She hesitated a moment; her glance
fell upon the corner of a letter project
lag; from the pocket of his torn and
-dusty uniform; that might give her his
address; she leaned forward and took
it gently out. The address was, “Will
iam Cavendish, Esquire; The Admiral
ty. Whitehall;” the seal was unbroken.
The truth broke In on her Instantly;
-she called to the coachman and the car
riage stopped.
■"Home!” she cried, imperatively: the
horses were wheeled round. "Drlvo
fast!” she added, and they quickened
• their pace.
In a few minutes they stopped in
feont of No. 23 Bedford square. Dick
-< -opened his eyes.
“Are you there?” he asked; “I have a
letter—"
"Tes,” she said, gently, "I know; it
, shall be delivered at once; but now you
must come in with me.”
He obeyed, moving slowly and with
pain; she did not offer him help from
herself or her servants, for which he
«aa dimly grateful. In the hall stood
the colonel, bland as ever, and looking
as If he saw nothing unusual in Dick's
appearance or costume. Camilla has
tily- explained the case, Dick standing
hy silently the while, giving his whole
attention to controlling any expression
of the pain In his head, which was be
coming more and more severe.
“Perhaps,” said the colonel, “Capt.
Kstcourt will do me the honor of mak
ing use of my room In whloh to rest
from the fatigue of hta gallant struggle
r against superior numbers?”
Dick followed him upstairs, but
stopped short at the top of the .first
.Aght.
“I have a letter to deliver,” he re
seated In a tone of helpless obstinacy;
„ *11 will be too late.”
“If you will Intrust it <o me,” replied
’ the colonel, “I will send it directly; the
carriage is still at the door.”
They reached a room upon the floor
above, where M. de Montaut left his
guest In charge of a valet and returned
• downstairs with the letter in his hand.
At the drawing-room door he found Ca
snffla waiting for him.
■ “Tou would be doing mo a favor,”
, .she said, “by taking that letter yourself
V do Its address.”
.... He looked at her as If he were about
to ask a question, but apparently
changed his mind, and bowed Instead..
^ “Tour wish is in Itself a reason more
Hub sufficient,” he said, as though half
tha answer to his own thought; and he
went on down to the front door, and
- stepped into the carriage with some
thing like a crafty smile upon his hand

parlure Dick made his appearance in

of hts eyes that he was by no means out

;; -laughed, and put the matter lightly on
ehe aide.
“It Is my brother-in-law come back,”
yr- she said, in a tone of perfectly counter
Mted unconcern
Dick looked fixedly at her! in his eyes
«V -were dumb reproach and the Sadness of
cam unspoken farewell; about his mouth
gathered the lines of resolution, and,
- dor a moment, the curve of bitterness.
.She flushed, and all her manner
--changed Instantly, “bon1* misunder
stand me.” she cried Impulsively. "I
know what you have done, and loyalty
;• never fall of sympathy from me!”
'(Dm colonel's step was heard ascend
ing the stairs; She heard Dick stiffen
Nwisetf to bear the news of his unwel
«xne fortune, and felt, with a quick
y - wenae of surprise at her'own weakness,
that she was too much Interested to

made some incoherent excuse and as the

riedly and ran toward her own room
' • Breathless and confused. But she was
' -stayed In mid-course by a cry from M.

