' Washington Letter.

From Our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, D. C, Mar. 13th, '91. Mr. Harrison was fortunate in

beiug out ol towu this week. Ho escaped the first exuberance of the Blame Howlers, who have gone com- pletely wild, because the alleged re ciprocity treaty has been formally accepted by the Brazilian govern- ment, instead of being rejected as bad been rumored, and because the British government has agreed to submit the Behnug Sea dispute to arbitration, reserving the right to insist upon the payment of damages by this government for what it c ills the illegal seizure of vessels sailing under the British flag. Before crowning Mr. Blame king of the world ol diplomacy the Blainiaos should procure a copy of the dis- paich ol Lord Salisbury, sent to the Uiitish Minister here last Summer, which was a part of the correspoiis douce submitted to Congress at the hist, session. They will find that the proposition then made by Great liiitian to arbitrate was, with the'.in little things, such as may each in exception that it included the Ca- nadian fisheries dispute, substanti- ally the same as that now accepted by Lml Salisbury. If there has been auy diplomatic victory won in these negotiations Mr. Blame was not Its winner.

Notwithstanding the statenieut that Mr. Harrison had concluded not to make the appointuients of the nine United States Judges until Congress met again the ltepublie.au applicants lor these life time posi- tions are patiently waiting for him

How to be Independent.

Kernnersville New.i. To save is absolutely the only

way to amass a solid fortune, and if the wives of poor men would only realize this fact, it would be much the best Tor tl.em. People who start iu the woill without means must either lie content with poverty all through life, or be willing to don.v themselves many things, and save, to lay the basis of indepen- dence iu the future; there is no other certain mode. Yet we will hear many women, who indulge in dress entertaining and other luxu Ties far, far beyond their means, bemoan their misfortune in being poor. Fortunes do not come, as many suppose, by chance, and we make no more fatal mistake than iu that we are mere creatures of fate. Every one may make or mar his or her life whichever they may choose Fortune is for those who, by dili- gence, honestv anil fraugality plac- themselves in a position to grasp the boon. If houskecpeis would only study the art of beiug saving

itself seem insignificant, but, when put together amount to a great deal it would contribute vastly to tneir prosperity.

Then, to learn to curtail all uu- neccessary wants as well as to spend money always wisely and economi- cally, much suffering in old age would be avoided, aud many moie comfortable fortunes amassed. The best evidenccof frugality is a yeaily deposit let it be ever so small in a savings bank, and the .vay to roac'i this good fortune Is for women to

order to renew the seige. His os- tensible reason for tfoing to Mary- land «as to shoot wild ducks, but I think that his real reason was to escape the iinportuuilies of tbo "lame ducks" of his party. It is thought here that he will make these appointments before goiug to the Pacific Coast in search ol votes iu the next Republican national convention, ami the vote hunting jauut is to begin, very appropriate- ly, in the neighborhood of the first of April. Attorney General Miller is said to be studying the law under which these judges are to be ap- pointed, as doubts have been ex- pressed of its constitutionality.

Secretary Foster is in Ohio, but there is quite as much oonsterna- tion in the Treasury Department as there usually is upon a change of administration, and the impression is general that many heads arc to fall iu order to make places for Fos- ter's machine Republicans. Treas- urer Huston is expected to return to Washington to-morrow, but he will, they say at the department, again resume ljia duties, although his resignation has not been offici- ally accepted. There is a well de- fined rumor here that Mr. Harrison will try .to get rid of Huston by tendering him an important foreign mission. Private Secretary Halford says there is nothing in it, but it finds many believers nevertheless.

List night at the hotel at which Hon. William B. Morrison lives, there was a gathering of delighted Illinois Democrats exohauging con- gratulations upon the election of Gen. Palmer to the Uuited States Senate, and no one expressed more pleasure than Mr. Morrison, who bad been prominently mentioned as a candidate in case of the with- drawal of Gen. Palmer.

