AI ISON I OLE wu wondering wliethit she might not be able to slip sway without offending Ihm- hostess, when a voice said: ".Miss Cole, may I inl e Mrs. Kynaston to you?" and in a moment she was face to fare with the one woman in the world she im -t desired to avoid. It bad come lipon In-:' su suddenly that she almost lost li. i presence of mind, and a leap of ( mi. i dyed her face so richly tin' she was peinfullj aware of it. The strange llutdcr of her heart and the mist in her eyes prevented her for a se... ml front either seeing or hearing distinctly the individual who w . i smiling and speaking to her a tall, plump woman of middle ape, welldressed, comely, with soft, shining rye. ,iii, pretty teeth. "I have long wished to know you. Miss (olc" she was saying, "fur I have heard so much about you, aud 1 love your picture! so well." "You are very kind," Alison murmured faintly. So this was the woman! She had met her at last, ufter 19 years. Ves; it "as LS years since she had played, With .lames Kynaston, in the Commonest of all tragedies, where kvc Is the hero, circumstance the villian, conscience the stalking specter. It seemed a long while 15 years when the had Debased through Keevrea :iinl hell in six months, entering with w i ties and coming out a st range eh rysnlis that wai still alive and able to notice vaguely the other curious, wingless things about it. That Klatc had not lasted either. She had moved, crawled, walked and lcarucd to feel ;in. looking bach ob the pas! aa on previous incarnation, with but a fatal sense of identity. Now a great eloud of time was lifted; the old days Were painted before her in a sudden glare Ol light She shrank and trembted. "Yon can't think whai pleasure you h avc given DM over and over again," Mrs. Kynaston treat on, gesing with frank admiration at the paling face in front of lu r; "those two last pictures of yours In Hie Academy The Way In and The W ay Out are my favorites of all. They are exquisite! The expression of the woman's eyes in the one where her lover is aeea going away in the distance haunted ess for days. How can you put such pathos and life Into mere paint and canvas? It is wonderful Kut I do not marvel to much now that I have seen you." Her eyes begged a question, but Alison could not ask it. She could only mutter: "It is very nice of you." Mrs. Kynaston, smiling sweetly, continued: . "1 our face tells me plainly that you know what suffering is, and that you are full of sympathy for those who Uffer, Am I not right?" "I it is a question of art, you kttow," faltered Miss Cole, trying not to meet the earnest eyes fixed on her. "And heart. lut it is all ainalng. I have so often longed to be clever." "Never do that!" Alison exclaimed, impetuously, adding, in a lower key: "Believe me, it is undesirable." "Undesirable! To be (lexer! You cannot bneaa it. Miss Cole, l would give the world to have your genius, Jour brain. They would have brought me a good deal of happiness that I have missed. Itut you will not underhandl can't explain." Alison felt eoJd. The woman's voice, warm and sweet as it was, had become a stabbing pain to her; Its note of sadness wrung her heart. When she opoke again her Voice was huaky, "You are, I fear, under a delusion," lie said. "The clever and talented woman is one of nature's mistakes, s freak that had better, perhaps, be strangled at her birth. Too oftsa

she m! -h nil that is worth having in lib-. Fur the simple, ordinary woman the feast is ipi ead, everything in pi spa i i d. Her notet arc nil soft ami low. in harmoaj with the normal key; the melody of lo r fate BOWS easily. Ii Is otherwise with the woasM who timls herself pitched too biyh for the USUS voice." "You mean that she seldom marries happily; that, as so few men are her superiors, she rarely meets one who can dominate her, as a husband Should, 1 have often though of thut," was (he quick replj, . ("And hg t'dd SM she was not responsive!" thought Alison. Khe said aloud, chopping her words carefully, for the WS uns thin between safety and betrayal: "That flat ters the clever woman too much. Her Superlative ness is u thing not proven. Probably the difficulty lies less often in her failure to Bad the superior man than in her fnilure to please him when she lias found him!" Mrs. Kynaston look at her a moment before replying. "You can never have failed to please any man or woman," she observed decisively, "so don't tell me that. Hut you are modest, as ull large-minded and great hearted people are. It has been a real pleasure to meet you. Miss Cole, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our chat. If you will only come to see me, I should be more than delighted. Will yon? My days are first and second Tuesdays; and if you could manage to call early, we might have a lovely talk before anyone else eonies." Alison controlled n shudder. Tall on .lames Kynaston's wife perhaps meet him there, in the home that would have been hers but for the accident of having arrived late upon the scene of his life. She smiled, and wanted to scream. "You are most kind, but I have little time I rarely call on anyone," she protested lamely. Mrs. Kynaston came to the rescue, in quick recognition of her embarrassment. "I quite understand. Of course i

