hurtful influence upon industry

of the movement against the tariff is indicated by the following facts, supplied by the commercial agency report: "The sale of textile goods fell off from 870,347,882 in 1893 t.o$43,S93,875 in 1803, a decrease of 37 per cent. Sales of iron decreased 38 per cent of furniture, 20 per cent of shoes, 18 per cent of hats. l'J'6 per cent of hardware, lit per cent. More than half the woolen mills in the country were idle, and most of those in operation ran upon short time. The sales of wool in three chief markets declined, between May and December, from 212,333,003 pounds in in 1892^ to 107,795,400 pounds in 1893, and the price fell to the lowest figures ever reported. In Ma-y the weekly production of pig iron was 181,551 tons. In October it had fallen to 73,895."

These are a few of the statistical facts respecting the Wrecker's work doue against American industry within a single year by the Administrations and its cohorts. Behind them, and beyond the reach of calculation or estimation, a work of destruction was accomplished of which these facts are but an illustration and these figures but an insufficient sign and token.

CHAPTER III.

ii!

Slut wo* pacing the room slovly. Two months had gone by since Marcos Gray had intimated to Mary Lumsden his intention of seeking an interview with her father on the morrow, and our two young people had seen nothing of each other in the interim.

Tlio tragic circumstances connected with Mr. Lumsdeu's death had put an end to all lovemaking fov the time being, and now the period Gray had allotted to himself for the English portion of his tour was nearly at an end. A weel,- hence if be carried out the arrangement agreed upon with his father before leaving home, he would be duo in Paris. But his love for Mary had in nowise cooh for lack of fuel to feed itself on, am', tie was determined on no account to quit London till he should come to an understanding of some sort with l.er tsMther. In this contingency he decided '.o take his Uncle Orde into his confidence and claim the benefit of his advice in the affair. It was the wisest conclusion lie couH have come to.

Mr. Orde listened with lifted eyebrows to his nephew's recitaL It was all news him. Nothing had he seen or suspected. "I congratulate von, my dear boy, on having made s.icli an excellent choice,'' he said heartily when Gray had come to an end. "Mary Lumsden is a girl in a thou^nd. But tell me exactly what it is that you wish me to do." I Then Gray explained that, before seeking an interview with Mrs. Luiusden, he was desirous of arranging for a meetirg between Mary and himself

He had not seen her since the night before her father's death, and he was wishful to ascertain whether she still looked to him to carry out the promise be had then made her, and, in short, to satisfy himself—not that for one moment he I doubted her constancy—that she reinained as unchanged to him as he did to her.

Mr. Orde readily undertook his nephew's commission—a week never pas^-d without finding him at Oak-dene on^f, if not oftener—with the result that Mary sent word she would meet him next afternoon at three o'clock, on the road leading from Oakdene in the direction of Tooting Common. I Well, they met, and Mary proved to her lover's satisfaction that she was in nowise changed. "I don't know how my mother will receive you," remarked the girl. "There has been a great change in her since poor papa's death. It is a dreadful thing to say, but there are times when 1 fear for her reason." "I must appeal to my uncle for the second time. If any one can induce Mrs.

Lumsden to grant me an interview, he can." "Mrs. Lumsden has consented to see you at two o'clock tomorrow," said Mr Orde to his nephew three days later, "although what kind of a reception she will accord to your suit it would be futile to prophesy. I must confess that in some of her moods I altogether fail to understand her."

Marcus Gray lacked nothing of that easy self possession which seems to be the birthright of

many of his coun

trymen, but it must be confessed that when, on being ushered into the drawing room at Oakdene, he found himself confronted by a tall, white faced woman, with hollow cheeks and hair which a few short weeks had abundantly streaked with gray, and with a strange steely glitter in her deep set eyes he felt for once that his toiiguo rofusod to do hia bidding. "Pray be seated, Mr. Gray," said the widow. "1 have consented to see you in deference to the wish of your uncle, who was my dead husband's dearest friend, as he is now mine. He tells me that you have conceived an affection for my daughter, and that you wish me to sanction an engagement between yourself and her." "That is the dearest wish of my life, Mrs. Lumsden." "And do you consider, Mr. Gray, that this is a fit time to dream of lovemaking and giving in marriage, while the blood of my poor murdered husband cries out from the grave for vengeance on his assassin? If you think so, I certainly do not."

