Beauchampe’s DeoMe OB THE PRIMS DONNS.. A Story of Mystery, Love and Devotion. BY DAVID LOWRY. ? . CHAPTER X. THE SECOND LETTER. , Miss Beauchampe—Lest the cover of this may excite needless apprehension, I will say at the outset that this is written for the purpose of allaying apprehension. You will be surprised to receive a letter from this city, but your surprise canhot exceed the surprise and annoyance 1 experienced upon receiving orders to come here without moment’s delay. In our business we are expected to journey anywhere within five minutes’ notice. I Was on my way to your lodgings when I was met by the messenger who bore the orders to me which brought me here. This will fully explain the rather unsatisfactory telegram you received—wired from the train. My business here may detain me three or four days. I write to say what must sound cold; words are so weak, unless there is something behind them. AU I can say is to keep up heart. I am convinced all will yet be satisfactorily explained, and that your brother and you will soon be together, and that you will look back to this time with a smile at your feverish anxiety. I desire to caution you against a certain, or, rather, a very uncertain class of interviewers. I refer to men employed upon the press who will put words in people’s mouths that were never uttered. It will be best for you—and your landlady, also—to have but one answer for all comers. Say that you are not in a condition or frame of mind on speak on the subject; then firmly close the door. This rule ought to apply to all strangers. If a tried or trusted friend Vouches for a news gatherer, of course you will use your judgment I say this because there are reasons for preserving rigid silence. Dabney’s friends will re- . sort to anything to lessen the correct , impression already made upon the pub- , lie by the articles printed in a score of papers. I believe the estimate of his life that has excited Dabney’s friends to frenzy is just ■ -• If you should be in a great strait, or from any cause whatever require the services of one like me, or whom you can trust implicitly, address a note to John Simmons, 1102 East Eighteenth street. Mr. Simmons is in my confidence, and will prove a true friend and a wise and experienced counsellor. Once more—do not despond. You have friends. Miss Beauchampe, who are resolved to seek and restore your brother to you. If money, or ingenuity, or the experience of the police avail, he will be found speedily. Your friend, Arthur Livingston. P. S. You will understand I referred to such aid as a man only could render. I assume that you will repose confidence in Victoria, whose interest in you is very great Rely upon her as you would a sister. I CHAPTER XL BEHIND THE BARS. Thqse letters were posted by Livingston about ten in the evening, after he had done a hard day’s work. He had lunched lightly at noon. Now the inner man craved food. He posted the letters with h s own hand, and, glad that so much was oil his mind, turned in quest of a restaurant. Was it fancy? Did his senses play him a trick? Was not that Simmons’ brother at a little distance? The gas-light shone full in his face. Livingston walked toward him. The man suddenly stepped into an open door near at hand. Livingston hastened into the house —a saloon. There was no one in sight but the barkeeper. Livingston, ordered a glass of wine. As the barkeeper handed him the bottle, Livingston said, carelessly: “Which way did nfy friend go? He came in just now.” The barkeeper shook his head but did not speak. “He wants to see me as much as I want him. Tell him that Llvingston-r-Arthur Livingston, from New York—is here. ” ' The barkeeper pursed his lips. “We mind our own business here. I don't know who you want. Do you see anybody here?” “My friend came in just now,” said Livingston, adding, carelessly, “No matter. I give you credit for minding your business. At the same time, there is my hotel; my name is on the card. If it suits you to hand it to the gentleman who entered, I will be obliged to you. ” He walked out slowly, feeling half vexed at the barkeeper, and stood at the lamp fully fifteen minutes, but Simmons did not emerge from the saloon. Then Livingston stepped aboard a car and rode to his hotel. He would not make the rounds of the police headquarters and press until one in the morning. In the meantime he would rest As he was in the act of entering his hotel loud voices in hot altercation attracted his attention. A man, evidently under the influence of liquor, was regaling a group with his views of government A man in citizen’s attire approached the brawler and addressed him. The brawler looked up and down the street suddenly, and walked away quickly. Livingston looked after him. The man in citizen’s attire followed the brawler. Livingston was a little distance in the rear of this man. The brawler stepped into a saloon. Livingston could see a score or more of men in the saloon Suddenly his heart bounded. He beheld the side of Beauchampe’s head at : the end of the counter. Beauchampe j was talking to a villainous-looking man twice his age. He was gesticulating