1t may be safely assumed that Rhine.
lander, after that stormy interview
with the countess, did not feel much
like sleep.
Long he tramped up and down the
rooms, for Karl had not yet arrived
At length he retired, and when Karl
came In he seemed to be sleeping; yet
through the remaining watches Of the
night, the American lay there and ar.
ranged plans, just as when a child he
had built houses out of cards. to knock
them down the next capriclous mo.
ment.
Another day dawned.
Paul remembered his promise to his
sister.
1t must be kept, painful though the
interview might be, Beatrix should
know that at least she had father
with an unsullied name, and that there
was a brother ready to love and pro.
tect her, in whose arms she could
weep.
Accordingly he hastened to the ad.
dress he had received on the previous
night
He had already noticed as a queer
coincidence that 1t was in the same
strasse as the house where Hlldegarde
resided. This did not appear to be the
only resemblance, since the building
itself had familiar look
Passing upstairs and asking to see
the young lady, he handed his card to
the attendant
Through the doorway came a vision
in white, and Paul's nerveless arms
fell fiat to his sides.

A reader Of The Commoner asks
for the publication OF the Bacon reso-

Senator Bacon os~Seorgla offered this
resolution as an amendment to the
McEnery resolution;
Resolved, further, That the United
States hereby disclalm any disposition

sovereignty, jurisdiction, or control
over said islands, and assert their de-
termination, when a stable and inde-

erected therein, entitled in the judg-
ment of the government Of the United
States to recognition as such, to trans
fer to said government upon terms
which shall be reasonable and just all
rights secured under the cession by
Spain, and to thereupon leave the gov
ernment and control Of the islands to
their people"
The vote on the resolution stood

How tho Present Magnificent Timepleces
Originated.
The word clock, derived from the
French gloche, German glocke, signi.
fles bell, and up to the fourteenth cen.
tury 1t was only used to designate a
bell which was struck at certain pc.
riods of time indicated by the hour.
glass.
Sundials or "gnomons" were the first
instruments used in measuring time,
and there Is but little doubt that the
long granite pillars which we call obe.
llsks were used by the Egyptians II
not as actual sundial hands, at least
for some astronomical observations Of
the movement Of the sun.
Clepsydras or water clocks and sand
clocks came next in order. The flow
of sand through small orihce is an
accurate method of measuring time
for the exit of the sand Is always reg.
ular; but water is influenced by the
laws of hydrostatics; when the vase Is
full the water runs out faster than
when 1t Is nearly empty.
Candle clocks, or tapers on which
were colored bands indicating how
much was consumed in a certain time,
were also used, and their invention is
attributed to Alfred the Great; but
this method Is even more susceptible
of error than the previous ones.
In most large cities public record
of the fight of time seems to have
been kept by some method Or other.
In 1886 st. Paul's In London paid q
salary to an orologiaro, who kept a
record Of time; and in 1871 we find
one employed at Westminster palace
to attend to the clock. The first por.
table clocks are attributed to a Ger.
man named De Souable, and are sup
posed to have been made in 1900; but
1t is not till 1880 that we find mention
of a clock made SO that "he might
carry it with him to every place whith.
er he might go"-Jewelers' Review

CHAPTER Y.
A Stormy Interview,


Paul knew he was in for siege as
soon as his eyes fell upon his visitor,
and 1t required all the fortltude Of
which he was possessed to brace him
self for the encounter.
He took her hand in perfunctory
way, and would have Immediately re.
leased 1t only she refused to let him
so so easily.
"Ahl you men forget so easily. 1t
is the poor, weak loving women who
have to suffer-" she said, with such
exquisite pain in her voice that Paul
might we'll have been inclined to pity,
only that he knew her so well.
Countess" he said steadily with a
stern face, that betrayed his design
"your remembrance of me Is very
kind, but surely the present time and
conditions are hardly suitable for a
lady's visit, Had you informed me
of your presence here, should have
been pleased to have paid my respects
to you at your hotel"
"Ah! that was what did not wish.
am not stopping at hotel, and they
do not know me here as the Countess
Aimee. Besides-it was my desire to
surprise you"
"You certainly accomplished that"
"I thought, | believed you would
be overjoyed to see me. and l had
looked forward with such eagerness
to this meeting. Since you left Paris
have had the blues and have grown
actually thin"
She said this so boldly that It had no
effect for he knew it was false. If
anything, she was more plump than
ever, and, as to her moplng, he had no
doubt she had been through constant
round Of gayety. breaking new hearts
every week, and accepting generous
presents from her ardent admirers.
"That is too bad, countess, but you
should not allow cares of state to wor.
ry you So" he said.
"Ah! you are blind; you will not
see. You want me to tell you openly
1t is the torment of that little god
Love that has harassed me. You have
no pity upon poor woman who,
relgning queen for years, suddenly
finds herself the weakest slave
'T am sorry to hear you say that,
countess Paul remarked, coldly.
Sorry"
The hands fell from the bewitching
face, now pale with sudden anger, and
her sloe-black orbs flashed inciplent
lightning as the realization dawned
upon her that her scheming had, after
all, been In vain.

Lost tho Lord,a NIokeI.

