mated countenance emerging from this
envelope like the bud of q rose from
its sheath. She was as q butterfly at
that critic'l instant when It is ready
to leave its chrysalis and take wing.
She was soul enmeshed in an ether
cal body, rather than body which en-
sheathed a soul Quietly and sedate-
ly the lovers met each other at the ta-
Die, or at the spring, or at the milk

And when the labors of the day had
ended, they sat beneath the spreading
hackberry trees, or wandered through
the garden, or down the winding lane
to the meadow, and reviewed the past
with sadness or looked forward to the
future with a chastened Joy Their
spirits were subdued and softened,
their love took on a holy rather than
a passionate cast, they felt themselves
beneath the shadow of an awful crime,
and again and again when they grew
Joyous and almost gay they were
checked by the irrepressible apprehen-
sion that out from under the silently
revolving wheels Of Judgment some

and sweet as was that love, they could
not always be happy with such a past
behind theml In proportion to the
souls real grandeur 1t must suffer over
Its own imperfections. This suffering
is remorse. In proud and gloomy hearts
which tell their secrets only to their
own pillows, its tears are poison and
Its rebukes the thrust Of daggers. But
In those which, like theirs, are gentle
and tender by nature, remorseful tears
are drops Of penitential dew. David
and Pepeeta suffered, but their suffer-
ing was curative, for pure love is like 3
fountain; by its incessant gushing from
the heart 1t clarifies the most turbid |
streams Of thought or emotion. Each
week witnessed a perceptible advance
in peace, in rest, in quiet happiness, |
and at last the night of their marriage |
arrived, and they went together to the
meeting house.

WORKING WOMEN AND BALLOT.
Argument to Show That They Would
Be Worse OFF with 1t.
(1'o be continued. }

Argument to Show That They Would
Be Worse on with 1t.
The lack of the ballot has nothing
whatever to do with the fact that wom-
en- workers are paid less than men
in the same occupations; the grant
Of the ballot would not raise the rate
of women's wages to an equality of
that of mems, says the Boston Tran
script. The comparatively low pay Of
women is due to economic and social
causes which the voting power could
not affect In the slightest degree.
Briefly put the chief of these causes
are: (1) The lower efficiency Of the
average woman worker, resulting
mainly from physical limitations;
(2) the temporary nature Of the en-
ployment, which in most cases is ter
minated by marriage; (3) the rapid
increase of the supply of woman labor,
which in recent decades has been
crowding into occupations already fill
ed by men; (4) the lack of organiza-
tion, which has left women at the
mercy Of sweat masters; (5) the para
site relation Of many women toward
their industrial occupations, which are
not their sole means of support. These
causes would persist even If women
had the ballot Whatever the suffrage
would or would not do for woman,
it would assuredly not bring her equal
ity Of pay with man.
Nor would the ballot assist work
Ing women to obtain better legislative
protection against injurious conditions
Of employment On the contrary, much
of the present legislation limiting the
hours and regulating the terms of en-
ployment for women would be rem
dered unconstitutional by the proposed
extension Of the suffrage This legis-
lation, so far as it applies to adult
women, now stands the test of consti-
tutionality only because women are in
the same class with minors as regards
their constitutional status If women
were given the ballot and thus were
placed in the same class with adult
men, they would be deprived of the
special protection now afforded them
by the labor code. In this respect the |
working woman would be worse off |
with the ballot than she is without the
boomerang weapon"

