and, to my amaxement, dealt the pros
trate man a hearty kk-k, (bidding him at
tha same time to rise. '&e.t up, fool!
Get up," he continued, harshly, yet with
. ring of triumph in his voice, "all you
fears got Is the colic, and it is no more
" than you deserve.. Get up, I say, and

."But," the King remonstrated In a
tone af anger, "the man Is dying!"
"He Is no more dying thirj you are,
tin" the other answered. "Or, If he Is,
Jt Is of fright. There, he can stand as
well as you or I!"
And to be sure, as he spoke, 1a Trape
' scrambled 'to his feet, and with a mien
between shame and doubt stood staring
at us, the very picture of a simpleton.
It was no wonder that his jaw fell and
fela Impudent face 'burned; for the room
shook with such a roar or laughter, at
first low, and then as the King joined
In It, swelling louder and louder, as few
of us bad aver heard. Though I waa
not a little mortified by the way In
i Which wa had deceived ourselves, I
could not help Joining In the laugh; par
ticularly as the more closely we re
viewed the scene In which we had
taken part, the more absurd seemed the
Jest. It was long before silence could

exhausted by the violence of his mirth,
s)sM up hit band. I seized the oppor
tunity. '
fWhy, you rascal!" I said, addressing
las Traps, who did not know which way
to look, "where, are the ten crowns of
Which you defrauded the scullion-?'
"To bs sure," the King said, going off
Into another roar. . "And the, third

I took this aa a hint to clear the room,
not only of La Trape himself tut of all;

Borg Ian popes. It needed no more than
this to direct my suspicions to the Flor
entines who swarmed about the Queen,
ar.d against whom the King had let
drop so many threats. But the tndlSf
position which excitement had for a
time kept at bay began to return upon
me; and I was .presently' glad to drop
the subject and retire to my own apart
ments, leaving the King to dress.
Consequently, I was not with him
when the s: range discovery which fol
lowed was made. Im the ordinary
course of dressing, one of the servants
gc&ng to the fire-place to throw away a
piece of as:e linen, thought that he
heard a rat stir among the 'boughs.
He moved them, and In a minute a
small :ia!e crawled out, hissing and
darting out Its tongue. It was killed,
and then it at once oecured to the
Kins that ht had the sewet of the cat's
death, lie came to me hot-foot with
the now, and foiiivd me with Iu Lau
re.'!9. who vj in the act of ordering me
to bed.
I confess that I heard the story almost
with apa'hy. 'ill was 1. Not so the
h aU-lan. After examining the snake
which by the King's orders had been
brought for my Insocetlon, he pro
minted that It was not of French origin.
"It has rr?aped from some snake
channer." he ald.
The Ki: g setmed to be Incredulous.
"1 asuri you that I speak th truth,
sire." Du Laurens persisted.
"But how then did it come in my
room?"
"TUat is what I should like to know,
slrt." the physician anfwered. severely;
"and yet I think that I can guess. It
wa? put there. I fatK-y, by the person
whj i'etv: up thejnllk to your chamber."
"Why do you say so?" Henry asked.
"Pecause. sire, all snakes are Inordi
nately fond of milk."
"Ah!" the Kins said, slowly, with a
chsnge of countenance and a shudder
which he could not repress; "and there
was milk on the floor in the morning."
"Yes. sire; on the floor, and beside the
head of your bed."
Eut at this stage I was attacked by a
fit of Illness so severe that I had to
break in on the discussion, and beg ttie
King to withdraw. The sickness In
creased on me during the day, and by
noon I was prostrate, neither taking In
terest In anythir.g, nor allowing others,
who began to fear for my life, to divert
their attention. After twenty-four
hours I 'began to mend, but still several
days elapsed before I was able to de
vote myself to 'business; and then I
found that, the master-mind being ab
sent, and the King, as always, luke
warm in the pursuit, nothl.r.g had been
done to detect and punish the criminal.
I fould not rest easy, however, with
to abominable a suspicion attaching to
my house; and as soon as I could bend
my mind to the matter I Ibegan an. in
quiry. At the first stage, however, I
came to a-n impasse; the butler, who
had been long In my service, cleared
himself without difficulty, but a few
questions discovered the fact that a
person who had been in his dspartment
on the evening in quertlon was now to
seek, "having Indeed disappeared from
that time. This was the gipsy-girl,
whom La "Trape had mentioned, and
wihose presence In tny household seemed
to need the more elucidation the farther
I pushed the inquiry. In the end I had
the butler punished, but though my
agents sought the girl through Paris,
ir.'d even traced tier to Meaux, she was
never discovered.
