She had the gracious v/ays which a
beautiful woman learns by the time

Ilko bloom from her complexion , that

fiho was fur more clwrnilng than any
more girl could be. In her presence ,
oven Meg's ' prettlness scorned Inex
pressive. 1 , who bad scarcely any
claim to prcttlncss , was overwhelmed
with a sense of my own Insignificance.
Wo saw much of Madame Arnaud.
She came often , and she generally
came In the evening when John was at
home. Ostensibly , her calls were on
mo ; but , when uhb left the drawing-
room , John accompanying her npros. <
< ho IHtlo hall , she fell at once Into a
Boftor , moro familiar tone ; sometimes ,
half an hour after nhe had bidden
Boodnfglit to me , nho was still talking
In a subdued , confidential voice to
John In the hall or In bis study ; and
now and then John would go with her
the nhort distance that Jay between
our houses , and If the evening waa
quiet I could catch the sound of their
footstppa as they passed and repasscd
irp iad down the pavement , until at
I poked my lire obediently. The
merry blaze shot up and dispersed th"
Klindows. The firelight waa so prrtly
that tlio lamp , which the maid at Hint
moment brought In , was banished by
Meg to I ho piano In the corner. The
littln af let noon tea table wan wheeled
bofoio the lire , and Meg drew her chair
opposite to mine and sank back In It
with a High of luxurious content.
"One question , Kitty , " she said.
"Will John come In ? "
" 1 think not not yet. "
"Then I'm happy , " she replied ; "I
breathe frocly. Now confess , Kitty
I'll never toll a soul don't you fool n
sense of relief when John goes out ? "
"iNo , I don't. "
"Kitty , you're snappish. Your tem
per was never nice and It's getting
worne. "
I laughed and began to pour out the
tea. Meg leant back hi her chair and
looked critically at her blue cup , and
stirred her tea slowly with the quaint
llttlo apostle's spoon , then removed the
spoon to examine It ,
"I like your silver and your china.
Kitty. The i sight of your silver and
china would almost persuade me to
marry , If anyone- would marry mo. But
the night of you and John counteracts
the nish desire. "
"How do John and I look ? "
"Look at yourself In the glass , dear ;
the glass will speak for one. And John
looks worso. Lo ) you kcop him on cold
mutton chops , Kitty ? Nothing but an
unvarying diet of mutton chops could
account for bis profound gloom. "
"John's not gloomy you Imagine
that , " I declared , with a llttlo sharp
catch In my breath oven as I made the
decisive assertion.
"And you're not gloomy ? " ques
tioned Meg , stirring her tea , and put
ting out her neatly-shod little feet to
the welcome blaze. "Is bo a tyrant ,

wintry sunshine. I grow more than
one- ' month older In those four long
weeks. I scarcely know what troubled
iho ; I tried to put tbo thought ot the
trouble away 1 shrank , fr.om facjng It.
John asked mo sonioflinos if I was
happy ; 'I always assured him J'Yes ; "
and parhaps the assurance was more
eager than spontaneous , for bo would
look at mo gently and turn away with
n'little sigh.
Ho was always gcntio. I wished im
patiently sometimes that ho would bo

Vyords seemed to echo in my brain ; I
could nflt. s/rjvo / as I would , nut them
sway from me.
wlt was a misty , chilly afternoon to
ward the end of October. Meg had run
m to see me. She was full of life and
Spirits } ' slie laughed at mo because I
was sitting In the twilight ; she kissed
iho and rung the bell for the lamp and
tea ; then she kissed mo again and
bade mo tell her I Was glad to'see her ,

Meg , with a retlectlv'o air. "I'couldn't

leant back In my chair to escape from
It , My heart had suddenly turned
cold ; I waited for a moment , then
asked a question very quietly.
"Was Madame Arnaud there at the
off.re , Meg ? "
Meg hesitated for n moment. Sh
put down her nip , folded her hands In
her lap.'and looked closely at me.
"Kitty , for goodness' milcc , bo a ra

bad meant to be Joaloim of. Madann

"I'm not Jealous , " 1 icpllcd , In a dull
yet protesting tone. "Why should 1

For many minutes wo sat In silence

ticking audibly In the stillness of tie |
room. Then II was I who broke the
ellcnce. I spoke with sudden passion ,
yet In a low , slow , deliberate tone.

