CHAPTER XXII Continued
Julian stood like one thunderstruck
He raised his manacled hands to his
brow and tried to realize the force of
tho wonderful thing he had heard
Horam started to his feet and then
sank back and buried his face in his
hands His thoughts had suddenly
flown from tho story of the present
hour to that other story which he had
had heard on the night before and
the crash almost took away his senses
Omar when he saw how matters
stood felt called upon to speak for
he believed that he had discovered two
thngs First that his old friend and
brother was struggling to open his
breast to his child and second that
Julian might be brought to forgive
ness when he knew the whole truth
My friends he said rising to his
feet as he spoke the story is not yet
complete It remains for me to fin
ish It
Ben Hadad and Ezabel gazed eagerly
up into his face and Julian leaned
toward him with a beam of hope
struggling upon his brow
I am to blame in this matter or
at least I was the innocent cause
continued the King of Aleppo address
ing Ben Hadad and Ezabel It was
I who gave to Horam the evidence
upon which he condemned his wife I
supposed the guilt of the lady Helena
was positive as I had the Information
from officers who would not lie and
I felt it my duty to acquaint the hus
band with the circumstances On my
way back to my capital while stopping
in Balbec I gained information which
assured me that the Queen of Damas
cus was Innocent and immediately I
sent back two of my officers to con
vey intelligence thereof to Horam
But those messengers never reached
their destination They must have
been robbed and murdered on the way
I pursued my course homeward and
amid the duties of my realm the thing
passed from my mind Yesterday I
saw Horam for the first time in three-and-twenty
years and last evening I
revealed to him the fact that his first
and best beloved wife Helena was
wrongfully accused that she was pure
and true When this truth burst upon
him his grief overcame him and I
feared that the shock would kill him
Aye cried Horam starting up
again it did almost kill me for Hel
ena was my first love and her place
was never refilled 0 my brother
what can I do
Do what is right replied Omar
taking Horams outstretched hand
Be a man and let the heart assert its
sway Remember that you did the first
great deed of wrong and that all the
other evil has flowed out from that
one unfortunate act
The king of Damascus stood for a
moment with his head bowed upon
Omars shoulder and his hand still in
Omars grasp Then he started up
and his countenance had changed
By the blood of my heart he ex
claimed the wrong shall not grow
deeper against me What ho With
out there Slaves attend me
The executioners chanced to be
nearest and they answered the call
Bel Dara strike those irons from
that mans limbs Strike off every
bond and set him free If you harm
him as much as the prick of a rose
thorn your life shall answer for it
The executioner stopped to ask no
questions he did not even stop to
wonder at the order but he proceed
ed to the work and in a very few
minutes the prisoner was free
Then the king started down from
the throne and advanced to where
the freed man stood
My son he said extending both
his hands the truth has come so
naked and so plain that there is no
room for doubt and I now see that
you bear upon your face the features
of your noble mother God pardon me-
tor tne wrong i was iea to ao nerl
And my son here in the presence of
these witnesses I ask you to forget
the past I ask you to be my son
I ask you to let me be your father
and then O then Horam will be no
more childless
Julian had no power to resist the
appeal and as the old king tottered
forward the son supported him upon
his bosom and sustained him in the
embrace of his stout arms
And yet Julian was not content His
face wore still a cloud and there was
trouble in his heart
What could it mean Horam feared
that his son could not quite love Jiim
Omar saw the trouble and divined
its cause and stepping quickly for
ward he whispered into the ear of his
brother Horam caught at the words
and the star of hope beamed again He
clapped his hands and cried out
What ho Without Where -is
Benoni
The captain came
Benoni bring the lady Ulin
Pale and trembling the princess en
tered the chamber but when she saw
Julian alive and free with the shack
les broken at his feet the blood leaped
again through her veins But she had
not much opportunity for thought for
the king quickly advanced and took
her hand and led her to Julian
My son this do I give thee in token
of my sincerity Now wilt thou own
me for thy father and forget all of
the past save that which tells that we
re of one flesh Take this fair hand
and with it my forgiveness to you
both my forgiveness to all who have
befriended you Take It my son and

realm he shall see Horams own son
sitting upon the throne of Damascus
while Horam himself withdraws from
the world that his last days may be
