Sequel to “ The Bow of Orange Ribbon.”
A LOVE STORY BY AMELIA E. BARR
(Copyright, 1900. by Amelia E. Barr)
CHAPTER XI.—(Continued.)
“Does he remember how he was
hurt?”
“He declares his men mutinied, be
cause instead of returning to New
York, he had taken on a cargo for the
East India company, and that the
blow was given him by his first or sec
ond mate. He vows he will get well
and find his ship and the rascals that
stole her; and I should not wonder if
he does. He has will enough for any
thing. Madame desires to see you,
Cornelia. Can you go there with me
in the morning?"
“I shall be glad to go. Madame Is
like no one else.”
“She is not like herself at present.
She has but one thought, one care,
one end and aim in life—her hus
band."
Cornelia was taken to the dim un
canny drawing-room by Ameer, and
left among its ill-omened gods, and
odd treasuretrove for nearly half an
hour. When madame at length came
to her, she looked ten years older. Her
wonderful dark eyes glowing with a
soft tender fire alone remained un
touched by the withering hand of anx
ious love. They were as vital as ever
they had been, and when Cornelia said
so, she answered, “That is because
my soul dwells In them, and my soul
is always young. I have had a year,
Cornelia, to crumble the body to dust,
but my soul made light of it for love’s
sake. Did your father tell you how
much Capt. Jacobus had suffered?”
“Yes, madame.”
“Poor Jacobus! Till I be key-cold
dead, I shall never forget my first
sight of him in that dreadful place—”
and then she described her overwhelm
ing emotions when she perceived he
was alike apathetic to his pauper con
dition, and to her love and presence.
There never came a moment during
the whole visit when it was possible
to speak of Hyde. Madame seemed
to have quite forgotten her liking for
the handsome youth, it had been swal
lowed up in her adoring affection for
her restored husband.
One morning, however, the long
looked-for topic was introduced. “I
had a visit from Madame Van Heems
kirk yesterday afternoon,” she said,
“and the dear old Senator came with
her to see Capt. Jacobus. While they
talked madame told me that you had
refused that handsome young fellow,
her grandson. What could you mean
by such stupidity, Miss Moran?”
Her voice had just that tone of in
difference, mingled with sarcastic dis
approval, that hurt and offended Cor
nelia. She felt that it was not worth
while to explain herself, for madame
had evidently accepted the offended
grandmother's opinion and the mem
ory of the young Lord was lively
enough to make her sympathize with
his supposed wrong.
“I never considered you to be a
flirt,” she continued, “and I am aston
ished. I told Madame Van Heemskirk
that I had not the least doubt Doctor
Moran dictated the refusal.”
“Oh, indeed,” answered Cornelia,
with a good deal of spirit, and some
anger, “you shall not blame my father.
W1
wrote and asked me if he could come
and see my father about our marriage,
on a certain night, i answered his
letter with all the love that was in
my heart for him. and told him to
come and see my father that very
night. He never came. He never sent
me the least explanation. He never
wrote to me, or spoke to me again."
“If what you have told me be so—
and I believe it is—then I say Lord
George Hyde is an intolerable scoun
drel."
“I would rather not hear him spo
ken of in that way."
“Very well! I would rather have a
man ‘intolerably rude’ like my nephew
Rem. than one like Lord Hyde who
speaks W’ell of everybody. Upon my
word, I think that is the worst kind
of slander!”
“I think not.”
“It is, for it takes away the reputa
tion of good men by making all men
alike. But this, that, or the other, I
saw Lord Hyde in devoted attendance
on Lady Annie. Give him up totally.”
“I have done so,” answered Cornelia.
And then she felt a sudden anger at
herself, so much so, that as she walk
ed home, she kept assuring her heart
with an almost passionate insistence,
“I have not given him up! I will not
give him up! I believe in him yet!”
CHAPTER XII.
A Heart That Waits.
Late summer on the Norfolk
Broads! And where on earth can the
lover of boats find a more charming
resort? Close to the Manor of Hyde,
the country home of Earl Hyde in Nor
folk, there was one of these delightful
Broads-—fiat as a billiard table, and
hidden by the tall reeds which border
ed it. But Annie Hyde lying at the
open window of her room in the Manor
House could see its silvery waters,
and the black-sailed wherry floating on
them, and the young man sitting at
the prow fishing, and Idling, among
the lilies and languors of these hot
summer days.
An aged man sat silently by her, a
man of noble beauty, whose soul was
in every part of his body, expressive
and impressive—a fiery particle not
always at its window, but when there,
infecting and going through observers,
whether they would or not.
