Mary's face flushed; then it paled.

Il am sure of it."
The girls eyes were shining with
dreadful start. The hand that
held her needlework was shaking.
'Tell me how you know" she
said; and there was catch in her
voice. Her dream was fading be-
fore her eyes. The hope Of the past
month was tottering.
mot now, Molly" said Guy, and
there wan the faintest note of tri-
umph in his voice. mot now" he re-
peated ever SO gently. 'I will do so
some day. IL did not Intend to say
SO much. My feelings ran away

know it would hurt you. I see now
that my own case is hopeless. You

mine. Molly, believe me, IL am sor-
ry. think had best go home. You
won't Danish me, little woman, will
you? You will see me sometimes,
but it will be only as a-friend."
Guy rose from the table. He wait
ed for an answer, but the girl was
struggling to stife the sobs that were
choking her. He stepped to her
side and smoothed her head with a
gentle hand. She did not move, or
resent the action in any way. She
was beyond It: she was almost obliv-
ious to his presence. Silently he
moved away. At the window he
paused and looked back at the small,
huddled figure. At length he pass
ed out on to the stoep and walked
over to his horse.
And as he stepped out into the
darkness his whole manner changed.
A fiendish grin spread over his face.
GAS man soweth," he murmured,
as he rode away. "Well. I've sown
tonight. I wonder what sort Of a
crop it will yield"
And Mary remained where she was
until she heard her husbands foot
step on the stoep; then she fed pre-
cipitately into her bedroom. The
wreck Of her hopes was sudden and
complete. But that which had hap
pened was different to what Guy be-
lieved. The woman had given no
thought to Ferman's going In the
first instance, except that she had no
desire to be left alone with her visit
or. It seemed perfectly natural that
he might wish to get the letters him
self. But Guy had opened her eyes
to the certainty Of something she had
feared but never wholly admitted to
herself. Naturally she didn't see
the matter from s-Guy's-point;
she knew nothing of the compact, but
she remembered the scene on the
day she was taken Ill. Now she saw
that, if Ferman still had any love for
her, he would never have left her
alone with this man. She saw it
now; she understood that now. It
was as plain as if her husband had
told her so himself. His love was
deadi
And the bitterness of the thought,
this wrecking Of her newly-born
hopes, was even more terrible than
all that had gone before.

From this statement it can be seen
that the largest items of expenses
are Schools. Fire Department and
Funded Debt, requiring respectively,
as follows:
Schools about one fourth; Fire De-
partment about one eighth; and
Funded Debt about one eighth of the
entire revenue Of the City.
State Tax.
For each of the past two years the
State has levied a tax of one half a
mill on each dollar of the respective
grand lists Of the cities and towns of
the state. for State purposes. It is
q little unfortunate that at this time
we are unable to determine positive
Nv. whether or not such a tax will be
levied this year.
OF course If such a tax is imposed
we will have to make a virtue of
necessity and pay it.
ind that the City of New Haven,
i'm preparing its last estimates and
appropriations, has not provided for
a State Tax, and its officials inform
me that they did not desire to antici-
pate the imposition of such a tax,
but that If 1t were levied they in
tended to raise the money to meet
IL by the levytng of special City
tax While this method, from our
standpoint would be cumbersome
and unsatisfactory one, still it can
be done IL circumstances require it.

THE BLOSSOM

Only a shriveled seed It might be flower or weed; Only a box of earth on the edge Of a narrow dusty window ledge; only a few scant summer showers, Only a few clear shining hours That was all. Yet God could make Out of all of these, for a sick child's
 sake, A blossom wonder as fair and sweet AS ever broke at an angels feet. Only a life of barren pain, Wet with sorrowful tears of rain; Warmed sometimes by a wandering
 gleam Of joy that seemed but happy dream A life as common and brown and
 bare
 As the box of earth in the window
 there;
 Yet il bore at last the precious bloom Of a perfect soul in a narrow room Pure as the snowy leaves that fold Over the flowers heart of gold.

