lias made the startling discovery that there is no such a thing as "raw material." Tiik Jouhxai. only has' a different view of what raw material is from that entertained by our neighbor. What Tub Jont.vAL believes is that the moment labor has been expended upon an article, that moment it ceases to be raw material and becomes somebody's finished product. Wool is the farmer's finished product, as soon as it is clipped from the sheep but then it is the cloth manufacturer's raw material. When he has woven it into cloth, it is his finished product but then it is the tailor's raw material. When he has made it into a suit of clothes it is his finished product. Raw materials are just as we find them in nature, before any hi Ixtr whatever,
has
•been expended upon them—such as iron ore, or coal in the mountains, or standing trees in the forest, Tiik Journai. believes these industries should be developed from our own native resources, because it gives remunerative wages to our own workmen, affords fair returns to our own capital, and keeps in our own country the money that would .otherwise go abroad to pay for such materials and labor, and because it prevents the reduction of the wages of our working people nearly or quite fifty per cent to the level of cheap foreign labor.

safed him for that date .at least. The entire party went to tea together at the hotel, but immediately thereafter the colonel carried Armitage away, and for two long hours they were cioseted over some letters that had come from Sibley, and when the conference broke up and the wondering ladies saw the two na come forth it was late—almost
10
o'clock—and the captain did not venture beyond the threshold of the sitting room. He bowed and bade them a somewhat ceremonious good night. His eyes rested—lingered—on Miss Renwick's uplifted face, and it was the picture ho took with him into the stillness of the summer night
their lonu confi vewe. Ttis wife and sisboth hailed him as he passed the sitting room door and urged liim to romo and join tie-in—they wanted to ask about Captain Armitage, with whom it was .•evident they were much impressed—but he answered that lie had some letters to put away, and ho must attend lirst to •that.
Among those that had been shown to the captain, mainly letters from Chester telling of the daily events at the fort and of his surveillance in the case of Jerrold, was one which Alice had brought him two days before. This had seemed to him of unusual importance, as the others contained nothing that tended to throw new light on the case. It said: "I am glnd you have telegraphed for Arntitage and heartily approve your decision to lay the whole case before him. I presume lie can reach you by Sunday, and that by Tuesday lie will be hero at the fort and ready to act. This will be a great relief to lue, for, do what I could to allay it, there is no concealing the fact that much speculation and gossip is afloat concerning tile events of that unhappy night, Learv declared he lias been close mouthed. The other men on guard know absolutely nothing, and Captain Wilton is the only officer to! whom in my distress of mind I betrayed that there was a mystery, and he lias' pledged himself to me to say nothing. Sloat, too, has an inkling, and a big one, that Jerrold is the suspected party. but 1 never dreamed that anything had been seen or heard which in the faintest way connected your honseltgjd with the matter until yesterday. Then Leary admitted to me that two women, Mrs. Clifford's cook and the doctor's nursery maid, had asked him whether it wasn't Lieutenant Jerrold he tired at, and if it was true that he was Trying to get ill the colonel's back door. Twice Mrs.Clifford has asked me very significant questions, and three times today have officers made remarks to me that indicated their knowledge »f the existence of some 'grave trouble. What makes matters, worse is that Jerrold, when twitted about his absence from reveille, loses his temper anil gets confused. There came near being a quarrel between him and Rollins at the mess a day or two since. He was saying that the reason he slept through roll call was the fact that lie had been kept up very late at the doctor's pally, and Rollins happened to come in at the moment and blurted out that if he was up at all it must have l.H-en after he left the party and reminded liim that lie had left before midnight with Miss Renwick. This completely staggered Jerrold, who grew confused and tried to cover it with a display of anger. Now, two weeks ago Rollins was most friendly to Jerrold and stood up for him when 1 assailed him, but ever since that night he ha? no word to say for him. When Jerrold played wrathful and accused Rollins of mixing in other men's business, Rollins bounced up to him like a young bull terrier, and I believe there would have been v. row had not Sloat and Hovt promptly interfered. Jerrold apologized, and Rollins accepted the apology, but has avoided him ever sinci—won't speak of him tome now that I have reason to want to draw him out. As soon as Armitage gets
The colonel accompanied him to the steps and rested his hand upon the broad gray shoulder. 'God only knows how I have heeded you, Armitage. This trouble has nearly crushed me, and it seems as though I were utterly alone. 1 had the haunting fear that it was only weakness on my part and my love for mv wife that made me stand out against Chester's propositions. He can only see guilt and conviction in every new phase of the case, and though you see how he tries to spare me his letters give uo hope of any hero he can do what I cannot—find out other conclusion."
Armitage pondered a moment before talked about.
he answered then he slowly spoke! "Chester has lived a lonely and an unhappy life. His first oxperience sifter graduation was that wretched affair of which you have told me. Of course I knew much of the particulars before, but not all. I respect Chester as a soldier and a gentleman, and I like him and trust him as a friend but, Colonel Maynard, in a matter of such vital importance as this, and one of such delicacy, I distrust not his motives, but his judgment. All his life, practically, he has beeu brooding over tho sorrow that came to him when your trouble came to you, and his mind is grooved. He believes he sees mystery and intrigue in matters that others might explain in an instant." "But think of all the array of evidence he has." "Enough and more than enough, I admit, to warrant everything he has thought or said of the man, but" "He simply puts it this way. If lie be guilty, can she be less? Is it possible,
1
Is that some women- many women —are utterly above such a possibility." Old Maynard wrung his comrade's hand. "You make me hope in spite of myself, my past experiences, my very senses, Armitage. I have leaned on you so many years that I missed you sorely when this trial came. If you had been there, things might not have taken this
Now as a matter of fact this is not true. The recent strike ordered by the American Railway 1'uion was not in a shape. He looks upon Chester—and it's protected industry. There have been one thing Chester hasn't forgiven in strikes among the various building him—as a meddling old granny. You trades which are not classed among remember the time he so spoke of him

