The doctors who had been summoned in swell hot haste had given their decision Sir Jasper had died of disease of t lie heart. There was no need whatever for the formality of an inquest no need for cxaminat ion. They had laid the illustrious statesman the man whose heart had been faithful toone passionate love in state in his own chamber with hangingsof black velvet and wax tapers and the fairest June (lowers atmut him whose hand should never more gather leaf or blossom; and then with lingering looks at the marble face, so grand in its sculptured Inanity, t hey bad left him to the silence that should never more be broken. Veronica sat in her own room, a pretty room that opened on to the western terrace a 100111 where she had till her books, her easel, her piano where she spent happy hours in study and reading. It was half narlor, half lmudoir, as pret t y as it could be made by taste, by art. and by affection. It was dark and gloomy now. with the blinds drawn and the flowers all dead. Veronica sat t here silent, dazed, bewil dered. She si ill wore her evening dress of black lace?she had never changed it; her dark hair hung over her shoulders, the beautifuj face with its passionate sorrow, its untold story, was pale and worn, her eyes looked brighter and darker. What had she not sutfered sitting there-what emotion, what hitter pain, what untold woe? "His daughter!" She came back again and again?to these words "His daughter." The proud noble statesman whom all England revered was her father. Oh, if she could but have known it before! if she had hut had time to pour out the passionate love of her heart to him! If there had but been t hue to tell liiin how proud and happy she was, and how she valued iter hirt bright, how she rejoiced in the knowledge that he was her fat her! So many things were clear to her now. She had never understood his strange manner toward her. half love, half avoidance. One thing after another unveiled itself, so that she almost wondered at last that she had not guessed the secret. And she was Veronica Brandon, heiress of Queen's Chase. She repeated the name over and over agahnto herself "Veronica Brandon" and each 1 line site liked it better. Sin* was heiress of t he grand mansion, of the fair domain, of the broad lands, of all the wonders of wealth she saw around her- slie who had never known the luxury of having one shilling to spend! h was no great wonder if her heart heat and every nerve thrilled with the sudden sense of power and wealth. Henceforth she could do as she liked?she could make every one happy, she could lavish wealth on the things she loved best, she could do untold good. She was roused from her reverie by the ent ranee of Lady Brandon. Looking at her, Veronica realized what she had suffered -her face was quite white, with dark circles round the eyes. She had wept almost incessantly since her husband's death, but now she seemed calm with the calmness of despair. She closed the door, and, coming up to Veronica, took the girl's cold hands in her own and looked earnestly into her face. "Veronica," she asked, "have you kept the secret?" The young girl raisrd her head proudly. "Did you think that I should betray it?" she asked. "1 am not a traitor, Lftdv Brandon." "1 know?1 know: forgive inc for speaking hastily. Veronica, i am almost mad. You cannot realize what I have to suiter?you cannot, understand my position. 1 would rather?these are not wild words, hut true ones?I would rather kill myself than that the world should know how cruelly I have been deceived that I had hut the ashes of my husband's love, that he never cared for me, t hat his heart had heen given to another before me. I could not bear it?I could not survive such a downfall to my pride, my affection, mv standing and position in t he world \ should not survive it." "I am very sorry," said Veronica; "I cannot help it, Lady Brandon: it is not my fault, you know." "Think, too, of Katherinc, my beautiful child, brought up as her father's heiress. All her life she has deemed herself heiress of Queen's Chace her future secure. <>h, Veronica, think what a blow It will prove for her! It will kill her!" And the poor lady's lips quivered again. "Then," she continued, "you do not know my people, 1 he Valdoraines. They are t he proudest people in England: they would I dare not think what they will say or do when they hear that my child is disinherited. I shall never look them in the face again. I wish that 1 had died before this day came." "J am very grieved," said Veronica; "but I cannot help it." "Poor Katherinc so happvin her future! They called her^ctttoss of Queen's Chace when she lay in her cradle. My prettv child, itb not right, it Is not just, i have doffe nothing toli deserve it.

"Yes, ami I meant it." she acknowledged . Lady Ibandon drew still nearer to her. It seemed to Veronica that the breath came in hot gasps from belli ps. "She does not want your life, Veronica; toglvo it would not servo her. Will you serve her as you said you would? Will you let the arrow meant for her heart wound yours?" "Yes," said Veronica, "you know I will." "Will volt save her you t h. her love, her hope? Will you keep her life bright aii(l tmelnudcd? Will you keep her happy,as she litis been? Will you i serve her loyally, faithfully, as you have said?" " Yes," she answered again; and t hen Lady tlraiidoii drew t he girl's ftiee down to her own. "You will do all this?

