A LOVE STORY BY AMElilA E BARR
Copyrlcht 1900 by Amelia E Barr
CHAPTER IV Continued
My dear dear grandfather you
carry wisdom with you Oh wise
wise grandfather You have made
me happy to a degree
Very well hut say not that I
jave vou such counsel When your
l fnilinM nm inlr 41 w n no 1 in 1c rnrfrnln
Lvlto do then I will say such and such
mouth will bo a great offence and
fcV S verv liistlv sn for it is hard to carry
words and carry nothing else Your
dear mother how Is she
Well and happy But my father is
not so happy I can see that he is
wearied of everything
Not here Is his heart It is in
England If of Liberty I now speak
to him he has a smile so hopeless
that both sad and angry it makes me
No faith has he left in any man ex-
Washington and I think also he
Is disappointed that Washington was
not crowned King George the First
At this point in the conversation
Van Heemskirk was called to the door
about some business matter and
George wap left alone with his grand
mother ae put the cups quickly
down and going to Georges side
said
Cornelia Moran spends this even
ing with her friend Arenta Van Ariens
Well then would thou like an excuse
to call on Arenta
Oh grandmother Do you Indeed
know Arenta Can you send me
there
Since she was one month old I have
known Arenta This morning she
came here to borrow for her Aunt
Jacobus my ivory winders For thy
pleasure I will get them and thou canst
take them this evening to Arenta
O you dear dear grandmother
and he stood up and lifted her rosy
face between his hands and kissed
lier
Get me the winders grandmother
for now you have given me a reason
to hurry
Then she went into the best parlor
and opening one of the shutters let in
sufficient light to find in the drawer
of a little Chinese cabinet some ivory
winders of very curious design and
workmanship She folded them in soft
tissue paper and handed them to her
grandson with a pleasant nod and the
young man slipped them into his
pocket and then went hurriedly away
Doubting and hoping he reached
the Van Ariens house soon after seven
oclock It was not quite dark and
Jacob Van Ariens stood on the stoop
j smoking his pipe
Good evening sir said George
with smiling politeness Is Miss Van
Ariens within
Within Yes But company she
t w has to night said the watchful
gther as he stood suspicious and
i lovable in the entrance
t I have come with a message to
Miss Van Ariens
A very fine messenger answered
Van Ariens slightly smiling
A fine lady deserves a fine messen
ger But sir if you will do my er
rand for me I am content I have
brought from Madame Van Heemskirk
some ivory winders for Madame Ja
cobus
Come in come in and tell my
Arenta the message thyself Welcome
art thou and Van Ariens himself
opened the parlor door saying
Arenta here is George Hyde A
message he brings for thy Aunt An
gelica
And while these words were be
ing uttered George delighted his eyes
with the vision of Cornelia who sat
at a small table with some needlework
I have come with a message
in her hand Arentas tatting was over
her foot and she had to remove it in
order to rise and meet Hyde Hem
sat idly fingering a pack of playing
cards and talking to Cornelia
In a few moments Arentas pretty
enthusiasms and welcomes dissipated
all constraints and Hyde placed his
chair among the happy group and fell
easily into his most charming mood
They sang they played they had a
game at whist and everything that
happened was in some subtle secret
vsray a vehicle for Hydes love to ex
press itself
About half past nine a negro came
with Cornelias cloak and hood George
folded the warm circular round Cor
nelias slight figure and then watched
her tie her pretty pink hood managing
amid the pleasant stir of leave taking
to whisper some words that sang all
night like sweetest music in her heart
At the leave taking ho heard a few
words which gave him a delightful
assurance of coming satisfaction For
as the two girls stood in the hall
Arenta said
You will come over in the morn
ing Cornelia
I cannot answered Cornelia
After breakfast I have to go to Rich
mond Hill with a message from my
mother to Mrs Adams
And George hearing these words
could hardly control his delight For
he was one of Mrs Adams favorites
and so much at home in her house
that he could visit her at any hour of
the day without a ceremonious invita
tion
He took a merry leave of Arenta
and went directly to his rooms Tis
my destiny Tis my happy destiny
to love her he said softly to himself
I shall tell Mrs Adams how far gone
in love I am he continued I shall
say to her Help me madame to an
opportunity and I think she will not
refuse As for my father I heard
him this morning with as much pa
tience as any Christian could do but
I am resolved to marry Cornelia I
will not give her up not for an earl
dom Not for a dukedom Not for
the crown of England
Joris Hyde allowed the sweet emo
tions Cornelia had inspired to have
and to hold and to occupy his whole
being Sleep was a thousand leagues
away and he flung open the casement
and sat in a beatitude of blissful
hopes and imaginations
And after midnight when dreams
fall the moon came up over Nassau
and Cedar streets and threw poetic
glamors over the antique churches and
grassy graveyards and the pretty
houses covered with vines and
budding rosebushes and this soft