CHAPTER xxi

David's welcome home was quiet,
| cordial and heartfelt. The Quaker life
| is calm; storms seldom appear on it's
| surface, even though they must some
times agitate its depths; mind and
heart are brought under remarkable
control; sympathy and charity are ex-
| tended to the erring; hospitality is a
| duty and an instinct; domestic love is
deep and powerful.
| When David had frankly told his
story he was permitted to resume his
| place in the life of the old homestead
as If nothing had happened. He ex-
pressed to his brother and sister his
| love for Pepeeta, and his determination
to make her his wife in lawful mar
riage.
They assented to his plans and at
the earliest possible moment the min
listers and elders of the little congre-
cation of Friends were asked to meet,
in accordance with their custom, to
confer with him about a concern
which was on his mind"
They came, and heard his story and
his intention, told with straightforward
simplicity. They, too touched with
agreed that there was no obstacle to
the union. The date of the wedding
was placed at the end of the month,
which, by their ecclesiastical law, must
elapse after this avowal, and an even
ing meeting was appointed for the
ceremony.
In the meantime David remained
quietly at home, and took up his old
labors as nearly as possible where he
had laid them down. Such a life as
he had been leading induces a distaste
for manual labor, and sometimes he
chafed against It, Again and again he
felt his spirit faint within him when
he recalled the scenes of excitement
through which he had passed, and
looked forward to years of this un-
varied drudgery; but he never permit
ted his soul to question his duty! He
had decided in the most solemn ref1ec-
tions of his life that he would conquer
himself in the place where he had been
defeated, perform the tasks which he
had so ignominiously abandoned, and
then, when he had demonstrated his
power to live a true life himself, de-
vote his strength to helping others.
The charms of this pastoral exist
ence gradually came to his support In
his heroic resolution. The unbroken
quiet of the happy life which had ir-
ritated him at first, grew to be more
and more a balm to his wounded spir-
1t. The society of the animal world
lent its gracious consolation; the great
horses. the ponderous oxen, the doves
huttering and cooling about the barn
yard, the sucking calves. the playful
colts. all came to him as to a friend.
and in giving him their confidence and
affssiion awakened his own.
Above all Pepeeta was ever near
him. 1t was no wonder that her beau
ty threw its spell over David's spirit.

burst OF sunshine which had come with
David's return had brought II a final
contamination which transfgured even
the Quaker dress she had adopted. Her
bonnet would never stay over her face

During the Civil War They Deliber ately Revealed State Secret to ThurloW Weed, President
 LincoIn's Representative.

One of the many things, both past and present, that this country has req son to be deeply thankful for this day Is that a little group of women whose husbands were in the British cabinet at the time of the north's seizure of Mason and Slidell during the civil war deliberately revealed to President Lin coln's personal representative in Flu rope, Thurlow Weed, state secret, in order that all possibility of war be- tween this country and Great Britain might be averted.
 If you have read MT. Weeds auto biography, you doubtless remember that in the chapter in which he deals with the Mason and Slidell affair, he states that Lady Russell, whose hus- band was Great Britain's foreign sec retary, surreptitiously gave him to un- derstand that Queen Victoria was our friend, thereby assuring him, by in- direction, that he need have no fear of war with England. MT. Weed does not state how Lady Russell knew this; he says it was assumed that her hus- band told her. The story of how she really did come in possession of this information was told to me shortly after the death of Queen Victoria by Frederick w. Seward, our assistant secretary of state during the civil war.
 The day before Lady Russell spoke to MT. Weed said MT. Seward "a number of the British cabinet ladies, including Lady Russell, met at Lady

Now, when the patronage mongers of the different factions pour down upor me, I'll listen quietly to their demands, and when they are all through I'll turn to them and say: Gentlemen, I believe it Is true that you have in your state two factions of our party. Let me make it plain to you that I do not intend to recognize or oppose either faction by making this, that or the other appoint ment in its interests. On the other hand, I intend to remain absolutely neutral Therefore, my advise is for you gentlemen to get together and agree upon what you want in the way of offices, and then when you have fully decided this, come to see me. won't have factional fights brought into the White House."
 That added Mir. Tilden, is a plan that I feel sure will work, and relieve me of the great strain of try ing to appease all factions with politi- cal favors.'
 q, too, believe that it would have worked splendidly," went on Mr. Hew- itt, "and 1 am confident that it possi- bly would have kept MT. Tilden from dying while occupying the presidential chair, had the electoral commission decided in his favor. For he was not physically strong man, and fear that had he been compelled to handle the office seekers in the customary way the wear and tear on him would have been too great for him to bear and the country would have been called upon to mourn the death of yet another president killed by those who hungered for offlce.''

