THE LAST DREAM.

aNay. give me back my spinning Wheel"
She prayed: "Ah, look my hands are
strong,
ave back tAe spindle and the reel
NV needs to the dead past belong
The old time fancies round me throng
And make me young and blithe once more
with my spinning wheel beside the door.
"For one, upon a time like this
Came up the old, sweet orchard way,
And took our first betrothal kiss;
An hour like this, all warm and gray,
With shadows flung like dreams at play,
And long he would not go, but stayed
For love Of me, his spinning maid.
'He came up through the pinxter blows
He loved the soft, unfolding flowers,
And even now, when Hesperus CLOVIS
Through the faint Swallowed, fragrant
hours,
When things are sweet with drifting
showers,
! hear his step, again 1 feel
The lost thrill of my spinning wheel.
He said he loved this leafy place,
And loved the old wheels drowsy tune;
He had the poets tender grace
Twas like a-something old-a rune,
Some hymn-like thing, like Bonnie Doom,
While up and down, with joyous tread
I walked and drew my long white thread.
"And when hear the one great call
That bids me hence, thisis my prayer
To go when nights first shadows fall
They'll hide my old gray face, and hair,
They'll take me in this homely chair
To where my lost love lies, ard make
Ny grave by his-for old loves sake"
Her heart beat with the happy press
Of old remembered dreams ard sighs,l
Her lips were sweet with tenderness
OF love that never fades or dies.
The love light of the sunset skies
Crept up and kissed her faded eyes,
And as the white head trembled down,
Wove round it the saints shining crown.

a MedIevnI Survival.

The inhabitants of a far-away VIII
lage in Surrey have been enjoying a
quaint medieval survival in the sale
by auction of local meadow. Long
ago, when the world was not so busy
as it is to-day, the landlord of the
''White Brown Meadow" at Bourne
bequeathed the meadow subject to
an auction sale which every now and
again adds to the gayety of this
rural population. At each bid boy
sets out to run to a given point, and
the 'White Brown Meadow" is let to
the bidder whose offer is unchal-
lenged when the last boy returns.
Equally curious is the candle-light
auction at Wharton in Warwickshire,
where the right of grazing upon the
roadside and the common lands is
sold each year to the men who bids
highest before the last flicker of
candle dies away. As the tallow
candle burns away the bidding be-
gins, and the road-surveyor, who acts
as auctioneer. encourages the bidders
with such phrases as Get on, gen
tlemen, please; the lights burning

darkness of the stariit night helped
him. He fancied, and assured him
self hundred times that it was
only fancy, that he could now and
then surprise a vague question in
the cool gray eyes; and with the
eyes in allegiance he felt more at
ease.

summers, aren't you, Mr.. Griswold?"
she asked, when they were comfort
ably established out of doors and
the general talk had subsidized suf-
ficiently to admit of dialogue.
Altogether new; and they are
very delightful, if this is an earnest.
What charming prospect you have
here with the lake for a vista. But
for that matter, Wahaska is an ideal
place"
Her laugh had not in it the tin
lxle of silver bells, like Miss Grier-
sons, but it was as honest as the
gray eyes.
''Ideal?-after New York?'
''After any great city. firmly be-
lieve the time will come when Done

to the summer resort hotel on the
point beyond the GriersOn mansion
which had been opened within the
week.

then he asked if they ever met any

summer; a Mr.. Lucius cambridge"

CHAPTER XIX.
braith.

The robbery of the Bayou bank
was already an old story when De-
tective Griffin returned to New Or
leans from his voyage to Guatemala
He was a successful man in his call
ing, and he took up the case of the
bank robbery at once; not only fol
the reward, but because he was will
ing to try if he could not send the
shaft home after his ST. Louis col
leagues had sped their arrow and
missed the mark.
He did not begin where the ST.
Louis officers had left off. He saw
at once that the real identity of the
rObber had not been established by
the anonymous letter describing one
John Gavitt. He suspected that the
name was a mere mask, and the
proof of this was shortly clinched
by evidence easily procured that the
real John Gavitt had died in the lit
tie Iowa river town which was his
home, a short fortnight after the
date of the robbery.
Hence it followed that Gavitt had
been impersonated in the Belle
jules crew by the escaping culprit,
and with President Galbraiths de-
scription of the man for a starting
point, Griffin first searched the
"Rogues' Gallery" for face which
might stand for the original. This
search, though it was made as care
fully as if he fully expected to find
the mans portrait in the criminal
records, was as barren of results as
he expected it would be.
ut is just about as 1 put it up"
he said, at the end of the photo
graph inspection. "The fellow isn't
a professional at all; he is some
hare-brained crank, and this is his
first break"
This point established, there were
two courses open; to try to trace
the man in New Orleans, and so to
determine his identity; or to take
up the lost clew in st. Louis. Since
it asked for less time, Griffin did the
latter first, and succeeded in besting
the St. Louis officers by one move.
For them the fugitive had disap-
peared, handcuffed, in the runaway
carriage; for Griffin he reappeared a
little later at Mr. Abram Some
schein's emporium. but was lost
again when he left with his pur-
chases.
Griffin went back to New Orleans,
baffied but not discouraged AS be-
fore, the case turned upon the pivot
of identity. When he should have
learned the mans name and place in
the world it would be an easy mat
ter to track him down.
Accordingly he went to the bank
and asked again for the anonymous
letter.
'You have tried every means to
place the writer of this, Mr.. Gal
braith?' he queried.
Everything we could think of. 1t
might be any one of the hundred
transient customers we served that
day."
1T is woman" hazarded Griffin,
at a venture.
Doubtless"
''Was there a woman in the bank
when you went with the fellow to
cash the check?"
There was. She was at the
teller's window"
Did you notice her particularly
'Not well enough to be able to
describe her. had other things to
think of just then"
Sure enough. What was she do
ing?"

