Judging by imperfect sight alone our deductions from what we pee are necessarily simply reflections of subjective conditions" In our own minds. Had Mrs. Thimberly been a very unsophisticated and unsuspecting person, she would probably—or at least possibly —have imagined that her husband's visitor was simply soliciting typewriting work, or selling tickets for some charitable "benefit," or seeking subscriptions to Bomethiug-r-the poiumon, annoyances of offioe men.

He went out, closing the door behind him. Quickly as a cat pouncing upon a bird, she sprang to the drawer she had seen open while he looked at Cuddles' letters, and from which she rightly supposed they had been taken. It was empty.

Gold Standard Men Decide to Nominate Candidates, Spurred by the mental excitation of that anxious thought, the imp who supplied her "second sight" again got in his evil work, and Flossy had a most appalling glimpse. She saw Algernon at home, seated before a table, writing a letter—doubtless his farewell to her— with a revolver lying at his elbow. That it was his horrible purpose to blow out his brains as soon as he had finished the letter she did not doubt. The agony of that thought lent wings to her feet. She no longer walked. She ran, she flew, and, reaching home, dashed in and up stairs, where she found her husband exactly as the vision had shown him to her.

That it might make her gift of second sight dangerous he knew was impossible, for, since he would always be faithful and innooent, he would have nothing to fear from her adventitious supervision.

The national convention of the National Democratic party will be held at Indianapolis the first week in September.

SECOND SIGHT, There was a general discussion of the report presented by Mr. Outhwaite, during which speeches were made by nearly all members of the oommittee, who reported the disaffection over the Chicago platform and other conditions In their respective states. In these speeches the flnanolal polioy of President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and other prominent Democrats was praised, and some of the speakers referred to the manner In which they as well as the supremo court were referred to at the Chicago convention.

This created much enthusiasm. The list was headed by Chairman Palmer. A telegram was road from Mr. Wilson of Mississippi not to append his name, as he bad been made committeeman without his oonsent. On motion of Mr. Outhwalte, Chairman Palmer was directed to appoint an executive committee of nine, who should takei oharge of the oampaign of the National Democratic party at onoe and report to the general oommlttee of the new party at a meeting to be held in Indianapolis Tuesday, Sept. 1, the day preceding the national convention.

