CHAPTER III. A STARTLIHO AX'USATION. "Something's wrong I" Paul Dalton uttere-l the words more than onee upon the c ay that preceded the meeting of two p 'eclous rogues at the Bidgeton tavern. The field hands repeated them as they cast askance glances thoir master. Farmer John was "out o' sorts," "in the dumps," with a tompor "exceedingly contrariwise," and a faoe that lowered tike a rain-fringed cloud. All that day he barely spoko to Ruth; he treated Dalton wllih gruff incivility; and woe betide the iaboror whom he caught shirking his duty. "Wheat's gone down." "No; ho's been cauht on a bad horsetrade." "Meboe it's Dalton. He's getting rather spoony on the ijirl, and you know Farmer John has 8-)t his heart on a match with Ralph Pr-sseott." Theso and like ge ssipy explanations floated on the air all very far from the true solution to the u ystory of Farmer John's bed temper, however. Meantime, with Ralph Preseott nursing and developing hi i spite, ami Farmer John storing up wrath for a near explosion, there were two huppy, unconscious eouls that saw only gold in the dazzling Bunshlne, and fancied the songs of the birds the sweetest music, in harmony with hearts vibrating to new and delightful emotions. ' They loved, thes- two, Ruth and jratu; tney naa lovoa long ana purely, but in unexpressed fervor. Now, with the revelation of the white violets, their eyes spoke; a tell-tal flush, an ardent glance, a murmured term of endearment brought them t) the threshold of life's sweetest, holiest experience. If a memory of a false position and a mysterious past shalowed the lover's heart momentarily he drove it away. If a tl ought of the stern will of the erratic grandsire, of t er stubborn father, with eyee- blinded to the deficiencies of Ralph Preseott, eame to Ruth's mind she blotted ft out with a realization of the great blls that had oome into her life to overshadow it all. So thes e two golde n hearts, with unseen barriers already placed between them, glided on to the bitter fate that man's st btlety and the workings of a stern, morciless destisy were weaving for them. "I'll not speak," muttered Farmer John as he entered the house for supper, "I'll not make a mis ako and accuse an innocent man. I'll wait once more. I should miss a penny the way I have fixed thiigs, and I'll watch agnin. The next thiif who visits my room gets caught." He wai; silent and unsocial all the evening meal. Had he been less absorbed, in his grim suspicious thoughts of those present, however, he woidd have noted the lurking figure of Ralph Preseott its he stolo into the house and then stole out of It again. The mnal over, with a quick glance at Ruth, Paul Dalton left the room. The fanner supposed he had gone to his own ttpartment a: id sat down to read the weekly newspaper. At his task for it was suoh that evening, with his mind torn with conflicting doubts Farmer John moved restlessly, lay down the paper, took it up again, pondered, dozed ani finally fell into a nap. He wait aroused at out nine o'clock by the entr&nce of Paul Dalton, apparently from np Ktalrs. A minute later Huth appeared, her cheeks Hushed, her eyes vaguely ques tioning tie keen glance her father fast ened upon her. About to ask her if she had been to visit a girl friend on the noxt farm, John Elliott was interrupted by tne entrance of two farm hands. They t ad decided to leave his employ with the "morning, and, according to agreement had come for their pay. "Better stay in a comfortable home for the winter, boys," sjoko Elliott, always consider ite to his hi lp. Ko, ite men were obdurate. They had quit) a little store of savings, and their amoition was t try the attractions in the way of money-making of the great, magnetic city. au right, wnan ao l owe yon? queried :he farmer. "He'll tell, he's got it all down in black and white," returned one of the men, with a nod to Paul, whose figures never made a mistake iu their admiring conviction. Paul ijot down the books and stated the amount. Farmer John took out his keys, and, lamp in hand, proceeded to his room up-stairs. Those below heard a startled cry a minute liter. Then the angry tramp of a hurried man's feet, and John Elliott re-entered the room. His fuee was wt ite with passion, his eyes were terrible. Absorbed with some overwhelming emotion, he seemed on the verge of ohokin ?. In one hand, he 1ore the