spent in quiet repose
No longer rested the cloud upon Ju
lians brow He caught the small
white hand which had been placed
within his grasp and sank down upon
his knees sank down he and Ulin
one in love forevermore and bowed
before tho king
My father I accept the blessing I
am thy son

I The Blind Bride
By Amy Randolph
GXsXX5
Bentley Grange was a pretty place at
all times of the year but loveliest of
all when the reapers were at work in
the harvest fields and the yellow light
of the October sun turned the wood
land paths to enchanted aisles A
long low structure of warmly tinted
red brick with mullioned windows
velvet smooth sweeps of lawn and box
borders which stood up like walls of
solid emerald on each side of the path
it had a savor of the antique about it
which one seldom sees in an American
house
And old Brande Bentley walking up
and down in the mellow sunshine be
tween the walls of black green box
with his eyes bent on the ground and
his hands clasped behind his back
corresponded well with the Grange
Suddenly a cheerful footstep rang on
the stone terrace steps the sound of a
clear flute like whistle rose above the
click of the distant mowing machine
and Harry Wade the old mans neph
ew stood like an incarnation of youth
and sunshine before him
Uncle he cried merrily youve
got the prettiest place in the world
here
Mr Bentley took out his big old
fashioned silver watch
Two oclock said he and the
bank dont close until four Humph J
It appears to me young man that you
dont stick very close to business
hours
Like a limpet uncle said Harry
and just for today Will Caryl has
come to act as a substitute for I real
ly wanted to see you uncle
Humph again commented Mr
Bentley Youre very fond of me
just of late
Im always fond of you Uncle
Brande said Harry gravely but Ive
something to tell you
Some scrape youve got into said
Mr Bentley
Nothing of the sort sir
Want to borrow money perhaps
Upon my word no
Youve fallen in love with some
girl then
You are right this time uncle
said Harry laughing and coloring
and of course I have come directly
to you to tell you of my good fortune
It is little Bessie Bird
A milliners apprentice snarled
the old bachelor
If she chooses to help her mother
along Dy trimming hats in her aunts
millinery rooms I sea nothing derog
atory in that said Harry valiantly
A mere child of seventeen
But I dont want an old lady of
forty seven
Humph growled Mr Bentley
What do either of you know of life
Not much to be sure uncle as yet
admitted the young lover but we
think we can easily learn together
And where do you think the nap
kins and tablecloths and bread and
butter and rent and water taxes are
to come from sardonically inquired
Brande Bentley
I have my salary Uncle Brande
said Harry and Bessie has been edu
cated to be very economical
Ill have nothing to say to such
nonsense said Mr Bentley
But Uncle Brande all we want
is
Nothing I say absolutely noth
ing thundered the old man Its
folly trash sentimental tomfoolery
If you want my opinion there it Is
Time enough for you to think of mat
rimony when you are thirty There
ought to be a law to prevent young
people making fools of themselves
And Brande Bentley turned on his
heel and strode back into the house
So that Harry had no very inspir
iting news for Bessie Bird when he met
her as usual on the corner of Broad
way to walk home with her through
the pleasant autumn twilight
Was he very cross said Bessie
who was a whitc kitteny sort of a girl
with fluffy yellow hair dimples in her
cheeks and eyes the exact color of tie
flowing blue china on our grand
mothers shelves
As savage as Bluebeard
Did he scold dreadfully asked
Bessie
Told me I was a fool
But if he wont consent
Then we must manage to get along
without his consent said Harry Be
cause you know Bessie I do love you
so very dearly and you like me a lit
tie dont you
But your mother has always count
ed upon your being his heir said Bes
sie And to lose all that money
just
Just for love and you archly in
terrupted Harry Darling there is
nothing in all the world half so sweet
to me or that I court half so ardently
as my little Bessie so let there be no
further argument about it These jolly
old coves down at the bank are going
to raise ray salary fifty dollars at
Christmas and so if you can get- your
frock made well be married then And
set Uncle Brande and the world at de
fiance eh
The first November snowstorm was
drifting Its white flashes through the
air when a visitor was shown into
Brande Bentleys snug parlor
Eh said he a stranger Jones I
never see strangers
But you will see me said a soft
voice and a slender golden haired
girl stood before him neatly yet plain
ly dressed her black cloak powdered
over with snow and a spectacled old
lady by her side I am Bessie Bird
and this is my aunt Miss Belton the
milliner
Miss Belton courtesied Mr Bentley
stared
I suppose you have come here to
speak to me about my nephew
Yes sir said Bessie
