CHAPTER NXVI.
Claricc Triumphant.

Hantlin, the detective, was not the
only one who had observed the change
in Clarice.
Brian Mowbray, her father, had been
the first to note it; and, remembering
how he had left her at their last inter-
view, he marveled greatly, and could by
no means understand it.
"Can she have heard anytning?" he
asked himself could that French
hussy by chance have had any know
ledge of the true criminal? But, pshaw!
I am growing fanciful-and that is quite
imrossible!"
But, all the same, Mr.. Mowbray took
occasion to make special inquiries in the
household, and he questioned Susan,
particularly.
From her he learned that the French
maid had left under suspicious circum-
stances, and that Mrs. Grayson seemed
very angry with her and had sent for
the detective.
This both surDrised and alarmed him,
a favorite with his daughter, and the

With this end in view, he scarcely
left the house for his daily walk or
drive, and though he spent most of the
time in the library or in the suite OF
apartments he had chosen for his own
use, he managed to make himself ia
miliar with every detail of the bust
ness passing around him.
He paid Susan Well, and he felt salts

earned her reward, for she kept him in

But this explanation failed to satisfy
him. and he hovered about the hall and
stairway during the whole time Of the
interview between his daughter and the
detective.
When Clarica came out. her radiant
face made him still more uneasy: and
when she brushed past him without a
word, toward her own sitting room. on
the next floor. he followed her, and
knocked. somewhat timidly, at the door.
The knock was rot responded to. and

Care of the Complexion.

Many persons with delicate skin suffer
greatly in winter from chapping. Ere
quently the trouble arises from the use
of impure soap and cheap salves. The
face and hands should be washed only in
clear, hot water with Ivory Soap. A lit
tie mutton tallow or almond oil may be
used after the bath to soften the skin.

of The United States to take the same

Democratic Burden.

The Democratic party is struggling
with Bryan. To repudiate or not to
repudiate, that is the question; whet1-
err it is the better policy on the part OF
the Democratic party to suffer the
sings and arrows of outrageous pol1t-
iCa1 fortune due to brilliant but false
leader, or take up arms against a sea
of troubles and by repudiating dan
gerous guide end them. There is no
doubt that the situation of the Demo-
cratic party is sad predicament. 1t
is true that Bryan has brought contu-
sion and defeat into the Democratic
ranks. But still he is brilliant man
and a brilliant leader. He is man OF
great e1oquence, and an almost mex
haustible energy. With sound issue
he might do big things. But there is
the past. If it were only possible to
undo that; if Bryan could only ami
hi1ate those past years and their record
of fantasy hunting and prophecy and
promise unfulf1led he might still be a
power in the Democratic party. These
considerations, however, are 1nsupera-
bic. And now what shall the Demo
cratic party do? Where can they turn
for another man upon whom they can
place the insignia Of leadership !?
Throughout the length and the breadth
of the land there seems to be no avail
able leader of the hosts of Democracy.
Why? Because there has come upon
the Democratic party an interval OF
enforced id1eness. 1t is not, after
all, the leaders in things political that
make the conquests. It is the prlnc1-
pie on which the struggle is made.
The Democratic party is now without
an issue. No doubt, in the course OF
human events, there will arise an oc-
casion that will give to the Democratic
party IN issue upon which the people
of the United States will be able to
unite. Then Democracy will have its
day and a leader will be produced with
the occasion. Such is history But at
present, what hope is there? What
call is there for a change in the ad-
rninistration of affairs? Free silver is
a dead issue. Anti-imperialism, anti
trust and the like have been tried and
found wanting. Even the matchless
orator, Bryan, could not sufficiently
work upon class prejudice to make a
factiona1, social issue a success. Then
what is left? Plainly Democracy must
repudiate Bryan and Organism, and sit
quietly as possible and wait until less
propitious fortune overtakes the
United States and it's people, and
knocks at the door where Democracy
sleeps and calls her to embrace her OPP
portunity.

HAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Victor Maloney Falls in o'Plaine River
and is Rescued by Companions.

