Old Love,
jkookkckiokkkm:mm
When nn English lady determines to
elope from her husband It may be
safely predicated that she- Is very In
experienced or very badly treated. Tho
case of Lady Laura Lyndhurst falls
under the first category, thus explain
ing, too, her entanglement with Cecil
Tcmploton, a gentleman who followed
tho equally glorious and lucrative pro
fession of officer In the army. His rea
sons for suddenly finding that ho could
exist no longer without the society of
another man's wlfo fortunately need
not bo given here; they wero nearly as
numerous as his debts, and, seeing that
foreign travel was an urgent necessity,
his astuteness in discovering a woman
foolish enough to bear tho Incidental
cost will recommend Itself to tho ap
proval If not to tho Imitation of the
prudent.
It was 10.30 o'clock. Lady Lyndhurst,
draped In a dark cloth mantle, was
nervously adjusting a traveling cap of
the same material as she stood alono
before her mirror. On a chair close
by lay the splendid dinner toilet which
she had Just made a irretense of remov
ing before dismissing her maid for tho
night.
She know that time did not press; In
deed, she was In advance of the hour
appointed by Templeton In his note,
but somehow everything seemed to go
wrong at the Inst moment; there were
unforeseen difficulties about her sim
plest acts, and her memory, admirably
under control on other occasions, had
begun to grow curiously restive as tho
minutes went by. Outside could bo
heard the cold, llercc patter of wintry
rain upon tho window panes, while
now and again a roaring gust of night
wind rattled them In their frames.
At length she had completed all pre
parations, and, leaving tho glass, sat
herself down to write to her husband
the letter she understood was Impera
tively demanded by tradition. She com
menced, "Dear Ralph" then paused,
effaced the words and began anew
lower down, but, shocked at her 111
breeding, flung the sheet away and
chose another. She got as far as tho
date which ho would hardly require
to be reminded of and paused again,
the tip of her quill to her lips, staring
at tho noble motto above the address.
What on earth should she write? Wo
men sho remembered, usually had a
good denl to say on such emergencies;
a sentimental barmaid, who tho weU
before had committed a sensational
suicide with the aid of oxalic acid, had
been very fluent, and the heroine of
a novel sho finished only that same
morning had displayed considerable
epistoliry powers when renouncing a
brutal husband, and here she sat with
out a word to throw at a dog, much
less a spouse; It was very puzzling. She
forgot that the dlffuseness of the form
er lady was owing to an uneducated
exercise of tho faculty of selection, a
defect pnlnfully noticeable In her
chemical essay, while the prolixities
of the latter were due, like England's
greatness, to n sound commercial pol
icy. Instead, she recollected most In
opportunely that this would be the sec
ond occasion on which sho wrote to
her husband during their eighteen
months of married life; the thought
did not make the words flow. To write
tho treachery she meditated was not
so easy after nil. Still she persevered
doggedly, jotting down a phrase here
and there, the stealthy hand of the lit
tle clock stealing over the painted dial,
the hearth fire dwindling below.
At last, weary of her task, she rose,
and throwing open the window nearest
looked out upon the night. "My God!
my God!" sho whispered, "must this be
irrevocable? What If I shall learn to
repent when repentance will be vain?"
The sleet drove pitilessly against her
brow, beating down the dainty curls
clustering there, but she did not heed.
So she remained, a pallid face ques
tioning the darkness which held no
answer. Slowly a belfry somewheio
away eastward chimed tho hour, the
very hour at which she should leave
that house forever!
Starting from her reverie she return
ed to the table, and taking up tho dis
carded pen, forced herself to write
anew until the missive was finished
and sealed. Then, pausing a moment
to glance round tho cosy room, she ex
tinguished tho light, stepped Into the
passage and locked the door, thrusting
the key underneath, a proceeding for
which sho could offer herself no ade
quate reason save that It looked pictur
esquely final.
Lord Lyndhurst's apartments lay on
the 'opposite wing of the mansion, and
It would take some time to traverse thft
corridors. Mechanically she turned to
the library as she passed and looked
BBBji mm. a

A despairing man who had applied to us, soon after wrote ; "Well, I tell you
that first clay ia one I'll never forget. I just bubbled with joy. I wanted to hug
everybody and tell them that my old self had died yesterday and my new self was
borntoday. Why didn'tyou tell mc whcnl first wrote that I would find it this way?"
And another wrote thus: "If you dumped a cartload of gold at my feet it would
not bring such gladness into my life as your method has done."

