lAIHIKM' KOI! CONliKKsss. Frank Sarf*ein. Chief of the brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, announces that he will accept the Republican nomination for Congress from the Eighth district it' it is teudered to him. The Terre Haute correspondent of the Cincinnati ('fmiiicn'htl-Gizcttc says that this means that he will be nominated for the reason that the party leaders are generally in fuvor of placing him on the ticket, it being1 conceded that it would be a strong move to secure his nomination on the Congressional ticket. In reply to a letter sent liiin by some Republicans of Terre Haute he says: "After a careful consideration of your letter relative to allowing my name to be presented asa possible candidate for Congress in the coming convention. 1 have concluded to place the' matter entirely in the hands of my friends in this city, who best know my qualifications and sentiment.s. If. in their judgment 1 can represent the people of the district to the end that prosperity may again surround us. and the conditions of wage workers be improved and idleness and want driven from our land, and if the Republican party will be satisfied with a representative whose aim will be to represent the people of the Eighth District honestly and fearlessly, one who makes no pledge except to discharge the duties of the office to the best of his ability.

I will allow my name to be presented, if my friends believe it to lie the .best interest of the district." i&JiThe district* is Democratic by 1.200 sS.or 1.300 majority. With such a candidate as Frank

.uigent

the Republi-

cans believe they can carry it by a majority that will run into four figures.

Cnk'.UiO Inter-Occan: General LewWallace is correcting history. lie makes out a very satisfactory ease, and rectifies errors for the guidance of future hvitorinns. At a reunion on Shiloh battle-field last Saturday he showed why he could not be held responsible for the calamity overtaking the Federeral troops the first day of the tight. To the charge that he marched but six miles the day he was needed at the front, and that his direction was away from rather than toward the fight, he showed by a survey made April that his division marched over eighteen miles that day, and that every step was toward the battle, and some of it through mud that took the gun wheels to the axles. As for the second day's fight, that, he says, he began, and stopped fighting three-quarters of a mile beyond Shermau's point, at .the beginning. ~-y

Indianapolis ScnUni'l is hard to

please. It read Dan Voorhees out of the Democratic party because he favored the Senate amendments to the Wilson bill and is now busy reading David P.. Jlill out of the party because III- is opposed to these same amendments. It has not been long since the Sentinel had an uncertain standing in the party and there were Democrats who stood ready to kick it out into the cold, cold world.

FIUJM

every part of the industrial

North comes up a popular verdict condemning the party in power as incompetent and untrustworthy. The Republicans of Crawfordsville will be called upon in a couple of weeks to emphasize this verdict. Let it be so eniphati-: that its meaning cannot be misunderstood.

UK city of Logansport owns its own water works and the rates to consumers there are about one-half of the rates here. The reports show that with these low rates the city derives a handsome income besides the interest on their bonds. Municipal ownership is the correct policy riot only for light but for water.

CHAPTER XVIII—Continued.

She closed the door of the cottage and locked it. as soon as he had gotio. and went straight back into the parlor to carry out her plan. She did not stop to think, but took the parcel from its place immediately, and going into the kitchen thrust it, without unfolding the paper, into the middle of the fire grate, and watched the flames as they consumed the paper.

Then it occurred to her that she was making a blunder. If the whole of the bar were burned, it might alter its appearance so much as to defeat the. very object she had.

Her plan was to lead Gorringe to think he had mistaken paint for blood: if he found the whole bar had been thus treated he would immediately see he had been tricked. She piilled the bar out again with the tongs, therefire. and strippiug off the charred paper, left only the stained portion in the fire.

Then she began to think of other matters. The story she meant to manufacture must be circumstantial, and must be supported by details. For this purpose, there must be something in the house amongst Tom's belongings which would bear it out. She determined. therefore, that she would get some red paint and leave it about in Tom's bedroom, together with such odds and ends as would suggest that he had been using it.

While she was thus engaged she was kept from thinking too closely of what the discovery of the weapon really meant, and, partly with this object, she hurried on with this work as quickly as possible, and did not rest until it was completed, and she had replaced the short bar of steel, changed as she had designed, and wrapped in a sheet of foolscap paper, taken from some she found in Tom's bedroom, which had no connection with the accounts of the sick fund, and had certainly never been at the mill.

When she had finished, a further idea struck her—to add to the complication by giving the bar thus changed into Reuben Gorringe's own hands for him to keep: and she saw at once the sooner this was done the better. She had taken a very short time to do what she had planned, and she wrapped up the bar at once and carried it to the mill, hoping to find the manager there,

Reuben Gorringe was there and came out to her. "I have thought, after all, that it would be bettor for you to have this, Mr. Gorringe," she said, giving it into his hands,' that you may keep it in a safe place." lie took it at once and began to unfold the outer paper with she had wrapped it. The girl was afraid he meant to examine it again. "Can I look into the offiee?" she asked, unable to think of anything else likely to draw awav his attention from the parcel.

She was successful. "For what purpose?" he said, quickly, stopping in the act of unwrapping the paper and merely glancing at the writing and figures—Mary had taken care to substitute for the original wrapper a paper which was covered with Tom's figures. "1 want to get a clear understanding of all the dreadful facts," she answered. "Will you tell them to me?" "You can come into the inner office if you like."

The girl thought it would be. well for her to know where he put the fateful little parcel she had brought, and, making an effort to fight with a sort- of half-hysterical dread that affected her, went with him. "I am nervous," she said, glancing up at him, and laying her hand on his arm as she spoke. "There is nothing to be nervous about," he answered, smiling. "I am nervous while you hold that," she said, pointing to the bar he was carrying in his hand. "Put it away."

