Il forget not, my friend. My Joris
sees not me, and l 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 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 a
bunch of daffodils. She was small,
but exquisitely formed, and she
walked with fearlessness and distinc-
ton. r,
OF all this charming womanhood the
young man at her side was profoundly
conscious. A tall, sunbrowned, mill
tary-lool1ing young man, as handsome
as Greek god. He was also very
finely dressed, In the best and highest
mode; and he wore his sword as if it
were part of himself. Indeed, all
his movements were full of confidence
and ease; and yet it was the vivacity,
vitality, and ready response of his.
face that wps most attractive.
His wonderful eyes were bent upon
the maid at his side; he saw no other
earthly thing. With a respectful Gag
erness, full of admiration, he talked
to her; and she answered his words
whatever they were-with 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

CHATTER j.


Never, in all its history, was the
proud and opulent city of New York
more glad and gay than in the bright
spring days of Seventeen Hundred
and-Ninety-One. 1t had put out of
sight every trace of British rule and
occupancy, all it's homes had been re-
stored and re-furnished, and its sacred
places re-consecrated and adorned.
The skies of Italy were not bluer than
the skies above It; the sunshine Of
Arcadia not brighter or more genial.
These gracious days of Seventeen
Hundred-and-Ninety were also
the early days of the French revolu-
ton, and fugitives from the French
court-princes and mobiles, statesmen
and generals, sufficient for new Iliad,
1oitered about the pleasant places of
Broadway and Wall street, Broad
street, and Maiden Lane. They were
received with courtesy, and even with
hospitality, although America at that
date almost universally sympathized
with the French Republicans, whom
they believed to be the pioneers of po-
1itical freedom on the aged side Of the
Atlantic. Love for France, hatred for
England, was the spirit of the age;
it effected the trend Of commerce, it
dominated politics, it was the keynote
of conversation wherever men and
women congregated.
Yet the most pronounced public
feeling always carries with it note
of dissent, and it was just at this day
that dissenting opinion began to make

away in the confidential archives of
the British war office.
Now, it maybe that the British gov
eminent was right, and that Dundon-
AIDS invention was too inhumanly de-
structive to be used. But it seems
doubtful if governments will assent to
the outlawing of any of the existing
enginery of war, Or even of some new
inventions that may yet be perfected.
1t would be absurd to de-
mand that warfare in the twentieth
century should be conducted with the
weapons of the tenth century. Nor
arc we sure that it would be we'll for
humanity thus to restrain warfare
within primitive limits, even If it could
be done. The mere terrible the en-
gires of war become, the fewer the
wars themselves become, and, strange
as it may seem, the less destructive do
they become. Hannibal used weapons
which would be contemplate by the
side of those of the last hundred years,
and his army was mere handful COM
pared with those welded by Napoleon
and Grant and Moltke. Yet no battle
of the last century can be compared
with Cannae in destructiveness to hui
man life. Had Gettysburg equaled it,
proportionately, not single man Of
Lees army WOULD have been left alive.
AS for Waterloo, its slaughter seems
insignificant besides that of the Apu-
liam field. Nor YVES Can2ae singular.
The battles and the wars of old were,
as a general rule, more numerous and
more deadly than those of modern
times. The broadsword and the plum
did greater havoc than the rifle and
the machine gun. So, in strange
way, do deadly inventions lessen NOR
tally, and so, with a strange literal
ness, does civilization get forward up
on a powder cart.-New York Tribune.

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
ton, for Peter Van Clyffe had built it
early in the century as bridal pres
ent to his daughter when she married
Philip Moran, a lawyer who grew to
eminence among colonial judges.
One afternoon in April, 1901, two
men were standing talking opposite
to 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-
lieved in France; the tragedies she
had been enacting in the holy name of
liberty, though they had saddened,
had, hitherto, not discouraged him.
But the news received that morning
had almost killed his hopes for the
lspread of republican ideas in Europe.

Under the Sun.

The men who have gone before us
Have sung the songs we sing;
The words of our. clamorous chorus.
They were heard of the ancient king.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill us,
They were struck in the years gone by
And the arrows of death that kill US
Are found where our fathers lie
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day:
The moan of the stricken creature
Has rung in the woods Away.
But the songs are worth resinging,
With the change of no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
AS they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow, Love!
Nor need there ever be,
Cor the old, with its hill and hollow
I'LL Love,
j Is enough for you and me.

CHAPTER II.
This ls the Way Of Love.


Cornelia fingered in the garden, be.
cause she had suddenly, and as yet ,un.
consciously, entered into that tender
mystery, so common and so sovereign,
which we call Love. In Hyde's pres.
ence she had been suffused with
bewildering, profound emotion, which
had fallen on her as the gentle showers
fall, to make the flowers of spring.
This handsome youth, whom she had
only seen twice, and in the most for.
NAL manner, affected her as no other
mortal ever done. She was a little
afraid.

thought; "and it is as if had new

Dolly Warden.
It was all exqnisitely dainty, so re-
fined, so far removed from all hint OF
vuIgarism, in costume, scene, music or
dialogue. The captivating melodies
mstched in character the lovely Wat
teau gowns of the women ard the
stately brocade coats, jeweled buckles
and powdered wigs of the men. It was
like some Dresden dream walked to re-
atty by the pulse quickening melodies
that were sung with nev8r iarring
note, never displeasing cadence.
Miss Maud Hollins sustained admi-
rably the part of ODDLY Warden" her
efforts being more than ably seconded
by those of Forrest Huff, who is good
to look upon and sings and dances to
perfection.
Miss Rena Aubrey, who takes the
part of Letitia Fairfax, has an excep-
tional voice, clear and sweet and reso-
nant: Her stage presence is extremely
pleasing and she is in every way
worthy of the repeated encores she re-
ceived last night. Mr.. Tom Daniels