It will be of no use said he curtly
My opinions on the subject of his
marriage remain unchanged
But mine do not said Bessie
Please to hear me through Mr Bent
ley I have written him a letter to give
him up this morning And I came to
tell of It now so that you will feel
kindly towards him once more I have
told him we never could be married
Youre a sensible girl said Mr
Bentley smiting his hand on the table
And I have sent him back the little
garnet engagement ring that he gave
me added Bessie with a sob in her
throat
Better and better said Uncle
Brande exultantly
Not bravely added Bessie be
cause I dont love him as dearly and
truly as I ever did But because I see
now how wrong it would be for me to
fetter his whole life For She
stopped an instant and a slight shud
der ran through her frame I may as
well tell you all Mr Bentley I am
going blind
Blind echoed the old man
Blind repeated Bessie gently but
firmly I have had such strange blurs
and darknesses come across my vision
of late and went to a doctor And the
doctor told me as kindly as he could
that these are but the precursors of
total blindness So of course all is at
an end between Harry and me Will
you please tell him this I have re
ferred him to you for all particulars
I will said the old man huskily
Harry Wade came to his uncle that
very morning in great perturbation
What does this mean sir said he
Have you been endeavoring to per
suade her to throw me over
No boy no said the old man and
he told him all
I am bound to say that the girl has
behaved very well said he Shall you
give her up
No Never shouted Harry with
pale face and tightly clenched hand
Never If she was dear to me before
she shall be doubly treasured and sa
cred now my little smitten lamb my
drooping white lily bud I will never
give her up while we both live
The old mans eyes glittered a faint
color had risen into his withered
cheeks as he rose and grasped both
his nephews hands as in a vise
Youre a trump Harry Wade said
he I respect you more at this min
ute than ever before Give her up in
deed If you gave up that little jewel
of a girl you would give up the beacon
star of your existence She is a pearl
of price Harry a true and noble wom
an who wouldnt have hesitated to
sacrifice herself for your benefit Marry
her tomorrow if you will and bring her
right here to Bentley Grange It shall
be her home and yours henceforward
And in this strange and sudden way
old Brande Bentley relented and took
his niece-in-law-elect into his heart
Bessie in all the flush of her rose bud
beauty could never have melted his
heart but Bessie stricken down by God
became sacred and precious in his
sight
NEW ENGLAND CONSCIENCE
The Scrapie That Prevented a Yovng
Widows Remarriage
Said a drummer visitor Miss M E
Boyd to a young widow a seam
stressin a New Hampshire hill town
one day last summer You must be
lonely here now since your husband
died Perhaps you will feel like mar
rying again you are not so very old
Oh Miss Mary she answered in a
voice full of feeling If I only could
if I only dared And then came the
simple story and a touching example
of the New England conscience
She had loved in early youth a young
man whom her mother disapproved as
a suitor He was a joiner by trade
and worthy but the mother having
higher ambitions separated the cou
ple The girl married a quiet man
her senior who died a few years later
Then after a decent interval the old
lover who had thriven in business
asked her again to become his wife
That seemed a beautiful and natural
ending of the story But no Ah
cried the poor thing If I had loved
my husband I could go to James with
a happy heart oh how happy But
although things were pleasant enough
between my husband and me I always
felt the difference and at heart I was
unfaithful to him I think this is
meant for my punishment for think
ing of James while I had a husband
living We can never marry Buf

Their Attack on Gov Dietrich for HiB
Exercise of the Veto
GUARDING THE STATES f INANCES
Nebraska Now Enjoying a Strictly Bail
11098 Administration Gross Misman
agement of State Institutions Under
Oemo JPopocratlc Rule
The fusionist3 were so reckless in
their expenditures of the public funds
during their incumbency that even
the popocratic editors in a moment
of absent mindedness forgot their
lines in economics and advocated the
outlay of money and additional tax
burdens upon the people without any
thought of the justice or consequences
thereof An illustration of this is
found in the attack on Governor
Dietrich for his veto of the 90500 ap
propriation for sundry purposes in con
nection with the university The pop
ocratic editors have the boldness to
state that the veto of this large sum
was inspired by hostility to this well
known educational Institution A
more irrational deduction could not
be drawn nor a more silly falsehood
uttered In vetoing this appropriation
as shown by the public records Gov
ernor Dietrich simply saw that if this
