CHAPTER LxI.
The Remuneration.

Gordon entered his bleak room with

acting as his adjutant was waiting,
and him he dismissed without debating
his usual correspondence. The strug-
into his fund of physical resistance.
A tremor was in his hands-a cold
sweat on his forehead.
Riding, with the ashes of denial on
his lips, it had come to him that in
this temptation he had met his last
and strongest enemy. 1t had found
him in his weakness, and that weak
ness it would not be given him to sur
mount. The sword was wearing out
the scabbard. His own hand should
never lead the Greece he loved to its
freedom-should never marshal it at it's
great installation. None but himself
knew how fearfully illness had ~~own
upon him or with what difficult pain
he had striven to conceal it's havoc.
Only he himself had had no illusions.
He knew tonight that the final de-
cision had lain between the cause and
his life itself. The one thing which
might have knit up his raveled health
the abandonment of this miasma-
vitiated hill air of Salona, of the ac-
tive campaign for passive trust to for
eign dictation-he had thrust from
him. And in so doing he had made
the last great choice.
.'Lion." he said-'Lioni" The
shepherd dog by the hearth raised his
head. His eyes glistened. His tail
beat the stone. He whined uneasily as
his master began to pace the floor, up
and down, his step uneven, forcing his
limbs to defy their dragging inertia.
AS the long night-watch knelled
wearily away. drop by drop Gordon
drank this last and bitter cup of re-
nunciation. Love and life he put be-
hind him. facing unshrinkingly the
grisly specter that looked at him from
the void.
He thought of Teresa singing to her
lonely harp in far-off fragrant Ital-
ian garden. His gaze turned to a
closet built into the corner of the
room. In it was manuscript-five

Gordon Goes Upon a Pilgrimage.
Easter afternoon and alb Missolon-
CHI was on the streets. But there
were no festivities. no firing OF guns
nor decorations. A pail had settled on
the town. a pail reflected in a sky dun
colored and brooding storm.
To-day had been fixed upon for the
march against Lepanto. but now war
was forgotten. The wheels of move
ment had stopped like those OF some
huge machine whose spring Of action
has lost its function Silent soldiers
patrolled the empty bazaar and the de-
serted docks. The crowds that thronged
the pavements-Suliotes. their wild
faces softened by grief unconcealed,
gloomy officers Of infantry and artil-
lery, weeping women and grave priests
of the Greek Church-conversed in low
tones. Even the arrival of a new ves-
sci in the harbor had gone unnoticed.
Observation centered on the stone
building fronting the shadows. from
whose guarded precincts from time TO
time an aide issued with news which
spread speedily through the despond-
ing pOpulace-the military headQuar-

suspense she had gained an unnatural
self-control UD TO the last moment
of possibility she had fought the dread
sense of the inevitable that was rising
to shut out her whole horizon of flu
ture; but before the ominous hush of
the multitudes hope had died within
her. She seemed to hear Mary Shelley
crying through the voice of that Pisan
storm: 20, am afrafd-afraid-

Yet. even in her despair, as she
threaded the press with the friar. she

COSTLIEST INTER IN LAND.
Bishop Horstmann Wears One that h
 Studded with Valuable Jewels.


 Studded with Valuable Jewels.
 The most costly miter in the United States, miter which represents $10,. 900 worth of jewels and precious stones, is worn by Bishop Horstmann, of the Cleveland diocese of the Roman Catholic Church. The bishop by vir. tue of his office is custodian of the miter, which is the property of the church.
 The extreme costliness of the jewell ed headdress is equaled by its artis- tic excellence and interesting history The gems which adorn the crown were the gift of Mrs. w. J. Gordon, wife of the late multimillionaire. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were close personal friends of the late Bishop Gilmour, Bishop Horstmann's predecessor, and during Mrs. Gordon's last illness she directed that her jewel box be given to the bishop and that it's contents be used for miter. Later Mir. Gordon added the jewels of his dead daughter to the collection, and when he was shown a water color of the miter as 1t would appear when finished he was so delighted that he agreed to bear the expense of making 1t.
 The emblem is so thickly incrusted with the gems that its fabric, white moire antique, is barely visible. The jewels are diamonds and seed pearls, amethysts, turquoises, topezes and garnets. The cruciform design is out. lined with pearl necklace and large diamond cross is placed in the cen. ter.
 The miter was first worn by Bishop Gilmour in 1888 and is exposed to the public view only three times during the year-at Christmas. Easter and pantaonst

AUSTRALIANS NEW CAPITAL.
Obscure Village of 300 People Selected
 Similar Instances Cited.

