conduct me to the entrance OF my
chambers" (here she reached him
her hand) 81 like you," she said
frankly, looking at him with unfiinch-
ing eyes 81 am. of the house OF
CORTLAND, and we are accustomed to
say what we think-the women es-
pecially. And before I carry out this
wretched contract and marry the
Prince Wasp, will run away and wed
dog-whipper!" But perhaps I may
do better than either!" she said in
her heart, nodding determinedly, as
she looked at the handsome youth be-
fore her. who now stood with his
| downcast eyes upon the ground.
They were almost out of the yew-
tree walk, and the voice Of the prin-
cess carried far, like that Of most very
| impulsive persons. 1t reached the
ears of a gay young fashionable, VINO
had just dismounted at the gate
which led from the rose garden into
the wing of the palace Inhabited by
the Princess Margaret and her suite.
"Now," said the princess, Il will
show you how apt pupil | make. Tell
me whether this is according to the
best traditions of Plassenburg! And
taking his face between her hands,
| she kissed him rapidly upon elther
| cheek and then upon the lips.
"There!" she said, 81 wonder what
my noble brothers would say to that!
I will show them that Margaret OF
CORTLAND can choose both whom she
will kiss and whom she will marry!"
And flashing away from him like
strong-winged bird she fed upward
into her chambers. Then, somewhat
dazed by the rapid succession of emo
tons, Johann the secretary stepped
out of the green gloom of the yew
tree walk into the broad glare of the
September sun and found himself
face to face with Prince Wasp.

Inc Prince left his desk for the
first time and came smiling towards
his sister. The impulsive Princess
Margaret threw her arms warmly
around her brothers neck, and then,
as quickly releasing him, turned to
the secretary, who stood deferentially
looking out Of the window, that he
might not observe the meeting of
brother and sister.
"This young man knows the Ouch
ess Joan of Hohenstein," said the
Prince, still smiling quietly; "but
l do not think he admires her very
greatly-an opinion he had better
keep to himself if he would have a
quiet life of it in CORTLAND"
ooh, cried the Princess, laughing
outright. There is no reason in the
world why, because you are ready to
fall down and worship, this young
man or any other should be compelled
| to do likewise"
And right princess-like she looked
as she pouted her proud little lips and
with her foot patted the polished oak.
But" she went on again to her
brother. eff you have done with this
noble youth, have fancy to hear
! him tell of the countries wherein he
has sojourned And, in addition,
have promised to- show him the carl
in the ponds. You have, it seems tt
me, spent half the day in each others
society"
The tolerant prince laughed. HI
was evidently accustomed to his sis
ter's whims, and knowing how perfect
ly harmless they were, he never in
terfered with them.
"a good day to you" he said to tn
young man, by way Of dismissal. Il

And these were the words the sec

who stood at the gate of the rose gar
den, as they, too, stood looking pen
sively after the prince.
Wait" said Johann Pyrmont to
himself; wait, will yet show them
whether he is thrown away or not"
The rose garden of the summer
palace of CORTLAND was paradise
made for lovers whisperings. Its
bowers were creeper-tangled. Trees
met over paths bedded with fallen
petals, a shade in sunshine, shelter
in rain, delightful in both.
. 1t was natural that so fair a prin-
cess, taking such a sudden fancy to a
young man, should find her way
where the shade was deepest and the
labyrinth most entangled.
"Do you know" she began, that.

1t was with an effort that the sec

The letter was written 10 Gov John

says:

MR.. BRYAN ON FINANCE.
Warns the Democratic Party Against
an Asset Currency.
From the Commoner.

rum tlle ioulInoncr.
The Democrats should be on their
guard and resist this coDc,rted demand
for an asset currency. II would simply
Increase Wall streets control over the
nations finances, and that control Is
tyrannicai enough now. Such elasticity
as Is necessary should be controlled by
the government and not by the banks.
The government could furnish a certain
amount OF elasticity by increasing and
decreasing government deposits according
to the needs OF business; or ii could
provide for the temporary issue OF Treas
ury notes on government bonds when
ever a holder OF bonds Is willing to sur
render the interest; or IL could issue
Treasury notes In any emergency. But
none Of these plans will suit the fnan-
ciers; they insist upon absolute control
OF the nations fnances-they 20 reap the
advantage while the public bears the
burden and takes the chances.
But the Democrats in the Senate and
House are in duty bound TO look at the
question from the standpoint OF the peo-
pie. and oppose the asset currency In
whatever form II may appear. They
may also have 70 oppose the great cen
trail bank. which Is a part Of a scheme
OF the financiers. And they Will find
that the same influences which are be-
hind the asset currency and the central
bank are behind the Presidents plan
for national Incorporation Of railroads
They are all a part OF pIutocracy's plan
TO Increase its hold upon the govern
ment
What we need just now is not an emer-
geney currency. but greater security for

NEW COINS CRITICISED.
UnrecOgnizabIe az the Work of Au-
gustus Saint GaudenS.


From the New York Sun.
We have received one OF the new gold
coins which are now being celebrated in
connection with the suppression Of the
familiar legend in God We trust" Hay
ing regard 90 the artistic quality Of the
design. the piece is distressing. Know
ing the work OF the lamented Saint
Gaudens as intimately as we do. we are
imDelled 10 the conclusion that he must
have executed il under the most unfav-
able and forbidding circumstances. 1t
is wholly unworthy Of him, and. indeed
wholly unlike him. Saint Gaudens in
his treatment of inscriptions was ALWAYS
most distinguished: his lines Of text were
characterized by a decorative signifI-
canoe that was full Of charm. whereas in
the new coin the lettering is as coarse
and repellent as its disposition is unfor-
tunate
The head Of Liberty is utterly fat and
unrelieved; II has no quality Of anything.
IL is pitched In its plane without the least
sense Of composition and is superposed
upon a date of egregious disproportion
and style The reverse Is wholly dis
couraging Saint Gaudens was more
Greek in his sympathy and inspiration
than any other artist OF the nieteenth
century and how he should have executed
such modern barbarism as this eagle
Is beyond our comprehension. We know
what the difficulties are in conforming
to the physical requirements Of modern
coinage. but the die slnkers art is not
memorable. We reject the coin dehni-
lively we refuse to accept II as the work
OF Augustus Saint Gaudens

SOUTHERN MAN IDEA.
Organized Effort for Nomination
Needed to Accomplish Results.

tiom the Savannah News
There are reasons for thinking that the
nomination OF a Southern man would be
popular at the North. He would. of
course. carry every one OF the Southern
States. and would stand a better chance
of carrying more Northern States than
any Northern Democrat There are in IA.
North vast number Of voters who would
like TO see a conservative man President
The Southerners who have been named
in connection with the nomination are
known to be conservative, although they
could be depended upon to enforce the
laws strictly, The laws would be en-
forced. however. in a way that wouldn't
alarm the country and upset business.
The South mas a record for the highest
order Of craftsmanship. and the time has
come when the North would welcome an
opportunity 10 show that no sectional
feeling now exists. Unless. however.
decided effort Is made 10 unite the South
upon some one OF the Southern men
fitted for the high Office Of President the
movement started at Nashville Will come
70 nothing. There must be organized ef-
fort to accomplish anything. and at pres
ent the signs OF such effort are lacking.
