Kose Terry Cooke. WEYAND'S WIFE. II Y should I waste any more thought on Isabel rteecc?" said Vance Weyaml, as he sat smoking In bis study one night "A f t e r promising to marry me, she chose a man who had more money. I'll take a run over to see Malvern to-morrow; he'll cheer me up. Tell him that I mean to marry again, and speedily." He found on reaching Malvern house he next day that he had come too late. H.3 dearest friend was dead. Vance stood at the window trying to realize what this Intelligente might jnean to him, when the door opened to mdruit a girl dressed in deepest mourniagthe eyes passionate, Intense; the Sace pale as death, the small head carried proudly, even in the face of her .Troe. Could this perfect woman be the fifteen-year-old Margery whom he dimly remembered seeing long before? Eihe eame to him, one small hand clasped lightly in the other. "Darcey," he managed to articulate, and that was all. "Didn't you know? Ho Is dead." He was unable to answer her. Stepping forward, she laid her hand lightly a his arm. "Do you hear? He Is dead deadhead!" and she turned and walked quickly from the room. Days passed, and Vance Weyland tayed on In the little village where Margery lived, forgetting his own story at Darcey's death in an effort to alleviate the sufferings of the lonely, stricken Ister; and in time the light returned 1o the girl's eyes and the color to the iKrautiful lips. They were friends, firm, steadfast Irlends, and the bond which united them was love for the dead man. When the time came that he must leave her, Yance went to bid farewell to Marjory. Ho found her walking by the river. "Margery, I have come to say goodly. I must go to-morrow," he said quietly. "Going? So soon?" she asked, with a startled look. "I regret It. but it I3 necessary that I should do so." A dull paleness overspread the regular features of the girl, but she said aothing. "I have been thinking," continued her companion present!)', "what lonely fives yours and mine must of necessity fce, end I have thought forgive me if 2 should not that we might add to ach other's happiness If you would tonseut to be my wife. It is true, we do ot love each other In a romantic way; but our tastes are alike and we agree 5a essential points. If you give yourself to me I think I can make you at 3east content, and I am not afraid to trust my happines In your hands." Still she was silent, but pallor gave ylace to a calm brightness which grew Sato radiance. She stole a sly glance at his face. It was turned from her, and filled with a strange unrest. She Inew that his mind had returned to IL3 old love, and she grew suddenly STraTe. So long she remained silent that he looked around In surprise. "You do not answer. My words have ot offended you?" "I am not offended." "Will you be my wife?" "Yes." "And soon? Remember my lonely afe." "If you desire It." Thank you, Margie; you have made sm rery happy." He stooped and quietly kissed her. , 0 they were married, and life passed

If'W I fei

for many weeks In quietness and peaces December had come, with chill winds' and heavy snows; Christmas was ap-( proaching. . Vance was returning home from a? neighboring city, thinking of his llfe a3 it now was. and as It might have? been, and he felt that though he had once thought existence worthless without that which he deemed necessary to his happiness, be would not exchange what he possessed for the realization of the dream of his younger days. For he loved Margery as he had never dreamed he could love woman again. At that moment his wife was standi Ing, tall and motionless, in the brightly; lighted drawing-room, facing a beautiful woman whose dark eyes, large and lustrous, looked defiance into hers. "He is your husband?" she was saying. "lie Is my husband," assented Margery, with a half sob in her throat. "Your husband, but my lover. Remember that. It was I he loved, not you; for that I could almost forgive him for marrying you." Margery did not move. The white lips grew whiter, but a great scorn, burned in her eyes; ??he felt the truth of her guest's statement; but that she should have put It into words! At that moment Vance entered the

