ONO STREET.

The council last night put itself OF

passing Alderman Woods ordinance

The story of Esther Venn and her re-
lations with the kingdom of Cadi is too
recent in it's more public phase that we
should carry it any further in these
pages. Standing with her husband be-
fore the altar of the cathedral of St.
Ignatius, she herself has answered
those evil tongues which a woman's
victory must ever loosen. Henceforth
her life is to be lived in that old-world
palace, wherefrom for thousand years
the princes of her city have ruled a
willing people. By faith she conquered,
by love will she be justified She was

shapes and all the evidences of strife.
It showed Esther that to which her
eyes had been blinded in the moment
Of the deed. For to her tragedy had
been swift and paralyzing, robbing her
of her common faculties and stilling
her tongue. She had seen a face in the
golden aureole, had heard an echo of
mad laughter; and then the dead man
lay at her feet and the lantern went
out and the darkness Of the supreme
mystery enveloped her
She fed from the room and ran wild
ly down the stairs. If the unknown
had passed out, what should forbid
her? An iron-clamped door at the
stairs foot Knocked her confidence, and
though she beat upon it with clenched
hands and found her voice and cried
Historically for help, none answered
her. The vain blows echoed vainly in
the empty vault above. She sank upon
a step, crouching as though afraid of
that which must come after. Who
watched in the darkness? she asked.
Who had let the woman out? What
friend had been her confederate?
Night passed and found her still hid
ing from the truth. She had lost the
power to reason or to associate her
own fortunes with this supreme trag-
edy. Distant bells chimed the watch