staging violently downstairs. She
; -fcirned halt round; the colonel came out

might be managed, but It Is a risk, and
If you could, without too much Incon
venience keep him for a couple of
nights at any rate—”
“Oh!” cried the colonel. Interrupting,
“do not think twice about It; conven
ience is nothing In a case of urgency,
and Capt. Estcourt Is a valued friend
of ours.”
The surgeon looked relieved, and
went away promising to return the
same evening.
Camilla for herself approved the ar
rangement made by her brother-in-law,
but she was at the same time surprised
at it. Ho had not only spoken of Dick,
with whom he was In no way Intimate,
as “a valued friend”.—that was, per
haps, only a piece, of his habitual po
liteness—but he had also readily en
tered Into a plan which did in fact^ln
volve a considerable Inconvenience, and
this was by no means so usual a thing
for him. At least, he always had a
personal motive for such acts, and she
was at a loss to see an adequate one
here; for the difficulty which he had
thus brought upon himself was no slight
one. The patient had been taken from
the drawing-room Into a spare-room
adjoining it on the same floor, and
separated from it only by a partition
wall of slight construction, through
which the sound of conversation was by
no means Inaudible. Now, it happened
by 111 fortune that on this very evening
matters were to be spoken of in that
drawing-room which must not be over
heard by any living ear. The meeting
vtos one which could not be postponed,
and' no other room in the house was
suitable for It, for it was to be In ap
pearance a merely social gathering.
And all this the colonel knew as well
as she did.
mey sai ac ainner sne anuaea to
the question while the servants were
absent from th« room.
“Yes," replied M. de Montaut. “It Is
unfortunate, but It would be Inhuman
to move our poor friend; his safety may
depend on his remaining; quiet."
"On his remaining quiet!” said Ca
milla. “Our safety will certainly depend
on that, if he does overhear us.”
“Eh bien, then we will remain quiet.”
“It will be his duty to Inform against
us,’ ’she replied.
“As an officer, true,” said her compan
ion, cooly; "but on this occasion the
gallant captain will not fulfill that duty,
for he has another more Imperative.”
She looked at him In doubt.
“The duty, I mean, of a loyal cheva
lier.”
"I know him better!” was the exclam
ation on her lips, but she checked It,
and hesitated for an answer.
“In reality,” he said, "we need fear
no such complication. I have Just recol
lected that the doctor said he Intended
to give his patient a composing draught
at an early hour this evening, so he will
hear no treason after all."
“You are sure?” she asked; "Bure, I
mean, that he will give It, and that It
will be effectual?”
“I will see to It myself, if you wish,”
he replied; "but I am surprised to find
you bo apprehensive for our security.
You used to think no risk too great to
run for the good cause.”
"In that,” she said, hotly, “I shall
never change; it is not that I am luke
warm, as you will see tonight!”
He bowed, and rose from the table to
open the door for her. Before they had
been In the drawing-room half an hour
the surgeon returned. He brought with
him the sleeping draught.
“That la a good Idea of yours," said
Camilla, as he produced It.
"To Colonel de Montaut belongs the
credit of suggesting It." was the reply,
"Really?” she said; "I should not have
suspected that.”
The colonel looked a little confused.
Within five minutes of the doctor's
departure the bell rang twice In rapid
succession, and three gentlemen were
ushered Into the drawing-room, where
Madame de Montaut was waiting to re
ceive them. A conversation on the most
general subjects at once began, but
there was an air of expectation In the
manner of all, and when the colonel
entered eve'ry one turned to him as
though with an unspoken Inquiry.
He greeted the two newcomers, and
turned to Madame de Montaut. "I
think we may begin now,” he said.
She looked at him and raised her
eyebrows interrogatively. He nodded to
signify that Dick was fast asleep, and
sat down at a small table, laying a
bundle of papers upon It.
“My friends,” he said, "I have sum
moned you to-night to propose a fresh
I attempt.” t
ne looxea at me races around him
and observed that Camilla was similar
ly occupied. His hearers showed by
their looks that they perfectly under
stood his meaning, but were either re
served or unenthuslastic In the matter.
"M. Carnac," he continued, with
grave politeness, bowing to the elderly
gentleman who sat nearest to him, “it
Is from you that we have learned to ex
pect a critical judgment. Are you not
of opinion that the time has come for
renewed activity?”
‘‘It has come again and again,” re
plied the person addressed, "but al
ways without result.”
“No doubt,” said the colonel; ‘‘but
that has been solely due to a want of
forethought and energy, which must
not occur again.”.
“Yes, Indeed!” exclaimed a short gen
tleman, with a beard, who was evi
dently an Englishman; “there have
been good enough plans laid, but no
one fit to be trusted with their execu
tion.”
The third of the visitors turned upon
the speaker.
“You will pardon me," he said, with
some acrimony, “If I differ entirely; It
is, In my opinion, the stay-at-homes
who are to blame. In devising impossi
ble methods of which they take' the
credit and others the danger!"
“Gentlemen,” said the colonel. In a
soothing tone, “you are both right, but
you both speak only according to your
own experience. You, Mr. Holmes, de
served success, but your subordinates
tailed, yoa. You.- M. le Comte, followed
your instructions with a courage and
loyalty whleh would have secured a
triumph If your directors had not made
a cruel mistake in their calculations.
These two fatal forms of error must be
avoided. We must think and act wfth
equal certainty, and all will be well.”
Mr. Holmes shook his head In sulky
silence. The Comte de Rabodanges ex
claimed, fiercely, "It Is too much to ex
pect; the cat does not offer her paw a
second time!”
During this altercation Camilla had
sat silent, but with growing Impatience;
her eyes flashed and her cheeks were
flery-red. The colonel, always ready to
turn the force of others to account for
his own purpose, hastened to give the
final impulse to her pent-up indigna
tion. He looked at her, and raised hla
shoulders and eyebrows In a. gesture of
resignation.
"You!” she cried; "you too despair at
the eleventh hour? What do these
doubts and recriminations mean? Do
none of you any more remember the
greatness of the cause you serve?
Have you begun to forget the emper
or?”
As the lightning of this word flashed
upon them her hearers started violent
ly.
“Ah!” she went on, with quickening
breath, “there Is magic in the name!
It is perhaps because you whisper it
so seldom that it has ceased of late to
stir you; let us be bolder in speech and
braver in action!”
“Madame,” replied M. Carnac, depre
catingly, and with a bow of genuine ad
miration, "your enthusiasm is heroic,
but it is not prudent; the boldness that
you preach is likely to bring discomfi
ture upon us all."'
"Discomfiture!” she cried with ringing
scorn. "What, then, does the timidity
you practice bring upon the emperor?
Are we to preserve our own freedom at
the price of his captivity, and amid the
luxury of a great capital to shut our
eyes to the misery of his exile on a lone
ly rock unfit for human habitation?”
There was an awkward silence. After
a moment's pause she went on again in
a more pleading tone.
*• MO IUI an AiiJ3ia.HL 1UOK uaCK,
she said earnestly, "upon the splendor
of his past career, and then consider to
what the rancor, of his enemies has
brought him. The man of aotion, for
whose deeds Europe was not wide
enough, confined within a circuit of a
dozen miles! The man of genius re
fused even the companionship of his
best-loved books! The commander of
armies with but a pair of lackeys at his
call; the maker and dethroner of kings
denied his royal title! Do you not -
know,” she cried, and her voice rang
deep again with anger, "do you riot
know that his house is but a molderlng
Jail, and his allowance a prisoner's pit
tance? Himself the most magnificently
generous of men, he has been driven by
sordid necessity to melt his plate; he
Buffers in health, he Is In danger. He—
Just heaven!—from the Inspiration of
whose life we drew the spirit that ani
mates our pwn!” ,
“Well spoken!” cried the colonel,
skillfully following up the advantage
she had gained for him: “well spoken!
And all that we then had shall soon be
ours again; is it not worth one more
effort my friends?”
“It is. Indeed," murmured M. Carnac,
with a sigh. The Comte de Rabodanges
grumbled, “If only it were the last.”
Mr. Holmes settled himself in hls chair.
“Well,” he said, bluntly, "let’s hear
your plan, if you've got one.”
The colonel untied his bundle of
papers and spread them out upon the
table in front of him.

