CHAPTER V. DBrvas vboh edes. An ex-convict! As if he had bo?n dealt a sudden and terrible blow, as tho vindictive Ralph Prescott spoke those words, Paul Dalton staKgered under a fearful shook. His face became the color of ashes, his eyes expressed the wretchedness and despair of a man lost utterly, and, clutching at a chair for support, he gasped, in a quivering, agonized tone: It has come at last. The blow has fallenf Farmer John siared at him with wondering, half-bolioving face. Ruth, with a little cry of terrar, moro at his bearing than at the accuiiation, seemod unable to rally from the dhook it gave her. Only the revengeful, excited. Prescott was alive to the real issue of the moment. "Do you see?"' ie cried In jeering,, exultant tones. "Ho dares not deny it. Let him dare say it ain't true! I'll prove what I say I'll prove it now and here." "I neither affirm nor deny it. Let mo The words were a sob. With dazed eyes, his face a void of misery, J? aul Dalton groped blindly for the door. Through it he passed. Upon hln it closed. The crafty Prescott himself was amazed. He had counted on triumph, but the victory had come too easy to him. The victim had submitted without a struggle. He had not even afforded him an opportunity to gloat over his downfall. Farmer John had sunk to a chair, fairly overcome. He had housed not only a thief, a trlflor with tho affections of his only child, but a man reeking with the prison-rot branded as a wretch, with his hand against every man, and every man's hand against his own! Choking down her dread, her uncertainty, her anguish, Buth managed to totter to her feet. "Father," she wailed, "I love him." An awful frown darkened the brow of John Elliott. "Silence!" he ordered sternly. "Speak that man's name in my presence strain and I disown you. Meet him, even ad dress a slnsle word to him, and I curse you. And I trusted him a thief, a convict" "It is false. Father! father!" cried Bath, "can you think it true when you remember his goodness? His face is not the face of a criminal, and his words to me oh! my heart is breaking, breaking." "Why, he did not even deny it," muttered Elliott. "He dared not," burst out Prescott "Let him try it. I have a man at the village who knows him was In the same cell with him. He was caged for forgery, and pleaded guilty to get a light sentence. Well rid of him, Mr. Elliott. Lueky to get him away without your throat eut or your house burned over your head." uutb was soDDing ptteousiy. A realization that her tears were shed for the man he so hated nettled the spiteful Prescott like an ox-goad. "And worse than all, he tried to steal her away from me. He " "Enough of this, ordered Farmer John, sternly. "It's an experience I shall profit by. I've heard of such villainsrobbing thoir benefactors, deluding silly girls. He's not the man to leave us in peace, even after all the trouble he has made. He'll hang around and try to meet Buth again, and work on her sympathies, but there shall be no such risk. Buth, you know my iron will. There will be no further delay. Balph, your marrying her was settled long ago." "Father " "Silence! My blessing or my curse a convict or an honest man take your choice. Ton marry Balph Prescott within a week, or you leave my roof forever." He lifted the crushed girl to her feet, and led her from the room as he spoke. Her sobs died away in the distance. Grim-faced, the Soman father in mien and heart, he stood looking rrom the uncurtained window. The crafty Balph, gloating with triumph, upproiiched him, but he waved him gloomily aside. Paul Dalto:i crossed the broad stream of lamplight cast across the gravel path a minute later. His head was bowed, his faco colorless. Never a word did he speak, never a backward gl ance did he take, until ho had reached "he stile. His face was one great void of despair as he halted, and, turning slowly, looked acroHs the fair field and the bright haven that was home to him no more. "It has come," he murmured, brokenly. "I might have known it Wharlght had I to lovo, what right to drag an innocent life to shame and sorrow? And I dared not deny I dared not speak my promise, my oath! Well, it U only one more fetter to the heavy ohain; but Bhe it was nt crime to love her but heaven forgive me for the grief I have brought to the woman whose lovs was the ono bright star of a cheerless existence." He turned to take the highway that bounded the Eden of his dreams, but paused