The little dog Florio lay coiled up
at her feet
The heap of rose-tinted draperies'
marked the boundary between childish
neglect and the cares of coquettish
maidenhood. She had eouxed her
grandfather to give her fresh attire
for the springtime, and the old man
had abruptly refused the request. In-
dignant and rebellious, Dolores had
taken a gold chain belonging to
® he:® mother, to the Monte di
Pieta, pawned the trinket and returned
home in triumph, with the purchase if
her arms. When would she wear it?
On the first occasion. .lacob Dealtry
made no comiueut, if lie noticed it at
all.
Now the girl was astonished and
amused by her own recklessness in the
bold step taken. *
She gltfnced about her where all was
0 unchanged, ud onl) she seemed to be
undergoing some subtle modification
of growth. 0 #
The fountain, with the worn urn,
and basin of weather-stained marble
filled with greenish water, was one of
the earliest recollections of her child-
hood.
A clump of canes grew on the brink
and a straggling aquatic plant spread
broad leaves on the surface of the
water. 0
Nespoli and oleand^. Judas, pepper,
pomegranate and fig trees formed a
patch of shade along the boundary. A
castor-oil plant throve below a broken
wall, set with a border of bristling
eani Yellow sj^ays of euphorbia and
mimosa mingled w ith j, ssnmine ami
myrtle. All about thf girl bloomed
rqpes, geraniums and pea blossoms,
pink, white and purple, star-like
flowers of vivid color amid the
green. A solitary cypress true tow-
ered in a slender shaft above the wall,
and a family of white pigeons now cir-
cled in flight above the parapet, and

and had never been replaced, either
from sorrow at his loss on the part of
his attached master, or because .lacob
Dealtry realised he possessed nothing
o to guard.
The garden was a neglected spot
where the tangled growth of shrub
and flower had acquired a certain pic-
turesque charm of untramineled
bloom and fragrance. .lacob
Dealtry was his own gardener
as well as housekeeper; and
while ho watered the trees and plants
likely to perish of drouth, he would
suffer no pruning nor weeding on his
premises
"Let the flowers have their own
way,' he. would reason querulously,
as hs pottered about with a copper
vessel of w ater to# it fresh parched
roots.
Dolores had strict injunctions to at-
ers. built under the rule of Martin do
ttedin to guard t be ooaat from 1 be
sudden invasion of the Turks, and
now serving as signal and telegraphic
stations, did not resemble the beacon
tenanted by the Deal tries, with its un-
'flnislq-d turret41 nd dilapidated mason-
ry. Wind, sun and storm had swept
over a ml ravaged both trees and habi-
tation.
Life ha)l been a kaleidoscope to
Dolores, confposed of bits of gay color,
puz/.ling patterns and vanishing
shapes. (Grandfather made few expla-
nations of any sort to her lively, child-
ish intelligence, and tolerate^ her
presence beneath his roof nt*the best
An old neighbor came at stated inter-
vals to sweep and garnish the nari
interior of the tower and spread
household linen to dry in the sun, but
Dolores was not expected to assist
her in any way. Jacob Deal try's pro-
hibition ^f all manifestations of femi-
nine industry on the part of his grand-
child seemed to arise from a distrust
of ffer capacity. r
"Do not touch anything," ho would
say; "you will only break and drop
my glass."
"I have never broken a glass, grand-
papa," protested Dolores, with tears
of vexation rising to her dark eyes.
Then Jacob Dealtry shook his head.
Before floating bits of straw on the
basin of the fountain—a tiny squad-
ron speedily wrecked by a gold ti li-
the girl's recollections were vague,
consisting of perpetual comings ami
goings, in a fruitless fashion; of
glimpses pf foreign tfwns, and Of
Jong, wearisome voyages on board of

