aa FALSELY SX CONDEMNED ; BUR) emus Mrs. E. Bagot Harte. CHAPTER XXI.—(Continued). ‘I know he loves me—I know he ” thought Audrey to herself. “I vill write to him—no, I will go to see him. Is it too late now?” Quickly her atch was brought out and consulted. “Yes, too late, alas! I hope, indeed, that by to-morrow he will not have left England. If—” ji “Audrey! Audrey!” called Miss Ell- ingham, in a gentle voice of reproof. “Where are you, dear? You ought to be resting.” “I am here, Aunt Marian, in the din- ing room,” was the reply. “The re- prieve has not been granted.” “Oh, surely, dear, you are not trou- bling yourself about that wicked man. Forget him and every one connected with him.” There was no answer. Audrey sprang to her feet and hurried up to sr room. A few minutes later she sent her aunt word by one of the servants that she felt herself unequal to any further exertions that day. But on the morrow she was the first to get up and the first to appear at the breakfast table. Very little did she at—searcely anything, and the de- ption that the parlor maid gave of her harassed appearance caused the cook to regret her loquacity of the day before Without waiting to see her aunt, without giving any information regard- ing her movements, Audrey left the house and walked to the station. “Doesn’t look strong enough to go anywhere alone,” said the cook, in a distressed voice. But as she walked into the inner room of Reggie’s chambers, half an hour later, he exclaimed in a voice of infinitely greater distress: “You, Au- drey! And how ill you look!” Oh, Reggie, I have come to tell you how zrieved I am at your unhappiness and all your trouble. I cannot believe that what they tell me about Guy is true—is it?” “Yes; would to heaven it were not.” In a voice choking with emotion he spoke to the girl he loved, and very tenderly he clasped her hand. “And you, darling—oh, forgive me, that word of endearment slipped out inad- yertantly. But how ill you look!” es, and I feel ill. Shall I tell you what alone will make me feel better?” Her hands were on his shoulder now and her face was raised to his. “Yes,” he said, fearful to hear her next words, but craving to know that she still loved him. “For you to call me ‘darling’ again, and—and—” she hesitated, then lov- ingly and shyly kissed him. His face was no longer pale. Color rushed into his cheeks, joy into his € s—both to die away the next mo- Sadly and solemnly he shook his head. “You are as exquisitely dear to me to-day, Audrey, as you ever were, perhaps dearer, if possible! But the intensity of my love for you pre- vents my being so cruel to you as— as— Does it not prevent your breaking y heart?” she interrupted, in a quiv- ering voice. “Reggie, listen to me. When you wrote that unkind letter 1 knew it was some honorable reason: that ranked as all powerful in your »yes which was separating us. Now 1 know what that reason is and I de- cline to let it separate us. Reggie, I emphatically refuse to release you from your engagement to me.” Again he shook his head. “It can- not be. It cannot be,” he said, gently and lovingly. “I will not let one so precious share the dark cloud that must forever kang over my life.” “But it requires two to break off an engagement, and I absolutely re- fuse to break off mine. To condemn me to pass my life in solitary misery is not acting as a man who loves a girl should act.” Again she kissed him. ment. “Tell me, Reggie,’ she continued, slowly and persuasively, “have you never thought of me during these weeks of terrible anxiety? Have I been wholl absent from your troubled mind?” “Absent? Good heavens, no! You have been nearly always present. Yet I have striven to forget you, because to think of you was to treble my own unhappiness, and to treble my resent- ment to Guy and to make it tenfold more difficult to act with forgiving generosity to him. You don’t know how greatly I still love you.” Now Reggie’s arms were round her and he was straining her to his breast. “What would I not give to have the right to call you wife? But no, darling, that right is forever denied me—denied by the unwritten law which demands that all mer should screen the women they love from sorrow. Too well do I know that, morally speaking, every -one’s hand will be against me; and if you were my wife it would be against you, too. I shall soon learn to accept my altered position. Insults. directed against myself shall always fall