ana dashed Ills pleasure. He moodlly smoked his pipe until late, and the un- usual allowance of tobacco wrought further havoc upon his tired nerves. The natural result was dream in which he vividly saw Aida swathed in bandages, alternately calling to him and begging the attendants not to let him know her peril lest it interfere with the consummation of his plans
 It was clear that in her longing for him her spirit projected itself through space and that same self denial which had led her to keep back the news of her danger led her to give the old familiar greeting and farewell. Her spirit must be in the room.
 On the way to the office he tele- graphed her that he knew something must be wrong and that unless he re- ceived definite information at once he would leave on the next train.
 The answer was a dual one. In ad- dition to long telegram bis chum Ben Bradley put in an appearance. Brad ley fenced for awhile with small talk, but at last he came to the point.

 He could not tell even Bradley what he feared, but he was at last convinced that all was well with Aida, and he was content.
 Bradley turned up after office hours that evening and carried him of to dinner. "Atrs. Bradley is visiting friends in the country today" he ex- plained, "and I need company. I'll come around to your apartments after ward, and we'll have a good old time chat"
 Semple frightened visibly at the sug- gestion. and when at last they reached home he opened the door con f1dently. Ills face went ghastly white a7 AAo FtASt L1aNGA Vub upNA tlt AAAs He turned to see if Bradley had heard

Noted Jesuit Priest Dies.

New York, Oct. 4.-The Rev. Father Henry Van Rensselaer,, the Jesuit priest, died in St. vincents hospital. In 1887 he renounced the Episcopal faith, fin which he was reared. and was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic church in St. Patrick's cathe- dral in May of that year.

The first of the Van Rensselaers was Killaen. a patroon of Albany in pre-Revolutionary times. When he embraced Catholicity Father Van Rensselaer, turned his great for tune over to the church.

No ELECTION OF SENATORS.
Court of Appeals UphoIds Judge Fitts and Settles November Question.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 4.-There will be no election of state senators in this state this fall. The court of appeals handed down decision affirming the decisions of Judge Fitts of the supreme court in this district and of the appel late division, Third department, in ia. vor of Senator Owen Cassidy of Schuy- Ter county, whose case was made the test.
 The court sustains Judge Fitts' ac- ton in ordering the secretary of state to issue the election notices to county clerks without any reference to the senatorship question. The court in an opinion per curiam holds substantially that the original decision in the appor- tionment matter covers the question.

 'They won't" assured Semple. "One pint to each plant. I remember"
 "You're dearw she exclaimed. Its awfully good of you, Ned. to let me go when you won't even have a teeny vacation yourself. feel almost ashamed of myself leaving you all alone in the hot city"

 Better than that and not half the trouble" she declared.
 There's my train being called. It's q shame they will not let you pass the gate. Kiss ne again. dear, and do be careful of yourself"
 Ned Semple kissed her not once. but half a dozen times. He worshiped this dainty little woman who had lift cd him out of bachelordom and board ing houses and had made home a bit of paradise on earth. He hated to give her up for a whole six weeks. but be could not get away from town him self. and she needed the rest and change.
