Then abo encoun tered a heavy fog whioh, as a dose, white pall, enfolded her, and from which she was not froed until she was a shapeless wreok on the oruel fang llko rooks that jut from Sea Bird Reef. As tho weather grew worso and the sea rose to meet the wlud with vain bu ff alinga, the Rowland girls were compelled to remain in their state room or tho cabins of the ship Their misery must have been terrible tc to them, ileelng as they were from all I hey loved and hold dear, and em barked, aa both know In their con aol f noes, up m anything buta prom Ising or honorable course. Seasick, eousolerci-abrleken, homealck aud loncsomo' both bewailed their fate, nor could the words of encouragement of young Ilazzird, in aoaroe botter plight than themselves, rouse or rally them. To thc th reo fugitives the murk! Inosa and storm without found lt> counterpart In the dread, uncertaint y perplexity and fear which possessen their hearts. Young Qazzard knew that Ie taking L i lu from Loa Angeles so that ah? mig it not testify against against bit fatter ho waa committing not only 8 civil but a moral wrong as well. Hi was foicing tho Kiri to go f.ir fri m hui home and friends, and ho know not what tho future might bring forth a> a result. Illa liter and promise ol marriage might even ho brokei oner; far from danger of pursuit hi knew. M ?bol Rowland felt that she har sinned against her sister in entering up m tho j.lot which was to force hoi <o marry a man for whom she caree nothing. Siie oven suspected thai Hazzird would not keap lila promise* but she had been dazzled by his mn. uer and perauahd by bia argumen to conspire against her sister. Thei i>hn remembered ho.v fa se abo ha< been to her father and mother In lu vere pting letters which had bee] written them concerning Lulu an willoh heeded in time might have pit ven-j':d allot tbia trouble. As for Lulu, her grief and fear fad ly ovsrwheimid ber.

Millar, the Chloago repre sentative of the pickpockets oonvloted reoently and who was himself placed In Jill on the charge of bribing Deputy Sheriff Cathoart, was re|pas< d Tours day on a cash bond of 81 500. The State says Clerk of Court Wa'ker re ceived the orr er from Judge Hydrlok. who is at E go field, Thursday, and word was sent to Millar at once. Ml'? lar apparently had the 81,610 roa y 'or it was at onoo deposited and thu man was released. Ho went to the ? ilumbia hotel and was given room 02, but dd not roglstor and left for Ohiougo Friday morning. Millar b? id that ho would positively no hore in June to stand trial. Hi was askerl if he had any statement to mako. 1 'N >thlng, except that I am not guilty ar d 1 will be here tn June for trial. I havo not been treated right, although 1 have no complaint to make of my treatment at jail, and I will leave for Chicago at once," he said. Millar showed the reporter for Tho State letters from various firma lu Chicigo with whom ho had been em p'oyed af collector, advertising writer ind co nmerchil agent. They reoom ttnndtd him as an honest man of ability, no said fiat he was not a regula lawyer but that he was up on cm: morotai law and that he would come back prepared on orlralnal law In order that he might defend his own case. "Did you ask for ball before Judge lly-irlck? ' bc was asked. "I wanted to give bail In the ?um of $1 00 3 and offered this amount when 1 was in court last Saturday," he said. 'The Jihige took the matter under advlsem no aud sont back au order placing tlie bail at $1 500, which 1 produced at once." "What about that ohowlng gum you gave tlie deputy sheriff?" he was asked. Tho gum, lt will bo reoallcd, j was wrapped In p ipers with the words "Nixe, won't tell," printed thereon. "1 represent a firm putting out this gum and it ls for tho man who occasionally takes a drink and does not wish the odor on his breath. There ls no significance In tho wrap per and I meant no harm in giving it r.o tho deputy sherill. Here ls a pack ago you oj.li have," and Millar pulled out a package of the gum and handed lt to tlie reporter. He would have notblDg furthor to say about tho case and said that he preferred to watt until his return in June. He would not say wuother lie would bring back his client, J. W. Parker, with Ll na. Parker, it will be remembered, was one of the trio arrested J>t tho fair grounds and was released In tho same bond given by Millar. Millar, according to his statement made the motion for ball before Judge Hydrlck, after court had taken a re cess for tho day. Solicitor Timmer man, when hore, gave the impression that the motion was yet to be made and that it would be mads before some other circuit judge. Thc order Thursday, therefore was somewhat of a surprise. SERVt?l) HIM RIGHT. A DAHtardly Tramp Whippet! for Intuiting a I.Mly.