The affair, at the Klrg's Instance, was
not madepubllc; nevertheless. It gave
him so strong a distaste for the Arsenal
that he did not again visit me, tior use
the rooms I had prepared. That later,
when the first impression wore off, he
would have done so, Is probable; but,
alas, within a few montihs the malice of
lis Cams to Ms Hot-Foot With lb. yam:
his enemies prevailed over my utmost
precautions, and rubbed me of the best
of masters; strangely enough, as all the
world now knows, at the corner of that
very Rue de la Feronnerle which he had
seen in his dream.

The average man, particularly If he be'a
newspaper man, is disposed to speak flip
pantly of the new woman, and make weak
Jokes about hair-pins, chewing gum, gossip
and bloomers. No doubt woman has her
vices, and there may be some slight basis
for the frivolous allusions to her habits,
but a fair, comparison of . her vices with
those of a man cannot do otherwise than
put the man to shame. The corner loafers
who talk poktics and blacken the charac
ter of their neighbors need more attention
than Woes the sewing society. Chewing
gum. Is a Virtue compared with chewing
tobacco or even smoking it.
Woman today, as she has ever been, is
the mainspring of every movement for
the amelioration of the rare. That she
should grow restive under the restraints
that have been imposed upon her Is but
natural, and the surprising thing la that
she has endured them so long. We have

Correspondence of the Evening Post.
London, July 17. dt would be ai easy
matter to till a page of the Evening
Post In explaining the numerous rea
sons for the unprecedented Tory suc
cesses which have attended the elec
tions in the large English towns.
There Is no denying the lUot that the
Liberals were demoralized and unpre
pared for a general election. For
eighteen months they thad known It was
coming, and might be on them any day.
But they were all at sixes and sevens
In the bouse of commons; their great
leader was gone; their ntw leader had
no enthusiasm for the two causes to
which the Literal party is at present
committed; their Irish allies Were
broken Into factions, and were quar
relling bitterly one with another; the
Liberal electioneering funds were un
usually, low: the party was menaced
by the Socialistic labor movement, the
strength of which It .was almost Impos
sible to gauge: ar.d In Bcores of consti
tuencies in which the Liberals had al
ways hitherto a fighting chance they
were without candidates up to the very
eve of the dissolution of Parliament.
Never since there was a Liberal party
In England has It gone into a general
election In worse heart than It went
Into the reoent contest. One has to go
back more than a hundred years, to the
early days of the agitation for the
first reform bill, and the overshadow
ing of (Liberalism In England by the
French .Revolution, to find a parallel to
the conditions prevailing in the Liberal
party at the present time. There has
been nothing like them during the pres
ent century. The Liberals went Into
the election In a condition of hopeless
ness. In the first three day after the
sending out of the writs more than 100
Tories were chosen without arty kind of
opposition.! Tne hopelessness and de
moralization of the Liberals increased
as the borough elections proceeded, and
one after another of their leaders met
with disaster in' the large towns.
The most obvious cause for many of
these defeats has been the action of the
Indfpendent Labor party. So far these
Socialists have not elected a single can
didate. Kelr Hardle, who was In the
last house of commons, has beem. de
feated by the Tories at West Ham. and
Is not likely to obtain a seat elsewhere.
In fact, hardly one of their candidates
had a chance of election. The leaders
of the Independent? movement were well
aware of this; but from the time It was
organized In 1832 and all through this
election the potlcy of the Labor party
has been, as th leiders phrase it, to
smash the Liberal party and to carry
over some portion of the working class
elaborate Into the Socialist .party. In
this they have undoubtedly succeeded.
They nominated Uwenty-nine or thirty
candidates In England and Scotland;
and In every case it was a Liberal seat
or a chance for a Liberal candidate
which was jeopardized by the action of
the Socialists. The movement has been
shown to be much more widely extended
than was bellevad before the polling
began, and- Its adverse effect upon the
fortunes of the Liberal party Is not to
be estimated only by the number of can
didates who were put up in opposi
tion to the Liberals.