Gray knew not what to reply. Never in his life had he felt so nonplussed. "Yes, the murderer is still at large," she resumed, speaking with slow, quiet intensity: "as innocent seeming aa you or 1, mixing with his fellow men, no one knowing or suspecting him for the vile wretch that he is. Every day that passes lessens the chances of his detection. Already at Scotland Yard my husband's death is iooked upon as merely adding another item to the long catalogue of mysterious crimes which have never been brought home to their perpetrators. The task ha* tieen given up as hopeless, other interests have come to the front, the reward remains unclaimed and soon the name of Edward Lumsden will have faded from tho mfiids of all, save a few who were nearest and dearest to him."

She had risen, and was pacing the room slowly, with something of the air of a caged animal, her clinched hands pressed tightly to her bosom, as if to crush down the surging emotions at work below Gray had no words at command.

For a little while the silence remained unbroken then Mrs. Lumsden stopped abruptly in her walk, and fixing her large, dark eyes, luminous with a somber fire, full on the American, she said: "\ou ask me, Mr. Gray, to give you my daughter's hand. My answer to yon is, first do something to prove yourself worthy of the gift. You are hero in London, idling away your time, with no object beyond the amusement of the hour, and yet the assassin of tho father of her you would make your wife is still untraced, his crime goes still unpunished and you have never so much as lifted your little finger in the effort to track him down. Oh, that I were a man instead of the weak, helpless creature 1 um Oh, that I had a son who"

But at this juncture the door was opened. "Dr. Hynton, ma'am," said tho parior maid.

Gray rose as the doctor entered. The widow gave him her hand, and with a smile that had in it much of her old sweetness, said: "You will excuse me now, will yoa not, Mr. Gray? You must come and see

mo again a l.-w (i:ivs honce. it may bo that 1 havo talked a littlo at random to day, but if yon could only partially realize what 1 have gone through, you would know how to make allowance for me."

Gray bent and touched her fingers with his lips and withdrew. Ho had scarcely boon ten minutes iu the houso and had not spoken inoro than a dozen words.

Without professing to be actuated by any other motive than one of simple curiosity, when Gray related to his uncle the result 'jf the interview he drew him on to talk about tho crime with a frankness lio had never exhibited before. Mr. Orde was by nature a man of caution and reserve, and not eveu to liis nephew had he heretofore confided tho particulars in connection with Eustaco Crake, nor how his suspicious, unsupported though they were by any direct evidence, pointed unequivocally to him as being tho criminal. Today, however, he told his nephew everything. It was as though the latter had brought away from his interview with Mrs. Lumsden a pass key to the secret chamber of liis uncle's mind.

As he left the houso he said to himself: "Tomorrow 1 will seek out and tuako the acquaintance of Mr. Eustace Crake."

CHAPTER IV

"Yvslt, but you won't see mc tomorrow." It was three weeks later. Marcus Gray had been as good as his word. Not only had he made Crake's acquaintance in the interim, but by this time the two, to employ an expressive locution, had become as "thick as thieves." He had sought out Crake at the billiard room of the Flagon and Cask, the tavern which Inspector Fountain's report to Mr. Orde had mentioned as being his favorite bouse of call. Gray's role had been that of a simple young American over in London for a holiday, with no lack of money to tling away, and not caring much how he got rid of it so long as he saw plenty of -'life" in return. It was apart li» played to perfection, and Crake clung to him like a ieech from the moment he found that the supply of S sovereigns to be squeezed out of him in one way or another had no apparent limit. They got into the way of meetIng regularly about two o'clock in the afternoon, when Crake, who waa really a crack player, would for the next two hours give lessons to his new found friend iu the art and mystery of billiards, always of course for a consideration. Later on they would dine and spend the evening together, equally of course at the American's expense.

For the present there was only one thing that Gray stuck out against. He would have nothing to do with the bet-1 ting on the turf, but Crake by no means despaireil of being able by and by to overcome a prejudice so puritanical and absurd and one at the same time soj inimical to his own interests.

