Though had the blow proved fatal— —” “Robert would have been released before night, inspector. There ifcsfto assumption in this case—on my part.” The clock in the inspector’s office struck the hour of eleven, as Sellars, accompanied by the banker and his son, stepped into the street. “The bonk has not been opened to-day,” ookL Mr. Kellogg. “I had Earl post a notice on the door this morning. However, I have my key and we can gain adm“lhSre no wish to Visit the bank,” said Sellarsi | we go oyer to the hotel?” ” “No, Mr. Kellogg, we must visit your hqpl&, and at once.

He called to express his sympathy.”

‘‘Yes, yes, I presume he has gone to inform his motheT of the situation. Poor Elinor! She was nearly overcome when I told her of the fearful calamity that had befallen us. We will cause her heart to, rejoice. Here Is the carriage.” The three men entered it and the vehicle rapidly rolled away. “What time did you return, Mt. Sellars?” asked Robert. “I arrived on the 10:30 train from a visit to Richmond.” “Then you were here previous to that time?” said the banker. “For a few days.” “I see you carry a small package under your arm,” observed Mr. Kellogg. “Do not forget and leave it in the carriage when we enter the house. The urchins on the streets of Chicago are of an uncertain quality.” “I shall hardly forget it,” said Sellars; calmly. “That package contains the contents of the one which Collector Elsworth of the express company was robbed on the, twenty-seventh of June.” “Impossible!” exclaimed the banker. “Oh, no; I assure you it Is a fact. But please request your driver to touch up his horses. Minutes are very valuable just now.” The amazed banker did as requested and leaned back in the vehicle with eyes riveted on the countenance of the great detective as the bay team sped on. CHAPTER XXI. Once on the north side of the river, Thomas guided his team eastward to Dearborn avenue, and out that residence thoroughfare the vehicle rolled on. When within half a block of the banker’s residence Robert observed: “There is Earl just entering the house now.” Not a moment later the carriage was brought to a halt before the gate, and the three men descended therefrom. “Mr. Kellogg,” said the detective, laying a hand on the banker’s arm as they passed up the walk, “no ordinary ordeal confronts you. It will require all your resolution and firmness of character to confront it. It was to fathom two, mysteries that I accompanied Dr. Strong to Chicago. I have fathomed both.” “Two mysteries! You accompanied Dr. Strong to Chicago? Really, I-—” “Let explanations come later, Mr. Kellogg; there is no time for them now.

With Miss Clough.

Many things combined to make intereourse with Miss Clough, the first principal of Newnbam College, a source of satisfaction and pleasure. Her sympathy, her Varied interests, her sugrgestiyeness and her quaint little oddities ;of speech and manner made her always entertaining'. Her sayings were repeated all over the college, and many of.-the girls would declare that a day was dull in which they bad not exchanged some Word with'dfCT. In her “Memoir” some of her sayings are recorded. I went once with her to stay for a few days with some people whom we -had neither ofus' taet before. My first Impressions were decidedly unfavorable When we were left alone in our rooms, I expected Miss Clough would make some comment on our new acquaintances, but she remarked: “Well, we shall be able to sit a good deal in our bed-rooins.” Miss Creak reports the following hit of conversation concerning a fellowstudent: 1 - ( ,j > “Mydear, do you remember Miss A,?”* “Yeß, Hiss dough.” A “Well, my .dear, the poor little thing has got $ lot of tiresome relaAiohfc'and as soon as she gets a little money' they come round her and get it away from her, so I have got her a post in Timt buctoo.” “Yes, Miss Oldngh?” more doubtfnly. “And then, my dear, when she has got them all over there, she can come back to England and leave them.” . j* Who but Miss Clough tVbMd 31h.Ve said, when some of tier students failed to reach the heights expected es them in certain examinations, that “Mathematics ,wns a deceiving .subject?”— Youth’s Companion.

THE PEOPLE'S MONEY.

* VICTORIES FOR SILVER. With Japan of the gold standard and 'With the English gold monome tablets urging the opsntog of the India mints to the frefe coinage of sHvfir,i the foreign outlook for the silver cance ls cheering. , \\ nl J( y* i} u , IU But certain at boiae are worthy of consideration. in, the first place, tlie authorization of $465,000,000 of government bonds cohtains no taint of gold legislation. The ' bonds tire “coin” bonds hi spite of the desperate attempts of the “reformers,” who strove to place this country “more firmly on the gold basis” shortly after the inauguration of .McKinley. But in addition to this- important fact it must be noted that the bill for the coinage of thei seigniorage was passed by both houses of Congress and that gold advocates were forced to vote for the measure. ) ,t) ... ~ When if is remembered that the monetary, “reformers” are the authors of the statement that to coin the seigniorage was to “coin a Vacuum,** the extent of the silver victory may be more ; readily estimated. Now the administration organs are satisfied to lfet the money > question in i Congress go over until the next session. Andwhen that session,meets, they will he still morg. anxious to postpone ttye day of discussion. The' fact Is, the people of the United States are becoming enlightened on this important question ami' the Republicans 1 see defeat 1 in farther ! advocacy of gold monometallism on their part.—Chicago Dispatch. Falling Prices. The certain effect of failing prices Is to bring about an unjust distribution of wealth in the interest of the, drones Who have fixed Incomes of, so .many dollars, and against the interest of the producing classes, who see their profits Vanish as prices fail. This discourages legitimate enterprise and industries and makes the only safe Investments those Which, like government bonds, give a fixed return of so many dollars. The lvalue of these Is Increased as prices fall, without the holders having done anything tp pasp s the , iqcrqase* and wealth is absorbed into a few hands. The effect of a rising dollar and falling prices is as certain as it Is subtle, and the mass of the people are deceived as to the true effect because they see only the same number of dollars as before going to the capitalistic classes, forgetting the Increase in their purchasing power. There fs truth in the popular belief that rising prices mean good times and falling prices bad times. As President McKinley, in defending his tariff bill in Congress, said: ' “The most distressing experiences in the history of the country—-aye, in. all, human history—have been when everything was lowest and .cheapest measured by gold.” Silver Parties Co-operate. The early State conventions which Are being held in different parts of the Union all Indicate .continued co-opera-tion between the different silver parties. This Is particularly apparent In the proceedings of the contentions in Kansas and Minnesota, where the utmost harmony prevailed. The present State officers were all renominated In Kansas, and In Minnesota the union ticket is headed by the famous silver man, ex-Congressman John. Lind, who ran 50,000 ahead of his ticket in 1896. Good news comes from other States as to the character of the candidates. It is evident that many fqrmidable nominations are being made. Gold Up, Wheat Down, For more than a twelve-month Australia, India and other Important countries, generally competitors with our wheat and other food products, have been bidding them up against the depressing effects of the gold standard. When they raise full crops they will no longer do this, Then, whatever puts gold up will'put wheat down.

Among the dyspeptics, or those inclined to dyspepsia and indigestion, this knowledge of the demands of the stomach afjer a good ‘meal htid 'practice of sleeping afterward- should prove to them one of the remedial measures for relief.— ‘‘How to Live Longer,” by Dr. Hayes.