short of the mark, but directed against you they would madden and exasperate me. I tremble to think of the conse- quences. No, Audrey, a lonely path in life must be mine forever.” She thought for a moment—thought with her eyes resting on his averted face. “And mine will be very, very lonely, too,” she said, in a husky whisper, “if I allow the engagement to be broken off. Reggie, I don’t care in the slight- est degree for the adverse opinion of the world. After all, what is it worth? In return for the disbursement of a handful of gold, seven persons out of every ten become at once your friends. And what measure of happiness would be mine if I knew you were hundreds of miles away from me, and suffering bitter pangs of loneliness? No, I will not be separated for ever and ever from you. Love binds our lives to- gether.” “For heaven’s sake, Audrey, don’t tempt me to give in. Don’t you know what it has cost me to break off the engagement? Cruel to relate, it was only a few minutes after you had ac- cepted me that I chanced to find the very knife with which the crime was committed.” “That explains why our engagement was so brief. But, Reggie, not a word that you have said, not a word that you can ever say, will break down my determination to remain engaged to you. Who is there that will sympa- thize with you like I can when that terrible day in your life—to-day week —comes? Yesterday, when I read that, there was to be no reprieve, [ vowed to myself that on that terrible day I would be at your side to comfort you.” “Oh, don’t, Audrey—don’t, for pity’s sake, don’t! Leave me to face alone my ghastly and lonely misery. My quitting England is all arranged. I sail for South America on the eleventh. Good-bye, darling!” As he said the last word he clasped her to him with frantic strength. CHAPTER Xxil. “Audrey, going out a second time to- day,” exclaimed Miss Ellingham. “Yes, on most particular business,” In a tired yet determined voice it was said. “And of what does this business con- sist?” “It would take too long to explain now, Aunt Marian. I will tell you lat- er.” It was a wise decision. To have told Miss Ellingham that her niece abso- lutely contemplated taking her berth on board a ship bound to South Amer- ica, in order to follow and marry the man to whom she was engaged, would have shortened Miss Ellingham’s life. But it was the case. Audrey had de- cided to be a passenger on board the Boston, the mail steamer sailing for South America on the 11th. “For whom else have I to live, save Reggie?” She had asked herself the question many times during the last three hours, always to receive the same answer, “No one.” And he, too, had “no one” else to live for but her, and he loved and adored her still. By drifting apart they were simply condemning each other to unrappiness. And why should they not be happy? Why should she —Audrey—not give to the world an- other example of woman’s heroic devo- tion? Fortunately, to no one was she answerable for her actions. She was twenty-one years of age, and had two hundred pounds in cash at her bank- er’s, and thirty pounds a year as an income. True, it was very little, but it would suffice to pay her passage and buy her outfit. She would not accept defeat! She would plan and maneuver until Reg- gie’s honorable determination to break off the engagement was overcome. If by some miracle she could accom- plish the feat of being actually his wife before the terrible day of Guy’s execution, how relieved she would be. Well could she realize the unspeakable mental agonies of the man she loved as the moment of his brother’s ghastly death approached and passed. A spec- tator in imagination, he would follow every incident of the awful ordeal with vivid accuracy. The tension over, into what depths of despondency and misery would he not fling himself as in solitude and loneliness he lived through the awful hours and days to follow? As her thoughts coursed on_ thus, she was momentarily approaching the office of the South American Steam- ship company. Entering it, she in- quired if there remained any vacant berths on board the Boston. “Yes; a lady has just asked us to re- sell her ticket, if possible,” was the reply. “She herself is prevented from going.” Without hesitation Audrey became the new possessor of the ticket, and was in the act of writing a check for the necessary sum. “It’s a leap in the dark,” she said to herself, as she filled in the figures. For