The fact ts, as Mr. Piles states, “that the salary of a United States senator is not sufficient to maintain a man of family in the nation’s capital, and Mr. Piles, in returning to hie law practice in this city, Is doing nothing more than seores of other distingulsh- ei members of the highest Iswmaking body fn the Innd. Tt is, of course, nothing more than professional jealousy which has prompted fellow attorneys to insinuate that Mr. Piles is using Official influence to help win cases, But is it not true that, however sincerely Mr. Piles may try to separate himself from his senatorial garti while acting as an at- torney, the fact that he occupies such an exalted position will be Bound to influence, perhaps unconsciously, public officiale or a gury? That unserupulous men have sought public positions, even as exalted as the one Mr. Piles now occupies, for the express purpose of using their official influence to build up a high-paying corpore- tion practice there fs no dowbt. And fs it not true that even if @ senator's character be above reproach and his honor unimpeach- able the fact that he is on the payroll of large corporations is bound to influence him, unconsciously, perhaps, In favor of special interests? And, in a broad sense, fs not Senator Piles perilously close to the precipice? How, for tmstance, would the fact that he is at- torney for a local packing house influence him in @ senatorial im- Vestigation of the beef trust? How does the fact that he fs the senior member of the law firm of Piles, Donworth, Howe & Farrell, which handles the legal business of the Seattle Electric company, the Pacific Coast company and other carporations affect him? That Mr. Piles should appear before the council as an attorney for a corporation {fs all right, judged by senatorial standards. But should he go just one step farther and appear before a department of the federal government in behalf af that corporation he would be committing the crime for which Senator Mitchell, of Oregons, ‘was indicted. tn the humble judgment of The Star, Mr. Pilea has given prom- ise of doing more for our state than any man who has preceded him. Mr. Piles has many virtues to commend him that others have not had, and for that reason it is not the purpose of The Star to in- timate that Mr. Piles bas not a full right to resent the insinuations made against him. At the time of his election he wiped off corporation taint so far as the Pacific Coast company was concerned by turning over such business as he had in hand for this corporation to the other mem- bers of his firm, resigning bis position aa general counsel for the corporation. At Washington, so far as opportunities have been afforded, he has acquitted himself with honor to himself and to his state. Let us, therefore, rather lament the “penny wise-pound fool- ish” policy of our government which pays its lawmakers such @ miserable incompetence that they must have incomes from private sources or starve, Even senators should not be exposed to corrupting corpora- tiom influence. —_—_—_ Here are some more interesting dates for Star raeders: May 4—The Star published the first pictures of the Chicago strike printed in any Seattle paper.

THUS I CAME FACE TO FACE W fore I could get the wretched dip to burn, but at last it flamed. There, acros the covertid, lay Clarisse, still as marble, her eyes closed, ber face pale as death, and beautiful as an angel, For a dread- ful moment! thought her really dead, and my heart stood still, But goon she moved and gave a little |moan. I sprang towards her and | covered her with frantic kisses, bit- |terly cursing myself and imploring her to speak to me. Ah, what a | brute I felt! And she recovering at last, glanced up at me with a tender | smile. “Oh, say you are not hurt,” I | muttered, weak tears running down my cheeks. “Ah, God! to think that | 1 have struck you.” But the woman shone out in | Clarinse then as never before, who | was most often the child. She took my head in her hands as knelt be- side her, quite overcome, and she | kiaged me on the forehead. “Yea, a ," she whispered, “you hurt me, it pains mea little yet, but I love | the pain since you have caused it.” Then she laughed merrily, “Did you think me a robber?" I should have known it was you,” I groaned. “I could not sleep without your kiss,” she muttered reproachfully Oh, monaieur, you were asleep,” “You wero very unkind to me, dear,” I said, something of my an- ger returning, but she stopped me with a kiss, “It was you who was wrong,” she sald. “You ordered me when you should have eutreated; you threat ened me when you should have tm- plored. Am I not 2 woman?” “Then, Clartese,” | cried, “I en- treat you now; for God's sake, dear, never make me jealous again, it was torture. She puckered op her brows in a little frown. “I’m not sure I don’t like being ordered best.” “Then,” gaid I, “go back to your bed this instant or you'll eatch your death of cold.” “It's lonely in there,” she mat- tered rebelliously as she departed; but I heard her moving about in her room, and at last I cried out curtousl “whatever you doing, Clarisse?” “I'm getting dressed for the morning.” “Oh!” e | Presently the door opened a lit tle and she said, “Caryl, I'm quite dressed now “Well, de: to sleep?" “Are you very sleepy, Caryl?” “No, dear, I'm not.’ “Because | can’t catch cold when. proved to be a tailor, I'm quite dressed, .can 1, mons— Copyright by the R.