Humor of Major venabIe.


Mai. Richard NJ. Venable, of Balti-
more, is one of the leading lawyers
of the south, and one of the most
distinguished lecturers on law in
Maryland. He is a Virginian who
went to Baltimore after the war, and
who has become identified with the
city. In the recent reform move
ment, which won, and which saved
the people great deal of money, he
was elected to one of the most re-
sponsible positions in the municipal
legislature, the presidency of the
council branch which had to do with
the budget. There is probably no
keener wit in the whole country. He
has the dry, solemn manner which &C
centuates his points, and some Of
his puns have become famous. For
instance, after trip to England and
Egypt he was speaking of the things
that impressed him in both cOuns
tries-in one, of fields and flowers;
in the other, the rows of preserved
bodies. .'Indeed,'' he said. very sober
ly, the mummies of Egypt seemed to
be almost as numerous as the pop
pies of England. "-Harper's Weekly,

A 100000 Collateral Trust Bond
Issue Now to Be Made.
Ice Business on the kennebec Is Not
What 1t Once Was.

New York, April 24.-The directors OF

day, deferred action on the common

Their expenditures for that purpose.
TO provide for the meeting OF all
future maturities Of bonds ana mort
cages now amounting to $3,0S4.G00 in
the ggregate. the board has decided to
issue $4,000 600 of per cent. collateral
trust bonds, $3,0S4, goo Of which are to

GERMAN FOOLISHNeSS.
Emperor Criticised for Taking "Ordi
nary" People on Excursion.

Berlin, April 24.-Emperor William
drawing rooms for having business
men without titles constitute the ma
jcrity of his guests during his recent
excursion in the Nort, sea, on the
North German Lloyd steamer Kron-
prime Wilhelm. So significant is the
Emperors graciousness toward these
men regarded by the old aristocracy
that newspapers all over Germany with
aristocracy leanings have. during the
last two days begun a regular editorial
campaign at the new policy introduced
into court life.
While the German nobility have long
noted with apprehension His Majesty's
liking for the company of the men who
are making industrial and commercial
Germany, his public entertainment of
so many business men is accepted as
deliberate recognition of that class
at court.
In this connection the Grand Duke
of Hesse. a brother in-law of Admiral
Prince Henry of Prussia has been
much criticised for sitting at a table
and drinking beer with prominent
Socialist, Deputy Ulrich, of the Hessian
Diet, with whom the duke had long
conversation on public questions.
The dukes apologists cite the fact
that NJ. Millerand, the French minister
of commerce, was decorated by the
Car and that Prince Henry shook
hands with laborers while in the Unite.
States.

FUNSTON EXPLAINS.
Meant to Compliment, Not
CritiCise Senator Hoar.
Had Declined the Middlesex Club In
vitation, Before Ordered To.
Has Nothing to Retract, but Is Willing
to Stop Talking.

Denver. Colo, April PA statement
credited to Gen. Frederick Funstor
with having dictated it, concerning the
order of President Roosevelt directine
him to cease further discussion of tn,
Philippine question and expressing re-
greet at Funston's criticism of a United
States senator, appears in the RepubIi-
can, today. The following language is
used in the statement:
What | said at the banquet Of tbe
Colorado Sons of the American Revolu-
ton, last Saturday night, made dis
tinction between two classes of people
The first, the demag ogues who did not
believe what they We're saying; the
other, the class of people to which the
senior senator from Massachusetts be-
longs, who believe what they We're say
ing, are perfectly sincere, but are suf-
fering from overheated consciences:
that is, they are too sincere
Instead of criticising Senator Hoar.
L intended TO pay him Il compliment on
being so sincere. l intended to keep
off the subject entirely, but Gen. HaIe's
introduction was such that it compelled
me to say something of the Philippine
war.
I'm regard to my leave of absence
in order that | might attend the Mid
diesex Club banquet at Boston. | made
the application one evening, but de-
partment matters came. UP the next
morning that made it impossible for
me 10 leave here. Therefore / tele-
Sraphed, withdrawing my application
made the night before and before the
war department had time to act
upon it.
The banquet of the Middlesex Club
in Boston is to be given, April 90 1
had received within one week 10 tele-
grams, three in one day, urging me to
attend. Senator Lodge was very anx-
ious for me to come. At first | said |
could not. but afterwards and until
this important business / referred to
came up | thought | possibly could
make it.
"As YOU understand, 1 cannot dis
cuss any order 1 have received or may
receive. So far. l have received the
order only through.the newspapers, not
officially.
Il had decided to talk no further of
the Philippine question. My plan in
regard to the banquet Of the officers of
the Colorado National Guard, May l.
was to say nothing whatever about the
merits of the war, but simply to speak
to the toast The Sth Army Corps.
Asked if ne would reply to some per
sonal attacks that have appeared in
print against him, the general said
II have nothing to retract, but j
can't refer to those things without my
blood boiling and have therefore con-
cluded that the safest policy is to avoid
the subject. | have had my say and
people know my sentiments. | have no
desire to harp upon Them
