CHAPTER XI.—Continued.
“I hope so,” replied one of the doc
tors gravely. ‘‘It is a severe case.”
“Yes,” young Green said. A fur
row of thought appeared on his fore
head. He stood silent a moment, his
blue eyes meeting the black ones of
the doctor, squarely, as though he
would see down into his very soul.
Then he passed from the room, noise
lessly closing the door behind him.
For a moment he stood behind Dolores
poring over the books in the fire
light. She neither heard nor saw him ;
she was tracing out one of the con
stellations on the map before her, her
lips were parted as though she was
smiling. The face of the watcher un
derwent many changes in the short
minute he stood there in the flickering
light and darkness behind her chair;
then he turned silently away and pass
ed out of the room without disturb
ing her. He took down his hat and
coat from one of the nails in the room
and went out into the storm as though
he were dazed by some sudden start
ling thought!
By and by, when the nurse came out
of the room, Dolores closed her book
slowly, as though with regret, and
gathered up her hair, twisting it about
her graceful head carelessly. The
color and fire died out of her face and
eyes as she arose to prepare supper.
But Mrs. Allen interrupted her.
"Sit still. Miss Johnson,” she said,
cheerily, "and read your book, but not
by this light; I will fetch a candle.”
She took down a candle from the
shelf and lighted it with a strip of
pine wood from the fire. She pulled
out the clean pine table noiselessly,
and set it; she cut some thin slices of
bread and toasted them before the tire.
When they were done to an exquisite
turn, she buttered' them deftly and
set them on a plate on the hearth
to keep warm. When all was ready
the nurse drew up the table and
placed it beside the lire, placing a
a chair for her.
“Come, child.” she said, gently.
The professional tone had left her
voice utterly; the girl felt a sudden
rush of tears that burned her eyelids.
They were the first she had shed in
her life as she remembered.
“It’s a dreary night,” the nurse said,
cheerfully, taking no special notice of
the girl apparently. “The fire bright
ens one like a merry face. 1 always
have a fire on stormy days if it is pos
sible. My girl calls me Cinderella; I
will tell you about my girl; I call her
my sweetheart, her heart is so sweet.
She has no mother.
“She is an invalid,” the mellow
voice went on; "she has been an In
valid for six years, and 1 have been
with her during that time. Dora is
eighteen now, and I wish you could
see her. She is like a picture; some
times I believe I love her as a lover
would.”
Dolores knew nothing of love or
lovers, but she listened quietly. Per
haps this woman would tell her what
love was.
“Dora has gray eyes,” the nurse con
tinued. “Her hair is golden brown,
soft as silk, and long; arranging it is
one of my greatest pleasures. She
ha» a beautiful home in New York, and
everything that heart could wish to
"It’s a dreary night.”
make her happy; her father considers
her his richest possession, and he has
many possessions.
"But Dora has consumption and a
short time ago her physician ordered
for her a thorough change of air and
recommened the mountains. Her
.father lived here when he was a child,
and has a brother living here—or he
supposed he was living here; he had
not seen or heard of him since he
started out at twelve years old to
make his way in the world, leaving
this brother the homestead, the patch
of garden and the shop. He worked
his way to New York, now at this
thing, now at that. His life is a mar
vel to me, and Dora is never tired
of listening to him when he tells of
his life. He is a rich man now with
his word as good as his bond; my
girl is proud of her father, as well
she may be.
“As to his brother, he has not for
gotten him, but he lost trace of him;
he leads a busy life with little time
for hunting anybody's brother. Long
ago, when he began to succeed, he
wrote to his brother offering to help
him along if he cared to join him. but
the letter was returned unopened. His
brother could neither read nor write,
and had no correspondence, or else
was dead.
"As to Dora, she has had all the
teachers and masters necessary to an
excellent education; she is an ex
quisite musician; her touch on the
piano is like magic, and her voice is
soft and sweet, but she does not sing
now. Her singing used to be her
father’s delight.”
A shadow fell over the face of the
nurse, and she was silent for a mo
ment, looking into the fire with a far
away expression on her face.
The bedroom door opened noiseless
lyl, and she turned calmly iu answer
to Dr. Dtinwiddie's summons, every
trace of emotion gone. She left the
room for a few minutes, and when she
returned her voice and manner were
quiet, as usual.
"Dora draws and paints very well,”
she said, resuming her seat ajid her
story; "she teaches several children
from the mission school. None of her
time is idled; she has her father’s am
bitious spirit, and her life is full of
work in spite of the fact that this dis
ease is slowly eating her life away.
“Each one of the children loves her;
she sometimes tells me. laughing, that
she has so many blessings she cannot
count them. To hear her talk one
would never imagine the nights I have
held her up in my arms that she might
breathe while she coughed her beau
tiful life away.”
Dolores leaned forward, with lumin
ous eye; for the time she forgot her
lather, and the dread awaiting for the
men to come to prove the malice pre
pense in the laming of the mare. The
world of which the woman told was
outside of her world; it was the world
