In the year of lS3u! the historic farm
in.ee mentioned was owned and occu-
Dled by a wealthy gentleman farmer
named Henry Gwynne Jones, a man. 01
much force of character, and, in many
respects of noble nature. He was proud

.i,n iidilreHsed bv the Karl of
: 'awdor. as "Kwpilre Jones, of Paradise
Hall." The Squire was married and
was the proud father of four beautiful
children, Caractacus, Sylvia, Hronwen
and Harry tiwynne. Mrs. Jones, an es
timable lady, was very proud of the
Keneaioelcal tree from which she

wont to remind her Inferiors of her lofty
lineaRe. A generous woman, she Rave

lictness than many other ladles of the
beautiful Vale of Tony in tnnse uu.
She was an excellent disciplinarian,
gentle in her manner toward, her child
ren, and not only strictly moral but
deeply religion in her teachings. This
poitld be noted in the children of Para
dise Hull at an early age. They were
refined, amiable und courteous: but It
wus instilled into them early in life that
they were far above the commonalty,
that they came of a superior stock, and
they were frequently admonished that
association with those of Inferior wiolul
standing would not be tolerated. Such
were the conditions of caste in little
(Iwulia fifty years ago.
On the northerly side of the macadam
ized highway lending from tlrongar
H1U to the beautiful town of Carmar
then, and at the foot of the spacious
and well cultivated grounds of Paradise
Hull stood an old fashioned hostelry.
The sign that hung over the low narrow
door Informed the traveler that Its
name was the "Koyal Prince," that Its
proprietor was Jenkln Lloyd Thomas,
and that the law of the land licensed
him to sell malt and spirituous liquors.
There were no railroads winding their
course through the beautiful valley In
those dnys, and all the travelling was
done either by coach or on foot, so that
the "Itoyal Prince" sheltered many a
foot sore traveler, notwithstanding the
fact that it contained only five rooms,
which, however, were spacious. The
iiome brewed ale or the "Itoyal Prince"
was known the country over for Its de
licious nnd Invigorating qualities. Knrls
and Lords, Judges and barristers, high
fcherifrs and esquires, and bishops and
clergymen had frequently partaken of
tho good old-fushloned home-made
lread and cheese, nnd home-brewed nle
V.of the "Koyal Prince," under the roof
of which excellent hostelry Intoxica
tion was unknown, and never In its his
tory had anybody indulged his appetite
.to excess In this direction. .Nor was
Jenkln Lloyd Thomas a man wh would
tolerate such a thing under the sacred
roof of thH "Itoyal Prince." Ho was
a typical Welshman of fifty years ago,
a magnificent specimen of rugged man-
luiod and hard .common sense. He wus
honest, simple In habits, stern in his
political beliefs, true to his friends, nnd
Imd an abiding faith in the gospel as epi
tomized on the Mount. All the books
he ever road, and read them often.
were the Great Hook, J'.unyun's Pi!
prim's Prognss and the sweet hymns of
, Wales's great hymnologist, together
'with the grand old fashioned poetry
of the immortal Vicar Prichard a
.rirher library of treasures than which
no divine of modern times ever pos-
-eessed.
No meals were ever eaten at the
"Itoyal Prince" but were preceded by a
fervent prayer.
0 i However. Jenkln Lloyd Thomas spent
but very little of his time at the "Itoyal
Prince." He was overseer of the farm
laborers at Paradise Hall, and was in
lilgh favor both with Squire Jones and
liis estimable wife. Consequently Mrs
' Thomas hud full charge of the business
of the hostelry.
,. Gwiudys Thomas, the only child of
the proprietor of this roadside Inn, was
. now in her tenth year and was a very
handsome and intelligent little girl,
modest in manners and amiable In dis-
.. position. . She was always dressed very
neatly In material of better quality
than the children of the ordinary peo
ple of the district, and she was the idol
of her parents. Being also the pride of
the neighborhood, the doors of Para-
f dlse Hall were always open to pretty
Gwladys of the "Koyal Prince," who,
. In after years, became known as
"Gwladys, the beautiful Maid of Gron