room. The snow outside had deadened the sound of his approach. Margery did not know that ho had returned until with a sudden movement the woman before her leaned forward, and "Vance" in soft, dulcet tones fell from her lips. "Isabel!" "The doctors tell me I have not long to live and I have come to make my peace with you, Vance. I could not go leaving you in the belief that I was entirely heartless. I want to ask " "All is forgiven and forgotten, Mrs. Weston. Pray do not disturb yourself. I trust that your physicians are mistaken, however." Vance's tone was kind but cold. She looked at him keenly. "You forgive me? That is almost more than I had hoped." Her slender white hand moved rest-i lessly toward him, and be was compelled to take it. Margery inwardly winced, but gave no outward s!gn of distress. She did not see what her husband saw, that Mrs. Weston was exceedingly ill. Vance made a slight attempt to remove the lingers which he held, but their clasp tightened in his; there was a slight swaying of the lithe bod-, and Isabel Weston was lying Jn his arms, her beautiful face 0:1 his breast, uttcr ly unconscious. He placed her oa a' sofa. In a few minutes she recovered and insisted on returning to her father's house. When Vance re-entered the drawing-room," after having placed, Isabel in her carriage, he found Margery standing at the window, her face, pressed closely against t!;o panes. lie took her cold hand in his, and led her, unresistingly to the fire. She obediently raised her eyes to his face, but dropped them quickly. "1 haven confess! .:i which I must" "No, no, no!" she interrupted. "I can bear no more. Have I not seen and; heard enough. Is not my burden sufficiently heavy that you seek to add to it? It was cruel of you. and yet I, too, was to blame. I should not have mar-, ried you, knowing as I did, that you still care for her; but 1 was foolish enough to think you would forget how foolish I never before realized. She said oh. she should not! that you were my husbar.J, but her lover; and you you " "Margery, you cannot believe that I am dishonorable enough to cherish love for a woman who. until a few weeks ago, was the wife of another man? The day on which I r.nrrk-d you saw the burial of my p:;st love, and a new one succeeded it a love stronger, purer, than I gave to Isabel Leoce a love which Is given to a woman who I know loves me. ar.il whom, thank heaven, no other man ran call his wife. You are mine, and I claim my own." Still she was silent and unresponsive. "Margery." he went on. in a pained voice, which yet contained a great determination, "you must trust me.' "Oh, Vance, if I only might! But It has followed me al ways this thought that you " A sound of hurried footsteps; the door was burst open, and a servant stood breathless on the threshold. "Mrs. Weston's carriage, sir. There was an aecideut. and Mrs. Weston Is dead. I think. They are bringing her here." In a few minutes Isabel was again upon the sofa from which she had so lately risen. The black eyes opened Vance bent over her with a murmured thanksgiving that her life had been spared for a short time. She lifted one slender hand to his face. "Poor Vance," she whispered. "You loved me then, you love her now. I knew it when you spoke to me so coldly. My vanity led me astray it was only a boyish fancy, soon forgottenIt was best so. They sny I did not love Terence, but ah! it was death to me to see him die! His beautiful face so white and cold the ah. the pain is here!" Her hand was pressed against her heart. "They told me I could not live; 1 shall see him soon. You said you had for " Her sentence was never finished. Sb had gone to him. The tears were streaming down Margery's cheeks, and Vance's eyes were moist. "Margery, my darling, you see how It is. Aro you willing to trust me now?" One steady, searching glance, and their Hps met In a long, solemn kiss. The clock In the neighboring church chimed the midnight hour, and they knelt hand In hand, united In heart, by the side of the quiet form of Isabel Weston, and the cold dawn of morning found them still keeping a silent watch beside the one who had encountered death as they entered upon a new life of happiness and love.

THEY MET IN PEACE.