Where the Socialistic Labor men were
unable to nominate a candidate, It was
their policy to abstain from voting, and
the returns In the borough elections
show that where there were no candi
dates this policy of abstention was gen
erally followed. Sir Wllltom Harcourt
owes the loss of his seat at Derby to the
local veto bill and the intense, and ac
tive hostility of the liquor interest, but
his defeat was in some measure due to
the absence from the polls of working-class
voters who hitherto had
thrown In their lot with the Liberal
party. In other laTge towns the Liberals
also suffered from this new method of
fighting, parliamentary elections; while
In Manchester, In Newcastle, Halifax,
Rochdale, and other places tthe loss of
Liberal seats is obviously entirely due
to the presence of the third-party can
didates. As a result of their presence
in Bradford, that borough, hitherto the
stronghold of okl-fashiened Radicalism,
and returning three members to the
house 'of commons, Is now without a
single Liberal member; and at Roch
dale, for only the third, or fourth ttone
since 1832, the Tories are nowr In pos
session of the seat. In Scotland the
Labor .men have pursued the same tac
tics and with somewhat similar results
to the Liberal party.
This new movement and Its wide de
velopment have caused the greatest
consternation, among Liberals, who now
fear than It will tell as adversely
against them Ira the elections in the
county division's, In the Industrial dis
tricts, as It has done In the 'boroughs.
They are at a loss to know how the So
cialists raised "the money for the cam
paign. The 'Socialists certainly know
how to conduct an electoral fight with
the least possible expenditure. They
spend nothing; on newspaper advertis
ing, next to nothing oh printing, noth
ing for the hire of halls for public
meetings, and they have no paid agents.
Still, notwithstanding these economies,
1200 or 2r.O is necessary to pay the re
turning officers, charges in the large
boroughs, and die Liberals are greatly
exercised as to how all this money has
been raised. If the Socialists can find
money In this way to fight thirty elec
tions, and If they abstain from voting
In all the constltuenc'es In which they
cannot, put up candidates, as matters
now stand, there Is hardly any limit td
the mischief they can. work on the Lib
eral party.

Companyrputs up . . . .-, ,
Acure for every dissasa
clea the liquor Interest has found the
money to finance 'the Socialist candi
date. And there is adequate ground
for believing there la some truth in
these statements.' The brewing; and
distilling trades have always been on
the side of the Tories. Here and there
Is a brewer who Is a Liberal. McEwan
of Edinburgh Is a Liberal; so is Whit
bread of Bedford. Both were In-the
last house of commons. iBut the over
whelming mass of brewers and publi
cans and of .the shareholders In English
brewing and dlstllllns; companies are
Tories. Their Interests were assailed,
but never put In any actual danger, by
Sir William Harcourt's veto bill.
The Mil was not taken to seond read
ing. Had tt got that far In the house
of commons It would have been defeat
ed by the votes of the Nationalists, and
of a number of English Liberals who
made no secret of their opposition to
the measure. The bill, however, dis
turbed the liquor trade quite as much aa
though It were a measure which bad
some chance of becoming law; and at
this election the trade-.has risen as a
body to defeat the party which was res
ponsible for the introduction of the bill
Into the house of commons. The measure
has iwen decried by the brewers as one
which would depreciate thei value of
every brewery Bhnre In the kingdom;
and the share and debenture holders
in the many great brewing companies
wore besought by the political leaders
of the trade to use their vutea uml
tholr Influence to help to return mem
lera to the house of commons plcdstvd to
oppose 'such iniquitous and disastrous
legislation."
Enormous sums have been rained in
the trade for use in the campaign, and
it Is not at all unlikely that many of
thjye three-cornered contests, which
for the present have ruined thi Liberal
parly In -the English boroughs, were
financed from the war-chest of the
brewers and the publicans. Some In
terested people must have put their
hands Into their pockets pretty deeply
to fill up the exchequer of the Social
ists. If the money, or any lurge vart of
tt, has come from the liquor trade, from
the point of view of the trade it has
been. well and discreetly Invested. The
corrupt-practices acts, drastic and far
reaching as they undoubtedly are, do
not, of course, apply to money expended
In this way; and after this election no
government. Liberal or Tory, will enter
upon any scheme of licensing reform
which does not embrace some method
for compensating the owners and occu
piers of public houses which may be
closed by the working of the scheme.