There had been silence for some
time between them, and he did not ap
pear disposed to break it, but Annie
longed for him to do so, because she
had a mystical appetite for sacred
things and was never so happy and so
much at rest as when he was talking
to her of them.
“Dear father,” she said finally, “I
have been thinking of the past years,
in which you have taught me so
much.”
It is better to look forward, An
nie,” he answered. “The traveler to
Eternity must not continually turn
back to count his steps, for if God
be leading him, no matter how danger
ous or lonely the road, ‘He will pluck
thy feet out of the net.’ ”
As he spoke these words Mary
Damer entered, and she laid her hand
on his shoulder and said, “My dear
Doctor Roslyn, after death what then?
we are not all good—what then?”
He looked at her wistfully and an
swered, “I will give you one thought,
Mary, to ponder—the blessedness of
heaven, is it not an eternity older than
the misery of hell? Let your soul
fearlessly follow where this fact leads
it; for there is no limit to God’s
mercy.”
Then ne rose ana went away, and
Mary sat down in his place, and Annie
gradually came back to the material
plane of everyday life and duty. In
deed Mary brought this element in a
very decided form with her; for she
had a letter in her hand from an old
lover, and she was much excited by
its advent, and eager to discuss the
particulars with Annie.
“It is from Capt. Seabright, who is
now in Pondicherry,” she explained.
"He loves me, Annie. He loved me
long ago, and went to India to make
money; now he says he has enough
and to spare; and he asks me if I
have forgotten.’
“There is Mr. Van Ariens to con
sider. You have promised to marry
him, Mary. It is not hard to find the
right way on this road, I think.”
“Of course. I would scorn to do a
dishonorable or unhandsome thing.
But is it not very strange Willie Sea
bright should write to me at this
time? How contradictory life is! I
had also a letter from Mr. Van Ariens
by the same mail, and I shall answer
them both this evening.” Then she
laughed a little, and added, “I must
take care and not make the mistake
an American girl made, under much
the same circumstances.”
“What was it?” inquired Annie
languidly.
“She misdirected her letters and
thus sent ‘No’ to the man whom of alP
others, she wished to marry.”
As Mary spoke a soft brightness
seemed to pervade Annie's brain cells,
and she could hardly restrain the ex
clamation of sudden enlightenment
that rose to her lips.
“Mary,” she said, “what a strange
incident! Did you know the girl?”
“I saw her once in Philadelphia. Mr.
Van Ariens told me about her. She Is
the friend of his sister the Marquise
de Tounnerre.”
“I am sorry for that unfortunate
American girl.”
\ —r^ZJ_|_&
“I have been thoughtless, selfish-”
He knew nothing whatever of Lord
Hyde’s offer until I had been subjected
to such insult and wrong as drove me
to the grave’s mouth. Only the mercy
of God and my father's skill, brought
me back to life.”
“Yes, I think your father to be won
derfully skilful. Doctor Moran is a
line physician; Jacobus says so.”
Cornelia remained silent. If ma
dame did not feel interest sufficient in
her affairs to ask for the particulars
of one so nearly fatal to her, she de
termined not to force the subject on
her. Then Jacobus rang his bell and
madame flew to his room to see
whether his want had received proper
^ attention. Cornelia sat still a few
t* moments, her heart swelling, her eyes
filling with the sense of that injustice,
harder to bear than any other form of
wrong. She was going away, when
madame returned to her and some
thing in her eyes went to the heart of
the older woman.
“I have been thoughtless, Cornelia,
selfish, I dare say, but I do not wish to
be so. Tell me, my dear, what has
happened. Did you quarrel with
George Hyde? And pray what was it
about?”
“We never had one word of any
kind, but words of affection. He
"So am I. She is a ifreat beauty.
Her name Is Cornelia Moran; and her
father Is a famous physician in Neir
York.”
“And this beauty had two lovers?"
"Yes: an Englishman ot noble birth;
and an American. They both loved her.
ad she loved the Englishman. They
must have both asked her hand on the
same day. and she must have an
swered both letters in the same hour:
and the letter she intended for the
man she loved, went to the man she
did not love. Presumably, the man
she loved got the refusal she intended
for the other, for he never sought her
society again; and Mr. Van Ariens
told me she nearly died in conse
quence."
“And what became of the two lov
ers, Mary?"
"The Englishman went back to
England: and the American found an
other girl more kind to him."
“I wonder what made Mr. Van
Ariens tell you this story?”
"He talked much of his sister, aijd
this young lady was her chief friend
and confidante.”
"When did it happen?”
“A few days after his sister’s mar
riage.”
