bulk of 1t was any longer In existence
as part of the estate of Margaret
Merriam Dameron.
Zelda sat inert, listening to the re-
cital, as her father read with deliber-
alton and with due regard for the So
norous legal phrases. He even read
through the notarial certificate; and
then he drew Off his glasses and set
tied back In his chair with a satisfied
air He hoped that Zelda would dis
cuss some of the provisions, or ask
questions. so that he might be assur I'd
that she suspected nothing.
Zelda said nothing. He rose and FUN
bled with the pen and Ink that lay on
the table by the inkstand, while he
waited for her to speak. The silence
grew oppressive; the girl had always
responded quickly in their talk. He
turned holding the pen in his hand.
Il suggest that you look the paper
over before signing, Zee"
He held the paper toward her, but
she shook her head.
Very well. l have read 1t to yon
carefully; and you can. of course, have
a copy at any time 1t Is perfectly
proper for you to sign to-night-the
day before your birthday; you can Ac-
knowledge 1t before a notary to-mor-
row."
He was smiling, but he held the pen
toward her with a hand that shook
perceptibly. Repulsion and pity struS-
gled for the mastery as she pondered,
looking away from him into the fire.
She felt that she could never meet his
eyes again; but she seemed to see
them in the flames the small gray eyes
that were so full of cunning and avar-
ice. 1t was his deceit his effort to
play upon her credulity, that stung her
now into a fierce contempt She rose
and turned toward him.
Il wish you would not lie to me. Ez-
ra Dameron," she said, quietly with
even the suggestion of caress upon
the syllables of his name.

A Byron statue.

Many years ago some admirers or
Lord Byron raised a subscription for
monument to the poet to be placed
In Westminster Abbey. Chantrey was
requested to execute 1t, but on ac-
count OF the smallness Of the sum
subscribed he declined, and Thorwald-
sen was then applied TO and cheerfully
undertook the work.
In about 1888 the finished statue
arrived at the customs house In Lon
don, but to the astonishment OF the
subscribers the dean of Westminster,
DR.. Ireland, declined to give permis-
sion to have It set up In the abbey.
and owing to this difficulty, which
proved insurmountable, for DR.. Ire
lands successor was Of the came opin-
ion, 1t remained for upward Of twelve
years In the customs house, when
(1S46) 1t was removed to the library
If Trinity College, Cambridge.
The poet is represented in the
statue of the size of life, seated on a
ruin, with his left foot resting on the
fragment OF a column. In his right
hand he holds style up to his mouth,
in his left book, inscribed "Childe
Harold" He is dressed in a frock
coat and cloak. Beside him on the
left is a skull, above which is the
Athenian owl. The likeness is, of
course, posthumous. Thorwaldsen was
born November 19, ITO. and died on
March "a. 1874

CHAPTER XIX.

Zelda had carried In her heart for
weeks the fear of some such disclosure
as that which she had just heard from
her uncle. In her ignorance of busi-
ness, she had not even vaguely guess
ed what had taken so strong a hold
upon her father. He had acted strange
ly during the long summer but she
had attributed his vagaries to the Ia
frmlty of years.
Zelda went at once to the living
room where her father usually sat
with his newspaper. but he had not
come home; and she went up to her
own room, glad of respite. She had
acted her part so long; she had de-
Tended him in her own heart and by
her own acts; she had even sought TO
clothe him in her thoughts with some
thing of the dignity, the nobility even,
Of honorable age; but this was now st
an end. 1t was clear that a crisis
had been reached; and while the pure
ly business aspect of the situation did
not trouble her at all, she felt that her
relations with her father could never
again be the same. She had been
shieldIng him, not from the contempt
of her kindred, but from her own dis
trust as well; and now that this was
et an end, she went slowly to her room
with a new feeling of Isolation In her
heart
she made a light and put aside her
hot and coat with the studied care that
we give to little things in our perplex-
tties. Then she unlocked the draw r
~ her desk In which she kept her
mothers book. 1t opened at the page
that had meant so much to her, that
had been her guide and her command
and she pondered the sentences anew