amount was allowed to stand the total
appropriation would exceed the pro
ceeds from the one mill levy and re
sult in a corresponding increase in the
floating indebtedness
Whether designedly or not the items
were all included in one sum total so
that Governor Dietrich was required
either to veto or approve the section
in its entirety it beng impossible to
eliminate any particular or individual
item Before passing upon it he sum
moned Chancellor Andrews who in
turn summoned Secretary Dale of the
Board of Regents and requested that
the appropriation bill be gone over
and such items as would least inter
fere with the least successful manage
ment of the school be pointed out
Both Secretary Dale and Chancellor
Andrews admitted that the section ap
propriating 90500 was of less utility
and could be vetoed and cause less in
terference with plans than any other
portion of the bill More than this
Secretary Dale in the presence of
Chancellor Andrews after looking over
the section then to be and afterwards
vetoed admitted that of the 90500
there really was but 16000 of it for
repairs and improvements really need
ed In other words that the univer
sity could get along all right and be
in no way incumbent through lack of
funds if the improvements requiring
an appropriation of 16000 were pro
vided for On this showing Governor
Dietrich believing that it was better
business methods to use the states
credit to the extent of 16000 than to
add an additional tax burden upon
the people of 90500 which also
meant a corresponding increase in the
floating indebtedness of the state ve
toed that seciion The result is that
the university is apaprently getting
along just as well as if it had the
money and the taxpayers of Nebraska
have been saved a large sum of money
In regard to the statement that has
been made by one of the popocratic
editors that this was done in order
that the state treasurer might have
more funds to invest for his own profit
it is sufficient to say that this dense
ignorance of the finances of the uni
versity is exploded by the fact that
there are and for several years have
been warrants outstanding against
these funds At present there are ap
proximately 55000 university war
rants outstanding and this coupled
with the fact that the prevailing rate
of expenses exceeds the one mill levy
thoroughly explodes the charge that
the state treasurer would or could in
any way benefit by such a veto
Another thing which prompted Gov
ernor Dietrich to veto the 590500 ap
propriation was that the fusion admin
istration had not alone squandered all
the money in the treasury but had run
the state in debt and left unpaid bills
amounting to more than 150000 The
reckless extravagance of the Poynter
administration enjoined the strictest
economy upon the republicans in or
der to avoid an increase in the war
rant indebtedness of the state of suf
ficient proportions to impair its credit
Governor Dietrich vacated the exec
utive chair before he had much of an
opportunity to install his policy of re
trenchment but his successor Gover
nor Savage has maintained the
strictest economy with the result that
for the firstime in many years the
state of Nebraska is enjoying a strict
ly business administration The peo
ple of Nebraska are paying less for
their administration - of government
and their public interests and insti
tutions are beng better cared for than
for many years Governor Savage has
proven hmself to be a man of keen
judgment and splendid business ideas
and his administration promises to
be popular with the people on account
of rugged honesty strict economy and
rare circumspection
Soldiers and Sailors Home at Grand
Island
The Soldiers Home at Grand Island
has been grossly mismanaged in every
department Particularly is the charge
of mismanagement true in connection
with the medical department It has
never required more than 50000 per
year for medical and surgical supplies
at the home though Dr Swigart until
recently physician at the home
IVhen TraCIc in Horse Meat Regan
Nearly half a century ago the ex
periment of putting horse meat on the
market was made for the first time
in Austria A government decree- of
April 20 1854 gave legal permission
to cut up and sell horse meat as an
article of food During the rest of
that year and in 1855 943 horses were
slaughtered for food in Vienna the
number rose in 1899 the last year for
which statistics are obtained to 25640
head
You can often help a nervous head
ache by combing the hair gently
dored a 150000 drug fund In ten
months and that too in the face of
tho fact that his predecessor Dr Sad
ler turned over a large supply of
drugs to him upon his retirement In
quiry brought to light the fact that
the state has paid for drugs never de
livered It is a significant fact that
while more than 40 per cent of the
drugs used at the homo were by rea
son of friction between the physician
In charge and the Inmates purchased
by the inmates out of their private
