LIFE AND LOVE THE STAKES A Young Girl the Sacrifice From the Philadelphia Ti There had been s breath of spring in theair all day and the first flowers had been encouraged to pee? ever eo little out from their bedclothes of brown earth but as evening drew on a chill wind had cotne up and banked great angrydooking clouds in the western sky, and the snow drops Lad shivered and snuggled down once more with an aggrieved feeling that old winter had played a trick upon them The watcher at the window had found herself grow log cold also, but could not be induced bv her maid to have the cur tains drawn, but lay there still locking out into the garden where she could see her husband and Courtney Mayne pacing up and down the narrow paths. Narrow as they were, there was surely no need c him walking so cioee to the girl that her slight figure and his seemed sometimes to almobt blend, or perhaps that was be cause of the epiteful tears in the gray eyes of the woman at the window. How she longed to rise from her bed of ted I ous illness and descend upon tliat pair with what she call her "righteous anger," but which her lieait, which had the dis agreeable knack of calling things by their right name?, said was rauk ani bitter jealousy. "I w ill send her away to-morrow," she muttered, marking the slow tenderness with which her huibaad wrapped anew the crimson shawl about Ler young cou sin's form. ! would not have harbored her here so long had I not thought I cjuld the better watch them here, for, tied to this wretched bed as I am, I can never follow them to where they will fly to do their billing and cooing. She ha 1 long since guessed the seciet of these two, the husband she had made miserable so many years by causeless jealousy nnlil he had at Lvt given her ret! reason for the passion, and this girl, who in an evil hour had been left to her cire by a dead cousin w bom Bhe bad been rather fond of ia long gone-by school days, if he had no, hesitated to placet the vilest construction upon the love she ha 1 surprised. How she hated this fresh young beauty, the si't brown eyes, the babyish curls falling upon the white neck from the knot of Lirjwa hair, with g'eains of gold on the small head ' Ah, well, I will sxn be well novr," said Mrs. Hearne. "This new doctor will cure me, they say. He has wonder fa! skill. Tnatttupid old Dr. Gritn has fallen behind the times and knows noth ing of the new discoveries for such aillict- ed as I am I am g'.ad he has gone away. What is it, Susan V this petulantly, bat her tone changed as the woman announc ed that Dr. Homer waited down stairs. "tfhow him up at once. Ah, if I were only op and and about I could devise some plan by which I could avenge my self on her for stealing my husband from me. Why, I might even do something to cause his fancy for her to die a natural death. There Is nothing I would slop at to accomplish thaL" A man stood in the door, bowing, with his hat ia his hand. Mrs. Hearne turn ed with a set smile on her thin lips, but as she saw his face, she cried out amazed- ly. fcYoa! Why you are " "The new doctor, madam. Dr. Homer," Slid the man hastily with s glance out of his black eyes at the maid who followed. Mrs. Hearne looked fixedly at him for s moment, and then sailed again, but this time it was s cruel smile fall of some sad den purpose which cause-J the lip to curl back over the teeth in an expression that reminded one of a dog that snarls silent ly. "Ah, yes, Dr. Homer, she said slow ly, ''I am glad to see yoa, Dr. U mer. You may go Su3an." It really seemed that the new doctor was going to cure Mrs. Hearne in spite of the grave prognostications of the aged family physician, for daring the days that followed his coming bhe rallied and was brighter sad stronger than she had b.-en for months before. She was more polite to her bujband, and answered with an wonted gentleness his careful dai ly inquiry concerning her health, instead of the surliness with which she had here tofore met these attentions. Sae was even affdetionate with Ciartney, though she had never been rude to her, only silent snd hard to please when the young g rlfat with her. The new doctor came twice ana thrice s dy. Ojcs he hal f jin J Cjartney in the sick rosm, an! hid piused to gaze up in her wi'.h aljnirstion ia bis bold black eyes, but hj had caught Mrs. Uearne's menacing glance, snd had nev er since seemed to see me gin usne chanced to bj in the roam when he came which was not often, as Mrs. Hearne gen erally preferred to receive her physician alone. Courtney found that he had con trived to seek her oat on this pretence or that in other parts of the house, snd took to coming at an bout when she walked in the garden, through which he never neglected to pass as he went sway. Mr. Hearne saw this, too, snd frowned black ly npon the stranger, bat he dared not obje.