the middle class not so wealthy, tinting
with Hqulre Jones, agreed to establish
and support a seminary of learning.
They adopted a constitution ami uy-
laws, and up'silnted a board of direc
tors to govern the affairs of the school.
Squire Jones wus elected chairman, and
the school was named -uroiiKur
Seminary." There were certain restric
tions in the by-laws by reuson of which
onlv the children of the middle class
could enjov the advantages of the sem
inary, except by a unanimous in
the bonrd or directors, or a permit from
the chairman.
This wus a severe Mow to the chil
dren or the working class or the dis
trict, and none felt It more than the
parents of pretty little Gwladys
Thonins. .
In due time the school was opened,
and a young curate of the Kstablished

master at a salary of fifty pounds

linn tl imniiHlv airreed that Harry
Gwynne should beg his mother to have
papa intercede wun ine nouru m uue,--tors
in Gwladys' behalf, or give her a
permit himself, as lie wus iuny uuwiui
It was after 10 o'clock that beautiful
oi.iinir mm nlnir before Mrs. Jones ap
peared at the breakfast table, and she
did not seem to be in tne oesi in innnoi.
l.ltlo llarrv Gwynne was on nan
with bis bovlsh speech well prepared.
"Cimil morning, mamma, deur. You
dnn't know how beautifully the littl
lark and the little goldllnch and the big
pretty blackbird were singing in the
meadows this morning when I got
awake. Tlease. darling mnninia, won
vou nlease ask papa to let little
Gwlndvs Thomas come to the new-
school with your truly little Harry
Gwvnne? Please do say yes, mamma
dear. It will be so nice. Won't you
mamma?"
The Imploring tone of the sweet
voiced child, coupled with the gentle
favor In which he wns held, touched
the mother nature of the woninn, soft
ened her views of surrounding dlscom
fort, placed her In harmony with the
amenities of life and the dignity of
motherhood, and out of her swelling
heart came a generous assurance of
her kindly offices according to the
child's request.
"Yes, my darling boy, I will speak to
papa, and try to have him grant your
request- Tour heart Is set in the right
direction, and your promptings fill me
with nope ror tne future."
How the child's face beampd with (le
light at his mother's response, and with
what alacrity he bounded away to an
nounce the glad news to the other chll
dren.
O, mothers of Gwalia and America
what happiness do you not miss in the
training of your children!
The breakfast is cooling, 'but Mrs.
Jones does not eat; she Is doing what
so many mothers too often have to do,
thinking how she can reach papa with
their son's petition. It Is a sad fact,
but it is none the less a fact, that the
male member of the marital firm must
so frequently, be approached with fear
and trembling,
Squire Jonea, entering the breakfast
room, noticed the troubled look and
exclaims:
How now, my wifeT Whuts on,
your mind?"
"Harry Gwynne ann uwiauys
Thomas." responds Mrs. Jones abrupt-
v. "And. squire, my heart s desire, lor
the sake of Harrv Gwynne and our
other children, into whose affection she
has won her way. is that you grant
Gwladys permission to attend the new
school.
'lmuosslble!" cried the astonished
quire: "Impossible! Why, If I should
do this for Gwladys Thomas, every
hud of our Inferiors would expect the
same privilege. Impossible! 1 cannot
do It; I will not do it."
Hut. my desr Squire Jones, you must
do It for little Harry Gwynne's sske.
He loves that child, and he s bound that
she shall accompany him to the new
school." -
'Humph! If he loves her now. how
much more will he love her when she
Is three or four years older? Heware,
Mrs. Jones, of the danger you are play
ing with! Heware in time, lest you re
pent at leisure."
"There Is no danger of that. As
Gwladys grows older she will learn of
her inferior station In life compared
with that of little Hurry Gwynne. Itest
