The Northern people seem con-

arouse the fanatics in the North,

IT'S FEATURES REVIEWED.
Civil Service Bill in Porto Rican As.
sembly.

An administration bill recently introduced
in the Porto Rican assembly by DR.. Jose
Gomez Brioso, member Of the executive
council. has been under consideration by
the civil service commission, and the latter
has forwarded to the board of civil service
examiners at San Juan a review OF. fea-
lures of the measure.
The bill in some instances follows the
wording of the federal civil service act of
1888, and in other instances the civil service
rules. The main defects pointed out by the
commission is the absence of provision for
the following: Classification of laberers.
both skilled and unskiled and a method
for appointing them; extension of the civil
service to new departments; prohibition of
any person, even if not employed in the
ecutive, judicial or administrativ service,
from soliciting or receiving political con-
tributons or assessments; prevention of
persons in the Porto Rican civil service
from using their official authority or in
huence to influence elections. and prohib-
ton of discharges or degradations because
of political or religious affiliations" as had
been suggested to the Porto Rican authori-
ties'by"the commission here. --,. .

CHAPTER XXI.
Mary Amman Learns the Truth.

Mary AMMAN had changed greatly in this
period. Without surrendering single con-
victon, where she had despised, she ad-
mired; where she had hated. she respected
where she had thought she had forgotten
she remembered; where she remembered,
she loved, Yes. she was still devoted to the
south and would cheerfuly have died for
Il. She had many a time longed that she
were a man to draw sword or carry a
musket in defense of her country. She
would not have hesitated a moment be-
tween love and duty. she thought, but she
had come to realize that. while duty may
the supreme appeal. And the outward and
visible shape which that supreme appeal
took before her heart was not that of Oar
row, TO whom she was betrothed but Of
Peyton, whom she had rejected. She loved
him. In spite of her pride, in spite of her
cause, In spite of her will, in spite of every
thing. she loved him,
No IN Mobile had heard from Boyd
Peyton since that day he dropped out of
their existence years before. But she had
loved him with growing intensity ever
since. To be sure, she had engaged herself
10 Darrow. She had persuaded herself in
his presence that she could do it with
safety: she had tried to blind herself to the
truth, and she had chung to that engage
nlent with desperate tenacity during the
intervening years But her eyes were open
ed. and she realized all too soon that the
tie binding her to barrow was merely one
OF honor and respect.
II was a pity that this was so, for OAR
rOW had shown himself most admirable in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-02-13

Her feelings grew so strong at last that
she came to the conclusion that she must
tell barrow. If 1t killed him, he must
know. Every letter she received In its
honor demanded that he should be told the
truth She did not love him. She never
could love him. Marriage with him would
be no sacrament, but sacrilege. She hon
ored him, she esteemed him. She would
have given worlds to have felt differently
She had honestly tried to love him. but her
heart had at last outleaped constraint. That
was the naked truth.
She could not permit herself to deceive
him longer, so at last she poured out her
heart to him in one long broken appeal,
telling him the whole truth. .shaming her
self, scorning herself, but asking for free
dom.
In agony she penned the letter There
was no doubt in her mind as to the sin
certify of Darrow's passion for her. She
looked into her own heart and saw what he
would suffer, and she suffered for and with
him. The penalty and reward of a great
passion are In sympathy it begets with the
suffering that always follows knowledge of
the heart She was dreadfulIy unhappy.
But for Boyd Peyton she would have died.

the situations in which he had been placed
He had developed grandly. From major Of
his regiment he had risen to the command
of an Alabama brigade, and in all the des-
perate fighting of the army of northern
Virginia he had borne splendid and heroic
part. The state rang with praise of the
young paladin. Alabama was proud of
him; Mobile rejoiced to claim him.
There was something quiXouc yet admra-
bic about the young mans position the
subject of home coming. Mary Amman had
promised herself to him when the war was
over and he could come home a victor and
until that time arrived he had promised to
let her alone. He would do it. He would
keep that promise if it broke his heart
Like Uriah of old. he believed his place to

the echo of moving squadrons the roar of

Grafton of his great, devoted heart. She
was the master theme in all the voices the
crowded years played in his soul. Without
her he was nothing, one of thousands as
brave and strong as he. With her he was
hero. The realization of that fact had
kept her to her engagement. He had scarce
ly gone before she wished it broken.
Darrow was no less admirable than Pey-
ton. True, he had not been compelled to
make any such sacrifice as the other had,
but he had done what he conceived to be
his duty with direct simplicity that was
admirable.
But what of all this? 1t was nothing. If
Darrow had been lowered with every fac
ulty, possessed of every virtue. and II Pey-
ton had none OF these. she would have loved
him just the same. Her passion had passed
far beyond the calmly reasoning or reason
able stage. 1t took note only Of facts, or,

rather, of the one sublime fact that she
loved him. DarrowS appeal had been most
powerful to the physical side of her nature,
ana that side was growing more and more
IN allowance in her developing life. If she
could have seen him, it might have been
different. She might have realized the
change in him.
Yet she was not ignorant of what he had
done for and through her; how he had de-
Veloped In love and war. And she was fear
full what the consequences might be to him
and, II he were of value, to the south if she
should take away from him the stimulus ot
hope. Yet she had at last reached the point
where she felt compelled to do so. AS he
loved her more he expected more from her;
as she loved Peyton more she gave DarroW
less and less.
Her heart had turned absolutely to Pey
ton. Saving her duty to the south, she
was his. HIS absence, the impossbility of
their meeting, all conspred to produce the
utter abandonment with which she gave
way to her passion. She could not sit
single moment in the solitude of her cham
Der without thinking of him. She realized
that If he ever stood again before her with
his arms stretched out to her no power on
earth should keep them apart-unless her
duty to the south interviewed. And even
that duty would have to be Overwhelming
in its appeal to stay her movement toward
him.
Her being went out to lin more strongly
when she learned inadvertently that he was
an officer on one Of the ships blockading
II.
Fate had as yet given him little opportunity
for Distinction; he was only a lieutenant
the watch officer Of frigate.
The overpowering of great passion, such
as poets have dreamed of, such as histo-
rians have written Of. such as, given wider
fields, have moved the world, was upon
her. The thought of Peyton obsessed her
and her heart cried out to him with every
beating. She trembled even at the most
secret thought of his name. She was never
SO happy as when Mrs. Peyton, long since
having dsregarded her husbands injunc-
tions talked of him.
The elder woman marked the revelation
and wondered with painful pity for poor
barrow and a mighty yearning for her eld-
est son, how it would all end. The grim old
father, too, Gown on the ramparts of Fort
Morgan. watched the fleet tossing to and
fro on the long swells of the Gulf of Mexico
and longed for sight of the boy he had
so loved.
In Mary Annans waking hours she was
afraid, afraid to think how much she loved
Boyd Peyton. In the long nights she
dreamed of him. She was his. that was ALL
Whether he claimed her or no. whether he
knew 1t or not, she was his. All, loving
God, how she prayed for him in every hour
OF her life! The south and he mingled In
her petitions, and only that God who can
read the holy mystery of a loving woman
heart knew which came first.

gone out as q major had mustered its