rapidly. Livingston entered the saloon without pausing, and was making his way directly to his friend, when a commotion arose. There were blows and cries, oaths and pistol shots. It was all Over In thirty seconds —less time. But even that short time sufficed to clear the room of those who were in it. When Livingston recovered his breath he was on the pavement rubbing a sprained wrist. A number of men were running away, but It was plain that at least half those in the room had escaped through the rear door and windows. But four men were in custody, and Livingston smiled upon realizing he was one of the four. He found an opportunity to whisper to one of the officers who had raided the place, telling him to send a well-known detective to hhn immediately. Then he was conveyed to the station house with his fellow-prisoners. One of these, the loud-talking man. was next to Livingston, but the brawler was silent, subdued. When he was placed in a cell, Livingston for the first time experienced dread lest he might be detained until morning. What if his friend should not

be near at hand? The very thought' made him angry. He strove to call the , attention of the officer near him. The man looked at him, but made no response. ; “Come here. I have something of importance to communicate. ” The officer shook his head. “They all say that. Try something else." ' | “Very well,” Livingston answered I calmly. “I sent word to McCandless, by | one of the men who brought us here. If , McCandless fails to get word, and you refuse to deliver my request to the captain within half an hour, at most, I will be sorry. It does not suit me to remain here long. Still, in that case, my feelings would be more agreeable than yours. ” The man affected indifference at first, then thought better of it Perhaps it would be best to speak to a sergeant or some one who could relieve him of the sele responsibility. He called the sergeant The sergeant was engaged with a gentleman, at that moment Presently the sergeant found time to step back. The gentleman accompanied him. The moment the gentleman beheld Livingston, he uttered an exclamation. * .“You here!” Livingstorf’s surprise checked his utterance. It was Simmons, who spoke. Simmons whom he thought at that moment, was in New York. The sergeant looked from one to the other. •< “Here, let my friend out” said Simmons shortly. “What blunder is this anyhow?” “It isn’t so wonderful after aH,” said Livingston, as the door was opened, and he stepped out. “I was looking for a friend in the saloon the police entered — that’s all.” He smiled. The sergeant recited the facts; Simmons regained his good humor, and presently all were laughing over the newspaper man’s misadventure. When the friends left the stationhouse Simmons suddenly clutched Livingston’s arm, saying, “How in the name of all that is wonderful did you come here?” “That is just what I was going to ask you,” Livingston replied, coolly. “I mailed a letter to New York for you an hour ago. ” “Humph! Like as not it is in the pouch with one I wrote to you.” “Come to my hotel. ” said Livingston. “Let us talk this thing over. ” Then they walked on, arm in arm. CHAPTER XII. A PURELY LOCAL DISTURBANCE. When the friends exchanged their views at Livingston’s hotel comparison of notes showed that they were both subject to orders neither could have anticipated or disobeyed. “I had not a minute to lose,” Simmons said. “My time was as short as the time allowed you. And I am here, as you may surmise, on business of the utmost importance. The truth will never ba known 'outside of a certain circle; but before we are done any information in my possession, or that I may acquire here, will prove very useful to the State authorities, as well as the city and county authorities. ” “Then you are not emp'oyed by the authorities of New York?” said Livingston, quickly, jumping to a conclusion “You’ve hit it. In this instance I will be paid out of the secret-service fund. But now—about your friend. This is a mistake. You are wrong.” “Why do you speak so positively?” “I’ll convince you you are mistaken.” Livingston smiled incr r ' dously and shook his head. “You were positive you saw my brother not long since?” “I did. ” “My brother is in California.” Litingston started. “I received a message from him today. He is at San Jose, on a matter of business. “Then it was you I saw?” “Os course. Tell me where you saw me?” When Livingston related the particulars Simmons nodded his head sagely. “That was precisely where I was—the barkeeper understands his business. By the way, he is not a barkeeper, except in an emergency. He is one of the sharpest detectives in the country. Some of the police here Jsnow it, but the authorities—the men who have given him his choice—relying upon him to do good work, know it better. ” “I may be mistaken about Beauchampe, and if I am, do you know it will relieve my mind? I can’t believe he would avoid me as this man does.” “And I am glad you are upset, as you say. ” “Why?” “Because it is conclusive proof to me that wo are all here together. The man you think is your friend, and the man I know is