suddenly. From the hedge a woman's form had fluttered. Her hands grasped his own spasmodically a minute later. "Buth!" She swayed where she stood, her eyes burning up into his own. "One word before you go," she wailed, plteously. "Innocent or guilty tell me qniok, tell me truthfully, or my heart will break!" CH APTER VI. DISOWHED. "I cannot, I dare not tell you!" The words seemed to sound doom, disaster to all Buth Elliott's hopes the despairing misery in Paul Dalton's eyes crushed her. Bhe had pleaded for an answer to that wild appeal, to know if he was innocent or guilty, for the sake of the love that was breaking her poor, anxious heart, and he had replied to her thus! The clinging hands relaxed with a shudder. Terror in her eycB, she surveyed him in dubious dread. Oh, my love, " she walled brokenly, "you cannot mean that the cruel words Balph Prescott spoke are true!" He said yon were " "An ex-convict!" cried Paul, the jaring dissonance of tortured accents in his tones. 'Did ho not also say that he could prove it, and I" ho laughed harshly, bitterly "I am powerless to refute him." Buth's eyes distended with shivering anxiety. "Then it is true?" she gasped. He grasped her hands (suddenly. He looked down into her shrinking eyes With that earnest inmressiysaws that

told that falsehood could nevor aotuato it. "Tbey said I was a thief," ho began, "Oh, that I know is false!" "Thoy mako another charge, Buth. What I hove feared has come. Better for your sake, better for the sake of those you love, bettor for myself, that we port hero and now. Lot the past engulf all this mystery, a mystery I dare hot explain. Forgot me, forgot it all. Good-by." "You are Innooent. Oh! I see It in yourfaoo. I road it in your patient, suffering eyeB. Leave you forgot you? Do you valuo a true woman's love SO lightly as that? Speak, Paul! I conjure you. Give me tho one assurance my torn heart oravos. Only say that you aro innocent, and though they pile proof mountain-high, I will see your bravo face shining, serene, defiant, above it all." Paul Dalton's palo, undecided f eatures showed that he was suffering Intensely. "Buth," he sold calmly, at last, "suppose this man Prescott, who hates me so, should provo that one Paul Dalton was imprisoned for forgery, filled a hideous oonvlct's cell; suppose the records evidouce it, tho testimony of others apparently verifies it and I, unable to disprove it, unwilling to lift the veil of a mystery that would wreok lives I hold prooious, should deny it, simply deny it, and say to you, faco to fooo, heart to huart, it is a oruel lie,' what would you soy?" With a wild cry of joy, of perfoct confidence, tho fair young girl burled her face on his shoulder. "Only say that," sho breathed fervently, "only tell me that you are Innocent!'' "Itistruo but thero all explanation must cease. Even to you, tho woman I love, I dare not explain a mystery that links my life to gloom and doubt My lips are sealed!" "But, surely " "The veU will lift? yes," spoke Paul, bitterly. "When a heart of iron wills it when he no, I have said too much. To tho censor of my fate, to tho keeper of my destiny, I will mako a last appeal for justice. If I fall good-by! In a a month I will return, If the galling chains oau bo unlinked," "A month:" cried Buth, shudderlngly. "Do you kn'iw what that will moan do you realize that my father, iron-willed, resolute, will by that time make me tho the wife of the man whom you and I know to have caused oil this trouble?" "He would not press tho sacrifice oh, surely, never!" panted Dolton, his eyes flashing indignantly. "He would not doom you, his darling child, to a loveless existence. It shall not be I cannot lose you I will not see you bound to wretchedness unutterable. Buth, I will dear up this mystery I will stand iunecent before tho world; but if I lose you " There was the interruption of passing pedestrians, and thoy orossed the grove. Toward tho distant town their feet strayed, he talking earnestly, she clinging to his words and suggestions, trembling, fearful, as she realized that once parted, once her father's resolute will was carried out their future happiness was doomed. She sped home an hour later, a frightened, anxious look in .her young face. She gained the house unobserved. "For his sako!" she murmured. "He is innocent; he loves me. He has gono to olear his name to remove the stain of shame and mystery. When they know, I must endure the blow. It was right it