Slept so heavily that when he awoke, long after midday, he was surprised to find the fire lighted | and a dainty little breakfast standing ' beside it, also his feet, stretching outside the r. g, we e carefully wrap;el up in one ot his mother s shawls. \ She had been in his room, then makhim “comfortavle,” as was her habit to do, as much as she cou'd—perhaps giving him, unfelt, the kiss that he might not have cared for, the tear which would only have vexed him. Poor mother! And he was her own, her only s: n. Roderick was touched. When he came down stairs the first thing he | did was to look for her a'l over the: bouse, and when they met he kissed her affectionately. “Forgive my being so rude as to go to bed at once: but I was very tirel. And you’ You have been up, spite of | your fatigues, and looking after me as usual? I did so enjoy my nice break-| fast! Thank you, mother.” ‘ He kissed her again, and then sat down, not knowing what else to say. Would she speak nr.t. or must he, on the sub ect which never left his mind for a moment? “Yes, youwere quite wearied out with fimr long journey, my dear boy,” said rs. Jardine. “You must have traveled night and day, to have got back so soon.” “Could I do otherwise, thinking you , were il!, mother? and naturally [ was somewhat astonished ——" ~ “To find us in the middle of a ball?” broke in Bella, who sat surrounded by a heap of wedding finery. “It must have geen a little per; lexing. But we thought that frightening telegram was the best way to bring you home.” Roderick drew back, flushing angrily. . “Hold your tongue, Bel'a,” said the mother. “iut, my dear Rody. | never paid I was ill; T only said 1 was ‘not. well’ which was quite true. How | could it be otherwise, after your! letter:’” i “You did get my letter, then -my two letters?” | “Yes both.” And there ensued an awkward silence ! The criticil moment passed. seized, unhappily. by neither side. for loderick, excessively irritated. waked in- ! stantly out of the room and out of the house. It is astonishing how long clever people—and she was a decidedly clever | woman in her way, was Mrs. Jardine — | ean shirk a dift.cultyv, or avoid an un- | leasant thing. i.e hardly knew how Ft came about, but Roderick had actually been two whole days at home, taking his place at the foot of his]| mother's sumptuous table, and ent r- | taininr, with gentle courtesy and well- | disguised weariness, her endless| guests, falling back into old ways =o compietely that he sometimes asked | himself if the last two months were not merely a morning dream: yet not a syllable had been breathed of his intended marriage or of Miie. Jardine. It was not till the third day after his return, which, being the cay before | the wedding. wa: of neces-ity kept | free from vis'tors, that Roderick suc- | ceeded in finding his mother alone. » Coming into her “boudoir.” as she | called it, the little room oii the draw- | ing-room, which she made her place | of refuge when the was not in sufiiciently grand toilet f{or visitors, he | saw her sitting there, for “five quiet | minufecs,” ” ' “Mother, you cught to rest: vou will be ill if you don’t.” said her ~-'vi;. ooingo ‘ up to her w th honest anxiety. 5 “T'll rest by and by,” she answered, “when to morrow is over. Oh, these weddm:a It’s . all ver well for the young iolks; but—the parents! However, this is the last (me. 1 have no more girls to marry.” “No, mother,” said Roderick, sitting down by her, both out of real tenderness and because he felt that now was the golden moment which must not te let pass by—ior there was a kind look in her eye &nd a tremor in her voice, such as had not greeted him ever since he came home; “no, mother, your daughters are all safely disposed of. And when your son marries he will saiths lly promise that his wedding shall give yo: no trouble.” Mrs. Jardine drew back, then looked at the door, asif feeling herzelf caught in the toils and anxious to esca e; but Roderick held her hand fast; ay, he put his arm round her waist in a tender, filial way; he was determined to “have it out,” as people say, with her; but he wished all to be done in the gentlest and mo t kindly fashion. “Yes, mother, as [ told you, there will, I trust, be another marriage in the family. but——" “Bus not yet. Not for a very long time. I couldn't stand it—indeed I could not. Don't let us talk about that. I am very busy, you see.” “Nay, mother, we must talk about it. I have been waiting to speak to you pver gince [ came home. You are tka

