' ' _ "I have Popted and jigged in m y
: time , " quoth the Ancient Mariner ,
: - - briskly rubbing his hands together
f k at the reminiscence. "I recall
plainly the time when I was stationed
' off Barcelona on board the Centaur ,
k ; with your father Admiral Jack , and we
all went to a carnival balL" Here he
: L glanced in the direction of a certain
; ; pair of little feet , encased in black
t satin slippers , as if directing the attention -
tention of the younger man to the
, . ' delicate proportions of ankle , and
1 ' arched instep.
1 A rustling movement of dresses became -
. " came audible beyond the miniature
' forest of plants.
"Who is this girl ? " questioned a
voice.
; "She is a bold creature , certainly , "
added a second speaker. -
r "Lieut. Curzon fount her somewhere
about the Port , I fancy , for the part of
-Y the Phoenician , " explained the silvery
tones of Diana , lowered to a discreet
murmur. "Site is not at all the type.
Iffy laundress is much nearer the Ork-
ental or African original. We had so
little time to look about for a really
good one. "
"How very odd ! "
7 ; "I am surprised at Mrs. Griffith , I
confess. "
"One should draw the line somewhere -
where in these places , „ supplemented
Diana , smoothly. "Yes , I have been
waltzing with the Grand Duke. He
dances very nicely. "
Did Dolores hear this conversation
which was so audible to her compa--
ions ? Did the Swallow Waltz still
pulse throufilm her whole being , ex-
eluding other sound ? She took a step
forward , and , at the moment , a bell
tinkled in the adjoining street. She
dropped on her knees and bowed her
head.
The sound of the bell marked the
' passage of the host through the town ,
carried by a parish priest to the dy-
iug.The

