listless, inert, languid-she who used
to be all life and vivaity I cannot ac-
count for the change"
SYou should try TO rouse her, Helen;
It will not do to give way to her"
80 / do; talk to her, but she new
err answers-she never seems to hear.
Whenever l go into her room, find
her sitting at the window, looking
with tired, dreamy eyes over the sea.
II take her book to read, she re-
turns it to me, and find that she has
not even opened it. If | ask her to do
anything for me. am sure to discover
that she has forgotten all about it.
How am / to rouse her? What am I
to do?"
Something must have caused this
change" said Lady Station, musingly;
you must try to find out what that
| something is"
"She has changed even toward me-"
continued Miss Digby. "She used to
dislike me very much; she treated me
with a kind of half-willful, proud de-
fiance that amused even while it
panied me. All that has gone now;
she is so submissive that she obeys me
implicitly. More than once she has
clasped her arms round my neck, laid
her head on my shoulder, and wept
until / really thought her heart would
break"

ask for his advice, Helen. Perhaps st.

II asked her yesterday IL she would

ethel.
And looking into the wan, white
face, and noting the shadows in the
violet eyes, Helen Digby thought to
herself that the heart of proud, beauti-
full Ethel Gordon was most surely
broken.

BABY REUNITES PARENTS.

Mrs. Irene Pollard, who passed
through St. Louis few day ago on
her way to Macon, No, in search OF
her husband, who, she claimed. had
left her at their home in Jersey City,
n. j.. taking their baby with him.
found Mr.Pollard and reconciliation
resulted.
Mrs. Pollard boarded the same
train for Macon that her husband and
baby were on. 1t was several hours
before the couple met. AT noon the
baby began to grow fretful. The father
did all he could to quiet her, but the
little one missed its mothers care.
Mrs. Pollard, who was in the rear
of the car, went forward where the
man and the crying baby were. Then
there was a mutual recognition. The
reconciliation quickly followed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollard continued
their journey to Macon, where thew
are now the guests of Mr.. Pollar6.s
parents.

CHAPTER XIII.
In Suspense.

There was considerable excitement
when Ethel Gordon once more crossed
the threshold of her fathers house
The servants looked at her in wonder.
What had happened to their bright
young mistress? She had left them
only few short months since. and
then no flower had been fairer or more
blooming. She returned to them. her
face colorless. her eyes Swallowed with
sorrow, the brightness gone from her;
there were no smiles. no more sweet
snatches OF song.
Il can hardly believe" said the but
ler-an important person at Foun-
tayne-"that II Is Miss Gordon; nor
can | think what has so completely
changed her"
they hoped that it was only fatigue
from the journey, and that in a few
days she would be her own bright, ca
PRECIOUS, charming self again. But
days passed on, weeks elapsed, and no
change came to her; and they realized
the fact that her glrllsh gayety had
gone from her forever.
The servants had been tempted at
first to resent Miss Digby's rule; but.
after time. they acknowledged that
IL was well chat she vas there. The
willtul, pretty, imnesious caprices that
had made the amusement and had
caused the despair of the whole house
hold were all over. Neither rule nor
power had any more interest for Ethel.
Those who went to ask her questions.
hoping that she would evince some lit
tie interest all received the same ans

ply, II was either Il know nothing OF

that coming home. She had been so
completely queen and mistress. her
reign had been so undisputed. she had
been 50 dearly loved. Life had been

pleasing hopes. They were all blighe-

She had left home the fair. proud de-
seendant OF a grand old race; she re-
turned the wife of a torger and thief.
She had left Fouutayne one OF the hap

ings' she had returned without an in

Washington, May 4.-The session OF
the senate was rendered especially
notable by the passing, after debate
lasting only three hours, OF the army
reorganization bill. 1t practically
revolutoinizes the present staff ar
engagements of the army. 1t proposes
to change the present system of per
nanent appointments in certain staff
corps, to one of detail by gradual
process, as the officers now in those
corps go out of active service. AS va
cancies occur in the departments of
adjutsut general, inspector general.
quartermaster general, and commits
sary general, they are to be filled by
details from the line, the details to be
temporary and not to exceed four
years The new system is not APP
piled to the corps of engineers, medi.
cal department. pay department or
judge advocate generals department.
The bill discontinues regimental or
ganization of the artillery, and estab
fishes an artillery corps of two
branches, viz: 126 batteries of coast
artillery, and IS batteries of field ar
tillery, with total of 17,44S men. It
provides for an increase of 100 corps
of cadets at West Point, two at large
from each state, and ten more to the
present number of 20 from the United
States at large. The rank of COM
handing general of the army is raised
to that of lieutenant general; that of
adjutant general to major general. the
latter being during the incumbency of
the present adjutant general, Gen.
Corbin. The president is empowered
to place on the retired list any officer
who has been suspended from duty by
sentence of court martial, or by legis-
lative order in mitigation of such sen.
tence, for a period extending to Or
within one year of the time of his
compulsory retirement for age. This is
we'll understood to apply to Commits.
sary General EagGu. The amend
ment creating the veterinary corps
for the army was attached to the bill
after a spirited debate. The fortifca-
lions appropriation bill, carrying
about $7,500,O0O, was passed.
Washington, May 4.-The house
made fair progress with the sundry
civil service bill.