shadow of light calmed and charmed
him
It is a sign to me It is a sign
So will I put away every baffling hin
drance between Cornelia and myself
Barriers will only be as those vapor
ous clouds I shall part them with
my strong resolves I shall I shall
I and he fell asleep with this sense
of victory thrilling his whole being
CHAPTER V
Turning Over a New Leaf
When Hyde awakened he was in
that borderland between dreams and
day which we call dawn The noises
finally woke him thoroughly I am
more alive than ever I was in my life
he said and he laughed gayly and-
went to the window It is a lovely
day and that is so much in my
favor he added for if it were rain
ing Cornelia would not leave the
house
Then he fell into reverie about his
proposed visit to Mrs Adams Last
night it appeared to him an easy and
natural thing to do He was not
so sure of his position this morning
Eut there are times when laissez
aller carries before it and Hyde was
in just such a mood Ill run the
chance he said Ill risk it Ill
let things take their course And
after all when a man is in love to be
reasonable is often to be cowardly
When he was dressed he went to
his hotel and breakfasted there
Early as it was there were many
members and senators present eat
ing drinking coffee and disputing
Hyde took no notice of any of these
disputes until a man evidently an
Englishman called Franklin a beggar-on-horseback-Yankee
Then he
looked steadily at the speaker say
ing with the utmost coolness and
firmness
You are mistaken sir The beg-gar-on-horseback
is generally suppos
ed to ride to the devil Franklin
rode to the highest posts of political
honor and the esteem and affection of
worthy men in all the civilized
world
With these words he rose pushed
aside his chair with a little temper
and turning met Jefferson face to
face The great man smiled and put
his hand affectionately on Hydes
shoulder
You spoke well my young friend
Now I will give you a piece of advice
when any one abuses a great man
in your presence ask them what
kind of people they admire You will
certainly be consoled
Hyde casting his eyes a moment
on this tall loose limbed man whose
cold blue eyes and red hair empha
sized the stern anger of his whole
appearance was well disposed to
leave the scurrilous Englishman to
his power of reproof
Riding hard it was quite half past
nine when he drew rein at the door
of Richmond Hill Thus far he had
suffered himself to be carried for
ward by the impulse of his heart
and he still put firmly down any won
der as to what he should say or do
He was shown into a bright little
parlor with open windows A table
elegantly and plentifully spread oc
cupied the center of the room and
sitting as it were the vice president
and Mrs Adams and also their only
daughter the beautiful but not very
intellectual Mrs Smith Mrs Adams
met him with genuine though for
mal kindness Mrs Smith with court
esy and the vice president rose
bowed handsomely hoped he was
well and then after a minutes re
flection said
We were talking about the offi
cial title proper for Gen Washington
What do you think Lieutenant Or
have you heard Gen Hyde express
any opinion on the subject
Sir I do not presume to under
stand the ceremonials of government
My father Is of the opinion that The
President of the United States has a
Roman and republican simplicity and
that any addition to it would be de
rogatory and childish
My dear young man the eyes of
the world are upon us To give a
title to our leaders and rulers belongs
fto history In the Roman republic
great conquerors assumed even dis
tinctive titles as well as national
ones
Then our Washington is superior
to them
Chief Justice McKean thinks His
Serene Highness the President of the
United States is very suitable Roger
Sherman is of the opinion that
neither His Highness nor His Ex
cellency are novel and dignified
enough and Gen Muhlenberg says
Washington himself is in favor of
High Mightiness the title used by
the Stadtholder of Holland
And how will you vote John
asked Mrs Adams
In favor of a title Certainly I
IJLIIJJ
He flung open the casement
shall Your Majesty is a very good
prefix It would draw the attention
of England and show her that we
were not afraid to assume the majes
ty of our conquest
And if you were to please France
continued Mrs Adams which
seems the thing in fashion you
might have the prefix Citizen Citi
zen Washington is not bad
It is execrable Mrs Adams and
I am ashamed that you should make
it even as a pleasantry
Indeed my friend there is no fore
telling what may be And after all
I do believe that the President re
gards his citizenship far above his
office What say you Lieutenant
I think madame that fifty one
hundred one thousand years after
this day it will be of little import
ance what prefix is put before the
name of the President He will be
simply George Washington in every
heart and on every page
That is true said Mrs Adams
Fame uses no prefixes It is Pom
pey Julius Caesar Pericles Alfred
Hampden Oliver Cromwell
Washington will do for love and
for fame continued Hyde The next
generation may say Mr Madison or
Mr Monroe or Mr Jay but they will
want neither prefix nor suffix to
Washington Jefferson Franklin
and if you permit me sir Adams
The Vice President was much
pleased He said Pooh Pooh and
stood up and stepped loftily across