ACCIDENTALLY HANQED,
A Philadelphia Child Meets with a Carious
Mishap—strangled by Her Clothes.
Hanging from a hole In the wicker
coach in which she bad been sleeping.
Mrs. Jeremiah J. Buck yesterday even-*
lng found her Hi-month-old daughter.
Jessie, dead, but with the warmth of
life still lingering In her tiny body, says
the Philadelphia Record. Mrs. Buck
lives with her husband at No. 2664 Tioga
Street, and it was when her husband
had returned from his work that the
mother went to awaken the child and
discovered the accident. Her screams
quickly brought assistance, and an In
vestigation disclosed the fact that the
baby’s death was the result of one of
the most peculiar accidents on record.
The little one had been placed in' the
old coach during the afternoon to take
a nap. The coach was In the second
story front room, and for some time had
been the baby’s sleeping place. It was
about six o’clock when Mr. Buck re
turned home from his work and asked
for Jessie. Mrs. Buck completed her
preparations for supper and went up
stairs to waken the child. To her sur
prise the coach seemed empty, and she
called Jessie, thinking she had gone to
hide, as she had done before. Receiving
no reply she looked closer, and In the
dim light saw what seemed to be a bun
dle protruding from a hole in the wick
erwork at one end of the coach. The
now frightened mother hastily procured
a light and to her terror found that
what she supposed was a bundle was
the naked body of her baby girl, hang
ing by her arm pits. Her clothing, bun
dled dp about her head-, had evidently
smothered her, while preventing the en
tire body from slipping through the
hole. The child had probably been rest
less In her sleep and had gradually
worked her body through the broken
wickerwork until stopped by the cloth
ing. The little one’s arms were stretched
above her head and she had evidently
been prevented from making an outcry
that could be heard. Snatching the still
warm body in her arms Mrs. Buck ran
screaming down stairs. Neighbors sent
for Dr. Schwartz, and the little one’s
body was bathed In mustard water.
Artittcial respiration was also tried, but
all efforts'were useless. The child was
dead. Jessie was a very pretty, golden
haired girl, the pet pt the neighborhood,
and her tragic death created quite a
sensatlon.
It Wm “Elevator Knee."
A woman who made her initial at
tempt recently to ride a wheel was dis
couraged to And that her knees seemed
stiff and very quickly tired of the effort
to work the pedals. Speaking to her
physician about it, he told her she was
undoubtedly affected with what is
known as "elevator knee." This was a
hitherto unknown malady to her, but it
has been referred to before in public
prints, and is a recognised affection not
uncommon with those whose life in a
"lift" apartment house almost does
away with the use of those knee muscles
exercised in going up and down stairs.

