A QUEER RACE.

A STORY OF A STRANI0E PEOPLE.

BY WILLIAM WESTALL.

invade us again—at any rate, not in our time. Well, tills victory we owe tb you— "No. no! If you hail only seen how pluckily those young fellows fought, how splendidly they captured the gap, you would know better. 1 really did very lit-

tle.”

"I give our young soldiers all the credit they deserve; yet 1 am sure that but for the way in which you organized and let! them we should not have won the victory. They all say so; I say so, too, and I forbid yon to contradict mo. You have behaved splendidly, and I want to know what recompense we can olTor you.” ‘‘Recompense*” "Yes; what shall he done to the man whom the queen delights to honor!"’— smiling. "Let him go home.” The smile vanished, and was replaced by an angry frown. “Let him go home! You want to leave us, then?” "Don’t put it in that way, please. I shall be very, very sto ry to leave you; but I have friends in England, and an old mother, who is a widow. I am her only son, and if she thinks 1 am dead, it may bring her gray hair with sorrow to the grave. It is my duty to go home—If I can.” "And among these friends there is one perhaps dearer even than your mother?” "Not at all. There is nobody’ else I care very much about, or who cares much about me. I dare say all the others have pretty nearly forgotten me already.” "How would you go,” “if you would point ont the position of the island on the map, and lend me the •Sunflower,’ and a few men, I think Bolsover and I could navigate tier to some port where we should And vessels—possibly a steamer bound for England.” “And you would never come back?” "That depends. I should be very sorry— 1 mean I should hope to come buck—sometime.” “Sometime?” "I mean that I am a poor man, and have my way to make in the world, and I might not be able to come back so soon as I could

like.”

Mab seemed much agitated. She rose from her chair, walked excitedly up and down the room, then returned and sat near me, at the head of the sofa. “I have a confession to make and a question to ask,” she said, in a low. tremulous voice. “I know it is not usual in England, but here, in Fair Island— I thought—1 mean that I did not intend—but now that you want to go home—and it is right you should—1 must. Has it never occurred to you—have you not seen” (impetuously) "that—tliat I love you—love you with all my heart, and that I should be glad—oh, so glad!—to be your wife? Say, now, have you never thought of this?” This avowal took me so completely by surprise that I knew not what to say— could hardly think, in fact—for in my wildest dreams it had never occurred to me that it would ever enter into Mab’s mind to make me a formal offer of her hand and heart. "You do not answer—yon are angry with me!” she exclaimed, in a broken voice. “You think I am unmaidenly. You do not love me. Well, be it so”—averting her face; that face which had never seemed to me so beautiful. “No, no, no!” I said, taking her hand and pressing it to my lips. "Not until this moment did I know how dear you are to me; and if I had known I should not have dared to speak. You are a grand woman, a true queen, my queen, and I love yon as you say you love me-with all my heart.” “As I say I love you! Oh, how little you know?—” I drew her toward me and put, my arm round her neck. “Do not think that I shall ask you to forego your visit to your mother. I will go with yon to England.” •You will go \sith me to England!” ‘Do you think I would let you go alone? Now that we are no longer in fear of a Carit) invasion, I can easily be spared for a few months. And I want to see England. We are very backward. We must have more books, and a printing press and machinery, and other things. And when we come back you shall take part with me in the government. We will abolish slavery —I have been reading ‘Uncle Tom's Cab-

in.’”

"I am delighted to hear you say so. But what will the slave-owners say*” If for every slave I give them a horse they will say nothing; they will be quite content. And I shall buy horses.” "Tliat will be a very costly operation. You will want a great deal of money.” “I have a great deal. First of all, there is the treasure, wiiich is worth I don’t know how mu h, and 1 have pearls enough for a

king’s ransom.”

Pearls, Mab! Where on earth did

get them?”

They came ont of the sea. There is a W-ry valuable pearl fishery on the south side of the island. But it has not linen fished for a long time, partly because we had as many |>enr!s as we wanted, partly because my father feared they might create a craving for riches and luxury, and possibly bring other evils in their train. But if we can exchange them for something useful, and they enable us to abolish slavery, the good will more than outweigh any probable harm. Don’t you think so?”