the hearth rug but the subtle compli
ment went warm to his heart
Well well he answered heart
ily and from our souls we must do
our best and then trust to Truth and
Time our name and our memory
But I must now go to town our af
fairs give us no holidays
To be continued
BRAVERY AND TRUE COURAGE
Japanese Sure He Would Be Killed
But Didnt Mind
The little lieutenant who lived just
across the street from 0 K Davis the
New York Suns war correspondent in
Tientsin said to him one day
I should be very happy to have you
visit me in my home in Japan after
tnis war is over but I expect to be
killed
He was perfectly sincere and unaf
fected His belief did not alter his at
tention to duty in the slightest He
went wherever he was ordered as gay
ly as if it were to a feast no matter
if the field was swept with bullets
When I saw him in Peking a day or
so after the legations had been re
lieved he said simply Perhaps I
shall not be killed this time after all
Would you call it courage when
such a man as that leads a little col
umn against a stone wall and when
he cant get over at first sits down
and waits until he can He hasnt
any conception of courage He is
brave but with the bravery of a bull
dog
There is more real courage in the
old hen fluttering over her little chick
ens to protect them from the threat
ening hawk If it were not for them
she would flee fast enough from the
danger
There you have the essential differ
ence between courage and bravery
and between the American soldier and
the Japanese or Russian The Orien
tals counting the Russian as an Ori
ental are dangerous men to meet be
cause they have no care for the result
How much more dangerous is the
man who sees through to the end and
discounts it all yet goes ahead to the
desperate finish Everybodys Maga
zine
INTERESTS CONFLICT
WHAT THE EAST WANTS THE
WEST DOES NOT
New England Asks Free Trade for
Coal and Protection for Codfish
While the Far West Objects to the
Arrangement as Unjust
The Boston Herald which has
always been more or less devoted to
the free trade Idea lias published re
cently several lengthy articles favor
ing the removal of all duties upon
coal either by direct legislation or
through the negotiation of a reciproc
ity treaty with Canada The point of
thl3 is that Massachusetts does not
produce coal and it is believed that
If there were free entry of Nova
Scotia coal in the mining of which
New England capital is largely inter
ested Massachusetts would profit in
two ways by cheaper coal in her
markets and by larger profits for the
capital invested in mining in a for
eign country As a sample of the
statements by which the Herald
backs up its arguments take the fol
lowing The natural coal supply
of the Pacific coast has thus far been
the coal mines of British Columbia
The natural coal supply of the Pa
cific coast is and has been the coal
mines of the State of Washington
mines which at this time employ
5000 men and the product of which
reaches annually 2690789 tons val
ued at 530085422 It is this indus
try of the State of Washington which
Massachusetts is prepared cheerfully
to sacrifice in order to secure some
slight local advantages
For the purpose of making an argu
ment which Massachusetts can under
stand the coal mining industry can
be compared with the cod fishing in
dustry of Massachusetts There are
more men employed in the coal mines
of Washington than in the cod fisher
ies of Massachusetts and the value
of their product is greater Canada
is more the natural source of supply
of cod fish on jhe Atlantic than of
coal on the Pacific The admission of
coal free of duty would be far more
detrimental to the interests of the
State of Washington than the free
admission of cod fish would be to the
interests of the State of Massachu
setts The admission of either
would be to the advantage of Canada
Of the two Canada would be willing
to make far greater concessions to
secure the free entry of her cod fish
eries products into the United States
than to secure the free entry of coal
If the interests of consumers in the
United States are to govern free cod
fish would be of infinitely greater
value and to a vastly greater number
of consumers scattered over a much
wider scope of territory than would
free coal
Here is the situation then There
is a protected New England industry
of not so much commercial value as
the coal industry of the State of
Washington employing fewer people
and distributing less wages the pro
tection of which tends to exclude
from the markets of the United
States a Canadian food product
which is a common article of diet in
the homes of the working people of
the United States from one end of
the continent to the other There
is more valuable protected industry
in the relatively small and poor State
of Washington the protection upon
which operates merely to secure to
the people of Washington a relatively
small local market and leaves un
affected the great mass of the people
of the country Canada is prepared
to make far greater concessions to
secure the withdrawal of protection
from the New England Industry than
it would make to have protection
withdrawn from the Washington in
dustry and far more American con
sumers would profit by free cod fish
than by free coal Massachusetts
wants reciprocity with Canada to en