On the uigiit to which we have now come Gray and Crake left the Flagon and Cask together, as they had done several times before. It was half past twelve and closing time, and no sooner had they crossed the threshold than the door was shut and bolted behind them. They had been playing billiards to-1 gether since eight o'clock, Crake of course giving his opponent a certain number of joints, notwithstanding which tlie American had lost every' game but two. Tonight, too, he had I insisted on backing his play for half a sovereign a game, and as by some mis-! chance—it was a thing which had never happened before—ho had fallen short of ready money, the result had been that by the time they left off play Crake held

his 1 O for three pounds fifteen bor-: rowed cash, ns to which he was not at' all uneasy, feeling sure lie would bo re-1 couped on the morrow. It was evident! that Gray, who was ordinarily most abSteniious, had been drinking more than was good for him. He staggered slighrty as he came out into the cool night air and clutched at the lapel of his compauion'a coat.

own, and as they together he said: "I suppose 1 had better hail the first hansom we come across?"

To which Gray, who had uncle's houso some timo before now in lodgings at tho west plied: "Right yon are, dear boy haven got a blessed sou to cabby with." Hero he gavo

For a full minuto or more Crake stood in silent thought. The chances were, ho argued, that if the American once got as far as Paris nothing more would be seen of him in London, in which case liis I O would be so much waste paper. Tho sum was not a large one, but Crake was by no means minded to lose it.

Ho set his teeth hard for a moment or two and then ho said: "If you like to eomo with mo as far as my lodgings, I think 1 can perhaps manago to change your note."

Half an hour later Marcus Gray was on his way home in a hansom. All signs of inebriety had vanished. He was his usual self—keen, alert and quietly self possessed. In exchange for his twenty pound note Crake had given him three five pound notes, his I O and the balance in cash.

Eustace Crake was seated at breakfast next morning, with a sporting newspaper Bupiwrted againstttie hot water jug hi

rront or mm, wnon tno aoor ot Ms sitting room was unceremoniously opened and two men, entire strangers to him, walked in and shut the door behind them. "You are Mr. Eustaco Crake?" said the elder of the two interrogatively.

Crake nodded. "1 am Inspector Fountain, of Scotland Yard," added the officer.

On the instant every vestige of color faded out of Crake's face, leaving it of a gray, corpseliko pallor. For a few moments ho was like a man suddenly smitten with the loss of speech then, with a grimace which he evidently meant for a smile, ho said: "To what may I attribute tho honor of this visit, Mr. Inspector?" "Last night, or rather at an early hour this morning, you changed a twenty pound note for a gentleman of the name of Gray, giving liim as part of tho change three notes of five pounds oach. Can you oblige me, Mr. Crake, by informing mo when and from whom the notes in question camo into your possession?"

Crake bit his lip hard for a moment or two, as if tho pain might help him to keep down the nervous trembling that was beginning to overmaster him. Then he said: "Really, you ask me more than 1 am in a position to tell yon. In tny profession, which is that of a betting man, such a number of notes pass through my hands in the courso of a month that it is out of tho question for me to keep any record of their numbers or to remember from whom 1 may have received this one or the other." "1 can quite understand that," replied Fountain. "May 1 ask whether you are acquainted with any one of the name of Parkinson—Mr. William Parkinson?"

Crake considered awhile aud then shook his head. '•I have no recollection of having been Introduced to or done business with any one of that name. But what is the object of all this catechising, if 1 may be allowed a question in my turn?" "That you will presently learn. In the first place, I may inform you that it was a Mr. Parkinson who paid the late Mr. Lumsden a certain sum in bank notes on the morning of that gentleman's death, which notes were undoubtedly stolen by the person or persons who were guilty of the murder." "All!" was all that Crake could find to snv for a moment. Then, after moistening his lips with his tongue, he added: "You will pardon me if 1 fail to see in what way that fact connects itself with the uotes paid ov«r by me to Mr. Gray My cousin, Mr. Charles Lumsden, in a talk 1 had with him a little while ago, distinctly assured me that the number of the missing notes were not known. Now, if that be the case how"— His eyes finished the question. "•It is quite true, Mr. Crake, that the number of the stolen notes are not known," said the inspector gravely "but that does not imply that there may not be other means of identification." "Not one of the notes paid by me to Gray bore an indorsement of any kind. On that point can speak most positively," was Crake's reply. "In any case 1 must ask you to accompany me to Scotland Yard," said Fountain. "1 have a cab waiting at the corner of the street."

On their arrival at Scotland Yard Inspector Fonntain ushered his charge into a room where two officials in uniform were busy writing, with one of whom he held a brief colloquy in a low voice. In another room, although Crake did not know it, Marcus Gray and Mr. Parkinson were in waiting, in case any further evidence beyond that which they had already tendered should be required.

