"Every thing' has happened," be answered. "What do you mean, George? Are you ill ? What is the matter with, you ?" "I am worse than ill, John; a great deal worse than ill. I wish I were ill." "That, wouldn't help things, whatever is wrong. Come, wake up. Tell me what the trouble is." "John, lam a fool—an asr;—a gibber ing idiot." "Admitting that—what then?" "I trusted a woman—imbecile that i am; and now—now —l'm what you see me." "Has—Las Mies Brewster anything' to do with it?" asked Kenyon, suspi ciously. "She has everything 1 to do with it." "Has she—rejected you, George ?" ""What! that girl? Oh, you're the j idiot now. Do you think I would ask ) her?" j "I cannot be blamed for jumping at conclusions. You must remember 'that grrl,' as you call her, has had most of your company during- this voyage; arid most of your good words when you were mnot with her. What is the matter? What has she to do with your trouble?" Wentworth paced up and down the narrow limits of the state-room as if he were caged. He smote his hand against his thigb, while Kenyon looked at him in wonder. *'l don't know how I can tell you, John," he said. "I must, of course; but I don't know how I can." "Come on deck with me." "Never." "Come out, I say, into the fresh air. It is stuffy here, and, besides, there is more danger of being overheard in the "T«I1 m« wbat bit* happened." repeated John Sin ay on. stateroom than on deck. Come along, old fellow." He caught his companion by the am, and partly dragged him out of the room, closing the door behind him. "Pull yourself together," he said. "A little fresh air will do you good." They in ado their way to the deck, and linking arms walked up and down. For a long time Wentworth said noth ing, and Kenyon had the tact to hold his peace. Suddenly Wentworth noticed that they were pacing back and forth in front of Miss Brewster, so he con tinued his walk around to the other side of the ship. After a few turns up arid down, lie naid: "You remember Rivera, of course?" "Certainly." "He was employed on that vile Blicet, the Now York Argun." "I anppoftc it is a vile sheet. I don't remember ever seeing l it. Yes, I know he wan connected with that paper. What then? What, has Mi.su Brewster to do with Rivera?" "She is one of the Argus staff, too." "George Wentworth, you don't mean to tell mo that!" "I do." "And ia she here to find out about the mine?" "Exactly. Khe mm put on the job after Rivera had failed." "George 1" said Kenyon, suddenly dropping lii« companion's arm, and fac ing him. "What have you toid her?" "There is the misery of it. I have told her everything." "My dear fellow, how could you lit:—" "Oh, I know—l know. I know every thing you would nay. Everything you can Hay f have Kaid to iriywdf, and ten times more and ten times worm:. There ia nothing you crm my of me more bit ter than what I think alxmt myself." "Ili'l you tell her anything about my report?" "I told her everything, everything! Do you understand ? Hhe la going to telegraph from Queenstown the full es sence of our rej^irta—of both our re port*." "Heavens! This Is fearful. Ta there no way you would try to prevent her sending It?" "If you think you can prevent her 1 wish you would try it." "How did you find it out? Did she tell you?" "Oh, it, doesn't matter how I found It out. I did find it, out. A man told me who she was; then I asked her, and she was fierfeetly frank about it. Hhe read me tin; report even." "Rend it to you?" "Yes, rc-ad it to me, and punctuated it in my presence put In wirne worda that 1 suggested Ha being better than those she had used. Oh, it was the coolest piece of work you ever saw." "Hut there inuil be some way of pre venting her getting that account to New York in time. You Bee, all we have t/i do ia to wire your people to hand in our report to the directors, and then her rojiort la forestalled. Hhe fuut 121 telegraph from a Hrltlsli office, ond it seems l/> me that we could atop her in some way." "As for Instance, how?" "Oli, 1 don't know just how at the momenf, but we ought to 1«> able to On it. If It was a man we could have him arrested u dynitrnit'-T or isonic tliing; but a Wliman, of criurse, in more difficult ileal wil'h. George, I would appeal to In-r belter nature If 1 were you." Wc.ntwurth "Better nature?" lie nuid. "Hhe hann't any; awl that In not the worrit of it. Hhe him 'calculated/ iw. &h<- call» It, «1I tli'i fK. iibllltic'i )n ilir, affair; t.h" 'calculaUw' (but wo will reach Queen i town u. IJO ut Kat urday night.

