Tn aa Silken Snare By ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ.
Copyright. 1901. by Auth prs Syndicate,

TIE SAT in his studio, lost in his
 dream, dream of early summer and bloss oming boughs, under which girl walked. His thought followed her as she went on her way out o1 the picture, down a lane, and to ar old gray house under tall trees.
 He did not hear the tap on his door nor the step across the thick rug He started at the hand on his shoul der, the small hand that was covered with a perfumed and dainty glove He turned dream-drowsy eyes upon the woman who smiled at him.
 Your wits must be wool-gather- ing, indeed,' she cried, flor knocked three times. l knew you were here.'
 He reused himself.
 ''I have been painting all day." he made reply, painting until forgot where I was.'
 She glanced about.
 ''This is not a bad place to wake in nor am I a bad person to wake you. l have good news, Eustace. Col Verkamp will see you tomorrow about sitting for his portrait"
 The artist threw back his forehead locks.
 '.Oh, yes! but I am tired of DOT. traits. I cannot idealize the colonel It is better to paint pictures of wom' en-they are suggestive, at least, o1 ideals"
 She shook out her lilac silken skirts.
 Where is my portrait? What more have you done to it?"
 .'Not much-my mood changed"
 She gave him sharp glance.
 sYour mood changed-and you be. gan painting girls in country lanes! Always the same. Is there bit ot concentration, of fidelity, in your make-up?"
 It was his turn to laugh.
 'sWho can tell? I baff1e myself But to-day it was worse than usual. Shall I get out your portrait? You are wearing the lilac gown"
 Wearily, it seemed to her, he re. placed the light and airy canvas with one larger and more pretentious. And scene she, Hortense Grace, looked proudly. He had done great deal to it, and, as she looked at it, her face softened.
 ''You are doing your best there. Why put it aside for the other scenes? You cannot finish so much"
 My mood, perhaps" he replied, shortly, "a thing wholly beyond my making. There are times when mem ory calls me-and I often obey"
 She threw herself into a chair, an old carved chair with high back, against which her fair hair stood out we'll.
 Moods again, Eustace? What will become of you if you allow these moods to come between you and your fame? For you must have fame. You bnow our agreement. Name for fame,

She smiled like a triumphant god. dess. The lace fell away from her throat and showed it's beauty. She never stirred him before.
 "Yes, go, Eustace; tonight" , He reddened.
 Il never have any money, Hortense You know l cannot keep it-and my expenses are so great"
 She laughed a little mockingly.
 II am sure you cannot ask me to be purse-bearer for that. Oh, no, have a due respect for myself. But go, Eustace. Break the silken snare and go-in your real poverty and hardship. See the woman of your dreams-now- and you will return and tell me about it.'
 A last flash of his manhness arose.
 1'I might not. Take care. I might not"
 She was at the door. But you will, Eustace. You will Go and see her-after these years and see life as it is. You will return, return to wealth, to ease, to care, tc me. You will return-for I know you and the stuff of which your dreams are bred.''
 He leaned over the window rail and saw her enter her carriage far below
 Il will have to walk if I get there he said; walk all night. But I'll go- though know that Fate returns me here and to Hortense in the end.''

A poub1e Railway Accident.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 27.-Unable to see the fiagman's signal on account of fog, the engineer of the southbound Chicago express on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton road was unable to stop the train at Hartwell until it had struck freight crossing the track and demolished three freight cars. Four passengers and two trainmen on the express were injured. They will all recover. The wrecking train on the way to Hartwell met with an accident, killing Patrick Mccoy and fatally in- turing William Ripper and Louis Ten brink. The chain of the crane broke and struck these three men while the train was in motion.

RUSHED BY DE WET.
British Yeomanry Thought to Have
 Lost Heavily.