Obscure Village of 300 People Selected
 Similar Instances Cited.
 Dalgety, an obscure village of 300 people, has been definitely selected as the capital of the Australian common wealth, says the New York Mail The choice repeats the history of Washing ton. D. C., and of Ottawa, Canada. Australia and Canada are practically republics, and as such they distrust, as did the people of the thirteen orig inal American States, the metropolitan influence of commercial capital. Ei- ther New York or Philadelphia was out of the question for the American capital, nor would the North consent that it should be an existing town in Virginia or Maryland.
 When the idea of Federal district was hit upon the question arose where the district should be, New York State offered Kingston, and worked nobly to get the capital located on the Hudson. Maryland offered Annapolis, and New Jersey district below the falls of the Delaware. Delaware went with New Jersey and the Northern States, and "a place on the Delaware near the falls" was actually selected. This ac- tion was rescinded, however, and Il was decided that Congress should re- side for equal periods on the Delaware and near the falls" was actually se- lected. This action was rescinded, however, and it was decided that Con- gress should reside for equal periods on the Delaware and near the lower falls of the Potomac. Until buildings should be erected 1t was to meet al- ternately at Trenton and Annapolis.
 Then Virginia put in her oar very powerfully. and a Federal district which bestrode the Potomac, half in Virginia and half in Maryland, was eventually chosen-and Washington finally came into existence on that ground. The "compromise" between the North and the South which led to this selection was much like the com- promise between the Irishman and his wife regarding the house, in which he took the outside and she the inside; for Washington was and is Southern town.
 When the Dominion of Canada came to choose it's capital neither Montreal nor Toronto was practicable, for the great provinces of Quebec and Ontario were at daggers drawn. A compro- mise was reached in which squalid numbering village on the Ottawa, op- posite Hull, was chosen. It was in Ontario, but was centrally located and out of the range of provincial rival ries. A similar situation between the dominant States of Victoria and New South Wales, and Dalgety represents similar compromise. Like Ottawa, and unlike Washington, 1t is in hill district, where the climate is invigor- ating, and where legislators will have no meteorological excuse for being lazy.

HUMORs OF REPORTING.
Queer Errors Made in Proceedings of
 the British Parliament.


 The inability to hear distinctly in the reporters gallery in the House of Commons has been the source of many curious blunders in reporting the speeches of members of Parliament Not so very long ago, for instance, Sir William Harcourt in the course of a terrific onslaught on MT. Chamber lain, exclaimed: Great is Diana of the Ephesians" Next morning pro- vincial newspaper improved upon the quotation in this novel fashion: Great Dinah, what farce this isl"
 On number of occasions classical allusions to "Cato and Brutus" have been reported as "Cats and Brutes." The famous saying of Drummond, the Irish under secretary, Property has Its duties as well as its rights" has been given as Prosperity has its du- ties for which it fights"
 These blunders are by no means en- tirely due to the carelessness of the re- porter. Indeed, when one thinks of the number of stages through which the report of a Parliamentary speech has to pass from the time the words leave the lips of the speaker until they appear iii print in the morning paper, the wonder is that the report so often escapes without any distortion of meaning in the process.
 But even if the reporter has succeed ed in getting the words correctly in shorthand on his notebook, he may misread them in transcription, for the forms of shorthand are sometimes be- wildering, even to the writer, or he may transcribe them in a longhand so vile, or with such plenitude of contrac- tions, that the telegraph clerk cannot be blamed for confusing them in trans. mission. And even if the report has been plainly written, faulty signaling by careless telegraphists or mechanical or electrical defects in the wires will make a sad mess of it in sending 1t to newspapers in the provinces.
 A telegraph clerk in forwarding speech of Mir. Forster on education to daily paper in Bradford substituted the word "kid" in place of child" trusting that the alteration would be corrected by the operator at the other end of the wire. Imagine the right honorable gentlemans feelings next morning when he read: "You know of Wordsworth's profound saying: The kid is father to the man."
 "These are all friends, well-known friends" exclaimed Mir. Golden, after citing the names of many authorities in support of the views he was laying before the House. "They are all fiends, well-known fends," said the newspa- per for him. An Irish member, de- scribing one of the processions to the House, was represented as having said: "The people rent the air with ten thousand shouts. ."-London Tit Bits
