have seen Hildred now-you can judge
for yourself; give me your answer
With a sudden smile-and 1t was
wonderful how that smile changed his
face-Lord Caraven turned to his
host.
81 really think" he said, THAI she Is
emphatically a nice girl-too nice to be
sacrificed"
at is no sacrifice-she will be hap
py," replied her father. do you say
Yes or No, my lord? Time is money
to me-"
"You give me less time for consider
alton than you would give to man
buying picture" he replied. Il see
no hope in any other way; II ala,
should refuse. ! tell you frankly that
| shall never like your daughter; you
thrust her upon me, you make her the
only plank between my miserable sell
and the dark waters of death. l shall
never like her-first of all. because she
is your daughter; secondly, because
she is not at all the style of girl that
do admire"
"You are very frank, my lord. VIII
you answer me one question? Do you
love any one else?"
The young earl looked puzzled.
1.-THE fact is" he said. that have
loved so many. really"
What 1 mean is, you are not be-
trothed-you have never made an offer
of marriage to any one else?
81 have not had time even to think
of marriage-that is why 1 dislike the
idea of it now"
"Then that settles the matter. You
say Yes and l say Yes Hildred Will
be willing-girls love position, and she
is very proud"
Something akin to pity stirred the
earl's heart.
What is Miss Ransome's age?" he
asked.
"She will soon be eighteen" replied
the lawyer.
"And," said Lord Caraven, $50 young
as that, do you feel no reluctance at
giving her to man who tells you hon
estly that he will never like herr"
"You will like her we'll enough in
time" replied the lawyer. Some OF
the happiest marriages in the world
have begun with little aversion"
There might be more hope if mine
were a little aversion" said Lord Car
aven. 1T is something worse. 1t is
profound, fatal Indifference! Your
daughter may be Countess of Caraven
if that be your ambition, but she will
never be loved wife of mine. She is
not the style of girl that l admire. She
is shy, uniformed. l like a graceful
lovely, radiant woman; that she will
never be-"
"She has the clearest sense, the
soundest judgment, and the best dispo-
sition of any one | know"
Possibly" said the earl, carelessly
"Now YOU know the terms, it remains
for you to say Yes Your daughter
shall be Countess of Caraven: she
shall go to court she shall be the lead
ing lady of the county; she shall have
the family diamonds and all that vaiJ
women most desire-but l shall nevel
love her. and, what is more, shall
never even pretend to do so.'
Arley Ransome laughed.
Mildred will do very well withou
that" he replied. Then the bargain
is struck, my lord. We will say moth
ing to my daughter today; tomorrow
will speak to her myself Allow nj
to congratulate you; you are fret
man now, Lord Caraven, and wealth!

81 should have been a wiser one hat
I taken the revolver" he replied; ant
then Miss Ransome returned with the
engravings.
After a few courteous words he wen
away, leaving Arley Ransome in STATE
of great delight and citation.

Now. men of America, be fair, and
give the women a chance. Are you
afraid that they will do some of your
work, and hence harm your prosperi-
ties? Remember that there are scores
of thousands of men doing women's
work. Do not be afraid! God knows
the end from the beginning, and he
knows how many people this world
can feed and shelter, and when it gets
too full he will end the world. and,
if need be. start another God will
halt the inventive faculty, which, by
producing a machine that will do the
work of ten or twenty or hundred
men and women, will leave that num-
Der of people without work. l hope
that there will not be invented another
sewing machine. or reaping machine.
or corn thresher. or any new machine
for the next five hundred years. We
want no more wooden hands and iron
hands and steel hands and electric
hands substituted for men and women.

State Troops Ordered to
Chattanooga Yesterday.
Three Hundred Vessels REQUIRED
to Move the Army.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Washington Post to-
morrow will say:
Between sixty and eighty thousand men will be
landed on Cuban soil at once.
They will wear the uniforms OF the United States,
and they will not return until they have defeated the
Spanish forces on the island and the American flag floats
as proudly over Havana as it does over the ruins of the
CaVte fortress in Manila i1arbor.
This is the idea of the military advisers Of the adj
stratlon, and the President has approved the plans
The first section of the army to invade Cuba will
be the 5000 of 1900 troops that are now assembled
New Orleans and Tampa They are all regulars, and
most of them are men who have seen actual lighting
on the plains They are seasoned disciplined effective
They will be followed at once by another army of
10000 volunteers who will be concentrated at Southern
ports as quickly as the trains can carry them, and will be
transported as fast as the necessary ships can be col
ected
1t is estimated that it will take at least three hun
dred vessels to carry this immense army to Cuba Near
y everything that floats has already been secured by
the government and last night the wires were hot in
al dHectiCns directing contracts to be closed nmedi
ately IN all the principal seaport towns.
Other details of the great expedition are arranged.
Within forty-eght hours there will be 1000 wagons at
Tampa and 1900 mules. Several hundred ambu-
0nces will also be hurried to Tampa They may be
needed Battles are not all like the one which has lust
been fought in Manila harbOr.
