One of the worst of the sufferers from this home woo, as he called it in his own tongue, was Matthaus Tina, whose dreamy musing nature felt the glCxDm of exile still more intensely from the fact that he had left a lonely mother at home with nobody to cheer her. Though Phyllis, touched by all this, and interested in his history, did not disdain her soldier's acquaintance, she declined, according to her own account at least, to permit the young man to overstep the line of mere friendship for a long while—as long indeed as she considered herself likely to become the pos- The Fatalities of the Appalling New Jersey Disaster. More words in the same strain were casually dropped as the two men waited —words which revealed to her, as by a sudden illumination, the enormity of her conduct.

There came a morning which broke in fog and mist, behind which the dawn could be discerned in greenish gray, and the outlines of the tents and the rows of horses at the ropes. The smoke from the canteen fires drooped heavily. But he did not come, and the spring developed. His letters were regular though formal, and it is not to be wondered that the uncertainty of her position, linked with the fact that there was not much passion in her thoughts of Humphrey, bred an indescribable dreariness in the heart of Phyllis Grove.

CHAPTER IIL But news raw-hod the village from a friend of Phyllis' father concerning Mr. Humphrey Gould, her remarkably cool and patient lDetrothcd. This gentleman had Ikhsi heard to say in Bath that he considered his overtures to Miss Phyllis Grove to have reached only the stage of a half understanding, and in view of his enforcCxl absence on his father's account, who was too great an invalid now to attend to his affairs, he thought it Ix'st that there should be no definite promise as yet on either side. He was not sure indeed that h© might not cast his eves elsewhere. "But how get there?" she asked. Phyllis had been rather amazed than shocked at his proposition. Her position in her father's house was growing irksome and painful in the extreme. His parental affection seemed to be quite dried up She was not a native of the village, like all the joyous girls around her, and in some way Matthaus Tina had infected her with his own passionate longing for his country and mother and home. The Democratic leaders and the Democratic newspapers In Pennsylvania have attracted widespread attention by their manly and rigorous repudiation of the Democratic ticket. William M. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadelphia Record and the recent Democratic candidate for governor, was one of the first to bolt the tioket. The Record, in its issue of July 11, comes out In a double leaded editorial headed "Populism Not Democracy," in which Itsays: " Well, 8he deserves it. I've treated her At the Hospital.

CHAPTER IL The following is the offloial list of the dead: The present generation has probably but a very dim notion of the celebrated York hussars of 90 years ago. They were one of the regiments of the King's German legion, and, though they somewhat degenerated later on, their brilliant uniform, their splendid horses and, above all, their foreign air and mustachioa—rare appendages then—drew crowds of admirers of both sexes wherever they went These, with other regiments, had come to encamp on the downs and pastures because of the presence of the king in the neighboring town. Phyllis was bo conscience stricken that she was at first inclined to follow them, bnt a moment's reflection led her to feel that it would only be bare justice to Mutthaus to wait till he arrived and explain candidly that she had changed her mind, difficult as the struggle would be when she stood face to faoe with him. She bitterly reproached hefr- Belf for having believed reports whioh represented Humphrey Gould as false to his engagement, when, from what she now heard from his own lips, she gathered that he had been living full of trust in her, but she knew well enough who had won her love. Without him her life seemed a dreary prospect, yet the more she looked at his proposal the more she feared to accept it, so wild as it was, so vague, so venturesome. She had promised Humphrey Gould, and it was only his assumed faithlessness which had led her to treat that promise as naught. His solicitude in bringing her these gifts touched her; her promise must be kept, and esteem must take the place of love. She would preserve her self respect She would stay at home and marry him and suffer. Edward Farr, Atlantic City, englnoer of the KeadlDg train. Miss Tlllle Leeds,, Brtdgeton.

Fixing the Responsibility. "But how?" she repeated, finding that he did not answer. "Will you buy your discharge ?" "The platform adopted by the Chioag* convention is such a declaration of purposes and principles as no consistent Democrat and no lover of the country can conscientiously approve. No man fit to be president or vice president of the United States could in honor stand upon it, and it Is therefore quite unnecessary to consider what manner of persons have been presented for the suffrages of the people. It was nearly 90 years ago. The British uniform of the period, with its immense epaulets, queer cocked hat, breeches, gaiters, ponderous cartridge box, buckled shoes and what not, would look strange and barbarous now. Ideas have changed; invention has followed invention. Soldiers were monumental objects then. A divinity still hedged' kings here and there, and war was considered a glorious thing.

