MY POOR WIPE.
BY J. P. SMITH.

CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.)
"I've found out the things she cared
for wonst plaze her no more, that her
eye is always turned wan way—the
way you come across the mountain;
her ear always listenin' for wan
sound—the sound of yer foootstep;
that her thoughts are with you night
an' day, sleepin' and wakin'. I came
on her yesterday mornln' at daytireak
an' found her dramin' on the cliff;
when I touched her she smiled and
•whispered the word 'Paul'—that's yer
name, isn't it—Paul? An' ye've axed
her to call yer by it, though ye did
mane no harm!"
The old woman was right; I had
asked her to call me by my Christian
name the day before. I turned away
strangely moved and startled, remorse,
pity, tenderness mingling with a steal-
thy glow of triumph and satisfaction,
offspring of the meanest, most self-
ish vanity, making me ashamed to
meet my inquisitor's scornful search-
ing eye.
"What do you wish me to do, if this
be true, which I very much doubt?"
I asked, after a painful pause.
"There's only wan thing you can
do, and that your sense ought to tell
you quick enough. Go away at once
and never come nigh the place again."
"Yes," I assented eagerly, "I will
go away in a day or two without
fail."
"In a day or two. No—if ye go at
all, ye must go now—this very night!"
'"What, without one word of fare-
well?"
"Without a word."
"I'll do nothing of the kind; you've
overshot the mark, old woman," I said
determinedly, moving away. "If I do
go tonight. I'H •-«< —■ —
sure myself of the falseness of your
silly tale, you doting old termagant!"
I added under my breath.
I went quickly back, she follow-
ing me slowly, and, on the edge of
the cliff where we had first stood to-
gether, I found Helen motionless look-
ing out to sea.
Without giving any explanation or
looking her in the face, I told her,
with a forced heavy briskness, I had
come back to say good-by, as business
of importance called me to England
on the morrow.
"You are going tomorrow?" she re-
peated, but said not another word. I
stole a glance at her face; it was
deadly pale and still, but otherwise
bore no trace of stormy feeling.
"It's very unfortunate, but I must
start in the morning. I'll send you
tho books I promised and the illus-
trated "Atlas' as soon as I get to
town. You will find the latter very
useful for the information you want,"
I said uneasily—"there's an alphabet-
ical key at the end, you know, and—
and I'll leave you my address in case
—in case you should want anything.
You know how happy I would be to
help you, and—hear of your welfare
now and then, Helen."
Still not a word; she did not seem
to hear me, so I relapsed into silence
too.
"Helen," I resumed desperately,
"have you—have you nothing to say
to me; I—I am going away tomor-
row."
"I have to say goodby, have I
not?" she answered at last, turning
round full upon me. "Then let 11s
say it at once." She put her hands
for a moment into mine, stooped,
picked up Jim and held his little wet
note to my face. "A friend has come
to say good-by to you and me, Jim—
a very kind friend. Tell him how
sorry you are to lose him, and ask
him not to—to forget us too soon.
An instinct of self-protection urged
me to hold my tongue. I bent my
head over her arm and touched Jim's
little ragged poll gingerly. Our faces
—his mistress' and mine—were but a
few Inches apart; I could not resist
the upward glance—lo, before she had
time to turn away, a great swelling
tear fell from her veiled eyes, and
what little self-possession I had left
deserted me altogether. The next sec-
ond Helen was in my arms and I waa
kissing the tears from her crimson
cheeks, telling her not to fret, for I
would never leave her now, that she
sud Jim and I would go away to-
gether and never part again.
Prove yer words, prove yer words.
If ye mane fair an* honest. Come up
to the house wld me this minute an'
Jist ax th' ould wan for her straight.
She'll give her to ye fast enough, sorra
a fear."
Molly's flat eager voice broke in up-
on my sweetheart's smothered sobs;
her dusty hand pulled us apart and
finally dragged me up the meadow and
.Into the presence of Mrs. Casey. The
venerable lady we found In a flannel
wrapper and befrilled night cap,
warming her toes before a bright turf
fire, a round of buttered toast and a
steaming tumbler of port negus by
her side.
CHAPTER VII.
At first she was icy indignant at my
Intrusion; but, when she learned the
nature of my errand, her manner
thawed, and with flattering affability
she gave me to understand that I
■could take her belpved grandchild to
wife as soon as ever I liked—even
suggested, though somewhat doubt-
fully, that I should wait to be supplied
with a companion tumbler of negus,
In celebration of the solemn betrothal,
, -which hospitality I curtly declined;
and, after a few whispered words with
Helen, who seemed quite dazed or
stupefied, I began my long walk home
in a turmoil of tenderness, triumph and
Irritation that was little in harmony
with the glorious stillness of the
moonlit ocean and cliffs.
I awoke the next morning after a
restless night with the comforting
consciousness that I had made an un-
mitigated fool of myself, tied myself
for life to a girl of no position, edu-
cation, fortune, even beauty, for whom
in cold blood I really did not care a
straw, while my heart was irretriev-
ably bound to another.
I wandered about the mountains
alone all day, and in the afternoon
turned towards the farm, but when
it came within view a feeling of im-
patient repulsion made me turn back
at once. That night I wrote a short
note to Helen, telling her I had 10
cMlna'sr.
nel.
General Stopford and his niece, I
heard, were occupying their town
house for a few weeks. I did not call
on them, but the day after my arrival
I had the pleasure of meeting Miss
Stopford In the row, looking the pic-
ture of blooming health and beauty,
my rival in devoted attendance.
She called me at once to her side
and in an Imploring whisper begged
me to come and see her that after-
noon, that she would be at home
to no one but me, and had so much
to say to me. I refused point-blank,
and took my leave almost at once, de-
termined never voluntarily to come
within range of her appealing eyes
agtiin. Yet, somehow, the very next
day found me on the general's door-