his caliber is about the same thing. It may not be too late for you to act. Then, when he is disposed of once and for all, I can know what mnst be done, where she is concerned." "And under no circumstanccs can you question Mrs. Maynard?" "No, no! If she suspected anything of this, it would kill her. In any event, she must have no suspicion of it now. "But does sho not ask? Has she no theory alxiut the missing photograph? Surely sho must marvel over its disappearance. "She does, at least she did, but— I'm (wh.amed to own it, Armitage—wo had to quiet her natural suspicions in some way, and I told her that it was my doing that I took it to tease Alice, put the photograph in the drawer of my desk and hid thfl frame behind her sofa pillow. Chester knows of the arrangement, and wo had settled that when the picture was recovered from Mr. Jerrold he would send it to me.
Armitage was silent. A frown settled on his forehead, mid it was evident that the statement was far from welcome to him. Presently he held forth bis hand.
Well, good night, sir. I must go and have a quiet think over this. I hope you will rest well. You weed it, colonel.
But Maynard only shook'his head. His heart was too troubled for rest of any kind. He stood ga'/ing out toward the park, where the tall figure of his ex-adjutant had disappeared among the trees. He heard the low toned, pleasant chat of tl'ie ladies in the sitting room, but he was in no mood to join them. He wished that Armitage had not gone, he felt such strength and comparative hope in his presence, but it was plain that even Armitage was confonnded by tho array of facts and circumstances that ho had so painfully and slowly communicated to him. The colonel went drearily back to the room in which they had had

