FarinKhra. m we have bffor stal!, though born In India, had travel.! a icood deal, and frequented the Euro-1 pean factories In different parts of Asia. KneakiliB well both English and , French, snd full of Intelligence and sagacity, he was perfectly civilised. lnatead of answering Rodin's ques tion, he turned upon hi in a flunt and searching look. The soclua. provoked by this silence, and foreseeing; vaguely that Faringheas arrival tiad some connection direct or Indirect with IJalnia, repeated, though still with the greatest coolness: "To whom, sir, have I the honor of speaking?" "IH you not recogniie me,' said Fsr tnghca, advancing two tftcpe nwtrvr to Rodin's chair. "1 do not think I ever had the bonor of seeing you," answered the ottinr coldly. "Hut I recognise you. said Faring hea; "I saw yon at Cardovllle Castle the day that a ship and a steamer wore wrecked together." "At Cardovllle Castle? It la very possible, sir. I was there: when a shipwreck took place." "And that day I called you by your name, and you asked me what I want ed. I replied: 'Nothing now, brother hereafter, much.' The time has ar rived. I have come to ask for much." "My dear sir." said Rodin, still Im possible, "before we continue this con versation which appears hitherto tol erably obscure, I must repeat my wish to be Informed to whom I hare the advantage of speaking. You have In troduced yourself here under preteit of a commission from Mynheer Joshua Van Dael, a respectable merchant of llatavla, and" "You know the writing of M. Van Dael 7" said Fartnghna, Interrupting Rodin. "I know it perfectly." "Look!" The half-caste drew from liis pocket (he was shabbily dressed In European domes) a long despatch, which he had taken from one Mahel the Smuggler, after strangling htm on the bench near Batavla. These papers he placed before Rodin's eyes, but without quitting his hold of them. "It is. Indeed, M. Van Dael's writ ing." said Rodin. "This letter, being to my luulress, and having been cn ' trusted to you by M. Van Dael, you ought " "This letter was not entrusted to me by M. Van Duel," said Faringhea, in terrupting Rodin. "How, then, la it in your posses sion?" "A Javanese smuggler betrayed mo. Van Dael had secured a passage to Alexandria for this man and had given him this letter to carry with him for the European mall. I strangled the smuggler, took the letter, made the passage and here I am." The Thug hnd pronounced these words with n air of srvukb boasting; his wild. Intrepid glance did not quail before the piercing look or Rodin, who, at this strange ronfesslon, hnd hastily raised his head to observe the speaker. Farrlnghea thought to astonish or to Intimidate Rodin by these ferocious words; but, to his great surprise, the soctus, impassible as a corpse, said to him quite simply: "Oh! they strangle people in Java?" "Yes, there and elsewhere," an swered Faringhea, with a bitter smile. "I would prefer to disbelieve you; but I am surprised at your sincerity M. , what Is your name" "Faringhea." "Well, then, M. Faringhea, what do you wish to come to? You have ob tained, by an abominable crime, a let ter addressed to me, and now you hes itate to deliver It " "Because I have read It, and it may be useful to me." "Oh! you have read it?" said Rodin, disconcerted for a moment. Then he resumed: "1 is true, that Judging by your mode of possessing yourself of other people's correspondence, we can not expect any very great amount of honesty on your part. And pray, whitt have you found so useful to you in this letter?" "I have found, brother, that you are, like myself, a son of the Good Work. "Of what good work do you speak?" asked Rodin, not a little surprised. Faringhea replied with an expres sion of bitter lronv. "Joshua says to you In his letter 'Obedience and cour sge, secresy and patience, craft and audacity, union between us, who have the world for our country, the breth ren for our family, Home for our Queen.' "It Is possible that M. Van Dael has written thus to me. Pray, sir, what do you conclude from it? "We too, have the world for our country, brother, our accomplices for our family, and for our queen Row an ee." "I do not know that saint," said Rodin, humbly. "It is our Rome," answered the Strangler. "Van Dael speaks to you of those of your Order, who, scattered over all the earth, labor for the glory of Rome, your queen. Those of our band labor also in divers countries, for the glory of Bowanee." "And who are these sons of Bow anee, M. Faringhea?" "Men of resolution, audacious, pa tient, crafty, obstinate, who, to make the Good Work succeed, would eacri' fice country and parents, and sister and brother, and who regard as ene mies all not of their band!" "There seems to be much that Is good In the persevering and exclusive ly religious spirit of such an order," said Rodin, with a modest and sanc tified air; "only one must know your ends and objects. "The same as your own, brother we make corpses." "Corpses!" said Rodin. "In this letter," resumed Faringhea, "Van Dael tells you that the greatest glory of your order is to make corpse of a man." Our work also is to io Is make corpses of men. Man's death sweet to Bowanee." "Hut. lr." cried Rodin. "M. Van lUwl apeakl of the caul, of the will, of the mind, which are to I brought down by discipline." "It I true you kill the soul, and we the body. Give me your hand, brotb- for you ,re Uo a nunter or men. "Hut once more, sir understand, that we only meddle with the will, th mind, said Hodln. "And what are your bodies deprived of .soul. will, thought, but mere corpses? Come Coma, brother; the ' dead we make by the cord are not more Icy and inanimate than those you make by your discipline. Take my hand, brother; Rome and Howanee are alstert." Notwithstanding hli apparent calm- nw, Rodin could not behold, without some secret alarm, a wretch like Kar- Ingrea In possession of a long letter from Van Iacl. wherein mention miint necessarily have been made of Dialma. Hodin believed, Indeed, that he had rendered It Impossslble for the young Indian to be at Paris on the TWO AMERICAN morrow, but not knowing what con nection might have been formed, since the shipwreck, between the prince and the half-caste, he looked upon Faring hea as a man who