added: 90 You shall tell him II be there at 7. Und

Mr.. Blumberg.'
The eyes of love never keen, else would Esther
have discovered the large part that clothes had played
in the making of her man, for the figure which awaited
her coming at the of Grand and Essex streets
that evening bore little resemblance to the dapper Mr.
Bumberg of the emporium Gone was his assurance
and his color gone his ingratiatng manner and his
fancy vest. He shrunk to half his former size,
and the little Scotch cap perched raksy over one of
his hollow eyes added largely to the change in his ap
pearance. But Esther none of these things. She
saw only that he thin, and i'll, and miserable.
She had thoughtfully brought his derby in paper
bag, and when it more upon his head he
seemed to recover some of his spirits. Nevertheless
his report gloomy and his hope at lowest ebb lie
was out of work, could find no opening, had eaten
nothing all day, wished that he dead, and had
asked Esther to meet him that he might bid her an
eternal farewell since his chances in New York
gone and he must emigrate.

her tears. care you going far awayY'

seen none like it. Don t you have sad feelings
your fellow. He's awful nice fellow.
Gradually Esther sobs ceased and she allowed
herself to be soothed and quieted by Morris S
dearments and caresses, that when the elder No
gilewskys returned from of revey, they found
aunt and nephew asleep and peaceful.
Weeks went by; they grew to months; and no word
from Isaac. He had evidently deserted Esther,
whose gradually changed to resentment. Why,
she asked herself, did he not write to her? Why
make sign of love remembrance Slowly she
to believe that his farewell had been final, and
slowly the vision of him, which in the first weeks of
her bereavement had haunted the whole store, faded
and died.

had waited for his store and content to wait for
Esther. He was patient, but assured. For what girl
he asked hmsef-and Esther-could refuse the in

But the tried spirit of Mr.. Blumberg revolted. His

at the service of men, Esther smiling upon men; him
self fitting rubbers to the feet of men, and Esther
looking upon him in that position. 1t more than
he could endure. But Mr.. Goldstone not lightly

When Esther reached home,
heavy of eye and sick of heart,
Morris was watching for her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mogilewsky had
gone to a ball, to which Esther
had been invited, but from the
very thought of which she
shrank.

eagerly inquired. "Didn't he

His adored auntie, instead of

downward upon the bed behind

weeping. The boy was beside

Blumberg cleaned in specimens
of all the features whose
price had been forcibly deduct
ed from his salary.
The sale was to begin upon
a Monday morning. The day
came; the populace did not.
The Italian puller-in worked
vigorously, but to little purpose,
and Mr.. Goldstone fumed and
wondered. At 10 O'Clock a
large wagon was backed almost
across the sidewalk, and two
Board of Health officials disem-
barked. At sight of the blue
cloth and brass buttons the
strong Italian reversed his func-
tion and became a shover-out;
but the men overawed that stall
Yart son of Tuscany and entered
the emporium. Mr.. Goldstone,
with visions of vests and neck
ties sold at prices as fancy as
themselves, hustled forward, and
a look of Mortified enlightenment
dawned upon the face of Mr..
Blumberg.
" Are you the proprietor 7"
asked one of the visitors. Mr..
Goldstone beamed and bowed.
"Then we've come for the
goods mentioned in the adver-
tisement, announced the other,
drawing out Mr.. Blumberg s
latest effusion.
"All of them2' cried Mr..
Goldstone, and he thought that
his prayers had been answered
and the yearnings of lifetime
fulfilled. "All of them ~

 What bargainT demanded Douglas.

 "So that's it!' cried. Douglas. It was all clear to him now. He recalled everything - her hysterica behavior. her laughter. her tears. "It was you who drove that child back to this" He glanced at Polly. The narrow saoul. ders were bent forward. The nervous little fingers were clasping and unclasp- ing each other. Never before had she seemed so small and helpless.

 She dared not meet his eyes nor yet to send him away. She stood irreso- lute. The voice of Deacon Strong an- swered for her.
 "So you're here. are you?"
 "Yes, Deacon Strong. Pm here." an- swered the pastor as he turned to meet the accusing eyes of the deacon.

His object that night was not merely
to argue in favor of home rule, with
the mass of the working men OF Great
Britain. The time for argument on the
question nearly was past. His real mis-
sion was to place the issue of home rule
fairly and squarely before the electors
of Great Britain at the next general
election. The Irish Nationalist party
regarded that as the most urgent or
all questions. He did not deny the
urgency of the question of the house
of lords. Possibly until that question
was settled the final conclusion on the
Irish question could not be arrived at.
He would be the last to deny the
urgency of the question of Welsh dis
establishment, of education, of licens-
ing and of the great question of UNI
employment, but for Ireland the ques-
ton of home rule was more urgent than
was any one of these questions for
ENGLAND.

