A new strength the strength of despair had come to her, and the doctor and nurse alike marveled at the courage and promptitude with which she assumed the duties of her position when the sleepless night was over at last aad the good ship steamed slowly into Southampton docks. There she indited telegrams, arranged for Don's removal to the little steamer for the Isle of Wight, and gave orders anent their luggage, all with a fortitude and forethought that had never been called upon till now. The sympathy of the whole ship went with her, for the calamity which had befallen her and her great endurance beneath it had won her golden opinions from all. The captain stepped forward and grasped the little hand she proffered In silent gratitude for his condolence when the moment of farewell came at last. He had a letter to deliver into her keeping which, owing to Don's illness, he had refrained from doing before. He explained that the letter had been found upon the dead body of the Indian when recovered from the sea; and as Captain Cordon's name was mentioned in it, he thought Captain Gordon's wife should have it. Lillie took it and put it in her pocket, with a wan little smile of thanks. Vivid as was her remembrance still of that ghastly scene the night of the storm, her thoughts had seldom dwelt on the swarthy soman's dastardly deed which had added this twofold agoay of Don'3 illness to her sorrowladen soul. Indian life had inured her to the deep-rooted thirst for revenge of the native if he believed himself wrongtd; but Don was ever so universal a favorite she could not fathom the seaman's attack. She had neither time nor heart to read the letter now. Vet it was not till the channel packet moored alongside the Cowes pier, and she saw IloJdy and Dl, in response to her telegram, hurrying forward to greet bor, the unnatural strain upon her endurance and calm gave way, and she fell on Diana's neck with the bitter, broken cry which meant the whole world to her. "He is dying." All that night Don's life was despaired of. His feeble pulse went down to the lowest ebb; and, as if that brief period of consciousness had sapped the last spark of vitality, his exhaustion was so great that at times they scarcely could tell if the breath of life had not gone out forever. There was no question of proceeding to Saamklin, where Roddy and Di had fondly expected to welcome bride and bridegroom to their cottage home. To the big hotel overlooking the axure sea thy carried Don to die. True, the fever had left hira now, but it had left him prostrate, helpless as an infant. He slept continuously, knowing not the difference between night and day, sometimes dimly conscious of a loving hand ever ready to minister to his wants, but too weak, too far out on that limitless gulf that flows between the worlds to dream of what awaited hirn on either shore. And Lillie? She must have suffered even if she had not loved him, and her love during those long weeks of nursing had become to her both life and food. She sat by him while night waned and dawn broke. "Why seek rest when sleep was Impossible?" she argued. And so they let her have her way, passing in and out of the sick room, always to find her sitting there, with her blue eyes fixed upon Don's face, motionless, almost breathless in her piteous dpspair. Hut just as the sun was rising and bathing the fair world without in a blaze of golden light Diana stole to her with some refreshment, to find her sitting up in her chair, a hectic Hush on her face, her eyes aflame with mingled excitement and grief. A letter lay open on her lap. It wa3 the letter the captain of the troopship had given her, and which had lain in her pocket forgotten until now, when a chance thought recalled iL It was written In HIndostanee, and bore the straggling signature of one who had so ruthlessly wrecked "the White Lily's" peace. The signature was Sing, and was it wonder, as Lillie laboriously waded through It3 brief contents, passion and pain and remorse overwhelmed her bleeding heart? "I command you to remove the despicable Feringhee (Englishman) Captain Gordon out of my path," ran the Prince's scroll. "Dotard! poltroon! that you were to take Captain Derwent's life in his stead! Your excuse that the darkness of the night and Captain Gordon's conduct led to your failure avail you nothing. You have robbed me of a friend, and let my foe go free. Expect neither reward nor mercy from me." She understood it all now. The Indian whose knife had pierced Don's breaat was no other than the sepoy who, in the secret service of the Prince, had followed Don Into Tirah. His orders had been to shoot Don, but in the gathering dusk of the nullah he had mistaken Captain Derwent for his Intended victim. He had thereupon graphically reported Dan's every word and action to try to account for the excitement which led to the misdirection of his own rifle; but the excuse had weighed not 'at all with the haughty potentate, whoso Imperious will had thus been frustrated. And the sepoy, with that blind devotion to his master which la the Indian's truest point, had willingly faced death, disguised as a seaman, again to

