Immigration Convention.
The Southern Immigration conven?
tion met at Hot Springs, N. C , April
25th, at the Mountain Park hotel and
was called to order by Major J. B. Kei?
ly, of New York. Governor Fitzbugh
Lee, of Virginia was elected permanent
chairman, and Luther R. Ranson, of
South Carolina, permanent secretary.
On the platform with Governor Lee
were His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore; Archbishop Elder, Cin?
cinnati, Governor John B bordon.
Georgia; Gov. John P. Richardson, of
South Carolina; Major J. D. Keily,
of New York and others. Governor
Lee, in his brief address, accepted the
honor conferred upon him, and spoke of
the absence of Gov. Scales, of North
Carolina, who wa? unable to be present
on account of a previous engagement.
He stated that Col. Wm Johnston, of
Charlotte, N G., would represent that
State in the convention. Col. John?
ston made a few remarks, cordially in*
vi ting and welcoming the members of
the convention to the State. He regret?
ted that Gov Scales could" not be pres
I ent but a warm, true North Carolina
I welcome was tendered to all
I Bishop Becker, of Savannah, Ga..
! thea read resolutions drafted by the
j Commissioners of Agriculture of Eleven
j States, extending invitations to i ai IE i -
i' grants. He also tendered an invitation
j of citizens of Asheville to members of
> the convention to visit that town. Robt,
i M Furmao, of Asheville, urged the
! acceptance of the invitation, and it was
accepted.
The ctiy of Knoxville, Tenn.,
through Hon. J. C. Luttrell, extended
an invitation, and it was also accepted.
Mr. King, of Tennessee, moved that a
recess of ten minutes be taken to ascer?
tain the oa?es of delegates from differ?
ent States. The motton was carried
and. the convention took the recess.
~'t0p?ii reassembling large delegations
from North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia,
Tennessee, Florida and South Carolina
were reported present. Committees on
resolutions and busioess from each
State were read to the convention. His
eminence Cardinal Gibbous was present
to the convention. He said : 'I am
grateful to the gentlemen composing
this convention for the honor conferred
upon me and the courtesy extended. I
came here to encourage as far as I can
the objects of the meeting. I have
traveled nearly over b</th hemisphercp
recently, with both eyes open. As the
result of my observation ? can say that
the United States gives to immigrants
such advantages as can not be obtained
in the old countries. I have found
everywhere great prosperity in the
Union. I have found that this is due
to the indomitable energy of the Ameri?
can people. I wish every success to
this movement. The climate of the
South will allow every laboring mau
to work 300 of the 365 days in the
year/ He then spoke of the great, re?
sources of the South and its bidden
wealth. He referred to the hospitality
aud general warmth of the South's
people. He had lived in the Sooth, he
said, and its people were like ?ts climate,
warm and genial. He was interested in
immigration to the Southern States and .
those who did come would look UDon
this as a red letter day io the history of
the South.
The Cardinal's speech was received
, with great enthusiasm Bishop Kain,
of Wheeling, was the next speaker,
ile looked upoo this as an occasion of
great importance. He had been born
and reared beneath the genial skies of
the Southern States. His heart was
wrapped up io the South. He was
deeply interested io the movement.
He would suggest the establishment of
colonies all over the South.
Bishop Northrop, of Charleston,
was interested in the movement and
wished to get to business. He had no
speech to make.
Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
then made a very eloquent and interest?
ing address favoring the movement and
tendering his aid. He said 'there is
more wealth in the minerals within 150
miles of this spot than anywhere on
earth.' He wished the movement God
speed.
Gov. Richardson, of South Carolina,
theo spoke of the good feeling that ex
I isted in bis State and of the grand wei- ;
j come it would give to emigrants, and ?
j said that his State would challenge any
progress.
Major Neeley, the inaugurator of this
! movement, was appointed chairman of
j the different committees, on busioess.
j The convention adopted the following
j resolutions :
i 'Resolved, That ao immigration asso
; ciation be established, with headquarters
j in the city of New York, to bc styled
I 'The Southern Immigration Associa
j doa.'
'Resolved, That this association be
j placed under the? charge of a Board of
: Directors composed of ooo member from
: each SoutLern railroad or other corpora?
tion, trade, industrial or other organiza
! tion, in Stafe, county, city or town situ
! ated east of the Mississippi river that
j will contribute the sum of ?1,000 to?
wards said association on or before July
1st next; and that on the second Tues?
day of July, 1888, the board so consti?
tuted shall meet in New York and pro?
ceed to organize and adopt such by-laws,
j rules and regulations as may be neces
! sary for its government
'Resolved, That until said organiza?
tion is perfected Major John D. Keily,
I Jr., be constituted chief of the associa
j tion with power to call thc board to
pether whenever sai?! contributions from
railroads or other corporations, trade,
iodtistrial or other organisations of State,
cities, counties and towns, shall have
reached the aggregate sum of $20,000 ;
and when such call bas bien made the
board of directors shall proceed immedi?
ately to perfect a permanent organiza?
tion as provided for in the second resolu?
tion herewith submitted.
.Resolved, That immdiately upon the
Eidopotion of these resolutions the secre?
tary of the convention shall give notice
of the same to the Governor of each of
the Southern StateB and to the president
of each of the Southern Railroads, and
to the Mayor of every city and to every
town in the Southern States east of the
Mississippi river having a population of
5,000 or more, and to solicit the co ope?
ration <>f said officers in furthering the
objects of this convention.'
The South Carolina delegation to the
Hot Springs Immigration Convention
held a meeting on the train returning
from the convention, Lieutenant-Gov?
ernor Mauldin in the chair.
On motion of Mr Beattie of Green?
ville, the delegation adopted a resolu?
tion urging upon the cities, towns, rail?
roads, Boards of Trade and other indus?
trial organizations the importance of
holding early meetings for the purpose
Df raising the subscriptions needed to
entitle them to representation on the
Board of Directors of the Southern Im?
migration Convention :
After a full discussion, (he delegation
unanimously united in the following'let?
ter to the Board of Agriculture, which
is signed by all of the delegates from
South Carolina except two, who had re?
turned home and could not be communi?
cated with on the subject :