OUght not to have asked you. Your time is so valuable ami you must have so many intellect ial and interred lag friends who ell w ant you badly. Besides, I know what constant labor art of any kind, dornende. My husband never hai I minute to spare. It was the thought of him that mad. me venture t.i invite you; for though I am hum drum, be is not. as you are doubtless aware, and I believe you would enjoy a chat with him. Especially SI be ml mires you so much." I "My God! How ean I L'ct aw ay from her?" thought Alison In despair. She fe t her face must blurt the truth to the eyes thai watched it with such absorbed interest.) "Kcally you are it is very kind of him tO say SO, she stammered. "O, he has never said so in words I know from his voice when he mentions yon, and from his face when anyone else speaks of you," was the prompt rcpl.v. And then there res I moment's nausc For all the world, Alison could not have spoken. Mrs Kvaaston leaned forward and took her hand. Tbev were sitting in the deep bow of a window, behind halfdrawn curtains. "May 1 make a confession to you? she pleaded softly, "and beg your forsriveness? I feel that 1 must now, ami clear mv conscience. Years ago about 15 years nowthat makes us loth seem old. doesn't it? Hut you will always be voting. Well. I had not been married long, and I was a silly goose, dreadfully in love with my hus band, and continually tormenting my self about him. The fact is. I took it - a 1 a into my head to ie jealous ingmflllly jealous- of you. Miss Cole. I thought" she slopped. Ali-on had drawn her hand au.iv Instinctively. " you are vexed, and no won der: Hut you Will forgive me. Your ki.nl eye teU nie you could not be haul on anyone. And I was only a vi m young wife. You know how blindlj girls edore, how full of romanca they are, andrubbish. Then some one came t -. ::n ami said that Jesse Mr. Kynaston had been seen with yOU at a certain place when he had told me he was going somewhere else. I lost Bay head, like the poor fool I was, and taxed him with deceiving me. He seemed confused, grew angry and blustered, as he bad never done before, and BO we bad our tirst quarrel. Don't you think there was some excuse for nie just a fraction? For though you were not famous then, 1 had beard how lovely und attractive you were, and could see that he admired you. It Only needed that horrid bit of scandal to fan the spark Into a flame. I know I ought not to have believed it, but I was a foolish, credulous girl, and anyhow, I was very soon ashamed of my jealousy and suspicion. Can you ever forgive me for wronging you so?" Alison tried to speak, but her lips trembled fatuously. She could only murmur: "Please, please don't talk like that. There is nothing to forgive I mean you yon did not wrong--you did not know me." "That was just the reason," declared the oilier woman, earnestly: "if I had known you it would all have been different 0, quite different. It is the thought of your noble life, devoted to art and to works of charity, that shames me now. I wonder how I could have been so idiotic, so wicked, as to doubt your goodness. I've long wanted to tell yon this. I've written letters to you and torn them i ovr and over again, for, though 1 wi hcil to confess and BUotoflse, it seemed an insult even to mention such a suspicion of you, to own thai I ever could have thought you the kind of wetnUU lo If your facp were not so sweet 1 should never have dsred to speak of this at nil; but It very purity shinies one Into confusion, and'

"I must go." Alison rose abruptly Her lips were diy, her voice sounded harsh, "i must n'i. You najiftt me " she sought an Impreselve Breed, and SOU Id Sad only the tame one, "un

I Off such jealousy as mine was un illness, ail agony, a fire that threat ened to burn my very life away. Whut 1 suffered! 1 cannot speak of it, even i.ow, without feeling sick and faint. There was a long and painful silerne The atmosphere seemed too heavy to breathe; each could hear the other panting softly. At last Alisor suid, with a jerk: "You feel things strongly." "Yes, and so do you. That is why I know you can understand and for- I give me. hornet lines l wonder what I should have done if"- her voice fell j to a whisper "if 1 had found out that that my suspicions were true, and he loved someone else. I- the mere thought of it almost kills me." A violent shudder passed through her frame, and the happy, comely ' face was convulsed into age and plainness for a moment. Her next words came with a gasp that was like a sob. "How weak and silly you must think me, Miss Cole. Hut you are reSponsible for this schoolgirlish outbreak. Does not everyone you meet wish to confide in you? Can anybody resist the spell of your sympathy? If I might only have you for a friend! Hut that is asking too much, 1 know. I should bore you with my uninteresting affect ion. Yet if you ever need I trustworthy friend, if I can do anything to atone for having once Wronged you in my thoughts, nothing could make me happier." She took the limp hand formally extended to her. "flood-bye," she said, with a winning smile of apology Bttd kindness still lingering about her flexible mouth: "Good-bye, 1 do hope y ou'll be happy, you deserve to be." Alison shrank as if she had receive.' a blow. She recovered herself quickly, however, and asked, on a sudden impulse: "Are you happy?" The other woman dimpled Into S laugh. "Come and see me with my children. Von will not need to ask then." Out in the air Alison Cole reeled at first, then set off BS fast as she could walk, ander driszling rain, of wiiidi she was scarcely conscious. Her thoughts Whirled deliriously. "At lat at last we've met! KivaU and enemies, by ail the laws of convention, vet tWO woinen who could have loved, and understood, and helped each other. She wanted to lie 'friend--' think of it! And my face, that told her so much, did not tell her the truth, though I writhed before her. Thanh b'i for that!

