Hcforc two weeks had passed Veronica was quite at home at Queen's Chaco. I ..*1(1 \ I i 1:11h 1<hi who hint :il lirst been inclined lo Um>1< upon the whole matter as a misfortune, now tiegan to think othewise. She thought to herself that the next season she would he more popular than ever. She would he mother of one of the fairest blondes and chaperon of one of the most beautiful brunettes. She saw that the two girls would never be rivals, their style differed so greatly, and she began*to take great interest in Veronica. Sire went to her husband and told him that she must have carte blanche for Veronica's wardrobe. "It is all very well," said her ladyship, "to look like a picture; but dressinglike one is unite a different matter. Your ward must dress like ol her people, Sir Jasper. I suppose she can have what money she likes?" "Certainly," replied Sir Jasper: "she is an heiress, I have told you. She must be treated as one;" alio soon afterward he placed in her hands a check for three hundred pounds. "We can arrange later on," he added, "about her yearly allowance at present purchase for her everything that she requires." "llerwants are legion," said Lady Brandon: "she has literally nothing, except a few picturesque old dresses that would look very nice in an old curiosity shop." Lady Brandon set to work at once. She knew loo well the effect of dress to offer to t ransform Veronica Into a fashionable Lnglish lady. Kvcrything she purchased was made after some picturesque Venetian fashion, and Sir Jasper was pleased when he saw it. "You have preserved the unities," he said to his wife, with one of those rare smiles that so altered the expression of his face. As for Veronica herself, she could not underst and such at tent ion. "All t 11 i for inn'" clw. u-lw.n she saw t lie lace, t he silks, I he vclvel s, the thousand little elegancies that make up a lady's toilet fans and slippers, gloves and sunshades. Then Kir.jasper brought her some superb jewels a set of rubies tha' suited her dark loveliness, a set of corals and a suit of diamonds. The girl raised her wondering face to his when he showed them toiler. " Why do you doall t his for me?'' she asked. lie looked down at her. She was looking at him with (lead < iulia'slovelit eves. "Why?" he repeated. "Ilocalise 1 am your guardian. You will know more some day." She took his hand and kissed it in her strange, Impulsive fashion. "You are very good tome, and 1 am very grateful," she said. But it seemed to hinitliat (Hilda's lips had touched him. He shrunk back, pale and trembling. "Never do that again, child." he said?"never again." She glanced at him quickly, not understanding. How should she? "Have I vexed you?" she asked. "1 am sorry for you are so kind." "You have not vexed inc. Veronica," he said. "Why should you havedone so? English people are unused to showing emotion? yours start ten mo. I am pleased that you like the Jewels. I shall be glad to see you wear t hem when your black dresses arc laid aside." By the middle of December Veronica was quite at home. How she loved Katherinc! She had a st range, vague, undefined sentiment altoul Sir Jasper ?a feeling t hat even she herself could not understand. She was grateful to Lady Brandon: she would have done anything for her. But it was Katherinc whom she loved the beautiful, dainty, capricious young heiress? Katherinc, who had been t he lirst love to her. There was something almost pathetic in the way which she followed ncrabout and waited upon her. She would have served her almost on her knees. She wntn.lioil lw.r nvr?r?r waited for her every word. Lady Hrandon was amused by it. Sir Jasper was pained. Slie had been introduced to most of their friends and neighbors; t he beaut iful Venetian girl whose face was a Study, whose voice was like music, was admired by all who saw her. She went with Katharine to till the halls, the soirees, the parties in the neighborhood where they reigned as queens. There was no jealousy, no rivalry between them. How could there be, when Veronica worshiped her hrllliftnt young sister. So Christ mas came, and it was, as usual, kept up in right good English style at Queen's Chaee. Every man, woman, and child on the estate was the happier for Its coining, and richer. Sir Jasper was most liberal. The friends had Invited came, and amongst them was Alton, Lord \Vynlelgh, who had decided noLlo leave Queen's Chace until lie liwNtfoflrJthe hand of its heiress. Jle conqijert/i after a fewdays' hard (lovely, wilful girl had plight^cner troth