CHAPTER IX. ( Continued. )
"Is anything" matter ? " she ask
ed , glancing anxiously in the direc
tion of her aunt.
"Nothing whatever"was the brusque
reply ; "it is mo'rely a shawl which
Lady. Howard wished for. Bit you
did not hear her call , I suppose ; you
were too much taken up with that
-fellow Brown. "
J5velyn raised her eyebrows , and
gave film a swift utterly disdainful
look.
"It is strange what you see in that
man , " he went on , folding his arms ;
"and , whilst you persistently avoid my
eocioty , you seem everlastingly ready
to enter into conversation with him.
It is not fancy , Miss Luttrell it is
perfectly true. Three times to-day
have I attempted to speak to you ;
thrco times have you made Borne trif
ling excuse and turned to leave me.- "
"And why have I , " exclaimed Eve
lyn , her eyes flashing fire "why ? Sim
ply because you persist in discussing
the most ridiculous of subjects ! "
"I have certainly made half a dozen
attempts during the last few days to
toll you that I love you , to ask you
to bo my wife ; but perhaps that is a
topic of conversation which you care
to discuss only with your friend
Brown , since you appear to find him
so very interesting. "
< pr rather perhaps it is that , whilst
you talk such utter nonsense , he talks
sense ! " was the cutting reply.
"You call a declaration of love , a
proposal of marriage , nonsense , then. "
"Yes ; I call anything nonsense that
is so contrary to all reason , " return
ed Evelyn , her voice trembling. "And ,
since you know how much I hate it ,
I wonder you pester me as .you do. "
"Oh , very well ! If that is the case ,
I will not attempt to renew the sub
ject again In that way , at any rate ;
my attentions shall annoy you no long
er , and "
"Thank you. " interrupted Evelyn in
AGAIN EVELYN ANSWERED "NO ! "
low angry tones "that is all I care
about ; " and , without another word or
look , she turned to the open window
and disappeared , leaving Falkland with
ruffled brows and lips set In angry
determination gazing drearily into va
cancy.
CHAPTER X.
It was certainly true. Miss Luttrell
had not been mistaken in declaring
that the forged check was not one of
those which she had lost some months
before ; * and a careful investigation
quickly revealed the fact that the
check in question had been dexterous
ly extracted from the book in such a
manner as to leave no blank coun
terfoil to raise the suspicions of its
owner.
"Itis clear , that the forgery has
been effected quite recently , and , no
doubt , during our stay here , " declar
ed Lady Howard , looking towards Eve
lyn and Mr. Falkland for confirma
i tion of her words , the latter having ,
despite her niece's protestations , been
called in. for consultation upon the
weighty matter. "But the thing is ,
who can have done it ? There are
half a dp on men in the hotel who may
be really > 'professional forgers for all
we know ; but I do not suppose that
one of them even knows Evelyn's
Christian name , much less her signa
ture. "
* "I beg your pardon , Lady Howard
rou forgot the visitors' book , " sug
gested Falkland promptly.
'
"The visitors' * book ? Ah , yes her
name is there , certainly ! But who
snuld be sure it was her writing ? Who
would dare to forge a check with such
-doub'tful assistance ? And. now that
f think of it" Lady Howard tapped
her gold-rimmed fan against her fore
head "I fancy I myself was the one
to write our names. Can you remem
ber , Evelyn ? "
! remember quite well. You
did write them , I know , " answered
Evelyn , with a vindictive little nod
towanlu Gilbert Falkland.
"Oh. indeed ! But , even if that is
so , there arc twenty other ways in
which u clever forger could get hold
of your signature. You have not writ
ten to anybody staying in the hotel ,
I suppose , Miss Luttrell ? "
"Written to anybody ? No oertain-
ly not ! "
'Nor lent any books in whk-h your
nane : is inscribed ? "
"No , " wtmnert Evi-Jyn. with the
same decision , "I have not lent any-
"Then , as far as your recollec
tion goes , you can giveup no chin to
the mystery ? You have no remem
brance , for instance , of writing a let
ter and tearing it up , or of signing
your na'ne in any eusiice way wl'icb
could possibly be turned against you ? "
Again Evelyn answered "No , " but
this time there was less assurance in
her tones. Standing with her arms
folded on the back of her aunt's chair.
she had started slightly at Falkland's
question , and now , as she raised her
head , a strangely perplexed look came
suddenly into her eyea.
"I I cannot remember anything , "
she added hurriedly.
"Not anything at all ? " persisted
Falkland suspiciously , quick to notice
her evident hesitation.
' No'1 abruptly "nothing. "
"Well , the only thing is to taki
care of that check , " observed Falkland.
watching her narrowly. "You see , it
i really nil that we have to go upon.
