A ROMANCEJ ; § 2
CHAPTER II.
"Now , Vi , " says Ruby a few evenings
later , seeking her cousin's room , and
flpeaklng to her in a tone of confidence ,
"I want you to do me a favor this even
ing. "
- "All right , dear , " answers Violet ,
rolling up the long plaits of her flaxen
hair with artistic precision. "How can
[ oblige you ? "
"Well , as you know , the Champleys
are coming in this evening for some
music , and I want you to prevent Shell
from putting herself forward in any
way and talking to them. She has
such a strange blunt way with stran
gers that I am always afraid of her
rloing or saying something outrageous. "
"I'm sure you needn't be , " responds
Vi. looking rather astonished. "She
v/as well named 'Pearl , ' for she hides
herself in her shell as persistently as
her namesake. Ho who finds out her
true value will have to be a very per
sifitcnt man. "
"Oh. she is a good deal sharper than
you think , " says Ruby , with a little
sneer ; "and at the same time she is so
extremely odd that I never feel safe
us to what she might say ! I actually
heard her confiding to the rector's wife
( he other day that our stair-carpet had
been turned four times. "
"Well , and if she did , there was no
harm in it , " declares Violet , who is
r-.r more attached to Shell than to the
brilliant Ruby.
"Of course you don't care , because it
is not your own home you are only
ntaying here , " retorts Ruby bitterly
"but for my own part I think there i
no need that our poverty should be
exposed to strangers. If she gets in
to conversation with either of the
Ghampley's , I shouldn't in the least
wonder at her telling them that our
dinner is always badly cooked because
vre can't afford a new kitchen range.
"I don't think she would , " laughed
Violet.
"She is quite capable of it she is so
eccentric. What other girl would in
sist upon being called 'Shell , ' when she
lias such a pretty name ? Nothing
could be sweeter than Pearl ; and yet if
one dares to call her by her right name
l * flies into one of her tantrums. "
* \3he is of a practical turn of mind , "
laughs Vi ; "she thinks Pearl too fanci
ful a name for a workaday mortal. I
wonder what induced aunt to name you
three girls after precious stones ? "
"I really can't say , " returns Ruby '
rather coldly ; "perhaps the same rea
son that induced your mother to name
you Violet. "
"Oh , I was called Violet because my
surname is Flower ! " explains Vi. a
shadow stealing over her face as her
thoughts fly back to her lost mother.
"It used to be a joke of papa's that
oven when I married I should not cease
lo he a flower. "
"You are a flower of which I should
foe uncommonly afraid if you were not
engaged. " laughs Ruby.
"Afraid why ? " asks Violet , opening
wide her blue eyes.
"Because you are so terribly pretty , "
answers Ruby truthfully.
Violet knows full well that she is
pretty her mirror tells her so , morn
ing , noon and night yet she likes to
Iiear it again , even if only from Ruby.
So she waxes amiable , and gives her
cousin a faithful promise that any
show of forwardness on Shell's part
shall be instantly suppressed.
As Violet foresaw , however , there is
little cause to fear any attempt at fa
miliarity on Shell's part. The girl has
Cleaned from Ruby's constant allusions
to the Champleys since their return
liome th'at her elder sister contemplates
with hopeful confidence the possibility
of becoming mistress of Champley
House. So disgusted does Shell feel at
her sister's scarcely concealed scheme
that she firmly resolves to adopt a line
of conduct so totally at variance to that
of Ruby that even the most obtuse man
on earth must see at least that she has
no desire to steal from him his free
dom. Even when she hears that Ted
Champley , the boy with whom she used
to go blackberrying and nutting , is
coming down with Robert , she makes
up her sensible little mind to be civil
lo him nothing more.
So. as the evening wears away , both
brothers , after ineffectual attempts to
hit on a congenial topic of conversa
tion , come to the conclusion that the
younger daughter of the house is
either somewhat deficient in intellect
or has developed such an alarming
spirit of contradiction that she is de
cidedly a , young woman to be avoid
ed.
ed.Ruby's amiable manner and social
sympathy stand out in startling con
trast to Shell's almost rough brusqueness -
ness o" manner. Violet too does her
utmost to > render the evening a pleas
ant one for the brothers , whilst Mrs.
