1 her daughter start for the trysting place She knew how bitter the thought of the marriage of these two would be to tie man across the way. And so the summer waned and the fall came, and In October the two were to marry-David with his fathers consent, Elvira with her mothers, and yet neither parent knew of the willingness of the other. Revenge was the sword with which each hoped to pierce the heart of his opponent
 On the morning of the wedding day Elvira's mother helped the girl to dress. There was rD veil, no white satin; but Elvira in her filmy null, with her fair hair in golden coronet | around her head and with bunch of white roses from the garden, was a thing of beauty.
 The mother was in fiutter of ex- citement over the supposed runaway. You go on and meet David," she said. and will come after you to the church. It won't do to let David's father suspect
 l On the other side of the fence the old man was giving similar advice. You go and meet your girl" he ad- yised. and I'll go down to the church after you It won't do to let her mother know Then he brought out a bunch of red roses. Shed better have a brides bouquet. even if it is a runaway match"
 Into the dim country church an hour later came the young couple. The bride was fresh and sweet in her snowy finery: and in her arms she carried great punches of roses-red and white and fragrant The bride groom. with his head up, looked as If he defied the world to take her from Linn. The minister brought with him couple of servants to act as witnesses and the footsteps of the five persons echoed through the still ness. Then. as the young pair stood before the man of God, the silence was broken by careful tiptoeing in the aisle to the right and a careful tip-toeing In the aisle to the left The red fiamed into David's face, but FL vira was white. The minister began the service. and back of that happy trio two old persons, caught in the net of their own evil passions, glared at each other across the empty pews
 But as the service went on the flashing glances softened-none could hear the beautiful words that joined youth and beauty with youth and strength and remain hardened Into the eyes of Elvira's mother came tears. She leaned her head on the back of the pew in front of her anC wept
 Davids father cleared his throat.
 What God hath Joined together said the minister. let not man put asunder'"
 The service over. Elvira almost rar down the aisle. But 1t was the aisle to the left. and it was to David. father that she ran
 Forgive us oh. please forgive us, . she said
 In the aisle to the right David helt little weeping woman to her arms a little woman with the hatred al gone out of her heart. And present., the couple in the left aisle went tC meet the couple in the right aisle. anC the old woman was saying: My son. while the old man muttered: M, daughter.

Claws intimated that the letter of in

him and pointing out that the Land Of

report. To contrOvert this, Mr.. Vertrees
read portion Of the letter of instruc-
tions. which said:

BaIIingeF Became Counsel.
In specifying at the morning session
the basis of his charges against Ballinger
in the interval between his term Of Office
as Land Commissioner and his entrance
into the Cabinet as Secretary of the In
terror, CLAWS said Ballinger went directly
from the Land Office to Seattle, where
he became counsel for the Cunninghams.
CLAWS said that, in his opinion. this was
a violation OF the law. The statute to
which he had reference reads: 1T shall
not be lawful for any person appointed
after the 1st of June, 1872, as an officer,
clerk, or employe in any of the depart
ments to act as counsel. attorney, or
agent for prosecuting any claims against
the United States which was pending in
either of said departments while he was
such an officer, clerk. or employe. nor
in any manner or by any means to aid in
the prosecution"
1t was this affidavit which Ballinger
personally carried to Secretary Garfield
and which was characterized by Schwartz
as ingenious, but not convincing"
1t was learned yesterday that counsel
for CLAWS probably viii call former Sec
retary Garfield as a witness before their
side of the case is closed.

cross ss-eXamination Of CLAWS when the
committee adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
