S his lordship waiting' breakjrkins, _ he al--_ody begun?*’ cried Lady Evesham, rushing like a whirlwind in a rid-ing-habit into the great cool, pillared hall of Evesham house one| fair May morning. “His lordship is n ot yet down,

*ny may; oui L<eon nas neen wnu mm three-quarters of an hour,” answered Parkins. '‘Then serve breakfast; his lordship won’t be long.” And Lady Evesham, with the lilt of a valse to which she had danced the previous night bubbling from her lips, betook herself to the sunlit, flower-decked snuggery where she and her husband always had their first meeting of the day. “Lal-la, la 1-la, la. la. Ah, how pretty that is!” said she, finishing the phrase of a little trill. “And how well Eupert Leighton dances! But then he’s a sort os modern ’Admirable Crichton’ and he knows it. ” She pulled her white sailorhat from her close-curled head, and then, began to unbutton her ridinggloves. “But I suppose he’s been spoilt. He’s awfully handsome, and he’s had a curious success in making women the fashion. He launched Lady Lowestoft two seasons ago, and I’m sure she’s no great beauty, with her sea-green eyes and white drawn face; yet she’s been all the rage. . Last night he said he meant to make me the new beauty.” A delicious little smile dimpled the corners of her mouth, and flickered in the depths of her gray eyes “Ah! what nonsense I'm thinking. I’d better see what the post has brought.” She turned briskly from the window to the breakfast table; but the coquettish smile still lingered in her eyes as she ran through her morning’s correspondence. “A card for the duchess’ dance on Thursday. Concert tickets from Mme. Borio. Hum!—all the royalties going. I must buy them, I suppose. To meet the prince at Mrs. Samuel Eichstein’s. Heavens! how these Jews do get everybody. Whats th%? An invitation to dinner from Mrs. de Montmorency. Why, that’s the dreadful woman who mad a stall next mine at that bazar affair up in Scotland. Tony Brocklehurst »,oid me she was quite impossible.” She tossed the note aside, and gave a little yawn that just showed two rows of very white teeth and the tip of a scarlet tongue. “What a dull post! I wonder if John Las got anything better?” Her white fingers wandered among the piles of letters by her husband’s plate. “From the steward; from Jenks, the trainer; from the lawyers. Three with the city postmark, five from clubs. That one is from Lady Janet Stepney, I know’—begging, of course, for her orphans, or curates, or indigent mothers; that’s from Bertie Stanhope—what a niggle he writes; and— Oh! this must be what they call a typewritten thing.” Lady Evesham picked from the scattered pile a common square envelope bearing an East End postmark and addressed in type to “The Viscount Evesham, Evesham House, Park lane.” ~ “How queer it seems that a machine should write all that so straight and meat. I’d no idea it looked so tidy «nd business-like. I think 111 make John buy me one to write to my dressmaker with. Typewriting looks so Awfully fierce.” She scrutinized the letters still eloser. “This one isn’t

John at last!” She dropped the letter among the others and ran to greet her husband, who stooped, from his superior height and kissed her very lovingly. A year ago society had called John, Viscount Evesham, aged fifty-live, a fool to saddle his wealth and his freedom with a mere girl as a wife; but his bride had been so sweet, so gracious, so innocently pleased with her new surroundings, and so unaffected, that at the beginning of this her second searson the most cynical had voted the marriage a success and the young viscountess an acquisition. Lord Evesham adored his wife, yet with that tentative worship, that love tinged with doubt, which must always be where the adorer is speeding swiftly down life’s hill upd the object of