Manchurian Matters
Correspondence of the Assoelatee
 Press.

MUKDEN Manchuria, November 25:-Japan watches the development of the revolution in Southern China with absorbed attention. The Japan ese have in 1t an interest both eco homie and political deeper than A.ler- jeans would have in revolution in Canada or in Mexico.
 The results of evil war in China must within the view of authoritative observers here have a profound iniiu- ence on every Asiatic power and upon Jal an most O. ail Japanese states manship in it's relations to the Asiatie mainland must have always in mind that there alone can Japenese expan- sion take place without coming into collision with a European or an Amer ican power
 The Japanese press and the Jap anese government have apparently ac- cepted the fact that the white races bar the way to colonization in Austra- lia, North America and in Asia be- yond the confines of China.
 One need not reach a conclusion now as to whether Japan would have given up the railway and Southern AIanchuria to China upon the expira- ton of the railway lease. Certainly the disorder in Southern China and the extreme weakness of the Imperial government at Peking cause respon- sible Japanese officials here to feel that Southern Manchuria is more than ever Japanese.
 The yiceroy of Manchuria has de clared his independence. Immediate ly following that announcement the Yokohoma Specie bank, q Japanese government institution. has loaned the Viceroy several million dollars, The foreign observers here consider this loan as guaranteed by political mortgage upon Southern Manchuria. Now the Japanese vested the right in Manchuria and is considered to run until such a time as the provincial government of Mlnchuria can repay this loan. It is understood that the independent Chinese government of Manehuria proceeds under Japanese advice.
 The sectional rivalry between Northern and Southern China is such that the southern revolutionary chiefs appeared to care very little for what becomes of Mongolia and Alsnchuria so that it is possible that in the event of a strong republic or dictatorship beng founded by the insurgents, the new government would not come into serious collision with either Japan CT Russia over what either country might do in Manchuria or in North western China.
 Although Japanese statesmanship will probably avail itself of every op- portUnity created by the changing governmental conditions in the Chin ese Empire, yet I1ere appears to be no disposition to add to the difficult ties or to intervene in any manner beyond the borders of MsnchuTia
 The aim of the Japanese policy seems now as before the outbreak of the revolution to be in the direction of encouraging an efficient govern ment in the Chinese Empire and the development Of the splendid resources lying unused Japan needs time to consolidate her interests in Korea and in Manchuria. Her geographical near ness to the Chinese markets and the skill in special knowledge of Japan. csc traders make the Japanese con. fident that they will obtain a large share Of the advantages of the Chin. csc people without further territorial extension.

SECOND RECIPROCITY FIGHT
Philadelphia Recordl

Philadelphia Record)
 Sir Wilfred Laurier does not in. tend to accept defeat of reciprocity with the United States as a settled is. sue of Canadian politics. He will keep the issue alive, and at the first op portunity carry it again to a test vote at a general election. At the next session of the Canadian parliment there will be a reapportiOnment and redistribution Of seats in conformity to the late census returns. This will give the western provinces, which have most at stake in the establish ment of reciprocal trading. over twenty additional members. There is every reason to believe if the United States shall keep open the proffer oi freer trade between the two countries that as a result of sober second thought our coy lady of the Shows will no longer deny us.

FRANKFORT. Ky, Dec. l2.-After a lapse of more than thirty years, James B. McCreary, for the second time in his long career O: publIc ser vice. was today inaugurated governor Of eKntucky. The inauguration crowd was the largest ever seen here.
 The parade of military companies, democratic marching clubs, civic or ganizations and military cadets was the feature of the day Another fea- ture was the presence of hundreds of Confederate veterans, who were doubtless attracted to the inaugura- ton by the general feeling that Gov ernor McCreary prohaNly will be the last one of their number who will be chosen as chief executive of the Blue Grass State.
 The sovernor-elect and his family reached Frankfort last evening on a special train, accompanied by a large Richmond, and under the escort of q special legislative committee.