She realized with a shudder the awful strength of her royal lover's deeproited jealousy. She felt anew the agony of remorse doublefold. In vain Diana, with her larger faith and greater endurance, tried to solace her. She knew intuitively that Dl, in her noble abandonment of self, would have sacrificed her grief for the father who was dead in order to teach the comfort of repentance at the foot of the cross to the living husband's suffering soul. And now Don was dying dying! and that supreme privilege would never be hers. She might never hold his hand and say: "If we confess our sins. He 13 faithful and just to forgive U3 our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." She had told Don she forgave him, yet she had bidden him go and work out his own repentance and salvation, bereft of earthly comfort and companionship Don, whose nature she knew was so weak to resist temptation or endure hardship, who knew nothing of the strength of self-reliance or the trust in a redeemer. Ah! what was her forgiveness worth? Colonel Gordon from Gadie arrived at West Cowes on the second day following Roddy's message of Don's condition. Though his son undoubtedly held the first place in the old laird's heart, his nephew Don had ever received a large share of his affectionate solicitude, and he was profoundly moved by the young officer's illness. Yet it was he who resolutely drew Lillie from the sick room, leaving Roddy and Diana to watch with the nurse through that time of dread crisis. He saw the strength of the girl wife was all but sapping beneath the awful strain, both physical and mental; and it was in those short, calm converses by the wide seashore at the brave old soldier's side that Lillie lrarned the greatest of faith's secrets -II.; doeth all things well." ALd it was then then, when her heavy-laden heart had found relief in submission to that Higher Will than her own, the vital wave of Don's life, having ebbed to its furthest limit, began to fiow back. The doctor's verdict went forth that it was possible Don might live. Oh, the agony then of those nights and days! those alternate hours when life and death struggled for supremacy, and each hung in the balance! Once more Lillie hovered almost incessantly by Don's pillow, living only in that hope of the first look, the first word of recognition. She hungered for it with an eager intensity that had no thought of self in it now. She longed to pour out in his ears the comfort of that proof of the Prince's guilt and his own innocence. She told herself not even death could appal her now if but that brief communion of souls might be theirs, for suffering had taught her even resignation's wondrous hope. "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." The sun was setting over the green, sloping hills and glinted on the fleets of yachts and little boats in the harbor and on the castle at its mouth. Away beyond the dividing River Medina rose Norris castle, with its fair parks extending to the shore, and still further were just visible the two square turrets of the little Island home of the sovereign lady, Queen Victoria. It was a fair, fair scene, and as Lillie stood at Don's window looking out upon it, her heart swelled with mingled patriotism and emotion. Ah, surely God, who was so merciful, would grant that Don, too, might yet revel in the fairness she now looked on? Then suddenly, as she turned, she saw Don's eyes were open, and he was gazing upon her with the rapture of full consciousness which once before lit his face on board the great steamer. She went to him and fell on her knees beside his bed. "My darling," he said faintly, and his weak arms went out to her and gathered her nearer and drew her head down to her breast. "Where are we?" he asked then, after a moment of silence that was too full for speech. "We are home," she answered, in a voice of joy. Through the near bay-window his eyes fell on the distant towers of Osborne, and suddenly, at that touch of memory, he kissed her passionately, with all the ardor of hope and life. "My queen is here." he murmured. Yes, like the Israelites of old, these two had needed to pass through the wide red sea of suffering ere they gained the promised land. Hut "King Don" had come into his kingdom at last. (The End.) Mli Kato ICt-l. Thomas II.