| first and only person I can speak to on l this subject. You must feeP:hat. e “I'eel what? Speak about what? Let me go. Ideclare I don't know what you are driving at, and I can’t put up with any nonsense—nt just now.” Roderick turned pale with anger, but he controlled himself. “It is not nonsense: | explained all in my letter—in my two letters—which you say you received.” “What, all about the little Swiss girl who you fancy is your cousin:” “She is my cousin, there is no doubt of that; at least, remotely so: not near l enough to warrant the slightest ob ection, which I know you have, to cousins mar ying.” ; “Marrying! tut, tut, laddie: who spoke 0. marrying’ Put such folly out of your head at once. Never let me hear of it again, or of her!” ~ “Never hear of her again ” said Roderick, slowly, tho gh hs heart was | “Mother, you misunderstand the matter. You must hear of her. She is | the lady whom I have cho.en for m wife—if I can get her—my wife anfi your daughter-in law.” “Never!” cried Mrs. Jardine. “You had better give the thing up, Rode - ' ick, for I wi% have nothing whatever to do with it, or with her.” i, “Very well,” answered Roderick, and his voice was a deadly quietness. “Now we know exactly where we stand. Mother, you are busy, you :ay, and I hav?’ also an engagement. Good morn- ; ing. : g‘But, you will be back to dinner?" " | He pau ed a moment and then an- | swered, “Certainly. ™ i “And you are not forgetting that tomorrow is the wedding-day:” “I trust I am not in the habit of forgetting any of my duties.” . She looked after him a: he quitted the room, passing Bella, who {'ust. then entered, without a word or look—indeed, he seemed to walk blindly, like a person half stunned, and her mind | misgave her a little. f w * * * * * ! The wedding-day came and passed. It was not a duP; of sentimental emotion; the principal conscionsness which it brought to Roderick was that there were certain inevitable things to do and say, which he did and said to the bst of his ability: thinking the while that his wedding day, did it ever come, | should be as unlike this day as possi- | ble. | So Bella Jardine and her new “gude- { man,” if such a valgar word could be | used for Mr. Alexander Thomson with- | out scandalizing himself and his fami- | ly, which floated away into felicity, | while the hundred or more particular friends who had been invited to see them "turned off,” as the young lady with whom Roderick had t) open the ball expressed it, danced till far into the “sma’ hours” with spirit and en-thusia~-m. In fact, no marriage could have gone off with greater “aciaw,” as Mrs. Jardine declared, and she was . right; her own indomitable onergy,’ good temper, and %ood spirits econ- | tributing in no small degree to that desirable result ; But with all these excellent qualities, one flags sometimes at nearly sixty: and during the so lowing daay, anxiously as Roderick sought a chance of speakinr to his mother, she was, eithe intentionally or unintentionally, wholly invisible. Not till afte ' dinner —nay, nearly bed-time, ¢id the m ther and son come really face to face. :itting alone togethe - in the large. si'ent drawing-room, which 100 ed especiallv drea y: so much so that Mrs. Jardine.saving som thing about “goinr to bed early,” rang or the servants, and conducted, it seemed with more leugthiness than usual, the never omitted family prayers. These over, motner and son were again alone. “Well, my dear,” said Mrs. Jardine, with a rather impressive yvawn, “[ suppose we had better go to bed.” “Not just this minu e, mother.” entreated Roderick. “let me have half a dozen words with you. if you are not too tired. Remember, I start to-mor-row for Neuchatel.” “*Neuchats!—to-morrow! What in the world do you mean?’ | “I toli you that immediately after the wedding I meant to go back to Switzeriand.” L *Why? What lor?” | Roderick paused a moment. “To tee ' Mademoi:elle Jardine, and ask her to become my wife. She is alone and un- | protected, and if she does me the hon- | or to accept me, I think it will be best | to arrange our marriage with as little | delay as possible.” | He said this in as quiet and matter- | of-fact way as he could: yerhaps this { very quietness only excited his mother | i the more. : i “What! would ycu forsake me en|ti ely: I couldn't have believed it of ,you! Oh, Rody, my boy, my only son.” | | She may have been exaggerating "I\.X“!' feelings a little, in orde to work { upon his; still. there wa : a ring of nat- | u al pathos in her voice which took the pcor fel.ow by sworm. | “Mother, dearest.” he sat down by her and affectionately clasped her hand, “who talks of forsaking? Not T, | certainly, You are not going to lose i your son, but only to gain another | daughter—and such a daughter i f i you only saw her! Will you see her? | Will you come back with mes to Swit- { zerland and let us fetch her i home to- . | gether:” ' | He was not wise. not tact'ul, certain- | Iy, this poor Roderick.

