A flush crept into Dolores face, then
died out, leaving her deadly white.
The room grew dark. around her; the
roar of the storm died away-every-
thing died away save the dim horror
in her heart and an echo that grew
and grew until the air throbbed and
filled her ears deafeningly. What
would Dora say and think If she
knew-ard Of course she knew.
She endeavored to speak, to cry out,
to struggle with them, but she was
as one struck dumb and motionless
with the dread words laundering in
her ears weirdly, their terrible mean
ing:
Every one has heard Of your
father and could tell her Of him be-
cause of the trial that was to come

Eyes" young Green said. A fur
row of thought appeared on his fore
head. He stood silent a moment, his
blue eyes meeting the black ones OF
the doctor, squarely, as though ne
would see down into his very soul.
Then he passed from the room, noise
lessly closing the door behind him.
For a moment he stood behind Dolores
porting over the books In the hre-
light. She neither heard nor saw him;
she was tracing out one OF the con-
stellations on the map before her, her
lips were parted as though she was
smiling. The face of the watcher I'M
derwent many changes In the short
minute he stood there in the Pickering
light and darkness behind her chair;
then he turned silently away and pass
ed out of the room without disturb
ing her. He took down his hat and
coat from one of the nails in the room
and went out into the storm as though
he were dazed by some sudden start
ling thought!
BY and by, when the nurse came out
of the room, Dolores closed her book
slowly, as though with regret, and
gathered up her hair, twisting 1t about
her graceful head carelessly. The
color and fire died out Of her. face and
eyes as she arose to prepare supper.
But Mrs. Allen interrupted her.
"Sit still, Miss Johnson" she said.
cheerily, "and read your book, but not
by this light; l will fetch a candle"
She took down candle from the
shelf and lighted it with a strip OF
pine wood from the fire. She pulled
out the clean pine table noiselessly,
and set it; she cut some thin slices OF
bread and toasted them before the fire.
When they were done to an exquisite
turn, she buttered them deity and
set them on a plate on the hearth
to keep warm. When all was ready
the nurse drew up the table and
placed it beside the fire, placing a
a chair for her.
Come, child" she said, gently.
The professional tone had left her
voice utterly; the girl felt a sudden
rush Of tears that burned her eyelids.
They were the first she had shed in
her life as she remembered.
TITS dreary night" the nurse said,
cheerfully, taking no special notice OF
the girl apparently. "The fire bright

voice went on; "she has been an in

times I believe love her as a lover

Dolores knew nothing of love or
lovers, but she listened quietly. Per-
haps this woman would tell her what
love was.

tinued. Her hair is golden brown,
soft as silk, and long; arranging 1t is

HIqh Living Under Charles II.

The following was considered the
best universal sauce in the world"
in tho days of Charles II. at least
what was accounted such by the Duke
of York. who was instructed to pre-
pare it by the Spanish ambassador.
II consisted Of parsley and a dry
toast pounded In q mortar, with vine

A fashionable or cabinet dinner OF
the same period consisted Of "a dish
of marrow bones, leg Of mutton, a
dish Of fowl, three pullets and dozen
larks, all In a dish; a great tart, q

dish Of prawns and cheese"
At the same period a supper dish,

Standing Rewards for Capture Of Ban

dts Seldom Paid by Government.
Brigands are constantly giving
trouble to the Italian government,
which seems rather strange in view Of
the fact that rewards are assured
to any persons who wage a successful
war against these law-breakers. Ac-
cording to an edict which dates back
to the time when the Pope was all
powerful In Italy, and which is still
in force, anyone who captures a bril-
gand alive and who hands him over
to justice is entitled to a reward Of
5000; anyone who kills a brigand will
receive a reward of $500; anyone who
captures brigand chief will get
$1,000, and any brigand who betrays
an accomplice will be pardoned for his
past crimes and will receive 800 as
an additional reward. This last re-
ward has seldom been paid. since
Italian brigands are not accustomed
to betray each other.

No More Confidence Games.

1t Is apparent that the reorganlzers
are attempting to play another con
tidence game, first on the democratic
party and then on the public. They
want a platform that Is ambiguous
and candidates who are not Openly
pledged to anything, but who are
secretly pledged to the Representatives
of organized wealth. Then they propose
to collect large campaign fund from
the corporations and use 1t to buy tho
floating vote. The word democrat
is to be used to cover anything that tDe
schemers want and the campaign is 10

State TO pass any general law, affect

nothing short of criminal fooolishness
upon the part of the law makers
themselves. To say that Ignorance
of the law excuses no man, and at
the same and without notice or publ
cation to 80 constantly change the
statute law of the land as to render II
practically impossible for the masses
of the people to know what the law
is, is supply Just one OF those fool
things for which the average Tennessee
law maker Is more or less famous.
The people ought to demand that
every general law De published in one
paper in each county In the State, 40
that the people may know the laws
they are bound, as good citizens, to
obey.
But in the meantime the magis-
tfates, in a common sense construe-
ton and enforcement of this law,
should in a measure atone for the
shortcomings of the Legislature. To
jerk a poor old man up and fine MIN
six or eight dollars because his little
boy has in his possession a pet mock
ing bird, is an enforcement OF the
letter to the disregard OF the spirit OF
the law. In ali such cases the mag
istrate should exercise some discretion,
and try to do common justice between
the citizen and the State. The section
relating to mocking or canary birds,
and the keeping them in a cage as a
domestic pet, does not apply to those
already in possession before the pass
age of this act, which was March a.
1903. II you had your bird before
then you can keep it, but you cannot
kill or catch or buy or sell these birds
hereafter.
English sparrows, great horned
owls, sharp skinned hawks-commonly
known as the little blue carter or blue
tail; Cooper's hawk, known as the Dig
blue darter or blue tail; crows. crow
black bird and turkey buzzard, are not
included among the birds protected.
These may be killed In any way at
any time. But it Is positively against
the law to kill any bird of plumage
for its plumage. This provision is
intended to restrain the cruel mania
fashion sometimes leads otherwise
good women to indulge IN. On the
whole the law is good one, when
properly understood and enforced.