large her trade opportunities in the
Dominion Washington cares nothing
for such reciprocity
Under these circumstances the
honest the decent and the fair thing
to do would be for Massachusetts
herself to pay the price of the reci
procity which she demands and
which would be largely for her bene
fit not to attempt to throw the cost
upon a state which has less to offer
to Canada which does not desire
reciprocity and which would secure
no trade advantages through it but
rather nothing but injury
Massachusetts has raised the cry
of free coal Washington counters
with the demand for free cod fish
If the Boston Herald and the Massa
chusetts sentiment which it repre
sents are honeest and sincere in their
convictions of the advisability of reci
procity arrangements with Canada
they should be prepared to sacrifice
local interests to it and not cross
the continent for the purpose of
throwing the whole burden upon the
State of Washington as they are
desirous of doing Seattle Post
Intelligencer
Legislating by Treaty
Reports from Washington indicate
that the Cuban reciprocity treaty
will be rejected if brought to a vote
in the Senate Republican senators
with beet sugar constituencies have
served notice on the administration
leaders that they will be forced to
oppose ratification of the treaty As
it requires a two thirds vote of the
Senate to secure ratification of a
treaty there is little likelihood of its
being approved
It is singular that the administra
tion should have undertaken to
secure our plain duty to Cuba by
treaty At the last session of Con
gress a bill to reduce the duty on
-
749Pstssfvr9mKefsajm
Cuban products passed the House of
Ropresentatives and was defeatod In
the Senate Obviously if a bill coald
not bo passed it is little less than
folly to expect a treaty proposing to
accomplish the same ends to be rati
fied
TEero Is opposition by Democratic
Senators to tho treaty on the ground
that It involves an unconstitutional
method for reducing tho tariff The
constitution contemplates that all
revenue measures shall originate In
the House of Representatives and be
acted upon by both branches of Con
gress The reciprocity method of
reducing duties eliminates the House
of Representatives the only really
representative branch of the Federal
government and places the power in
tho hands of the executive and the
Senate
The objection is well taken Tar
iff legislation by treaty is repugnant
to our scheme of government and an
obnoxious and unwarranted use of
the treaty making power Milwaukeo

TRADE OF 1902
Marked Gain In the Volume of Ex
ports and Imports
The table of imports and exports
of tho United States for the twelve
months ending with January 1903
shows an unusual fluctuation in ex
ports because of crop shortage and
consequent increased prices of food
stuffs and it also shows a steady In
crease in importations from the low
point of 68350459 in February 1902
to the high point of 94356987 in
December 1902 The exports also
show a marked increase from the
midsummer minimum of 88240483
in July to 148012403 in December
In spite of smaller exports owing to
exceptional conditions and in spite
of the largest imports for any year
in the history of our commerce the
figures show a comfortable trade bal
ance in favor of the United States
amounting to close upon 400000000
If the advocates of potential compe
tition through the larger admission
of competitive products from abroad
liad had their way i is certain that
the Trade balance for 1902 would
have been very much smaller

total imports and exports of the
United States in each of the twelve
months ending with January 1903

A Coincidence
We note with some concern that
Gov Cummins perhaps because of a
bad throat toothache or other form
of indisposition has not found it
convenient to accept any invitations
to speak at agricultural gatherings i
the past few months Not long ap
his name was mentioned among thcsS
invited to address the national con
vention of live stock growers at
Kansas City He did not appear at
that convention He has not talked
to farmers for some time One would
think that so strenuous a tariff re
former as the governor is would with
avidity improve opportunities to
spread the Iowa idea of potential
competition as a price cutter among
agricultural communities He has
found it possible on numerous occa
sions to talk reciprocity tariff revis
ion and trust busting at gatherings of
manufacturers but his throat or
something seems to go wrong when
ever it comes to presenting his views
before gatherings of people who make
their living out of the soil Farmers
are such sound protectionists that it
seems strange to find Gov Cummins
so reluctant to propagate the Iowa
idea among them
The Only Hope
The only hope for a campaign issue
for the Democrats lies in the question
of tariff revision Being a free
trade party thy will be obliged to
greatly revise their tariff policies for
they will certainly not find free trade
or tariff for revenue only a winning
card with the businesss community
or even the producers They have
tried that policy once before and its
adoption brought universal ruin and
bankruptcy Dayton Fla Journal
Dying Away
The Western demand for tariff re
vision is dying away as time goes on
and the present tariff continues to
prove its merits Waterloo 111 Re