As yet «I had not thought fit to disclose to her more than a small part of my intentions, and abe came to marvel at my cheerfulness and to plan in her childish way all manner of ex pedients whereby, as Boon as pos- sible, | might escape France and re turn to England, | scarce matter a thought, bein, tent—like @ proper gambler—to en Joy the good of each day and not go out of my way to borrow trouble from the morrow. In any case I had no intention of quitting France without the maid I had grown to love. I swore to that, but I did not tell her so. We arrived at &t. Cloud about 1 o'clock in the forenoon. Savary, master of the household, attired in a brilliant court uniform, strode |down the steps, and openin, | carmage coor himself asmated Clar- isso to alight. Everywhere exetted i expectant faces peered at us, nd we could judge how much im- portance the emperor must attach to our visit from the manner of his servants.

All the women stared at} Clarisse as ff stricken dumb and Jealous by her beauty, as indeed! they might well have been, for there Was scarce a pretty face among the crowd. Then quite @ hum, resembling the buzzing of a swarm of bees, broke loose, but the empress came towards us with| graceful, gliding steps. “Welcome, thrice welcome to France!" she eried, and taking Clarinse in hej arma lightly kissed her on bot cheeks.

The costume was simp iy magnificent, but it was designed | less to adorn than to display, so I was delighted to find that I ap peared even superior to the cos tume, My coat was of fine white altk, richly embroidered with gold and real jewels; my doublet and knickers were of dassling satin; my stockings of gleaming pearl; my shoes black, high heeled and golden buckled. I had never be- held myself so completely attired to my own satisfaction, and without vanity I declare that I looked a prince from crown to sole. The knowledge gave me confidence, and I followed Roustan, feeling proud and insolent, although about to | meet and be subjected to the ertth cinm of the keenest eyes and brightest intellect this world has ever produced At the door of the emperor's ante-room, which was filled with half a score of gentlemen attired |similarly to myself, some of whom I recognized from fanciful descrip tions of thetr persons which had | trickled into England, I was met by & young gentieman who hastily in- troduced himeelf. “I am the Comte do Segur, prince,” be whispered, “and de lighted to welcome you to France, but his majesty awaits you.” The young count possessed a pair of bright and exceedingly intelligent eyes, and while not strictly hand- some, was of such @ frank counten. ance and taking manners that I conceived an ins fancy for him. I followed him to the door of an tn ner chamber, which he opened, and after announcing my name in a low Yolce, made way for me to pass and instantly closed the door behind me. Thus I came face to face with Na poleon Bonaparte, one time Corsi can noble, later a Heutenant of ar tillery, now master of half Barope and the most powerful man in the civilized world. He was quite alone, He was at tired in that dress which he always affected, and which has become so notorious as to be unnecessary for me to describe. I noted in a fana that he was short and somewhat pot-bellied. Then! met his eyes and was instantly lost to all cise. Men have told me that Nopoleon Was slightly bald, that his nose was shapely and straight, bis chin pre- dominant. It may be so, I believe, but npot distinctly remember any of these things, for always my powers of observation have stopped short at his eyes. A smile softened the tron hardness of his face, and presently he spoke out in a merry, frank fashion which quite won my regard. “Diantre'” he cried, “they told me you were a conspirator, a man of mature years, of wonderful cun- ning and cowardice! What age are you, ladt* 1 remembered that Darras was jan older man than I and I replied Forty-four, sire.” He advanced and put his hand upon my shoulder. o much! Come,” he satd, “take that chair, | forsee that we shall be friends.” He himself took and sat astride a chair before me, his strange eyes always fastened on my face, 1 ad- mit, I grew, with the passing of each moment, to like him more and more, but I remembered my role, and that I must appear reserved and stiff. You are very good, sire,” I mut- tered coldly. He frowned, “I hope your apart ments are comfortable,” he said, in # different and harsher voice than he had yet used. ‘Quite, sire,” stiffly. So! And nothing was amiss in your reception ?” Nothing sire,” still more stiffly. He rose abruptly. “Diantre! what ails you, man?” he cried in a }eudden rage. “Is It the question of your sister? The crown prince ts on his way here. He will arrive to- morrow, the marriage will take place the day after. What more can I do?” His eyes fairly shot fire at me Such an extraordinary change to take place in a second of time quite astonished me; the emperor's os regarded me with aM the menace of drawn swords. It my plan to arouse Napoleon's en mity, and yet that he was very an ary was quite certain. I afterwards learned that nothing excited him so much as opposition; he hated not to conquer at once, Delay of any kind was odious to his nature.
