There was y no use prolonging, a
conversation to hopeless, i . , t
She was both angry and scornful,
and She; sought but' Bar' 'mother and
found her resting in her own room.
"I get tired soon In the day, Jane,"
he said, "I think it Is the London air,
and the strange life, and the constant
fear of some change. ' No one seems
to know- what a day will bring forth.
Did you see Stephen?"
. "Yes." . . ' .1 ;..
'Jit can't be, I suppose?"
"You know IV can't be, mother!"
She was hurt at" the Question. It was
a wrong to Cluny, and she said with
some temper,' "it could not be under
any circumstances. The man Is mean,
he has. Just threatened me. If I had
not been a woman I would have given
Wm- bis threat back In his teeth. I
would rather be Cluuy's wife, it Cluny
bad not a crown." "
The next day Cyralin went to Jev
ery House and reported on his return,
Ita forlorn emptiness. ' There were
only two or thcee servants there, and
they had ao -idea when the family
would return. '''',..

, Cromwell opened the discussion by
reminding the members that he had
al reaty held more' than a doxen meet
ings, In order to Induce Parliament -to
Issue an Actior the election of a new
Parliament, and then discharge Itself.
'This is what the people want . in
every corner of the nation," he said,
"and they are laying "at Our doors
the non-performance of this duty and
of their wishes." . - 1
Hazelrlg reminded him ibat Parlia
ment bad determined to dissolve on
the 3d Of the ensuing . November,
after calling for a new election.
"'"It is .now only the 19th of April,"
answered Crcmell, sharply, ''Give
me leave to tell you that the 3d of
November will not do. Such a. far-off
promise Is bnt words for. children.!,, 1
will better it. I will say to-morrow.
This speech . had a marked ' effect

to let the. bin for perpetuating them

CHAPTER IX. "'"
,i Cromwell Interferes.,
Daylight came with that soft radi
ance of ' -sunshine over fresh green
things which makes spring so delight
ful,. Early In the morning Jane's
friends ' called 'fof' her, and they
went away together -full of youth's
enthusiasm , and anticipation.. They
took the road to the river, and to the
Sound of music and the falling and
dipping of ' the oars they reached
Richmond and soon , spread tbe con-
tents of their hampers upon the grass
under some great oaks In the seclud
ed park. "
After a happy, leisurely meal, they
spent the rest of their holiday In wan-
derlng through, ' the palace, until its
melancholy, monastic grandeur sub
dued them alfaost to silence.
. It. was ' like passing, from death
bnto life to come out of these caverns
Into the light and glory? of the west-

formation. The next momr-nt Mrs,
waffbam came hurriedly forward.
'. ','ilothur,".-cried Jane, "wuai is the
matter? , Wha,t baa happuiied?" And
Mrs. Hwaflliam answered:
"The strangest thing that ever hap
pened in England." . . .
Even while she spoke they heard
Oen. Swaffham coming ' up the steps,
the clatter of his arms emphasizing
his perturbed feelings. ' He had
scarcely entered the door ere Doctor
Verity came Into the hall crying:
"Is it true. Israel Is It true?"
"Quite true." '
' "And well done?"
"Well done. I am sure of It."
Men. and women went Into the par
lor together, and a servant began to
remove the General's cavalry boots
and spurs. "I told you, Doctor, this
morning, that a settlement of some
kind must, come to-day. When I
reached Whitehall I found the Lord
General waiting for Sir Harry Vane
and the members who had promised
to come and continue the conference
relating to the bill early In the day.
The General was occupying himself
with a book, but as the hours went
by he grew restless and laid It down
Then be-, .turned to me and said,
'Truly these men are long In coming
are you ready, General?' and before
I could answer be asked again 'ready
and willing?' I told him a word
would move my troop as one man
If that word came from himself, and
lie waited silently a little longer,
Then Lord Cluny Neville came. in
very hastily, and said a few words, I
know not what they were, and he had
scarce gone when Col. Ingoldsby en
tered, and there was no secrecy then.
f "'My lord!' he cried, 'Parliament
Is Bitting at this moment, and Sir
Harry Vane, Sidney and Henry Mar
ten are urging the Immediate pass
age of the bill so hateful to ' the
whole nation.'
"Then Cromwell roused himself
bauble away!"
like an angry lion. His passion at
this perfidious conduct' leaped Into
name, he shouted to Lambert and his
own. troop of Ironsldes.j He gave me
the signal I understood, and we went
quickly to. the. Parliament house.
"But. what "then!"! asked' Doctor
Verity, his face burning with the
eager soql behind it , ' . .:
"I stood at the door watching hlnn
my men being In the lobby. He
went to his 'usual seat,', but In a
very great and majestic manner, and
for a- little while he-listened to the
debate, "Then he. -beckoned Major
General Harrison and told him he
Judged 'it was" .high time to dissolve
this Parliament.' .And Harrison told
me this afternoon, that he advised
Cromwell to consider what he would
do, for It was a work great and dan
gerous and who,, he asked, Ms suffi
cient for it?' And Cromwell answer
ed, 'The Servant of the Lord, he is
sufficient,' yet ' he tat'ilown. again;
looking at me as be did so, and I look
ed back straight into his eyes that
I and mine could be depended, on. ,
"In a few minutes the question for
passing the bill was put, and the man
could be restrained, ho longer. ' 1 He
stood up, took off his hat, and looked
around the House, and it quailed
under his eyes, every man In. it shift
ed on 'his seat and was uneasy. He
began to speak, and It was with a
tongue of flame. He reproached
them for their self-seeking and their
hypocrisy and oppression, and as he
went on, there was the roar of a lion
In his voice, and the members, being
condemned of their own consciences.
cowered before him."
"Did no one open their mouth
against him?" ' ' ' '
"No one but Sir Peter Wentworth.
He said, 'My Lord General, this Par
liament has- done great things for

his abuse of the Parliament was the
more horrid because It came from the
servant of ; the Parliament, the man

