two terms and Wallace had follow

Condemned.

The cOurt-martial began it's session
at nine in the morning, and the trial
of Hardy was over before three in the
afternoon. Vandervyn testified to the
suppression by the accused of the ex-
istence Of the developed mine and of
Redbear'S misconduct.
Hardy's statements in explanation
of his actions We're as brief as they
were cold and dry. Acting as civil
officer, he had considered the question
of Withholding any mention of the
mine as a matter Wstlin his discretion.
When Intercepted whether he had not
taken advantage Of this suppression
to enter the contest and win the mine
for himself, his bald admission of the
fact, unaccompanied by any eXplana-
ton of his motives, was received by
his officer judges with marked gravity.
The other charges were far more
serious, ana lie opposed them with

tenti0n to desert Or to remain perma-
nently absent from his proper duties

Meat forms uric acid which excites

have rheumatic twingcs. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get

fitting at WindmiIIs.

The early winter rains that followed
an ideal Indian summer at the national
capital were chill and sleety But con-
gress was now in session, and Wash
ington was bright and gay with the
activities Of 0fficialdOm and official So
ciety.
One of the first events of the season
had been ball in honor of the superb
French beauty and heireSS, Miss Du-
pont. She had arrived with a matron
" French lady well known in Partisan
society; q tall, Olive-tinted maid, who
was said TO be of Spanish or Hindu
origin; and male relative Monsieur
Jacques Dupont, who spoke French
with French-Canadian idiOms and Eng
fish with q quaint Sprinkling of west
ern AmericaniSms. BY those who saw
him before they had the pleasure and
privilege of meeting Miss Dupont he
was said to be quite impossible" But
after meeting her, they usually agreed
with the general verdict that he was
decidedly amusing and 'picturesquo.'
Letters to the wives of three or four
ambassadors opened to the heiresS the
doors of the most exclusive official
society, and her wonderful beauty and
charm carried all before her by storm.
Men rayed over her eyes women over
her French gowns. She soon had a
suite of devoted admirers and suitOrs
among whom, despite his engagement
to the daughter of his eminent uncle,
Mr.. Reginald Vandervyn was one Of
the most ardent.
All this had come to Hardy through
society reports i'll the newspapers and
from the chance remarks of acQuaint-
ances. The remarks very seldom were
made by persons fortunate enough to
have attended functions graced by the
presence of Miss Dupont Hardy's
neatly kept clothes were somewhat out
of style, and his lodgings, in an old
warren down on NJ street, were cheap
and shabby.
There were still better reasons for
the worldly wise to shun the company
of the officer so lately distinguished
for his services in the Philippines. 1t
was whispered that the interests for
which he had been diligently lobbying
since midsummer We're opposed to the
interests of the pro-administration
group of which the eminent Senator
Clemmer was the leader. More openly
the fact was bruited about that he
was to be subjected to trial by court
martial on grave charges.
For he was still in the service.
Upon his return from the hard-won
race for the mine, he had filed his
claim with the commissioners, and
journeyed on as soon as possible to
the railroad. There he had sold his
mare at q low price, but with the OPP
ton of buying her back within a year.
He had then started east, too intent
