C H A r X K U I I I . I wake frnm a long, long sloop—a

slnop wliifili has boon tronblod with strnngo ilroillns, sometimes graciona oiios. Cull of the presence of Marnscha, when I have felt the sootliing toncli of Iter liallds, looked into the deep bine wells of her eyes, lllid vaguely soon, falhomod lllere, a weiiltli oC love, and pntioucc, and Iiit.v, 'I'llero is a dolicioits perfnuio of l'oses ilr the air, roininding fo of llio roses in Ihe air, roniiilding mo of the lioiilo ill T\:lel)".

Hilt 1 nm not at hoiile. M y eyes have licglln lo wander from one detail to ilil-•otlier of my siirroilndings; tho dainty toilet tablo w l lh its galizy drapery tied Wllh knots of blue rilibons; tho banging book shelves against tlio wal l Illlod with brightly hound vnlimies; the eriiti.son •cnrtaiii of tho portiere that runs along •one entire side—:\fiirnscha's room is di­vided by a crimson portiere! Tlio vase Will i rosea on the l i l l lo table hy my bod. I gave that vaso to l.tarusclia!

There is a stir at tlie other side of 'the portiere, and instantly hor sweet face appears at tlio opening in tlie cur­tains. I ,soe the liglit of a groat joy leap suddenly to hor eyes,

"Vlad imi r ! " Tlioro is a whole world of joy in lier ntloranco. She has my band in hers, and our eyes moot in one lonf,' look of unntternblo satisfaction.

" M y dove!" I niuriiinr. She puts her finger on hor lips. H e r

face is radiant with smiles, nnd shining like tho morning star from the golden

•sotting of her liair. " M y bountiful one!" '"I'hou must not tallc, but sleep ngnin,

m y Vlad imi r ! " She is withdrawing her liand, and I

feebly catch nt it. She w i l l vanish, this •angelic vision, nnd leave ine in dnrkncs.?.

"I go but to got thee thy medicine," she says, and stroking the back of my

'hand with her,disengaged ono; "Thii ikost thou I would leave tiioe? I cannot i f I would—thou knoweat I could not!"

I release her iiugoringly, and watch licr glide away, tl irowing back nt mo a tender glance, and. a nod ore she dis-4ippears.

I lie quite st i l l , listening to tlie rustle of her dross as she moves about There is tho faint chink of china and she is at my side again, raising me with bor soft nrins about my shoulders, whilst ."slie lints a cup to my lips.

' " N o w yon must dr inl i this. nor. leave a drop!" she says, wi t l i a littio air of Hiithorit.v.

I do not object. I f it were poison and hold to' my. lips hy Maruscha, • I -would swa l low, i t ; bnt i t is bouillon, and the fumes recommend It to my stomach. When I hare drunk it; she deftly turns niy pillow and lays mo back.

" N o w thou wi l t sleep." H e r voice is like the coo of the .stock

dove! She takes up a bit of needlework from tlie easy' chair, but goes nad sita where she is out of tlie. range of my vision., . , " •

"Whore I can seo theo, I pray, thee, MnniBcha!" I plead..

.She bonds forward. " W i l t tllou not ho poiitcnt, willfnl one?" slie iiiuriinirs. Yet she goes lo her easy (;liiiii', facing me, Ihongli she slinkcs her bead.

.•\s she,sits before me, lioiidliig over her work, nnd 1 gazing at her. I see a shyness come ovor lior, Hiicli as I have never scon before. 'Tho rosy blushes dye her fair skin, ami, as if to hide lliem, her hoiid (Irnnp.s lower,

I'.efnl'o mo ilistilall.v, blotling her out from me, rises a viainli from ponicwhel'c in my past,.

Her brave lieiirt coil-(luered her dro.Kl! She took me in, put lun ill her own white bod, nursed nle,

K great sob lifts my broilst, nnd broiiks the stillncs.S', She looks up starlled, ami llie iieedlownrk n l l ls from iier Iliigers, I try to strolcli my hand tnwnl'd her— sec her 1 calinot for tears—lint it flills powerless on the oouliteriniiio,

"Mnrii ,sclia," 1 filllor, "let mo—let mo kiss thy hand!"

She Ilic.H lo me. " M y hand, my lips! What thon wi l t ; but weep not, V l a d i ­mir!"

Slie kisses me wil i l ly, not thinking what she does, but only ot jiacifying me.

''Thou linst been i l l—vory 111; tllou must not excite lliysoif—it is had for tlioo. Think not of Ihe past, it is over —ni l over, anil thou art with mo! T l i i i i k how 1 have sl riven to nurse tliec well, and Ihoii woiihlsl undo nll! h io on thee! Thou linst no pil.v, for uie!"

' i 'a lki i ig tints, slio takes her Ilaiidkel'-clliof and dries my eyes, sweeps the hiiir from my brow and let,s lier lingers rest on it caressingly. /•

She seats hersolt on the side of the boil. 1 possess myself of her hnlid, nnd holding it iigiiinst my Iliis, my spirit slips away into tile sM'cot oblivion of dreamless sleep.