'Hon. Johnson Ila good. Chairman

\DBAK SIR : The undersigned dele?
gates, representing the State of South
Carolina at the Immigration Conven?
tion, hi*!d at Hot Springs, N C., April
24 and 25 inst., respectfully submit
that it will be greatly to the advantage
of the State to demonstrate at the
earliest possible day its sympathies
with the purposes of the convention
and its determination to take an active
part in making the Southern Immigra?
tion Association entirely successful.
.To this end the undersigned respect
folly request that your Board will ap- I
propriate the sum of ?1.000 to coosti- ,
tute the State of South Carolina,
through the Department of Agriculture,
a member of the Association This
will show unmistakably the zeal of
South Carolina in the cause, and will
give the State, in the person of the
Director who shall be chosen, a voice in
the organisation and management of
the Association from the very begin?
ning.
.The undersigned think this a matter,
of the greatest importance to the whole
State, or they would not address you
upon a subject which was sure to com?
mend itself to your earnest and early
attention.'

There will be no L? position to the
nomination and re-election of Solicitor
Nelson, at least in this county, and if
the best element io Edgefield is pleased
with Col. Nelson's discharge of his duty,
why the balauce of mankind ought to
be, we think. A Camden correspond?
ent of the News and Courier, thus
speaks of the matter, showing that the
Solicitor is appreciated at home as well
as abroad :
'The constituents of Solicitor Nelson,
in Kershaw County, are all- satisfied
with the way in which he has discharg?
ed the duties of hts office aod they are
pleased at the fact that he will allow his
nome to go before the voters of his dis?

