Distinction in rank in Swedish Off

the members of the second chamber of
the Swedish riksdag, which recently
passed a resolution requesting the
crown to abolish the system outside
the royal court, where there might be
occasion for some system of prece-
dence. If this is not. possible, his maj
esty Isl requested to separate the court
rank from the official. This resolution
was passed by a vote of 140 to SIS. The
negative votes were~not opposed to- the
adjustment of class, distinctions, but
voted against the alternative proposi-

abandoning official ranks.

malism of official society. An elaborate
system Of order Of precedence prevails,
which causes much bitterness and an

or legitimate purpose.
The rillsdag has been very active of
late, and has taken up number of re-
form propositions. The first chamber
has passed a law relieving parish
priests of the duty Of keeping the civil
register, and has approved the law
passed by the second chamber provid-

The two chambers, however, are I'M

The second chamber, by vote Of
131 to 68, rejected Mr.. Bengston's bill
requesting the government to estab-

Namampa, the Hero Doctor.
While Medworth and Tempest were
exerting themselves to save General
SaiVarez and his family, and were con-

While the exciting scenes attendant
sGpon the escape of Salvarez were being
enacted, it might well be wondered
chat neither Philip nor Gomez should

wNhere near to prevent the successful
issue of Medworth's plot
Don Juan, who, Notwithstanding hts
,9yaulting ambition, sternness and pride,
'Geasly loved his daughter, was torn
with anguish and bitterly condemned
himself for bringing her against her
will to place that now threatened to

NEARLY the same anxiety was shown
by Philip, and he did not conceal it..
Gomez, felt, in his own way, great
anxiety, but he skillfully concealed the
true state of his feelings and appeared

THE WANDERER,

At drowsy dawn 1 left the gate-so very
long ago,
Whether that home be memory or dream,
1 hardly know.
The cloud-hung visions of the morn were
far more real then
Than now are thronging city streets and
cries of eager men.
The hours ere yet the sun was high were
like eternities,
But now how swift the shadows run, how
near the darkness Isl
All. well! IT'S aye the happiest day
come swift to evensong;
With merrier comrades never yet did pill
grim pass along.
The paths that widest seem to part, still
winding, turn and meet;
Perchance they do but homeward lead
again our wandering feet.
Familiar faces vanish. but the voices vi
brate STILL
And nothing now seems far away, at the
ending of the hill
To one warm hand alone 1 cling, as fast
the night grows late,
And crave that we may come at last to-
gether to the gate.

WAS CURED OF HIS MANIA.
Curious Individual Receives Simple

A traveller with mania for answer

He learned that by sending five shil-
lings he could get cure for drunken
ness. And he did. 1t was ''to take
the pledge and keep it."
Then he sent a shilling to find out
how to raise turnips successfully. He
found out. Just take hold of the tops

Next he sent for II useful household
articles, and got paper of needles.
He was slow to learn, so he sent a
shilling to find out "how to get rich.''
Work hard and never spend a far
thing" That stopped him.
But his brother wrote to find out
how to write without pen and ink
He was told to use lead pencil.
He paid five shillings to find out how

a thing to do which kept him from
dwelling overmuch upon the wreck
of his hopes. But in the closing days
of the session, when a despatchful as
sembly, anxious to be quit of it's task,
had gone into night sittings, the ano-
dyne drug Of work began to lose its
effect.
The Brentwoods had taken furnished
apartments in TETON avenue, two
squares from the capitol, and Kent
had called no oftener than good breed
ing prescribed. Yet their accessibility,
and his unconQuerable desire to scar
his wound in the flame that caused it,,
were constant temptations, and he
was battling with them for the hun
dredth time on the Friday night when
he sat in the house gallery listening
TO perfunctory debate which con-
cerned itself with a bill touching state
waterways.
Heavens! This thing is getting to
be little short of Deadly" fumed
Crenshawe, his right-hand neighbor,
who was also a member of the corps

for game of pool. Won't you come
along?"
Kent nodded and left his seat with
the bored one. But in the great ro-
tunda he changed his mind.
You'll find plenty of better players
than am at the club" he said in ex-
tenuation. 81 think I'll smoke Whit
or two here and go back. They can't
hold on much longer for tonight"
Five minutes later, when he had
lighted a cigar and was glancing over
the evening paper, two other members
of the corporation committee of safety
came down from the senate gallery
and stopped opposite Kents pillar to
struggle into their overcoats.
It's precisely as l wrote our people

and simple" one of them was saying.