the moment she felt awed at the courage of this “leap in the dark.” “Audrey.” Her name.was whispered in an as- tonished voice by some one who hap- pened to enter at this very moment, and the possessor of that astonished voice was Reggie. “What has brought you here?” he asked. “My decision to sail in the Boston, which leaves on the eleventh.” He gazed at her in unbelieving as- tonishment. “You mean it, Audrey?” he gasped. “Yes; and my berth is taken ant paid for. All is arranged. But will you walk to the Temple Station with me? I wish to talk the matter over with you.” No answer; but he placed himself at her side, and together they quitted the office and, entering the busy Strand, made their way towards the temple. The momeat for talking had not come. “Will you return home to Aunt Ma- rian’s with me?” asked Audrey, after a few minutes, speaking as one who is commencing to feel sure of her ground. “Yes,” was the brief reply. They chose a compartment to them- selves. Bota knew that the all-impor- tant moments in their lives were at hand, and that the guiding star of those moments must be their love. On the strength of their love all rested, and neither doubted that strength. “It’s quite useless trying to act in opposition to a determined woman, is it not, Reggie?” said Audrey, with a smile, as she nestled up to him. “I am beginning to think that that must be the case,” he answered, smil- ing, too. “Ah, now you are beginning to take a sensible view of matters. I see the fact written on your face. After all, I am a very lovable individual, am I not?” “Yes, you certainly are.” “And—and— But, Reggie, I cannot allow you to leave me all the love- making to do.” “It would not be fair, would it?” he agreed, in a happy voice. And acting in accordance with those words, he drew her towards him, and, leaning down, kissed her, and that kiss spoke of a joyous sense of posses- sion. “Then we are—”’ she began, and then stopped. “Yes, we are engaged,” he said, fin- ishing the sentence for her, and pro- ceeding to kiss her again. “That is, unless, after mature consideration, you realize that the greatness of the sac- rifice it will entail is more than you can face—then, Audrey, one word from you and all will be over between us.” “That word will never be said, Reg- gie. “But have you realied that your people will most strongly oppose our them a chance. I intend to be mar- ried secretly, and—’ Here she hesi- tated for a moment, then added quick- ly, ‘before the tenth.” With the word “tenth” there surged back into Reggie’s mind thoughts of all that still remained to be faced and endured. But the sharpness of the attendant pain was less cruel with Au- drey’s hand resting on his. After all, this wrecking of the fam- ily honor was not his work. Once his brother’s execution was over, then the name of Erskine would fade into the background of public notice. Months would soon grow into years, and in the course of time the Arlington tragedy would be almost forgotten. Before the train drew up at Hamp- stead Station all was settled—the hour, the church, and the day when he and Audrey would become man and wife. : “And during the five intervening days joy and sadness moved side by side in Reggie’s mind. Sometimes it was Audrey, her love and her devotion that was uppermost, and sometimes the condemned man’s calm, white face. “I should like to say good-bye to you,” the latter wrote. “Will you come to see me the day before the end?” (To Be Continued.) SAFEST SEAT IN THE TRAIN. How to Travel With the Least Possi- bility of Accident. Timid persons shun the last car, at least for a week or so after reading about some deadly “rear-end” acci- dent; and the first car for fear of a “head-on” collision. They practice the old maxim, “in the middle you will go safest,” and stick to the middle of the train. A “scientific gent” has just demonstrated, after much brow- furrowing parade, that a seat in the middle of the last car but one is the safest. Thus does science verify, with great parade, the conclusions of the non-learned. Accidents are so di- verse and eccentric, however, that the stoical traveler puts more trust in his accident policy than in any doctrine of probabilities. At last the railroad companies are condescending to build steel cars. Human life ought to lengthen as a consequence. It has not escaped cynical observation that the voyager in a Pullman is usually safer than the common herd.—Everybody's.

