lad rendered her a service the pre-
ceding summer when she was home
from school. To him the act was
nothing, but when it was over she had
hung white and quivering on his arm,
and in that wonderful cadence of hers
had told him that he had saved her
life. He had helped her over the fence
and felt the warmth of her breath On
his face. They had stood and chatted
for awhile and then they had parted.
He had not seen her since, for she was
at school in Boston, but he had never
forgotten the glory of her deep. gray
eyes, the infinite sweetness and
beauty of her face. A thousand times
since that moment he had wondered
if she, too, remembered. Sometimes
when his hopes were brightest he fan
cied that she did-that she must if
only because his mind was on her SO

CLEVELAND NOT DRAWN OUT.
Former Presfdeat's Recent Commun.
ication Docs Not Worry
Democrats.

A Kentucky admirer of Grover
Cleveland attempted to draw him oue
on the subject of the present epoliti-
cal campaign. He did not proceed di-
rectly. He only asked the former
democratic president if he had
changed his financial views since the
publication of his letter on that sub
ject to number of Chicago business
men written in 1895.
In reply to the attempt to draw him
out Mr.. Cleveland said that his opin-
ions had not changed. He had not
seen the letter of 1895 since it was
published in that year, but on look
amend it in any way.
That is all there is of it in any
way. It is not political sensation.
A great many men who four or five
years ago expressed views similar to
those of Mr.. Cleveland at the time
are as firm as he is in their old be-
liefs. They are honest money men
still. There are hundreds of this class
in Chicago. Their names appear on
the recent registration lists Inc every
ward.
This year they are supporting the
national democratic candidates. Their
principles have not changed. They
believe that the dangers to be appre-
hended through the reelection of Mr.
Mckinley are greater than any possible
danger which could come through the
election of Mr.. Bryan.
The fact is that ex-President Cleve-
lands letter does not distress demo-

any piece of legislation ever offered In
congress.
The republicans pretended that the
amendment would not apply to asso-
Citations of farmers and labogers, but
they absolutely refused to accept sec
ton eNempting such organizations
from the operation of the trust amend
ment. That was one of the reasons
why the democrats voted against the
amendment. The democratic party
proposes to assist the farmer and the
workingman to protect their interests.
not to fasten hostile legislation upon
them in addition to the many unjust
burdens which they already bear.
The republicans propose to crush in
dustrial associations was, again seen
clearly when the amendments to the
so-called Sherman antitrust law were
brought in.
The democrats insisted that the
amendments be defined so that they
should not apply to labor organiza-
tions. The house republicans very re-
luctantly accepted the amendment,
passed the bill, and saw to it that their
colleagues in the senate buried the
measure beyond hope of resurrection.
Roosevelt is treading on dangerous
ground when he refers to the record of
the recent congress in relation to trust
legislation. That record will insure
democratic majority in the next house.
Roosevelt might know, if he were
well informed, that the only applica-
ton the Sherman trust law has ever
had in the District of Columbia has
been for the purpose of indicting seven
members of the Carriage Workers
union because they called the attention
of the public to the fact that certain

ing union labor. Great are the USES of

CHAPTER II.

About week after this he heard
that she was home again to remain,
ner school days being over. His in
formant also told him that Carnleigh
was to have visitors i Mr.. James
Hardy, cotton merchant of Charles
ton, who was supposed to be a sutton
for the hand of the co1onel's eldest
daughter, Caroline, and Capt. Charles
Wrinkle, who owned a fine planta ton
five miles beyond the mountain and
was believed to be an admirer of the
young Aebutante.
Ronald was longing to see Evelyn
again, but he met the two sisters and
their escorts sooner than he desired.
He had taken his books and fishing
tackle to a shady nook on the river
bank and was just getting settled
when he heard merry laughter in the
wood between the river and the road
and a moment later the two couples
emerged from the tangle of cane, vines
and foliage. Instinctively Ronald drew
his wide-brimmed straw hat down over
his eyes, and Evelyn did not recog-
niZe him for a moment. He had re-
solved that he should never speak to
her again unless she showed dispo-
quaintance, and he was averse to Put
| ting her to the test before the 9TH
ers. But Capt. Wrinkle knew by sight

termed ''the white trash of that Sec
ton, and he usually addressed them
without ceremony or courtesy. For a
moment he paused watching Ronald's
| line, and then he asked:
care they biting, my MANI"
| Ronald felt the hot blood of anger
rush to his face and his fingers tight
ened on his rod. It was on his tongue
to retort sharply, but Evelyn's pres
ence helped him control his temper.
He made no reply. Capt. Wrinkle curled
his mustache with his white fingers;
he thought the fisherman hadnot heard
his question.
| 81 see you have some bait, my good
fellow" he said in louder tone. will

the boy has not come with ours" and
the captain tossed a silver coin on the
grass near Ronald. There was pause.
Ronald was conscious that Evelyn and
Mr.. Hardy had moved on and that Miss
Caroline was waiting for Winkle.> Then
our hero picked up the piece of silver
and tossed it into the stream, at the
same moment he dotted his hat and
lifted his basket of crickets.
sYou are welcome to them,' he said.

sYou don't tell me-" laughed the cap
tain, shaw, haw!"
Then the negro boy, carrying bas-
ket Of crickets, passed at the top of his
speed. Ronald baited his hook and
flung the line into the stream; his
hands were quivering; he was almost
beside himself with rage. The drone
of voices told him that the fishing party
had paused about forty yards away. The
reflection of the sunlight on the face
of the water was maddening. This,
then, was his long dreamed of meeting
with Evelyn; she would hear her Sis
ter's account of what had taken place
after she had moved on. Half an hour
passed; fish nibbled at his bait, taking
his line round in a circle, but he did
not notice it. Suddenly there was q
light step on the grass near him. It was
Evelyn Hasbrooke and she came to him
with hand outstretched.

THE sULU QUESTION.
Secretary Meiklejohn's Letter to
Bryan Evades the Real
Question.

"Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn,
says a Washington dispatch, has writ
ten to Mr.. Bryan" denying the truth of
the latter's statement that the Nc
Kinley administration has recognized
slavery in the Sulu islands. Mr.. Mike
john ''calls Br. Bryan's attention." the
dispatch goes on to say, "to the fact
that the president approved Gen.
Bates agreement with the Sulu sui
tan with the understanding aid reser-
walton that this agreement was not to
be deemed in any way to authorize or
give the consent of the United States
to the existence of slavery in the Sulu
archipelago. a thing made impossible
by the thirteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States"
That is all very well, Secretary
Meiklejohn. But the sultan and dolos

ders of President McKinley-have
made not the least attempt to interfere
with either of these practices. The

direct violation of the constitution, and
