CHAPTER IV.-Continued. )
The clergyman nodded his head
gontly. Possibly he was amused by
the vivacity of the Ancient Mariner.
"Then the inhabitants of the Island
gathered on the beach to receive the
' shipwrecked strangers , and made a
fire of fagots to warm the poor creatures -
tures How nice and kind of them ! "
said Mrs Griffith in her mellow , sympathetic -
pathetic voice.
"Paul abode hero for three months ,
the Roman centurion having refused to
slay the prisoners under his charge to
prevent their escape , " added the clergyman -
gyman , restoring the Testament to
his pocket : "Truly , God works in a
mysterious way His wonders to per-
- form. "
"All this land must have belonged
to the Publius whose father was
healed of fever by the Apostle , "
mused Miss Syhnthe , pointing to the
shore with her red silk parasol ,
"How awfully clever you are Ito
know all about it ! " whispered Lieut.
Curzon , while his glance plainly supplemented -
plemented : "How well you are looking -
ing to-day ! "
The young lady smiled with a certain -
tain calm complacency. Her sailor
hat was bound with a blue ribbon ,
which imparted a youthful charm to
her delicate featureswhile her slender
figure was clad in a white dress with an
azure belt , and wide , mariners collar ,
embroidered with anchors. She was
subtly aware that the masculine gaze
rested on her with satisfaction , and
even the elderly clergyman found her
allusion to Publius the more apt that
J
she was fair.
"As for the model of the ships of antiquity -
tiquity , we find it on the coins of Coin-
modus , Adrian , and Lucius Verus , "
said Capt. Fillingham , still contemplating -
plating the bay.
He turned suddenly to Arthur Cur-
zen , with a twinkle of sly humor in
his eye.
'Does your friend , Jacob Dealtry ,
happen to possess any good Roman
coins ? "
"Don't know , I am sure ; but I should
say not , " retorted Lieut. Curzon ,
curtly.
Capt. Blake , who was attired in a
uniform of vivid scarlet , and a short
jacket which imparted an additional
ruddy glow to his sandy complexion ,
busby red mustache , and bulbous
nose , tilted his cap over his keen blue
eyes.
"I have no more doubt of Jacob
Dealtry's dealing in Roman coins than
that he has a pretty daughter , " he
said , in a bantering tone.
The company laughed. Arthur Cur-
zen again started , and colored ith
anger.
' You are mistaken , " he retorted
lightly. ' Jacob Dealtry has no daughter -
ter , as far as I am aware. "
He was vexed , even startled , by the
swiftness of the emotion which swept
over liim at the mention of the young
girl in the garden. Surely the senti-
, went was merely a tingling irritation
of quick blood , the innate hostility in
rivalry of the sailor to the soldier.
Be felt an unwarrantable resentment
at Capt. Blake , mingled with wrath at
} himself for so readily betraying his
own annoyance. What a fool he had
been to ever mention the name of the
old man !
"So there are no pretty daughters in
the house of Dealtry , " said Capt.
Blake , mockingly. "More's the pity !
I am a great admirer of the fair sex ,
and yet my enemies declare that I am
not a marrying man. "
Here the soldier sighed and glanced
at Miss Symthe with an expression of
? ' sentimental admiration , wlrie h was
" real or assumed.

TRA\SFERRING TIIE IIOSEfUD.
Arthur Curzon bit his lip to check a
hasty retort. A pang of fresh doubt
and fear shot through his heart at the
thought of this wolf , with curiosity
aroused , prowling about the sheepfold
of the old Watch Tower , where Dolores -
ores laughed andsang in all innocence.
Would the maiden be cheated and beguiled -
guiled by his flatteries ? In reality
Capt. Blake was a. brave officer , cool
y in danger , who had won his medals in
India and the Crimea. In , periods of
garrison inaction he was chiefly notable -
ble for excelling in the national art of
grumbling at earth and sky where he
happened to be stationed and inkee P
h ,
'l
k
fag a clear'head at mess when feebler
brains had become hopelessly obscure
over the wine. Arthur Curzon beheld
him in as odious a guise as did Charles
Lamb's crier of the thief ; his plain exterior -
terior exaggerated to monstrosity , as
his soul was capable of any evil in-
tent. Youth is prone to extremes of
feeling , and the sailor was very young
in all matters of the heart.
"How very odd that I can not get
the name of Dealtry out of my head ! "
said the Ancient Mariner , removing
his hat , and suffering the warm breeze
to sweep over his bald cranium ,
fringed with white locks. "When I
was in the Baltic a man- "
"John , dear , put on your hat , or you
will catch your death of cold , " interposed -
posed Mrs Fillingham with her usual
decision of manner.