British Yeomanry Thought to Have
 Lost Heavily.
 LONDON, Dec. 27.-The following dispatch has been received from Lord Kitchener, dated Johannesburg:
 General Rundle reports that on the night of Dec 24 Colonel Firman's camp at Zeefontein, consisting of three companies of yeomanry and two guns, was successfully rushed by a strong commando under De Wet. 1t is feared the casualties were heavy. Two regiments of light horse are pursuing the Boers."
 Boer resistance has always been very strong in that part Of the Orange River Colony which was the scene of General De Vets Christmas coup. A great quadrangle of blockhouses is being built there, the four points of which are Vereeniging, Volksrust, Harrismith and Kroonstadt. At the southeast cor ner of this quadrangle is a long, open space from Bethlehem to Lindley where the square of blockhouses is still incomplete. and here De Wet made his attack.
 Colonel Firman's force probably amounted to 400 men, and the disaster, especially the loss of the guns, the pos session of which may enable De Wet successfully to attack the blockhouseS, creates disturbing impression.

 found you starving; have more than befriended you. l have saved you. To avoid scandal, I told my friends, al- ways with your consent, that we are betrothed. You are received and treated as such everywhere
 He compressed his lips.
 You are herein ease and luxury. You never have care; yet you indulge in dreams-dreams of the past"
 He was silent.
 You have painted my portrait-and several others. You have several land- scapes. Nothing will be finished for the academy unless you work hard and be done with dreams. You will be 8 famous artist and we will be mar ried''
 He laughed low in his throat.
 Name and fame. Hortense, you are very beautiful and very kind. I wish you would tell me why you have de- sired me. l was little more than vagabond tramp when you first knew me"
 Her eyes grew large and dark. "You are genius.''
 "Then you love the divine afaatus, not Eustace Morley?"
 "Oh, no, not"
 "The man? I am much honored. You have done all and everything for me-but l cannot part with what you call my dreams, not even for as fair a woman as you are.''
 She looked at him without vestige of passion or resentment.
 And these dreams include another woman?"
 "A girl-the girl Iloved-in the long ago."
 ''Is she still girl?"
 He started-vexed.
 "No-hardly. I am not a child my- self-but that makes little difference. She is still the same"
 "Ah-then you know?"
 He colored under his delicate pallor, ''I met an old friend-quite by acci- dent. He told me that she had never married.'
 She measured him with look.
 Turn the canvas around, Eustace." He turned it, perplexed at her calm. ness. She looked at it keenly. Then she said, very gently:
 You must go to see her, Eustace; and at once.''
 He flashed her look of joy.
 "Yes-gol I am not at all afraid You must go, Eustace, and then come back and finish your pjctures.s

WfreIess Photography For the Navy.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The navy department has taken the initial steps toward the adoption of wireless teleg- Faphy as q means of signaling between warships at sea. To this end Admiral Bradford of the bureau of equipment has asked that the armored vessels of the Pennsylvania class have their masts and rigging so arranged that the wireless system can be introduced. This will necessitate the lengthening of the masts of the ships and the in- sulation of the metal rigging by the use of hemp covering for halyards. It is intended to get test sets of instru- ments of the various wireless systems now being operated These include the Marconf system. Thus far, however, the navy department has not adopted definitely any system, but the con struction of the new ships is regarded as a preliminary to the adoption of a system whenever it's practicability is established fully.

GOVERNOR ROGERS DEAD.
Head of State of Washington Yields fo LouR Illness

Head of State of Washington Yields
 to Long Illness.
 OLYMPIA, Wash, Dec. 27.-Govern- pr Rogers died at o'clock last night.
 Governor Rogers was taken sick last Friday evening with a cold which de veloped into pneumonia. On Sunday his condition was such as to alarm his friends. but on Monday afternoon the governor was much better, and it was thought all danger had been passed. A consultation of physicians was held, and it developed that the patient was progressing as we'll as could be expect ed. It was announced on Tuesday that the governor was suffering from lobar pneumonia. The disease was then To- cated in the middle lobe of the right lung. It was impossible to say until Wednesday w&s passed whether the disease would spread. Favorable symp. toms continued, but early yesterday the governor was suddenly taken worse.
 John R. Rogers was born Sept. 4. good educational facilities, but left home at an early age to learn the drug business in Boston. He went to the state of Mississippi in yS56 where some years were passed as druggist. Dur ing the late war he lived in southern Illinois. where he taught school, finally buying a farm and becoming a farmer. As all his relatives were Democrats and southern sympathizerG, he quite naturally held the same views. In 1870 he returned to his native town and the drug business. In 1876 he went to Kan sas. again becoming a farmer. He was elected to a number of minor offices as a Greenback Republican. In 1zsS7 he established the Kansas Comnloner, and was its editor for three years. In 1890 he went to PuyalIup. Wash, where he has since resided and has been engaged in the real estate and merchandise business. He was elected governor in 1896 and was serving his second term.
