THK Wilson bill proposes to tax investments in building associations. This was stricken out of the Senate bill. Do the howlers of the Wilson bill know what they are howling for when they demand that the savings of the poor man shall be thus taxed? And Congressman Brookshire voted for the Wilson bill with this iniquitous feature.

THE Terre Haute Mail, a non-polit-ical paper, has this to say of the approaching Republican Congressional convention^ and the probable nominee:

The Republican congressional situation has been much clarified this week. The only candidates who are causing discussion are Hon. George W. Faris and Col. Thomas H. Nelson, of this county, and ex-Congressman Johnston, of Rockville. Vigo county politicians of the Republican stripe seem to be united on one thing, and that is, that the man who shows the most strength in Vigo's delegation should be presented as the only candidate from this county. To a man:up a tree, George W. Faris seems to have the best of the race. His backers axe workers, and they are not making a bit of noise. The convention will contain 215 delegates, and the nominee only needs 10S votes. As Vigo county has 62 votes, ..and the friends of Faris claim all but a few of them, he appears to have a precedence. Especially is this true, if you take their word for the statement that the counties which have no candidates—Fountain, Montgomery and

Vermillion—are all favorable to Faris, as these counties cast nearly 80 votes. The Faris men also claim that Clay and Sullivan counties will only vote once for their respective candidates, if and then largely support Vigo's man.

W. E. CUBTIS, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, says that the sugar schedule is in the tariff bill as the result of a bargain made during the last Presidential campaign by the managers of President Cleve land's canvass fend the president of the sugar trust. The details of the bargain are unknown, but from circumstantial evidence it is presumed that in consideration of a large contribu tion to the treasury of the committee the «trust was assured that a duty would be placed upon sugar in case the Democrats were successful and the tariff was revised. The investigating committee endeavored to compel Mr.

Havarraeyer

to give the details of the

contract and the. amount of his contribution, but he refused to testify, and the Democratic members of the com­

mittee

sa|e

protected him in doing so. The

bargain was negotiated by Messrs. Gorman, Brice and Smith the terms are known to Secretary Carlisle and doubtless to the l"resident. They are also known to the members of the Senate Committee on Finance. These Senators mentioned insist that the baigain shall be carried out. They hale made that a condition of the pas-

of the bill. They have given tfieir word and are going to keep it.

TUB new sugar schedule, which is to foim the basis of "harmony" betweeD the two branches of Congress, scarcely be called a compromise.

abandonment of the Houses position of hostUity to the trust, the revulsion of sentiment on the part of the House conferrees being so powerful as

stretch, in the new schedule,

the advantages already gained by the trust. The new scheme of duties contemplates the levying of a 40 per cent, ad valorem duty on all sugars, raw and refined. But In the case of refined the ad valorem is to be laid on the value of the raw sugar used in making each pound of the refined. According to the estimates of the conferrees the 40 per cent duty on 100

of refined would, under this

arrangement, be calculated as equivalept to 40 per cent on the value of 113 pounds, of unrefined. According to the calculations of the leading sugar expert on the Finance Committee, Mr. Aldrich, the concealed advantage to the refiner, even with a 45 per cent flat rate, would be but 2M cents on a hundredweight. At 40 flat it would be perhaps a little over 2« cents on the hundredweight. But to recompense the trust for this loss of 2 cents a hundredweight, the Senate specific duty of of a cent a pound is to be increated to Wo' a cent a pound, and the discriminating duty against

"It was expensive masquerading, to say the least," replied the colonel, "but he never realized the consequences until Armitage told him today. You must hear his story in brief, Chester. It Is needful that three or four of us know it, so that some may be left to set things right at Sibley. God grant us all safe return 1" he added piously and with deep emotion. 'I can far better appreciate our home and happiness than I could a month ago. Now, Renwiek, tell the captain what you have told UB.

