The orient has become a competltoi

It must be a terrible blow to the
(treat purifier, Anthony Comstock, to
tie accused of "indecency,” but that Is
lust the claim made against him by
the women of the W. C. T. U. with
regard to the big row they are hav-
ing over the bills brought before the
legislature last session. Comstock de-
fends himself somewhat lamely, but
the women are after him with a sharp
stick and say, "the terms he employed
were positively unclean," and so on

"Dizzy" Conway, New York's swell

books of the police headquarters. He
was not able to live as he thought a
gentleman should live, which Incident-

Chicago, however, is lo bo congratu-
lated upon the acquisition of the swell-

to join the Chicago force, especially if
he be put on duty down town at some

Mrs. Margaret Adams is the captain
of a canal boat that bears her own
name and she 1b also a member of the
society of New Womanhood from start
to finish, all the time, “et ultra." One
of her crew, Michael Haynes, made a
break at the pettlcoated commander
with a knife, whereat she tapped him
sn the head with a marlin spike and
easily put him out In the first round.
This was all right, of course, but un-
fortunately for the cause of New Wom-
anhood, Mrs. Adams had enough Old
Womanhood left In her makeup to Im-
mediately retire to the cabin and have
a good cry, after which she recovered
sufficiently to get good and mad in
earnest, and throw everything mov-
able overboard. She seems to be r1' t-
ty feminine, after all.
CHAPTER VI.—(Contini zu.i
It was October before the family
mude a formal removal to town. One
of the brothers, sometimes both, spent
two or three days a week there in Sep-
tember, and, since the uncertain sun-
shine and cold ruins of autumn ion-
flned the ladles, for the most part, to
the house, they were ready to second
the proposition to seek their winter
quarters. Edward Withers wuh regu-
larly Installed as one of his brothel s
household, and under his auspices city
life ul'^i put on a new face for Coil
Btance. He had a box at the opera, and
Klnathan was foremost to suggest that
Constance should accompany hint
thither.
“That is, when you are not engaged
to escort singlo ladles," added the se-
nior. with u dry untie.
"Which will not happen often ‘f t
can have my sister's company Ina'ead,"
replied the other, cordially. “Hut can-
not wo make up a family party of four
for to-morrow night? I can promise
you a treat."
"Musical treats, when they arc op-
eratic, are thrown away upon me," was
the answer. "Hut I am anxious that
Constance shall keep up her practic-
ing, and, to this end, desire her to have
every opportunity of improving her
taste and style. You and she can give
home concerts of the latest gents in
this line for Harriet’s benefit and
mine."
Harriet applauded the idea to the
echo, and was careful that ho should
not regret the young people’s absence
on the evenings they spent abroad,
playing chess with him for a couple of
hours, and then reading aloud mone-
tary or political articles selected by
himself until he dropped into a doze.
They were left thus to themselves more
ami more as the season advanced. In-
vitations to parties, concerts and din-
ners rained In upon Mrs. and the
Messrs. Withers, and to most of these
Constance went, attended by Edward
only. Mr. Withers had never been so-
cial from Inclination, and he was only
too glad to delegate Ills duties in this
line to his wife, now that the protec-
tion of his brother rendered his attend-
ance unnecessary.
Constance did not confess in words
to herself how greatly her pleasure was
augmented by the exchange of escorts.
It was natural that a man of her hus-
band’s age and disposition should pre-
fer his own fireside to dancing and
small talk, and a wearisome feint of
hearkening to harmonies that were un-
intelligible and without sweetness to
him. She enjoyed gay scenes with an
easier conscience that, she did not sec
his grave visage at every turn of the
waltz or promenade and was nut haunt-
ed by the thought, of her selfishness in
having dragged him from liis beloved
retirement. How much this feeling of
relief was intensified by the circum-
stance that her willing cavalier was the
most delightful talker, one of the best
dancers, and assuredly the most grace-
fully attentive to Ills fair charge in the
cordon of beattx who frequented the
fashionable resorts just named, did
not enter into her complacent calcula-
tions. She was on excellent terms with
herself and all about her at this junc-
ture. The acquaintances who had
carped at her reserve and want of ani-
mation in the few assemblies at which
she had appeared as a bride candidly
avowed that nothing could be more
charming than her affability and guy
good humor, aad that she was far hand-
somer than they had supposed al first
sight.
The more captious subjoined, sub-
rosa, that It was evident she appreci-
January. "Constance should be thank-
ful to us all her days for opposing her
absurd transendentalism about conge-
niality and mutual attraction and the
like puerile nonsense. What a wreck
she would have made of her happiness
had she been left to pursue the course
dictated by her own caprices! I hope,
Margaret, that we shall not have to
combat the like errors In our daugh-
ters when they grow up."
"Constance had a fund of strong
common sense in spite of her crudely
extravagant theories upon certain sub-
jects,” rejoined Mrs. Hom-ine. “Thanks
to it, and, as you justly observe, to
our counsels, she has married better
thar any other young woman I know.
Yes. I can ask no more enviable lot for
our girls than one like hers.”
According to these irrefragable au-
thorities, then, our heroine had steered
clear of the rock upon which so many
of her nge and sex have split; kept out
of the current that would have strand-
ed her, high and forlorn, upon the bar-
ren headlands of celibacy; had. virtu-
ously eschewing “crude” instinct, and
heart promptings, and natural laws (fit
only, in Mrs. ltomaine’s creed, for the
guidance of beasts, and birds, and
other Irrational things) rendered just
and graceful obedience ;o the equitable
principle prescribed and practiced 1 y
the autocrats of the "best circles.”
These burning and shining beacons
cease not, night nor day, to warn off
the impetuous young from the rigors
and desolation of Scylla, and cast such
illusive glare upon Charybdis as makes
Its seething rapids seem a Pacific of
delicious calm.