Capt. Fillingham exchanged a glance
with Lieut. Curzon.
: "Yes , poor girl ! " murmured the
Ancient Mariner. "The women are
sure to be against . her. She is far too
I pretty ! "
i' The note of the bell died away in
the distance.
The weather had changed. Time
I night was dark. Storms seemed to
brood over the wild and boisterous sea ,
the wind moaned fitfully through the
trees , lightning quivered and flashed ,
now on the horizon , as if forming a
part of Etna's bursting flame , and
t' again defining somber masses of cloud
overhead.
Dolores rose to her feet. Gen. Grif-
fitli , guided by the ubiquitous Capt.
Blake , sought the girl to present to
her partner for the quadrille.
"I am ready , " said Dolores , quickly.
"That charming child makes me feel
young again , " said Capt Fillingham
to Arthur Curzon. "What an ankle-
ch ? A man might be pardoned for
committing some follies on her ac-
count. "
He chuckled silently at some amusing -
ing recollection , until a purple glow
overspread his face and neck.
"When I was second lieutenant out
at Buenos Ayres I fell in love with a
pretty Spanish girl , and persuaded her
-to run away with me , " lie continued ,
' after a pause. "IVe eloped to a country -
try house in the interior , as a first step
toward matrimony , but another Id--
low was after her. The irate parents
' ' and injured suitor followed closely on
-our heels , and we were brought back
by the ear. Small blame to my beauty
for preferring afresh , young Englishman -
man to a mud-colored native. ,
"Then you lost her ? " said Licut
Curzon , interested in spite of himself ,
while his gaze followed Dolores.
; t . "it seems she was an heiress. I did
- . - not know it. Not that I cared a straw.
The lover challenged me , and I pinked
him w item a rusty horse pistol just before -
. , fore we set sail for Demerara. "
> "bey cousin is beckoning to me , "
said the lieutenant , crossing the ball-
room.
"Like his father , Admiral Jack , "
mused the Ancient Mariner. "He will
run the gantlet of the women's
tongues b3 * dancing with that foreign
: : girl - all the evening , if only tp aefy
T : them , and in the fear that she might
have overheard their spiteful com-
, . ; meats and backbiting. They will be
furious , of course. There's not one of
. them can hold a candle to the Spaniard
y for beauty , unfortunately. Bless me !
yr' we can only be young once
Here Mrs. Fillingham bustled up to
rr him. She was attired in a girlish
& - - toilet of sky-blue silk , trimmed with
Maltese lace , and with a liberal- display -
: play of white shoulder and srm.per-
mittcd by a very tight corsage. "Are
you overheated , John , dear ? " she in-
quired. "There is a most treacherous
draught on this terrace. "
"I do not feel the 'draught in the
least , " was his testy rejoinder.
The elements of this ball in the , old
Maltese palace of the Knights Templur
comprised the usual guests gathered
together on such occasions. A number -
ber of Maltese noblemen , q 1cials
of the government , and members
of the army and navy , formed
the masculine portion of the throng.
The Irish lady , a recent convert to
catholicism , ardently desirous of
spreading her propaganda everywhere ,
invited the Scotch lady , who belonged
to. the Plymolitli brethren , and was reputed -
puted to invariably carry tiny , pink
booklets , printed in several languages ,
in her bag , to take tea with her on
board her yacht the following after- ,
noon. Mrs. Fillingham , as a zealous
member of the Primrose league , and
much addicted to the wearing of Primrose -
rose league aprons on occasion , ate
ices with a stubborn radicaL The
colonel's lady snubbed the major's
wife , and it is to be feared that the
latter retaliated by putting the cap-
, tain's meek , little bride in lien place.
Everywhere the social phases were
discernible of Charles Kingsley'stropi-
cal forest , in the climbing of parasitical -
tical plants disposed to displace a
neighbor by a pushing aggressiveness ,
and with much external affability of
manner.
Nor was a sprinkling of Americans
lacking , the western millionaire en
route around the world , accompanied
by a bevy of brisk young sons and
daughters , the slender lady from
New England in search of health , or
the vulgar matron of doubtful antecedents -
cedents , and much display of
glittering wealth , who avoided her
own people uneasily , while intent on
picking up a husband for lien buxom
offspring among the ranks of the
British oflicei-s present.
Mrs. Griffith , the suave hostess , intuitively -
tuitively perceiving the requirements
of each guest , may have been a trifle
puzzled when the New England lady
of Puritan pedigree gave it to be distinctly -
tinctly uuderstood that she did not
know the parvenue matron. The
hostess was disposed to ascribe leniently -
iently any gaucherie on the part of
the latter to a transatlantic origin ,
ameliorated by a profound respect for
English habitsand customs.
A little flutter of curiosity pervaded
these groups when Dolores was led
forth by Gen. Griffith. Why had the
guest of the evening chosen a quadrille -
rille to dance with so young and agile
a partner ? The reason was obvious ,
then and duke wished to talk with
the girl who had personated the Pli-
nician in the tableaux , and the quadrille -
rille afforded him all the advantages
of a tetc-a-tote. He was a young man
like another , and he amused himself
as best lie could. D.d he not , quiet
and simple in manner , view
humanity from a terrible height
of royal superiority , which dwarfed
all to a level of complete equality ?
Gentle reader , did you ever happen
to pause in aJartlkn d'Acclimatation to
note the familiar yet miraculous sight
of a mother duck seated comfortably
on the ground , preening her feathers ,
and ' her ducklings , balls of yellow
down scarcely emerged from the shell
quitting her side nimbly to hop on
the copin ; * of an adjacent basin , and
launch forth , with a sudden pop , on
the water , paddling boldly and gracefully -
fully in their native element ? The
further shore gained , the tiny atoms
emerge on terra-firma with a bright
glance at the human intruder , as who
should say , "You could not do as
much. "
Dolores remembered the downy
duckling. Guided by the music , the
movement of others , the hand of hem
partner , she went through her fiat
quadrille without awkward self-con-
sciousness , and with the lack of servility -
vility perceptible in the Spaniard or
the Italian. Had the grand duke required -
quired her to tread the stately
measure of solemn saraband , punctilious -
tilious minuet or coranto with him ,
inseparably a sociated with the
powdered wigs , diamond - shoe
buckles and sheer hilted
swords of the French court ,
Dolores would have bent and swayed
to tke same bewitching spell of the
pastime , novel and delightful in her
experience. No doubt her partner
was a very great gentleman , and he
was kind to notice her. Were not all
the men present great gentlemen to
her , beings of another world ?
The grand duke talked with anima-
mation during the changing figures ,
and Dolores l6tened dreamily , her
rich color glowing , and a dewy light
awakening in the depths of her eyes.
A slight accident marred the dance.
The prince caught the silver cord of
her card , threw the fan attached to
the floor , anti stepped upon it. He
gathered up the broken sticks with
'apologies , and gave them to one of
his attendant gentlemen. Then lie
stooped over Dolores , with some expression -
pression of regret presumably , but she
smiled and shook her heat.
Among the idle , curious , and deeply
interested spectators of this scene ,
none followed the movements of the
couple with the keen anxiety and unwilling -
willing fascination of Arthur Curzon.
Why did the royal visitor wish to
dance with Dolores ? Mrs. Griffith had
summoned her cousin to remind him ,
. . -
) . , :
I in a reproachful undertone , that he
had not yGt claimed the hand of Miss
Ethel Symthe.
He bowed and , led the young lady tea
a place. If the conversation of the
Prince was vivacious , the speech of
the neighboring couple was dry and
monosyllabic. A frozen restraint was
established between the partners. The
lieutenant lacked the finesse , malice
and self-consciousness of Capt. Blake
under similar circumstances. His replies -
plies to the propitiatory remarks of
Miss Symthe were brief. and ab-
stracted. The heroine of many ballrooms -
rooms did not suffer a frown to furrow
her fair countenance as she drank this
bitter cup of neglect and humiliation.
"Now for one of my waltzes , " said
Capt. Blake , with empressement , darting -
ing to the side of Dolores.
But the gallant soldier was foiled by
no less a person than Jacob Dealtry in
person , who appeared in the colonnade
with Florio asleep in one of the
capicious pockets of his loose and
shabby coat.
"flow long do you expect to keep
me waiting ? " he inquired , peevishly ,
of his granddaughter. "Will your tableaus -
leaus never have finished ? "
' 'It is all my fault , Mr. Dealtry , "
Lieut. Curzon hastened to interpose.
"I think we have finished with the
tableaux , and are ready to go. Let
me mind the carriage for you. "
The old man glanced with his habitual -
ual abstractioon around him , and a
cynical smile hovered about his withered -
ered lips.
"The fool and his money are soon
parted , " lie muttered to himself.
Lieut Curzon , with a slightly defiant -
ant expression , took Dolores on his
arm tc make her adieux to the hos-
tess. He could have wished the girl
had not been quite so timid and humble -
ble in bearing.
"What did the prince say to you
when lie broke your fan ? " he ques
tioned , abruptly , as he led her away.
"He wished to know where I lived. "
"And you told him about the old
Watch Tower ? " ii periously.
The dimp.cd chin of Dolores acquired -
quired a saucy curve.
"No , T only laughed , "
Then the darkness of the stormy
night swallowed up this Cinderella of
the ball.

