Von Stein oausen turned - Jiis eyes on her, and iheir expression of mingled resentment. nd . reproach showed her that he thought ' she shrank tioxsx permitting their salon to be polluted by the pres ence of a Prussian trooper soldier. This was not what she meant, and Ceeling it was not possible to explain, m inexplicable sensation of annoyance brought the color to her cheek in a juick, flitting blush, which did not es cape Steinhausen's observation, even tf hile he .seemedjmly to see th dusty, travel-stained trooper vOio noWascena ed the steps, andi saluting, handed a iispatch to Kittmeister. Steinhausen took it, broke the seal, and opening it, glanced at, its contents, look of fierce discontent darkening his brow as he read; then, crushing it somewhat in his hand, said to his brother officers: ".We march early to-morrow, ' gentle men. We must be in Dresden by noon." :' Then to the soldier: "You can go. I have no further orders." : ; "Hans;. take him to the kitchen: give him food and drink,"-said the kindly Frau Ghering. ' "March to-morrow I" cried Burchardt. "That is a misfortune! One would like, to rest a month long in such a heavenly house as yours, gnadige Frau." - v "And no chance for a ride now, lieber Fraulein," said the Fabnrich to Clar chen. - : : :-- : "Does any other party succeed to yours?" asked Lies. "Ach! I ;am sorry," exclaimed the hospitable Geriehtsamtmann. "We shall not soon find gentlemen so courteous "and Taccommodating as yourselves," to which civility Burch ardt made a suitable reply, and some talk ensued, unheeded by Steinhausen, who was sunk in profoundest silence. This order shattered his half-formed plans; it forced him to turn his back on the first morsel of real, vivid inter est and delight that he had tasted for years, to forego the elucidation of the mystery .which tantalized and at tracted him. , . It seemed a lif etime since the. same fierce eagerness had thrilled his nerves, and. it came back to him like renewed youth. A question from the judge broke the spell and compelled bis attention. "Fardon me! r I did not hear." "I merely asked if the view from the balcony above answers your expecta tions, Herr Rittmeister 2" "What view?" asked Steinhausen, quickly. "I have not yet had a chance of seeing it." "Why, Lies," cried her father im patiently, "why did you neglect my request? "Now, perhaps, the Kittmeister may leave without: seeing the best view from the villa or from anywhere else in the neighborhood. "Please conduct him at. once to the upper balcony. I would gladly accom pany you; but letters I have neglected this afternoon must be written, and praj do not miss this fine sunset." ? Lies rose ; silently, hesitated an in stant, and then, bowing to Steinhau sen, led the way through the salon to a staircase ascending to the first floor.. Here the Prussian officer exclaimed: i "I believe it would only be polite in me' to relieve you from the perform ance of a ' task so evidently unwel come; but I should like.vto see the view of which your father spoke." "It is no unwelcome task to show you the beauties of a land so little esteemed by your countrymen." "Little, esteemed! Why do you say so?" , ,s x "That ; is of no ; consequence, - Pray follow me, and confess that Saxoijy at least has beauty of which you cannot deprive her." - - - , ' . She smiled as she spoke with some thing of a jest and earnest," preceding him upstairs and r through another salon .which- Steinhausen. had not yet seen. ' ' . " The long "Frerncn wmaows of this apartment opened on a balcony which ran along the north side of the house, and, passing, through one .of them. Lies leant against the balustrade, and with a i silent but , expressive gesture stretched out her . hand . toward ; the wide landscape, and then let it slowly fall to her side. - " - ? Pi'c-occupied as Steinhausen was by ' his eagerness to improve this nrob- ably last tete-a-tete with the object of his admiration, he was for a few sec ond riveted by the unusual beauty of the view before him. - " - -Below. rolled the broad silver "silent highway" of the Elbe. , ' A v wide-spreading plain to the, left was sprinkled with villages, each clus tering round church or tower; and far away the domes and steeples of : the capital were dimly discernible. At the other side of the river the banks stretched more o- Jess steeply up to the forest' heights, which- again led up to the Bohemian mountains; and to the right, like isolated giants. , stood the rocky masses of the Sillensteia, and the royal, fortress-crowned Kb nigsteln, all steeped in the golden halo of a glowing autumnal sunset, all sleeping in "a