adoration is every dtaj growing more lovely and more desirable His first few months of married life, when, as a bride, Lady Evesham had won widespread and open admiration, had been torture to 1dm. Even now his se lf-de preeia tory doubts were only lolled to slumber by the perfectly blameless conduct of his wife. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, my dear,” he began, with old-fash-ioned courtesy, “but the morning was so fine I made sure you would prolong your ride.” “So I might have done, for Mr. Leighton—he has quite constituted himself my cavaliere servante in the Row—was mo$t amusing; but Kittle Hamer joined us, and it's horrid riding three abreast—one has to shout so. I left them at the top of the Row and—” “Leighton rides with you, does he?” queried Lord Evesham, looking over the top of his letters. “Yes, dear, almost always.” And then an utterly unaccountable, foolish blush rose from the edge of her linen collar to where the tendrils of her tawny hair kissed her white brow, until throat and ears and cheeks were alike bathed in the crimson tide. • “Hum!” said his lordship, while Lady Evesham, furious wi th herself at the trick her unruly self-consciousness had plaj-ed with her, took refuge in her breakfast. Silence reigned, broken, only by the faint tinkle of the silver and china and by the rustle of Lord Evesham's letters. Suddenly he started, grew pale, then red, looked from his. wife to a slip of paper in his hand, and back again. What a strange coincidence! “Watch your wife!** in typewritten characters, »stared from the paper before him; opposite was the downcast face of his wife—the face which had been but a moment back dyed with a guilty blush at the chance mention of the name of a mere acquaintance. The next moment he gathered up his letters and left the room. Lady Evesham, too, sprang from her chair. “Why was I such a fool?” she cried to herself in a tall mirror. “What made me do such a hateful, stupid, underbred thing as to blush like a gawky schoolgirl — and at Rupert Leighton’s name, too — a man who—” She did not speak the words that rose to her lips. Only the faint coquettish smile—the smile of a woman who is beautiful, who js flattered, who is beloved—dawned again in the misty depths of her eyes. And it was with that smile that she welcomed Mr. Leighton in her opera box that night, and it was with the same mysterious smile of triumph that, an hour later, she floated round a ballroom in the arms of the man for whom she had blushed so strangely in the morning. Before Lord Evesham’s eyes and in his ears were ever the words: “Watch your wife!” A younger man, one surer of his hold upon a woman's heart, would have shown her the shameful thing. But he was afraid. He tried to keep the burden of. doubt and disbelief to himself; yet Beatrix Evesham guessed at its existence, though she knew neither its origin nor reason. Only she felt that there was no love behind his courtesy, no warmth in his kindness, no faith in his generosity. “Watch your wife!” Lord Evesham watched, and Lady Evesham knew it. One night, at Hurlingham, her wounded pride found vent. Rupert Leighton,»as ever, was by her side as she strolled to the river’s edge, and, with the petulance of a spoilt child, for the first time gave words to her trouble. She was overwrought, and for a few moments she spoke hysterically, incoherently, scarcely recking that she had a listener. Then, with a little sob, she dropped her head on her arms and began to cry, as an angry woman wiU. “Lady Evesham, what you tell me shocks me terribljr! Are you sure—■?”? “Am I sure? I am dogged at every hour of the day. I am questioned about my moments, then doubted to my face. It is most shameful!” “It is moat cruel,” said Leighton, slowly. “Pardon the question, but have you given him any cause—?” “Mr. Leighton! how dare yon!” flashed from her through the cobalt summer night. He bowed humbly before he spoke again.

“Then to what do you attribute this change? Has any other woman—?” She shook her head. Suddenly through the shadows Rupert Leighton's hand stole to Beatrix Evesham's arm, and he drew her so close to him that his breath fanned her hot cheeks. “Lady Evesham, I have an idea. What if your husband is carrying on an intrigue with a woman? What if he fears discovery and subsequent proceedings and is even now making every effort to trump up a counter charge against you?” “Ah! Mr. Leighton, how horrible, how cruel to ruin one woman, and that his wife, at the expense of another—” “Whom he loves,” whispered Leighton. “Do you not see, can you not believe, that this is the truth—that he is tired of you—that your youth and innocence and beauty are not enough for him? Ah! Lady Evesham—Beatrix —let me convince you; let me find proof that what; I say is true.” “Mr. Leighton, I cannot, dare not, ask you to interfere in this most terrible difficulty. You’ve been my friend, my good friend, and I believe you have my happiness and welfare at heart, but—” Leighton's arms were about her now; his heart beat strong against her breast. “Beatrix!” he murmured, .hoarsely, “I have no friendship for you. Love, adoration, passion fills me for you. If I can convince you of the truth of my suspicions give me my guerdon—give me yourself.” She slipped from his arms and fled down the dim pathway. “Where have you been all this time?” said her husband’s voioe, through the dusk. “The horses have been waiting for half an hour.” “I am ready to go,” said Lady Evesham, and, looking neither to the right

