set, suddenly reveals itself once
more, as if to give the lie to its mourn

light in augmenting her torture, i'll drag

METHoDIsTs ON WAR ISSUES.
A Proposition 10 Censure the War
Department Killed.


Mount Clemens. Mich. Sept 2S.-The
Methodist Episcopal conference held a
warm session yesterday over resolutions
which contained clauses approving an
Anglo-American alliance and denouncinc
the War Department for incompetency in
Its hospital work The alliance plank was
voted down and a substitute which de-
clared the conference heartily in favor
Of an increase of friendly feeling and re-
lation' between the two countries was
adopted
When il was proposed TO modify the
clause relating to the War Department
Presiding Elder John Sweet, Of Owosso.
made speech, in which he said: Il per-
sonally saw at Montauk Point sights that
would be a disgrace even to a barbarous
country Mr.. Sweet has just lost a son
and was very bitter in his opposition to
any modification of the original resolu-
uon. Several veterans of the civil war
who were present counselled moderation
and as result the clause was made to
read: we declare our pleasure that the
President has ordered a searching inves-
tigation into the conduct of the war, and
trust the responsibility for mismanage-
ment and incompetency will be placed
upon those who are guilty thereof -
When the substitute was passed Bishop
Andrews said he lived near Montauk
Point and added that the suffering was
less than had been stated. Elder Sweet
replied hotly that he spoke of only what
he saw
The other resolutions favor the reten-
tion Of all lands captured in the war.

himself head first into the furnace

furnace and, exerting all his great
strength, threw himself and his burden