of her dreams.
Silence reigued in the room for a
few minutes; the nurse arose and
drew the little half curtains across
the windows. When all was arranged
for the night, even to preparing a bed
in the corner on the settee. Mrs. Allen
drew her chair up to the fire again,
and resumed her story.
Dolores’ face was troubled—her
thoughts had returned to her father, to
young Green and hi3 efforts to save
her father somehow mixed with his
words lately uttered, of love and its
sadness; and of the trial that was to
come off as soon as her father was
able to go to prove- She started
at sound of the nurse’s voice and grew
white to the lips. This did not escape
the watchful eyes of the nurse. There
was little that did escape her watch
ful eyes.
Dora s rather did not know whether
or not liia brother was living,” she
went on. “That the letter had been
returned uncalled for, went to prove
that he might be dead; but he knew
that his brother had no friends out
side of the settlement and was not in
the habit of receiving letters. That
he could neither read nor write still
left it possible that he was living, and
when Dora made known her wish to
come here, to see her father’s old
home, arrangements were made at
once. We arrived in the town over
the mountain yesterday. They are
stopping at Judge Green's for the
present and Dora sent me here at
once when Mr. Charlie wrote for help.
She said it was one of God’s provi
dences; that he had arranged things
lor us and were only to obey.”
The interest died out of Dolores’
eyes. She knew nothing about God or
his providences; she had never heard
either except as a wandering
preacher stopped at the settlement on
his way through the moutains, and
was jeered at by the men and listened
to by only a handful of women.
The nurse leaned back so that her
face was in shadow, but so that the
girl’s face was full in her sight.
“Dora had been in the town but a
day. yet she had found out a great deal
that she wished to know. Every one
in the town has heard of your father.
Of you no one knew much excepting
Mr. Charlie. He told my girl over
and over what he knew about you;
she never tired of hearing and planned
such pleasant things for you and your
father, and knows she will love you at
once.”
Dolores’ face was full of wonder.
That any one heard of cared to hear
of her strange enough, but that Dora,
the beauiiful, golden-haired, gray-eyed
girl from the midst of the marvelous
world of her dreams should love her
or wish to love her was beyond her
comprehension.
“Do you not wonder, child, the
nur3e said, slowly, “why my girl is
so interested in you? Have you never
thought of this uncle of yours of
whom you have never heard or seen,
or wondered that he never came, or
let your father know he was living?”
Dolores’ voice was unmoved, her
eyes still gravely questioning.
“Yes.” she replied, “I think if he
is living he is happy in his life, and
prefers to leave us out.”
The nurse made a quick movement
as of indignation. When she spoke,
however, her voice was gentle, as
usual.
“Your father is not like his brother,
Dolores. You will not blame him
when you see him, and Dora will win
your heart at once, as you have al
ready won hers. As soon as the storm
is over they will come. Dora's father
is your uncle/Dolores, and they came
here on "purpose to find you.”
CHAPTER XII
Its Effect.
A flush crept into Dolores’ face, then
I died out. leaving her deadly white.
The room grew dark around her; the
roar of the storm died away—every
thing died away save the dim horror
in her heart and an echo that grew
and grew until the air throbbed aad
filled her earn deafeningly. What
would Dora say and think K she
knew—ar.d of course she knew.
She endeavored to speak, to cry out,
to struggle with them, but she was
as one struck dumb and motionless
with the dread words thundering in
her ears weirdly their terrible mean
ing:
“Every one has heard of your
father ar.d could tell her of him be
cause of the trial that was to come
off—the trial—trial—your father
trial—”
‘•Child," the voice of the nurse
sounded leagues awray, scarcely dis
tinguishable in the roar of words
around her. "Child, what Is the mat
ter? Why do you say nothing? Are
you not glad to know it?"
"Glad to know It—glad to know it—
father—trial—know' it—know it—”
The girl roused against the terror
that was holding her down. She sat
erect, white faced, but with a quiet
dignty that hid the tumult within.
She lifted one hand and pushed back
the stray soft curls from her fore
head in a dazed fashion.
‘‘.Surely you have no hard feeling
toward your uncle because he has not
come to your fattier before. You can*
“Do you not wonder, child?”
not blame him. Hia ia not like your
father's life. You should be Just, Do
lores—just, and not judge harshly."
“His life ia not like your father's
life— judge harshly—judge harshly—’’
“'Your father could have been such
another man as his brother had he so
chosen. You cannot blame your uncle
for your father's choice any more than
you can blame your father for your
uncle’s choice."
“You cannot blame your uncle for
your father's choice—your father’s
choice—”
The words rang over and over,
around, above and below, out of which
the half scornful voice sounded far
away.
"Dora will be so disappointed; she
has thought and talked of nothing but
plans for you. You will have all the
advantages a girl could have, and it
will be your own fault if you do not
improve them. This would be the best
time, too, when your father needs per
fect rest and few around him. No
doubt he will be glad for this chauce
for you, if you are not for your
self.”

BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY’S HILLS.
Standing Rewards for Capture of Ban
dits Seldom Paid by Government.
Brigands are constantly giving
trouble to the Italian government,
which seems rather strange in view of
the fact that rewards are assured
to any persons who wage a successful
war against these law-breakers. Ac
cording to an edict which dates back
to the time when the Pope was all
powerful in Italy, and which is still
in force, anyone who captures a bri
gand aliye and who hands him over
to justice is entitled to a reward of
$600; anyone who kills a brigand will
receive a reward of $500; anyone who
captures a brigand chief will get
$1,200, and any brigand who betrays
an accomplice will be pardoned for his
past crimes and will receive $100 as
an additional reward. This last re
ward has seldom been paid, since
Italian brigands are not accustomed
to betray each other.
High Living Under Charle* II.
The following was considered the
“best universal sauce In the world,”
In the days of Charles II, at least
what was accounted such by the Duke
of York, who was Instructed to pre
pare It by the Spanish ambassador.
It consisted of parsley and a dry
toast pounded in a mortar, with vine
gar, salt and pepper.
A fashionable or cabinet dinner of
the same period consisted of “a dish
of marrow' bones, of mutton, a
dish of fowl, three pullets and a dozen
larks, all in a dish; a great tart, a
neat's tongue, a dish of anchovies, a
dish of prawns and cheese.”
At the same period a supper dish,
when the king supped with Lady
Castlemane, was “a chine of beef
roasted.”