The lady was in the best of spirits.
She wore a hat of juvenile aspect and
a metal belt with a whole arsenal of
miniature daggers and pistols of silver
attached.
The Ancient Mariner slowly replaced
his hat , with an expression of offended
dignity. "I was about to remark , if
you will allow me to finish , Mary- "
"Yes , yesi" rejoined his helpmate ,
with her hurried lisp , while her pale
blue eyes wandered abstractedly toward -
ward the luncheon cloth spread on the
ground at some paces distant. "Mrs.
Griffith is waiting for us. Let me find
a nice sheltered corner for you , dear ,
and some sherry. You must keep up
your strength , you know. "
"I'romise to preach us a sermon on
St. Paul at Malta , " said Mrs Griffith
to the clergyman.
The hostess felt that transition from
sacred to mundane matters might be
too abrupt without such a suggestion.
"Very good , " he replied , smiling.
"I invite you auto my parish in Surrey -
rey next summer to hear me preach
about St. Paul at Malta. I fancy the
ordeal will prove a sufficient punishment -
ment for all small peccadilloes.
Promise to lunch with me at the Vicarage -
age afterward. "
In the general assent Captain Blake
evinced marked fervor. Much desultory -
tory talk and laughter ensued , amid
the popping of corks and the discussion -
sion of cold fowl and ham , sandwiches
and salad.
The Ancient Mariner , with a Scotch
plaid spread over his rheumatic knees ,
a plate of jellied beef before him , and
a wine bottle at his elbow , had recovered -
ered his amiability.
"Get married in the heyday of
youth , " he admonished. "Every man
needs a wife to take care of him. "
The clergyman , who was a widower ,
sighed , and helped himself freely to
mustard. Miss Ethel Symthe sat on a
camp-stool , with Arthur Curzon on
her right hand , and Captain Blake on
the left.
0The latter , investigating the depths
of a jar of potted tongue , remarked ,
"The worst of it is , Malta is such a
beastly hole to be stationed in. There's
nothing whatever to do. "
"I find it very jolly , " said Arthur
Curzon. Thereupon he sang , in a fine
baritone voice , the ballad of Destiny.
The Ancient Mariner listened with a
sudden shadow of gravity on his face.
"Strange ! His father , Admiral Jack ,
had just such a voice. "he soliloquized.
"Do you like that song ? " demanded
Capt. Blake , sotto voce , of Miss
Symthe , as he traced lines on the
ground with the pointed end of the
young lady's parasol "Bellowing is
rib name for it. "
Then he added the soldier's defiance
of the discipline of the troop-ship , in
a mocking falsetto-
"And all about the ship , .
Pm sure 'twould vex a saint !
Everywhere you welt or sit ,
They sing out , 'Mind the paint. '
Miss Symthe declined to laugh at
this sally , and proffered claret-cup to
Arthur Curzon instead.
Mrs Griffith had said to her friend
when the man-of-war was coming into
port , "I hope you two will like each
other , EtheL Arthur belongs to really
very good people. "
Miss Symthe was prepared to like
Lieut. Curzon. She had decked herself -
self in a nautical toilet before her mirror -
ror that morning , as an international
tribute of flattery to the young man.
She was a daughter of her century in
all respects , and four-and-twenty years
of age. She was , on the whole , heart-
free , but she had passed through
several Tendon seasons , and experienced -
perienced some cruel disillusionments
The troop of rosy sisters emerging
from the schoolroom beneath the
paternal roof. in budding maidenhood ,
the pressure of public opinion , and the
warnings of maternal ambition , rang
the perpetual refrain in her ear ,
"Marry ! Make a good match if
possible , but establish yourself in life
at all hazards. "
What more eligible field of conquest
could be accorded an enterprising girl
than Malta during the winter season ,
with the ranks of army and naval men
to be met , and the occasional yachtsmen -
men flitting about the Mediterranean
on a cruise of pleasure ? Miss Symthe
had decided to make the most of her op-
portunities. Aware that the fair recruit -
cruit , sent out to India by aspiring
relatives in quest of a husband , no
longer invariably finds such a mate ,
while the social badge of spinsterhood ,
glorified or otherwise , possessed no
attraction to the wearer of the straw
hat , she set about achieving her end
with that unflagging zeal , that unwavering -
wavering determination , brooking no
denial on thepart of subjugated man-
; -
t ° -R 'k'
ldnd , for which the modern fashionable -
able girl , whether at home or abroad ,
is often so remarkable. Woe betide
the innocent rival who should cross
the path of Ethel Symthe's purpose
and thwart her aims ! The heroine of
many London seasons , deeply versed
I in feminine wiles , had one of Mrs.
