CHAPTER XIV.


The rest of the day was spent at
Sarah's house. Here at least were
quiet, calm and peace. No uncanny
mysteries, no disturbing influences
marred the restfulness. The old nurse
herself was certainty; no doubts and
fears were produced by her society.
By her absolute faith in me, by the
many little expressions of devotion to
my best interests, feeling Of security
was inspired, so that when started on
the homeward journey the influence of
Sarah's peaceful abode went with me.
The sun was hanging low, and cool
breeze had risen. I insisted upon
walking, much against Sarah's wish.
But the horses had had hard day in
the fields, and I would not allow them
to be taken from the cool clover patch.
Reminding the good-hearted woman
of her promise to drive over to Nelson
vile early in the morning, started up
the road toward home. The dust had
been laid by the heavy shower of the
morning; the air was bracing; the last
song of the birds was sounding; the
patches of woodland through which I
passed were resplendent in the rays of
the dying sun, which shot golden
shafts through the leafy masses; over
oil were calm and peace and solitude.
My spirits answered to the influences
of nature, and in happy reflective
mood proceeded on my way. In my
mind one beautiful object predomi-
nated-Florence
With the lovely phases of the peace
full evening appealing to the sense, it
seemed natural for my thoughts to
turn to the beloved one-to dwell on
her goodness, her faith. her love for
me.
Anticipation of future happiness,
when my darling should be always at
my side, should be in my life, rounding
it out in the fullness of content, en-
crossed my mind. There were no
cruel forbodings, no forecasting Of
dire events, no warnings. Even the
sight of the station agent, Skinner,
cutting across the fields toward Sun
set Hill, caused only q temporary re-
lapse from my happy mood.
If SINNERS errand was with the
Morleys, Florence would undoubtedly
refuse him admittance after what ]
had told her.
BY the time arrived at my house the
sun had fallen behind the mountains
and only the golden rays remained ir
the western sky and fired the edges o1
the single cloud.
Going up through the yard, I noticed
the door to the cook house was un
latched. I had been unable, in m,
explorations of cherished spots of in
terest in boyhood days, to gain en-
trance to the cook house. The dco
had been locked. and had not con
sidered it of sufficient Importance t.
ask Sonntag for the key.
Wondering why the place should nov
entered.
The recollection of a deep, dark apart
ment underneath, which had been use
as root cellar during my grandfather
time, was brought to mind by seein
that the oorleading to the stairway wa
partly open. Obeying sudden impulse
entered, and, standing on the landing
gazed down into the impenetrab]
gloom.
Now, there was no reason why
should go down into that cellar; never
theless strong impulse urged me on.
AS I cautiously proceeded thri
came over me, something like ths

CHAPTER NIII.-Continued.

Sure we can," Sarah replied, ex.
citedly.
"And bring a crowbar along, and a
sledge-hammer, if you have them. If
we cannot cut the thick beams in the
floor of my room, we may be able to
dig through the foundation WALL This
is the last night I will spend in the old
house with the mystery of the cellar
remaining unsolved, if there is any
mystery at all"
My old nurse insisted on my remain
ing at her house for dinner, and left
me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat I could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of anything
but their forms.
Remembering then that my field
glass had been left here at Sarah's
house on the morning of my arrival, !
called in to have her bring it to me,
which she did.
Taking the glass from the case I adj
justed it to my eye and then turned it
toward the station.
My sight had not deceived me even
in the momentary glimpse of the face
at the window.
The face was Horace Jackson's, and
there the fellow was now, standing on
the edge of the platform, speaking most
earnestly, judging by the vehement
gestures, to the station agent.

Talbot Nominated.

Hon. Joshua Frederick Cockey
Talbot, of Baltimore County, was
nominated without opposition at
Havre de Grace on Wednesday, by
the Second congressional district
convention, and the following reso-
buttons adopted as the platform of
the part:
1.-THE Democracy of the Second
Congressional district of the State of
Maryland indorses the platform of
the Democratic party as enunciated
at Kansas City July 4, 1900, and
also the able and eloquent presen-
tation of the vital issues involved
in the coming struggle, as set forth
by the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan in his speech of acceptance
of the Presidential nomination, and
we declare that anti-imperialism
and opposition to the monopolistic
tendencies of the Republican party
are the paramount issues of this
campaign, the doctrine of imper-
ialism menacing as it does the very
existence Of our democratic form of
government.
Resolved, That the convention
adopt as its party emblem the por-
trait of jackson, the harp and
hickory tree, as heretofore used by
the Democratic party in this State.

Direct Legislation.

We have received quite lengthy
article from DIR. Hill, of Baltimore,
a kind of rejoiner to our remarks
or his communication published
recently in the Journal. The Doc
tor does not advance anything of
value or that is new on the subject
of direct legislation. The question
is readily understood by any one
who cares to understand it. The
subject at issue is not whether
direct legislation would be a great
advantage to the public, but how
to secure it. The great majority of
people favor direct legislation, but
they are shut out from it by our
cast iron constitutions, National
and State.
A few crotchety economists inn
agine they can build up a great
national party by going before the
public on this single idea. Of
course every person with ordinarily
well balanced judgment knows,
from the very nature of conditions
this is impossible. The single
takers tried the same thing and of
conrse met with a most dismal fail
ure, and the prohihitionists and a
dozen more one idea parties have
essayed the same thing. Such
efforts for securing economic re-
forms have never, and can never
succeed.
Suppose an impossible thing, but
for the sake of argument, that the
Union Reform party elected
President and secured majority
in both houses of Congress, the
party could not advance a single
step in its proposed mission. Right
across its way stands the constitu-
tion of the United States and that
of every State. These fundamental
laws would have to be changed, not
by direct vote of the people but by
a painful process, made diffiult on
purpose by statesmen who doubted
the ability, if not the right, of the
people to govern themselves.
| There is no one who understands
the question of direct legislation,
who does not admit its desirability
and beneficient results, but they
know that lot of cranky econ
omists can never secure it or even
aid in securing it, by their attempt
to establish national party with
tickets in the field and all the
paraphernalia of political machin-
cry to manage. 1t can't he done.
The only method possible is to teach
the public and advance by ordinary
political organizations, here a little
and there a little.
/ Tt is almost evolution to secure
political reforms in this govern
ment, the people have been so COM
pletely locked out from taking any
part in the direction of their public
affairs. The corporations buy their
favorable legislation by bribing the
delegates elected by the people to
use at their pleasure the political
power of the whole people, placed
in their hands, without reserve of a
single right.
The Union Reform party is or
ganized and represented by o class
of persons whose heads are full Of
economic crotchets, ard will never
amount to "row of pins" They
are defeating their own object, and
wasting time, energy and money in
a misdirected effort. We would
publish DR.. Hills lengthy article
if it was not barren of any infor-
nation or interest to the public.

Republican Nominee.

Albert A. Blakely, of Baltimore
county, cotton manufacturer, was
nominated last week for Congress
by the Republican convention Of
the Second district.
The resolutions passed by the
convention manifest fanatical
earnestness over the gold standard
1t would seem that the Republican
party lives principally for the care
of the gold standard and tho gold
standard exists for the benefit OF
the banks. The convention SOL
EMMY resolved:
"The candidate whom we shall
this day nominate can be depended
upon at all times and under all cir.
cumstances, to support the gold
standard. He will not go into
caucus with its enemies. His vote
for Speaker will never be given to
any man who is an advocate of the
free coinage of silver.''