Republicans here take a special delight In (he knowledge that the extravagant appropriations of the last Congress will make a deficit in the Treasury which the incoming Democratic Congress will have to provide for, either by reducing ex- penses or increasing taxation, and thev actually have the "gall" to ex- press their didight to Democrats. Perhaps when the Democratic House begins to show up some of

0 jaracter Shown by Smoking.

If Pouvcnlr. If man smokes his cigar only to

keep it lighted aud relishes taking it out ot his mouth to watch the curl of the smoke in tho air, set him down as au easy going man. Be- ware of the man who never releases his grip on the cigar and is indiffer out whether it burns or uoi; he is cool, calculating, and exacting. The man that smokes a bit, rests a bit. and fumbles the cigar more or less is easily affected by Circumstances. It the Bigar goes out frequently, the smoker has a whole souled disposi-

| tlon, is a "hail fellows well met," with a lively brain, glib tongue, and generally a fund of capital anec dotes. A nervous man who fumbles bis cigar a great deal is a sort of poppinjay amoug men Holding the cigar constantly between tho teeth, ciiewiqg it occasionally, and not oaring if it be lighted at all are the characteristics of men who have the tenacity of bulldogs. Tho fob stands his cigar on the end and an experienced smoker prints it straight ahead or almost at right angles with bis course.

There is a Boy I Can Trust.

We once visited a public, eubool. At recess a little fellow came up and spoke to the teacher; as be turned to go down the platform, tbe master said: "That is a boy I can trust. He uever failed roe." We followed him with p,qr eye, and looked at him when he took bis seat after lecess. He had a fine, open manly face. We thought a good deal about the master's remark. Whnt a character had that boy earned. He bad already got what would be worth more to him than a fortune. It would be a passport into the best store iu tbo city, and, what is better, ir.to the confidence and respect of tbe whole communi- ty. We wonder it the boys know howsoqq they are rated by other people, Kvery boy in the neighbor- hood is known, and opinions are formed of bim ; he bas a character

tbe fiuanoial crookedness of the I eituer favorable or unfavorable. A majority in the last Congress, as it: j^y of whom the master can say. is almost certain to do these fellows will not feel quite so gleeful.

It is conjectured by some that the lynching at New Orleans will prevent Italy from haying any- thing to do with the World's Fair at Chicago.

The Mississippi riyer is rising again. Whether it will be such a flood as that of last year or not cannot yet be told. Tbo levees haye broken in some places.

Errors will creep into the best regulated newspapers sometime, and we suppose that will account for a batch of items clipped from the REFLECTOK being credited to another paper in the State news department of Friday's Wilming- ton Star.

Ex-Senator In galls says that President Harrison will bo the nominee of the Republican party with but little or no opposition ; also he says Mr. Cleveland will be the nominee of the Demo- crats. Mr. Dana of the New Yoi k Sun says Mr. Blaine will be the Republican nominee if he wants it, and it is not probable he will refuse it. It will not sur- prise us much if both are mistaken. So far as Mr. Harrison is con- cerned we just as soon see him nominated as any other Republi- can, for he could doubtless be easily beaten. As for Mr. Cleve- land it would hardly be, wise to put him up under the present state of public feelings in regard to free coinage.

The election of Gen. John M. Palmer to the United States Sen- ate by the Illinois legislature was worth all the patient waiting through the apparently endless deadlock. Patience, persistence and popularity are valuable aids in "getting there,'" and don't you let it slip from your mind.

This seems to be a season of wrecks at sea. A great number of lives are constantly being re- ported as lost. The steamer Utopia is among the latest victims of the sea. The lives lost were near five hundred. The value of the ship and the cargo was about $700,000 nothing covered by in- surance.

Attorney-General Miller says the President has the right to ap- point the judges for the new courts established by the last Congress. In this he has the best legal talent the country has ever had against Mm. It has always before been held by constitutional lawyers that a new office could not be treated as a vacancy. This seems to be the idea of the President also.

