CHAPTER XI.—(Continued.)
“Does he remember how he was
hurt?"
“He declares his men mutinied, be
cause Instead of returning to New
J York, he had taken on a cargo for the
East India company, anti 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 1 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 raadame 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 anic
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 du3t,
but my soul made light of it for love s
sake. Did your father tell you bow
much Capt. Jacobus had suffered?"
"Yes, madame.”
“Poor Jacobus! Till 1 be key-cold
k dead, 1 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 stupKity, 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
* wrhile 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 von to be a
flirt,” sfie 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.
\__—;-,i —^
“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
fine 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
^moments, her heart swelling, her eyes
filling with the sense of that injustice,
harder to bear than any other form of
wrong. She was goirg 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
Wind, but words of affection. He
wrote and asked me if he could come
and see my father about our marriage,
on a certain night. I answered hts
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! 1 would rather have a
man ‘intolerably rude’ like my nephew
Rem, than one like Lord Hyde who
speaks well 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 Karl 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 biack-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
tilings 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
he leading him. no matter how danger
ous or lonely the road. ‘He w'ill 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 deatli 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 he rose and 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. \ an 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 mo 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 all
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."
ou am t. out? is a rui ut'ttaij.
Her name Is Cornelia Moran, and her
father is a famous physician in New
York."
"And this beauty had two lovers?”
"Yes; an Englishman of noble birth;
and an American. They both loved her,
ad she loved the Englishman. They
must have boih 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 *r)nse
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, and
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, ladies."
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—dt—out,
1 wonder!”
“Perhaps the rejected lover con
fided in him."
"What did Mr. Van Ariens say
about the matter? What did ne
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 woods about him.
"Your servant, ladies,” he said gay
iy, “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 census bulletin, which gives
statistics as to agriculture in Alberta.
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan, which
united comprise the Northwest terri
tory. The total area of these terri
tories is 190.903.117 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 pouretl
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 eoa.
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.

