FL H|JO.DEL D|ABEO,
Por Paul Fevala

-Hareis 10 que os agrade, Julian
dijo: -porque estais va en- edad de no
necesitar consejos. Por 10 que res
pecto mi, adn cuando les amo de
todo corazon, desconfio de ellos sin
embargo. !. y volviendo al ob3eto de
csta conversation, miro como una
fabula indigna esa acusaci6n contra
cl caballero Reinhold.. por 10 demas
vos 10 conoceis 10 mismo que yo:
scual es pues, vuestra opinion?
Nj opinion es la misma vuestra,
senora-repuso Julian, que habia
vuelto a caer en- su meditation.
sSabeis quien os ha dado ese pa
pei?
No, senora.
-Sabreis a 10 menos donde 10 ha-
beis recibido.
Julian vacil6 por espacio de un Sc
gundo. Despues contest6.
En- el bale de mascaras de la Ope
ra comica.
layer noche?
Aver noche.
La vizcondera 10 miro de hito e
hlto, y prorrumpio en- una carca-
iada en- que NADIA habia de Tornado.
-iY yo que lie compadecia! !-excla-
mo. iy yo que buenamente me in
quietaba al verle tan fatigado!..
Va sabemos ahora de que procede
vuestra palidez, senor vizconde'. Ha
beis empleado a las mil maravillas
las primeras horas de vuestra licen-
cla. iOh! este promote.
Y al decir este, lie atrajo hacia 81,
y lie beso alegremente.
y es possible agrego,-que ven
gals, hablarme sacramento de vues-
tras 1ocuras de bales de mascaras. :.
No veis que Sc han burlado de vos
Y que ese billete dcscubre la mano de
un envidioso de vuestra dicha.
;. iOh! bien 10 sabeis, mi querldo
Julian. Esther es hermosa es rica, es
amada. Teneis rivales y mas de
veinte son los que yo conozco...
Como pucs, 10 habcis podido adivi-
mar el motive dc esa calumnia.
Madame de Audemer hablaba We
hementemente; defcndia una causa
medic canada va en- el csrazon de
Julian por el recuerdo de Esther q
-Pero-replico;-no Sc trata sola-
mente de mi; pues de quien sobre to-
do Sc b habla es de mi hermana y del
eaballero de Reingold.
Madame de Audemcr Sc encogio
de hombros. compasivamente.
-Bien Sc We que llcgais de los an
tipodas, mi querido Julian replico:-
sacaso no esta ella en- identicas cir
que vos ?Sed justo; pen
sais que todas csas hijas del comer-
clio pueden yer sin celos, sin envidia,
a vuestra hermana casarse con uno
de los jefes de la casa mas fucrte del
arrabal de San Honorato? Creedme,
el despe cho las consume, y 81 las mu-
jcreS e b tticscn, Dionisia habria te-
nido Va media docena de duelos.
-Realmente -murmuro Julian
no me parece que ella este muy con-
tenta con su dicha.
iOh! no hagais case de ESQ, hijo |
mio; es precise ser mujcr, y muier
de cNperiencia, para adivinar 10 que !
pasa en- cl corazon dc las iovcnes.
Nais il Yer como Dionisia vuelve tan
alegre, como triste ha cstado duran
te el dcsayuno, Y como os bcsa Y col
MA de carlcias, tanto que cstarcls du-
dudoso en- rcconoecrla.
-sDionisia cs, pucs ahora mas nj
M que en- otro tiempo?-prcgunto el
marino con accnto de reproche.
-iEsas jovenes ! amigo mio-dilo |
madame dc Audemer;-csas jovenes.. /,
Ah! Isl supiescis 10 que son.. .pcro, |
nos apartamos dc nucstro obleto y |
no quicro que dcjcmos tan pronto il
i la pobrc Esther. .Ncamos Julian
lccidme que os annals todavia.
-Quicn sabc 81 ella me ha olvidado
cl marino.

SENATE IN TANGLE
ON DEFICIENCY BILL
Hepburn Protests Against
Fixing Salaries for Gus
toms Court Employees.

The Senate took up the urgent de-
flciency bill soon after it eonve ISd to-
day and very shortly got into tangle
about the salaries Of the employees Of
the customs court. The Senate com
mittee nad increased the salaries. plac-
ing = assistant attorney general at
S10,00l, ais deputy at $500 and four at
torneys at $500 each. with other en-
ployes aggregating $3.50.
Sena- or Hepburn protested that II was
not possible to appropriate for the sal
aries of offices not yet created. He
pointed out that these offices were not
really created until the tariff bill passes,
and trerefore raised a point of order
that it is new legislation. Senator BoIah
and others protested also that ylle SAL
aries had been fixed too high.
The Senator was urged not to press
his point of order because while IL was
TecOg lized as being perfectly good, his
insistenCe upon it would require that
the urgent deficiency bill would have
to wait until after the taTiff bill had
been passed and become law, that
lengthening the session at least a day or
two.
The provisions giving $4,000 for the
Presidents travelling expenses went
through without objection. An item
giving $500 for additional compensa-
ton 10 retired army officers who com
posed the board which inquired into
the eligibility of the discharged Browns
vile troops for reinstatement, raised
objection from Senator Clay, but he
finally withdrew, and the item was ac-
ceDted.
The Senate agreed to strike out one
provision OF large interest 10 the Dis
trict Of Columbia. This was the re-
quirement that bonds given by en-
ployes Of the Government should not
be accepted If the rate of premium
paid upon them exceeded the rate in
vogue year ago. This was intended
to limit the operations of an alleged
bonding trust, which is said 20 be rails
ing rates on employees OF the District
The Senate did not particularly sym
pathlze with this antitrust effort, and
the provision was stricken out.
All the items in the measure of imme-
date interest to the District OF COluln-
Cia wer1 accepted. These includc ad-
uitiOnal appropriations of S6,000 for ths
care of children committed to the care
of the Board OF ChiIdren's Guardians,