Wilden backs them both up , as far as
her natural want of energy will allow.
"Do yon remember those jolly tims
we used to have out blackberrying , and
what particularly delicious blackberry-
jam your cook used to make ? " asks the
pouuger brother , taking a seat beside
Shell toward the end of the evening.
Edward Champley is a true Englishman
three times already
man , and , although
he has abandoned that seat in despair ,
he is still unwilling to acknowledge
himself beaten.
She docs not reply for a moment :
she is in the act of picking cut a knot
in the silk she is using , and till she has
fully accomplished that intricate feat
she ignores the fact even that she has
been spoken to ; then , turning upon
him with keen eyes , which look almost
piercingly dark in the lamp-light , she
says quietly
"I beg your pardon. "
Ted Champley feels taken back ; his
remark which savors in his own miud
slightly of the sentimental , and indeed
was made in somewhat sentimental
tone cannot be repeated in face of
that stolid air of indifference on Shell's
part ; so he changes his former conver
sation for another.
"You seem to have become wonder
fully industrious since I saw you last , "
he says , glancing anything but admir
ingly at the pretty garland of flowers
that is growing under her white fin
gers.
"Yes ; I am very fond of work. When
you saw me last I was a child ; and
children are so stupid they never
think of anything but play , " returns
Shell scornfully , pursuing her occupa
tion as though her living depended up
on it.
"Upon my word , " laughs Ted , "it is
my belief that a good many children
are wiser than their elders so obser
vant , you know , and all that kind of
thing. I really don't think you would
class all children together again as be
ing "stupid , " if you only knew those
little kids of Robert's ; they are awful
little sharpers. "
"I suppose their father takes quite
an interest in them ? " remarks Shell
in a bored tone.
Her companion stares at her for
some moments in amazement , then
breaks into a rather mocking laugh.
"Well , yes Robert does take a de
cided interest in Bob and Meg. Seeing
that they aie his own children , per
haps it is not to be wondered at. "
"No. of course that would account
for it , ' responds Shell quietly , and ig
noring the ring of sarcasm in Ted's
voice.
"I don't see how any one could help
liking them poor little beggars ! " con
tinues the young man bluntly , and in
a voice that speaks volumes of wonder
at his companion's heartlessness.
Shell breaks into rather an affected
little laugh.
"Dear me , ' she says wonderingly
"have I shocked you ? If so , you must
please forgive me ; for I don't like chil-
dren. "
Ted makes no remark for a few mo
ments , but sits watching her with keen
scrutinizing eyes , expecting every in
stant that some relenting dimple
round her lips would belie her words ;
but no Shell works on in serene un
consciousness , with her well-poised
head a little on one side , and all her
attention apparently fixed upon her
work.
"Is there anything under the sun that
you do like ? " asks Ted at last , in a
tone of desperation.
"Oh , yes , several things , ' answer ?
Shell briskly. "Let me see" reflec
tively "I like work , and reading , and
I am awfully fond of gooseberry-tart. "
Ted bursts into such a hearty peal
of laughter that Ruby who is engaged
in singing a trio with Vi and Robert
Champley give utterance to a false
note. Shell , after a futile effort to control - ,
trol her trembling lips , joins in his
merriment.
"No ; but , seriously , " he says , when j
they have both done laughing , "you
must have , I know , a few artistic ,
tastes. I remember you used to play
some very jolly pieces , so you must be
fond of music. "
Shell shakes her head in a despon
dent manner.
"No , " she answers carelessly , "I have
no talent for anything in particular.
Of course I play a little and I sketch a
little ; but I do nothing well enough
for it to be pleasing to anybody but (
myself. " l
"How do you know that if you never
give your friends the chance of judging -
ing ? " asks Ted , still trying to strike
some spark of emotion out of this
stolid maiden.