rejoinder. THE committee is ours,
and the bill will not be heard of again
at this session. If that is all you are
holding on for
They passed out of earshot, and
Kent folded his newspaper absently.
House Bill Twenty-Five had been
the one measure touching the sensi-
tive vested interests; the one meas
ure for the suppression of which the
corporations lobby had felt called on
to take steps. 1t was an omnibus bill
put forth as substitute for the ex-
listing law defining the status of for
elgn corporations. 1t had originated
in the governors office-a fact which
Kent had ferreted out within "a hours
of its first reading-and for that rea-
son he had procured printed copy,
searching it diligently for the hidden
menace he was sure it embodied.
When the search proved fruitless.
he had seen the bill pass the house
by safe majority, had followed it to
the senate, and in cunningly worded
amendment tackled on in the upper
house had found what he was seeking.
Under the existing law foreign corpor-
atoms were subject to state super
vision, and were dealt with as pre-
sumably unfriendly aliens. But the
senate amendment to House Bill
Twenty-Five fairly swept the inter-
state corporations, as such, out of ex-
istence, by making it obligatory upon
thnn1 n he cfo
corporations. Charters were to be re-
filed with the secretary of state; resi-
dent directories and operating head
quarters were to be established with
in the boundaries of the state; in
short, the state proposed, by the
terms of the new law, to deal only with
creatures of its own creation.
Kent saw, or thought he saw, the
fine hand of the iunto in all this. 1t
was still hunt in which the long
est way around was the shortest way
home. Like all new-country codes, the
organic law of the state favored local
corporations, and it might be urged
that bill placing the foreign compa-
MES on purely local footing was an
unmixed blessing to the aliens. But
on the other hand, an unprincipled ex-
ecutive might easily make the new
law an engine of extortion. To go no
further into the matter than the re-
quired refling of charters: the state
constitution gave the secretary of state
quasi-judicial powers. 1t was within
his province to pass upon the applica-
tons for chartered rights, and to deny
them If the question pro bono publico
were involved.
Kent put two and two together, saw
the wide door of exactions which
might be opened. and passed the word
of warning among his associates;
after which he had watched the course

nine with interest sharp-set. planning

another of Penelope Inducing an up
country legislator into the mysteries
of social small-talk, he breathed freer.
His haphazard guess had hit the
mark, and the finding of Ormsby was
now only question of moments.
1t was Miss Van Brock, herself, who
told him where to look for the club
man-though not at his first asking.
Loring had told him Miss Van
Brooks story. She was southern born,
the only child of a somewhat ill-con-
sidered match between a young Cali
fornia lawyer, wire-pulling in the ma
tional capital in the interest of the
Central Pacific railroad, and a Vir-
ginia belle tasting the delights of her
first winter in Washington.
Later, the young lawyers state, or
his employers, had sent him to con-
gress; and Portia, left motherless in
her middle childhood, had grown up in
an atmosphere of statecraft, or what
passes for such, in an era of frank
commercialism. Inheriting her moth
ers rare beauty of face and form, and
in grasp of detail, political and other,
she soon became her fathers conf
dante and loyal partisan, taking the
place, as a daughter might, of the
ambitious young wife and mother,
who had set her heart >on seeing the
Van Brock name on the roll of the
United States senate.
Rensselaer, Van Brock had died be-
fore the senatorial dream could be re-
allied, but not before he had made a
sufficient number of lucky. investments
to leave his daughter the arbitress of
her own future. What that future
should be, not even Loring could
guess. Since her fathers death Miss
Van Brock had been a citizen of the
world. With widowed aunt for the
shadowiest of chaperons, she had drift
ed with the tide of inclination, coming
finally to rest in the western capital
for no better reason, perhaps, than that
some portion of her Understanding
securities were emblazoned with the
great seal of this particular western
state.
Kent was thinking of Loring's re-
countal as he stood looking down on
her. Other women were younger
and with features more conventionally
beautiful; Kent could find round
dozen within easy eye-reach, to say
nothing of the calm-eyed, queenly i'm
provisatrice at the piano-his constant
standard of all womanly charm and
grace. Unconsciously he fell to COM
pairing the two, his hostess and his
love, and was brought back to things
present by sharp reminder from
Portia.
