CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.)
Arthur drew back In astonishment a
the sight Of her flashing eyes, her culver
Ing lips. But In an instant the moo
passed away, the eyes melted again int
themselves into smiles.
What will you think OF me for sucl
words as those?" she cried. when yc'
know thoroughly the strange, capriciou
creature | am, never in the same moot
for two hours together, you will cease t
Aove me-"
Perhaps 1t will make me love you tn
more" he said, smilingly. And is you
hatred, your dread of poverty SO very in
'surmountable? Suppose that l were evei
to become poor; would you cease to lov'
met"
You ever become poor !" she echoed
opening her eyes very wid0; you, who
have great estate, and who will one day
be Sir Arthur? How can you ever b.
poor?"
Such things have BEEN" he said, smil-
ing Great lords have been reduced to
beggary, much less simple sirs"
Why do you wish to torture me by
such thoughtsY' she cried, petulantly.
Have I not told you that the name OF
poverty makes me shudder?" Z
There was cloud of sadness upon his
face, but the shadows of night were too
deep for her to perceive 1t.
Arthur was greatly astonished at this
sudden outburst, but he attached no
weight to it, imputing 1t to morbid petu-
lance. So he spoke to her soothing words,
and caressed her out of her sullen humor,
and she began to repent of having spok-
en- so freely.
you must not notice my foolish
words" she said ''at times, | do not
know what l say, and to hear me talk,
you would fancy that 1 was perfect
monster but promise that you will never
heed such humors."
Hours after Arthur had departed and
after all else in the house was asleep, she
sat in the solitude of her own chamber,
her hair hanging loosely about her shout
ders, prey to conflicting emotions.
What could possess me to speak such
words?" she murmured. in less gen
erous man l might have aroused suspi-
cions that l should never again be able
to set at rest. But he is too noble, too
frank, to suspect where he loves. | would
that / were more worthy of him." she
went on. with a sigh; she Is the very
soul of honor-so different from all other
men that have met. wish he did not
love me half so we'll, or that I did not
love him at all. l spoke truly when
told him that l never knew I had a
heart until he crossed my path. What
made him harp so strangely upon pow
.erty tonight? Surely there is nothing
wrong; things do go wrong, even with
dukes occasionally-as he himself said
and great people are sometimes even sold
up like little ones. l shall pay Mr.. Wy
lie a visit in the morning and question
him about Arthur's affairs"

not have TO pay assessments on $1,000

the operations of this board viii in

IN all counties, making the income
from taxation greater.
The Philadelphia method of raising

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 9-Presi-
dent Gompers, of the American Fer
GRAFTON of Labor, left here today for
New York to confer with President
Small, of the Commercial Telegraph
ers' Union of America, concerning
proposition for the settlement of the
strike.
Officials of the Telegraphers' union
here today sent President Small the
following telegram:
Samuel Gompers requests you to
meet him at the Pennsylvania station
in New York City at $3.50 this even
ing, and bring Organizer Herman
Robinson with you. Mr.. Gompers will
have a proposition to make to you
and we urge you to give II the most
serious consideration, and If possible
bring the strike to an honorable ter
mination."
Mr.. Gompers carries is not generally
known.
The settlement of the telegraph
ers' strike is near at hand" This
significant announcement was made
this afternoon by w. w. Beattie, inter-
national vice president of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union, who said
that from secret information in his
possession there is every reason to
hope for the ending of the strike very
soon.
From an equally reliable source the
information was obtained that Labor
Commissioners Neill is in New York
in close conference with President S.
j. Small, of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers, and President II. b. Perham,
of the Order of Railroad Telegraph
ers, with the view of bringing about

Nav can ont Leased Wire Men.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-A meeting VIII
be held tonight by the members of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
to consider calling out the operators
now employed in the brokers' and
newspaper offices of this city, and the
men working on leased wires. Yester-
day a petition was circulated among
the members of the organizations de-
manding that the officers call out
these men regardless of existing con-
tracts or agreements signed since the
commencement of the strike.
The petition says in effect that the
signers deem II necessary that every
member of the union be called upon
to cease work Immediately, notwith-
standing any contract that has been
signed, believing that the contract
made which compels one brother to
work to the disadvantage of another
Is better broken than kept.
The program to be followed will be
settled at the meeting tonight.
