when Madame Hyde was Rather
inc Van Heemskirk, and younger
than you are, she had two lovers;
one, Capt. Dick Hyde, and the other
a young man called Neil Semple;
and they fought a duel about her,
and nearly cut each other to pieces"
"Arenta!"
ooh, it is the very truth, assure
you! And while Hyde still lay be-
tween life and death, Miss Van
Heemskirk married him; and as soon
as he was able he carried her of at
midnight to England; and there they
lived in a fine old house until the
war. Then they came back to New
York and Hyde went into the Cont
mental army and did great things,
suppose, for as we all know, he was
made a general. And will you please
only try to imagine it of Mrs. General
Hyde! A woman so lofty! So calm!
Will you imagine her as Katherine
Van Heemskirk in short, quilted
peticoat, with her hair hanging in
two braids down her back, running
away at midnight with Gen. Hyde!"
He was her husband. She COM
mitted no fault"

are working so close to the window
this afternoon"
You are going to say something |

Truth is wholesome, if not agree
able; and the truth is, you expect
Lieut. Hyde to pass. But he will not
do so. I saw him booted and spur
red, on a swift horse, going up the
river road. He was bound for Hyde
Manor, | am sure. Now, Cornelia,
you need not move your frame; for
no one will disturb you. He will not
be insinuating himself with violets

are you? Quite well. Now, then, L
am happy. Happy as can be! Look
now, Richard!" she called, as she
flung the door open, and entered with
the handsome, smiling youth at her
side.
In his way the father was just as
much pleased. Kate, my dear
heart" he cried, "let us have some
thing to eat. The boy will be hun
cry as hunter after his ride. And
George, what brings you home? We
were just telling each other-your
mother and THAT you were in the
height of the city's follies."
Indeed, sir, there will be few fol-
lies for some days. Mr.. Franklin is
dead, and the city goes into mourn
ing"
"Tis a fate that all must meet"
said the General, but death and
f'rankIjn would look each other in
the face as friends He had a
work to do, he did it well, and it is
finished. That is all. What other
news do you bring?"

George WINGED little. He remem-
bered that the Morans were Of French
extraction, and he answered:
After all, father, we must Judge
people individually. Mere race is
not much"

young fellow" But he said the
words without much care, and Mrs
Moran was not satisfied.
"Then you do not disapprove the
meeting, John?" she asked.
YES, do George Hyde has too
many Objectionable qualities. HIS
father is an Englishman of the most
pronounced type and this young man
is quite like him. / want no English
man in my family"
There have been many Dutch mar
riages among the Morans."
THAT is a different thing. the
Dutch, as a race, have every desir-
able quality. The English are nat
ural despots. The young mans
faults are racial; they are in the
blood. Cornelia shall not have any
thing to do with him. Why do you
sneak of such disagreeable things,
Ava?"
at is well to look forward, John"
mo. 1t is time enough to meet
annoyances when they arrive. AS
for the Hydes, father and son,
would prefer to hear no more about
them"
Nothing further was said on the
subject, but the doctor looked more
attentively at his daughter than was
usual with him. He was more silent
than ordinary; and as ne went out,
told Cornelia she would do well not
to appear in public.
"The city is in mourning" he
said. land respectable women who
have no real business or duty to take
them from their homes will pay the
reverence of seclusion in them until
after Franklin's funeral"
A couple of hours later Cornena
was sitting at her tambour-frame,
passing her needle slowly through
and through the delicate muslin. She
was desiring no companionship,
when Arenta entered with her usual
little furry and rustic. Arenta kiss
ed her friend and took OF her hat
and cloak, saying. as she did so;
Il have been at Aunt Angelica's

Angelica talked.

A short time after Cornelia came
home, Doctor Moran returned from
his professional visits. Nature had
left the impress of her nobility on his
finely formed forehead; nothing but
truth and kindness looked from his
candid eyes. On entering the room,
he drew his wife close to his heart
and kissed her affectionately

Death, however often you meet him."
"And you have met Death this
morning, | see that, John?"
"You are right, Ava. | must now
tell you that Elder Semple died this
.horning."
"The dear old man! He has been
sick and sorrowful ever since his wife
died. Were any of his sons PRESENT."
None of them. The two eldest
have been long away. Neil was
obliged to leave New York when the
Act forbidding Tory lawyers to prac-
tice was passed. But he was not quite
alone, his old friend Joris Van
Heemskirk was with him to the last
moment. The love of these old men
for each other was a very beautiful
thing"
There is nothing to fear in such
a DEATH"
Nothing at all. Last week when

Is Cornelia?"
"In her room. John, she went to

"She told you about it?'
"Oh, yes. and without inquiry"

PRIZES OF THE BRITISH BAR.
High Salaries and Large Fortunes Are
the Rule.

TIIYH SALARIES dHu LdTyC nc
the Rule.
The Lord High Chancellor of Great
Britain is second only in position to
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he
enjoys an income of 10000 a year.
Tie Lord Chief Justice of England has
salary of $4,000 year. The Mas
ter of the Rolls has salary of $4,000
a year, and the Lords of Appeal in Or
binary have the same. The lord JUS
tees of the Court of Appeal and the
judges of the High Court earn $4,000
a year each. The masters of the High
Court are chosen either from barris-
tiers or from solicitors, but all the
other officeholders to whom we have
alluded must have come from the bar.
The Attorney General makes much
more money than any Of these digni-
taries His salary is only $1,000, but
he has fees as well, sometimes to
very large amount. The Solicitor Cen
eral has 10000 a year besides his
fees. OF course, the double work, le-
gal and parliamentary which these
officers have to undertake is most ar
duous, requiring an iron constitution
and a mind that requires but little
time for rest The private practition-
ers in some few cases make larger in
comes than any of the official persons
at the bar. 1t Is not, indeed, many
who make salaries of five figures, but
there may be always one or two lead
ers who are achieving this. The lead
ers who are chiefly before the public
in ordinary cases do not often make
more than from $4,000 to $4,000
year. Larger fortunes are frequently
made by men who specialize in pat
ent cases, who are engaged in rating
appeals and compensation work, or
who practice their profession at the
parliamentary bar.-Cornhill Maya