"George, that woman is a fiend." "No, she isn't, John. She is meiely a clever American journalist, who thinks she has done a very clever good piece of wo.-k indeed, and who, through the stupidity of one man, has succeed ed, that's all." "Have you made anv appeal to her at all?" "Oh, haven't I? Of course I have. What good did it do? She merely laughed at me. Don't you understand? That is what she is here for. Her whole voyage is for that one purpose; ond it's not likely the woman is going to forego her triumph after IWving succeeded—more especially as some body else in the same office has failed. That's what gives additional zest to what she has done. The fact that Riv ers has failed and she has succeeded, seems to bo the great feather in her cap." "Then," said Kenyon, "I am going to appeal to Mis 3 Brewster myself." "Very well. I wish you joy of your job. Do what yo% can, John, there's a good fellow. Meanwhile I want to be alone somewhere." Wentworth went down the stairway that led to the steerage department, and for a few moments sat among the steerage passengers. Then he climbed np another ladder, and got to the very front of the ship, nere he sat down on a coil of rope and thought over the situation. Thinking, however, did him -very little good. He realized that even if he got hold of the paper Miss Brews ter had, she could easily write out an other. She had the facts in her head, and all she needed to do was to get to a telegraph office, and there write out her message. Meanwhile Kenyon took a few turns up and down the deck thinking deeply on the eame subject. lie passed over to the side where Miss Brewster sat, but on coming opposite her had not the courage to take his place beside her. She was calmly reading her book. Three times he came opposite her, paused for a moment, and then contin ued his hopeless march. He saw that his courage was not going to be suffi cient for the task, and yet felt the task must be accomplished. He didn't know how to begin. He didn't know what inducement to offer the young woman for foregoing the fruits of her inge nuity. He felt that this was tlio weak point in his armor. The third time he paused in front of Miss Brewster, nhe looked up and motioned him to the cliair beside her, saying: "I don't know you very well, Mr. Kenyon, but I know who you are. Won't you sit down beside mo for a few moments?" The bewildered inau sat down on the chair she indicated. "Now, Mr. Kenyon, I know just what is troubling you. You have passed three or four times whilling toeitdown beside me and yet afraid to venture. Is that not true?" "Quite true." "I knew it was. Now I know also what you have come for. Mr. Went worth has told you what the trouble is. He has told you that ho haR given rne all the particulars about the mines, hasn't he?" "He liaa." "Arid he has gone off to his state room to think over the ma»tter, and lias left 1114? affair Id your luinUii, uwl you imug ine you can come here to me, and, per haps, talk me out of sending that dis patch to the motive?" "That, in aboti t what I hope to be able to do," Maid Kenyon, mopping his brow.. "Well, I thought I might ju»t as well put you out of your misery at once. You take things very seriously, Mr. Kenyon, I '-an nee that. Now, don't you ?" "I'm afraid T do." "Why, of course you do. The publica tion of this, as I told Mr. Wentworth, will really not matter at. all. It will not be, any reflection on either of you, tiecause your freindt will )«■ sure that if you had known to whom you wen? talking, you would never have said anything alxiut the mines." Kenyon smiled grimly at thin piece of comfort. "Now, I have, been thinking about something since Mr. Wentworth went away. I am really very sorry for him. I am more. Korry than I can tell." "Then," said John, "won't you—" "No, 1 won't, so we rie*-dn't recur to that phase of the subject. That is what I am here for, and, no matter what, you say, tin- dispatch in going to be sent. Now, It in letter to understand that at tirt, and then it will create no trouble afterwards. Oon'tyou think that is the I .est?" "Probably," answered the wretched man. "Well, then, let u» start there. I will say in tin; cablegram that the Informa tion coinr-H from neither Mr. Kenyon nor Mr. Wentworth." "Ye«, but that wouldn't l>e