"We had become acquainted with another American family, who were staying for (I10 summer in Heidelberg, and this lady and her daughter, together %ith the professor, Miss Stirling, Phil and I, made ug the party. The day was Splendid, and every one was in a merry Irani or. "We were in just that high state of exhilaration when, apparently, nothing restrained us from sailing off in the air ©n our mountain sticks but the presence of the professor and the circumspect Vidow, who chaperoned the party. There was no end to the mad tricks and vagaries that every one felt at liberty to perpetrate, and Edna Stirling led the frolic. "Phil had been more than usually attentive to her that day. He was her shadow and her slave, and, like a bird spreading its wings and singing in the sunshine, she fairly reveled in this at-

Biosphere of love and merriment. "She seemed to embody the airy whimsicalities, the erratic music and graceful humor of a whole French opera in herself. "Bat, in spite of her coquetries and mad pranks, she knew just when to stop. Not one of us would have dared to speak in a more familiar tone to her •when we went home than when we Started out. "That night, in the privacy of our own room, as we smoked a consoling pipe, the day's doings came up for discussion. Referring to Miss Stirling, I «aid:

'What a wonderful fund of spirits die has!' 'She was simply intoxicating today.' "His words somehow jarred on me. There was f-omething in the tone that struck me is not that of a man in love. Evidently he did not think of her as I had begun to imagine she thought of iiim. "A• few evenings after this occurred the conversation which was a prototype of tonight's. "We had been speaking of literary women, and Phil had used some of the .identical expressions that you have. I believe he had also quoted Hawthorne, to the effect that when a woman has other ai«s in life she is not likely to fall in lane, which simply goes to prove that Hawthorne on some points was a misguided man. "At last he applied his deductions to Miss Stirling, summing it all up with, (*JMore intellect than heart, depend upon it.' 'It is quite plain that you are not in love with her,' I saSfd, 'or yon wouldn't talk in that way.' fe e" 'I don't know whether I am or iiot." ssasMi« WQJ], I think for her sake you ought to find out before things go much further.' i,.~ "He opened his eyes at me just as you did tonight and looked in a surprised, innocent sort of war.

""'Why, I wonder if one can't indulge in a delightful little platonic friendship without "things going too far," and all that nonsense,' he said, with some irritation. 'Are you sure she looks at it in that light?' 'Why, certainly. She has often given me to understand as much. Bless you, I wouldn't dare to make love to her she'd wither me at the first tender word. Besides she'll never care as much for any human being as she does for her books. If she does, I am not the one. I am amusing her for the time being, and the pleasure of the thing being mutual I'm quite satisfied with the arrangement. 'Philip Moroly!' said I, triming on him with indignation. 'She does care for yon, and you're either Uriah Heepish or stone bIi:Kl not to see it.' "He took his pipe slovdy out of his mouth, and un^wered even more slowly, in the mcr-if. impulsive voice: 'Still you might bo mistaken.' "I found I had stumbled on the sphinx or something about equally enigmatical. His manner and reply were open to a dozen different constructions. Either I was confoundedly stupid or overalert. He was the simplest, most ingenuous of creatures, or else he was Machiaveliun at disguise. Again there was the possibility of his not attempting to convey any particular meaning at all, but only voicing his own inertness or passive uncertainty. "Looking at his answer in any of these lights, I had a strong aversion to pursuing the matter farther besides, what business was it of mine? So I only echoed bis words in a vague way. 'Perhaps I am mistaken,' I said, and never again alluded to the subject nntil he introduced it himself. "About a week after this the professor signified his intention of going to the little town of Elotz—that is not the right name, but we'll call it that for short—situated a mile or two from tbe French frontier, where he had heard there were some remarkable geological formations. "As Phil and I had intended taking a vacation trip, we decided to run down to Switzerland, and arranged to go by a route that would enable us to stop and visit our friends at Klotz. "We parted with the mutual understanding that we were to be together again in a week, at the longest. "The day after they went Phil proposed to me an entirely different route. "'Whatl' I exclaimed. 'Don't you mean to go to Klotz at all?' "'No I think, on the whole, the country is not so pretty through thera as it would be by another road.' "I was in a quandary. I disliked disappointing Miss Stirling and the professor, but concluded that Phil must have some strong reason for not wishing to meet them again. I did not want to go to them without him, as most likely I wonld be asked why he had not come, and what could I say? "He was becoming more of a mystery to me evei-y day. "Three days after this he told me he had concluded we might as well take the first zoute by Klotz. as he thought,

