The laugh relieved the strained situa

and ratified it off glibly. There was some
light comment from somebody and Lottie
slipped out into the hallway. She was not
missed and no one noticed when Tom
frlnCe stepped IelSurelE 10 the uoor VI the
parlor and followed. He found her there,
with wide, frightened eyes which would
dare to lock at him now that they were
alone.
"Lottie." he said simply.
"Oh. Tom" she whispered. her eyes fill

And as she slipped into his arms with
happy little sigh the piano sounded once
more from the parlor. the laughter and

German Colonizine a Failure.

Prince Bismarck's plan to Germanize
Prussian Poland by buying up Polish
estates and settling Germans on them
has proved a failure. The PrussiaD
chambers nine years ago established a
fund Of 100000, 900 marks for this pur-
pose. The Polish mobiles sold their
heavily mortgaged estates to the Gov
eminent readily. but, instead Of emf
grating, bought with the money other
estates in the country from Germans
and gathered around them Polish Ia
borers. The only result of the expert
ments has been to benefit the Polish
land owners of Posen.