nomination.
Two Opinions.
Anderson Intelligencer
At the meeting of our County Demo?
cratic Executive Committee last Tues?
day, Capt. John W. Daniels was unan?
imously endorsed for Secretary of State,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of W. Z Leitner Before his frieuds
had time to get his uatue before the
Governor, who fills tho vacancy by ap?
pointment, his Excellency had appoint?
ed Mr. J. Q. Marshall, of Columbia.
The haste in making the appointment ia
considered by our citizens as hardly
fair It gave an undue advantage tc
aspirants who lived ic and near Colum?
bia, and shut out the man of Auderson
County's choice, without even a chance
of bearing. All we ask is a fair show,
and if we don't bring out as good a
man as toe State affords, let us fail;
We tiiink the appointment was 'a little
too previous.'

rebuke to the office seekers who ar?
wont to scramble for the dead man'i

A Needed Change.
Abbeville Medium.
The Chester Reporter has a timelj
editorial about the composition of oui
Democratic State Conventions an
vocates a cbaoge in the make-c
these bodies. These couvention
now constituted are made up of di
the Dumber of representatives in
branches of the General Assembly
the several counties. This gives I
fort with a very small Democratic
equal power with Anderson. The
resentation is according to popuh
and not in proportion to Democ
strength.
The subject is not a new one t
We made the same point during 4
Hagood's candidacy for the Govei
ship. The matter should have
corrected at that date but from indi
ence the inequality has been perm
to continue. It is, however, not
late to do right now.
As the matter now stands Charle
bas a preponderating influence lo w
she is not entitled. Berkeley sh
be counted in with Charleston but
baa a heavy representation of bert
based upon population and not t
Democratic strength.
The change would work no injur
any section It would only be a
and just equalisation of Democratic
resentation.
?.
How Best to Nominate.
Columbia Register.
The main idea of those who desi
primary is to have the voice of a
jority of the people heard in the nt
nation of State officers. This is also
sired by everybody outside of tricks
and riogsters, if any such there
But a State primary, in the sense
aggregating all the votes cast, is
practicable and is in use nowhere.
The Register promised to si?gge
plan of nomination. If will now do
though it has to some extent been
ticipated by the Laurensville Hen
It accepts the Herald's plan as a g
basis to build on, and will elaborate
The Herald wishes the people of e
county to send delegates pledged t
given candidate, so that the pop?,
choice may be known before the c
vention meets.
The Greenville News objects tha
is not enough to speak out on the chi
of Governor alone. Delegates to
convention will still be suffered to sv
and log-roll for other candidates.
Here is one of several plans t.
occur to the Register. It is based
the Georgia plan as outlined by
Herald, but obviates the very pertin
objection of the Greenville News.
In each county convention let d(
gates to the State Convention be elec
as at present, preserving the relat
numbers as at present. Then let i
convention enter into a ballot for St
officers. For any office the candid
receiving the highest vote is first choi
the next highest second choice, and
on. In this way the couvention bars I
a chance of expressing its views as
each candidate for every office. Thii
equivalent to the first primary, and,
deed, if counties so desire, they can <
press this choice by popular election
tue county instead of by convention.
When the State Convention meet*
will Droceed to ballot. The lowest ci
didate is dropped after each ballot a
j bis votes are transferred to the n<
choice of the respective counties tl
had supported him. In this way, wh
two candidates app?ar for an office, 1
one ballot will be necessary; wh
three candidates appear, not more th
two ballots ; when four candidates, t
more than three, and so on. Deadloc
will be absolutely prevented.
This is a simple plan-simpler ev
in actual practice than it appears to
on paper. Let us .suppose that tbt
I are four candidates for an office, a
tba' the aggregates stand thus, out
100 votes :
First choice-A 35, B 30, C 2
D 15
Second choice-A 20, B 30, C 3
D 20.
Third choice-A 25, B 35, C 3
D10.
Fourth choice-A 10, B 50, C 2
D 20.
The convention meets. After tl
first ballot D is dropped ard bis 15 vot
go to the second choice of the counti
that sent those votes-say to A 5, to
5, and to C 5.
The second ballot, then, will grant
A 40, B 35 and C 25. Then C w
be dropped. Assuming that of bis ?
votes 13 are for A for third choice at
12 for B, it will follow ou the thii
.ballot that A will be chosen.
This changing of delegates occurs
all conventions when candidates dre
out, except that hythe plan here chose
the second choice bas been determine
by the people, and not by swapping i
thc convention.
Practically-and we call special a
tention to this feature, since it is know
beforehand exactly how each ballot wi
stand, and, consequently, who will 1
elected-all the candidates except til
one who will finally come out victor wi
decline to ruu, and the convention wi
nominate unanimously, or at least afte
one ballot for each office.
The end sought has been achieved
and the people wiil be satisfied.
The ba?te and ease with which car
didates for minor offices are slaughtere
io a convention when resentments ar
beginning to work are absolutely cruel
Some stop should be put to this. An
' j inasmuch as no open primary electio
j ts feasible, the Register offers Us meas
' ? ure as a remedy. The different chango
of the delegates are prescribed befor
1 j any wounds begin to rankle and an
' I wrongs arise to be avenged,
j Under this plau each county send
! its delegates to vote as a unit.
Another plan will be to divide th
1 ! delegations proportionately to the vote
' I received by each candidate before lb
! j county convention. This plan wuu!<
j not provide far second choice, and i
j therefore objectionable. The plan pro
5 i posed is not absolutely original. If th
. I Register docs not err, it has airead]
" I be<:n satibfactorily tried in its mail
" ! features. Its practicability is unques
1 j tionable. Details may be arrang?e
! j hereafter.
* j Thc Register hopes that those wh<
' j desire nominations of State officers bj
primary will consider the plan in n<
i partisan spirit. It offers the simples
means of securing their choice.
Those who prefer the old system o
r j convention eau consider this as th<
r 1 baflis of a compromise? Thc Registci
bas Dot opposed a State convention,
and sees no special necessity for change,
but is willing to try tbis plan.