Though she was his mother, ,| he was a Jardine and she was not: ) | wrath set better on him than on her; ! because if hereditary blocd teaches | nothing more. it usually teaches that 1 1 celf-restraint which we are accustomed |to call good breeding. “Impudence, I ;%this,k, has never been a vice of our | family: and the lady I have chosen be- ‘ ’ ing of that family, deserves entire respect—which Ishall exact for her trom everybody, including my own mother, Also, excuse me, I stall resent andy in- | sult offered to her, even if offered by

Her sweet firm. yet trem ilous “yes” must ha:e implied her belief in him, which a little dolay would never shake, but only confirm. i Then with an easier mind, and a heart almost happy —so strong is hope at his age—he walked back a street's length in the pelting rain, humming to himself his favorite ditty— - Whenever she cones, she shall find me ready | To do her hon.age -my queen, my queen. : ITO BE CONTINUED § s i The Emperors of Morocco. : The Emperors of Morocco do not suo- | ceed to the crown by right of inherit- | ance.

If he fails and the rival claimant be suecessful, the would-be kings-maker, and all of his kith and kin mav consider themselves fortunate if, by a precipitato flight. leaving all their worldly goods lehind them, they are ahils to escape from death and possibly from torture. The man, thercfore. who sueceeds in placing a sovereign on the throne of Morceco has the strongest possible claim on the gratitude of the autocrat whom he has sue m.s:‘;zlly installed in power. FHow did the late Sultan reward the subject who risked for him his life and possessions? Some time after his accession, when he began to feel himself secure upon his throne, and without oven the pretense of a- uarrel or of an accusation, the late Emperor cast this man into one of his dungeons, and there he remained until a few months ago, whea he was at length released after an impriscnment of fourteen yvears. The motive for this crime was probably f ar lest the chief who had been powerful encugh to raise him te the throne might some day use hisinfluence in favor of another.—Earl ol Meath, in the Nineteenth Century.

Y Point Overlooked. ~_According to a Washington correspon~dent a point that has been overlooked in tomputing the political complexion of the ‘hext Senate is the admission of Utah With two United States Senators. The _act of the last session of Congress admitting Utah provides that in March, 1895, the constitutional convention shall be “held. On the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of #hat year the _coustitution is to be ~«dnitted to the people, and if reuned and found by the %%n. i Lobe in accordance with the WM Issue a proclamation admitting It as a State. The act also provides that & representative of the LlVth Congress gfll be elected at the same time the vote 18 taken upon the constitution, also that State officers and a legislature shall be ~chosen, and that if the constitution is Ww legislature shall immediately ‘meet and elect two United States Sena- ~_ Asthereis about a month from the time the election is held until the LlVth Congms meets, there will be ample time to ave all the formalities complied with and Utah proclaimed a State in time for its Senators and Representatives to participate in the organization of the next Congress. This would make in all ninety Senators, and, as the new Senate now stands, the politics of the Utah Senators would cut an important figure. Another probability which arises is the admission of both New Mexico and Arizona, which may be accowplished in time, so that four more Senators would participate in the organization of the next Senate. Bills have already passed the House for the admission of both these Territories. The Senate Committee on Territories has reported them favorably to the Senate and they are now on the calendar. Senators of both parties have been urging their passage, and it is more than likely that neither party would opKuse them, because of the effect it would ave upon the elections, as the people are anxious for their admission and would resent opposition by any party to that end. It is, therefore, quite likely that the battle for the control of the Nenate will yet be fought out in Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona next year. The admission of these new Siates would make a total of ninety-four Senators, and any party to control wonld need forty-eight for a majority. With the Vice President the Demoerats could control the Senate with forty-seven Senators, STATE LEGISLATURES.