THE EXTRA SESSION!
TO CONSIDER THE CUBAN
TREATY AND THE CURRENCY.
Some Questions of High Importance
Which Congress May Decide to Con
sider in Connection With the Pro- j
posed Reciprocity Arrangement.
It Is authoritatively announced by
Senator Ixnige, as the result of a re
cent visit to Oyster Bay, that the
President has fixed upon Nov. 9 as
the day on which Congress will assem
ble in an extra session, called primar
ily for the approval of the Cuban
treaty, which wah ratified by the Sen
ate last March, and incidentally to
act upon current legislation upon the
lines indicated in the views and declar
ations set forth in various speeches by
the President. Opinion varies alike
as to the wisdom of summoning Con
gress into extra session for these pur
poses, and also as to tho length of
time that will be required to enact
the legislation that shall carry into
effect the President’s wishes both as
to tho Cuban treaty, and the improve
ment of our currency system. The
New York Tribune thinks the session
should be n short one. It says:
The Cuban legislation indeed
should take no time at all, for all that
is needed is a simple art modifying
the tariff law in conformity with the
treaty already ratified by the Senate.
No question of detail calls for discus
sion. The simple issue is carrying out
the treaty or not carrying it out.
Practically every member now knows
what he thinks, and the bill could
properly be brought to a vote in each
house at once. Any delay on the pre
tence of discussion merely means that
persons who want the treaty to fail,
but do not dare face public opinion in
favor of concessions to Cuba, are
nates against the sugar producers of '
Germany, France, Russia, Belgium,
etc., and In favor of the sugar growers
af Cuba? I
6. Are we not subjecting Cuba to
the risk of provoking retaliation when
we compel her to discriminate In fa
vor of manufactured products from the 1
United States and against competing
products of all other countries?
7, If the policy of protection to ail
domestic labor and industry Is to be
abrogated or relaxed in favor of Cu
ban compeitors, how can we refuse
similar favors to other and far more
Important countries? And where and
when will such abrogation and relaxa
tlon stop?
FARMERS ARE PROTECTIONISTS.
Reason* Why They Favor the Repub
Mean Policy.
An esteemed Democratic exchange
says that the farmers in the Second
district are in favor of such a tarlfl
reduction that it will be about equal
to free trade. Our editorial friend
knows better than that or he knows
mighty little about Second district
farmers. He will be much wiser if he
will take a few days' vacation from
the arduous task of guessing at public
oplonion and go out among these
thoughtful, industrious people. He
will And that a large majority of the
farmers he meets are protectionists.
There is a reason why farmers are
in favor of protection. They muBt find
consumers for the surplus products of
their farms in order to make a profit
on their labor and Investment. It is
necessary that people who do not pro
duce food have employment to enable
them to buy food to consume. The
protective policy of the Republican
party is built on a foundation to en
able labor to be employed, and this It
Just what American farmers want, be
cause they feed labor. Idle labor was