nor to the left she swept before him to her earrugo. Lady Evesham slept little that night. Her shattered faith ia her husband’s loyalty and trust Leighton's love, her own unhappiness, jostled in her brain the weary hours through, and it was a very ghost of Lady Evesham who sipped her chocolate next morning and broke the seals of half a doaen letters. Suddenly the blood rushed to her pale face. She sat upright among her lace-trimmed pillows. A common envelope, bearing a typewritten address, quivered in one hand, a slip of paper was in the other. “If you would have a proof, be in private room 3 St the Imperial cafe today at four o’clock.” “No signature, no address,” cried Beatrix Evesham. “But the envelope is enough. The Es are broken like those on that other letter which came five weeks ago. Ah! who can be so base, so wicked, as to wish to wantonly destroy the happiness of two lives?” The big clock over the Imperial cafe had barely struck four when a woman, whose perfect toilet was marred by the singular thickness of her veil, glided into the doorway and asked the way to the private rooms. “Upstairs and to the left.” And scarcely had the lady disappeared when Lord Evesham passed into the building and followed in the fair one’s footsteps. ■* . i His lordship moved quickly, but in spite of his efforts only arrived in the discreet corridor on which the private rooms gave in time to hear the sharp click of a closing door, followed by an exclamation in a voice hp knew too well. The sound came from No. 3. Lord Evesham looked round. Luncheons were over, dinners not yet begun; he ] was alone, and in another second was pressing his eye to the small keyhole. “You here, Mr. Leighton! I don't understand,” said the voice. “Lady Evesham, don’t put me iu the position of having to explain.” It was Leighton who answered. “Explain? Explain what? Ah! a light breaks in upon me. I begin to understand. It is you—you—a gentleman, a friend, who sent the letter to

“JOHN! ARE YOU HERE?” CRIED LADY EVESHAM. my husband which has nearly broken his heart and wrecked my life. It is you, the maker of society beauties, the most popular man in town, who have woven a tissue of lies about me, and have spread a net for me to-day into which my feet have almost strayed. Answer me, Mr. Leighton—why have you done this thing?” Her voice all through had been low and steady. It was Leighton’s which shook as he answered: “Because—because I love you!* “Bah! Men such as you do not know the meaning of that sacred word. The reason I came here to-day was to discover the identity of the person, man or woman, who sent those two letters to my husband’s house. I find you, whom I believed to be a friend, whom I now know to be a foe. and you talk to me of love!” She flung out her hands: “Ah, that I were a man to punish you as you deserve!” Her prayer for a riahteous revenge was answered. The door opened a little space, and the tall, spare form of Lord Evesham slipped into the room. “John! Yoii here?” cried Lady Evesham, laying her fingers across her mouth to stifle the little scream of joy that rose in her throat. “Stand aside!” said his lordship. Then, with upraised arm, he advanced on the culprit. Twice the writhing victim cried for mercy, and twice Lord Evesham muttered: “Coward!” When at last the heavy walkingstick snapped in two, Lord Evesham, without casting one look at what lay at his feet, turned to his wife and led her from the room. Once outside in the dim silence of the corridor. Lady Evesham raised her husband’s hands to her lips and kissed them.

• manic you—rnanK you a mousanci times. But oh! my dear, why did you not trust me?” Lord Evesham bowed low before her. “Dear wife! I cannot regret what I have done to-day. I shall trust you to the last hour of my life.” Then her ladyship reeled a little. “John, dear, take me home quickly. It was an awful sight. I feel—rather— faint.”—London World. An Apron for tb« Needlewoman. Any woman who does much fancy work needs an apron especially for the purpose. For this buy one and a quarter yards shirt bosom linen and tear off two pairs of strings. Turn a square yard in diamond shape and feather-stitch a band across in white floss, leaving a three-cornered bib. One pair of strings depend from this band. In the center of the square feather-stitch another square of linen, also diamond-shaped, around two sides. This last is half a yard square. The two unfastened sides hang down in a triangular shape. Chatline, in white, a Kate Greenaway figure on this point and an initial on the lower point of this pocket. The apron will have a point on either side, to which sew the second pair of strings. Feath-er-stitch around the whole edge of the apron.—Philadelphia Press.