IEUT. CURZON
awoke late on the
morning after the
ball.
Ile had slept at
the hotel , and
must return to
duty on board
ship i n a few
hours. He hummed a strain of the
"Swallow" waltz as lie dressed , and
partook of breakfast. His spirits were
light , although the weather was
gloomy , heavy rain having fallen from
midnight to dawn. The breakfast dispatched -
patched , he consulted his watch. lie
need not seek the port and the waiting -
ing gig for another hour and a half.
Muchi may be accomplished in one
hour and a half. Ile smiled with a
sense of boyish exhilaration at the
prospect of a country walk , and rapidly -
idly made his way through the town.
A yellow placard on a wall made
him pause to read afresh the announcement -
ment of the debut of the new singer ,
Signorina Giulia Melita , in the "Bar-
ber of Seville. "
"Time very timing ! " lie exclaimed
aloud.
A few paces further on he met Capt.
Blake , carrying an enormous bouquet
of fresh roses , which he was about to
leave , with his card , at the door of the
young prima donna. "I am quite gone
on time little Yankee since the cotillion
of last night , " he explained , with a
sentimental expression. "Sue can hold
her own in international chaff by the
hour , you know. "
Licut Curzon ginnced at the shops.
No ! He would not replace the fan
broken by time grand duke in the quad-
rille. A curious and inexplicable phase
of obstinacy withheld him. He bought
a pacaage of sweets instead , and took
the direction of the Watchm Tower.
The girl Dolores was the central object -
ject of his thoughts , the mental star
whence diverged all rays of trivial
events add evanescent emotions. She
had entered in and taken possession of
his heart and soul. Time thraldom was
sweet to him , and he made no effort to
resist the spell , Lovely , radiant , caressing -
ressing Dolores ! He still felt time
light pressure of her supple , young
body on his arm as they
circled around the ball-room together
in time mazes of time Swallow waltz ,
His senses were not yet free of the intoxication -
toxication of the previous evening
For time rest , he was eager to behold
her again , to remind her in athousand
indirect ways of his own right of precedence -
cedence of other men in her esteem ,
and yet his mood was tranquil , even
secure.