True Love
In; his lordship's valet was dozing be
side the fire; she thought of leaving
tho letter there, but the man's pres
ence deterred her. Retracing her steps,
she reached hr husband's room; It was
tenantlcss.as she e?.pected. Placing the
scaled envelope conspicuously upon his
dressing case, sho turned to leave the
place, but stopped short, chilled by a
sudden thought. "My pursol" Sho
had forgotten that adjunct Indispens
able to sinner or saint, and return for
It now was out of the question. Money
sho never lacked. A few words would
she knew, bring thousands from her
banker tomorrow, but at that precise
moment sho was poorer than the shiv
ering flower girls In tho square below
plodding home with their mcagro earn
ings. "How absurd!" she muttered. To go
thus was unthinkable a crime sho
might commit a betlso never! Sho
glanced at her watch. Time had taken
wings within the last quarter of an
hour. Whatever she would do must ba
done at once, but what to do7
She looked round desperately. Close
beside tho case stood a small Ivory
casket a pretty, curiously worked In
dian toy. She knew Lord Lyndhurst
frequently kept letters of consequence
In such a receptacle; why not money
for current expenses also? Her cheeks
flushed.
Two Malny krlscs, mementos of for
eign travel, lay near. She caught up
one. her face ablaze with scarlet
shame; she was about to wrong the
man she had sworn to love, but were
there deeper depths still?
Lady Lyndhurst, you will perceive,
was very Inexperienced Indeed.
For a moment she wavered; then,
growing hot nnd cold by turns, she In
serted one of the dagger points be
tween tho casket lids. It was not quite
easy to pry asunder, tho Ivory being
strengthened by steel bands within,
but, exerting all her force, sho did suc
ceed In wrenching the cover nslde.
What to her eyes was a confused mass
of papers lay atop; beneath, however,
she saw the gleam of gold,
She hastily took the money, some
score of sovereigns, and then was about
to rush from the room when an Irre
sistible Impulse made her carry the
casket to the rosy circle of light cast
upon the table from the low-shaded
lamp. She scarcely admitted It, but
her heart was throbbing with a mad
hope that hidden here might be some
document proof of past or present folly
on her husband's part which might
palliate In her own eyes the step she
meditated, because she still needed the
salve of self-Justlflcatlon, blng yet In
lending strings to sin.
It Is not necessary to dilate upon the
feelings with which she prosecuted
her search, since modern education Is
rendering the woman of today less and
less liable to the painful virtue that
gives them birth. An hour past It
seemed heroic to brave society's wrath
In the dramatic name of love, and If
her fault was great, at least she great
ly dared the penalty; It had not en
tered Into her calculations that first
she should sink to the level of thief and
spy. "If mother could only see mo
now!" she thought, and In her agony
sho blessed tho bitter fact that the
gracious face which had been to her
adoring eyes the loveliest on earth
was hidden away beneath tho yews of
a Sussex churchyard her heart at
least would not bleed tonight for a
daughter's Intamy.
The ense did not contain much af
ter all, only some blue, official look
ing papers, Ave or six letters addressed
In august handwriting, two morocco
covered little boxes nnd what she at
flrst mistook for a roll of hank notes
tied by a scrap of faded ribbon. A
light leaped into her eyes, her mouth
growing hard as she untied the latter.
Two more letters, on bearing a for
eign postmark, rewarded her efforts;
this last fell face downward, but Its
seal had a familiar look. She snatch
ed It up. tore away the cover, and be
tween the folds of the Inclosed paper
found a tress of gold-shot hair. She
perused the note breathlessly, the
handwriting was her own! It com
menced, "Dear Ralph," and ended on
tho same page; even now she felt lt3
curtness. It was dated some six
months back from a French watering
I place. Still, tho hair the hair? The
room began to swim, she reeled, but an
arm suported her, and, looking up.
she found herself In tho presence of
Lord Lyndhurst.
He did not speak.
She drew away and faced him des
perately, holding out the lock of hair.
"Whose Is this?" she demanded hoarse
ly. p

"Yours," ho answered.
"Mine! But how?"
"Yes; does It seem strange In a hus
band to keep a ringlet of his wife's
hnlr? I think It stranger that you do
not nppcar to recognize It. I cut tho
curl oft myself last year when you were
delirious from fovcr. There was soma
talk of shaving your head, and I
wished this, since hair changes color
often nfter such attacks, to remind mo
of what It was like tho day I met you
first under tho elms you recollect? In
your nvenue."