lamp, la the other, a roll of ban (-notes. Placing the lamp on the table, t -embling like a leaf, a pent-up volcano of rage, he counted oat sevoral of the bill, and extended them to the wonder ng Paul Dalton. "There's your month's pay," he said, in a ton ) that grated on RuthM ularmed ears uctil she shuddered. "Take it, pack your traps and go!" "Mr. Elliott!" orled Dalton, in dumfounded bewilderment, "what does this mean?"' "Got" snapped the farmer, savagely. "Be wiB'j, young man, don't tempt mo to speak! You know why. I've found you out. Go, while you may; before I forget that you were once honest, once a help to me. Go!" "Fathsr, are yon mad?" cried Ruth, advancing to Elliot :'s side. "This ain't your place to speak," interrupted the fanner eter lly, putting her away with his hand. "Paul Walton, I have no time to if aste on you. You've heard ire go!" "Not until I knov what this extraordinary accusation means," responded Walton firmly, and flushing with indignation. "Wh!; does It mean!" fairly roared Elliott, losing all control of himself. "You will have the truth, will you? You won't leave mattem as they are? What does it mean? Due you ask me, ingrate, hypocrite?" Ruth Elliott turned frightfully pale, but an indignant flush appeared on either olieek. "Father!" she cried reproachfully. "Do not forget that Mr. Walton is a gentleman. "A gentleman!" biased out Farmer Elliott, "No, I call him t, thief!" CHAPTER IV. ; DXHC UNCKD, tihe neene that ensued to the wild declaration of Former John was a startling tableau. Somewhere bae!t in Paul Walton'n life there had been a time when that proud spirit of his 'vould ha ve sprang to

arms in a flush, at the touch of the goad oi Injustice, Then, with superb control, and remembering that his accuser was tho father of the woman he loved, the young man folded his nrnia calmly and sold, in clear, steady tones: "Mr. Elliott, you will regret those unjust words. You ore laboring under some honest mistake. I am no thief."' John Elliott tried to crush tho speaker with a single look of uttor incredulity a:id contempt. Then, firm in the conviction that audacious hypocrisy dosorved its fate, with merciless roughness ho told his story. He had missed various sums of money for a month past, first a trifle, then quite a large amount. Some one was In tho habit of feloniously entering his room and rifling the cabinet in which ho kept his money. At six o'clock that evening ho had visited his room, assured himself of the exact contents of tho cabinot, and had locked it securely. Since then, no one had gone Into the upper portion of the house except tho aoeusec. At this statement, Dnlton's Hps moved as if to speak. Then with a start and a glance at Ruth, ho allowed it to ao uncontradicted. Wher he went up stairs to obtain tho money for the men, Farmer John perceived to his amazement, as ho opened tho cabinot, that two packages of banknotes, representing nearly four bund rod dollars, wero missing. Ho had entortainod grave suspicions of his superintendent before. Impulse drove him to enter his room. A disarranged pillow on tho bed directed a search. Beneath it ho had found one of the packages, the one now in his hand. More than that, on tho floor of the room ho had picked up a key. It fitted to the cabinet. Paul Dalton was an accomplished thief. "You entered my room to-night," was the unwavering accusation; "you stole the money." "He is innocent!" A wild, convincing cry, expanding with the certainty of proof, sentient with tho trustfulness of a loving woman's heart, tho words rang forth from Ruth Elliott's lips. She knew! Oh! with happy, fervent delight she realized the frail rock of certainty upon whioh her prejudiced father had erected a stupendous fabric of suspicion. "Girl!" scowled Elliott angrily, "I told you once that this is no concern of yours." "No, it is mine alone," interrupted Walton quickly. "Ruth," he whispered tumultuously, "silence! To reveal tho truth, iu his present mood, would invoke his deepest anger." With a moan Ruth Elliott sank to a chair, her face colorless, hor heart fluttering like an imprisoned bird. Paul Walton had spoken truly. He was innocent; she knew it. Ho had not been near his room that evening, A loving tryst at the moonlit glade had filled la those two precious hours, and her lips were sealod, because he had bade hor be silent. Hut he was