"You dear little girl"' said Mrs.
Quinette, stroking the shining hair to
assure herself of it's reality.

Quinette, addressing Marion after a lit

plantations. Il would give you to my

answered Marion. She felt a little
thrill at being called "dear." Since

that. Marion was enchanted with the

Meanwhile Mr.. Quinette arrived at
the home OF the Croftroads, bringing
his strange piece Of intelligence. Yes;
they had missed Marion, but they were
not very uneasy as yet. He was q
shrewd man, this Mr. Quinette, almost
as good judge Of people as he was of
old furniture, and he had not talked
with the Croftroads very long until he
saw that it would not be hard to per-
suade them to part with Marion alto
gether.
He approached the matter very deli
cately, however; told Mr.. Croftroad
who he was and proved his respecta-
bility and business standing. He told
Of his wife's longing for a little girl
and of their long cherished intention to
adopt q child. When he came home,
his face was beaming.
'Wil they let Marion stay until after
Christmas" asked Mrs. Quinette.
81 think they will let her stay for
good and all. OF course nothing Is
settled yet, but believe there will be
no difficulty. So you can have your
Christmas gift, my dear"
''Oh, Cassius, I'm so happyv' ex-
claimed Mrs. Quinette.

dear" she thought. Il wish l didn't
get these sleepy spells! The boys will
soon be coming in. Oh. for some place
to go and sleep quietly.'
She looked at the big sofa, which
was a sofa bed of the kind that folds
back. Marion noticed a shelf under
meath the cushioned springs. Evident
II this was intended to be utilized as
place to keep bedding. The shelf was
empty, however, save for a little pill

Mrs. Quinette was in one of these
wistful states Of mind on this particu-
lar December day. AS she looked out
of the window she could see the peo-
pie on the street carrying home their
Christmas bundles, and she thought to
herself: "Ah. me, If only had a daugh-
ter! What nice presents should buy

Up went the hanging curtain at the

trim little rosy checked maiden. The
sun shining on the auburn hair, which
was little tossed over the pure white
forehead, made halo. and Mrs. Qui-

OTTENDORFER PREDICTS
 DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS

New York, March S1-The World tomor- row will say:
 "Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the Staats Zeitung, was interviewed by World re- porter on the political issues of the day, and the prospects of the coming national campaign.
 MT. Ottendorfer said:
 'SThe German-Americans voted almost sol idly aganst Bryan and free silver four years ago. They are still opposed to the free coin standard Is now a reality, and cannot be interferred with for some years to come. However, the German-American voters might fear the election of Bryan on a 16 to i platform. They might fear the uncer- tainty of things should Bryan become presi- dent.
 "As between Mckinley and Bryan. who would be your choice?"
 Personally, and speaking only for my self" replied Mr. Ottendorfer, T would pre- fer Bryan's election to McKinleys re-elec- tion
 'Tn my opinion the Kansas City conven- ton would do a wise thing by remaining silent on the free silver issue. dof not suggest a trimming of sails to fool the peo- pie on the money question, or that the convention should repudiate the platform of 1896, but there is no reason why the 16 to issue should be brought forward this year.