the murderer of Dabney—you and me—we are all here in Chicago just as wo were all in New York two days ago. I consider it a good sign. Something will turn up soon. Mark my words if matters are not brought to a focus suddenly. The only trouble is, I don’t know when I may have to jump on to New York again. ” “In my case, it is certain I will be here for some days, at least ” “I am not sure about that, either,” said Simmons “This solation is stunning—it will blow over in a few hours. It is purely local. I’ve got that far a'ong. The people in New York and other cities needn’t worry. ” “That’s the best news I’ve heard," said Livingston earnestly. “I confess I was stunned at first ” “That’s natural. It is our first experience in this line. ” “I hope it may be the last,” said Livingston. “So you think, spite of the fact that we are strangers in Chicago. ” “You forget. lam as much at home here as I am in New York.” “True. I forgot that. ” ♦ “I can trace a man here as easily as I Can in New York. And I mean to-place my hand—or to be able to put my hand on this man you think is Beauchampe. ” “You seem to have a new theory about my friends” “I have. I will not say now that your friend did not commlt the murder. I : will say I have satisfied myself, after I turning everything over in my mind, that there must be two men as much alike almost as my brother and myself. You have proved that much to me. ” “Have you any settled- plan?” Livingston asked after a lengthy pause, “Yes—l have thought it all out. I’ll take some of the police Into my confidence, and inside of twenty-four think, we will know something. If I want, to see you ” “Telephone to me at the Globe office, or here. ” “You’ll find me at police headquarters. Just ask for Jacobs.” “Jacobs?” “That's all. What are you going to do now? Have you any report to .make?” “Yes. I’ll be busy until daylight. I am going to police headquarters now. If you are going that way we may as well go together. I’ve a lot of work before me—l’ll be glad when ft’s all over, as you seem to think ft will be, so far as the safety of other cities Is concerned. I’ve been all along it could not be as bad as it seemed at first. Americans are not the people to permit an uprising such as was feared when I came on here. • “Not much,” said Simmons, in his positive way. “I won’t say what will be , a hundred years hence; Just now the

man who proclaims himself an anarchist will come to grief. Well, come. I have some work on hand, too, which, by the way, I will give you an account of confidentially—not for publication For your guidance, and to convince you this is a local disturbance.” “I suppose it will not be amiss for me to tell the Record folks, and impress it on them that this is simply a local outbreak?” “I’ll stake my reputation on that,” said Simmons. When Livingston closed his report, three hours he tacked to it the idea for a heading which reassured all who read the Record that day. One of the head-lines read: “A Purely Local Disturbance. ” CHAPTER XIII. BAFVLBD. Livingston was fagged out when he closed his report. He was despondent. The conference with Simmons had stimulated him,< infused hope, and inspired him with courage until his work was done. Then he began to experience a strange oppression. His thoughts reverted to New York, and to Miss Beauchampe. What was she doing? What could a girl like that do all alone? She might go mad. She might be tempted in sheer frenzy to go out alone, perhaps be subjected to insult or suspicion. In short, Livingston became a prey to utter despondency. Where then was her brother? If the man he had seen was another, where was poor Beauchampe? How did it help matters if it could be proved that Beauchampe and this man resembled each other? Livingston was walking to his hotel when his attention was attracted to two men on opposite corners of a street. One stood silent, motionless. The other shuffled his feet, and looked all about him. One stood so close to a lamp post that he might have been unnoticed, or mistaken for the post. The other stood out boldly on the street corner. One was slight. The other was of massive frame, evidently. As Livingston looked, he was impressed with the idea that the slender man was watching the large man. He felt somehow as if he was about to participate in a struggle. Instead of pursuing his steps in that direction, he paused, and stood looking at the figures on the opposite corner. Suddenly the large figure stood stock still. Livingston was sure the man was contemplating the figure close to the lamp-post. Then the big man made a move. He was crossing the street, when the slight man shot out from the lamppost and sped toward the opposite corner. Then a figure suddenly shot out as from a wall seemingly, and the slender figure turned, doubled on his tracks, and was heading toward Livingston. His face was turned toward a powerful light—a huge lamp in front of a hotel. The instant Livingston beheld his face, he sprang forward, uttering one word—“Beauchampe! ” The man shot a look at Livingston that bespoke fear and terror, but did not pause. The big man shouted: “Halt!” He, too, ran