KATE'S Oil, dear, I wish he would corner Kate Talbot looked at ber watch, and then ran out lmo the hall to compare its enameled hands with the dial of the old clock on the landing. She was a tail, handsome girl, with bright brown hair. Her eyes, large mnd soft, of a peculiar hazel tint were full of dreamy languor, and the while and pink bloom of her cheeks betok ened very plainly that she had never turned day into night and night Into day, after the approved fashion cf metropolitan belles. "Here he come, and he Is not alone." And within just thirty seconds Miss Talbot was on the steps. Incllulng her head to Rossmere Wylle. and holding out an eager, fluttering little hand to ward her father. "No letter, papa?" "None, Katie." Rossmere' quick eye scanned Ka tie's countenauce as she stood there, Aft mm ' NO LETTER, PAPA a single rose among her dark tresses, and one hand slightly holding together the folds of her blue cashmere shawl How plainly he saw the expression of keen disappointment that 'fluttered across her perfect features! "Kate." said .Mr. Talbot, quietly dis mounting from his horse, "somehow It Is difficult for me to believe iu this gay cavalier of yours." "Papa!" "'Out of sight, out of mind.' Is very old proverb, you know, my dear, and it is Just possible, among the at tractions of a fashionable watering place, that, he has forgotten." "Never, nupa! You and Rossmere always were unjustly prejudiced against him." Kate spoke with very genuine en thusiasm. She believed in Bruce Gay nor Just as Implicitly us she believed In the sunshine at her feet, and It seemed Impossible that anyone else should for a single second doubt his truth and sincerity. Rossmere Wylie looked at her with grave lntentness. Suppose that Bruce was faithless! He sternly checked within himself the upsprlnglng throb -of his heart Was It for him to build up a palace of happiness on the wreck of Kate's love? And Rossmere Wylle resolved to go to Saratoga and survey the field for himself. Bruce Gaynor was walking up an down the piazza, in the afternoon sun shine. It was certainly very consid erate of him to give the young ladies auch a fine opportunity of admiring bis beautiful eyes and rich Spanish com plexion and exquisite figure. "Have you heard who arrived this morning, Gaynor 7" Col. Melford's band, laid slightly on Caynor's shoulders, arrested his saunt ering movements. "No; anyone worth cultivating?" "Miss Montressor." "Miss Montressor, the heiress? Why, I thought she was to be among the White Mountains." "She has changed her mind appar ently; at all events, here she Is. There's a chance for you, young man." Bruce Gaynor's handsome eyes spar kled. "Introduce me." "Can't unfortunately; haven't the bonor of a personal acquaintance my self; bat I can tell you who can." "Who?" "Wylle; he came yesterday Boss- oere Wylle, 7011 know; he's a cousin r something of the golden damseL AaA there she Is now!" Bruce Gaynor winced a little. "What! that fat. dowdy Mtle con. en by the door? Why, I thought she ni a beauty. "to she to. coastderstf from a finan cial petit ef vtow. Mr dear fellow, ast be hypeiwttleair . '"Chfc skate O If ksfls daj." a"" ""a aWaWaWaWi -swaav.a. .aWaWaaBaaa.. " ESCAPE. i "Very possibly, but only think of her bank stock and railroad shares! Think the matter over." Bruce Gaynor did think the matter over and made up his mind In very short order. Good evening. Mr. Wylle," he said. half an hour or so later, as he en countered Rosmere. " I believe I had the pleasure of meeting you at Wel- dlngton." Mr. Wylle Inclined his head. "I understand Miss Montressor Is your cousin, and I have resolved to ask at your hands the privilege of an Intro duction." "I shall be happy to oblige you," said Rossmere, with the least perceptible shrug of his shoulders. So Mr. Gaynor was formally present ed In the lists as a candidate for the smiles of Miss Emily Montressor. She certainly was not handsome. Her hair was thin, and her eyes dldn t both look In the same direction. But then Bruce remembered her money. I don't reallv know what to do about Kate Talbot." thought Mr. Gay nor to himself, uneasily twisting up the pink envelope that had enwrapped her last glowing, impulsive, loving lit tie epistle. "I was a great fool to allow myself to get so entangled, but It isn't too late yet to back out grace fully. I guess I won't answer her let ter; women are generally pretty quick to take a hint of that sort." Thus cogitating, Bruce Gaynor light ed his cigar with the pink envelope. And Rossmere Wylie watched the curious developments of the little life drama that was being enacted under his eyes with couteuiptuous lndlgua tiou. "A heartless scoundrel!" he thought "Kate will be well rid of him. And yet poor girl, she believes in him. Yet Rossmere Wylle felt a certain thrill of delight as be thought of Kate Talbot free, disenchanted once from the glamour that had hung around her life. August was gone; the golden orb o the full September moon was looking calmly into the curtained recess of the huge bay window where Bruce Gaynor sat