There was a veil of annroval and then fol

"You on me that way, nnd for me, Margaret?

moved.
It was only by a supreme effort that he
kathered strength to follow her. Hhe divine i
something ol this mortal wunkness, for holding
hoi ; be young arm about him, she aide 1 his
fnlirlng footsteps Into the darksome tunnel.
For a fow moments neither spoke. Tue way
must be more than half traversed, Margaret
thought, us with beating heart she hurried
him onward. Suddenly sb Humbled, und she
felt the swaying of his poworful form against
her.
"Keopup, Mr. FMoher, keep up 1" she cried.
"Only a few more stops, sir, and we're safe.
Oh, God," for ho had fallen by her side ns she
spoke. "He has fainted, perhaps is dying, in

Hhe eauk on herknees beside htm and placed
her ear to bis heart. In tho solemn, dreadful
stillness she beard a taint pulsa'ion and knew

help. Tben horrible possibilities suggesting
tnemscives she pnued.
Any Instant a train might pass nnd. whnt If,
hall oonsclnus, he should move durlug ber
absence? Even now he ml-ht lie olose euough
to the irack to be swept into eternity by un
oncoming locomotive.
She beut, and drag, ing his prostrate body
close to the dump, slimy wall, felt shudder
ingly for the cruel steel of the track, so dan
gerously near. As her ban.l touched tbe rail
shs fancied she felt a vibration, but was It
fancy? Holding ber ear to tbe ground shn
listen d. There was a rumb!o as of thunder
and a faint quaking of ftlie earth beuoath her ;
tiirougn the onickness, a nory red eye illu
mined i bo far distance nnd an approaching
train was speeding oil toward the uarrow
way. .Un i Buret's oheek blnuoued and her lips
moved In prayer. An Instant later tbe lo?o-
motive had en ered tho tunnel and, with ono
terror-sirlakeu glance up at the swift, oncom
ing phan'om of sudden death, she threw her
protecting arms over Fletcher's form and sank
in:o merciful uuoonsoiousneis.
Joe D.irile, living In tbe town below, awoke
some time after midnight, could not sleeo.
tnd rising, walked to his window to see if the
lay had dawned. What was that in the direc

next was out under tbe fiery sky, dashing
with mad haste toward Murgaret's cot' ago.
I he door was uolaiaaed, and looking through
the rooms he found tbe house empty. Was it
possible that she hud ventured out upon such
anight?
He lighted a lantern lie found nar the door
nnd began searching for lootprluts. Yes,
those were hers: daiuty footsteps. Yet.
btran.'ely enough, instead of leading to tbe
nignway, tnsy pis'ed around to the pack or

tue truth came to him.
"Hood God I" he exclaimed : "she would nne
rl-k that for him I"
He kuew in his heart that love such as hers
would count death as nothing and he resolv
ed that bis should brave as much.
"And she such a obit of a girl," he half sob

fringe from a woman's shawl, lying just with

He recalled with a shudder that only a few
moments mutt have elapsed since the last

To his joy Margaret open d her Stan led

"Where am I. Joe? IIow came I in this

lantern and soon tbey were out of tbe noisome
place and at Margaret a door.
Fletcher was placet upon Margaret's bed
and then Ourtle asked meekly what more sue
wanted.
"I want the doctor, Joe," she said, "you go

to hor surprised look, he added:

Air. Iu common with mtny other D-uio-
crats. I cannot follow tho loaders of ihe party
a uenouncing uopuDUcan Frot ctlon as a
fraud upon the labor of tbe great majority o'
the American people for the bjo-illt of a fow ;
nor can I subscribe to the, l.ootrlne that a Pro-
tectlve lurid Is unconstitutional. I have no
poouulary Interest Iu mtiiui 'lures, but
know what Protection has done and ts doing
for this country. ' If it operates tor thn belief!
of the fow, I am not one of that few. I nm
oue of tbe many; one of the groat majority
boneflted by It, Including those who denounce
it for the sake of obtaining political ro ver.
If the leaders of a political party assembled
In national convention for thi purpose of
nominating candidates foe the Presidency and
Ylce-Presldoncy choose lo Multlfy thomselves
bfalsifylng history, they .cannot expect to be
followed by others who have any hubl's of
ludupendnntthought and action. The learned
pundits wbo were lately assembled nt Chicago
n national convention of the Democratic
party, adopted by a two-thirds vote, and
against the report of the Committee on Reso
lutions, the following as a "piank" lathe
Democratic platform:
We denounce Republican Protection ss a fraud
upon the labor of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of a few. We
doclure It to be a fundamental principle of the
DemiHiratlo party that tbe Federal Government
has no constitutional prfWer to Impose and col
lect tariff duties, except for tho purpose of rev
enue only. We demand that the collection of
such taxes be limited to the necessities of the
Government when honestly and economically
administered.
In drafting and voting for this resolution.
the members oltber showed dense Ignorance
of Amerloan political history, or thev manl
tested a purpose to win votei by dscuiving the
voters. I cannot, at the bidding of these
gentleraon, unlearn the lessons of my whole
life, Tbe greater part of my long life has been
passed In the study of American political his
tory and cons'ltutlonal law. If t ennnot claim
to be nn authority on such subject. I c in
point out to others tbe true rources from
which to devise Interpretations of the Const!
tution. These sources are not (o be found In
recent Congressional npeeohos, whether made
by members of one party or another. They
are to be found In the Interpretations riven
to the Constitution by the First Congross, by
Washington's administration, and by the sue-
needing administrations of Jefferson, Madison,
John Qulnoy Adams and Jackson.
I have been requsted by tbe ScreiAry of

40o,ifrte and mm many times that aiiioiinf
tor the hundredth time we reply to thh
questlou. There Is no earthly analogy be
tween the tariff on sugar which was a reve.
nne tariff -nnd the tariff on wool, for Instance,
nicn is a protective tariff. The former bus .
allied no domestic Industry of nny 'moment.
ttv ; practically no employment tn Amrlo.ia

sugar wis Imported, -and when It was
abolished tltoro was nd collapse of dement a

In exchange for 'lie tnilff a lo'untv. undoV
which th-y prosper even moro than bo'oie. .
Hut remove the duty on wool,-which now miv
tains tbe Irumonscly Important toiletry of

prosperous lloekinnstors." Auslrnliiiu m;d
Argentine wools would flood our 'markets (111. "
the An, eric d line wool industry was no nune.
After that wa.shoulil have-ho gipirant e that

Wo should b obliged lo take our chances a
that score. Hut Tiboat tho losses wo should
sustain Iu ibe slaughter of flvks for iholr tal

doubt.
Even froo sugar would not, perhaps, be re-s '
ceivlngtho eucomlnms pronouueed npnn it on
every hand had the American ugar indus'ry
not been securely protected agalust disssti-r Ij
th bounty. For. In that event, the cry nf dis- '
tress which would ere this h ive reached ui
from the Louisiana pluututious would, p r-
hups, cause us to pause and consider wbothor
it was wise to Impoverldi evon a lew ot uur
people.
To guard against such. s calamity to iha'
wool Interest, If we nretocirry out Btrioilf ,
the comparison with sugar, we should iie-nl to
provide for a bounty on American woolsulTl.
clantly liberal to take Displace of the exist nj
Tariff. Hut, under that airatig raout, n t a .
cent would be saved to the people, lor ihe ,
amount of . bounty we should have to i,nv
,
would at least equal and probably exceed I ha
amount of wool duties now colloted. In ihe
case of sugar, sines our home production waa
ess than 1 pound In 10 of what we Imnort
abolishing the duty of 2 oents a pound on l ha

no matter from what point of view, thors la
no likenoss be weeu sugar or revenue duty,