MEXICO'S FREE ZONE. Wktt It It, Vkm It In m4 Iti Krtl Streets ^ -Th» OMMUf of Curing Tmot AcU die tod to she Em of Ct<Mp tasifM There is a had set of cheap men dwelling in Teams along the valley of the Rio Grande. Not only are they willing and anxious to get their food and clothing as cheaply as possible— which spirit is condemned by all good and patriotic protectionists—bat they are ready to speculate by selling cheap goods smuggled over t»e river from the Mexican side. It is oven basely asserted by some that these Texans, in their greed for gain, sometimes forget their patriotism and assist the ‘'Greasers” in smuggling goods into this country. It is taken for granted that the “Greasers” have no patriotism and are willing to risk being caught in their attempts to make a few dollars by smuggling cheap goods into Texas. What has made the inhabitants of the Rio Grande valley so very, very had? It is the “free sone.” What ia this “free aone?” It is a narrow strip of land, nowhere more than twelve miles wide, extending along the Mexican frontier from the Gnlf of Mexico to the Gulf of California. For certain reasons—chief of which was the difficulty of preventing smuggling—Mexico established this free zone and remits duties paid upon foreign goods received within its borders. As it costs more to transport goods from available Mexican ports to this zone than to transport them across the. United States from the gnlf or Atlantic ports, and as under the law of 1386, goods could be transported in bond across the United States without the payment of duties, large quantities of goods have reached this sone from United States ports. | Since the establishment of this free sone Mexico has had no trouble with smugglers on her immediate border. She has, however, had difficulty in quieting the elamor of the rest of her citizens for as cheap goods as are conferred upon the favored residents of this zone. To still these iealous desires to become “cheap men,” by eating and wearing cheap goods, Mexico has several times threatened to treat all her citizens impartially—not by removing all duties, but by abolishing the free zone. She has been deterred only by the threats of her spoiled children, in this free zone, to revolt and to make all manner of trouble, if they

were deprived of their special privilege i of enjoying cheap goods. These favored citizens were not. however, satisfied to enjoy their cheap goods alone. They evinced a willingness, for certain considerations, to share these cheap g»ods with their neighbors acrosathe Rio Grande—where, owing to heavy duties, not paid by foreigners, goods were much higher. The Texans —be it said to their shame—were only too ready to tempt the “Greasers’’ by offering them good bargains for their smuggled goods. In spite of all of the special treasury agents that the United States could place along the Mexican border the smuggling of goods back into the United States has become a leading industry in tl e free zone. At last Uncle Sam has found a way to get square with these '’cheap and nasty” trading ‘‘Greasers” and to a considerable extent to prevent them from depraving the tastes of Texans who are becoming accustomed to the use of cheap smuggled goods. Our last congress passed a resolution authorizing the secretary of the treasury to stop the transportation across this country, in bond, of goods, wares and merchandise going to the free zone. If this move does not stop the little game of the free-zonites it will certainly cause them not a little trouble and increase the cost of goods to them. This will tend to prevent smuggling into Texas. The Texans, however, have become so addicted to the use of cheap goods that it may take some time to cure them and to so far Americanize and protectionize them that they will hate the sight of clkeap foreign goods and would not qse smuggled goods at any price. This ideal patriotic state of mind is attained by but a flew followers of McKinley. These never use foreign goods and are free from the temptations of cheap prices. They prefer to pay two prices for everything. Byron W. Holt. THE LAWS COMPARED. The Story of a McKinley Organ Refuted by the (Ignm. We find in the Cleveland Leader, the newspaper which represents McKinley and his ambition, the following assertion: 'The tariff law which took the place of the McKinley law is full of favoritism to the trusts.” The official copies of the two tariff laws shofv the following duties imposed upon products which are now or recently were controlled .by trusts or similar combinations: Xe» •Af'-Xistey Tariff Tariff. Steel rails, ton.. $ 7.S4 Steel beams, too... 13.41 SU6 White load, pound. — tH cents 3 cents Linseed oil. gallon. 30 cents 32 cents Ingot copper.. Free 1*4 cents Sheet copper.20 per <?t 85 perch Horaeie acid, pound... Scents Scents Refined borax, pound.. Scents Seents Card clothing, foot..... 40 cents . 50cents Refined sugar, cwt.4SH cents. 60 cents Starch, pound. I. 1(4 cents Scents Cordage, pound....10 per ct. HI cents Binding twine, pound.. Free 7-10 cent Cotton bagging, yard... Free 16-10 cents Harrows, etc... Free 45 perch The estimate of the sugar trust's protective duty in the new tariff, 42K cents per hundred, is that of Mr. Aldrich, the republican leader and expert in tariff legislation in the senate, whose comparison of the two duties is expressed in the words "42}£ as against 60 in the law of 1890.” The paragraph which puts harrows J on the free list is as follows: “Plows, tooth and disk harrows, harvesters, reapers, agricultural drills, and planters, mowers, horse rakes, cultivators, threshing machines and cotton gins.” If the leader knows that the manufacture and sale of anr one of the other farm implements or machines here : mentioned are controlled by a combi-1 nation agreement, the example can be J added to the list. Concerning the bar

