Charles laughed again at this. and
then, still testing and grumbling, they
quilted the room.
Madeline glanced at Marjorie to see
If she had noticed this bit of by-piay,
and perceiving from her face that she
had. she sighed family. and said
"You see, Marjorie, all is not gold
that glitters. My cousins usually pass
for very well-behaved young men.
daresay you have thought them 30.
But you observe they can on occasion
be disrespectful to their uncle. and
make jest of sacred things. Did you
notice, Marjorie?"
II saw Edgar was very-began
Marjorie but Madeline stopped her,
rather sharply.
"It was not Edgar alone" she cried,
adding, after moment, with great
energy and significance: Whatever
Edgar's faults may be, Charles has
worse"
Marjorie made no reply to this.
Knowing how passionately Madeline
loved Edgar, she was far too generous
natured to say another word against
him; and, moreover, her heart was
heavy as she thought of her own lover.
Loyal, loving little soul though she
was, she could not help feeling that
he had lowered himself greatly in her
esteem.
Marjorie was no Puritan.
Her religion was Of . sweet, simple,
cheerful kind. with NO admixture OF
gloom or bitterness about it.
She was the last in the world to be
severe on other peoples faults
But it hurt her to think her lover
could make an open jest-even in her
presence-o4 sacred things, and it hurt
her still more that he should sneer at
his uncle who, she felt sure, had been
the best and kindest of friends to both
him and Edgar.
Madeline had once remarked that
they owed all they had to him.
Marjorie's whole soul revolted
against anything like ingratitude.
And SO she sat secretly mourning her
lovers shortcomings, though not low
ing him one whit the less because OF
them.
There had been such charm in that
frank smile and sunny glance OF his
as had completely won her heart.
She could nottake back lightly what
she had SO fully given.
She and Madeline spent great part
of the morning with their prayer
books, but it may be questioned wheth-
er either of them was really able to
fix her thoughts on what she read.
Certainly it was relief to both when
the gentlemen came home for luncheon.
Early in the afternoon, the sky,
which had been fairly bright in the
morning, clouded over, and became a
dull, dreary grey, while soaking rain
came down.
It rained without intermission all
through the afternoon and evening.
The dullness of the day seemed to
cast shadow on the spirits OF almost
everybody at Denelands
Madeline spent the greater part OF
the afternoon sitting at the window,

Marjorie stood on the threshold
agbast, dreading to be seen. and yet,
for the moment, feeling in her agita-
ton, almost powerless to retire.
Edgar, Edgar think of yourself,
think of me, think Of"
Her voice broke into convulsive
sob, and Marjorie could not catch the
word.
The mans brow was black as night.
He scowled fercely on the beautiful
woman who was now clinging frantic
ally to his knees, uttering an impreca-
ton, and shook her off so violently
that she fell forward on the hearth
rug with deep, fearless sob, as if her
heart was broken.
Marjorie stole away, still unseen.
She shut herself up in her chamber
and racked her brain vainly in efforts
to discover what these things could
mean. e 44,s...,s4

CHAPTER TX.
st. Valentines Eve.

81. NdlGnLlnC HVC.
The next day was Sunday, and St.
Valentines Eve.
Mr.. Hyde, who had, Of course, been
deeply concerned at hearing of the ice
accident, which might SO easily have
been fatal, would not hear of either
Madeline or Marjorie attending Devine
service at the church.
He himself went, and his nephews,
though not without some little demur,
accompanied him.
Out of this a little incident arose,
which rather diseomposed Marjorie.
Now, young men," said the uncle,
as he rose from the breakfast table,
if you intend to get to church this
morning, it is high time you began to
think about it"
Edgar made slight grimmace be-
hind his uncle's back.
Edgar hesitated. and said something
about it's being lonely for the ladies to
be left at home by themselves.
Don't you trouble about the ladies.
NV bow" said Mr.. Hyde, cheerily, and
vet with look of slight vexation on
his rudy, good-humoured face. You'll
excuse them-eh. my dears?"
Madeline assented languidly.
Marjorie looked up, and said, with
energy
ooh. please don't stay at home on
our account. We would much rather
YOU went to church, wouldn't we, Mad
eline?"
"That settles it. Come, my boys.
Let us make a start" said Mr.. Hyde,
cheerily still but with an air which
showed he expected to be obeyed.
He left the room the next moment,
and his eldest nephew very cody
made a gesture of derision behind his
back.
This did not greatly Surprise Mar
jorie. She was prejudiced against Ed
gar, and expected nothing better from
him
But what did surprise, and grleVe
her too. was that Charles should laugh
at the gesture, as if he approved OF it.,
clapping his brother On the back the
while, and muttering something in his
car which convulsed them both with
laughter.
"A pottering old Puritan!" said Ed
gar, beneath his breath: why can't
he leave us alone? Goodness knows
he does enough psalm-singing for the

WHEELER'S CHOICE.

