 He was told and was repaid. Such a light of unutterable joy burned through the misty agony of his eyes as never, it seemed to those who saw, had beamed before in mortal eyes. At midnight, in the great, dim magniicence of the state chamber where he lay and with the low, soft chanting of the chapel choir from afar echoing through the in- censed air, she bent her naughty head down over his couch, and the marriage benediction was spoken over them.
 "You are my own! Death is sweeter than lifev' he said.
 And before sunrise he died.
 Some shadow from that fatal and tragic midnight marriage rested on her still Men thought her only colder, only prouder, but they erred. She was one of those women who, beneath the court ly negligence of a chill manner are ca pable of infinite tenderness, infinite mo- bility and infinite self reproach. A great French painter once in Rome, looking at her from a distance, shaded his eyes with his hand, as if her beau ty, like the sun, dazzled him. ''Exqui- site! Superbv' he muttered. "She is nearly perfect, your Princess Coronaw
 'Nearlyv' cried a Roman sculptor What in heavens name can she want?"

 He placed on h.s bed some peaches bedded deep in moss and circled round with stephanctis, with magnolia, with roses, with other rarer flowers still The face of the artist soldier frightened with longing joy. His lips quivered.
 "Ah, God! They have the fragrance of my France.'
 Cecil said nothing, but moved them nearer into the clasp of his eager hands. Cigarette he did not see.
 .They are beautifully the dying man said faintly at length. "They have our youth in them. How came you by them. dear friend?
 s1They are not due to me-" answered Cecil hurriedly. Princess Corona sends them to you. She has sent great gifts to the hospital-wines, fruits, profit sion of flowers such as those. Through her these miserable chambers will bloom for awhile like a garden, and the best wines of Europe will slake your thirst"
 .It is very kind" murmured Leon Ramon languidly. "But I am ungrate- full. Cigarette here-she has been so good, so tender, so pitiful. For once l have almost not missed you"
 Cigarette, thus alluded to, ssprang to her feet, wish her head tossed back and all her cynicism back again. A hot col or was on her cheeks, the light had passed from her face. she struck her white teeth together. She had thought Bel-a-faire-peur chained to his regiment in the field of maneuver, or she would never have come thither to tend his friend. She tad felt happy in her self sacrifice, sEe had grown into q gentle, pensiye, merciful mood, singing here by the side of the dying soldier, and now the first thing she heard was Of the charities of the princess!
 That was all her reward. Cigarette received the recompense that usually comes to generous natures which have strung themselves to some self surren- der that costs them dear.

Miss Anna Eva Fay, known all over the civilized world as the Fair Mahat- ma. will appear in this city at Poi theater tomorrow night, when she opens an engagement of five nights and two matinees. This announce ment will give pleasure to those who have heard so much of her wonderful performances The first part of her work consists of cabinet work, but en- firelv different from anything done by others. The second part is filled in 9T the four Luciers in their artistic and delightful musical entertainment, 1n- troducing Joseph Lucier, the famous blind cornetist The last part is given by Miss Fay and is entitled som nolency." All kinds of theories are ad- vanced as to how she accomplishes the startling feats that she does in this act. but all so far have been untenable and the mystery is as unsOlyed to-day as It was when she first presented 1t. It is a performance so marvellous, so staggering that 1t cannot be described, but must be seen to be understood. Popular prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents, will prevail during this engagement, and tomorrow night anybody accompanied by the holder of 30 cent ticket will be admitted free.

 She spoke with all her brusque petu- lance in arms. again. She hated that he should imagine she had sacrificed her fete day to Leon Ramon because the artist trooper was dear tq,him.
 He smiled again; he did not under stand the caprices of her changeSul moods, and he did not feel that inter- est in her which would have made him divine the threads of their va garies.-.

New York City. - According to the
statements of Michael Idvorsky Pupin
adjunct professor of mechanics in Co.

has paid him nearly $5O0,00O for his re.

ocean telephony is made possible. This
is in addition to the annual royalty of
$4,000 a year during the life of the
patents.
"The question of ocean telephony is

only remains the commercial question.
There is no doubt that as soon as the
financial part of the matter is settled
it will be perfectly possible to tee.

Professor Pupin said that it was al
most impt sible to give off-hand an eX.

technicalities to be easily understood.
His invention when applied to land

that of the anti-Quay Republicans was
divided among nine candidates.
The election of Colonel Quay ends
the struggle which began at the organ
ization of the Legislature in 1899, anG

ton. Seventy-nine ballots were taken
by the last Legislature without a
choice. and then the Legislature ad

Governor Stone appointed Mr.. Quay {
the Senate, and on April %, 1899. his
appointment was rejected by the Sen
ate by one vote. Pennsylvania has
since had only one United States Sena
tor. Mr.. Penrose.
Colonel Quay received the new of his
election Mt, his residence near the Cap
itol. He was naturally elated with his
victory, but declined to make state
ment. He held an informal reception
for his friends throughout the State,
who came here to be present when the
vote was taken.
The anti-Quayites are out with a
statement declaring that the election
of Mr.. Quay is disgrace to the State
and denouncinS those of their organi'