The cabman pulled up few paces off. then drove BWay vv i t h another fare. Alison walked on. "'First come, firs.- serve.' So all through life!" She laughed at this prosaic illustration of a theme for tragedy. "The tirst, not the fittest! Pecauee he met her before I crossed bis path and there is nothing to tell us what the real face of love will be Itlte when we see it. We are made ignorant, and then punished for our ignorance?

FINANCIAL POLICY IS BAD. Bstravauant War In Which Hepa. Ileum Are Huiiulna .orriHrai IfTiilra. Tight money in Wallstreet still lower price for securities und Itooka of all klnd, because many of the speculators are nan hit to borrow money at a rate that will leavr any margin of profit. So but few want to buy stocks, and those who have borrowed money on call with stock aa security are forced to BelL There sre therefore more sellera than buyers end down go the prices. When the banks call lor the money they have loan .1. it does not always mean that they want it, but they have an opportunity to loan it at a higher rate, sometimes running up to even CO per cent., aud in times of great panic even higher.

NOW, we would naturally think that all these gambling transact ioi.g did not concern the people of the United States and that therefore the gorernment and the treasury would not be interested. Ilut it appears that Secretary (läge when the late flurry occurred issued an announcement that be would receive proposals for the sale of $20,000.(X)0 of bonds, so that the cash in the treasury to that amount could be paid to the banks or to those who aold the bonds and thus add to the money that could be loaned, lie also sent the following telegram to the chairman of the Clearing House association, of New York: "Kecognizing the unfavorable influence upon general business affairs of a continued absorption into the pub- , lie treasury of revenue beyond expenditure, I have directed that ini coming internal revenue receipts be placed with national bank depositaries until a balance with each is reached equal to the par value of the bonds held as security from such depositaries. This will "divert about $5,000.000 from the treasury vaults. "The secretary will to-day invite proposals for the sale to the government of $20.000.000 of I'nited States bonds other than the new twos. It is believed that these steps will obviate the otherwise possible embarrassments which are pointed out in your telegram of yesterday." All this means that the United Sistes treasury is helping out the bull speculators by buying bick the bond at a very hlh premium, that not long ago the fOVCr 11 meat sold for par or at a small advar.ee and in addition tothat loaning them ?.". '00,000 without in terest. When it is Considered that the treasury has already loaned to the tanks nearly $100.000,e()0 without im crest, which they have hrd for ove.two years, it will be easy to understand how the banks and the trusts companies are able to pay such enormous dividends. It would appear that the United States treasury was in some way interested in these great financial institutions and was anxi; .is to s. e them accumulate all the loose money in the country, so that they can dictate the price they shall have 'o t hose who must borrow. Thus through these underground working" of the financial end of the government the people are paying at both ends; th.y pay in the money for taxes and then the government loans it to the banks without interest and the banks loan it to the people at t he high- ; est rate they ean make them pay. This Is the extravagant way in which the republicans are running the financial affairs of the government. By keeping up most of the war taxes and the high tariff they are collecting more money than they can expend even with the enormous present appropriation, and yet those who advocate revising the tariff by taking off the taxes OB th"e products which are monopolies of the trusts are denounced as dlsloj al to the government. BRYAN AGAINST VIOLENCE. Nehrnakn Lender SprnUn fr the Democracy ItestardlnK McKiiilej's Assassination. At the democratic convention of Lancaster county, Nebraska, in which Lincoln, the home el Mr. llryan. is situated, he delivered an address in which he said: "W e meet here under circumstances of distress to all parties, the result of even's at HufT.iln. 1 have been glad to see that democratic conventions over the state have been pac ing resolutions condemning the cowardly and dastardly deed. 1 am not surprised beeause al Whal has been done by democratic conventions, but 1 am glad they have done so, because there are republicans small enough to hide behind the nation's sorrow in order to make political capital out of it. "Our sympathy is as sincere and our ttnrr w just a great. We are sorry that there is to be found in this nation one man who would use force and violence to change the nation's head. There is a lawful remedy for every evil. There is not in any democratic or populist platform a single utterance that would justify any effort to change the laws by violence and bloodshed. We ire in favor of a government administered so as to bring it no near to the people, and so pliant to the popular will, that everybody may hope for redress for every wrong." That is the position of democrats all over the land and everywhere these words of the great leader will be indorsed and approved. A New York dispatch reports the international salt trust as an assured fact with a capital stock of $.S0.000,O00. This trust can make it mighty interestin; for all of us if they can eontrol the supply. Salt, beef, ham, bacon snd fish will soon be a luxury.

