BY EDITH AllANDALE. All GIXG’S welcome when I came, a bride, to the ranch was not of the warmest. The dusky adobe wall, throwing him into picturesque relief, he stood on the ranchhouse veranda, his face Juil of suppressed excitement. “You teiie me," he muttered, “who boss, now Mr. Allandale get mallied?” “All same as before,” was my ready' rejoinder. The crafty features relaxed, ami Ah •Ging disappeared kitohenward, his pigtail having struck the dominant note in my first impressions of Yaquero "Water. t'adric smiled at me approvingly. ‘•‘Glad you were so diplomatic, else he’d have left by the morning stage. It’s awfully unromantic, darling, but the drivp has made me beasly hungry. Let’s ace what the old chap has for us." We dined in a long, low room, hung with spurs and sporting prints, souvenirs of English days, the happiest •Couple in California. In its lack of excitement, ranch life proved disappointing. Lynohings were unknown — bandits and desperadoes conspicuous by their absence. So life flowed on, smoothly, monotonously. till after the birth of Billikins. Ah Ging then announced his departure. “Better girl cook," he declared. "No likee baby. Heap tlouble. Allee time civ.”

The next Celestial left after a hasty glance at the kitchen wall. “Me fluid." he explained, pointing to a red hieroglyphic unfortunately unnoticed by us. **Ah (Hug he write: ‘Debbil in this house.’" ‘‘lie meant the baby,” suggested Cedric. "lie say debbil. Me go. No China boy stay here. Heap scared of debbil." "Try a girl,” implored Cedric. "It’s no joke driving ten miles a day to the station." We tried, in turn,.Gretchen, w ho left within the week to “learn religion;” Bridget, who declined working under au Englishman; the widow, whose tears, as she recounted her woe*, sixzled •over the stove; I>icie. w ho disliked lowwages. though she found no fault with me; and Samantha, who objected to the lack of “scenery.” Useless to point out the Brush Hills’mellow -harm.distant mountains, oak-riot ted meadows, Samantha remained obdurate. “It may •uit you Mrs. VI landale." she commented, pityingly, “to see nothing but land. I like it like it was in Tulare. There you kin see houses thick as peas in a pod •n’ people |>assin' all day. That’s the scenery for me. so I guess I’ll pack my freight." Which she proceeded to do; and had barely driven out of sight when a young girl, tall, slim and neatly dressed, Stepped ou the veranda. “If you plese. ma’am,” she quietly •aid. “I heard that you wanted a girl;’ can I have the place?” I heard her history, which was simple. The previous year she had come from England to join her brother on a claim, had fallen ill, had gone to the county hospital at la Huerta, and had come theuce to me. While hearing these details, Cedric returned. But one conclusion could be drawn from his utter dejection. “No girl,” was stamped on •very feature. Samantha had recommended me to Odessa Green, who, less exacting in regard to scenery, was willing to leave the family pig-pen for a month's change, provided the washing *was put out, Mr*. Allandale helped with the dishea, the afternoons were free, and a horse every Sunday was at her disposal. I knew the type, ignorant, •latternly. familiar. Contrasting with it the newcomer, my resolution was f taken. “No, Cedric, I have a servant already.” t “Where did she come from?” “La Huerta, where she has been in the hospital.” “Is she pretty T" “That’s an irrelevant question. Yes, rather—blue eyes and short, curly. Yellow hair.” “You know nothing about her.” “But I know that Billikins haa the whooping-cough. I must nurse him, and you cannot cook. Help in needed, and behold Anne.” “So that’s her name?” “Yea. Anne James.” • He still demurred. I t

“Prudence is an admirable virtue, Cedric, but you carry it to an extreme.” Cedric yielded, still holding- to his. own opinion. “Keep her! Keep her!** he cried; “but remember, if anything happens, be it .on your head.