The little den was coy by the light of an OVel Are for 't seemed to be one function of the tail, pink-petticoated lamp to make much darkness visible; and Nelly was almost like the Nelly I had known, with Iter eager talk of home folks and familiar seines. sin- asked about my mother 'a illnees and death that had lu id ma so long in the w.st. and her preat eyes grew dim and soft with tears, and slits looked at Ii. e lii. i- a to,,;, l. ss griev ing; until. sw i t as Was her sympathy.

"I didn't know what I was doing, did I," I said, "when your father used to pay: 'Bright gal. aint she'.'

Then as Hie tWO became aectistomed to the light. 1 saw what I had neTVously expected, There was a little start, an odd moment of embarrassment. They gaed at Helen with quick wonder at her loveliness, then turned away to hide their surprise. It was as if in the few days since they had seen her for the new comers were Kitty's brother and Miss Pryant of whom every one speaks as "Cadg'"- Helen's beauty had so blossomed that Bt freak sight ol her they Struggled with Incredulous amarcnient almost as a stranger might have done.

Rolling up a aewspaper and seizing m bit of charcoal from the drawing table, she bent time with both hands, launehing suddenly into au air which she rendered with dramatic expression as rare as her abandon. "Applaud! Applaud!" she cried, clapping her own hands at the end of a brilliant pnssage, her colorless, irrt gular lace alive with nthusissm, heT black eyes snapping. "If you don't applaud, How do y ou expect me to sing? Yog plaudite!" "I'll appland when you've surely Stopped," said Kitty Heid, demurely; "but before we begin an evening of grand opera, I want you to hear the princess, Helen, you know you promised." "Nonsense!" exclaimed Helen, colorinc at the title. "1 can't sing before , Cadge; but if you like, I'll play foi you. See if I'm not improving In mj 1 tremolo." Helen did not sing in the old days, I so that I was not surprised at In r re- ' fatal. Taking her mandolin, she i tinkled an air that I have often luard Vi. r n'.nv but neither I nor anyone else had tars for it, so absorbed was the sense of light. Her long lashes swept luT cheeks af the bent forward in the firelight, her vivid Coloring subdued by the aoft. nlavinsr irlow to an elusive charm. At una moment, as the Samoa gJohxared into stronger life, her beauty s. eased to grow fuller and to have an oriental softness and vvnrmth; the next, the light would die iiway. and in the cooler, grayer, fainter radtance, her per ft et grace of cl-assic out line made hti at in statue Galatee just coming tt life, more beautiful than the dsughti ri of men, hr great loreUness delioateij spiritualized.

In B voice that began Kittv in a tremulously low and fait-, ring, and slowly gained courage, she sang the ballad she had been phsylag. It was easy to see that she was not a musician; but, aa she forgot bet listeners, we forgot everytbinff but her. Miss Bryant put down the compasses and scale rule she bad been restlessly fingering, and her keen eyes softer. ed and dilated.

It Is well to advocate self-reliance, independence of character and ambition, it is well to discourage DB all occasions the spirit of envy, eov. tousne-s and malice, but shy ignore the practices in our official life from which thest offens s come? It i nn fortunately true that there areyoungmen In America as nnmistahabiy bom to provoke this spirit as imiuy others are to iiiherit it. It is likely to be the case. toOi when men see etT ets and not causes that they misjudge the spirit with which they have to content:. Not all of the opposition to the injustice of the republic an party is to be attributed to uncbarItnbleneaa. Not all of the protests leveled at the republican party's favoritism are to be explained as the outgrowth of envy, despair and heipleanUi ss.

TAXES OF THE WAR.

Trau pit re Ii I s.heu.r of llrpi Trlekslrr Iu Itult Ihr Pwmtoa hi let The republioana in cotigreaa evtdeutly intt ml to make a litt.e reduction of the war taxation to a good way. The republican platform promised the people a retluction, but re publican platforms are often made to get in on, not to stand on. The house of repreeeatatleee haa passed a bill which makes a slight reduction, but even tins disappointing ly small reduction is held up in a seuate committee, from which it seems unlikely to emerge. Meantime, the cost of the operations in the Philip pines continues at a figure which must eat up a heavy slice of the war taxes. In addition, the scale of national expenditure is evidently to be lavish. bills to enlarge the army. t enlergej the navy, to Increase the pension list, to grant l elvi pen-ion. to grant big subsidies, and to "improve" rivers and harbors everywhere, are the order of the day. Congress men talk in billions nowadays. The other day a prominent congressman declared that a r'ver ami harbor bill appropriating $100.00(1.(100 could easily be passed at the prCM i t II Baton, anti he wondered at the congressional moderation. No Ilinglcv tariT will provide for any such amount of expenditures. The Dingley tariff scheme was on the point of eo lapsing when the Spanish war of 8M enabled the republican party to iinise war taxes and cunninir'y cover up the failure. By all indications "prosperity" and "expansion" are to be the synonyms, during Mr. McKinley 's second term, for a wastefulness and corruption not equaled since the second term of (irant.