How They May bo Ctaarded Against Marrying fhe Wrong W?suau. A lecturer dramatically lr qui red: "Gan any one In tula room tell me of a perfeot man V" There waa dead al ienee. "Baa any one," he continued, "heard of a perfeot woman?'? Then a patient-looking little woman roso in the baok part of the house and said: "Thoro wa* one, I havo often heard of her but she's dead now. She was my husband's first wife." De prepared for imperil ?tions. No body Is always consistent. Tim man or woman Who never made a mistake ls a myth. Man, aro you looking for an angel? How would you look alongside of an angel? When real life comes to the best and happiest pair, with its trouble and its oave, tho towor of romance will fall, leaving us in the mud-hut of overy-day reality. Man and woman arclike two shells of the oyster-they were made for eaoh other. The man who avoids matrimony on account of the oares of wedded life rivals the wlsacre who seourod him self against corns by having his legs amputated. Some one has said that it is in life as lt is with a kite, it will not fly very high unions lt has a string tying lt down, and so the man who is tied down bv a half dc/,m responsibilities and their mother will make a higher and stronger fight than the bachelor who, having nothing to keep him steady, ls always thundering In the mud. If you want to ascend in the world ti9 yourself to somebody. A orusty old baohelor, hearing that bis friend had gone bl in 1, said: "Let him marry, and If that does not open his eyes, nothing else will." But that sneer has been confuted by tho experience of many blind schol ars like Hood, famous authority on bees, and Fawcett, political eoonomlst of Cambridge and England's most fa mous Postmaster-Qeneral, whoso high ly qualified wives were eyes indeed to their husbands. Marriage remoulds oharaotor, bright ens prospcots, gives faces to clouds, meaning to words, will make the birds sing more sweetly, the sunshine more brightly, elevate your hopes, arouse ambition and give purpose to lifo. It will double Joys and div l ie sorrows. Our Soolal oharlots should be attach ed to the stais of love. All history and experience havo proven that marriage ls the world's Civilizer, the safety valve of business life, the cabinet room where ls devised most of the great things of life. The only permanent builder In the social arrangements is love between man and woman. A wiso marriage leads to tho truest and happiest life. Many men think themselves self made who aro really marriage-made. Napoleon won his greatest victories while Josephine was his wife, and while he loved her. When ?ur coun try's interest hung in tho balance at Valley Forge, Martha "Washnigton hastened to her Qeorge, and urged bim up and on to victory.. Bismarck and Disraeli, who for thirty years were the controlling powers in Euro pean politics, both owned that they owed their success bo their wives. Thousands of wives have boen to their husbands the inspirers of lof cy thoughts, majestic aspirations and sublime purposes. Whether a man shall be made or marred in marriage depends altogeth er upon bis choice of a partner. Solomon, whose matrimonial ven tures, wero rather multitudinous, Sayn: "A prudent wife is frc m thc Lord," leaving us to Inter whore an imprudent one most como from. Wadsworth paints tho woman you want. "A creature not too bright or good For human nature's dally food, The reason llrm, tho temperate will, K II'H.r. imo, foresight, strength and skill; A perfect woman nobly planned, To warn, to comfort and command, And yet a spirit still and bright, With something of an angel light." Don't marry for baauty alone. Soc rates called beauty "a short lived ty ranny," and Theophrastus pronounced it a "a silent cheat." Tho man who marries for beauty alone ia as silly as tho man who would buy a bou io beciuso it had fine flowers In tho front yard. lt takes more than a fair skin, bright eyes, beautiful form and deli cate hands to make a really beautiful vornan. The highest typo of beauty h never merely physical; it is in the outgleamlngs of internal virtues and sweet g rac-ts of character. The heuity that lasts shines in the virtuous life, sweetens tho voice of sympathy, sparkles on the brow of wis lom and ll Ashes in tho eye of love. A lovely soul will glow in the face. The really beautiful woman has a beauty whloh changes not with years, and tl.is ls tho only