the advertisement might be accompa-
MED by the portrait of the lady who
replied.
A collateral result of this notice was
that two or three of the best photo
graphic artists of the city had more
work on their hands than they
could attend to. The direct
result was sixty-five letters,
with as many fair maidenly coun-
tenances as would fill a good-sized al
bum. The answers were in some cases
accompanied by parental certificate,
setting forth in touching language the
charms and virtues of the daughters.
The young man replied to each of
his correspondents that, before coming
to a final decision, personal view
would be Of advantage. To each of the
ladies, without the knowledge of the
others, he sent ticket for an orches-
ira stall in the Scala Theater, an
nouncing that he himself would be in
particular box, the number and sit
uation of which he stated.
A few evenings later the play-going
public of Milan were perplexed to. ex:-
plain the appearance of one Of the
rows of stalls in that immense build
ing. "A long line of beauties in toll
cites Of extreme elegance, unbroken by
a single black coat, was observed.
Furtively, and with trepidation, did
each damsel from time to time raise
her opera glass to that box-the cyno-
sure of many bright eyes-in which
the graceful youth reposed.
Suspiciously, and with darkened
brow, gid each damsel turn to the long
file Of her neighbors, and wonder at
the magnetism which drew each glass
to the one central spot. By and by the
audience, to whom some hint of the
secret had leaked out, began to give
audible signs that they enjoyed the
joke. The sporadic laughter Of the
theater increased the confusion Of the
young ladies, and the contagion of fun
turned the sporadic mirth into a gen.
eral roar.
At this point our informant drops
a veil over the scene.

had1a strange kind Of foreboding about
her. 100.
Il wonder" she said to Sir Raoul,
IF some people do bring misfortune
with them. I have an idea that Lady
Hamilton will bring evil to me-"
Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in
his simple chivalrous fashion that
beautiful woman could bring only sun
shine and happiness; but the young
countess sighed.
Helen of Troy did not bring much
sunshine" she said, land she was
beautiful enough"
But" objected Sir Raoul, there is
difference; Lady Hamilton has not
her fatal loneliness. Times have al
tered; no woman s face, think, will
ever cause another thirty years. war"
The young countess resolved upon
being armed at all points. Her maid
felt that at. length her mistress was
doing justice to herself She was that
evening very difficult to please-no
dress was pretty enough; she chose one
at length of purple velvet, long, grace
full, and made after picturesque fash
ion that Hildred particularly affected
cut square so as to show the beautiful
neck and shoulders, with, wide hang,

knot on the shouldef-a dress that was
the triumph of good taste; no ribbon.
no flowers, no ornaments nor trim
mings marred it's grand simplicity. She
wore nothing but diamonds with it
small tiara that crowned the queenly
head, necklace round the white
throat, small cross on the white
breast, and a bracelet on one of her
beautifully nodded arms. Nothing
could have been more magnificent, in
better or simpler taste.
Sir Raoul looked delighted when he
saw her. Lady Hamilton may be very
fair" he thought, "but she will not
look like Hildred''
The earl did not notice either her
face or her >-ress; he admired her skill,
her genius, but he was certainly not in
love with his young wife.
It was with some little curiosity that
the young countess went to meet her
guest. Lady Hamilton had been shown
into pretty little boudoir, where she
awaited her hostess; and these two
women VINO were so strangely to cross
each others lives looked almost eager
ly at each other:
Lady Caraven saw before her tall,
graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunny
eyes and golden hair were bright and
beautiful, whose red lips smiling show.
ed teeth like pearls. After returning
in the most musical of voices the greet
ings Of her hostess, she requested that
she might be shown to her room.
She was in some measure just what
Lady Caraven had expected to see. She
appeared in the drawing-room two
minutes before the announcement of
dinner was made, and then Hildred ex-
amined her more critically. Her en-
trance made q sensation amongst the
gentlemen. Hildred stood watching
the scene, watching the pretty, maneu
vers of the royalty. beautiful coquette,
and how soon they took effect.
Hildred sighed as she turned away.
This was the kind of beauty that her
husband loved-blonde, tall and grace.