"Certainly.”

“You can exchange fine pearls for money in England, 1 suppose?” “Of course you can. To any extent you

like.”

“Then we will take a lot with us; buy, with the money they bring, the things we need, and pay for the ‘Diana’s’ cargo. 1 think I would rather nut touch tiie treasure; for Sybil says tliat so long as it remains on the island the commonwealth will endure. I don’t quite believe all she but she is a wise woman, and nobody ever neglects her warnings with impunity.” “The pearls will do quite as well, though it does st-em a pity to let all that money lie idle. Properly invested, it would produce a large income. However, you are perhaps right. You have everything you need, and enough is a» good as a least. But vvimt will Field and the others say to your idea of making a trip to England? It was only the other day tin/! the mere suggestion

They think

you were sent purposely to save the commonwealth; and the fact of your having survived so many dangers is regarded as a proof of the Divine favor—for our people,

though, as you may think, rather superstitious, are essentially religious. They liave often urged me to marry, and our marriage and your undertaking to become one of us would reconcile them to anything. And we can concede so far to their prejudices and the injunctions of my ancestor of sacred memory as to bring no strangers back with us and keep secret the whereabouts of the island.” • • • • • • A few weeks later we were quietly married by the queen’s chaplain, a lineal descendant of the chaplain of his Britannic Majesty’s ship “Hecate,” and the next day we left Fairhaven on our way to England. Having ascertained the exact position of the island, we had no difficulty in shaping the “Sunflower's” course for n not very distant port, where, as I knew, wo could obtain a passage to London or S nithamtvton. Old Tom went with us, but merely as sailing-master; he liked the island so well that he had determined to settle there for life. Our crew consisted of half a dozen fishermen, whose faces were so bronzed by exposure to sun and wind that the peculiarity of their complexions was not likely to be remarked, especially as the port whither we were bound possessed a mixed and many-colored population. The "Sunflower” was to take back a cargo of horses; and I arranged with Bolsover to meet us on our return from England, the date of which we fixed approximately beforehand. As I anticipated, we had not long to wait for a homeward-bound steamer. Our voyage to the Thames was unmarked by any incident of importance. A high-fitting dress, and a foulard carefully adjusted and continually worn, prevented tiie peculiar color of Mab’s neck from being much noticed. But her tall stature, splendid proportions, ami powerful face, and, I am bound to add, her somewhat imperious manner, could not escape observation: and owing to the acuteness of her senses she often overheard remarks, complimentary and the reverse, which gave her more annoyance than amusement. For this reason. and for others which wilt suggest themselves to the reader, I decided to leave her in London while I went to Liverpool to see my mother and Inform her of what hqd happened to me. But on my arrival thither I found, to my great grief, tliat she had died a few weeks previously. It was. however, a consolation to know that her death was in no way connected with my absence; it arose from an organic complaint of long standing, and up to the last moment of her life she had cherished the iiope of seeing me again. After settling her affairs and calling on poor Mrs. Peyton, I rejoined my wife, and we left London immediately. Although the great city interested her much, she found life there intolerable, and was lieginning to suffer seriously in health. The never-ceasing din distressed tier beyond measure; she could hear voices through an ordinary wall as distinctly as 1 could hear them t irough n paper partition; hear a cough in the atti •, a ticking watch in tiie oasement,. In the hotels at which we stayed I had to engage the rooms both above and below ours, and on either side of them, in order that they might be unoccupied. But I could neither suppress the noises outside, nor purify the air inside; an i the queen’s sense of smell being as acute ns her other senses, she suffered even more from the evil odors of London than its incessant racket. So for the short remainder of our stay in England I took a furnished villa near Pentn.aenmnwr, where the only sounds which Mab was compelled to hear were tiie murmur of tiie waves, the soughing of the wind, and the singing of birds, and where the air, though less balmy, was as pure as that of Fair Island Itself. Before leaving London I sold some fifty thousand pounds’ worth of pearls, and purchased such tilings as Mab thought her people most required. To the managing owners of the “Diana.” I remitted a bank draft for the declared value of her cargo, with no other explanation than that, although the ship herself tiad become a total wreck. I had been so fortunate as to dispose of the cargo for an amount that, I was glad to think, would recoup the underwriters the greater part of the claims for which they were liable. To one friend only—an old school-fellow whom I accidentally met in London—did I Introduce my wife and tell my story. To this gentleman, moreover, my book, if 1 may call it mine, will owe its existence. Himself a pressman and awriterof stories, he was good enough to say that my personal narrative, "put into proper shape.” might make a readable book; and lie offered, if I would give him tiie necessary particulars, to act ns its literary sponsor, and see the work through the press. Mab and I, after some hesitation, agreed to this proposal, making it, however, an imperative condition that the precise whereabouts of tiie island should on no account be disclosed—for the present. The first and ureater part of mv narrative was then taken down in short-hand; the remainder I have written on ‘he voyage out; and as I add these lines, Bolsover is waiting with the "Sunflower” to convey us and a second consignment of horses to Fair Island. in the not distant future I hope that Mab and I may have so far overcome her people’s prejudice against strangers, and their iuve of isolation, liiai. wu shall be permitted to say where we are, and in some future edition of "A Queer Race” invite those of my readers who may feel so disposed to pay us a visit in our island home. THE END.

