and least of all did | wish to worry

ter12jned to fathom it, and unbuckling
my sword, placed it on a table so as to
be Ceady on the instant, and then, seat
ing myself on a stool beside it, said
somewhat sharply:
Enough, my girl; get me some wine,
"a nd take out some to my servant This
will pay for it, and rang a fat crown
piece on the table. Hurry your fat her
If you can, and | will be gone the mo-
rnent my horse is shod."
My tone was one not to be denied,
and taking up the money, she turned to
a cupboard, and with shaking fingers
drew a bottle therefrom and placed it
before me. Filling cup | asked her to
bear it back to Jacques, and then lean
ing back against the wall, took a pull
at nay goblet, and judge of my surprise
when l found | was tasting nothing
short of d'ArboiS of the 90 vintage!
IC was getting dark now within the
roon3, over which the flames of the fire
occasionally blazed up and cast a fitful
and uncertain light. Outside, however,
there was a mocn, and in a few min

Journey, without having discovered what

help being little amused at the man

Nom du diable! | am sick of this,
and hungry as wolf. Give me my sup

As he spoke distinctly saw his hand
Indicate me, and with an alarmed cry
the girl sprang between us. 1t flashed
upon me that my gentleman was, after
ALI, only some one who was wanted, and
that he regarded me with as much ap-
prehension as | regarded him with
caution.
'Tush!" said, you good people make

DONG AND DREAMING.

Oh could | llft." dreamer cried,
~These bitter burdens of the poor,
Grant them the joys of life denied,
Soften the sorrows they endure,
Tighten the cloud of ignorance
For all the helpless, hopeless throng,
And win them some deliverance
From british cruelty and wrong
What blessedness could life contain
To equal this? Alas that still
The dear desire should be in vain,
The power be lacking to the will!'
Upon his way the dreamer went,
Nor needed what he left undone,
When helping hands he might have lent
To many an overIwearied one.
HIS soaring fancies far outran
The hungry child he could have fed,
Ard overlooked the sad old man
That kind word had comforted.
Poor dreamer!-an poor heart of mine
That haply equal pity needs
What blessedness were surely thine
Had dreaming given place to deeds!

Later still, Allen G. Thur

President on tho Cleveland ticket,
declared that this incidental robber
taxation had risen to the sum of
200, OOO, 900 per annum. And later
still, when the Dingley bill, which
received the votes of Senator Nc
Emery and four members of the
House from Louisiana, was under
consideration, the New York Herald
employed q body of experts, and
sent them to Washington and other
localities to make a thorough inves-
tigatiou of the amount Of this plum.
der under the Mckinley bill, q milder
scheme Of protection than the Ding
Icy bill. These experts inquired into
every branch of trade and made
perhaps the most thorough and
extraordinary inquiry ever made Of
this nature, and the result proved
that the amount of incidental taxa
ton growing out Of the protective
system had risen from six hundred
millions, when Senator Coke made
his estimate to the time Of the work
ing Of the Mckinley bill, to one
billion two hundred aud fifty mil
lions OF dollars.
A very little calculation will show
how the enormous sums represented
in these trusts may control the whole
country, the whole assessed value Of
the property of which is eighty five
billions of dollars. No measure Of
human ability and energy honestly
exerted could have accumulated
these vast sums. It is estimated
that tho nine trusts, exclusive Of
Pierpont Morgan's little baby trust
of one billion, can buy out lock
stock and barrel, ten importan,
States of the Union. Is it not en-
tirely plain that with this system o.
accumulation, amounting now t.
more than q billion and a quarter
per annum, they will soon be able Il
purchase the whole country; or that
if they do not desire to buy the prop
erty, they will be able absolutely +
control the elections of the countr!
and run the government for thei
own interests. If the people are no
corrupt, there is no denying that tn
political machinery of the countr,
is rotten to the core.
And what is the remedyi 1t i
idle to talk of resisting and control
ing these tremendous, these NOR
strous corporations, by District Al
torneys by Courts. 1t just can't b
done. The only thing to do is to pu