was the only way; and I lovo him so I love him so! Affairs seemed to eorao back to their usual routine within tho course of the next few days. There was a settled cloud on Farmer John's brow, but it was ono of suspicion and watchfulness alone, and it became less dense as ho seemed to be convinced at last that Paul Dalton had left the vicinity for good, and that Buth was getting over her foolish fancy for him. Balph Prescott did not worry Buth with elthor taunts or attentions. There was a new light in the girl's eyes that he did not like a definite consciousness of security, a mute dofianoo that made him restless. Ho was content to await the developments of the case, and they came quickly. Farmer John was obdurate, once an idea got into his stubborn head. He made a long call on Geoffrey Forsythe; he, was thoughful, preoccupied all one day. At eventide, as Buth Prescott and himself wf-re seated in the cozy dining-room, he said, abruptly: "Buth, come hnro." She had been watching the first feathery snow (lakes of the yoar, sho had been thinking of him! Guiltily, tremblingly, she walked to her father's side. "You have always been n good girl," said Elliott, with a rude attempt at affection. "I am getting old circumstances have hurried matters. I want to have things settled. I had a talk with your grandfather to-day. It is his wish, di well as mine, that we see you comfortably settled in life." Kuth turned white about the lips, but was silent. "You know how we have planned and talked about it," pursued Elliott gently, "Balph needs a wife to make him realize the responsibilities of life. We have arranged ior a quiet wedding why, girl, don't stand as If I was pronouncing sentence on you. Speak, can't you!" cried Elliott, angry at the right of the pale face and downcast eyelids. Buth rallied with an effort. "You wish mo to speak, fathor," sho said, in a strangely constrained voice, that somehow chilled the eager Prescott. "I want to see some return of affeotion and obedienoo for all my years of care and kindness," replied her father in a nettled tone. "Not many girls can get a husband that pleases all hands around, and jump into a fortune from a fond, indulgent grandfather."' "I have always obeyed you, fathor," replied Buth, "butiu this it can never be." "How's that?" Farmer John's brow grew hoavy and dark. "It can never be." "You won't marry Balph?" "I cannot." "Cannot? Will not, you moan. See hore, girl! If you have any lurking thought that I will over consider that hypocrite jail-bird, Paul Dalton " "Stop!" Incisive as a clarion note tho word sounded forth. "Stop!" repeated Buth, drawing herself erect like somo affronted queen, "ho Is no thief, no convict, and he Is my husband!" It was out at last! Ualpb Prescott sank bock crushed. Farmer John stared at tho girl as If he adjudged her suddenly bereft of her senses. "Your husband!" he goBpod, incredulously. " Yes, you drove him away you and that wretch yonder. He told mo it was i all false, und I believed him. Ho has gone to seek tho proofs of his Innocence. Tho night he loft I met him. o were hurriedly marrio l at llm next town. I knew that this would come. Not ho, hut I, placed this barrier against your cruel will, that would r.therwlso have made of marriage a mockery, n crime. In linking my lifo to that of a man I loathe and despise!" She had never believed herself possessed of the oourage to tll it all; Wt,

lassiy, Farmer John regarded her in silenoe for a moment; then, a guttural, choking cry in ms tnroat, ae naanoa out; ''And this la true?" "Yes: I am his wlfo." Tho burly form trembled, the great knotted nonaa went up in the air in furious gesture, the lurid eyes glowed with the pent-up rage of an unmastered spirit "Then go!" he almost yelled. "Go!" and he flung open the door with a crash, "You are no ohlld of mine; you have chosen the jail-bird, tho scoundrel; go find him. I pray heaven that my eyes shall never apain rest on the child who has defied my authority, wreoked my lifo, and broken my heart Girl, I curse you, I disown you out of my heart and out: of my home. Go! You are no child of uiino! to bb continued. Au Uupopular Trip, Col. McCrory was once traveling on a railroad train as a plutocratic occupant of a Pullman. In this car were two people with whom he was acquainted. One was Miss Rachel Sherman, daughter of "Tecumseh," and the other Gen. M. C Butler, dow Senator from South Carolina. The Colonel, naturally, with his