need to stop the other girl, for she
stopped of her own accord as soon
as She found that her mistress was

that pale face. "What now, eh !?

fastening his grip surely upon the
maiden's arm, "it Is fortunate have

Pale as death sat The fair young
countess in her dressing room. She
did not tremble now, for every nerve
had become fixed in utter despair.
"Will YOU not change your dress,
my mistrcss?" asked Zcnobie in a
low, tremulous tone.
''No, no. the maiden replied. and
her voice sounded strangely even in
her own ear, il WIS So low and hol-

the stout duke entered. The count
ess uttered one low, quick cry and
sank down. She would have sunk
to the door haa not Zenobie caught
her ana bore hesto the couch.
The monk stood erect, with his
arms folded across his breast, but
his right hand was hidden within
the bosom Of his robe. The duke
started back like one thunderstruck,
and il was some moments ere he
could gain the power Of speech.
He turned FIRST pale as death, and
then the blood mounted, hotly,

Instinctively the duke moved to
one side. There was something in
/ the look and tone Of the strange
man that he dared not cope with
/ then. The monk passed out, but as
soon as he was zone the duke sprang
TO the bellcord and pulled it till he
broke it. In a few moments more
the servants came rushing in.
"Out. dogs" the mailman shout
ed. "and stop that monk from leay-
ing the palace! Kill him on the
spot whore You find him if he dares
TO offer the least resistance. Kill
him! You have my orders, and |

Thus speaking, the duke rushed
from the apartment to start up
more of his household First to the
gate Of the court he went. But the
monk was not there, nor had he
been there. Then he rushed to the
postern, but that was locked, and
The snow was untrodden before il.
Tie returned TO the hall, and one by
one the servants came back from
the search.
No monk could be found!
AT first Olga was tempted to be-
lieye that his servants deceived him.
But he quickly set that thought
aside, for he could see BY their coun-
tenances thgt they were as much
astonishel as he. The search was
renewed, but the strange man was
not to be found. There was some
wonder and some uneasiness.

STRANGE AND COMPLICATED.

Ruric Newell dreamed that he was
great general and that he was up
on the eve Of an engagement. He
gained view Of the commander Of
the opposing army, and he saw that
it was the Duke Of lula. Yet the
duke had an enormous hump upon
his back, and instead of the usual
uniform he wore the garb Of q
priest. This was very strange-at
least so ran Ruric's thoughts in the
dream. Soon the engagement com
menced, and the loud mouthed ar
! tillery opened its thunder. The din
was deafening and strange, and Ru-
RE shouted ia vain to his aids, for
the roar of cannon drank up his
words direct from his lips Louder
Iand more loud grew the crash, and
finally Ruric started for the charge.
/ His horse was shot under him, and,
with a quick leap, he reached his
feet
"Ruric, Ruric, my master"
Slowly the Youth opened his eyes,
and Paul stood by him in his night
clothes. He gazcd about him and
found that he had leapcd from his
4 bed and now stood shiyering upon
the floor.
Don't you hear that racket at
j the door," asked Paul.

knocking" Ruric uttered as he
heard the sound.
"And have you not heard it be-

And thus speaking Paul turned
and went to his own room, where he
threw on an outer garment, and
then he went down at the door he
found stout man wrapped up in
furs, while close by stood. sledge

THE EDITORIAL.

Put man of character, courage and conviction in an editors chair, and his power will be greater than ever. for his audience is five or ten times as great as in the days of Greeley and Prentice, says the Louisville Post. His voice may not reach as far because great newspapers are more numerous. and each state has one CT two of it's own; but bis immediate effect is deeper and the reflex action tells tre- mcndously.
 Undoubtedly the news features of . newspaper have been multiplied, and the newspaper readers are better in formed than in the early days of newspapers but this breadth of in- formation simply establishes higher standard for the editorial page.
 If one will take the successful news papers of today he will at once real ize that the editorial pages have not declined in power. The New York Herald even in Bennetts time was not noted for it's editorial power, but for it's news features The New York Tribune is today a strong influence through it's editorial page and it is that page which gives it it's distinc- ton.
 The New York Sun made much of it's editorial conduct and il was this distinction that won it's power It to- day maintains it's position by its edi- tofal discussions The New York Times overthrow Tweed, and rested o Its laurels. No newspaper can do that. and it lost it's position Recently it has fallen into ab!eg hauds;; t has q character of it's own It's palic%. ia clearly defined on it's editorial page. and hy this work it has regaiued q place i'll New York journalism

Hyde is to take the cotton ques- tions out of the ordinary schedule and transfer them to cards that can not only be more readily reported upon by the core spondents, but be much more quickly tabulated in his office. The change is due to the large number of new agencies employed by the depart ment in the collection of information relative to the condition of crops. which make it impossible announce the grain and cotton report on the same day The cotton report will be even more complete than when it was announced at noon on the lst day of each month.

EIGHT LIVES LOST.
Trains Crnah Together While They
Arc Runnins Mt Full Speed.

Are Running at Full Speed.
Rockford, ILL.,, Dec. 17.-Failure on
the part of conductor to obey orders
| is supposed to have been the cause of @
| head-end collision on the Illinois Cen
| trail between Irene and Perryville early
yesterday morning. The two trains
were the east-bound passenger train
No. and a through freight from Chi
cago going west. AS result eight
people are dead or missing and eleven
injured.
The trains met in a slight bend In the
track, both running at full speed.
The smoking. express and baggage
cars were piled on the locomotives,
penning in the occupants of the smok-
err. Only three of the han-dozen per-
sons In that car escaped. The others
were penned In. and If not instantly
killed were roasted to death and their
bodies. along with those of the engine
crews. were entirely consumed.
All the efforts of the survivors to
reach the victims were unavailing. The
Flames Drove Them BncE
at every point. The temperature was
20 degrees below zero and an icy wind
was blowing across the prairie, the
point where the wreck occurred being a
shallow cut, affording no protection.
The injured were without hats ana
wraps and suffered terribly. BY the
united efforts of the survivors the way
car was pushed back from the wreck
age to escape the flames and the
wounded were placed on the hunks in
side.
Two hours elapsed before any relief
was at hand. Then an engine arrived
from the east and pulled the way car to
Irene, three miles distant.
All the injured are doing we'll except
H q. Wellman Of Chicago, who is in
critical condition.
Six bodies were recovered from the
debris, bu- were charred beyond recog-
milton. Coroner F. M. Marsh will con-
duct the inquests to-day.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-J. w. Higgins, gen.
eral superintendent of transportation
Of the Illinois Central railway, places
the blame for the disa strous wreck at
Perryville. ILL.,. on the conductor and
engineer of the freight train. They
are said by Mr.. Higgins to have diso-
beyed orders, which were to stop at
Irene. several miles east Of Perryville.
