Even the shrewdest persons may at
times be Cseived. No matter how
much people may differ upon the genius
of Andrew Lang, they are unanimous
in regard to his quick intelligence and
his talent for playing golf. Not long
ago he was a guest at a very distin-
guished dinner, which he is said to
have described as an extraordinary
survival of savage mysteries. The cul-
mary part was fauftless, but Mr.. Lang's
enjoyment was utterly ruined by hav-
ing, as he put it, "a budding funny
man on the one hand and dlabOlical-
ly deaf socialist on the other. | could

Two weeks afterward it got out that
the socialist was not deaf; that he had
come to the banquet prepared to be
bored by less learned guests; that he
had been seated alongside IAN idiotic
middle-aged gentleman who did moth

tect himself he had simulated a deaf
ness which kept his neighbor bawling,

CHAPTER XIV.

Mary Graeme the neglected wife of
Luke Dalziel, had promised the disguised
Sir Philip not to reveal the secret of his
identity, and she honestly meant to abide
by her word but soon after being left
alone with her child, she thought to her
SELF
True, but / did not promise to conceal
from Luke the joyful fact that our child
has been restored to us. / need not tell
him in what way the restoration has been
effected. If | can only obtain access to
him, and thrust the BARN into his arms,
saying, See, Luke, heaven has been good
and merciful to us through all these
moaning years! Here is Robbie, our own
little Robbie, that crushing poverty
snatched from our bosoms in the old dark
days. but which kind heaven at last gives
back unto our hearts, Who knows but
that then my husband may be redeemed
to me? Who knows? Who knows?'
Putting Robbie to sleep, she had pre-
vailed on Towns to accompany her in
quest of her husband. The search had
resulted as has been told in a previous
chapter.
When. after Dalziers awful self-accu-
sation. Mary recovered consciousness, she
Il
her eyes, and was rushing out of the room
as from a place accursed. when Weems
arrested her flight and dragged her back.
Not so fast he exclaimed, through
his clenched teeth. ''You go not hence to
destroy us with your evidence. You must
be sworn to secrecy first, and | know
you'll keep an oath by reason of your re-
ligion."
"Yes, yes.' she gasped. Anything
anything, only make haste. Only let me
quit this fendish place"
Here, Chelmsford, fetch Bible"
called out Weems, land then administer
an oath of secrecy of the regular iron-clad
description"
Having tremblingly subscribed to an
oath, Mary was tottering toward the
door, having received sign from both
Weems and Chelmsford that she would
no longer be detained, when she was
again suddenly commanded to stop, this
time by her husband, who abruptly start
ed to his feet and advanced toward her.
Eyes, Luke, / will remain; l will obey
YOU" gasped the unhappy woman, back
ing against the wall and extending both
hands shudderingly toward him; "but
don't touch me. Whatever you do Luke,
don't touch me-"
.'Who cares to touch your growled
Dalziel, with an oath. The beauty that
could tempt any one to touch You has long
since given you the go-by. What l want
to know is your purpose in following me
here. You said you had something vital
ly important to tell me; now want to
know what it is.
1T is no longer well that you should
know Of it." was her quivering, scarcely
audible reply.
"Tell it mer ahe growled, with another
oath, and at 4le same time advancing
menacingly toward her.

substantial facts, showing that greater

Kansas during the last three years,
should not be forgotten by their citi-
zens during the campaign.
The Democratic party is VIGOROUSLY
an anti-prosperity party, and the farm

Missouri must not allow themselves to
be led away by the false promises and
calamity bowling Of their Democratic
friends. Our statements are from, off,

M'kINLEY.s AMERicANlsM.

