CHAPTER III,

Richmond at the time these events were occurring was in tumult of ex- ctement. The quarrel between the north and south in congress had long since reached the acute stage, and preparations were forming for that titanic struggle which was to shake America for four long years. South Carolina had led off. followed by Ala bama, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia. Louisiana and Texas. The capital of the confederacy was in the far south. and while no one expected that Rich mond was to become the center of po- litical intrigue, it had been easily fore seen that Virginia. being slave state. would join her southern sisters, and that if war followed she would furnish the battle ground by reason of her geo graphical position. Few people be- ieved in serious conflict to come. but there were some who foretoId a bloody struggle, and these were among the powerful. who gave time and direction to public sentiment.
 There was much discussion in state military circles, and a confident pre- tliction that when the crisis came the south must recall her sons from the service of the union. and enlist them under the banners of the states rights party, leaving many vacancies difficult to fill
 Upon his couch in the rooms of Rich mond's popular physician Richard Somers lay, convalescent. His wound proved easy of management and healed rapidly. But in the empty hours given tohim for recovery he reviewed his late experience. and with small comfort for himself. Carried away by sentiment, he had permitted himself to involve seriously a young girl intrusted to his care. He had acted like sentimental boy. he told himself, rather than as 2 man coolly transacting piece of busi- ness to which friend had commis- stoned him. Evidently the whole mat ter hinged upon the succession of prop erty, and he was simply an instru- ment. But he had suffered himself to be swept along by sentiment, and had declared his love for g. girl altogether unknown to him--indeed. unseen. h conclusion. somebody had put . bullet thfapeA .Atn : had 4Ae, an2x slieteaEa

PAULINE HALL.

; The principal feature that attracted tle crowded house at the Jacques last night was the well known and popular singer. Miss Pauline Hall. True, there were other distinct features, but she was accorded an unusual welcome. The Wilbur Opera company carries to- day many of the same singers who have made operas so interesting ,on former occasions. There were sever al new faces seen. but the company Is q clever one throughout and gave an excellent rendition of the opera of '.Erminie Miss Hall was ill excel lent voice and the work she mapped out for herself was carefully ana pleaSin.ly accomplished. Her ward robe attracted much attention and the generous display of diamonds caused the people to open their eyes in won der. The various characters were well taken and each made Il favorable i'm precision upon the audience. The en- Eagement of the company is for all tliis week, and no doubt there will be crowded performances at every enter Iainment. Tonight the company will present Fra Diavolo.'' and tomorrow afternoon the matinee will be 'The Grand Duchess.

upon his fingers as he touched the prostrate man, and rising hastily, struck a match. Somers lay senseless before him, the young woman kneel- ing by his side staring speechlesay upon her bloody hands. His quick glance swept the room and rested upon her. The match fell to the floor and went out, leaving the scene to blacker darkness.
 'Remorse!" he said, in whisper, and was still. Railying his faculties at length, Dr. Brodnar hurriedly lit the gas, and with his stern features contracted examined the fallen man and saw wound back of the right temple from which the dark blood was still oozing.

Spain's National Sport.

Bun-fighting, Spain's national sport, was supposed to be too strongly intrenched in the spirit and traditions of the people ever to be- come distastefnl 10 them, but il now appears destined 10 be swept away before the march of civilization. At a recent mass meeting in Barcelona, the scene of many gory contest be- tween matador and bull, resolutions were passed condo inning the sport as cruel and brutaiizing, and calling upon the government to suppress it throughout the peninsula. The fact .attes1s the power of the huma anizing ideas and influences which, slowly but surely, are transforming the world into better and happier abid- ing-place for man and animal alike.

The fine Greek statue in bronze re- gently discovered near Pompeii has been placed in the Naples museum
 where examination has shown it to be covered with layer of fine silver This peculiarity gives the statue unique value,s as there is believed to be no other bronze statue in the world so covered, though several o; the more valuable Greek master pieces. like the bust of Berenice and the dancers of Herculancum, in the Naples museum, have their lips or s1heir garments ornamented with sill yer. The fact that the bronze of the etatne is completely covered with the precious metal is considered proof that the Pompeiians themselves. val ned it highly.-Chicago Chronicle.

Coal Output Increased by Machine.

The United Kingdom has nearly twice as many miners as there are in the United States. Germany also give> work to more miners than this country employs, and yet this country turns out great deal more iron and coa1 than either of those kingdoms. The reason why we obtain a far greater product with a much smaller minin g force is that we use great deal of i'm. proved mining machinery. so that though we pay the highest wages inc cost of mining is less in this country &han in most European lands.-In 1ianapclis Journal.
