CHAPTER VI. ( Continued. )
"I've found out the things she cared
for wonst plazo her no more , that her
eye is always turned wan way the
way you come across the mountain ;
her ear always llstenln' for wan
sound the sound of yer foootstep ;
that her thoughts arc with you night
an' day , sleepin' and wakin * . I came
on her yesterday mornin' at daybreak
an' found her dramin' on the cliff ;
when I touched her she smiled and
whispered the word 'Paul' that's yer
name , isn't it Paul ? An' ye've axed
her to call yer by it , though ye did
mane no harm ! "
The old woman was right ; I had
asked her to call me by my Christian
name the day before. I turned away
strangely moved and startled , remorse
pity , tenderness mingling with a steal
thy glow of triumph and satisfaction ,
offspring of the meanest , most self
ish vanity , making me ashamed to
meet my inquisitor's scornful search
ing eye.
"What do you wish me to do , if this
be true , which I very much doubt ? "
I asked , after a painful pause.
"There's only wan thing you can
do , and that . .your sense ought to tell
you quick enough. Go away at once
and never come nigh the place again. "
"Yes , " I assented eagerly , "I will
go away in a day or two without
fail. "
"Ift a day or two. No if yc go at
all , ye must go now this very night ! "
' "What , without one word of fare
well ? "
"Without a word. "
"I'll do nothing of the kind ; you've
overshot the mark , old woman , " I said
determinedly , moving away. "If I doge
go tonight , I'll see her first and as
sure myself of the falseness of your
silly tale , you doting old termagant ! "
I added under my breath.
I went quickly back , she follow
ing me slowly , and , on the edge of
the cliff where we had first stood to
gether , I found Helen motionless look
ing out to sea ,
Without giving any explanation or
looking her in the face , I told her ,
with a forced heavy briskness , I had
come back to say good-by , as business
of importance called me to England
on the morrow.
"You are going tomorrow ? " she re
peated , but said not another word.
stole a glance at her face ; it was
deadly pale and still , but otherwise
bore no trace of stormy feeling.
"It's very unfortunate , but I must
start in the morning. I'll send you
the books I promised and the illus
trated 'Atlas' as soon as I get to
.town. You will find the latter very
useful for the information you want ,
m I said uneasily "there's an alphabet
II ical key at the end , you know , and
and I'll leave you my address in case
in case you should want anything.
You know how happy I would be to
help you , and hear of your welfare 1
now and then , Helen. " 1
Still not a word ; she did not seem
to hear me , so I relapsed into silence i
too. 3
' "Helen , " I resumed desperately ,
"have you have you nothing to say
to me ; I I am going away tomor-
row. "
"I have to say goodby , have I
-not ? " she answered at last , turning t
round full upon me. "Then let us 1
say it at once. " She put her hands 1
for a moment into mine , stooped , 3
.picked up Jim and held his little wet
nose to my face. "A friend has come
to say good-by to you and me , Jim
a very kind friend. Tell him how
sorry you are to lose him , and ask
him not to to forget us too soon.
An instinct of self-protection urged
me to hold my tongue. I bent my
.head over her arm and touched Jim's
little ragged poll gingerly. Our faces
his mistress' and mine were but a
few inches apart ; I could not resist
the upward glance lo , before she had
time to turn away , -great swelling
tear fell from her veiled eyes , and
what -self-possession I had left
deserted me altogether. The next second
end Helen was in my arms and I was
Irlssing the tears from her crimson
cheeks , telling her not to fret , for I
would never leave her now , that she
and Jim and I would go away to
gether and never part again.
Prove yer words , prove yer words.
if ye mane fair an' honest. Come up
to the house wid me this minute an'
jist ax th' ould wan for her straight.
She'll give her to ye fast enough , sorra
a fear. "
Molly's flat eager voice broke in up
on my sweetheart's smothered sobs ;
her dusty hand pulled us apart and
finally dragged me up the meadow and
into the presence of Mrs. Casey. The
venerable lady wo found in a flannel
wrapper and befrllled night cap ,
warming her toes before a bright turf
fire , a round of buttered toast and a
steaming tumbler of port negus by
her side.