NOTHING BEING DONE. Measures to l unlrol the Trasfa Have Not Ueru Projected by the Hep ab I ic ana.

The plan of ex-Senator Chanfllev for controlling he trusts end rail road combines by congressional and state Isgtahtt on is no doubt the right one. but what a commentary it la upon himself and the other leader of the republican party that after long terms in congress during which the whole growth of the trust and railroad combinations has taken . a place no law has been passed, except the .Sherman law, to try and control them. Several bills have been pro i posed by democrats in congress, but the committee of the senate on inter state commerce, of which beuator Chandler was for years a member, never reported a bill to control the trusts, nor to amend the interstata commerce law, though the cominis ! sion charged with its execution have for years in their annual reports called special attention to what was required, but no action waa taken. Senator Chandler did make a fight against the anti-scalper law and with the help of the democrats, especially Senator Tillman, defeated it by dilatory tactics. A great majority of the democrats in congress have been anxious and willing to vote for anti-trust legislatloft, but the steering committee of the senate, Allison, Aldrich and Platt, j would allow no such bill to be reported. As they are still in power and all the republican senators are controlled by the railroads, it is not probable that any such legislation will be forthcoming from the next OtMBgresa. If the exigency of the republican party requires a show to be mach against the trusts, snd from the speech of the late president at Buf falo it is evident that he believed that his party must take some action, it is quite safe to say that a loophole will be left large enough for the trusts and the railroad combine to i leaps any serious damage. The whole trend of legislation since the war has been to foster monopolies and a republican politician that is not in league with the railroad and at the back of the trusts is a i ii a avis and has about as much chance of being elected to congress us water has of runniug up hill. There is satisfaction, however, in this crying aloud of Chandler over the tyranny of the trusts. He M alert to the siirns of the times and openly says that Judgment is coming upon the republican party if it does not nn nd its ways. He sees that the voters are becoming restless and that honest republicans can no longer be lulled to sleep by promises. The people are demanding action. POLICY OF THE FUTURE. What We May Kxpect from the TomIna; Administration of President Boosevelt. It would be perhaps too early to call PresldSBt Boost tell an imperialist on hat he lias said and done in the pa.st, because he may become more conservative now he has asstraed the high station and great power of president of the United States. There is no doubt, however, that the president n a very anient expansionist of the same school as the younger republican clique iu the United States senate of whom Senator Lodge and Beveridge are choice exponents, and we may fully expect a most strenuous administration of our relations with foreign affairs. But a few weeks ago Mr. Boasevelt delivered a set address at Minneapolis in which he expounded bis views of our hopts and duties as a world power Bttd lie held up the Ibnnan empire at a pattern for this country to copy, In dealing with other nafi.ms. ( ombating the opinion of what he termed some "excellent people who believe we can shirk these world duties" ami ethers "who iseh to deter us fre-ii treading the path of hard but lofty duty by bidding us li tm-m-bcr that all nations who have achieved greatness, that have ex- ' paneled and played their part as world powers have in the end passed away," he answered thil by citing that "the Kornau has parsed away exactly as all nations of antiquity which' did not expand when he expanded have passed away, but their verv memory has vanished while he himself is still a living force throughout ths Srids world la our entire Civilisation Of tO-day and will so continue through countless generations through untold ages." Mr. Koosevelt went further than It 1' a anil ten if it was the duty of cirilized nations to conquer barharou. ones ami Siiuoue iijciii n v . . ...... and claimed this was what we were doing in the Philippine and would hftfl to do elsewhere. When he was sworn in as president he took special occasion to say that the policies of the late administ rat ion would be fully carried out, so that, we may look forward to an even j more strenuous, imperial policy, reciprocity, and no revision Of the tariff to control the trusts, ship subsidies and a general favoring of the monev power and monopolies and no legislation in the interest of the common people. This is the on! look, but it is to be hoped that lYcsident BoOBSfelt will ace more light on at least some of these weighty matters. j Xhe negro pollticlsn in the north It a troublesome epiestion to the republican politician; they all want, on ofloa, in the south their only worry is how much it will eott every four years to Hx the delegates to national couren-Uoua-

The f oesUs in the !' ck . the an inurement of the strata of toil, the signs of channels Prora by rlver, all show the preat age of (Jm world. Some students have talked sbont millions of years as included in the world's history, but conservative geologists' believe that present processes have lieen going on lOf from 90,000 to 50,000 years, and that there have been nu n in the World for not less than 10,000 years. The monuments of ancient peoples also prove that the date assigned to the deluge ly the Bible margin is many hundreds, if not thousands, of years too late. Some h'h authorities on the history of Egypt place the earliest known events in that history as early as 1!. C 5S00.