And briefly it was told—how in his youthful fury he had sworn never again to set foot within the door of the father and mother who had so wronged the poor girl he loved with boyish fervor now he called down the vengeanoe of heaven upon them in his frenzy and distress how ho had sworn never again to set eyes on their faces. "May God strike me dead if ever I return to this roof until she is avenged! May he deal with you as yon have dealt with her 1" wag the curse that flew from his wild lips, and with that he left them, stunned. He went west, was soon penniless, and caring not what he did, seeking change, adventure, anything to take him out of his past, he enlisted in the cavalry and was speedily drafted to the th, which was just starting forth on a stirring summer campaign. He was a fine horseman, a fine shot, a man who instantly attracted the notice of his officers. The campaign was full of danger, adventure, rapid and constant marching, and before he knew it or dreamed it possible he had become deeply interested in his new life.

Only in the monotony of a month or iwo in garrison that winter did the service seem intolerable. His comrades were rough in the main, but thoroughly good hearted, and he soon won their esteem. The spring sent them again into the field, another stirring campaign, and here he won his stripes and words of praise from the lips of a veteran general officer as well as the promise of future reward, and thou the love of soldierly deeds and the thirst for soldierly renown took firm hold in his breast He began to turn toward the mother and father who had been wrapped up in his future, who loved him so devotedly. He was forgetting his early and passionate love, and the bitter sorrow of her death was losing fast its poignant power to steel him against his kindred. He knew they could not but bo proud of the record lie had made in the ranks of the gallant th, and then he shrank and shiverod when he recalled the dreadful words of his curse. He hod made up his mind to write, implore pardon for his hideous and unfilial language and k^-oke thoir interest in his career, whenTreturning to Fort Raines for supplies, ho picked up a New York paper in the reading room and read the announcement of his father's death, "whose health had been broken ever since the disappearance of his only son, two years before." The memory of his malediction had indeed come home to him, and he fell stricken by a sudden and unaccountable blow.

It seemed as thougli his heart had given one wild leap, then stopped forever. Things did not go so well after this. He brooded over his words and believed that an avenging Ood had launched the bolt that killed the father as punishment to the stubborn and recreant son He then bethought him of his mother, of pretty Alice, who had loved him so as a little girl. He could not bring himself to write, but through inquiries he learned that the house was closed and that they had goue abroad He plodded on in his duties a trying year then came more lively field work and reviving interest. Ho was forgetting entirely tho sting of his first great sorrow and mourning gravely the gulf he had placed 'twixt him and his.

He thought time and again of his cruel words, and something began to whisper to him be must see that mother again at once, kiss her hand and implore her forgiveness, or she, too, would be stricken suddenly. He saved up his money hoping that after the summer's rifle work at Sibley he might get a furlough and go east, and the night he arrived at tho fort, tired with his long railway journey and panting after a long and difficult climb up hill, his mother's face swam suddenly before his eyes, and he felt himself going down. When they brought him to, he heard that the ladies were Mrs. Maynard and her daughter, Miss Renwiek—his own mother, remarried his own Alice, a grown young woman. This was indeed news to put him in a flutter and spoil his shooting. Ho realized at once that the gulf Was wider than ever. How oould he go to her now, the wife of a colonel, and be ao enlisted man? Like

I other soldiers, liolfoTgot that, the line of 1 ^ouuvrcatiou was one of discipline, not *f sympathy, fie did not realize what

auy

soldier among his officers would gladly have told him—that he was most

w°*thy

to reveal himself now, a non­

commissioned officer Whose record Vras an honor to himself and to his regiment, a soldier of whom offtoors and comrades alike wtao proud. He never dreamec indeed, how few there are who do—that a man of his oharactcr, standing and ability is honored and respected by the very men'whom tho customs of the service require him to speak with only when spoken to. He supposed that only as Fred Renwiek cenld he oxtend his hand to one of their number, whereas it was nnder his soldier name he won their trust and admiration, and it was as Sergeant McLeod the officers of tho th were backing him for a commission that would make him what they deemed him fit to be— their equal.

