Was it any wonder that the demon

I'ucle Fin, on his part, ha I tiot been

Cynthia was not much
company for him after all. She could
I not cook half so well as he could ; siie
mended his stockiugs so buugiugly
j that they hurt his feet ; and she forgot
to make his bed every other day
on an average.
"Ah, welll" he consoled himself,
"I s'poso all women are alike. Indian
. Oscelita ain't cut artc-r that pattern,
though, I'm level sure of that."
Oscelita Dean came one day on her

and hire.I a room in I'aolo I'.n CopI

I And now be ran the real course of
1 life. Miss Cynthia took out her guitar,

i so desperately that uot a bal-l ea^io
I remained with oar-shot of the Poiut.
i She persecuted Undo Fin into grubhiuir
up stumps and leveliug down the
! grouu I for a tenuis course, and she
, uupacked the nets and balls; she
i placed her water-colored sketches
around ;u the most conspicuous places.
' aud po<?ed herself at sunset, with her
j easel a:. 1 brushes, jus; where Captain
! Sydford would be most likely to see
her wh. u he alighted from the boat at
supper-till:
"She's a pioer old customer, said
the captain to himself. "If she wili

WASHINGTON LKLl KK.
Syndicate Operations. Interesting
Gossip from the Nations Capitol.
Secretary Carlisle* assistants are overdoing
til* makiugof protests again-: rumored
preparations for another bond issue.Theit
memories must be liiori. Before eaoh of the
other boml i-s jes these same protests were
made, but the bonds were also issued.
Those who are now .saying that the bond
syndicate, which officials admit to be the
sole reliance of Secretary Carlisle l?t keeping
the sold reserve near the one hundred
million mark, will shoitiy ' move its props
and force another bond issue, which under
their contract they will have \he refn?*" of
at the same pri 'O paid for the last isyue of
bonds, may be wrong, but probability seems
to ieau quite markedly then way. The obligation
to assist iu iu i.'ntainlug the gold reserve
will, according to those connected
with the administration, cease October 1st.
In othpr wor<lj Ms** *>.1 ? ?;?? i
.uu uoauiuiua.iuu WIU UilV'J
'uo ground for complaint should the syu-livate
openiy raid tho gold In the Tre.mtry on
the morning of October 2nd. If that be iris
,the syndicate will probably do whatever It is
Jmost profitable for it to do, regardless of the
interests of tho U. S. government, or tnat of
anybody else outside of the syndicate. According
to what are believed to be tniMworthy
figures, the syndicate made a profit
of at least SlO.OM.OdO on its last purchase I
of bonds from the government, and upon
another issue of equal amount would doubtless
make as much or more. Is there* anyway
that the syndicate can make as much by
helping the government maintain the gold
leserve? If not, tho syndicate will almost
certainly try to force another bond issue.
Profit is what the syndicate wants and will
get whenever it can.
For nearly a year, work has been done
towards the artistic improvement of Uncle
Sam's paper money, and in the near future
new one. two, live and ten dollar bills will be
issued that the official* believe will be the
most artistic notes over issued by any government.
The designs for these notes are the
work of three leading Ameri an artl3ts?the
five and t?n dolinr bills by Walter Sherlow,
the one by E. H. Ulushfleld, and the two by
wm l.owo. I'ue live dollar note will be in
the uaiuts of the public l>y '.ho tlr.it of November.
Senator MiiU. of Texas. has gone home, but
nefore going he defined bis position on the
silver ques'.iou, and his enemies say the definition
iJo>lg"s, or attempts to ilo<lge, his constituents
if not the silver -luestion. He declares
against the free .coinage of sliver a 18
to 1 without i.i international agreement, but
says be will vote for it if the Texas democ.-atie
state convention of next year declares In
its favoi. Mr. Mills also declared nJmself
opposed to i third term for Mr. Cleveland or
any other President.
It is u / w said to lie doubtful whether Mr.
Carlisle fa ices any further part in the Kentucky
campaigu, although he had fully made
up his moid to go there and make some
speeches. The origin-.f the doubt seems to
be that some if I.is triend* in Kentucky have
advised ::i t > -*ay out of the dtate until
after eleoti >u.
