 If stephen had suffered the red terror before. she suffered the white terror now It was not injured pride It was not humiliation. 1t was not fear it wae something vague and terrtble that les far deeper than any of these. some thing which held in its misty onSiine the whole formidable future w'n " myriad means of larm. under .ordi- nary circumstances she would haVe liked to have spoken out her mind ano given back as good as she got; and even as the thoughts whirled through her brain they came in torrent of vague vituperative eloquence. But now her tongue was tied Instinctively she had but 1t out of her power to revenge. or even to defend herself. She was tied to the stake, and must suffer with out effort and in silence.
 Most humiliating of all was the thought that she must >propitiate the man who had so wounded her. All love for him-had there indeed been any-had in the instant passed away
 
 the blank, bare truth that she hao never really loved him at all. Had she really loved him, even blow at ms hands would have been acceptable; put now....!
 She shook the feelings and thoughts from her as a bird does the water from it's wings; and, with the courage and strength and adaptability of her nature addressed herself to the hard task which faced her in the immediate present. With eloquent. womaniy gesture she arrested the torrent or Leonard's indignation: as he paused in surprised obedience, she said:
 @That will do, Leonardo It is not necessary to say any more; and am sure you will see. later on. that at least there was no cause for your indigna- ton! I have done an unconventional thing, I know: and dare say I shall have to pay for it in humiliating bit- ferness of thought later on! But pieace remember we are all alone! This is a secret between us; no one else need ever know or suspect it!'
 She rose up as she concluded. The quiet dignity of her speech and bearing brought back Leonard in some way to his sense of duty as a gentleman. He began, in @ sheepish way, to make an apology:
 I'm sure I beg your pardon. Ste phen. But again sne neid up the warning hand:

 As she moved away. her dismissal Of the subject was that of an empress to a serf. Leonard would have liked. to answer her; to have given vent to his that, even when he had refused her offer she should have the power to treat him as if he was the one refused and to make him feel small and ridiculous in his own eyes. But somehow he felt constrained to silence her simple dignity outclassed him.

promise, and her dupiicity after seces- sion deceiving our Confederate com missioners-all this is brought out in the book with a power and force that deeply interests and entertains.
 The author regards Mir. Steph ems corner stone" speech in Savannah March 21, 1881, as profound mistake. This speech has always been mys- tery. Mir. Stephens forte was the. role of a diplomat. But Taileyrand would never have made this blunder. Henry Ward Reecher took that. speech and stumped England with 1t. As a boy I remember well how our people dep- recated 1t. As MT. Pendleton remarks,
 this was no time for exaiting slavery, but time for impressing upon foreign countries our wrongs, the North's vio- iation of her constitutional obligations and her injustice to the Southern States F- = ,s'
 The author, speaking of slavery. tells how the early '"fathers'-men like Washington. Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Madison, Clay and the Randolphs, op- posed it. and shows that later anti slavery societies had organized in the South for the gradual emancipation of slaves. but these disappeared by req son of the exceeding aggressive ac- tivities of the Northern abolftfonists, WhASu WCtO SCc0hlCu OS tal0 COub4 ao interference. feA s4
 The south opposed the slave trade and forbade 1t; and one reason why men like Calhoun wanted a portion of the territories open to the South was for outlet. Many saw into the future, and dreaded what might happen. They opposed the slave trade, any iTnporta- tions of slaves Yet they demanded an opening into portion of the territo- ries for distribution of the negroes, so as to prevent congestion in case of emergencies that might arise in the future and thus minimize the evils of the physical presence of the negro. Er," it in time the negro should be fire, would still . here. The South dreaded a race problem. Hence as the author says. they dreaded to let go the wolf" This opening of territo- ries in part would have distributed the negro. for whose presence here the North was more to blame than the South.

CONVERSION or MARIE.
Duchess Takes Up Greek Orthoao
 Religion -F

Religion. -fss
 St. Petersburg. May 16.-The Czar has issued a manifesto announcing the conversion to the Creek orthodox re- hgton of the Grand Duchess Marie, wife of Grand Duke Vladimir.
 For thirty years the Grand Duchess resolutely refused to join the Russian ofilcial religion, and her consent has only been given for high reasons of state. If the present infant heir. and the Czar's unmarried brother, Grand Duke Michael. should both die without sons, the succession to the throne would pass to the Grand Duke Vladi- mir and his children, but the sons, be- ing the offspring of a non-orthodox mother, would be prevented by the im- perial family laws from ascending tn e throne.
 The conversion of Grand Duchess Marie removes this obstacle.

 -s8e@, ny . Aftermath
 As stephen went down the hill her pace was medium, neither hurrsd nor Slow; her pride made either extreme Impossible to, her. Leonard walked vith her. she not resenting but seeming to treat him with the same old q camaraderie to which he, was accustomed. How she did it, she never knew. She was, so braceds up to the situation that things seemed natural to her to do which, had she thought and attempted them consciously. would have seemed hideous. Her heart seemed to sink within her at every footstep she took. and her kness to give way; but by some divine, des- each thought. But her will itself seemed to have lost its primitive strength, and to be set in tenacity rather than command. Yet. the habit of life was able to assert itself; her outward bearing gave no sign of the tortured soul within.
 At first they went side by side But as the undergrowth came closer in their branches and foliage, one or other had now and again to go first; and that one was always stephen. When she knew that her face could not betray her, her h cart began to beat less wildly. As to Leonard there was over him vague feeling of chagfn, of disappointment, of inferiority. The position of the dog which follows "to heel' is hardly one of exceptional honour: he was not i'll satisfied when the path bifurcated. affording him an opportunity of turning towards his own home. Even through the egoism of his magnificent selfishness was borne a sense that he was not wanted. And with that sense came another, less conscious but worthy of remem- brance for later use, that the same force which moved him to that sense was not altogether to his ultimate disadvantage. Tn purely selfish nature there is distinct sub -conscI- ousness ever on the watch for ultimate gain.
 Stephen, who seemed to have eyes Tn tno Dack or ner neAQ-au over her. became aware of his purpose of parting from her; and the sense of it gave her calm and more strength of self control. In the flush Of 1t came back some of her courage. She was able to stand for a few minutes at the parting of the ways talking to her compainion with an easy nonchalance which, when he came to think over matters on his way home and after wards, filled him with an uneasy con- cern. momentary exultation thrilled her. This, coming after her anguish of spirit so far served as a nervous stimulant that Leonard, on shaking hands with her as he said goodbye and noting the natural flush on her cheeks and the brilliant light in her eyes. had a sudden impulse to take her in his arms and make love to her. The impulse was. however, only mom- entary. There was something in her air or manner, something more de-

PlatteYiew and its surrounding
country is a great farming commun-

for cattle to hide in and there is an
abundance of fresh water which

they have such an abundance grass
and fresh water.

Historical Event of Local Interest Again
