CHAPTER XVIII Continued
The deputies Dolores repeated
slowly The softened color and gentle
expression disappeared from her face
the drew her hands away from Doras
dinging fingers she pushed back the
hair that had slipped down on her
forehead Then the deputies had been
searching for her father That was
what those men were there for that
T morning when they stopped and asked
of her where he was
And if those men of the law came
for him when he was not there when
every one knew that lie was not there
and sought for him over on the oppo
site mountain among its dangers
would they not come at any time for
him to prove their case Might they
not even insist upon taking him over
to the town in spite of his condition
Unconsciously her fingers closed over
the flowers in her lap crushing them
relentlessly
Two soft hands released the flowers
and as Dora wiped away the red stains
of the blossoms from her cousins
Lands she said with a sweet laugh
Dolores what is the matter See
what you have done to the poor pret
ty flowers you have killed them
their blood is on your hands and your
hands have stained mine
The effect of her words on Dolores
was startling She drew away her
hands sternly and arose to her feet
clutching the door post to steady her
self her face was white and her eyes
wide and terrified Youig Green re
turning from up the mountain heard
Doras last words and turned away
with a face as pallid as Dolores
Dora arose quickly and clasped her
hands around her cousins arm raising
her sweet penitent face to hers
Dolores Dolores I did not mean
that I was only joking I could not
have meant it I would not have said
such a thing for the world I forgot
you were not used to me and
The words ended in a violet fit of
coughing that racked the slender
frame pitifully Raising her handker
chief to her lips she sank upon the
step
Young Green entered the house un
noticed and spoke to Mrs Allen who
came out at once and sat down beside
Dora placing her arm around her with
low tender words of- comfort
Young Green came out with a cup
of water and Mrs Allen thanked him
with a grateful glance but as she took
it and placed it to Doras lips she
glanced at Dolores and her glance
was full of hate while young Green
himself for the moment dared not
meet her eyes for fear of betraying
what was in his mind and heart
Will she lie down and rest asked
Dplores presently still standing at a
distance from her speaking as though
her lips were stiff
I At sound of her voice Dora opened
fier eyes slowly and looked up at her
with a faint smile but Mrs Allen
without replying motioned to Charlie
who understanding her wish crossed
over to the bedroom and tapped light
ly on the door Dr Dunwiddie opened
it at once and after a whispered word
or two he went out to the girl while
young Green entered the quiet room
Johnson lay in a stupor among the
pillows his sunken eyes closed his
cruel lips apart showing the discol
ored teeth within his short white
beard was coarse and thin and lent
additional repulsiveness to the narrow
face The young man stood at the
bedside looking long and earnestly at
the face of the other until the expres
sion of wonder and horror slowly
gave place to one of pity
Poor fellowhe said to himself
poor fellow Surely he has suffered

Dolores S Did Not Mean That
enough already why not leave him in
peace to God and his conscience
Forgive as ye would be forgiven
Friend go in peace Truly I have
ned of forgiveness and should not
pull down the bridge over which I
myself must pass But how such a
woman as she could have come from
such a nature as his is a prohlem
My poor tender hearted girl how she
suffered just now and I could do noth
ing
Dr Dunwiddie meanwhile went out
to the group in the sunny doorway
full of kind
His grave dark face was
ness as he bent over the frail girl
and spoke to Mrs Allen
She must lie down at once he said
and be kept perfectly quiet for a
-while No you must not walk as
-
J
she attempted to rise Allow me Miss
Johnson
He raised her in his arms as though
she were in truth a child and carried
her to the settle between the south
windows She did not speak until
Mrs Allen brought her beef tea and
fed her with tender care then half
rising among the pillows whiter than
they she asked faintly with a wistful
ness In her eyes that sent an angry
pang through the womans heart
Where is Dolores Nurse Allen
I want Dolores
Mrs Allen called sharply in a voice
that caused Dora to look up at her in
wonder
Come in at once Dolores Dora
wishes you
Dr Dunwiddie hearing the words
and catcilng sight of the womans
face crosesd the room and spoke to
Dolores his voice low with kindness
She started when he addressed her