Innocent. Oh, tho joy of it! Standing there, accused, mute for her sake, her heart went out to him in strengthened lovo. . "You can give up the other package of money or not, as you choose," spoko Farmer John. "I shall not have you arrested on account of your past services, but you must leave this house tonight; you must go at once." "Innocent or guilty?" murmured Wal ton. "Innocent? Does the key show it? Does hidden plunder show it?" "I never saw key or money before. Some one placed them in my room, some enemy "Bah!" scornfully Interrupted Elliott, "you have heard my decision go!" "Ho shall not go." Trejr.bling all over, yet with resoluto face, Ruth stole to the side of her accused lover. She caught his hand in her own. Love, unmistakable, unhidden from all tho world, spoke In her words and attitude. "Are you crazy?" exclaimed hcrfatiier, staring vaguely at her glowing face. "Girl!" in a terrible tone of suspicion, "what does this mean?" "It means that I know him to bo innocentsthat, in one word, I can prove it. He did not steal your money because ho was not in the house to-night he was was not in the house to-night " "Ruth Ruth, siloneel Do you notsee that this will anger' him "I will speak! He was not in the house, because he met me nt the stile. He met mo there because our troth is plighted, and I love htm against all the world, against all your cruel unjust accusations." She flung herself into his arms as she spoke, and then, woman-like, hor strength, resolution, and defiance vanished, and she burst into tears. Into tho amazed faco of John Elliott blazed a furious rage. With a ory more like a roar than anything else, he toro Ruth from tho clasp of hor lover. Roar.jig like a madman, he confronted Paul Dalton, menacing him, anathema-' tizlng him, .ready to crush him with uplifted hands. "Thief! Jliscroant! Hypocrite!" ho fairly choked out. "Oh! I could forgivo a thief of money, but this you serpent, with your smooth, wily ways, to steal my girl's heart go, I warn you, or I will do you harm!" The two astounded laborers, well knowing Farmer John's ungovernable temper, pressed Dalton toward the door. With a last look at the crushed and weeping Ruth, the accused turned upon hor father. "John Elliott," he spoke ill inly, almost sadly, "some day you will rogret your unjust accusation tho truth concerning that will come to light soon. As to Ruth, a heart of stone could not help loving her. You drive me from your door, ruined in reputation and happiness. I will novor darken its threshold again until I can stand before all men, by your own words proven innocent of tho hideous charge you bring against me." "Tho.t will never be. Don't bo in a hurry, Mr. Paul Dalton. I have something to say to you." Tho impressive tableau was rudely disturbed by tho jeering, bantering words. The door had opened, and, his face flushed with drink and excitement, his malevolent eyes glowing with the certaints of a moan and crushing revongo, Ralph Preseott entered the room. "What's this?" thundered Farmer John, his brows knit frowningly. "I've heard your talk from the outside," explained Preseott, glibly. "I've heard this highly Indignant gentleman's high-flown talk, too. He's innocent, is he? Then he's changed from what he onoe was. Time to find him out, Mr. Elliott time to got him out of tho house where he's lurked, a hypocrite, a serpent, so long." "What do you moan?" demanded Farmer John, dubiously, "I mean," replied Preseott, hie face aflame with concentrated delight and malignity, "that Paul Dalton Ih worse than a thief!" "Worse than a thief!" repeated Elliott, excitedly. "Yes, I charge him and I dare hinj to deny it with being an Hx-oonviot!'! T0 UK (;;1TINU5P, v

WHAT OF THE WEATHER