G H A P T K R IV, Jty life is a succession of deep and

trnilnuil ,sleepa and blhsstnl awakonlngs to tho discovery of Jfnrtischa's pres­ence, .

..Vnd she is my wil l i l ig slave in all lliings save one, I n i a y not evon hold her hand for long, or oiirry it to my lips. If I vnliltiro on die hltlor, slio gently but firmly wilhilraws i l , casfiiig on ino such a look of fond repronch ilult I nm fnili to blush like a scliool girl at iny temerity.

.M.ini.scha avoids all mention of that awful clinpler iu my life, tile subject snoma so iintetul to hor that I linvo abstained from nuestioiiing her, though I nm consumed witli cili 'iosity to know how my sudden appearance out of the grave, as it were, liad, afpoctod her.

She evidently fears, too, thnt tho rti.s-eussion of so paii if l i l a tllome would in­jure me in my sti l l weak state, for 1 can soo thnt .silo has enjoined Tvau—tile only member of our section besides hor-selt who knows of my oxisloncc—not to lot mo talk of it to iiim,

When I would speak of it, he has different ways ot eluding me. Tie wi l l rise hastily, as tlioiigli snniotliing hnd just occurred to him nhout which ho must consult Maruscha; or ho w i l l pro­tend not to hoar rao, and put a sudden tlucsUoii, as:

" r i as Maruscha read thee f u s b k l n ' s latest poem? No? Then 1 innst, bring it lo tlieo; it is glorious!"

I feci iiio.Ypi'cs.silily sad to-day, nnd ir i ir l isci la slinres my fcoliilg. A s silo sits, beside me, her swoct, fair I'nco, ilov.iiciist, ovor lior work, I guess that it is only my presence that keeps her from wpcping, i l e r swift noodle glailcos in and out of llio linen slio has on hor iap. She is liuisliing a .shirt for me to take Willi mo, and lllore is not ii i i icli lime lofr now. Ivan comes for mo tiii.s even­ing, and wo leave together when tho darkness falls.

It has boon honvon to mc, this calm, bli,';sful period of convalescence—all too .short, and here is the end of it, aud the beginning of fresh struggles wi th tlie world.

This move has been talked of for some days past, Ivan has hocn urgent, and my solil responds to Ilis wi.shcs. What­ever J lar i iscba may say, there is danger in my sojourn with her, 'Though i h c situation was forced ou us by necessity, and necopted joyfully by iny pure-mind­ed love, we fool that it is one thnt must bo put nn end to as soon as possihlo.

"Not so, jMni'iischn. II is as ever, ov eryl l i lng to me. 1 love liberty more thiil l i fe; only my opinion as to how to nt 'nii it is chungoil. I.lithei'to 1 was at lh . wrong end. .Mistake thou nnt tile hlrii flara of passion for the pure llaiiie ot en thnsiasln? 1 fear it is so."

Ivan's knock anil signal iiitcrriipls us Maru.sclia is leliviug nle to open tin door. I detain lior.

" T l i o u art (iisaiipoinicil in mo, swcei love?" I whispered, watching hor taei with anxiety.

H e r eyes seel; the grninul, "1—1—nn-dci'stnnd llieo i i o l , " she filllor,'-!,

"VoL thon canst fl 'iist liie?" 1 breathe. The blue, bewildered eyes turn oh inc.

'I'licli .siiilileiily. lis i f by ;iii iinnceoulUaliln impulse,, she puts lier two hallils (in my slioilhiei'.H nml lllilrmllrs, "TIioii art my vol-y snili nml my conscience, Vli idimir! '.I.'hy lllolmlits, thy nspirations, thy God are siirol.v i i i i i io!"

She stooiis and presses her liiis lo iny foi'cliead, nnil leaves me quickly to ad­mit Ivan,

H e piilers with a ciml over Ills una, nml nfter greelillg us, proilticcs from bis pocket a soft felt bar, which he throws on a chair, .Now he cmies and st.uids bclnre ille, regnnrlng llie cri l ici i i ly,

A Queer .Murrlnire Ccrt 'nionjr, A m o n g tho Kl io r r l aB of ludh i tho

T l i o l r fortunes told, geuorally tn their own satisfaction, the ossoiitial and Irrevocable part of the coremouy takes place. Standing up Hide by side, hut w i th faces s t r lcUy averted, the bride and bridegroom mark each other's forehead w i t h "s ln-dur" (vermilion). Grent care Is a lways taken that neltlior sha l l ciitcli n glimpse of the otl ier du r ing t i l ls Important proc­es sWhich finally makes tho couple mnn and wife.

