CHAPTER XVI.

A CLASH AND ITB RESULT.
"Y FEEL like spending the rest OF
W my days in that monastery up
@ there" said Lorry after dinner
that evening. They were,stroll-
ing about the town. One was deter
mined to leave the city, the other firm
In his resolve to stay. The latter won
the day when he shrewdly IL explosive
ly reminded the former that 1t was
their duty ne men to stay and protect
the princess from the Vaccinations Of
Gabriel, that knave OF purgatory. Lor-
ry, at last recognizing the hopelessness
of his suit, was ready to throw down
his arms and abandon the field to supe-
rior odds. His presumption in aspiring
for the hand OF a princess began to
touch his sense OF humor, and he
laughed, not very merrily, 1t Is true, but
long and loudly, at his folly. At first
he cursed the world and every one in
It, giving. up in despair, but later he
cursed only himself. Yet as he de-
SPARED and scoffed he felt within him
self an ever present hope that luck
might turn the tide OF battle.
This puny ray grew %perceptibly when
Anguish brought him to feel that she
needed his protection from the man
who had once sought to despoil and
who might reasonably be expected to
perseyere. He agreed to linger in Edel-
weiss. knowing that each day would
d pain to the torture he was already
suffering, his sole object being, he con-
WINGED himself, to Illustrate Gabriel's
evil plans.
Returning late I'm the evening from
their stroll, they entered a cafe cele-
bratcd In Edelweiss. In all his life
Lorry had never known the loneliness
that makes death welcome.
The cafe was crowded with men and
women. In n far corner sat a party Of
Axphain mobiles, their prince, O most
democratic fellow, at the head of a
long table. There were songs, jests and
boisterous laughter. The celebration
grew wilder, and Lorry and Anguish
crossed the room and, taking seats at a
table, ordered wine and cigars, both
eager for a closer View Of the prince.

From A Contemporary.

At great intervals of time we delve
into the columns of our contemporary,
The Congressional Record. BY search
ing with diligence one may sometimes
find in them matter both edifying and
amusing. Recently we roamed
through an issue and this is what we
discovered as having dropped from the
lips of Judge Crumpacker, of Indiana,
a Congressman who bothers his mind
too much about the colored citizens Of
the South:
''Conditions sometimes, when politi-
cal questions greatly agitate the public
mind, are such IS to take away all
sense of fairness and justice from an
otherwise honest Int upright people.
During the recent trial Of the lieuten-
ant governor of South Carolina for
what app ared to be an ~unprOvoked
murder a witness On behalf of the State
was asked on cross examination IL he
had voted for a Republican candidate
for Congress. Objection was made to
the cues ion. 1t was urged on the
ground that it tended to impeach the
credibility Of the witness; and the pre-
siding judge, after mature c%onsidera-
ton, admitted The question, stating
that the jury had q right to take into
consideration the fact that the witness
had voted for q Republican candidate
for Congress as bearing upon his cred
ibility. [Laughter.T"
Crumpacker said this in defending
the governor of Indiana for his refusal
to deliver 20 the authorities of Ken.
lucky the body OF one Taylor, once Re-
publican governor of Kentucky and
now q fugitive, charged with compli-
city in the assassination of Mr.. GoebOl.
South Carolina has thus provided the
Republican negro voting champion
with an argument.
The expression quoted below from
United State, Senator Patterson OF
Colorado is of more Importance. Senator
Patterson is o Democrat, representing
the most partisan Bryan Democracy
in the country and Is himself a devoted
follower of Bryan, though he recently
declared that free silver was a dead is
sue. Senator Patterson was charging
Mr.. Cleveland with having smashed
the Democratic party, and said:
{ Sin South Carolina, to maintain pos
session of that State, under the lead of
Tillman and others the Democrats were
compelled to organize the Democratic
patty along Popalistic lines"
The charge was generally made
throughout South CAROLYN, for years
by the opponents Of Senator Tillman
that hs was virtually @ Populist. We
scarcely expected that a Bryan man
aud a United States Senator would
take the witness stand to prove 1t.

CHAPTER xxvI,l.-contlnu.d.

CHAPTER NxvuI.-Conttnued.
One morning the little street car
stood, as was its wont, at the terminus
Of the track, near the front of the wide
grounds of the old mansion house.
This was far out upon the edge of the
little city, and few were the patrons
that might be expected; but 1t was
held but mere courtesy to offer the
services of the street car line to this
family. SO long recognized as one of
the unimpeachably best of this South
ern city. This modern innovation Of
the street. car was not readily taken
UP by the conservative community,
and though 1t had been established for
some years. it might be questioned
whether its shares had ever paid much
Interest upon their face value.
At this terminus Of the line at the
outskirts of the town there was each
morning enacted the same little scene.
The driver slowly unhitched his mules
and turned them about to the other
end of the car, in readiness for the re-
turn journey. Matters having pro-
gressed this far, the mules fell at
once into a deep state of detection
and somnolence. their ears looping
down, their bodies dropping and mo-
tionless, save as now and then a faint
swish of tail or wag of weary ear
bespoke the knowledge of some bold,
marauding fly. The driver, perched on
his seat, his feet upon the rail. his
knees pushed toward his chin, sat with
his broad hat drawn down upon his
forehead. his hands clasped between
his legs. and all his attitude indicative
Of rest.
Presently from a side street, faced
by large brick dwelling, there came
with regular and unhurried tread a tall
and dignified figure, crowned with a
soft Panama, and tapping with Off
cial cane. AS it approached the car
the driver Strengthened a trifie on the
seat.
Good mawnin,', Judge Wilson," he
said.
"Uh-ah. good mawnin'. James," re-
piled the judge. "Uh-ah, Doctah

with her aunt And then Mary Ellen
deliberately tying the strings of hel
bonnet under her chin, turned. answer
ing her aunt's summons for replevir
of q forgotten fan. Then, slowly
calmly, the gown of white became
more distinct as she came nearer, hel
tall figure composing well with the set
ting Of this scene. For her patiently
waited the Judge and the doctor and
the driver.
Good mawnin', Miss Beecham.'
said the driver as she passed, touch
ing his hat and infusing more stiff
ness into his spine.
Good morning. sir" she replied
pleasantly.
"Uh-ah, good mawnin', Miss Beech
am, good mawnin'," said Judge vii
son; and Good mawnin'," said Dr.
Gregg.
Good morning, Judge Wilson," re
piled Mary Ellen, as she entered the
car. Good morning, DR.. Gregg" The
gentlemen made way for her upon
the shady side of the car, and lifted
their hats tremendously.
ILL late this mawnin', Miss Beech
am, seems like" said the judge, with
no trace of resentment In his tones.
DR.. Gregg upon this morning began
his customary reproach also, but II
halted upon his tongue. Miss Beech