"Oh , they are quite at liberty to
judge for themselves if they like , only
nobody wants to hear me play twice ! " ;
answers Shell , in a tone of friendly
warning.
"Will you let me hear you play .
once ? " asks Ted eagerly.
"Oh , certainly , if you wish ; only
won't it he rather cruel infliction for
everybody else ? " says Shell naively.
'
"No , I am sure it won't. " answers her
companion , in a voice of such utter :
confidence that puckers of amusement
gather around Shell's lips after the
most wicked fashion. ;
Great is Ruby's consternation and
annoyance when she leaves the piano ;
to see Shell down on her knees beside
the mtnic-stand , turning over the loose
music in the drawer. ;
"Surely you are not going to play ? "
she exclaims , in a tone of mingled dis
approval and annoyance , for Ruby's
music is her one strong point , and she
hates to be cast into the shade by her
younger sister. As a rule , Shell is wont
to hide her light under a bushel , and
it is provoking , to say the least , that
she should depart from her usual
course on the present occasion.
"Oh , yes. I am going to play I have
" Shell innocent '
been asked ! responds
ly.
With a Fhrug of her shoulders Ruby
passes on , whilst Shell , selecting from
the Ions disused contents of the drawer
a dreary sing-song air , sits down at
the piano and commences to wade la
boriously and in a very mechanical
way through its twelve variations. It
is a piece that requires practice and
very quick playing to render it even
bearable as Shell had never had pa
tience to read it quite through until
this evening her performance is any
thing but a brilliant one.
CHAPTER III.
Edward Champley , who has taken
up his stand beside the piano in ex
pectation of a musical treat , does his
best to look cheerful under the inflic
tion ; but his most determined efforts
at politeness cannot prevent a faint
gleam of hope stealing into his eyes
at the end of each variation. Even
once he ventures on a rapturous
"Thanks ! " it is when , to his horror ,
he sees a minor key arrangement of
the air looming up before him ; but
Shell only glances up for a moment ,
and says quietly
"Oh , I haven't half finished yet ! "
Whereupon her victim offers an apol
ogy and smiles a sickly smile , as he
vainly tries to count how many more
pages there are to get through.
And , whilst Edward is enduring his
self-inflicted martyrdom at one end of
the room , his brother Robert is being
flattered , petted and a little bit lec
tured at the other end by Ruby.
"It was really too bad of you to stop
away from Champley House so long ! "
she says reproachfully.
Robert Champley looks at her for a
few moments before making any an
swer. Unfortunately for Ruby's
scheme , he is a man who generally
stops to think before he speaks , even
on trivial subjects.
"I shouldn't have come back now
if it hadn't been for the children , " he
says at length , with a sigh.
Ruby catches the echo of that sigh
and is all sympathy.
"No one knows better than I how
very painful your return home must
have been to you , " she remarks , in a
low and almost faltering tone , whilst
her white eyelids veil her eyes in
seemingly sad retrospect.
Again he looks at her ; then some
what coldly gives utterance to the one
words "Thanks ! " as if she had made
him a speech which , though distaste
ful , must be responded to in some way
or other.
"I hope you found the dear children
all that you pictured them ? " pursues
Ruby softly.
"Yes oh. yes : lhy are merry little
crickets , and seem just about as happy
as the day is long ! " answers Mr.
Champley , whilst a softening smile re
laxes his somewhat stern mouth.
"It is a terrible charge for you , "
observes Ruby , her tone and looks
full of the most profound pity.
"How so ? " asks her companion , in
evident surprise.
Ruby feels somewhat taken aback.
"Oh , it always seems to me such an
impossible thing for a man to know
about children's wants or ways ! " she
replies , with a little head-shake.
Robert Champley gives a flight
laugh.
"I assure you , both Bob and Meg
have neither of them any scruples
about expressing their wants , " he sayo
gaily ; "and , as you know , I am very
fortunate in my old housekeeper , Mrs.