There was a curiously low tone In
his voice; ho did not appear to mark
the traveling dress, tho disorderly
table, or even the shattered caskot.
Lady Lyndhurst shivered. After a
pause he continued: "I put It there
where I keep the most valued things
I possess; some communications with
which her majesty has honored me, my
star, the cross I got over that Durmah
trouble: and yes those two 'letters,
one wherein you accept me as husband,
nnd the other before us, the one you
wrote from Brittany when our child
died."
Lady Lyndhurst had grown pale,
her very lips were white; she sank Into
a chair, the tress slipping from her
nerveless hand. His lordship stooped
slowly and picked It up.
"I fear," he went on, "you will think
this a sad travesty of "The Rape of tho
Lock.' I wonder what Pope would
have made of his poem with an old
fellow like me for hero!"
Lady Lyndhurst sat silent, but many
things came back to her as he spoke:
little acts of sacrifice, of unrecognized
unrequited tenderness; ho was old,
too no, not so very, very old, and
years had brought him honor what
would they bring her? She closed her
eyes, but the hot tears forced them
open again.
Tho Honorable Cecil Templeton was
saying to himself Just then that you
never know where you are with a wo
mana certnln person was making cx
actly the same remark.
Her husband turned nslde, and as
he did so his eye caught tho white
envelope, on the dressing case. Sho
saw htm take It up, read the super
scription, nnd then, adjusting his
glasses, bring It nearer the light. Her
voice seemed lost, but something must
be said lest he should read that letter
In her presence; morever, sho distinct
ly recollected that she had spelled the
word "misapprehend" wrongly It was
very humiliating. All she could think
of, however, was tho pitifully Inade
quate remark: "You have come from
tho house earlier than .usual, Lord
Lyndhurst?" '
He looked round courteously. "Yes,"
he replied, "I do not think that I shall
be so late at the house for some tlmo
ns I have been lately. Ah! we go out
you see, on that Indian policy question,
and, of course, I shall lose office."
The voice wns calm, but her quick
ear detected Its maimed Inflection. She
pressed her hand against her heart.
She understood now, with the sympa
thy of awakening love nnd remorse,
the weight of the blow he had received,
the passion with which he had striven
for his party, the absolute unselfish
ness of his labors, even the pathos of
his belief that In its policy alone lay
England's hope amid the wreck and
ruin of disjointed times. And this was
the hour sho had chosen for betrayal.
He was bending nearer the light,
breaking the wax.
"Lord Lyndhurst! Ralph!" she
gasped. "For God's sake don't read
ttyat! It was written under a a mis
apprehension!" His lordship did not appear sur
prised. He trifled with the lampshade,
apparently, and in a moment tho
feeble flame went out, leaving the room
lit only by the flickering gleam from
tho tiny hearth Are. Holding the let
ter aloft, ho said his voice resonant as
It had been that night In tho house
when ho fought a losing light with a
gallantry that put younger men to
shame: "This was not Intended to be
read until after."
"No; but oh, there need be no 'after'
If you will only forgive me!"
Lady Lyndhurst never know how It
happened, but in an Instant she was
sobbing on her husband's breast, sob
bing out a confused tangle of childish
words, and conscious that every sob
only tightened the clasp of the loyal
arms around her.
And so, by the grace of God and tho
force of circumstances, the Honorable
Cecil Templeton traveled alone.
Black and White.
A NEW SOVEREIGN STATE.
Tho .Republic of the Acre, the Lat
est Government In South America.
From the New York Sun.
Probably there are no! many people
who have' heard of the Republic of thu
Acre. It Is n brani' new state which
has arisen in South Amerirn In the last
few weeks. It owes Its origin to tho
fact that a large part of the Inteilor
of South America Is a no-man's land,
some parts claimed by two or even
three of the republics which have no
clearly defined limits.
A certain Rodriguez Aries happened
along, and determined to take advant
age of thl8 state of affairs. He was
an adventurer who had seen much of
the world, having been successively a
bank employe In Spain, a. theatrical
manager in the United States, a clerk
of works In Paris, and a broker In
tho Argentine Republic. While In
Buenos Ayres ho made the acquaint
ance of the gentlemen who are now
his ministers of state.
Rodriguez Aries proclaimed a vast
territory bordering on Brazil and Bo
livia as the Republic of the Acre, so
called from the river of that name, a
tributary of the Amazon, which flows
through It. The territory has an ex
tent of somo 200,000 square miles and
on estimated population of 50,000. It
was claimed by both Brazil and Bo
livia, but that did not matter to Rod
riguez Aries. He established his capi
tal at a small village called Antlmalrl,
appointed his ministers and was ready
for business. Ho calculates on raising
revenue from a royalty on the rubber
gathered In his territory, which de
pends principally on that staple for Its
commerce.