to him, and he knew that she would keep it sacred until death. It was a pretty love-story, coming to a crisis Oil Christmas-eve, as he held her under the mistletoe and demanded the forfeit. "Give me something else, Kate," lie said. "A kiss from you is indeed a not on love fi pWW| Wr?i\ arms MRou salci' Yes' inn n r ^Jed you too muVfliaand pray^H^^Tc;:;'" ! of ^Trt to pray, yon might think I cared ibout your fortune; hut 1 do not." 1 ant sure you do not," she vended. My darling," he said, drawing her nearer to him, "you trust me; you shall see that your trust is not in vain. Will you he my wife, Kate?" The answer this time must have satislied him, for lie kissed the Upson which it t rem pled, murmuring words that were sweet est musie to Kat herine. "I.shall work for you, Kate," he said "mv Kate, t he honniest Kate in Christendom. 1 will not ask you to marry mo until I have made a position worthy'of your fat her's daughter. I have led a useless life, hut it shall bO useless no more. I will work for you. Men shall never sav I married an heiress for her money. Kate, your sweet love has made a man of me. Tomorrow w ill be Christmas-day, and In the morning I shall go to your father and tell him. Will he give you to me, Kate" "I hope so," she replied quiet ly. "lie would do anyt hing to make me happy." That was why Sir Jasper sat on Christmas morning as the gay hells were ringing, with saddened eyes and darkening face, whllo the great heart of the world heat high with joy. Lord Wynleigh had waited upon iiiin to make his formal request for his daughter's hand. Sir Jasper listened kindly he had a great liking for the gallant, handsome, young lover. "What am I tosavtovou, WvnloighV M .. A -I. .. i i?i > wiiii^nirr mis many Minors. I should like her to marry the one she loves befit." "That is myself. Sir Jasper," he replied proudly. Sir Jasper smiled. "You 111i11!< so. Well, there is one remark I must make. So far as regards'worldly goods' you are certainnot the most eligble lover." " Never mind t hat. Sir Jasper." said Lord Wynlcigh. "I know it and am going to remedy it. Do not imagine that I am saying to you, (Jive me your daughter now at onee my hands are empty, hut she will till them. It is not that, I say Give me the hope of one day calling Kalherinc my wife, and 1 will set to work at once. I will make such a name that I shall not he ashamed to ask her to share it. Will you say 1 Yes.' Sir Jasper?" "You speak bravely. You arc sure my daughter loves you?" "Kate says so," the young man replied, "and she never speaks falsely." "Then I give my consent," said Sir Jasper. "I'mt Katherinc is too young to marry yet. She must, wait ayearoi two. The child is but just seventeen. Gome back in too year' time, to claim her, if in t he meantime you have made a position for yourself. I do not care that you should make money, but I d< care for the other." " I will do it, Sir Jasper." he replied "and you will lu-lp inc. I shall si,inly under you help in? with your flnfluunco. There is a borough vacant now, Help ine to place my foot on the tlrst rung of tho ladder, and 1 will ncvei cease until I reach the top." Longafter Lord Wynleigh had left him Sir Jasper sat silent and motionless, listening to t lie sound oft he joy bells ? listening to the music and laughter which tilled the old Cluice. What was he to do? When tin- sanguine young lover left him,dark and hit ter t houghts came to him. He was an Knglislunan, with a hat red of all fraud and deceit. What COUld he do? He could never allow Lord Wynleigh to marry Kate under t he impression that she was heiress to t he grand domain of Queen's Chace and Hurst wood. She was not so in reality. All his broad lands belonged by rigid to his elder child, the beautiful (lark-eyed Veronica. He fore Lord Wynleigh married Kate he must know the truth. Sir Jasper rose from his seat. "1 am a brave man, and a strong man," he said; "but i would rather face death than tell my story now." It seemed so far away to the middleaged statesman, t he story of hisyout h the mad love that had altered 11is w hole life. It would be profanation to him to hear (Hilda's name mentioned now. He could imagine t he sneers, the comments that would follow. The Opposition journals would lie sure to get hold of it , and hold up, to public ridicule the oik; treasured poem of his heart, lie could not bear it. Come what might, he would, he tuns! keep |\ ie cuwit'ot ?? is# < 1 l * * ,.?iav.uri .>^1 ?i m i ic iuiiK?