ADKLLI'TS AH STAKE. “And you have made up your mind to refuse George Emerson?”asked littleClarice Mallory, as she looked up at Adelle Rivers’ proud, beautiful fac n . "Think well before you throw away the love of such a man.” Adelle laughed softly and shook her handsome head. "You are full of romantic ideas, my dear. Wait until you have been ont three seasons, like me, and have learned the value of money. Then you will not believe so much in the romance of love in a rntt ige,” and she laughed again, lint there was more bitterness than mirth in its sound. “Yot you were content to lead him on month after month,” continued the other. “You made him believe you loved him; and see how it has all ended,” looking reproachfully ont of her brown eves at Adelle. who was rocking seriously back and forth in her chair as if she began to feel her coward conscience. “(“.trice, I do love him,” she exclaimed, pa u s!omteiy, at la»* "Bit* we should l«> miserable attempting to Jive on his salary. Why, I spend more on trifles now for myself. I must not lot my heart run away with my head.” “But, Adelle, we nil have to make saeriflees in this world,” sai l Clarice, rising and putting her arm round Adelle. "It will be only for a short time, perhaps. George holds an honorable position, and it is far

safer to marry him than one who Is a millionaire to-day perhaps and a beggar tomorrow. If you love him, Adelle, think ot how he must suffer. My heart aches for him,” said Clarice, in a trembling voice, and her eyes filled with tears. “Oh. do go away, C.urice—you make me nervous. If you keep o:i in that strain we will have a scene directly, and you know how I detest scenes. I think you’re half in love with George Emerson, Clarice, end If you feel so sorry for him why don’t you try to catch his heart in tiie rebound?” Adelle’s last sentence was uttered snoeringly, and Clarice shrank away from her as if she had received a blow. "Oh. Adelle!” was nil she said, as she cov-red her burning face with her hands. "Now, little Brown Eyes, don’t net silly. Come, let’s go in the house—it Is chidy out here.” and Adelle led the way out of the summer-house. As the girls walked aeross the lawn a gentlemen stepped around fi thesideof the summer-house. It was George Emerson. He was passing the summer-house, "'hen his attention was attracted by the mention of his .name. Naturally endugh tie stood and listened and over!.card the conversation between Adelle and Clarice. A look of mingled bitterm ss and disgust was on his face as he watched the tall, queenly figure; hut as his eyes wandered to Clarice Mallory, his features underwent a change. The bitter expression was gone, and the cold, glittering gleam disappeared from tiie depths of his blue eyes. Perhaps his heart was caught on the rebound. Who knows? “I suppose yon haven’t heard the news?" said Mr. Mallory, C..trice's fither, to his family and guests assembled at the breakfast table next morning. "George Emerson's uncle died and has left him an immense fortune.” Everybody was surprised. Clarice looked over at Adelle. who sat opposite. Her face was as white as death, hut she made no comment on Mr. Emerson’s good for-

tune.

