CHAPTER XVIII.
The SEQUEL of tho Comedy.

Mirrab. during that very brief drama in
which she herself had played <the chief
role. had vainly tried to collect her scat
tered Wits For the last few hours two
noble gentlemen. one Of whom wore gor-
geous purple robes. had been plying her
with wine and with promises that she
should see the Duke of WesSex II she
agreed to answer to the name OF Lady
Ursula" seeing that his grace never
spoke to any. one under the rank of q
lady.
A clever and simple trick, which readily
deceived this uneducated, half-craxed
wench. whose life had been spent in gypsy
booths and whose intellect had long been
quashed by the constant struggle for ex-
istence. which mostly consisted Of sense
less and fantastic exhibitions designed
for the delectation Of ignorant yokels.
She liked the idea Of being called my
lady" even when 1t was done in mockery.
and was delighted at the thought of ap-
pearing In this new guise before the Duke
Of Wessex. for whom she had entertained
a curious and passionate alteration ever
since the dramatic episode Of Molesey
fair. She liked still more the voluptuous
garments which she was hidden to don
and was ready enough to cOncede to the
young foreigner who thus embellished her
any favors which she chose to demand.
That had been her training, poor soul!
her calling In life: vulgar trickster by

The captain of the guard was the first
TO recollect his duty.

''Ah. yes! I had forgot said Wessex

Her voice broke into a sob Of agoniZed
entreaty and baffied desire

Miguel coldly.
She was now quite close to him. He.
still between her and the door which she
wished to reach. was half turned away
from her, in obvious fmpatience, and
looking at her over his shoulder with a
sheer and a cruel frown.
DO ye let me go!" she entreated once
more.
For sole answer he made pretense at
calling the guard.
What no there! The guard! What ho!''
But the last sound broke in a death
rattle. Even as he spoke Mirrab had
thrust the dagger with all her might be-
tween his shoulders. He fell forward on
the floor. while with one last gasp OF
agony he called upon the man whom he
had SO deeply wronged

HEARD IN PASSING.

l After eating green grapes ano | sandwiches a baseball player jumped out of a window in his sleep trying
 to catch an imaginary fly. He was not seriously injured and can think himself lucky that he did not die from an attack of indigestion.-NeW London Day.
 Messrs Taft and Bryan are having
 one of the most delightful conversa- tion parties imaginable. They are talking at long range, and it is hard telling which one rolls out Of bed first in the morning to get slap at
 the other as soon as the wire opens. v Bridgeport Post.
 Will it be case of history repeat ing itself? Do you recall how the nomination for governor went abeg- ging so many years ago in the repub- lican party and how that great prize was finally forced on the late Chief Justice Andrews of Litchfield? The republican machinists thought It wasn't a republican year and no one wanted the job of leading a forlorn hope. But Mir Andrews landed right side up with care and he had the laugh on his republican brothers.- New Haven Union.
 The cause of prohibitionists it not harmed by the attitude of the Con- necticut Catholic Total Abstinence union, which, in it's session at New Britain this week, passed resolutions in favor of editing text book on total abstinence and circulating the same among it's juvenile members; also, to educate the public on the evil effects of alcohol If this union can get the boys and girls thoroughly inn bued with the principles of total ab- stinence, 1t will have headed off a great deal of trouble-Ansonia Sem tinal.
 The contest which the democratic party is conducting in this campaign is a contest against monopoly in all its aspects, and under whatever name, in the interests of the people. On the other hand, the republican party cannot and will not conduct such a campaign, because it is too closely boSSd to monopoly to serve the pub lie interests. As the democracy is entirely free from this sinister influ- ence, it may. therefore, be fully trust ed to defend the rights of the people whenever and wherever assailed by the spoliatory trusts.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 The latest field for school instruc- tion for women is that of teaching "salesmanship." This work is now going on at a woman's institute in Boston. It is said to have produced good results and to have the CO., operation of five large department stores. The pupils are half time em- pIoyed in these stores and spend the rest of their time in a course of study outlined by women who have had ex- perience In selling and have also a good education and the knack of teaching.

MT Cleveland, in his posthumous message to the American people, ex pressed his belief that within short time the country will be divided be- tween two great parties, the socialist and the conservative. He looked to see men like MT Bryan leading the former, and the soberer wing of the democrats, in the east and south especially, united with the soberer republicans in defense of the present order of society. A writer in a New York paper says there have been too many political prophecies to lay much stress upon them, and that there is no promise of a socialist revolution in the growth of the so- cialist party. In this country, as in others, the number of people who are liable to be carried away by such delusive promises is defined by so- cial conditions, which set limit easily reached and practically un- passable. Diffusion of wealth and of the hope to attain wealth under ex- isting conditions is much too general for the socialists to attain the con sent of the majority, and obtain a vote to abolish both. And our politi- cal arrangements are so complex that even if the socialists were to elect a president and house of representa- tives, they could achieve nothing by their victory, unless they followed it up by a violent revolution. Beyond any other great country of the world we are committed to the maintenance of the system of industrial and per sonal liberty.

THE SPELLS OF ST ANDREWS.

Just as, according to the familiar saying, the shoemaker's wife often goes the worst shod, so it would ap- pear that in some of our university towns proficiency in the elementary art of spelling is not invariably ex- hibited in public notices. In that an- eient Scottish seat of learning and the Mecca of golf, St Andrews, the writer of this paragraph observed the other day a notice affixed to one of the churches intimating that services were held every ''Sabboth" at such and such hours; and on the historic links there is an excellently painted notice board which reads thus; 'The public are requested to keep of the grass" We had often heard of the spell of St Andrews, but scarcely ex- pected to find it in this particular form.
 Not only St Andrews itself but it's neighborhood has been somewhat un- fortunate in the orthography of in- seriptions. Three miles west of the gray city is Magus Muir, where Arch bishop Sharp was done to death by a band of covenanters in 1879. The late Dean Stanley, on one of his visits to St Andrews, suggested that the spot should be marked by a rough pyramid of stones-a suggestion which was duly carried out, and AT, inscription was written by Principa, Shairp, who. it is said, was rather sore over his word "saevis" being transformed by the stonecutter into "'salvis''-a mistake which stands to this ay.-westminster Gazette.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-09-19

The dispatches In the morning pa- pers say that there was conference of republican leaders in New York yesterday on the politican conditions in Connecticut and that all ex- pressed their satisfaction with the outlook so far as the national ticket is concerned. There was no refer ence made to the state ticket and speculation is rife as to whether the silence was due to the diplomacy of the national leaders present or whether the conditions are so unfa- vorable as to render a prediction safe at this time.-New Britain Herald.
 It wouldn't hardly do for republi- can to express his real opinion as to the outlook in Connecticut just at present. It would be so disappoint- ing to the machine that the person who made the prediction would be read out of the party. Democratic predictions are in order, however, and it seems to be pretty generally conceded that a man named Robert son will be the next governor of Con necticut.
