HIS SEPTENNIAL BATH.

This entry of Herouard's, says Mrs.
Lucy Crump in the Atlantic, in it's

testifies to the fact that he had his

he was six, Herouard says: "They

CHAPTER XVIII.

Sir Karl had risen early. He wanted
to go over to Deeping Hurst. Every
day he found something on which to
tains the placing of a statute, the
hanging of picture; nothing, in his
opinion, could be done without her
advice. AS he sat down to his solitary
breakfast, he inwardly congratulated
himself that he would soon have a
fair face opposite to him and q sweet
voice to talk to him.
Man was never intended to live
alone" he said to himself; "and no
one has been more miserable under
the ordeal than I have BEEN"
However, it would not be for long,
he thought. It was too early yet to
go to Deeping Hurst. The first hours
of the day were always devoted to
Kathleen. He had found by experience
that it was almost useless to ask
for Lady Rhysworth until baby had
been properly equipped. No more low
ing mother ever lived, and the charge
that Lola had brought against her of
neglecting the little one for Sir Karl's
sake had cut Dolores to the heart.
Sir Karl thought that he would
while away the intervening hours
with a cigar on the terrace, from
which there was beautiful view of
the surrounding country. He was
walking up and down, watching the
h 7oiva Of +ho% a-IYs1nd
ward from his cigar, and thinking
with a smile of the fair lady he loved,
and of the little child who had twined
herself round his heart. In his care
less, untroubled mood nothing could
have been further from his thoughts
than misery of any kind. It was a
shock to him when, turning suddenly,
he saw Lola near him. He had heard
footsteps, ard looked round to see who
it was.
"Lola?" he cried, startled more than
he liked to show.
A shadow seemed to fall over every
thing. Recovering himself, he went
up to her, and held out his hand.
This is indeed a surprise-'So early
in the morning. That is the title of
a comic song, is it not?"
But his bright words died away
when he saw the white face set as if in
stone, and his countenance changed.
Are you i'll, Lola? Great Heaven,
what is wrong? What is the matter?
Is Madame is anything wrong with
madame?"
There is something wrong" she
said, slowly, ''but it concerns me, not
but one which I lay at your door. My
heart is broken"
She looked so woe-begone that he
was touched. He would have resented
reproaches or passionate words; but,
when beautiful girl tells a man that
her heart is broken, and he knows
that it is for love of him, it is hard in
deed to be angry.
II must ask you if it is true" she
continued" will believe it from no
other lips but yours-that you are go
ing to marry Dolores"
Eyes, [ hope So he replied.
"Was it of that hope you spoke to
me on the night of your return?" she
asked.
Eyes, it was
Then she cried, raising her mis-
9rable face to the sky, may Heaven
nave mercy on me! II thought you
we're abiding to mel felt sure of it,"
81 do not see how you could, Lola"

remainder of the day was devoted to
private pension bills. During the de-
bate there were several sharp attacks
upon Mr.. Valbert (dem., S. CO. for his
course in delaying action on the bills.
Later on Mr.. Talbert, who was de-
handing the reading of the report in
each case, and who several times made
points of no quorum, became involved
in controversy with Mr.. Shattuck
(rep., Ohio, who expressed the opin-
ion that the opposition to pensions
came with i'll grace from a former con-
federate soldier, and Mr. Sibley (rep.,
Pa.) said simple calculation would
show that it cost $1,000 day for each
session of the house. The time fritz
tered away by Mr.. Talbert since he
came to congress, he said, would more
than pay all the special pension bills
passed during that period. Mr. Ford,
ney (rep., Mich.) attacked Mr. Talbert
little later. He said that when Mr.
Talbert said he was a friend of the
soldier he would not believe him on
OATH Mr.. Talbert with a great show
of wrath replied that when a gentle
man imputed untruthfulness to him
he hurled it back and ''crammed it

ulated him. Senator Jones (Ark.)

sharp retort to the charge made
against him in the house by Mr.. Dol

objection, to get his resolution ex-
pressing sympathy for the beers be-

naval appropriation bill with the pros
pect of severe struggle ahead over
the question of armor plate, and the
provision in the bill for coast geodetic

ton from a source which he was not
at liberty to reveal, showing that we
could obtain Krupp armor plate at a
price lower than any other country
could. Mr.. Cummings said the people
in all sections of the country recog-

United States as to all other maritime
nations.