At these words Dr. Veritv lanehprt

no Parliament, and that he had bees

and their prating.
"And at these words Cluny Ne
ville spoke to the Sergeant, and he
opened the doors, and some musket
eers entered the House. Then Sir
Harry Vane cried out, "Ibis is not
honest, and Cromwell reminded him
of his own broken promise, and they
began to go out, at first slowly, and
then In a hurry, treading on the heels

"What of LeMhall? He has a stub

"He sat still In the Speaker's chair,
until Cromwall ordered him to come
down, For a moment he hesitated,
but Gen. Harrison said. 'I will lend
you my band, sir;' and so he also
went out."
"But was there no attempt to stay

"Alderman Allen, the Treasurer of
the Army, as he went out said some

very much; and he then and there

"After the Speaker had left, what

"His eye fell, upon the Mace, and he
said scornfully to some of the Iron

The Cost of Census-Taking. ,
The difference between the cost of
securing the returns from the six
simple questions asked in 1790, and
that of the extended Inquiry made
a century later is Illustrated by the
per capita cost, which in 1790 was
1.13 cents, and In 1900, 15.S cents. In
1790 Virginia was the most populous
state in the Union, having 747.610
inhabitants. The records of the
Treasury department show that at
the first census, the cost of making
the enumeration in that state Was
$7,553.90. Moreover, at that enumera
tion, tbe underpaid assistant mar
shals supplied their own blanks, an
Item which was of considerable Im
portance Is tbe days when all paper
was made laboriously by band. In
900 the population of Maine about
700,000 most ' nearly approximated
that of Virginia in 1790.
At the twelfth census the cost of
actual enumeration in Maine, Includ
ing the pay of supervisors, was S34,-
660.90, or more than three-fourths of
the amount expended for the - enu
meration of the entire United States
In 1790, though the' pay of an
enumerator in 1900 did not exceed
the wages of an intelligent day
laborer, The Century.
American Absinthe.
'Absinthe, 'the green terror of
France,' " said a botanist of the Agri
cultural K department, . "is now being
produced .-in considerable quantities
in this country and. Is being used to
an alarming extetii. In Bome sections
of Wisconsin wormwood is being cul
tivated, and It Is from this plant that
oil is distille. for--making absinthe.
There are several wormwood farms
in trat. state.
The5 Wisconsin growers of worm.
wood and distillers of the oil at first
snipped nearly ail their output to
Europe, but now they find a good
market for it In this country, and at
almost fabulous prices. , Of course,
the drug houses of-America furnish a
ready home market. , The, oil is em
ployed in many ways,-but ' Its- chief
uses; arf in. the making of absinthe
and liniments." Washington Star.
' The History of Lifeboats.
It is JUst 113 years since the first
lifeboat .was launched, Lionel Lukin,
a coach builder, of Long Acre, London,
was the invn'fpr A hundred years
ago there were- thirty lifeboats sta
tioned on the, different coasts of Bri
tain. The Royal National Lleboat In-
stitution was founded in 1828. Since
that day it has saved 44,000 persons
from watery graves. . In 1849 a lifeboat
capsized on the Herd Sands, and twen
ty out of a crew of twenty-four 'were
drowned. This accident caused the
Duke -of Northumberland to offer 100
guineas for the beBt lifeboat submit
ted In-open competition. Mr. James
Bceehlng, of Great Yarmouth, won the
prize. In 1S83, and again in 1887.
prizes for the best lifeboat were of
fered, but It seems impossible ever to
design a boat capable of withstanding
all the risks of a tempestuous sea.
Uncertainties. .

"'Oh, I've been out' of employment a

Two Cases in wnicn i neir
Were of Importance.
In 1797 Col. Tate, with the Legloa
Noire, landed near Fishguard, Intend
ing to march on and,' burn Bristol.
When the expedition appeared off ths
coast there was only S' handful of vol
unteers available to oppose them and
Lord Cawdor, who was In command,
mustered all the Welshwomen he
could gather together. Each of these
wore a long red cloak, descending
petticoat fashion almoat to her heels,
and thus attired they were made to
L march and couutermarch.. among tbe
hills, presenting themselves ai oiner
ent points to the view of he enemy
in such a way' as to give 'the Impres
sion of red-uniformed 'troops taking
up position. The French .were so
puzzled by their appearance .that.
though they landed, they could not
make up their minds to advance until,
sufllcient time had elapsed, to raise
the country and bring forward a real
force strong enough to beat them,

; . Heat From Acetyline. ; t,
A comparison between' the heating
properties of acetyline and coal gas
shows that tbe heat units developed
per cubic foot are 1, 850 and 630, re
spectively, the temperature of the
acetyline flame being about 2,000 de
grees Fahrenheit. ' With an acetyline
burner consuming two cubic feet of
gas an hour a quart of water : was
brought from a temperature of about
60 degrees to tile boiling point In about
8 minutes. Under similar conditions
It required 10 minutes for the Il
luminating gai to accomplish ths
same results, though the burner used
sixteen cubic feet of gas per hour.
Nerves 'and the Piano.
An eminent Berlin perve specialist,
who had his attention attracted to the
chronic nervousness of many pianists,
has been studying the piano, from the -pathological
point of view. Out of
1,000 young girls whom he examined,
each of whom-, had begun to study the
piano under 14 years of age, no less
than 600 had some nervous malady,
while out of 1,000 who bad never stud
led the Instrument only-100 were af
flicted.' ' The specialist, therefore, has
promulgated ths theory that' no child
should be allowed to learn the. piano