step, asking if his niece were at home.
I was ushered into a dim boudoir,
and, when my eyes became accustomed
to the light, I saw the young lady
sitting beside Lord Sandmouth's son,
and toying with a bunch of roses that
he had evidently just presented.
"I beg your pardon," I said, with
a low bow, as the pair started to their
feet. "I think I have made a mis-
take; it was yesterday afternoon you
were to have been "at home" and
alone to me, Miss Stopford, was it
not?"
I went away, wrote immediately to
Mrs. Casey urging her to hasten the
preparations for our marriage. Threo
weeks later I returned to Donegal, and
one lovely August morning, without
settlements, trousseau, presents or the
orthodox breakfast, I was married
in the whitewashed parlor where I had
first seen my bride less than three
months before with her apron full of
early potatoes.
The ceremony was uneventful until
the conveyance that was to take us to
the train came lumbering and Jolt-
ing up the grassy drive, and Helen
rose to say good-by to her grand-
mother.
"You—you will write to me, and
let me see you sometimes, granny?"
she said timidly, with a slight break
in her voice.
"Certainly, if you earnestly wish It,
dear child," answered Mrs. Casey,
brushing the girl's cheek with her
bristly chin; "but at the same time,
Helen, I have been thinking seriously
over this matter, and have come to the
conclusion that it would be better if
you did not return to the humble
scene of your childhood, for reasons
you will understand later. You are
entering into a world of pleasure,
wealth, excitement; I am passing away
here, in solemn undisturbed commun-
ion with my Creator. My dayB are
short on earth, as you know, and I
would rather not. have them broken
Into by Intercourse with a world I
have forsaken forever. You must not,
dear child, think this decision harsh
or unnatural, or that it is dictated by
lack of affection for you. No, no, far
from it; I will bear you dally in my
thought*, and pray with all the unc-
tion of my soul that you may be hap-
py and prosperous in your new state
of life and worthy in every way of the
estimable gentleman in whose keep-
ing I place you with unbounded con-
fidence today."
I bowed low to hide a grim smile,
for, indeed, I might have been the
sorriest scamp that ever took a wife,
for aught the old lady knew to the
contrary; and my wife, with a com-
posed, almost callous countenance,
responded, moving to the door—
"So be it, granny; let this be good-
by forever, then."
On the doorstep Molly was waiting
to fling her arms around her nurse-
child in a noisy embrace; and as we
lumbered down the hill her shrill
blessings, mingled with the rattle of
hobnailed heels and handfuls of rics
striking the back of the carriage,
made a deafening noise.
When it was over I withdrew my
hands from my ears and said to my
wife, who was looking out of the win-
dow—
"Well, Helen, how do you feel? It
was not such a terrible business after
all, was it?"
CHAPTER VIII.
She turned round. I saw that her
eyes were gleaming, her cheeks burn-
ing.
"You heard her, you saw her?" sho
cried bitterly. "She was so glad, to
get rid of me, she could not bear cho
idea of looking upon me again—sho,
my mother's mother, with whom I
have lived all my life. What is there
in me, I wonder, that makes inc such
an unbearable burden to every one?
When I had the fever years ago, she
—she prayed that I might die. I wish
I had—I wish I had. Now, they are
all relieved, overjoyed, that you—you
have been tricked Into marrying me
—every one of them, Biddy, Mike, even
Molly, who—who I thought cared a
little for me. Oh, I—"
"She does care for you," I broke in
soothingly. "And so do I, Helen—
you know that well. Why else should
I have married you?"
"I don't know—I don't know," she
answered wildly. "You had some good
reason, I feel; and, though you fancy
for me now 11 w'"
rid of me like the rest. I wish I
had never met you. I wish I had
never been born—there's no one cares
for me in the world but little Jim and
he has no sense—my little Jim, whom
I—I am never to see again, though
you promised, Mr. Dennys, that he and
I were never to be parted—you—did—
you know you did!"
"My dear, why did you not bring
him with you? You know I would
not have objected. Let us turn back
and get him at once."
I leaned out to tell the driver to
turn, when I saw the poor little dog.
with his tongue hanging out, covered
with dust, ambling feebly after us.
I picked him up nnd laid him in his
mistress' arms, and left them for a
time to whisper their grievances
to one another. Presently Helen
touched me gently, and I saw the
tstorm had gone out of her face. She
said wistfully—
"I'm sorry I said what I did, Mr.
Dennys. Will you forgive me, please,
and—and try to be kind to poor little
Jim and me?" When I had made the
most suitable answer I could think of
she added; "When—when—you are
really tired of us you will let us
know, and we'll go away quietly and
never trouble you again."
We remained abroad for five months,
for I was anxious to rub off the sur-
face-coat of my wife's rusticity before
bringing her under the critical eyes
of my friends.
I must say the undertaking was not
a painful or tedious one by any
means. Somehow tho lace ruffles and
bangles fitted her little brown wrists
more naturally than I Imagined. She
learned quickly and aptly, and, much
to my surprise, showed an lnnato
capability of discerning worth and
beauty in the higher branches of art
which culture had failed to awaken
in me. In a picture gallery she would
Instinctively go to the best picture,
stand entranced before canvases from
which my eye and, Indeed, the average
eye of our fellow-travelers would
turn away in dull weariness.
She was very observant and Intelli-
gent, never required to be told a thing
twice, and in a very short time of
wedded intimacy learned to read the
meaning of every light and shade that
crossed my common-place counte-
nance, the very thoughts of my heart
—in a manner that startled me at
first, until I came to accept it as an
ordinary accomplishment, not without
Its advantages to one of my torpid
temperament. The thing I had been
longing lazily for I would find some-
how at my elbow as soon as she
entered the room, the words I would
wish said would drop naturally from
her lips, tho people I liked would be
her friends at the end of the week.