-t to bis visits, f r then he woald have to reckon with his wife. He spoke to Courtney shoot it, snd as the girl turned her innocent eyes np to him with s pazzled look in their clear child-like depths, he confessed that he was jealous of everyone that look npon her. 'Wbr, Claude, bow can I help it? I dont like the man ; I never speak to him. Yoa know, oh, yoa know that I love only yo u, though I often fear that I am doin ESTAULaTSITED 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, wrong to do so. Bat yoa were so miser ably and she does not love yoa and yoa never loved her, so I thought God would pardon as that, as we do no won' to anybody." "He will ! he will, my darling," said C'aade Hearne, taking the one cares, she permitted him, a kion the white brow, Neither had noticed Arthur Hearne, iiauae s tad-brotner, as be sal bidden in the dark curtains straining his eyes st the window to read the book he held in the waning HghL He had risen to go as they entered the room, but had heard too much in the first moments to make it possible for him to retire then. He had returned recently from abroad to find his brothers wife dying, though she did not suspect it, of s slow, torturing disease, and that brother counting the hours till death should leave him free to marry this girl, wro was too innocent to dream of what ClauJe had in his heart She had accepted the fact that their love was hopeless, and seeing her beauty and parity Arthur could not find it possi ble to blame Claude niacb, knowing as be did what his married life had been, so he tried to stifle the emotion that sprang np in his own heart for this sweet creature, so friendless sj.d alone save fur him and Claude. "Would yoa please to come snd sit with her, Mrs. Hearne sent me to ask sir," said s servant entering the room where Arthur, behind the curtains, was playing the unwilling role of eveadrop per. Claud sprang np. "Does bhe mean me?" "Yes, sir, yoa and Miss Mayne, too, if yoa please, and Mr. Arthur." Wonder ing what this strange fancy portended, the three obeyed, the first going at once, the laet permitting the servant to depart to search for him ere emerging from his hiding place. But as Courtney walked beside Claude, he whispered : "We had better not go in together, dearest lest she suspect that we were so when we got her message." The girl agreed, though she could not see al ways the reason for many of her lovers subterfuges snd stepped back, while he went straight on. "Pardon me. Miss Mayne," said s voice so close to her her ear, that it startled her, "I will detain you but s moment. I want to say to yoa that I love yoa. I love yoa. I love yoa. Have yoa noth ing to say to me in return ?'' She looked at him in ami s :ment. Even in the fail ing light she could see that he was very white and agitated. "I do not understand yon, Dr. Homer," she said. "I am a stranger to yoa. Yoa cannot mean what yoa say." "Does time make any difference?" he asked. 1 loved you when 1 saw yoa first titling with that she devil in there. I would save yoa from her. I love yoa She was frightened at his manner, at her words. He seemed somehow to have dropped a mask and stood likes panting fiend before her. But she found her voice at last. 1 Yoa mast not tell me that. Dr. Homer. It is impofttible. And if it were so I could never love you in return." He strained his eves to see her her face and read there no doubt the horror she had of him, but he persisted. "You do not mean it, Yoa ill give me some hope ; yoa must ! Yoa do not know what it means to me and to you," She drew Ler dress from his grasp, and answered him more coldly than she knew or meant. "I do not love you, Dr. Homer, and yoa must never speaK to me of this again." With s wild Laugh he flung np bis arms, "tteii, well, have it your own away, my lady ! I would have, from my love of you, saved yoa at any price from the rage of s devilish woman, but no, yoa scorn me tie might nave said more, but Arthur's quiet step was near them, and he rushed away. When Arthur and Courtney entered Mrs. Uearne's bed chamber, they found her husband reading to her, and the sick woman lying smiling at Lim. Ah, Courtney, dear," she said pleas antly, "would yon mind giving me my medicine. Susan has gone down to the illirge to see her mother snd yoa will find the medicine snd the glass of milk I take it in on the table in the next room." The gitl, still dazd from her recant ex perience, walked into the small ante chamber and had advanced nearl to the table when she saw to her surprise Dr. Homer seated at it. He bowed coldly and handed her the glass of milk after be had dropped into it s white powder that he had taken from a box in Lis pocket and which box be had then