parently her father, who had caressed
her ami oft, 11 carried her about on his
shoulder. She remembered a pretty
mother, with a black lace mantilla
over her head, and the fan, whbh she
still treasured in a painted box. A
nurse named Pepita, with a dark and
smiling face, who wore big gold ear-
rings that swung in the suushine to
attract baby fingers, was a fainter
image. The mother hud dwelt here at
Malta for some years, and in dying
had commented her child to the care
of the nuns, who had imparted such
instruction us she had ever received.
The father and the nurse, Pepita, had
vanished altogether and never re-
turned.
Jacob Dealtry had tolerated the
presence of the mother and child with
an unsympathetic resignation. Left
alone, us an orphan, Dolores was made
to understand that the bread of pov-
erty would be her portion. Poverty
did not dismay her. ^1# was not op-
pressed by*loneliness, because she was
unused to companionship. She had all
the lightheadedness of the Andalu
sian. amounting to sheer |tfdlBMiat
times, and a heartSfull of enthusiasm,
as yet untainted by latent possibilities
of cruelty and revenge. She loved the
gnarled trees of the garden and the
pigeons She wove her own fancies
abefttthesea visible iu the distance,
ami whispsredfcabblin • secrets to the
flowers, until her grandfather gave
her the little dog Florio, obtained by
him in exchange for a mural tablet
and a cinerary urn.
"You must allow*the dog to sleep
in the hall, child," said the old man.
"These small dogs awaken and bark
at the slightest noise. Florio will
guard the house. "• •
"We art#too poor to tempt thieve-,,
retorted Dolores, laughing, aud receiv-
ing the pet in her arms.
"That is# true," assented Jacob
Dealtry. "Still I would like
to know # if one of those
loungers of the port were prowling
about at night. They are a rascally
lot, and do not stick at trifles."
Dolores did not love her grand
father; she even feared his irasciblc
mood, although he had never treated
her with positive cruelty. She would
have liked to gossip with him by th<
hour, to alternately caress and teas-
him as she dM the dog Floi it he
lent only an abstracted attention to
Jier words.
On t wo occasious she had seriously
angered him. Dolores still trembled,
when awakened at night by the rever
beratlfig thunder and piercing flashes'
of lightning of a storm,as the recollec-
tion of her grandfather's face, white,
convulsed by passion, the eyes glaring
wrathfully, and the very hair bristling
on his head, rose suddenly before her
mental vision.
The* old neighbor, kind of heart
and garrulous of tongue,hud helped to
shape aud dress a primitive doll, suc-
cessor of the broken toys of infancy.
The child had lavished on this un-
responsive fetish all the stores of ten-
derness in her nature, until tho futal
day when Dolly, temporarily neglected
fell from the window ledge and
lay on the ground hopelessly
dismembered in every limb. Dolores
wept, gathered up the fragments, and
with the aid of a rusty knife, proceeded
to dig a grave under the clump of canes

Several years ago. Dolores had again
incurred her grandfather** wrath, in a
similar fashion. She had returned
from the convent, and possibly ob-
jects huh sin- had nevef before
noticed in their dilapidated abode ac-'
quired a fresh interest in her eves,
even after a temporary absence. Cer-
tainly she had never given special
heed to the Knight, and yet he had
always been there. The sunshine
slanted in the door, putting to flight
the shadows, and Dolores paused for
tfce first time before the picture.
"Who is he?" she demanded, won-
deringly. „
"A Knight of Malta, child," replied
her grandfather, hurriedly.
The portrait bore evidence j f age.
The surface was cracked, the painting
faded, and yet it w*s encased in a
heavy frame of carved wood. A
knightly form, waa dimly discernible
through the clouding obscurity of dust
and mildew. lie wore a black cloak,
with a cowl attached. A white cross,
with the eight points corresponding
with eight beatitudes, was visible
on his left side. A second cross
decorated his breast, from which de-
pended the cords of black and white
silk, indicating his rank as Knight of
the (ireat Cross; having lived for ten
ears at Malta, and performed four
aravans at sea in tho galley of the
irder. On the framg the line® were
carved—
"Great Master of Jortis'lein's Hospital,
From whence t Rhodes rtiia L est frater-
nity
Was driven, but now among the Maltese
stands."
A wooden chair, on which Jacob
Jealtry usually sat, massive, angular,
and with a high-wrought cback, was
placed below the picture and fastened
to the wall.
The Kuight attracted Dolores. He
aemed to smile down upon her from
his frame as guardian of the house.

rush to the bear's corner, striking him

the attack with one snap and an angry
snarl, Ramadan again made tracks for
the opposite side of the cage, only to
be followed by Panthera, who this
this time received some sharp clawing
about the head. But the bear, biting
at random, caught his antagonist by
one of his liorift, which not only result-
ed in his being thrown softie distance
into the ring, but caused a serious
wound in his mouth, which bled pro-

bull made some rapid tushes In the pit.
The bear failed to put up any kind of

tempts were then very weak. It finally

amount of prodding and urging, to get

his tail in the air, and now and then
making savage lunges toward anyone
whose appearance happened to dis-

posed in about equal numbers of Amer-

SUGAR TRUST IN WES*T INDIES
The Production I« Increasing, but the
. Coiibu Dipt Ion Keeim to 1!« Slow.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, has furnished to the de-
partment of state a copy of a circular
issued by the West India committee
of London concerning sugar produc-
tion. The ambassador explains that it
is not to be regarded as an expression
of opinion by liis government, but only
of the committee's views. The circu-
lar calls attention to the fact that tho
sugar industry, beet as well as cane, is
passing through a criBls of the most
serious description, and expresses the
hope that in attempting to provide a
remedy the various governments
should avoid taking any steps which
may aggravate the crises in
relieving it. it is shown that while the
production is increasing at ti,.
l,000,000*tons per annum, the consump-
tion grows slowly at the rate of only
250,000 tons per month. Naturally priccs
are depressed, and ^he bountv . tem
Is ascribed as the cause of this state
of affairs. Therefore it advocates tho
abolition of the bounty and th<
lafjon of consumption by the 1 i 1
of the duties levied on sugar, which
are excessive in Europe and prevent
the people as a whole from using sugar.