Barrett Browning's housewives in her
bosom , veil stocked with sharp needles -
dles and pins of jealousy and spite ,
ready to sting and prick a victim to
pain.
Capt. Blake betrayed no pique at
her defection , but entered upon a
lively political skirmish with Mrs.
Filliugham , who prided herself on her
conservative acumen of judgment. If
the captain was a social wasp , moved
aE times to envy and malice , he
sheathed his little weapon on the
present occasion and gave no sign of
irritation.
"Friends in council aid me , " said
Mrs. Griffith , eating a last pate with a
fine appetite , The Russian grand
duke has kindly promised to come to
me after dining with the governor. '
Of course , there must be a ball I
sent out the invitations this morning
How shall we amuse his highness ? I
have thought of some introductory
dramatic entertainment before the
dancing commences Our time is very
short for preparations What if we
had a series of tableaux representing
the early inhabitants of Malta receiving -
ing the royal guest ? "
"Charming ! " exclaimed Mrs. Ffl-
lingham.
"Give him a Cossack supper and
show him our Crimean medals , " suggested -
gested Capt. Blake , facetiously.
Mrs. Griffith threatened him with
her finger. "I should require a beautiful -
tiful girl for the early Phoenician
type , " she continued.
" 1 know of one , " said Arthur Cur-
ion , impulsively.
"Do you , really ? That makes all
the difference. Can you induce her to
pose for us , Arthur ? "
"I will try , " was the eager rejoinder.
Mrs. Griffith contemplated her cousin
with interest. Miss Symthe darted a
swift glance at him of surprise and in-
quiry.
"Is she beautiful ? " the latter asked ,
with assumed carelessness. P
Lieut. Curzfn bit his lip. He wished
that lie had not again spoken of the inhabitants -
habitants of the Watch Tower , and yet
the motive was a generous one. Dolores
longed to go to a ball. How strange
it would be if the caprice might be fulfilled -
filled in a swift and unexpected fasli
ion ! "That is a matter of taste , " lie
said , warily. "At least she would
serve as a foil for Anglo-Saxon beauty , "
and his glance rested on Miss Symthe s
golden hair and delicate complexion.
"We need dark and rich coloring , "
said itilrs. Griffith , "Can I rely upon
you , Arthur ? "
"You may rely upon me. " he replied
gravely , suppressing a smile.
"I need the assistance of all of you , "
concluded the hostess , rising.
1'lieu the remnants of the feast were
packed in baskets and hampers by the
attendant servants , and a last glance
taken of St. Paul's bay by the pleasure
seekers.

FOUND ItiM MISS SYMTHE's CO31PANWN.
Returning homeward , Lieut. Curzon
found himself the companion of Miss
'
Symthe. Mrs. Griffith smiled on the
young people with her most benevolent -
lent expression.
The young officer , with a sudden access -
cess of high spirits , and full of impatience -
patience to fulfill the mission intrrsted
to Trim , replied mechanically to the remarks -
marks of his companion. She was of
a conventional type of correct young
ladyhood. lie assured himself , with
weariness. that lie had met scores of
girls just like her. He could define tea
a nicety , if so minded , her opinions on
religion , society , politics , dress , town
and country life. He did not attempt
to analyze this change of mood , only
the sbfth modulated accents of I1iss
Symthe in his ear bored him.
( TO EF. CONTINUED , )
TILE LAWYER ANswERED.-One of
Chicago's most prorninentlawyers tells
a good story on himself. He says : "It
was when I used to practice law in a
little town near the center of the state.
A farmer had one of his neighbors
arrested for stealing ducks , and I was
employed by the accused to endeavor
to convince the court that such was
not the case. The plaintiff was positive -
tive his neighbor was guilty of the
offense charged against him , because
he had seen the ducks in the defend-
ant's yard. 'How do you know they
are your ducks ? ' I asked. Oh , I should
know my own ducks anywhere , ' replied -
plied the farmer ; and we went into a
description of their different peculiarities -
ties whereby he could readily distinguish -
guish them from others. 'Why , ' said '
I , : those ducks can't be of such a rare
breed. I have seen- some just like
them in my own yard. ' 'That s not at
all unlikely , ' replied the farmer , for
they are not the only ducks I have had t
stolen lately. " '

is nothing to kick at.

