been for the aggressive solemnity Of

n YER at the crossroads there
1 had been q wedding. Into the
~ sunlight had come the faded
finery, the yellow lace and the
almost lusterless silk that had been
hidden In caves during the war. An
old man who had married and buried
generation after generation had Joined
in life's copartnership a young man
and timid girl. The couple, too much
awed with the new relationship to be
happy, sat in sort Of daze, looking at
each other. A wagon was soon to haul
them to the county seat, where, on an
accommodation train, half passenger
and half freight, they were to be
'whirled" through one county and al
most into the heart of the next-a jour
ney not undertaken without much
marvel. The girls mother had wept,
her father had looked uncomfortable
in shirt that did not fit him, and the
old-maidish sister had wrung out a
few envious tears. Old Limuel Jucklin

hours Of ones life should be made to
speed so slowly: but at last the bride
and groom were off in q shower of
rice, kisses and merry cries.

There they stood on the top step
hand In hand, placidly and absentlY
waving after the disappearing carriage
with their dlsensaged hands. The
other two members were clasped.
1t was three interminabls months
before Harrington was permitted to
announce a farewell dinner to his
bachelor friends. When he reached
the club on that memorable night a
letter awaited him bearing the familiar
foreign poStmark OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Blake's hOneymooning nest Over the
signature Of Madeleine Blake he read
the following:

that Austria will be content to leave

this respect and will not be inclined

The uncertainty engendered is begin
ming seriously to cripple business here

and commercial institutions hesitate to
embark upon enterprises or to develop

as doubt exists whether the economic

the facts that four or five commercial
treaties Of Importance remain to be ne.

sufficient reminder of the precarious sit

coming defections from the liberal
party, the Andrassy dissentients have
secured larger premises for their head
quarters. The chief element Of cohesion
in the liberal party seems now to be the
magnetism Of Count Tisza. As
long as he remains leader many a wav.
ercr will shrink from dcsertion. Hence
the recent efforts of the coalition lead
ers TO have Count Tisza removed at all
costs from the acting premiership. Yet
his influence can only serve as brake.

party will seek the comfort Of soul, to
which it is accustomed, by merging it.

CRISIS
NEAR in
HUNGARY
Emperor Francis Joseph May
Abdicate in Favor Of Heir
PreSumptlVe
Archduke Francis Ferdinand
Especially Unpopular
In Hungary

One thing is certain--a change is
coming in the internal affairs of Austro
Hungarian empire. Whether thi.
change will be of any real Importance
remains TO be seen. The concensus of
the opinions of the best authorities is
to the effect that the change win con.
sist merely in the summoning of a fam.
lily council by Emperor Francis Joseph
and the taking Of the Archduke Fran.
els Ferdinand, the heir presumptive,
into his counsel, even turning some of
the duties of ruler over to him. II is
said that the emperor believes that
this will be an excellent idea, because
in tn event Of his death il will prevent
n sudden break Of continuity in policy
when the archdukc comes TO the throne.
Naturally plans like these are enough
to set going countless rumors Of alb
dicatiou. As general thing the Aus.
trian press has kept silence regarding
the intention of the emperor to summon
family council and his majesty Is
possible abdication. But the prob.
lens involved are being discussed from
one end Of the dual monarchy to the
other.
The discussion is all the more pro.
nounced because the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand is especially unpopular in
Hungary. The heir presumptive is
known to be an advocate Of the strong
est kind Of reprcssive measures. His
absolutist and clerical tendencies are
said to be the chief reason why the
people of Hungary are demanding a
separate army.
Nor is the threat TO demand for the
future separate army, the point most
to be feared by the emperor and the
archduke. Afresh threat from an nj.
tra.Magyar quarter deserves TO be reg
istered. Its author, NJ. Barabas, is the
most influential vice president of the
Independence party and must be taken
seriously, even when most extravagant.

pledged TO furnish for the service and
sinking fund Of the common Austro'
Hungarian debt. II would be rash TO
predict the rejection Of such a motion
by the present Hungarian majority
given sufficient agitation against Wen