{ Hon. James Grant, who was a native of North Carolina, but had been several years in Iowa, recent- ly died. He was an alumnus of our State University. Ho had amassed great wealth, and was very liberal with it. Last June he gave $8,000 to the Chair of His- tory at the University of North Carolina. It is pleasing to note how the hearts of native North Carolinians turn to our State when they are in other States.

From the reading of the Basic City Advance it seems that Basic City, Va., is on a veritable boom. They have push, pluck and capital there, and these taken together generally make things hum. We wish we could have a plenty of them here. We need life, energy, push, pluck and capital in a great- er degree than we have had them in the past. Greonville has a good opening. We need manufactur- ing enterprises. Who will take hold of it?

It is against the principles of our government for one man to ,hold more than one office at the same time, yet Go v. Hill, of New York, is trying to straddle both the Senatorship and Governorship. He has been elected tj the Sena- torship, and his term commenced March 4th, and ho is entitled to his pay from that time. But he feas refused to resign the office of Governor until next December when Congress meets. Gov. Hill is looming up as a Presidential candidate, but he should not show himself so greedy of office. It will tend to weaken rather than strengthen him. It does not show well in a man to hold two offices and want a third one.

Lynch law is always tobede-,, precated, even though the course of justice be sometimes turned aside by or through corrupt meth- ods, but there are mitigating cir- cumstances in the case of the citi- zens of New Orleans who recently lynched twelve members of the Mafia, an outlawed society organ- ized for plunder and murder. These men had been acquitted by the intimidation and bribery of the jury, in the face of evidence of the most positive and convinc- ing kind of the guilt of a number of them of having been in a con- spiracy which resulted in the cold- blooded murder of the chief of police of that city. The mob which lynched these prisoners was composed of the leading citi- zens of New Orleans, many of whom carried in their pockets the "death warnings" issued by the Mafia, and who deemed it a ques- tion of life or death, whether they or the Mafia should be extermina- ted. Before condemning the ac- tion of these threatened citizens who linyc for months been com- pelled to take every precaution to prevent their own assassination it is well to read the opinions of those great commercial bodies, the Board of Trade, the Sugar Ex- change and the Stock Exchange, of New Orleans, as expressed in the following preamble and reso- lution unanimously adopted by them all on the afternoon of the day the lynching took place :

WHKHK.\S. The deplorable lulniinistra- lien of criminal justice in this city, and the frightful extent to which the lirlbery of juries lias been carried, has rendered it nece«sary for the citizens of New Or- leans to vindicate outraged justice. !>e it

Beaekti, That while we deplore at all times the resort to violence, we consider the action taken by the citizens this mornins to be proper and justifiable.

The Italian government has pro- tested and Mr. Harrison has for- warded a communication to the Governor of Louisiana calling his attention to the treaty obligations which compel us to protect citi- zens of foroign countries Mr. Blaine has an opportunity. Let him show the world the why and wherefore of this unfortunate oc- currence, and givo the citizens of New Orleans the hearing they are entitled to.

The Republican editors through the country seem to dwell with much bitterness on the fact that Senator Palmer was once a Re- publican and turned a Democrat. It stings them very much for one Of their number to turn against them. Gen. Palmer saw the error of his way, and like every true man, turned from it. It is worth noting also that he was a Repub- lican only a short while. We guess he is not tainted with Re- publicanism enough to show them muc :i fayors, and that is just what they do not like. It is a noticable fact that many honest Republicans torn Democrats, while it is only the rotten and corrupt Democrats who han Republicans in order to be in their own element. Gen. Palmer is a good Democrat and that is what hurts his enemies.