r
The Bounty Monnollsta.
Representatives of the Atlantic coast
shipping interests met in Philadelphia
July 3, to take action toward “securing
equitable protection, through national
legislation, for agriculture and ship
ping.” Among the resolutions passed
#as the following:
"Resolved, That since neither of the
two great unprotected industries can
derive any benefit from a tariff on im
ports, we call upon Congress to equal
ize the protection system by extending
to agricultural staples and American
shipping in the foreign trade that just
measure of protection to which they
are entitled, as long as protection Is the
controlling and public policy of this
nation, and that this be done by an ex
port bounty on the Btaples of agricul
ture and to American shipping in the !
foreign trade, either by a bounty on I
tonnage or a differential duty which I
shall discriminate in favor of American !
and against foreign ships, all to the
end that a restoration may be brought i
about of our merchant marine and
that the independent land-owning I
farmers of the nation may not be
driven into bankruptcy and ruin by the ;
competition of the cheap land and j
labor countries of the world.” !
This resolution is Incorrect. Both the
agricultural * and shipping industries j
can derive benefit from a tariff on im- ;
port3. It was by a tariff on imports, a ;
discriminating tariff, that the Amer- j
lean shipping interests were once so
prosperous. By a similar tariff on im- ■
ports, a discriminating tariff, Amer- :
lean shipping can again be restored, j
And we are heartily in favor of tho
renewal of this policy, which is so
simple and thoroughly effective. j
To say that the agricultural indus
tries of the country derive no benefit i
from a tariff on imports is equally un- '
true. What has been the experience of
farmers who grow wool or hops for in- '
stance? The necessity for a protect
ive tariff on foreign farm products will
become more and more apparent with I
each coming year as the farm supplies
of India, Austria, South America and
Russia increase in quantity and seek
markets' for their surplus.
We believe in giving both to agricul
ture and to shipping “that just meas
ure of protection to which they are en
titled,” but we do not believe in doing
so to the exclusion of the products of
our forests, our mines or our factories,
all of which were totally ignored by the
shipping and agricultural representa
tives at Philadelphia. '
Our farm products are the finest in
the world, as are the products of opr
shipyards, the manufactures of our
shipbuilders. Mr. Charles H. Cramp,
the great ship manufacturer of Phila
delphia, does not believe it would be a
good thing if the United States were a
manufacturing country alone. We
quite agree with Mr. Cramp and we are
glad that we are able to produce almost
every article of consumption that is a
necessity and a comfort to our daily
life.
As Mr. Cramp well knows, .we can
build in tbls country steamships second
to none In the world. It is equally '
true ot our sailing vessels. The idea
that we cannot build irop vessels Is
rubbish. We have the iron and we
have the steel in abundance and of the
best quality. It was not so much the
superiority of the iron and steel vessels
that caused the English shipyards to
give up building wooden vessels as it
was their inability to secure an abund
ant supply of the proper kind of timber
needed in shipbuilding at as low a cost
as they could procure the iron and steel.
The English shipbuilders were look
ing for cheapness In construction.
That was the general reason why they
abandoned wooden ships and gave the
preference to those built of iron and
steel. Without protection to our iron
and steel interests Mr. Cramp would not
today be ablet to manufacture the
splendid specimens of naval architect
ure of which his shipping yards are
capable.—American Economist.
Twenty •»®v«n WUe Men of Mnnchmter.
A wholesome lesson may bo learned,
even at this distance, Irorn a brief rela
tion of what befell twenty-seven un
wise silk manufacturers of Manchester,
Eng., something more than a quarter of
a century ago. , Tariff revisionists
(downward) may also find a note of
warning in the following bit of politico
economical history which has come to
us through a valued English contem
porary :
Prior to the adoption of the Cobden
idea in England the silk manufacturers
of that country were protected .and fos
tered by fairly adequate duties imposed
upon foreign imports, which duties
were, about 1S50, made the subject of a
memorial by twenty-seven of the prin
cipal manufacturers of Manchester to
Disraeli (then Chancellor of the Ex
chequer), who, with the strange blind
ness ot the froge who invited King
Stork to come a::d reign over them,
prayed that the duty on foreign manu
factured silks might be at onco abol
ished. They complained in their me