funds the expense of maintaining the
drug department to the 3tate increased
more than three hundred per cent
Other physicians were for some rea
son or other summoned to the home
to perform services for which Dr Swi
gart was paid by the state and in
stead of their fees being deducted
from Dr Swigarts salary the bills
were presented to Dr Swlgart he pre
sented them to the drug firm which
had the contract the latter paid the
money to Dr Swlgart and sent in
vouchers to tne state for drugs Posi
tive proof is In existence that Dr Swl
gart sold liquor that was bought and
paid for by the state funds to Inmates
and appropriated tho proceeds to his
own use The records will show that
this institution consumed more liquor
than nearly all of the other institu
tions of the state It Is openly charged
that the attending physician Indulged
to excess in the use of Intoxicating
beverages and that on more than one
occasion he was incapacitated for duty
by reason of inebriety
Tho commandant physician adju
tant and other officials at the home
maintained their relatives there at the
states expense
The public records show that Com
mandant Beltzer drew upon numerous
funds for his own benefit and had all
the printing for the Institution done
in the newspaper owned and managed
by his son and charged the state for
nursery stock and ornamental trees
from his own nursery Excessive prices
were charged and paid for both the
printing and the trees
There is a gross irregularity appar
ent at this institution in connection
with the construction of a public
building thereat The contract was
awarded to an irresponsible bidder
who failed to comply with its pro
visions and the building was com
pleted at the expense of the bonds
men An architect was employed at
tne rate of 500 per day and paid out
of the regular appropriation fund to
superintend the construction when as
a matter of fact he had practically no
experience in this class of work Very
inferior material was- used in the con
struction in this building and in few
respects were the plans and specifica
tions complied with
Hospital for Insane at Norfolk
The very large quantity of coal con
sumed at the hospital for the Insane
at Norfolk has led to many sensational
reports though I know of nothing
more than that the vouchers in the
auditors office show that a great deal
of coal is required at this institu
tion There are other indications that
there has been more or less juggling
of contracts for supplies in the in
terests of friends at the institution
and in the state house Particularly is
this true in the award of the contract
for drugs Favoritism has been ex
ercised in the award of the drug con
tracts and in the purchase of extras
from the drug fund Investigation re
veals the fact that it is the custom
at this as well as at nearly all other
institutions to misappropriate speci
fically appropriated funds
During the recent administration
the mother and sister of the superin
tendent and the four children of the
steward were kept at i e institution
at the states expense
-
State Normal at Peru
Until recently if it is not true today
three rooms in one of the public build
ings owned by the state in connection
with the Normal school were occupied
by a private fusion newspaper print
ing office This concern paid no rent
and in addition paid nothing for its
light water and heat It occupied these
quarters for upward of two years
having a monopoly of the job printing
of the institution for which it
charged excessive prices There is
evidence that at this institution radi
cal and unwarranted changes have
been made in the text books evidently
for no other purpose than profit and
to the great detriment and inconven
ience of the student It is due the
present incumbent of the presidency to
say that the reports of jugglery of text
books originated during the adminis
tration of his predecessor
Fish Hatchery at South Bend
The Fish Hatchery at South Bend
is in a deplorable condition About
eighteen months ago an Omaha sa
loon keeper named Sloup was appoint
ed superintendent of the hatchery He
was utterly without experience knew
nothing as to the manner in which
fish should be propagated and the re
sult is that for the many thousands of
dollars expended by the statee in the
development of this industry there is
nothing left but evidences of ruin and
desolation It will require much
money time and care to restore this
enterprise to its former condition
Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City
The taxpayers of the state have been
grossly imposed upon at the Instute
for the Blind Ine superintendent
contrary to all precedent refused to
teach any of the branches upon the
ground that he was incapacitated by
reason of old age At tne close of the
first semester last year which is the
last official report available there
were upwards of seventy five inmates
and fifty one people on the pay roll

Your feet are always in the water but
