CHAPTER XXXvI.-(Continued
"What do you mean? asked the
young man, haughtily. 81 neither un-
derstand you nor your story, woman.
What power could you have over Rob-
,ert Clive?"
''The power of one who held his hon
or in her hands-the power of one VINO,
by word, could disgrace his name
the name that he would have left
proud legacy to his children-the power
of one who could at this moment cast
those children, dishonored and pennl-
less, upon a cruel world. My power,
you ask? Ha, ha! Mr.. Give, it is too
great for even the naughty master OF
Give Towers to defy, for it reaches to
his fathers grave. Now, what are
your terms? How will you treat with
me?"
..As the traitress, the hypocrite, the
would-be despot that you are!" ex-
claimed Herbert, fiercely. "Leave the
room, woman-leave my Dresence!-l
defy you to do your worst!'
The slender form Of the housekeeper
trembled with passion.
"YOur fathers name, your father s

Herbert" -"nothing but the silent devil

finging his arm about the waist OF MS

ragged woman to the door. If my

Cherry juice splashed on his freckled

Of the bench sat his sister, sun

hesh up and finish that crock Of cher
ries, I'll tell yer pa when he comes.
Do ye hear? I'll tell yer pa when he
comes" And Mrs. Hopper became
quite dramatic as she waved the long
spoon over her head.
Pa must have been much feared
person, for both children gave fright
ened glance at each other, then down
the narrow alley, and then fell to work
with vim.
Five minutes later Liddy got up to
empty her pan of pits, and she knocked
against the bucket. Mrs. Hopper, hear
ing Bob's voice, and thinking they
were quarreling again, stepped out.
and in shrill voice cried out: "You,
Liddy, set down; you, Bob, o Lor'!
what ails them chillren! Eff you can't
stop your fussin' I'll tell yer pa when
he comes-and here he comes this min
ute."
Liddy sank down in her sudden fear
on the edge of the bench, and over
went bench. pans, pits. Bob, and all.
The various sounds that issued from
the woodshed awhile later informed
the summer boarder across the way
that Mrs. Hopper had told pa.-Chica-

ph,ladelphia's Splendid Growth.

Experts who have been following
the census returns closely state that
there will be an increase of popula-
ton in the city of Philadelphia Of
from 275,OOO to 100000. Adding the
former and lowest estimate to the fig
ures of 1890, which showed the popu-
lation to be 1,046,964, the grand total
population of the city will now be
1921 1854.

The Dining Room.

Every dining room should have it's
rug. The quality of this rug must,
however, vary with the purchasing
power of the individual. Two things
ought to be remembered. The rug
must not be SO thin that it rolls up
with every chair that is drawn across
1t, nor so thick that no chair can be
drawn ct al. says Harper's Bazaar.

New York's Building Decline.

Increased cost Of materials is as
signed as the cause of New York
city's decline in building. The first
three months of 1899 permits taken
out represented buildings to cost
$3s, 100000; the same time this yeas
the amount was $4,000. 900.

Peril. of Translation.

The translating of the English spir.

often causes ludicrous readings, which
are quite equal to any of the slangy ir-

You see, at home" he would say,
I'VE have very complete plans for mo
b~ilization, and we are always on a war
footing"
When the Beer war began Johnson
took heart again. He became very mill
tary in his bearing and he twisted his
mustache fiercely.
THE Beers are brave enough and
all that, but we have the science" he
said, land that is what counts. It's
going to be a pretty little fight and l
wish | were going to be in it. We do
that ort of thing at home, you know,
in a more businesslike way than you
do"
When the news of the first Eng
fish reverses arrived Smith ventured
to say that the Americans began the
Cuban campaign more successfully.
Just wait a bit, old man, and you
will see how a scientific campaign
should be conducted" said Johnson.
Another reverse was announced and
Smith took his revenge with full meas
ure.
How about the scientific campaign
now?" he said. You don't seem to
have studied the art Of scouting in
England. No eXcuse for two blunders
of the same kind"
Johnson was puzzled. Then news
anne of a worse reverse and Johnson
stayed away from the Office. When he
did turn up his expression was such
chat Smith did not have the heart to
recall the scenes of the Cuban cam
paign. Johnson has stopped talking
about the superior way in which things
are done at home. His only reference
to it was made several days ago, when
Smith refrained from making any COM
mcnt on Warren's disastrous move
ment. johnson evidently expected
some apt selection from his copious
criticisms of the Cuban campaign, and
when Smith didn't quote, he said:
by Jove, old man, l don't think we
would act as you do at home. | rubbed
it in on you during your war and now
you have refrained from rubbing it in
on me. | don't think that at home we
would have RETAINED"
1t was not a great surprise to Smith
to hear that Johnson had declared his
intention of becoming an American
citizen.

