Imogene professed to be terribly
superstitious and could not be prevail

he put away the board in disgust. Imo-
gene begged 10 be allowed 70 sleep with
Agnes. 1t was such a fearful night, she
said, and the old house was so lonely.
To reach the chamber of Agnes they
had to pass the door of the room where
Marina had been murdered. Imogene
grew ashen pale as they approached
it, and clutched the arm OF her COM
panion with something like terror. Ag-
mes stopped and looked at her with
wonder.
What is it, Imogene? Are you ill.,"
The question acted on Imogene like
shock of electricity. She laughed loudly.

CHAPTER vII.-TCoSTIyUEp. |

She left an icy kiss on his lips and
vanished. Ralph awoke with start. 1t
was all so real it was very difficult to
make 1t appear a simple dream. But
II took hold of this sensitive man. II
seemed to him, in his excited state, like
a message from heaven. He rose, dress
ed himself. and went down to the house
OF DR.. Hudson. Perhaps his mother had
expected him. for she met him at the
door and led him in to Agnes.
All Ralph's pride and anger broke
down at sight of that poor stricken
face. He could have cursed himself that
he had ever been angry with her for a
moment. He went to the bedside and
lifted her head to his bosom, and put
his face down to hers.
MY darling! my sister,. he cried,
Agnes, look up az me! love you stillw
She seemed dimly to comprehend, for
she smiled and put her weak arms
around his neck. and lying there on his
bosom she fell asleep.
From that time she rallied, and by
and-by the old doctor said she would
live. But she came back to life weak
and feeble as babe; it was weeks be-
fore her memory returned to her fully,
and the spring opened with many
bud and blossom before they thought it
safe TO remove her to the Rock
And then, as the warm weather adj
vanced, and Agnes grew stronger, she
was changed from her Old self. She
cared no more for the old charms of So
ciety, she sought no companionship,
but would wander for hours down on
the beach where she had played with
Lynde Graham in childhood, with no
companion save the great dog Quito,
which had been Marina's
She liked too. to take long rides on
horseback-in fact, she seemed TO give
out all the love she had to give on Jove,
for the faithful horse had not died, but
still lived and throve under the care
full tenderness of his mistress; and Ag-
nes could never forget that Jove had
heightened out his life-the life of the
man she loved.

said she was not there. The family felt
little uneasiness until night fell, and
then as she did not return they became
seriously alarmed. Search began, and
was continued through the next day,
and far into the night: but no clue to
the missing woman could be found.

The terrible bogy stuffed by the Argus
Leader for Q scare crow to South Dakota
taxpayers in regard to the liquor dis
pensary under the new constitutional
amendment is being ruthleesly de-
molished by some one who is able to
read. The A. L. had worked itself ur
into q belief and was trying to work up
the people OF South Dakota into the
same belief, that 1t would be necessary
for the state to raise at once about $780,
900 to build brewerles, dlstilleries, Tx up
saloons, etc. to supply liquor under the
new order OF things for South Dakota.
Now that election is over some one has
been reading what the new amendment
does call for and i: simply states that:
1.-The manufacture and sale OF intoxicat-
ing liquors shall be under exclusive state
control, ETC." The state don't need to
buy anything, only watch what is
bought.

WASHINGTON. Dee. 9.-The house has
passed the anti-ticket scalping bill by n
vote of 1l9 t. l0l. This action is the
elimination Of a lOyears' struggle on the
par, of the railroads to put an end the to
business Of ticket scalping. The inter-
state commission first called
attention to this in its report Of 1883, and
it has been before congress ever since in
one form or another. During the last
session extensive hearings We're given
both to the representatives OF the rail
roads and the scalpers and Mr. Sherman
Of New York secured ia pledges for
the measure. 1t was, however, deemed
advisable not to bring the Measure for
ward until the present session. The de-
bate lasted four hours and was spirited
on both sides. None Of the amend
ments offered were adopted and the bill

