THE carriage turned and the horses,
pampered and spirited, started
rapidly down the hard, winding road,
while liorton, waving bis hand to two
faces looking out the window of the
quickly-disappearing train, jumped in
his trap and followed.

"How time flies!" remarked her
aunt, with a sigh of placid content,
weaving certain plans for the near fu-
ture, in which her handsome niece was
to take a prominent part.
"Do you not think May if a very
charming mouth, cherie? Why not
listen to reason, ami l«*t Robert per-
suade you? June is the best possible
time to go abroad, and your uncle and
I could join you later in Paris. We
could spend the winter there if Robert
can spare the time, and your sorrow
will cease to overshadow you. my dear.
You are too young, mon enfant, to be
unhappy. There is so much in tin
years to come to gild life for you into
happiness; our affection ami Robert's
devoted attachment will quickly chase
away all the shadows if you will only
be reasonable and consent."
A look of keen distress i>« ttled over
Aurore's face, and although her lips
parted as if to speak no sound came.
"It is for your welfare and happiness

aunt, with kindly emotion. "Robert

child, and should the accidents of life
take us old people awnj* from you

Your father was my dearly loved
brother. Were I to die, Aurore, 1

anything but shadows.
"You are trying to frighten ine. Let
me stay with you and dear old uncle,
and let us frame no plans, or, if you
will, let us three go abroad in June,

"We will visit together the old (ier-
man towns you are so fond of. and
when winter comes we will roc."
Hut her aunt shook her head with
smiling persistency, while fondly st rok-

her shoulders.

And Aurore was eager and radiant, not
at the anticipated pleasure of a tour
abroad, as her uncle thought, but In
the hope of postponing that fateful fu-
ture which loomed up so immutably.

With a loving gesture he went to-
waj it the library in search of his mail,
and Yurore. with a sigh, passed out on
the porch.
Aurore sat on the marble steps and
Ir >ked out over the moonlit garden, and
determined to have it out, once for
all with her innermost thoughts, and to
come to a distinct understanding of all
those chaotic, troublous feelings which
had so insidiously taken possession of
her.
The faint chimes of the village
church bell came on the still, odorous
air. some fireflies went flitting through
the flowering shrubs, and a profound
melancholy took possession of Aurore
—a yearning she could not define,
while reason asserted itself with cold
insistence.
"You do not even know him. You
saw him for one short half hour, flint
memorable night when wind and storm
were abroad; that winter night, whose
dawn severed the frail thread of a life
so dear to you.
"How do you know," said reason,
"that he remembers you? That he
has given you a single thought?
"Because he looked full and keenly
! and long, your vanity has supposed
that there was interest and admira-
tion in a glance only remarkable be-
' cause it came from eyes of singular
and splendid forcefuluess.
"You must, you must thrust this silly
recollection from heart and brain. Y ou

And Aurore. glancing back through
the doors which opened down on the
porch, saw in the beautiful oak pan-
eled room, rich in rare decorations, on
whose walls hung the portraits of a
proud old ancestry, the handsome, el-
derly. gray-haired people whose cup
of content would be full, she w ell knew ,
• f the plan they cherished was carried
out to fulfillment.
Aurore leaned against the tall col-
umn of thfi porch and looked out at the
radiance of the night, and as the soft,
plaintive call of a bird broke the still-
ness it seemed to her that her heart
would beat i«s last pulsation and die.

".No! no! no! Not yet. Not in May!"
pleaded Aurore, a poignant anguish
clutching at her heart strings.
There was a long pause, while a car-
riage swept up the avenue and stopped.
"Ah. les jennes filles," sighed Mrs.
d'Aubert. "Very well, cherie, we will
speak of it later."
Her aunt was placidly unmoved as
Horton sprang out and came forward
to help them alight. Mrs. d'Aubert

WHAT GOrtKNS?
Repudiation of the i'onMtllutlon at
the Dletntioa of the
Trusts.
Congressman McCall, of Massachu-
setts, struck the keynote of the Porto
liican tariff bill discussion when he
said in congress the other dii> • "The
question is not 'does the constitution
govern Porto liico?' but "does it govern
. , us?* Can congress, which is the crea-
eompoM< <• ture«0f (i,0 constitution, do those
things which the constitution pro-
hibits?"
'.' lie Aiucrican people must uw>l blind
themselves to this simple and signifi-
cant truth. It may mem a matter of
little consequence whether or not the
tariff syndicates are allowed to tax tho
Porto llieans os they see fit. The
Porto llicauH will suiter and the tariff
trusts will profit—and there, some
might say. t he matter ends. Why both-
er ubout it?
But before this tax can be imposed,
before the profit of the tariff t rusts and
the tribute-paying of the Porto llieans
begins, an American congress must de-
clare its authority superior to that of
the American constitution. It must do
a thing which the constitution distinct-
ly prohibits. Having thus violated the
constitution, its act of violence must
receive the official approval of the pres-
ident of the United States-who will
approve it despite the fact that in his
message to congress he took a stand
against it.
This repudiation of the constitution
at tlie dictation of the tariff trusts will
be ominous indeed to the future of this
country. What lias been compelled

