The sugar pla.) duof Louisiana met in convention at JsTew Oileuns, Mon day, and went over to the republican putty in a body, declaring in favor of the principle of proiecuoii to A me. ic.,n industries and pledging their suppo.t to co-igressional candidates who will jttand by the national republican pariy in the organization of the house It is expected his action of the sugar plant ers will give the republicans tlnee con-, gressmen from the state. The demo crats will then be relieved of tbe charge of legislating in the interests of the solid South, and especially the Loul ttiia sugar plautere, aud therefore ought to be able to gain more than enough congressmen from other quarters to offset their loss in Louisiana. But tbe sugar plituters will never get back their bounty. The McKInley law is re pealed, iind nothing like it can lie re enacted for three years, at least, and by that time the question of sugar boun ties will have beeu so thoroughly ven tilated that the scheme will have no following outside the two or three sugar-producing states. The campaign of education on the sugar bounty has been inaugurated by the beneficieries, but it may not end to their satisfaction. Eastern Oregon farmers cau not afford to raise wheat for 27 cents a bushel, and they have the same right as themigar planters toask the government to make up the deiiuUMiey. : : :! . f ' JJlillllOlll.

Copyright, 1887, by Harper & Bros. ' (Concluded from last week.( All this while she pleasantly . wel comed him back to America, and asked him in. His honest' face, which had aged more than was natural in a year and a half, betrayed the disappoint ment he felt when Mrs. Loring, and not Tilda, opened the door. "Ees Tilda gone out?'? he asked., "Yes," she answered; "that is" (long ing to gain a little time), "she left me over a month ago." Here she paused, and the pity that was In her heart crept into her face, and Nicholas per ceived it. 1 "Ees anyting com at hare?" he asked, in an awe-struck tone. "Ees she died?" "No, my poor fellow," answered Mrs. Loring, laying her delicate white hand kindly on his big red one. "Sit down a minute, arid try to be brave and strong, for I have something very hard to tell you.'! . Nicholas obeyed, his weather-beaten cheeks blanching under the brown,and his honest blue eyes holding so much wondering distress" in them that Mrs. Loring's task became indeed hard. "It is better to know the worst than to wait,", she said. "Tilda has been very cruel and untruthful to you, and she is married to an" A heavy groan arrested her words. She had spoken with averted eyes, shrinking from gaz ing upon the pain she was giving. Now she saw that he had sun k forward in a limp heap, head and shoulders burled in his arms upon the table. Per fect silence followed the groan, and Mrs. Loring respected It; but as min utes past, and he neither moved nor made a sound, she spoke to him. Re ceiving no answer, she touched his shoulder; he did not move. Then she knew the big man had fainted. There was icewater in the dining-room, and quickly getting a glass, she turned bis head so as to bring the face outward, and dashed a little in it. The effect was immediate. He opened his eyes and lifted his head. For a moment he was quite dazed; then all came back to him, and he staggered to his feet. ' "I will ko." he said, heavily, half feeling, half looking about him for his hat. ' - : ' 'V'-1" ; "No, indeed, my poor fellow!" ex claimed Mrs. Lorinsr; "not yet. You must let me warm you some tea before you go out. I am afraid you are not well." And she motioned him to sit down. Then he saw the splash of water on the table and the front of her dress (for she had spilled it in running), and putting his hand to his eMrt collar, felt it there. He thought an instant, and the meaning came to him. "I hev mek trooble," he said, hum bly; "I- hev trayvel so far, an' I hev sometime not eat mush, an' mar heart dey's gone;" and his voice broke. Mrs. Loring was putting the tea on the stove as he spoke. After stirring the Are she sat down by him. "I am so sorry for you!" she said, earnestly. "I wish I could help you bear your trouble, but I am afraid nobody can; but Tilda has been wicked and fickle, and you must try to forget her." ; Nicholas winced; he could not hear the rosy little woman that had so long been . dear to him harshly spoken of even now. "Ef you please, Meesis Lo'lng, mebbe some mar letters been los'. Mebbe see tink I forgat hare, de vway so lots odder mans does." , , Mrs. Loring thought indignation would be a good tonic, and replied: "No; she received every one of your let tersone every two weeks till she was married; and since, for what I know. But she said she couldn't wait for a man that loved his father and mother more than her."" The diversion was partly successful, "Ah, mar poor old , moder!" he ex claimed, the blood mounting to his face. : "I'm breeng bare, fom all whut de tings see know, an' fom uvry tings see love, for Tilda. An' ve leev mar fader-in deys grave fen deys Likkista flowers is not dead, for Tilda! Ah, see never love me!" , - "No," said Mrs. Loring, "I'm afraid she never knew what true love was. And your father is dead? ' Tell me about it." ; "Tank you," he said. "Dey's one monfc' sence he die. He been seek uver sence fen dat time dey sen' for me. Dey's par'l'sis he hev. He kenenty valk,;he kenenty do noting wid hees bands, he kenenty eat heself, an' all whut tings he knows ees fen he's hun gry ; an' he's beeg as me, an' mar