the pieces flew. That gentleman red

the salutation. Not until the rear car
disappeared in the hazy distance did
the watchers stir. Then they left the

The ways and means OF raising
money to carry on a contest with
Mexico ia the most important question
that congress has to consider. All
sorts of methods are discussed, in

the old financial levies known as the

We assume, without question, that

were productive of a large revenue.
and were popular and efficient war
taxes in every way. But we beg to
suggest, very respectfully that con-
gress take up seriously the idea Of
restoring the duty on sugar that was
needlessly taken of in the last tariff
bill. The cost Of collecting the duty
was trivial, and whether the tariff
rate on sugar was raised or lowered
did not change the price to the con-
sumner one whit.
The FIRST reduction Of the sugar
duty under the new tariff took effect
on March /, and the larger reduction
does not take effect until May 1 two
years hence However. even as 1t Is.
the proceeds OF our customs duties are
already 327.0oO.00O less for the cur.
rent fiscal year than they were for
the previous year, and IL the entire
reductions on sugar contemplated in
the present law we're in effect at this
moment they would cause a loss OF
$25, 100000 in addition to the $4,000
900 that has already occurred.
In 1912, the last year OF the old
tariff. the revenue from the sugar
duties amounted to little over nifty
million dollars. What possible reason
Is there why the government of the
United States should not be once
more In receipt Of this sum. at least
while the Mexican war lasts. II. as
the administration had apparently an
free sugar" had resulted In
a perceptible lowering OF the cost OF
sugar to the family, the case would
be different. But no shadow Of the
be-desired result can be per
ceived even by the most optimistic.

there arrived the other day on the Pa
Ciflc coast from China a ship carrying
a thousand tons OF eggs. The actual
number was 6,792.36O. Most OF these
we're consigned to points in the United

The purpose OF removing the tariff
In the minds OF the removers was To

CHAPTER v.


The most beautiful blue Irish eyes
In the world gazed out at the dawn
which turned night-blue into day-blue
and paled the stars. Rosal lay the un
dulating horizon, presently to burst in
to living flame, transmitting the dull
steel bars Of the window into fairy
gold. that trick Of alchemy so futilely
sought by man. There was a window
at the north and another at the south,
likewise barred; but the Irish eyeB
never sought these two. II was from
the east window only that they could
see the long white road that led to
Paris.
The nightingale was truly Gagged.
But the wild heart Of the eagle beat
in this nishtingale's breast, and the
eyes burned as 1ercely toward the
east as the east burned toward the
west. Sunday and Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday and Thursday, today; ;
and that the five dawns we're eingu-
lar in beauty and that she had never

made no impression upon her sense OF
the beautiful. so delicate and receptive
ir ordinary times. She was conscious
that within her the cup OF wrath was
overlooking. OF other things, such as
eating and sleeping and moving about
in her cage (more like an eagle in
deed than a nisht!ngalc). recurrence
had blunted her perception.
"Oh. but he shall pay. he shall pay!"
she murmured, striving to loosen the
bars with her small. white. helpless
hands. The cry seemed to be an arl-
eta. for through all these four mad
dening days she had voiced it-now
low and deadly with hate, now full.

sobs of despair. will you never

and vile you are?" she further ad.
dressed the east.
She had waited for his appearance
on Sunday. Late in the day one OF the
jailers had informed her that it was
impossible for the gentleman to come
before Monday. So she marshaled her
army OF phrases, Of accusations, OF de-
nunciations, ready to smother him
with them the moment he came. But
he came not Monday. nor Tuesday.
nor Wednesday. The suspense was to
her mind diabolical. She began to un-
derstand he intended to keep her
there till he was sure that her spirit
was broken, then he would come.
Break her spirit? She laughed wildly.
He could break her spirit no more
easily than she could break these
bars. To bring her to Versailles upon
an errand of mercy! Well. he was
capable OF anything.
She was not particularly distressed
because she knew that II would not be
possible for her to sing again until the
following winter In New York. She
had sobbed too much, with her face
buried in the pillow. Had these sobs
been born OF weakness. all might have
been well; but rage had mothered
them, and thus her voice was In a
very bad way. This morning she was
noticeably hoarse, and there was a
break in the arietta. No, she did not
fret over this side OF the calamity. The
sting OF II all lay In the fact that she
had been outraged in the matter of
liberty. with no act OF re-
prisal to ease her immediate longing
to be avenged.