"Cornelia, my dear companion, let

Then the door closed and Cornelia
was left alone. But the atmosphere
of the room was charged with
Arenta's unrest and a feeling of dis
appoint was added to it. She
suddenly realized that her lovers
absence from the city left a great
vacancy. She had a new strange
happiness, new hopes, new fears and
new wishes; but they were not an
urmixed delight, for she was also
aware of a vague trouble, want that

i'm a word, she had crossed the
threshold of womanhood and was
no longer a girl.

Entry bv Nomination in Navy.

The writer of an article in Pages
Magazine on Lord Selborne's new
scheme for the training of British
naval officers makes some pointed re-
marks on the present methods of en-
try to the navy. He states that the
proposed mode of entry by nomina-
ton is a relic of admiralty patronage,
which the board is unwilling to re-
linouish; but, whether the admirals
like it or not, it must soon go the
way of all such Anticipated privileges.
Open competition is sure to come
within the next few years. The re-
suit of this entry by nomination will
be to keep the naval service-as far
as the officers are coneerned-in the
family circles of the admiralty and
their friends; so that parents without
influence inside of that charmed circle
will have no chance of getting their
boys into the navy. however desirable
the boys themselves may be, or how
ever ready the parents may be to in
cur the heavy expense of educating
their boys for the service Of their
country.

ton which compels him to ask what

much in earnest, so honestly in love,
that he felt his doubts and anxieties

% Patients, One OF
Whom Perished.
The Others We're Rescued in
Their Night Clothes.

Pensacola, Fla. Jan. 14.-Fire early
today destroyed DR. Bryan's infirmary,
a three-story frame structure at Baylen
and Darden streets. There were % pa
tients in the building, and all were res
cued with the exception of a man
named Blockton, who was burned to
death in his room.
Less than q year ago the building was
refitted from top to bottom and a, costly
X-ray apparatus installed. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by sparks
from a CRATE falling on a rug in the
room of Blockton. He was i'll and was
unable to move and by the time the fire
was discovered he was burned to death.
The citizens aided the firemen in the
work of rescuing the inmates There
were many narrow escapes and all the
patients were compelled to leave the
building in their night clothes. AS a
result of the exposure and excitement
several patients had relapses. All of
them were removed to St. Anthony's
hospital where they were given prompt
attention. Nothing was saved from the
infirmary and the loss is total

Grand Jury Finds Evi-
dence of Conspiracy
While Investigating the Causes
of the Coal Famine.
TO CONVICT.
Criminal Prosecutions Regarded
as a Certainty.
Three Coal Companies Are
Marked as Victims.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Conspiracy indict-
ments against members of at least
three hard and soft coal combinations
doing business in Illinois and Indiana
are expected as the result of the labors
of the special grand jury in the fuel
famine inquiry. It is considered possi-
BILE that these indictments will include
witnesses who nave appeared before
the investigating body. This it is as
serted can and probably will be done
through corroborative evidence secured
tending to prose guilt brought to the
attention of the grand jury by the wit
nesses' own testimony.
The jurors were advised today. it is
believed in what instances the evidence
is deemed strong enough to convict and
true bills may be found late today or
tomorrow. Assistant States Attorney
Albert c. Barnes, who is the chief
prosecutor in criminal cases, has been
called in TO aid in designating the men
against whom sufficient evidence has
been secured and his advent is taken
to mean that criminal prosecutions are
a certainty
INJUNCTION ASKED FOR.
Detroit Mich, Jan. 14.-After much
investigation for number OF Gays
Prosecuting Attorney Hunt today flied
an information against the Detroit Coai
exchange. an organization Of thirty local
dealers, charging violation Of the state
antitrust law OF 1899, and asking for
an injunction. In the information
Prosecutor Hunt quotes section five OF
the constitution Of the exchange which
declares that members shall not sell
coal under the minimum price fixed by
the exchange and provides a nne Tor
violation of the antitrust law of 1899,
and asks for an injunction to restrain
the exchange and its members from

OBJECTIONS ARISE.
Work of Beet Sugar Men Seen in
Committees Action.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed to recommend the adoption of
an amendment to the Cuban reciproc-
ity treaty providing that the reduction
Of 20 per cent in the tariff on Cuban
sugar shah not be further reduced by
any preferential rate given to another
country. This action was taken at the
instance of the beet sugar men.
Today's meeting also served to de-
velop objections to other features of
the treaty. Senator Taliafero made
an argument before the committee
urging amendments to the provisions
relating to tobacco and cattle and Sem
ators Bacon and Bailey, both Demo-
cratic mem bers of the committee indi-
Gated opposition to the treaty on other
grounds. Senator Bacon offered an
amendment placing the Cuban treaty
on the same basis as other reciprocity
treaties with reference to the house of
representatives, but the amendment
was not acted on. Senator Bailey took
positive ground against the policy Of
securing reciprocal relations with other
countries by means of treaties. He
said that such course is unconstitu-
tional in that it is an interference with
the authority vested in the house of
representatives to originate all tariff
legislation.
