lTARRENTON, VA, Oct. 1.-THE suit
for $4,000 dmages brought :,y Miss Mai
Lucy Lection, and which has just been
made public, against United States Sena-
tor William Y. Sullivan, of Mississippi. in
the local Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia for alleged breach of promise to
marry. has been the chief topic Of discus
sion here to-day.
Miss Lection is well remembered in this
place, where she attended the Fauquier
Female Institute. She was entered at the
school in January, 1888, by Senator Sulli-
van as his ward, and remained there until
the closing of the session in June of that
year. While a student at the Fauquier
Female Institute, Senator Sullivan was
frequent visitor to this place, and his at
tentions to his beautiful ward were more
OF a. lover than those OF a guardian and
this lover-like attitude towards each other
was much commented upon.
Usually he would come here from
Washington on Saturday and remain over
Until Monday, and would always have Mss
Lection leave the institute and stop with
him at the Warren Green Hotel during
each brief visit to this place.

Yankee character of marked ability, w II
present his highly successful comedy
drama, Down on the Farm" at the
Academy of Music Wednesday, October
21st..
Although the star and play are new
to the theatre-goers of this city, Doth
are recognized as a standard attraction
in the field of legitimate dramatic art.
..Down or the Farm is described as one
of the most delightfully."- fascinating plays
ever produced with the ever-attractlVe
theme of New England country life for
its subject. 1t has often been compared
by prominent critics with the well-knoWn
success, The Old Homestead" The
story is one of strong hear, interest: its
pathoS and hulnor are SO skltfully
intermingled that it appeals to the artistic
sense Of every auditor.
An eminent writer once said' Success
does not depend upon what a rsen knows,
but what he does How much more sue
cessful, then, must be the man who both
knows and does: Such a. man IS Lewis
Morrison, whose famous production OF
Faust will be presented here in the near
future. Mr.. NIorrison's wide experience
in the theatrical world spans a period
Of nearly two-score years, and covers every
position in the province Of the stage to
5estow, from the carrying of spear to
becoming a gem in the constellation OF
stars in the histrionic armament. His
whole aim in that long period has been
to give the public the very best enteriln-
ment his genius experience, and wealth
could supply. The result is that he fas
accumulated a fortune, and the public has
always been gratified. His greatest sue
cess has been his big production of
Faust this season presented on a much
more elaborate scale than ever before.
All the scenery is positively new, startling
electrical effects are introduced and many
novel mechanical effects presented, par
ticularly in the famous Broken scene.
A chorus promises us classical music. ard
the company is guaranteed to be superior
to that of any former organization pre-
senting this famous play. With This
wealth of establishment to -heishten this
always popular production presentation
of unusual merit is sure to be given.
Faust will be presented at the
Academy Thursday, November list.

to temptation and was now engaged to
Lady Mildred The mad triumph Of
the hour was over; in the darkness
and stiffness his conduct looked very
vile. Not only was he bitterly asham-
ed, but he was alarmed. What were
likely to be the consequences of this
act? Should Lady Mildred once dis
cover that, at the time of his propos-
ing to her, he was in honor bound to
another woman-well, his imagination
was scarcely vivid enough to picture
what might happen. He really be-
lieved himself to be in love with, Lady
Mildred. Difference in rank had
weighed very little; but for the mo-
ment she -wayed his emotions com
pletely, and Marguerite seemed as
nothing beside her. He only felt now
that, with Lady Mildred for his wife,
he might fulfil all the golden dreams
which he had formed since his sudden
acquisition to wealth.
He tried to persuade himself that
Marguerite would not have been hap
Ply with him, that it was truer kind
ness to confess this before marriage
than to cling to an engagement on
which his heart was no longer cen
tered. Besides he was not engaged
to Marguerlte-sh always said so. Had
not her last words to him been, RE
member you are free?" All, but had
he not, in return, held her to his
heart and vowed that he was her
slave? 1t was humlllating position,
and he writhed under it, but deter
mined to put off the evil day OF con-
fession.
While Bernard was thinking thus at
ClarisdaJe, Martineau the Irresistible,
Martineau the heartless, for whom his
stately cousin was suffering all the
pangs of jealousy, was pacing the
dreary length of street in East Lon
don.
1t was very warm night-the at
mosphere in that crowded district was
almost fetid. Now ana then scream
ing and discordant laughter broke the
silence, as various denizens of the
neighborhood reeled home TO their
beds after the nights carouse.

Of feelings contending in her heart.
All day had Valdane absented himself,
and she could not understand it.
1t must be jealousy. of course-that
was clear; but was it possible that she
hadi-sone too far, and alienated where
she had but meant to incite? She
booked round the room as she entered
in search OF him. He was not there
that fact just turned the scale against
him.
Lady Mildred was not going to en-
dure even the suspicion of being
Tilted
"That settles the matter" she said
TO herself Bernard Selwyn shall
propose to me tonight. and I will ac-
eept him"
Later in the evexing Lord Umfra-

defaulter

With his hands behind him, Valdane
sauntered up and down, needless OF
these Interruptions. His face was
very pale; he had no cigar to console
him in his solitude. He seemed like
one who neither knew nor cared
whittier he went. only his sunken eyes
were fixed upon an upper window in
the doctors house-a window where a
light was burning. To and fro he
walked, while still the candle burned
steadily on through the night. He
knew that in that bedroom the woman
who owned all his heart was suffering
the cruelest agony, and that he was
the cause OF It. and he could not help
her in any way-could not mitigate
one pang. The establishment which
he suffered then was the salvation OF
Valdane Martineau. He acknowledged
to his inner self without reserve that
he had sinned. and his whole being
was filled With a deep longing "a
atone.
Her window was open; the nigAl
breeze swayed the white blind. Per
haps she thought the measured traps
in the street below belonged to she

could not know tho despair and hope,

She took a few steps forward, but the

and darted forward. The next mo-
ment she was lying senseless in his
arms.

The uawn came at last, and lighted
UP Valdanes Ragged face. Then, just
as the first red sunbeam fell upon
Marguerites easement the candle went
out.
1t seemed like signal for him to
go. Nothing was now left but to
drink his cup OF humiliation to the
very dregs-to appear to an astonished

lei Brandon, in the carrying out OF
the most infamous Of plots, and to
dissolve the illegal yoke which bound
Marguerite.
Meanwhile a bold front must be
worn to the world; and none could
wear mask better than Valdane Mar

The next day he returned to Claris-
dale. He took the news of Lsdy Mil
dred's engagement with calmness
which made her lose her temper. He
looked ill and old. Every one thought

heart yearned towards him passion
