STATE OF HYSTfRIA
 EXISTS IN NEW YORK
People are Frantic Now to Punish WrOngdOerS, and Fever Catches Hold of COurtS-POlitical
 Activity Is Great.

New York, \. Y, June 1.-The usual political spring move now is being made.
 At this season the politicians who braveIy have struggled for the re- form of the citys government get busy and start to make up tickets to oppose movements that are to result in the election of a man who will work for the interests of the people and not for any political or ganization. Sometimes it is a Citi- zens' Union that takes the field, sometimes it is an Independence League, and again it is the Fusion sts.
 This year the committee that is working for a reform mayor is called the Citizens Committee. The political situation is waxing warm, and the mayoralty campaign prom ises 10 be much warmer.
 Lawyers say that so strong is public opinion in favor of punish ing wrongdoers, especially if they be men in public life, that a feeling that can only be called hysteria exists. This feeling unconsciously, attorneys assert, has even reached the courts, and it is almost impos- Sible for any one against whom there is any kind of evidence to escape severe punishment. Killers, gunmen grafters. bribers and bribe-takers have been arraigned one after the other and sent lover the road
 In the law courts these men are presumed to be innocent until their guilt is proven-this as a matter of course-but not so with the public. Ii is enough to accuse a man; his guilt is then declared.
 Perhaps this hysteria may not be such a bad thing; for certainly jus tice has rarely miscarried. Only in two eases where men have been convicted in this county within the last year has there been a mistake made; and in one of these cases the decision of the lower court has been reversed.

CHAPTER XIV.
Mahomed Offers Freedom.


 Fortune had slept, but only afte, hours of watchful terror. The slight est sound outside the tent sent { scream into her throat, but she sue, ceeded each time in stifing it. Onc4 the evil laughter of a hyera came ovet her ears, shivering. Alone! She laid her head upon the wadded saddle-baga and wept silently, and every sob tora at her heart She must keep up the farce of being brave when she knew that she wasn't. The men must not be discouraged Her department of weakness upon her side would cor responsingly depress them the more. She prayed to God to give her tho strength to hold out. She was afraid of Mahomed; she was afraid of h.s grim smile, afraid of his mockine eyes; she could not sponge out tho scene wherein he had so gratuitously kicked Horace in the side. Horace! No, she did not believe that she would ever forgive him for this web which he had spun and fallen into himself. Two things she must hide for the sake of them all her fear of Mahom- ed and her knowledge of Ryanne's trickery.
 What part in this tragedy had tho Arab assigned her? Her fingers twined and untwined, and she rocked and rocked bit her lips, lay down, sat up and rocked again. But for the ex- haustion, but for the insistent call of nature, she would never have closed her eyes that night.
 And her mother! What would her mother believe, after the scene that had taken place between them? What could she believe, save that her daugh- ter had fulfilled her threat, and run away? And upon this not unreason- able supposition her mother would make no attempt to find out what had become of her. Perhaps she would be glad. glad to be rid of her and her questions. Alone! Well, she had al ways been alone.
 The only ray of sunshine in all was the presence of Jones. She felt, subtly, that he would not only stand between her and Mahomed, but also between her and Ryanne.

 You don't understand" replied Ry- anne miserably.
 T believe l do." Georges heart was heavy. This man was in love with her, too.
 Ryanne struck the tears from his eyes and turned aside his head. He was sick in soul and body. To have walked blindly into trap like this, of his own making, too! Fool! What had possessed him, usually so keen, to trust the copper-hided devil? All Tor the sake of one glass of wine! With an effort entailing no meager pain in his side, he stilled the strang' ling hiccoughs, swung round and tried to smile reassuringly at the girl.
 You are better?" she asked.
 There was in the tone of that ques- ton an answer to all his dreams. One nights work had given him his ticket 10 the land of those weighed and found wanting. She knew; how much he did not care; enough to read his guilt.
 It appeared to George that she was accepting the situation with philos' ophy deeper than either his or Ky annes. Not a whimper. not a plaint, not a protest so far had she made, She was Roland in petticoats.
 Oh, I'm bashed up a bit." said Ky anne. "I1l gst my legs in a day or so. Fortune. will you answer one question:"

 How did you get here?"
 Don't you know?"
 George wasn't certain, but the girls voice was cold and accusing.
 'T?"
 Yes. Wasn't it the note that you wrote to mel"
 Ryanne took his head in his hands, "earily. T wrote you no note, For tune; l have never written you note ot any kind. You do not know my handwriting from Adams. In Gods name. why didn't you ask your mother or your uncle? They would have rec osniSed the forgery at once. Who gave 1t to your"