Their colloquy at an end, one of the officials produced from a drawer the three notes given by Crake to Gray a few hours before and handed them to Fonntain, who proceeded to straighten them out on the smooth surface of the desk. They were old and crumpled and frayed at the edges they had seen mr.c'.i service and were grimy with the contact of many fingers. As they lay there, face downward, no sign of an indorsement or memorandum of any sort was visible on the back of any of them Fountain had beckoned to Crake, who, with gray, set face and straining eyes, was now peering over his shoulder, and it was not till the former with his forefinger had drawn attention to what even when closely examined looked like nothing more than a few meaningless

which carried Crake and himself half across tho pavement. "My dear fellow, as if my purse wasn't at your servicer' exclaimed Crak» reproachfully.

A second or two later Gray came to an unsteady halt. I "Crake," he said with tipsy gravity, "I've mado a dashed idjit of shelf t'uight." I "Can't see it, my boy. What is it that you 'nave doner" "I've given yon I O for the money 1 owe yon, while all the time 1'vea twenty pound note iu iny pocketbook." "That 110 good tonight, old man. There's no place open where you could get it changed. But what does it matter? Yon can redeem your bit of paper when 1 see you tomorrow." "Yesli, but you won't eeo me tomorrow," answered Gray wiui another lurch and a hiccough. "Going to Paris by morning train. Telegram. Forgot all about it till now. Mush go.

June the eighth, the very day, in point of fact, beforo the murder of Mr. Lumsden."

Scarcely had the last words left the officers lips before Crake fell backward in a swoon. A careful search of his lodgings brought to light two more notes bearing a similar phonographic indorsement. The remaining five had probably been passed away by him in tho ordinary course of his business. He was committed for trial in dne course, but before that event took place he contrived to commit suicide in his cell. In a paper which he left behind him occurred tho following passage: "It is true that I killed my cousin, but I asseverate most solemnly that the act was wholly unpremeditated and was the result of a moment of ungovernable passion."

Some three months later one ot the quietest of quiet weddings was celebrated in a certain suburban church.

DR. R. C. FLOWER

And His Congress or Staff of Physicians Coming To Crawfordsville.

1 lie most remarkable cures of modern times are those performed by Dr. R. C. Flower, of Boston, aud his staff physicians. These Staff physicians the Doctor has established in several States, they visiting the more prominent centers at reasonable intervals. These staff physicians are the most brainy and skillful men of the profession, men of large experience and in stanch sympathy with Dr. Flower's great work.

Dr. R. C. Flower's staff physicians examine the patients, arrange for their treatment, and send immediately to his office a full description of each case. From that hour the patient is under the direct treatment and care of Dr. Flower. In this way patients unable to consult liim personally are treated exactly the same as If they had done so. Dr. Flower says: "1 can treat patients examined by one of my staff physicians fully as well as if I had examined them myself."' I Dr. O. C. Fairhurst aud G. W. Yanbleck. Dr. Flower's staff physicians. will be at the Robbius House, this city,

Tuesday, July 24tli. No sick man or woman should fail to consult these physicians. It is the greatest opportunity of the sick man's life—an opportunity to come directly under the care aud treatment of Dr. R. C. Flower without extra examination. Under this system Dr. R. C. Flower has reduced his charges to the low minimum of from ten (10) dollars per month and upwards including remedies, instructions and advice.

All charges for treatmeut are payable in advance. Upon examination the patient should pay the Doctor the charge for the first month's treatment, or a portion of it, the remainder being paid when the treatment is received.

Dr. Milan Edgefield, London, says: "Curing worn-out nerves is only play for Dr. R. C. Flower." The late Prof. K. F. Humiston, of Boston, formerly Dean of the Cleveland Medical College, said: "In my judgment Dr. R. C. Flower has cured more cases of consumption, euueer, tuiuor, paral vsis. rheumatism, heart trouble, nerve troubles, female discuses, kidney and liver troubles and catarrh than all the physicians 1 have ever known. 1 have seen monstrous tumors almost immediately disappear under his treatment, advanced cancers dry up and heal, the consumptive's cough stop and the ruddy glow of health take the place of the hectic flush, and the old man and child throw away their crutches und leap with joy. Iu a word, Dr. R. C. Flower and his staff physicians cure thousands per year who, but for his treatment, would die."

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, convinces us that this is tlie right way. Every department manager lias liis orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make Hay While the Sun Shines," Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to tlie dry goods business. But "hay making" time is passed— Ei (v is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of tlie season 15 per cent, 20 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