Uncle Barn's Prophets. T yNCLE SAM em ploys tnree professional prophets. says a Washington cor respondent. Their occupation is somewhat like that of the African rainmakers. They foretell tho weat her, predicting wet and dry spells, hot waves and cold waves, floods and gales. So long as their predlciwwtioii8 tti .1 out cor rect nobody pays mucli attention, it i Win,) miuv' (, 1 1 nt7 howls of derision and indignation arlso. People have no use for prophets who exhibit fallibility like ordinary mortals. Prophesying about tho weather Is always an anxious business. It is very different from running an oraole after the Delphic pattern, dispensing ambiguous replies to fool questions. If the rainmaker of the Congo promises a shower and it fails to arrivo ho is discredited as a fraud. It is much tho same way in the Signal Office at Washington, Tho weather reports, which oome by telegraph to the Signal Office at 9 o'clock every night, are curiosities in themselves. Hero is nn actual specimen, illustrating the stylo: Boston, March U. Bushful barmaid damnable bony hirsute pirateIt is wonderful what a lot this means. "Bashful" signifies that the barometer is 30.12 and tho temperature! 30 degrees Fahrenheit. "Rarmaid" tolls that tho wtnd Is from tho north and that flfty-two hundredths of an inch of rain has fallen during tho last twenty-four hours. "Damnable" says that tho velocity of the wind is twenty-two miles an hour and that the highest temperature during the day was 42 degrees. "Bony" declares that tho sky is covered with cirrus clouds. "Hirsute" makos It known that the observations were made at 8 p. m.; that the dew point Is 80 and that the local prediction is for fair weather. "Pirate" communicates tho fact thot the highest wind velocity during tho day was fifty-two miles an hour. Each letter In every word means something, and in this way It Is possible to condense a deal of information within a brief space, each observer having his own key to the cipher for making up dispatches. These dispatches begin to pour In at 9 o'clock iu the evening from 150 signal stations all over the country. As fast as they arrivo they are translated by an expert into ordinary English. He reads them aloud in a sing-song tone, while four skilled men at desks close by jot down tho Information tlioy convey on as many outline maps of the United States. On each map the 150 signal stations aro indicated by as many small circles, in which tho facts noted are penciled with symbols and figures. One operator records tho condition of the clouds and the dtreotion of the wind nt every point. If it is clear at Chicago, for example, he leaves that circle unmarked. Supposing that it is cloudy, ho marks lines across It. If partly cloudy, he shades only one-half of the oirclo. Bain is Indicated by the lotter "R," snow by the letter's." The point from whioh the wind blows is shown by an arrow. By equally simple means the second operator records changes of temperature, and tho third puts down barometric changes. Tho fourth registers tho temperature and barometer ot the time the observations were made, the velocity of the wind and tho amount of rainfall during thVpast twenty-four hours. Theso maps, when finished, present a complete picture of the meteorological conditions at 8 p. m. all over the United States. Upon their showing the prophet only one of tho three Is on duty at any givon time bases his predictions. Meanwhile, however, other things have been going on. Two swift compositors, sitting on tall stools at cases near by, sot up In tabular form the data given in the dispatches as fast as the translator reads them off. Instead of single letters they have typo words and figures in their boxes, decimals to Indicate barometer heights, etc. Thus they arc enabled to do the work with surprising rapidity, and bo accurately is it performed that no reading of proofs is necessary. Tho table made in this way Is to bo printed i.i the righthand lower corner of tho weather map published for the next day. At the same time still another expert sits in front of a brass plate exactly tho size of a weather map of the United States. The plate is perforated with 150 square holes, corresponding in position to the signal stations. They aro not labeled in any way, but ho knows them all by location perfectly, so that when the translator of the dispatches calls off Sacramento or Minneapolis, he fits a little slug of lead into the right hole without a moment's hesitation. The slug bears nn arrow crossing a circle, and the way in which it is sot to point indicates the direction of the wind. I : you will look nt a weather map you will see these arrows scattered nil over it, and will also notice that the circle through which each passes shows the state of the weather at that station, Supposirg that it was clear at tho hour of observation, the circle will be white; if rainy, It will bo black. The usefulness of this brass plato will be presently seen. lh' 1 r , pliot tietH iu Ills Work. At this