"What could you moan. ('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 year had passed since the death of Sir
Jasper. Lady Hrandon hud spent
it at Queen's Chace. Some had advised
her to go away, to take her n
daughter abroad: but the Chace seemed
to have an attraction for her. When I a

Wynleigh. They were delighted to see c<
liim: it was such a bright, cheerful i
change. Lord Wynleigh was growing v
anxious now alxiut the time of his . j
probation. Lie made Veronica his .
confidante.
"1 know that 1 can trust you," he Ul
said, "because you love Kate so dearly, ul
1 have worked hard this last year and
a half. I have made a position. I r(
have laid the foundation of future
fame and fortune. 1 grant that I have '
made no money; but that does not
matter Kate and 1 understand each
other so well. She knows that if she di
had not one shilling in the world I tl
should love her just the same more, se
if possible: hut we should have to wait si
for years. As it is, I do not see wlij .,|
we should not be married at (ihrisiti.as.
Do you, Veronica?"
How she thanked Heaven in her 11
heart that she had done as she had
that she had sacrificed herself! If.she
had kept her inheritance, t lien Kathe- V;
rine could not have been married. ?|
Lord Wynleigh wondered at t lie light
that came into the girl's l>eautifiil 1
face. How lit t le Veronica dreamed at s".
that moment of all that would come to t>fl
pass lie fore Christinas t ime! la
There had not lH-en t lie least dillicul- ti

fairs, the will that he had made when a
Katherine Hrandon was an infant was C(l
still in the hands of the family solid- )(1
tor everything was ix-rfcct 1\ straightforward.
Lady lhaiidon explained that
she understood Missdi ('yntha'salfairs. :ir
and should cont inue to act as her guardian.
She had loyally kept In r word, w,
and had settled one thousand a year .,|
upon Veronica. She showed her grat i- (jj
t ude toher in a hundred ot her ways:
she was most kind to her: hut the one I !"'

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

"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. '
Then he stretched another across the t
whole street and they walked around ?i
the block. It was not so much of dis- si
respect to the llan a* it was contempt
for the foreigner who unfurled it. lie t
refused to let our wives and daughters *

young men and several young ladies i

the measure was absurd. Mr. Latimer
denounces lawyers, but he makes his

McKINLEY'S DOCTOR BILL. t

It
$15,000 lor 'Mudi* Services. j,
t
A special from Washington W'ednes- j.
day says. 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. A
provision was inserted cxchulmc Dr.
Uixey, of the navy, and the two army
surgeons who assisted the corps of
civilian surgeons and attendants. The
names of 11 if doctors were not included
in the bill, nor is there any oftidal
record obtainable as to how j>j
many doctors arc to be paid or the mi
iimounts they are to receive respcc- pi
lively. There was not one word n,