Cleveland, Aug. 8.—National Hepublloan Chairman M. A. Hanna has returned from New York and Philadelphia. To a reporter be said: "My trip in the east was a thoroughly satisfactory one, and I return feeling that we have the work ther* well in hand. The importance of the financial queetlon to the people of the east has not been exaggerated, and there is not the slightest likelihood that there will be any diminution of Interest in favor of the tariff or any other issue as the oampaign progresses. 1 found everywhere the greatest Interest in the financial question, there is oertainly an appreoiahle free silver sentiment in many parts of the east. We are going to devote considerable attention to the west, but we are going teD make just as bard a fight In the east." Banna Pleased With His Trip. CHAPTER H. V5 In due pourse of time, when the apple trees were in bloom, Algernon and Flossy were married and deemed their happiness thenceforth assured. Married life finds its parallel in streams. From the pretty, merry, silvery, singing and laughing little brooks—which symbolise courtship days—the current' prows wide and deep, gliding placidly and strong, as the great, calm, contented joy of thorough anion between two loyipg hearts mar he to fill existence With a flood of b|iss. Bat fdl the timft you observe, going down hiU toward the falls, the precipice, the jumping off place where the third party waits. Of course it is not always so in either streams or lives. Some currents flow so sluggishly they hardly seem to move at all, and, WW no rapids or falls to ¥**7 their monotony, dumping their almost stagnant volume into the cload veiled ocean which may as well be called death as anything else. But of tbfiir sort stories -^Tttem Algernon stood well the assault by Mrs. Wagstaff's eyes. He met them firmly, thought of his duty to his fellow and said, ' 'I dou't know ftuything about any Jennie. " The recording angel doubtless sighed as he jotted down the words, but perhaps, when balancing his books, made a little credit entry for Algernon's fidelity to his friend- "Jf you know there is a Jennie." he continued, "your knowledge it, just th(it much more comprehensive than jnme," sought. The first letter at which she glanced began, "Big lamp of sweetness," which meant Algernon, of course, and was signed, "Your own loving Cuddles." That settled it. She put the incriminating missives in her pocket and hastily scribbled upon the memorandum pad on her husband's desk: "I have gone to my mother's. Yon need not follow me " ' 'And yon were not going to shoot yourself?" f "Well, I rather guess not Why should I?" "And that letter is not really an eternal farewell to me?" ' 'A farewell to you—when I expected you back from your mother's in time for dinner?'' She would "$omt back later," turning steps, she sank back in her Chair, fanning heraelf with a folded paper and mentally debated, ' 'Shall I surprise the tnjth from him by a direct attack, demanding at onoe Cuddles' letters, or shall I wait until I know more?"' While she sipped the water $he decided to wait^ Just then the load voice of Mr. Bulgerby was heard in the outer office demanding Mr. Thimberly, who went forth to him. Flossy listened to the two men talking at some "directors' meeting," which Algernon must go to at once to "make \ip p quorum. " Presently he took his hat, kissed her and said, "Remain where yon are. dear, until I get back; I shall only be gone 16 or 80 minutes,'' and went away. 4'Oh, Algy," she cried, her eyes filling with tears of happiness, "I've been such a fooL " Then she went on and told him all about it and was dulypenitent and fall of promises that she would never suspect him, never be jealous, and never trust her "second sight" any more. CHAPTER IV, "But that is all I know. And I insist upon knowing everything. I have no doubt she was one of Sammy's old flames before we were married, who continues flirting with him yet— shameless £hi»g " "But how do you know she exists or ever has?'' One ooald have known by the thumping of her little heels in the marble corridor as she went away that she was furious. "He cannot have Cuddles and me too," she said to herself indignantly as she marched oat of the elevator at the ground floor. In her excitement she took the first public vehicle that presented itself to. Jier sight, a Broadway cable car, which was not, a* she reflected when well under way, the quickest way of reaching her mother's house, which was very far up town. "But then," the idea occurred to her, "I can get off at Union square, match that piece of silk and take the elevated at Fourteenth street-" Poubtless there may be. in life situations of such Intense, all absorbing concern to a woman that in them she will not think of dress, bat they mast be few, and the present was evidently not such a one to Flossy. It is not, indeed, impossible that she found shopping a consolatory diversion for the time being. That it was not, however, a paramount consideration in her mind was sufficiently evidenced by the fact, discovered when she became cooler, that she had actually taken silk two shades lighter than her sample, which phe knew never happened if she had not peen flustered."

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 8.—The Bryan trip through the east was inaugurated under decidedly favorable conditions and •auspices. It was a day of torrid temperature, but long before time for the departure of the Bryan party the Rook Island depot platform was crowded, and when the oarriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Bryan drove up a great oheer went up from 1,000 throats. From that time on until the train pulled oqt anxious people jostled each other without oompunction as they pressed around their honored fellow citizen and eagerly grasped bis hand and clung to it long enough to breath a fervent godspeed for him and his mis sion. Children were carried along by the pressure of the crowd, and their ohildlsh voloes oould be heard above the uproar In the .familiar greeting, "Goodby, Mr Bryan." "Ah! It was fate I I called at my husband's office yesterday and went into his private room, as I always do. He was out, but his desk was open, and there, written on a pad to catch his eye when came in, was a message from his confidential bookkeeper, Mr. Morgan, who, as it happeued, had also been called out The message ran: 'Jennie was in. I told her you were in the country and I didn't expect you back for a month.' I hunted his desk through and through for further information about her, but found nothing. The safe WM looked, so J oould not search it, or I'm sure I would have found a lot of her letters, possibly her picture. I left the message where it was, and when he came in pretended to be reading a paper and never let on I knew anything of his villainy, but I watched the wretch put of the corner of my eye and *ead hU guilt in the furtive glance he cast at me while he tore the message dd in little bita Still I made no soena He does not suspect tfiat J know anything or am on his track, ("ph, don't though?*' thought Algernon. 1 And J do pof metn that he shall until I have the proofs Then let him tremble. I shall tell all to my mother." A novel question has been raised in Forest and Stream which is of interest to the fishermen who fish in artificially stocked waters. For some reason or other a fisherman, got the notion that the salmon In the Restigouche river were not so game now as in past years. Another of the Kestigouche fishers was of the same mind. If there is anything the sportsman angler does not want and will not have if he can help it, it is the deterioration of the fighting qualities of his fish. He would liko to have the fish go into training if possible. What {he fishermen want to know is what is the matter with the Reetigouche salmon? It appears that the stream has been stocked to a considerable extent during late years, and if this stocking has taken the nerve out of the salmon eyeiy one who is interested in fish wants to know the reason why, and, more yet, the remedy. It is well known that the hand reared English pheasants are not to be compared with a wild American ruffed grouse in any particular. If the artificial propagation of fishes is going to refold tu taking the fight out of fame-ran, it will be a sad thing to the minds of men who fish for fun, and not for profit W. D. BYNUM. Flossy's seoond sight frequently made little ripples in the stream, frat'not unpleasantly as yet for Algernon. When she said to him, "Algernon, my dear, where were you going in such haste on Broadway this afternoon?'' or, "Who was that ugly, black browed man with the crooked nose who was in yoar office todftyf! pr popiething else of the sort, her pretty sympathetic way of questioning not only afforded ones for pleasant, confidential chats abont his affairs, bat sweetened his existence with the happy thought that she was all the time thinking of him; that her heart ever turned toward her love as the faithful needle to the pole—or the hungryeat to the oanaiy, he C»uld altt have thought, only he did not.

