coRoNErs AT AUCTION.
And the Bidding Was Not at All
Brisk.
ITO be Continued.)

And the Bidding Was Not at All
Brisk.
Some queer commodities find their
way into the auction room, but 1t is
not every day that coronet may be
picked up at a bargain in a salesroom,
says the London Chronicle. This was
what happened yesterday, when a mar
quis coronet was put up and knocked
down by a Conduit street auctioneer.
1t is odd enough that such an adorn-
ment should find its way into the vul-.
gar atmosphere Of furniture dealers
and brokers' men, but that anybody
should want to buy secondhand cor
onet is odder still. The biddings, 1t is
true, were not keen. They began at a
couple of guineas and went up to IS, at
which the coronet went into the posses
sion of some apparently plebeian per-
son-certainly not marquis. But
then the article was no longer "prac-
ticable," as they say on the stage. The

that he had cut it in two and mounted
It as a pair of wall brackets. 1t is
commonly supposed that peers coro-
nets, like royal diadems, are Of gold.
That is not so. They are Of silver,
"richly gilt" as in the case of yester-
days bauble. This particular one bore
the hall mark of 1881, which suggests
that it may have been made for the
coronation of William Nv. That there
should be so little competition for coro-
nets in their material form Is ex-
planned by the rarity with which they
are worn. There are probably not half
a dozen peers living who have ever had
one. They are worn only at corona
ton, aud then, at the moment when the
archbishop Of Canterbury places the
crown on the soverelgn's head, the as
sembled peers and peeresses slmulta-
neously put on their silver circlets with
their crimson velvet caps. Indeed, It
may be shrewdly suspected that most
peers do not even possess this tangible
badge of their rank.

10000 MEN FOR CUBA.
A Vast Army to BE Landed IS sOOn 40
TRANSPORTS Are Secured.

Transports Are Secured.
WASHINGTON, May 10. Between
60, 900 and $4,000 men will be landed
On Cuban soil at once. They will
wear the uniform 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 Cavite fortress
in Manila harbor. This is the idea of
the military advisers Of the admins
tration, and the president has APP
proved the plans.
The first section OF the army to in
wade Cuba will be the, $4,000 or IS, 900
troops that are now assembled at New
Orleans and Tampa. They are all
regulars, and most of them are men
who have seen actual fighting on the
plains. They are seasoned, dis
ciplined, effective. They will be fol-
lowed at once by another army of 5O.-
900 volunteers who will be concentrat-
ed at Southern ports as quickly as the
trains can carry them and will be
transported as fast as the necessary
ships can be collected.
1t is estimated that it will take at
least 800 vessels to carry this immense
army to Cuba Nearly everything
that floats has already been secured
by the government, and last night the
wires were hot in all directions, di-
recting contracts to be closed imme-
diately in all the principal seaport

She was sobbing passiOnately, and
the scalding tears ran down her poor,
pale face and over her little cold hands.
They recalled her to herself. mo,

She unlocked drawer in her ward

Dick which she had hidden out Of Lord
Aylmer's way. MY love, my dear love,
1 will trust you and believe you" she
murmured fondly. II will not give way
again. will be brave"
She heard the carriage draw up with
the usual jingle and dash, and hastily
locked the portrait away again. Then
she bathed her face in cold water, and
tried to remove the alas! unmistak-
able signs of tears from her eyes. Not
very successfully, though she went out
Immediately afterwards, walked into
the drawing room and found there
Lord Aylmer.
Lord Aylmer~ she cried, then went
quickly across the room to him. ooh!
1 am so very glad to see you, she cried.
81 did not know you were in town"
II came up last night, dear lady," he
said, taking both her hands in his and
speaking in a very soft and tender
voice. But you are i'll, you are not
recovered, you are unhappy about
something"
"I?" murmured Dorothy, evasively,
ooh! 1 am not so very well-but-"
"But you have been crying" said
Lord Aylmer, still keeping her hands in
his.
Perhaps" Dorothy admitted.
Perhaps! 1 am sure of it," he re-
turned. But what is the matter? If
there is anything that l can do, you
know that you have only to command
me-"
He laid stress on the words you
know" which in any other circum-
stances would have been enough to put
Dorothy on her guard. Now, however,
with her thoughts filled with Dick and
his strange and inexplicable silence,
she did not notice the unusual tone.
"Ohw she cried impulsively, there is
something you could do for me if you
would"
WHAT" he said eagerly. Tell me-"
But Dorothy did not tell him. She
wanted to say, 81 am Dicks wife, am
so wretched and so unhappy at his alb
sence. Let him come home, and 1 will
love and reverence you forever"
That was what she wanted to say;
but when she was face to face with the
opportunity, her courage failed her, and
she was afraid.