moder kenenty leeft em, so I got to stay.! Den dat bank fare I hev all money whut I hev save, dey break, an' I got no money; an' I kenenty work mush fen my fader seek, and fen he die we hev debt and trooble togedder. Ve hev asmall lands, an' I tale mar moder ve sell uvryting an' com to Amer'ca. " See cry an' cry; but I tale see I hev promise, un' I love Tilda, an' see hev vwated longer time, so mar moder com.. Fen ve hev sell all an' pay de debts, ve heventy mush, an' fen ve got teekets on de steamer an' de cars, ve got so leetle lef dat all de yay comin' ve kenenty eat mush so I am a schild yust now." "You are a man every Inch and a good man!" exclaimed Mrs. Loring, with her eyes full of tears; "and a girl like Tilda don't deserve you. Tell me where your good bid mother is, and I Swedish for coflin, , will go to see her tomorrDW. You are sober and industrious, and' you will soon have plenty of work, and till you get it you must let us help you. You can pay back every cent we lend you with interest, if you want to," she added. "And now drink some tea and eat something." . As she spoke she set the tea and some bread and butter and meat on the table; then, with an "I'll be back directly," she disappeared, and busied herself in the store-room arrang ing a package of tea aud sugar and other little things that would be ap preciated by an old woman. When she thought he had had time to finish his supper she returned. "Take these to your mother," she said. . "An old person needs little things that younger people can get along without, and it's too late now to get anything; the stores will all be shut." As fine an instinct as Mrs. Loring's own helped Nicholas to accept the gift and. the kindly ruse together, saying, simply, as he rose to go: "Dey's vay kind, Meesis lo'lng; see tank you vay mush, an' I tank you for all whut de tings you do for me. I got not so much trooble fen I got you kindness." The next day Mrs. Loring fulfilled her promise of calling upon old Mrs. Jansen, and indeed kept them both upon her mind until Nicholas found steady work, and they were comfort ably settled. Indeed, she never quite lost sight of hem. until they left the city to live elsewhere, five years later; for the old lady would come every month or two to pay her respects, and was employed by Mrs; Loring to knit mittens, etc., for the children, and sometimes on 6unday she met the pair on their way to church, or walking in the afternoon, Nicholas always with his old mother on his arm. Never once did she see a younger woman with him. But she did not see Tilda for over three years from the day she left her, and supposed she had left the city, more especially as her husband had some thought of doing so when they were married. But one morning, at the end of that time, she was told there was a woman In the kitchen who want ed to see her. The woman was wretch edly clad, thin, haggard and scared looking. Could she be? yes, she was Tilda. . ' ' Mrs. Loring was shocked. "Come into the dining room"," she said. "I must see you 'alone.. I fear you are in great trouble." : ' : ! . Poor Tilda! Mrs. Loring's kind, familiar voice quite broke her down, and '; she could do nothing but sit and sob. It was evident, as she tottered from the kitchen, that her strength was nearly spent, so Mrs. Loring did not try to make her talk until she had brought her a little tea. Then her story came out the old one which so many of us have heard: a husband given more and more to the vice of drinking, and her life one of neglect, cruel treatment, and want. She had already borne three ; children, the youngest of whom was not yet two weeks old, and was huddled under her shawl, and all of them were starving. Mrs. Loring, as usual, was equal to the emergency. She telephoned for a hack, and while it was coming, hastily prepared a bundle of immediate neces sities, and was soon with Tilda in the wretched place she called home, where she saw the poor creature back into her bed, and paid a neighbor to see to her and the children till she should be stronger; but the exposure had been too great, and she died the next week. On one of the last days in which she had intervals of consciousness she beckoned Mrs. Loring, who had come to see how she was, to the bed. "Nicholas come back In America," she said. Mrs. Loring nodded assent. "Yes; I see him oftenr Tilda." " ' "I hev see em on a street, free year 'go," Tilda continued, Speaking with difficulty; "em say noting, but em look, so Itink God lookin' at me!" 'v'--;' She had not spoken so much before for many hours, and her voice died weakly away. Mrs. Loring thought she was about to lapse again into un consciousness, but watching a second she noticed a voiceless motion of the lips and an anxious look in the eyes, that showed she was trying to hold her wandering mind till strength should come to speak again. , . . "Would you like to say something to him, Tilda?" she asked, gently. . ,. A look of relief came to the poor pinched face. 'JTal em," she began, faintly "talem ask em " Her mind was slipping from her, and she seemed to clutch for it until she should have finished; bnt her thoughts would no longer shape themselves in English, or remember a mediating third party. "O Kara van! forlat mig, for jag bar handlat ilia, Gud har straff at mig och, forlat forlat mig," she whispered, hoarsely. The last words died in an almost inarticulate murmur, and she passed again into an unconscious state, from which she did not again rally.