true." "Why, of course it wouldn't Is-, true, but that doesn't matter, doe« it?" "Well, on our side of the water," said Kenyon, "we think that the truth does matter." Mi an llrewater laughed heartily. "Dear jne," she said, "what little tact you have. How doe* it concern you whether it is true or not? I f there Is any falsehood it is not you who tells it, no> you are free from all blame. Indeed yon are free from all blame, anyhow, in thisaffair; It is all your friend Wen.t worth's fault; but still. If it hadn't been Wentworth, it would have been you." Kenyon looked up at her incredulous h- "Oh yes, it would," site said, nod ding confidently at him. "Yon must not flatter yourself In-eau e Mr. Went worth told me everything about it, that you wouldn't have done just the. !iime, If I had to find It out from you. All men are pretty much alike when; women are concerned." "Can I say nothing to you, Miss Hrcwster, which will keep you front sending the j,,«« Mage to America?" "No, you cannot. I thought we had enttlcd that at the beginning. 1 see there is no use talking to you. I will return t»> my book, whioh is very Inter esting. flood morning, Mr. Kenyon." Kenyon fe.lt the hojielenancHS of his project, quite iv: much as Wentworth had dmie, and, thrusting his hands deep into hi . pockctn, he wanderc<l dis consolately uj, and down the deck. AH In; went to the other side of the deck lie met Mias bongwort.li walking alone. She, smiled a cordial welcome. to him, so he turned and changed his step to suit her. "May I walk with you a few min utes?" he itald. "Certainly," was the. reply. "What is the matter? You are looking very unhappy."

In the presidential campaign of lsss he served as chairman of n committee appointed to promote the He publican cause, which aided materially in the successful outcome of that canvass. When General Harrison entered the Presi dential office in Marca, 1889, he tendered Mr. Wanamaker a seat in the cabinet as postmaster general, a position for which he was pre-eminently qualified by his long busine-s training. He introduced into the department the business methods which hud been so successful iu his pri vate life, ami .i .i ier his management the p<>nt.il « i-vic.- il the country acquired an unprecedented degree of efficiency. Mr. Wanamaker entered, with his accustomed activity, upon the presidential campaign of 1K1»> mute a tour of Pennsylvania extending through twenty-four counties, ami at every one of the many meetings which he addressed he brought home to his hearers th" vital issues of the hour, especially as seen from the business man's siainipoint (iroat numlwrs of people flocked to the meetings at which he was announced to s[<eak, and his face Iwcatno familiar to ten of thousands of our citi zens to whom his name and reputution hud alone been previously known.

WANAMAKER AT HOME Ilia Candidacy a. Viewed by (he News papers of Ills Own City, The campaign in the interestof the Hon. John Wanamaker,as the successor to Sena tor Cameron has assumed such propor tions that It must be viewed with real in terest. So far he is the only avowed can didate representing a fixed and definite principle. There may !>e many aspirants, but in the strict sense of the word there Is but one candidate. It Is Instructive, therefore, to know how his candidacy is viewed in his own home, and un adequate idea of this tuny lie gained from the following editorial com ments of the Philadelphia newspajiers: In the Front Kank. There is but one opinion amongst the l>eople of this state concerning the succes sion to Senator Cameron. The vacancy In the upjier branch of congress, which will occur on March 4 next, should lie filled by the selection of a representative citizen of the highest character and attainments; one who possesses In the largest posslbio degree the res[i*ot and confidence of the whole commonwealth; who Is especially filled, through ability and knowledge of ufTalrs, for efficient public service in an ln fluential legislative body; who Is free from all obligations to factionalism of any sort, and who will have but one purpose throughout his term—namely, to perform the tusk assigned htm with 7,eal, fidelity and acceptability. * * * Every one knows that us senator John Wanamuker would lie in the front rank at theoutstart.