' You can do it easily enough, if you wisli if you will," declared Lady lirandon. "Who knows of it except you an me? No one. Who knows the secret save you and me? No one. <>h. Veronica, if you would lie true to your promise, t rue to your word, burn the will and forget it." "llut that would he to disobey the wishes of the dead." said Veronica. " It seems to me I am not my own mistress. My my father's commands, his wishes surely I must obey them; surely 1 must carry out his plans?" Lady Brandon stood before her erect. her face eloquent with the passion of her words. "Veronica, make no scruples, raise no doubts, Are you capable of this great sacrifice for Katherine's sake, for her love's sake? It is much to ask, I knwn. Have you the generosity, tlie nobility, the grandeur of soul to make it ? You said you would die for her, my lair-haired darling Would you give life, yet withhold this?" "I am bewildered," replied Veronica, "I do not know how to answer you." "Come \n i 111 me," said Lady Bran* don. "Step lightly, Veronica, my darling is asleep. Conic with me." And the two ladies passed out of Veronica's pretty room together. Lady Brandon led the way to Katherine's room: she opened t lie door gent ly and they entered together. Katherine had exhausted herself with weeping. Her fat her's deat h was t lie lirst t rouble of her life, t he lirst cloud I hat bad ever darkened her sky, the lirst sorrow that had brought burning tears to her eyes. She had exhaust ed herself wit h weeping, and t hen she had t hrown herself onto I lie pretty white bed and wassleeding the sleep of utter weari moss. Her golden liair lay in pictures sque disorder over I lie pillows, one while rounded arm was thrown a) ove her head even in profound shnnhor, her lips quivered and deep sobs came from ihein. She was too exhausted for any sound to reach her now. Lady llrandon took Veronica's hand and led her to t he bedside, "Look," she said "Veronica, see how young and how fair she is; see how Innocent and helpless. Think how she has been loved and cherished. Do not throw her on the mercies of a cold world. Think of her life: do not blight it. Think of her love; do not take it from her. Veronica, if above this tender white breast you saw a sword hanging, you wouId not let it fall, if you saw a hand clutching a dagger add pointing it at that tender heart, you would thrust it aside. Look at her, Veronica, so unconscious of this tragedy. Will you wake her to tell her that you arc going to take her inheritance, her fortune, her happiness ah, even her love from her?" Veronica turned away with a shudder "Come with me again," said Lady lhandon?and this time she led the way to t he room where I he dead slatesman lay. She closed the door, and, holding Veronica's hand 1 ight ly clasp c(i in ncr own, sho led her to his side. "1 have brought you into the solemn presence of the dead, lie who lies t here called I his sin of his a gilded sin. Veronica, he did not foresee, he could not know, 1 he suffering and t he sorrow that would fall upon us. Oh, Veronica, is it just? Is it fair? Why should t his disgrace fall now upon me? 1 lave 1 deserved it? Is it honorable that we should so suddenly be deprived of our own our posit ion, our inheritance, all that life holds most dear? Did you love him, Veronica, this dear dead father?" "Yes," she replied. It seemed to Veronica that all power of speech had left her?that she could not utter the words that rose to her lips. "You did love him; then spare him. You could do nothing so hurt fin to his memory as to let this secret be known. All England revets hhrt now, Ml England does homage to him. lie is numbered amongst the greatest ones of the nation. Oh, Veronica, how they would denounce him. those who have loved him best, if they knew that in very truth he had left his wife and child to bear the brunt and the burden of his concealment! Thcv would blame where they have praised. You will take a hero from his pedestal. You will shadow a grand memory, detract from a fair fame if you tell his secret. And you will gain what? A fortune that you will never enjoy, an inheitanee that, will prove more a curse than a bles^Thg, an inheritance that will be almost a fraud. Veronica, burn that cruel will" "ifut other must know of it," she so id. " No," asserted Lady llrundon; "the lawyer who drew up that will Is dead dead, I tell you.