assured. everything will end well In this
particular.
Very well. Mrs. Jones, I surrender;
but In the future, remember that this
is your own doing," was the gruff re
sponse. After this conversation their break
fast was finished in silence, following
which the 'Squire wrote the permit,
and a prouder party of little children
never traveled over the walks through
the beautiful meadows of Paradise hall
than did his own dear children and
little Gwiudys Thomas upon this occa
sion. HI.
For five years these children walked
over the same ground, during the last
wo of which, Harry Gwynne, who wus
now a stalwart lad of seventeen sum
mers, erect of figure, of fair complexion
and handsome in every feature, and
Iwladys Thomas, a beautiful girl or
sixteen, blooming Into maidenhood,
with a countenance at once exceedingly
beautiful und winsome, had walked to
and fro alone. '
Love hud been playing her part!
Harry Gwynne was now sent to a
higher grade school in the ancient town
f Carmarthen. Before leaving he
called ut the "Koyal Prince," and
stayed with Gwladys a long time alone;
so that only they knew what words
were spoken, and whut each felt, as for
the first time he pressed her gently
to his bosom and kissed her.
He had not been to school at Car
marthen three days before he wrote a
loving missive to handsome Gwladys
Thomas. The letter was short, but
full of loving expressions, and ended
thus:
"Gwlndys, dear. I am yours forever
and forever. Will you be mine;
Gwladys realized that there was a
distance almost immeasurable between
their stations In life. Harry was the
favorite son of the 'Squire of Paradise
Hall, c4ie of the wealthiest gentlemen
farmers In the Vale of Towy. She
was the daughter of a poor roadside
innkeeper. Should she answer the let
ter? Was she In love? She did not
know, though the slightest mention of
Harry's name thrilled her heart and
quickened her every pulse; she knew'
that. Yes, she would answer the let
ter, but she would be very careful. So
she wrote a letter, couched In the
choicest phrases, for Gwladys was an
excellent scholar, and a girl of remark
able mental powers, and her progress
at the semlnury had been wonderful
but she gave no direct answer to his
pointed question, and other letters fol
lowed, each of Harry's redolent of his
determination as expressed In her em
phatic declaration.
"You must be mine, dear Qwladys
The correspondence was kept up
steadily while Harry was at school,
but Gwladys In none of her beautiful
letters showed any signs or deep love
ror Harry. Her knowledge since Har
ry saw her last had Increased rapidly.
She was an omnjverous reader and had
become pertectly familiar with the
writings of Dickens, Elliot. Scott, Irv
ing, Lytton and other great flctionlsts
She was nlso well versed In current
literature und standard works, and in
addition, a rare conversationalist.
At length Harry graduated and re
turned to Paradise Hall to await his
father's decision as to what his future
course in life should be.
Being a leading director In one of the
large banks of Carmarthen, the 'Squire
concluded that Harry should become a
banker, and that he should commence
his banking career there at once.
During this period or waiting at
Paradise Hall his visits to the "Koyal
Prince" were rrequent, and the beauty
and wonderful Intelligence of Gwladys
completely chained him.
'Gwladys, you must be mine," he
would frequently exclaim, "i admired
you wheu a child, loved you when t
girl, and adore you now with all the ur
dor of a man that cannot live without
you. I will not return to Carmarthen
until you declare
"I am yours forever and forever!"
"Harry, I cannot. The distance be
tween our stations in life Is too great
By saying what you wish me to say, 1
would ruin your future forever. Con
sider matters In a calmer moment,
Your rather would disinherit you, and
why such sacrifice for a poor girl?

