CHAPTER XVI.

The chief of the great ancestral homes
of England, Saxonhurst, stands unrival-
ed for its magniicence and picturesque
beauty. This September it presented a
picture not often seen. The climatis was
all in flower; the gardens were a mass
of gorgeous blossom. In compliance with
the wish of the beautiful young duchess,
there was no rejoicing over the coming
home. She had wished it to be So and
the duke had written to his agent, Mr..
Stretton, saying that he wished the time
of his return kept secret, and that the
festivities given in honor of his marriage
would take place soon after his return.
When Irene reached the luxurious suite
of rooms prepared for her, she sank on
one OF The touches quite overcome. In
this magnificent room, her maid awaited
her, and she was at length at home. 1t
would be long to tell how, slowly and by
degrees, she became accustomed to the
splendor of her surroundings; grand as
they were, they seemed only fitted for
he,. Santon Darcy had not come home
with his daughter. He preferred return
ing to Rome, to finish the work on which
he was engaged,
After a few days the whole country
rang with the fame of the young duchess;
her wit, her glorious beauty, her won
drous grace, the silyery sweetness of her
voice, the music of her laugh-all these
made her the subject of conversation. Ey-
cry one fastened to call upon her, and
everyone came away charmed, delighted
with her.
The favorite room of the young duchess
was her boudoir; gem of room, where
art had exhausted itself; room that
had been built with an especial eye to
light and sunshine. There, one bright
September morning, sat the duchess
alone. On her knees rested a book. She
was not reading; the book had fallen
from her hands, and she was playing
idly with the jeweled rings on her fin
gers.
The door opens and the duke enters the
room. He stood in silence for one minute
while he admired the beautiful picture;
then he went to his wife, and bending
over ner. with all the grace of an ac-
complished courtier, he kissed her white
jeweled hands.

Lieut.. Gen. Miles, testifying before tho
Senate committee on military affairs the

be forced to resign his position and re-

the statement that certain persons in the
army are already assured of high posi-

testimony of Gen. Miles was given pri-

Lieut. Gen. Miles opposed this bill He
pointed out that, under the section of
which Gen. Miles complained, the lieu
tenant general would have greatly en-
larged powers in army management, in
stead of being restricted in his func-
tons, as he supposed.
Gen. Miles testimony created a good
impression on the committee and his
earnestness had evidently considerable
influence. 1t is possible the statement
made by Gen. Miles that he could name
the officers who are likely to be select
ed for the new places under the bill will
arouse the re of Mr. Roosevelt The
statement was made without the knowl-
edge that it would be repeated. but it be-
came known to Secretary Root and the
President and led to a good deal of com
ment III the War Department.
Gen. Miles, in opposing the idea of a
general staff, controlled by civilians,
claimed part of the credit for the victory
of the American army at Santiago, de-
claring he ordered Shafter to move from
Tampa to Santiago. and it was because
of his orders that Skaters army arrived
so soon. He told the incident to show
that, had he been compelled to wait for
staff meeting Shafter would have been
delayed in leaving Tampa.
Lieut.. Gen. Miles had been summoned
expressly to give his opinion upon the
Root bill, which provides for the eonsol-
idation of the quartermaster generals
and commissary generals departments
into one supply bureau, and which also
creates a general staff. Gen. Miles sub
mitted to the committee a typewriter
statement in which he declared that the
Root bill was subversiye of the military
establishment, and he had no hesitation
in declaring that the measure would
render it impossible for him to continue
to hold the office of lieutenant general III
command with due respect to the dignity
of his position. Gen. Miles read his type
written statement to the committee,
which accepted it as an official criticism.
The stenographer present was directed
by Senator Quarles to omit a. good deal
Of the testimony which followed the
reading Of the statement. This was be-
cause Gen. Miles wished to ,tave the
statements he made regarded>as conf
Dental. He did not hesitate to describe
the bin as one calculated to increase the
confusion of the military administration,
and at one time he stated that the eff
feet of the bill would be TO enable the
authorities to reward their favorites. He
made the assertion that he could name
the officers who were likely to be APP
pointed by the President to the new
Office of major general and that Of briga-
der general among the places created by
the pending measure.
Gen. Miles was g. years old last Az

tire him now arbitrarily under the law,
and, a Washington correspondent says,
it is strongly intimated that this viii

unpleasant for Gen. Miles. A sugges-
ton has already been made to the Presi-
dent that he should retire the lieutenant
general under the law and rebuke him
severely for his action in the Schley case,
for the publicity givet TO his plan TO re-
lieve the situation in the Philippines, aud