*' Since the days of Ah Ging, life had not been worth living. Anne came, and comfort followed after. Capable, retiring, a vague sense of mystery pervading her, she proved in our monotonous existence a source of inexhaustible interest. “I scent a romance?” Cedric declared; “when Anne draws near, find out about her.” “She is so reticent—a contrast to Samantha.” “Teach her something. Learning unlocks a woman’s tongue.” So Anne was instructed in more housewifely mysteries and grew more communicative. But Cedric received all details of her past with scornful incredulity. “Papa” was a barrister. Anne herself had- been born in the sacred precincts of tha temple. Their crest figured as a dove. “Fancy one’s parlor maid having a crest!” he ejaculated. For a briefless barrister he had done singularly well, marrying a niece of the celebrated countess of Melligan. Many a torrid afternoon was whiled away with descriptions of the Irish castle where the wedding took place, the beauty of the bride, the eccentricities of the noble aunt. Cedric scoffed, still crying for niore. Oue languorous September day, ensconced in the veranda’s shadiest nook, we gazed on the brush hills and sighed vainly for a breeze. Cedric broke the stillness. “What about Anne? No news of late?” “She has a sister who lives in France and is possessed of independent means.” A look of reproach shot from his dark blue eye. “You told me that last week,” he murmured. “And did not tell you that she goes by the name of Lady Emily Brown.” “Brown! Why, she married a Frenchman.” “T rue.” “Why lady? What title has he?” “None. I particularly asked Anne." “Absurd! IL^oould not be ‘Brown’ or she ‘lady’ indeed, the title is in her own right. In that case your pearl of a handmaiden is an ‘honorable!’. The Honorable Anne brings out the tray.’* he added, as she approached our corner. “No, it’s all false, you may depend upon it. Ask McPherson what he thinks; he is coming up the drive.” Fergus McPherson—caution personified—opined thsst Anne had lied. He put it plainly: “Deceitful in speech, deceitful in deed. “Better watch her, Mrs. AJlandale.” My suspicions were not excited. In California nothing is impossible. Had not a scion of a lordly house died on a j neighboring ranch—a lonely, neglected j sheep herder? No. It was the uneasy air and restless look increasing day by day. I heartily wished for some pretext whereby Cedric, dispatched into La Huerta, might inquire into the antecedents of the Honorable Anne. Chance j favored me. “McPherson has been telling me,” be- ! gan my spouse, a few days later, “about some bloodhounds in town that belong

•1 HEARD THAT YOU WANTED A GIRL- ' to the sheriff. They are A 1 at tracking criminals—borrow them all over the state. Beastly shame it’s such a journey—it would be rather jolly to see them— “Why not go? A change would do you good— “Go! And who would milk the cowT' “I. myself— “You? Nonsense!” “Who is the sheriff?” I idly asked, meditating my next move the while. “Waite—rHiram Waite.” “Our Honorable— who had entered, bearing that ranch stand-by. a smoking bowl of “mush.” started, growing visibly pale—fresh food for uneasiness. Clearly, to learn the art of milking was imperative. The woman won. as usual, t»nd Cedric, before the week was over, started for La Huerta, with strict injunctions to interview both hospital superintendent and sheriff. In charge of the ranch were myself. Bilkins and the Honorable Anne. Uneventfully passed the firrft few days; but on Monday, from the veranda, I espied a band of men, who. leaving the country road, came slowly up the drive. Anne, perceiving them, grew white to the lips, and. bearing Biikiaa, precipitately fled. “Good evening,” the leader began, as he lifted his sombrero. “We’re a kinder rough sight for a lady. You see, we’re a posse over from Tulare, trying to find ! a man named Smith. His tracks, they seemed to p'int this way. Ain’t seen any stranger round here lately?” “No, indeed.” “No wood-chopper, nor nothing?” “No. none. What has this man dona? What does he look like?” “Beal nice and young and kind. Not more'n a boy. Murdered a man over there. Here’s his description.” and he handed me n coarsely-printed “Bn

ward." “Well, boys, get a more on. We’re on our way to La Huerta,” ha added, “to borrow Waite’s dogs. Well, good-day, ma’am. Better not harbor any strangers.” A moment more and, left alone, I thoughtover the situation. Cedric gone, no neighbor near, and a murderer at large whose steps “p’inted this way.” Suddenly it was borne in upon me that Anne was the fugitive! A firm believer in woman’s intuitions, yet hoping desperately that mine was at fault, I unfolded the paper the sheriff gave me. It tallied well. Moroseness, agitation, all were explained. Did Anne guess that her identity was known, my life, I feared, would pay the penalty. To ignore the situation, live through the night, if possible,*and trust to some one turning up in the morning was all that could