Yet you would receive his child"
He is of my own race, but his
father is alien to it. He has noble
blood in his veins. His father has
none. He has no claim on me; nor
will ever acknowledge one"
my lord" said the lawyer, Il will
go still farther. l will speak even more
strongly. What you propose to do is
wicked. Pardon the word; it is simply
wicked, and l will have nothing to do
with it,"
THAT is at your own option re-
turned Lord Carlswood haughtily.
IF you decline to manage my affairs,
there are plenty who will gladly under
take the office. My resolve is made,
and | shall not depart from it. If my
granddaughter will give up her hus-
band, and promise never to see him
again, | will receive her here; if not
we continue strangers. Nothing will
induce me to change my resolve"
The two gentlemen were now stand
ing facing each other, each one ex-
cited and eager.
What has the man done, my lord
that you should seek to tempt from
him a wife he loves? 1t is not his
fault that she is a Carlswood. He gave
her all he had-his love, his heart, his
name; he has been proud to work for
her; he loves her. Why should you part

II have suffered myself" said the
old lord remulously-"every one suf-
fers,'
How would you have felt, my lord
if any one had sought to tempt Lady
Carlswood from you?"
The Master of Bralyn held up his
fine white hand with a warning ges-
ture.
You have the privilege of speaking
plainly" he said; do not abuse it. Do
not institute comparisons; there can
be none between such a man and my
self. 1t is absurd to suppose that he
would have sensitive or refined feel
ings. | have no doubt that goodly
sum of money will make ample amends
to him for the loss of his wife. What
did you say, Mr. Ford?'
Il said. may Heaven pardon you my
lords"
Thank you" was the sarcastic re-
turn. The honor of my name is dearer
to me than anything on earth, besides
how dear. even you could not tell.

II seemed almost incredible to Mr.
Ford that such wonderful success
should have attended him. True Lord

Mr.. Ford lamented that Ismay was
married-that was the only drawback

would depend on the man she had mar
ried. The lawyer sighed as he thought

The 18th birthday of the Prince Of
Wales was celebrated Nov. 8. st.
Pauls, Westminster and other chimes of
London were pealed, the royal standard
was foated over the public buildings,
salutes were fired at Windsor, Horse
Guards parade and at the Tower of
London. The Prince celebrated his
birthday at Sandringham, where he
entertained Lord Rosebery and other
distinguished guests.
1t has been whispered in uniformed
circles that the Queen would surren-
der her sceptre to her son, and in many
parts of England the people were pre-
pared too shout, Long live the king!"
The prince of Wales, with all his
faults, is the idol of the people of Eng
land. He is a liberal-some say demo-
crat-and he favors the granting of the
fullest political liberty to the sub
jects of the crown. At the same time
he favors the imperial growth and
consolidation of Great Britain and the
spread of her power and civilization

Decidedly" replied Mr.. Ford. Il can
act more quickly, more promptly, and
more theoretically if | go alone"
He went that same day, and the re-
sult of his Journey was more salts
factory than he had ventured to hope
IL would be- He took up his residence
not at the principal hotel-that was
not a likely place to obtain such infor-
nation as he sought-but at an old
fashioned inn; and at night, when he
had invited the landlord to join him
over glass of wine, he cleverly turn
ed the conversation on the subject OF
strange and sudden deaths.
Then he heard the whole st0ry-how
Ia certain poor lady that had come to
the town had died without telling her
Name, or saying to whom she belonged,
Cor anything that could throw any light
upon her history.
"She really died in that strange
way?" questioned Mr.. Ford, breath
lessly; and the landlord, all uncon-
scious of the great interest at stake,
answered, "yes-that was how she
died"
"And the child" pursued the law
yer, what became of the child?"
He could hardly bear the moments of
suspense before the landlord answered
him.
1.-THE Hopes adopted her; and she is
the prettiest girl in the whole country
side. Ismay Hope they called her"
The lawyer started as the familiar
name fell upon his ear.
"Ismay," he repeated-"that is a
strange name"
Her mother called her by 1t before
she died, and she has kept it ever
since"
"She is beautiful, you say; and what
age may she be?"
"'That ! cannot tell-she was quite
young when she married"
Mr.. Ford interrupted him somewhat
frudely When she married-whom did
she marry?'
Paul Waldron, who is the steward
of Squire Schofeld but If the matter
interests you sir you can see Mrs.
Hope. She is a great friend of my
wife's and she is never tired of telling
the story"
1t so happened that on this very
evening Mrs. Hope came to take tea
with the landlords wife, and Mr..
Ford although a bachelor himself, I'M
derstood the fair sex sufficiently to feel
sure that, ii woman was more COM
municative at one time than another,
it was during the time spent over a
dish of tea.
+. He asked permission of the landlord
to join the little party-a favor which
was most willingly accorded him, al
though the landlady felt some slight
embarrassment. The landlord smiled
to himself. as though ne would have
said, There is some deeper motive
here than appears on the surface"
Mr.. Ford was hown into the little
parlor where the tea-drinking was to
take place. He could not help think
ing Of the strange aspects of life. Who
would have thought the interests of the
noble house of Carlswood would bring
him to the quiet, humble village inn?
Who would have dreamed that the
fortunes of the only daughter of that
illustrious race were to be discussed
there? He spent the evening in CONVEX
sation and that was how Mr.. Ford
came to know the history so well.