Unable to penetrate the armor of reserve and discipline which separates the officer from the rank and file, he never imagined that tho colonel would have been the first- to welcome him had he known the truth. He believed that now his last chanco of seeing his mother was gone urtil that coveted commission was won. Then came another blow. The doctor told him that with his heart trouble he could nevfcr pass the physical examination. Ho could not hopo for preferment, then, and must see her as be was and see her secretly and alona Then came blow after blow. His shooting had failed, so had that of ethers of his regiment, and he was ordered to return in charge of the party early on the morrow. The order reached him late in the evening, and before breakfast time on the following day he was directed to start with his party for town, thence by

rail to his distant post. That night, in desperaticiu, he made his plan. Twice before he had strolled dowu to the post, and with yearning eyes had studied every feature of the colonel's house. He dared ask no questions of servants or of the men in garrison, but he learned enough to kaow which rooms were theirs, and he had noted that the windows were always open. If ho could oniy see their loved faces, Jcneel and kiss his mother's hand, pray God to for-1 give him, he could go away believing I that he had undone the spell and revoked the malediction of his early youth. It was hazardous, but worth the danger. He could go in peace and sin no more toward mother, at least, I and then if she mourned and missed him could he not find it out some day and make himself known to her after his discharge? Ho slipped out of camp, leaving his boots behind and wearing

his light Apache moccasins and flannel

shirt and trousers. Danger to •»,»,,, had no great fear of.

himself

he had no great fear of. If by any chance mother or sister should wake, he had but to stretch forth his hand and say, "It is only I—Fred," Danger to them he never dreamed of.

Strong and athletic, despite his slender frame, he easily lifted the ladder from Jerrold's fence, and dodging tho sentry when he spied him at tbe gate finally took it down back of tho colonel's and raised it to a rear window. By the strangest clianco the window wai olosed, and ho could not budge it. Then he heard the challenge of a sentry around on tho east front and had just time to slip down and lower tho ladder when ho heard the rattle of a sword and knew it must be the officer of the day. There was no time to carry off the ladder. He loft it lying where it was and sprang down the steps toward tho station. Soon he heard No. 5 challenge and knew the officer had passed on waited some time, but nothing occured to indicate that the ladder was discovered, and then, plucking up courage and with a muttered prayer for guidance and protection, he stole up hill again, raised tho ladder to the west wall, noiselessly ascended, peered in Alice's window and could see a faint night light burning in the hall beyond, but that all was darkness there, stole around on the roof of the piazza to the hall window, stepped noiselessly upon the sill, climbed over the lowered sash and found himself midway between the rooms He could hear the colonel's placid snoring and tho regular breathing of tho other sleepers. No time was to be lost. Shading the little night lamp with ono hand, he entered the open door, stole to the bedside, took ono long look at his mother's face, knelt, breathed upon, but barely brushed with his trembling lips, the queenly white hand that lay upon the coverlet, poured forth one brief prayer to God for protection and blessitig for her and forgiveness for him, retraced his steps and caught sight of the lovely picture of Alice in the directoire costume. He longed for it and could not resist. She had grown so beautiful, so exquisite. Ho took it, frame and all, carried it into her room, slipped the card from its place and hid it inside the breast of his shirt, stowed the frame away behind her sofa pillow, then looked long at tho lovely picture she herself made, lying there sleeping sweetly and peacefully amid the white drapings of her dainty bed. Then 'twas time to go. He put the lamp back in tho hall, passed through her room, out at her window and down tho ladder and had it well on tho way back to the hooks on

Jerrold's fence when seized and challenged by the officer of the day. Mad terror possessed him then. He struck blindly, dashed off in panicky flight, paid no heed to sontrys' cry or whistling missile, but toro like a racer up the path and never slackened speed till Sibley was far behind.

