my abstraction l have lost the keys.
l am fortunate, after retracing my
steps only half a block, to find them
lying where they fell. And here Is
the house. It is imposing from b
of the n Aonita admired. 1t would
be a coincidence. IL she came to this
land of independence and erected an
establishment to suit her fancy.
The interior decorations are COM

sensation that someone resides here
now. The staircase has the very rail-
ing we ordered for our new house in
Paris.
Memoryi why do you haunt me
thus? l wish to live in the present.
Help me to forget the past-do not
recall it continually!
A breakfast room. The breakfast
room to me! Am I dreaming? 1t is
idle, foolish, to be thus unnerved. I
am not in Paris. Soul of my soul, I
surrender! l am again in Jul lost
paradise.
Every room reminds me of you,
dear, but where is yourself?
There must be an atelier-all artists
have them-and every woman Of Paris
has the soul Of an artist. She may
trim her bonnet to perfection, or broil
a partridge to suit the fastidious cpl
cure; be her accomplishment what it
may, if she come from Paris, she is an
artist par excellence.
At last I reach her studio. Here
she painted the portrait of myself--it
was a pastel, one of her best. Here,
too, was finished the picture which
made her famous. How the critics
marveled that vanishing day!" Idly
I watched the graceful strokes Of her
brush-to live again through the dolce
far niente of that season!
All! Heaven! can she be hidden, as
Of old, by that screen? Alas! for
human hope! Here is the easel I made
for her-crude and unshapely-but she
praised my attempt.
Why did that man wish to torture
me? Why was 1 given the key to this
chamber of memories? What is this

Maybe he was so satisfied with his
survey of one Of the places that he
decided to remain for a night. Per-
haps it is the haunted house. He is
just the cool sort of fellow who would
try to fathom that mystery"
When they found the door to No.

searched the house. In the atelier
they found a lot of dusty furniture,
and in n corner Of the large room
was the form of a man. Prone upon
the floor he lay, and under him a
shattered golden box.

senator TurnbuIrs Letter Praised.

Reedy, Lunenburg Co., Va, June 7. 1899.
TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Much has been written and said con-
corning the so-called ''land-gTabbers
act" 1t has been denounced by good
many men fully capable. as l thought
of constructing the law, and l frankly adj
NIT that / did not understand the act
until read communication i'm the Dis
patch of the 10th ultimo, from the Hon.
Robert Turnbull, senator from Bruins
wick. which article / read with care and
much interest.
| take this opportunity 10 congratulate
the Hon. Robert Turnbull, Senator from
Brunswick, on account of the interest he
manifested in behalf of his constituents,
in framing and aiding in having enacted
the bill i'm question, and 1 think every
taxpayer of Virginia should do likewise.
If Senator Turnbulrs version of 1t is
correct land 1 do not question IL at ALI,
as he clearly demonstrates In his article,
he has lifted a burden from the tax
payers of Virginia by framing, and be-
ing instrumental In enacting the law in
question, and in consequence thereof he
should be cordially congratulated at the
doors Of Justice by every taxpayer OF
Virginia.
The act has been severely criticised
by some as being of fraudulent intent and
making inroads upon personal and pri-
yate rights. but after reading the article
by Senator Turnbull over ana over again
| am fully satisfied that the law has
been unjustly criticised in the extreme
by those who have not taken the trouble
to investigate and arrive at the actual
facts in regard 10 II.
Perhaps the greatest howl against
this act Is made by those who have
bought land at very low figures, on
which there was considerable amount
Of taxes due, and who wanted to be
screened from paying the delinquent tax.
Again. the law in question will induce
Taxpayers in the future to pay their
taxes promptly. JUSTICE.