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Daily Malls
Picking correspondent says: IN. Paw
loft, the Russian Charge d'Affaires in
China, who has been appointed Rus
sian Minister to Korea, will be succeed
ed by M. de Giers, who Is at present ac-
credited to Brazil. M. Pavloff's re-
moval Is generally attributed to Great
Britain's sudden change of policy, the
object Of which was to impress Russia
with the advisable of recognizing our
paramountcy in the Yang Use Kiang
Valley.
1.-THE Russian Government has been
quite in accord with Great Britains de-
sire to limit the matters of sphere of
influence but when on last Thursday
it was asked permanently to respect
the integrity. of this sphere, 1t declined
to give any guarantee A prompt de-
monstration en- the part Of the British
fleet in the Gulf of Pechili, was a ready
answer to this equivocation.
Now that Lord Salisbury has given
plain indication of his plan Of action,
it is not improbable that Russia will
execute a mastery retreat from her
present position"
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Shanghai says it is reported there that
the Russians at New Chwang are try
ing to compel native owners of land
there to sell their holdings at absurdly
low prices and that in consequence of
this the Chinese are on the verge of an
anti Russian outbreak. The local man.
darins are, so to speak. between the
crossfires Of the Russians and natives
and are helpless.

Neighbors Before Risking the
PROPOSAL.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The Paris papers
publish the Cars note, but too late for
comment. In diplomatic and press
circles the greatest surprise is evinced.
1t is no secret that the sensitive Cars
feelings are toward peace. He hates
militarism and even objects to moving
about with a military escort He
would prefer to govern Poland with
sympathy and is shocked by bloodshed
Here is the great question asked:
What attitude does the Kaiser Will

Visits to various newspaper offices
show the tone the Journals will take

with the proposal. LIE Journal thinks
1t is a good omen for the future If the
autrocratic Gar makes the proposal.
The Gaulois thinks it impossible that
he could have made such q grave pro-
posal without having first consulted
France, especially as it comes at the
moment of the exchange of kilograms
between the Gar and President Faure.
The Figaro believes that the confer
ence will assemble because the Car
would not have risked a refusal. 1t
believes, however, that the aspiration
is chimerical.

ROME, Aug. 23.1The question OF the
clergy of the Philippines is a subject OF
negotiations between the Vatican.
Spain and the United States. I have
had an interview with an influential
Secretary Of State and propaganda in
regard to the matter. asked:
IF the United States, while respect
ing their rights, requests the Vatican
to substitute by degrees for Spanish
friars others of different naitonalities.
do you think the Vatican would agree?"
II do not know The Vatican has done
the same favor for France in Tunis
and for Italy in Abyssinia, and 1t is not
said that the Vatican will not agree to
do the same for America Nevertheless,
the difficulties are many. When the de-
struction of Cervera's fleet was known,
and seeing the end of the war, Mon
signor Mozaleda de la Villa sent a long
statement to Cardinal Ledochowski.
project of the propaganda, setting forth
the sad situation and their fears for the
future. The Cardinal visited the Pope,
praying him to open diplomatic nego-
tiations. They commenced Immediately.
and we expect good results shortly.
The first steps were taken in regard
to President Mckinley by Mgr Ireland
and Mgr. Martinelli, apostolic delegate
at Washington. The United States
Government would not at first enter
into any engagement, but after urgent
solicitation from the Vatican de-
clared 1t was disposed to recognize the
rights of Catholic missions IN the Phil
ippine Islands on condition that the
Spaniards would not create trouble for
the United States and renounce Span
ish protection. The Pope succeeded IN
getting his advice accepted at Madrid
by demonstrating the dangerous posi-
ton of the clergy and Catholic missions.
and the possibility that the United
States might take vigorous measures
against the church with the danger Of
prosecution. The Pope also promised
Spain his intervention with view Of
getting the best conditions Of peace.
This advice was seconded by Aus
tria, and Spain has manifested dis
position to be ready to accept it."