Tho "Self tlmlted" Disease*.
The nature of the cause of a given dis?
ease has much to do with its duration.
In the so called essential fevers, such as
typhus, typhoid, relapsing and yellow
fever, the cause is a minute vegetable
organism that seems to attain its full de?
velopment within a very short time, after
which it produces its progeny and dies.
There is no more chance of one of them
becoming chronic than there is of raising
several crops of oats or barley from once
sowing the seed. These are, truly, the
<4se?f limited'1 diseases. It is fortunate
in many particulars that such a large
I proportion of diseases are of this charac?
ter. It makes but little difference in the
treatment of them what the drugs used
may be, so long ss the strength is kept
up and no harm is done! Tho mran
tiling is to keep the patient alive a given
j number of days, when the cause ex
? hausts itself and recovery ought to fol- j
j low.-Globe- Democrat.
Slarriage Among the Afghans.
Among the Afghans marriage is a.
case of purchasing the bride. A rich
Afghan marries early, simply because ho
cause he can afford to pay for a wife,
while a poor one often remains singlo
j until middle life on. account of his iua
I bility to purchase. If the husband dies
and the widow wishes Sb marry again,
she or her friends have to refund tho
purchase money to the friends of the
dead husband. Like the Jews, a com?
mon custom is for the brother of the de?
ceased to marry the widow. No other
person would think of wedding her
without first asking this brother's con?
sent.-Thomas Stevens in New York

It is said that 40 per cent, of all the

duo to opium, and this rate of mortality,
according to Dr. Wynter Blythe, 4-arises

practice, both of hard working English
mothers and the baby farmer, cf giving
infants 'soothing syrups,' 'infants'
friends, ! and the like, to allay restless?
ness and keep them asleep during the
greater part of their existence. *' lt lias