wellknown gallantry, did all in his power to relieve the tedium of the young lady's journey, unUl certain acute cravings drove him to the smokingroom, where he found his old friend, Senator Butler, too willing to join him with a cigar. During their conversation the Senator asked: "Colonel, who Is that nice-appearing ?irl with whom you were talking when 11 ret saw you?" "Why, that young lady," said the Colonel, "is Miss Bachel Sherman." "Any relation to tho Senator?" asked Butler. "No; daughter of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, "answered McCrory. "Well, I'll be dinged," said Butler, who had known of Sherman during the war in a way that was not always agreeable to him, "I'd like to meet her. Will you kindly Introduce nie?" "Certainly, with pleasure," answered the Colonel, and he threw away his cigar and took the Senator into the car and introduced him to the young lady. They began to chat on different subjects and were very much interested in each other's observations. Finally Miss Sherman said: "Senator, I am much Interested in the South and want to know more about it than I do. What is the general condition of affairs now and how are things getting along?" "Well," said the Senator, with a comical side glanco at McCrory, "we are doing very well now (with an accent on the 'now'), but some years ago, when your father went through the country, he created a good deal of d (satisfaction . " Mi nnea polis Journal. Pathetic Farewell. Jacques Jasmin, a barber and poet of France, began life in extreme poverty. That the pathetic events of such a childhood must have sunk into his soul may bt guessed from one incident which, in after years, he set down In his "Beoolloctlons." His grandfather, when too old and infirm to solicit alms, quietly made arrangements to be carried to an almshouse in order that he might no longer burden the family. Jasmin says: I was then ten years old. I was playing in the square with my companions, girded with a wooden sword, and I was king; but suddenly a dreadful spectacle disturbed my royalty. I saw an old man in an arm-ohair borno along by several Persons. The bearers approached, and recognized my own grandfather. In my grief I saw only him. I ran up to him In tears, threw myself on his neck, and kissed him. He returned my embrace and wept. "O grandfather," said I, "where are you going? Why ere you leaving our home?" "My ohlld," said ho, "I am going to the almshouse, where all the Jasmins die." He again ombracod me, closed his eyes, and was carried away. We followed him for some time under the troes, and then I abandoned my play and returned home, full of sorrow. In five days the dear old man qulotly breathed his last His wallet was hung up on its usual nail in the home, but it was never used again. One of the bread-winners had departed, and the family was poorer than ever. On that Monday I knew and felt for the first time that we wero very poor. Fortune came to me years after, but for some of those I loved she camo too late. 1'outlifal Prodlirlcts. English newspapers are talking of a little girl of 10 who lias rewritten the books of Euclid, supplied new examples, and proved all her propositions. Youthful prodigies are commonly supposed to be a peculiar product of the forcing process of American civilization, but when they do appear in England they compel admiration from their precocity. John Stuart Mill struggled with Greek verse at 8, and Cardinal Kewnian at 5 was deep in Ovid, while the younger Pitt went up to the university at 16 with a store of learning that amazed his tutors. These geniuses all survived this early intellectual strain, and perhaps the little girl referred to will some day become a mathematical Mme. Dacier or a Maria Mitchell; PoWoned by Thimbles. Says a teacher of a sewing school: "Girls wlu sew for a living often suffer soreness in what is sometimes called the thimble linger, and serious inflammation and swelling Is often the result. No sewing girl or woman should let herself be tempted by the low price of thimbles which are composed of lead or something equally injurious. Sliver or plated thimbles are very much the best aud safest, and when these are too expensive a good substitute can be found ia a highly burnished steel thimble. For practical every-day use this latter kind Is the most convenient, but pewter or lead should never be used, especially by people whose flesh is slow to heal after a scratch or cut" Pigmy Hogn.

