from her, and when he returned it
would be to marry She had loved her
home, and her own fantastic rule
there; that, too, had passed away.
There was nothing before her but
to submit to the rule Of a strange
woman. 1t was intolerably hard.
She felt inclined to wish for death;
but the Gordon pride came to her
aid Miss Digby was to be there BY
two; she must not find her weeping
nor sad. Ethel went to her room,
and as far as she could removed all
trace of tears. She dressed herself
with unusual care; she gave orders
for the needful packing with calm,
clear, steady voice, and then sat down
to await Miss Digby's arrival
"Henceforward, she said to her
self, 81 am to be second In my fathers
house. A stranger takes my mothers
place as well as mine. She will
triumph over me; she will laugh to
think how easily she has deposed me,
but, suffer as ! may, no sign of my
suffering shall she discover"
When Helen Digby arrived soon
afterward full of sympathy and kind
ness, ready TO give all the attention
and affection that she thought would
be needed, her reception rather
startled her She would not allow
any one to announce her.
Tell roe where Miss Gordon is"
she said, and | will go to her"
She walked through the splendid
suite Of rooms whore one day she was
TO reign as mistress. She found
Ethel sitting in one of the light, pretty
balconies that looked on to the ter
race. She went gently to her, and
laid her hand with quiet, caressing
touch on the girls shoulder.
My dearest Ethel," she said, 81
I have FASTENED to you knowing that
/ you would be SO lonely and unhappy
What can | do to comfort you?"
Her eyes shone brightly through
her tears; her whole face was beauu-
| iul from It's warmth of kndliness.
/ She saw the crimson flush rise on
Ethels brow She would fain have
kissed her face, but Ethel rose with
quiet dignity, and said coldly;
"Go0d-mornIng, Miss Digby; ! did

Entrance tickets are selling at the.

The American women Of the exposi-
tion are incensed over Mrs. Logan's in

she feels a pity for the poor display
made by tins American women OF the
exposition. The strongest argument is
that she left Paris before tilree-fourths
of the exhibits were installed.
The American women's display is ex-

Sment Ia protect the lives and property
OF American citizens residing in China
and have 10 doubt that the admins

II also take it for granted that all
American citizens will Withdraw from
China temporarily to take refuge in
some seaport. where they can be pro-
5tected by American ships until the ex-
element is over.
If the Chinese government has tried
in good faith to protect our citizens
suitable punishment for the guilty and
PREPARATION and indemnity for those who
have suffered can doubtless be secured.
If upon investigation it is found that
the Chinese government has not acted
in good faith congress has power TO
deal With the matter. For several years
European nations have been threatens
ing To dismember China, and it is not
strange that their. ambitious designs
should arouse a feeling of hostility to-
wards foreigners.

be directed against American citizens