ODDITIES OF POISONING.
ttuch of Kanlilf Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals fihould always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with Impunity
while another is poisoned if only In
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members of a family
residing in a malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at
ail affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons will not act so on others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with Impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds of
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
It is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
ffffbula De prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus a person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whiteness Is
often produced by the use of alum
with an inferior article of flour, and as
alum is known to be poisonous In Its
effects on a sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people of Judgment and dis-
cretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize and It is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-food laws.
ROBBED THE TREASURY.
Two Prisoners In Manila Charge Weyler
With the Crime.
San Francisco. Nov. 5.—A special
dispatch from Manila says that evi-
dence connecting General Weyler with
the looting of the Philippine treasury
has been found. Two prisoners in the
Iiililcid prison declared that they were
suffering for tho crimes of others, and
begged that their cases be reopened.
They nverred that Weyler and his as-
sociates had looted the treasury of
81,250,000 in Mexican silver, and that
they had been accused of the crime and
sent to jail.
A report of the matter was made to
General MacArthur and an examina-
tion of the books at the treasury or-
dered. They showed that during the
Woyler regime immense sums of money
had been withdrawn, and there was
an unsatisfactory showing as to the
disposition of it. One of the prisoners
was a cashier of the treasury. He de-
clares that Weyler himself came to the
treasury to aid in the crime. It has
been decided to make a full investiga-
tion of the case.
Nkw York, Nov. 5 — General Roy
?tone who has just returned from
Porto Rico says: "The people at
Porto Rico aro not at all satisfied with
American rule. Thero is a growing
lifference between tho natives and the
military. When tho army of occupa-
tion first invaded tho island the na-
tives received the Americans so cor-
lially that they expected to bo treated

juered province. Tho treatment they
aavo met at our hands has been jutt
the opposite. This has produced

lition to this they want free trade
with tho United States, and there Is

ihould not have it. At present they

foods, Spanish goods included, which

"Our military government of the
Island has been far from satisfactory.

rule and have not replaced it with
American forces, thus destroying their
safeguards to lifo and property. As a
result of this from ISO to 200 of the