Humphrey was an honorable man, who would not think of treating his engagement so lightly. "Do you wait in patience," he said "All will be right enough in time," "Ah, 110," he said. "That's impossible in these times. No; I came here against my wilL Why should 1 not escape? Now is the time, as we shall soon be leaving here, and I might see yon no more. This is my scheme: I will ask you to meet me on the highway, two miles off, on some calm night next week that may be appointed. There will be nothing unbecoming in it or to cause you shame. You will not fly alone with me, for I will bring with mo my devoted young friend Christoph, who has lately joined the regiment, and who has agreed to assist in this enterprise.

Indifferent as Phyllis was to camp doings now, she mounted by the steps to the old place. What she beheld at first awed and perplexed her. Then she stood rigid, her fingers hooked to the wall, her eyes staring out of her head, and her face as if hardened to stone. Phyllis, though not precisely a girl of the village, was as interested as any of them in this militaiy investment Her father's home stood somewhat apart, and on the highest point of ground to which the lane ascended, so that it was almost level with the top of the church towvr in the lower part of the parish.

SPITS UPON IT.

Is it necessary to add that the echoes of many episodic tales, dating from that picturesque time, still linger about here in more or less fragmentary form, to be caught by the attentive ear.

It consisted of the band of the York hussars playing a dead march. Next two saddle soldiers of that regiment, guarded on each side and accompanied by a clergyman Behind came a crowd of rustics who had been attracted by the event The melancholy procession entered the square and halted beside the coffins, where the two condemned men were blindfolded and each placed kneeling on his coffin. A few minutes' pause was now given while they prayed A Russian City Burning Dp. :Dt. Petersburg, Aug. 1.—A u J has been raging at Libau, Russia, ice Wednesday.

From those vrords Phyllis at firstly imagined that her father was in correspondence with Mr. Gould, and her heart sank within her, for in spite of her original intentions she had been relieved to hear that her engagement had come to nothing. But she presently learned that her father had heard no more of Humphrey Gould than she herself had done, while he would not write and address her fiance directly on the subject lest it should be deemed iin imputation on that bachelor's honor. "The propositions to authorize free silver coinage at the ratio of Id to 1, independently of other nations, and thereby to establish stiver monometallism; to impair the sanctity of contracts; to repudiate the obligations of the government; to override or debauch the federal courts; to put it oat of the power of the executive to protect the public credit or the public safety, and to authorize the congress to issue unlimited amounts of legal tender notes, are all embodied in this Chicago manifesto.

Her life was prolonged 13 years after the day of her narration, and she has now been dead nearly 20. The oblivion which in her modesty and humility she courted for herself has only partially fallen upon her, with the unfortunate result of inflicting an injustice upon her memory, since such fragments of her story as got abroad at the time and hare been kept alive ever since are precisely those which are most unfavorable to her character. "It is tho first and last time," she wildly thought as she stood encircled by his anns. *rm l.

But its magnitude almost appalled her, and it is questionable if she would ever hive gone farther in the wild adrenture if on entering the house that Bight her father had not accosted her in the most significant terms. How Phyllis got through the terrible ordeal of that night she could never clearly rocollect She always attributed her Buccoss in carrying out her resolve to her lover's honor, for as soon as she declared to him in feeble wards that she had changed her mind and felt that she could not, dared not, fly with him he forbore to her, grieved as he was at her decision. Unscrupulous pressure on his part, seeing how romantically she had become attached to him, would no doubt have turned the balance in his favor. But he did nothing to tempt her unduly or unfairly. "Youwant an excuse for encouraging one or other of those foreign fellows to flatter you with his unmeaning attentions," her father exclaimed, his mood having of late been a very unkind one toward her. "I see more than I say. Don't you ever set foot outside that garden fence without my permission. If you want to see the camp, I'll take you myself some Sunday afternoon." A firing party of 12 stood ready with leveled carbines. The commanding officer, who had his sword drawn, waved it through some cuts of the sword exercise till he reached the downward stroke, whereat the firing party discharged their volley.