Tories as well as Liberals admit thn.t
the licensing laws are In a most unsat
isfactory condition and one In which
they cannot long remain. There has
been no reform In the laws since the
early sixties. There Is, however, a wide
difference between the two political
parties as to the principle on which the
reform has to be carried out. The Tor
ies ever since lr. Ooschen's proposals
In connection with the local govern
ment act of 1888 have contended for
compensation for the owners of public
houses dispossessed of their licenses in
order that public houses might be re
duced. If the Radicals, headed by Sir
Wilfrid Lawson, had not so strenuously
opposed this proposal in 1888, and forced
the Salisbury government to abandon
it, there Is no doubt a scheme of licens
ing reform would have been carried
when local government in the counties
was overhauled by the 1886-92 Unionist
administration. ...
Generally speaking', the liquor trade
Is not hostile to any reform. It does
not contend that matters should be left
as they are, but It has always Insisted
that some compensation scheme must
accompany any reform, and this Is the
principle the trade has fought and In
trigued for at this election. It Is not at
all likely that the liquor Interest has
exacted any pledges from the Socialists.
They would not expect to see any of
them elected. All they have wanted
from the Socialists was their help at
this election In defeating Liberal candi
dates. If there really has been a bar
gain between the trade and the Social
ists it has been well kept, for In one
way or another up to to-day, and before
the contests In the counties have begun,
It Is possible to count more than a score
of English boroughs formerly Liberal
In which the Liberals owe their defeats
to the activity and manoeuvring of the
Independent Labor party.
Next to the hostility of the Socialists
and the brewing Interest In the causes
accounting for the extraordinary rout
of the Liberals in the English boroughs
Is the active hostility of the Church of
England. The bill for the disestablish
ment of the Welsh church which was
before the house of commons In the two
last sessions of the late parliament was
always regarded aa an attack on the
church of England as a whole: and
throughout the country, especially in
the county constituencies, the Influence
of the clergy has been thrown against
the Liberal candidates. At any elec
tion th to clerical Influence Is a far
reaching one, and the working of It is
not always easy to race. At thla elec
tion It has been exerted with unusual
energy, and has been a most difficult
Influence for the Liberals to combat.
Almost every clergyman has been more
or less an active agent for the Tory
candidates; and with the speakers and
canvassers of the Primrose league, who
In their own peculiar end sometimes
underhand ways always do such effec
tive work for the Tories In the rural
districts, the Established church and
Its defence from Radical attack has
been put in the fore front of the Tory
programme.
The vast influence of the railway In
terest and of the industrial Interests
generally was also In opposition to the
Liberals. The new factory act and the
other stringent measures In the Inter
ests of labor have antagonized the cap
italists. It was, however, the bill to
amend the employers' liability acts car
ried through the house of commons In
1893 whlrfi most aroused .the Brut agon
Ism of the railway, the shipping, and
the coal and Iron companies. If that
amending measure had been carried as
drafted and as sanotloned by the Glad
stone cabinet, hundreds of accident-Insurance
and sick funds maintained In
connection with railways and othj:ir
large industrial undertakings would
have been wrecked. They could not
have been continued under the pro
posed new law. These insurance ar
rangements adequately meet the needs
of both the railway companies and the
railway workpeople, and the persistent
endeavor of the lata government wan
tonly to break them down at the dicta
tion of the trade-union leaders In and
out of the house of commons has been
resented with much vigor and bitter
ness by all ranks of the railway service.
The railway vote has gone largely
against Liberal candidates In gre.it nil
way centers . In the provinces ruch ar
Derby, Manchester and Bradford, and
in Batter sea, Islington and West Hum,
In the metropolitan electoral divisions.
