bappy time, but one evening Alan got
rather n nasty shock. He had been
seeing Joyce, and they had spent the
usual happy time together. He was
immersed In thoughts and dreams OF
her, and was not looking very much
where he was going. Turning cor
ner sharply he ran up against man
who seemed a little unsteady In his
gait.
II beg your pardon!" Alan said.
The man uttered an imprecation. Al
the first sound of his voice Alan
thought that 1t was familiar to him.
He gave a start. "Hutchinson! ne
cried. The man looked up A .gleam
of recognition lit up his drnk-sodden
eyes, and with the recognition there
came, too, a CLEAN of hatred.
"It's you" he cried, and he swore
again.
"Yes," said Alan, "and l am sorry
to see you like this. Can l do any
thing for you, Hutchinson"
do anything for me? You? I'll
trip you yeti" cried the man, his
hatred flashing like knife. do you
think have forgotten how you got
me turned out, how you ruined me?
No! And l will be even with you yet

Of mine, too! always thought that
l will be even with you yet, my fine
young man"
Well" said Alan, coolly, 81 would
have helped you If you would have let
me; not that l regard your threats. 1t
was your own dishonesty and nothing
else that was your ruin. And as for
the girl, you are right there. | mar

she was no daughter of yours, and
you knew it"
Hutchinson's surprise got the better
of his caution. Il brought her up"
he said, "even IL she was not my own.
In way she was mine. And so you
married her, did you? And now you
say she is dead"
''She is dead, poor soul!" said Alan.
''Died in the wreck of the Valparaiso
four years ago; and I'm to be married
again. l wish you would let me help
you, Hutchinson"
An evil sneer crossed Hutchinson's
face. Married again. are you? Soon?
Well, will wish you joy, you and
your bride. You may have an unex-
pected guest at your wedding, al
though l am not quite sure. We will
see what way things will go. Good
by, my fine gentleman"
He left Alan with a curious sense
that something untoward had hap
pened, although the young man could
not say what it had been.

1nrrsdisnts Of Toilet soan.

The basis of the better qualities of
toilet soap is generally curd or yellow
soap, in the making of which special
precautions are taken to insure alb
sence of free alkali. This is most i'm
portant, as otherwise the soap would
be altogether unsuitable for toilet pur
poses, the free alkali being injurious
TO the skin. This is the reason why so
many of the cheaper laundry soaps
produce chapped hands and similar
results when used for toilet purposes.
If. on the other hand, there is an ex-
cess of fat, the soap is greasy and does
not possess the cleansing properties
good soap should. A laundry soap may
be made without much difficulty by
an amateur. but 1t is better to buy.
whatever toilet soap is required, for
the reasons stated. and also because
special apparatus Is required to make
a soap Of irst class quality.

Motive Is the Ground Color for His
torical Pictures.
Unless an author can maintain, with
out deviation, from the first to the last
pages of his book, the language of the
period of which he writes, his work
will be better, his pages will be more
easily read; and whatever true atmos-
phere he may be able to create in other
ways will be more convincing if he
writes in the language of his own
times. No books have a stronger fla
vor Of their own period than the DAr-
tagnan rOmances, well translated into
modern English. 1t were as well for
an English author to attempt to give
German atmosphere to a story of Ger
man life by writing it in broken Eng
lish, as to attempt to give oldtime fla
vor to an old-time tale by writing in
tongue composed of both the old and
the new. If l am right in my conclu-
sions, atmosphere may be impaired by
facts and language, subject to the con-
ditions above stated. These two meth
ods, although generally attempted,
more frequently fail than succeed.
Novels wherein old-time phrases and
historical facts only are relied upon to
give old-time color are accepted with
out question, perhaps, by those who do
not know the period of which the nov
els treat, or do not care to analyze the
question. But to an inquiring mind,
knowing the period, such novel as to
its atmosphere is usually as disap
pointing as wet gunpowder. 1t is from
the setting of the story and from the
acts, motives, and methods of thought
of the characters that true atmosphere
may be impaired. What the charac-
ters are made to feel, do, and say give
real atmosphere. What they say is the
important matter; not how they say it.
Motive is the ground color for all his
torical pictures. There is no period in
history of which we have a complete
view. At best we can only catch
glimpses of the environment of men
and women who have preceded us, and
who have faded into the dim, hazy
light Of the past We have but frag-
mentary pictures, that come to us in
sections, like the picture blocks of a
child, with many parts missing. Those
parts which We lack we try to fill in as
best we can, guiding our hands, as we
draw, by the parts we have.-Charles
Major in the June Scribners.