CHAPTER VII.
'At first she was Icy indignant at my
intrusion ; but , when she learned the
nature of my errand , her manner
thawed , and with flattering affability
she gave me to understand that I
could take her beloved grandchild to
wife as soon as ever I liked even
suggested , though somewhat doubt
fully , that I should wait to be supplied
with a companion tumbler of negus ,
in celebration of the solemn betrothal ,
which hospitality I curtly declined ;
and , after a few whispered words with
Helen , who seemed quite dazed or
stupefied , I began my long walk home
In a turmoil of tenderness , triumph and
irritation that was little in harmony
with the glorious , stillness of the
moonlit ocean and cliffs.
I awoke the next morning after a
restless night with the comforting
consciousness that I had made an un
mitigated fool of myself , tied myself
for life to a girl of no position , edu
cation , fortune , even beauty , for whom
in cold blood I really did not care a
straw , while my heart was irretriev
ably bound to another.
I wandered about the mountains
alone all day , and in the afternoon
turned towards the farm , but when
it came within view a feeling of im
patient repulsion made me turn back
at once. That'night I wrote a short
note to Helen , telling her I had to
go to England on business , and on
the following day I crossed the chan
nel.
General Stopford and his niece , I
heard , were occupying their town
house for a few weeks. I did not call
on them , but the day after my arrival
I had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Stopford in the row , looking the pic
ture of blooming health and beauty ,
my rival in devoted attendance.
She called me at once to her side
and in an imploring whisper begged
me to come and see her that after
noon , that she would be at home
to no one but me. and had so much
to say to me. I refused point-blank ,
and took my leave almost at once , de
termined never voluntarily to come
within range of her appealing eyes
again. Yet , somehow , the very next
day found me on the general's door
step , asking if his niece were at home.
I was ushered into a dim boudoir ,
and , when my eyes became accustomed
to the light , I saw the young lady
sitting beside Lord Sandmouth's son ,
and toying with a bunch of roses that
he had evidently just presentqd.
"I beg your pardon , " I said , with
a low bow , as the pair started to their
feet. "I think I have made a mis
take ; it was yesterday afternoon you
were to have been "at home" and
alone to me , Miss Stopford , was it
aot ? "
I went away , wrote immediately to
Mrs. Casey urging her to hasten the
preparations for our marriage. Three
; veeks later I returned to Donegal , and
mo lovely August morning , without
settlements , trousseau , presents or the
) rthodox breakfast , I was married
n the whitewashed parlor where I had
irst seen my bride less than three
nonths before with her apron full of n
larly potatoes.
The ceremony was uneventful until fi
he conveyance that was to take us to
he train came lumbering and jolt-
ng up the grassy drive , and Helen
ese to say good-by to her grand-
oother.
"You you will-write to me , and
et me see you sometimes , granny ? "
he said timidly , with a slight break
a her voice.
"Certainly , if you earnestly wish it ,
ear child , " answered Mrs. Casey ,
irushing the girl's cheek with her
iristly chin ; "but at the same time ,
lelen , I have been thinking seriously
ver this matter , and have come to the
onclusion that it would be better if
ou did not return to the humble
ceno of your childhood , for reasons
ou will understand later. You are
ntering into a world of pleasure ,
ealth , excitement ; I am passing away
.ere , in solemn undisturbed commun-
jn with my Creator. My days are
rather not have them
rould broken el
nto by intercourse with a world I
Ic
ave forsaken forever. You must not , Icsi
car child , think this decision harsh
r unnatural , or that it is dictated by .
