She scrubbed also message to Miss
Wilmington, and when John had de-
parted and she was looking down the
engagement book to see whether any
notes Of excuse would be necessary Alan
Stacey got up and began walking rest
leasly about the room. At last he stop
ped in front of her table.
"What are you doing nowf" he
asked.
II was just looking whether ! should
have to write to any one-excuses, you
know"
He stood with his hands thrust deep
down into his trousers pockets eying
her approvingly.
"You'rs q wonderful little woman,
Mary" he said in very tender tone.
She smiled at at him and put out her
hand to touch his.
I'm glad you think so, she said in
rather quavering voice.
"Oh, my dear, my dear, I always
think 80 he said passionately. ut was
the luckiest day Of my life when met
you."
"And what" said she, "do you
think that it must have been for mef''
She was at that moment on the very
point Of breaking down and telling him
everything. Then the sound Of the sob
in her own voice frightened her. No.
che could not, must not, dared not, tell
him just now-now, when be had the
weight Of great book upon his mind,
the anxiety Of large contract before
him, when he was in measure nerve
broken and anxious and depressed. No;
she must keep the secret at least for q
time It would be selfish to do other
wise. She owed 1t, even if it was a sin,
as a small return for all that Alan
Stacey had poured ont at her feet She
owed it to him. In this instance silence
was her duty.

Terrible Massacre in Form sa

Vancouver, B. c., May 1S.-Formosa
advices give details of terrible mas
sacre in the vicinity of Taiko, a town
in the central district. Thirty unarmed
villagers were ambushed by about 60
savages, who killed 20 of them. Only
one escaped. The cause of the massa-
ere Is said to have been dispute be-
tween savage tribes over the paternity
of an Legitimate child and the death
of Its mother. The reputed father OF
the child denied the charge, and re-
fused to make compensation to the
tribe to which the girl belonged.

steps In the celebrated counterfeit case
are likely to be taken In the United
States court until the arraignment Of
the eight defendants on May 20. It Is

ments are regarded as severe as could
well be framed, and the three bills re-
turned as true against Ingham and
hewitt by the grand Jury are thought
to cover every phase Of the case. Ine
other six defendants have all signitied

BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
Gov. AItgeld Resigns From the Dem.
Ocratic National Committee.

CHICAGO, June "A special to the
Time s-Herald from Louisville says:
John 2. Altgeld intends to be free from
any official connection with the democratic
committee when he takes up the cudgels
for Bryan and sixteen to one. His selection
by the Ohio Valley Bimetallic League as
leader of the "co-operation" in behalf of
Bryan and free silver was followed by his
declaration of his intention TO resign from
the ways and means committee of the
democratic national committee.
Yes, | am going to resign" he said. THE
ways and means committee is but a sub
committee whose main dutiss were the ras-
ing of funds. l think we have served long
enough, and [ intend to step aside and give
some one else d chance. / believe the other
members will resign, too"
Politicians here regard this as ampla con-
firmation of the inference that the Hi
noisan is now Mr.. Bryan's campaign mana
ger. They say that as chairman of the Co
opera tors' he is more than likely to cali for
contributions to the cause Of 1G to /. Should
the democratic rational committee relegate
that issue TO the rear, he would have to
quit one position or the other As silver is
his chief love, his declaration of intention
to resign is viewed as seizing tims by the
foreloCk.

Large Number of the Railway Con.
dUctOrs Call Upon the
President.

Among the few White House callers to-
ment as to the Spanish ration turning over
to Germany certain islands in proximity to
the Philippines. The question, at least
caused no excitement and no talk of re-
sentiment. 1t was recalled that long before
the conclusion Of the peace negotiations
with Spain stories were current that Ger
many had purchased the Caroline Islands
The stories were not then officially investi-
gated, as the administration recognized that
Spain had right to dispose of these pos
sessions.
Secretary Hay did not confer with the
President on the subject today, and If there
has been talk between the two men it was
yesterday afternoon or evening. Secretary
Hay remained with the President only a
few minutes after the reception TO the Span
ish minister this morning.
About 300 members OF the Order of Rail
way Conductors, including lady friends
visited the White House this morning and
were received by the President. The mem

to avoid conflict at arms but his firm