be done. Milking time brought fresh terrors. How guard one’s self, with both hands engaged letting down floods of warm, innocent milk! Dinner was eaten hurriedly. with the same feeling of uneasiness. Biilkius tucked in his crib, Anne retired early, and, every sense on the alert, I was left alone Vo watch the nursery door. It fascinated me. Who would open it? Anne, to Hide among the canyon* till the posse had returned to its Tulare home? Or Henry Smith, to make an end of me and flee? Truly, the ranch monotony was broken at last. Solemnly the clock tieked, slowly the hands went round, an hour passed. A movement in the adjoining room, and literally my blood ran cold. That had hitherto seemed a mere figure of speech. The sound ceased, and still I watched the nursery doer. At last, when my brain would have turned with more, I heard a sound which, faint at first, grew louder and louder. *‘Oh, heaven,” I cried, “the bloodhounds!" aud fell senseless to the ground. Slowly returned to consciousness, my gaze fell on Cedric, the La Huerta sheriff, and Anne—Anne anxiously applying restoratives! "Take him away," I gasped; "he will murder us." "You are raving!” cried Cedric; "that is Anne.” "Xo; Smith, the murderer. The bloodhounds tracked him to the very door." Here Hiram Waite thought fit to interpose. "Guess I can straighten out this kink. Mrs. Allandale, You did hear the hounds, they're tip at the barn now. Your husband he heard at La Huerta we was beat in* up this part of the country. so he lit out for home, thinkin* you’d be scared. We caught our man hidin’ by the 'Dobe Hill, and the Tulare boys took him back to town. Your husband and me was tired, so we made tracks for here. Sorry *bout the dogs, might ha* known they'd scare you.” The Honorable Anne next day gave warning. "If you please, ma'am, you and Mr. Allandale have been very kind, and I love Mr. BilUkins like my own, but I can’t stay where I’ve been so misjudged." "More candor on vour part would have prevented your being misjudged.” She blushed. “I often wanted to tell you, ma'am—what I first said wasn’t true. I came from England when I was a baby. I haven’t any brother, and I never went to La Huerta.” "Ah’”

“The kinder you was, ma'am, the meaner l felt; and I was afraid Mr. Allandale would go to the. hospital; ar.d, worst of all, my heart stood still when he spoke of Mr^-Waite. For he and my stepfather are cousins* and I was afraid he would guees who I was." “Your stepfather?” “Yes’m. mother married Jim Wait« the second time, and it was him that came with the posse and frightened me. He Was sueh a bad, cruel man that I couldn't stand it, so I ran away." “How did you happen to reach Vaquero Water?** “With some friends in one of those big wagons they call ‘prairie schooners.’ Tulare folks go to the coast every year, but they don’t dare go there straight; it’s too much change. They always stop at the iron spring to cool off first.” To cool off at 90 in the shade! “Soon as we came to the spring 1 heard about you, and thought I’d try for the place.” “But how much better to have told me the truth." “I knew Mr. Allandale wtfs English, ma’am, and they are that particular I was afraid he’d send me home.” “Surely the story of Lady Emily Brown was unnecessary.” Anne’s eyes flashed. “It’s every word true, ma’am. Not that I ever saw her— she was b$ father’s first marriage—but it’s true. Why. they lived in a beautiful house in St. John’s Wood, and the night before they went to Paris the prince of Wales dined with them.** “And do you believe it, my dear?** asked Cedric, on hearing the latest version. “She believes in family traditions. But she will care less about such nonsense when she is Mrs. Hiram Waite.” “Why, she met the man only last night.” “Something will come of it; trust a woman’s intuition.” “Thanks, no!” he retorted, with a cheerful grin. 4‘Xo telling into what mare’s nest I might be led. Nevermind, darling, you did your beat. We can’t all be born detective*.” Cedric to the contrary, any prophecy come to pass, and our Honorable Anne was transformed into Mr*. Hiram Waite. At last account* the was well and happy, supplying the boarders at Waite’s hotel with meal* at “four bit* a head.” While we on the ranch are still wondering whether the countess of Melligan and the Lady Emily Brown are myths.—San Francisco Argonaut. —Half a dozen East Searsxnont (Me.> women had a painting bee the other day and painted the new cemetery fence.

