CHAPTER XIX.

"She's dtSgrdccfully ugly!-I saw her
quite close" says Mr.. Kelly, in an injured
tone. II wonder what on earth Madame
O'Connor means by asking her here, where
she can be nothing but a blot upOna perfect
landscape; all the rest OF us are so lovely
1t is four o'clock, and hopeleSsly wet. The
soft rain patters on the leaves outside, the
grass and all the gardens are drowned in
Natures tears. There can be no %lounging
on sunny terraces, no delicious dreaming
under shady beech-trees, this lost afternoon.
Giving in to the inevitable with a cheerful
resignation worthy Of record, they have all
cOngregated in the grand old hall, one OF the
chief glories of Ag~hyohillbeg.
Through a vague but mistaken notion that
It will add to their comfort and make them
coZier and more forgetful of-or at least
more indifferent to-the sunshine OF yeSter-
day, they have had an enormous fire of pine
logs kindled upon the hearth. When too
late, they discover il to be a discomfort; but,
with a stoicism worthy a better cause, they
decline TO acknowledge their error, and
stand In groups round the aggressive logs,
pretending to enjoy them, but in reality
dying of heat.
Meanwhile, the fragrant pieces of pine
roar and crackle merrily, throwing shadows
up the huge chimney, and casting bright
CLEANS of light upon the exquisite oaken
carving of the ancient chimney-piece that
reaches almost to the lofty ceiling and is
now blackened by age and beautiful beyond
description.
Olga, in a sage-green gown, is lying back
listlessly in a deep armchair; she has placed
an elbow OF either arm of 1t, and has brought
her fingers so far toward each other that
their tips touch. Hernia Herrick, in a gown
of copper-red is knitting languidlya little
silk sock for the child Nesting silently at
her knee.

"Well, if it will do you any good to

several hundred thousand pounds"
"Well," went on the stranger, "if I

The family pet in a country house
was a tortoise. AS the time for hiber-
mating drew near il selected a quiet
corner in the coal cellar and there
went to sleep. A new cook appeared
In the meantime, who knew naught OF
the ways Of these animals. After a

brought the mistress upon the scene.

done by the shells Of the enemy.

The industries of Sweden have
flourished and she has enjoyed a
period of general growth and pros
perity.
The government has taken advan-
tage of these favorable conditions to
plan and inaugurate public improve
ments upon a rather extensive scale.
The surplus has been used largely
for military and naval purposes, and
in consequence the defense Of the
country has been very materially
strengthened. Large railroad un-
dertakings in the northern part of
Sweden entail heavy drafts upon
the public treasury that cannot be
met from funds now available. The
new loan will be used mainly for
this purpose. An incidental and ex-
pected effect of the loan will be to
relieve the money market of Sweden,
which for some time has been labor
ing under considerable pressure. .
The Scandinavian governments
have generally placed their loans in
London or Hamburg. Their credit
is good and their bonds have found
ready takers at low rates of interest.
The present Swedish loan was
originally offered in London. But
neither England nor any otker
country in Europe has any gold to
spare Just now; London passes the
bonds to Uncle Sam, the only great
gold bug of these latter days, and
he will take them.
Amid all the wonderful develop
ments the American people have
witnessed during the last few years
the most remarkable and certainly
the least expected change is the
transition of the United States from
the position of debtor to that OF
creditor nation. A revival of pros
perity was expected as result of a
change of the national administra
ton. The victory over Spain was
accepted as a matter of course and
the occupation of the Philippines as
a necessary consequence of the war.
Our growing prestige abroad is a
source of qualification to all good
citizens; yet it is only what might
have been expected. But the ire
mendous financial strength of this
country, the commanding position it
has attained in the financial markets
of the world is a revelation alike to
foreigners and Americans. This re-
suit of Republican prosperity"
passes the widest dreams of the
most sanguine republican who cast
a ballot in 1096-Daily Skandin-
avian.

The Swedish Loan.

A few years ago the government
of the United States went to Europe
to borrow money. Now the gov
ernments of Europe appear as bor-
Towers in the American market
French, German, and Russian bank
ers representing their respective
governments have sounded the
American fnanciers as to placing
government loans here. A few
weeks ago an issue of $28.000,-
900 of English bonds was offered
and taken in New York, and now
a Swedish loan of $4,000, 900
has been placed in New York and
Chicago.
Sweden's financial condition is ex-
celent and her credit gilt edged.
Gold is the standard of value, an0
the banking system of the countr
is sound. The public debt is com.
paratively light, and provisions are
made for an ample sinking fund
Since the protective system was es
tablished some twelve years age
there has been a handsome surplus
in the public treasury every year
