GKOYKR CI.KVKI.AXI sounded the keynote for the Republicans when he wrote that letter to Chairman Wilson.

Ixci.UDiNu to-day Congress lias been in session three hundred and fifty days. It was exceeded in length by the First and Twenty-seventh Congresses. None have exceeded it, in follies and scandals.

OXTLKKSS.MAN HKOOKSHIRK will SOOI1 be at houie now to enter upon his campaign of excuse and explanation. The plausible sort of apology he will offer for the conduct of Congress is awaited with breathless anxiety.

DKMOCKATIC organs are attempting to show that the present Congress has been an "economical Congress." Chairluan Wilsonsays the Gorman bill which becomes a law to-day puts S40.000.000 into the pockets of the sugar trust.

IN his letter to Chairman Wilson l'resident Cleveland said that the rank and tile of the Democracy "are downcast under the assertion that their paitv ftiils hi ability I mtinwjc the Government." The rank and file are still downcast.

W. W. 1'AKSOXS, the State normal president, states that the normal will ask a S2S.000 appropriation of the coming legislature. The officiary has found itself "shy" of funds to complete the new building, hence the demand. "We had 1,332 students last year." said he. "and so many more are coming this year that I absolutely don't know what we'll do with them.''

THK Louisville Cnurier-Jounud says it is getting some new designs in party platforms this seasou. Striking contrasts and bizarre effects are very popular. Principles are cut bias and tacked on as trimming anywhere to give an appearance of fullness when worn at the polU. Xential tints are affected by a few, but the prevailing fancy is for combinations of many colors. Mr Watterson may be consoled with the fact that "party perfidy and part}- dishonor" are on the free list.

CHICAGO Inter-Occmr. Well, Deiric cr atic statesmen will soon be in our idst. and the people will modestly ask, What promised pledge of 18U2 or 1 S'.i 3 has been redeemed? Did voting S 10.000,000 to the whisky trust and $-10,000,000 to the sugar trust help "the poor man with his little dinner pail'.'" Where is the SI.25 wheat'.' What has become of "the good Democratic times" promised, when "every man should have fair wages Are these not fa.iiquestions?

•-..TO-DAY the Gorman bill becomes a law and the average farmer, mechanic and workingman will dance with joy to know that this great reform measure will take from their pockets $43.000,000 in the way of sugar duties This 543,000.000 must be made up by tbe increased price they must pay for this "necessary of life." True, they will have the consolation of knowing that the tax on Havana cigars lias been reduced, and that their brandy will cost them SO cents a gallon les-j.

CONGRESSMAN TOM JOHNSON. Democrat. of Ohio, tried to get a chance to make a speech in Congress denouncing the party for its inglorious surrender. He was permitted to print his speech in the Ret-on I, but not to deliver it. In it lie says: "Administration, House and Senate, our conduct is all of a piece! We have not honestly tried to reduce taxes as we said we would. We have not honestly tried to abolish trusts as we said we would. On the contrary, and from tlie beginning, we have shown the most tender solicitude for the welfare of trusts and rings, the most stolid disregard of our pledges to the people. "Is the Democratic party mad.' asked Mr. Johnson, "with the madness visited by the gods upon those they would destroy? How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous discriminations and violations of principles?"

THE Gorman tariff bill became a law last night at i2 o'clock. President Cleveland refused to approve it by his fcignature or to disapprove it by a veto, and it became a law by the expiration of the ten-day period. He did not send a message to Congress in which it was expected that he would rip up Gorman. Brice & Co., but at the last moment he did send a letter to Congressman Catchings, of Mississippi, which of course is intended for Democratic consumption, in which he airs his disgruntlement in a mild sort of way. The letter lacks the vigor of the Wilson letter and will not impress itself on the country as did the Wilson epistle. However he takes nothing back and it is presumed that he is •willing to permit his original utterances to stand as his opinion of the Gorman law, a law which is the culmination of "party perfidy and party dishonor." Neither does Mr. Cleveland satisfactorily answer the question which he himself propounded: "llow can we face the people after indulging in mwli uuliinjcoux tlixr-rimlmi timix and violations of principle?' This question remains unanswered.

CHAPTER XI.

Margaret spoke caressingly to her horse when she opened the stable door anil Gypsy replied with that affectionate low guttural whinny which the Scotch graphically term "nickering." She patted the little animal, and if Gypsy was surprised at being saddled and bridled at that hour of the night, no protest was made, the horse merely rubbing its nose lovingly up and down Margaret's sleeve as she buckled the different straps. There was evidently a good understanding between those two. "No, Gyp," she whispered, "I have nothing for you to-night—nothing but hard work and quick work. Now. you mustn't make a noise till we get past the house."