to
talk, he stole from the cottage, and,
with hands clasped liehind his back, with low bowed head, he strolled forth into the broad vista of moonlit road.
There were bright lights still bunting at the hotel, anil gay voices came floating through the .summer air. The piano, too, was tramming a waltz in the parlor, and two or three couples were throwing embracing, slowly twirliug shadows on the windows. Over in the bar and billiard rooms the click of the balls anil the refreshing rattle of cracked ice told suggestively of the occupation of the inmates. Keeping on beyond thesfe distracting sounds, he slowly climbed a long, gradual ascent to the "bench, "or plateau above the wooded point on which were grouped the glis-tening-white buildings of the pretty summer resort, and having reached the crest turned silently to ga/.e at the beauty of tltC ww.e—at (lie broad, flawless bosom of a.-i.nimer lake all sheen and silver from the unclouded inoon. Far to the southeast it wound among the lold P'ld rock ribbed bluffs rising
lie could still lienr the solt melody ot the wall*. Ii" remembered how the band used to play that same air and wondered why it was he used to like it. It jarred him now.
Presently the distant crack of a whip and the low rumble of wheels were heard, the omnibus coming back from the station with passengers from the night train. He was in no mood to see any one. He turned away and walked northward along the edge of the bench, toward the deep shadow of the grout shoulder of the bluff, and presently ho eanio to a long flight of woixleu stairs, leading from the plateau down to the hotel, and hen' lie stopped and seated himself awhile. He did not want to go home yet. He wanted to be by himself, to think and brood over his trouble. He saw the omnibus go round the bend
Down at the foot of the stairs ho could see the night watchman his rounds. He did not wmit to explain matters and talk with him. He would go around. There was a steep pat liway down into the ravine that gave into tho lake jnst "noyond his sister's cottage, and this he sought and followed, mov-
ing slowly and painfully, but finally reaching the grassy level of the pathway that connected the cottages with the wood road up the bluff. Trees and shrubbery were thick on both sides, and the path was shaded. He turned to his right and came down unlil once more he was in sight of the white walls of tho hotel standing out there on the point, until close at hand he could see the light of his own cottage glimmering like a faithful beacon through the.. trees, and then he stopped short.
A tall, slender figure—a man in dark, snug fitting clothing—was creeping stealthily up to the cottage window.
The colonel held his breath. His heart thumped violently. He waited— watched. Iii1 saw the dark figure reach the blinds. He saw them slowly, softly

"Mr. Jerrold, of course, avoids me. He has been attending strictly to his duty and is evidently confounded that I did not press the matter of his going to town as he did the day I forbade it.
Mr. Hovt's being too late to see liim lersoiialiy gave me sufficient grounds on which to excuse it, but he seems to understand that something is impending and is looking nervous and harassed, Ho has not renewed his request for ave, of absence to nut down toSablon. 1 told him curtly it was out of the question."
The colonel took a few strides up and down the room. It had come then. The good name of those lie loved was already besmirched by garrison gossip, and h" knew that nothing but heroic measures tould ever ••ilence scandal. Impulse and the innate sense of "fight" urged him to go at once to the scene, leaving his wife and her fair daughter here under I his sister's roof, but Armitage and com-

He bore with the signal lights, white and crimson I liim the mute image of her lovely face, and green, creeping slowly along in the shadows., revealed one of the packets plowing her steady way to the great marts below. Nearer at hand, jn«t shaving the long strip of sandy, wooded point that jutted far out into the lake, a broad raft of timber, pushed by a hardworking, black fnimeled stern wheeler, was slowly forging its way to the outlet of the lake, its shadowy edge sprinkled hero and therewith little sparks of lurid red—the pilot lights that gave warning of its slow and silent coming. Far down along the southern shore, under that black bluff line, close to the silver water edge, a glowing meteor seemed whirling through the night, anil the low, distant, rumble told of the Atlantic express thundering on its journey.