Politeness of the Swedes.
"The unfaiLng politeness of ilia
Swedes is a , constant source of wonder
and astonishment to visitors , " said
Gerge C. Truman to a St. Louis repor-
ter. 'They have a large assortment
of bows and courtesies according to time
age and sex of those who are thus rec-
ogniztd , but the lifting of the hat is
so universal that it seems to be going
all the time. Even the butcher's boy ,

stead of passingllkm with a careless
"hello , " or giving him a friendly
buffet , as an American had might do ,
doffs his hat to him with elaborate

THE REPUBLICAN POLICY OF
PROTECTION IS UPHELD ,
A Fair Trial 1las Demonstrated That
time Democrttie I'ollc + - of Free Trade
Is Not the Thing for This Country-
Figures Never Lie.
The work of rehabilitating American
shipbuilding might just as well have
begun at the close of the Civil War
as a quarter of a century later. If
that had been done what an immense
sum of money would have been kept
in this country in freights paid to foreign -
eign owners and in addition employment -
ment would have been given to thousands -
sands of American workmen. But the
Democratic party , true to its traditional ,
policy , opposed every proposal that was
made to revive American shipbuilding.
For once it disapproved an English
system. Notwithstanding the fact that
the English flag is found on every sea ,
England has always supported the subsidy -
sidy plan. The consequence was English -
lish merchants were always finding
new markets , for the government stood
behind the steamship lines ; supplying
the money which removed all fear of
pecuniary loss while building up English -
lish trade in a new field.
The Democratic party , as a rule , is
always ready to adopt English ideas ,
but it could not be induced to favor the
subsidy plan which had been so helpful -
ful in extending England's trade. "No
subsidy" it shouted , and shouted it so
loudly that the Republicans were afraid
to go ahead. The Democrats also declared -
clared that England had secured control -
trol of the carrying trade of the world.
She had skilled shipbuilders and cheap
material , and it was foolish for Americans -
cans to believe that they could compete
with her. The best thing the United
States could do , they said , was o buy
England's cheap ships-"England's
floating coffins" Mr. Plimsoll had characterized -
acterized them on the floor of the
House of Commons , and with them try
to regain a part of the carrying trade.
There were a few men of clear vision
who denied these propositions and insisted -
sisted that American genius would
surmount all difficulties if given the
slightest chance. But the Democratic
party did not believe that American
genius was in the race with England
and it discouraged , persistently and
systematically , every effort that was
made to assist shipbuilding in the
United States.
It has been demonstrated that the
American people can build ships , but
that does not imply that we are to regain -
gain the carrying trade of the world ,
which was lost during the progress of
the Civil War. We will have to fight
for that with England , and we will have
to adopt England's tactics before hope
of winning the battle can be indulged.

Our Pottery Trades.
As the free-traders are not satisfied
with the comparison of our imports of
china and pottery ware under the Gorman -
man tariff , that has been made with
our imports during 1594 , we are quite
willing to accommodate themn and look
further backward , taking the first
eight months of the McKinley tariff
period in comparison with the first
eight months of the Gorman tariff
period , as follows :

and China Ware.

The Treasury Department statistics
show that under the first eight months
of the Gorman Tariff we have imported
$700,000 worth more foreign-made
china , porcelain , parian and bisque
ware , earthen , stone and crockery
ware than we did during the first eight
months after the McKinley Tariff became -
came a law. By more than this
amount of money has the output of time
American potteries been diminished ,
and American manufacturers and
American labor have been compelled to
pay for the gift made by the Free-
Traders to their foreign friends. As
Professor Wilson says , we are "doing
very well , at least for his friends
abroad-the foreign manufacturers.
Poverty and Free Trade.
We have shown the actual condition
of Britishm foreign trade under a Free
Trade policy that , within a dozen years ,
has resulted in a loss to the extent of
$12.50 per capita of their population.
Naturally a falling off in trade , whether -
er import , export or domestic , must affect -
fect the masses of the people by giving
them less employment , by circulating
less money earned in wages through
the production and transportation of
goods. To show what this meant in
England , we give the total poor rates
expended in the relief and management
of the poor throughout the United
Kingdom during the same years , 1882
and 1893 , as follows :
Total British Poor Rates Expended in
the Relief and Management of the
Poor.