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION. Tke President's Policy la Carefully Expedient. The most noticeable feature of the discussion about the currency commission was the utter absence of any higher tone in it all than the mere question of party expediency. That the administration owes its power to last fall’s pledges of currency reform seemed to be a consideration entirely eliminated from discussion. Perhaps this is not to be wondered at 60 much; little is to be expected in the way of attachment to pledges from an administration which has spent a twelfth of its lease of life in arranging to repay campaign contributors through the tariff, to the exclusion of all other subjects of discussion. With such an administration, under such conditions, it need not excite surprise that so poor and pitiful a sop to decency as the currency commission scheme should, after it had been ! prepared and publicly announced as i about to be transmitted to congress, be I withheld, while the republican politii cians wrangled over the question of its | expediency. Hanna, it appears, favored the trans- ' mission of the message. Not that Hanna had any idea that congress would do anything on the subject if it was sent in, for Hanna knew full well how completely at odds the republicans in congress were, underneath their surface semblance of harmony, and how hard it had been to bold congress together long enough to straighten out the conflict of selfish interests over the tariff. But Hanna reasoned that the contest in Ohio, in which he had so vita\ a concern and upon the ! result of which will depend his reelection or the loss of his seat in the | senate, is to hinge in great degree upon I the financial question. An indication ' by the administration that it favors I legislation which will prevent future I drains upon the gold reserve might | catch the business men in the state and | thus strengthen the republican cause. Hanna was well aware that no action | would be taken by the senate upon the president’s recommendations, if made, but he believed, apparently, that the | mere making of such recommendations would be accepted as proof of the sini cerity of the administration, and, by | giving press ond people something else : to talk about, steer them away from the dangerous ground of the Dingley tariff. The eastern republicans in congress, as a rule, took the other side of the argument. They feared that the financial Issue might again be thrust into prominence at- a time when their business constituentswere demanding rest from discussion and opportunity to adjust themselves to the new conditions of the Dingley bill. They asserted that they were deluged with letters from merchants. manufacturers and bankers urging the unwisdom of a renewal of the controversy over the financial question until the exigencies of a political campaign should demand it. So the president, “simply a careful gentleman, much too amiable and too impressionable to be safely intrusted with the great executive office.” balanced the pres and cons of currency reform on the pole of expediency and hesitated. How happy might he be with either, were t’other dear charmer away!—Albany (N. Y.) Argus.

HIGHER PRICES. th About the Operation of the 3i«r Tariff. A pound of fact is worth a ton of theory in estimating the effects of the new tariff law. The Wo M is giving the facts as to the advance in prices which some days ago it said would be the one certain result of the Dingley bill. The grocers have already advanced the price of sugar six-tenths of a cent a pound, merely as a preliminary increase. The consumers of the country will pay to the treasury at least $25,000,000 and probably $30,000,000 more for their sugar under the new law than they did under the one which it displaced. The exactions of the sugar trust will add millions more to the eost as pure robbery. The testimony of merchants shows that there has already been an advance of “from ten to twenty-five per cent, on all woolen goods.” It will cost more to keep warm next winter. Hides have advanced by reason of the new tax, and an increase in the cost of boots and shoes, from 30 to 50 cents a pair, is expected. An advance of prices all along the line is inevitable. As an offset to this one of the merchants asks: “But isn't the consumer better off if he gets more money?” There is much virtue in an if. Will the cousumer get more money? This also will be a question of fact rather than of theory. The consumers will know—the politicians and the protected class need make no mistake about that! They knew in 1890 and 1892. “It was the shopping women w ho did it,” said Speaker Heed, in explaining the republican overthrow In those years. In certain lines of production it is not unlikely that wages will advance somewhat as the result of reviving industry. But there is small probability that the increase in wages will equal the increase in the coat of living. For the large class of salaried persons there is even less prospect of a compensating advance in pay. Aa the proo^f of a pudding is in the eating, eo the proof of a law is in its working. The World intends to present an accurate and impartial record of the operation of dM new tariff.—X. Y. World. -It is painful to note that right in the beginning of the tariff-made prosperity that the immense cotton mills at Fall Hirer, Manchester and Lawrence are shutting up. In his closing speech on the tariff bill just enacted Mr. Dingley told us that the bill would “open up new opportunities for our own labor, which will be the beginning of that prosperity that was dispelled in 1898." Now it is in order for Mr. Dingley to explain why his bill dosat work.-—CUca (If. Y.) Observer.