Tclley she is a perfect mother to the
whole lot of us. The babies have a
treasure of a nurse , too a sensible
middle-aged woman ; so on the whole
I dare say we shall rub along very
well. "
"I don't believe in any servants be
ing treasures , " remarks Ruby skepti
cally ; "and , besides , your children
must be too old now to be left entire
ly to the charge of servants. "
"Do you think so ? " asks Mr.
Champley in a pondering tone. "That
is what I have been rather afraid of
myself. Bob is just seven , and poor
little Meg five. "

NEVER GIVES UP ITS DEAD.
Lake Superior Keeps Its Victims in the
Depths of Its Waters.
From the Minneapolis Tribune : Lake
Superior never gives up its dead. Who-
sver encounters terrible disaster hap
pily infrequent in the tourist season
ind goes down in the angry , beautiful
blue waters , never comes up again.
From those earliest days when the
laring French voyagers in their trim
jirch bark canoes skirted the pictur
esque shores of this noble but relent
less lake down to this present moment ,
hose who have met their deaths in
nid-Superior still lie at the stone-pav-
2d bottom. It may be that , ? o very
-old is the water , some of their bodies :
nay have been preserved through the
centuries. Sometimes , not far from
shore , the bodies of people who have
jeen wrecked from fishing smacks or
'rom pleasure boats overtaken by a
ruel squall have been recovered , but
jnly after the most heroic efforts with
Irag net cr by the diver. Once on a
rip down the lakes I met a clergy-
nan who , as we passed a point of land
onie miles before entering the nar-
owing of the lake at the Soo. poiated
nit the place where the ill-fated Al-
oma went down on the reef some

Knights of Labor Moving : EnerROtIoiIJy

a 1'ulr Decree Of 1'rotuctlou.
In a recent issue of the American
Economist appears an interesting com
munication from Capt. Campbell , chair
man of a committee appointed at the
annual convention of the New York
state organization of the Knights of
Labor to investigate and report con
cerning the revival of American ship
ping interests. It will be recalled that
at this convention a resolution was
adopted pledging the Knights of La
bor to the peJicy of encouragement of
the industry of shipbuilding and to the
restoration cf the American merchant
marine to a position commensurate
with the wealth and commercial ac
tivity of this great republic with its
population of 75,000,000. This indus
try , says the resolution , "should he as
much encouraged and protected as any
other American industry , and in the
name of American labor we say to our
legislators : 'Don't give up the ship ! ' "
Capt. Campbell , chairman of the
committee having the subject under
consideration , is excellently qualitied to
conduct the campaign on behalf cf the
fair and equitable treatment of an in
dustry which only requires intelligent
and consistent recognition at the
hands of the United Slates government
in order to thrive and prosper just as
our other domestic industries have
done under the American policy of de
fense against injurious foreign compe
tition. This committee of the Knights
of Labor should be prepared to submit
at the next annual convention of the
New York state district lodges a prac
ticable plan for the agitation of the
question. Its chairman is a seaman
of many years' experience in ocean
traffic , and the members of the com
mittee may be trusted to co-operate
cordially with Capt. Campbell along
the lines indicated in his communica
tion.
tion.Who
Who should know better than the
practical , hard-headed worlcingmen of
the country the importance of putting
the ship building and ship sailing in
dustry upon its feet once more ? Lands
men though they for the most part
are , they can see in the rehabilitation
of America's oversea carrying trade a
valuable outlet for the energy and in
dustry of the rising generation of
workers , as well as a field for the em
ployment of vast sums of capital which
now seek investment on land only.
There is not a workingman in the
United States who can atford to disre
gard this important movement , so vig
orously initiated by the state congress
cf the New York Knights of Labor , for
the reason that there is no direction
toward which American labor can look
with equal confidence for additional
opportunities and rewards. The re
vival of American shipping is the hope
of American labor. Don't give up the
ship !
Miners Get the JleuofU.