When morning came, the order that they should go was temporarily suspended. Some prisoners were sent to a neighboring military prison, and he was placed in charge, and on his return from this duty learned that the colonel's family had gone to Sablon. The next thing thero was some strange talk that worried him—a story that ono of the men who had a sweetheart who was second girl at Mrs. Hoyt's brought out to camp—a atory that there was an officer who was too much In love with Alice to keep away from the house oven aftor the colonel so ordered, and that he was prowling around the other night, and the colonel ordered Leary to shoot him —Leary, who was on post on No. 5. He felt suro that something was wrong —felt sure that it was due to his night visit—and his first impulse was to find his mother and confide the truth to hor. He longed to see hor again, and if harm had been done to make himself known and explain everything. Having no duties to detain him, 'he got a pass to visit town and permission to be gone a day or moro. On Saturday evening ho ran down to Sablon, drove over, as Captain Armitage had already told them, and peering in his mother's room Baw her, still up, thougli in her nightdress. He never dreamed of the colonel's being out and watching. Ho had "scouted" all those trees, and no one was nigh Then he softly called. She heard and was coming to him, when again came fierce attack. Ho had all a soldier's reverence for the person of the colonel and would never havo harmed him had ho known 'twas lie. It was the night watchman that had grappled with him, he supposed, and he had no compunctions in sending him to grass. Then he fled again, knowing that he had only made b&J.WQEM. voilkod all that night

to the station tir.xt fJQrtli of Sablon—a big town, whore the early morning train always stopped-^-aud by 10 on Sunday morning he wt in uniform again and off with his imentai com rades under orders to hasw to their station—there was trouble with the Indians at Spirit Rock, and the th were held in readiness. From beneath his scouting shirt he drew a flat paoV^t, an Indian case, which he carefulj', Arolled, and thero in its folds of wrappings was the lovely directolre photograph.

Whoso, then, was tho one that Sloat had seen in Jerrold's room? It was this that Armitage had gone forward to determine, and he found his sad eyed lieutenant with the skirmishers. "Jerrold," said he, with softened manner, 'a strange thing is brought to light this morning, and I lose no time in telling you. The man who was seen at Maynard's quarters, coming from Miss Renwick's room, was her own brother and the colonel's stepson. He was the man who took the photograph from Mrs. Maynard's room and has proved it this very day, this very hour." Jerrold glanced up in sudden surprise. "Ho is with us now, and only ono thing remains, whioh you can clear up. We are j?oiug into action, and I may not get through, nor you, nor— who knows who. Will you toll us now how you came by your copy of that photograph?"

For answer Jerrold fumbled in his pocket a moment and drow forth two letters. "I wrote these last night, and it was my intention to see that you had them before it grew very hot. One is addressed to you, the other to Miss Beau bien. You "had better take them now," he said wearily. "There may bo no time to talk aftor this. Send hers aftei it's over, and don't read yovra until then," "Why, I dour't understand this exaot ly," said Armitage, puzzled. "Can't you tell me about the picture?" "No, I promises not to while I lived, but it's the simplest matter in the world, and no ono at the colonel's had a hand in it They never saw this ono that I got to show Sloat. It is burned now. 1 said 'twas given me. That was hardly tho truth. I have paid for it dearly enough," "And this note explains it?' "Yos. You can read it tomorrow,"

CHAPTER XIX,

And the morrow has come. Down iu a deep and bluff shadowed valley, hung all around with picturesque crags and piuo crested heights, under ft cloudless September sun, whose warmth is