Strange, was ar i ned In the district oonrt on the charge He moved onward with his eyes on the yrouiul. diately from the outside of the garden wall the grass spread away to a great distance, and it was crossed by a path which came close to the wall. Ever since her childhood it had been Phyllis' pleasure to clamber up this fence and sit on the top—a feat not so difficult as it may seem, the walls in this district being built of rubble, without mortar, so that there were plenty of crevices for small toes. She was sitting up here one day, listlessly surveying the pasture without,. when her attention was arrested by a solitary figure walking along the path. It was one of the renowned German hussars, and he moved onward with his eyes on the ground, and with the manner of one who wished to escape company. His head would probably have been bent like his eyes but for his stiff neckgear. On nearer view she perceived that his face was marked with deep sadness. Without observing her he advanced by the. footpath till it I rought him almost immediately under the wall. Phyllis was much surprised to see a fine, tall soldier in such a mood :is this. tier theory of the military, and of the York hussars in particular (derived entirely from hearsay, for she had never known a soldier in her life), was that their hearts were as gay as their aceouterments.At this moment the hussar lifted his eyes and noticed her on her perch, the white muslin neckerchief which covered her shoulders and neck where left bare? by her low gown iuid her white raiment in general showing conspicuously in the bright sunlight of this summer day. He blushed a little at the suddenness of the encounter, and without halting a moment from his pace passed on. All that day the foreigner's face haunted Phyllis. Its aspect was so striking, so handsome, and his eyes were so blue and sad and abstracted. It was perhaps oidy natural that on some following day at the same hour she should look oyer that wall again and wait till he had passed a second time On this occasion he was reading a letter, and at the sight of her his manner was that of one who h;id half expected or hoped to discover her, He almost stopped, smiled and made a courteous salute. The end of the tneeting was that they exchanged a few words. She asked him what he was reading, and he readily informed her that he was reperusing letters from his mother in Germany. He did not get them often, he said, and ww forced to r»*Cid the old ones a gre;it many times. This was all that passed at the present interview, but others of the same kind followed.

The soldiers on guard placed the bodies in the coffins almost instantly, but the colonel of the regiment, an Englishman, rode up and exclaimed in a stern voice, "Turn them out—as an example to the men!" Phyllis hud not the smallest intention of disobeying him as to her actions, but she assumed herself to be independent with resixrl to her feelings. She no longer checked her fancy for the hussar, though she was far from regarding him as her lover in the serious sense in which an Englishman might have been regarded as mich.

After formal organization in the coroner's office the jury, headed by that official, visited the old Kxcurslon house, which has been utilized as a morgue. The dead had all been taken there and plaoed In iceboxes. The jurymen viewed the bodies,and, after a few minor formalities, visited the scene of the wreck. Judge Thompson, law judge of Atlantic county, was there on behalf of the Kei-.ding ltailroad company and Joseph H.

A little beyond lay what remained of the Reading engine. Its battered head lay toward the direction whenoe It came, the wheels in the air. The force of the collision was so great that the engine was not o«iy turned upside down but also completely around.

Others may believe in fiat money, and in trying to make something out of nothing by act of congress, but the fact'that they do so proves that they are not Democrats.

At the present time the results at a day's work in one occupation are worth approximately, and in the long run, as much as in any other, To affix artificial value upon silver ore is a dishonest and unjust discrimination against every other form of industry, and when it Is done by calling it a legal tender it is done at the expense of every class in the community except the money lenders and the money changws.

Though Phyllis, touched by all this, and interested in his history, did not disdain her soldier's acquaintance, she declined, according to her own account at least, to permit the young man to overstep the line of mere friendship for a long while—as long indeed as she considered herself likely to become the pos- The Fatalities of the Appalling New Jersey Disaster.

The smoke from the canteen fires drooped heavily. But he did not come, and the spring developed.

CHAPTER IIL But news raw-hod the village from a friend of Phyllis' father concerning Mr. Humphrey Gould, her remarkably cool and patient lDetrothcd. This gentleman had Ikhsi heard to say in Bath that he considered his overtures to Miss Phyllis Grove to have reached only the stage of a half understanding, and in view of his enforcCxl absence on his father's account, who was too great an invalid now to attend to his affairs, he thought it Ix'st that there should be no definite promise as yet on either side. He was not sure indeed that h© might not cast his eves elsewhere. "But how get there?" she asked. Phyllis had been rather amazed than shocked at his proposition. Her position in her father's house was growing irksome and painful in the extreme. His parental affection seemed to be quite dried up She was not a native of the village, like all the joyous girls around her, and in some way Matthaus Tina had infected her with his own passionate longing for his country and mother and home. The Democratic leaders and the Democratic newspapers In Pennsylvania have attracted widespread attention by their manly and rigorous repudiation of the Democratic ticket. William M. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadelphia Record and the recent Democratic candidate for governor, was one of the first to bolt the tioket. The Record, in its issue of July 11, comes out In a double leaded editorial headed "Populism Not Democracy," in which Itsays: " Well, 8he deserves it. I've treated her At the Hospital.