If you would give it to me. though. I
might be able to do something for
you in the matter. "
"Thank you. but I shall have no
need to trouble you. I" the words
Mere spoken in the same lujsitatiug ,
almost faltering tones ' have given
it to Major Brown. " j
' . 'You have given it to Major
Brown ? "
Had a thunderbolt fallen at Falk
land's feet , greater dismay could not
have been depicted on his counte-
v
nance.
"Yes ; he suggested it ought to be n
put in the hands of an expert at e
once ; and so he is taking it up to
London in the morning. " she added , P
b
giving the necessary explanation as >
t <
tersely as possible , and then turning h
away quickly , as though she could
not trust herself to utter another syl S !
lable. * S
"He is taking it ! Great heavens. 7
Miss Luttrell. you cannot mean it ! S ; (
Surely you have never been so foolish S ; (
as to allow such a thing ? " gasped is
Falkland , starting forward , his face isB
livid , an expression of absolute in B
credulity in his eyes. U
A faint nod w
a very different one
from that with which she had favored : n
him a moment before was Evelyn's
only reply.
"Oh. Miss Luttrell. this is worse
than madness ! " Falkland passed his w
hand across his forehead with a ges fa
ture of despair , of dazed indescribable faF
bewilderment. "Did not instinct , your hi
own common sense , tell you the bi
truth ? If nothing else , the very biM
fact of his anxiety to secure that M
check should have aroused your sus in
picions. You might have guessed It t
whose handiwork it is ! " er
"Guessed ? " repeated Lady Howard. tr
"Good gracious , Mr. Falkland , you do ns
not mean to say that you have found In :
a clue to this affair already ? " lit
"Yes , Lady Howard : I believe" he st.
gave a triumphant glance towards CO
Evelyn "our suspicions" with a very ell
decided emphasis on the plural pro V.'l
noun "are correct. That fellow Brown V.'lw ;
is the forger ! " lif
"That fellow Brown is the forger ! " CO
Falkland's voice sounded miles and tn
miles away yet how the words rever tnmi
berated In Evelyn's ears with - what fu
clear "distinctness they seemed to ring al- [
through the silent air , toecho round
the dusky lawn ! A momcut before a
horrible fear had possessed her , a fear
which had sent all the blood cours
ing wildly through her veins ; and
then Oh , impossible ! Major Brown
a forger ! It was impossible ! Mr.
Falkland always had disliked him.
From the very first he had been
prejudiced about him , and had done
his utmost to make both Lady How
ard aud herself share in his suspic
ions.
It was too terrible ! In that one
moment it seemed as though she lived
through all the past fortnight again.
One after another the various events
of the well remembered days passed
in rapid succession through her mind ,
whilst above all , as a climax , a crown
ing point to the whole , a certain af
ternoon , scarcely thirty-six hours be
fore , stood out clear and defined from
the confusion of the various occur
rences. Every syllable which had been
spoken , every subject which had been
broached , came back to her as vividly
as though once more she was sitting
in the forsaken library , pen in hand ,
with Major Brown standing attentive
ly by her side.
Oh , why had she been so dense , so
blind as to see neither through his
evident manoeuvers nor the strange yet
palpable eagerness of his manner ? If
nothing else had roused her suspicions ,
she'ought at least to have realized
that Major Brown was not at all the
kind of man to waste his energies up
on a simple birthday book. A birthday
book ! How could she have allowed
herself to be so easily taken in ? She
had certainly expressed some astonish
ment upon the occasion she was un
doubtedly somewhat dubious at first
but how quickly he had overruled her !
Without appearing the least perturb
ed , he had explained away everything
yes , everything ! He had even been
able to find an excuse for the blankness -
ness of the pages , and she had act
ually believed him , had believed the
whole of his fabrications , though in
reality that horrible book had been
purchased simply as a means for secur
ing her signature !
"You hear what Mr. Falkland is
saying , Eve ? "
How far her thoughts had carried
her , or how long she had been standIng -
Ing with her hands clasped tightly to
gether , gazing out straight before her
it the shadows growing deeper and
leeper , Evelyn had no idea.
Did she hear what Mr. Falkland was
saying ? No , she had not heard a
word , and , what was more , she was
utterly indifferent as to what it might
be ; yet it was with a gesture sugges
tive rather of acquiescence that she
sal down on the low bamboo chair
and waited resignedly for anything
further that had to come.
"You see , Miss Luttrell" it was
Falkland himself who claimed her at
tention this time "we can do nothing
without the check ; we have no proofs
whatever as to the forgery. Brown is
safe as if he had never put pen to
paper at all. "
"Is he ? " observed Evelyn calmly.
His words seemed to imbue her with
a sense of strange undefinable relief.
"Ah , yes I suppose that would have
been the only evidence against him !
But of course it does not matter. It
is really not of much importance , " she
added in a voice particularly free from
any suspicion of regret.