I waa traveling- on the London and
Northwestern railway on ths night of
Sir William Harcourt's defeat at Derby,
. '..: r. -, .
and at Lime Street station. Liverpool,
when the news came over tha wires
that the late Chancellor of the Ex
chequer had been thrown out. I wit
nessed something like a demonstration
on the part of the railway guards and
porters then on duty. "All we want
now." said one of them who had car
ried the news from the telegraph of
fice. "Is that Asqulth should be thrown
out, too." 'Mr. Asqulth. the late home
secretary, was the author of the bill,
and Is regarded as being responsible for
the withdrawal of the measure when
the house of lords inserted the clauses
for the continuance of the various In
dustrial Insurance funds. One seldom
sees any Indication of political feeling
among English railway aervana when
on duty. Like jtollcemen, English rail
way servants are usually expected to
keep their political feelings to them
selves. But at this election all ranks
of the service, from directors down to
porters and carriage cleaners, seem to
have made common cauBe against the
author and upholders of the clauses
In the abandoned employers' liability
bill which would have prevented a
workman who had the misfortune to
be injured from seeding or obtaining
any compensation other than the one
to be held by an appeal to the law
courts.
English workmen greatly value secur
ity of tenure. In the English railway
service a man Is usually sure of such
tenure If he la loyal to work; and he
Is also equally sure of fair and gen
erally adequate compensation from the
Insurance funds in case of li Jury. Had
the labor group In the house of com
mons had their way with the employers'
li ability law, both these securities might
have vanished In the case of a man
who met with an accident, for no man
could hope for reinstatement In toils
position after he had ftx-overed from
bis accident If he had been compelled to
sue the company which employed him.
The members of the late government In
their wpeeches and election addresses
have made much of the act carried
through parliament In 18!),1 by Mr. Mun-
della when he was president of the
board of trade, regulating and restrict
ing overtime in the railway service.
With many of the railway men Mr.
Mundella's act Is regarded aa a use
ful measure, but any credit which may
have accrued to the Liberal government
from It has been more than counter
balanced by the extreme irritation the
government caused throughout the rail
way service by the gratuitous attack
they made on the insurance funds.
i
la Lancashire, where the Ijlberuls
have suffered some of their most signal
defeats, the cotton, manufacturing In
terest was against them In consequence
of the Imposition of Import duties on
Lancashire goods shipped to India.
India Is perhaps the largest market In
the east for Lancashire cotton, cloths.
Six months ago there was a revolt
among a section of the Lancashire
members when, owing to the depleted
state of the Indian treasury, Mr. Fow
ler, the secretary of state for India,
was forced to sanction the relmposl
tlon of litvport duties. At that time
these Lancashire Liberal members
made common cause with Sir Henry
James, also a Lancashire member and
one of the Unionist leaders, and organ
ized a demonstration In the house
agaiinst the Rosebery administration.
The house of commons, however, In a
division on non-party lines, fully sus
tained the action of the secretary for
Ii.Jia.and at once the campaign against
the duties was transferred from West
minster to. the Lancashire cotton
towna.
Practically the India department had
no course open to It but to Impose the
duties. They were Intended entirely for
revenue purposes. There was no Idea
of affording protection to the native
made cotton cloths, but the Lancashire
cotton people, workingmen as well as
employers, refused to see the matter In
this light. They insisted that the du
ties were an attack upon a Lancashire
Industry which Is already suffering from
keen competition with the United States
and with China and Japan; and when
the Liberal members of the house of
commons from Lancashire, who had
had the courage and straightforward
ness to support the government in the
hostile division taken at the instance
of Sir Henry James, sought re-election
thfts week, they found hundreds of their
consititutents Im fierce opposition to
them and determined to wreak .their
vengeance upon the Koscbery adminis
tration. Both Tories and Liberals sup
ported the government In the division
on Sir Henry James' vote of censure on
the India department, and In the house
of common the government escaped
unCiurt. At the elections, however, the
Tories did not hesitate to reap all the
advantage possible from the Irritation
the Lancashire people were feeling
towards the members of the Rosebery
administration.
In the same way and with no better
ground to sUnd upon, the Tories and
the Unionists attributed the extreme
commercial depression of 1893-94 to the
Gladstone and Ros'e'bery administra
tions. No really responlsbie speaker
declared that the late administrations
were In any way responsible for the de
pression, but the responsibility for it
was by insinuation thrown upon the
tote Liberal government by hundreds
of thousands of placards and pictorial
posters published with the Imprint of
I'he campaign literature department of
the Tory and Unionist headquarter or
ganizations In London.

TO our patrons:
Wushbura-Croftby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rona that they will thin year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
Is fully cured. New wheat Is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it fs already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will Uke
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling hns
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