CHAPTER IL The following is the offloial list of the dead: The present generation has probably but a very dim notion of the celebrated York hussars of 90 years ago. They were one of the regiments of the King's German legion, and, though they somewhat degenerated later on, their brilliant uniform, their splendid horses and, above all, their foreign air and mustachioa—rare appendages then—drew crowds of admirers of both sexes wherever they went These, with other regiments, had come to encamp on the downs and pastures because of the presence of the king in the neighboring town. Phyllis was bo conscience stricken that she was at first inclined to follow them, bnt a moment's reflection led her to feel that it would only be bare justice to Mutthaus to wait till he arrived and explain candidly that she had changed her mind, difficult as the struggle would be when she stood face to faoe with him. She bitterly reproached hefr- Belf for having believed reports whioh represented Humphrey Gould as false to his engagement, when, from what she now heard from his own lips, she gathered that he had been living full of trust in her, but she knew well enough who had won her love. Without him her life seemed a dreary prospect, yet the more she looked at his proposal the more she feared to accept it, so wild as it was, so vague, so venturesome. She had promised Humphrey Gould, and it was only his assumed faithlessness which had led her to treat that promise as naught. His solicitude in bringing her these gifts touched her; her promise must be kept, and esteem must take the place of love. She would preserve her self respect She would stay at home and marry him and suffer. Edward Farr, Atlantic City, englnoer of the KeadlDg train. Miss Tlllle Leeds,, Brtdgeton.

Fixing the Responsibility. "But how?" she repeated, finding that he did not answer. "Will you buy your discharge ?" "The platform adopted by the Chioag* convention is such a declaration of purposes and principles as no consistent Democrat and no lover of the country can conscientiously approve. No man fit to be president or vice president of the United States could in honor stand upon it, and it Is therefore quite unnecessary to consider what manner of persons have been presented for the suffrages of the people. It was nearly 90 years ago. The British uniform of the period, with its immense epaulets, queer cocked hat, breeches, gaiters, ponderous cartridge box, buckled shoes and what not, would look strange and barbarous now. Ideas have changed; invention has followed invention. Soldiers were monumental objects then. A divinity still hedged' kings here and there, and war was considered a glorious thing.

Humphrey was an honorable man, who would not think of treating his engagement so lightly. "Do you wait in patience," he said "All will be right enough in time," "Ah, 110," he said.

You will not fly alone with me, for I will bring with mo my devoted young friend Christoph, who has lately joined the regiment, and who has agreed to assist in this enterprise.

Indifferent as Phyllis was to camp doings now, she mounted by the steps to the old place. What she beheld at first awed and perplexed her. Then she stood rigid, her fingers hooked to the wall, her eyes staring out of her head, and her face as if hardened to stone. Phyllis, though not precisely a girl of the village, was as interested as any of them in this militaiy investment Her father's home stood somewhat apart, and on the highest point of ground to which the lane ascended, so that it was almost level with the top of the church towvr in the lower part of the parish.

SPITS UPON IT.

It consisted of the band of the York hussars playing a dead march. Next two saddle soldiers of that regiment, guarded on each side and accompanied by a clergyman Behind came a crowd of rustics who had been attracted by the event The melancholy procession entered the square and halted beside the coffins, where the two condemned men were blindfolded and each placed kneeling on his coffin. A few minutes' pause was now given while they prayed A Russian City Burning Dp. :Dt. Petersburg, Aug. 1.—A u J has been raging at Libau, Russia, ice Wednesday.

From those vrords Phyllis at firstly imagined that her father was in correspondence with Mr. Gould, and her heart sank within her, for in spite of her original intentions she had been relieved to hear that her engagement had come to nothing. But she presently learned that her father had heard no more of Humphrey Gould than she herself had done, while he would not write and address her fiance directly on the subject lest it should be deemed iin imputation on that bachelor's honor.

The oblivion which in her modesty and humility she courted for herself has only partially fallen upon her, with the unfortunate result of inflicting an injustice upon her memory, since such fragments of her story as got abroad at the time and hare been kept alive ever since are precisely those which are most unfavorable to her character.