dropped into the open fire and watched it consume. Courtney took the milk in silence an 1 walked back to where Mrs. Hearne lay watching the scene in the next room through the cur tains, which were drawn back. Claude snd Arthur sat at the far end of the bed room, where they could not see into the smaller chamber. As she took the glass from the girl's hand Mr. Hearne looked her in the eyes with s hard maliciocs smile. Shall I drink this, Coartney Mayne?" she said. The girl started. " Why, if yoa if " snd paused in confusion under that steady smile, so full of cruelty aid triumph. Mrs. Hearne deliberately pour ed the milk into a saucer that stood upon the table near by, and called to the cat that lay before the fire. The animal rose lazily snd walked over to the milk, then bent and drank it until the vessel was mpty. It returned to the rug and lay down for s minute or two, snd Claude, ho had laid down his book to watch his wife's strange movements, was about to resume his reading when all at once the cat leaped to its feet with a scream of agony, then rolled over in convulsions on the floor. It gasped s few times snd presently lay dead btfjre the eyes of the wondering group. Ha, yoa woald have poisoned me, wretch," cried Mrs. Hesrne, raising her self in the bed snd pointing s long, thin finger st the shrinking form of her cous in. "Bat when yoa dropped the powder that was intended for me, sod which has killed the cat, in the milk, yoa forgot that I could st yoa through the door. Arthur, Claade, call an officer snd have this girl carried to prison on a charge of attempt to marder. Ah, yoa coveted my place so much, fy lady, that yoa could not wait for disease to set your lover free to marry yoa, bat had to hasten matters for yoarselfl" Coartney, roused by these stinging APRIL 4, 1894. words, cried sload : "Yoa speak fa'sely if yoa say yoa saw me prepare tho draught for yon. It was Dr. Homer who gave it to yoa." Mrs. Hearne turned s puzzled look upon her husband and his brother, who listened in silent horror to this quick ex change of charges. "Dr. Homer! He left me half sn hour ago. Yoa mast have passed Lim in the hall. Or yon, Arthur, did yoa not see him go?" The yoacg man bowed re luctantly and Mrs. Hearne went on : "Look in the room and see if he is there. Heard any of yoa voices when this wretch went for my medicine? And to prove her s liar doubly, see here I have the key of the other door to the room here under my pillow. Susan will tell yoa I had her to lock it before she left me." Arthur walked deliberately into the ante-chamber and tried the door, and, as it indeed proved to be locked, his face w h itened still more. Coartney b ad stood frozen for the List few moments, never even looking at her tormentor. Then, with s sudden giving away to tears, she cried, turning to Claud with outstretch ed hands and pitiful face, from which the pretty pink color had all flown : "Claade, Claude, dearest, say yoa do not believe this awful plot to rain me. Oh, Claud, yoa said yoa loved me, and surely, surely, dear, yoa cannot thick me guilty." She ran to him and would have pot her head down on his breast, but he thrust her away roughly. "Murderess! he said, through his clinched teeth, and. with one long cry of agony, the girl flung up her arms and fell at bis feet. Arthur came forward snd drew her helpless form up into his embrace, the white face falling forward on his shoulder. "Stand aside, all of you," he said stern ly ; "I am going to take her to the minis ter's wife in the village, where yoa can find her when she has to answer to this charge." When he had done this he took from its case a silver-mounted revol ver, and looked well to its loading, and snd with this be walked down to D . Homer's ofiioe. The doctor was still up, and answered the visitor's knock in per son, snd smiled as he greeted Arthur Hearne. He needed friends, did the doctor, and it behoved Lim to be pleasant, but his smile died away as Arthur closed the door and, locking it, put the key in Lis pocket ; then, drawing his revolver, seat ed himself on a table and faced the doctor. "Xow, James French, murderer and fugitive convict, confess how yoa snd Mrs. Hearne have contrived to ruin that poor girl." Dr. Homer sprang to his feet, and would Lave pulled open s drawer close at hand, but Arthur Uearne's quiet voice checked him : ' It's no use, French ; I have the drop on yoa, so you may as well give in. Tell me all, and qaick'y." Then, sullenly bet completely, Homer, or French, told his story. Mrs. Hearne bal seen him in prison while visiting the penitentiary a few years before and had recognized him on his coming to treat her. Bat she bad, on condition that he would aid her in raining the girl she hated, promised to keep his secret. They had