How Some Senators Are Elected. Rockford Star: Peculiar are the method employed these dollar-mark days to reach a seat in the senate. It was the commercial spirit th.it caused the reelect im of Chauncey M. Depew. Former Gov. Odell had the senator from Vanderbilt beaten. Then the erstwhile governor turned turtle anl I)1ew was reelected. The bargain called for the placing of E. H. Harri- ni an on the .New lurK ventral uirec ory and Iiepew to pay Odell's losses in the ship building trust, said to amount I to S123.0Mi. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania reached the senate by a similar com merclal pnceed?ng. The story of the deal as puhlishei in the Pittsburg Times is that 4eorg? T. Oliver, the Pittsburg millionaire refused to accept the place if obliget to assume the $::mmmh notes he lull signed by M. S. Quay, and that Cas- aft. Frick and Archibald, the latter of the Standard Oil company, agreed to assume the not est and named as their man P. C. Knox. Mr. Knox is a man of ability and may make a useful senator. Hut tha SiMMMto will have to be paid back in some way. If may not be by the actua return of the $M.tMo. commercial senators having n different way of meeting debts of honor. Th? corjiora fions will get $3uMoU worth of good out of Senator Knox. Tbat Tmx on II Idea.

Of that there could !e no complaint so long as the reduction was no more than enough to cover the greater part of the tax but when the tax was removed the trust did not make good the quantity or reduce the price.

COrlglnaLl The Ducbess Pnchelli sat In her bou doir reading the morning paper. It was winter. Int the dnclies was spending the season at Imt villa at Nice, and from Ler window. Into which the warm sun shone, slie could look down the quay lined with tropical plants. Twenty years," she mused, "since I came here, and what a change In my condition! What dangers I have passed to gain my present iiosltiori! One by one I Lare got rid of all who could os sibly drag lue down. There was Nicho las Vnssaliovitcb. who knew more than be should know of my antecedents, but he has gone to Sileria. Tbat was a neat Job of mine, proving an innocent man's guilt. Then there was Constan ts, whom I also led by the nose like my pjodle till it suited me to try my ring ou hi in. after which be dbnl so suddenly that the police half suspect ed.

It was a bad failure, my putting the police on his track to arrest him. and the worst of It was that he knew I was the insti gator. Itut I was inexperienced then, and. after nil. we soMlers of fortune must make some mistakes, and I am conscious of having made but one. I hope Andreas has cither died naturally or been executed under nn assumed name. He was a vindictive man and" "Good morning, your grace." A mail with shocky red hair and freckles, dressed in the garb of a peas ant, had stepjK-d Into her boudoir. The countess looked at hlru with all the hauteur she could summon. "Your grace doi not remember me," he said. "I do not. I beg you will leave by the door you entered." "Not till I have refreshed your mem ory. Twenty years ago v little peasant girl was a scullion in the villa of a family in this place. She was endowed with great lK'iiuty iind. though she was but fourteen years old. had her lovers. Her brain was very quick, mid she had u keen sense of the Juisrtance of get ting on In the world. A young carpen ter Andreas, we will call hiui for the want of u lM-tter name fell iu love with her. iumI she, wishing to get out of the kitchen, married him. It was be who gave tlie little scullion Iter start. She studies! bard aud iu two years knew enough to pass for a lady. "This Ainlrviis, u-r husband, adored his young wife, not yet eighteen, ami as she wished to dress In keeping with her knowledge and her beauty he scut all be could iu;tke at bis trade upon her. Then when he could not make enough to satisfy her demands she icrsuadcd hiin to turn counterfeiter. She was shrewd enough not to be mixed up in his ruin when it came. Indeed, it was she who informed on bim. Itut be was too quick for her and the police and tied to America. "Hut Andreas love, turned to hate. grew through tho years, and as each year he sauk lower be wished to return aud take bis revenge. Hut he never dared remain anywhere l.uig enough to accumulate sutlicieiit funds to make a Journey which, after nil. might lead to bis arrest and Imprisonment. At last he went to a new town in the far vst and worked at his trade till be saved enough to go iu search of bis Itcautiful wife. He found that after he bad left her she had ensnared a duke, that be had died and left her bis fortune, that society had oened its exclusive diors to tier, but ii love for adventure and vil laluv had led her to take service as a spy tor crow ned heads a lieiiian to en trail the rulers enemies and that many a Ms-ret murder was laid up gainst her. "And where, my good man." asked the duchess, deadly white, "did you learn all this?" I met In New York a Russian who, under the charge of being a Nihilist. had leen sent to Siberia, from whence, after twelve terrible years of exile, he escaped ami fled to America." The duchess started. "His name,'" she asked under her breath. "Nicholas Vassaliovltch." The duchess staggered as though struck by a blow mid caught at the back of a chair. It was fortunate," the mau contin ued, "the meeting of these men. An dreas ii nd Nicholas, for they both wlshiil for revenge.

Suddenly the duchess s(eped to a cabinet. oened a drawer, turned with dagger in her band and was about to sprinc uimjii the man when she saw that he had covered her w ith a revolv er. Turning the weapon upou berself, she sank down on the floor. "Gendarmes" called the intruder. Two policemen, beaded by a man in citizen's dress, sprang up the stairs and Into the room. "Well ended" said the citizen. "This saves my imperial master much an noyance." Then, turning to the man who had called, he added. "Come with me and you aball have your passport for America."