THAT POMPOUS LAWYER, ilow lie CatiHt'tl a Youthful larentor to Ia. e a Fortune. "Apropos of inventions," said r. New Orleans lawyer who does a gooi deal of patent office business, "I'll te" you a curious little story, which U, absolutely true and has never seei print. Nearly a quarter of a century ago a 12-year-old boy was watchin? the moving of a heavy piece of furniture at his home in this city, when it occurred to him that the castorupon which it rolled were very clums contrivances and might be improved He was a bright boy, -with a taste for mechanics and drawing, and, turn ing the matter over in his mind, he hit on the scheme of using a meta; ball instead of a wheel. "The ball," he argued, could turn in any directioi in a socket, and would be a great im provement over the old-fashioned cas tor. So he proceeded to make a draw ing of the device and showed it hi. father, who thought so well of it tha: he went to see a lawyer wkh a view of having it patented. The lawyer was au eminent man in his professior and an advocate of great ability, buc he knew nothing whatever of mechanics, and when he looked at the drawing the thing struck him as being impracticable. 'Why, this will never work in the world he said. 'The pressure cn top of the ball would keep it from turning.' If he had stopped to think he might have realized that the same argument could be applied to the axle of a wheel, but his off-hand opinion nippe.I the patent in the bud; the father tolu the son that the plan wasn't feasible. That ended it. and four or five yearr later some fellow in England patented exactly the same idea and proceeded to make a huge fortune. The device which the boy originally thought out is known as the 'ball-bearing' and is unquestionably one of the greatest and mcst useful inventions of the age. It is employed in everything, from bicycles to 12-inch gun mounts. The lawyer who said it wouldn't work is now dead, and the boy himself is a clerk at perhaps $1,200 a year. He still has the drawing, and showed it to me only the other day." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

WAS TOO LITTLE DEBATE. Sctatr ;r- ns Opinion of th Kpiscopal Church Serir. Congressman Hitt tells the following story of Benton's most formidable opponent. Senator James Stephen Green: 'enaror Green," said Mr. Hitt, "was not only a man of splendid genius, but. also of charming manner. He boarded at th National hotel, wli.fr he was popular with men and women. The latter found cut that the senator was nor. much of a churchgoer and insisted that he should mend his vvys in that regard. One Sunday he was late for dinner. The women risked hirn why. 'I have been attending divine worship.' replied the senator gravely. 'To what church did you go, senator?' asked a woman. 'I don't know,' answered the courtly Missourian. 'Who preached?' they asked. I don't know, he s:dd. I walked up the avenue, turned up Fourth street and entered a church on the lefthand side.' This was an Kpiscopal church. 'How did you like the services?' asked another woman. 'It appeared to me,' answered the senator, 'that there was too much reading of the journal ami too little debate.' "--Chicago Chronicle. The C'o.tcr ItntKr. The innovation known as the coastoi brake is decidedly popular. Hack pedaling is exceedingly tiresome, and coasting has steadily declined by reason of the obvious inconvenience of using the plunger brake, operated by the foot. With the coaster brake one can slide down a hill without removing his feet from the pedals. It requires but a few moments to become used to the new brake, and soon tho sense of complete control of the wheel is felt and a comfortable feeling of security Is imparted, which h:is never hitherto b-een experienced. The coaster brake will be espevial'y popular fr. this city, where so many hills are encountered. Nearly all the brake-s of this kind on the market are operated by rollers, controlled by springs, nre simple in construction and easily attached to any wheel. Telegraph-! s I)V. Miss Ida Halstead, a fashionably dressed young woman of willowy figure, dark hair and piercing brown eyes, who is a saleswoman and lives In the Norfolk, No. 47 West Thirtieth ntreet, appeared in Jefferson Market police court as complainant against "William Mann, says the New York World. She said he had annoyed her ever since she became acquainted with him in a boarding house two years ago. She declared he had sent her at least 1.000 telegrams, and sometimes as many as a dozen in one day. Mann, who said he was a dry goods clerk living at No. 317 West Twenty-first street, promised Magistrate JNann that he would not again be guilty of such conduct. This, however, did not save him from a three months' penitentiary sentence In lieu of a $300 peace bond. lIolliirt Youthful Sovrrclgu. Queen Wilhelmina is tho idol of all her Dutch subjects.

