Race BYHAWLEY CHAPTER X. (Continued.) Grenville had made up his mind th&t he was iow -r!css; but still, all the same, Maude's letter must be answered. This, a?ain, was not so easy to do. When the girl you are in love with appeals to yon tearfully to save her from being married to somebody else, the obviou.s course would seem to be to run away with her yourself. Hut. as George Eliot says, "Running away, especially wh.n spoken of as 'absconding.' seems, at a distance, to offer a Rood modern substitute for the riht of sanctuary ; but seen closely, it is iften found inconvenient and scarcely po-ible." So. though to emulate young Locl.invar and bear off your fair Ellen Df Xetherby may seem the proper thing to do oa the first blush of such occasion, yet, on mature reflection, it may prove hardly feasible. Mrs. Lochinvar must be clothe! and fed, w'-.ile the reiving and raiding by which thrt adventurous gallant doubtless supported the lady of his love ivoald, in these days, be known by the prosaic term of "robbery with violence." The vttention of Colonel Henderson and bis myrmidons, the giave consideration of his countrymen, and an eloquent oration, rather to his disadvantage, by a criminal oourt judge, would probably be the termination of young Lochinvar's career in these days. What is he to write? What is he to s&y? Can you not guess? Of course he will fit down and do the very thing he should not. He can't help, but he can complicate her troubles. Ixve Is essentially a selfish passion. Having no consolation to offer her, no assistance to render her, he betakes himself to his desk and pours forth his story of love and lamentation, lie exhorts her not to marry Pearman, but gives her nohint of how she is to combat the difficulties that surround her. He pours forth, in good, honpst, genuine terms, the tale of his love; he dwells on the certainty of his having a home ere !ong to offer her through his awn exertions, and winds up with a tremendous peroration about having loved her from her cradle. He has done nothing of the kind. His love is a child of something under a twelvemonth's growth ; and though I fear &U lovers romance, fearfully, they thoroughly believe in their figments at the tiue. Then comes another iheet of postscript about "can she love him?" he shall know no rest till he rets fcer answer. And after it is all done and posted, Grenville Rose feels more uneasy than ever. He is not thinking ? much of poor Maude's troubles as Waat will she say to his declaration of love? He racks his brain for every trace of favor she has shown him all the post year. Sweet and cousinly she has been ever, but no sign of love can he recall. Pool that I have b-.n!" he mutters; "I have been so careful not to give her a hint of my feelings. I wish I had that letter back. No. I doi't. I don't know, n short and the last fragment contained pretty well the gist of Grenville's thoughts at present. CIIAITER XI. Maude, as she has already explained, has been havin? a hard time of it at Glinn these last two or three days. Life has been all so easy to her so far, that he hardly realizes the facing of this, ker first genuine trouble. She is awaiting the post anxiously this morning; Gren is certain to write to her by return, and tier belief in Gren is unbounded. Once more the icy breakfast table she o dreads. Her father looks at her as a culprit who would subvert the old Grecian story, and sacrifice her parent instead of presenting her throat to the knife. Mrs. Denison evidently looks upon her as a sainted martyr. She loves and lympathizes with her daughter; she approves of her spirited refusal, but she ?annot desert her old idols. "The king an do no, wrong." Harold Denison'g pinion must be hers outwardly, though in her heart of hearts she may rebuke herself for not being on her daughter's tide. "A letter from Grenville for you. Maude," said her father, as he threw it across. She ami her cousin were regular correspondents, so that it excited no remark; yet the mother noticed that the rirk instead of tearing it open as was her woLt, slipped it quietly into the pocket it her dress. Maude felt as if she possessed a talisman against her troubles, and determined to read it in the solitude f her own chamber, and there she betook herself as soon as breakfast was over. Her cheek flushed as she perused it, id the large grey eyes opened wide "tn astonishment. Grenville's tale of )nate love would have moved mo : iris, albeit he has not as yet in the pages figured to any great advanta.' still Grenville Rose had a shewd eno.j,;h head apon his shoulders, and was a cornel v man to look upon, to boot. He told his lov well, and few maidens, even if tbey do not reciprocate it. can listen unmoved when that old-world story is passionately told them. There was plenty of warmth in Grenville's fervent pleading, and after reading the letter through twice. Maude dropped the paper on her lap, and, utterly oblivious to her troubles, fell into a reverie. It seemed so strange. She had lowed and admired Gren as Ion;; as she could remember, but she had never thought of hJin in this way at least, she did not think so, and yet, almost unconsciously to terself, of late she ha 1 been more solicitous about gaining his good opinion and pleasing him than of yore. "To think Gren should care about me in this way!" she murmured "and I ri I lrv liim T don't know, nicer, and better, and cleverer than anyone I ever met. Why didn't he tell rue this when he was here last? I think I'd rather have heard it from himself. Ah ! but doesn't he tell me why not?" and the girl once mor took up the letter and read: AI1 this, my darlrig. has been on my lips for months, bnt o: could I tell you? how could I seek your love who had not even a home to offer? What the struggle has been to see you so often, and yet keep down what surged within me, I only know. When I kissed your cheek at parting last time, I nearly clasped you In my arms and poured out the secret of my soul to you. I did not ; it seemed madness it Is perhaps madness now ; but, my darling, I could not lose you. When you tell me that another seeks the prize I covet, right or wrong, I must speak. Maude, you must decide between us. Can you trust me, and wait?" Once more the letter fell in her lap, and the softened grey eyes and slightly flushed face augured well for Grenville Rose's wooing. "Yes," she muttered, softly, "I think I love him now as he would have me ; and if I don't quite yet for it seems all no new to me I know I could shortly. Gren, dear, what am I to write to you? I think it must be 'Yes.'" It was wrong, she thought, to keep Gren in suspense when he was so dreadfully in love with her; so that night's mail bore a timid, fluttering little note, the receipt of which produced a tremendous state of exhilaration in that young Templar. Cut poor Maude, after the first flush of exultation that entert the breast of every girl at a welcome declaration of love, quickly awoke to the fact that her position was not a whit improved by it. giie confided her engagement to her moth