The town of Pleasant Prairie was
the scene of what might have been a
tragedy Thursday afternoon, but for
the strenuous efforts and presence of
mind of two ten year old boys. Little
Victor Ma1oney, the son of Clerk of
the Court Maloney, and his two young
friends, Harold Cone and Ralph Gam
BILE, were fishing at the bridge over the
O'Plaine river on the Wilrnot road in
the town of Pleasant Prairie. They
had caught quite a string of fish which
they had let down into the water by
means of string fastened to the rail
ing of the bridge.
The bridge is about twelve feet
above theswater. When they were
about to leave their fishing at noon
Thursday young sMahoney climbed
over the railing Of the bridge to reach
for the fish as they were being pulled
up. He lost his footing and fell in.
AS quickly as possible Harold Cone
held the fish'po1e over for his compan-
ion to grasp. AS Ma1oney took hold
of it the pole broke and again let him
into the river. Again Cone secured
the other rod at once and with this
managed to keep the helpless boy
above the water while Ralph Gamble
made off in all haste to the nearest
house, that of Frank Rockwell, that
was fully a quarter of mile away.
When Rockwell and Gamble arrived
they threw a rope, which they had
brought, to the assistance of Maloney
and with it managed to pull him to the
edge of the bridge, when, in his at
tempts to clutch the railing, he lost his
hold and again fell into the river.
This time Rockwell jumped into the
water, and with the assistance of the
rope in the hands of the boys on the
bridge, he managed to get the unfor-
tunate boy safely to land.
The action of the boys is remarkable
None lost their heads and even Victor
Ma1oney, whose life was so much in
danger, acted in way that materially
facilitated his rescue.

The Ideal Husband.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY has lived a
good1y while, being something like
eighty years of age and has had ample
opportunity to make observations OF
one kind and another. That she has the
disposition to go where observations
may be made that are of a diverse kind
and character is proved, by the fact
that she has recently given herself to
making observations on the manifold
life and activity of the city of Chicago
She even went so far as to attend a
horse race, and possibly there are
things in which the venerable spinste1
INDUCED that are not made public.
At any rate after these years of careful
and diversified observation Miss
Anthony gives it out as her opinion
that the age of the ideal husband has
just arrived. Not that the ideal hus.
band is an actually, but that the hus.
band ideal has been conceived and
made possible some time. The femin-
inc mind has, been sufficiently ernanci-
pated to conceive an ideal husband. II
has so broken away from the an.
cient servitude and subservience that
it now has both the reason and the
data with which to picture the ideal
husband, and the courage to in.
dulge in the fond contemplation that
the article of husband that has been
forced upon enslaved woman in the
past centuries is not all it should be,
and that it is the privilege and the
pleasure of womankind to make the
gender upon whom they have turned
the tables understand that they may
become ideal by reforming themselves
in this and that and the other
respect. In other words, woman
has at last become so thor
ough1y emancipated in body,
mind, politics and all, that she
may now not only set up a standard
for husbands, but she may safely GO
to work to reform the sex, point out to
man what constitutes the ideal hus-
band and see to it that man falls into
line with becoming grace.

National University

THE idea of a National University
situated at Washington is not by any
means without opposition. There are
many men, influential in politics and
education throughout the United
States. who are violently opposed to
the scheme. What will be the final
outcome of the discussion remains
question, but should it be finally con-
cluded that it is the part of wisdom to
esta blish such an institution, the Ecole
Libre des Sciences Politiques, in Paris,
in our opinion, offers a good sugges-
ton for the consideration of the Asso-
citation. The program of this school
provides not only for instruction IN
what we should understand as the pc
litical sciences-namely, those relating
to government and administration, in
GLIDING courses in diplomacy-but 1t
also offers excellent preparation for
posts Of initiative or control in the
great industrial and financial compan-
les, especially banks, railroad compan-
les. financial corporations, etc. In
other words, it is school of commerce
and finance as we'll as politics.
Such an institution would seem to
answer the demands of this country
and would in way fill a want. The
fact that the course of study pursued
in the Paris school has met with ap-
prevail by the large colleges and uni
versities of this country and that they
have even attempted in small degree
to initiate is an indication of merit.