"When I'm auntie's age," Aurore
said with a slightly embarrassed laugh,
refusing the help of his outstretched
hands and jumping on the marble steps
of the porch, where Mrs. d'Aubert
stood.
"I'll be over about eight," Horton
said, rather shortly, as he turned,
swung himself in his trap, took the
lines and drove off.
"Tu n'es pas gentille," Mrs. d'Aubert
said, with gentle reproach, as .they
went in the wide hall.
And Aurore asked herself while go-
ing up the broad winding stairway
why it was that she could not greet her
cousin, her oh! playmate of those sweet
early years, of whom she had always
been so fond with even ordinary cor-
diality. but instinctively repelled and
repulsed him. Why she dreaded every
approach to that one thought Which
she so well knew was dominant in bis
mind, and why she felt so miserable, so
utterly wretched, when he looked at
her with that appealing air of devotion
she knew so well.
The March evening was warm and
pleasant, und Aurore slipped into a
lighter gown before going down to
supper, only partly conscious of how
its clinging transparency brightened
the brilliance of her beauty.

eagerness.
"What Is it. sweetheart? You look
as if you had seen ti ghost. Why, you
are trembling, nnd your hands are icy
cold. What an impressionnble little
child it is, in spite of its 20 years," said
Horton. smiling tenderly, while chaf-
ing Aurore's hands with loving geutli-
ness.
"Now sit down nnd tell me what
you were dreaming about, and what
wicked thoughts were absorbing you.
They must have been villainous, to have
blanched your cheeks that way.
"Why. Aurore. child, you are as pale

Yes. Auror v? heart must have died
when she gave flint stifled cry. for it

soms, broken from her hand, one night
long ago.
They «*at .side by side on the marble
steps, nnd the two elderly people in-
side peered lovingly at them, nnd nod-
ded and talked, with a pleased luugh
to each other, and laid bright plans.
And Aurore pared silently out at
the calm ethereal light, resting so
peacefully over all things, while Hor-
ton. with desperate emotion, poured
out his soul to her. while a palpitat-
ing stillness seemed to hover around

about a month ago one weighing!! little

A Cowardly Polley.
As if the 15 per cent, and two years'
limit in the Porto Rico tariff measure
were not sufficiently apologetic, the
president came along yesterday with
a recommendation to congress that
the $2,000,000 collected on importa-
tions from ilm island since the Span-
ish evacuation lie applied to the relief
of the Porto Bicans by the t*nited
States. Next to the performance of a
"plain duty?' the president seemed to
think the two millions would serve.
The republican majority, stimulated
by sharp home messages of disapprov-
al of Wednesday's work, lost no time
in joining Mr. McKinley in his con-
fidence fund. The Porto llieans asked
for a loaf; they get a stone. Instead
of admitting this territory to its con-
stitutional rights under the flag, and
giving its people the opportunity of
working out their own industrial sal-

attracted attention on account of tht
plaintiff's prominence in sticicty line

Mutual disillusionment und it separa-
j t ion followed, a baby girl being left
with the mother. The lady in the
case is the plaintiff, and, it is said,
she desires to marry again.
The rules of the Ilonrin Catholic
church do not permit a divorcee to
marry. The question of one desiring
to dti sti was not to lie considered liy
the church, ami there was no civil law
to cover the case. The laws of re-
form make a civil ceremony neces-
sary to a legal marriage. As (Ionian
Catholics consider marriage a sacra-
ment, both civil nml religious rites
lire the rule, und the former taking
pluce first. In case of annulment of
the marriage contract new vows may
be taken.
The plaintiff in question claimed to
have discovered after her marriage
that her husband had a wife living,
from whom he was divorced. There-
lore. as her church did not allow her
to marry a «' < ret I man—or him to
marry her i pro. ed that the con-
tract be tlecla 'ti null ami void. This,
it is siiitl, the church was ready to do.
but, a civil ceremony being necessary,
it fell to the court to decide her renl
slut us, ami it has taken several
months to reach a decision, as it felt
the responsibility of establishing a
law which, iu view of the steady
growth tif foreign colonies in the re-
public, limy be frequently tested.

F. Printc decided the marriage to be
null ami void, owing to a prior union
on the man's part though lie hud
been divorced from Jiis wife in the
United States, where it was a lawful
ict for him to marry again. As he
had acted in goes I faith iu his Mexican
marriage, no action aguinst him was
taken, and eneli party had its own
costs to pay.
Thus it is clear that, while Mexico
recognizes a foreign marriage, she
does not recognize a divorce secured
in any country as giving a right to
marry again within her limits.
The status of the child did not come
before the court, it having dietl a few
months ago.
The consensus of opinion among
Americans seems to be tlint Mexico,
through her courts, has taken u wise
step in endeavoring to preserve the
sanctity of the marriage vow.

