Beyond, through the wet. darknesu, she distin- guished the black outline u: awaiting buggy. The hoxse stood, with drooping head, under the rain. She staggered for- warda few steps turther. And as she did so she felt, herselt suddenly lifted by a. powerful arm. Dlmly she was aware of being wrapped in blankets in the Corner m the buggyâ€"of the home start~ ingâ€" then she lost consciousness. The tenison had been too great; at: the criti- cal momens human force had momentar- ily succumbed. “MARTIN.” Genevieve looked down at the absurd opistleâ€"its spelling exhibited occasional deviations from the normal standardâ€"â€" and crushed it. in her hand.

Folding her reboso tightly under her chin, she crept under the blankets, and the flames as they danced revealed only a. formless shadow, from‘ which came the soft regular breaths of ‘ sound sleep.

We imagine that the performers must dwell in the Eggions to yhich they left_ their hearers. Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, whichhlike every crea- tion of art, is mightier than the artist. The meaning of son goes deep. Who is there that, in logica words, can express the effect music has on us? A kind of iuarticulate, unfathomable speech, which leads us to the edge of the mfinite, and lets us for moments gaze into that. The man who hath no music in his soul, but is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treason, stmta- gems and spoils. Music is the only sensual gratification which mankind may indulge in to excess without injury to their moral or religious feelings. Sweetest melodies are those that. are by distance made more sweet. Music is the child of prayer, the com- panion of religion. The soul of art best loved when love is by. Music washes away from the soul the lust of every-day life. heart.

There was the dawn of a great hope in his face. “Why, Cleofas, darlin’,” his voice cracked and broke. “You. not ask me marrying you ?" whispered Cleofas. It was always a. matter of discussion in after years where the courage of 01901312: came in, butAppolyer Longlay never had any dou bus. “My Cousin, Luz, she marrying Juan,” maid Cleoias, looking down. 1 “A wedding! 1, Lord!” groanéd Langley. “You éust like Spanish girl, Senur Taiwn. 1\o grit, no?” “Hulk; is that§6Â¥ “\Vimt. for ‘3" stanr mars Tom, who has never been called Tawn before. “En I said they wasn’t; gritty,” he mutter; “en she knows in, en, of course, she won’t. hev me.

It is a. fiesta.” ’1‘ U girl had not slept long; but they had danced late, and already a. pale mo ing was abroad. Suddenly them came a. slight scratching at the door. The girl sat up in the shadow listening for a moment and then lay back again sleepily. It was some wandering horse or sheep rubbing stealthily along the wall. Then Cleofae remembered the un- boltcd door. As she rose to bolt it, it swung open cautiously and a. head was thrust inâ€"a hideom. shaved head. set on a. thick. {at neck. On the hard, cruel line of the lower jaw there was the white cicatrix of a. wound, which drew up the lip with a shearing twist. To sink down in a crouching, limp heup and throw her reboso aver her face was the girl's in- stinctive act. Through its folds she watched hreathlessly. It was Cuyes. the ‘murderer, who had beaten his wife to 1 death in a. rage. Cleofas had seen him :pass through the streets of Albuqurque l on his way to prison. He had escaped } (rem Santa Fe and come over the moun- } trains in desperate flight. The great brown bags of fleece were tied and marked, and piled on the plat- form for the east-buund freight. The shearez‘s ware eating and dr.nking mon- strously about their camp fire on the malpais, across the Puerco. Appolyer had a good season’s wage in his belt, but his spiri:s were low as he turned his tired puny loose in the corral at. the Grtiz ranch. It was thirty amply surveyed miles from the sheep shearing at Grants to San Miguel, but Longiey’s tough little Navajo pony “couldn’t sleep nowhere else” but in the all out-doors corral of Don Vicente. At least, so his master said. Bur, thia Sawrday nigh-t the shearing was finidled. The last scared, homely, jagged lit rle sheep had a caped the shears, and was huddled under the lee of the. mum. for when the Lord tempers the wind to the sham lamb, He forgets: New Mexico, and the top of Mount Taylor supplies an icy vagiety. “I‘ll go bring him in. Miss Cleofas.” said Longley, cheerfully, and then he caught the girl about the waist and car~ ried her tenderly into the house. Forth- “ ith Clcofai’ speech had failed and her eyes shone darkly into a. face as white as milk. His voice rang out, with pleasant firm- ness: "Hold on, pard.” The man ran on. A little spirit. of opal smoke rose on the air, and the figure by.- came a crumpled brown bundle on the brown earth. The convict, fearing only an enemy from without, closed and bolted thu door, and, withuut a. glance toward the dusky corner where Cleofas was flattened against the floor. threw himself heavily down in front of the dead fire. The chain still fastened to one wrist clanked sharp- ly, and the man jerked at it savagely with an oath. Even in the deadly fear that made her slgin pricklo like a. thousand fiery needles and her limbs feel load-like, Cleofas was an Ortiz still. “Holy Mother,” she prayed “keep me asu mouse. Let me live as if I lpivud not, and save me for the little mandres sake.” Appolyer Longlcy’s dreams had been full of enchanting visions of coquetbish girls appearing under difierent forms, but. all bearing the name of Cleofae. So restless was he in consequence, that. he had risen early to try the famous counter Irritant of the chase. “I will not die like a. miserable sheep,” thought. she; “nor will I knee] and beg for mercy as the littlo wife did, and vain- ly. No, I shall say : ‘Murder me if thou wiltflchou coward; and may thy wretched soul bum in hell forever.’ ” But the convict's head had rolled heav fly on to his breast, and he slept, his breath commg in long waves of exhauaâ€" tiou. Hope grew in the heart of the motégqlezfisppcmtorim the corner. An hour rolled on. Through the win- dow the day was broadening. Cleofas “-gsgfifitf‘vg cold, was juupapent. “He will sleep on and on, like the pig and the wolf that he is.” she thought, indignantly, “and I must wait, his plea.- sure to be killed and eaten. Or he will wake and go far and be freeâ€"he, the wicked one. It shall not be. Dear Jesu, he}p_._"_ _ With her eyes fixed on the face of the convict, the girl began to fold back her rebosu and the twisted blanke‘s. When her limbs were free, with one quick, silent effort, she stood upright. Never once removing her gaze, she followed the shadow of the wall, groping cat-like. her very breath suspended no the faintest flutter of her throat. She has reached the door, and still the murderer sleeps. But, at the slight noise of the slipping bolt. he stirs and turns. With a stifled cry, the girl throws up one slender arm to hide her eyes from the dreadful death she believes so near. An instaut’s silence follows. Fatigue and sleep weigh on the man. body and spirit. Cleofas throws herself against the door, it. swings out, with her into freedom. To have the real Cleofns run into his arms, to have her point gaspingly to a. fleeing figure a. few yards away, and to bring his rifle to his shoulder, were all parts of a. lively and interesting mo- ment.

At dancing assemblies in London, Bath and other places in 1700, gentlemen clmse their partners by the " lutteryuf the fan.” This might outclass the modern “apron and necktie party.” Thu-fans were muf- fled.” and each man took his choice, the owner bewxning his partner. It was am fortunate man who knew his lady’s fun. Such a. method would not be popular in ‘the modem ballroom. In the London Spectator of May, 1711, is given a des- eription of an academy where ladies could be properly trained in the u.~e oi the fan. Such an institution would be; superfluous te-day. The ladies prefer tu‘ be their own teachers in the mystczies which were there taught, “ of the angry flutter. the modest flutter. the timorom. flutter, the confused flutter, the meny flutter and the amorous flutter.” ‘Vith the {an as with the umbrella, possession is nine points of the law.

OPEN RUPTURE nn'rwnnN CHINA AND JAPAN. A despatched received at Shanghai} from Nagasaki, on the southwest side 01‘ the island of liiooâ€"Sioo, Japan, say 5 that a detachment of Corean troops, at the ii.- stigationol the Chinese residents. have attacked the J epitome garrison and been defeated. A later telegram says thata Japanese cruiser and a Uhinese transport havcbeen engaged, and that the cruise: sank the transport. This despatch has been oilicially confirmed. The Brirish consul at Shanghai has received a tele- gram from the British Charge d‘Afl'aires at 'l‘okio, Japan, stating that the J apan- ese have undertaken to regard Shanghai as outside 0: the sphere of operations. The present alarming condition of at- l'airs which has been brewing for some time, reached a criiical stage after the visit of Kim-ok-fiiun to Shanghai and his murder there. 'l'he story of the crime is as follows: On March 27 last three men in the garb of western cwilization, one attended by a Japanese servant, ar- rived at Shanghai in the steamer Saikio Mam from Japan. They called them- selves Japanese subjects, gave Japanese names and took up quarters in 8. Japan- ese. hotel in the foreign settlement. One of the three was liim-okâ€"Kiun. the Corean refugee. Shortly after his arrival he was found lying dead with three revolver bul- ‘lets in his body. 0n the body of the . murdered man was found a card hearing ;the name “Kim-ok-Kiun,” printed in l Roman characters. ’1‘ he murderer pro vcd l to be one Hong-Sjyong-ou, a. German 01 l good position, recently a somewhat pro- minent figure in Parisian society. He was arrested next day by the English detec- tive, but was afterwards acquitted and set free. 0n Kong’s return to Corea alter the murder he was received with honors, while his victim’s body was subjected to mutiliation and public exposure. The fan was a symbol of eErly worship. It was used to keep in ects away from the holy altar. A favorite desion in the Greek Church represented a. six-winged cherub. The Aztecs in Mexico used it. Montezuma. sent to Cortcz gifts of leach- cred fans ornamented with a. sun and moon of polished gold. It was with them an emblem of authority, for they gener- ally placed it in the hand of Ometcutli, the god of Paradise, and of Tutec, the military disciple of Quetzuluohuati. Catherine de Medicis brought fans into use in the French court, and her vain damsels used to have tiny niirrurs inlaid in them. In 1678 the French fashion papers decreed that the fan should he of a aizo corresponding to the width of the ladies’ dresses. This made them solarge as to become unwieldly. The fan which Charlotte Corday carried in her hand when she stabbed the tyrant Marat at h'w bath was mentioned in her trial and is preserved at Gaen, her native town. An eminent. Mason showed a. responsible gentleman a. 'xiew 1y printed list 01 mem- bers of Lexingwu Lodge, No. l, issued aiuce a. recent meeting, remarking as he did so: “Masons are not ‘permxtted to divulge the secrets of the lodge room, and 1 can’t my whether Col.

Breckin- ridge’s name m be missing. Excavations at; Nineveh, Persepolis and elsewhere have brought no lighbrcpre- senmtwns of Assyrian fans. In the time of Sennacherib long-handed fans were an emblem of royalty. An Egyptian fan is now in the mmeum of Boulak, said to have been the prupcrty of Aah-Hobep, and if this is true it must. be thirty-five cen- turies old. A long-handled fan is repre- sented in the triumph of King Burns (1400 B.C.), and Ramoses had twenty- tln'ee princes, each of whom rejoiced in the magnificent title of ‘ Fan Bearer on the left; hand side of §he King.” nu The folded {an is the Japanese emblem of power. It is placed in the hand of the god of happiness. It is carried by J apan- ese gentlemen on the street, who salute each other with it as with a. sword. The open fan is often used as a tray, and a. {an of peculiar shape is presented to a prison- er as a notice of sentence of death. Reaching out to take it he gi was the signal for his own execution. The folded {an is said to have been imporLod to China. from Japan in the tenth century. At the be- ginning of the present era a Chinese metalist beat plates of gold “ as thin as locust wings " and applied themto screen fans. In the Early Days It Had Important Significance.

This is especially confide-nous at present when the industrial arena is so agitated with internal and other dis- sensions. The men in pmfit-é hating in- stitutions readily consent to a. reduction in wages as sou: as it is demonstrated that the old rates cannot prufitably be paid. The English list would be greatly enlarged by including a. Lumber of firms which give their employees in addition to wages a. bonus “not determined before- hand.” The Inter ational Congress in Paris in 1889 decided that technically defined “determination in advance” of the share of profits fur the employers was essential to pmfit-sharlng. This defini- tion is not rigidly followed by the as- sociation in the United States. There were forty-four business failures in the Dominion last week, being a. slight reduction as compared with the previous week, when there were forty-nine, but nearly double the number in the corres- ponding Week of 1893, when the number was twenty-five. Ontario had eighteen failures. There were thirteen failures in Quebec Province. one of which employed a. capital of from $10,000 to $20,000, and three more were for lar er amounts of liabilities than any of t :2 Ontario fail- ures.