arranged the whole plot as has been seen, only Mrs. Hearne had not known now near Homer had been to sparing their victim because of his love for her, snd had Courtney not sxrned h:s ad vances he would have failed, in site cf Mrs. Uearne's power over him, to carry out his part of the pi L Mrs. Hearne had given him a second key to the door, and his presence there when Courtney was U fetch the milk was to cause the girl to try and clear herself by tellingof it when it would be seen that the door was locked and her innocence suffer still more be cause of the lie she was suppose J to tell. "Xow," said Arthur Hearne, "you moot sign this statement of yours wnicn l have written down." "What, and go back to the 'pen for conspiracy r lauLed trench. "ot much !" "Then yoa will go back for murder," declared Arthur, 'for I shall most cer tainly inform ajainst you." "Yoa will, yoa wiil, my friend V cried French, springing at Hearne so suddenly as to throw the latter of his guard, and the convict held his enemy to the flxr, while he flourished s keen-bladed knife above him. Arthur looked up at him quietly. "Do yoa think, French, that I was fool enough to trust myself here at this boar of the n:ght with s desperate man without taking precautions. I left a sealed note with my friend, the Presbyterian minis ter, saying that should I (not return by 11 o'clock, he is to opea the note, which contains directions to the Sheriff of the county to come and take you." French rose and allowed Arthur to do so. "I know when I am beaten," be said, "I will sign the statement, Xow, tell me how too caught on to the trick." Arthur laaghed. "By the presence of the cat in Mrs. Uearne's room. She has always declared that she hated these an imals, and woall never allow one of tie in about her, and that cat vas too op portunely ia her room to-night." Then he added to himself, "I eoa'.d not love s woman I could not trait, snd in spite of the many things that have looked black sgainst my darling for so many months I have known she was as pure snd good as any woman in the land, though she hsi fallen into ill hands and bad advis ors" With the statement French had signed bis hand, Arthur walked back to his brother's snd rang the bell several times before an ans wer came. Oh, Mr. Arthur," said the man- servsnt who let him ix "B pardon, sir, bat we're all so npset." But Arthur, in bis haste to reach the woman in whose face he meant to thrust the confession of her accomplice, with small ceremony strode on np the stairs to her door. In answer to his knock only Susan came, snd as she opened the door Arthur caught sight of s rigid figure on the bed, covered from head to foot with s sheet. Yes, sir," said the maid, "my mistress died a few minutes after yoa left the hoase." The wretched woman had brought her punishment down npon her self with her own hand, for the excite ment of the scene she Lad planned bad kill! Ler. IP e Six months later Claade Hesrne stroll ed down to the litt'e parsonage that bad given shelter to Lis darling since that dreadful night. As he entered the dark little parlor he became aware that with Coartney stood s man. This man turn ed toward him, and he saw that he was face to face with his brother Arthur, whom he had not seen since the latter had thrust into his hands the confession of the convict French and had left him without s word. French had been killed s few days after in resisting arrest by the oMicers who had traced him here, and Claude's own care for public opinion had sent him away for some months, so that in all that time the players in that drama ha 1 not met since. Claade had no but scant greeting for his brother, but went forward at once to speak to Courtney. "My darling, I have come back ! Yoa knew that I would, didn't yoa? I have come for my w ife." Coartney fell back to the embrace of that other lover who had been loyal to her in her dark hour, and as his arm went about her she dropped her fair head back on his shoulder, still facing Claade as she did so. "Didn't yoa know," she said ia her sweet, soft accents, through which now ran a ripuleof shv. happy pride, "that to-morrow is my wedding day to Arthur ? Texas. A Fainting Gag. I got into town one night, and was at s loss to know what to do until I ac cidentally met an old hobo who was trying to make bis living as a city tramp. He had been in the place only s few days and he had not yet found Lis par ticular district, lie was simply browsing about in search of it and he suggested that we try a certain quarter of the town that he had not visited at all. We did try it, and after visiting twenty houses got only two piecee of bread and butter. This, naturally enough, made my partner angry, and be told me to go back to the "hangout" while he went on another beat. I waited for him nearly an hour, when he returned with a "pokeout" (food given at the door) and s "sinker" (a dollar). I, of course, was a little sur prised and asked for details. "Oh, I got 'em right 'nough," he said. Ye see, after leavin' yoa I wuz so dead harstile that I wuz ready for anythin. n' the Erst house I struck wuz a parson's.