I said. ' "I wish It every day , Meg. 1

herself on the elbow of my chair. 1
put my head against her shoulder and
sat In silence , looking perfectly hope
lessly before me.
"Ho loved her , " I said at last , still
speaking In a quiet tone , still looklns
before mo Into the glowing lire. "Some
one should luivo told mo ! No one told
me ; I did not know I did not know ! "
"And I did not know It until after
wards , " said Meg gently. "I had beard
of her , but I had only heard half the
story. I heard It again the other day
more fully. "
"Toll mo. "
"But John has told you. " >
"No. "
"How strange ! It's a long story ; 1
scarcely know where to begin. Ton ot
eleven yours ago Madame Arnaud she
was Lucia St. John then was an
actress , a singer but you know that. "
"I know nothing. "
"Sho sang In opera ; they said she
was the coming prlniu donna. She
sang for two seasons ; then her voice
failed her. "
"Qo on , Meg. "
"She had been engaged to John-
bow strange It Is , Kitty , that I should
know this and not you ! did you know
she had been engaged to John ? "
"No. "
"John ought to have told you , ]

big Income , and the Income dwindled
down to nothing suddenly , and Jobc
was poor. Ho was very poor , you

GIIISWS SOFT SNAP

According to the olllcial records of
tbo reformers , saya a Lincoln corrcj j !
spondent of the Onmlm Bee , who have '
held otllcc In the state houuc during i
tlio past few yours one of the moat j i
startling cases of misappropriation of | !
state funds during the popocratlc od- i .
ministration was in the ollice of tbo i
state oil Inspector. This office was ac- I '
knowldogcd by the populists to be the
biggest snap in the slate house and
when It Is fully realized that In a little
over two years' time J. II. Edmlsten ,
the Holcomb appointee , was allowed
to draw from the state treasury as
expense money enough to pay bis fare
four time around the world and still
have left a balance of about ? 200 for
incidentals , their acknowledgment will
not be doubted.
Tim records In Mm nfUnn nf t.hn state
oil Inspector show that an appalling
slate of affairs existed there during the
term of J. H. Edmlsten under the Hol-
omb administration. On numerous
occasions nls monthly vouchers called
for over ? MO and for thn month of
May , 1807 , his claim amounted to $413.-
fil. All of these claims were approved
by the governor and allowed by the
auditor without Investigation. In fact ,
there aparently was no check upon
tbo "reform" oil Inspector. During Ed-
mlslcn's term of ofllce warrants wore
Iruv/n in bis name amounting to ? S-
227.05. Deducting from ibl.H amount
the salary allowed by law mid a balance -
anco of | : t , 194.93 remains for expenses.
These figures are all taken from the
record made oy Edmlsten himself and
arc still further substantiated by the
vouchers on tile in the auditor's ofilce.
The smallest amount drawn from the
treasury by Kdmlstcn for a single
month was ? 217.23 and bis salary for
the same month was 'jlGG.GG.
It Is because of these unwarranted
drafts on tl c treasury while acting
the pseudo role of a reformer that Ed
mlsten is now In bad repute with the
nore conservative and conscientious
element of the populist party. It is
enerally known that he rode on pass
es and charged the state for each trip ,
nade either in the discharge of bis
lutiea as oil inspector or in bis own
H'ivate Interests. Such methods are
approved i y a majority of the popo-
ratlc officeholders nt the state bouse ,
nit there Is nevertheless considerable
riliclsm beard from tbo few who
wanted to see the populist machinery
ilaced In the bands of _ a moro worthy
nan. As chairman o'H the populist
central committee Mr. Edmlsten has
surrounded himself by men who coun-
enanco such methods , most of whom
eceived good salaries from the state
while they are attending to the work
of the committee.
The monthly report of Edmistcn ,
filed with the state auditor , shows that
largo proportion of the trips charged
0 the state were to and from Dawson
county , where ho holds a quarter of
1 section of school land upon which
he lease money due the state has not
been paid for four or five years. There
are other Instances where Edmlsten
charged to the state expenses of a
rip to Omaha and return , going from
he state metropolis to Dawson county
nstead of inspecting oil at that place ,
la shown by his reports.
The following Is u portion of Chair
man Edmlsten's expense account lor
the month of May , 1897 , as copied
rom the statement In his own hand
writing , now on flic In the auditor's
ofllce :
May 2. Pemler and return , fare $ S.37

May 12 , liciitrlco und return ; ! . !
May l.'i , Orleans ami return 18.20
Muy 17. Omaha and return 3.u
Total railroad fare $ li.1
This amount was drawn by Edmls
ten for the single month as railroad
'are ' alone and in addition to his sal
ary , which was $2,000 per year. It is
not a very large amount , but it is
noticeable by comparing the statement
with his report of oil Inspection that
be drew from the state $24.21 for rail
road fare to Chappoll and return on
May 8 , while on the same day he was
In Omaha and Beaver City inspecting
oil. He even reported the Inspection
of 205 barrels of oil at Beaver Cily
and 117 barrels In Omaha. This , of
course , Is taken from bis report , which
dees not explain how he managed to
bo in the three places on the same day.
Tbo .expense account Includes n charge
of ? S,37 for a trip to Pender and re
turn of May 2. The report of oil In
spection for 'the ' same 'month shows
that on that day he Inspected 117 bar
rels of oil at Grand Island and IIS
barrels In Lincoln. It would also bo
Interesting to know why Mr. Edmls-
taa drew railroad fare for round trips
to Pendor and Chappell and also for
Iho trips mentioned in the , following
report of oil Inspection for the same
month , the dates being given In the

