A moment. catching the infiammapie

they were sheltered from the herce

There was no breeze, apparently,
and the smoke would follow the wake
of the ship. They watched the little
speck on the horizon with strained In
tensity for a few moments.
How If she passes on?" asked the
man, at last.

woman, slowly, "that-Look!" she
cried, in sudden gladness.
The ship had turned and the cloud

ness was n~obody's, and presently pub
lie interest in her declined. h and
her philosophy were practic' y for
gotten by all but Langford hiL-sef.
Fortune, which had done him some
evil turns, here, however, i~nterposed to
his advantage. The lady who legally
bore his name departed this life and
left him a r man. Brute though ne
had been, Langford was not without
some strong idea of honor and de-
cency. Indeed, he had enjoyed long
and undistributed hours of meditation
upon his sins of omission and commits
sion during his period of GONZALES
cence, and the calm consideration OF
character and career had lone him
good. At heart, in spite of his brutal
conduct, for which drink had largely
been responsible, he was a gentleman,
and capable of things fine and high
under the stimulus of some really
great emotion. He had come to real
ize, to put it mildly, what an awful
fool he had been to say nothing of his
villainy. What had led him to this
realization had been the remembrance
of the hours he had passed with Kath-
arine Brenton before the clouds had
arisen which had eliminated in that
awful storm, the recollection of which
fairly made him shudder. However,
he had deceived her by professed ad-
herence to her wild theories and i'm
possible PHILOSOPHERS, he had honestly
loved her, and association with her
had been Of benefit to him. If he
only had not given away to his tenn
per and his appetite! If 1t had not
been for his former obligation!
He had married his wife in a mo-
ment of boyish infatuation. The union
had been impossible almost from the
first. She was little more than an
adventures, much older than he, who
had %entrapped him for his money.
There had Seen a separation on a lib
eral financial basis, to which the wom-
an had readily, eve cheerfully,
agreed, and he had nc lingering re-
mains of affection to hold him back.
Her death was only a relief to him.
He felt that he owed reparation to
Katherine Brenton. and he was more
willing to pay the debt because he was
honestly and genuinely in love with
her so far as a man of his tempera-
mem could be in love with a m
He wanted to make amends for his

to say how ashamed he was of all that
he had done, and to beg her to forgive
him and marry him.
The death of his father and the me-
cessity for the administration of the
vast interests of the bonanza kings
estate prevented him from at once
engaging upon the search which he
promised himself he would make, but
he expedited matters, sometimes to
his own loss, as rapidly as he could,
and after nearly a years stay in San
Francisco, he found himself in posi-
ton to undertake his quest. For a
year thereafter he and the Southern
Cross %traversed the UNEMPLOYED. unvis-
tied waters of the South seas. He
had landed upon island after island
which he had examined with minute
particularly. Some he had found in
habited by natives, whom, through in.
terpreters he had procured, he ques-
toned unavailing!y. He ran across
stray vessels trading among the is
lands, and through them with con
stantly increasing, ever widening me-
diums, he carried on his search, but
without result. In thus sweeping the
Pacific, he visited everything that was
charted, and all that he could find
that was not, n was now homeward
bound, convinced that the launch must
have %foundered and that he would
never solve the mystery of her disap.
pearance.
So as%siduously had he prosecuted
his search that the crew of the South
ern Cross, who knew nothing as to the
cause of the eagerness, With the es
ception of the ship master, looked
upon him as a harmless visionary.

"There!" cried the man, pointing to
seaward.
His eyesight was better than hers,
but hers was still sufficiently keen, as
she followed his o~utstretched arm and
extended finger. to see upon the far
horizon a dark object which was un-
doubtedly a ship. A hazy column of
smoke elongated behind 1t, and told
her 1t was a steamer.

Have Grievances.

In a stern denunciation of the &C
ton of Mayor J. F Elder, and Com
missioners Thomas P. Gray and F. T.
f. Schmidt in ordering the union label
removed from all city printing and in
giving further orders declared to be
hostile to the union electricians and
/ painters of Keokuk the several unions
have resolved to assail the new adj
ministration, if they find these reports
+ we'll founded. Such action is declar-
/ ed by union men to be the beginning
of thorough investigation, and a
committe has been appointed to probe
more deeply into the matter.
The action which carried sting
! into the hearts of union men is the
order coming from Mayor Elder order
ing the label removed from the city
printing. And it is even limited that
were there no-union shops in Keokuk
these would receive the city's business
The union label has been stamped
upon printing in Keokuk for six years
past and the same conditions exist
in nearly every other city in Iowa
The commissioners say It is contrary
to the law. However. all of the state
printing bears the union label
The electricians claim to have
grievence also. Recently John Fisher
was appointed a driver of one of the
fire department wagons. He is an
electrician and a member of the union.
Therefore he was ordered to take care
OF the gamewells and keep them in
repair. The onion electricians de-
clare this is taking work out of their
hands, and is an injustice They say
Fisher is paid for driving and not do
ing work that should be given to men
earning their living by it.
The painters have a grievance of +
some similarity During the past week
or two there has been considerable
going on about the engine +
houses. The firenen have been re-
luired to do this, instead Of the work
being turned over to taxpayers, earn
ng livelihood in this line of business
