unconscious air of good breeding which tells OF gentle

held the Queens commission in some crack cavalry

he was the peer of any of their Canadian neghbors,

bowed, glanced uneasily toward the long mech and
enormous nose which had furnished means of identi-
fcation; and they turned still more uneasy glances
upon Sellers who lowered above them, tall, strong,
and beautiful as young girls dream.
"But how did you know my name?" Miss Carruth
asked.
Cassen and Conyers were wondering the same-with
chagrin Ethel Carruth had gone to England to have
her colonial roughness filed and plated with fash

London Bridge down the river, and the
two captains boarded her for Deptford.
There they landed, and took oars, as
the expression then was, for a brig
with the topgallant mast housed, lying
in the stream within convenient pull.
"She appears in very good condition"

eyed him askant, and then after
whistling softly for a bit while he

and entered the forecastle, examined

him, and the rugged seaman had con.

OHIO IDEA OF THE TARIFF.
It Is That Enemies of Protection Keep
Hands of.

IlduhS VII
Following the collapse of the Iowa
Idea" revision scheme, the Ohio idea
of what should be done with the pro.
tective tariff system will be received
with applause. The Ohio idea, as
set forth with simplicity and force in
the state platform Of the Republican
party, is to let we'll enough alone.
In contrast with the Iowa idea Of tin.
kering with the schedules, with the
reciprocity" idea Of driving wedges
into the pillars of protection and with
the free trade idea Of tearing down
the whole splendid structure on which
the national prosperity rests, the Ohio
idea stands out in grateful relief:
1--WE oppose all attacks upon this
policy (the protective tariff policy OF
the Republican party, whatever the
pretext, as tending to bring back the
disastrous days of Democratic tariff
revision and free trade"
The Ohio idea, continued, is that
changing conditions and the possible
benefits Of reciprocity may call for
timely readjustments of schedules, but
protection as a principle and as a
policy must be administered by the
friends Of American prosperity and
must not be sacrificed" The position
taken by the Ohio Republicans is in
full harmony with that Of all but a
selfish or misguided fraction Of their
party in the nation. Their idea, too,
Is that no part Of the prosperity struc-
ture should be touched by the hands
of other workmen than those who
builded 1t. The country just now Is
satisfied with its strength and earn
ing power. There is no call for its
disturbance save from the importers
and shipping interests and wreckers
In high finance" and the demagogues
Of both parties. When the country de-
mands a readjustment Of the tariff
schedules the Republican party will
listen to its request. But there Is no
sign yet that the country is dissatisfied
with prosperity. And it will be a loag
time, we hope and we believe, before
the country either will clamor for a
modification of the tariff or intrust
the care Of the protective system to
the Democratic party.
The Ohio Republican idea Of hands
off the tariff" is the idea of the Re-
publican party and the idea of a vast
majority of this prosperous and con.
tented nation.-New York Press.

Captain Pope pulled the bell Of the
house. The door was opened after a
considerable passage of waiting-dur.
ing which Pope continued to curse the
sea as the most poverty-stricken OF
callings-by dirty little servant who
seemed a compound Of flue and black
lead The Captain pushed in.N
They refreshed themselves in
dingy little bedroom, adjoining the par
lor. There was handsome sea-chesi
here, and a sparkling long telescope.
That's what it's come to-" said
Pope, pointing to these things. Il,
Captain Pope, and as good and careful
a mariner as any as sails out OF the
ports Of this kingdom, cannot get q
ship"
There are scores of u.s." said Crys'
tai, drying his face. MY money sinks
and the ships depart, and | return
to my dirty little lodging sick with
cursing the times have fallen on"
"And disappointment and poverty
don't raise hell and the pirate in your
heart, hey?" cried Pope, staring with a
wild stormy look into the others dark
face.
How do you know that 1t don't?
answered Crystal, picking up a hair
brush.
'Id rob a church. l have no hon
esty left. mean to set up as vii
lain, and you shall help me make a.
fortune for us both, Crystal"
You're not thinking of the high.
way are we, Pope?"
"Ay, the highway that reflects the
canvas of rich keels. But step into
the next room" He pulled out gold
watch. "I'll tell you what's in my
mind, and we can debate 1t over a
pipe after we've supped."