stillness so profound as almost to be felt '- Steinhausen looked at the fair; scene in silence, and the grave . expression of his companion's face deepened and softened into sadness. ' She leant her elbows on the parapet, and rested her cheek on her clasped hands. ' At length a low sigh, unconsciously breathed, struck oa the Kittmeister's ear. He turned his dark, stern eyes upon the figure beside him. . "To-morrov.,"" he began, in a softer Uone than -Jiwraal, and paused "te-mor row,- then, I leave Bergtelder, and per haps, may never again behohi this .loveliness." (Hers or that of the ' scenery?) . " vTeHlme, now. that I am a moment alone with you, why you hate me and all Prussians. ' "There is much I want to ask; but this first." "I do not hate ycu; why should I hate an unoffending stranger? Your nation! Well, I do not love it." "Why?" asked Steinhausen: receiv Ing no answer, he" repeated, "Why?" - "Surely," cried Lies, quickly, raising her head and looking full at him, "you can answer that question yourself! Herr von Steinhausen is sufficiently well read to be able to recall the his torical facts of centuries past from the old Brandenburg days and the Seven Years' war, downto the present unhappy struggle. Prussian policy . has always been the same, aggressien and annexation!" Steinhausen laughed. "What can you expect?" he said; "ours is no saintly sphere of impossible virtue, but a World of ordinary human ity, where might makes indefensible right!" "It is a robber's maxim," said Lies haughtily, and turning, stepped back into the salon. . : Steinhausen followed sharply, plac ing himself between her and the door; Lies stopped in some surprise. "Is that all? Have you no more to advance against us?" "I have, perhaps, already said too much, considering what hospitality de mands," she replied. "Hospitality! meine Gnadige," ex claimed the Kittmeister, with a pro voking laugh, "do you not mistake the position? "We are not here by invitation, but in 'obedience to our general's order as victors! "It is true, we have been well re ceived and entertained, but had it been otherwise, we should have taken all we required and more; as conquerors, we are masters at least, for the present." Lies looked at him astonished, as if she could not, at once, quite compre hend the brutality of this speech; then the sensitive lips began to quiver; and in spite of her proud carriage, the large blue eyes were suddenly suffused with indignant tears. "Let .me pass," she said; "you are " she stopped; Steinhausen fin ished thd sentence for her "a rude barbarian!" and he placed himself reso. lutely against the door. "Yes! you are so earnest yourself that you take my half jest seriously; will you believe my whole earnest?" he went on, eagerly, hurried by an im pulse he felt was utter folly, yet which he could not resist. "I cannot, and will not; leave you without some explanation some solu tion of the doubts which are so mad dening! "Do you not see you have cast a spell upon me? "Short as the time is, resent the avowal ss you may, I must and will tell you that I love you love you In tensely" He tried to take her -hand. On twenty-four hours', acquaint ance!" she replied, with good-humored mockery, although she turned very pale and looked anxiously at the door. "You dare not scorn the feeling you have evoked," exclaimed Steinhausen, quickly; then, seeing the alarm that would speak In her eyes in spite of her efforts to seem coldly calm. "Mein LieberJ he Qontlaue.d"iou do not fear me; "Sweetest! best! I love you; I would not disturb or distress you for worlds; if if you are free, do not reject me! ' "Nay, let me hdld your hand one mo ment," resolutely catching and kissing it; "and if as from what I can gather may be the case you are unhappily linked to one who cannot appreciate the treasure fortune has given him, let me atone for the past! the bonds must be strong indeed" if love and daring such as mine cannot break "them; tell me truly, are you; free?"' VI am not Herr Kittmeister," said Lies, greatly disturbed, "and even if I were this is madness!" , i-: "There is, perhaps, a tinge of mad ness in it," returned Steinhausen, Btill holding her handT"but there is truth and reality in it also," he urged, grow ing more eager as she shrank from his "advances. "I must tear myself away to-morrow; let me write to' you! Leave me some straw to cling to; I cannot Ioso,you 1 - - i VHerr Kittmeister," interrupted Lies, collecting ' herself ; and at last releas ing her hand,.. J.f - i "I cannot listen to such folly; if you think for an instant, , you must . see there is almost an insult in such an ab rupt avowal.