One of the most important effects of
the Dingley law has been the stimulus
t has given to lead smelting in the
United States. No better proof of this
could be had than the active efforts
which have been set on foot in Canada
to save the lead smelting interests of
that country by placing a high import
duty on lead and its manufactures. In
a circular whim was sent some time
ago to lead miners and others in Can
ada the statement is made :
"It is absolutely impossible , because
of this tariff discrimination between
lead in ore and lead in bullion , to car
ry on at a profit the industiy of min
ing and smelting Canada's lower grade
ores , or the smelting of ores of any
grade , inasmuch as under present con
ditions our lead must go to United
States markets. It is a fact that the
lead miners in the United States are.

Every obtainable fact shows that the
Dingley biJl was the product of a wise
and safe statesmanship , while the Wil
son bill shows from every day of its
\ \
enforcement an absolute detriment and
,
berious financial injury to the whole
country. The Wilson bill degraded the
American people to penury ami want ,
iud increased the nation's indebtedness
at a war ratio , while the Dingley hill

the country , paid the running expenses

The Ce of Shoddy.
There ne\er was a time in the his
tory of tbe woolen industry of this o ;
country when the consumption of
shoddy wss as great as under the Wil
son bill. Contrary to every contention
af the free wool advocate , the con
sumption of shoddy increased while
tbe consumption of wool decreased. 01
The reason for this seeming contradic 01X
tion is obvious. A narrow home mar m
ket , made doubly FO by excessive com i :
petition from abroad , labor idle and c j
not in position to pay prices for goods ,
the country poor and only meagerly
employed , were forces which operated 01
to create a demand for the lowest kind 11
3f stuff conceivable. The imports of si
wool which cur contemporary places siai
before its readers have no bearing up
on the issue which it has raised , for
the large imports of 1897 were stimu
lated by the speculation promised in
ths rciraposition of the wool duty. The
imports do not in any sense indicate
the consuming demand for wool. The
country is using a large quantity of
shoddy today , and it will continue to
use a large quantity until it gets be
yond the fatal influence of the Wilson
bill. The editor of the Record has
studied tariff matters sufficiently to
have given him more light and guid
ance upon this question than his ar
ticle indicates. Textile Manufactur

The Turn In the I.unc.
Industrial activity in the United
States is far more general and vigor
ous than the chronic growler is willing
to admit. This is a big country , and a
great deal of business can ue going on
without any particular stir or noise
being made about it. Elephants fail to
perspire under light loads. In the state
of New York not less than 1,390 new :
manufacturing concerns have started
in business this year , and 1.5CO old
firms that had closed their doors have
started operations again. Some Wl
manufacturers applied for permission
to run their plants overtime , and 50-
000 extra hours of labor is the record
cf these firms. In comparison with
the figures of 1S97 some 40,000 more
persons are now employed than in tha * .
year. Instances of a like nature might
be multiplied in which the hands em
ployed by some firms have been nearly
doubled , one steel company alone add
ing 1,800 men to its pay roll. We have
reached the turn in the Jane at last.

A T'ortunnto
Those who have been so vigorously
arguing that the protective tariff sys
tem would ruin our foreign trade find
themselves , as usual , completely re
futed by facts and experience. Our ex
ports are great beyond all precedent
and it cannot even be said that this is
due entirely to our grain exports to
meet deficiencies abroad , for the state
ment alluded to shows that we have ,
for the period designated , exported
more manufactures than we have im
ported. The balance of trade being so
immensely in favor of the United
States accounts for the great intlow of
gold. It is most fortunate for this
country that at this particular time
this has bean the case , otherwise the
government might have been embar
rassed even more seriously than it was
during the Cleveland administration ,
when the president was compelled to
sell bonds to replenish the gold reserve
in the treasury and maintain the pub
lie credit. Wilkes-Barre Record.
"Protection on Purpose. "
The United States claims the right ,
and exeicises it vigorously , to carry
out a policy of "protection on pur
pose. " It is a discriminating policy , in
tended to favor the manufacturers of
this country and to be prohibitory of
certain lines of manufactures when for
any reason it is desired to develop or
favor those lines at home. It has
often happened that cur tariff policy [
has seriously disarranged the manufacturing - ]
facturing industries of Europe , and '
caused bitter and unavailing protests