Two Members of the Ways and Means Committee and Their Theories on Tariff. DISCUSSED BY A FORMER SOMERSET BOY, From the Kanaj City Journal. I believe the Democratic party, true to its history, its doctrinal traditions, its po litical dogmas as expressed in its plat forms ; to its conventional and roetruui denouncements, and its innate, heredita ry antipathy to the working classes, is at tempting to perpetrate a deliberate and diabolical crime. The same Spirit that upheld slavery in the Last, oppressed the zeiots in Greece, created the terfs cf Russia and enslaved the workingnien of continental Europe and England under the feudal system finds expression in the Wilson taritf bill, and seeks to bind the workiogmen of America ia the bonds of degradingslavery to the money interests of the East and England. Might made this spirit powerful in the Old World ; cantrol of legislation makes it potent on the western continent. The spirit is the spirit of retrogression snd it dwells in the past. The onward tendency of the human race is odious to it. In Russia it is the czar and sends its opponents to Siberia ; in France it destroys its enemies by ostracism snd the guillotine; in Eng land it is the home of lords and stands in the path of liV.ty ; in America it is the Democratic party and the ways and means committee of the present con gress. The leading member of this commit tee is a fairly respectable country lawyer, residing in a small town in West Virgin ia. He is also a college professor and an accredited political and professional doctrinaire of the Ctlhoaa tvpe, who, , previous to his advent in congress, was j cf some lxal renown in the mountains j of his ftate. By what chance he was J made chairman of the ways and means committee, or for what reason be was ctlled to the first position on the leading and commercial committee of the present congress, is a question that only the per nicious spirit that controls the Democrat ic party, in its opposition to American interests, cm answer. A better exponent of the ductriues and theories of the re la Liocs of labor to commerce, as held by the slavocracy of the South, and the op pressors of man in all times, could hard ly be found. His wil.ingnessto sacrifice the leading and principal producing interests of his own state to the theories of his college and the dogmas of his party are, from a Democratic standpoint, perhaps his most commendable characteristic's. Free coal and free lumber will materially and ru inously reduce the value of the coal and lumber output cf West Virginia. Inci dentally, the commercial vaiue of prop erty interests cf et ery kind wiil be af fected. As was shown to Mr. Wilson by a committee from Lis own state, the la borers in the min.-s and forests wiil suffer more even than the proprietora. Facts are never salient arguments to theorists whose commercial experiences have been confined w ithin the limits of the class room. When the Sherman law wn about to be repealed, I believe it was 51'. Wilson who loudly proclaimed the im mediate collapse of the money panic in case the repealing act should become a law. The complete demonttizvtion of silver, by reason of the rep.-al cf the .hermaa law, has rendered the financial situation grave beyond the experience of ail men now living, and I believe bevond the experience of all past g?nrsi ;n i of men. TbesTUi'l mattei of srreckidgtl.e mon etary system, together wi:h tbeco a n-jr-cia! system cf the country, does not seem evn to suggest to Mr. Wilson that in Lis attempt to force his peculiar theories of finance and commerce oa tha country he may be "hoist with his owa petard." I be'ieveonce in his history Mr. Wil son attempted something practical (?' and tried to control the heterogeneoas ele ments that male up the Democratic con vention of lv.'l. As a parliamentarian his efforts were like his prophesies re garding silver "lull of soand and fory signifying nothing." There is no more reason to suppose Mr. Wilson's tariff the ories will be eifective, Lis utterances re garding silver come true, than there is for insisting his parliamentary theories put in practice were able to control the turbulent spirit of a Democratic conven tion. Mr. Wi'son's bill clxsses coal as "raw material" and puts it oa the free list. Coal on the dump consists of 'JO per cent, libor aad 10 per cenL "raw material." American coal as compared to British coal consis's of 9 per cent- labor and C percent, rav