Benjamin, Rush ford. After Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had entered the car there was a request for them to appear upon the rear platform, which they did. As Mr. Bryan appeared, the handshaking was renewed, and in response to oontinued and persistent calls for a speech, Mr. Bryan said: On the way to his office one morning Algernon was met by a friend, Mr. Samuel Wagstaff, who put in his hands a package of letters, saying: "TKimberjyj { was just Rooking for you.1 J wish pou would take* oare of these for me a day or two.

At the Fourteenth street station she boarded a Harlem train. Wedged in a corner just behind a cross seat, she quickly recognised in ths person whose Subcommittee Appointed. "In ordinary times I would have desired to have the notification take plaoe at my home. But this is not an ordinary campaign, and I felt that the cause should rise above any personal desires we might have, and therefore expressed the wish to bo notified in New York in order that our cause might be presented first in the heart of what now seems to be the enemy's country, but which we hope to be our oountry before this oampaign Is over. I appreciate the kindness which the neighbors have shown, and all that I can promise you is that whether what I do meets with your approval or not, I shall do my duty as 1 see it and accept all consequences whloh may follow." The secretary read tho resolutions adopted at tho conference held in Chicago July 28 by ten middle western states, the ohjeot of which was to arrange for the holding of another Democratic national convention, at which an independent gold Democratic ticket should he named. J. H. Outhwaite moved that a committee of five should be at Onoe appointed, whose duty it should be to select a time and place for the convention. There was loud oheering over this motion.

THE BELLS OF 1897. In a paper published in The Astronomische Nachrichten Dr. See shows how, by a very ready method, determi nation may be made of the absolute dimensions of the orbjta of bright and rapidly (evolving binary stars by single spectroscopic measures of the motions in the line of eight of the component •tars, and from the dimensions and other known data of the orbits the actual mnssos of the stars and their distances from the earth can be easily calculated But perhaps the important result claimed this method is the means it furnishes of testing the question whether the Newtonian law of gravitation applies to stellar systems as well as to the solar system. Dr. See shows the manner in wbioh may be calculated the motion in the line of sight in all parts of the binary orbit, these calculations being based upon the law gravitation and a single spectroscopic measure. If such measures be continued upon a number oi pairs while the stars complete their revolutions, and the computed and observed motions in the line of sight agree throughout, within reasonable limits ofertor, it will be strong proof of the universality of the Newtonian law.

The train halted briefly at the prinoipal stations, and Mr. Bryan spoke from the rear platform and was received with great enthusiasm at each stopping place.

The applause that followed was a distinct ovation, in response to which Mr. Bryan said, in part: Mm. Thimberly was aghast at the audacious familiarity demonstrated. "But no wonder!" she reflected. "A creature who calls herself Coddles I'* Who she was Mrs. Wagstaff did not cart or even trouble herself to imagine. She was not Jennie, and that yrtti. enough. ' How £ould fbe that? Well, she had seen another of 8amihy's frlendd, and the fellow—whether from malice or because be was just a plain fool, pan eay?—had permitttid himself to tell the jealous wife all he knew about Mr. Wagstaff's apparent delinquencies.