THE ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION.
To be Completed THIS weck-Already
Doing Large Business.

Topeka, Aug, s7.-The last spike on
the new extension of the Rock Island
which has been built westward out OF
Chickasha, l. r., will be driven about
the middle of this week. This new
extension, about which much has been
written, lies westwardly out of Chick
asha. For nearly its whole extent 1T
runs through the rich and fertile
Washita valley, cutting the northern
portion of the great Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache territory, which will be
opened up to settlement in few
months. The line is about o. miles
long, and it's present terminus is Man
gum the county seat of Greer county.
Already there ars several stations
located along this line.
The value of this new extension OF
the Rock Island road, will make itself
apparent, at the opening of the hio-
wa, Comanche and Apache territory,
which will be thrown open to public
settlement as soon as the proclamation
is issued by the president. Lying as
it does through this land which is tho
last of the large Indian tracts, it will
play an important part in the settle
ment of this territory. Even at the
present time the two trains per day are
crowded, both with freight and pas
sengers, and as soon as the line is com
pleted, two passenger trains and two
freight trains will be placed in service

Army of the Republic, that while the
president had intended reaching Chi

departure from Washington and may
possibly prevent him from visiting
Chicago at this time. If the president
finds that he can leave here so as to be
present at some of the exercises he
will do so. The president fully real

PROCTOR ON PORTO RICO.
Senator From Vermont Delivers 4
Speech UNFOLDING Free Trade.

Speech UphoIding Free Trade.
Washington, March 30.-Notice was
given in the senate by Mr.. Depew (N. "
that he would address the senate on Mon.
day next ON the Porto Rican bill. Mr..
Spooner gave notice that he would ad-
dress the senate next Monday on the
Porto Rico BILL
Consideration of the Porto Rico bill
was resumed at the conclusion of the
routine business, Mr.. Proctor (Vt.) ad-
dressing the senate.
In opening his speech Mr.. Proctor ex-
pressed his approval of the civil govern
ment feature of the pending bill and his
regret on account Of the tariff provision
that he could not vote for it. He review
ed briefly the history Of the. proposed
Porto Rican tariff, quoting the president
in his annual message and the secretary
of war in his annual report as favoring
free trade between the island of Porto
Rico and the United States. Then he re-
ferred to the sudden change that some
how had been wrought and said:
SIS it strange that some Of us, in lack
of an official statement or apparent rea-
son for this sudden shift, should be slow
to give up line of action which we be-
lieve to be based on principle and JUS
tice, which we believe to be she only hon
est and consistent course? 1t is charged,
do not know with what truth, il any,
that this change was demanded and
brought about by the sugar and tobacco
| interests, and also, it is stated, by organ
| lied labor.
81, however, have failed to see that
| the representatives of this latter inter-
est appeared before the committee. Ii
is practically admitted that free trade
with Porto Rico does not harm these in
| terests materially, but they claim that il
creates precedent that may harm them
| if adopted in reference to the Philippines
| and Cuba. 1t will be time to cross those
rivers when we come to them, and. in my
opinion. the crossing will not be difficult
when the proper time comes for action.
"The people," continued Mr. Proctor,
'1ook upon this as matter of principle,
a question of good faith and common
honesty. and their moral sense has been
shocked and the national heart and con
science stirred by the fear that this
measure Of taxation will be adopted by
congress. The people believe as the
president did when he wrote in his an
nual message that our plain duty is tC
abolish the customs tariff between the
| United States and Perto Rico.' The
people know that sentence by heart, ant
4 they will repeat it millions Of times with
in the year from it's deliverance unless
| we perform what the president says i

this is a question not of mere policy, bu