As n result of the attempt of the
Nebraska democrats to swallow the
people's paity considerable dlssatlc-
factlon exists among the popullsta ,
sayn tlio Omaha Boo. The following
address from D. Clem Dcavor , member
of the national committee , has bosn
issued :
"OMAHA , Neb. , Oct. 21. To Pro-
pi" s Party Voters : An n member of
the national committee of the people's
parly I consider It my sacred duty to
keep the voters of the party informed
regarding matters that vitally concern
Its future. 1 have known tor some
tlni" that i > conspiracy bus been
hatched In this state to destroy the
independence of the people's party and
now have the absolute proofs.
"I left the republican party because
nf its odious machine methods and
helped to oiganlxc the people's Irnle-
pcndoiit party. The republican ma-
chlnc In Its palmiest days did not at
tempt to equal the democratic machine
In Nebraska -today. M. C. Harrington
is the first democratic leader to pub-
ncly admit what their more subtle
leauors have been whispering for some
time. In a letter to the chairman
of the Sixth district democratic com
mittee lur. Harrington says In part :
" 'The future of democracy depends
largely upon the number we can draw
from populist sources. There Is only
one more year to wait and itision win
be all over. There will bo but two
parties and the leaders of the demo
cratic party now will bo the recognised
leaders then. '
"With this declaration before us ,
populists must decide , each for him
self , whether they arc willing to bo
delivered and merged Into the demo
cratic party a party of corruption and
stupid opposition to what is. In the
west' , and especially in Nebraska , the
democratic party Is hanging like a
leech to tlio people's party. In the
south It spurns and suppresses our
cause. We all know that In the south
Its supremacy Is duo solely to the sup
pression of a free ballot.
One year ago the democratic Tam
many bosses Intimidated and scared
our present governor , tiicii a candidate ,
Into Joining in an unholy alliance with
them whereby be agreed to let them
name all persons , populsis as well as
democrats , who' should receive favor
from his bands. When this was told
to me one year ago. I did not believe
it , but now 1 am satisfied it is true.
Not content with selecting populist
oYllcebolders , the corrupt democratic
machine of tins state wholly and abso
lutely dictated the platform ot our last ,
state convention. I , myself , saw n
democrat in our last state convention
pass around among the delegates ,
make out the list for the plat
form committee , hand it to the chairman -
man of the convention , and tiie men
on tbo list were the men named. The
platform was rushed through by a sjs-
teni of gag rule that would have put
the old-time party machines to shame.
"I submit that this is not my idea
of an independent party , but it looks
much to me as the action of a de
pendent party. It is my opinion , and
I know it to be the opinion of many
delegates , that It should be the policy
of this government to" make the Pa
cific ocean an American lake , but not
one word wore we allowed to say on
the subject. Where arc the men who ,
with myself , helped to build this party
up und brought It to success ? Echo
answers where ? This young and great
party of ours must not bo saddled with
the odium that will bear down upon
the democratic party for the next gen
eration. It. must be freed from this
corrupting and demoralizing Influence.
"Under the Influence we have been
forced to keep a State Board of Trans
portation that costs the taxpayers
thousands of dollars annually ; a board
whicli we declared worse than useless
r promised the people to abolish.
The present state administration
elected on solemn pledges to protect
the Interests of organized labor has
violated every pledge made to union
labor ; has notoriously been a party to
beating down wages , helped to nullify
the Australian ballot law and stands
before working people today con
demned. The managements of our
state Institutions , with one exception ,
are today violating the plain provi
sions of law and our candidates are' '
forced Into the disgraceful position of
making a campaign against their hon
est opinions. The corrupt democratic
machine today is collecting money
supposedly for campaign purposes
which if disbursed as In the past will
bo used by them tor betting upon elec
tion returns after the campaign is over.
By its coalition with the democratic
party our party has been brought into
disrepute- many ways and we find
ourselves today making ti defensive
campaign , instead of an aggressive
campaign.
"It is my painful duty to sound the
alarm. The populist ship , which em
barked under most favorable auspices ,
laden wltfl a precious cargo of inde
pendent men , finds itself scuttled by
democratic pirates sailing under the
flag of retorm. These democratic buc
caneers lib longer conceal their wicked
design to loot the cargo and wreck the
ship. In this crisis It becomes the
sacred duty of every Independent who
holds principles above spoils to come
to the rescue. Respectfully ,