dence rocked to

1 / ter! Never had
'»r summer been so re-
> ) plete with light
and warmth. There
is a divine-delight in the slow sweep
of the outer circles of the maelstrom;
the half consciousness of the awaken-
ing heart, like that of the babe who,
aroused from slumber by his mother’s
voice, smiles recognition of the dear
music before his eyes are unsealed by
her kisses, or his head Is nestled upon
her bosom.
That to every human heart such
awakening comes, sooner or later. 1
hold and believe for certain. Deserts
of salt and bitterness there are in the
spiritual as well as in the material
world; but there was a time when the
Creator, whose name is I.ovc, pro-
nounced them “very good.” when as
yet the Hood, and the rain of fire and
brimstone had not made havoc of all
their pleasant things, nor the soft soil
been hardened into flint and gravel by
dearth and heat. And, to that garden
of the Lord's planting there came a day
- when or of what duration He knows,
and perchance He alone—when (he
south wind blew softly, and all the
spices thereof flowed out—spikenard
and saffron, calnmus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frakincense, myrrh
and aloes. It may have been but for
one glad hour—one moment of bewil-
dering bliss, that the heart thus visited
was transformed into a fountain of
gardens, a well of living waters and
streams from Lebanon. The next may
have witnessed the rush of the deluge
or the bursting of the pitchy cloud;
and behold! in place of Eden, a lair
] snake a thorough test of them before
i consenting to the venture. I shall drive
| them myself, and speak out frankly
! the result of the trial. In whatever
else we may differ. Elnathan and I are
a unit in our care for your welfare.
So, If we show ourselveB and the heav-
enly span of quadrupeds at the door
today, you need not fear to accept our
Invitation."
The gentle and affectionate reassur-
ance contrasted pleasantly with Mr.
Withers’s authoritative mandate.
"Constance! you will hold yourself in
readiness to drive out with us this af-
ternoon. We shall call for you at three
o clock. I wish you and Harriet to be
entirely prepared for the ride when
we come. Young horses do not like to
stand in the cold.”
An impulse she did not stay to de-
fine drew Constance to the window as
the two gentlemen descended the front
steps side by side. Mr. Withers was a
trifle the taller of the two, hut his
figure was angular and unbending;
Edward's supple and elegant, while
scarcely a trace of family likeness ex-
isted between the swarthy visage of the
elder, with Its deep-set eyes, long up-
per lip. and high, narrow forehead,
and the lively glance, clear complexion,
and spirited mouth that made Edward's
physiognomy a goodly sight to more
eyes than those that met the parting
smile he cast up at the parlor window
when he gained the pavement, where-
as Mr. Withers stalked solemnly on,
apparently forgetful already that he
had a home and wife, now that fils face
was set office-ward.
"Shadow and sunshine!" reflected the
gazer. “And they are not more un-
like in countenance than in disposi-
tions. aims and conduct—as dissimilar
as two upright men can be.”
Harriet’s shallow treble sounded at
her elbow like a repetition of the last
thought. "No one would ever take
them to he relatives," she said. “Yet
each is excellent in his way. Don’t
you think so?"
“Yes," answered Constance, moving
away.
"Only their ways are so different!’
persisted the cousin. "1 like Elnathan
best, of course, but Edward is the more
popular man of the two, I believe—isn't
he?”
"I really do not know!" Constance
left the room uttering the falsehood.
Harriet had a trick of making her
intensely uncomfortable whenever the
talk between them turned upon the
brothers.
"I hate comparisons!” she said to her-
self, when she reached her room. "And
it is forward and indelicate in her to
institute them in my hearing."
Convinced that the sudden heat
warming her heart and cheeks was ex
cited by Harriet's impertinence, she
made it her business to stop thinking
of the conversation and Its origin so
soon as she could dismiss It and turn
her attention to pleasanter things,
was more innocent and agreeable work
for instance, to write out Edward's part
of a new duet upon a fair sheet ol
paper which he could hold in his hand
as he stood by her at the piano, the
printed copy being so blurred as to try
his eyes. He was very slightly near
sighted, although a casual acquaintance
would not have suspected it. She
copied music legibly and rapidly, and
lately had hit upon this happy device
of making him some poor return for
the manifold services he had rendered
her. "All that I can do leaves me de
plorably in his debt,” she reasoned. "I
never knew what was the fullness Mid
disinterestedness of a brother’s love un
til I met him. But all brothers are not
so considerate or devoted as is he.

FOR AN EXTRA SESSION.
Ilniina Sayi McKinley Will Call One
praise for Gold Democrats.
New Yobs, Nov. 9.—The World
prints the following authorized inter-
view with Mark Hanna: “I have had
but comparatively brief conversations
with Major McKinley since the elec-
tion. This much I know, he feels he
owes much to the patriotic Democrats
who prefer principle to strict party
ties. Indiana, for instance, was un-
questionably carried against fusion by
Democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great services performed by Dem-
ocratic and independent newspapers
during the campaign. Major McKin-
ley will endeavor to see collected a
great national party that will give
prosperity to the country. He expects
and hopes that men of all shades of
former political belief will be united to
this end. 1 have talked with some of
the most influential of the old Demo-
cratic leaders and I am glad to say
they are in accord with Major McKin-
ley's hopes.
‘‘The first move he will make will be
to obtain sufticient revenue to conduct
the government. Further issues of
bonds would be altogethdr too danger-
ous. Business prosperity and stability
demand that as soon as possible the
government should be on a paying
basis. To this end an extra session of
congress will be necessary-, and Presi-
dent McKinley will undoubtedly call
one soon after his inauguration, Legis-
lation will be required to c -lire the
desired revenue and Mr. McKinley will
do everything in his power to secure it,
us well as the legal establishment of a
olicy which will tend to put every-
ody at work. In all this he hopes
and expects that he will be backed by
patriotic men, regardless of party
lines.
"As for myself, I am not after any
office, and will endeavor to attend to
private business affairs which need my
personal supervision."

happening to overtake a friend, re-
marked; "I dressed in such haste this
morning that I forgot my watch. A
little further on he said: “I wonder
if I have time to go back and get it,”
and as he spoke he pulled out his watch
from his pocket. "No, I have not time,"
he concluded, after consulting the dial,
and he walked on. Nearing the court
house he hired a messenger to go for
the watch, paying him a dollar for the
service. The messenger returned with
the information that the timepiece
could not he found, whereupon the
lawyer exclaimed, looking up from his

at his watch and said: “It makes no
difference, anyhow. I can do without
it. The judge is late and there is plen-
ty of time." And he paid the messen-
ger another dollar.