ack of affection for you. No , no , far
rom it ; I will bear you daily in my
houghts , and pray with all the unc-
ion of my soul that you may be hap-
y and prosperous in your new state s
f life and worthy in every way of the ai
stimable gentleman in whose keep-
ag I place you with unbounded con- p :
dence today. " w
I bowed low to hide a grim smile ,
or , indeed , I might have been the fe
orriest scamp that ever took a wife , lau
ar aught the old lady knew to the u ]
outrary ; and my wife , with a com- m
osed , almost callous countenance , ei
esponded , moving to the door fadi
"So be it , granny ; let this be goody - di
y forever , then. " ei
On the doorstep Molly was waiting si
3 ning her arms around her nurse- siT
hild In a noisy embrace ; and as we T :
imbered down the hill her shrill w
lesslngs , mingled with the rattle of 01n
obnailed heels and handfuls of rics n <
trlking the back of the carriage , ui
mde a deafening noise. re
When it was over I withdrew my si
ands from my ears and said to my in
rife , who was looking out of the win- ca
ow y <
"Well , Helen , how do you feel ? It si
as not such a terrible business after
11 , was It ? "

She turned round. I saw that her
eyes were gleaming , her cheeks burn
ing.
ing."You heard her , you saw her ? " aho
cried bitterly. "She was so glad to
get rid of me , she could not bear the
idea of looking upon me again she ,
my mother's mother , with whom I
have lived all my life. What is there
in me , I wbnder , that makes me such
an unbearable burden to every one ?
When I had the fever years ago , she
she prayed that I might die. I wish
I had I wish I had. Now , they are
all relieved , overjoyed , that you you
have been tricked into marrying mo
every one of them , Biddy , Mike , even
Molly , who who I thought -cared a
little for me. Oh , I "
"She does care for you , " I broke In
soothingly. "And so do I , Helen
you know that well. Why else should
I have married you ? "
"I don't know I don't know , " she
answered wildly. "You had some good
reason , I feel ; and , though you fancy
you care a little for me now , it will
wear away , and you will long to get
rid of me like the rest I wish I
had never met you. I wish I had
never been born there's no one carea
for me in the world but little Jim and
he has no sense my little Jim , whom
I I am never to see again , though
you promised , Mr. Dennys , that he anil
I were never to be parted you did
you know you did ! "
"My dear , why did you not bring
him with you ? You know I would-
not have objected. Let us turn back
and get him at once. "
I leaned out to tell the driver to
turn , when I saw the poor little dog , ,
with his tongue hanging out , covered
with dust , ambling feebly after us.
I picked him up and laid him in his
mistress' arms , and left them for a
time to whisper their grievances
to one another. Presently Helen
touched me gently , and I saw the
storm had gone out of her face. She
said wistfully
"I'm sorry I said what I did , Mr.
Dennys. Will you forgive me , please ,
ind and try to be kind to poor little
Jim and me ? " When I had made the
nest suitable answer I could think of
; he added : "When v/hen you are
eally tired of us you will let us
enow , and we'll go away quietly and
lever trouble you again. " ,
We remained abroad for five months ,
or I was anxious to rub off the sur-
ace-coat of my wife's rusticity before
> ringing her under the critical eyes
sf my friends.
I must say the undertaking was not
: painful or tedious one by any
ueans. Somehow the lace ruffles and
langles fitted her little brown wrists
aore naturally than I imagined. She
earned quickly and aptly , and , much
0 my surprise , showed an innate
apability of discerning worth and
eauty in the higher branches of art
, 'hich culture had failed to awaken
1 me. In a picture gallery she would
istinctively go to the best picture ,
tand entranced before canvases from
rhich my eye and , indeed , the average
ye of our fellow-travelers would
arn away in dull weariness.
She was very observant and intelll-
ent , never required to be told a thing
vice , and in a very short time of
edded intimacy learned to read the
leaning of every light and shade that ,
'
ossed my common-place counte-
ance , the very thoughts of my heart
-in a manner that startled me at
rst , until I came to accept it as an
dinary accomplishment , not without
s advantages to one of my torpid
imperament. The thing I had been
inging lazily for I would find some-
aw at my elbow as soon as she
itered the room , the words I would
ish said would drop naturally from
2r lips , the people I liked would be
= r friends at the end of the week.

SHIPS FOR TEE WORLD
ANDREW CARNEGIE'S VIEW OF
FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.
