She danced with him, she talked to
him; more than one amused glance
followed them-she with her dark
Venetian beauty, he with his Saxon
loneliness; they seemed to have for
gotten the world. Once Sir Marc
took her to the great western window
in the broad corridor, and, drawing
aside the hangings, he said, looking
intently at her with his dark gray
eyes:
you will not wish to return To
Venice? You would be content to re-
main in England all your life?"
She raised her beautiful face; the
dark eyes looked at the blue wintry
night-sky, at the fair white earth, at
the quaint shadows the moon made
through the trees; and then she
turned to Sir Marc.
Venice would seem prison to me
after this" she said; and as she SAID

bright and pleased.

What is that?" asked Veronica.

before his.
Her heart beat; a strange pain, that
was yet half pleasure. seemed to thrill
her innocent soul.

Sir Marc; and for that evening al

bright hopeful, pleasant, full OF
poetry. full of wonder and romancel
The time came when Veronica began
to wonder what It was that had fallen
over her life. What was the dazzling
light that had fallen at her feet?
Why was IL that from morning to
night and from night to morning she
had but one thought. and that was
about Marc Caryll?
Christmas had passed now. and the
beautiful springtide had set In. The
air was balmy with the sweet breath
of flowers. yet 81; Jasper had not re-
covered much of his strength. The
doctors would not allow him TO re-
turn to his duties; he must rest II he
would live. III vain the active. en-
ereetic statesman rebelled. He re-
fused for a time to submit, until he
saw the absolute necessity for It..
Then he found Lord Wynleigh OF great
use TO him. He had been returned
as member for Hurstwood, and had
made his maiden speech: to every
body's great surprise, II was simply a
masterpiece of eloquence. Sir Jas
per gave Up some of his duties to the
young politician, about whom people
prophesied great things,
The baronet was very pleased 1t
had always been a source of sorrow to
him that he had no son to succeed to
young pobleman in whom all Kathe-
rines happiness seemed to be conferred.
When respondent thoughts came TO
him. he said to himself that he should
have u successor. He insisted upon
Lady Brandons taking Katherine and
Veronica to London for part of the
season AZ least, and nothing pleased
him better than co read her ladyship's
letter in which she told of veronica's
successes and triumphs

Lady Brandon had been in town a
few weeks. she decided upon return

the doctor attending him did not
think IL advisable that he should de-
lay consulting some eminent physician.
So they went home again. and, as he
looked at his two daughters. the mas
ter of Queens Chace was struck afresh.
Katherine's animated loveliness and
Veronica's pale beauty seemed to have
acquired fresh lustre.
Those few weeks in town had Won
aerfully improved Veronica; they had
given a finish and elegance to her such

Washington, Jan. 20.-In the senate
Mr.. Turner (dem., Wash.) took the
floor after the routine business and ad-
dressed the senate on the anti-expan-
sion resolution OF hIr. Vest. He de-
MED the contention that the acquisi-
ton of far distant territory had been
forced upon this country by the arbi-
trament of war. Our only course was
to give the islands back to the Filipinos
for the purpose of independence and
liberty, he said. This, he believed,
was tle proper course to pursue. The
sovereignty of this country would moi
be impeached by such generous action.
The Nicaraguan canal bill was then
taken up, Mr.. Allison (rep., Ia
speaking in favor of his
amendment introduced Wednesday.
Mr.. Allison's amendment authorized
the secretary of the treasury to issue
bonds to raise money with which to
construct the canal. Mr.. Allison spoke
briefly, advocating the amendment. MIR.
Morgan. (dem., Ala.) replied, urging
that the amendment be withdrawn, as
it forced the financial question into
the discussion. After a general discus
sion, which was participated in by
Messrs. Sewell (rep., N. j., Chandler

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 15.-In the senate
Mr.. Spooner (rep., Wis., took Mr.. Al
len tpop., Neb.) sharply to task for dis
crediting the report of the war inves-
tigating commission before it was
made. The incident occurred while MIR.
Allen was speaking in advocacy of his
resolution for the appointment OF a
committee of five to investigate the
conduct of the late war. He said he
had no desire to embarrass the presi-
dent, but so many complaints have
been made. he thought it time for a
rigid impartial investigation. He de-
clared he had no confidence in the
'Alger relief commission" now con-
Quoting the investigation.
Mr.. Hoar (Tep., Mass.) introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, that the people of the

ed to consideration of the pending
Nicaraguan canal bill. Speeches were
made in support of the measure 10y

er (rep.. Wash) and in opposition to

that the United States should have alb
Solute control of the canal for military
or naval purposes, with power to -
tace the use of the waterway during

ment and it was defeated by the de-
eisive vote of 80 to 8. A provision was
