there was an evident constraint be-
tween her and the general, for, beyond
an inquiry from him as to her mothers
health, and a reply that she was still
an invalid, no word passed. We trotted
on, wondering at the strange meeting
and what would come of it, continued
beating of hoofs and clanking of sabers
behind us. untilwe reached plantation
in the center of which stood q square
house, in it's front one Of those porticos

the girl and entered the gateway and
rode up to the house. ~ F
And now happened something which,
had not looked up at the very moment
I did, would have turned the whole cur

not worth the telling. What put it into

s So
my boots tossed my forage-cap on the
table-in short, made the preparations
for bed OF soldier in the field. Then,
having blown out the candle that light
ed my room, I lay down.
But slumber would not come. Either
the sentry in the hall must strike
match to light his pipe, or a dog in the
yard must be moaning, while the hall
clock licked loud enough to awaken the
Seven Sleepers- disturbances that
would not have troubled me had it not
been that my head was full of Margaret
Beach and her singular surroundings.
However, at last fell asleep.
Suddenly awoke. The light in the
hall had gone out, and could hear the
sentry snoring. There was creaking
on the stairway. Some one was coming
down, pausing at every step. Straining
my eyes, I saw dimly human figure
standing on the lowest step, which was
directly opposite my door. Then it dis,
appeared.
Rising quickly, I stepped softly to the
door just in time to catch sight of some
one moving toward the rear of the
house. I followed. A door opened, and
the figure passed through. Catching
the door before it closed, I looked into
kitchen. A stove door opened, and

was helped by reputedsmore favorable

st. Clair McKciway.
Before the Sphinx club at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, New York, the other even
Ing, Mr.. st. Clair McKelwey. editor of
the Brooklyn Eagle. said among other
things:
IA dvertisers and newspaper men to-
gether make the character OF, a public
Journal. The editorial page. all contra
dictIon to the contrary notwithstanding,
Is the most important page OF the news
paper. The news pages, by their fair
ness, their cleanness. their intelligence
and their enterprise. largely make evil
dent the ability and resources OF the
sheet. But the editorial pnge reflects
not only the ability. but the character
OF the journal; Its virtue as well as Its
vigor; its conscience as well as its ca
pacitles; Its courage Us well as Its con-
science. The editorial page indicates
the quality OF. the constituency Of a
newspaper. l know that It could not
get along without the news pages, but I
also know that the news pages would
get along In llnping and hating fashion
without the editorial page Recall news
papers with poor editorial pages or with
none but with bright news pages. They
may have vogue, but they do not have
influence. They may have circulation,
but they do not have power. They may
be able to say things and to spread
things, but they cannot do things and
cannot get things done. And the exact
measure Of their impotency is suggest
ed by the blare of their claims OF efIl-
cheney and OF accomplishment. Happily
these newspapers OF hlare ore Just few
enough to be as distinctive as repulsive,
and desirable to differentIate them
selves from the general journalism that,
at home and abroad was never more
respectable and more honored than It Is
to-day.
II give short duration to the jour
nalism OF dirt. defamation. demagogv
and boastlnS. That journalism, In all It's
few examples, is becoming the victim OF
throat-cutting competition and Of n
reciprocal evisceration: and the other
journalism. holding It's steady course,
| was never more prosperous and never
more deservedly so than now. expect
that 1t will still further improve. l con-
cede that the great advertisers have
greatly improved 1t. Their announce
ments have the charm of narrative,
They have the sequence OF argument.
They have the attraction OF fancy.
They have the incentive and the decor
alton OF metaphor. of literary allusIon,
at times OF poetry itself"