The FOUNDER

Recently there was celebrated In England the anniversary of the biggest club in the world the Y. M. C. A. which has a branch in every city and hamlet in the United States, in every part of Europe and in such contracted places as Dawson City and Nazareth, Johannesburg and Jerusalem. This great organization, which has some 7,000 branches and a membership of over 500,000, sprang from the humble plan of a poor London clerk, and began in a dingy upstairs room in a dry goods store. Now the poor clerk is rich, and one result of that meeting over the dry goods store has been to make him a knight. His years number nearly SO, and he has lived to make his name a familiar one, to see the club that he began with 11 comrades spread all over the world, to see its membership growing by hundreds of thousands a year, to find the buildings that shelter it in the United SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS. States and England alone valued at Over $15,000,000, aDd to see among its standard bearers men whose names are synonyms for greatness and power. The story of Sir Ceorge Williams is that of a man who once forgot self and never remembered it again who has made a success of life. A little English village first knew him as the son of a poor farmer. In another back-number town. Hridg'jwater, he was apprenticed to a draper a dry goods dealer, as we say in America at an early age. While still a yung man he entered the employ of Hitch cock Sc Hodgers. London 'rrpers. Lilce almost everyone destined to make his w:sy in business, there was evidently such an amount of organizing ability stored up In his youth of 20 that it had to find an outlet somehow. So he conceived the idea that reading, recreation nnd religion might be combined to make a society that would be of use to some of the thousands cf lonely young men who had left country homes and were earning a living in London and trying to keep themselves out of the devil's clutches. He found It other young men who fell in with the scheme, obtained permission from his employer to hold a meeting in the now historic ppare room over the store, and after two sessions started a society which they decided to call the Young Men's Christian Association. After much deliberation over ways and means for money was scarce they raised hetwr-ii them a fund of CO cents a week, rented a room in a hotel that used to stand near Mackfriars Ilridge, and began to meet there regularly. One day young Williams' employer, Mr. Hitchcock, heard of the peculiar doings of the club, and decided that he would go and see what it was all about. He doubtless made the decision lightly enough, but it proved to be of vast consequences to him and to the young men, for he was so deeply touched by tb simplicity and earnestness of their meeting that he announced himself as a "convert" then and there. He did more than profess, however; he went out among the men of wealth ami prominence that he knew and told them of the little club and what its members aimed to do, and got money from them, a lot of money, enough to make the Young Men's Christian Association a thing to be reckoned with. Larger rooms were taken in Fleet street, and the organization bejran to grow fast and throw out branches, gradually extending all over England. The tlrst branch on this side of the Atlantic was In Montreal, but soon there was another one in Hoston. New York followed suit, and America had adopted the plan of the Umdon clerk. Then the world did. While interested in the affairs of the new organization Williams did not forget that he had his way to mike In the world and he applied himself to his business with such energy that he was taken into partnership In the firm. He was created a knight by the queen In 1SD1. That was the Jubileo year of the Young Men's Christian Associationfounded in 1514 and a great convention was held in Ixmdon to celebrate it, in which the venerable founder was the central figure. To that convent in from all over the world went 2,000 delegates, speaking 17 different languages. Sir George Williams Is one of tho most charitable men In the world and never grows tired of giving to good purposes. Ho would b- Immensely wealthy were his charities not so great. When he wis earning $7.r0 a year ho gave S2."0 of this sum annually to the support of thn Y. M. C. A., and this generous pplrlt has been h!s since. A l!:lMliful Trine.