by Miss Emily Montressor. "Mr Emily! my heart's own," he murmured. "Do you really love me?" lisped the charmer. "Ah, Emily, I have felt of late how utterly impossible it will be for me to be happy away from your smiles, lou will marry me, dearest? lou will glv me the right to call you my own?" "But Bruce." faltered the fair om "I am so much older than you." '"A year or so, perhaps, darling; but what does that signify to hearts that are congenial? Say yes, darling." And Miss Montressor said "Yes." "But I really am afraid to let my niece know, I'm sure she will oppose it" "My love, we will spare her the op portunity; we will go quietly to church to-morrow and be married." "Oh, Bruce!" Mr. Gaynor's handsome eyes flashed in triumph; he was sure of the prize at last Poor, forgotten Kate! The sudden wedding of the middle- aged Miss Montressor with the chief exquisite of the season made a nine days' sensation at Saratoga. Kate Tal bot heard of it in due time and cried a night before she began to realize that she had had a fortunate escape. And Rossmere Wylle came back from Sara toga Just In time to catch her heart on the rebound. While Mr. Wylle and Miss Talbot were gathering grapes and whispering THUS OOOITAT1HO, BBCCE LIGHTED BIS CIO AS WITH THE PIS 11 KKVaLOPK. exceedingly Interesting little nothings under the green shadow of the arbors at Weldington. Mr. and Mra Bruce Gaynor were enjoying the grandeur of Niagara, "guNlmer ejaculated Brace, gently pressing the hand that lay on his arm, "Very nicer said Emily absently "But I'm so dleappotsted about thur letter from Easy." "Who's Kaarr til ftytofp My Ble dear. I thought . course, she'd send me something very nice for a wedding present; but ut " "Ilearest, do not weep!" "1-1 can't help It!" mbbed Mrs. Gay. nor. it s too uieau 01 ciuiuy. i-uc lwavs did opjiose my marrying; but I never thought she would be so spite ful." We care not for her good or bal opinion, dear, lour husband Is now all the world to you, my Emily." "That's Jnst what she says, the hate ful thing!" Calm yourself, my love. What do we want of her paltry wedding pres ents?" "It Isn't that Bruce, but " "But what?" "She's cut oil my allowance, the hard hearted minx; and she so rich. What! are there two heiresses In the Montressor family?" "Two heiresses? No. What do yon mean, Bruce?" Do 1" Bruce cleared his throat huskily, and went on "understand that that your uiece " Why, you must often have heard of my niece, Emily Montressor sue was named after me the heiress? And 's a great beauty, too at least ue people call her so; but for my part I never could bear these blondes." Bruce Gaynor stood staring at the everlasting tumult of the American fall with eyes that seemed turned to stone, while his bride prattled on. "And now she's cut off my allowance and left me without a cent in the orld. Well, It s lucky I've got a nus band to take care of me now, am t It Bruce, dear?" Bmce Gaynor did not answer; be could not His tongue seemed to cleave to the roof of bis mouth; every drop of blood In his body stood still. Had be sacrificed his youth and brilliant prospects for this? And then be remembered sweet Kate Talbot and thought vindictively of Rossmere Wylle. "He knew he must have known that there were two Emily Montressors. thought Gaynor, clenching bis teeth. I it K,t9 " IK) I- -UNDERSTAND THAT THAT YOl K KItCE " "He Baw me walk Into the trap, and never opened his Hps to warn me. Oh, what a fool! what a double-distilled blockhead I have been!" So he had, but unfortunately It was too late for this self -appreciation to !? of any use. He was safely married to Miss Emily Montressor, but not to the Emily! And Mr. Gaynor felt with a bitter pang of humiliation, that his snug little piece of diplomacy had been an utter failure. HE WHIPPED DR. HOLMES. A Schoolmaster Who, Apologized to the Autocrat. Any record of Dr. Holmes' life would be imperfect which contained no men tion of the pride and pleasure he felt in the Saturday Club. Throughout the forty years of its prime he was not only the most brilliant talker of that distinguished company, but he wasaVso the most faithful attendant. He was seldom absent from the monthly din ners either In summer or In winter; and he lived to find himself at the head of the table where Agassis!, Longfellow, Emerson and Lowell had In turn pre-' ceded him.