But its magnitude almost appalled her, and it is questionable if she would ever hive gone farther in the wild adrenture if on entering the house that Bight her father had not accosted her in the most significant terms. How Phyllis got through the terrible ordeal of that night she could never clearly rocollect She always attributed her Buccoss in carrying out her resolve to her lover's honor, for as soon as she declared to him in feeble wards that she had changed her mind and felt that she could not, dared not, fly with him he forbore to her, grieved as he was at her decision. Unscrupulous pressure on his part, seeing how romantically she had become attached to him, would no doubt have turned the balance in his favor. But he did nothing to tempt her unduly or unfairly. "Youwant an excuse for encouraging one or other of those foreign fellows to flatter you with his unmeaning attentions," her father exclaimed, his mood having of late been a very unkind one toward her. "I see more than I say. Don't you ever set foot outside that garden fence without my permission. If you want to see the camp, I'll take you myself some Sunday afternoon." A firing party of 12 stood ready with leveled carbines. The commanding officer, who had his sword drawn, waved it through some cuts of the sword exercise till he reached the downward stroke, whereat the firing party discharged their volley.

Strange, was ar i ned In the district oonrt on the charge He moved onward with his eyes on the yrouiul. diately from the outside of the garden wall the grass spread away to a great distance, and it was crossed by a path which came close to the wall. Ever since her childhood it had been Phyllis' pleasure to clamber up this fence and sit on the top—a feat not so difficult as it may seem, the walls in this district being built of rubble, without mortar, so that there were plenty of crevices for small toes. She was sitting up here one day, listlessly surveying the pasture without,. when her attention was arrested by a solitary figure walking along the path. It was one of the renowned German hussars, and he moved onward with his eyes on the ground, and with the manner of one who wished to escape company. His head would probably have been bent like his eyes but for his stiff neckgear. On nearer view she perceived that his face was marked with deep sadness. Without observing her he advanced by the. footpath till it I rought him almost immediately under the wall. Phyllis was much surprised to see a fine, tall soldier in such a mood :is this. tier theory of the military, and of the York hussars in particular (derived entirely from hearsay, for she had never known a soldier in her life), was that their hearts were as gay as their aceouterments.At this moment the hussar lifted his eyes and noticed her on her perch, the white muslin neckerchief which covered her shoulders and neck where left bare? by her low gown iuid her white raiment in general showing conspicuously in the bright sunlight of this summer day. He blushed a little at the suddenness of the encounter, and without halting a moment from his pace passed on. All that day the foreigner's face haunted Phyllis. Its aspect was so striking, so handsome, and his eyes were so blue and sad and abstracted. It was perhaps oidy natural that on some following day at the same hour she should look oyer that wall again and wait till he had passed a second time On this occasion he was reading a letter, and at the sight of her his manner was that of one who h;id half expected or hoped to discover her, He almost stopped, smiled and made a courteous salute. The end of the tneeting was that they exchanged a few words. She asked him what he was reading, and he readily informed her that he was reperusing letters from his mother in Germany. He did not get them often, he said, and ww forced to r»*Cid the old ones a gre;it many times. This was all that passed at the present interview, but others of the same kind followed.

Ah the volley resounded there arose a shriek from the wall of Dr. Grove's garden, and some one fell down inside, bat nobody among the spectators without noticed it at the time. The two executed hussars were Matthaus Tina and his friend Christoph. The soldiers on guard placed the bodies in the coffins almost instantly, but the colonel of the regiment, an Englishman, rode up and exclaimed in a stern voice, "Turn them out—as an example to the men!" Phyllis hud not the smallest intention of disobeying him as to her actions, but she assumed herself to be independent with resixrl to her feelings. She no longer checked her fancy for the hussar, though she was far from regarding him as her lover in the serious sense in which an Englishman might have been regarded as mich. The young foreign soldier was almost an ideal being to her, with none of the appurtenances of an ordinary house dweller. One who had descended she knew not whence, and would disappear she knew not whither. The subject of a fascinating dream—no mom "It is useless for you to attempt to sloak your actions in that way.

After formal organization in the coroner's office the jury, headed by that official, visited the old Kxcurslon house, which has been utilized as a morgue. The dead had all been taken there and plaoed In iceboxes. The jurymen viewed the bodies,and, after a few minor formalities, visited the scene of the wreck. Judge Thompson, law judge of Atlantic county, was there on behalf of the Kei-.ding ltailroad company and Joseph H.

Both tracks were now clear, the articles of clothing which belonged to victims had been taken to police headquarters, and much of the wreckage had been removed. Beside the ditch, however, there still lay a great mass of broken timber, and here and there a portion of the third oar, which felt the heaviest ofTpcts of the crash and was cut Into so much kindling wood. A little beyond lay what remained of the Reading engine. Its battered head lay toward the direction whenoe It came, the wheels in the air. The force of the collision was so great that the engine was not o«iy turned upside down but also completely around. There is a very general impression that undor the mass of debris at least six more bodies lie.