after all, it'wodld be the most interesting. "I had consulted maps and guidebooks and arranged, with his sanction, an entirely different trip, and was not Willing to give up my plans at a minute's notice besides, I was heartily disgusted with playing the role of shuttle* cock to this young gentleman's battledoor. I remonstrated with him. 'Very well,' he said, with decision. 'You may take your route if you are determined on it, but I shall go to Klotz.' "Phil was good company we had been together a long time, and it ended by my agreeing to go with him. "We found Edna Stirling looking terribly pale and haggard. When I mentioned her appearance to the professor, he seemed suddenly to awaken to the fact and remarked that she had worked unceasingly of late and had taken very little exercise. "I oonld not help noticing how her eyes lighted up at seeing Phil, and how a small red spot burned on each cheek as the weary look departed from her face. "That evening I felt it more than ever incumbent on me to be entertaining to the old gentleman, and we took a walk toward the outskirts of the town to a spot that the professor especially wished me to see. "Phil and Edna went in the opposite direction toward the only pretty resort of the whole plaoe—the banks of a rapidly running stream that took its course past the town. "When we returned from our walk, which lasted till quite latew I expected to find Phil waiting for me at the professor's lodgings, but neither of them had come in, so I walked slowly home, and in about half an hour the moonlight stroller returned. 'Hello! Got back?" I called out as he entered the outer room. "Yes, got back," he answered. "And that was all that passed between us for about ten minutes. At the end of that time he came in where I was, lighted a pipe, and we smoked in silence. "Suddenly he exclaimed: 'John, she was glad to see me, wasn't she?' 'Of course she was. I suppose your doubts in that direction are forever settled tonight.' 'What do you mean?' he asked, with the same innocent air before mentioned. 'Well, you don't pretend to say that you've been out together all this time, and such a night as this, and haven't come to an understanding I cried. 'Well, I'do mean just that.' 'Phil Morely, you area queer specimen How in thunder you can be so patient and afford to wait without knowing what your fate is going to be is more than I can understand. I should have to have it out with her and be certain whether it was yes or no. Is it lack of courage, boy?' 'I don't know what it is.' "I looked at him for about a minute, but failing to discover any light on the matter became somewhat disgusted and said: 'Well, neither do But I feel as if I should have to go to Baden to recuperate if this thing is to go on much longer. It's wearing me out.' "Neither of us spoke again on the subject, and silence reigned. "It seemed as if I had not been asleep more than an hour when I was awakened by a loud rapping at the door. "It was morning, and there was a confused murmur of voices outside. The rapping was repeated with increased force. I dressed as hastily as possible, at the same time asking what was wanted. 'Philip Morely. Is he here?' "It was the professor's voice. "I answered, 'Yes, he is here!' and roused Phil. "On opening the door the old man, wild eyed and haggard, entered, with several Americans. "At seeing Phil it seemed that he could have sprung at his throat, but with difficulty restrained himself. "'Where is my niece?' he demanded in a voice trembling with passion. "The young man in his turn became pale, but did not flinch. 'What do you mean?' he asked. 'I have never seen or heard anything of her since you left the house together. Her bed is untouched, and nothing in the room disturbed. She has not entered that room since she saw you. Who but you should know what I mean 'As the Lord hears me, I left her at your door last night at about 11 o'clock.' 'Had you quarreled?' asked the professor. 'No certainly not.' "'What motive could she have had then for destroying herself?' 'Destroying herself!' cried Phil, and he sank into a chair and covered his face with his bands. "Here one of the Americans spoke: 'It is almost certain she is drowned. Her hat was found on the river bank, and they are going now to drag for the body.' "'Drowned! Great heaven!', exclaimed the young man, starting up, almost beside himself with grief and horror. "The professor and his companions eyed the suspected one keenly, and the former ended up by saying: 'Young man, I should like to believe you, but I can't. The law must decide, if it can.' "In less than 20 minutes Philip Morely was arrested and in close confinement. Shall I ever forget that dreadful day? "From the banks of the river I watched the heavy jawed, silent men at their slow, fruitless work of dragging for the body. How could it be possible that between the setting and the rising of a sun such dreadful changes could have come? "How could I have ever thought this a pleasant place? Tbe water looked dark and sullen. Perhaps it was that very moment flowing over her upturned face. The sunshine glancing in through the leaves seemed a.shuddering mockery. :k,. [CONTINUED.]

THE BDWEN TAX CASE

The Sheriff of Carroll County Cited to Appear.

STORY OF THE LITIGATION.

The Sheriff Must Show Cauitc to the Supreme Court Why He Should Not Be Cited For Contempt Governor Matthews Improving—Liquor Laws Violated—Other Indiana State News.

The suit was to collect taxes due Carroll county from the Bowen estate. The suit was compromised and dismissed without the state's interests being oonsidered, it is averred. The state board of tax commissioners maintain that the state is entitled to $11,000 back taxes from the estate, and the attorney general has undertaken to collect the amount. He is endeavoring to have the old case reopened, and will also bring suit against Carroll county. There is said to be a good deal of feeling in Carroll county over the action of the state.