We have read of several cases of lynching, but never have seen one so little condemned as the re- cent affair at New Orleans. It can hardly be called lynching in its true sense. It was done by the best and hitherto most law abiding citizens of the city. Last October Chief Police Hennessey, ia the discharge of his duty, was assas- sinated by the Mafia, an organiza- tion of outcast Italians, who had fled justice in their own land. Hennessey was trying to find out something about them, and about some murders they had committed when they set upon him and foully murdered him. The people of New Orleans haye long been noted as a law abiding people, and though they knew that they had been outraged by this secret or- ganization of foreigners, yet they preferred to let the law take its course. In due time the murder- j era were brought to trial, and I though the evidence was clear and convincing enough to convict any one, they were cleared by the cor- ruption of judge and jury. It was then that the indignation of hon- est people burst forth, and they coolly and deliberately deteimined to take the law in their own hands. Accordingly they visited the pris- on and without disguise put eleven of the murderers out of the way. If this had not been done, if the Mafia had not thus been punished, it would have been giving them license to do anything they please, and not only the Mafia, but any other secret organization. We do not in any sense approve of lynch- ing, and it is to be deplored that the necessity of such a thing ever exists. While the people did this we do not think they are responsi- ble for it. The responsibility must rest upon the judge and jury who, in violation of their sworn duty, failed to do their duty. This was one case of necessary and justifiable lynching; and it is to be hoped that the effect of it will tend to prevent the repetition of such crimes by the Mafia, or any other organization. The REFLKCTOB hopes it will never be necessary for another such thicg to happen in onr country.

General Joseph E. Johnston died in Washington Saturday night The entire South will mourn his death. He was a typi- cal Southerner, and was one of the best Generals of the late war, and at the beginning was commander in-chief of all the Confederate armies. He was the man whose retreats the Yankees feared. He was the man who unveiled the Lee Monument last May. He had reached a ripe age and was per- haps the oldest Confederate Gen- eral. He died beloved by his people.

Second Annual Convention Pitt County Sunday School Association.

MORNING SESSION.

The convention met in the Baptist Church in Greenville Thursday morning, March 19, 1891, at 10:30 o'clock. In the absence of the Pres- ident Rev. G. A. Oglcsby was chosen to preside over this meeting.

The session was opened with re1* ligious exercises conducted by Rev. R. B. John, who also explained the objects and aims of the Sunday School Convention work.

On mo'ion the chairman appointed a committee of five on nomination, to wit: Wiley Brown. R. B. John, B. D. Evana, I* A. Mayo and D. J. Wbichard.

On motion the chairman appointed a committee of five on statistics, to>» wit: J. White, A. D. Hunter, R D. Carroll, R. F. Taylor and J. L. Win- field. Statistical reports were taken from the schools represented.

Adjourned to meet at 2:30 P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION.

Convention reassembled at 2:30, i.nd opened with singing, prayer by Rev. A. D. Hunter.

Minutes of mornins session read approved.

Committee on statistics appointed at the morning session made their re port by churches and schools giving number of officers and teachers and pupils of each schools, and was con tinned until the night session to summarize the statistics denomina tionally.

Rev. A. D. Hunter addressed the convention on the Organization of Sunday Schools, lie gave some practical suggestions as to selection of superintendent and teachers; some teachers are better qualified in cer- tain departments of the work than "'. Iiers. The very best teacher in the school should be placed in charge of the infant class. He wanted to sec every church have a special room provided for use of the infant class. Where sufficient number of teachers can be had six pupils are enough for one class, however a large class in the hands of a good teacher is prefer- able to a small class in the bauds of a Sorry teacher. ■ 

Preparation for Sunday School Teaching was discussed by llcv. It. B. John. Preparation absolutely neces- sary and should be careful. Sunday- School teaching is a high privilege as well as a great responsibility. Prep- aration is divided into two clacses-- gcneral and special—the first being the preparation for any lesson, the latter for the special lesson for the day. In general preparation, have a knowledge of the Bible and its his- tory; understand something of the condition of those to be taught ami possess some of the laws of teaching. In special preparation aim to under- stand the meaning of the hssou be- fore you; study this with a view ol salilying your own spiritual needs and supplying them to the pupil. Analyze the subject in hand, locate the lime, place and persons connect- ed with it. Bring out the facts, dif- ficulties, doctrines and duties. Study the paralel passages of Scrip- ture and have a forccaste of the meaning. The teacher in thin pre- paring a lesson digs truths out of the Bible, that bring joy to his own sou' and make him a power in the work.