throughout the world. The visit of
the prince to the United States in 1860
is recalled with undiminished interest
by the older residents of the large
cities which he included in his tour.
In the early autumn of that year the
prince reached America on the man
of-war, Hope, landing at st. Johns,
Newfoundland. He was accompanied
by the duke of Newcastle, Lord St.
Germans, General Prince and General
Teesdale. There was tremendous en-
thusiasm throughout Canada In
Quebec 10000 people met him. He laid
corner-stones and was entertained al
most to death. President Buchanan
invited him to visit the United States.
He consented to come as Baron Rem
frew, much to the disgust of the ultra
democratic Americans. He went to
Chicago and shot prairie chickens. He
visited Boston, Philadelphia, Rich
mond and Washington. He took off
! his hat beside Washfngton's tomb and
PLANTED a chestnut tree there.

VIII Meet in Baltimore To-Day-The Di-
rectors Who will be Elected.
Baltimore, Nd, April 1O.-After a de-
lay of five months, the stockholders of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will meet
in the company's offices here tomorrow
and elect directors to serve during the
coming year. which will doubtless cover
the reorganization period Of the pro-
perty. A number of New York and
Chicago capitalists are here to attend
the meeting. 1t is understood that the
Chicago syndicate, headed by James
]. Hill, Philip D. Armour and Norman
Ream, will e allotted three members
of the directory. Messrs. Ream and
Hill are. it is said. slated for two of
the positions. William Salamon, Of
New York, who will be chairman of the
executive board, is among the New
York contingent. He will have abso-
lutte charge of the financial department
and will direct the fiscal affairs of the
company from New York. Edward r.
Bacon, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Southwestern. which will be
known as the Southwestern division of
the Baltimore & Ohio, will probably be
reelected to the directory, as will also
Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, president of the
Mercantile Trust Company, of New
York. The remaining directors to be
chosen are unknown, except to those
on the inside. and those persons are
guarding the secret well.
1t is understood that President Cow
en- and Vice President Murray will be
reelected, and if more than one vice
president is decided upon, General
Manager Underwood will probably be
selected for one of the Offices. The
main line Of the system will not be
foreclosed, it is stated. and the prop
erty will thus be reorganized under the
existing charter which will save a
good round sum to the company in
taxes each year.

His Money and Sought a Postmastership

Horace A. w. Tabor Dead at Denvor-Lost
His Money and Sought Postmastership
Denver, Col, April 10.-Ex-Senator
Tabor died here to-day.
Horace A. Tabor was born In Or
leans county, Vermont, November 26,
1890. He migrated to Kansas in 1883,
where he served a term in the Legls-
lature. In 1860 he engaged in placer
mining in California Gulch (now Lead
ville). In partnership with August
Richie and George t. Hook he opened
the famous little Pittsburg mine and
later sold out for s1000.000. Other
mines in Leadville yielded enormous
profits and quickly made Tabor the
richest man in Colorado. In 1880 and
1881 he built the Tabor block and the
Tabor Opera House in this city, and
donated to the government the site OF
the Federal building. In 1889 was
elected Lieut.. Governor.
When Senator Teller entered Presi-
dent Arthur's cabinet Mr.. Tabor was
appointed as U. S. Senator to fill the
unexpired term of 30 days. He was a
candidate for the long term as Senator,
but was defeated by one vote.
In 1898 Mr.. Tabor was appointed
postmaster of Denver. He had lost his
wealth through unfortunate invest
ments.