"A political party has always been defined to lie an association of voters to promote the sucoess of political principles held in common, The Democratic party during its whole history has lieen pledged to promote the liberty of the Individual, the security of private rights and property and the supremacy of the law. It has always insisted upon a safe and statue money for the people's use. It has insisted upon the maintenance of the financial honor of the nation as well as upon the preservation inviolate of (he institutions established by the constitution. These, its principles, were abandoned by the supposed representatives of the party at a national convention recently assembled at Chlengu. The Democratic party will therefore cease to exist unless It be preserved by the voluntary action of sui h of its members as still adhere to the fundamental principles. No majority of the members of that convention, however large, had any right or power to surrender those principles. When they undertook to do so, that hsseinblage nAHserl to be a n«nifw«itln MinvflnHnn  action taken, the Irregular proceedings and the platform enunciated by that body were aud are so utterly and indefensibly revolutionary aud constitute such radloal departures from the principles of true Domooracy, which should characterize a sound and patriotic administration of our ooutitry's affairs, that its results are not entitled to tho confidence or support of true Democrats Kor the first time since national parties were formed there is not before the American people a platform declaring the principles of the Democratic party as recognized and most courageously and consistently administered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland, nor are there nominees for the offices of president and vice president of the I 'nitod States pledged to carry those principles Into practical effect. The faithful and true Democrats of the United States are determined that their principles shall not be ruthlessly sundered, nor the people be deprived of an opportunity to vote for candidates in accord (herewith.

He would have done better had he {rarped them at once. Love letters, new or old, are always dangerous, even though they may be those of a stranger. Those who extol thp "goldeq age" do not lay anything like sufficient stress upon the general ignorance of letters as a factor of popular happiness in that felicitous era. Where few oould read or write, there were not many love letters, and no wife in those days would have been likely to suffer such a shock as Flossy had on her way down town from an astral view of her husband handling what her feminine instinct promptly recognized as love letters, and her wifely power Of unreason at once assumed were his own pernicious and inoendiarjr property Mrs. Thimberly was in an elevated railway car, thinking so intently upon Algernon's treachery that she was more than half unconscious of immediate sur* foundings, when her impish peeond sight caught a glimpse of him at the very instant of his bearing, ♦'your own loving Cuddles," und the line was as plain to Flossy as to bun. "So," she thought, "that was how the brazgji creature Ionian who Algernon and made eyes at him —Cuddles!" She ransacked b6*" memory to find if be had ever inadvertently called her Cuddles, for she rightly lurmised that a man addicted to pet names is liable to use them carelessly at times, making new and iuadyertent combination* of names and women. No, she could uot recall that he ever had. But that only showed how sly he was. Slyness would not save him now, however. She would get hold of Cuddles' letters and then let him tremble—she Would tell all to her mother. "Oh, } suppose it don't matter!

Jersey City, Aug. «.—Gold standard Democrats of New Jersey held a conference at Taylor's hotel In this city and started the movement In New Jersey for a third ticket. The meeting was presided over by Hon. John Hone, and there was a large attendance of representative Democrats from all sections of the state. Letters and telegrams were received from many others who were unable to attend, expressing sympathy with the movement. William J. Curtis, a member of the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, was selected as national committeeman pro tem, who will co-operate with the members of the national oommlttee in issuing a call for a national convention. A declaration was adopted by the meeting which denies the claim of the nominees of the Chltngo con ventlot) that they represent the fund* mental principles of the Democratic party. It says: "They were nominated by a body which defiantly refused its Indorsement of the thrioe chosen leader of the national Democracy. They stand upon a platform whioli almost in its every line conflicts with Democratic beliefs and assaults the characteristic artioles of our faith. The strenuous insistence upon a coinage system whioh would help the debtor only by robbing the oreditor, which would paralyze industrial activity and strike, at the toots of honest labor by imperiling its reward, the open attack upuu courts and executive for their assertion of federal authority and the rights of property against lawless riot, these are assaults upon prin ciple which have not only been the principles of common honesty but of social existence As Democrats anxious for the preservation of Dciuooratlo principles, qp New Jerirjr Gold Democrats, Lines to a Young Man.