CATARACTS MAY BE USED. Tower Now doing to Waste Might II Made Profitable. One of the natural resources of the great west which will in the future make for its greater advancement is the undeveloped water power. The melting snows on the summits of the lefty mountains rushing downward with resistless force in the spring form the headwaters of our mighty rivers. Today the tourist views these cataracts and waterfalls amid scenes of primeval grandeur and wildness. In the tomorrow of western progress the tourist may see these mighty forces chained and harnessed moving the wheels of industry, and promoting the good of new commonwealths. It is only in the east that anything like substantial utilization of the water powers is apparent. In the west there are but few rivers which do not offer a cheap and practical water supply. But the far west is almost an unknown country yet, and capital, except in a few isolated cases, has invested little in enterprises of this sort. The first utilization of this vast water supply for power has almost invariably been made by mining corporations, but this represents only an infinitesimal portion of the latent forces. A few western cities like Minneapolis, St. Paul, Great Falls and Spokane, have harnessed their rivers and are forging to the front. The dweller in the west, inhaling the ozonic atmosphere of that glorious region, is naturally an optimist. He cannot help it. But his optimism is justified by the past records of that region, which reveal no halting in its onward progress. He travels on the finest railroads, he lives amid scenes of the greatest and grandest natural beauty; he views the settlement and growth of new territories. In fact, all that he sees and hears and breathes tend to make him optimistic. Therefore to him the vision readily comes of a transformation in this. He sees, in a future not distant, a new field for his efforts. All this power, now wasted and valueless, will be made useful and will materially conduce to the wealth of thousands of new citizens.

Now the condition of the house is far from good, owing to lack of care. It has been occupied, perhaps not inappropriately, by a family of negroes for the last 10 or 12 years. The occupants have not shown the reverence due the birthplace of the man who sacrificed his life in behalf of their race. It is situated about three miles from Torrington. Conn., on a road now traveled by few other than those who visit the house because of its historical associations. A COMING ROYAL MARRIAGE. One of the most perturbed royal personages in Europe is Prince Ferdinand oi Bulgaria who. it Is said, is to marry the Grand Duchess Helene or Russia. Prince Ferdinand, who was elected PRINCE FERDINAND, to the throne of Bulgaria, is the youngest sou of the late Prince August of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and is a grandson of King Ixjuis Philippe of France. He has earned considerable disrepute both before and since his elevation to the Bulgarian throne and is suffering from a physical malady, in 1SÜ3 he married the Princess Maria Louise by whom he had four children. The princess died last year. Should the Prince marry the Grand Duchess Helene he will have won for his wife one of the prettiest princesses in Europe. She is the daughter of Grand Duke Vladimir, uncle of the Czar, and is 18 years old. The princess has a temper as well as beauty. Once she hurled a cup of hot tea at her English governess. The cup struck the unfortunate woman in the face and destroyed the sight of tuie eye. The governess now draws a large annuity from Grand Duke Vladimir. MINERAL VEALTH OF ALASKA. riii-li.-ij of the Territory lias l"rvrl a rajinir lnv-.tHiciit. The United States paid $7,2'jO,OUO for Alaska and last year it yielded o." in gold and silver alone. Thece figures are given by the statistician of the mint. The increase over the precious metal product of was $3,187.0$$. I'ntil last year most of the gold and silver obtained in Alaska came from tbe quartz mines near Juneau and moot of the vast increase of lat year came from the new gold fields ot Cape Nome. It amounted to about $2.400'OO. From gresest iii cations the next three month viii witness an increase of $0.000 in the mining population of the territory. Most uf them will go to the rich auriferous placers of Cape Nome, and miners of long experience say that the gold output of the present year from Alaska will equal that of California and likely that of the Klondike during 1S99. Hut gold and silver are not th only minerals. The enormous deposits of copper and co:tI which Alaska contains will receive attention from th army of adventurers entering the territory this spring and coming summer and it will not be at all surprising if they add more to tbe mineral output of the territory than the gold quart, veins and placer deposits.
