A Dutch Welcome to Kruger.

Rotterdam, June 20.-Mr. Kruger,
President of the late South African
Republic, was welcomed at the rail
road station on his arrival here last
Wednesday by the burgomaster,
deputations from numerous societies
and many ladies. Two bands of
music on platform played the
Transvaal anthem, and hundreds of
workingmen's societies, with flags,
were drawn up along the streets
leading from the station to the Town
Hall to which Mr.. Kruger was
driven, escorted by guard of for
mcr Transvaal officers.
An official reception followed.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
everywhere.
In speech of welcome at the
Town Hall the burgomastcr spoke of
the similarity between the Transvaal
and Dutch struggles for liberty, and
said that Rotterdam wished, through
MIR. Kruger, to pay homage to the
little Boer nation which had shown
such faith and confidence in it's own
strength.
Mr.. Kruger, in brief reply, de-
plored the fact that his country was
cut off from supplies and ammuni-
ton, whereas the Dutch had then
own supplies during their struggle.
He was fully convinced the Lord
would deliver his country in his own
good time.
A luncheon followed the delivery
of the speeches.
There was grand sercnade and
torch-light procession in honor of
Mr.. Kruger at night. lie witnessed
the proceedings from the balcony of
his hotel. There was immense en-
thusiasm of the people. After the
demonstrations many persons bear
ing illuminated transparcncics in
scribcd, "Silcnco, the President
sleeps!" paradcd the streets to dis
burse the crowd.

strobe back and forth across the room
with all the grace and beauty which
had enthralled his senses year before.
Suddenly she stepped up to him and
laid hand upon his shoulder which
commanded him like the touch of a
hypnotist upon good subject.
"You know. Rowland. that another
rich man wanted to make me his wife

He remembered that she had told
him something of the kind just before
the wedding. and how that fact had
FASTENED his marriage. He nodded.

''But how could you come back from

''The easiest thing in the world.

She saw his fears and good impulses
returning, and to drive them away
she sat down by him and put both her

"Say yes, dear Rowland" she whis-

He made no answer other than to
push her head back passionately, and
then gazing into her eyes an instant
he kissed her on the mouth and drew
her to him.

Mrs. Goddard gave the girl a card
and followed her into a stuffy draw

windows of this room there was tall
pierglass belonging to the style of
half century ago and a concomitant
high and crudely decorated ceiling.
There was a folding bed in the room
and washstand hidden behind Jap
anese screen, which indicated that the
apartment, in emergencies. was used
as bedroom. The place had the air
and the odor of a second-class boarding
house, but the sign in the window told
the street that it was only an apart

CHAPTER ~.

The Goddards breakfasted together
the next morning in a private room
downstairs. The meal passed in ST.
lence, which was broken only now
and then by cheerful remark on the
part of Mrs. Goddard. He was sallow
and depressed. as if he had passed a
wretched night; she was flushed with
triumph and the prospect of winning
in great game. Now that his word
had been tacitly given he had the
cowed air of most men of refined in
stincts who have sold themselves to
the devil. His handsome face was
stamped. too. with the lines of regret
for his downward plunge. and keener
regrets that he was in such a short
time to be separated from her. He
was unable to look her plot squarely
in the face. else he might have had
the courage to introduce certain
white-winged objections which had
flocked around him in the dead hours
of the night when all the city seemed
asleep. Mrs. Goddard ate heartily;
he bolted his food. She said the coffee
and rolls-those dainty crisp things
no larger than a giants thumb-were
alone worth the Inconvenience of
spending a night in the city. When
they had finished she told him she de-
sired that he should go at once to
Lyndhurst and inform Blanche that
she would remain that morning in
town to attend to some shopping, and
that she would be home in time for
luncheon.
81 hope" she added, shat you have
no business to attend to at the office"
He had none. and it gave his heart
wrench to think that her shopping
had to do with her preparations for
her voyage.
"There is something else" abe went
on. "Did anyone at Lyndhurst know
that I took so much money when I
left?"
The major looked confused as he
confessed: blanche happened to be

in Mrs. Goddard. 81 can easily ex-

What Il success? Is 1t ttis-to climb

TO float flag from the highest crag,
And die with resounding name?
What Is success? Is 1t this-to I'LL

And die like the great of old?.
Or Is this successful stay the tide
OF an orphans flowing tears,
To calm the strife In his battle OF life,
Till the rainbow of peace appears?
There Is success whose splendor fades
When falls the coffin lid;
Self-centered men ne'er boast again
When the mortal clay is hid.
There is success whose glory bursts
To endless life and power,
Which was only here, in its little sphere.