American Shipyards Will Supply Vessels
for All Creation and with a System of
Adequate Protection Our Merchant
Marine Will lie EoztoretL
Andrew Carnegie has returned home
from his annual summer tour In Eu
rope more firmly convinced than ever
that the United States ia destined to
become the great shipbuilding country
of the world. He naturally views the
situation from the standpoint of a steel
producer , and in hia reliance on the
advantages that the American ship
builder enjoys in the matter of cheaper
materials he overlooks for the time
being other considerations which enter
into the question of a restoration of
American shipping on the high seas.
He says that a shipbuilder in this
country to-day has the advantage of
about § 4 per ton in the cost of all steel
materials , and he has all his woodwork
cheaper than builders in either Great
Britain or Germany. Mr. Carnegie ,
however , does not contend that the
American shipowner can operate his
cheaply-built ship in competition with
the low-priced equipment of foreign
vessels which may have cost more in
the construction.
Although Mr. Carnegie is in a posi
tion to appreciate fully the necessity
of affording special protection to Amer
ican ships , he evidently has not yet
given that phase of the question as
much attention as he has given to the
simpler matter of building American
ships for the world's market. He be
lieves in ttie immediate development of
our shipbuilding facilities. On this
subject he says :
"I called the attention of some West
ern shipbuilders to the opening pre
sented for a great shipyard in New
York nearly two years ago , and I have
received letters from several persons
regarding the matter. I know also of a
leading shipbuilding concern in Great
Britain which is considering the ad
visability of locating here. It is ob
vious to any man that the United
States is going to resume its original
position as the chief shipbuilding na
tion of the world. What is the use of
sending thousands of tons of steel to
Glasgow and Belfast , as we are doing
now , when we might as well build the
ships here and send them over ? "
When asked to what extent he would
personally assist a project to establish
mother shipyard here Mr. Carnegie
said :
"Well , what has our company al
ready done toward it ? We have as
sisted in placing the steel at the dis
posal of shipowners here several dollars
lars per ton cheaper than any other
shipbuilders in the world can get it. I
: hink that is doing a big part in the
natter. When we are asked to take
in interest in any one shipbuilding
: oncern we naturally hesitate. We are
: he friends of all the shipbuilders , and
ny heart is in seeing- the United States
esume her former position as the fore-
nest shipbuilding nation. It is upon
he cards. I believe that the Carnegie
: ompany would contract with any re-
iponsible shipbuilding company to fur-
lish it all of its steel at several dollars
L ton less than any shipyard in the
) ld World is able to obtain it. and
his for any number of years that the
: oncern may desire. "
Mr. Carnegie added that steel was
lound to continue very much cheaper
n this country than in any other coun-
ry. Great Britain , he remarked , has
10 supply of raw materials to make
teel ; her coal is getting dearer and her
> re is nearly exhausted. Germany
lever could make steel and deliver it
o the shipyard as cheaply as Great
Jritain. Each succeeding year will
aake more apparent the fact that the
fhole shipbuilding business of the
r-orld lies open to the United States.
With regard to the ability of the
imerican shipowner to equip , man and
perate his vessel so as to restore the
imerican flag to the commerce of the
eas , Mr. Carnegie said that he had no
oubt a way would be found by which
his live Yankee nation would , after
uiMing the ships , manage to operate
lost of them. Although Mr. Carnegie c
n the present occasion has refrained c
rom discussing tariff questions , he is i
nown to favor legislative measures i
tiat will enhance the advantages of I
jnerican shipping over the shipping
f foreign countries. Being able to
reduce the best ships in the world
g
t the lowest cost , this country must
ecessarily take steps to give ample *
rotection to the American owners of
aose ships against the rivalry of ves- .
uls flying foreign flags which are op-
rated at much less cost than is possi- c
lo in the manning and handling of an
.merican ship. Mr. Carnegie is hearty -
y in favor of building up an Ameri-
in merchant marine. This country is
repared to supply the whole world
ith its products , and the shippers of
lis country ought to be able to deliver
ich products in vessels flying the
.merican flag.