About an hour after Clarice was alone in the sitting-r «ini. There was a sad, troubled expression hi her brown eyes, and her dimpled chin rested in the palm of her hand. She was thinking of George Emerson. “if tills news hnd only come a day sooner Adelle would have acted differently,” said Clarice, with a sigh. “And I would be a miserable man for the remainder of my life,” said a pleasant voice behind her. “Mr. Emerson!” cried Clarice, ns she ros'-*, in confusion. “1 didn’t hear you coming in.” “Perhaps I wanted to surprise you,” said Mr. Emerson, smiling. “Are you not going to congratulate me on my good fortune?”

“DEMOCRATIC TIMES.’

The Country Is Enterini? Upon an Era of Unexampled Prosperity

And the Occupation of the Calamity

Howler Is Gone.

Republican Papers and Republican Leaders Acknowledge That the Advent of Good Times Has Come Through the Knactinent of the New Tariff—Factories Resume Operations in all Directions and Give Steady Kinployment to Labor. The Hanks Let Loose of Their Hoarded Treasure and Business Everywhere Begins to Doom—Democratic Times at

Hand.

Republican orators and Republican papers have had a great deal to say in the past year about “Democratic times,” though all the while the country was suffering from the effects of Republican legislation. This talk has suddenly ceased. The reason is not hard to discover. At last the Democrats in congress, after a long and desperate struggle against the Republican obstructionists, have succeeded in placing genuine Democratic legislation on the national statute books. Tho consequent benefits were instantly discernible. Business, which had so long groaned and sickened under tho blighting influence of laws enacted by Republican congresses for the benefit of the protected barons, the trusts, the combines and the grasping corporations, immediately began to revive; wheels in the factories begun to revolve; wage differences between employer and employe were quickly adjusted and the toiling masses not only resumed work hut also realized an additional benefit in the increased purchasing power of their wages given by the reduced tariff duties. The revival of business and industry in the past 30 days is really phenomenal. Factory towns arc manifesting their old activity, merchants are pushing their trade and the banks are already putting into circulation the money which has so long been idle in their vaults. Democratic times have come sure enough.

“I wish it had come yesterday," said Clarice, her eyes hidden away under the drooping lids. “Yes, that's what I heard you say a moment ago, but I’m very glad it didn’t. Clarice, do you want to make me the hat*- j piest man in creation?” and he took Clar- | ice’s hand in his. “I wish I could. Mr. Emerson,” said Clarice, wonderingly. “Clarice, I love you! Will you share my fortune with me? Will you be my wife?” "Mr. Emerson, I thought—I thought—” and Clarice hung her head and tried to release her hand from George Emerson’s

grasp.

"You thought I was in love with Adelle? Yes, Clarice, men often make fools of themselves by loving with their eyes. Until yesterday I hadn’t sense enough to know what a precious jewel was near me all these mouths.” George Emerson told Clarice what he had overheard in tho summer-

house.

“Will you be my wife, Clarice?” he replied, as he drew her toward him. “Yes,” she whispered, hiding her blushing face on his shoulder. Just then a footstep sounded in the hall. Somebody was coming, and Clarice hastily disengaged herself from her lover’s embrace, and (led from the room. As she stepped out in the hall she met Adelle, but she hurried past her, not daring to trust herself to speak. George Emerson was standing where Clarice left him when Adelle entered the

room.

Her eyes were downcast, and her beautiful face was tiie picture of sorrow as she walked over to him and laid her hand ou his arm. “George, I’ve been wretched since I parted with yon yesterday. I’ve been watching for your coming all the morning. I want to tell you tliat 1 have changed tny

mind.”

“So have 1, Miss Rivers. I am going to marry Clarice Mallory.” Miss Rivers’ feelings can better be imagined than described.