God, was it possible?—a low voice, a man's voice, whispering or hoarsely murmuring a name. Hit heard a sudden movement within the room, as though the occupant had heard and were replying, "('oming." His blood froze. It was not Alice's room. It was his—his and hers—his wife's—and that was surely her step approaching the window.
the blind was quickly open
ed. A white robed figure stood at the casement. He could see, hear, bear no more. With one mad rush ho sprang from his lair and hurled himself upon the shadowy stranger. "You hound! Who are you?"
But 'twas no shadow that- he grasped. A muscular arm was round him iu a trice, a brawny hand at his throat, a twisting, sinewy leg was curled in his,
and he went reeling back upon the
1
springy turf, stunned and well nigh breathless. When he could regain his feet and reach the casement, the stranger had vanished, but Mrs. Maynard lay there on the floor within, a white and senseless heap.
CHAPTER X.
Perhaps it was as well for all parties that rank Armitage concluded that he must have another whiff of tobacco thatnight as an incentive to the "think" he had promised himself. He had strolled through the park to the grove of trees out on the point and seated himself in the shadows. Here his reflections were speedily interrupted by tho animated flirtations of a few couples, who, tiring of the dance, came out into the coolness of the night and the seclusion of the grove, where their murmured words and soft laughter soon gave the captain's
with its ck'ar, truthful, trnstful dark eyes. He saw her as sho stood before him on the little porch when they shook hands on their laughing—or his laughing—compact, for she would not laugh. How perfect she was! Her radiant beauty, her uplifted eyes, so full of their self reproach aud regret at the speech she had made at his expense! How exquisite was the grace of licr slender, rounded form as sho stood there before liini, one slim hand half shyly extended to meet tho cordial clasp of his own! He wanted to judge and lie just, but that image dismayed him. How could he look on this picture and then on that, the one portrayed In the chain of circumstantial evidence which the colonel had laid before liim? It was monstrous! It was: treason to womanhood! One look in her eyes, superb in their innocence, was too much for his determined impartiality, Armitage gave himself a mental kick for what ho termed his imbecility and went back to tho hotel. "It's no use," he muttered. "I'm a Blavo of the weed and can't bo philosopher •without my pipe."
Up to his little box of a room he climbed, fonnd his pipecase and tobacco pouch, and in fivo minutes was strolling out to the point oiiS6 moro, when he came suddenly upon. tHi night watch-
man, a personage oT Whose functions and authority lie was entirely ignorant. The man eyed him narrowly and essayed to sjjouk. Not knowing him, mid desiring to be alone, Armitage pushed past uud was stir prised to find that a hand was on his shoulder and the man at his side before he had gone a rod. "Beg pardon, str," said the watchman gruiUy, "but 1 don't know you. Are you stopping at the hotel':" "lam, "said Armitage coolly, tak- I ing his pipe from his lips and blowing a cloud over his other shoulder. "And who may you be?" "I am the watchman, and I do not remember seeing you come today." "Nevertheless I did. "On what train, siiyr" "This afternoon's up train. "You certainly wore not an thoomni-