Ink the Romans Used,

The ancient Romans commonly wrote with metal point (stylus) on wooden tablets covered with wax (tabulae), but permanent records were written on parchment with a reed pen and liquid pigment or ink.
 At Haltem, in Westphalia, near the site of the Aluso fortress, erected by Drusus in the year II B. C., was re- gently found a bronze vessel contain. ing a dried black mass, which Prof. Kassner has decided to be Roman ink. The mass was found to consist chiefly of soot and tannate of iron. It also contained smaller quantities of ferric oxide, copper oxide, clay, magnesia, gypsum. phosphoric acid, carbonic acid alkalies and sand. These prob. ably represent chiefly accidental i'm purities which have found their way into the old inkstand, but some of them may be due to the chemical actions of the ink on the bronze yes. sel.
 The presence of an aromatic sub. stance suggests that the ink was i'm ported from Italy, where the use of perfumed ink was common.-Scientific American.

Parke Goodwin Witnessed His Last Visit to the Graves of His Father and Grandfather at
 Princeton.
By E. J. EDWARDS.

year or two before the death, in l9O4, of Parke Goodwin, distinguished journalist, author and son-in-law of William Cullen Bryant, I met him one morning, and in the course of our con- versation some historical reference was made to Aaron Burr. At once MT. Godwin's eyes lighted up with new interest.
 Il think" he said, that am the only person now living who ever saw Aaron Burr, and I am sure that I am the only living person who ever talked with him. That brings you very near to the revolutionary period of our government, doesn't it?
 T believe that there has been some public reference to the fact that Burr, when an old man, took me on his knee and talked to me about my Latin school books" continued the vener- able journalist, then nearing his eigh- ty-seventh birthday. But I do not re- call any public reference to the last time l saw him, and l will tell you the anecdote.
 It was during my student days at Princeton, where I graduated in 1884 One afternoon, in the late autumn, went with a fellow student for a stroll. and finally, at his suggestion, We turned into the town cemetery and walked among the graves of the dis tinguished men buried there.
 We were approaching that part of the cemetery in which the presidents of Princeton were buried when I no- ticed an old man standing there per fectly still, with his hat off, his head bent, and apparently in deep medita- tion. Something about the mans fig ure, and perhaps his clothes-for he wore the conventional garments of an earlier time-led me suddenly to sus- pect that it was Aaron Burr, up to whom my father had led be, bashful schoolboy, so many years before. l motioned for my companion to stop, and I moved little to one side, so that I might see the mans face in profile at least; and when I did I knew for certainty that it was Aaron Burr.

He Proposed to Make Good Use of the Fractional Differences That Ex. isted In the Democratic
 Party.

In this column few days ago I told how President Hayes got rid of many of his callers who didn't know when to leave, by arousing in them a desire to see at close range the Washington monument, then in course of construc tion. Today, owing to the intimate acquaintance 1 enoyed for many years with the late Abram s. Hewitt, a for mer mayor of New York city, I am able to tell the story of how President Hayes opponent, Samuel J. Tilden, planned to handle the horde of office seekers that he knew full well would descend upon him once he had been established in the White House.
 AS you know" said Mr. Hewitt, "all through the Hayes-Tilden cam paign I was practically MT. Tilden's personal campaign manager, and 1t was quite natural for him, I suppose, to tell me from time to time of some of the things that he planned to do should he be elected.

 For perhaps ten minutes he stood there just as we had first seen him. At last he turned slowly-it seemed reluctantly-away, and with his head still bent, his hands clasped behind all but sweeping his coat collar, he walked with trembling steps out of the cemetery, not having seen us, or. if he had, making no sign to that effect.