Drpcw’fi Testimony. And tlu>y have come to stay. Business men recognize it, mechanics and laboring men recognize it, farmers recognize it: yes, oven tho Republican piliticians who have been doing nothing but howl “calamity” for two years recognize it and are ceasing their dismal CD takings. Here is Chuuncey Depew, who has himself interviewed iu Europe on the situation. Depew says: The settlement of the tariff question is the beginning of a new era of prosperity. There is no end of idle money which will now seek active employment. In less than two years the panic of 1S03-1H will be forgotten. Mines, furnaces, mills and factories will be in full operation, railroads will lie conveying profitable traffic and the movement of internal commerce and tiie free circulation of currency or tiie equivalent in business and wages will certainly increase the demand for everything produced upon the farm or elsewhere. We are ripe for a long period of prosperity in business, good wages and full employment for labor. However, this testimony of Depew wasn’t necessary to inform the people of the United States that times were better since tiio passage of tho tariff bill, nor to convince them that wo were, us a nation—thanks to the wisdom of Democratic legislation—about to enter on an i ra of unexampled and genuine prosperity; a prosperity which, being founded on right principles, is bound to endure. The telegraphic columns of tho papers arc full of it. Every day the telegraph brings news of the resumption of operations by big factories, the establishment of new industries and the improved condition of trade. The St. Louis GlobeDemocrat, one of the ablest as well as one of the most intensely partisan Republican papers in the land, says of the situation; Two or three months hence the improvement in business will he so marked and so persistent that the croakers of today will lie confounded and humiliated. Partisan capital cannot be made out of the gloomy vaticinations which emanate from certain Republican journals and statesmen at this

time.

Tiie Improvement In Indiana. In Indiana the improved business situation is most marked. The Indianapolis Journal, intensely Republican, contains daily testimony to the improved condition of trade. In its weekly review of the situation in Indianapolis are found the-' i statements, among othersThe Rock wood Manufacturing company reports Imsiness improving. This week it shipped a sawmill to Hayti, one of the Wi st India islands, one to Kentucky, one to Tennessee and two to Missouri. It also made a large shipment of pulleys to the Pratt A: Whitney company, Hartford, Conn. All the departments are running full time, and the company is esm-ciully busy in its foundry, having just booke i several large orders for gray iron castings. Ixive Brothers, proprietors of the Indiana cotton mill, are preparing to iaerease their production by putting in HiOniore looms. Although the cauners of fruit and vegetables will not put up two-thirds as ninny goods this season us last owing to the drought which cut off crops, they are ju t now plulling business, giving einploynient to some l,5uo men and women. Tiie manufacturers of bicycles are much surprised that their hits?nev is keeping up so well. Usually all are shut down in August and September, but now they are runuhig with fair forces. Tiie Hoosier woolen mills are running. They have orders to keep them busy the next five weeks, and hope before that time to have orders to keep them running in their present manner for a longer time. Furniture dealers report an improved inquiry for new goods and, as one of them puts it, can begin to see n little clear sky. President Bennett of the Imbnimiiolis Stove company says the vvoiks are now fairly busy and the company is well satisfied with the results of its business in Au-

gust.

Knight & Jillson say they have no reason to complain of their Imsiness. The representatives of threshers and engiiiiM in this city, of which there are n

number, are just closing their business year, and find to their surprise that fully as many engines and thrashers have lieeu sold this year as In the year ending Aug.

The Diamond plate-glass factory at Elwood has started up the remaining departments of the plant, and it is now running at full capacity. At Mancie Muring, Hart & Go., win-, dowglasamaki-rs, started with 250 bauds i Sunday night; Ball Bros, started started : Monday night with K50 hands and all > the greenglass factories with full forces. ; At Greenfield the Samuel R. Wells and i the Columbia windowglass works have resumed, giving employment to 300

hands.