Adjourned to 7.40 P. M. NIGHT SESSION.

Convention reassembled at 7:30, opened with religious f.-xeruisos. Prayer by J. White.

Oommittcc on nominations made the following report which was adopted: BEPOBT OF COM. ON NOMINATIONS. For President, D. J. Whicbard. For Vice President, E. A. Moye. For Recording Sec, Wiley Brown. For Cor. Sec, A L. Blow. Township Vice Presidents.— Greenville Township, P. L. James.

ing countries which commenced about 1870 and proved to he a war not only of devastation but almost of extermination, lie imagined that Heaven would be populated in very much this proportion, because the large majority of the men are allow- ing the many bins and vices of the world to sweep them into the p -at macl strom of eternal loss. It is .oo much the fashion with us to 1< .ve matters of religion with the wom.n. Even male' members of the church leave Sunday School work with the women and children.- Man boasts of his mental superiority over woman but fails to put it to'good use in Christ's cause. Man has superior for work as he can go into dives ol sin ;.nd misery and bring out the waifs o'.' en lound there and take them to San ! ly School. The women cannot go lo these places because there arc so many—members of the church among them—ready to point the finger of scorn and derision and call her a re- ligious crank. Is Sunday School work a good work. If so it is as good for men to engage in as for wo- men. He also spoke of the Bible, the Book ol Books, and the beauty of its study. There is great difference be- tween a reader of the Bible and a student of the Bible. The Sunday School system of study affords the best means of learning the Bible. Since .he reunited with the Sunday School a few years ago and closely followed the system of Bible study laid down, he had learned more of the truths the blessed Book contains than he hail in thirty years given to read- ing n chapter here and there. Church membership is a high privi- lege, and carried with it the obliga- tion of giving heed to all church du- ties and work. Look at the example the men arc setting. They are watch ed by the boys who follow in their foolseps. Suppose wc could get all the male members of the church to go regularly to Sim day School, what a difference it would "make in the boys of this community.

Rev. G. A. Oglesby next addressed the meeting on How to Teach a Class. To do a thing a man must be in accord with that which he is to do. In teaching there must be some- thing in common between teacher and pupil that will draw them to- gether and win their attention, or nothing will be accomplished. The teacher must come down to a level with the scholar and get hold of him. He has been mingling with the world all the week and must be drawn to the truth. Secure their attention apt illustrations a good method of doing this. Voluntary and inquiring attention is wonted. Tho teacher to command this attention is tie one who has first made preparation and must be full of enthusiasm. Certain characteristic! in children are to be utilized.

Mr. Jos. P. Elliott, of Baltimore, was asked to say a few words, which he did, upon the close relation ex- isting between the church and the Sunday School. Live, active, work- ing Sunday Schools are always ac companicd by live, active, working churches, and vice versa.

Mr. Nicholson, of Baltimore, was also present and by request made a few remarks. Said" he was not much of a speaker, but was always glad to say a word in behalf of Sunday Schools. He referred to that part of Gov. Jarvia' address concerning the study of tho Bible and enlarged somewhat upon it.

A collection of 810 was asked for lo meet the pledge made for Pitt county lo the Stale Sunday School work. The nmiunt was easily rais ed.

The convention then adjourned.

Two Items • The REFLECTOR is indebted to Mr.

B. II. Ilcarne for Hie two items below. Mrs. Isabella Moore, mother of

Mrs. B. H. Heart >, is the mother of 12 children, grandmother of 25 chil- dren and great-grandmother of one child. Only one of this entire num- ber has died, and that was one of her boys who received a wound and died during the war: She is 69 years old, hale and hcarti, and always ready for work. It is remarkable that no natural death has occurred in so large a family.