Englishmen Do Not Enthuse Over His
denomination.
A copyrighted London cablegram to
the New York Tribune says If there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, it may be dispelled
by the reticence Of the London and pro-
vincial press respecting the work of
the Philadelphia convention. There are
few comments on it, and such as there
are have a perfunctory sound. Ihese
are not eulogies of Mckinley, and the
Republican party is not embarrassed
by English patronage or fiattery. The
party platform is described as moder-
ate and the nominations as good as the
circumstances permitted The nearest
approach to compliment is the Specta-
tors remark that Mckinley is possibly
too much Of politician, but that he
has won and receives international re-
spect.
The English press is preocupied with
affairs in South Africa and China, and
has no space in reserve for trivial in
cident in Anglo-Saxon history, such as
the election of President by nation
Of eighty millions. Moreover, there are
no illusions here respecting either Pres
ident Mckinley or the Republican par
ty. Both are known to be downright
American, and not in any sense Eng
fish. President Mckinley is not sus-
pected of having ever made an apology
for introducing the tariff bill which
bore his name, and the party which re-
nominated him, so far from repudiat-
ing protectionism. has reaffirmed it and
added to it subsidies for American ship
ping.
Nobody in England ever speaks of
Mckinley as anything but an uncom-
promising champion of American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve, as possibly not
the best choice, but one which divides
the Republican party least.

And then she caught Miss Muir in her

Corn, oats, hay and potatoes show
the largest gains in both States. While
wool is not SO much grown here as in
the far Western States, still the in
crease under protection in the value Of
the clip has been satisfactory to those
farmers who raise sheep. In Missouri
this years cotton crop was worth al
most twice as much as it was in 1896
under the Democratic administra ton.
Lastly, an examination of the num-
Der of bank depositors in Kansas and
Missouri is full of facts upon which
our citizens can congratulate them
selves. The figures are taken from the
last annual report of the Comptroller
of the Currency:
In the State of Kansas there were
So, 151 people who had bank accounts
in 1894; las. year there were 1OO,S4O
bank accounts in that State. In 1894
the total deposits in Kansas amounted
to $1Y,147, 160; last year the total
amount Of the deposits was $33, 505,1
There has been an increase of practic-
ally 100 per cent, both in the number
of people who had money to deposit in
the banks, and in the total amount of
money on deposit in Kansas.
In the State of Missouri there were
lit 1867 persons who had bank accounts
In 1894; last year there were 213,O09
bank accounts. In 1894 the total
amount Of deposits in Missouri was
S53, 921 1853. { In 1899 the deposits in all
the banks of Missouri had increased to
Sal, T26, 449. While the number of de-
positors in Missouri had increased by
90 per cent, the total amount of money
deposited had increased by 100 per
cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at the
stores, mines and factories, nor the
larger amount of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two States.
While the Democratic orators are en-
larging upon the benefits that will hap
pen to the country If Democratic

not neglect the blessings and prospect

In Kansas the largest gains to farm

This they we'll know, because their re-
turns when selling their live stock have
been so much larger this year than they
were under a Democratic administra-
ton.

ment in the price of the staple crops

Dunmore quilted the room in obedience
to the knock on the door, and presently
returned to inform Miss Muir that his
messenger had returned with the infoE-
nation that Mrs. Graeme had been found

MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.
Expect to Increase Their Plurality for
Mckinley by 10000.

Expect to Increase Their Plurality for
Mckinley by 10000,
Minnesota Republicans are remarka-
bly, unanimous upon the issues of the
Presidential campaign and confident Of
the reelection Of President Mckinley.
There was not, in any quarter, breath
Of opposition to his denomination. He
is regarded as the logical leader of the
party upon the issues which so signally
triumphed in his first election, and
upon the new issues which have arisen
during his administration. The triumph
of sound money, the restoration of the
protective principle in our tariff laws,
followed by the restoration Of prospect
ty, and the broad craftsmanship with
which the President has dealt with the
perplexing questions and conditions
growing out of the Spanish war; have
convinced our people that change
would not be desirable at this time
and that the best thing for the country
will be another four years Of the same
able hand at the helm of state.
I speak confidently of the conditions
in Minnesota, and my observation as
sures me that substantially the same
conditions prevail in all the States that
went Republican in 1896. Minnesota
will repeat her magnificent Republican
victory Of that year and emphasize it.
We lost our Governor in 1898 through
local dissensions, but we elected all the
rest of the ticket and carried the Legis-
lature. There will be no dissensions
in this State this year in regard to any
candidate, and on the national ticket
we expect to see McKinley's plurality
of 53,ST5 four years ago increased to at
least 10000. The Republicans will
make clean sweep in Minnesota