On her wrist she slipped the loop of a riding-whip which she always carried but never used. Gyp had never felt the indignity of the lash. The little horse was always willing to do what was required merely for a word.

Margaret opened the big gate before she saddled her horse, and there was therefore no delay in getting out upon the main road, although the passing of the house was an anxious moment. She feared that if her father heard the steps or the neighing of the horso he might come out to investigate. Halfway between her own home and Bartlett's house she sprang lightly into the saddle. "Now then, Gyp."

The horse required no second word. Away they sped down the road towards th° fast, the mild.luneaircoining sweetand cool and fresh from the distant lake, laden with the odors of the woods and the fields. The stillness was Intense, broken only by the plaintive cry of the whippoorwill, America's onephrased nightingale, or the still more weird and eerie note of the distant loon.

The houses along the road seemed deserted no lights were shown anywhere. The wildest rumors were abroad concerning the slaughter of the day, and the population, scattered as it was. appeared to have retired into its shell. A spell of silence and darkness was over the land, and the rapid hoof-beats of the horse sounded with startling distinctness on the harder portions of the road, emphasized by intervalsof complete stillness when the fetlocks sank in the sand and progress was more difficult for the plucky little animal. The only thrill of fear that Margaret felt on her niglit-journey was when she entered the dark arch of an avenue of old forest trees that bordered the road like a great gloomy cathedral aisle in the shadow of which anything might be hidden. Once the horse, with a jump of fear, started sideways and plunged ahead Margaret caught her breath as she saw, or fancied she saw, several men stretched on the roadside, asleep or dead. Once in the open again she breathed more freely, and if it had not been for the jump of the horse she would huve accused her imagination of playing her a trick, .lust as she had completely reassured herself, a shadowmoved from the fence to the middle of the road, and a sharp voice cried: "Halt:"

The little horse, as if it knew the meaning of the word, planted its two front hoofs together and slid along the ground for a moment, coming so quickly to a standstill that it was with some difficulty Margaret kept her seat. She saw in front of her a man holding a gun, evidently ready to fire if she attempted to disobey his command. "W ho are you, and where are you going?" he demanded. "Oh, please let me pass." pleaded Margaret, with a tremor of fear in her voice. "I am going for a doctor—for my brother he is badly wounded, and will perhaps die If I am delayed."

The man laughed. "Oho!" he cried, coining closer "a woman, is it? and a young one, too, or rn a heathen. Now. miss or missus, you get down. I'll have to investigate, this. The brother business won't work with an old soldier. It's your lover you're riding for at this time of the night, or I'm no judge of the sex. Just slip down, my lady, and see if you don like me better than him: and remember that all cats are black in the dark. Get down. I tell you." "If you are a soldier you will let me go. My brother is badly wounded. I must get to the doctor."' "There no 'must with a bayonet in front of you. If he has been wounded there's plenty of better men killed today. Come down, my dear."

Margaret gathered'up the bridle rein, but even in the darkness the man saw her intention. "You can't escape, my pretty. If you try it, you'll not be hurt, but I'll kill your horse. If you move, I'll put a bullet through him." "Kill my horse! breathed Margaret, In horror, a fear coming over her that she had not felt at the thought of danger to herself. "Yes, missy," saiii the man. approaching nearer and laying his hand on Gypsy's lrtdle. "Hut there will lie no need of that, besides, it would make too much noise, and might bring us company, which would be inconvenient. So come down quietly, like the nice little girl you are." "If you will let me go and tell the doctor. I will come back here and be your prisoner."

The man laughed again, in low, tantalizing tones. This was a good joke. "Oh, no, sweetheart. I wasn't born so recently as all that. A girl in the hand is worth a dozen a mile up the road. Now come off that horso, or I'll take you off. This is war-time, and I'm not going to waste any more prettytalk on you."