“Then the Marquise could not know
of it; and so she could not have told
“Your servant, ladles.”
her brother. However In the world
could he have found out the mistake?
Do you think the girl herself found it
out?”
“That is inconceivable,” answered
Mary. “She would have written to
her lover and explained the affair.”
“Certainly. It is a very singular in
cident. I want to think it over—how
—did—Mr. Van Ariens—find—it—out,
I wonder!”
“Perhaps the rejected lover con
fided in him.”
“What did Mr. Van Ariens say
about the matter? What did he
think? Why did he tell you?”
“We were talking of the Marquise.
The story came up quite naturally. I
think Mr. Van Ariens felt sorry for
Miss Moran. Of course he did. Will
you listen to Capt. Seabright’s letter?
I had no idea it could affect me so
much."
“But you loved him once?”
“Very dearly.”
“Well then, Mary, I think no one has
a double in love or friendship. If the
loved one dies, or goes away, his
place remains empty forever. We.
have lost feelings that he, and he only,
could call up.”
At this point in the conversation
Hyde entered, brown and wind-blown,
the scent of the sedgy water and the
flowery wood3 about him.
“Your servant, ladies,” he said gay
ly, “I have bream enough for a dozen
families, Mary; and I have sent a
string to the rectory.”

The Northwest Territory.
The Canadian government has is
sued a censr^ bulletin, which gives
statistics as to agriculture in Alberta,
Assinlboia and Saskatchewan, which
united comprise the Northwest terri
tory. The total area of these terri
tories is 190,963,117 acres. Of this
area, 75.99 per cent is unimproved.
Field crops, exclusive of hay, occupy
53 per cent of the improved land, but
only a fair beginning has been made
with fruit trees and vegetables. The
area of land in wheat, oats, barley,
rye, corn, peas, potatoes and other
field roots in 1891 was 194,773 acres,
an increase in a decade of 333 pel
cent.
New Method in Photography.
Katatypy, the new method in pho
tography, is described as follows:
“Over the finished negative is poured
a solution of hydro-superoxide. This
leaves, after the evaporation, a uni
form layer of peroxide of hydrogen.
Soon the silver of the plate works
upon this peroxide and produces a cat
alytic dissolution wherever there is
silver, while In the places free from
silver the peroxide remains. By this
means an invisible picture of hydro
superoxide is produced upon the plate.
This picture can be printed from the
plate directly upon common paper, to
which the image is transferred.”
Danger of Gas Poisoning.
The modern method of mixing coal
gas with “water gas” greatly in
creases the amount of carbon
monoxid in the gas supplied for il
lumination. Hence an alarming in
crease in the number of cases of car
bon monoxid poisoning has recently
been noticed.
Good of Municipal Pawnshop.

CANCEL OF RISES
THREE THOUSAND PROMOTIONS
WITHDRAWN BY PAYNE.
LECAL MAXIMUM IS REACHED
The Postal Probe Continues, Mr. Heath
Being Notified of the Tulloch
Charges on Which Reports Were Ex
pected and Came Forth.
WASHINGTON—The promotions of
over 8,000 postofflee clerks throughout
the country, recently authorized, were
cancelled by Mr. Payne.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne reported to Mr. Payne that the
tabulation of clerks in each grade In
postofflces of the first class had been
completed. This work was undertaken
in acocrdanee with the order to rear
range the salaries of clerks already
classified, so that the number In the
several grades should not exceed the
number specifically prescribed by con
gress. The former classification was
made by George W. Beavers, just prior
to his sudden resignation as chief of
the division of salaries and allowances.
The new schedule approved by the
postmaster general, after transferring
6 per cent from grades where there
are vacancies, as authorized by a re
cent decision of the comptroller of the
eureney, makes it necessary to cancel
3.04G promotions in the several grades
in which there Is an excess above the
legal number and in which 7.042 pro
motions have been authorized. The
report says!
It will not be necessary in anv ease
to reduce any clerk, but simply to can
cel 3,046 out of 7,402 promotions here
tofore authorised to take effect on July
1, 1903. We will proceed at once to
ascertain exactly the number of promo
tions in each grade that it will be nec
essary to cancel at each postofflce and
will then inform the postmasters and
allow them to secure the increases
which must be cancelled.
Most of the excesses In the number
in the respective grades of clerks scat
tered throughout the United States at
first class presidential offices are in the
$900 and $1,000 per annum classes. The
excesses in grades are divided among
those grades as follows: Two hundred
and fifty-eight excess in the $700
grade, 862 in the $900 grade, 936 in
the $1,000 grade, 451 in the $1,100
grade, 243 in the $1,200 grade, 220 in
the $1,300 grade, 82 in the $1,400 grade
and 18 in the $1,500 grade.
