Monsieur de Pierrepont," cried The
young woman, seizing him by the
arm, ''by all that is dear and holy in
the world, l swear to you-jo you
hear?-that Beatrice is innocent Of
that of which you accuse her."
'She told you 500" Hlurmured
Pierrepont, smiling bitterly.
''Ah, Mon Dieu," continued Nine.
d'Aymaret, beside herself. wei. yes,
she told me so; she told me all. She
told me that ever since her childhood
she has loved nobody but you, that the
thought Of being your wife was
heaven itself to her. Anyway, she
adored you, and your aunt forced her
to refuse your hand under pain Of
disinheriting you, and she sacrificed
herself and she suffered herself to be
made martyr. That is the truth, and
you are the last man that she would
ever have repented of a culpable indis-
erection, very culpable, that I have
just committed. But it was very nee
essary to hinder misfortune, the
crime that you meditated."
He looked at her with a stupefled
eye, uncertain, still hesitating. But
the confidence had just risen from
the lips of the young woman, coming
from her heart, had an imposing
character Of truth. He comprehended
it quickly, and, softly taking her hand,
he seated himself before her with an
air of utter detection.
as it possible? Yes; I know that
you never tell falsehoods.. All, be
blessed for the kindness that you have
just done me. All, but I thank you.
You, however, do not render me any
happiness, but give me courage and
honor"
Il am thankful said she, pressing
his hand hard.
She spoke to him then in the most
explicit terms of the constraint to
which Beatrice had to submit upon
the part of Nine. de Montauron, hav-
ing in reality no reason for refusing
the details to which he listened with
avidity.
A sharp recall of the actors on the
stage informing them that the last act
had come.
"My dear Monsieur" said Nine d.
Aymaret, rising, eve have now both
of us need for repose, and still more
for reflection, and, besides, they
ought to begin to be disturbed in the
box in front of u.s.
With his hand Pierrepont made a
gesture of supreme Indifference.
Come tomorrow at O'clock" said
she. eve Will have to treat this ques-
tion seriously, in the matter of the
conduct to hold in regard to Beat
rice"
Tomorrow, then, Madame, and, yet
once again, I thank you" He reached
the door of the hallway as she entered
the box.

Laurie of Little Women Is Dead

Kansas City Star.-If you ever
journeyed to Concord, Mass, and
visited the old Olcott home on the
Lexington road beyond the Emerson
place, you undoubtedly looked up and
down the shady country highway for
the big house" next door, the home
of Laurie of Little Women and, failing
to find it, you became skeptical and
decided that the young man of JOS
romance was a creature of Miss Al
colts imagination.
But the death of Alfred Whitman In
Lawrence Sunday called attention
once morl to the fact that there really
was Laurie for he had letter from
the author of Little Women telling
him so. Only the real Laurie didn't
live in the big house next door.
In the Ladies' Home Journal for
September and October, 1901, Mr..
Whitman tells of his friendship for
the Alcott family, begun in the year
he spent in the Sanboin school at Con-
cord and continued until death inter
vened.
In the fall of 1857" Mr.. Whitman
writes, 81, a motherless boy of Is,
landed in Concord. I became a mem

with Carrie. his only sister. 1 formed

first visit to the Alcott family.
in the little house near the town
hall began the acquaintance which
was to bring John Pratt loving and
devoted wife and to the writer the
joy of a lifelong friendship with the
Alcotts and the Pratts. So close was
this friendship that it never occurred
to me that all, with the exception of
Abby, were at least ten years older
than myself"
Many letters passed between Louise
Alcott and Mr.. Whitman which he cites
in his articles in the Ladies' Home
Journal. The most Interesting one is
that in which she tells Mr.. Whitman
that he is Laurie, or half of Laurie
The letter is from Boston, dated Jan.
6, 1869. 1t reads:
Dear Aft have planned to write
to you dozens of times, but work pre-
vented. Now really will, the piles of
manuscript lie waiting for my editorf-
al eye. Don't you ever think old Sophy
forgets her Dolphus! Why, bless your
heart, put you into my story as one
of the best and dearest lads, ever
knew! "Laurie'is you and my Polish
boy Jointly" you are the sober half