At Anderson the Riverview Farm Im-

plement company of Brantford, Ont., lias secured a legation and broken ground

tha;

for its factory. It will employ 200 hands. Pittsburg capitalists have completed arrangements for establishing at Anderson a tinplate factory to employ 500

hands.

Tin- wire nail factory at Anderson is,/ working night and day, .employing 000 hands. All the windowjfiass factories start up on the 20th and every factory iu Anderson will then 1m- running. At Anderson the Anderson iron and bolt works resumed operations last week with its old force of 250 men. At Noblesville the American Carbon works were awarded a contract for 1,000,000 carbons for the Milwaukee electric company and not only employed all of its old force without reduction of

wages but will have to employ more

men.

At Cicero the Modes company glass works resumed last week with 275 men and no cut in wages. A Philadelphia dispatch to the Republican Indianapolis Journal says: There was a general resumption in the glass business in South Jersey today, and by Wednesday there will hardly be an idle glass factory at Millville, Clayton, Williumstown, Glassboro, Malaga, Bridgeton and Woodbury. All the factories went j* into full blast. The coming season prom 4| ises to be the best for years in the glass trade, and the outlook for continued work throughout the season is excellent. Tho work is being started on a very satisfactory basis to all. Most of tiie larger factories have orders now on their books to run throughout the year.

Money Again Moving.

Not only is there a boom in the manufacturing business, but all kinds of trade is flourishing and the bank statements are daily bearing testimony to the trade revival. The Evansville Courier, in an able editorial review of the situa-

tion, says:

The Courier a few days ago showed that in the wool schedule alone the people were relieved by the bill of $1+1,000,000 a year which lias heretofore beta taken from their pockets and given to the woolen manufacturers. This is the largest item of saving in the bill but it is doubly effective be- I cause while free wool reduces the burdens of the people to that extent it also takes from the arch of protection its keystone. All business men of the country fully appreciate this fact. They understand that tiie long reign of protection is nearing an end and that the most ordinary business prudence requires of them tliat they adopt their future business policy to the new conditions inaugurated by the new law. It is a significant proof of this statement *" that the loans made by the banks of the country were larger in extent last week than (luring the same week of IK'.i-*. This result is a most gratifying surprise. No one doubted that there would be marked improvement over the same week of last year, but that it should surpass the same week of 18H2, eight months before the panic set in. exceeds the expectations of those who were the most sanguine in forecasting the immediate results of the enactment of the new tariff law. There is a gain of nearly tfiO.OOO.OoO in tiie loans and discounts of last week as compared with the same date in 18!+.'!, and a gain of nearly $3,nnn,(MO as compared with the same date in 181+-J. The figures as shown by the last statement of the banks in the New York Clearing House association showed a total of loans and discounts to the amount of $+8!+,879,900. Tiie figures for tiie corresponding date in 1893 were $+U0,109,300 while those for 1893 were *187,101,700. The only year since 1884 in which the loans and discounts have exceeded $100,000,000 was in 1881), so that as a result of the new tariff law the total loans and discounts at the date of tiie latest statement of the New York clearing house is tiie largest that the country has known since 188+. Of course this increase in the loans and discounts argues that there must also have been an increase in the deposits and the same statement shows t hat the deposits were larger at the lieginning of September, 1894, than at the beginning of (lie same month during any of the past 10 years. The increase** over deposits of a year ago is 8212.000.000

Another feature of the business revival worthy of consideration, is the rapid increase of foreign trade which had been so discouraged and depressed through the malign influences of tho McKinley bill. Touching on tins is the following special dispatch from the lu-

diauapuiis Joumm:

From reports received at the state de-! partniciit it appears that the United States i lias at least turned tiie tables on England i I nnd is now shipping to that country car- ' pels to the value of nearly $500,000 annually. To make tiie (‘ase si ill stronger, it is stated that these carpets are the famous Axniinistcrs, sup|M>sed heretofore to lie produced in perfection only in England, mill tiie trade is steadily increas-

“These Democratic Times.** J Tin- country lias fallen on "Demo- 1 cratic times" sure enough. And within J 80 day* tha rejoicing th< reat will be loud**i and general.