might probably be very dangerous. But the more un easy the soclus felt In himself, the more he affected to appear calm and disdainful. He replied, therefore: "This comparison between Rome and Bowanee Is no doubt very amusing; but what, sir, do you deduce from It?" I wish to show you, brother, what I am, and of what I am capable, to convince you that It is better to have me for a friend than an enemy." "In other terms, sir" said Rodin, with contemptuous Irony, "you be long; to murderous sect in India, and, you wish, by a transparent allegory, to lead me to reflect on the fate of the man from whom you have stolen the letter addressed to me. In my turn, I will take me freedom Just to observe to you, In all humility, M. Faringhea, that here It Is not permuted to stran gle anybody, and that If you were to think fit to make any corpses for the love of Bowanee, your godaess, we should make you a head shorter, for the love of another divinity com monly called Justice." And what would they do to me, If I tried to poison any one?" "I will again humbly observe to you, M. Faringhea, that I have no time to glvo you a course of criminal Juris prudence; but, believe me, you had better resist the temptation to strangle or poison any one. One word more: will you deliver up to me the letters of M. Van Dael or not?' The letters relative to Prince Djalma?" said the half-caste, looking fixedly at Rodin, who, notwithstand ing a sharp and sudden twinge, re mained impenetrable, and answered with the utmost simplicity; "Not knowing what the letters are which you, sir, seem pleased to keep from me may contain, it Is impossible for me to answer your question. I beg, and If necessary, I demand that you will hand me those leters or that you will re tire." "In a few minutes, brother, you will entreat me to remain." "I doubt it" "A few words will operate this mir acle. If just now I spoke to you about poisoning, brother. It was because you sent a doctor to Cardovllle Castle, to poison (at least for a time) Prince DJalnia. In spite of hlmsolf, Rodin started al most imperceptibly, as he replied: "I do not understand you." It Is true, that I am a poor foreign er, and doubtless speak with an ac cent; 1 will try and explain myself bet ter. I know, by Van Dael's letters, the intorest you have that Prince Djalma should be here tomorrow, and all that you have done with this view. Do you understand me now? "I have no answer for you. Two cautious taps at the door here Interrupted the conversation. "Come in." said Rodin. Would Amend the Constitution. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, re cently presented the following Joint resolution to congress, proposing that the article of the constitution relat Ing to the term of office of the pres ldent, vice-president, senators and members of congress, be amended as follows: 'The term of office of the president and of the I-Vlth congress shall con tinue until the 30th day of April, In the year 1901, at noon. The senators whose existing term would expire otherwise on the 4th day of March in the year 1901, or thereafter, shall con tinue in office until noon of the 30th day of April, succeeding such explra tion; and on the 30th day of April, at noon, shall thereafter be substituted for the 4th of March as the com mencement and termination of the of ficlal term of the president, vice pres ldent, senators and representatives In congress."

SIS N. 18th Street Omaha. Neb. To Win Irish Support. LONDON, Jan. 21. The, Salisbury cabinet appears determined to do ev- erything In Its power to win the good will of the Irish nationalists during the forthcoming narliamentarv session. classes In the Emerald lisle. The two chief sops which it Is offer ing to the nationalists are the new Irish local government bill and the gift to Ireland of a Roman Catholic university. Thee two measures, In deed, will occupy most of the coming session, as the cabinet is determined to carry them through. The principle of the local govern ment bill, which Is now completed, is fully and frankly democratic and is modeled on the lines ot English and Scotch acts. The electoral franchise Is to be widely extended, both In coun ties and boroughs, so that the bill will bring the Irish municipalities and counties into line with the analogous bodies in England. All the machinery of local govern ment will be placed In the hands of the popularly elected board. District councils, as well as county councils, similar to those in England, will be created. " ' The two points to which the nation alists are likely to take exception are the fact that for the present the con stabulary remains Independent of tn maintenance of the power of grand juries to Impose rates In respect of malicious Injuries. Of course, where districts are free from agitation the government declares that there will be no occasion to resort to these special powers, and the fram ers of Ue bill point out that the na tionalists will have difficulty In discov ering hardships in a district being made subject by Its grand jury to a special rate to make good the losses caused by individuals, say, through incendiarism or the maiming ol anl mala. With regard to the Roman Catholic university, I hear that Lord Salisbury is every bit as keen about the matter as Mr. Balfour, and has thoroughly made up his mind not to give way to the antagonism of the Orangemen, who, under the leadership of their grand master, Dr. Kane, are violently agitating against the scheme. MEANWHILE THE NATIONAL ISTS' LEADERS HAVE BEEN CALL ED INTO CONSULTATION BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC EPISCOPaoT OF IRELAND, and have now put be fore the chief secretary of Ireland a proposal which may assist in the realization of the scheme. When one recalls to mind the fact that at the beginning of the present reign Roman Catholics were subjected to all sorts of legal disabilities, both In connection with holding office and with franchise, Catholicism being re garded almost In the light of treach ery to the crown. It Is astonishing to find a tory administration proposing to follow Mr. Gladstone's memorable disestablishment of the Protestant Episcopal state church In Ireland by the foundation ot a Catholic university In the Emerald Isle.