General Joe Wheeler, after long deliberating between military and civic careers, has decided to lay aside the sword and take up the less important duties of a Congress- man. It has been the Presidi- dents often expressed wish to be- stow upon General Wheeler one of the brigadier-generalships creat- ed by the new army bill, but after consultation with the distinguished Alabamian the purpose has been laid aside,
 When, last year, Gen. Wheeler was elected to represent his old district in Congress by the voter, of all political parties, he then said that, unless his country needed hi.

The attempt to bribe the Attor- ney General of Ohio illustrates trust methods and is another evi- dence of the utter disregard of law by these combinations.
 The case is not singular. Trusts which are pronounced un- lawful by legislature and courts cannot maintain themselves with out corruption. Corruption of public officials is condition of immunity. Directly or indirectly the public service must be debased if lawbreakers are to have their will.
 These combinations are forbid den in nearly every state in the Union. A federal law agalnst them has been sustained by the Supreme Court. The cool con-
 I
 tempt for law displayed by trust officials stamps them as anarchists more dangerous to the safety of society than the lunatics whose occasional outbreaks are directed only against the persons of officials or citizens. The trust strikes at law itself, the foundation of so- ciety, without which neither per son nor property is safe.
 This bribery case will open mems eyes to the truth about these combines. After such rev citations nobody can deny that they are a menance to liberty and subversive of government itself.- Post Dispatch.

services in the field, he would withdraw from the army and serve his people in the national legislature. In consonance with that determination he has reached the place where he leaves the ways of war to take up once more the duties of peace.
 It has been the fortune of few men to be, like Joe Wheeler, a he TO in two of the most memorable wars in their country's history. He feels that he is grown to old for hardships and strain of the battlefield. But his experience and counsel may still prove in- valuable aids to his country in the council chamber and in the halls of Congress.
 It Is tribute to Gen. Wheeler s character that he appreciates as deeply as he does the opportunity which President Mckinley gave himself and other distinguished ex-confederates appointed to mili- tary commands during the war. Whatever others may think of the motives that actuated the Presi- dent, these appointees, their kim dred, friends, neighbors and fel- low veterans believe that Mr. Me Kinley was inspired by sentiments of patriotism and by iberality and sincerity of purpose.-St. Louis Republic.

UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOOKS.

All proposed innovations in the conduct of the public school sys- tenn should be carefully considered before they are made. Any change in the method of adopting text books for use in the scho ols should not be permitted unless sanctioned by the people-those who invest their money in these books. This right should not be denied them. It IS good Democratic doctrine and one that should always be adhered 10.
 It was for the reason that the lower house of the general asse m- bly, defeated the bill providing for state uniformity of text books ir

The recent criticism of condi- tions existing in Arkansas bv a Canadian journal prompted a defense by a citizen of this city. II 1t were deemed necessary to compare the state of civilization existing in the south with that of the Dominion an instance could be found at the execution ot a woman at St. Scholastique, Quebec. Nowhere in the south would such outrageous conduct have been permitted as is said to have occurred at this execution. It IS related in an apparently truthful dispatch that six hun, dred men. most of whom had spent the night carousing, saw Mrs. Cordelia Poirier and her companion, Samuel Parslow, hanged at S:04 o'clock Friday morning. Outside were 2,OOO more. and by means of a batter ing ram they tried to break in the gates of the jail-yard. The provincial police present were compelled to use revolvers to make the crowd desist and a number of shots were fled in the air The mob outside the prison was yelling, howling one. and when the drop fell they set mp a cheer which lasted for several minutes. Inside the crowd first confined itself to ieerins and making jokes. and when the drop had fallen they made a com. bined rush for the gallows. The police had to beat them back and from the scaffold Father Meloche exhorted them in the name of Christianity and decen- cv to deslst. The entire execu- tion was characterized by the most disgraceful. sceues.-L R. Democrat.