material. Iron ore bears to raw material ahoat the same relation as coal, yet the laborer in the coal and iron mines, we!! fed, honied and clothed, mast put himself in'o competition with inferior labor, not so well housed, cloth ed or fed, because Mr. Wilson has a the ory tha. what he (the laborer) pro-laces is "raw" materia'. There is no such thing as raw material. There is material com mercially so classed, bat its principal in gredient is labor, and the free admission of iron and coal simply means competi tion between the labor producing iron and coal. There is nothing truer than that this competition wiil be detrimental to A merican lab or and its interests. Dis crimination against the American labor er, however, seems fully within the par view of Mr. Wilson's theories. Mr. Tarsnev, like bis confrere theorist, is s lawyer better known as a politician with weakness for carrying bis ward in bis pocket, than in the higher walks of the profession. An ex-Union soldier, with s good record, opposed to the pay ment of pensions to those who suffered in the battles fought for the freedom of labor on thta continent, he seems to have become a convert to the theories of evil associations st Washington, snd to be equally anxious as his party to advance the interests of the money power. More s Democrat than an American be appears willing as Mr. Wilson to sacrifice the ma terial interests ofhis own State at the de mand of those he opposed during the re bellion. The production of lead and the devel opment of lead and sine mines are in- duotrial erfr-n.r'u-rs tf great rooment ia Missuuri, and many cf Mr. Tarsnej constituents for rather, those who were his coc.-titn- at-n havs large sums of aijatT iuvisted in lead and zinc proper ties. Such a small matter seeais not to trouble Mr. Tarsney, if he even knew it, as he appears on the ways and means committee as one of the avowed cham pions of free lead as "ra rnateri.il." l" oonrs free lead will materially a 1-van,- iii iiitere-iis i,f the Kan City .""iiie'tiiig and R-rinitig Company, theon I !.-l c.rj- i-iiw.u or individual that ill not be injured by the placing of lead ores on the free list. Aa intelligent snJ wide awake Democrat, s worker in the lead mines of Southwestern Missouri, raid to me yesterday : "Our wages under the Mc hi in ley tarilf were from tZti to J.o0 per day. Should the Wilson bill pass we shall have to compete with the peon labor of Mexico, and Z suppose re duce ourselves to their condition." I am told Mr. Tarsney is about to go to Mexico. It woald be well for bim to visit the mines of Zscatecas and Sonors, and to compare the laborers in the lead and silver mines there and their condi tion with the class and conditions of sim ilar workers in this country. If he can look on the poor, half starved, half cloth ed, half fed, illiterate peon and not feel any ompanctions of conscience because of his etfort to rednce the laborer ia the mines cf Missouri to an approximate condition, it will be because Mexican mescal and pulque will blunt his sense. as the Democratic doctrines and theories cf this country seem to have done. In his speech at the Auditorium Satur day night Mr. Tarsney admitted that the Wilson tariff, while reducing the duties now laid on certain articles: "created at deiicit" that would have to be made up by taxation in other directions or deriv ed "from increased imports.- This means that the American people must purchase from f JOO.OiW.OUO to SWO.000.000 of for eign manufactured articles and foreign "raw material" to meet the revenue re quirements of the government. If this is true, and I believe it is generally ad mitted, it might be suggested that Mr. Tarsney s theory includes not only a tar iff tor the creation of revenue, but a tar iJfor the creation of debt as welL A little inquiry into trade conditions might inform him that it woald be absolutely impossible for the people of this country to absorb any greater amount of foreign manuf.tc:ared articles than they are now doing, and that the American people are almost a unit in their desire to curtail in stead of increase the consumption of im ported articles and imported "raw mate rial" Mr. Lirry Neil, formerly of Ohio, an nounced with much elation and bluster in the Democratic convention of 1SJI, the report of the minority of the com mittee oa platf rm that denounced "Re publican protection as a fraud." Since the ides of November all knowledge snd trace of Mr. Neal has been lost ; even his place of resident is not now known. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Tarsney aad the snpport eisof Mr. Wilson's debtcreating, htbor oppressing taritf theories are, fortunate'y for the welfare of Uie country, about to fail into the abysm of a similar unknown and unmarked political grave.