HARRISON-DIMMICK WEDDING. Nearly All the Details of the

Event Have

Been Arranged.

NEW YORK, April 3.—The World publishes the following: Daniel Ramsdell of Indianapolis now at the Fifth Avenue hotel, is to be one of ex-Presi-dent Harrison's two ushers at his marriage with Mrs. Dimmick next Monday. The other attendant for the bridegroom will, it is understood* be General Prank Reeder of Easton.

It is Relieved that Mr. Harrison's children will attend the wedding. They have not, however, up to this time signified their intentions in this respect.

The exact hour set for the affair is 4:30 p. m. Mrs. Dimmick will carry a cluster of white lillies. George William Warren, the organist of St. Thomas' church, will provide the music, which will be ample in character.

It is quite certain that not more than two dozen persons will witness the ceremony. Among the invited guests are Miss Dimmick, a sister of the late husband of the bride-eleot, who has lived in New York for some time, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew C. Zabriskie, who recently gave a dinner to General Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Gray, who came from Florida especially to help her old-time friend, Mrs. Dimmick, in her preparations for the wedding, and Mrs. M. F. Parker, sister of the bride-elect and wife of Lieutenant Parker, U. S. A., who is to give the bride away.

Other guests will be as many of the late ex-president's cabinet as can attend and possibly the members of the bridegroom's immediate family.

Russell Harrison and his wife are at present at Terre Haute, and Mr. and Mrs. McKee are at Indianapolis

The ex-president remained at the hotel until noon and then went out for the afternoon. He lunched with Mrs. Dimmick.

EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

A Spanish Editor Promises to Land 12,000 TroopsjOu United States Soil. NEW YORK, April 3.—A special to

The World from Madrid says: Popular excitement has been revived. The Madrid newspapers speak in terms of angry ridicule of the resolution in the United States senate that "Madman Call" as they style him. The enterprising Catalan even goes to the length of seriously offering to raise a corps of 12,000 volunteers if the government will arm, equip, and carry them across the Atlantic and land them on any coast of the United States, where the editor promises to make a raid in the interior and sustain his guerillas as soon as the Cuban belligerency is recognized.

The bishop of Oviedo's battalion of volunteers will soon embark for Cuba, 900 strong.

The government has not received confirmation of the report of Maximo Gomes's death, but Premier Canovas assures the Spanish reporters that the latest intelligence from Cuba shows that the insurgents are losing ground and courage so fast that the insurrection would be easily and promptly suppressed if the rebels despaired of recognition by the United States.

El Impartial, on the contrary, comments upon a telegram from its special correspondent in Havana reporting that General Weyler still thinks a two-years' struggle necessary to pacify Cuba. That paper complaius that General Weyler can not fully carry out his severe and indispensible policy because he fears the United States would protest. The article concludes thus "The United States want to protect the secessionists and we must conquer them. Consequently an understanding with the United States is impossible."

A HUMAN FIEND.

Four Brutal Murders Attributed to iienry F. Uastian. ROCK ISLAND, Ills., April 3.—Hun

dreds of persons visited the Bast-ain farm, which is under the possession of Sheriff Hemenway and corps of deputies. The finding of the decomposed body of John Louderboch under a pile of rubbish on the farm Wednesday strengthens the general belief that Henry F. Bastian was a human fiend, and that he committed suicide March 13 last because he feared his criminal record was about to be laid bare.

Following is a list of men who worked upon Bastian's farm and mysteriously disappeared shortly after they were paid off and discharged, and all of them are believed to have been slain by Bastian:

Fred Kuschmann, whose body was found a month ago by the road, a mile from the Bastian farm.

John Louderboch, whose remains were uncovered Wednesday, more than a year since he vanished from sight.

Fritz Kiernzen, who has not been seen or heard from since the spring of 1894.

Marshall Lewis, who also disappeared in 1S84. Bastian testified at the Kuschmann inquest that he had paid Kuschmann $79 the night of his death.

From the nature of the wounds on Kuschmann and Louderboch and the circumstances surrounding their deaths, Bastian's method appears to have been designed to avoid meeting his financial obligations.

MINERS MADE HAPPY.

Thi-y Will Be l'aid the Seventy-Cent Kiito Until December 1. PITTSBURG, April 3.—The meeting of

the joint committee of 10 miners and operators did not take place yesterday as intended. There was no work for the committee to do. It is stated that an agreement has been reached that the 70-cent rate is to prevail in the Pittsburg district during the lake season.

This is a most important announcement to the miners as it was the general impression that the price was in danger by reason of the failure to establish uniformity. The lake season will close in Novemer and as the scale for the year will be readjusted in January there will be but one month when no agreement on wages will be iu force.