Resume of the Week’s Proceedings. Washington, Jan. 25. — When the smoke of the liyeliest legislative bat- tle of the session had cleared up fn the house yesterday, Speaker Cannon dnd his organization were in complete control and the joint statehood pro- gram of the administration had been adopted. Forty-three Republican “insur- gents” went down to defeat, having voted vainly with the Democrats to gain control of the rule, the terms of which are to govern the statehood bill in its passage through the house. The vote ordering the previous ques- tion on the rule was 192 ayes and 165 nays. This clearly defeated the op- position, the full strength of which was polled, and little interest was taken on the vote for the adoption of the rule, which immediately followed and was carried by a majority of 30. The rule adopted provided that the bill granting statehood to Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, as “Okla- homa,” and Arizona and New Mexico as “Arizona” should be debated until 3 o'clock to-day and then voted or without opportunity for amendment. The house adjourned at 5:30 o’clock, after agreeing to meet at 11 o'clock to-day. ‘ Mr. Lodge yesterday presented in the senate his views on the policy of the administration in the matter of the Algeciras conference over Moroc- co and also with reference to Santo Domingo. He defended the course of the president in both instances. Mr. Teller made a brief speech in support of the senate’s prerogatives in treatymaking. Washington, Jan. 26. — The house passed the statehood Dill, according to schedule, yesterday. The Repub- lican opposition to the measure spent its entire force Wednesday and no ef- fort was made to defeat the bill on its final psssage, but thirty-three of the “insurgents” voting against the meas- The bill passed by the vote of 194 to 150. The debate which preceded this vote began at 11 o’clock and was practically featureless so far as any hope was entertained of changing the measure in the slightest degree. The bill as passed provides that Oklahoma and the Indian Territory shall constitute one state under the name of “Oklahoma,” and that Ari- zona and New Mexico shall consti- tute one state under the name of “Arizona.” Should the terms of ad- mission be ratified by the residents of the territories in question, their respective state constitutions must con*’ain clauses prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors and _ plural marriages. The constitution of Arizona must prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians forever and that of Oklahoma for twenty-five years. There many other stipulations gov- erning schools, courts and political subdivisions of the proposed new states. The foreign affairs of the United States continued yesterday to hold the attention of the senate, the Mo- reccan and Dominican matters being the questions immediately at issue. Mr. Money was the principal speaker, and he talked for over two hours in opposition to the. course of -the ad- ministration with reference to both Santo Domingo and Morocco. Mr. Heyburn spoke in support of the annexation of Santo Domingo. Washington, Jan. 27.—The first at- tempt at filibustering at this session vecurred in the house yesterday in a Democratic endeavor to defeat the provision of the urgent deficiency bill waiving the eight-hour law for foreign laborers on the Panama canal. The amendment was placed in the bill in committee of the whole after the house had divided many times on every pretext which Minority Leader Williams could make the cause of a vote. When the bill to which the amendment was proposed was finally finished, late in the day, a demand for a separate vote and: roll call on that amendment was made and ordered, at which time the house adjourned. The vote will occur as the first business to- day. Washington, Jan. 29—In a session of two hours Saturday the house passed the urgent deficiency appropri- ation bill, carrying - $15,216,103, in- corporated in which is a provision that the eight-hour law shall not apply to alien laborers on the Panama canal. In addition it passed 262 private pen- sion bills and read the Mann general bridge bill, making it the unfinished business for to-day. A roll call was demanded by the Democratic side on the eight-hour amendment. Its adoption was by a vote of 120 to 108. Nineteen Repub- licans voted with the Democrats and one Democrat, DeArmond (Mo.), with the majority. Washington, Jan. 30.—What is con- sidered a strike at the railroads was taken by the house yesterday in the H adoption of a resolution calling on the president to furnish information as ta the existence of an alleged agreement, in violation of the interstate com- merce law, between the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk & West- ern, Chesapeake & Ohio, Northern Central & Philadelphia and Baltimore & Washington Railroad companies. A tribute was paid to Gen. Wheeler by naming a street in Washington © “Wheeler” street. ‘In Minnesota Ne x State News of the ase Week Briefly Told | Judge John H.

