the ioint of listening to reason, the
poor lily's joy burst ft.rth in touching gratitude to Horace's friend. Hut it
was short-lived joy. At the end of a fortnight she came ta.lSristed. oale with
agitation, and communicated the dire Intelligence that Mrs. McPherson had
appeared in person on the cene: that
he was following Horace up.
"I suppose she feels that the bov has

her righteous indignation, "it is
too shocking, the vulgar forwartlmessof silch people. I do not fancy that she
eally cares for Horace, you, know. It
is his moneythat is what she wants to
secure. She nows the boy has just come into his grandfather's property. And she Is poor; they saj though she lives with an appearance of luxury, that she is absolutely impecunlousC Her husband, it would seem, left her nothing whatever.' "I imagine there is no doubt about that," said ltrtsted. And then Mrs. Lakely came to her point Would Mr. Urkted go to this "person" and try to convince her that the family strenuously ebjeoted to the proposed marriage, and that every thing would lie done to bring it to naught? Would he try to persuade her to give Horace up. to relinquish her hold of a young fellow a mere boy much her junior, who ought not to lie thinking as
yet of matrimony under any circum
stances? Would he appeal to her rood
feeling, if she had any? Would he My dear Mrs. Lakely, any thing to
oblige you. but I don't know
Oh, don't say so," interrupted the
poor lady. "I have such confidence in
your ability to straighten matters out
for us."
A day or two later this conversation
resulted in a visit from Hristed to the
hotel where Mrs. Mcl'herson wa teat porarily registered.
It was not in this young man's nature
to look forward with much relish to the
interview. He felt that he had before
him something extremely distasteful.
It is even possible that he was inclined
to take some credit to himself when he
reflected upon the trouble b was at to oblige his friend's family and to keep
the boy himself from a piece of folly he
should spent the rest of his life In regret
ting. Hut in another way he accounted
himself repaid for any thing he might
da even In1 fore it was done. For noth
ing could be sweeter or fairer or more
charming than Cecilia Lakelv, Horace's young sister. She was a mere school-
rirl, to be sure, but Hurlburt Hristed
admired the type. An ingenious young
girl was to him the most delightful
thing in nature. And he smiled often
a he took himself to Mrs. Mcl'lierson's
hotel In remembrance of certain warm,
shy glances which had fallen from those dove-like eyes these latter times since he bad Iwon exerting himself so much in her brother's behalf. In helping
Horace he was really wooing in "the
surest way. if indirectly, the elusive
flower of this young creature's love.
He was still thinking of Cecilia as he
at waiting for Mrs. Mcl'herson to ap
pear. He was. Indeed, so much en
grossed in his reveries that ho looked
up only when the ladv he bad come to
see stood ckwe In front of him. fehe
had entered softly by a door at the .side
of him. As he rose a little confusedly she covered him suddenly with a won
derful smile.
It was the perfection of a smll. It
was brilliant, it was appealing, it was arch, it was even a little sad.
The young widow it was impossible
net to think of her as younger than she was stood there an instant and then
sunk In a chair opposite her visitor. She
begged him to resume his seat, she .seemed to wait, still with that unusual, that almost harmonious smile, for him
to begin. From her presence, at once
assured ami unobtrusive, animated and
reposeful, from her delicate toilet, there emanated an aroma, as it were, which
flattered all the sense.
I lwlieve you are Horace Lakely's
great friend," said this gracious creat
ure, in a well-modulated voice. If the

ways betray toe aame iMuMMt f t-ulture, it o happened that Ilulbert Ilr'l-d (albeit he had the reputation of aotleittg viry thing) did not oUrve ta fact. Tim next day Mrs. Lakely awaited ItrUtM's prtUd vWt with eager lav patieae. Cecilia, looking vrry lovely la a whit drMM (Hristed hud one remarked that she should alway wear whit it wa becoming u her), was sitting with her mother, and shot a ex-t-reMivu glanea at the door when it opened. "Well. Mr. riwd, well," demand 1 Mm. Lakely. "have you good new for me? Will Kb- go away and leave my boy in peace?" Cecilia, who had risen and remained
standing, in a certain hesitancy, left the room. "I den' t know that I can tell van
thing very deMnite, my, dear madam." observed ItrUied omAhat slowly. "Oh, what do you I hope the wretched rMm does not refuse to loanen her hold of Horace?" cried Mrs. Label y. "No, no. It is hot that not at all. Reassure yourself. Only-" Hristed interrupted himself. H begXH again; "1 Imagine she wiU, as you express it, lon her hold of Horace.

jnwu, .Mrs. ljtaciy would have late cied that he looked embarrassed.

"Why, nothing could J more evident! I thought we were agreed on that pointMr. Hristed.' "On Horace's being most anxious tc marry Mrs. Mcl'herson ves." amend. :

And again, referring to his proposal to retain the sugar duties for the purpose of trading them off for commercial favors from the , Latin-Americana, he says: "Here is an opportunity for a Republican Congress to open the markets ef forty millions of j people to the products ef American farmers. Shall we seise the opportunity or shall we throw it away" Mr. Main directs special attention to our trade with the Spanish possessions of Cuba and Porto Kieo, from
which we get nearly or quite one-half of the sugar we consume. He condemns ! the policy of admitting sugar from them , free without insisting that our agricultural products shall be admitted to them , free. He would have Mr. Frye and others believe that the American farmI er would bo ''undeniably, richly bene-
flted" by a dicker for the free admls- ) sion of our agricultural products into , Culm and For to Kieo In return for the , free admission of sugar from those islands into the United States. I If we look into the matter a little we ! will discover that Mr. Iitaine, as usual, ignores all the facts that fail to support his contention. The principal American agricultural product imported into those islands is wheat flour, and the
most of it goes to Cuba. In 1887, the last year for which we have returns, the : value of flour imported into Cuba was 1 f,S81,45.i, of which $1,145,358 was from , Spain and $1,786,100 was from this country. Porto Rico buys enough flour, perhaps, to bring up the total importation into the two islands to S3, 000,000. To be liberal, call It $5,000,000, We import from them about $44,000,000 worth of sugar. Mr. Maine does not state these facts to Mr. Frye. That gentleman

He belongs to that class of men not a numerous elass, thank Heaven who have neither personal pride nor sense of decorum. He is always seeking for some occasion to show what slights have been put upon him, real or imaginary. .He delights in exposing his folly in public. In addition to this he is always fawning upon his superiors, but never hesitates to betray them, if to his own interest to do so. Twice he came to Chicaro conven
tions for the purpose of supporting John Sherman, and twice he so managed his campaign as to lay himself open to charges of treachery. His conduct of the last rubernatorial campaign in Ohio, in which he was so decisively defeated, was infamous to an extent hitherto unknown even in corrupt Republican politics. He outdid Quay himself. He ' connived at a forgery by which he sought to int- I