stage of tho performance, when tho contents of the 1"0 dispatches have all been noted on the mjips, ro?orded upon tho brass plato, und sot up in tj-po, the prophet steps iu. Ho has been keeping nn eye upon the situation nil the while, but now tho timo has come for him to analyze the present situation and forecast the future for one day, two days, three days ahead. Ko wonder that ho pusses his hand through his hair, while his eyes assume a glassy look, premonitory of a prophet ie duck fit, as ho feels the afflatus of inspiration corning upon him. Turning to a clerk at his side, he begins to dictate in a low voice, saying: "For New England, fair weather, westerly winds, followed by increasing cloudiness and probably light snows." And so on until tho prospect for the entire country has been declared in detail. The clerk writes tho forecasts with a stylus in manifold, one copy being handed at ou e to the printers, who set it up in type. All tho words necessary for the purpose are cast entire iu separate types, so that it is quick work; but the case containing them has no less than 1,050 boxes, and that is a good many for tho compositors to keep in mind. The other copies of tho manifold aro pnssed over to clerks, who telegraph tho predictions to tho press associations and to observers in different parts of the country. The copy in typo is to bo printed In thfl left-hand lower corner of the weather map. Before uttering his predictions tho prophet has drawn lines of equal teniperaturo and barometric pressure you may see them on any weather chart upon the map which has boon already prepared with data noted down respecting theso matters. Also, he draws a lino circumscribing the area in which rain is falling. The map is then laid on tho brass plate, the type slugs in which huvo been duly inked, anil n sort of press is shut down upon it, transferring all the arrows and circles to tho map. Thus prepared, the map goes to another room, whore tho lines and arrows nre transferred by rapid processes to a lithographic stone.

The Xlaior maket a better average of accuracy in the forecasts than cither of the others, althougl he relies much loss than thoy upon rutes. Inspiration goes a long way In the business of phrophecy. Incidentally, it Is worth saying that the most Important office of the signal servlco Is not to make predictions, but to study meteorology, for the benefit of fanners chiefly. The advantage to them of being able to obtain tho fullest information respecting climatic conditions in any loctdlty, so that they can know where to settle and what crops lo expect success with, is obviously Incalculable.

SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN. Tralu Kubtierti KeHort to Murder and Fieo Without Ihv Plunder. One of the most during attempts at train robbery that ever occurred in Florida took placo at 1:30 o'clock tho othor morning on the Ja-lisonvlllo, Tampa, and Key West Road, Just north of Monroe Junction, four miles from Sanford, Fla. Tho West India fo.st mull, which left Tampa carrying two express oars, tho United States mails and somo passenger coaches, was boarded at Monroe Junction by four men. When just north of tho junction and while the train was running at about five milos an hour, two of tho men got on the engine and presonted revolvers nt tho heads of Engineer Dumas and his fireman, ordering them to keep quiet at the peril of losing thoir lives. Tho engineer ami fireman being takon by suipriso could do nothing but obey, as ho determined action of tho desperadoes showed they meant what they said: Tho two other men entered the express ears, which wero occupied by Messenger W. N. Saunders and Special Agent I. M. Cox, and attempted to overpower them. The two expressmen, although taken by surprise, made a desperate resistance and the robbors then deliberately shot Saunders, two balls taking effect In his breast and head, killing him instantly. Mr. Cox had his man at bay and was about to subdue him, when tho other robber, after killing Saunders, fired at Cox twice, one ball hitting him in the arm and the other hitting him in the face, the ball penotrating to the left eye. His nose also was shot nearly off. Tho desperato villains then hurriedly and without securing any booty jumped f rora tho car, fearingthat the noise of the firing would bring the train hands to the rescue, and fled