"It is very pretty." snitl Miss Cary to
Dorothy, "and soon you will be making

long enough to reach through two
rooms of the house.' "
Dorothy's eyes shone with pleased
excitement at the little kindergarten
story, ami eagerly she asked: "And
what did you say back?" The quick
question was a revelation. To the lit

what was "said back."

MICROBE OF THE GRIP.
/low That Dreaded Affection Ij
Yruiotiorled from One I'olnt
to Another.
br. Albert Prieur and Dr. L. Caze, la
Ihe llevue ties Kevues, give some de-
tails in regard to the w. as of influen-
zu ami the peculiarities of its microbe.
Here is what Dr. Prieur says:
"'Influenza,' that queer and ugly
word with which the grip clothed it-
self in 180S, when it was raging in Italy,
was first, and, unfortunately, brought
into the medical vocabulary by Prof.
Huxliam. It is true that he was never
very proud of his invention, and up to
a comparatively recent date doctors
and patients continued to use the good
old wortl 'grip,' invented in the lust
century by Sauvages de Montpelicr,
doubtless to depict the peculiar expres-
sion of countenance which belongs to
those who are unlucky enough to con-
tract the disease.
"Without going into the d 'tails of a.
pathological chapter on the subject,
it may be necessary to cull attention to
ihe fact that the wortl grippe or 'in-
fluenza' is too often carelessly or erro-
neously employed. Of course, for a
doctor the grip, strictly speaking, is
difficult to diagnose at its commence-
ment, nml it often happens thut the
medical man cannot tell whether he is
dealing with a catarrhal or hay fever,
or with a serious affection like angina,
smallpox or typhoid. But neverthe-
less, the grip has an appearance pe-
culiar to itself, which, at a given mo-
ment. outside of ull bacteriological
c\ai • nation, ut best-, vague in the be-
ginilw g. facilitates its diagnosis.
"But attempt to describe the va-
rious and capricious symptoms of the
grip outside of medical literature,
properly speaking would be to at tempt
the impossible. Sometimes it starts
with a furious attack, and sometimes
it begins with little indispositions that
lasi ihrce or four days. With the
grip all sorts of forms are possible.
But there are three forms which are
noteworthy: First, the nervous form,
with its terrible hcadaches, neuralgia,
lumbago and alternatives of physical
und mental depression, followed by
excitement that later reaches delirium;
secondly, the respiratory form which
localizes itself in one of several of the
organs, the noi e. the phurynx. the
larynx, the trachea, the bronchial
tubes and the lungs (indeed it may
spread Itself through them all); third-
ly, the digestive form, sometimes ae>
cessory, but more frequent and more
tenacious than people commonly be-
lieve it to be. 1111c! reaching from simple
gastric trouble to the most intense
gastro-iutcsfinai manifestations.
"Now. although the delimitation of
these three forms is somewhat theo-
retical. the forms themselves belong ta
three particular stutes; the cardiac
symptoms which may follow pul-
niouary troubles, or exist by them-
selves in uii organ already predisposed;
urinal. sensorial ami cutaneous
troubles accompanied by a fever that
may manifest all sorts of caprices.
Therefore it is easy to see that the
grip, having all ihe recesses of the
organism at its disposal, may be mild
in one case and dangerous iu another.
It attacks every organ und presents it-
self iu all sorts of forms. Neverthes-
h . it has it- own peculiar murk, its
own seal which enables the medical
man to recognize it in spite of all ils
fantastic disguises. Like all infections,
ii goes strnigltt for the predisposed or-
gan. Moreover, flic grip is essentially
epidemic nml contagious, but iu most
eases it i* not a very serious disease, if
the patient i* prudent and the doctor
vigilant."
Dr. L. Caze introduces us to the
microbe of the grip. "The grip, or In-
fluenza," he says, "is tine to a wauder-.
ing microbe, which, like lluiL of (lie
cholera, travels on laud ami sea. J11
November last this redoubtable insert
was iu Turkey, where its presence was
noted scientifically. It traveled along
the great lilies tif commerce and ar-
rived at several points of the old nnd
new world. It was Prof. Holiert Pfeif-
fcr, of Berlin, who discovered the ba-
cillus in IS92. and since then it is kept in
reserve in laboratory cultures, like its
relatives of tuberculosis, typhus, ma-
laria. hydrophobia ami yellow fever.
The microbe enters the human system
through the nose ami mouth. The
germ ill form looks a little like an egg,
and it is covered by a shell. The in-
terior is composed of a cellular white
mass, like the white of an egg, and in
the center of this is the protoplasm,
which can lie compared to the yolk of
an egg. Once in the human body, tho
bacillus settles down to business and
spreads uhroud the liquid poison which
en uses iiifiueiizu. It is not the germ
which produces the malady, but the
toxic matter which emanates from K.
"The bacillus of the influenza ha.i
neither legs nor wings, and. although
it can't move along of its own accord,
it is constantly traveling. How does
it travel? It attaches itself to moving
bodies of all kinds. Certainly the germ
may sometimes be carried along in the
wind, but iu most eases it reaches the
human body by contagion. Once in-
stalled there, it increases and multi-
plies enormously and in a very short
\ime."