It i:; time for people lo prepare their meat to keep out vermin. A sure way is to dip the meat In bail- ing water, take it out and cover the flesh side with dry corn meal, hang it up, smoke it a little more and let it remain hanging. When tho weath- er is damp or "givy" smoko a little with sap piuc. Follow this method and you will not be troubled with bags, skippers or worms. Try it.

The following are the brands of Guano which —we handle—

Tinsley's Special Bright To- bacco Fertilizers.

This is the richest, highest grade Fertilizer offered for sale in the State. It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright To- bacco, and there is no guano sold in the State which stands so well. We can only refer to the parties in this vicinity who used it last year. They haye all notified us that they will use it again this year, Call to see us and get the analysis and book of test! monials.

Capital Tobacco Fertilizer. This is a brand of Fertilizer which though new to this vicinity,

hasan established reputation in several other States as being un- excelled as a fertilizer lor the production of fine Bright Tobacco. It is especially prepared for the culture of Bright Tobacco and as we have sold it several years before we unhesitatingly recommend it as being as good aa the best.

National Fertilizer. This is a very high grade guano, which has been used very ex-

tensively in this State on both Tobacco and Cotton. The best thing we can say for it is that we have sold it for 8 years and have never seen any one who was not pleased with it.

Pocomoke Guano. Is well known all through Eastern Carolina as one of the best

producing', fertilizers for all crops ever offered for sale. It is a very rich high grade guano, made out of the best material, and Las never failed to give entire satisfaction. The raanfactnrers offer 10 premiums, aggregating several hundred dollars, for the most cotton raised on a single acre of land with Pocomoke Guano. Call and get their book of testimonials with directions as to how to com pete for these premiums.

Beef, Blood and Bone. Is a brand which has never been offered for sale here before.

Bnt we know it to be a first-class standard fertilizer, as we have sold it before. It is made by a house which stands at the head of the list for making honest, high grade fertilizers. As its name signifies it is composed mainly of animal matter, flesh, blood and bone, scraps which they obtain from the large slaughter houses of the West. We have a large supply of

Pure German Kainit —AND HIGH GRADE-

Acid Phosphate, Which we will sell yery low. We think we can make it to yonr interest to see us before buying any of your fertilizers. As we control the sale of these goods for all this section, and bny in very large quantities, we are prepared to make very close figures to other merchahts, and we want a good representative in each locality to whom we will sell at factory prices.

".Are you tired, Johnf Curiously unnerved for a man of robust

pl.ysique and ordinarily normal imag- j ination. Royal let these strangers have : tb»ir way with him. thankful for the res-' pile which their quiet acceptance of him I asm He avoided looking at the bride, ' drnading t. • meet her glance lest it should urfit him for his part, for with the eight of the crowd his desire to explain matters withdrew into the background. This m not the time, nor was it the place. Tfae i.ffair had developed complications for which he was totally unprepared, and he wanted time to think, to assimi-1 late and readjust. The sequence of events had been so different from his own pre- conceived arrangement of them that his mind'for the moment was thrown out of gear, and stood supine, accepting that which came as though it were a finality.

The thing most evident to him was that he had ensnared himself with a net- work of egregious blundering, and that egress from it, to be graceful or even endurable, would require more skill of management than he had any right to accredit himself with possessing. The terms in which he apostrophized him- self summed up the case, and were none the less hearty and comprehensive for being inwardly given. "Of all the inter- mixldling, dunderheaded fools in this world." so r;. his thoughts, "you are entitled to the lead. Hart Royal. And a beautiful mess you've gotten yourself in:o this time, with your damned offi- aonsDess!"