their number were received by waiting friends, but life had little of joy to him this night. He longed to go away, anywhere, anywhere, could he only leave this haunting misery behind. He was so proud of his regiment He had been so happy in bringing home to it his accomplished and gracious wife. He had been so joyous in planning for the lovely times Alice was to have, the social suecesses, the girlish triumphs, the garrisou gayeties, of which she was to be the queen, and now. so very, very soon, all had turned to ashes and desolation! Sho was so beautiful, so sweet, winning, graceful. Oh. (toil! could it bo that one so gifted could possibly be so base? Ho rose in nervous misery and clinched his hands high in air, then sat down again with hilling, hopeless face, rocking to and fro as ways a man in mortal pain, It was long before ho rallied, and again he wearily arose. Most of the lights were gone. Silence had settled down upon the! sleeping point. He was chilled with the night air and the dew and still' and heavy as lie tried to walk.
"You must excuse me, sir. did not think of that, and the manager requires me to know everybody. Is this Major Armitage?" "Armitage is my name, but I'm not a major." "Yes, sir I'm glad to bo set right. And tho other gentleman—him as was inquiring for Colonol Mi\ynard tonight? He's in the army, too, but his name don't seem to bo on tho book. He only came iu on tho late train. "Another man to see Colonel Maynard?" asked the captain, with suddon interest. "Just oome iu, you say? I'm iure I've uo idea. What was Jie like?" "I don't know, sir. At first I thought you was him. The driver told mo iie brought a gentleman over who askod some questions about Colonel Maynard, but he didn't get aboard at tho depot, and ho didn't- come down to the hotel— got off somewhere up there on the bench, and Jim didn't see him." "Whero's Jim?" said Armitage. "Cone with me, watchman. I want to interview him.''
Together they walked over to the
making barlli .vhicli the driver was just looking evnlni"
up uft(r
making everything secure for
the nifht. "Wi'o was it inquiring for Colonel Maynard?" psked Armitage. "I don't know, sir," was tho slow answer. 'There was a man got aboard as I was coming across the common there in the village at tho station. Thero were several passengers from the train and some baggage, so ho may havo started ahead on foot, but afterward concluded to ride. As soon as I saw him get in I reined up and asked where ho was going. He had no baggage nor uutliin, and my orders aro not to haul anybody except pet/pie of tho hotel, so he came right forward through tho bus and took tho seat behind me and said 'twas all right, he was going to tha hotel, and he passed up a half dollar. I told hiiu that I couldn't tako tho money —that bus fares wore paid at the office —and drove ahead. Then he handed me a cigar, and pretty soon he asked me if there were many people, and who had the cottages, and when I told him he asked which was Colonel Maynard's, but he didn't say he knew him, and the next thing I knew was when we got here to the hotel lie wasn't in the bus. He must ha stepped back through all those piisseii^ers aud slipped off up there on the bench. He was in it when wa passed the little la-own church upon the hill." "What is he like?"
v,"
"I couldn't see him plain. He stepped out from behind a tree as we drove through the common and came right into the bus. It was dark in there, and all I know is ho was tall and had on dark clothes. Some of the people inside must havi! seen him better, but they are all gone to bed, I suppose. "I will go over to the hotel and inquire anyway," said Armitage, anil did so. The lights were turned down, and no oue was there, but he could hear voices chatting in quiet tones on tho broad, sheltered veranda without, and going thither found three or four men enjoying a quiet smoke. Armitage was a mail of action. He stepped at once to the group: "Pardon me, gentlemen, but did any of you come over iu tho omnibus from the station tonight?" "I did, sir," replied one of the party, removing his cigar and twitching off the ashes with his little fluger, then looking up with the air of a man expectant of question. "Tho watchman tells mo a man camo over who was xnaking inquiries for Colonel Maynard. May I ask if you saw or heard of such a person?" "A gentleman got in soon after we left the station, and when tho driver hailed him he wont forward and took a seat near him. They had some conversation, but I did not hear it. I only know that ho got out again a little whilo before we reached the hotel." "Could you see him and describe him?
I am a friend of Colonel Maynard's, au officer of his regiment, which will account for mv inquiry." "Well, yes, sir. 1 noticed he was very tall and slim, was dressed in dark clothes anil wore a dark slouched hat well down over his foiehead. He was what I would call a military looking man, for I noticed his wallf as he got off, but he wore big spectaclos, blue or brown glass, I should say, and had a heavy lieard.'' "Which way did he go when ho left the bus?" "He walked northward along the road at the edge of the bluff, right up toward the cottages on tho upper level," was the answer.

A few more weeks and the Spring and Summer business ot '94 will be history—its most important event—our Great Clearing Sale. We won't speak of the weather, but of the highest grade Dry Goods, in many instances less than cost.
Successful Storekeepjng
Does not mean gigantic profit—it means doing business—continually—constantly—selling
seasonable goods—even at a loss—before holding them over for many months. We
are successful storekeepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of sea
sonable stuff at even less than cost, while you most want them.
This is the argument for the great

Only two ways to run a business—a rig-ht and a wrong way—years of suocess, of progress, convinces us that this is the. right way. Kvery department manager has his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner
"Make flay While tbe Bun Shines." Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. Hut "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the 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.