In the eternal great beyond.
Beyond earth's din and greed.

In which we sow the seed.

ANCIENT CUSTOMS.
Curious Features Of Social and Court
Etiquette in Various
Countries.
ITO Be Continued.1

Among the Siamese the curious Gus
tom obtains of reversing the elbow
joint of the left arm as sign of superb
ority. The children of both sexes are
trained to reverse their elbow in this
painful position at an early age if their
parents are persons of high grades.
Dunmow, it appears, is not the only
place entitled by custom to grant fitch
es of bacon to married couples for do
nestle harmony.
In the court roll of Whichenoure,
Staffordshire, bearing date of King Ed
ward III, there is stipulation that the
to the married couple who can declare
that they, have lived happily for year
and a day; and, further, that the man.
if freed, would again choose his wife
above all other women.
An inquiry is being made as to the
validity of the terms of the court roll,
and, if they still hold good, claim will
be formulated.
There has never been claimant for
the fitch. The lord of the manor has to
provide the fitch, says the roll, and
whether the present one will shirk the
responsibility remains to be seen.
An interesting English rural custom
is celebrated in the pretty Derbyshire
village of Tissington, just prior to the
Whitsun festival. This is known far
and wide as Tissington well dressing.
The tradition is that once upon time
there was great drought in the land,
when pastures were burned bare, ro-
bust rivers wasted to a trickle, and
there was suffering from want of wa
ter. But to the very end Of the rainless
time the five wells of Tissingten ran
full and clear. So the grateful villagers
one day dressed the wells with flowers
and marked it as holiday for all time
The custom is very old.

"Dear husband" she said. sweetly.

money after his daughters death than
those people?"
II don't know: I never thought
about it. Jeanne"
"Well, I know he would want you
to have it. and have it you must"
II declare you mystify me.''
II have something else to say.
Blanche was in love with you when
first met you. knew it from the ac-
counts you gave me of your visits to
her. I used to think you were fool
not to have seen it. She loved you so
much that"
! 20, how absurd!"
"That when you brought me home
as your wife she swooned away. One
of the maids told me about it. She
pretended to be confined to her room
with a headache. but in reality she
spent the two days in tears. She
keeps diary; it has lock and key,
but one day found it open and read
her heart. She not only loves you,
but she has worshiped you since she
was IS years old. You have thought
she was happy at Lyndhurst. The
truth is she has not had one content
ed moment there. She dislikes me
and imagines me unworthy of you,
and that has only irritated her pas
sion."
Jeanne" said the major. 81 can
hardly believe all this, but even if it
were true, what has it to do with this
awful breach between you and me?"
"You must have her money or
shall never be content as long as
live" The speaker paused as if to let
her statement settle into his dis
turbed consciousness, then she ended:
"You must have it, or I cannot live
with you any longer"
1 "Xou mean" he was unable to pro-
ceed.
81 mean that you and I. Rowland,
without harming the girl in the slight
est, can, after her death, live the rest
of our lives on that money. over half
OF which you have fairly earned by
your business care and Judgment"
ST don't see how we can do it."
Goddard said. after he had endeavored
TO fathom her meaning.
"She has only two years to live at
the very longest, dear. It would mean
= temporary separation between you
and me, but In the end we could make
mp for It. My plan is this: She loves
you and would marry you within q
week after my death If you asked her.

am away absolute proof Of my death
shall be brought to you and the au-
thorities in America. Soon after this
you must marry Blanche and get pos

she dies shall manage to show that
my death was mistake and shall
come back to you"
my God, Jeannel don't-don't ask
this of me!'
Goddard covered his face with his
hands. His wife removed them gently
and put her left arm around his neck.

thing in the world to accomplish, and

Aluminium.

The use Of aluminium is growing, and
its price is decreasing. With the ex-
ception of iron, zinc and lead, it il

the market. Twenty years ago tho
worlds output was about five tons and
its price was about $4,000 ton.
Now the price is less than $500 a ton,
and the output is reckoned at 5000