At the last meeting of the board of education ot Preston, Supt. Lurton was re-elected for a term of two years, with increased salary, by a unanimous vote of the board. This is his third term. 3! Sophie Stromstad of Lockhart, while bending down beside the stove, caught her sleeve in a teakettle of boiling wa- ter. The contents were discharged over her arm and breast. There is a chance for her recovery. Mrs. Emma Fuller, wife of Joseph B. Fuller of St. Paul, was found dead, suspended from a gas pipe, in the bath room of her home. Mrs. Fuller, it is said, had been suffering from melan- cholia for three months. C. G. Peterson, a farmer and dairy- man living a mile from Rosemount, was seriously injured about his head and his right arm was broken through contact with the belt on a gasoline en- gine while he was operating a feed mill. It is reported that the Edward Hines lumber company during the last week sold 35,000,000 feet of lum- ber to be sawed at Ashland and Su- perior, and a Duluth broker has sold 10,000,000 feet to a Saginaw firm. The prices of lumber range from $2.50 to $3 a thousand higher than a year ago. Richmond, George Schlenner of Stearns county, was found dead in the |sov livery barn of Hoffman & Molitor at St. Cloud. The body was stretched out at full length in the stall and had been badly battered by the hoofs of the horses. There was no evidence of foul play. Schlenner was forty-six years of age and was recently divorced from his wife. Mrs. Mary Taylor, aged seventy- four years, is dead in Spring Valley of paralysis. Her husband, John A. Tay- lor, a veteran of the Civil war, died about twenty years ago. Fourteen children were born to them, of whom five are now living. She is survived by fifty grandchildren, sixteen great- grandchildren and one brother. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor came to this place in 1866. St. Cloud revenue officials recently seized a shipment of Porto Rican ci- gars which had been placed on sale by local dealers. The revenue officers allege that these cigars were without the proper factory stamp. The deal- ers claimed that this was unnecessary, but nevertheless the seizure was made. Now the cigars have been re- turned, the state revenue collector holding that the dealers were right and that no factory stamp is necessary for cigars made in Porto Rico. The special school meeting held at Albert Lea that authorized the board of education to borrow money for a short time and pay $10,000 of the bond- ed indebtedness of the district, preves to have been illegally called, »nd the persons who weve to have furnished the money do not care to take ‘the risk. Taxes have been levied to pay part of the indebtedness, and the dis- trict did not care to have the bonds reL.ewed for another term of years. It is expected, however, that the rioney will be secured and the bond paid. The state farmers’ institute was held in Owatonna and never in the history of the meetings has the ai- tendance been so great. It was esti- mated that between 300 and 400 farm- ers from this vicinity attended the sessions. The principal lecture was given by W. W. P. McConnell on the care of stock and results of good feeding, and he was seconded by Pres- ident L. A. Sweet of Fairmont, Minn., of the Dairymen’s association. Mc- Connell had extensive charts and fre- quently referred to them. A business change of importance to Red Wing and other cities through- out the Northwest was brought about recently by the transfer of the lum- ber business of the Charles Betcher company to other local and outside persons. Of the ten yards owned and heretofore conducted by this company, the business at Red Wing and Cannon Falls has been purchased and will be operated by Ballard, Tremble & Co. of Minneapolis. The McMullen Lum- ber company of the same city takes the yards at Wanamigo and Monte- video, while the North Star Lumber company has bought the yards at Goodhue, Pine Island, Douglass, Glen- coe and Appleton. The business now transferred was established in 1859. The report published recently that } Fritz Christiansen had been indicted by the grand jury with a man named George Cornell in connection with op- | erations of stock thieves in Martin and - adjoining counties, is an error, and does injustice to a well known and re- | spected farmer of Fairmont. Instead of Mr. Christiansen being indicted, he was the victim of the depredations of the thieves. Cornell pleaded guilty last Week and was sentenced to a long term in Stillwater. Mr. Christiansen is one of the wealthiest farmers in this section. f | Whose Say-so is Best?

What is the beginning of sickness? A. Constipation. 2 What is Constipation? . Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the entary canal where it decays and poisons the en- tire system. Eventually the results are death under the name of some other dis- ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trouble at the present time. g What causes Constipation? . Neglect to respond to the call of na- ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Exces- sive brain work. Mental emotion and im- proper diet. Q. What are the results of neglected Constipation? A. Constipation causes more suffering than any other disease, It causes rheu- matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss of sleep and strength are its symptoms—piles, pappendicitis and fistula, are caused by Constipation. Its consequences are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it is too late. Women become confirmed invalids as a result of Constipation. re Do physicians recognize this? . Yes. The first question your doctor asks you is “are you constipated?” That is the secret. . Can it be cured? i Yes, with proper treatment. The common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castoroil, in- jections, etc., every one of which is in- jurious. They weaken and increase tha malady. You know this by your own ex- perience. Q. What then should be done to cure it? A.