GRAND D PARTY.
, REPUBLICAN TIMES ARE IN
SIGHT AGAIN.
As a Iesnlt of Last Year's Iolitical
Landslide Confidence Is Restored and
Business Men Are Preparing for a
Great Era of Prosperity.
The brief published summary of our
import and export trade for March enables -
ables a comparison to be made for the
nine months of the current fiscal years
ending March 31 , 1894 and 1595. Separating -
arating the dutiable and the free imports -
ports during each period we have the
following comparison :
Imports , Nine Months Ending March 31 ,
1894. 1895.
Free of duty. . $271,912,450 $268,025,312
Dutiable . . , . . 208,958,028 267,500,618
Excess of free $ 62,954,431 $ 524,694
It will be noted that during the earlier -
lier period our imports of free goods
were almost $63,000,000 larger for the
nine months than our imports of dutiable -
iable goods , the protective tariff enabling -
abling the people to purchase goods free
of duty to the extent of $7,000,000 a
month more than their purchases of
goods upon which they had to pay duty.
During the later period , however , ending -
ing March 31 , 1895 , seven months being
under the Gorman tariff , our imports
of dutiable goods were only $524,69.4 less
than our Imports of free goods. In
other words , the new tariff has resulted -
ed in a decrease of our purchases of free
goods and a very considerable increase
in our purchases of goods subject to a
customs tariff , which the free-traders
and the tariff reformers have never
ceased telling the people was "a tax. "
That "the tariff is a tax" when
framed by free-traders on a tariff for
revenue basis is clearly shown by a
further comparison giving the amount
of duty payable under the old and the
new laws , as follows :
I Dutiable Imports.
Nine Months Per Cent. Amount
to March 31. Value Advalorem. of duty.
1894 . . . . . . $208,958,028 50 $104,479,014
1895 . . . . . . 267,500,615 40 107,000,247
Extra "tariff reform tax" . $ 3,521,233
During nine months , up to March
31 , 1894 , our dutiable imports on
an average ad valorem basis of 50 per
cent , resulted in the collection of $104-
479,014 of customs duties from the peo-
ple. During the latter period ending
March 31 , 1595 , our dutiable imports
being nearly $60,000,000 larger , but
with only an average ad valorem rate
of 40 per cent. , resulted in the payment
of $107,000,000 of duty through customs
collections.
It is thus clear that under the tariff
reform or free trade tax the assessments -
ments levied upon the people through
the customs were $3,500,000 greater during -
ing a period of nine months. The peo-
pie will certainly agree with the reformers -
formers and free-traders that their
"tariff is a tax. "
What Free Wool Does.
Since the Gorman tariff went into effect -
fect we have been buying very liberally
from foreign countries of woolen manufactured -
factured goods , their value , for six
months ending February 28 , 1895 , comparing -
paring with our imports during the
corresponding months a year earlier as
follows :
Value of Imports of Manufactures of
Wool.

Totals . . . . . $17,3S3,292$7,702,59S$9,6S0,694
The increased market for foreign
woolens reached $9,650,694 in half a
year , but if the increase for the two
months only of January and February ,
after the woolen schedule came into effect -
fect be taken , the increase was $ S,410-
959 for those two months , or at the rate
of over $50,000,000 a year. The foregoing -
ing figures would be bad enough , but
the actual effects of free wool are far
worse.
The Return of 1rosperity.
Democratic contemporaries all over
this nation are seizing with feverish
grasp every bit of news that seems to
indicate that prosperity is returning ,
Whenever a mill long closed is reopened -
ed , editorial praise of the Wilson bill is
heard. If a concern raises wages that
were formerly reduced the glories of the
Wilson bill are resung. Democratic papers -
pers are to-clay on a steady hunt for
prosperityand it must be admitted that
they are finding it. The Times will admit -
mit that prosperity is returning. Business -
iness is slowly awakening.
But for the prosperity to return , it
first had to depart. When did it depart -
part ? That is the question which most
interests the voter of to-day. The nation -
tion knows that when Benjamin Harrison -
son left. office there was no fear of this
late collapse of industry. Mills were
running on full or over time. No one
spoke of reducing wages. No industries
feared for their lives. When Grover
Cleveland entered upon his second term
he found a full treasury and a happy
country. He found himself reinforced
with a Democratic congress that promised -
ised the nation untold wealth. The work
was undertaken. The pall of free trade
fell upon the land. Mills began to
close and employers to cut down wages.