swiftly. He was within a few feet of Beauchampe when the latter whirled around—there was a flash, a report, and the big man put his hand to his thigh, but still pursued his man. Now, the third man sped past Livingston, and he could not resist the temptation to follow them. Thus all four were running on one side of the street swiftly. The wounded man labored, but he ran fast withal. Gradually this man s breath gave out He paused to signal his fellows, and at that moment Livingston passed him. The man nearest the man who fired the shot gained noticeably on Beauchampe. It was a neck-and-neck race for at least the length of a block. Then the pursuer put out a hand. Livingston could sec the men struggling. He was near them when one was thrown violently to the ground. The other—Beauchampe, sped on. Livingston still pursued. Another and another block was passed. Livingston realized they were approaching a passenger depot He feared he would lose Beauchampe now, if he did not succeed in reaching his side. It was Beauchampe — but so strangely altered. He called to him now as he ran, not in a loud voice, but so distinctly that Beauchampe could hear him. Beauchampe did not turn, did not abate his speed. He ran the faster until he reached an alleyway, when suddenly Beauchampe disappeared. When his pursuer looked up and down the alley, no sign of a living being was seen. It was as if the earth had swallowed Beauchampe up. While Livingston stood dazed, marveling what had become of Beauchampe, he heard violent outcries on the next street. Hastening in that direction, he observed a number of men running along the railway track toward a train of cars. They darted in and out and under the cars, which were motionless, then gathered in a group. Livingston could hear them talking excitedly. He approached tne group slowly. A® he neared the group, one man said: “I thought I had my hand on him. ” “And I was sure he jerked under the rear car, ” said another. “It is the strangest thing I ever saw,” another said. “But he’s as good as ours. I’ll bet my month’s pay we’ll nab him before the day’s over. ” v “I feel like taking that bet,” said a voice Livingston recognized. “In my opinion he’ll not be nabbed in Chicago. ” “How will he get out of it if we mind our business and look into every car?” demanded one young man, whereat there was a loud laugh at the young man’s expense. “What you don’t know, Adam,” said a big policeman, “would fill whole libraries. Os course he will get out of town if he gets aboard; he won’t be ahead of a brass band. ” Livingston stepped forward, and was recognized by Simmons, who sald to him, quietly: “It’s our man. I thought we had him, but he is too quick for us. He ie one of the sharpest I have ever had- to deal with. ” Livingston was on the point of relating all he witnessed, but he reconsidered and remaned silent for a time. Finally he asked Simmons what he thought of the affair. “I think,” said Simmons, with rare deliberation, kditting his brows, “that he will find Chicago too hot for him, and will get out it he can. ” “And which way will he go?” “To New York. Where else would he go?” “What did he come here for if he cannot manage to stay?” “You and I don’t want to stay, yet we are both here, ” Simmons answered with a smile. “I don’t know what he canto for—l know why he Is getting out —because the town is too hot to hold him now. He may thank me for that much. ” “Then you may as well admit he has baffled you again. ” “Yes —that’s the word. But that is precisely the reason why he is near the end of his string. I consider my reputation is at stake now, and I won’t rest satisfied until I have him in my grip, We have just lost six hours* solid work. Let him look out the next time I goaf ter him.” [TO BE CONTINUED. | The first panorama was shown in London in 1787.

THE BOOM IN TRADE REACHES ALL SECTIONS BUT THE SOUTH. Fir Iron in Active Demand, but the Structural Product Weak—Dry Goods, W neat, Beef, Wool, and Hides Show a Great Success — Corn Scarce and Higher. In speaking of the revival of business now so noticeable, R. G. Dun & Ca’s review of trade says: The general confidence is strengthened by the financial news from Europe, which indicates that disturbance of the money markets from that quarter need not now be feared, and by the change to' the foreign trade of this country, which l points to a material reduction of balances payable abroad in specie. There is a remarkable increase in the production of pig iron, almost to the unprecedented figures of last year. The sudden increase in production is not in all respects a favorable symptom. No corresponding improvement in the demand for manufactured products is yet seen, and the stocks unsold at only a part of the furnaces are now recorded as amounting to about 480,000 tons, showing a very large increase, particularly in coke iron. Unless the demand, rapidly improves the market must soon> weaken so far as to test severely the ability of some of the concerns to con-, tinue production. Already there is perceptible weakening In the market at Philadelphia and some concessions in price are noted for