COME AS CONTESTANTS.

CLEVELAND'S FRIENDS TAKE A DESPERATE STEP. Thoy Decide at Syrnuuno to Fleht lor Seals in the Great Chicago Gathering The February Conclave Hpokun OI In Scathing Terms by the Orators., Favor Grover's Nomination. A Syracuso (N. Y.) dispatch says: The "dandelions" are on top to-day, as much as Hill was on top in February. Tho purpose of that early convention was to give Hill a grand send-olT. It was believed by Uim and his near friends that a declaration by the Democracy of New York in his favor would be tho initiative of a movement that would hind him in tho White House. Subsequent events proved tho fallacy of this promise. Hill was short-Mghtod, and tho ladder on which he expected to climb to tho chief magistracy gave way under his weight. When the convention of to-day was called, Hill was politically prosperous. Since then Hill's deeadonce has occurred, and Cleveland's rleo into new prominence has been equally quick. Tho conditions to-day nre different from those under which the call was issued. In fact, thoy wero called into being by tho February convention, and a pretext was given for the gathering of the dandelions now. Tho consequences of tho action taken will probably drive both Cleveland and Hill out of the field and lenvo the way clear to nominate Russell or l'attison from the East or Holes or Palmer from tho West. Unprejudiced political observers of long experience predict that tho nomination will not come to tiie State of New York. Everyone concedes the eminent respectability of the delegates that assembled, but old hands nt tho business of politics call it a mob that oould not carry on a campaign because of tho lack of working clement Such comments, it should be stuted, come mostly from Hill lookers-on. Chairman Kcrnau's speech as delivered was not at all the speech that had been mailed by the Press Association. The most savago of bis thrusts at Hill did not appear in the written pages. There was no mention of him by nahie. He was ignored as totally as Cleveland was In the convention of February, which Kernan dubbed "the snows'ioe convention," but Hill's administration and his control of the party wore scored without mercy. "Tho delegates of tho February convention," ho declared, "will represent what a few men thought thou, but tho delegates from this convention to Chicago will represent what tho people want now." When he reached the climax of Cleveland, and for tho first time mentioned his name, it was the lilaine convention of 1884 over again as much as any jState convention could be with smaller numbers. The delegates sprang to their feet, mounted chairs, and shout d themselves hoarse. Fairchild and Grace, from the platform, started the waves of iipplaueo with their umbrellas, aud it was at least ten minutes before tho speaker could go on. Another outbreak came when ho made a don and that Cleveland should be nominated. This was a step Beyond the policy of tho most conservative, but apparently every one joined In the applause. The vray was then easy for saying: "Democratic disputes will end at Chicago. Now York Democrats will accept the decision of the court as final." This sentiment was cheered to the echo, and it showed that the delegates were still loyal Democrats. The platform adopted contains declarations against Republican fraud, tho tariff, and free Bllvor. RESULT OF A DRINK CURE. Son of a Prominent Kansas Man Passes Away In Violent spasms. G o: go Brndshaw, son of a prominent resident at Wichita, Kan., diod Jrom causes alleged to have boen brought about by the treatment ho was taking for the cure of inebrloty.

His trends saw the physiolans in charge, but they advised a eontinuanco of the treatmont and gave Bradshaw three shots again. About midnight, after an evening of wild raving, Bradshaw was a'nin taken with spasms which lusted until daylight, and a littlo later he died. His friends will make a full Investigation. MAY'S BIG RECORD OF RAIN. Average Precipitation for Twenty Years Nearly Doubled in Chicago. ' The United States Weather Bureau records show that during the month of May rain fell in Chicago on no less than tweiity-ono days, and, as Is believed by It'J per cent of the population, tho precipitation was rather heavy every time. Tho rainfall for the month was (5.77 inches, a most remarkable record even for Chicago. A normal May precipitation for the last twenty years is 3.82 inches, but tho May just over put this far in the rear, not quito doubling the ordinary allowanoe. Sues the Governor of Texas. At Austin, Texas, a $50,000 damage suit has been lllod against Governor Hogg by Charles T. Bonner, of Tyler, on-tlio chargo of defamatinu of character. It is alleged that Governor Hogg called Bonner "a professional liar" in a campaign speech. Bonner stands high at the Texas bar for integrity and honesty. The ease is attracting much attention.