CHAPTER XXIX.-(Continued.)
For long time Lord Aylmer sat lost
in angry thought. So this was the
meaning of Dicks sudden surrender,
his dutiful acquiescence with his UNI
cle's wishes. There had been no break
ing Of his chains when he set sail for
the East, no burning of his boats be-
hind him. Not a bit of 1t! No; the
young gentleman had quietly-ay, and
very cleverly-made the best OF what
to him was very bad and very dis
tasteful business, and intended to car
ry on the Palace Mansions arrange
ment in Madras just as he had done
in London.
But somebody else had to be dealt
with, the old lords grim thoughts ran
somebody else with brain good
deal shrewder than Dicks, and will
like cold steel. Lord Aylmer would
have something to do and say in the
matter Of Mrs. Harris intended voy-
age to India, and he had no notion
whatever of allowing his nephew,
whom he cordially detested, to carry
out all his arrangements in triumph,
and In spite of him.
He reused himself presently, and
went to the table, where writing ma
terials were lying. Then he forced him
self to write an ordinary letter to Dick,
telling him he was in town for few
days, but was off to Aylmer's Field to-
morrow; that my lady was better and
he trusted Dick would bear In mind
that he had to reinstate himself in his
uncle's good graces, that he might get
over the disappointment caused by his
refusal to marry Mary Annantale, and
therefore he trusted he would spare no
pains to make himself Indispensable
to his old friend, Barry Boynton. And
at the end of this meaningless and
commonplace letter Lord Aylmer made
an addition, which, like the scorpions
tail, contained the sting:
"P. s.-By-the-bye, you will be in

Onions Vsrrua Gold.

A young man lately went west, as so
many do. to seek his fortune in the
gold and silver districts. Thousands
were dreaming Of the gold and silver
veins and the wealth of Monte Cristo
or Of Croesus. But this fellow, after
looking about him, took cool survey
Of the food possibilities OF this country
for one year. And he discovered that
the market would be short on that
homely vegetable-onions. So he set
to work and bought up onions. In
fact, he cornered onions. And in less
than two years he made a fortune Of
over 100000. l-

piled. She, poor child, had never adj
mitted as much to her cousin, but she
was prepared for the worst that could
possibly happen. Dicks long silence
was beginning to tell upon her, and
she was not recovering as quickly as
might be desired; indeed, her doctor
and her cousin, too, were for the most
part thoroughly uneasy about her. And
yet, she had now been nearly six weeks
without a line from Dick-Dick, who
had left her with such fond words of
love on his lips-ay, and in his eyes;
Dick, who knew that now, Of all times,
letters would be Of greater value than
ever they had been, when she was left
alone in her hour Of trial. Yet he had
not written, there was no answer to the
telegram announcing the boys birth,
there had come no WORD nor sign out
Of the dark Darkness Of hope and fear,
doubt and despair, which was gradually
creeping over her.
And after all, she told herself, It was
not to be wondered at IL Dick had got
a little tired Of her-a stupid little
thing like her, as ignorant as a child.

The State Journal blows the trum-
pet for sundry Wall street capitalists
who have rendered fast yachts to the
government, aud undertakes to rebuke
the presumptuous spirit who dares
question the methods by which these
gentry got possession of such trihing
thing as a million dollar steam yacht.
According to the Journals logic
temporary tender of such a floating
palace TO the government places the
holder of it beyond criticism. Then
let Joe BARLEY charter a steam tug
and tender the use of it to Governor
Holcomb for transporting the Nebras-
ka national guards to Cuba. He might
do it with very few thousand dollars
of the half million stolen from the
school children of the state, and there
by make OF himself an illustrious pa
triot in the eyes OF the State Journal
Yet there are men on Wall street to-
day whose steam yachts were stolen
from the mouths of little children in
New York City-and from the backs
of farmers wives on the prairies Of
Nebraska and Kansas-whose stealing
is as much worse than Joe Bartley's as
hell is darker than midnight. These
men and the methods by which they
became millionaires shall not escape
the attention of an outraged public,
though they hire thousand she-asses
to bray their patriotism upon million
hills. Nebraska Independent.

WHY ONE MAN IS BITTER!

HIS Young Sister BouEht the Violets
to Send to HIS Sweetheart.
St. Valentines daysis a sad reminder
to a young man on l street. a year
ago during the second week of Febru-
airy he had an attack of the grip, says
the Washington Post. He wanted to
send charming young woman some
violets, and was compelled to ask
very young sister to buy them for him.
He snappishly refused to tell for what
purpose he wanted the flowers, for he
had grip and his head ached. The young
girl returned with a box neatly wrapped
in paper. The young man slipped his
card in without untying the package,
and bribed his little brother to carry
the Offering to the object of his atten-
tions. That evening the young sister
visited the sickroom.
"Did you like the violetsP" she asked.
didn't look at them"
''They were Beauties" said the girl.
"I got them at special sale. They
were marked down from one dollar to
so cents-great big bunch, too"
"a big bunch of real violets for 80
cents-great big bunch, too"
"a big bunch of real violets for 80
cents at this time of the year!" said
the sick man.
"Real violets!" echoed the sister.
"Real violets! Why, you didn't say any
thing about real violets. / thought
they were for mammals bonnet. l
bought artificial violets!"
The young man had never attempted
to explain the matter to the young lady
who received the flowers, but if you
talk to him about the natural intelli-
gence of young girls you will find him
nightly bitter and gloomy on the sub
| iect.