crept steadily forward, aiding the gat-
iings. Finally a large body was sent
against the enemy in the woods, driv-
ing them toward the mountains.
Gen. Lawton established headquar-
tiers at the elegant palace of the gov
ernor and guard was Immediately
placed in the church, as the sacred edi-
fees are always the first objective OF
looters. Within an hour the town was
patrolled and all footing rigidly pre-
vented.
Almost all the inhabitants had fed
during the two preceding nights, and
only a few Chinese shopkeepers have
emerged from hiding and resumed
business.
On the marshes north of the town
were found forty dead Filipinos- some
terribly torn by shells-and many 9TH
ers wounded, to whom the Americans
offered their canteens as though they
were comrades. A surgeon who ira
versed the field counted eighty killed,
and Gen. LawtOn will report at least
sixty-eight.
One Filipino, attempting to make his
escape, slashed viciously at Major
Weisenberger, who shot and killed him.
Yesterday the insurgents captured
two men of the Fourteenth infantry
while unarmed, but the Americans stole
the guns of their captors, dubbed them,
hid in the trees over night and returned
this morning.
The gunboats this afternoon have
been searching the Santa Cruz river for
shipping.
Tomorrow the expedition will push
forward, the Americans having de-
stroyed miles of telegraph lines, cut
ting off insurgent communication east
and west.
Manila, April 1O.-4:55 p. m.-The
rebels along the railroad fired at
scouting party near Malolos to-day,
wounding two members of the Kansas
regiment.
The u. S. gunboat Bennington has
gone to Baler, on the east coast, in or
der to relieve a Spanish garrison OF
forty-seven men which has been be-
leaguered there since May.
1t is considered significant that the

favor of the Filipino government, is
now counselling disarmament, advis-
ing the Filipinos to accept the newt

proclamation of the U. S. Philippine
commission, pointing out the advant-
ages of the definite policy determined
upon.

FRANK CROKER,
A Son Of Richard, on the stand Before the
Mazet Legislative Committee

A Son Of Richard, on the Stand Before the
Mazet Legislative Committee
New York, April 10.-Only two wit
nesses of any Importance were put on
the stand before the Mazet Legislative
Investigating Commission to-day and
though the investigation continued for
number of hours into the afternoon,
no particular convicting evidence was
brought out. The Investigating Com
mission adjourned its session until
next Friday when the chief witness
will be Richard Croker.
Frank Croker, son of Richard Crok-
er, was on the stand all morning, he
testified that he had paid $4,000 to
enter the Roebling Fire-proof Com
pany, and was drawing a salary of
$1,000 from it to learn the business. .
Young Croker first said he had given
for his 10 shares of stock a check
for the amount mentioned, but asked
It he would produce the cancelled
check he gracefully worked into an
admission that the stock was paid for
in cash furnished by his father. He
said he had got the money in big rolls
from his father in the Democratic club
home and kept in his room all night.
He told of having been presented with
$4,000 worth of stock in the United
Company because" he said, "they
knew we had lots of friends in rail-
roads and other places
Chief of Police VIM. S. Devery was
again put upon the stand, after Frank
Croker had given his testimony. Much
OF the questioning of the police captain
was similar to that of Saturday when
he was asked to explain the existence
OF many disorderly resorts in the city
that flourish at all hours of the night.
Devery said that the police depart
ment had done all it could do with the
evidence that it had before it to close
such places.
Devery denied that he knew of any
high official of the city who was inter-
ested in pool rooms.
During the progress of the session,
Dr. OSullivan said to the commission:
Mr.. Richard Croker desires me to
say that he will be at the disposal Of
this investigating commission at any
time up to April Is, when he is to sail
for Europe"
Mr.. Moss evidently took this for a
challenge and he promptly informed DR..
O'Suliivan that Mr. Croker's presence
was desired at the very next meeting
of the commission, which will be on the
coming Friday morning at 10 O'Clock.