INCAUTIOUS DErma
"Good morning, my darling.'1 Brit there
was another letter at Philip Breton's break?
fast plate, and the old look of dread came
back to his face-the dark hollows under his
eyes showed again. He had forgotten for a
moment, but he ought never to forget. How
could he tell what moment he would be called
upon to strain every nervo to save his dar?
ling. He tore open the letter in uncontroll?
able terror; oh, it was only from Philbrick.
Had Bertha noticed his excitement and would
she question him ia wifely concern? He had
so much to guard against. But no, her grace?
ful arm was raised to pour his coffee, inclin?
ing her head prettily on ono side, as women
do always at tea and coffee pouring. She did
not watch his face as he did hers. She had
not even noticed the chango that had come
over him of late, that shocked every casual
acquaintance on the street. But that made
it so much the easier fer him to keep the
secret from her; he told himself he ought to
be thankful for it, instead of ever permitting
his foolish heart to ache. He ran his eyes
rapidly over the letter his white haired
friend had sent him.
"I suppose it is paper thrown away, but I
want to remind you once more of my offer
to take your mill off your hands. I havo
made np my mind to try . my scheme some?
where. I am old and feel as if I would like
to do something f?r my race with my money,
which I have now well in hand. Will you
let mo have your mills for what I have got?
If not I shall try elsewhere. The reason I
want your mills is because I propose to give
you a chance to take part in my beautiful in?
dustrial plan. I will pay you one-third its
valuation, onerthird you shall keep at 4 per
cent, interest till we can buy .that in also, the
other third lam going to let you give in trust
for the benefit of the help as my discretion
shall dictate. This is a glorious opportunity,
but I suppose I ara wild to expect you to tahte
it, except that I have read in the newspapers
of growing discontent among your help.
Various reasons are given for it; my explana?
tion is that a Httie leaven leavencth the
whole lump. If you were working to stop
compkvuxs you sliould not have begun your
reforms. You may happen to see things as I
do, and be willing to let me try where you
havo failed. If so, telegraph ino at once
and I wiil come."
Philip folded tho letter thoughtfully and
put it back in its envelope. Ko, he was not
ready for that yet. But he did not smile.
If it should ever happen that he be called
upon to sacrifice everything to save his wife
-but Philbrick required that he accept r.t
once. No, he was not ready yet.
''Ohr said his wife, as if a sudden thought
had struck her, "do you remember your
promis, you .aro to take me through the mills
today r
"Did I promise that?" Ho put back his
coffee cup "untasted.
'.Certainly, Philip, and I cannot let you
off."
"But yon must." Eis face drew dark at
the thought that she should put at naught all
his careful plans to secure her present safety
Bertha pusf.cd back her chair "and rising an?
grily to her feet, swept from the room with
out another word. Philip tried in vain tc
swallow the mouthfuls of food he so much
needed, then he started on foot for the milL
That Berilla should be angry with him
seemed the last intolerable blow. Was he not
bearing enough before? He had made her
unhappy. Perhaps she was weeping hot tear?
cf impatience now. She had thought he
loved her enough to grant her every wish
that might cross her heart. Philip was
tempted to go back and explain everything