,i tempered by tho mountain breeze, a

tholJs md r/

,ooki

bronzed alul

bearded and powder blackened men are resting after battle. Here and there on distant ridge and point, the pavalry videttes keep vigilant watch against surprise or renewed attack. Down along the banks of a clear, purling stream a sentry paces slowly by tlio brown line of rifles, swivel stacked in the sunshine. Men by tho dozen are washing their blistered feet and grimy hands and faces in the cool, refreshing water men by the dozen lie soundly sleeping, some in the broad glare, some in the shade of the little dump of wil}ows, oil heedless of the pestering swarms of flies. Out on the broad, grassy slopes, side lined and watched by keen eyed guards, the herds of cavalry horses are quietly grazing, forgetful of the wild excitement of yestereven. Every now and then some one of them lifts his head, pricks up his ears and snorts and stamps suspiciously as he sniffs at the puffs of smoke that come drifting up the valley from the fires a mile away. The waking men, too, bestow an occasional comment on the odor which greets their nostrils. Down stream, where the fires are burning, are the blackened remnants of a wagon train. Tires, bolts and axles are lying about, but all woodwork is in smolder* ing ashes so, too, is all that remains of several hundredweight of stores and supplies destined originally to nourish the Indians, but, by them, diverted to feed the flro.

There is a big circle of seething flame and rolling smoke here, too—a malodorous neighborhood, around which fatigue parties are working with averted heads, and among them some surly and unwilling Indians, driven to labor at the muzzlo of threatening revolver or carbine, aid in dragging to the flames carcass after carcass of horse and mule, and in gathering together and throwing on tho pyro an array of miscellaneous soldier garments, blouses, shirts and trousers, all more or l«ss hacked and blood stained, all of no more use to mortal wearer.

Out on the southern slopos, just Where a ravine crowded with wild rose bushes opens into the valley, moro than half the command is gathered, formed in reotangular lines about a number of shallow, elongated pits, in each of which thero lies the stiffening form of a comrade who but yesterday joined in the battle cheer that burst upon the valley with tho setting sun. Silent and reverent they stand in their rough campaign garb. The escort of infantry "rests on arms the others bow their uncovered heads, and it is the voice of the veteran colonel that, in accents trembling with sympathy and emotion, renders tho last tribute to fallen comrades and lifts to heaven the prayers for the dead. Then soe! Tho mourning groups break away from tho southern side, the brown rifles of the escort aro lifted in air, tho listening rocks resound to tho sudden ring of the flashing volloy, the soft, low, wailing goodby of the trumpets goes floating up the vale, and soon the bnrial parties are left alone to cover the once familiar faces with the earth to which the soldier must return, and the comrades who are left, foot and dragoon, come marching, silent, back to camp.

And when the old regiment begins its homeward journey, leaving the well won field to the fast arriving commands and bidding hearty soldier farewell to tho cavalry comrades whoso friendship thoy gained in the front of a savage foe, the company that was the first to land its fire in the fight goes back with diminished numbers and under command of its second lieutenant. Alas, poor Jerrold I

There was a solemn little group around the campfiro tho night before they go. Frank Armitage, fiat on his back, with a rifle bullet through his thigh, but taking things very coolly for all that, is having a quiet conference with his colonel. Such of tho wounded of the entire command as are well enough to travel by easy stages to the railway go with Maynard and the regiment iu the morning, and Sergeant MoLeod, with his saber arm in a sling, Is one of these. But the captain of Company must wait until the surgeons can lift him along in an ambulanoe and all fear of fever has subsided. To the oolonel and Chester he handB the note which is all that is left to oomfort poor Nina Beatibien. To them ho reads aloud the note addressed to himself: "You are right in saying that the matter of my possessQj^^that photo

graph should longer to palliaj that puppish Iieye that I coul

I seek no In making I did be-

Henwiok

or her mother "to lot mo havo a copy, but I was refused so positively that I know it was useless. This simply added to my desire to have one. The photographer was the samo that took tho pictures and furnished the albums for our class at graduation, and I, more than any one, had been instrumental in getting the order for him against very active opposition. He'had always professed tho greatest gratitude to me and a willingness to do anything for me. I wrote him in strict confidenco, told him of the intimate and close relations existing between tho colonel's family and me, told him I wauted it to enlarge and present to her mother on her approaching birthday and promised him that I would never reveal how I came by tho picture so long as I lived, and he sent me ono—-just in time. Havo I not paid heavily for my sin?"

No one qpoke for a moment. Chester was tho first to break the silenoe: "Poor fellow 1 He kept his word to tho photographer, but what was it worth to a woman?"