ARE YOU GOING TO NOME?
If so You'd Better Post Up on Condi-
tions There.

There is disappointment in store
for some people who have the Cape
Nome fever. That long beach of gold
en- sand, extending for 235 miles along
the wild Alaskan coast, has a network
OF imaginary lines over it, which indi-
cate that certain people believe that
they have an inalienable right to all
the sands, golden or otherwise, in
that region. Men who leave for the
wonderful gold fields with the idea
that all they have to do is to buy
shovel and rocker and start a gold
mine most any old place, will find
themselves up against something
when they attempt to set stakes, for
the reason that other fellows have
already set stakes.
Il am amazed at the thoughtless-
ness of some people," said a mining
expert from Seattle. Those golden
sands along the coast have not only
been spoken for, but the country back
distance of twenty-five miles has
been gobbled up as well. Men who go
up there should learn something of
conditions before they start. Last
year rates of transportation were 30
and 40 cents a pound for hauling sup
plies into the interior, a distance of
ten miles or so. AS claims extend
back twice as far this year, the men
who go in there will have to pay
from so to rs cents per pound to get
their supplies, lumber, ETC., where they
will be of any service"

Virginia. Senator Chandler, chairman
or the committee on privileges and
elections, asked the chair to lay be-
fore the senate the resolution relating
to the unseating of Mr.. Clark of Mon

do this, holding it required a motion
to take the Montana resolution from
the calendar. In accordance with pre-
vious notice, Senator Mason Qll.) then

proposition to enact legislation to pre-
vent the adulteration of food Consid-
Grafton was then resumed of the army

Washington, May 2.-The house at

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, April 3O.-Again the
question OF expressing sympathy for
the beers was thrust upon the atten..
ton of the senate. This time it came
up on motion to proceed to con-
sideration of lie resolution introd uced
by Senator Pettigrew Is. d. which
was before the senate last Saturday.
The motion was defeated 20 to 20. The
conference report on the joint resolu-
ton relating to the administration of
civil affairs in Porto Rico and provid-
ing for the appointment of temporary
officers in the island was agreed to.
During the greater part of the session
the Alaskan civil code bill was under
consideration but no progress was
made. The bill appropriating $4,000

senate bill to create a commission of
five to investigate and report upon the
commercial and industrial conditions
in China and Japan was debated at
length but was vigorously antagonized
by the democrats and they finally sue
ceeded in striking out the enacting
clause. The bill for a constitutional
amendment to disqualify polygamists
for election as senator's and represent
atives was referred To the committee
on judiciary after meeting with oppo-
sition from both sides of the house.
Washington, May 1.-After having
been under consideration more than
two months the Alaskan civil code
bill was passed by the senate Senator
Carter, to do this, withdrew his
amendment relating to alien location
of mining claims, and all other points
in dispute. The army appropriation
bill carrying supplies for the military
established at over $114,000,0OO, was
then taken up. The feature of the
discussion of the measure was the de-
bate on trusts, precipitated by an
amendment offered by Senator Berry
(dem., Ark providing that the quar-
termaster's department should not
purchase supplies from any recognized
trust. The amendment was defeated
The bill had not been completed when
the senate adjourned.
Washington, May For the first
time during so years of agitation of

CID, chairman of the appropriation
committee, threw the weight of their

were opposed to building the canal
but because they considered the time
for authorizing its construction not
yet ripe.

spread OF the Boxer agitation III that

the most Important treaty ports i'll
China 1t is located on the Yangtse

point where the Wo Sung enters, and
is about 125 miles from Shanghai.
There is an intimatioa at the state de-
partment that tie consul Chin Kiang
has exaggerated the danger Of the stu

the town of number of Boxers is no
evidence that they have hostile inten-

It is probable, therefore, that in tho al-