Then she- wonld not doubt bis love, but she
would have to share his agony with him. It
were better to bear his burden? alone-even
to this last burden of her unmerited reproach
His sympathy for her grew stronger than his
conscleu-uoss of his own unhappiness. Of
course she would fc? L?r?. '?m?> he nacl denied
her anything; if it had been a ribbon, it
would have been the same. Ho was to blame
for letting her leave him in vexation. Ha
should have forgotten his own grievances
and soothed ker with gentle words till she
smiled on him. It was not because sho
wanted the thing so much, but it was tho
first time ho had ever crossed her wishes.
Philip was so absorbed in his thoughts that
he did not observe that bo was close upon an
excited crowd of village peop'c, until such
wcrds as these fell npon?iis ear:
liA noice friend of tho poor man hebe,
with his four fancy bosses. Ids silver dishes
to eat bis victuals out of, and his house like a
king's palace, while we lives and dies in dirt
and poverty. Who made him better nor us:
do lie work"harder? do he sleep less? No, but
ht- have his venison and his game dinners,
while us starves on tea and crackers; ho
sprawls on his fine cushions, and sleeps in his
soft beds, while we rot in close atticks, and
loafs in dirty saloons, the poor man's only
home. What title Lave he pot to have bet?
ter than we, and give himself airs over us??
Philip was astonished. Tho man who stood
on the steps of ono of the tenement houses,
instructing ?in audience extending quite
across the highway, was no other than the
incendiary who had so nearly caused thc nun
of tho Breton Mills the night of tho groot
fire. Tho fellow's hair was cropped as close
to Iiis bullet head as it was then.
The audience was mostly made up of old
men, women and children, with herc and
there an able bodied man, who preferred talk?
ing about his rights to deserving anything.
One or two had observed the young mill
owner, but they took no pains to spread the
intelligence, and in a moment more the agita
I tor had caught his breath and went on:
"K? feeds hishosses moren would keep two
poor families. Thc wines fee drinks every day
cost enough to keep another two.
Perhaps the man was right in his tirade.
Perhaps Philip Breton had only'begun to
grasp thc first outlines of the great question
he had fancied mastered.
"But ve kiss his hand."
"No. we won't:" shouted tho crowd. There
stood Thomas Bailes. Philip's discharged ser?
vant, in the middle of the street, shouting
with thc rest. Ho could afford to beidlo
cine; his last liberal present.
"Yo will thank him for his bein' so kind to
ye."
"No, no!''screamed tho women, What a
fool Philip Breton had been to count on grati?
tude. Human nature is too progressive to bo
grateful. Perhaps h-* deserved no thanks.
He had done more thau others for his help.
The mere fool he was, all sides would agree,
unless hrt went further. Ho ought to havo
been either :i thorough radical, or a thorough
conservative. All parties abuse the half wa}"
reformer. A vessel of pottery between two
jars cf iron, hr is certain to bo crushed.
A carriage was srnirrgiing down the street.
How slow the ctowd wore to give way. They
were so rauch internst ed in their orator that
they did not notice they were obstructing
thtrbighway.
"What good is such men cs him? cur wo?
men is stronger than them sort."
Thc horse seemed spirited, or else not
properly guided! Ah. tho driver ought not
to uso whip in such a situation cs this.
Cooa heavens! th;- horse had become uzi?

