Hush, hush! The baron is here
Baron SAKE" cries Della, becoming
instantly covered with bushes, as she
raises herself to look at him.
Yes, madam says the baron, now
compelled to speak, though huskily, 'and
no one will rejoice more in your happiness

book. and II ansthe happiest woman on

bursts into flood of tears, and hides her
face once more on the arms of her son.
And you are not married to him,
then?' demands Mrs. Hephzibah.
Married! Married to whom?

Good gracious, my dear friend! What

Then Mr.. lie Mesurier relates how he
became reunited to his wife.

little lawyers hand.

Ru <sia's American-BuiIt Warshirs

Some details have been made public
concerning two war vessels that are to
be constructed in Philadelphia for the
Russian Government that should be
studied by our naval authorities and
the naval committees Of Congress. The
largest vessel is to be battleship of
12,7OO tons displacement which must
maintain speed Of eighteen knots an
hour for twelve cons ecut5we hours, with
all coal, ammunition and stores on
board. Speed must be maintained with
ordinary draug1pt, and the coal, am
munition and stores will be greater by
SO per cent than those carried on any
vessel outside of Russia. The other
vessel, cruiser, will have dlsplace-
ment of $500 tons, a speed Of twenty
two knots an hour for twelve consec-
utive hours, and carrying capacity Of
80 per cent. more stores Of all kinds
than has ever been put into a warship.
These vessels will be far superior to
any hitherto designed for our navy, and
will embody all the lessons taught by
SIMPSONS fight with Ceryera.

Il beg your pardon, Sister, but if you

for q moment"
You can speak to me with the greatest
confidence here. doctor. This lady and
gentleman are my friends and interested
in the fate of your poor patient.
He has not recovered. / regret 20 say

Dead! The word falls with chilling eff
feet upon all present. Death is an awful
thing even when it is presented to us in
the person of an imbecile and WORKOUT
pauper.
Il should like to identify the body
says Mr.. lie Mesurier.
They follow the doctor silently and rev.
erently to the chamber where poor old
Strother was conveyed; and there, on a
bed, they find tho body of the Chiffon
clerk, dressed as they discovered him,
with his arms fondly extended over the
precious package that caused his death.

parcel and carries it into the next room.

Spain Takes the Debt.

That Spain has consented to assume
that debt means to the holders of Spain's
securities-not alone of the Cuban bonds,
but of practically every description not
specially guaranteed-serious loss.-St,
Paul Pioneer Press.
A nation foundering in practical bank
ruptcy has no ally. It is getting ready
to be dismembered and sold out by its
creditors or to seek power that will as
sumo it's debts at the cost of absorbing it
entire.-Boston Globe.
The game was we'll worth playing. and
it is no wonder, therefore, that the Span
ish commissioners went to the verge Oh
breaking off negotiations in their efforts
to win. But American firmness and IN
sistence upon the terms of the protocol
have triumphed and Spain yields at last to
the inevitable. She cannot shift the pen
atty Of her wrong doings in Cuba upon
her conquerors.-Detr Free Press
But it should be made clear to SPAN
that the purpose Of the United States I'D
this war was to free Cuba from oppres'
sion. One Of the grossest and most noto'
rious forms of oppression was the e1of'
to saddle Cuba not only with the debt Gre
ated for her subjugation, but with scores
of millions of Spanish stealings in adGf
ton. To permit any of that burden TO !ur W
perpetuated would. be a gratuitous nulllr
cation of our object in this war.-fl'tS

James Cassidy, in the st. Nicholas,
has an article about diving, entitled

posed to contain considerable amount
of specie. Spanish divers-brave fel-
lows, and capital men at their art-had
been trying before us, but declared that
it was quite impossible to reach the
hold of the wreck, or even her deck.
It's a sheer impossibility,' they said.
"'Well. it may be- said Lambert;

1T is that Lambert never reached the
wreck at all-that he is only pretending
to have done So
"'Oho" exclaimed Lambert, so that's
their idea, is it? Well, We'll soon cor

Transmitting Sound by Tubes.

An interesting series Of experiments
in transmitting sound through tubing
is reported from Germany. The pip
ing conveying compressed air into the
workings of a coal mine was employ
ed. The greatest length to which a
sound could be conveyed in a straight
pipe without branches was found to
be 1900 to LOO feet. For distances
up to 2,66O feet the best kind of pipe
was that with 4 diameter of about
twenty inches; beyond that distance
larger pipes We're more effective. In
distances up to $50 feet diameter Of
eight inches is needed.