and turned obediently with one swift
startled glance up into Ins face and
entered the room half hesitatingly
Dora put out her hand as she
crossed the room
Dolores she said entreatingly
Dr Dunwiddie turned quickly away
and entered the inner room where his
friend was waiting for him
By and by when she was better
Dora sat up among the pillows and
drew Dolores down beside her hold
ing her hands caressingly between her
own smoothing the tense slender
fingers now and then with pathetic
tenderness as though to atone or
soften her careless bounding words
She leaned her pure pale face against
the gray window casing that the soft
low wind with its subtle odor of pines
should blow upon her Her large gray
eyes grown black with a half shy
love and pleading rested on her cous
ins grave face And she did not
know that the slender shred of pale
blue ribbon lay safely hidden in the
depths of the doctors pocket as he
re entered the sick room beyond
They talked long there at the cool
south window she smaller girl hold
ing her cousins hands closely in hers
telling her of the world beyond the
chained mountains of the life that
throbbed and pulsed out of her sight
Dolores listened in silence wonder
ing more and more how this girl could
care to love her could care to have her
for her cousin
We will paint together Dolores
she said and sew and play You
shall sing and I will accompany you
on my guitar and you shall sing and
accompany yourself for the guitar
will just suit your voice and how you
would look in an old gold gown with
warm colored roses about you play
ing a guitar its broad ribbon across
your shoulders your eyes just as
they are now Oh such a soul as
there is in them at this minute Do
lores Johnson The men will love you
and the women must Dolores Do
lores I cannot wait I wish I might
take you right now
She paused breathless smiling sit
ting erect holding Dolores by her two
young arms her sweet face flushed
with excitement
At that moment Dr Dunwiddie
opened the bedroom door and spoke
to Mrs Allen and she entered with
him young Green coming out
Dora flushed as she saw him and
she aroused from the settle shaking
her head sunnily
Mr Green I beg your pardon for
detaining you I do indeed Truly I
did not think
He smiled reassuringly at her
It has been pleasant to me Miss
Johnson so pleasant that I had for
gotten the case on at eleven at home
It is now ten minutes of that hour
and if you will pardon my leaving you
I will send the carriage for you at
any time you name
Dolores did not move or speak The
case on hand Her ears seemed sharp
to catch and hold such sentences
These words only were clear the rest
were distant and jumbled Even when
he spoke to her she seemed incapable
of hearing or replying That her si
lence was caused by anything he said
he did not imagine but he was grow
ing accustomed to her silence
I wish I could stay with you al
ways Dora said softly when the
young man had gone but I cannot
leave father Dolores you know You
do not blame me I am sure And I
will come over every day or whenever
I can Father would have come over
with me this morning but Judge
Green wished him to be in court They
have a strange case on hand and I am
so interested in it arent you Do
lores About the laming of young Mr
Greens beautiful mare you know I
believe they have some new evidence
to be heard this morning Young Mr
Green was to have been there early to
attend to some important matter be
fore court opened and here I have
detained him
Still Dolores did not move orSpeak
In a vague manner the thought pre
sented Itself to her that one of the
marble gods Dora had been telling her
about could scarcely be more like
stone than she and she wondered too
in that strange half sense if these
marble men and women were capable
of suffering as human men and wom
en And Dora continued in her pw
voice rising and pulling Dolores by
the hand for her to follow
Let us go out of doors cousin
mine it is so beautiful there with the
pines- and the mountains I feel as
thoajsh God were very near in tho el
lence of the hills and to be alone
with silence is to be alone with God
but I think he is somehow nearer in
the hearts of his humanity You have
not even a church here Dolores Why
what do you do with no church nor
schools nor anything
And Dolores driven at last to speak
asked mechanically Why should we
have a church and what is a church
CHAPTER XIX
Times Developments
Johnson slowly recovered the days
passed and the weeks while he lin
gered weak and complaining Dolores
presence annoyed him and drove him
to fits of temper until Dr Dunwiddie
advised her to remain away from him
as much as possible
Dr Dunwiddie regularly drove over
