The democratic legislature of
Maryland has disfranchised
about IS, 900 voters with the hope
of carrying that state in the next
presidential election. The beau
ty of it all is that this has been
done without "the consent of the

Jenning Bryan has not raised an
objection in behalf of the disfran-
chised voters. Consistency thou

Among the papers of the late
Grant Allen was found an article
on 1.-The British Aristocracy. !"
1t is probable that he did not
care to place himself before the
English reading public in the
position of entire frankness
which he had assumed while
writing this article, and that
consequently it was held until
after his death for publication.
1t was secured through his son
for The Cos mopolitan and APP

Certainly no Englishman has
ever so handled the subject with
out gloves as Grant Allen. and no
one was better equipped to do

HE fell there after he saw me-"
ness of the river bed The old man
had not spoken Of this. Doubtless he
knew Of fording place. and had ex-
pected himself to lead the way across,
There was no time to look for ford
now, and without hesitation the young
man flung himself into the Icy water
He was a strong swimmer, but when
he drew himself laboriously up the
opposite bank he was breathing heay-
lily. Another ten feet OF the whirling
icy current he felt would have been
more than he could have overcome.
For moment he lay painting and
trembling; then rose stiffiy to his feet
In his wet garments he would soon
freeze unless he kept moving.
Far up the slope he could see the
scrub oaks, and among them was
doubtless the cabin. 1t was still miles
away. and would require hard climbing
to reach it. But the very exertion OF
such climb would be the best means
Of keeping him from freezing. Up, up
he climbed and crawled, all the time
more slowly and painfully, his gar
ments soon freezing stiff as boards and
his fingers becoming red and blood
stained. But at last he reached the
scrub, and soon after saw the cabin
in which was the life he was to save.
1t was late the next day when the
old man followed him up the slope,
even more slowly and painfully. II
required several hours to hobble to the
scrub, and several more to reach the
| cabin. When he pushed open the door
with an improvised crutch, he saw a
| girl lying on couch, her face pale
and frightened, but her eyes clear and
bright. For the first time tears began
to fall from the old mans eyes, for the
brightness of the girls face told him
that she was saved. Upon the fiooi
lay the young man breathing heavily.
He fell there after he saved me,