The House, however, does not vote in the usual way in passing laws; the vote is taken by States, each State having only one vote. How that vote shall be cast is determined by each State’s delegation, the majority ruling. In case of a tie in the State delegation, then the vote of that State does not count. In the event of the next Presidential election being cast into the House the Republicans will have the choice of President, as will be seen by the following lists. Twenty States have elected Republican delegations: Colorado, New Hampshire, Connecticut, North Dakota, Delaware, Oregon, Idaho, Rhode Island, Indiana, South Dakota, Towa, Vermont, Maine, Washington, Michigan, West Virginia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, .

Cleveland Willing to Act as Arbitrator Between China and Japan. Tokio advices say that United States Minister Dun has communicated to the ministry the substance of an important cipher cable proposition received from Secretary Gresham at Washington. It suggests that if Japan will join China in requesting the President of the United States to act as a mediator in settling the war he will exercise his good offices in that capacity. A similar proposition has been sent to China. The cable was presented to a special meeting of the ministry. 'The proposition presents a grave question to the ministry. They are urged on one hand by the popular sentiment to continue the war and crush China; on the other hand European powers are threaten to intervene. As between thebemtiu influences the ministers find great difficulty in reaching a decision on the American proposition, but the prospect is that it will be accepted. It is learned that four days before France made a proposition to the United States to intervene. It is the belief in Washington that China wil readily accept the mediation of the United States, and Japan will da so after she is assured of the indemnity China will yield. China has already gone so far as to notify this government that it will join Japan in recognizing the complete independence of Corea, which would result in the Japanese evacuation of Corea and the re-estab-lishment of the former reigning powers. China has also made known to this Government that it was willing to pay a cash indemnity to Japan. It has not stated how much the indemnity will be, and this promises to be a serious problem. Japan does not intend to be robbed of the fruits of her victory by any indefinite arbitration Therefore she, in effect, asks: “What do you propose doing, and how much will you give? It you will offer enough, then we will accept the United States as the intermediary to execute the agreement. But we will not go into any blind arrangement by which a third party will determine the whole basis of peace.” Being a victor, Japan does not intend to go in on even terms with the vanquished. Mr. Gresham's cable inquiries to China therefore contemplate, first, China's acceptance of the United States as a mediator; second, a statement of China’s exact offer to Japan of the terms and amount of cash indemnity she will pay. As to the amount of cash it is not likely that Japan will accept the mediation unless $100,000,000 is offered. This will about represent what Japan has actually spent on the war. She does not ask for exemplary or punitive damages as the ,fig;\_g‘m is used in law, but merely _tl}g Iny. When rrante paic Germany an indemnity for the Franco-Prussian war it represented not only what Germany had spent, but exemplary or punishment damages as well. Japan does not expect this, but she will insist on actual damages. This is roughly figured as follows: Japan bhad a reserve fund of $25,000,000 on hand when the war began. | This has been spent. Then she nego- % tinted 2 war loan of 50,000,000 yen (a | ven being about equivalent to our dol- [ lar). This makes 875,000,000 actually } used in the war. Besides this Japanese | citizens have contributed large sums. | The total outlay, including obligations ing.w;z'rHL is estimated at about $100,000,- { 000. The extra session of the Japanese Diet resulted in a law authorizing a war i expemditure up to 3150.000,000, but this ! { limit has not been reached. % YERKES' BIG MANSION. | Chicago Street-Car Magnate’s New York House Nearly Completed. l The residence which C.