CURCD TUBERCULOSIS.
two Consumptive l'atlents Recover Under
Dr. Murphy's Treatment In Cliloago.
Chicago, Nov. f>.—Dr. J. 11. Mur-
phy's now treatment for consumptives
las apparently worked its first cures.
The patients are William it. Purcell
ind J. C. Edwards, who have been un-
dergoing the treatment for a little over
threo months. Tho treatment is that
which excited wide interest when pre-
tented in a paper read by Dr. Murphy
before tho American Medical associa-
tion at Denver this summer.
There are now between sixty and
leventy patients taking tho treatment.
The Cook county hospital for con-
sumptives, a charitable Institution,
with accommodations for 380 patients,
which will bo opened here next week,
will try treatment on an extended
scale.
Dr. Murphy's theory is that the con-
stant exe-ciso of the lung prevents
tho healing of tho affected parts.
Nitrogen, injected with a hypodcrinio
•yringe, compresscs tho cavity and
prevents it expanding, thereby giving
It perfect rest. After several weeks
the nitrogen is drained off. At the
time the paper was presented in Den-
ver, Dr. Murphy said he had helped
several patients greatly, but had not
tiad sufficient time to test tho final ef-
fects of tho treatment.

MODEST GENERAL KITCHENER
Credit for the Soudanese Success Shifted

London, Nov. 5.—Tho Htreets of the
oity were crowded all morning with
people seeking to witness General
Kitchener's triumphal progress to the
Guild hall, to receive the freedom of
London and the sword of honor, pre-
sented him in recognition of his de-
feat of the dervishes of Omdurman.
The general was cheered loudly as he
drove through the streets. Ho was
accompanied by three aids-de-camp.
When ho renehed the Guild hall Gen-
oral Kitchener took his place oil the

ADMIRAL MILLER ON HAWAII.
The Annexation of the Island* Coast*-
ered Most rortunate to America.
CmcAeo, Not. 4.-Reap Admiral J.
N. Miller, who hoisted the flag over
tho Hawaiian islands and proclaimed
them part of the United States, left
this city to-day after a day's stay, for
Springfield. Ohio, his boyhood horns.
Admiral Miller will retire from service
in the navy November 23. Before
leaving Admiral Miller said: "I believe
the Pacific station to be second in iae>
portance. If not the most important
naval station we have. I think so not
because I have commanded our fleeta
In those waters so many years, but be-
cause tho rapid growth of the West
coast cltics indicates that a large pop-
ulation will eventually reside there.
I am, therefore, greatly gratified that
the government has seen fit to send
two such magnificent battleships as
the Oregon and the Iowa to the I'aclflo
station."
Speaking of his prospective retire-
ment Admiral Miller said: "I greatly
regret having to quit the service at m
time when I foel I am well able to do
the duties, but I must give way to
younger men. I have had my innings
and must give others a chance."
With regard to the lessons gained by
the late war, ho said: "First and fore-
most I think the n cussity of the Nlo-
araguan oanal la the thing of prime
importance to our navy. A country
which has such a vast coast line on
two oceans needs a route by which war
ships can be transferred from ocean to
ooean without incurring the necessity
?' circumnavigating a continent. I
think the Nicaraguan canal will be
built in eight years. It is the only
practical passage. The chief difficulty
to be surmounted in Nicaragua is the
establishment of a port at Greytown.

the navagation difficult and consider-
able expense would be Incurred in fix.

"Another necessity shown by the

HIS LIBERTY TO BE BRIEF.
J. II. Aldrlch to Ue Rearrested Wbea
Ills Time Ksplres.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4,—James
H. Aldrlch, who was sent to the Mis-
souri state penitentiary in May, 1897,
for stealing 927,000 from the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis railway,
will doff his prison garb to-morrow,
when his term, under the good beha-
vior rule, will expire. He will step
outside the prison walls at Jefferson
City and for a few moments will
breathe the air of liberty. Before he
has time to colleot his thoughts he will
be rearrested at the instance of the
American Surety company, and will be
confronted with the possibility of an
other term in the state prison.
Aldrlch believes he has expiated his
crime, but tho surety company, whloh
made good his shortage to the Mem-
phis railroad, of which he was cashier
and paymaster, sayB that the sentence
of uo years was inadequate for the
orime. Friends of Aldrich and the at-
torneys for him say that the surety
company Is out for revenge and that if
its losses were made good the proaecu-
tlon would be dropped.
THE PANAMA NOT LOST.
The American Transport Toaehee at
Havana and Leaves for New York.
Havana, Nov. 4. —The transport
Panama, with several hundred Ameri-
cans aboard, whose loss had been re-
ported from Fantiago, arrived here
from that port this morning at 8
o'clock, and landed seven American
passengers, including some military
officers. She left Havana at about 10
o'clock. Her destination Is New York.
It is reported the Panama has about
400 sick men on board.
The Panama, which was taken from
the Spaniards as a prize during the
war, wos lu bad condition when she
sailed from Santiago Monday. Her
engines were out of order and her hull
damaged. Her condition was such
that Postmaster Hugo Hydeman con-
sidered her unsafo, and declined to
place tho mails aboard her. Many
seamen at Santiago say the vessel haa
been unseaworthy for a long time.