Roderlguez Aries Is an Intelligent,
wide-awake man, apparently about r.O
years old. His face Is of a decided Span
ish cast, with kindly looking eyes,
which beam on you through a pair of
gold-rlmmed spectacles. From his ap
pearance one might take him to be. a
professional man, a lawyer or a doc
tor. Whether the new Republic of Aero
will take a permanent place nmong tho
family of nations remains to bo seen.
It may bo noted that there aro pros
perous states In existence today which
have arisen In the same manner as the
Republic of tho Acre; among these
may be mentioned tho Transvaal and
tho Orange Free State In South Africa,
which were also established by adven
turers In a no man's-land, and are now
of sufllcient Importance to make no
small noise In the world.
The region of the Acre Is one of the
hottest nnd most healthful In South
America. It Is also ono of the richest

In rubber, which grows wild In tho
woods In great abundance, and those
engaged In the rubber trade can gen
erally calculate on making their for
tunes In four or Ave years If they es
cape the malarial fevers and other dis
eases which dog the steps of the white
man In these latitudes.
The territory of tho Acre, or a por
tion of It, was granted not long ago
to an American syndicate by the gov
ernment of Bolivia, which had n very
doubtful title to It. The syndicate was
to build a railway and make other Im
provements, but the project never came
to anything, owing partly to tho dis
puted ownership of the land, which led
to litigation, and finally resulted In the
proclamation of Independence already
referred to.
CITIZENSHIP IN TRANSVAAL
Exact Provisions of the Present Law
Which Is One of tho Principal
Causes of the War.
From The Times-Herald.
The present law was passed by tho
volksraad July S of this year, oslensl
bly ns a concession to the Ultlandors,
and contains certain modifications ot
the older statute, which may best ba
understood by a preliminary consider
ation of the latter's requirements.
Before tnklng up the discussion of
the steps necessary to secure citizen
ship it will be well also to note an im
portant distinction between burghers
of tho first nnd second class, which Is
n vital part of the constitution nnd
seriously affects the political status
of residents In the republic.
Actual political power Is vested sole
ly In burghers of the fist class. This
comprises all male whites who resided
In tho Transvaal before May 2!), 1S7G,
or who took an active part In the war
of independence In 1SS1, the oxp?dltlon
to Swaziland In 1891, against th
Jameson raid In 18f.5-fi and in all tho
tilbal wais of the republic, and the
children of such persons from the asa
of 10. It is only the citizens thus de-
.nun m, uuti: an uiKiueBiiunou rigni
to vote for members of the flrst chain-
ber of the legislature, which, with the
executive, Is In supreme control of uf-
fairs,
Scond-class burghers include the
naturalized male aliens and their
children from the age of 16. They, ns
well as fltst-class burghers, nny vote
for members of tho inferior second
chamber.
RFSTRICTIONS.
Under the old 1pw naturalization
might be obtained after two years'
residence and registration on the books
of the field cornet by tnklng the oath
of allegiance and paying a JC2 fee. Tho
ullen who 1iad proceeded so far wav, i
however, a long wav from full citizen-
ship. Naturalized burghers could be.

practically valueless. In the flr.it
place, tlmufjh It was supposed to bo
retroactive. fo that residence previous
to Its passnee would codnt In natur

the applicant mii'l decl.iro his Inten
tion to lake advantage ot th net with
in six months of Its dale. In tho exist
ing state of affairs tho tlltlanders
could not consent to be drummed In
nfter this fnshlon, nnd by this tlni'i
the clause Is n dend letter.
DECEPTIVE FL'ATUIIES.
But the law Is also deceptive In a
much broader sense. TJoth naturalis
ation nnd the right to franchise am
conditioned on certificates from field
cornet and landrost, countersigned by
tho commnndant of the dlvlMon In
which the applicant resides, or, in do
fault thereof, on aflldnvlts from at
least two burghers. These must do
clnro the nppllcnnt' continuous reg
istration In the held cornet's list. res.
Idcnce during tho rrqulieil time In the
republic, obedience to the laws of tha
land, nnd that he has committed no of
fense against the Independence of tlvi
republic. Furthermore, ha must tnka
"f!ldavlt that ho has never been sen
tenced for certain crimes and produce
further nvldimcn of good conduct;
must satisfy a property qualification,
and must abjure nlteelnnco to other
countries during his long probationary
period.