pig iron and for plates, while the market for structural iron is extremely dull. As usual of late the demand for rails is scanty, the demand for railroad bonds being still dull and disappointing. Reports from other cities are generally hopeful. Some improvement in the demand for goods is seen at Boston. Prospects are considered brighter at Philadelphia. In spite of the usual dullness of the season an improving tendency is seen at Buffalo, and lake shipping revives at Cleveland, with a larger demand than a year ago. Orders for clothing are good at Cincinnati, and the retail trade in dry goods is brisk. At Detroit manufactures move very fairly, and at Milwaukee trade is helped by improving crop prospects. Receipts of wheat, dressed beef, wool and hides at Chicago show a great increase, and new wheat comes in liberally, 85 per cent of it grading No. 2. The clothing and shoe trades show a large increase over last week, though in dry goods the trade shrinks a little. At St. Paul trade is backward but prospects are good, and for Minnesota are especially bright Bank clearings at St Louis exceed last year’s by 7 per cent., and money is going put to crops along with freedom, while general trade in all lines is of fair volume. At other Northwestern points, without exception, excellent crop prospects are noted as promising improvement At Nashville trade is fair, but dull at Memphis, unsatisfactory at Little Rock, falling off at Savannah, and sluggish at New Orleans, though a better demand is seen for cotton. At Jacksonville trade is better, with crops in good condition. The collapse In wheat speculation has come with a fall of 8 cents during the past week, but corn is scarce, and 3% cents higher, while oats have declined about 1 cent. Pork and hog products are higher, coffee has risen a quarter, and oil the same, but cotton is unchanged, and the general course of prices has been downward, as is natural at this season, the fall during the past week having averaged nearly % of 1 per cent. PAUPERS IN UNITED STATES. A Vast Army of Poor Supported at Public Expense. The Census Office has issued a bulletin on the subject of paupers in almshouses in 1890; which shows a total of 73,045, as against 66,203 in 1880. These are divided according to sex and color as follows: Number of males’(white), 37,387; number of males (co)ored), 3,354; number of females (white), 26,191; number of females (colored), 3,113. The ratio of almshouse paupers to the total population was 1 to 758. The present rate is Ito 857. This is a very marked relative decrease. The decline is due to the very much smaller number of paupers cared for in the North Atlantic division. In respect to nativity, not including the colored paupers, of the 66,578 white paupers, 36,656 are nativeborn, 27,648 foreign-born, and the place of birth of 2,274 unknown. The numerical order of the States according to the number of paupers in almshouses reported in each of them is as follows: New York... 10,272|South Carolina... 578 Pennsylvania..... 8,653 Vermont 543 Ohio 7,4J0 Mississippi 491 Illinois 5-395 Rhode 151 and..... 490 Massachusetts... 4,"25 Texas 464 Indiana 2,927 Minnesota 365 New Jersey....... 2,718 Delaware 299 Wisconsin 2,641 Nebraska 291 California....*.,.. 2,600 Arkansas 223 Mi550uri.......... 2,878 Dis. ot Columbia. 221 Virginia... 2,193 Montana. 182 Michigan.... 2.016 Louisiana 122 lowa 1,691 Oregon 99 Mary1and.........

In thirteen States the proportion of paupers is greater than in Illinois. Odds and End*. The citizens of Green Cove Springs, Fla., raised a subscription and purchased a hearse. Germany’s production of silver in 1890 was 770,000 pounds, about 9 per cent of the world’s product. A blue heron, measuring six feet from tip of bill to tip of tail and six feet one inch from tip to tip of wings, was shot at Pigeon River, N. C., a few days ago. An electric wire in Pittsburg parting, fell to the ground and within two inches of a pedestrian, who, though not touched by the wire, received a rather severe shock. v A barber at Coxsackie, N. Y., instead of the traditional barber’s pole, displays a mowing machine blade -painted red, white and blue as the emblem of his calling. A Pomona (Cal.) woman has devised a process for drying rose leaves so as to retain their fragrance, and has secured a market for all she can prepare with a New York firm. Catherine Hughes, who died at New Brunswick, N. J.,; was 105 years old. She was remarkably bright up to the time of her death. She read the news, papers when 100, and rarely used glassesIn one of London’s fashionable churches the preacher made an appeal to the effect that a certain baronet was, through no fault of his own, in debt to the amount of £6O, and had no means of paying. Consequently the congregation were called upon to provide the amount required. There are eighteen counties in Pennsylvania that have no debt They are Lehigh, Beaver, Cameron, Center, Columbia, Erie, Forest, Franklin, Green, Lawrence, Mercer, Montour, Perry, Pike, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wyoming and York. The combined debt of all the ether counties Is $58,970,978. i