Boston Globe. Everybody In town yesterday was chattering about the Deacon verdict. He was not well known in town, and sympathy for him was of the sporadic kind. Tho opinion scorned to be that he had given himself awny by his weakness in remarking that he deserved somo punishment. A French jury is a very literal lot of men. When thoy see a culprit who thinks ho ougbt to be punished thoy more than likely give him a dose of it. So Mr. Deneon goes to jail and Mrs. Deacon to well, who knows?

My kidneys and bladder wore all out ot order very painful liver sluggish a:ad refused to act. My health now Is very good, in fact, I think I t.m aa well os most men at my age 67 years. I give your Swamp-Boot entire credit of eavlng my lifo, and the good health I now enjoy iu due to its uso. I have worked somo on the farm of late, t-nd do most of the chores myself. This is not written for publication, but if It, will give others conlideneo lti your great remedy, I have no objection to j-our using it as best you can. With bet t r egards, I remain, 3. D. WlUcox.

At the Old Home. A man does love to go lack and view the scenes among which ho mado his start, even though he may not ramamber much about them. "There, seo thore? That is the honse your greatgrandfather built." It was a swell house ia those days evidently. Two stories; square-hewed logs, a porch all along the front And the hands that tuilt it, the voices that laughed and sang in iii, the merry feet that danced on ifce oaken floors I Down through the brok.m roof and in the chinks of the totterin!? walls the srn shines to-day in great bar of gold, just for an instant, and tt en the clondi shut out tho sunlight aud the pitiless rain beats down upon 1;he old log house. The skies are griy, the trees are leafless, the hills are bare, and the ruing wind moans and Righs. Erip, drip, drip tho water falls from the broken eaves, like the monotonous tick of a clock that tells the lives of four generations. But for the moaniiig wind and the weeping water, how sfcll, how quiet it all is. "My great-grandfather built it, then ?" I wonder, if I wait hero until the day is gone and the evenir g is gray and full of shadows, if he will come to the dismantled old door, and with irhostly silence and old-time courtesy bid his great-grandson welcome to the acres and manor of his anoe store, "And the orchard on the hill, Robert, your grandfather planted. And he built the brick house on the cti.er side of tho road." There is the orchard still. Year after year the fragrant blooms and. the robins como together, bnt the boy who planted the trees? The orohord bloom and tho withered leaf of November are alike to him, and the song of the robin does not reach his ear. "Your mother was born in thai house." Ah, my mother? She was a little girl here, then? AU these hills aro sacred with the touch of her Tottering foet ; down this winding glen she has plucked the wood violets aud anemones; and the birds in the swaying branches above her head have sung in wild joyonsncRR to hear her laugh. She was ft school girl here my mother. And how pretty sho was then, with the tender curve: of her lipn and the full-oibed eyes cf brown Hoft and deep as the shodowa, of these hills: ah, she wag beautiful when she was a school girl ! And that night I stand in my native villtif ;e, and I look at the stars t hat come out :u the blue sky, and listen to the low-voiced Monongahcla singing at my feet ; and in the stars I see the soft light of my mother's eyes, and listening to the S3itg of the river I know where her dear voieo caught the low, mellow music that iu the long-ago lulled, with ; the ol.l-tinie cradle song, her littlo ones to sleep. if.

A Ulsloeatrd Thimble, A teacher in tho grammar school of Charleston requires her pupils to form sentences containing tho words in thoir sailing or dcUniug lesson, in order to illustrate their meanins.
