Hamilton's office"
I'VE also have been young, Van
Heemskirk."
* forget not, my friend. My Joris
sees not me, and will not see him"
Then the two old men were silent,
but their eyes were fixed on the youth
and maiden, who were slowly advanc.
ing toward them.
She might have stepped out of the
folded leaves Of a rosebud, so lovely
was her face, framed in its dark curls.
Her dress was of some soft, green ma
terial; and she carried in her hand
bunch Of dafSodils She was small,
but exQuisitely formed, and she
walked with fearlessness and distinc-
ton.
OF all this charming womanhood the
young man at her side was profoundly
conscious. A tall, sunbrowned, mill
tary-looking young man, as handsome
as a Greek god. He was also very
finely dressed, in the best and highest
mode; and he wore his sword as II 1t
were a part of himself Indeed, all
his movements were fun of confidence
and ease; and yet it was the vivacity,
vitality, and ready response Of his
face that was most attractive.
His wonderful eyes we're bent upon
the maid at his side; he saw no other
earthly thing. With respectful Gag
erness, full of admiration, he talked
to her; and she answered his words
whatever they were--with a smile
that might have moved mountains.
They passed the two old men without
any consciousness of their presence,
and Van Heemskirk smiled, and then
sighed, and then said softly
so much youth, and beauty, and
happiness! II is benediction TO have
seen 1t! / shall not reproye Joris at
this time. But now / must go back

When their eyes turned to the
Moran house the vision Of youth and
beauty had dissolved Van Heems-
kinks grandson. Lieut. Hyde, was
fastening towards Broadway; and the
lovely Cornelia Moran was sauntering
up the garden OF her home, shopping
occasionally to examine the pearl
powdered auriculas or to tWine around

Of It's proper place.
Then Van Ariens hurried down to
his Tanning pits in the swamp; and
Van Heemskirk went thoughtfully to

eral Han, he stood a minute a the
doorway; and with inspired eyes

GOOD CUSTOMER OF FRANCE.

England Makes Heavy Purchases
from Her old-Tlme Foe.
Jean Finot, editor Of the Revue des
Revues, recently put the relations be-.
tween France and England in a most
striking fashion. He said:
Great Britain deserves the name
of the richest and most important OF
French colonies. France is so bound
up with her fate that the disappear
ance Of England's economic power
would cause her incalculable mischief.
Our total exports in 1901 were only
4,155,000,000 francs, OF which Eng
land took 1854, 100000 francs, or
more than 80 per cent OF all the mer-
chandise which We cast on the
worlds market But even Of more i'm
portance is the fact that the amount
of English purchases in France Is
constantly growing From 1,OS2,O00,-
900 francs in 1896 1t rose to ], 1S2,O00,,
900 francs In 1897, to 1885, 000, 600
francs in 1899, and to 1864, 900, 900
francs in 1901, thus showing an in.
crease Of 232,00O,0O0 francs, or over
% per cent In iYe years. Now the
purchases from the mother country OF
all the French colonies, including
Algeria, 259 100000 francs, and Tunis,
about s4.OOO,0O0 francs, together with
those scattered all over the world
about 100000 francs, did not
amount IN 1900 to more than 100000,
900 francs. Besides this colossR.
amount OF purchases. the English
yearly spend considerable sums in
Bgancs. The money left 10 our coun-
try By Englishmen visiting Paris o.
their favorlte reaorts Is commonly
estimated at 500.000,O0O francs, thus

itself heard. The horrors Of Avignon,
and of Paris, the brutality with which
the royal family had been treated, and
the abolition Of all religious ties and
duties, had many and bitter oppo-
nents.
In these days Of wonderful hopes
and fears there was. in Maiden Lane,
a very handsome residence-an old
house even in the days of Washing
tom, for Peter Van Clyffe had built 1t
early in the century as a bridal pres.
emit to his daughter when she married
Philip Moran, lawyer who grew to
eminence among colonial judges.
One afternoon in April, 1871, two
men were standing talking opposite
90 the entrance gates OF the pleasant
place. They were Capt Joris Van
Heemskirk, a member of the Congress
then sitting In Federal Hall, Broad
street, and Jacobus Van Ariens, a
wealthy citizen, and deacon in the
Dutch church. Van Heemskirk be-
IieYed in France the tragedies she
had been enacting in the holy name Of
liberty, though they had saddened,
had, hitherto, not discouraged him.
Bat the news received that morning
had almost killed his hopes for the
spread OF republican ideas In Europe.

Missouri Workmen's Verdict Against
an ldIer Who Stole Lunch.
Festus, Mo-: The value of a work
ingman's full dinner pail was appar-
emily established when a jury compos-
ed mostly Of worhngmen returned a
verdict in Squire w. osterwald's JUS
lice Court at Festus, Mo, late Friday
evening, assessing the punishment for
the theft of a dinner pail and its con-
tents at fine of 800 and imprison-
ment in the county jail for one year.
From the evidence it appeared that
one Clarence Davis, who had been a
hanger-on around the furnaces of the
Pittsburg Plate Glass Company's fac
tory at Crystal City, Mo-, had been in
the habit of appropriating the working
mems dinner pals for some time past,
but having been caught up with at this
time, Davis was arrested and brought
before the justice, where the jury re-
turned the above verdict. 1t was prob
ably an expensive luncheon for Davis,
but the employees of the factory may
not be in danger of losing their dinners
surreptitious for awhile hereafter.

The people coming from Iowa arc

turn every foot of land to account and

are strangely mingled in the young

man, and Ida E. Warren, daughter OF

The couple were quietly married
Thursday at the Cottle hotel at New

sought to take the life OF the young
woman who is now his bride. Ray
then went to the home of his sister,
Mrs. Louise Short, at Newburg, and,
walking out into the yard, placed a
pistol over his heart and fired. BY
hairs breadth the bullet missed the
larger artery, and after a hard battle
with death Ray recovered. The OBJ
pection of Rays mother to his mar
riage and her refusal to turn over TO
him money which he had saved
prompted the deed Afterward these
difficulties were removed, and the

not stepped into the city Jail when he
did Friday night the chances are two
desperate prisoners would not have

Of them is man under sentence of
death.
Gilstrap found the men on the floor
making saws of a case knife and an old
barlow. ]. M. Robertson, the man to
be executed, was holding the case
knife on the cell floor, while Tom Wal
Ter, alias shorty" was holding the
sharp edge of the barlow against the
other knife and pounding it with a
poker.
They had about completed the work
Of making two very good saws of the
knives. The prisoners refused to sur
render them, and they were taken by
force. Their purpose was to saw off
two bars on the door hinges, and their
tools were adequate to do the work il
they had been afforded the chance.