O

for a Wife o o SMART er, and for the first time in her life Maude beheld Mrs. Denison really angry. "I'm surprised and disgusted with Grenville," said that lady. "It's too bad of him, taking advantage of a child like you in this manner. I like him, always have liked him, and, undoi different circumstances, would have sooner seen you his wife than any man's I know. Hut he can barely keep himself as yet, and must know thct his thinking of a wife at all is foolish in the extreme, and that thinking of you is simply absurd. II's behaved very badly, and if j'ou don't promise to write ant' break it off, you can say, by my desin . I shall tell your father all about it.' "Oh, mother, you won't do that," said Maude. "Not unless you oblige me," said Mrs. Denison. sternly. I'oor Maude was electrified. That the mother she had been always accustomed to et, and do as she liked with, should suJdenly rise against her like this, was Iast her comprehension. Yet to anyon? who has made character his study, nothing can be more in accordance with the u ual law in such cases. Weak, feeble characters, when, either from caprice or driven by necessity, they exert such power as may be in their hands, invariably do it tyrannically and despotically. Mrs. Denison has suffered of late from the stern rule of her lord and master. In spite of all her love for her daughter, she has become dimly conscious that there will be no peace at Glinn unless Maude yields assent to the ukase Harold Denison has promulgated. Women of her class can suffer, but they cannot resist. Even now she would not urge Maude to marry Pearman. But that her impecunious nephew had dared to entangle her daughter in an engagement, especially at this time, roused as much wrath within her as her nature was capable of. Most mothers, I imagine, would deem she had grounds for indignation. All this while Pearman has not been idle. Slowly, but surely, the legal notices and proceedings progress, and Harold Denison knows full well that within three weeks ten thousand pounds must be found, or Glinn must go to the hammer. The Pearmans conduct the campaign with scrupulous politeness. It is quite in accordance with the old traditions of the Battle of Fontenoy. They apologize for every fresh process, f.nd allude to it as a mere matter of form. They affect to believe that there can be no doubt Mr. Denüon will easily pay them off at the expiration of the notice of foreclosure. The old gentleman even indulges in pocularity on the subject. "Mean to have the very last day out of us, I see, sir; and quite right, too," he chuckled, upon meeting the squire one day. "Yes. Pearman," was the grim retort : : "I learned the exacting of my pound of j flesh, to the last pennyweight, in your hands. I have not forgot my lsson. You burn it int. your pupils' minds pretty deeply." The old lawyer has laid himself open to another rebuff, and Denison has not failed to take advantage thereof. Why? Sarcasm breaks no bones, few knew better than that astute "fisher of men." His seniviness was tolerably blunt, and he recked little what men said to him, or of him, so long as the furtherance of th object he had in view was attained. That his son should marry Maude Denison was the goal he now aimed at, and that that was to be brought about, he still thought far from improbable. To that end he conceived, even while pressing btiVi for money, it was quite necessary to kp on easy terms with the squire. None knew better than he how bitter it is for a proud man to take his words back, and if what he now played for was to be achieved, that was a necessity. The task must be made ns easy as possible the unpalatabl? draught sugared as far as might be. "lie he!" he answered: "you- will have your joke, Mr. Denison. It's a mighty pity you couldn't make up your mind to concentrate the property once more. Beg pardon. Squire," he continued, deprecating Denison's angry gesture; "don't fear my alluding to it again. It was presumption on my part, I know, and if I said anything to vex you, I'm sure I'm heartily sorry. You'll forgive an old man, who, not having been brought up with your views, saw nothing but the concentration of an estate. Yes, I know I was all in the wrong; It isn't likely Miss Maude could be brought to think of such a thing. I'm sure I hope the calling-in of the mortgage is no inconvenience : you can easily raise it elsewhere. But Sam's got so deep in the