ANIMOSITIES OF WAR BURIED AT OAKWOODS. Blue Joins with the Gray in Dedicating a Monument and Decorating Soldier' Graves American Heroes All Funeral of Secretary Greshain. Former Foes in Reunion. Memorial Day in Chicago was like nothing in the history of nations. It sent in the same line the victor and the vanquished, each with garlands for its own army of dead, with the uncounted thousands from the heart of the city to Oakwoods cheering for the memory of heroes, of friend or foe. It was the first time since the first shot that warriors from the North and cavaliers from the South forgot eutirely revengeful bitterness by such a kind of public demonstration of unity. It marked an epoch. The multitudes heard upon the same winds plaudits for the men who died for their country and the yell which led the hardest and bravest enemy that ever faced fire. They stood with b3red heads in the presence of (kiHJO graves of victims of their own Douglas prison or shouted in salvos of patriotism at the sight of the thinned ranks hunting the humble mounds marked by a Hag. It was this unique feature that brought to the city a crowd which barely found standing room in the stretch of territory dedicated to the ceremony. Thursday the surviving veterans of the two mighty armies which for four long years faced each other in bloody strife HAMPTON. I.OXGSTKF.KT. pledged anew their faith in a common country and a common tlag beside the pallid bhaft which marks the eternal camping ground of fallen soldiers who pined and died beside the great Northern lake, brave and uncomplaining victims of merciless civil war. It was a scene long to be remembered, and may be regarded as the final epitaph upon the tomb of sectional strife and sectional estrangement. At Cottage Grove avenue and Thirtyfifth street, ther. at the outskirts, but now in the heart of this city, a stockade was built during the civil war and named Camp Douglas, and there many thousands of Confederate prisoners were confined between the years 1S02 and 1SG3. The men held there under the restraints which be-all captives of war had spent their lives In the balmy climate of the 6unny South and the rigors of a Northern winter told upon them severely. As a consequence 5,000 of them were liberated by death and were buried in Oakwoods cemetery at Cottage Grove avenue and Sixty-seventh street. It was to the memory of these thousands who died in a military prison in an enemy's country that the monument was dedicated by their comrades and opponents in arms on the spot where they lie buried. It is the first monument to Confederate dead erected in the North, the event was perhaps without a parallel in history. It does not appear that anywhere else on the face of our round globe within a period of thirty years after the coxFEinr.ATn shaft at Chicago. close of a bitterly fought war, the vanquished have ever before erected a menumen t in the memory of their comrades in arms in the heart of the victor's territory. Especially has the sight ever been witnessed of the victors heartily joining the vanquished in doing honor to the valor of the vanquished dead. Gen. Wade Hampton delivered the dedicatory address. TUB DAY IN KKW YORK. Grand Army Parade Reviewed Prominent Officials. by Veterans of the Union army in New York city celebrated "the day of the dead" under favorable conditions. The parade of the Grand Army members starting from the Plaza at Fifth avenue and Fifty-ninth street showed sadly the ravages which thirty years have made in the ranks of the volunteers of lSl51-r. The reviewing stand nt Twenty-fifth street was occupied by exPresident Harrison, Gov. McKinley, Gov. LEVI P. HOKTOK. Morton and Mayor Strong. While reviewing the parade Gov. Morton was overcome by tho heat and fainted. The services at Grant's tomb were under the auspices of U. 8. Grant Post, G. A. It., and included a memorial address by Gor. McKinley of Ohio. Contributing to make this affair noteworthy, the United States cruiser Cincinnati was anchored in the river near by, by order of tho Secretary of the Navy, and fired salutes. The itatue in liattery Park of Johu Ericsson, the designer of the monitor, was adorned with flowers in honor of his distinguished services for the Union cause. Kansas City, Mo., will have a military encampment from Sept. 80 to Oct. fx

WITH MILITARY HONOR.