The earliest English book for chill
dren was "The Babies Book, or a
Lyttl Report of How Young People
Should Behave" The horn books ex-
listed in Elizabeth's reign. The writ
ing was covered with a sheet OF horn
in order to protect the lettering from
contact with dirty fingers.
The chap book contained most OF
the familiar nursery rhymes and sto-
ries which have appertained to nurs-
cry lore for generations. They eX-
hibit very crude woodcuts, often
daubed with inappropriate color, and
the commonest paper as a rule was
used. They were hawked about by
the chapman or peddler and cost only
few pence apiece.
They served to perpetuate such IA
miliar ditties as Sing a Song of Six
pence" which dates from the six
teenth century; Three Blind Mice"

and the Mouse" in existence In 1880,

which were folded up into oblong
pocket-shaped volumes. These taught
reading and numerals in the dame
schools in town and country. The lit
tie gilt books, as they were called,
adorned on the outside with gilt Dutch
paper-colored flowers, were much
priced gift books of that period. Chill
dren were employed coloring such pic

repetition, but we very often find the

He waited. to study his ground 6
little, and he glanced at Leighton. as
though to make sure that the young
man had not deserted him.
Father Is a little forgetful some
times" said Zelda. He isn't young
man, you must remember" The sym
pathy with which she spoke made
Merriam uncomfortable; and Leighton
moved uneasily 1t was not a pleas
ant task-that of telling young wom-
an that her father was a rascal.
But while the order of court can be
procured and injury to the purchaser
prevented there is another side of the
matter that we must consider"
Yes, uncle"-and she smiled a little
forlornly She knew that she should
meet the blow bravely when 1t fell;
but it hurt her now to feel her uncle's
kindness.
1T hurts me-Zelda, 1t hurts me
more than I can tell you. to have to
say that all is not quite clear about
this transaction. Your father has sold
at an extraordinary price l fear that
he Is in difficulties. In this real estate
matter you have your remedy It is of
L :
1t is only right that l should protect
you If l can"
You are very kind; you are always
good to me, Uncle Rodney"
THE failure to get the courts ap-
proval of the sale of the real estate
makes it possible for us to save it
this one piece, maybe, though nearly
all the rest is gone-to get it back, per-
haps. The situation is not agreeable.
Your father received the money and
am afraid he has made i'll use of 1t.
But we may find 1t possible to set this
sale aside, or get an additional sum
from the purchaser"
Merriam was looking intently at the
floor as he spoke these sentences. He
was suddenly aware that Zelda had
risen and crossed the room until she
stood before him, with flaming cheeks
and flashing eyes. He unconsciousIy
rose and drew away from her 1t SEEM
ed to Leighton that the air in the room
grew tense. The girl stood between
the two men, her lips parted, one hand
on the back of a chair.

She was gone so quickly that the
front door clammed on her last worl,
as though to add to the contempt that
1t carried.

Real
Progressive Not Republicans

Those who approve of the senti-
ments of such genuine progressives
as Victor Murdock of Kansas will be
disappointed If they expect that the
Republican party proper has any in
tention of carrying out such ideas.
This Is made plain in the Republican
text book just issued by the Repub-
lican congressional committee. The
campaign book emphatically does not
recognize insurgent republicans as re-
publicans, and thereby tacitly serves
notice to the public that If the next
House Is Republican the people need
not expect the ideas of progressives
to be carried out. The Republican
textbook, however, officially indorses
sentiments of the Aldrich-Cannon-
Guggenheim type of Republicans as
being Simon-pure Republicanism. AS
the Democratic campaign book ac-
cepts the sentiments of many of the
genuine, progressive Republicans as
being truly Democratic, 1t would seem
that the surest way to secure pro-
gressive Legislation would be by vot-
ing the Democratic ticket.

(By clyde H. Tavenner)

Washington, Oct. S-When wo-
man purchases SO worth of woolen
dress goods, s4.37 represents the val
ue of the goods and $5.13 the amount
of the tariff.
This is because of the Payne-Ald-
rich ad valorom tariff of 105 per cent
Or in other words, on each 81 worth
of wooden dress goods imported, the
Payne-Aldrich law levies tax of
$1.05. The consumer must pay the 81
value and the $1.O5 tariff, or S2O5 for
one dollars worth of goods.
This is but one of thousand illus
trations that could be submitted to
show how the tariff affects the cost of
living.
Here is another sample illustration
for the tariff arithmetic class, which is
composed of some 90,0O0,000 Ameri-
can consumers, all of whom are more
or less dissatisfied with the awful in
crease in prices
A suit of clothes having an import
price of $40, and which costs an Eng
lishman $40 when ready to put on, all
wool and tailor made pays at the Gus
tom house an ad valorem tariff of 80
per cent or SO per suit, making the
suit cost the American when it is put
on $1S, dsregarding transportation
and retail profits
Another comparison: An English
woman carpeting a room 1S ft. square
with ingram carpet two ply would
SO yards at dollar a yard fiat, or
would pay $36. An American woman
using the same carpet would pay $23.-
76 tariff at the custom house, which
would make the carpet cost her S5976.