REDMOND GIVES HIS
IDEA OF HOME RULE
SAYS QUESTION is MORE THAN
IRISH PROBLEM
Member of Parliament Declares Ma
tionaIist Members OF Government
Are Friends of Labor Cause
in Great Britain

LONDON, April 3.-John Redmond
NJ. P. was present few nights ago
at a mass meeting held in the VIC
toria hall, Sunderland. under the
auspices of the Sunderland Labor party.
Arthur Henderson, M. F., chairman oi
the Labor party, who presided, SAID
that there was not single member OF
the Labor party in the house OF COM
mons who was not Fundamentally IN
favor of what had for many years been
called home rule.
Mr.. Summerbell, NJ. p, junior member
for Sunderland, who next spoke, de-
scribed home rule as the lrlsnnan s
labor question.
Mr.. Redmond said this was the nrst
time he had appeared on labor plat
form in Great Britain. He wished 10
show the question of Ireland was not
merely an Irish question, but great
inperial problem, on the solution OF
which the welfare of the working
classes in no small degree depended.
Labor members had received the
votes of Irishmen in Great Britain,
and he was there to say TO them thaI
they had honorably fulfilled tnelr prom
is. and that on every occasion, when
the interests of ireland were at stake,
the country counted confidently on the
support, which they received, or the
Labor party.
Irish Nationalist members of parlia-
nent were friends Of the labor cause
in this country. 1t was quite natural
for him to appear on labor platform,
for the objects of the Nationalist and
the labor men were identical, and Irish
> tionalists were convinced profoundly
that the masses os the people of this
country were friendly to Ireland.
Anything which tended to make Ire
land contented and prosperous and
stem the tide of emigration and in
duce the working men of Ireland to re-
main at home was direct benefit to
the masses of the working people of
Great Britain.
The real enemy home rule in ire
land is not to be found in racial hatred
or religious animosity, but is to be
found in the Britons. 1t is the Y
of Nationalist to dispel that ignorance
and dissipate the Indifference, and
hence they We're coming among the
English people and on to their plat
forms.
Ireland's poverty was artificial and
the direct result of disagreement.

To Abolish Old Custom

HONG KONG, April 3.-On the oc-
casion of eclipses of the sun or moon
it has for centuries been customary in
China for everybody, down to the
meanest subject, to let off firecrackers
and cause gongs to be beaten for the
purpose of frightening off the monster
which is supposed to be swallowing the
luminary, and for every mandarin
holding office to burn candles and in
cense and PROSTATE himself before the
darkening orb. The superstitious GUS
tom is no longer to be officially recog-
nized. A Pekin letter states that the
astronomical board presented memor-
ial to the prince regent the other day,
reporting a Forthcoming eclipse of the
moon and recommending the perform
ance of the usual ceremonies To the
horror of the conservative portion of
the court, Prince Chun replied that
all this was mere superstition, which
must now be abolished forever. The
news that this enlightened view is held
by the prince regent is said to have
filled the hearts of all liberal-minded
Chinese with qualification.

MORE DREADNAUGHTS
ONLY PROVISIONAL
GERMANY NOT ALARMED BY
BRITISH FIGURES
Enqland Has Not Trained Naval Men
to Handle More Big Battleships
Even Should They Be
Built

BERLIN, April 3.-German naval ex-
perts are by no means deeply I'M
pressed by the British naval estimates,
The conviction exists here that the
number of new ships to be laid down by
England during the coming fiscal year
barely suffices to maintain the two
power standard. No serious signifi-
canoe is attached to the announcement
that four more Dreadnaughts may pos
sibly, under certain circumstances, be
laid down, because this clause Is re-
garded as a worthless concession TO
British public opinion, which demands
the absolute maintenance OF naval
supremacy at all costs.
These provisional terms for more
Dreadnaughts are regarded as clever
device to soothe the conscience OF
those Liberals who realize that the
shipbuilding program in its original
form does not suffice.
According to the information of Ger
man experts, the weakness of the Brit
ish naval program for the year lies
in it's failure to provide trained crews
to man the new battleships. The
opinion prevails here that while Britain
possesses a magnificent fleet, built Of
the finest material and equipped in
every respect In accordance with the
necessities of modern warfare, she has
not the trained crews to man them.
The dangerous weakness of the Brit
ish navy in this respect is well known
to the German government and leads
German naval men to conclude that
the British supremacy in the North sea
would not be so absolute In reality as
it Is on paper.
1t is thought here that every new
battleship laid down by Britain is prac-
tically useless unless provision be made
at the same time to train the full COM
plement of crews to handle. them under
war conditions.
Immense sums devoted to new Dread
naughts are, therefore, regarded as so
much waste because no provision mas
been made to supply the men whose
efficiency transforms them into usetul
weapons of war. For this and other
reasons, therefore, the British naval
power is regarded by the Germans as
something of a chimera.