this so tiresome before, or what gives
me so much pleasure to do it now"
No one was more gratified than Sir
Raoul. He exulted in the fact That his
predictions were fulfilled.
Il always thought a good woman's
influence bound1ess,' he said; land
now I am sure of it,
But he was not misled; he saw ex-
actly how things were-that the earl
had started with the conviction that
his wife was an uniformed schoolgirl,
and that, though believing her now to
be very clever woman, he still re-
tanned much of his early impression.
Lord Caraven had accepted the fact
that he did not love her with lovers
love, and that their marriage was
fatal mistake into which his own folly
had led him-and he had not changed
his opinion; he absolutely never
thought of love with reference to her.
They were good friends, with one COM
mon interest-that was all.
But with Hildred it was not quite
the same thing. She had once loved
him; and now, as his better nature ap-
peared, she began to care for him
again. Not that she ever betrayed
such feeling to him. She was kind,
affectionate, patient; she devoted her.
self to his service; but no word in
dicating warmer feeling than friend
ship ever escaped her lips She did not
even own to herself or know that she
was beginning to love him.
One day, after luncheon, when some
visitors were staying with them, the
conversation turned on certain Lady
Hamilton, who had just returned,
widow, from India.
Lady Hamilton was one of your
early loves, Uric, was she not?" said
Sir Raoul, laughingly.
II suppose so,' replied the earl,
carelessly. Il had great many early
loves, if one may believe all the stories
told. Do you know what my opinion
is?''
NO." answered Sir Raoul, II do
not"
Il do not believe that I have ever
loved at all-that is, using the word
love in it's best and highest sense"
Then it is for want of appreciation,
said Sir Raoul, CURLY.
Neither Of them knew that Hildred
had overheard the few chance words,
bit they bad pierced her heart as with
i 4o:a-zAs.-'
~ ~ ~-oeu sword.
A kind of jealousy that she could not
understand took possession Of her. If,
on looking at pictures or photographs,
Lord Caraven praised one or thought
is pretty, she would examine it in de-
tail to find out if possible what he adj
mired in it. If, in speaking of any
lady friend or visitor, the earl express
ed his admiration of her, vague I'M
rest would come over his wife; she
would try to understand what attract
ed him. He had frank, careless, easy
way of expressing himself Often,
when she heard him, her face would
suddenly grow pale even to her lips.
If he loved at all, he must love her.
Lord Caraven discerned nothing of
this, but Sir Raoul was more deeply
versed in human nature, and he saw
that the young countess was beginning
to love her husband with passionate
love. He did not know whether to be
pleased or sorry-whether her love
= would ever be returned. Yet he cos3ad
not feel surprised. %.s IL j. f .55=.

Delaware, o., Oct. 2.--The grand jury
yesterday, having the Nora Ferris SEN
sational death case in charge, made a
thorough review of the affair and ig-
nored the charges, releasing all ac-
cused in the affair.
Wednesday morning Columbus pa

from the Girls Industrial home last
Thursday. The article stated that the
girls jaw had been dislocated three
times and that her body was spotted
with bed sores. Capt. Stiles, superin-

and in an Indignant and emphatic
voice entered firm denial of all the
charges of filth, cruelty or neglect to
the girl. DR.. w. b. Hedges, the states
physician for the home, was interview

dislocation of her jaw; that DR.. Hunt,

Cleveland, O., Oct 2-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Plain Dealer
sends the following:
Men who have been taken into the
confidence of the administration sup
porters in connection with the confer
ences that have been in progress at the
White House for the last few days pre-
dict that the coal strike will be settled
by Saturday or at least early in the
week, on terms already agreed upon,
and that the credit for the settlement
will go to President Roosevelt.
There is ample, almost official author
ity for the assertion that the settlement
will be the result of political and
financial deal In which the Republican
administration is to be the beneficiary
of the first part and the Wall st. bank
ers the parties of the second part.
The deal, In brief Is that J. Pierpont
Morgan Is to settle the strike in
manner which will give President
Roosevelt the credit for 1t, while on
the other hand something like $S0,000,-
GOO of government funds will be re-
leased from the treasury to tide over
threatened panic on Wall ST., with the
Morgan stocks as the object Of the
raid
About two weeks ago Mr. Shaw. Sec
retary of the treasury, announced n
policy entirely antagonistic to the de-
mands of Wall st. He officially de-
clared that he would not increase the
amount of government deposits in the
national banks, and that under no con-
sideration would he accept other than
government bonds as security for any
deposits that might be made. He sup
plemented these assertions with figures
showing that there was no demand
for money, except on Wall st. He
showed that the banks of the west and
south were burdened with surplus
funds and that the only people who
wanted more money were the Wall st.
spectators, who had already increased
their call lonns more than 100000, 900
|
and were violating the rules of con-
servative banking.
Wall st, promptly started the story
that the President did not approve of
Mr.. Shaw's policy and that the resig-
nation of the Secretary of the Treas.
ury was imminent. This rumor was
denied by the President. a

Chicago, Oct. PA Washington spe-
cial to the Record Herald, CRepubli-
cam snys this morning:
secretary Shaw's latest method OF
affording relief to the New York mon-
ey market caused a great surprise in
this city. He has broken all precc-
dents, and in the opinion of some well
Informed government officials, he has
openly violated the law. 1t is known
that he determined upon Mt least one
OF his steps despite an adverse opinion
as to Its legality given him by the
solicitor of the treasury. There is
\ general agreement among all classes
Of officials that Secretary Shaw has
done an exceedingly bold thing. Some
think 1t revolutionary.
There is great anxiety among Re
publicans lest the country Mt large
fail to take kindly to the Secretary's
startling Innovations.
Already the Democrats are begin
ming to offer the criticism that Secre-
tnry Shaw has transformed the Treas
ury department into "Wall Street
pawnshop."
The friends of Secretary Shaw say
lie has the approval of President
Roosevelt for everything he has done
and as for the law points involved he
is acting upon the advice of Attorney
General Knox.