Secretary Greshara'a Remains Temporarily Deposited in n Vault. Without ostentation, as befitted his life among his people, but with the military and civic accompaniments which ran even foot with his achievements as soldier, jurist and statesman, the remains of Walter Q. Greshani, general in the Union armies, the judge of the Federal courts and Secretary of State of the United States, were tcmporari'y laid to rest in Oakwoods cemetery, Chicago, Thursday afternoon amid the flower-strewn graves of his comrades in arms graves decorated by tho hands of men who had fought them on many a bloody field and in the :.vvixo tiif. station-. shadow of the monument just dedicated in honor of the valor of those who had given their lives for the Confederate cause. It was a most remarkable juxtaposition. In the early hours of the day Federals and Confederates had joined in the unveiling of a monument to the r.0N. Confederates who had died in the military prison at Camp Douglas; the ex-Con federate Association had strewn 0:1 the graves of the Union soldiers buried there a mass of flowers brought from the ground over which they had fought less than a generation ago, and the Union veterans had placed upon the graves of their fallen comrades in the other cemeteries about the city the flowers which grow in our own latitude. Almost the echoes of the volley fired over the Confederate burying ground by the first regiment of State militia and of the bugle blare couid be heard and 'tajis" were still sounding, and the smoke from their rifles was still floating over the -5 V- -1 ' TIIK VAULT AT OAKWOODS. field of peace, as the cortege of the dead Secretary of State tiled in through the gates into the et metery. It was a remarkably fitting climax to the remarkable ceremonies which had just closed that the remains of the man who claimed the allegiance of both the North and the South should be deposited there, the keystone to the arch of re-cemented friendship whose visible sign had just been unveiled there. For as a soldier he had won the respect of those who fought him; as a jurist lie had gained the love of the common pe ople, and as Secretary of State in a Democratic administration he had commanded the support of the people of the South as well as of the North. The special funeral train arrived from Washington in the afternoon. The procession was formed, headed by the escort of honor, consisting of the troops of ail arms from Fort Sheridan. These were followed by the honorary pall-bearers, and next came the funeral car with the active pallbearers walking on cither side. Next rode the members of the late Secretary's family and the Presidential party, and in the rear of the cortege brought up the members of the Uoyal Legion. G. A. It. veterans, judges of the courts. State and municipal ofiicers, civic societies ami citizens. The entire line of march was crowded with people who respectfully bared their headj as the cortege passed. Arriving at thfc cemetery chapel, the caske t was removed from the funeral car and borne within by eight sergeants of marines. The services conducted by the Ilev. S. J. Mcpherson, cf the Second Presbyicriaa Church, were impressive but simple, consisting merely of scriptural readings. There was a hymn by the choir and prayer. The remains were temporarily deposited in the receiving vault of th cemetery. No salute was fired, the ceremonies concluded with "taps." Th train had been held and the Presidential party returned to it and at once started on tho return trip to Washington. FAIRMCN IS FIRST. Officially Declared Winner of the Chicago Itonrf Kace. Homer Fairmon, of the Chicago Cycling Club, was declared the winner of the road race from Chicago to Uvanston and return, a distance of about twenty miles. IM win Fry, who came in ahead of him, was disqualified, the judges having decided he had not covered the full course. Fairmon's time was r4:ot. George Fmcrson, of tho Fnglewood wheelmen, won second nnd the time prize, his time being 52:14. Reports say the race was woefully mismanaged. Mrs. Catherine Adney, who has resided near Lebanon, Ind., for the past sixtyfive years, died at her home in that city. She was t7 years old. Freight cars with every 'modern improvement and capable of carrying sixty tons can now be bought for 120 per cent less than the prices of 181V2. Prices vary because of the standards of different roadj and the necessities of the manufacturers. The average for the best cars in round lots is under $u00. By order of the President, the payments of claims of the Nez Perce Indians, amounting to $000,000, have been held, up. The reason for this action is not known at the Treasury Department.

TOßRID ZONE BURSTS.

PAST WEEK HAS BEEN A RECORD BREAKER. Mercury Cliinhn I'p and Pccpa Over the Top of the Glass Many Deaths and I'rotstratioiis. Rt ported-Croi)K in Many State Burning Up. Hottest in Years. There is not w in the way of weather that the United States cannot dish up la the course of twenty-four hours. In 1-m, coincidently there may be every con.-i-jv-able variety fashioned inio a sort of meteorological mosaic, making up what may be styled one unified aggregation of universal climates.. As a matter of fact the American weather nowadays is not, strictly speaking, weather at all; it is an assortment of samples, sample warranted to ''hold." According to former rules of computation and average it should be intensely hot down South; whereas the region of the magnolia has been dcliciously cool, refreshed by abundant and frequent rains, with now and then a delicate, barely pt rceptible pinch of frot in tin air. In New York, where a reasonable degree of heat would have been admitted, but cool breezes were normal, all records have been broken for hot May weather. While New York wa sweltering in this way Colorado had lost herself in eight or ten inches of snow. While Texas was being dciugod with rain Indiana was burn ing up with drought. Other sections pined for a patter of rain upon corn leaf and wheat ear, and a cloudburst came along to drown out a part of Nebraska. Now. all this is indicative of bad management somewhere. The distribution is performed in a bunglingly incompetent manner. This business of turning on a burning glass where the earth is already parched and the people baking, emptying clouds into lakes, and sending a surplus of rain into a State that has an instinctive aversion to water, lias bon carried to a slupid excess. It is time a stop were ordered. Record for the Week Appalling. Tuesday's torridity was the climax of a hot week that broke the record of twentyfive years. In Chicago every day the mercury climbed up to the 10 mark, and several times took a peep over the top of the glass. Not sine the bureau began regulating the weather had the corresponding week let loose so much calorie. The exce ssive heat was due to the south wind, the scorching breath from some Mexican inferno that so often sweeps across Kansas and Nebraska, leaving death, destruction and mourning in its track. The record shows a remarkably high temperature from an early hour and a striking drop during a shift in the wind. Chicago did not get the worst of the heat, for at Indianapolis, Louisville and Charleston, S. C, the thermometer registered 100, making the first century record tf the season. It was US at Washington and Norfolk, Ya. The maximum of 1X5 was reached at Detroit. St. Louis, Springfield, 111.. Cairo, Nashville, Memphis and Cincinnati. New Yolk, as usual, played a second to Chicago, with only Dl. Doston had a lucky day, having a sea wind which kept the record down to (0. At 7 o'clock at night Ohio and eastern Indiana wer sweltering under a temperature of .!0 to VI. The llocky Mountain region was enjoying compensation for the suffering of last week. Ileyond Iowa and Minnesota the temperature was down to (JO or below. In Colorado and Wyoming it even went as low as ."0. There were general rains, with more or less thunder, in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado, and those sections will probably get more showers later. This is likely to prove the longest spell of wet weather the arid section of the West lias had for years. Cairo and Nashville also reported showers. Government correspondents sent in the following as the highest marks for Monday : Ah:!, ne SS Little Kock !1 Risn.arcL 1:1' Louisville P;i lies ton Co Marqcctte 7l P.iitfalo 74 Memphis :n; "airo Miles 'lty '; rhryenne To Milwaukee 7s Chicago ;; Min!ied -;:i "!