Had free trade been the outcome of
r
Democratic legislation there would not
be even the slight revival which bust-
ness assumes to-day. There would have
been no end to the panic of ' 93 and 'Q4.
Since the Wilson bill went into effect -
fect the manufacturer who feared entire -
tire free trade and took precautionary
measures accordingly , has learned what
to fear and has gone back to manufacturing -
turing , unless the cut in his tariff was
so great that it allowed the entrance
of foreign goods into deadly competition -
tion with the American goods. There
have been many such industries. There
has been no return of prosperity for
them. They are dead.
There have been industries injured
by the Wilson tariff. By the McKinley
tariff not a chimney ceased to smoke ,
not a fire was banked. No plants were
transferred to foreign shores in search
of cheaper labor when the McKinley
bill was passed.
Yes , prosperity Is returning. The
consumptive at times seems brighter
and stronger than usual , but it is no
return of health.-Brooklyn Daily
Times , April 13 , 1895.
Cleveland Loves England.
When Mr. Cleveland was president
and Mr. Endicott secretary of war the
federal government had occasion to
buy some blankets for army use. Bids
were called for , and , to make a trifling
saving of $616 on 2,000 blankets , Mr.
Cleveland's secretary of war rejected
all the American bids , and had these
blankets for use by American soldiers
brought all the way over from dear old
free trade England. This was a characteristic -
acteristic act of the Cleveland admin-
istration-not a great thinginitselfbut
indicative of the thoroughly un-Ameri-
can spirit which animated the Cleveland -
land regime from start to finish. The
whole story is told in our Washington
dispatches to-day , and side by side with
it the course of the Harrison administration -
tration as to similar purchases is placed
in sharp contrast. American blankets
have been found good enough and cheap
enough by President Harrison's secretary -
tary of war. That is the dividing line
between the two parties. In every-
thingfrombuyingblankets to fixing tariff -
iff rates , Clevelandism goes to England
and adopts English ideas ; Iiarrisonism
deals only in American goods and carries -
ries out only American ideas.-New
York Recorder.
Free Trade Frauds ,
There is to-day a systematic course
of undervaluation ; this market is a
prize which everybody is seeking to obtain -
tain , and the piratical foreign maker
gives no quarter. The evil as it exists
to-day is only a suggestion of what it
is likely to be if permitted to grow. One
does not have to go far back to find a
condition similar in many features to
the present. Between 1870 and 1580
the frauds against the customs laws in
the importations of silks were enormous -
mous ; it is estimated by competent authorities -
thorities that the undervaluations
ranged from 60 to 80 per cent. The bus-
mess was done entirely through local
representatives of foreign makers ; no
domestic house could buy goods direct
and import them ; all purchases had to
be made through the foreign agent to
whom the goods were consigned. The
government fought for years against
this fraud and it was only after a long
and bitter struggle that it was able to
stop it. The German and French dress
goods business is going the same way ;
it is largely a consigned business , and
will be wholly so in a short time unless
drastic action is taken to head off the
fraudulent endeavors of these conscienceless -
scienceless importers whose sole interest -
est in this country is to draw money
from it regardless of how it is obtain-

Evans and the Negroes.
Governor Evans , of South Carolina ,
has had another very severe attack of
negrophobia since his registration law
was declared unconstitutional. He-is
quoted as saying : "There will now be a
straight fight between the white men
and the nigger , and God save the white
man that goes to the negro. " A Democrat -
crat like old Andrew Jackson in the
White House would make Governor Evans -
ans think that lie had enough to do to
pray for his own salvation. Jackson
threatened to hang a distinguished
South Carolinian higher than Haman ,
once , and this is a good time for another -
other plain Jacksonian message from
the White House to the capital of South
Carolina.-Ex.
Brice Claims Vindication.
Senator Brice claims to have been
vindicated by the deficit in the treasury -
ury because , had he allowed the original -
nal Wilson bill to become a law , that
deficiency would have been $75,000,000
greater. By the same showing Mr.
Brice has vindicated McKinley and all
the Republicans who opposed not only
the Wilson bill but its substitute , the
Gorman-Brice bill.-Inter Ocean.
No Occasion.
Ex-Congressman Tom L. Johnson
and ex-Gov. James E. Campbell have
announced that they will both be candidates -
didates for tnited States senator
against Brice if the Democrats have any
show of carrying Ohio. They will have
no occasion for getting ready for such
a Democratic contest. The successor
to Brice will be a Republican.