How the Empress Eugenie Was At

An American woman, a noted reader
and elocutionist, relates touching in
eident in which she had a part during
her stay in England. The present
queen, then Princess of Wales, gave a
luncheon on board the royal yacht. The
elocutionist received an invitation, and
accepted. Among the royal personages
present was the sad-eyed, beautiful
Eugene, the dethroned Empress of the

MiracuIous Results of Subsidy.

1t is hard to take Mr. Frye seriously
in his recent report upon the ship sub
sidy BILL He gravely tells us that by
PAYING paltry S4,7OO,0O0 per annum
TO a few steamship companies we can
establish postal lines superior to any
now in existence, except on the North
Atlantic, and in a few years We viii
be able 20 beat the English and Ger
mans, even in the transatlantic SER
vice. According to the estimates of
the Senate Committee on Commerce
made by Commissioner of Navigation
Chamberlain, the cost of building a
ship here is at least 80 per cent greater
than in England, and the cost of run
mig under the American flag is about
40 per cent greater than the cost under
British registry They tell us that
Great Britain pays So. 536, 900 a year in
subsidies to her merchant marine.
Mr.. Frye proves to his own satisfac-
ton. at least, that the effects of these
subsidies, together with all the great
natural advantages enjoyed by En-
gland over us, can be triumphantly
overcome by the payment to cur great
steamship companies of a sum $4,000
less than that expended by Great
Britain for the same purpose. Such
stupendous effect from so mad % iate
cause is impossible unless b. the
miraculous Intervention of some super
human agency. The piously disposed
may credit this happy result Gf it ever
comes about to Divine Providence,
But the true protectionist needs not to
seek so far for an explanation of his
economic miracle. 1t is all due to the
inherent beneficence of the protective
policy. Has not the Dingley tariff still
ed the troubled financial waters and
raised up prosperity from the ruin of
SO In the fact of such convincing evil
dence who will dare to assert that
subsidy of our shipping will not revive
our dropping merchant marine?
Nevertheless a few disconnected free
traders still talk of our great natural
resources and attempt to belittle the
beneficent effects of protection. But
the enlightened protectionist can prove
statistically that Providence has play
ed a very subordinate part in our in
dustrial development compared to Nc

where he had married Beatrice, or in
England, where Lord Waldo's discon-
tented face would make him wretched.
The wedding took place with all the
pomp and splendor imaginable. The only
request that Irene made was that it
should not be put in the papers, and for
this request she had her own motives,
and the principal one was that Sir Hull
bert Esmere should not hear of her mar
riage. He would know that the Duke of
Bayard was married; the marriage Of
such a mighty person must be known to
all the world but no one need know
whom he had married. The fact that he
was married in Paris would naturally
lead TO the conclusion that he had rlar-
ried French lady. So. all that the Eng
lish papers had to say about the marriage
was this-that the Duke OF Bayard AMI
his beautiful young duchess were spend
ing their honeymoon in Paris, and that
the marriage ceremony had been solemn
lied at the British embassy with the
greatest privacy.
Lord Waldo's anger was great, al
though he was courteous enough not to
show it. Tie duke wrote himself, tell
ing him Of the event a few days before
it happened; but the anger Of Lord Hurst
himself was as nothing compared with
the indignation of his wife. Lady Waldo
Hurst was a heartless, brilliant woman
of fashion. who had married Lord Hurst
entirely for the reason that she should
ultimately become Duchess of Bayard
She had never made any secret of it, and
now her indignation was great. But,
acting upon the advice of her husband,
she decided to conceal her indignation
and disappointment from the duke.
Take my advice. Ada said Lord Wal
do; instead Of making the young duchess
your enemy, refusing to meet her, or any
nonsense of that kind, make her your
friend, and then, should there be any pos
sibility of learning anything about her,
you will probably find it OUT" and L&dy
Hurst saw ar once how sensible that ad-
vice was.