Raleigh, Special. Judge Thomas R. Purnell in the Federal Court here created a considerable sensation by charging the grand jury that it would be their duty to return true bills for selling liquor without license against any parties in Raleigh who re ceived samples of whiskey from distil lers or wholesalers elsewhere and sold by these samples to the Raleigh dis pensary or private individuals. It is known that a number of brokers and others have sold to the dispensary and others in this way.

The fight was the result of a dispute over an account. The McFalls began the affray and approached Quitt with drawn knives.

D., pro fessor of history in Trinity College, Durham, has resigned to accept a simiiar chair at Smith College, North ampton, Mass. About two and a half years ago Dr. Bassett wrote an article for a magazine in which he asserted that, with the exception of Robert E. Lee, Booker T. Washington was the greatest man the South had produced in a hundred years. The article at tracted considerable attention throughout the eountry and was the obje-ct of some adverse criticism at the -time. Dr. Bassett tendered his resignation to the college authorities, but they declined to accept it. Sad Death at Maryville. Maryville, Special. A sad death occurred in this city last Wednesday morning when Miss Beryle Goddard, daughter of Nathin and Dorcas God dard, passed into the beyond after an illness of one week, of heart trou ble. Despite the fact that she has been in very poor health for some years, she was very ambitious to se cure an education, sometimes too ill to pursue her studies but would rally and resume until she had just reached the goal which she had so faithfully straggled to attain. She was just rtady to receive her diploma from the Blount county high, school, when she was suddenly stricken down, one week before her death, with the fatal heart trouble. Telegraphic Briefs Captain Garst and Lieutenant-Commander Witherspoon, of the battle ship Rhode Island, were put on trial On charges connected with the recent stranding of that vessel.

KIMISELF Representative Adams, Prom inent an J Popular Takes HSc 'Auyn I tf BROODED OVER MONEY Bepresentative Robert Adams, One of House's Most Popular and Con spicnons Members,: Shoots Bxmself to Death. ? Washington, Special. Representa tive Robert Adams, of Phadelphia, died at the" Emergency Hospital from the effects of a self-inflicted bullet wouud. Mr. Adams was discovered in a dying condition in his apartments at the Metropolitan Club chambers. He was sitting in a chair. A bullet wound in his mouth and pistol lying near him made it clear that he had at tempted suicide. A letter received by Speaker Can- non from Mr. Adams explained the cause of the suicide. Mr. Adams said in the letter that his debts exceeded his resources and forced him to aban don his official position. While ha did not indicate an intent to take "his life, he spoke of the form of his burial, indicating that he had then made up his mind to commit the rash act. Dr. Nevitt, the coroner, issued a certificate of death by suicide, saying that it was such a clear case no in quest would be necessary. The House Shocked. Not in' years has there come to th membership of the lower House of Congress such sudden gloom as came with the poing out of Mr. Adams. But lately having charge of thee dip lomatic' and consular bill, he showed energy and activity, getting the, bill through the House with less friction than usual, few, amendments being made to the measure. When the house convened there was an especially large membership present and when the chaplain re ferred to the death of the late Con gressman, members were visibly af fected. An Unparalleled Scene. Then came a scene that has nevei had its parallel in the historic cham ber of the nation rs law-making body. The Speaker rose and asked that the House indulge him while he read a letter from the dead, a letter received while the life of Robert Adams was passing away. A silence fell on the House that but the day before wa9 surcharged with animation. Tho let ter was as follows: "Washington, May 31, 1906. "Hon. J. G. Cannon. "My Dear Mr. Speaker: "The fact that my personal obliga tions exceed my resources is my only excuse for abandoning the responsible position I occupy in the House. I am willing to be buried at its expense, but I ask that no committee be ap pointed or memorial services held, s I have never been in sympathy with the latter custom. 'With assurances of my high re gard " Sincere! v yours, "ROBERT ADAMS.' Following the reading of the letter. Mr. Morrell presnted a resolution directing the sergeant-at-arms make the necessary arrangements for the funeral, the expenses to be paid out of the contingent fund of the House, and then, as a .further mark of respect, the House adjourned. Representative Adams was one of the most ixmnlar RpTvrpcAntfiroo ; Congress and he has ben identified with many matters of world-wida importance. Lynchers Under Bond. Wadesboro, N.