rKOTEUTION S VALUE.
WHY WE CAN EXPORT MANUFAC
TURED PRODUCTS.
Because the Domestic Producer. Being
Assured of the Home Market, Can
Profitably Increase His Output and ,
Sell His Surplus Abroad.
Wo are asked to make answer to j
the following:
‘ Minneapolis. Minn., April 4, 1903.—
In preparing for a debate on protec
tive tariff and tariff for revenue only,
I have come to a question which seems
to me to be beyond reason. The ques
tion is. Why do we need protection
for our industries when our commodi
ties are exported to nearly all parts
of the globe? J. A. Hlnsvark.”
Your question. “Why do we need
proteetion for our industries when
our commodities are exported to near
ly all parts of the globe?" will not ap
pear, upon examination, so far “be
yond reason" as you seem to think.
First of all, out of our total annual
production of fifteen billions in manu
factured products, only 3 per cent, or
four hundred and fifty millions, are ex
ported to foreign countries. The r^
maining 97 per cent is consumed by
our own people. The need and the
function of a protective tariff is to in
sure to our manufacturers this mar
ket which consumes 97 per cent of
their output. Protection says to these
manufacturers: “This market, this op
portunity is yours. Make the most of
it.” How do they make the most of
it? Under the guarantee of settled
k ami stable conditions which insure to
them a market for their output these
manufacturers have so expanded, so
Improved, so developed manufacturing
methods and processes: by the intro
duction of labor saving machinery
could dump their surplus products
upon the United States market. This
they arc unable to do because of our
protective tariff. To permit them to
do this would be to displace an equal
amount of domestic, production and
with It a corresponding amount of
employment and wages In this coun
try. Either that, or we would be com
pelled to put In force In this country
a general and sweeping reduction of
wages in order to lower the cost of
production so as to be able to still
control the market against foreign
competition. There being practically
no other way of reducing production
cost, the reduction must mainly fall
upon wages.
The protetlve tariff says this shall
not be done, and It will not be donw
so long as the right to control the
great domestic market is reserved to
the general body of domestic pro
ducers.
Our foreign trade In manufactured
products is a mere bagatelle, a drop
In the bucket. It must always remain
so, at least so long as the wide differ
ence between the American rate of
wages and standard of living and the
rate of wages and standard of living
which prevail In foreign countries is
maintained.
For many years it was the favorite
contention of free-traders that our
protective country could not maintain
a protective tariff and at the same
time carry on trade with the balance
of the world. Events have proven the
utter falsity of this contention. Under
the operation of a purely protective
tariff in the last six years the foreign
trade of the United States has nearly
doubled, our exports of manufactured
products for foreign countries have
doubled as compared with 1895, and
our sales of agricultural products and
raw materials have correspondingly
increased. At the same time, owing
to the conditions of great prosperity
which have prevailed here, our pur
chases of commodities and materials
THE IOWA BRAND IS NOT TO HIS LIKING.
they have so cheapened the cost of
products or have so lowered the per
centage that the labor cost bears to
the finished article that they have
gradually and steadily, and, in the
filial outcome, immensely cheapened
the general average of prices in this
market as compared with prices for
similar articles in periods of time
prior to the full development of the
protective policy.
This could not be done In the face of
the uncertainties ami dangers of for
eign competition. Before the manu
facturer cau decide upon his total out
put for the current season or year he
tfiust know upon what market he can
depend. Knowing this and being as
sured that through the operations of
the protective tariff this market can
not be taken away from him, he can
now proceed with certainty, method
and exactness. We will suppose he
has arranged to produce one thousand
units and has made all his prepara
tions for such a production. It turns
out that owing to the superior styie,
finish and quality of the goods pro
duced or for some other reason he can
find a sale for something more than
his one thousand units in foreign
countries. He can very easily in
crease his output to fifteen hundred
units, we will say, and in so doing
will diminish the percentage of cost
of production. To illustrate: He can
produce fifteen hundred tons of hard
ware or fifteen hundred yards of cloth
at a much lower percentage of cost
for the fifteen hundred than for the
one thousand tons or yards originally
arranged for. Hence it w ill follow that
he can market his surplus production,
If necessary, in foreign countries, at
a slightly lower rate than that which
prevails in the home market. Not
much of this kind of discount on ex
port sale, however,. is done. The
amount is greatly exaggerated by
those who oppose the policy of pro
tection. It stands to reason that when
the producing capacity of our manu
factories is pressed to its limit to sup- |
ply the home demand, as is actually
the case In the existing conditions of
phenomenal prosperity, our producers
will not feel greatly tempted to sell
goods abroad at a reduced price, and
they are not doing this to any con
siderable extent. What, they are do
ing is to employ American labor and
pay American wages to vast numbers
of American workers, and the country
Is growing richer and richer by leapt
and bounds as the result of this emi
nently wise and sensible policy.
Take away protection and you open
this vast market of eighty millions of
liberal consumers to the competition
of depressed and overloaded Indus
tries in the old world, where the price
of labor Is from one half to one quar
ter the standard of American wages.
For example: Germany Is now under
going a period of hard times. A aim-*
liar condition prevails in England.
Both of those countries would be
greatly relieved and enriched if thay
of foreign countries have enormously
increased, hav ing now reached upward
of one billion dollars annually. We are,
as a matter of fact, considering our
ability to produce at home most of
the things that we require, the most
liberal purchasing nation on earth.
The fact that our purchases from
are less than our sales to foreign
countries Is due wholly to the opera
tion of the protective tariff. It ena
bles us to take our pay in money ^r Its
equivalent—such as the cancellation
of foreign debts, the liquidation of two
hundred millions annually paid to for
eign owners of ships, the seventy-five
millions annually expended In foreign
countries by American tourists—in
stead of receiving our pay in foreign
made merchandise, w:e get our pay vir
tually In cash. Our apparent trade
balances for the last six years have
averaged from four hundred and fifty
millions to six hundred millions a
year. In those six years we bav© paid
enormous sums In liquidation of debts
owed to foreigners, in repurchase of
American securities owned abroad,
and at the same time these trade bal
ances have enabled us to take care of
the two hundred millions yearly of
freight charges and the seventy-five
millions yearly of money spent by our
tourists abroad. All this time we have
kept our own labor employed and
have increased In wealth at a rate
hitherto unknown in the history of
nations.
We maintain the protective tariff
because of its known fruits. We re
ject the free trade policy because of
its known disasters and horrors. Wo
have a condition of absolute free-trade
between forty-five states and territo
ries, the largest free-trade nation in
any part of the world, but to the out
side world, we say, "We are sufficient
unto ourselves so far as our mechani
cal ingenuity, our enterprise, our in
ventiveness and our skill, enable us
to supply our own wants. We propose
that this republic shall do its own
work. That is protection. The
wisest and best brains in the country
have accepted this policy as final and
permanent in its relation to the pros
perity of the country. If we can main
tain protection and prosperity at
home, while at the same time selling
to the outside world all surplus of
production, so much the better for us.

Sunshine of Prosperity.
In spite of somber prophecies the
foreign trade of the United States con
tinues to grow, a regular boom having
been experienced since the first of the

made her unmanageable, whirling her
out of her course.
Paul’s Vision of Cheer. The storm had
continued nearly two weeks without sight
of sun or stars, which, in those days,
before the invention of the compass, were
the only guides to sailors who were out.

despair during the latter part of this
long struggle for life, drifting, they knew
not wtiere. weary and hungry. Then one
morning Paul, standing among the sail
ors and soldiers and passengers, told
them of a message of cheer God's an

had been hard to believe in the storm,

danger and knowing thut the small boat,
was not large enough for all on board,
the sailors tried to escape In It under
pretense of laying out anchors from the

the loving care of God, and duty toward