In New Y'ork it is safe to say that at least twenty-five persons have died during the last five days as a result of the heated term, and that ever 1ÖO have been prostrated and taken to the different hospitals of the city. In Chicago four persons died Monday from sunstroke and many others overcome by heat will not recover. Philadelphia reports seven deaths and nearly fifty prostrations as Mond ay s addition to the heated term fatalities, while laltinure and Pittsburg each record four fatal cases.

On four daysMay 4, 20, CO and ol the records were smashed, the mercury beating its competitors in former years. Crop lturuiug Up. The most serious condition which ever confronted the farmers ef Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan reigns in many localities, and every crop is threatened by serious danger wheat, corn, oats and haj There has been less than half the usual rainfall this year, and many of the smaller streams are n-v dry, while wells nnd cisterns have been dry for weeks. Tho hot wave of this week has made the condition more alarming. So long ns it was cool the growing vegetation hcSl its color, but under the influence of

Neb., on the crest of a raging llood. Swelled by the heavy rains until its banks could no longer withstand the strain, Curtis Lake burst from its restraint, and Monday's sun shone upon a valley of desolation through southwest Nebraska. Thousands of dollars' worth of railroad property has bee n destroyed, miles of meadows that covered the earth with a carpeting of green are now a muddy waste, dotted with wrecked buildings and drowned live stock. No lives were lost. Most of the damage is to crops where the fields were flooded. The first intimation Curtis citizens had that the locality was threatened with disaster was the bursting of the Pike's bank with a roar that could be heard several miles, and a wall of water ten feet high rushed down the valley, carrying everything in its path. Houses, freight cars, live stock and a mountain of debris were caught up and dashed about like featln rs. Tiie line roller miils whieh occupy the cast side of the gn at ravine received the first shock of the torrent and the building wa ruined. A few hundred yards below th mills Mcdn-iiie river passes und r the railroad tracks of the l,ul"iigt n. When tho llood stru.-k this narrow dofi.: its progress was impeded, but only f.r an instant. Then the heavy embankments gave way and the wall of water rushed through, cutting a path 1 x yards wide. The railroad company's loss is about SLr.i K!1. As the wall -f water passed beyond the city ji rapidly spread out over an immens territory, and its p-wers .if destruction were correspondingly le. nasel. Th damage, however, was merely shifted, as the extensive alfalfa meadows f.ir many miles to the south were ll"Iel sev-ral feet deep, and all details from tiie south where the torrent passed indicate very extei. ;v. latuage. Farm pro he ts of every doN.'i;; fian wen engulfed and in many instanccs wl'-ri' the homos of the farmers were in the immediate vicinity f the valley the disash r was almost ruinous. Small buildings were washed away er undenniiied in su h a manner as to b rendered worthless, and in some sections tho water rose so rapidly as t seriously mennee tin lives of families.

The Ne w York V"rld publishes a telegraphic poll f the next Congress, as far as obtainable, upon the silver. tariJ a:u'. income tax jue-tioiis.

Only seventeen can fairly be classed as favorir.g a single gold standard, and the attitude of some of these even is no definite. Soutk and far western States are almost unanimous for free -onage. The S-uth Vn tr;l .states are aimost unanimous for freu coinage. Tie North Central States ban towards silver, with an international bimetallic pialilH-ation and it is only ia New York.