taking indirect method to kill it. Ab
the Senate has already ratified the
treaty, it may be expected that It ■will
^te without question to put its own
measure in operation. The difficulty,
if any is to be encountered, will doubt
leas be In the House, where a determ
ined element is opposed to any closer
trade relations with Cuba from per
fectly well understood selfish motives."
Without stopping to Inquire why it
is thought necessary to ascribe selfish
motives to those who do no more than
to ask that the government and the
Republican party keen faith with them
in the matter of tariff protection guar
anteed to them by the Dlngley law,
while motives of the highest potriot
ism are ascribed to those who seek
to set up the new and strange doctrine
that it is always proper to sacrifice
one Industry for the benefit of another
industry, provided you can Influence
enough votes in Congress to carry out
the deal—without going more deeply
into this peculiar phase of a peculiar
question, let us proceed to consider
whether it Is true, as the Tribune as
serts, that “the Cuban legislation in
deed should take no time at all,” etc.
We are Inclined to think that the legis
lation necessary to consummate the
reciprocity arrangement with Cuba
will and ought to take very much more
time than “no time at all.” The
treaty has been ratified by the Senate
and now awaits the action of the
House. Before the House can reach
a final vote on the question of ap
proval it would seem to be natural, if
not indeed absolutely inevitable, that
the Republican majority in the House
should very seriously consider and
thoroughly debate the following ques
tions, among others:
1. Is the proposed treaty constitu
tional? Does not the Constitution-spe
cifically require that all legislation af
fecting the revenue shall originate in
the House? Is there a case on record
where legislation affecting the revenue
has originated in the Senate and has
subsequently been approved by the
House?
2. Does it not involve the violation
by the government of a contract of
agreement with certain producing in
terests of the United States—namely
the Dingely tariff law?
3. Is it equitable, fair or politically
expedient that the American farmers
who grow sugar and tobacco and the
Amercian capital and labor engaged
in the manufacture of cigars should
alone be se'ected to bear all the bur
, dens of reciprocity with Cuba?
4. Is it economically wise to dis
courage American sugar production,
when with the Dingely tariff duties
retained for a period of less than ten
years that rapidly growing industry
would completely supply the domestic
demand and retain in this country the
2100,000,000 a year now sent abroad to
pay for sugar imported from foreign
countries?
6, Does not the United States run
the risk of provoking retaliation and
commercial warfare when it discriml
of (arm products created disaster t<
products.
The principle of protection Is to bal
ance the price of Imports from foreigr
countries which are created by cheat
labor with what la made by well-pale
labor at home. This protects the
home wage earner. If Amerlcar
farmers were to depend almost en
tlrely on exporting their surplus pro
ducts to feed men who are crowding
out own men out of employment by
the goods they send here, our farmer*
would meet such competition that they
could not stand It and prosper. Ths
local demand for farm products It
what agriculturalists want, and this
demand can only be good when con
sumers are plenty and with money to
buy what they need. This condltioc
can only exist under protection, and
that Is why farmers are protectionists