*r; ?vn(i in i no meantime lie would have his will prepared a will in which I he t rut li should he told, and (Queen's t'haee, with all t he broad lands round Hurst wood tfiven to his daughter Veronica. At t he same time In- would put all the papers that went to prove her identity into one packet, and give them to her. Why, because her mother was dead, should he rob her of her birthright? What could he do to atone to her for her long cheerless youth, her cold, joyless life, lie could not defraud (Hilda's child. If iic coiiiu nave divided I lie inheritance, all would have been well, but that was impossible. In the Brandon family, where there was no male heir, the eldest daughter succeeded to the barony, to the l itIt* and estates: and there had been several baronesses. Therefore the inheritance must go to his eldest daughter. That was Veronica. What would i hose proud Valdoralnes liie proudest people in England say to him when they heard that Katlicrine was not not his heiress after all? Katherine Ih-andon's name was known all over England. Sir Jasper was at a loss. 11 is sense of just ice and his love Of right, bis love and bis pride, bis honesty and his sensit ive reserve were all at war. There was but one gleam of comfort. The marriage between Lord Wynleigh and Katherine would not take ppiee vet. Some unforeseen combination of circumstances might t akc place before t lien. "It is not quite the kind of marriage that 1 expected for Katherine," said Lady Brandon when her husband sent for her to tell her. "St ill 1 shall make no opposition t here is a chance, as you know." "What chance?" asked Sir Jasper. "They tell me that the young marquis is not only very unsteady, but that he is certainly in declining health," said Lady Brandon, "if it should lie so, then Alton will be Earlo of Wood> - . ? jL.

Now I see how beautiful English women can lie." "I am always beautiful in your eyes, Veronica," she replied. They were standing side by side, Katherine all bright and radiant, Veronica, in her pale, passionate beauty, in a long trailing black dress. The contrast between t hem was start ling. " 1 have something to tell von, V eronica," she said. " Never mind admiring my dress, never mind my diamonds look at my face." "I am looking at it, my darling," returned Veronica. "Does it tell you anything?" asked Katherine, with the low sweet iaughIer of perfect content. "Only thilt it is the dearest face In the world." replied Veronica, kissing the laughing hps. "Veronica." said Katherine, "whom at I his moment should you consider t he very happiest girl in .ill the world?" "The very happiest of all? oil, how could 1 tell?" "I will tell you?

"I low wonderful how s! range!" "Nay, it is not strange, Veronica. 1 love liiin he love me. Can you guess who it Is?" Slowly the dark eyes wandered over the bright face; and then sad Veronica answered "It must he Lord Wynleigh." "Yes,'.said Katherine, simply, "it is Lord Wynleigh; and I am not one of tho happiest, but the happiest girl in all the world. Nevertheless! tell myself that such great Joy asinine cannot last that a time will come when I must suiter and ween and grieve as other people do. Will it he so?" She looked wistfully at Veronica 08 she spoke. "1 have read." she said, "of slops safe enough to sail in when the sea is calm, hut sure to sink when the storm comes on. I think 1 should he like one of t hose ships I should go down in t he tirst storm." " We will hope t hen t hat a st or in will never come," put in Veronica. "If it depended on me there never should," she added. "St ill t here is one t hing 1 can safely promise you one t hing t hat I will do. If ever it lies in my power ' to save you from sorrow, I will do it; if ever it lies In my power to give you i happiness, I wl'l give it to you." : And tin; time came when the ' memory of t hose words weighed down > the balance in which she held both lives. , [TO HK CONTINUKIt] A lloWlillg \VII<l?TII('Ntt.

Ills career began with the war, and he was never absent lint once from his post, and then because incapacitated from duty. In 1881 he was chosen as the Democratic candidate for congress in the "ltlack District" to redeem the lower section of the State from negro rule, and after 18 years of constant lighting he has redeemed it. During his service in congress he has fought persistently to get for his dist rict and State u inn Miiirr hi puDiic appropriations, i and thi> money lie has brought to his district from the national treasury amounts to many millions of dollars: and all of it for purposes most hem tidal to the people.

