Protectionists Seeking LIGHT

Until the war began certain Of our states
men had diligently insisted that foreign
trade was a thing to be despised. "Who

Of war, are now insisting that we must hold

Rico, and to ANY old island" we can get,

SPAIN MAKES REPLY
CONTINUED from Page One.)

the reply had reached Washington and the
usual office hours closed with no appoint
ment made for a conference. There was felt
to be little likelihood, even though the am
bassador had received the complete reply
and instructions that there would be night
conference at the White House for the pur-
pose of presenting the document.
Pending the official delivery of the an
swer. speculation was rife as to its con-
tents. There was little or no further doubt
that the length Of the reply meant that
Spain had not given simple and direc.
affirmative to the American conditions. 1t
was evident that II the reply was an ac-
ceptance 1t was accompanied by extended
discussion and probably by conditions This
caused considerable apprehension in official
circles here, for while 1t was felt last week
that Spain would surely yield in every par
ticular, 1t began to be felt that possibly
there might be another period Of discus
sion and possibly an Indirect attempt to
open up a diplomatic exchange on the ma
iure of the terms. The prevailing view,
however. was that the reply was on its face
acceptance, although not such a one pre-
Guided all possibility of further discussion.
All vital points were believed 10 be con-
oeoed-the abandonment of Cuba, Porto
Hico and the Ladrones and the establish
ment of commission to pass upon Ques-
lions relating to the Philippines.
Policy of Delay
In the carrying out of this program y
was believed that Spain would seek to Sc
cure an understanding on many incidental
points involved, some of them of consider
able Importance. For instance some doubt
was raised as to whether Spain's accept
ance would be operative until ratified by
the Spanish cortes and 1t was unders TODD
that the reply might call attention to this
condition. The same condition, it was
pointed out exists as to the United States.
for a peace treaty requires the ratification
of the senate to become operative. In case
Spain's answer discussed these incidental
points, there promises to be wide latitude
for controversy and delay unless the presi-
dent and cabinet declined to enter the field
of discussion.
Late this afternoon the president re-
ceived an indirect intimation that the
Spanish reply would come to the French
embassy. cabinet officer who was with
him at this time said on leaving:

After Many Days.
by PERLE HALEY.

Miss Hannah Crosby sat in her stiff
backed rocker with an angry look In her
steel gray eyes, and with her thin lips
drawn tightly together, listlessly holding
letter in her bony, wrinkled hands.
She began to rock back and forth quick
ly, and then Jerking the letter up read 1t
over again.

BE here Thursday This Is Thursday!
My, she might come in any time
She arose and went to the door and
looked up the dusty road. A mere speck
appeared on top Of the hill which grew
larger and larger, and at last 1t could be
seen that 1t was the stage coach. 1t drew
up at Miss Crosby's gate and from 1t
alighted little figure all in black. The
driver cracked his whip and the coach
rolled ON, leaving the little traveller
standing alone, gazing at the low white
cottage before her and at the scrawny
woman standing with her hands on her
hips In the doorway.
"Are you going to stay out there all
night, or are you coming in?" Miss Cros-
by called, shrilly.
The little girl gave jump and she
timidly opened the gate and her little
trembling hands could hardly put the
rope back Miss Hannah watched her
coldly, and as the child came up to the
steps she said sharply:
"Are you Helen Crosby-Bill Crosby's
daughter?
Helen raised her large brown eyes and
looked at Miss Crosby
my name is Helen Crosby" she said,
and then she looked down at the ground.
Don't he standing there all day. Why
don't you come ln?" Miss Hannah said.
"You didn't ask me" the child said
well, you heard me ask you then,
didn't you? Now come in here and take
of that scarecrow of hat and make
yourself ready for tea. Come on" she
commanded, as she saw the child hesi-
tate.

And from bending brier vine
Broke of this blossom as q sign,

takes, she threw her sewing In Miss
Crosby's face and stOrmed out Of the
room. Dr. Webster was sitting by the
window and had listened to 1t all. He
now looked at Miss Hannah and said in
a clear, cold voice, Miss Crosby, you are
entirely too cross with Helen. You ought
TO see sbe is rapidly going into a decline
and a few kind words would not hurt
her"
DR. Webster, just mind your own
business" Miss Crosby snapped as she
banged the door behind her.
DR.. Webster looked out at the rain and
the next moment uttered frightened
cry, for speeding down the path with an
old shawl over her head was Helen. He
ran to the hall and tearing his hat from
the hook flew out of the door and after
the runaway girl.
Miss Crosby had heard the noise and
watched them from the window. A feel
Ing OF deep remorse swept over her and
few tears dimmed the old faded eyes
and rolled down the wrinkled cheeks.
She loved the little orphan but would
never allow herself to believe it, and as
she watched the pair flying down the
path she shuddered when she thought of
the consequences. Going into a rapid
Decline" DR.. Webster had said. Was she
going to lose the little being who had
gradually found warm spot in her
heart?
"Oh, God, spare her to me and I'll be
kinder to her." she prayed as she stood
at the window. DR.. Webster had caught
Helen and had lifted her in his arms
and was carrying her back to the house
when Miss Crosby met him.
Let me have her. DR.. Webster" she
said in a low sad voice.
He glanced at her and then laid his
burden in her arms. They hurried to
the house, where Miss Hannah soon had
a CHEEKY fire and Helen propped up on
the lounge with pillows. She was very
white, with dull red spot in each cheek,
and watched her aunt with fever-laden
eyes. DR.. Webster sat beside her and
watched her with an aching heart. He
had grown to love her and now he felt
the dull aching at his heart, for he knew
he must give her up.
AS the days passed Helen grew more
languid, and one morning was not able
to leave her bed Miss Crosby had
changed greatly and Helen wondered at
the change. She carried the frail form
to the sitting-room and Helen never left
her couch until she was carried from 1t
corpse.
Towards the last days of her life Miss
Crosby never left her. DR.. Webster was
with her also, and between them they
made the few days seem brighter. Helen
would gaze at her aunt wonderingly at
times and Miss Crosby would catch her
glance and her eyes would fall beneath
it.
Aunt Hannah, you love me little,
don't you?" Helen said one morning.
At this the poor old maid broke down
and sobbed pitifully.
ooh, child, forgive me-" she cried,
holding Helen's little dry hand in her
withered bony one.
Eyes, yes, Aunt Hannah, l love you,
too I forgive you," Helen said in a hol-
low voice.
DR.. Webster and Miss Crosby looked
at each other and read each others Sc
cret. She went over to him and simply
said, "Tell her." and left the room. :
In the afternoon Helen breathed her
last in DR.. Websters arms, with her
aunt's hand clasued tightly in hers