The man, who, she now .saw, was hatless, leered up at her, nnd something in his sinister oyes made the girl quail. She had been so quiet that he apparently was not prepared for any sudden movement. Her right hand hanging flown at ner suie had grasped the short riding-whip, and with a swiftness that gave him no chance to ward off the blow she struck him one stinging blinding cut across the eyes, and then brought down the lash' on the flank of her horse, drawing the animal round with her left over her enemy. With a wild snort of astonishment the horse sprang forward, bringing man and gun down lo the ground with a clatter that woke the echoes then, with an Indignant toss of the head, Gyp sped along the road like the wind. It was the first time Gypsy had ever felt the cut of a whip, and the blow was not forgiven. Margaret, fearing further obstruction on the road, turned her

horse's head towards tne ran fence, and Gypsy went over it like a bird. In the field, where fast going in the dark had dangers, Margaret tried to slacken the pace, but the little horse would not

have it so. It shook its head angrily whenever it thought of the indignity of that blow, while Margaret leaned over and tried to explain and beg pardon for her offense. The second fence was crossed with a clean-cut leap, and only once in the next field did the horse stumble, but quickly recovered and went on at the same breakneck gait. The next fence gallantly vaulted over brought them to the sideroad half a mile up which stood the doctor's house. Margaret saw the. futility of attempting a reconciliation until the goal was won. There, with difliculty, the horse was stopped, and Margaret struck the panes of the upper window, through which a light shone, with her riding-whip. The window was raised, and the situation speedily explained to the physician. "I will be with you in a moment," ho said.

Then Margaret slid from the saddle and put her arms around the neck of the trembling horse. Gypsy would have nothing to do with her, and sniffed the air with offended dignity. "It was a shame, Gyp," she- cried, almost tearfully, stroking the glossy neck of her resentful friend "it was, it was, and I know it but what was I to do, Gyp? You were the only protector I had, and you did bowl him over beautifully no other horse could have done it so well. It's wicked, but 1 do hope you hurt him, just because I had to strike you."

Gypsy was still wrathful, and indicated by a toss of the head that the wheedling of a woman did not make up for a blow. It was the insult more than the pain and from her—there was the sting of it. "1 know I know just how you feel, Gypsy dear, and I don't blame you for being angry. I might have spoken to you, of course, but there was no time to think, and it was really him I was striking. That's why it came down so hard. If I had said a word he would have got out of the way, coward that he was, and then would have shot you —you, Gypsy. Think of it!"

If a man can be moulded in any shape that pleases a clever woman, hew can a horse expect to be exempt from her influence, even if he is a superior animal to man? Gypsy showed signs of melting, whinnying softly and forgivingly. "And it will never happen again, Gypsy—never, never. As soon as we are safe home again I will burn that whip. You little pet. I knew you wouldn't—"

Gypsy's head rested on Margaret's shoulder, and we must draw a veil over the reconciliation. Some things are too sacred for a mere man to meddle with. The friends were friends once more, and on the altar of friendship the unoffending whip was doubtless offered as a burning sacrifice.

When the doctor came out. Margaret explained the danger of the road, and proposed that they should return by the longer and northern way—the Concession, as it was called.

They met no one on the silent road, and soon they saw the light in the window.

The doctor and the girl left their horses tied some distance from the house, and walked together to the window with the stealthy steps of a pair of house-breakers. Margaret listened breathlessly at the closed window, and thought she heard the low murmur of conversation. She tapped lightly on the pane, and the professor threw back the door window. "We were getting very anxious about you," he whispered. "Hello, Peggy," said the boy, with a wan smile, raising his head slightly from the pillow and dropping it back again.

Margaret stooped over and kissed him. "My poor boy! what a fright you have given me!" "Ah. Margery, think what a fright I got myself. I thought I was going to die within sight of the house."

The doctor gently pushed Margaret from the room. Kenmark waited until the examination was over, and then went out to find her.

She sprang forward to meet him. "It is all right," he said. "There is nothing to feur. He has been exhausted by loss of blood, but a few days' quiet will set that right. Then all you will have to contend against will be his impatience at being kept to his room, which may be necessary for some weeks." "Oh, I am so glad! and--and I am so much obliged to you, Mr. Renmai-kl" "I have done nothing—except make blunders," replied the professor, with a bitterness that surprised and hurt her. "How can you say that? You have done everything. We owe his life to you."

Kenmark said nothing for a moment. Her unjust accusation in the earlier part of the night had deeply pained his over-sensitive nature, and he hoped for some hint of disclaimer from her. belonging to the stupider sex, he did not realize that the words were spoken in a stat« of intense excitement and fear —that another woman would probably have expressed her state of mind by fainting Instead of talking, and that the whole episode had left absolutely no trace oil the recollection of Margaret. At last Renmark spoke: "I must be getting back to the tent, if it still exists. I think 1 had an appointment there with Yates some twelve hours ago, but to this moment 1 had forgotten it. Good night."

Margaret stood for a few moments alone, and wondered what she had done to offend him. He stumbled ulozur