The postmaster general to-day sent
to Mr. Heath a copy of the charges
filed by Mr. Tulloch, together with a
letter requesting any suggestion he
may submit on the subject. It is the
first official communication with Mr.
Heath during the Investigation. None
of the supplemental answers to the
postmaster general giving Mr. Tul
loch's definite charges have been re
ceived.
AFTER A POSTAL CLERK’S SCALP.
May Be Removed for Promoting Suits
Against Government.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Second As
sistant Postmaster General Shallen
barger has directed Svend Schibsby,
a railway postal clerk at Kansas City,
to show cause why he should not be
dismissed for promoting suits against
the government for traveling expenses
of postal employes. There are 9,000
railway postal clerks fn tlie country
and the purpose is to prevent a wide
spread movement having In view the
prosecution of a claim which the de
partment regards as preposterous.
The position of the postofflce de
partment is that the designated head
quarters of these clerks is the route
on which their runs are made, and not
the city or town where they may hap
pen to live. A case is now pending
in the court of claims in this city in
volving this question or their travel
ing expenses.
FENCES MUST COME DOWN.
Hitchcock Denies the Report That
Time Has Been Extended.
WASHINGTON.—Secretary Hitch
cock said Thursday that the report
that there had been extension of time
to July 1 for the removal of fences
around public lands used for grazing
purposes was incorrect.
An inquiry of this character came
to the interior department from Ne
braska. Shortly after the adjourn
ment of congress the department
issued orders to its agents directing
the removal of the fences, and the
law, the secretary said, would be car
ried out. “In some of the other states
the removal of the fences has been in
progress for a year or more.
Up in a Balloon.
PARIS.—Santos-Dumont made a
successful ascent in his steerable bal
loon at Neuilly Thursday afternoon in
the presence of 3,000 spectators, in
eluding the minister of finance, M.
Bouvier. At the Bois de Boulogne a
number of evolutions were gone
through amid the applause of the
spectators. After maneuvering foi
half an hour at a height of 600 feel

SOl'TH OMAHA.
CATTLE—There was a light run of
cattle here, but buyers seemed to be
rather indifferent. The beef steer mar
ket could best be described by calling
it about steady. It should be men
tioned. however, that the prices paid
were very uneven as Is very apt to be
the case when prices have been fluctu
ating back and forth as rapidly as
thy have this week. In some places
salesmen thought they got a little let
ter prices then they did yesterday,
while In other Instances they had a
hard time to do as well. The cow mar
ket was also about steady. The fea
ture of the trade was the poor demand
for good stuff and the good demand for
cheap stock. All the packers seemed
to be anxious for canner and cutters,
but did not care for the kinds selling
from $3.50 up. Buyers claim the reason
is that cow beef lias been costing them
too much on the hoof as compared with
steer beef. As compared with the close
of last week good cows are safely 25o
lower and In some places the decline
looks much worse than that. Canners
and cutters, however, are fully steady.
Bulls, veal calves and stags all sold In
Just about yesterday’s notches. There
were very fewr stockers and feeders on
hand and is generally the case at the
close of the week the demand was very
limited. Unless very desirable the few
that arrived had to sell a little easier.
HOGS—Receipts of hogs were again
moderate, but the same as has been
the case for some time past, prices con
tinued downward at all points. The
market here opened 5(g) 10c lower. The
the situation Improved as the morning
advanced until at close the big share
of the loss was regained. The general
market was Just about a nickel lower
than yesterday’s average. Trading was
quite brisk so that all the early arriv
als were disposed of in good season,
but some of the trains were late, which
delayed the close. The big bulk of the
hogs sold from $6.15 to $6.20, with the
choicer loads selling from $6.20 to
$6.27%.

PAYMENTS ARE LESS PROMPT.
Many Ask Time Who Formerly Dl«
counted Their Bills.
NEW YORK—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Weather conditions and the labor
situation are the dominant influences
in the business world. Unseasonably
high temperature at many points, es
pecially in the east, stimulated trade
in wearing apparel and other summer
merchandise to an unusual degree,
but had a most unsatisfactory effect
upon vegetation, which was promptly
reflected in diminished orders for sup
plies und in some cases there were
cancellations. More conservatism
was shown at the Interior, where ag
ricultural progress met with check,
and while no serious injury to the
great staple crops is yet reported, the
delay to the planting induces caution
among dealers. On the whole there
are fewer wage earners voluntarily
idle, yet the spirit of unrest has
caused the abandonment of some new
enterprises and postponement of oth
ers, which means less demand for
structural materials and labor. Pay
ments are also less prompt, time often
being asked where formerly cash
transactions for a slight discount were
the rule. Aside from these two ad
verse factors the trade Is favorable.