He smiled as he might have done when humoring the whim of a child. "I will keep it here," he said,"putting it in a drawer, which he locked "You are very good," she said. "You will keep the promise you made?" "Certainly. That will never bo moved till such time as we agree that it shall be produced." "Now will you tell me all that is said about the—the scene of last night?" "You can see everything from here, if you can bear to look," answered Gorringe.

Before he had finished the telling, some one eaine to speak to him, and Mary went away.

She thought over everything she had heard, and tried to look at it all as it affected her lover, but she could not see that there was any evidence of any kind against him, beyond the fact that he had quarreled with the mill-owner —except only that which sl.o had destroyed in reference to the steel bar. As she thought of this, she was glad that she had done so. liut. this thought led her to consider that she hail hail no time since she had made the discovery to think about the real significance of that piece of evidence. Did it mean that Tom had gone in hot temper to the mill that he had seen Mr. Coode and quarreled with him: and perhaps in anger had struck the blow which had killed him, and then, hastening home, had put the weapon in the place where she had found it and fled away in the night? "If so. why should he have put it in such a place?"

II. was something 10 be solv«d afterwards. Why had he fled from the village? That was the first question to be answered. And there was only one person who could answer it to her —Tom himself.

There was another who could say something— Savannah Morbyn. She could say whether Tom had gone with her. And the dilemma which the answer to that question suggested to the distracted girl made her more wretched than ever.

had gone with Savannah,

then he was false to her. If he had not gone with her. then what could be the reason of his flight?

Hut she was utterly miserable and broken, and for two days, during which 110 news came except the bad news that vague suspicion was beginning to point to her lover's direction— she was comfortless and disconsolate.

Tljen a spark of light flashed. Sat

vannnli came home on the Monday evening. Mary went to her at once. "Where have you been. Savannah?" she asked: and something in her manner revealed by' some instinct to the other what feelings prompted the visit a :d the question.

She turned her handsome face and flashed her large eyes, bright with a menacing gleam, upon the other. Then she laughed, as if rejoicing at the girl's misery. "What is that to you? Can't 1 go where 1 please?" "Of course you can." "Then, why do you come bothering me with your questions?" Then sho burst suddenly into a loud laugh. "You are a fool. Mary a great fool. You had better give him up." "What do you mean?" cried Mary, angrily. "Oh! what do I mean, I wonder, and whom do I mean? llah, you area fool! Hut yon are too good for him—too good aye. and too goody. You know whom I mean." "Savannah!" exclaimed Mary, in her wonderment at the other's manner. "Savannah." she replied, mocking Mary's tone. "Savannah. Well, what is it you want to know from Savannah?" Then her manner changed suddenly to her usual softness. "You are umklng yourself miserable, fretting. What is it? Tell me frankly, like yourself. and I will tell you all vou want to know." "I want to know whether you have seen Tom Roylance while you have been away," said Mary, after a moment's pause. "Where should I see Tom—your Tom?" said the other girl, laughing again, mockingly, but softly. "I didn't ask where but whether you have seen him at all?" said Mar3% looking steadily at her. "I heard you," replied Savannah, returning the look, out dropping lier eyes before Mary's gaze, as she answered, langhing lightly again, "and I didn't say whether I'd seen him at all, but asked where I should see him. So we are quits-see?" "Do you mean you won't tell me?" "Do you mean you think I've been away with your lover?"

Mary flushed crimson at this. "And suppose I say I hare what then?" said Savannah, quickly. "Then I should ask you where he is?" answered Mary, her voice quivering partly with passion, partly with pain and the effort it cost her to restrain herself under the other's sneers. "What sweet humility! what touching gentleness! After that it would be cruelty to keep you in suspense. No, I haven't seen Tom, and don't want to see him and I don't know where he is, and don't care. Does that satisfy you?" "When did you last see him?" "When you were at his cottage. Have you any more questions to ask?" "What is the matter with you?" asked Mary, going to her. "You are so strange." "Strange! What do you mean? How dare you say that?" she cried, fiercely. "You come here to spy and pry upon me, badgering me with question upon question about every this, that, and the other and because I don't choose to answer everything directly, you turn on me and call me like that. I've not seen your lover I don't want your lover I wish I'd never seen him. or you, or anyon* iu the place. I hate you all. Go away," she said, with an angry gesture "Go away! for if you stop here I may be tempted to do j'ou a mischief. Go away, you spy!" Then, as if excitement had spent itself, she stopped and burst into a violent storm of sobbing.

Surprised, hurt and somewhat afraid, Mary left the room. As she walked homewards, the thoughts which gradually separated themselves from the too tangled maze of wonderment which Savannah's extraordinary conduct had caused, were first intense relief and pleasure that Tom was love-loyal to her and, secondly, profound perplexity as to the reason for his sudden and mysterious flight.

If only she could know where he had gone. That was her chief concern now.

He must be in some place, she thought, where the news of what had happened at the mill on Friday had not reached him.

He must have gone awav out ol fear of what was threatened at the mill. Iiut if so. why had he not written her to go to him?. At home a great surprise awaited her. On the table lay a letter for her and she felt it was trom her lover. She grasped it with almost hungry eagerness, and read the address with brightened eyes and flushed cheek.

She had guessed right. She knew the handwriting well enough. The letter was from her lover.