"It does not matter ! Why , Miss
Luttrell , 1 have just been pointing out
to you the greatest importance of this
affair , and have been saying how eas
ily the whole thing can be managed !
But no time must be lost. You ought
to ask the Major for the check this
evening without fail. "

A DANGEEOTJSBEMEDY
TARIFF REPEAL "IN DEALING
WITH TRUSTS.
To'Itomovrt Protection Would Hither Ho
Ineffectual untl Worthless , or Kino It
Would Prove Uestructlvo to Our In
dustrial System.
, To the questions , Is the Customs
Tariff the mother of trusts , as was as
serted by Mr. Havemeyer ? and Would
the repeal of protective duties on arti
cles controlled by trusts render the
Bucce.'is of trusts impossible in this
country ? one of the most thoughtful
answers yet given by any of our pub
lic men is that of Representative
Tawney of Minnesota , which is printed
in the current issue of the American
Economist. Mr. Tawney , a conspicu
ous member of the house committee
on ways and means ; of which the late
Nelson Dingley was chairman , arid
which formulated and framed the
Dingley tariff law , is a man who
evidently thinks before .talking. In
this respect ho differs quite radically
from certain other Minnesota talkers
and writers , who are strenuous advo
cates of the repeal of protective duties
as a means of smashing the trusts. Ex-
statesmen who never had any reputa
tion for brains and editors more or
less influenced by commercial consid
erations take a flying jump and land
squarely upon the conclusion that by
the removal of protection the trust
problem is at once solved. To jump at
a conclusion is the easiest of all ways
out of a perplexing dilemma. It re
quires little thought and less knowl
edge.
But is the trust question so easily
settled as all this ? Representative
Tawney thinks it is not. Briefly stated ,
his presentment of the proposition is
this : The repeal of the protective tar
iff as a means of smashing the trusts
would be either absolutely worthless
or else absolutely destructive. If , as is
claimed by all free-traders , by all
mugwumps , and by a few wabbling
protectionists , the protective policy
has outlived its usefulness in the
United States , and is no longer neces
sary in order to enable our domestic
Industries to compete with foreign
production , then , as Mr. Tawney clear
ly points out , the repeal of protective
duties would accomplish nothing in re
straint or control of trusts. It would
be a worthless remedy , for the trusts
would continue the even tenor of their
way , just as though nothing had hap
pened.
If , on the contrary , protection is es
sential as a means of assuring the pos
session of the great home market to
the domestic producer , then the re
moval of protection would , while un
doubtedly smashing the trusts , at the
same time smash our vast industrial
system , and by so doing would drive
domestic production out of the field
and leave our consumers wholly at the
mercy of foreign trusts not amenable
to regulation and control through the
operation of our domestic laws.
Such is the alternative. Either pro
tection is or is not needed. Either the
trusts of the United States could get
along equally well without it , or else
its repeal would wreck the domestic
trusts and also wreck domestic in
dustries. This is a consummation
which might prove acceptable to free
traders and mugwumps ; but would
it prove acceptable to the country as
a whole ? Half-hearted protectionist
writers and ex-statesmen who think
they think would do well to follow
representative Tawney's example , and
give this question serious considera
tion before they become so cocksure of 1'
having solved the trust problem by the
abandonment of protection.
RETURN OF CONFIDENCE.
o
It On mo About Solely Through the Iles-
toration of the Policy oT 1'rotectlou.
Some people are foolish enough to
believe that the present happy condi
tion of affairs is attributable to the is
ist
restoration of financial confidence , but t
it requires no special acumen to dis tl
cover that this confidence rested on tl
tlh
he belief that protection would set h
he wheels of industry in motion. If is
he fact were otherwise it would long si
since have disappeared , for it must not
je forgotten that there has been no
nonetary legislation since the election
f President McKinley and that our
nonetary system remains practically
n the same state that it was when . .
Cleveland falsely held it responsible , ,
or the disasters which the carrying
ut of his un-American free-trade pol-
cy brought on the country. It is true „
here is a largely increased stock of i .
old in the United States , but no legis- J
ation touching the standard or man- j .
:
pulation by the treasury has brought i
ir
ibout that result. Protection did it by j
argely increasing the favorable trade j . " .
lalance. By diminishing our imports j
nd increasing our exports we have ac-
omplished what no legal regulation ,
f the standard could have accomI I „
lished. By sticking to protection we
ave kept out of , or at least lessened ,
ur indebtedness to foreigners , and
hus we have made it impossible for
uem to force us to yield up any more th
our gold than we find it profitable
convenient to part with. th
Protection is entitled to credit for tai
tiis result , but its enemies , under the an
uise of monetary reformers , are seek- j ru ;
ig to obscure the fact. They will not ' SDC
ucceed , however , because the Ameri-
an people are acute enough to discern Co >
tiese facts , which stand out plainly :
First. That in 1S92 , when protec-
on was in full blast , "the business of
ie country was in a provokingly th <
ealtliy condition. " th (
Second. That during the years J th <
hile free-trade was impending and in ; ity
rce , that is , between the fall of 1892 trj
cd 1896 , a disastrous depression set
and continued , during- which bankj j Po
ruptcy was rife and great numbers of
workinnmcn were deprived of employ
ment and with their families reduced
to want.