The preoccupation of his manner and tha careworn expression of his face caused the peoplo to surmise that lie mast be in acute physical pain. For the few moments allowed to friends at coun- try weddings—even church weddings— they crowded round him, striving to re- call themselves to his memory, and speaking pitifully of the accident and enthusiastically of his pluck in not al- lowing it to interfere with his marriage. They were so kind and cordial that Royal could have gnashed his teeth and shouted at them that he was no better than an impostor. Instead of which he nailed his false colors to the mast, as it

were, and smiled and bowed and shook hand:, with everybody.

Hi* brain worked with feverish rapid- ity, and by the time they had shut him into Squire Brandon's carriage for the short drive to the house, where the young lady would change her dress for the wedding journey, a sense of the protasaaeness of his own position touch- ed mm, bringing with it a sudden strong desire to laugh, and creating a reaction which restored equilibrium. He had made a mess of it, he was willing to ad- mit, but circumstances had seemed to wall him into a narrow track, along which he had cantered like the most obliging of donkeys. At this stage of the proceedings "hindsight" did little good and was provocative of exaspera- tion, and of reliable foresight he was fans, in all humility of soul, to confess hintealf destitute. There was nothing for it but to face the situation in the present and endeavor to adjust it with the minimum of pain and discomfort all around The only solution which sug- gested itself was to carry out the plan as originally proposed, striving to blunder less in the end than be had done in the beginning. He would take the young lady straight to John Royal, making such explanation to her as would insure her recognition of the love and anxiety for her future which had been the main- spring of a scheme which he BOW de- nounced as idiotic.

In the presence of the dying man all personal pique, all womanly sensitive- ness, would shrivel and vanish before the majesty of love and the awful mystery of that which was to come. A strange journey it would be, with a strange end- ing. For the first time came realization is? the natter from the woman's stand- point, and with it a great piiy for her iind a strong desire to shield her from the •somment, curiosity and multiplicity of detail to which his story must give rise, at least until this travesty of marriage ixmld be made real by the true man's ac- rnowledgment of it. He would keep his own counsel until he should have given the wife into the keeping of her husband, md then it would be time enough to ad- text the outside world to enter upon ex- planations and ***w justification.

Arrived at a definite conclusion, he jqoared his shoulders and put aside that strange sense of irrevocability and per- sonal implication which had oppressed

during the ceremony. In truth, little time for thought, leas

for analysis: the need Cor action was (tiD omnipresent He turned to look, for the first time definitely, at John Royal's bride.

As he did so a low laugh startled him, and a hand was thrust out to touch his arm and then withdrawn. It was glove- leas, and on the third finger gleamed the jnsrariags ring. She was enveloped in a €atr* wrap which —MM her white dress, and her head and face were hid- «M> nnder folds of soft dark tisane, from wsyich, at throat and crown, the lace of & bridal veil peeped forth, like white

tor hours—of the true state ot the case? Then he comforted himself with the re- flection t-iat when the matter should be made j.lan to her she would appreciate his conduct.

"Are you tired, John?" It was the young lady who broke the

silence. "No," he answered, surprised It seemed odd to him. at the moment,

that the woman should put that ques- tion to the man.

"You were so quiet that I had to laugh It seemed so funny to sit up like two owls, never saying a word to one an- other," she proceeded "We are cousins, yon know, John, just the same as we used to be. But perhaps you are in pain?"—with a quick change of voice. "Are you? Tell me at once. Ought you to have come? I know it was the money and that foolish clause in the will about today. But for that we might easily have waited until you were strong again. Isn't traveling bad for you?"

"Not at all bad," Royal hastily re- sponded "On the contrary, it is the very best thing in the world for me— indeed, for us both I'm much stronger than you suppose." He could hardly re- strain a smile as he made I he assertion. "The plans must not be changed. We must leave by that 230 train. It is im- perative that we should. You are ready, I suppose?"

He intended to take her whether she should be or not, but put the question from sheer nervousness. Anything was better than sitting beside her in a state of absolute passivity.