- Could a shorthand writer have been secretly present at those dinners, what a delightful lsok of wise talk and witty sayings would now lie open before us! Fragments of the good things were sometimes brought away, as loving parents bring sugar plums from a feast to the children at home; but they are only fragments, and bear out but Inefficiently the report which has run before them. The fol lowing pathetic Incident related on one of those occastons by Dr. Holmes, need not however, be omitted: "Just forty years ago," be said one day, "I was whipped at school for a slight offense whipped with a ferule right across my hands, so that I went home with a blue mark where the blood had settJed. and for a fortnight my hands were stiff and swollen from the blows. The other day an old man called at my house and inquired for me. He was bent and could just creep along. When he came In he said: 'How do you do, sir; do you recollect your old teacher, Mr. 7 I did, perfectly! He sat and talked a while about Indif ferent subjects, but I saw somethln rising In his throat and I knew It was that whipping. After a while be said, 'I came to ask your forgiveness for whipping you once when I was In an ger; perhaps you have forgotten It but I have not' It had weighed upon his mind all these years! He must be rl' of It before lying down to sleep peace fully." "Why don't you go to work Why do rou waste your time begging 7' "Did you ever beg?" "No, of course not' "Then you don't know what work la -Tit Bits. "What are you reading with so much Interest?" Tre found a lot of ads In this muulnt that hare not a hint of Napoleon In them." Chicago Inter Ocean. naWS FOR .NEBRASKA WORK OF THE SOLONS IN THE LATE LEGISLATURE. Brief lUaam of the Prtnrlp.il Hill '- During lh- Kwrot Hi.io u the Mei.raaka legislature l-,ar Melted by Gvtruor ll.leuib sine Adjournment t'uBftOf ulioaal A or mi ni ma babmltted. A Total of I2 ISIU I'aa-ed. The lific! iture just ad turned passed s total of 129 bills, exceeding the i.utn lrof any previous legislature for n.anv sessions. The total number pasi-d in 1&D3 was seventy, to ls'Jl seventy seven, and in 19, 118. Of the bills passed this session seventy-four origin ated in the house snd fifty-seven in the senate. A few of the more impo-tant are mentioned : House roll No. i-A, ap propriating 173,000 for the new univer sity buil ling. This was won by a bard tight, owing to the fianc:al condition of the state, the only other appropriations for buil lin.-a in the state being $13,000 for a wing for the asylum for the blind at Nebraska City and fl2,Uy for a kitchen for the coldiers' home at Grand Island. The judicial apportionment bill bouse roll No. 184, gives another district judge to Lancaster county, the only in crease made in the statu. Union college at College View, will now be able to grant diplomas to its graduates by reason of house roll No. 383. The bill prohibiting the sale oruse of oleomarga rine and butterine and its manufacture except for export, eena'e file No. 78, is claimed to effect Nebraskani as closely as any bill that was passed. The legislature also reduced the inter est on state warrants from 7 per cent to 6, which will make a very material sav ing to the state. The Australian ballot law was amend ed by sen Hie tile No. 231, so that here after no one can run as a republican or democrat or uie any party name except the regular nominees, unless the words "by petition" follow on the ballot. This is to prevent misleading by the use of i'lch designations as "straight democrat" "indeiendent republican" and similar designations. It also allows women to sin nomination petitions for officers for whom they can vote at the election. The age of consent bill, house roll No. 848, makes more suingent the laws pro tecting girls and places Nebraska among e very few states, less than a half ozen in all, making the age so high as ghteen years. The sutrar and chicory bounty bill, house roll No. 67, has been fully dis missed in the press and is well under stood. Two very important irrigation bills sere passed, house roll No. 332 and 143, covering every feature of irnga- ion as existing in Colorado, California and other states. Two imiKirjuit bill relating to town- ihip organizations w t. alao j i- si !, bouse roll Nos. tW and 77, allowing more Nearly a fair representation to inhabi tants of towns, by allowing a superv isor to every 1,600 inhabitants instead f 4,000, as now provided, and making 0 her important changes. The state banking bill, house roll No. 101, is the bill of interest to the bank- ng interests of the state. It creates a teries of regulations of state and private banks and creates many cafeguards for those who are the patrona and debi tors of such banks. By the provisions of house roll No. 110 the rezistration of voters is no longer necessary in towns of less than ,0J0 inhabitants, and the number of days of registration is made baif of what it has been, being three days in the fall and but one (Uy for revision before the fpring or special elections. A list of stockholders in private and Itate banks is required by house roll No. IHS, to be kept for information of the public at all times. Insurance legislation resulted m two ills, senate No. 132 and house roll No. 24. These allow the formation of assessment and local premium fife in surance societies and allow the mutual fire insurance companies to extend their sperations to all property instead of being confined to farm property alone, M now. It is also provided that if Ne braska life insurance companies are in any way discriminated ag linst by other States that the insurance department iall impose the same reductions on in surance companies from such state seeking to do business in Nebraska. Governor Holoomb vetoed house roll No. 243, an