morial that their trade was in a de
pressed condition and their workpeople
not fully employed; regrettable facts
which they ascribed to the limited na
ture of the foreign demand for their
goods, “and that this limitation is at
tributable to the protective duty im
posed on foreign silks imported into
this country, the effect of such duty
being to create an impression in the
markets of the world that England is
unable to compete with the Continental
manufacturer in the production of silk
goods, and thus to throw the export
trade almost entirely into the hands of
their French and Swiss competitors.”
The frogs were hotly impatient to be
ruled by King Stork. The twenty-seven
Manchester manufacturers were no less
impatient for their doom. They begged
in the same memorial that the duty
might “be not partially and gradually
but totally and immediately repealed,
and thus to proclaim to the world that
the Manchester silk manufacturer de
nounced the so-called protection and
every aid a government can give; that
he is prepared to depend solely on his
own merits, and that he avows himself
capable of taking a higher position in
the race of competition, unfettered by
protection, than he has hitherto at
tained under its fostering care.”
Quos Deus vult perdure, prius de
mentat. This memorial was presented
in 1852; the duty was totally repealed in
I860, and one of the most remarkable
results was that every one of twenty
seven firms was extinguished, not one
being left to tell the horrid tale or to
draw a parallel between the fate of the
malcontent manufacturers and that of
the fretful frogs.—The American Silk
Journal. ' "
Tlie Tariff on Barley.
In 1832 a duty of 15 per cent ad va
lorem was placed upon foreign barley,
and It was fixed at 20 cents a bushel
In 1842. It was subsequently lowered
to 10 cents, but advanced to 30 cents
In 1890, and the result was that our
imports of barley fell off from 10,000,000
bushels to less than 2,000,000 bushels.
The 30 per cent rate given barley in
1894 is only 14 cents specific. The pro
duction of barley in the United States
increased nearly 118 per cent in the
past twenty years, from 32,000,000
bushels in 1873 to 69,869,000 bushels in
1893.
The result has clearly .proven that
our protective policy in favor of this
important agricultural product was
wise in the interests of the farmers
who were annually increasing the do
mestic output. By increasing the duty
on barley in 1890 we lost only about
half a million of revenue, in return for
which our farmers increased their prod
ucts 15,000,000 bushels over the average
for eight years. This increase in one
year was worth at least $6,200,000, mak
ing the loss of revenue of trifling com
parative importance.
The tendency was to draw farmers
away from wheat and corn, just as the
raising of beets for sugar would draw
them away from cotton in Kentucky,
Georgia, North and South Carolina and
Alabama. The gain in domestic bar
ley pi oduct, since the extra encourage
ment given it in 1890, ought to have
guarded it. Was the duty lowered in
1894 in the interest of Russian and
Canadian producers? It certainly was
a piece of legislation that the farmers
cannot regard with favor.
This subject was of concern to those
who framed our first tariff law in 1789.
At that time, when the subject of plac
ing a proper rate of duty on ale,beer and
porter was under consideration, Mr.
Fitzsimmons thought the manufacture
of those liquors “highly deserving of
encouragement,” as calculated to im
prove the morals of the people as fos
tering home manufacture. Mr. Law
rence favored a duty on them high
enough to give a decided preference to
American beer, as it “would tend to en
courage agriculture, because the malt
and hops consumed in their manufac
ture were the produce of our own soil.”
Mr. Sinnickson favored a protective
duty in order to increase the manufac
ture and t lessen the price, and inas
much as the raw material was produced
in this country, the agricultural inter
ests would be advanced. Mr. Madison
moved a duty of 8 cents on beer." He
did not think this would give a monop
oly, but hoped it would be such en
couragement as to induce the manu
facture to take deep root in this coun
try, in which case it would produce the
collateral good (agriculture) hinted at
by Mr. Sinnickson—the increase of bar
ley «and hops. Not a word was said
about revenue from agricultural prod
ucts. That was never a consideration
with the true democracy.—American
Economist.
Mrs. tirice gave a garaen party at
Newport Wednesday in which there
were trick dogs, a hypnotist, acrobats,

have furnished excellent entertainment

Senator Brice at Springfield, Ohio, the
same day. The senator seems to have
played the part of Svengali himself at
the Ohio convention and the silver men
were the fortune tellers predicting de