Veronica rose, sublime in her einot ion; a light that did not seem to lie of tlds world shone on her face. "For your dead father's sake, Veronica!" sobbed Lady Brandon. "1 will doit", s!ie replied. "1 will burn the will, and I will keep the secret until I (lie?and in death 1 will keep it St ill." Lady Brandon rose and drew the girl to her fat Iter's side. "Swear it here," she said! "lay your hands on his breast above his heart here. Now swear t<> me you will never take Katherine's inheritance from her that you will never lay claim to It that you will never betray the secret of \ (mr blft h and parent age." Veronica swore it. "Kiss his lips," cried lady Brandon: "I hey would open to bless you if they could." Veronica kissed his lips. "It will lie between us, father," she said, " this secret of ours." Then fhe started up in alarm. The st I lll/ele lent t?ei>ll liui i?imli fni- I..?#! IirriKloti site had fallen to t lie ground. The servants who eaine toiler help thought she was ill from grief: and they Iiore lier with pitying words to her rhamher. while Veronica went hack to her room like one moving in a trance. Not for long had she heen heiress of (Queen's Chaec not for long had she ealied herself Veronica Brandon, sir Jasper's daughter. All the nobler, higher, better part of her nanature had heen roused by Lady Brandon's passionate appeal. She forgot in her enthusiasm all that the sacrifice would cost her. Sin* remembered only that she was securing Katherlne's happiness and saving her father's fair name. She sat quite st ill and silent, while t he birds sung outside her window, and the sunlight brightened the whole glad world how many hours she never knew. She relieded that her golden dream was over, that she would be Veronica di < 'ynt ha now unt il she died. Then she roused herself. The will must be burned before she saw Lady Brandon again. She would not' read it. That would simply renew her pain, and could not henctlt her. She must destroy it at once. She went to the box in which she had put it away, and took it out. She read, "The last will and testament of Sir Jasper Brandon, Baron of IIurst wood,etc." She kissed t he name, and her tears fell on if*. How could she destroy it? Curiously, instead of being written on paper, it wjik written on tfilek parchment that she could neither tear nor cut. On this lunedav there was no lire smvtviinrn She could not go down to the servant's olllces to burn it there, for slie would be not iced, und harfft might come of it. The only way was to have a Are made in her silt ingroom, and burn it there. The bell was answered by Clara Morton, a pretty girl whom Sir .laspcr had advised her to take us her maid. She carefully placed the will out of sight. and t hen, when t he maid entered, she asked her to light a lire in her room. "A tire," repeated Clara Morton?"a lire here, miss?" " Yes," said Veronica. "lint," objected the girl, "it is so warm il is unite a hot day, miss. I am afraid tint heat will be too much for vou." , "There is no warmth here," stiid Veronica. 1 And the maid, seeing the shudder i that made her young mistress'graceful ligurc tremble, thought perhaps she was really cold. Still it was a , strange thing io ask for on a June day; and more t han once, as (Mara Morton lighted the tire, she said to herself that it. was unnatural, and that there must be some reason for it. Still she obeyed, hut t he tire would not light. < Three or four times it went out, and I each time Veronica had to ring again. | "Mow bent she is on it!" said the girl , to herself. "What can she want a tire for? There is something mysterious about it." ( At last the lire burned brightly; and then Veronica fastened the door and ] took out the will again. She held it in her hands, looking tirst at the ' parchment roll and then at the tlamcs. It seemed to her as though site held ' something living. Wealth, honor; for- i tune, position, the honor of a noble I name these would all perish with the ] document when she laid it. on the flames. Should she destroy it? Was it not like taking the life of some liv- ' ing thing? 1 "I will do it," she said, "not by ' halves, but generously. I make this 1 sacrifice, ana Heaven sees me. 1 make I it to secure my sister's happiness and i to save my father's memory. I make it wit hall my heart in return for their , love for me, and 1 shall never regret. , it." 1 Then she parted the coals and placed , the parchmejnt between them. In a i few moments there was a thick smoke, and, seeing no more of t he parchment, ' Mir i iiuu^iu n was destroyed. She ( watched the thick smoke as it rose: 1 what, did it bear with it of hers? i There was some one at t he door; who could it he? She cried out, "Who is , it?" And Clara Morton answered: "I want you very particulars, if you please. Miss di Cyntha." veronica opened the door, and the girl looked ' wonderinglv into her pale face. i "1 have brought you a cup of tea, < miss," she said: "I thought you want- < ed something." Her quick eve noted , t he heavy smoke in the fireplace: she ( withdrew without a word. In a few moments she was back again. "Miss di Cyntha," she cried, "1 wish you would come to my lady's room; I have i knocked at t lie door several times, and can get no answer. 1 am afraid there is somct hing wrong." And Veronica hastened away, not 1 noticing that she had left the girl in the room behind her. [TO IIK CONTINUKl>] IIkcknt pension legislation lias brought to light the fact that 1,701,004 pension claims have been granted out of 2,824,411 applications made on the ground of injury through services in the union army.