A little boy who goes to Sunday
school every Sunday always receives a
nickel from his father to place in the
collection plate. Last Sunday his
father gave him two niokels, saying,
zone is for tho Lord and the other
is for yourself" As 1t was too early
to start for Sunday school the little
boy sat on the porch steps in the warm
sunshine playing with the two nickels.
After a while he dropped one Of them
and 1t disappeared down a crack.
without a moments hesitation and
still clutchlng the remaining coin in
his clcnched fist, he looked UP at his
father, exclalmlng, "oh, pop! Thero
goes the Lords nickel"

Here we have a president in the
White House who, though a profess

wish to stay where he Is as long as

from noon to Dewey eve-to Schley

There can be no doubt that by the
imposition of an educational qualiflca-
ton very many negroes have become
disqualified from the exercise Of the
elective franchise, In that respect,
however, the south does not stand
alone. Various eastern and some west
ern states impose similar disqualified
tions, and the only difference between
them and the south is to be found in
the fact that the number Of disquali-
ned Is far less. That, however, does
not alter the case. The states possess

Beatrlx who hoated in through the
doorway, but Hlldegarde herself.
And, like n flash, II came upon poor
Paul that, In some clumsy manner, he
had succeeded In mixing the numbers,
and thus made mess Of It.,
However since the damage had al.
ready been done, he must abide by tho
consequences.
Illldegarde was evidently struggling
under variety OF emotions; but she
had been taught how to keep her feel
ings under fair control, and, besides,
the German madens are 80 very mod
est they never wear their hearts upon
their sleeves for davis to peck at.
As Paul had ere now fully deter
mined that this sweet girl was lost to
him. that circumstances had lifted her
far beyond his reach, allowing him
only the chance OF worshipplng at n
great distance, as the Aztec might tho
glowing sun, what did II matter, any
way?
"of course, you are surprised to sec
me here, and assure you | am in
cllned that way myself, but, since |
have stumbled into your presence, |
must say something that is on my
mind, VIII you condescend to listen,
Fraulien Hildegarde?"
She inclined her head, as though un'
willing to trust her voice as yet,
Now he was ready to mako the
plunge,
ut Is my duty to warn you against
some one you saw last night at the
garden; a woman, who has taken an
intense dislike toward you, founded on
senseless fabric, but who wishes you

"A woman, you say-and last
nlght?"
Hildegarde put this question hastily,
while her manner betrayed more or
less excitement.
She did not forget, she could not
forget, that she had seen Paul bending
over a sweet girl, holding her two
hands in his own, and beaming upon
her with what appeared to be the most
devoted attention.
No wonder her curiosity was aroused
and she hung upon his words with ca
gerness.
This woman has conceived sud.
den dislike toward you. She has no
scruples about working you injury,
and has arranged miserable plan
whereby you may seem to be impli.
Gated with her in treachery toward the
Kaiser"
The girls face grew white. To a
patriotic daughter Of the Rhine, there
could be no greater evil befall one
than to be accused of such crime.
Impossible! Who would believe
such thing?" she murmured.
"In these troublous times men are
ready to believe the strangest stories.

She was no ordinary woman, this
Pallsan countess, He remembered
that he had heard II said she was
born diplomat and that Louis Ma

ate foreign mission to her than to most
of his representatives,
Why, then, was she in Germany

really been bad enough before, but now
they were rendered doubly serious
When Hildegardo and her compan-

lie held his breath when he saw
her brush up against tho German
beauty, throw back her veil moment
and speak rapidly to her. at the same
time pressing a note into the hand OF
the fairly surprised Ilildogarde'
Paul noticed that the countess
dropped her veil again the moment
she left Hlldegardes side,
What was the reason Of this scrup-
ulous care?
Did she wish to avoid recognition
by Paul? He had never cared for her,
though dazzled for u time by her beau
ty and the sclntillating brilliancy or
her intellect Now he positively hated
the dashlng charmer, and could even
see evil befall her with grim compla-
cency.
Hence 1t was with renewed interest
and not little satisfaction that he
discovered a certain fact.
The countess had a shadow, In her
turn, she was being watched and
something about the appearance of the
man who kept her under constant sur
veillance gave him the impression that
he belonged to the secret police OF
Berlin.
Then her mission to Baden was no
such dead secret as she might sup
pose, and II she gave her enemies good
and sufficient cause for an arrest the
beautiful Frenchwoman who dared to
take such risks in order to gain the
royal favor Of Napoleon might see the
inside of German bastile sooner than
she dreamed, even In her most san
gulne moments,
Paul had much to consider while
walking to his lodgings, Being pos
sessed Of means, Paul had very lux
urious establishment, which Karl
shared with him Of late,
The old woman who took care OF
the several fats usually waited up,
though Paul could always enter with
his key, and this he did on the present
occasion.
To his surprise, the lights were
turned up. Karl must have reached
home ahead OF him,
With n smile on his lips he alb
ruptly entered the slttlng-room to
see the figure of woman rise from a
chair by the table where she had been
reading and to feel cold hand laid
upon his heart as he recognized in his

Mr.. Eddys proposition that no con-
gresham earns $4,000 year casts lit
tie credit upon legislative work. If The
men sent to formulate the laws do not
earn this rate of salary there should
be revision Of the rolls, TO the plea
that life in Washington Is expensive a
simple answer Is that the people do
not send representatives there to live
in luxury. The move for higher con-
gressonal salaries is opposed to a
simplicity in American life in a place
where there should be the most sim
pllcity.