IIIH One L a w n o o k . A N o w Mexico correspondent sends to

Caso and Comment the fo l lowing letter wr i t t en by a newly elected justieo of the ponce in that terr i tory some twenty yoai's ago, when conditions were some­wha t more p r imi t ive than now:

"I w i s l i you would send mo a foe b i l l fnr justices and constables. I have but one l aw book In tny ollice, nnd thnt Is a Inst year 's almauae and'does not con­tain a foe b i l l . J 7 hath my first case yesterday, nnd

i h o Jury*pr 'ompny found a verdict for the plalntl t l ' , and 1 charged the dei'eud-nnt $'20 costs. Ho kicked, and I reduced It to .'fli'), wh ich he paid. I then 'wl iacko i l up' w i t h tbo constable, wh ich I thought woit id bo about right. I f I don't hear from you beforo the next case comes on tho costs w i l l be ^25. Ti l l s t h ing hns got to pay." ,

Tho iiri-ow movcil In two shafts, one of tl iem the elub elevator express route.

"It 's wonderful how much l l iuo a man can save by thi'.so cxpross(;s," re­marked one of the [iiilr,

"Nonsense," said Ills cmiipanlon, "1 cnn get to the bottom on a local and beat you whi le 1 am di i l i ig It,"

"Ten dol lars that you can't," wns tho reply.

The cages In both shafts opened w i t h t cl ick, and wi thout fur l l ior parley the two nien separated, entering the dllTor-eut elevators. The local got away a fraction of a moment iilieail of tho ex-pr(!ss. W h e n tho man in tho latter stopped out Ills aef iua l i i ta i icuwas wait­i n g I'or I i lm,

" H o w d id you do i t ?" gasped the ex­press pas,seiiger, d igg ing down for the forfeUed bank note,

"Tha t wns onsy," ,snld his companion. "1 gave m y elevator man halt of the bet—In mlviiiiee—nnd he didn' t make any stops."—Now Y o r k I'ost.

cause of a good deal nf amusement and exclloiuent In Hooiivl l le one day. The doctor stopped at a ti'ough to wator bis horse. .A. sewer pipe about a l i imdrod feet long passes under a ci'osslng at this placo, and the dog, being warm from running, crawled Into the pipe to get cool. W h e n tho Umc cii i i io to leave he could not turn aro i in i l , nml us the pipe was crooked ho could not see the ojipo-slt_e.eniI_of It, so there ho stuck.

Aga ins t t l int profound ob,serv.ation ot Prosldont Itoosovelt may be placed tho declaration ia the Democratic plat­form and that of .Tolin .Sharp AYlUiams, tlio leader of tho Democrats In the House, on tbo sub,1oct about wh ich i\Ir, Koosovelt arrogates snpremo authority.

AA'illiains thus defined the Democrat ic idea on tho taril'l!, w i i i ch Judge Pa rke r approved:

" T h e Democrat ic tariff idea, l ike ev­erything else Deroocrntic, is founded as nearly, as possible upon, the p r inc i ­ple of 'eanali ty of opportunities nnd equality of burdens.! 'Xhls same, pr in­ciple e.Ytendod to otlior matters o f tin-Ucipatod,legislat ion w i l l glvo yon w h a t Democracy moans , 'or ought fo menu, w i t h rogni'd to them.

Nei t l ier jGovemmcnt nor Government created ^corporations ought to be permit ted to !encourage or contintio l u a course o f favor i t i sm to any Individual , any In­terest or any locality."-

ATil l iam .L B r y a n , in tho Commoner, quotes from Mr, . .Uooseveit's letter of aceoptanco as fo l lows:

" I t is but ten years since tho last at-tonijit was mado by means of loweriuff the tariff to prevent some people f rom prospering too inueh. The at tempt was entirely successful. T h e ta r i t l o f that year (1S04) was among tlie causes wh ich in that year nud for some t ime afterwards effectually r roveuted any­body from prospering too much and labor from prospering at a l l , "

Th i s statement is i n l ine w i th tbo declaration i i i t b e Repub l ican Na t iona l platform for IDOJ that "a Democra t ic tariff l ias a lways been fo l lowed by bnsiiloss advers i ty ; a l i epub l lcan tar i ff by business prosperi ty."

M r . B r y a n then proceeds to show, that neither tho statement ot, M r . Boosovolt, nor .tJio declarat ion i n the Republ ican pla t form i s just if led by history. " A s a matter of fact," says M r . B r y a n , " e v e r y panic dur ing tbe last th i r ty years or iginated under Re ­publ ican rule l ind dovoloped under E c -publicau legis lat ion.

'"The gold panics -which gave h is tory 'black F r i d a y ' , occurred du r ing the mouth of September, 1860, when t i ie Repub l ican par ty , .was . in power. .

"The great panic: marked by the f a i l ­ure of J a y ' C o o k & Co. occurred i n Sep-tcinhor, 1S73. T l i o n tho E c p u b l i c a n par ly w a s ' l n power and eleven months prior to the t imo o f that panic the Ucpubl ieau party had been re-elected to pO-WOr.-. • ^.M^

" T o bind th'Q m.aitter, and to avoid misunderstandings, a contract was en­tered into between M r . D u Quelin, the George F . Payne Co. aud J l r .
