CHAPTER XXI.-CoNTINUED.

The sonata Penelope was playing
was approaching it's finale, and Eli
nor was suddenly shaken with trem-
bling fit of fear--the fear of conse-
quences which might involve this
mans entire future. She knew Kent
was leaning on her, and she saw her
self as one who lad ruthlessly thrust
an iron bar among the wheels Of
delicate mechanism. Who was she to
be his conscien ce-keeper-to stand in
the way and bill him go back? Were
her own motives always so exalted?
Had she not once deliberately debated
this same question of eXpediency, to
the utter abasement of her own ideals?
Penelope had left the piano, and Lor-
ing was looking at his watch. Kent
saw them through the open window
and got upon his feet

Loring and Penelope were coming
out. and the end Of their privacy was
at hand.
What will YOU do" she asked.
81 don't know: :.otbing that l had

they parted.

Dramatist's Opinion.

An opinion from Bronson Howard,
the well-known dramatist: Like al
most everyone else who has seen 40
years of theatrical life, l think the
stage just now is overburdened with
scenery and swamped with extravagant
clothes. This condition cannot be
kept up much longer. The managers
cannot stand it. 1t is too expensive
and the rivalry between them, each
trying to Guido the other, must bring
about a reaction that will do away
with the whole scheme"

PARIS FEARS DATE
STREET DEMONSTRATIONS ARE
BARRED ON MAY /.
ORDERED TROOPS TO THE CITY.
In Addition to the Troops Eight
squadrons of Cavalry Relieved
From Duty in the Mining Region,
Have Been Brought to Paris.

Paris, April go = The ministerial
council decided to forbid professions
and street demonstrations on May l.
| M. BRAND, socialist, minister of pub
lie instruction and worship, delivered
at Saint diamond, a department of
the Laire, notable address counsel
ing against any violence or anarchi-
cal movement, and in favor of peace
able trades unionism, through which,
he said, workmen could effect an
amelioration of their condition The
minister also spoke against the anti
military spirit peryading the work
men, and contended that the socialis-
tic ideal did not reject patriotic de-
tense of the country in the event of
aggression.
The project of police, NJ. Lepine
made reassuring reply to hundreds
of letters which anxious citizens had
addressed to the police. He said that
all precautions had been taken to
maintain order in the streets May
and prevent attempts against life or
property. Besides the full police
force which will be on duty reinforce
ments consisting of $4,000 infantry,
cavalry and artillery will arrive here.
These troops will be disposed
throughout the city with precise or
ders. Special surveillance will be
maintained over the water and gas
conduits.
In addition to the troops mentioned,
eight squadrons of cavalry relieved
from duty in the mining regions have
been brought to Paris and dragons
and hussars are coming from many
other points.
In strike circles the men are much
calmer. There has been no renew
| al of the disorders and the return of
the Northern iron workers to their
factories indicates a partial breakup
of the movement in the mining re-
gions.
The workmen in numerous addition
al trades have announced their adj
hesion to the eight hour movement,
but the railroad men and employees of
the provision trades do not intend to
strike. The announcement that the
big department stores will remain
open as usual served to reassure the
public. The government has received
the most positive assurance that the
labor leaders do not intend to per-
nit any disorder May 1. Accordingly
the governments view is that there
is not the slightest danger of serious
trouble.
The officials of the American en-
bassy and consulate take a similar
view. Many Americans have been
making inquiries as to the desirable
ity of leaving Paris, and the answer
given was that there is not the slight
est danger.
The trouble in the department of
the Nord is considered to be over.
The miners strike, however, con-
tinues in the department of the Pas
de-Calais, where the troops have ar
rested seventeen of the ringleaders in
the recent disturbances.

we pledge our candidates for railroad

may be warranted by existing condi-

plain the attitude of Democracy to-