I "Pull her cwt, scarict lace," screamed the
women. "Tear her pretty ir.gs o:i'from her."
x ..e barefooted children threw earth ai her;
lean, dirty fingers pinched at her delicate
skirt.-, liow dareit they touch her! she
shrank from the pollution of contact with
such creatures as these, with a terror that
would bb inconceivable to a man. She saw
them gather around the restive horse, who
seemed as impatient cf their touch us she;
they were beginning to undo his harness. ?n

was on her sliculders; and vile words, whose j
meaning she only felt, were on every tongue. I
Her heart grow sick; oh, she prayed God
would not let her faint; ok not now; oh, not
now-yet her vision seemed failing, she could
net see the horse's head, sand the terrible in?
sults tho people hurled at her grew indistinct,
like a roaring of many waters in her cars.
But she saw a hideous faced hag reach her
bare, brawny arm into the carriage and clutch
at her feet; tbey were lifting her out. But I
a hand like iron Bung the virago back.
"Stand off. it is my wife!" The mill own?
er's wire. The crowd "fell back for a moment,
as if it was news for them; but Philip knew
by instinct, the lull would only last for a mo- J
went. He must make tho most of it. He j
had only time to refasten a little of the har- I
ness, when a sharp stone struck him cn tho j
check and drew blood. i
"How many husbands can a woman have?"7
screamed a woman on thc sidewalk.
"Jaii's tho placo for her," growled a man
at his shoulder. Then tho crowd closed in j
again.
"Let go thc bit," demanded Fhilip, never
quailing. But Bailes only grinned at him, as
Philip Liad seen him before, and tightened his
boldon the horse.
"You're too small to giro orders; I amt in
your pay now." But before the fellow had
time to put up a guard, his young master
had struck him a blow in the face that fairly
staggered him, large man as he was.
"Oh, that's your game, is it? Make way,
boys, all I want is room.' I'll finish kim up
quick."
The man wanted to mako use of his weight
and strength in the directest way possible, so !
ho rushed forward tb close with Ids antag?
onist, throwing up his hands to protect him?
self. But he miscalculated and his cheek
bone fairly cracked with tho force of the
second blow. Bailes drew back for another
attack. The smile cf contempt was gone
from his braised and bleeding face, buta
very dangerous look was in ms eyes. Eis
young master had lest his first paleness, a
bright red spot burned in each cheek and his
black eyes flashed forth defiance. The dis?
charged servant ducked his head and came at
Fhilip like a maddened ox. The crowd held
its breath: the slight form of the master
would go down, and tho victor would pound
his young lifo out of him. Was the lad
crazy to invite a battle wiih a man of almost
twice his weight? The young man did not
Hinch a hair's breadth. Ho raised his ann
again. What good of battering against the
fellow's thick skdl? Ho was upon him-no,
Philip had leaped aside at the last moment,
and, as Bailes went past, had dealt him a
blow ia the temple that sent his great form
reeling to the ground.
Before the crowd had time to move Philip
hod leaped into the carriage and caught the
reins f rom his fainting wife. He turned his
j horse into an open space au? I the half fastened
i harness let the carriage run against the ani
I mai's legs. It was better than a thousand
whips, and he broke into a wild gallop.
Bahes had only time to get his feet and shoat
after the young mill owner:
"This is only the first roundP
Philip heard his words and muttered to
himself: "I ought to have killed him, since
I had to beat hun. There isn't gold enough
ia California to buy him over now"
"What did they mean, Philip?' Bertha
was lying on the sofa in her own little blue
roomT Philip had put a pillow beneath her
tired head, and was kneeling by her sido
watching for the color to come back to her
frightened cheeks.
'.Thank Oed she did not know, not yet."
He looked down at the veins in hey pretty
hau els; how many there were to-day.
"ft was only their senseless jargon. They
are angry with me, you know. Do not think i
about it again." 1
?She opened her great blue eyes on him. j
She was going to thank him no doubt for her
rescue out of the tembl? peril.
"You look so small and weak. ? wouldn't
have thought you had any strength." That
was all she had for him.

Philip left his wiie to fall asleep if she
could, and made his way to his study where
he and his father before him had fought out
S" many battles. His secret was out. Tho
police might be at his door that very night
to claim his bride back from him. He had
beaten one man fer her, but ho could not de?
fend her against the force they would bring
against him.. Tho air of his little village bad

He tried to calm himself and calculate how
T~""li ?1:20 his crowding destiny would give
him. Ho was. rich and powerful .and had
many friends, au#no?hmg that could happen .
to his wife could make him less formidable,
though it might break his heart. There
was not a soul in Bretonviile that had some?
thing to hope of his favor, or to fear from
his displeasure. He could shut up his mills
and the village would become a desert; he
could lower wages and send starvation
knocking at every door. And there was not
ono creature in tho village but knew his
power. He had not used it to hirui them yet,
but would not a man forget mercy in defend?
ing his own* home? And then what did .they
know, after all,- even tho mob that had in?
sulted his wife? They might suspect, but
suspicion was not enough to give them cour?
age to assail all thc* bulwarks of wealth and
re.-pectabiiity about such a heme as Philip
Breton's. Even thc discharged servant,
Thoma? Bailes,- did not hold the trump card
in this terrible game of hie and death. 2>o .
