Everything shall be done you wish, dear
madam, he replied humbly; then he departed to
his room and frantically tore his hair finding
little consolation in the fact that no one was to

All languor had left Madam Sombra She sprang
to her feet with the gladstone grace of a girl and
rushed into her sitting-room, sweeping the maya
zines from the table to the floor and drawing toward
her some note-paper Then she wrote:

tation. Pray consider the church debt obiterated

German when he had finished the perusal. Madam,
you will carry out such piece of folly There

love-song The audience did not know what to
make of it at first, but when the famous tenor came
to the grand finale, leaned forward, rolled his eyes
upward and shudderingly clinched his open palms
against his manly breast his hearers came to the con-
clusion that this a comic effort, and the final
wall of broken-hearted despair was lost in cyclone
of laughter
The tenor retired behind the scenes in teeth
crashing rage, and swore fearful Neapolitan oaths
that he would not appear before such brigands
again, and neither did he thus throwing the pro-
gram somewhat into confusion. The innocent
crowd, unconscious of what it had done, meanwhile
stamped and shouted for his temperance. They
had never anything just like this before, and
they evidently wished him to come back and do it
again. Herr Schwartz himself was too angry and
Madam Sombra too much depressed, to any
humor in the situation while the Italian ragged with
furious gestures like a mailman, and Fraulein
Vogel sat silent and frightened.
Madam Sombra appeared for the second time.
There smile her face, and she seemed
to dread the ordeal before her. She began the
butterfly opening of the 'Lyrsche Stucke, OPP. a."

sur1y bulldog Here with German thoroughness
and that attention to detail for which he noted,
Herr Schwartz and his secretary attended to the
mass of correspondence that poured in, and as the
expert secretary could write Madam Sombra's sig
nature well the pen of that distinguished
woman there to-day scattered throughout the
land many cherished autographs of the great artistic
which she herself has never seen.
Meanwhile Madam Sombra sat p1acdly in rock
ng-char on the veranda, reading little, thinking
a great 1eal, and above all resting Herr Schwartz
rigdly kept from her all the tempting offers of the
milliona-es; all the beseechments of cities that had
been missed during the tour; and he cursed himself
bitterly ever after that he brought in to her
morning a request absurd that he thought its
mere reading nigh amuse her. When populous
cities had been given the go-by when Mrs. Million
aires offer of twenty thousand dollars for single
afternoon had been refused, how could this hard
headed business man suppose that an entreaty
from northern village he could not find
the map would be listened to? So he came out on
the veranda with the letter in his hand aughing-to
laugh on the wrong side of his mouth twenty min
utes later
Madam" he cried the cheek of this people
passes all comprehension Here is place
ever heard of, that has church debt of thousand
dollars, and actually expects you to go and play
there, that the congregation may be relieved of its
obligations. Of course get thousands of begging
letters, but this one is written by clergyman, who
ought to know better"
Madam Sombra looked up and smiled at him
rather wanly but without much interest. She
said: A country clergyman doubtless looks upon
his church debt as something important and onerous,
and it may seem to him slight thing that when |
have nothing to do l should go there and play
few pieces the piano. But please, Herr Schwartz,
write him kind and courteous letter in reply. Tell
him that l almost invalid at this present
ment and must recover my strength before l face

Schwartz and inc1ose dollars toward the church

Ten dollars, madam" cried Herr Schwartz in
CONSERVATION, now sorry he had spoken. "Why,

Before she had finished the woman
knew, with the sensitive intuition of
an artistic, that her audience was be-
wildered rather than delighted Was

this, she almost neard them
say to themselves, was this
the sort of thing that kings
and emperors showered ia
vors for? If there was any
method or meaning in the
performance, it had eluded
them. Madam Sombra rose
from the piano with a sink
ing sense of failure. The
Grand Army, like the claque
in the center of the Paris
Opera House, applauded
riotously, but the rest held
back and expressed their
feelings with gingerly per-
functorineSs.

during the autumn sheltered the exhibition cattle
Not only was the huge hall packed to its utmost
capacity but hundreds who could not gain adrnis-
sion were grouped patiently round tie building to
hear whatever of melody through the open
windows, though they might not get sight of
the performers.
1--WE have long passed the thousand dollar mark"
said the Rev. Mr.. Goodrich to his guest and really
don't know at this moment how wealthy we are
until the counting is finished" and Madam Sombra
all excitement laughed joyousy that this should
be so. In spite of the church, the town had
changed little from her remembrance of it. and she
entered upon this concert with greater JOY than
she had felt in approaching audience before.
The clergyman said few words at the beginning,
dwelling the great pride they all felt in who,
leaving this small town, had Justly challenged the
attention of the world through her genius. He
spoke of her generosity in coming thus before them
when many more important places had clamored
in vain. When he sat down, Fraulein Vogel ap-
peared, followed by the long haired man who to
play her accompaniment. There rather
applause than the frauein had evidently expected,
and the clergyman smiled for he knew that many
of the audience, unaccustomed to programs, had
made the mistake of supposing this to be the
star of the evening. The fraulein sang sweetly
song in German, then retired, and Herr Schwartz
himself came forward, leading Madam Sombra by
the hand and the roar of welcome echoed the roof
as the happy woman bowed and smiled before them.
Her eyes rested lovingly for than moment

TAINTED MONEY.

The Democrats of Wisconsin, in their
platform just adopted, remind the country
thatthe Republican National Committee has
not made restitution of the large sums re.
ceived from the Lille Insurance corporations
filched from the funds that should have been
sacred TO the widows and orphans Of policy
holders. The plank adopted condemns the
Republican party for the acceptance o: the
policy holders money and demands that the
same be restored. Now that President
Roosevelt has five months holiday before
him, there can be no excuse, for lack OF time,
for not taking up the matter with Chairman
Cortelyou and ordering that restitution OF
these tainted funds be made TO their right

The Pennsylvania railroad officials have

justice, or will the favored mine owners still

question that the Democrats demand be set

abolition of the combination between the