There had boon a week of wild anxiety and excitement at Sibley. It was known through the columns of the press that the regiment had hurried forward from tho railway the instant it reached the Colorado trail that It could not hope to get through to the valley of the Bpirit Wolf without a fight, and that tho moment it succeeded in joining hands with the cavalry already there a vigorous attack would be made on the Indians. The news of the resoue of the survivors of Thornton's command oame first, and with it tho tidings that Maynard and his regiment were met only §0 miles from the scene and were pushing forward The next news eafaie two days later, and a wajl went up even while men were shaking hands and rejoicing over the gallant fight that had been made, and women were weeping for joy and thanking God that those whom they held dearest were safe. It was down among the wives of tho sergeants and other veterans that the blow struck hardest at

Sibley, for the stricken offioera wore unmarried men, while among the rank and file there were several who never came baok to the little ones who bore their namo. Company had suffered paost, for the Indians had oharged fiercely on its deployed but steadfast line. Armitage almost choked and broke down when tellipg the colonel about it that night as he lay nnder the willows. "It was the first smile I had seen on his face since I got baok—that with whioh he looked up in my eyes and whispered goodby—and died, just after we drove

lie whUtpercd goodby and died. them back. My turn came later.'' Old Sloat, too, "had his customary orack," as he expressed it—a shot through the WTist that made him hop and swear savagely until some of the men got to laughing at the comical figure he cut, and then he turned and damned them with hearty good will and seemed all oblivious of the bullets that went ripping past his frosting head. Young Bollins, to his inexpressible pride and comfort, had a bullet hole through his scouting hat and another through his shoulder strap that raised a big welt on the white skin beneath, but, to the detriment of promotion, no captain was killed. and Jerrold gave the only file.

The ono question at Sibley was. What will Nina Beaubien do? She did nothing. She would see nobody from the instant the news camo. She had hardly Blept at night, was always awake at dawn and out at the gate to get the earliest oopy of the morning papers, but the news reached them at nightfall, and when some of the ladles from the fort drove in to offer their sympathy and condolence in the morning and to make tender inquiry the answer at the door was that Miss Nina saw nobody, that her mother alone was with her, and that' 'she was very still.'' And so it went fo» some days. Then there oame the return of the oommand to Sibley, and hundreds of people went up from town to see the six oompanies of the fort garrison maroh up the winding I road amid the thunder of welcome from the guns of the light battery and the exultant strains of the band. Mrs. Maynard and Alice were the only ladies of the circle who were not there. A son and brother had joined them after long absence, at Aunt Grace's cottage at Sablon, was the explanation, and the oolonel would bring them home in a few days, after he had attended to some important matters at the fort. In the first place, Chester had to see to it that the tongue of scandal was slit, so far as the colonel's household was concerned, and all good people notified that no such thing had happened as was popularly supposed—and "everybody" rocoived the announcement with the remark that she knew all along it couldn't be so— and that a grievous and absurd but most mortifying blunder had been made. It was a most unpleasant ghost to down,

the shadow of that scandal, for it would come up to the surface of garrison chat at all manner of confidential moments, but no man or woman could safely speak of it to Chester. It was gradually assumed that he was the man who had done all the blundering and that he was supersensitive on the subject.

There was another thing never satisfactorily explained to some of the garrison people, and that was Nina Beaubien's strange oonduot. In less than a week she was seen on the street in colors— brilliant colors—when it was known she had ordered deep mourning, and then she suddenly disappeared and went with her silent old mother abroad. To this day no woman in sooiety understands it, for when she oame baok, long, long afterward, it was a subjeot on which she would never speak. There were one or two who ventured to ask, and tho answer was, "For reasons that concern me alone.'' But it took no great power of mental vision to see that her heart wore black for him forever.

His letter explained it all. Sho had received it with a paroxysm of passionate grief and joy, kissed it, covered it with wildest caresses before she began to read, and then, little by little, as the words unfolded before her staring eyes, turned cold as stone:
