('lata?" said ' Veronica, when some ten minutes af- i tcrward, she returned to her room. "Lady Hrandon was not even asleep, s and she says that you have never even \ touched the door." t "Is It all right, miss?" asked the girl, as though she were in a state of 5 breathless suspense. "Right! Yes. Lady Hrandon never ( even heard you," said Veronica. t Clara answered that her ladyship 1 must have been asleep but did not like | to say so. s Veronica noticed that the girl's face was flushed and her manner j strange: but she did not think much t of it at the time. Presently Clara 1 uuitted the room, after saying a great j ileal more about t he fright and relat ing 1 an "necdote of a lady whom she knew had been found dead of grief soon after f her husband's death. Then Veronica 1 wondered just a little that she should ( talk so much. As a rule, the girl was respectful and docile. Left alone again, , 1 Veronica would not think of what she had done; that was all forgotten, all past. She was Veronica di Cyntha - s had never been anything else. She t looked into the smoldering lire: the appeared. The papers she nan Kept: . they could not hurt, and she felt that { she would like to look at them from time to time. She went back to Lady Rrandon's room, and clasped her arms around her. "1 have burned it," she said "ii is t all destroyed: and 1 am come to menk tion h for the last time to tell you < m that you may trust me as you would yourself." Lady Hrandon fell weeping on her neck, telling her that she was blessed, thrice blessed, for that she had saved herself and her child from w hat was (l far worse than the bitterness even of e death. "You may intrust your future to me, Veronica," said Lady Hrandon. "1 t have two thousand a year of my own, \ and 1 will settle the half of it on you." So the matter was never mentioned again by Veronica or her father's v widow. The) next day they buried 1 him, and his place knew hiin no more. All England mourned for the dead :i statesman, and never wearied of prais- v ing him, whilst the mant le of his great ness fell upon Lord Wynlcigh. ****** a A year had passed since the death of Sir Jasper.

I BILL ARP S LETTER c ft n III 11 Arp'n lO-wprot For Tradition*, t L Trll'? the Story of William Tell. |j IIow the old people clin? to the 11 itorics and traditions that ehartned " their childhood. C!??od old Mother Akin came to see ine and to comfort ' me in iny sickness. She* has had lier } ihare of trouble, but is always bright ' ind cheerful and brings sunshine with lier. Somehow the story of William Tell came up. and when I remarked that it was now generally set down 1 unong the critics as a myth or a J1 pretty fable she said "she would not '.l read any such heart less scandals nor ' lid she believe them. The world is full ' >f these iconoclasts who break up 1 jvcry idol that we have worshiped. ? I'he story of William Tell is one that J1 is tit to be believed and handed down From generation to generation. Vol- V talre started that fable theory be- ' L'ause he did not like t lie Swiss. Many books have been written on both sides, but the old family traditions 1 that have come down to us for 000 years are still as much the faith of ' the Swiss people as is their religion. !' William Tell is as much today their , national hero and the founder of their republic as Washington is of ours and the little chapel on the lake where he was drowned is still preserved to com-- ! inemorate him." ' Well, whether it is a fact or a.fable it is one of tile prettiest stories ever !j told and ought to lie repeated to the children of every household. 11 was j in the fourteenth century when Aus- , tria had overridden and conquered ' Switzerland and had stationed her ty- ' rant haililTs in every canton to subdue ' and humble the people that one <?essler placed the ducal cap upon a pole in the public place and ordered every one who passed to uncover bis head v_ and how to it. Tell refused and was seized and condemned to death, but as lie was known to be the best bowman in Switzerland lie was ollered the alternative of shooting an apple from , his son's head. The hoy was his idol and lie begged for some other alterna > tivc, but < Jessler refused. Sixty yards was measured oil', the boy stationed < and the apple placed. (Jessler and bis t cohorts looked on while Tell bowed his t knees in prayer. Kisitig he looked to heaven and then let fly the arrow and i pierced the apple in its center. The * boy ran to his father and leaped into ' his arms, and another arrow that had iluinn ?11 1 ' * ?v. v. i vvfuvviuvu rjn UJWMI till* ^ KIUIIU. v "What was that arrow for?" said ' Gesslor. "To shoot you, you brute, t had 1 slairt my son." For t.hat he was condemned to prison and (lesslcr took ' him in a boat on the lake, hut a vlo- v lent storm came up and Tell was un- l chained to steer the boat, lie made i for the shore, leaped to a rock and with a pole shoved the >>oat back into -y the stormy waters. Hurrying along the lake lie procured a how and arrows ? from a countryman and shot (Jessler * as the lK>at passed. "Tell's Leap" and "Toll's I lock" are still known to every t child in Switzerland. Later on he ? lost Ins life while saving a lad from t drowning. What is unreasonable ' about this story? We had a ( Jessler 1 in Home at the elose of the civil war. His name was de la Mesa, a Spaniard who cam^overAp JjtfM (o^na,x;fIl l,?,p < stretched the Hag over the sidewalk 1 and our female Tells (some of whom -s are living yet) would not walk under ' it. but crossed over to the other side.

There appears to he an tin- s necessaiy amount of otlicial mystery (j surrounding tlie payment of the sur- p geons. who attended the late President p McKinlev. In the closing hours of j tile recede session <>r Congress a provi- |( sion was inserted in tlie general dollcienev hill appropriating $4.?,U0() to compensate the McKinley doctors. ^ It was generally understood immcdi- 0 ately after the death of President McKinley that Congress would he , asked to compensate the doctors who |j attended the murdered President. j Not a word of protest went up lrom p the general puldic against such a t proposition, for the Government had t alreddy set up a precedent after Lincoln and Garlicid were assassinated. Pile universal love and sympathy expressed for McKinley would have naturally prevented any opposition to r' I the Government making a reasonable ' I return to tile eminent nnysicians who '' served the nation's chief at Ihiilalo. l| I'nder the circumstances it is not easy to account for the profound sec- n recy wliich has attended every step '* that, has so far been taken to secure V the tl'i.uoo so readily appropriated hy " Congress. All etforts to ascertain how tile money is t ? be divided and how much the various doctors are to reeeive are met with a mysterious shake 11 of the head, and the vacuo statement "J that nothing is to he said on the sub- :t jeet at present. It is an open secret % that the trustees of the McKinley estate, Senator llaima, Scretary Cortelyou and Jud^e Day, former Secretary of State, agreed that a lib- !l eral compensation should he paid the doctors who attended President Mo- 11 Kinlev. That conclusion was reached, notwithstanding a majority if not all 11 of the surgeons in attendiincc publicly announced that they had no intenlion of making any claim cither upon jM the McKinlcy estate or the (iivern- " menl for services rendered at IhitTalo. 1 The trustees, however, concluded that a reasonable allowance should he " paid to tin* doctors, and after much correspondence and consultation with A those interested Senior Allison, chair- J'1 man of tlie committee on appropriations in the Senate, was selected to| introduce an amendment to the deli- ' cien'cy hill appropriating *t."i.ooo.