WHICH IS IT? Prosperity m Viewed ta Its Propel Lisht The clearing- house returns at last indicate an increased volume of fcisiness and prosperity for some of the people, if not for all. The total for last week shows an increase of 25 Ji per cent, over the total for the corresponding week last year. But this must not be accepted as the true measure of the increase in the volume of substantial business. In the first place, the very large increase in New York—37.8 per cent.— suggests that most of the increase is due to greatly increased activity in speculative transactions, and a comparison of the stock exchange dealings will show that such is actually the case. Outside of New York the increase was only 9.9 per cent. In the next place, the increase in substantial trade is due in no small measure to advances in prices. The actual volume of commodities exchanged is not so much greater as the returns on the surface would indicate. Dun & Co. report a decided advance in wool and say that manufacturers “are able to obtain an advance of about ten per cent, in prices of goods.” It is notorious that wheat is much higher than it was a year ago, owing to the deficiency in the supply from other countries which usually produce a surplus for export, and farm products generally are higher than they were a year ago. Possibly one-half of the nominal increase in the amount of exchanges out- | side of New York may be due to greater j quantity of commodities exchanged. | The remainder is due to higher prices and more active speculation. The farmers, or such of them as produce foodstuffs, are in reality more I prosperous because their crops are unuj sually good and at the same time the foreign demand for their produce is I unusually strong. They are getting I higher prices than usual for larger crops. But the new tariff, except as to the single item of wool, is not benefiting them at all. On the contrary, it is largely neutralizing the prosperity I coming to them from natural causes, I because it enables the manufacturers j to exact from them higher prices for | their goods and wares. Yet the republican tariff magicians | audaciously take to themselves all the i credit for the timely sunshine and rain i and for all the conditions which for the I time being improve the foreign demand ! for the farmer's crops. But the farmer | will find out the true state of the case ! when his foreign customers, repelled by [ our hostile tariff, shut out. our farm I products and seek other sources of [ supply. European purchasers of our foodstuffs and even of our cotton are even now doing all in their power to stimulate production elsewhere, so that they can supply their wants without- being dependent upon a country so illiberal and hostile commercially as ours is under republican rule. It will not be long before they will teach our farmers that the republican policy of commercial I isolation ami war is the worst possible \ for their interests, aud that the pretense of protection for them is a cheap invention, intended only to reconcile them to tariff robber)- for the enrichment of monopolies.—Chicago Chron« j icle.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. -The announcement that foreign. nations are preparing to resent the recent tariff act is not strange. The art of self-defense is by no means obsolete. —IN. Y. Journal. -Expenditures still exceed the receipts by a good figure. Perhaps President McKinley had bettereall congress in extra session to pass a tariff to raise revenue, private interests having had their innings.—Indianapolis News. -We are going to get more money for our wheat, corn and cotton than ever before. The question of the Dinglev bill is how much of this money the producers will be obliged to hand over to Dingier bill trusts who are am- I buscading the high road to prosperity, i —>N. Y. World. -Let the republican papers be generous in regard to these large payments of mortgage indebtness in the west, of which so much is said, and tender apologies to the last administration and the j Wilson tariff. Although only justdis- | covered, the payments could not all have been paid since the intruduction of j the Dingley bill.—Des Moines Leader. -By charging extravagant prices j to American consumers the protected monopolies can underbid in Europe and thus make a market there. So long as the European legislators do not retaliate and the American consumer does not revolt at paying out his money for dear goods that foreigners may buy cheaply, this scheme ought to work very well—for the monopolists.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. -As Mr. Sherman was forced out of his senatorial seat to make room for Mr. Hanna, how would it do to retire him from the cabinet in favor of the Cleveland ironmaster? His days of usefulness are obviously over, and the junior senator from Ohio could much more appropriately undertake to run the country from the state department than from his desk iu the United States senate.—Providence (R. I.) Journal. -Consumers are early learning that under the Dingley bill they are confronted by a hard, tangible condition and not a mystical, intangible theory. Prices of all necessaries are going up without the least promise of an increase in the income of wage-earners. New York grocers hav - advanced the price of sugar six-tents of a cent a pound. This is just a starter. From this increase the sugar trust will reap a reward of $23,000,000, as the Dinglej bill intended it should. There has alsc been an advance of from ten to 25 per cent, on all woolen goods. The new law has caused an advance in the price of hides, and an increase in the cost of boots and shoes from 30 to SO cents a pair win follow.—St. Louis Republic