act to authorize the for mation of mutual fire insurance com panies in cities and towns. There are many estates settled under the law of 1889 relating to estates of de ceased persons, which was declare 1 by the supreme court to be unconstitution al, sad by senate file No. 79 all court prsceedlnna under that act are val idated and declared legal. Hoase roll No. 60 makes it unlawful to Ml to minors cigarettes or cigarette material sod imposes a penalty. There has been a flourishing industry in Nebraska of late years in daylight burglary, because if caught, and con victed the highest penalty for entering or breaking inU a house by daylight was three months in the county jail, with free board at the county s expense, It i sow a felony, punishable by im priaoasaefit ia the penitentiary from one to seven years, end the horde of pro fessionals who have been favoring the state with their presence will probably seek new locations in other states- Another law, bouse roll No. 17, is of protection to the farmers. Hog steal (n. like davlisht burglary, has bee anneh tarried on because it wss only a when the value of the pra- I 1 p rty taken 3o, but by the ue aw the stt-aiiug of cattle or of hos, regard less if value, is made a felony. The supreme Court ooiiiuiic-ion wsi continued fur another term of thre years, by senate file No. 9 and by wnate ile No. e, bills of exception are ailoated in all cases tried by inferior courts or bodies xen ising judicial functions. It applies to pending as well as t future cases and is of great interest to litiganUj in attai bmtnt cases in tins state. j It has lieen neceary under the de cisions of the supreme court that county ards alto Id advertise and let sep arably each bri.lge built. Senate file No. 2o- pr-ivides that the board may adveriise and let by the lineal foot all bridges to be built for a year. It has heretofore been impossible for public oiic.als to give as e urities on official bomis the guarantee companies that insure the fidelity of private of tieittl1!. but by senate file No. 340, (such oonds irity now be accepted. Hereafter all attorneys in the state will be admitted only by and in the su preme court, instead of the district court, and more stringent provisions and higher qualifications will proltably be the result of senate file No. 42. County boards are allowed by senate file No. 19 q employ attorneys other than the county attorneys hen , neces sary. Ilentistry ia to be regulated by a state board, such as the state medical board, by the provisions of senate file No. 29. The penitentiary is to i 'aken out of the present hands, if possible, by house roll No. 607, which provides for three appraisers, one to be appointed by the lessee, one by the board of public lands and buildings and one by the governor, to appraise the value of the property end the btate t buy it and take charge of the convict lab r itself for the next 1 two years. House roll No WO wss prepared large ly by Auditor Moore and requires a uni form series of vouchers for all claims against the state, properly worn to, and all persons who have any expecta tion of gettinz any monev for services or material f'iriiished will have to cam ply with its provisions. School districts are hereafter required to keen a register of warrants issued and to pay them in their order, and to register them and to pay 7 per eent thereon, by house roll No. 117 anil sen ate file No. 2-". Any one who has school land leased will need to pay interest only to the date of purchase, instead of for the whole calendar year, as now required by the new bill, house roll No. lol. House roll No. 15, allows children in a school district that are nearer to the school hou-e in an adjoining district than to their own, to attend in the ad joining district. House rol! No. 28), allocs pupils to attend a high school out of their county on the payment of tuition of a small amount when there is sufficient room lor lueni. Because so much comment has been caused by the purchase of supplies for the legislature in advance of its session, a new law, house roil o. oo, pre scribes that only $500 worth of supplies can lie bought by the secretary of state, and that he shall take charge of all sup plies on adjournment and keep them over for the next session. A branch of the soldiers' home is es tarJishuJ at Milford, to be kept free of charge for two years by house roll No. 2t-4, and the budding and grounds to be given for $-u0 a year rent thereafter if desired by the. state, or an option on purchase for $13 000.

A legal new spaper is defined to be one having at least two hundred bona fide subscribers and having an existence of at let st one year, by house roll No. 602. Some of the larger counties are inter ested in house roll No. 560, which al lows a county to be divided by a major ity vote instead of a three-fifths vote as now required. The bill passed over the governor's veto, house roll J(o, VS.), vests the ap pointment of the board of fire and po lice commissioners of Omaha in the gov ernor, attorney general and land com missioner.