racing now, that we must get that sum together Ik? fore the Two Thousand. I wish he wasn't ; but he's clever, Sam is clever ia his way too great a gentleman for me. No offense, s!r, 1 hope; but I'm a plain man." CHAPTER XII. Harold Denison touched his hat haughtily, and rode home; bu the old usurer's artful speech still simmered in his brain. Why should it not be? It would cut the tangled knot of his difficulties. lie had made inquiries. Young Pearman had been brought up a gentleman, and visited in several good houses in the county. He naturally a little exaggerated this to himself, to justify the course he intended to pursue; nay. for the matter of that, had been pursuing for some days. His wife had told him that sh. had laid the Pearman proposition before Maude, and that the young lady had declined, with thanks ; since which intelligence he had bullied Mrs. Denison, and snubbed or treated his daughter with cold indifference. The heads of the family can make contumacious I children conscious of their high displeasI i re without any unseemly rating indeed. salutary punishment compared to the othei that othrr which, to speak metaphorically, consists in being condemned to the domestic ice Louse. It is hard to describe, still there will be few of my readers who, if they have had the good fortune not to experience it, but must have seen some culprit enduring that slow punishment meted out more often, perhaps, to daughters than sons. But don't we all know it ; the chilling rejoinder that meets any attempt at geniality the austere look mat seems to say it is heresy that we should presume to forget the measure of our offending the moral thong always awaiting us should we show any signs of relapsing into cheerfulness? Bali! those phyrical torturers of the middle ages were mer. bunglers at their craft. From this time poor Maude's life was made heavy to bear. Harold Denison sent for her to his study, and himself put Pearman's proposal before her. He enlarged upon its advantages, and declareJ that it was her duty to save the property to her descendants ; on her head it rested whether the Denison of Glinn should cease to exist, as of course her future husband must take her name. For himself, he cared not he was an old man, and it mattered little to him. Any foreign watering place was good enough for him to wear out his miserable life in. He deplored the follies of his youth. It was sad that a father should plead before a daughter in this wise. He could bear anything but the thought that the Denisons of Glinn should be expunged from the roll of the county in which they

had dwelt and been known since the Wars of the Roses ; all this it was in Maude's Iover to avert. Why could she not marry this man? He hard been brought up a gentleman, and mixed in the best society iu. the county. If not quite her equal in blood, he would repair the shattered fortur.es of the family. Such matches were mad every day. The destiny of the plutocracy was to strengthen the aristocracy. Far be it from him to put any pressure upon her, but it was his duty as a parent to Inj the whole case before her. Gallantly did Maude fight her battl and though at the end of this long interview she stood with flushed and tearstained cheeks to listen to her father's final exordium, she was still resolute in her refusal. Rut the struggle was too unequal. Under the pressure put upon her by her husband Mrs. Denison had not only made Maude write a letter of renunciation tc Grenville Rose, but had penned him a verj severe philippic herself, in which she insisted that all correspondence should cease between them. She had further under the threat of revealing everything to Mr. Denison, extorted a promise from Maude that she would write no more tc her cousin. She knew her daughter well, and felt implicit confidence that, her word once pledged, troth would be kept. I have described the' first stage of the attack. It is a common erough story, as many a woman could bear witness to, as far as the general details go. Can yon not easily guess the result? She was a high-spirited girl, and bore herself bravely in the beginning: but cut off from all communication with her lover, she gave way at last to the moral pressure brought to bear upon her, and, with pale cheeks and heavy eye, whispered her mother "that they might do with her as they liked; if she couldn't marry Gren, she didn't care who it was." (To be continued.)