to see Johnson once a week and Mrs
Allen remained in the low unpainted
house In the miast of its desolate gar
den filling the rooms with her pres
ence but daily growing more hardened
toward the quiet girl who was winning
Doras affection away from her she
It Is So Beautiful There
told herself in excuse for her un
friendly feeling but the girl herself
buried in other thoughts believed it
was from the kindness of her heart
that she talked to her so often during
the long evenings of the life outside
of the quiet settlement and of the man
ners she would there be expected to
copy and sne accepted in silence the
many words of advice as to her lack
of pride in allowing young Green to
see so clearly her feelings toward him
and the cautioning uttered with a
kindly smile or soft touch on her arm
against allowing herself to be so in
fluenced by almost an utter stranger
who was kind to her only out of pity
and who could never care for her
other than as the merest acquaintance
she the daughter of the blacksmith
who was waited for to prove the malice
in the laming of his mare
The woman knew well the stories
adrift in the settlement that had
somehow come to her she scarcely
knew how herself and of the girls
dread of what might follow the prov
ing of the case waiting in the town
for her fathers presence That the
girl had never done her harm to cause
this feeling of hatred she would not
believe Had she not won Doras heart
in a fashion she could never do Could
she accept this unmurmuringly Was
there nothing she could do to hurt the
girl in Doras eyes And if that were
impossible and she soon learned that
it was was it impossible for her to
wound the girl herself in every way
conceivable to a narrow mind

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE DARK
German Professor Says Light s Not
Needed for Making Pictures
The light is not needed for the
printing of photographs is a discov
ery which has been made by Dr Wil
helm Oswald professor of chemistry in
the University of Leipsic He produces
the required changes in the sensitized
paper by the use of silver on nega
tives treated with a solution of per
oxide of hydrogen The presence of
silver causes the elements of the solu
tion to react against each other In
a very short time in those places
where there is silver in the negative
the solution will disappear in the
other spots remain This invisible pic
ture is then transferred to gelatine
paper and finally developed by iron
sulphate in solution Gallic acid is
then applied and the result is a genu
ine ink picture Dr Oswald declares
that in this method the sensitized
paper will keep indefinitely and the
silver can be used over any number of
times He says the process is far
cheaper and quicker than any now in
use besides requiring no light By it
any design or drawing can be quickly
copied

THE EXTRA SESSION
NECESSITY FOR IT SEEMS TO BE
DISAPPEARING
There Is No Probability of Agreement
on Currency Legislation and Noth
ing Is to Be Gained by Forcing
Action on the Cuban Treaty
The necessity for an extra session
seems to be disappearing It was
given out some weeks ago that the
President had determined upon Nov
9 as the date on which Congress
should assemble in extraordinary ses
sion to consider currency legislation
and the consummation of the Cuban
eciprocity treaty Since then reports
iave been current of an intention to
name a date early in October There
s gratifying reason to anticipate that
the earlier date will not be the one
selected Members of both Houses of
Congress are as a rule strongly averse
to assembling in extra session at all
much less at a date when state and
local politics require attention In
many of the state legislatures are to
be elected which are to choose
United States senators In all of the
states elections of one sort or an
other are to be held Hence the strong
objection to an October session
It is understood that a large major
ity of senators and representatives are
also opposed to an extra session in
November They argue that inas
much as Congress is able to assemble
the first week in December for the
regular session they should not be
called to Washington in November
unless some pressing emergency
exists which requires prompt action
They can perceive no such emergency
iney know of no legislation which
could not be as well or better attended
to at the regular session which be
gins early in December Currency
legislation they maintain presents no
such urgency and the Cuban question
contains any reference to tariff rcvla
Ion it will be about as follows W
favor lowering the tariff on sucl
articles as may be deemed unentitled
to protection and raising the schedult
on such other articles as need furthei