Some of the provisions arc not un
reasonable In themselves, but It Is
clear that If the Ilocr policy were to
keep nllens out It would be Impossible
to get the necessary certificate from
field cornet, lndrost nnd commnndant
or the aflldavlts from burghers. Nor
would anything bo gained by nn ap
prial to the executive council, which Is
the source-' of tho policy.
As tho president, commnndant gen
eral nnd first chnmber ure elected by
first class burghers only nnd tho op
portunities for a sort of veto upon ap
plicants are so mnny, It Is no wonuei-4
that an alien should hesitate to fore
swear allegiance to his native coun
tiy for tho slight chance that Is of
fered him of becoming a citizen. The
franchise Is and must continue to bo
a Boer monopoly If tho TJoers are al
lowed to liavo their way.
It should be ndded that In Cape
Colony there aro no such discrimina
tions for or against Boers. Tho Boer
mnjority rules because It Is a major
ity, and no Englishman complains.
But the majority of the Transvaal,
which is or has ben Ultlandcrs, Is
completely under the thumb of the
armed minority.
GUANAJUATO'S WONDERFUL
MINES.
A lilstrlct In Mexico That Has Yield
ed Half a Billion Dollars.
From Modern Mexico.
Who that has visited Mexico has not
heard of the celebrated mines of Gu
anajuato, discovered In 1B4S by packers
going from Mexico to Zacatccas. The
first mine wns given the name of San
Barnabe, and two years later camo the
discovery of the celebrated San Juan
de Rayas; then In quick succession
Mellada, Santa Anita, Franstos, Cata,
SIrena nnd a host of others; but It wns
not till In tho course of tho eighteenth
century that Guanajuato reached a
sut prising degree of wealth and pros
perity. Then all the famous mines
were at tho height of their fame and
produced nn enormous nmount of gold
and silver. From 176C to 1S03 the
mines produced $105,000,000 In gold and
silver; from 1803 to 1887 tho production
was $353,816,500, which makes for a
period of 122 years tho enormous total
of $520,610,500. These figures arc taken
from the records of the ministry of en
couragement, and are undoubtedly cor
rect. If we consider that these mines
were worked for 218 years before 177G
and produced at least $4,000,000 a year
during that time, and that since 1837
the district of Guanajuato has pro
duced between five and six millions an
nually, It will be seen that the enor
mous total of between 1,400 and 1,500
millions has been added to the wealth
of tho world by this district. And
there are enormous tracts of tho great
vein from which all this wealth ha3
been taken that have hardly been well
prospected as yet.
The flrst mines ,worked on n large
scale were Rayas and Mellada; then
came Santa Anita, San VIncente, Cata,
Franstos, SIrena, Valenclana, La Luz,
Santa Lucia, San Jose de los Muchach
os and many others. The first of these,
San Juan De Rayas, Is one of the most
famous mines on the main vein, and
the document of denouncement Is the
oldest In the archives of Guanajuato.
The books of the owners show that
Rayas alone paid In royalties to the
king of Spain $17,363,000; and It has
been worked constantly for a period ot
349 years. Rayas and Valenclana aro
also noted for their great shafts of oc
tagon shape, the flrst 11.31 meters in
diameter and 382 meters deep, which
cost $1,700,000; the second 9.22 meters
diameter and C15 deep nnd walled In
with cut stone from the top to a depth
of seventy meters, which cost $1,200,000.
Going southeast from Mellada we come
to the Sirena, which is now being
worked by nn American company, who
have Just completed a fine modern 2J
stamp wet crushing mill with the Boss
continuous process of amalgamation.
From the SIrena southeast for a dis
tance of 2,000 meters the vein Is capped
and It has not been prospected enough
to determine Its value.
Then we come to another Important
group of gold mines of the Cedro nnd
laruones district, consisting of th
; Belgrade, Sun Jose. San Matlas, San
uuerra, caruones and union, of which
'the most Important are redio, which
has produced many thousands of tons
of ore, nnd has thousands of dollars'
worth or modern machinery on It, In-
'eluding hoist, compressor, boilers,
pumps nnd engines; Cardones, now
worked by the American company,
with a modern mill hoist, pumps, etc.,
and tho Union, which Is being rapidly

nel, and producing- very high grado

diet, nnd that all of his family aro
sand eaters, more or less.