row combination the Hew York m* preme court said: “It Is hard to conceive how a monopoly could be more firmly Intrenched, or how competition could be more effectually strangled." The combination of steel beam manufacturers has been dissolved; the steelcombination controls the rail industry; for some time past the producers of ingot copper have had no effective agreement. A majority of the reductions would have been larger if the original Wilson bill had been passed. The combinations were assisted in the senate by a little group of men who were democrats in name, but republicans in sympathy and purpose, so far as “favoritism to the trusts" was concerned, and by an alliance of theee asm with the leaders of the republican side. We advise our McKinley contemporary in Cleveland and other republican Journals which are repeating the assertion we have quoted above to read the new tariff aet and compare the duties imposed by it upon the products of combinations with the corresponding duties in the McKinley aet, which theyyprofess to regard as “the wisest arnica vest of tariff laws yet framed.** —N. Y. Times MORE EVIDENCE. Why American Woolens Cam Now Seek a Foreign Market. Less than a year ago British manufacturers and merchants were startled by large sales of American carpets in England at prices that secured preference over the English goods. That was under the McKinley tariff, which taxed highly the wool from which the carpets were made, and also imposed a heavy duty upon foreign-made carpets for an imiginary protection to the American manufacturers. Now that the removal of the. wool duties has placed our manufacturers on an even footing with the rest of the world as regards raw materials, American woolen cloths are being offered for sale in Badford, Eng.,the great woolen center of the world. Consul Meeker reports to the state department that a Bradford merchant had shown him samples of American woolen suitings which were purchased for 50 and 60 cents per yard. T ie buyer of these goods was astonished that they could be made in America and sold at so low a figure. The explanation of this incident antedates the event itself. The Bradford Observer publishes each year a careful review of the textile trades for the preceding twelve months, which i prepared with exceptional care and d scernment. In reviewing the course < f trade in 1894, aqd forecasting the ef« i »cts of free wool for American manu1 icturers, the Observer said: “With a twelve-cent duty on im* ] orted wool the American article was, s it were, ‘walled in.' and had to be lade the best of, often for purposes i or which it was not suitable, with a i orresponding evil effect upon native roods. English manufacturers, being eft free to select the most suitable vool for any purpose, were thus able o produce the best possible article at ;he lo west possible price; and this condition was of vital importance ih enabling them to fight successfully the high duties upon goods. This position of affairs no longer prevails. American manufacturers have, like ourselves, the free eboice of the wools of the world, and in the future, instead of being compelled, for fiscal reasons, to stick to a few lines of wool which their competition made dear, they can now buy the cheap wools which were formerly left texus, and of which we made good use in the competition for their trade in finished goods." Bradford enjoys peculiarly sensitive relations with the United-States, and this view of the benefits to be derived from free wool has been substantiated by the event which Consul Meeker relates. The taxes upon the crude materials used in manufacturing, which have been persistently retained by the protectionist tariff framers, are the greatest burdens that have been carried by American industries Add free raw materials to the mechanical advantages which our manufacturers enjoy, and' the markets of the world are open to them.—Philadelphia Record.

MACHINE-MADE SHOES How America Has Been Forcing England Hack in the Shoe and Leather Trade. ' The strike of English workingmen against the employment of improved American machinery in the boot and shoe making industry of that country is incidentally ai. indication of the way America has been forcing England back in the shoe and leather trade year by y ear ever since our manufacturers got free hides. As a result of free hides and improved machinery w* are now in a position to command the leather and shoe trade of the world. Our methods have revolutionized the industry here and in Europe, and to meet our competition England has been obliged to adopt them. - In I860, when the MeKay machine wa> introduced, all boots and shoes were made by hand. Fifteen years later machine-made shoes had begun to come into general use, but it was not until the Goodyear machine was introduced in 187a that the industry was completely revolutionized. The extent of this revolution may be imsigined from the fact that our entire product of leather was only $32,000,000 in 1.880, while in 1891 our exports alone amounted to $30,000,000. not including manufactured articles. Of boots and shoes in 1SS0 we produced $168,030,000, and by 1890 this great total had grown to :5220,000,00a The growth eontinues, and the next census will probably see a production treble that of 1SSQ. We have a great advantage over Europe in leathermaking, as we can get hides and the ha rk to tan them much more easily and we are more accustomed to handling improved machinery. ’Pen years ago it was hardly genteel to wear a machine-sewed shoe. Now few wear any other kind, and prices have been so cheapened that iue best shoe can be bought now for what the worst cost in 136a It is both foolish as d futile for the English cobblers to fight the machines.—N. Y. World.