THE MOTHEB-IN-LAW IN JAPAN. A Direct Caue of the Increase of Divorce In That Country. There is no such thin;; as the mother-in-law Joke in Japan. Of all the serious things that the Emperor's subjects take with their characteristic seriousness the mother-in-law is perhaps one of the weightiest, says the New York Sun. The relation between her and divorce statistics In the island empire recently published by Imperial commissioners shows how inapt would be a joke about one's wife's mother in Tokyo. According to these statistics fw.5lC decrees of divorce wore granted by the courts last year. In Iwale province the projortion of divorces to marriages for the year was 2(.?.0 per cent, the highest iervn tage in all the islands. The commissioners themselves In a commentary iijmmi the Increase of divorces In Japan give it ns their opinion that the rapid increase is duo directly to the growing frequency of clashes between wives and their nioth-ers-lu-law. With the Introduction of nn educative system for girls and the softening of the stringent social bond that used to keep watch in a place of obscurity has come the manifestation of a new and rebellious spirit among the women. Since everything In Japan Is tho nverse of conditions In occidental countries It Is not to be wondered at that If there is any pressure from the fabled hard hand of the mother-in-law It falls upon the Japanese wife and not the husband. This Is because of the very fundamentals of Japanese religion and family life. Since the son must always he loyal and oUilient to his parents during their lifetime, no matter how querulous and exiietlng old age may make them, when he takes a wife that unfortunate woman Is more than her husba.nl a slave to her husband's mother. Fnm the days when Shinto lgan to le the national faith of the Japanese filial affection and olRtlience necessitated a? a mattev f course that though the son might marry his abode should be the abode of his parents until their death unless their consent to another arrangement could be secured. This has meant that two and often three generations occupy one house and f all the occupants of one of thse communal houses the younger wives are the least Important. They remain strictly accountable to their mothers-in-law until such time ns death steps In and makes them supreme. Although in the larger cities the western civilization has to a great extent inclined ancient custom, much of the lrksomeness of ancient restrictions remains In the family life of the country jHKiple. There it Is that the clash Ietweeii the new-found independence of the women, found In schooling, and the old scheme of a dominant mother-in-law has brought alnnit the greatest nuniler of separations in families cf the newer generation. A Boy' Way. Harold was going to a party that evening. As the weather was rather doubtful his father gave him a half dollar and told him to get a cab If it rained when he came home.

How to MaLe a lied. Unless the weather Is very damp. In the morning each counterpane, ..inket, 6beet, pillow and bolster should be removed and spread where they may get the n'r and sun, and allowed to remain tus for at least an hour. If possible turn the mattress before making the bed rgain. Put on the lower sheet, tuck it In at the head, smooth it cvarywhej with the hands to get out the wrinkles; tuck it in at the foot, then one side, tl:en the other, being careful to put it well under the mattress and not tho spring. . Next spread the upper sl'.eet. and do be sure it is tucked snugly under the foot of the mattress (nothing is more uncomfortable than to have the covers loosen from the hot torn or a cold night). . The h'ankets are followed by the counterpane. Have tbese perfectly straight, tuck In at the foot, turn over evenly at the top and tuck in the sides; or. If your spread is a fancy one, let it hang loose. Some like the turndown made before the spread is brought up. Place the holster In position and the pillows neatly upon It to suit Individual taste.

A true housewife should take the greatest pride in her kitchen sink and keep it spotlessly clean. The easiest and best way to clean a galvanized iron sink which has been more or less neglected is to rub strong soap powder Into every corner and over every Inch of surface. Let It remain on for ten or fifteen minutes, then with n stout brush go over the whole, dipping the brush Into 4oiling water. When the sink Is thoroughly scrubbed, polish it with kerosene, rubbing the oil into the Iron and leaving the residue of grease behind. The kerosene prevents It from rusting after the strong soap powder and boiling water are used. Care must be taken that the painted woodwork around the sink does not come into contact with the owder, as it may eat off the paint. The kitchen Blnk fhould be cleaned as thoroughly as this twice a week, and every day carefully rinsed out with hot soap suds. At the Mntroii Club. As the club together sat There ensued some friendly chat. Said a stunning young brunette, "We were married on a bet." Quoth a dame with Titian hair, "We were married on a dare."