Totals . . . . . . . 16,999,823 21,740,734
It appears that the amount of money
expended in the relief and manage-
?
- , „ .
ment of the poor people of the United
Kingdom was slightly ' less than 17-
000,000 in 1882 , but that it increased to
21,740,754 in 1893. While the Brit-
1 ksh foreign trade fell off at the rate of
$190,000,000 a year within a dozen
years of Free-Trade , there was an increase -
crease in the total British poor rates
expended of $23,700,000 a year.
These are official British figures. It
might be well to submit them for the
consideration of the Free-Traders in
this country during the dull political
season and also during our next active
Congressional campaign. They are interesting -
teresting , the more so because they are
official and true. They show that pot -
erty is prosperous under a Flee-Trade
policy , no matter how foreign trade is.
Exports Under Free-Trade.
We believe that the time is still within -
in the memory of the American people
when they were told so repeatedly ,
and so forcibly , how Free-Trade would
increase our exports ; how it would open
the markets of time world to us and enable -
able us to sell our goods so rapidly that
our farmers and manufacturers would
have difficulty in supplying the de-
mand. Let us see what Free-Trade has
done for the English producers. Here
are their exports of British produce
during the last twelve years :

The statistics of the United Kingdom -
dom show that the exports of British
produce were worth $23,372,297 less in
1893 than in 1882. The decrease during -
ing the twelve years was at time rate of
23,372,297 a year. The value of the
exports of British produce in 18S2 was
6.17s. 2d. per capita of the population.
In 1593 it had fallen off to 5. 13s. 6d.
per capita , the loss of export trade
during time dozen years of Free-Trade
being at the rate of 1. 3s. Sd. per capita -
ita of population per annum.
Free-Traders in this country should
make a note of these facts. It might
be well for Protectionists to place this
in their hats , so as to remind time Free-
Traders , when they get to work on their
campaign lies again , that , during a period -
riod of a dozen years of Free-Trade in
the United Kingdom , the exports of
British produce decreased at time rate o
$115,000,000 a year , or $6 per capita of
the population. This is one of the
things that the English Free-Traders
recommend Americans to adopt.
Looking 1iaektvard.
The Free-Traders are not satisfied
when a comparison is made between
our business conditions of to-day and
those of a year ago. They want to go
further back , and select the year 1592
as time proper one with which to make
a comparison. Taking them at their
word , the Boston Commercial Bulletin
gives the imports of woolen manufactures -
tures during the three months of January -
uary , February and March , 1895 and
1S93 , as follows :

It is pointed out that the Gorman
Tariff during the three months "has
cut down our domestic outlet , for the
benefit of the foreigner , to the extent
of nearly $5,000,000 , even when compared -
pared with the season selected by Free-
Traders as the most desirable from
their point of view. " During the three
months of this year the value of our
imports of woolen cloths increased 65
per cent over the imports of the same
three months in 1 93.
ForclGn Trade and Free-Trade.
We have referred to the decline in
the exports of British produce during
a dozen years of Free-Trade. Now let
us glance at the total English import
and export trade , bearing in mind always -
ways that , according to our American
Free-l ratlers , a Free-Trade policy will
do wonders in expanding our foreign
commerce. Here are the figures of the
combined import and export trade of
the United Kingdom during the same
years , 1882 and 1893 :
TOTAL BRITISH IMPORT AND EXPORT -
PORT TRADE.

Decrease . . . 37,853,874 2 1.4 1
It will be seen that , within a dozen
years , there has been a falling off in
the total British import and export
trade at the rate of $37,85,874 a year ,
which is equal to a loss in their foreign
trade of 2 14s. 1d. per capita of ponu-
lation.
Protectionists would do well to remember -
member this fact and remind our Free-
Traders that , under a policy of Free- #
Trade in the United Kingdom , the ,
combined British import and export
trade has fallen off within a dozen
years at the rate of nearly $190,000,000
a year-an average loss of $12.50 per
capita of the British population. This
is a Free-Trade fact shown by the British -
ish official statistics. In fact , it is a
condition , not a theory.