Resolved, That we, the Democracy of Marion County, In convention assembled, endorse his candidacy and commend him to the voters of the State as one qualified to perform the duties of tiie oflloc with credit to himself and tidelity to the State. Whereas, W. Boyd Evans is announced as a candidate for Railroad Commissioner; and, whereas, we, the Democratic voters of the township in which lie was born and reared, knowing lilm to be qualified in every particular to fill the otllce to which he aspires witli credit to himself and honor to the State; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, tiie Democratic voters of Kirby Township, in meeting assembled, do endorse his candidacy, and instruct the delegates elected to the County Convention to oiler suitable resolutions commending him to the citizens of this State for t heir support. The above resolutions were passed unanimously. To the Voters of South Carolina: No public question of recent years lias elicited more common interest in South Carolina, and, indeed, in tiie whole country, than that of the regulation and restriction of great corporations and combinations within the hounds of the law. I \t - * wi uuunu great corporations none have so close a connection with our great material welfare and Interests as do the railroads, as upon them depends our intercourse and commerce with the outer world. They are, indeed, the very fibre of our material growth and development as a State and a people. Iiy the maintenance of just and equitable laws as between our people and the railroads?their public servants?alone can these creatures of the law l>e rendered most serviceable to the State as a whole and assist in the progressive march which the State lists begun, and at the same time, yields the best returns to those who own their stock. In the light of these principles our State lias enacted laws providing for a Railroad Commission, composed of representative men to be elected from her people, whose duty is to regulate and adjust the passenger and freight rates of the respective roads within the State with justice and impartiality, assuring to the people equal rights to all and special privileges to none. That the spirit of tills law may lie fulfilled It is expedient and necessary that this commission, in whose hands lies more of our material welfare and prosperity than In any other department of our government, should Ik; composed, not only of men of the highest integrity, but of education, experience and tried business capacity; men, who by profession and training, are able to cope with the finest business and legal talent that money can buy. Realizing as we do the necessity and utility of the most vigorous administration of the affairs of this Commission and its establishment upon a stable business ami ........? ??? ?v?, muinnfi , that those great etuis can only he obtnincd by maintaining the highest standard in the personnel of its members, we, the undersigned citizens of Marion County, present for your attention the name of Mr. W. Boyd Evans, a man hailing from our midst and whom we lielievc possesses those high attributes which will quaMfy him to meet the obligations of the 3lllcc to which he aspires with the greatest efllciency and honor. VVe feel that a word setting out what manner >f man he is will not he amiss. W. Boyd Evans is the son of a gallant Confederate soldier. lie is esientially a self-made man, for his father lacking the means to bear the jxpense of his college education, he met those expenses himself unaided, by dint of hard work and untiring perseverance. While still at college,Mr. Evans was sleeted against sharp competition to till the position of Secretary of the ludiciary Committee of the Constitutional Convention of and in that position exhibited such marked ability *s to have attracted the attention of Wm. II. Ellerbc, who afterwards, becoming Governor of the State, appointed him as his private Secretary. Mr. Evans held this responsible politico with the utmost satisfaction to Ills chief, and during the last desperate illness of Governor Ellerbc, covering the greater part of a year, during which time the duties and responsibilities of that high ortlce devolved almost entirely upon his should2rs, he acquitted himself with ability mid dignity. During the performance of Miaha arduous duties, however, he found | lime to enter upon and complete the | study of Law at the South Carolina I College, and has since the expiration [)f his term, practiced his profession in Columbia. After the return of our regiments from the war with Spain, Mr. Evans, iliscovering that these soldiers could, under the National laws, claim further awards for their services, entered claims for alxmt fifty thousand dollars with the War Department In Washington for back pay to South Carolina soldiers; of this he collected and turned over to them upwards of twenty thousand dollars, which, but for his sagacity and energy, would have been lost to those brave fellows. For a period of nearly eight years Mr. Evans has been connected, in one capacity or another, with the Legislative Department of our Government, acting as Secretary to the various Committees of the two Houses. Ills residence in Columbia, the headquarters of the Railroad Com ?"V mission, renders Mr. Evans a peculiarly fitting choice for the position to which lie aspires, Inasmuch as It would give the Commission a resident inerai ber at headquarters, thus keeping the ottice always accessible to those having business before it. Moreover, his residence at headquarters would eliminate the matter or costs and expenses in his case, which are incurred hy all non-residents, and must he incurred hy all of the other aspirants for this position, and which, by no means, is an inconsiderable item of the State's burden. In the light .of the facts and reasons enumerated above, as we have no hesitation in recommending, and do recommend gladly, the candidacy of Mr. W. Ho yd Evans. .1. E. Ellerbe, Farmer. .1.