"Oh, yes. My trunks were packed some days ago, and all the arrangements made. You were so explicit—so-so masterful"—with another rippling laugh "You have not changed in that, John. Yon love your own way still. Is it not so? But the arrangements need make no difference. We can stay over a day or two to rest if it will be better for you. You will like to see the old place and to visit Aunt Anne's grave. She was so fond of you. We could stop over for that."

But Royal would not hear of stopping over for anything. His private feeling toward the deceased lady was one of dis- tinct animosity. He hoped orthodoxly and vengef tuly that she might be doing spiritual penance for the trouble and dis- tress likely to be entailed by the acts of her material life, and would gladly have known that she was aware of the mis- carriage of her plans and greatly tor- mented thereby. He generalized for a moment in regard to the old home and the desire to see it which he was expected to feel; but he made it evident that he intended to leave by tho first down train.

Unlike brides in general, this young lady appeared docile and amenable to an exceptional degree. Royal, in the midst •f his anxiety, wondered over her, and felt the ROUI within him moved to grati- tude. Then his professional experience reminded him that women are usually submissive to the power conferred by Buffering. In the eyes of this woman he, perhaps, appeared a wounded hero.

Her next words made evident that such was indeed the case.

"That horrible accident," she mur- mured, and a quick shudder ran through her frame. "I can't help feeling that half lias not been told me—that you have all conspired to keep the worst back and make light of it, in order to spare me pain. You poor fellow! how you must have suffered! It was terrible —a home coming like that, after six years' exilo. When I think of it all—of what yon have done for me—of what you are doing for me and enduring for my sake—and then think of the anxiety in store for you—for ns both—I feel that a lifetime of love and devotion will hardly pay interest on the debt I owe you. Am I worth it to you, John? Will I ever be worth it to you?"

Her voice trembled a little, and Royal had an intuition that she was holding back tears. He felt a sudden stricture of the heart, as though the blood had been drained away. This was not the happy chatter of a girl bride, loving and beloved. Through this woman's voice pulsed an undercurrent of pathos, thrill- ing its sweetness like minor chords in music. He felt, somehow, that in spite of his best endeavor he was taking un- fair advantage of the man who had trusted him, was getting a glimpse into arcana which no stranger unauthorized should penetrate. His pity grew apace, and beside it developed a devouring curiosity, until his very breast seemou strained by stress and complexity of emotion. He yearned to apeak to her, but durst not for lack of proper words and an assured position, and so dumbly waited, feeling that if she should con- tinue to talk in that strain during the rest of the drive he could not be held ac- countable for his actions.

She did not appear to notice his silence or to be hurt by it; perhaps she was in some subtle way conscious of the tension of his mood, or she may have been pre- occupied by her own thoughts. For a little space there was silence.

"That old time is so long ago that yon can't love me in the old way, John. It isn't possible. There has been so much in your life—change, adventure and quantities of new and interesting people. Not quite in the old way, but enough still to enable me to develop a new and stronger love. They say a love increases with the strain put on it, and in that case yours will grow as compact and firm as the heart of an oak. That's pretty to think of, isn't it?" Then with a sudden change of tone: "It is six years since we have seen each other, John. Just think of it! They say that I have changed very little, and I suppose yon would have known me anywhere. Have you changed, I wonder? Let me see."

Royal involuntarily turned his face away and drew his breath hard. This was the moment he had dreaded; for if she should detect the imposture there would be the end of his scheme for spar- ing her still a little while. And how would it be possible for her not to detect it? She must have had a series of photo- graphs of the other John Royal during those years, pictures that would have chronicled each gradation of change. There was no help for it, however, so ha braced bis nerves and faced round half defiantly toward her.

The veil still covered her face, and she made no effort to withdraw it. Ban had taken off her other glove, and hex hands lay together in her lap. flan seemed to feel that be was bending to- ward her, that his eyes were on her, and lifted her hands and tonohad hkCaot and his hair gently and liagerlngly with the tips of her fingers. With asadden- n*L a* overwhelming as would be tha extinction of tight on a fair day, the con- viction came to Royal that the girl at his side was blind.