succor This vague and dolightfullj
indefinite declaration would be broad
enough to permit the gathering of ah
sorts of tariff Republicans All could
equally enthuze and after the vie
tory indulge in an exciting famllj
fight over the interpretation of the
ambiguous plank Let us lose nc
sleep however in contemplating the
possibility of the Republican part
adopting a tariff revision plank menac
ing to the present schedule of rates

Best Tariff for Revenue
The customs receipts during the
last fiscal year amounted to 283891
719 Their magnitude suggests that
the best tariff for revenue is a pro
tective tariff and not a tariff for rev
enue only Whenever the lree traders
have attempted to frame a tariff on
the latter lines it has invariably re
THIS OLD HEN VILL SET NEXT YEAR AS USUAL
involves no exigency justifying the
unusual and hazardous proceeding of
an extra session So marked is the
difference of opinion as to the proper
measure for imparting elasticity to the
currency that there is no prospect of
an agreement and hence no prospect
that final action could be had on a
currency bill prior to the time for the
regular session As to the Cuban
treaty if American growers of sugar
and tobacco are to be robbed of the
protection guaranteed to them in the
Dingley tariff and solemnly pledged to
them in the national Republican plat
form they can be as effectively robbed
in December or January as in October
or November
Extra sessions of Congress are seri
ous things All Presidents heretofore
have resorted to them with great re
luctance Even in the presence of so
grave a condition as that which exist
ed in the early part of 1897 when hun
dreds of millions worth of foreign
goods were being hurried to this coun
try in anticipation of the higher duties
certain to be imposed by the Repub
lican party and when all labor and
industry clamored for a speedy res
toration of adequate protection even
under these circumstances President
McKinley was loath to call an extra
cession and only consented to do so
as the result of strong pressure and
strenuous urgency on the part of the
business interests If President Mc
Kinley was reluctant to break prece
dents and summon Congress into ex
traordinary session to pass the Ding
ley tariff in much more re
luctant should President Roosevelt be
to take a step so fraught with risks
on the eve of a great Presidential
election
Currency legislation being practi
cally impossible because of the failure
of those leading in the movement to
agree upon any plan an extra session
either in October or in November
need not and should not be called on
account of the currency As to the
Cuban question if there is to be a
fight over it inside the Republican
party in Congress surely there should
be no precipitate haste in bringing
on that fight Let us have peace as
long as we can
Tariff Revision
Many Democratic some independ
ent and a scattering few Republican
newspapers over the country are in
sisting that the Republican party in its
next platform declare for tariff re
vision In the meantime Uncle Mark
Hanna and his associate standpatters
just laugh It is pretty safe to as
sume that if the Republican platform
suited in a deficit High duties prop
erly applied promote production in our
own country and through the conse
quent prosperity enable us to in
crease our imports of articles which
we do not really need but which with
the perversity of human nature we
are willing to pay more dearly for
on that account San Francisco
Chronicle
Trade Statistics
English papers to prove that Great
Britain is not retrograding under free
trade assert that the aggregate for
eign trade of their country is 155 per
capita while that of the United
States is only 45 per capita Hence
Great Britain is three or more times
as prosperous as the United States
Let us look at one item in the propo
sition We are in round figures buy
ing 100000000 worth of foreign
sugar year by year and equally ex
porting a like value with which to pay
for the sugar Sugar adds to our sta
tistical evidence of prosperity 200
000000 or 250 per capita per annum
If we made all of our sugar and paid
our own farmers 100000000 for it we
would by this standard of prosperity
all lose 250 per year
The Democratic Position
Whatever the Democrats of Iowa
stand for as to the Tariff is represent
ed in the demand for a tariff
for revenue only What they allege
with reference to trust made goods is
no more than appeal to prejudice
What they are after is to get rid of
protective duties altogether The
Democratic position is that the way
to correct abuses is to destroy busi
ness That is not the Republican posi
tion The distinction is easily marked