The Iowa Tariff Plank.

Thus perishes another little fiction ol

stands we have Gov. Cummins as ths
convention's unanimous choice for re
election, and an expression on tbs
tariff question drawn by the eandidatt
and unanimously Indorsed by the con
ventlon. Does that look like tin

“Idea” Is certain to rise again. Watch

The Bumper Wheat Crop.
This is a great country. Despite th«
inpour of three-quarters of a mii
lion immigrants the past year
millions of bushels of wheat are over
ripe in the Kansas and Nebraska fields
awaiting harvesters not yet in evi
dence. Bidding for help has carried
\\ages up to $3.25 per day with board
for farm workers, and one colored man
gets $ti a day and board, agreeing tc

This is a country, indeed, when its
farm hands get four or five time*
higher wages in harvest than the farm
hands of Europe.

wheat fields that we sell wheat to Eu

HIE SUNDAY SCHOOL,
LESSON IX„ AUG. 30—DAVID
SPARES SAUL.
Golden Text—“Love Your Enemies,
Do Good to Them Which Hate
You”—Luke 6:27—The Victory
Over One’* Own Spirit.
1. “David'* Exile Experience and What
It Taught Him."—1« this lesson, a.* In,
the last. We have two parallel experlenc is
with very different results. To Saul these
years brought many trials from within
ind from without, but he fell before temp
tation. he was defeated In the moral bat
tle. he let evil overcome good, he grew
worse under the discipline instead of bet
ter. To David the same years brought
trial after trial, danger, temptation, exile,
•nemles, suffering, but he stood the test,
ne won the victory on the battlefield of
the heart, he overcame evil with good,
*nd came forth a conqueror, trained and
lilted to be a wise and great king.
1. Flight to Nob. Immediately after
David’s parting with Jonathan at CJIbeah
(our last lesson I, David tied southward to
Nob. Nob was the religious capital of
the nation, where were the high priest
and the tabernacle with its service*. In
nls terror and distrust he told a falsehood
to Ahimeleeh the high priest, and as a
friend and relative of the king he was al
lowed to eat of the sacred shewbread and
lo lake with him the sword of Goliath.
The fruit of this lie was the massacre by
Saul of the high priest and his family
(save Ahlutharj, and the ministering
priests, elghty-flve in all ll Sam. 21. 22).
2. Flight to (lath. David hasted away
from Nob, and tied southwesterly to Gath,
a city of Philistines, the old residence of
Goliath.
3. In the Cave of Adullam. Heaving
Gath. David returned to the tribe of Ju
ilali. and took refuge in the cave of
Adullam. Being near Ills boyhood's home,
David was probably Well acquainted with
Hits cavern. Here there gathered around
him a large band of discontented people,
"mostly victims of Saul’s oppressions. '
and of the growing discontent with his
rule, on account of his recurring par
oxysms of insanity, and consequent In
ability to rule his kingdom well.
4. The -Wilderness of Judah. The cave
was on the borders of this wilderness,
bill David did not remain In his strong
hold; he dwelt In the forest of Hareth
G Sam. 22: 5>, and fought the Philistines
at Keltali. on the western border of Ju
dah. Ill tills forest he and Jonathan met
for the last and only time during his exile,
and renewed their conveuant of friend
ship ,
5. Experience at Engedi. neur the west
ern shore of the Dead Sea. Here he
spares Saul, as in the lesson for to-day.
II. "David's Battle with Temptation."'—
I Sum 26:1-8. The Scene. David, pursued
liy Haul for years, was now in hiding In
the wilderness of Zlph. about four miles
southeast of Hebron, east of the town oi
Zluh.
The Pursuit. Kor ions' reason.- per
haps from the lawlessness of David’s
hand, perhups from the desire to curry
favor with the king:, perhaps from grati
tude for Saul’s victory over their enemies
the Ainalekltes a few years before,—some
of the inhabitants of the village of Zlpb
sent word to Haul at his court In Gtbeah.
thirty miles to the north, that David was
In the wilds of their neighborhood. Saul
eume down with an army of three thou
sand men to the hill Ilachtlah overlook
ing that whole region.
5. "And David arose." after he had
learned by hts scouts where Saul was en
camped. ’’’and came to the place.
The Temptation. 7. "Saul lay sleeping
within the trench.”
N. “God hath delivered." by his guiding
providence, “thine enemy Into thine
hand." But an opportunity to do a wrong
deed does not make It right.
Our highest and deepest longings—as for
love, for usefulness, for success, for larg
er spheres—may be gratified In wrong
ways, at the expense of character, and by
low. outward. Instead of holy spiritual
methods.
III. David’s Victory over Self.—Vs. 9-12.
9. "Who can stretch forth his hand
against the Lord's anointed" (the divinely
appointed king* "and be guiltless?’’ Dav
id restrained his officer from doing what
he was unwilling to do himself.
11. "Take . . . nov/ the spear." Of
specially beautiful and costly workman
ship. distinguishing the king. "And the
cruse." Akin to "crucUile." a small Jar
or Jug.
13. "And no man saw It. nor knew it."
Duvld and Ablshal were practiced scouts
who could do such work noiselessly, like
the early American Indians.
Thus David gained a great victory over
himself, a greater than his famous victory
over Goliath. "He that ruleth his own
spirit Is greater than he that taketh a
city.”
IV. Overcoming Kvll with Good —Vs.
21-25. David and Ablshal went a safe dis
tance from 8aul’s camp to another hill,
and then called to Abner, Haul’s general,
and upbraided him for his carelessness.
He showed the spear and the water cruse,
to make known how Haul had been In his
power, and at the same time that he had
refused to harm the king.
21. "Then said Saul. X have sinned . . .
I have played the fool, and have erred
exceedingly.” Saul was doubtless sincere
so far as his present feelings were con
cerned, but his repentance was like the
early dew, or the lights that glorify the
surface of the summer sea, and pass away
with the setting sun.
23. "The Lord render." etc. Better
"shall render.” David committed his case
wholly to God. He would not take ven
geance Into his own hands. This was
another proof of David’s Innocence of the
charges against him. A guilty man does
not wish the Lord to Judge his cause.
"Delivered thee Into my hand." I have
been faithful to you.
24. "So let my life.” So may the Lord
cause Saul to spare David’s life, and de
liver him from the tribulations he was
enduring as an outlaw.
25. "Blessed be thou, my son David."
"There Is a ring of falseness; and this
was evidently the Impression made on the
outlaw, for he not only silently declined
the royal overtures, but almost Immedi
ately removed from the dominions of Saul
altogether, feeling that for him and his
there was no longer any hope of security
In the land of Israel so long as his foe.
King Saul, lived ’—Ellicott.
Overcoming Evil with Good. David
practiced the divine rule given one thou
sand years later by St. Paul, "If thine
enemy hunger, feed him; If he thirst,
give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt
heap coals of tire on his head." "Be not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil wUh
good." (Bom. 12:20. 2D.
Strength in Patience.
"How poor are they that have not
patience," says Shakspeare, and he
who has It is rich himself and pos
sesses that which not only is a benefit