Ministers of tho Gospel Talk 011 Differ-
ent I.lnea Nowadays
Now we have the "new preacher," foi
ns the old-fashioned women have
passed away, so also have the antiqus
clergymen, who formerly talked aboul
the golden seats in heaven and the
roaring fires of an eternal hell. One ol
the new preachers in this end of tho
universe is the Rev. Frank E. Mason,
of Brooklyn. At the First Church of
Christ the other night, Dr. Mason spok
in answer to the question, "Is there a
hell .'" and this is what he said: "Yes.
if \ hi make one. There is no local^iell.
IIcll nnd heaven are conditions of
mind, not •locations. Hell is th j
abridgement of power. It is th* shriv-
eling of the mind. Man carries his own
brimstone in the pocket of his thought.
It is set on fire by the friction of nega-
tive ideas. The pessimist relegates hia
heaven to futurity. The optimist en-
joys it 011 eartji. The one who is con-
tinually singing, 'Earth is a detert
drear, heaven is my home,' lives in per-
petu * hell. He is suffering from ec-
clesia.--.ticaI dyspepsia. He has eiften
the forbidden apple and can not digest
it."
The new preacher also has a cjub of
his own. Since Hie New York Clergy
club was established some time ago it
has had it3 headquarters in the dio-
cesan house. 29 Lafayette place. This
institution is composed wholly of cler-
gymen of the Episcopal church, and
was established for literary and social
purposes. On account of tho necessity
for using the room devoted to the use
of the members of the club on tho first
floor for diocesaJt purposes, Bishop Pot-
ter sent out a notice last week an-
nouncing that the reading room would
be abandoned, the papers, books, etc.,
being removed to another and smaller .
apartpient, to tie used only by those
members of tho club who occupy rooms

THIS STORY IS#OF M'COOK.
It Tolls Ho\r tho Warrior Kicked Colo-
row Downstair*.
Edward, 0410 of "the fighting Mc-
Cooks," while governor of Colorado ter-
ritory, had a good deal of trouble with
the Indians, and especially with their
chief, Colorow. With a party of his
braves Coloro*- came to Denver one
night, and after drinking heavily told
his followers th;y. he was going up to
kill McCook. The governor had his of-
fice in a two-story building, and sat
with liis back to the dsor, with a
looking glass on the desk in front of
him so thtft he could see any onp com-
ing in without turning. McCook waa
expecting some trouble with Colorow,
nnd was seated at his desk when the In-
dian came in. Colorow had a pistol in
hi h in 1'and, approaching McCook, he
,stood bj his 1 Ids fthd grunted: "Mc-
Cook. liar!" The govfrnor never look*
ed tip. but kept on writing. "McOook
heap liar," repeated Colorow, ffut the
governor never notiesd it. "McCook
heap big liar," continued ?'olorow, and
still /She pen scratched away. Colorow
mistook McCook's silence for fear and
let his pistol hand drop until liis arm

McCook£ra >ped the Indian's wrist, and
In another the pistol fell to the floor.
Turning Colorow around, tffc governor
deliberately thrust him downstairs £nd
out of the door into the circle of In-
dians who were waiting for the expect-
ed trouble. "Colorow's a squaw," said
McCook to tho assembled Indians, and,
giving tho chief a parting kick, he re-

One cannot too Boon forget his errors
nnd misdemeanors. To dwell long
upon them is to add to the offense. Not
to grieve long for any action, but to
go immediately and do freshly and oth-
erwise, subtracts so much from the
wrong; else we may make tho delay of
repentance the punishment of the sin. laborati

Never lines Without it.
A prominent young lawyer in this
city was recently remonstrated with
by a friend because he invariably ear-
ned a cane in business hours, says tho
New York World. "It has a frivolous
appearance and may hurt you profes-
sionally," said his friend. "People will
not credit you with sufficient steadiness
and aplication if they see that you are
addicted to such a dudish habit.' '
That young lawyer replied that ho
did It on the score of economy. "Be-
fore I carried a cane." he said, "I fost
on an .average a dozen umbrellas a
year, which at $10 apiece means $120.
This c%ne cost me $1.50. 1 have not lost
an umbrella sincc I bought it, over a
year ag#. You sec, I get used to hav-
ething in my hand, and when
l leave a restaurant or car,
( instinctively look around for
that something. Before I got
used to tho cane I never thought of
I he umbrella unless it happened to be
raining, and if it chanced to be a bor-
rowed umbrella I was using, tho in-
dignation of tho lender when I told
him I had lost it was wo^se than the
pecOnlasr Iom. 1 have coma to the con-
clusion that this cane is worth its
weight infold to me every year."
The Joy of God.
As the flowers follow the sun and sl-
ntly hold up their petals to bo tinted
and enlarged by its shining, so must
we, if wo would know tho joy of God,
hold our sohls, wills, hearts and minds
f^till before him whose voice commands,
whoso love warms, whose truth makes
fair our whole being. God speaks for
most part in silence only: If tho souls
be full of tumult and jangling voices,
his voice is little likely to be heard.—