"Gwladys, darling, your love then Is

Gwladys, darling, you must be mine!"
Laiiy one morning following such a
repeated declaration a post chaise was
seen traveling rapidly over the high
way, and Its only occupants were Harry
Gwynne Jones and Gwladys Thomas.
the malr maid of Grougar Hill, who, on
their arrival at Carmarthen, were soon
made man and wife.
Harry at once entered the bank as a
clerk at a ralr salary, which was in
creased after he had been there only a
few months, during which time he vis
ited Gwladys only once a week, their
marriage being as yet a perfect secret
Hlx months had elapsed and the mar
riage was still their own secret: but
although no sin had been committed
and no commandment broken, prud
ence demanded that the secret should
be divulged.
Harry visited Paradise hall, and both
his father and mother being at home,
he was greeted pleasantly by them.
Young, strong, confident and frank na
turally, he disclosed the matter In a
most straightforward manner. The
scene that followed was pitiful. His
irtother was completely prostrated, un
able to move or to speak, while his
father paced the floor, and In a burn
ing rage, vowed vengence on his manly
son's head. He declared he would dis
inherit him then and there, and have
him discharged from the bank on the
morrow, and still be unsutlslled. for
even his shudow in the country would
disgrace his noble ancestry. He must
go to some foreign land, and on the
morrow he should receive his last
bounty from his father In this lire.
Harry, sad at heart, returned to his
wife and gently told her the sorrowful
news. Both were completely over
whelmed.
At length, Gwladys recovering, said:
"Harry, darling, you must go to Amer
lea, which is said to be the land of the
free and the home of the brave, where
caste and classes are not known. Go.
and I will follow you."
Having thus determined, Harry called
to see his rather, who spoke not a word,
nor answered a question until after he
had counted out a hundred Knglish
sovereigns, when handing them to
Harry, he fairly thundered at his un
happy son. "Go, now, to some foreign
country, and change your name from
that of your honorable ancestors.
Thus Harry left Paradise Hall for
ever and returned to the "Itoyal
Prince." Here again he had the un
pleasant duty of disclosing the secret
Great was the contraat here, how aver,
for the grandly simple old couple grac
iously blessed them, and offered Harry
the same lights as his young wire un
der the thatched roof ot the old has
telry.
Gently but firmly resisting all their
importunities. In three days Henry
Gwynne Jones was a passenger on
sailing vessel bound for America, and
In three months from the date or his
departure from England he arrived at
New York after on unusually stormy
passagp, and upon that self same day
a dear little girl was born et the "Royal
Prince," and the soul of Gwladys
Gwynne Jones, the sweet maid of
Grougar 11111, took flight to the better
world.
IV.
Unadvised of these two Important
facts, Hurry roamed from city to city
In a fruitless search for suitable em
ployment month after month until his
funds were exhausted, and the eleventh
of April, 1861, dawned, on which was re
vealed the real Intention of the south
ern people In their assault upon J ort
Sumter. The north urose in its might
with grand unanimity. President Lin
coln Issued a call for seventy-live thou
sand men to uphold the authority or the
government. The response to this call
was much more general than the most
sanguine had reason to expect. The en
thusiasm of the people was literally
unbounded, and Harry Gwynne Jones,
late of Paradise Hall, was one of the
first to answer to this cull. He entllsted
ns a private, and long before the war
ended he was colonel of a cavalry col
umn. He also distinguished himself as
a war correspondent for the leading
dally newspaper of Cincinnati, Ohio,
of which he afterwards became sole
proprietor,
During the war he received a letter
announcing the death of his handsome
young wife, but he wns not advised of
the cause, nor that a dear little daugh
ter was born unto them, and so he lost
all Interest in his native land across
the seal and finally became one of
Ohio's leading statesmen and an orator
of national reputation, while the child
that was born at the "Itoyal Prince"
was tenderly taken care of by its noble
old grandmother.
During this time, as might be expect
ed. Paradise Hall had undergone many
important changes. The squire and his
wife had grown old and feeble und their
children were dead. The old squire re
gretted the day he hod so cruelly treat
ed his favorite son, and he continually
sorrowed ror the result or his unrea
sonable anger. He made all earthly
reparation he could, even calling to his
palatial home the orphan daughter of
Henry Gwynne Jones and his hand
some young wife, the fulr maid of
Grongar Hill, and at his expense she
received the best education Knglund
and France could give her. She grew
up to be a young lady or rare literary
ability.
Time passed, nnd the squire and his
wire died, leaving her the sole heiress
of Paradise Hall. Pond of traveling,
she rented her palatial home soon after
the death of her grandparents, and
steamed to America, where she traveled
at leisure through the United States,
and thus she learned that there were
n large number ot the children of Gwa
lia at Cincinnati. So site visited that
large ami prosperous city, and found
comfortable quurters at one of Its best
hotels.
At dusk one Saturday evening, while
returning from a long stroll In the city's
suburbs, she was followed by a rufllan,
and within a short distance of her hotel,
she was knocked down by him with the
evident intention of robbing her. For
tunately, however, before losing con
sciousness, she was able to utter one
scream, loud enough to bring to her
rescue a number of brave men, where
upon the ruffian released her and made
good' his escape. Among the rescuers
was u middle-aged, athletic-looking
gentlemun, who quickly, yet gently,
took her In his arms, carried her Into
his own residence close by, and at once
summoned a physician.
on regaining consciousness she was
surprised to find herself In a luxuriously
appointed chamber, and a sweet-faced
Welsh lady gently arranging the hand
age on her bruised and aching head. .
In a short time she was convalescent,
and one day. after lunch, her host,
whose kindly face she Instinctively
loved and trusted at first sight, said to
her;
"I have learned, at your hotel that
your home Is in Wales, and I am long
ing to ask you if It is North or Houth."
"South Wales, sir," said she.
"I am a native or South Wales my
self," said he. "What county In South
Wales is yours, please?" he asked fur
ther. "Carmarthenshire, sir."
"We're getting nearer and nearer all
the time!" he exclaimed. "What town,
pray?"
"I am from the nelghborhod of Gron
gar Hill, sir."
"What! 1 am from Grongar Hill, too!
Whose daughter are you?"
"My father came to this country and
landed In New York on the very day I
was born, and I have never seen him,
except in my dreams, and then he ap
peared just such a man as you must