the wounded man, and that his condition was precarious. They stated that death might be the question of only a few hours and in order that the men might be taken before him while he was yet alive 1t was decided to lose no time in doing so. Solic- itor Ferguson was notified and was at the hospital when the prisoners arrived
 As soon as the patrol wagon left the sta- ton, the crowd made break for police headquarters, hoping to get another glimpse of the crooks. The wagon was driven up Eighteenth street, and only few persons were present when it stopped in front of the entrance to the hospital
 The three prisoners, in charge of Chief Austin, Detectives Bodeker and Desheroon and other members of the force, were hur- ried into the hospital. The prisoners were taken into the waiting room, and appeared i'll at ease. Duncan was the calmest of the trio and while he was not as visibly ag- tated as were Foy and West, he watched the movements of the officers closely, al- though his facial expression did not change.
 Fits the Description
 He is rather tall and fits the description of one of the men to nicety. He wears light moustache, and while his face is stern, it is not as hard as that of Miller.
 West, who is heavy set, with dark hair and moustache and a keen eye, could not conceal his fear and trembled perceptibly as he stood in the hallway. Fay, who is the youngest of the three, is smooth shaven, with a hard face, was evidently worried over the proceedings, although he managed to keep cool.
 An officer was dispatched to police head quarters for Miller, who was arrested In Admission under the name of Manning, and his fellow-crook.
 Miller is a heavy-set man, clean shaven, with hard face and looks every inch a criminal. He also appeared Ill at ease and flm and the other prisoners as he entered the room.
 On their arrival Duncan and Miller were handcuffed together, preparatory to being taken before the wounded officer, who lay upon a bed in room across the hall. In order that the poor fellow be not un- duely excited only a few persons were ad- mitted to the room, including an Age-Her- 1 aid reporter and another representative of | the press.
 The two men, in charge of Chief Aus tin, were ushered into the presence of the wounded man, who occupied bed in the northwest corner of the room. As they | entered he reused up and, half turning on | h4s couch, looked up at them as they took l a position beside his

WALKED INTO THE TRAP
English Officers Should Learn Value of
 Scouting

London, April 2.-Q:30 a. m.)-General officers will ever learn the value of scouting comes back with enforced emphasis to the British public today on receipt of the tid- ings that convoy with guns has walked deliberately into Boer ambush within about twenty miles of Bloemfontein.
 Lord Roberts own report of the affair." if yet received by the war office, has not been published, and no account of the affair is available to the public except the dis patch from Bushman Kop. Nothing can be said, therefore, regarding the exact extent of the British misfortune.
 Evidently Colonel Broadwood thought It necessary to retreat in haste from Thaba Gnu, as he marched all through Friday night, apparently followed by considera- be force of the enemy. The convoy and guns had to pass through a deep spruit which the Boers had occupied.
 Six of twelve guns, comprising two bat teres, all the wagons and, 1t Is feared, many men, fell into the hands of the Boers, whose daring displayed so near Bloemfon- 
 part of their recent reverses.
 The hope is expressed here that General Colville will recover the convoy and guns, but this Is hardly likely In such a difficult country, and it Is probable that the next news will be that after a stiff fight General Coville has extrcated Colonel Broadwood from his difficult position, but failed to re- trieve the disaster.
 Severe criticisms are head regarding the renewal of the old mistake of underating the Boers and the absence of proper pre- caution. No doubt the affair will revive Boer hopes and inspire confidence among the emeny at a critical moment
 Great things are expected by the Boers of the new commander-in-c chief, General Botha, who has made his reputation wholly during the present campaign. Foreign of- ficers serving with the Boers have express ed surprise at his clever tactics.
 The proof of continuing Boer activity in the Free State will compel greater crcum- spection on the part of the British and will probably delay the March of Lord Roberts northward.
 Detailed accounts of the fight at Karee Siding estimate the Boer forces varously from 5000 to 5000 men.

TARIFF WILL PROHIBIT
 PORTO RICO PRODUCTS
MT. Townes Says That Tobacco Cannot Be Sent to America Under the Pro-
 posed Rate

San Juan, Porto Rico, April 1.-Mr. W. T. Townes president of the Porto Rscan To- bacco company, who yesterday declared that the proposed tariffs would keep Porto Rico out of the American market, and as the result of it says would sell to Glu- rope, China and Japan instead of the United States, declared today that b per cent. of the Dingley rates would prohibit Porto Ri- can manufacture for sale in the United States The raw leaf would pay an aver age 5A cents per pound and finished goods 771a cents per pound. This would be dis criminating in favor of the United States manufacturers to the extent Of $725 on each 1000 pounds.
 'iSkiled labor,'' he said, ''ls higher here than in the United States, and the passage of the proposed bill Would doom Porto Ri- can manufacture. It would be a crime against the labor and capital of Porto Rico. If congress is sincere in its purpose only to raise revenue for the island, 1t cannot honestly take the Dingley bill as a basis The differential rate between finished and raw products will protect the United States manufacturer, but slaughter the Porto Ri- can.". ss--see