"One cannot travel abroad , " remarks
[ r. Carnegie , "without seeing the in-
aads that the United States Is making
i many lines of trade. In Germany
ie American bicycle is being used
lore than all others combined. You
unnot walk down Regent street in
omlon without seeing the Americaa
doe shops. The wife of a prominent
Inglish statesman told me that she
uys American shoes and finds that
icy are better thaii home made. "
Men like Mr. Carnegie who believe
r.plicitly in the destiny of this country
> eventually control the commerce of
ie world are the men who must ad-
Ise and uphold the national legislators
i framing a suitable law to nrotect
.merican cargo carriers. Just as a
reat mercantile house reaps part of
; s business advantage by delivering
the goods it sells in its own wagons ,
so should America in distributing her
varied products among the nations of
the earth be able to make her deliveries
in her own ships.

The Golden
It was a case of killing the goose
that laid the golden egg when the laws
that gave protection to American ship
ping were repealed. And we haven't
the excuse of the old woman in the
story , who hoped , by killing the goose ,
to get all the gold in a lump. We
didn't hope to get any gold by killing
American shipping and we didn't.
What we did hope for we didn't get.
The first step toward doing away with
the laws protecting American ship
ping was taken in response to the ar
guments-of a pro-British party and
with the hope that the repeal of our
laws providing for discriminating du
ties would help to bring about an era
of good feeling , a warm friendship be
tween this country and England. A
vain and illusive "hope it proved , as
subsequent events showed * We gained
nothing , but we lost our ocean carryIng -
Ing trade.
We have seen our import carriage in
American ships decrease from over 90
per cent of our total import carrying
trade in the twenties to less than 20
per cent in the nineties. We have seen
our export carriage In American ships
decrease from over SO per cent in the
twenties to less than 10 per cent in the
nineties. The gold eggs to pay for this
ocean carriage have been going into
the pockets of foreigners. There is no
reason why we should not keep them
for ourselves no reason except our
failure to return to our former policy
of levying discriminating duties.
Concerning : "Wool and AVoolcn * .
The truth is that foreign imports of
woolen goods have not to any appre
ciable extent affected the industry this
year , and the home market has been
depressed almost exclusively by two
mistakes of domestic origin. The first
was the crazy speculation in wool
which was based on the notion that ,
with about two years' supply in sight ,
wool could be profitably raised last
February more than 50 per cent above
prices obtained a year earlier. The
second was the advance of many wool
en goods above prices which consum
ers were prepared to pay , on the theory
that people would not believe that wool
could decline , even after such an ad
vance and with a great stock on hand.
Most people did believe it would de
cline , and held back orders for goods.
Both materials and goods , having run
away from the demand for consump
tion , met inactive markets , and yield
ing in both was necessary to prepare
either the public or the clothiers to buy
with any freedom. It was inevitable
that in time business would take the
place of speculation. New York

The Urgent Need. "
We can build ships as cheaply in the
Jnited States as they are built-in Great
Britain , but we must have them to
mild in similar quantities in order to
[ o this.
What this country needs is a law that
pill make it as profitable for an Ameri-
an to put his capital into an Ameri-
an-built ship for the foreign trade as
t ever was for him to put his money
nto a railroad or into any other great
irotected and prosperous American in-
lustry. To do that the nation must
ecognise that there are two distinct
, nd different standards , the American
nd the foreign. To maintain our own
tandard of wages and of living a pref-
rence must be created for the Amer-
can ship sufficient to enable its own-
r to employ native or naturalized citl-
cns of the United States to run them ,
, nd they must be fed in a manner that
s not degrading to that citizenship ,
"his is impossible without such na-
ional legislation. New York Com-
icrcial.

The old Democratic cry that a tariff
hat sought to protect the American
fiborer and farmer would lose us our
oreign markets has been squarely dis-
roved in the increased prosperity
, -hich has become ours even in the

con us not only quick victories in war
ut rapid accretions to our commerce.