Hop Notes.

Hop-picking will commence in few OF
the yards about Yakima early the COM
ing week, but it lie not expected that the
majority Of the yards will be ready much
before the 9th. Ifthis is the case it will
run the picking season into October which
will be something unusual, and which
will prove drawback to the state fair to
be held the last week in September. The
Indians are beginning to come in and
make the necessary arrangements for
picking, with the yard bosses. A band
Of over 100 are on the way here from
Colville county. Growers anticipate no
trouble in securing ample help as there
will be the usual tx cursion rates from the
Sound which many Of the people over
there will take advantage of.
Hop picking in Lewis county will be a
little earlier this season than it was last
year and conditions are favorable for a
nice crop. The price OF picking will be
a dollar box. The yards which are be-
ing cultivated are looking we'll, but owing
to blowing up the crop in southwestern
Washington, will be fully 20 per cent
short Of what it was last year.
For the first time in the history of the
hop industry Of the Puysllup valley the
red men who for many years have gath
cred from far and near to pick hops, will
find themselves up against the little
brown men Of japan as competitors for
the job. The Japs are already making
offers to pick hops for rs cents box and
pull their own polls. This latter opera.
ton makes a saving of q man at $3.50 .
day for every 40 pickers.
Hop picking will began in Oregon earl
Ter than was expected and picking OF the
Fuggies variety, an early hop, will be
started on Monday. While the crop is
short the quality is unusually COED, the
color being healthy yellow and they
will be allowed to fully mature as little
or no vermin is reported on the vines.
OF late years the Oregon hops hav been
picked before maturity on account of YER
min but this will not be the case this
year. Oregon buyers are freely offering
to contract at IL cents and it is reported
that in some cases 1919 cents has been
offered.

Not a TTeetotaler.

Wheeling, w. Va, May 22.--Francis
Schlatter, the "Divine Healer" ac-
companied by his wife, arrived here
yesterday from Parkersburg and took
quarters at the Mcclure. This morn
ing, instead of securing an "eye-op-
ener' by the usual methods of divine
healers, he lent assistance to the local
breweries by emptying six bottles OF
beer before breakfast, and during the
day he kept up his record with re-
markable ability. Tonight he intend
ed to give a seance, but he was tenn
porarily disabled, and delighted a
crowd of sightseers in the Mcclure
House bar by his adeptness in storing
away bottle after bottle of the amber
fluid. The Wheeling ministers say
they propose to have him run out of
town.

An Admiral Fooled.

There was a curious coincidence in
Washington Monday night. Rear Ad-
miral Ahmed Pasha. of the Turkish
navy, had just arrived in town, and al
most coincident there came some hun
dreds of the Imperial Council of the
Ancient Arabic Order Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine The Mobiles paraded
the Pennsylvania avenue, resplendent
in their red fezzes and baggy trousers,
and there were Turkish emblems ga
lore, red fire, music and general en-
thusiasm. The Admiral drove along
in carriage. When the gorgeous
and much Mohommedan array burst
upon his astonished eyes his breast
swelled and as the gay and glittering
column swept by he bowed necessarily
right and left. and remarked to an at
tendant by Allah, these Christians
do me much hvnor!" No one unde-
ceiyed the Rear Admiral, and he will
doubtless recite to his mighty and inn
pecunious ruler a great tale of popular
American sympathy for Turkey when
he gets home.-Wheeling Register.

Congress has already inaugurated and

"The records OF the United States

this general project of securing min
lmum stage of water all along the
Ohio has been the subject OF lnvestiga-
tion, report and recommendation by
various engineers ever since 1850, and
in all the various reports the stage of
six feet has been dealt with.
THE very great additional expense
and delay connected with a nine-foot
project has invariably proved bar to
its serious consideration. To attempt
it now means only indefinite postpone
ment of projects already approved,
and which can not be seriously con-
sidered."