Undoubtedly the high ruches are going out as fast as they came in and satin folds and crushed ribbons are being used instead. The shawl collar of satin is again brought into a season of usefulness and even silk collars are worn. They are found upon the coat and are dressy In every respect. Paris predicts that the huge sweeping brim on hals will have to Ik? curtailed, and in Its place will come the narrow one with the high crown of the Henry III. period. Tailored girls are wearing black satlu stocks, which are passed twice round the neck, lapping In front with a handsome buckle ornament. The ends, of course, have fringe on them. Although black evening gowns are popular, says a reiiort from London, soft white satin promises to bo the favorite fabric for dance and dinner dresses for girls and youthful matrons. Fancy braids are shown In bewildering assortments that will find place upon the late winter dresses and suits. Unlike the prim braids of the present period, these little braids will be found useful on waist outlines. Never has so much red leen worn in the hair as this Season. Flowers, or riblKjii, it seems to make little difference, as lo as the shade Is there. The Greek key design developed In soutache uixn velvet Is used largely to outline certain details of the heavy street garment that is worn without a coat. Embroideries carried out In a wonderful variety of metallic threads, including rot only the more ordinary gold and silver, but also copier, platinum and afumlnum, will bo a feature of the most elaborate evening gowns this winter. On the front of a one-piece dress the bodice was decorated in a very novel manner. On one side were buttons of white pearl, while elongated white buttons were stitched on the opposite or left side at the waist. The two fronts, however, were sejKtrated with a small ornament of braid. In Memory of Ilia 31 other. John W.

may be an absolute fit and so easy to iron that "any child could do it" Yet some laundresses without that cer tain appreciation of the cut Of garments and the weave of goods will invariably iron them hit or miss, running the iron on the crossway. or the bias of the moist material, thus ironing the twist in permanently if tho bias method has been employed, or shortening the garment perceptibly if it has been done on the cross weave. It is positively easier for a laundress to iron "with the goods" If the little trick were made plain to her. MaMer Your Mood. Conquer your moods. Don't let your moods conquer yon. Teople who give way to moods never amount to much because they are never masters of themselves. They never know In the morning whether they are going to do a good day's work or not. whether they are going to be a cheering or a depressing influence on the people around them. If they fel like being good tempered they will be. If they feel like "snapping" at everything they will snap. Feople who suffer from moods should be careful about their habits. They should be regular about meals, sleep, exercise and work. The condition of the health has much to do with moods, and there is nothing that contributes so much to health as absolute regularity. Dmdrnff Care. Get a quart bottle German rhine wine; take a teaspoonful and rub it well into the scalp once every week. This will cure the worst form of dandruff. Dry the hair with a coarse towel, don't use artificial heat; don't use water with the wine. Repeat the above until the scalp is white, clean and healthy and dandruff gone. Shampoo your hair once every week and use the wine the following day according to directions. You should never use salt in water with soap when shampooing hair, it prevents r thorough cleansing, causing the dirt to cling to the little beards of the hair and make it sticky.

To Curb Highway Itollery. Senator Clark's bill, designed to curb highway robhery, by increasing the ienalty from two to fourteen year.-? in prison to from ten to twenty years was called up for passage. Senator Yarling moved to amend the bill si that the penalty for highway robbery would be five to fourteen years. Klsticr took exceptions to this and said a man malicious enough to commit such a crime could not be reformed in a period of five years. Senator Kane also held the punishment provided in the original bili was to severe. Juries, he held, would not frequently convict, should the ienalty be allowed to re main in bill. Senator lieal said prose cutors would have a hard time convicting criminals accused of highway robliery if the penalty remained too high. When a standing vote was tak?n on the Yarling amendment it was adopted by a vote of 22 to 10. Scna--r Pearson asked for the ayes and icoes, and the amendment was cinched by a vote of 'JT to 14. Not stumped hr having his amendment, calling for life sentence for second cconviction. defeated, Senator Stotsenburg moved to amend the bill so that the life sen tence con'd be administered on third conviction, and the amendment was idopted. Thirty-seven votes were cast Cor the bill. Prim nr y Flection lar. The primary election law promised by the Democratic State platform is een in the bill Iu trod need by Reprecntatlve Wells, of Allen County. It Is the same as the Downey bill of the session of two years ago, which won some Republican support. Including that of FrOJ I. King, the present minority floor leader.