In the at> tickon Fort Sumter in April, 18(11, lie served with the Palmetto Guard in the Iron Clad battery on Morris island, and with them occupied Port Sumter on the night of its surrender. Immediately afterwards Col. ICIliott joined Kershaw's regiment in Virginia. as lirst lieutenant of the I .rooks Guards of Charleston, and took part in the lirst battle of Manassas, the campaign on the peninsula and all the other service of that splendid regiment during the lirst year of the war. In 1 x??l! with the brooks artillery or llhctt's battery, and witli it lie went through the seven days' tight, second Manassas, Sharpsburg and the lirst battle of Fredericksburg. lie was promoted captain and ordered to Yicksburg as assistant adjutant general to Gen.

Lee of South Carolina: participated in the Yicksburg campaign, in the battle of I taker's creek, in which his horse was killed, and in the 48 days' siege of Yicksburg was specially assigned as artillery olllcer to dislodge the enemy by hand grenades, improvised from artillery shells, from the ditch of a fort which had been caplured during Gen.

On the day after the battle of Nashville he fought with the rear guard at Franklin and the other desperate lighting of that terrible day, Including a hand-to-hand encounter with the enemy's cavalry; was transferred to North Carolina and was in t he hatties of Kinston and Mcntonvillc, in which latter he was severely wounded. This is a record which speaks for itself. KIUUT1NO TIIK NKOHO. From 187t> to 1881 Col. Elliott was county chairman of Iicaufort county. In 1881 it became necessary to make a light in the Seventh congressional district against the negroes, but was defeated. In 188U he was again opposed in the election Robert Smalls, and Col. Elliott was eleoted. Rioting occurred constantly in the elections and the precinct managers at Illlton Head and St. Helena were mobbed by the negroes, who had become most insolent. Smalls contested the election. This meant that testimony as to the fairness of the election had to he taken during t hree months in every county of the district at the same time. Then printed arguments, compiled from the 1,000 or more printed pages of testimony, had to be tiled with the committee on elections, then argued before them, and dually fought out on the lloor of the house. Col. Klliott won the contest. Then Tom Miller opposed him and Col. Elliot was elected only to have another contested election before the house of representatives. in 1888 Tom Miller again fought him and in the contest Miller was seated. In 181)0 Col. 1011 iott was elected and won the contest, but was not a candidate in 1892, when Murray was elected. Hut the negro success was short, lu 1891 Col. Elliott was elected, and had a contested election again. Murray was seated and given $10,000 by Ileed's congress, which he used in the approaching compalgn. Hut Col. Elliott was once more elected, and forced a llepubliean house to recognize the fairness and justness of bis election, in 1808 Murray lost the election and again contested the scat in congress. in 1000 a negro named Heckett. was the llepubliean candidate and, after bringing a contest, abandoned it. Thus, after 18 years of relentless, laborious and expensive lighting, Col. Elliott reclaimed the district composed of the coast counties from negro rule, and now has an uncontested seat in congress for the lirst time. Col. Elliott is today a poorer man than he was in 188i. IMS WOKK IN CONGUKHS. It is an axiom in congress that a man with a contest can accomplish little for his district. Yet, despite 1(1 years of contested elections, what Col. Elliott has accomplished for ills district and State equals the work of any member of congress in the United States. I mention but some of his larger I MH|H works of a material kind: He had passed the amendment to tlu: direct lax refunding act, appropriating *500,[)00 to reimburse the people ot Ifeaufoit for a part of their losses under the direct tax act of congress passed during 1 he war. In order that the money should not be wasted in exlu rhilaut fees he volunteered to do, and did all the legal work necessary to serine the same from the treasury, taking all the testimony, thereby saving his people thousands of dollars in expenses. lie procured an appropriation of *.100.000 to build a dry dock at l'ort lloyal, and has assisted in procuring hundreds of thousands ot dollars in improving the place. lie obtained appropriations of about **2,500,000 to deepen flic bar of Win yah bay, thereby alfording an outlet to the ocean to the following rivers: Woccamaw, Lumber. Circat Poo Dee, Littlo PcQ Dee. Clark, Lynch, Mingo, I flack, Wateree, Congarce, Santeeand the Sainpit and also numerous appropriations for these rivers. lie had established in Charleston a new light house depot at a cost of *.'15,000; had the llrst garrison ordered to Charleston; was most active in get-1 ting the appropriation for building the line quarters on Sullivan's Island: procured *10,000 for a public building at (Jeorgetown, and secured trom a hostile house *00,000 for the Charleston exposition, also $.'100,000.00 at various times for Charleston harbor and *.'10.000 for the inland route from there to lleaufort, and helped get *50,000 for the route north of Charleston. fl iimt i'lint'i' Col. Elliott was the first man in public life in this State to advise the farmers to combine against the cotton bagging t rust, a movement which finally resulted in the defeat of that trust. Col. Elliott is a prominent member of the Judiciary committee, one of the most important and inllucntial commit te< s of the house. If Col. Elliott is sent to the senate, the State of South Carolina will have a senator whose life is without a blemish, whose political record of 20 odd years is unspotted, whose service in war was long and conspicuous, and above all a seasoned and well-trained legislator, whose accumulated experience of Hi years in congress will be an asse.t to the State which it would take years for a new man to acquire. Above all lie is a man whose honor, character and reputation arc above reproach. Democrat Relinking Roosevelt. We have read in northern newspapers and from many prominent northern men severe criticism of President Roosevelt's display of narrow scet ionalism in his I )ceorat ion day speech. There are many persons in the north who love the union and glory in the valor of the men who fought for It, but are not willing to be judged by the president's standard of patriotism in this day and generation. We have seen no better rebuke of the president for his unfortunate utterances at Arlington than we find in a leading editorial of the Portland Oregonian, one of the most notable newspapers011 the Pacific coast. I'rom it we quote these noble words: "The time is past with thoughtful men when on Memorial day we think only of the I'nion dead in the restricted sense which refers only to those who fell in defense of the stars and I stripes, in the enlarged licld of historical vision that, has at last come into our possession, we cannot help thinking of the dead of hotli sides; tlie illustrious ohscurc who by t housandson both sides fought with equal tenacity and c<|ual valor. Thoughtful men have learned long ago to abstain from hitter, undiscriminating denunciation of the gerat civic and military leaders of the Southern Confederacy. We know today that nothing hut the news of peace prevented New Lngland from secession in 1811. We know that Lee and Longstrcet and .Foe Johnston bore arms against | the I'nion not because tliey were secessionists, but because blood was thicker than water." They could not tire upon their domestic altars, upon their neighbor's cornfields and their kinsmen. We know that Lee as st rongly disapproved of slavery as did Washington; we know that the north was equally responsible wit h the south for the planting of slavery within the constitution and its national protection. We know that the south, if capacity for unstinting sacrifice of its best blood and t reasure and endurance of extreme hardship be the test of earnest pat riotism, was as pat riotic at least, as the nort h. Many of the Confederate soldiers who fell in the last assault upon Lee's lines before Petersburg had nothing hut 'goobers' (peanuts) in their haversacks. Nothing could excel the valor with which the tattered remnant, of Lee's famished army fought up to the hour of surrender. When we remember all these things today, it is impossible not to uiiiiik 01 tne uonrcaeratc dead as well as the Union dead with equal respect if not equal gratitude." I low far are these sentiments, asks the Atlanta Journal, from the plane upon which President Koosevclt stood as he waved the bloody shirt on the heights of Arlington. For the first time since the civil war, and when the echo of its last shot lias been dead more than thirty-six years, we havo a president of the United States speaking in a way that is likely to revive sectional bitterness. It is creditable to the country that it did not admire the spectacle. Heady to Yieald. ''1 used Do Wit t's Witch Hazel Salve for piles and found it a certain cure," says S. It.
