What Caused the Hard Times.

The Lewiston Sun solemnly de-
clares that it was not the tariff but
currency that caused the hard times
Of 1893 The year 1898 was a pc.
riod of apprehension and consequent
depression among business men who
were not disposed to take chances
in the face Of the declared intentions
OF new Democratic administration
controlling both branches Of congress,
and outspoken in it's hostility to the
long established policy OF protection.
Panic conditions, however, and uni.
yersal hard times did not come until
the latter part OF 1894, following the
passage of the infamous free trade
Wilson bill, which closed our mills
and factories all over the land by put
ting them into competition with the
mills Of Europe operated by cheap
labor. These hard times continued,
getting worse and worse until after
the passage of the Dingley law, since
when the country has enjoyed an era

CHAPTER XXX.
The Curtain Falls.

Brorzed by months Of scouting on
those northern plains a graver, older
look upon his face, and the bars Of a
new cavalry jacket, Donald Brant
trotted down the stage road bordering
the Bear Water, his heart alternating
between hope and dread
The familiar yellow house at the
crossroads appeared so unattractive
as to suggest the thought that Nadia
must have been ineIpressibly lonely
during those months OF waiting He
knocked at the sun-warped door
Without delay it was flung open, and
a vision Of flushed face and snowy
drapery confronted him
Why Lieut.. Brant | was never
more surprised in my life Do, pray,

and I will have her sent for at once
Oh Howard, this is Lieut.. Brsnt. just

The lady again hustled in, her eyes
glowing with enthusiasm. Why, I
think it is perfectly delightful Don't
you, Howard? Now Lieut. Brant and
Nadia can stand up with us. You
will, won't you. Lieutenant"
That must be left entirely with
Nadia for decision" he replied, so
berly.
There was rustic at the inner
door, and Nadia stood there Their
eyes met, and the color mounted
swiftly to the girls cheeks. Then he
stepped resolutely forward, forgetful
Of all other presence, and clasped her
hand in both his own. Neither spoke

She bent her head, and with brief
word of explanation to the others, the
young officer conducted her forth into
the bright July sunshine. They walk

bank of the little stream. Brant glanc-
ed furtively toward the sweet, girlish
face. Then he spoke.