beauty that can be relied upon for a permanent Influ ence with men. The violet will soon cease to smile. FiO*.ors must fade. Tho love that bas nothing but beauty to sustain it soon withers away. A beautiful woman pleases the oyo, a good woman holds tho heart. The one la a jewol, tho o thor ls a tioasuro. L ink well to tho temper of tho wouir; ^ you think of marrying. Soc rates ?.ld ho "married Xantippe and end ur, 1 her for self-dlsolpllno." The story ls told of him that when his wife gave him a lecture ho walked outside the house, sat down and laughed. This an ger od hor the more; ?ho rushed upstairs and pourod down a micket oi water on ibm. lie walked away andsmllllngly said. "That ls all that you can expect, a showor aftor a thunderstorm." Hut the men who look at tho mat ter In this light aro Uko tho philoso pher himsolf-dead. I am rather inollned to take Solo mon's view of tho matter. "It Is hot ter to dwell In the ojrnor or a house top than with a brawlh g woman in a wido house." John Wesloy's wife used to sit in thc middlo aisle in City Hoad Chapel and, it is said, mado a mouth at him while he preached. On? flay bo was telling his congregation how he had been assallod by hts enemlos and de claring that he had bcon accused of vlolat'ng overy commandment except drunkenness. Whereupon his wife arose and said: "Mr. Wesley, you know you woro drunk." Wesley threw up his bands and ox claime?: "Thank God, tho catalogue ls complete." I / Kl,,' j ' ' / four / Sim', undi / Billi. / BHh i med / Evei / 6aim Wesley's experience, therefore, .en abled him to ?Ive good counsel, a*id when one of his young proachers wrote to him for advice on marriage, saying that he was hesitatir g between two women-one was a prcf.'.sstug Chris tian, but had a torrlble temper, while tho other made no religious profession but had a sweet disposition-Wesley immediately sent back word: ''Mar ry the woman with the sweet disposi tion." Marry a good Iv u ekeeper. Tho atory is told of a teacher of In dians who was reading them the para ble of tho Ten Virgins by tho aid ol an interpreter, AB she read she no ticed a smile on thc faces of her usual ly sobei-vlsnged pupils, and, stopping to ii quire the causo, dlseovend that, owing to the limited vocabulary ol the Indian dialect, which made the same word servo fi r virgin and old maid, the parable as it read through tlie Interpreter was to t.ho elTact tha? "ten old maida lighted their lanterna and wont out to louk for husbands." Woman's eduoatlon one hundret years ago was the Hr :it.ini: of a lantern to enable tho girl to better look for u husband, and her education was li the arts of the kitchen and the parlor and tho obj act of eduoatlon was mere ly to make a useful housewife. Nov* the pendulum has swung to the otho extreme. When men select women for wiv i In quiet homes, where domestic grace.! prevail, the tinery of tho world wll sink into insignificance. The most fascinating women an those who can enrich tho evory-da: moments of li e. The time was when women of th very h:-st society became their hua bands' friends and companions, coi. hidered their interests ldentioal am did not bold them as so muoh fal game for ?raft. They made the! houses homes and not mere passim places for vanity to gi through. Give us women content to he wha God and nature meant them to bc but no, the Ideal life set up by til girl of the period is plenty of fun an luxury. Dress dwarfs her intelligence while virtue gives up the ?Iii st at bc uod; fod to order, she must bo nurse like a baby and kept from a hyslerl cal tit by a sugar plum. It may be a soand dons thing to sa but tho scand.il of fio fact ls .-o muc greater than tho scandal of oonfe.si In? lt tiiat 1 will rink orl:lclsm f> tho statement of the faot thc d< mo tic life of this country is In an appal lng ocnditlon. Many a man has given up all hi? ambition for study, for self-denyln service of his fellowmen, stilled th volco of his conscience when lt dc manded saorltica and devoted himsel to tlie oneobjeotof Kaitlin? the when withal to keep sunshlno lu lils hons by thc unlimited indulgence of a lasl: ion pampered woman's fancies.

Thc state of life Into which it ha pleased God to call our daughters 1 plainly, for tho most part, and whlcl entails tho duties of the housekeepc ind tho home -maker, and for thos littles the learning acquired in tb ic)looks often does much to null them.