Third. That as soon as McKI'ilcy
and a Republican congress were elect
ed and a protective tariff was assured
business at once revived and the coun
try entered on a career of prosperity
that makes it the envy of the rest of
the world.
Cause and effect are so closely linked
in this matter it is Impossible to escape
the conclusion that protection and
free-trade are responsible for the re
sults described. They were the only
factors in the problem , and It will be
idle to seek to make it appear that the
trouble was due to the standard , or ap
prehension concerning the currency.
The attempt will be made , however ,
but there is every reason to hope that
the American people will not he led
astray , but will intelligently conclude
that the policy that brought prosperity
before 1S92 and restored it in 1897 is
good for the country and should be
permanently maintained. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Tim Dotlcfl Will Not Work.
Protection is a Republican policy.
The Democrats have formed the habit
of denouncing it , and they think they
must keep it up , with or without rea
son and sense. And so , with the splen
did record of protection staring them
in the face , and being unable to point
to a single fact that i.s not to its credit ,
they wildly re-echo Ilavemeyer's Hip-
pant utterance with some such scheme
as this in their heads : "The people like
the protective tariff ; let us try to
make them hale it by circulating the
absurd lie that it is the mother of
trusts. "
The hypocrisy of all this is quite as
comical as it is revolting. It shows
what a poverty-stricken old concern
the Democratic party is. Free silver is
dead. Flag hauling as an issue is worss
than no issue at all. Fantastic yarns
about trusts and the tariff are the only
remaining resort. The Democracy
grabs at this grotesque banner and
flourishes it frantically , hoping to rat
tle voters and muddle their thinking
apparatus. But the dodge will not
work. It is a confession of weakness
and a proclamation of stupidity. The
people see through the game and will
coldly keep out of it , preferring to re
tain their prosperity , their open work
shops , their 100-cent dollars , their ster
ling Americanism , and their respect for
the flag of their country. Freeport

American Industries and the American I
Standard of Wages nd tlvlnff.
Senator Hansbrough of North Da
kota hits the nail on the head when he
says : "Congress might revoke every
article and section of the' tariff law
carrying a protective duty , and it
would not make the slightest differ
ence with the so-called trusts. " The
proof of the truth of this statement
is found in the fact that free-trade
England also has formidable monopo
listic combinations. Minneapolis Trib
une.
Convincing as this fact may bo , It
is not the only proof of the aoumlnesB
of Senator Hansbrough's conviction re
garding the relation of trusts and the
tariff. Trusts In Great Britain do not
fear external competition so long as
they are able to control domestic com
petition. To control domestic compe
tition is much easier In a free-trade
country than in a country where pro
tection acts us a perpetual stimulus to
internal competition. Ii the truth were
known there are trusts in the United
States to-day that would welcome the
repeal of all protective duties as the
surest safeguard against the greatest
menace to their successful operation
the menace of new competitors. They
are not disturbed at the prospect of In
jurious foreign competition under free *
trade. Competition of that kind could
be easily met by reducing the cost of
production that is , by reducing
wages. Protection being abolished andv.
wages having been reduced , it would
be plain sailing for the trusts. No ;
the repeal of protective duties would
not smash the trusts. The things certain - ,
tain to be smashed in such a contin
gency would be the American standard
of wages and the American standard o/
living.

Bryan newspapers in out-of-the-way
places are copying the figures of a New
York paper showing that the increase
in the prices of fifty or sixty articles
since January 1 , 1897 , has been 28 per
cent. Thereupon a howl is set up
against the protective tariff and the
trusts. The greater part of the increase
is in iron goods , tin plates , etc. While
there is a tin plate trust , there is no
iron trust. The advance in tin plates
in the United States has been but half
is much as in Great Britain. Provi
sions , me"ats , and particularly beef , are
higher than a year ago , but the tariff
Iocs not affect the price of beef a par-
.icle , and there is no combination that
an be seen that can affect the prices
is a trust might. The growing scarcity
af cattle and the increased demand
ause the advance in prices , which be-
ins with those who raise cattle. Lum-
jer is much higher than two years ago.
nit there is no lumber trust , and the
ariff cannot materially affect the
rice , so that the increase mabe at-
ributed to the scarcity and the great-
y increased demand. In 1S96 Mr. Bry-
m and his satellites went up and down
he country declaring that so long as
he gold standard prevailed prices
vould decline , and there would be no
irofii in trade and no activity in pro-
luction and trade. The gold standard
irevailed , and now these same men