to the woods, which aro particularly dense ie that section. There was between $35,000 und $40,000 it. tho safe. Railroads In India. Railway travel ia India may be made very cheap, for although firstclass fare is throe cents a mile, the second-class Is but a cent and a half, aud third-class only a half cent One has little trouble with his baggage at the stations. As soon as the train stops, says the author of "Indiaka." he has only to go to the dour of his compartment and call out, "Kuli hai?" which means, "Is there a porter about?" and the question will be answered by one or perhaps half a dozen barefooted natives. At the time of the decennial pilgrimages, thousands of natives take the train, crowding in wi ;h such persistency that there is no withstanding the pressure. Sometimes the railroad otllcials stand near the cars, and with great bamboo rods beat away the pilgrims, pounding them over the head and shoulders with all their might, in order to prevent the dense crowd from overwhelming the train. The pilgrims and tl:c ordinary natives use the third-class carriages, but Europeans are taking to them very rapidly. When Ilishop William Taylor was making his four years' evangelistic tour through India, he succeeded in set ting that; economical fashion. It was not then considered respectable to adopt such humble means of travel, and he was asked: "Why do you ride in third-class cars?" His reply came on the instant. "Ilecause there are no fourth-class cars!" Since then, it has been respectable for Europeans to travel by any class. Ilualuess Instluct. When the "street" says of a man, "He has a long head for business," it credits him vit,h an instinct for discovering a profitable investment or scenting a bagain, An illustration of this "long head" was given by the late Judge l'ratt, of Oregon, at the beginning of his business career. Mr. Bancroft relates the anecdote in his "Chronicles of the Huildors." During a trip from Portland to Ran Francisco Mr. Pratt and Captain Crosby, the commander of the vessel, conversed about the probable price of lumber iu San Francisco. Pratt thought the vessel's cargo would bring at least $h a thousand feet. "1 wish you would guarantee me that figure," said the captain. "Well," rejoined Pratt, "there is no reason why I should guarantee you any sum, but it seems to me that lumber ought to bring that price there," and he gave his reasons. "Will you buy my cargo, laid down at San Francisco, at $20 a thousand?" asked the caijta'n. "I will:" und a contract was at once drawn up and signed by both parties. As the vessel entered the harbor of San Francisco she was boarded by a purchasing agent of the United States government, who offered $250 a thousand for the cargo. The offer was declined: the vessel went up to the city, where the lumber was sold for $400 a thousand. Mr. Pratt cleared 10,000 by his venture.llmmlnt; VTtl !. Some thirty years ago several farmers put two small flocks of sheep on Monhegan, a bleak and rocky island off the entrance to Penobscot Hay, believing that sheep could take care of themselves almost anywhere. Since then the lloeks have increased to an aggrefmtc of two hundred and fifty head, running wild and receiving no attention whatever. Once a year men have gone to the island and driven the sheep into a pen, sheared them, and marked the lambs. The sheep are now owned by half a dozen persons, some of whom have not seeu the stock for twenty years. Self-Uostmetlon. Statistics prove thai the French commit more suicides than any oilier people on the face ot the earth. A curious thing about it is that half tho whole number in France be-'ong to the northern rtion of the country. Russia stauds lowest of all countries. It is one of the jokes among Frenchmen that the logs of England were responsible for tho great number of suicides. It is a fact that most of those which occurred in France were commit ted in the brightest and sunniest portions of the year. What is claimed to be the plow which General Putnam left In the furrow, up In Connecticut, when he rushed to tho defence of his country, 1 lit years ago, is exhibited in front of a hardware store in Danlelsonvllle, Windham County, Conn,, near his old Imme. Tl e aiitiiilty of tho relic seems to be iintiestioucd, but the Hartford Courant liet 'aj s n doubt as to whether "Old Put" ever guided it through tho soil.