Blue will be the prevailing color
this winter, although the standard
shades of green and gold will still be
very popular. In mixed goods, figures
will be much smaller, and there will
not be so many checks. It is likely
that few stripes will be worn, but
the stripes will go around the body in
stead Of up and down.
The green goods viii be made up
more simply and with fewer trimmings
than last season, although there will
be not a few ruf1es. Waists will be

Fronts are not so straight as they
were and everything VII be tight, with

WATCHING A TENDRIr GROW.
1t Carefully Examines Objects and
Works With Great Rapidly

Works With Great Rapidity.
Tendrils will reach out toward us if
we place our hands in contact with
them, and will even use a finger as a
support to climb on.
They are indeed capable of exhibit
ing faculties and going through evolu-
tons more wonderful perhaps than
many of US realize.
1T is only after we have seen them
at work." says a writer in Harper's
Monthly, testing with their sensitive
tips the objects they come in contact
With, apparently considering their
suitability as a support, and then &C
cepting or rejecting them, as the case
may bet is only then that we re-
alize how justly they have been
called the brains of plant life.
1.-THE thoroughness with which these
wandering tips explore their surround
ings is illustrated by an instance
observed in a grapevine tondril. A
cherry branch, whose leaves had been
variously punctured and scalIoped by
insects, hung near the tendril, and a
particular leaf had just one small hole
in it's blade not more than three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter
80 careful had been the explora-
ton of the leafs surface that this one
small hole had been discovered by the
tendril, which had thrust itself nearly

sips who vowed that Laurie and /
should marry. Authors take dreadful
liberties, but you won't mind being
happy spouse and proud papa, will
you?
In 1860 came a dry year" in Kan
sas. Whitman relates that no rain fell
for months and crops of all kinds were
a failure. Miss Alcott wrote: "I have
tried to get up some plays for Kansas,
feeling wicked over my copieus re-
freshments while my fellow-beings ate
bran in Lawrence, but everyone was
stupid"
DO tell me about your starvation
troubles" she urged, "and I'll send
you some of my remarkable produc-
tons in the cooking line. a warm flap
jack, an oyster pie or cake like the
mammoth one Carlyle speaks of in
Fred the Great" which was fourteen
ell long by six broad, containing 5000
eggs, thirty-six bushels of -four, one
ton of milk, ditto of yeast, ditto Of
butter"

In 1861 she writes to ask Laurie if

Supreme Court Renders Decision
in Democratic Party Contest.
ASKS MANY QUESTIONS
General Opinion Is That Dubois
Will Abandon Fight.

Action upon the democratic party
controversy has been taken by the
supreme court. At Boise Monday
the court, by the unanimous decision
of all the justices, over-ruled the de-
murrer of the attorneys for the Dubois
faction to the answer of the attorneys
for the Anti-Dubois ticket The
opinion was delivered by Justice
Stewart and stated that the court be-
lieved that while there were some
portions of the answer which were
irrelevant there was sufficient alleged
to constitute an answer and to warrant
the secretary of the state in filing the
Alexander ticket, if the facts alleged
were true.
A list of 10 questions was read by
the court the answers of which will
supply proof on the case. Most oi
the questions refer to details of the
conventions held at Wallace wher
the Anti-DuboiS men left the regular
convention hall and held a meeting
of their own.
Leaders of both factions are retic
ent regarding this decision of thu
supreme court but it is the genera
opinion among men who have follow
ed the interesting factional fight from
its birth to the present time that Du
bois will abandon the contest, realiz
ing that he is down and out and tina
while he has been prominent in tn,
party affairs he has not been univer
sally popular.