name, like my own, wa Gwladys, and
my father was Henry Gwynne Jones, of
Paradise Hall," she answered.
"Gracious Heaven!" he cried, .as he
caught the beautiful girl in his arms,
"I am Henry Gwynne Jones, of Para

, Great was tha- rtjoioinf throufhout
Cincinnati, and many and hearty were
the congratulations showered upon tha
soldlar-journallst and statesman when
the full force of the revelation was ap
preciated all around, and the beautiful
daughter ot Henry Gwynne Jones, the
image of his lost Gwladys Thomas, the
sweet maid of Groncar Hill, took her
place In his heart of ftearts, where never
woman had reigned but his Gwladys.
His happy daughter was the mistress
of his luxurious home for many years,
ana happiness reigned supreme.

During the first year of Democratic
administration our mills used less stock

they made were worth less by tM.oOO.
Oou. Within a ytar we retrogressed
nearly five years. And how much worse
it grew during the second year of Dem
ocratic rule. In 1894 our mills and fac
tories used luri.OUO.UOO less of material
than lSsH). and the goods made were
worth HOS.OUU.OOO less. This tells the
story of the Injury to capital. The
value or the goods decreused by $44,00o.
000 more thun the value or the raw
material used. Whut u shrinkage In
prices this represents, und It tdiows
that factories were run ut a loss Just
for the sake of keeping things together,
or keeping our wage earners from
want.
There were 380 fewer factories op
erating In 1894 than In 1892. and the
value of their total Industrial products
decreased by $155,000,000. Nearly 100
less boot and shoe factories were oper
ated in 1894, ten less cotton mills, sixty
less leather industries, twenty-two less
machinery shops, twenty-one less met
al workers, six less paper mills, twenty
seven less woolen mills and 160 less
other establishments. The value of
the boots and shoes made In Massachu
setts was worth $26,000,000 less money
in 1894 than in 1892: the value of our
carpeting was worth almost $3,000,000
less; In cotton goods the shrinkage was
$17,000,000; In leather the loss was $6,
OoO.OOO of product value. Massachu
setts made machinery worth upward of
$5,000,000 less; the metal workera turned
out $8,000,000 less valuable work: the
paper product shrank $6,000,000 In
value; the woolen and worsted mills
suffered to the extent of $17,000,000 and
in all other industries the loss was
nearly $70,000,000 of money that would
have been received, distributed and
circulated in the state had business
conditions remained undisturbed dur-i
lng these two brief years.