Breeding Sugar Beets.
The progress of the work in the
breeding of sugar beets is certainly
encouraging, says a recent circular of
the University of Illinois. About 300
individual beets wore analyzed in the
spring of 1902, the beets having been
saved from the 1901 crop, and the best
beets were selected from all of those
analyzed and were planted as seed
beets. Owing to the very wet season
only a small quantity of seed was pro
duced but this haB been saved and
will be planted in 1903. From the
best variety of beets grown during the
past season of 1902 more than 1,000
seed beets were carefully selected and
these Individual beets have already
been analyzed. About 200 of the best
beets from this lot of 1,000 are now
in cool storage and will be planted as
seed beets in the season of 1903.
These 200 seed beets are all exception
ally rich in sugar, the poorest beet
selected containing not less than 17
per cent of sugar and the richest con
taining as high as 23 per cent. It is
hoped that a considerable quantity
of very high grade sugar beet seed
may be produced from these seed
beets in 1903. When we remember
that beets containing 12 or 13 per cent
of sugar are considered very satis
factory for factory use, the possibility
of growing high grade pedigreed sugar
beet seed from such a stock of select
ed seed beets as the 200 we now have
in cool storage, will be apparent and
its importance will be appreciated.
In conclusion we may Bay that the
evidence of the investigations con
ducted during the past season points
very definitely to the conclusion, that
large yields of sugar beets of most
excellent quality can be produced In
Illinois, provided varieties are grown
which are adapted to our soils and
climate, and further provided that the
beets are properly planted on suita
ble soils and cultivated by methods
which have been shown by past ex
perience to be the most successful for
the growing of sugar beets.
Suggestions on Oat Growing.
Summarizing the results of some
experiments with oats, a bulletin of
the Ohio station says:
These experiments show that varie
ties of the Welcome type of oatB have
given the largest average yield per
acre and heaviest weight per meas
ured bushel; American Banner, Im
proved American, Colonel and Clydes
dale taking the lead.
On the somewhat sandy clay of the
station farm, plowing the ground for
oats, as compared with merely disk
ing It, has been Justified by addi
tional yield.
It has been more profitable to use
9 to 10 pecks of seed per acre than a
smaller quantity.
It has paid abundantly to sow only
the heaviest seed, as obtained by
thorough screening.
Seeding not to exceed 1 inch in
depth has brought larger yields than
deeper seeding.
It has been better to broadcast the
seed than to cover it two or three
inches deep with the drill. Shallower
drilling is strongly indicated.

Destruction by Gophers. i(
The amount of damage to farm
crops by these little pests Is very
great. It Is estimated that In 1901 the
damage to the alfalfa growers of Kan
sas from the ravages of the pocket
gopher was 9900,000. Grass, small
grain, corn, vegetables, etc., suffer,
largely from gophers. Their damage
Is of two-fold character in that they
not only destroy the growing grain,
but throw up little mounds ot dirt In
the fields to Interfere with cutting the
crops. The gophers also tramp down
and destroy each season a large
amount of grain, and It may be safely
said that In North Dakota the damage
to farm crops In the aggregate Is
greater than the estimated damage to
the alfalfa-growers of Kansas.—Kan
sas Report.
To Inoculate Soy Bean Fields.
From Farmers’ Review: The Di
vision of Entomology and Botany of
the Kentucky Agricultural Experi
ment Station will furnish free to a
limited number of applicants cultures
of soy bean root-nodule bacteria, with
directions for inoculating seeds.
These cultures are made at the sta
tion, and have been carefully tested
for some time past with most gratify
ing results. Cultures will be sent
preferably to those upon whose land
nodules do not develop spontaneously,
and with the understanding that each
one- receiving a culture will report re
sults.—H. Garman, Entomologist and
Botanist.
During the growing season of a fruit
tree, the sap enters at the fibrous
roots, passes up through the alburnum
or sap-wood, ascends to the extremi
ties of the branches, and is distributed
through the leaves. Emerging thus
from the uark and minute vessels of
the wood, it Is spread out and ex
posed to the action of the light. It
now becomes essentially changed In
character, enters into new combina
tions, and is charged with the mate
rials for the newly forming wood, ft
descends, not through the sap-wood,
out through the inner or living bark,
and deposits a new layer between the
bark and the wood.

tour of the principal towns of Italy,
