TO MARRY OR NOT.
q Really and Truly Modern Novel Which Is of the sublinely Sell-
 ful Sort.
She stood on the threshold.

Godfrey DOdenreid was sitting, or rather crouching. before fire whose jets illumined his tall, bent figure. A covert coat was thrown across his shoulders; he held it together about something imposing in his attitude and his solitariness, says the Washing ton Star. The room was dark except for the fitful flicker of the fire, and for a radiant moon which hung in the win dow pane, flooding the apartment from floor to ceiling. It drew strange trac- cries of cold light and weird shadow upon the floor and the yellow damask furniture.
 At the sound of her footstep he turned; he looked dazed moment. She noticed that he was deathly pale. He sprang to his feet, jerking the coa [ from his shoulders. It fell to the floor.
 She hesitated and wavered moment on the threshold.
 "Ah," he murmured, "I thought you would come to me, queen of my soul
 "Yes," she said, as if not needing his words, 'I have came"
 You see," he continued, "it was use less for me to continue to struggle. From the first knew that was yours. You see, 1 needs must feel that the worship l give to you has for m hour, at least, made our souls one. 1 some times think you must have seen it all on that first night. l knew that my soul had found its master in tender ness illimitable. An, from the first saw you as you are-angel and god dess. There is no act of se.f-repres- sion, no act of self-immolation man may not commit for you-no fond and foolish thing one has read of, but has scarce believed. You bring enchant- ing, elevatiDg thought; why, you fill with joy the whole horizon of the world. Until I met you 1 did not live T slept. But now I am awake. Yet ] love you, you see, and would like to whisper it in your little ear. But would not dare. All would dare is to fall at your feet so-.ooking up-may- hap you would be kind. l might catch the murmur of your low voice, listen to its music. and see love shape him- self on your sweet lip. You saw it.. did you not, darling, the very first time? You know that never before had caught sight even of loves fiut- tering garment. Why, it must have been SD plain to your deep heart. If you doubted it, it would have been calumny-not to me, but to yourself. your love.iness. You knew from that hour that all else, all else, all others do you hear?-were chaff borne on the winds, froth lashed away to nothing ness on the first breaker of fathom- less sea-"
 Bertha Detracourt Le Moyamensing stood motionless, clasping and un- clasping her hands. In her whiteness she looked like a vision from some other world. Only on her face a strange glow was growing, growing up from her mouth, irradiating her low, broad, moon-touched forehead
 "Jeff," she said, slowly, calling him by the dear diminutive she always gave to him when he fell into one of his talk ing spells, eff you mean business, cheese that lingo and give me plain English; but if you are just doing a language stunt, keep moving-you're hitting it up to beat the band"

THE scHLEY VERDICT READY.
rnd,nus npd Opinion VIII Prob. ably be Submitted to the Sec
 rotary of the Navy To-Day.

Washington. Dec. 10-The Schley court of inquiry will probably submit it's findings and opinion to the secre- tary of the navy tomorrow. It IS un- derstood that at q meeting to-day the secretary approved the written draft of its conclusions on all except one point of the precept which had not been definitely determined. Addition al information relating to this point was regarded as necessary. This was secured. and it is believed that the court not only disposed of the matter, but drafted it's conclusions on the subject into the report before ad- iournment. From all accounts. the courts findings and conclusions were put into writing by Rear-Admiral Ramsay. junior member. The great est care has been taken to prevent the substance. or any information whatever about the report to leako It is even said that the members of the court agreed not to discuss the ease with members of their own fam flies From the little that has leaked out about the methods of court pro- cedure, it is the understanding that the report will not be submitted to typewriter operator for copying, but will be laid before the secretary of the navy in the handwriting Of the member deputed to draft it.

II RIVALS bON|NE CASE.
The Police of Washington have An- other Mysterious Assault
 Case to Deal With.
\ FASHIONABLE MODISTE THE VICTIM.
Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis Found Tn u" Almost Dying Condition ms the Result of Fiendish Assault bS mn unknown Person While Tn Her Bed.

Washington, Dec. 11.-MrS. Ada Gilbert Dennis, fashionable dress maker. was found in an almost dying condition in her room at , a. m., un- der circumstances that promise to rival the Bonine murder case. Her skull was fractured. jawbone broken and left ear almost severed from the head Her left arm bore bruises indi- catiye of a struggle and her clothing and bedding were saturated with blood. She was removed to the Gar field hospital and large force of de- tectives put on the ease. The name of her assailant is unknown.
 The general belief is that Mrs. Den his was attacked while asleep in her back room on the first floor, and that the first blow, in all probability ad- ministered with the piano stool, which was smeared with blood, rem dered her unconscious. The prelim mary investigation by the police fails to indicate that there was any strug- gle. Mrs. Dennis. in conscious mo- ment. while being carried to the hos pital. said that someone had hurt" her. but when pressed for details merely responded: Never mind" 7" Robbery apparently was not the mo- tive for the assault. for on the table at the foot of the bed was small filled with greenbacks and other coin. There was bloody imprint of T hand on the piano lid in the parlor, and a window in that room was open. Ii is supposed the assailant es- capped through this window. When found. Mrs. Dennis was clad in her night garments and was in bed un- der the cover. She was partly con- scious. although she has been uncon- scious most of the time since The detectives are satisfied that several blows of the piano stool must have been wielded with considerable force and that there was no Outcry.at least. audible. Her groans. however. were heard by woman on the third floor and in the adjoining house. About the same time Policeman Livingston and watchman. who were two blocks away, heard what they believed to be woman's screams. Mrs. Dennis IS about 4 years old and is one of the best known women in business here She is the widow of Walter Dennis. ar actor.
 An operation was performed or Mrs. Dennis at the hospital Tuesday afternoon. Very little hope is held out for her recovery.

PROTOCOL WITH NICARAGUA.
Scope of the Arrange Entered Into With the Government of
 Nicaragua at Managua.

Washington Dee. 1.-The arrange ment entered into at Managua. Mon day between United States Minister Merry and the minister of foreign affairs. was in the nature of a proto- col, and was not, strictly speaking. a treaty II k in effect a definition in advance, of the character of a treaty that Nicaragua is willing 10 enter in to with the United States in the event that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is ratified by the United States and Gre.t Britain. There are supposed to be iagal reasons why a treaty. pure and simple. could not he entered into between the United States and Nica- ragua in advance of the consumma- tion of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. A similar arrangement has been. or will be. made with the government of Costa Rica to secure the necessary rights on that part of the San Juan river essential for canal purposes.and possibly subject to Costa Rican soy. ereignty