a recent editorial in the Buffalo Bulle-
tin:
The fact that the average number
of acres leased to any one party is less
than 700, goes to show that it is the
stockman who wants 10 lease the
land and not the big outfits as the edi-
tor of the Voice would have us believe.
In all of our conversation with ranch
men upon the subject, and we have
talked with a number. most of whom
were men who own from 100 to $40
acres of land, not one of hem were
opposed TO the leasing of state land. A
large part of the land leased has not
and cannot have water upon it, under
the present system of irrigation. What
the ranchman ants is some place near
his home ranch for pasture and the
hills answer his purpose as well If not
better than the level land for cuItiva-
ton. The man who owns 100 head OF
stock cannot afford to use the open
range, and is rapidly becoming aware
VI u at ~ 10 OhlS III ma WIN
has the large herds that can afford to
put wagons and men on the open range
to care for his stock. If the small
%ranchman can lease say 100 to 800 acres
adjacent to his ranch and fence it in,
he can care for his stock without such
an outlay, thus placing him on the same
footing as the large owners"
While the above refers particularly
to the need of the ranchman for small
tracts of state land, yet the same ar
gument applies with equal force to the
small sheepmen-the little fellow who
cannot afford to buy ranches INT land
scrip filings galore, and yet is justly
entitled to protection through state
land to create and protect his range, as
the big outft.-Budget.

Fashionable Court Function Which
Was Purchased.

Mrs. Alice c. Emerson has become
Alice c. Calkins by virtue of a decree
in the county court making her the
grass widow of Willis George Emer-
son. She has been permitted to resume
her maiden name, and another Capitol
hill home has been broken up.
Mr.. Emerson is an attorney and lit
erateur, and the couple were otherwise
prominent. He put up only a nominal
defense.
While the case was in progress the
court had the resemblance of a society
pink tea-there was the CLEAN of seal
skin fur, rustic of silk and waving of
plumes. 1t was a fashionable divorce.
There were no congratulations and no
gifts, of course.
Mrs. Emerson stated that Willis
George Emerson had married her in
Ogden, Utah, in 1891, and since then
they have lived in Chicago, Colorado
Springs and Denver. He was inexcus-
ably and ~unbearably jealous, she al
legged. He would leave her ostensibly
for journeys out of town and suddenly
return. Il told him his charges were
untrue and he said | led Mrs. Emer-
son testified.
Have you any testimony to offer?''
asked Judge Steele of the defense.
None" was the reply,
The divorce was evidently prearrang-
ed. The jury had no difficulty in find
ing the defendant guilty and was
prompt in reporting a verdict.-Denver
Post.

Crocodiles, like ostriches, swallow
pebbles and small stones, which serve
the purpose of grinding their food. The
natives assert that it is possible to tell
the age of a crocodile by the number of
stones in its stomach, for they swal-
low N each year. In point of fact,
fifteen stones have been found in the
stomach OF a crocodile twelve feet long,
whereas the average number for youn-
ger ones varies between four and eight.
So says Mr.. Voltkow. who has been
studying the matter for several years.

republicans have given to the country
is to overwhelmingly defeat the demo-
cratic party next NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Democrat.
