CHAPTER XVn.— (Continued.) “Dear Julia," interpoeed Beatrice, *‘Mr. Lathrop waa certainly thinking more of you than what waa taking place ou the street. Juat aa he waa mistaken regarding the lady he waa in error in Identifying the atranger aa Count Bo*cll.” “Oh, no, he kept too good an eye upon him, and waa greatly surprised to aee the lady and two other gentlemen, one of them a gray-h aired man whom he had peen once in your company; the other eras unknown to him." “Penhapa he took the old gentleman for Mr. Mareden; &* Imagination haa divined a perfect comedy of error*.” “Kenneth haa too level a bead for that. He haa proved thia by delivering ua from she bouae in the forest That third person made him feel a little uneasy; he thinks he haa seen him at Easton.” “Please do not apeak of Baaton —it reEiinuls me of Victor. How plaSftnt It could be to have him here with us during Christmas.” “You may aee him yet,” consoled Julia. “You must not become too discouraged, Miss Alberson. Remember It might be worse than it le." “Yea, we will get along quite pleasantly after I have secured some work, and gain a regular correspondence with Victor. It is fortunate we have a work basket to that 1 can commence the embroidery on the slippers, which I had intended for Victor. Alaal he cannot um them now. Mr. Debano can dispose of them for me.” “Yea, Dr. Ddbano haa always been pour good, kind friend, and will gladly ‘ Bo whatever will benefit you,” said Julia, who was enthusiastic In lauding the good traits of the physician. Beatrice diligently labored on the fine, tender leaves and tendrils, and when completed, formed an artietlc piece of Sunbroidery; in fact, in her skillful hands t waa rendered more artistic than necessary. She seldom left the room, and when fihe did ao it was in the company pf Julia, closely veiled. Aa soon as she pad arranged her apartment, Beatrice (toaitively insisted on paying hsr part of the expenses incurred, and felt quite satisfied at relieving Julia of the financial fares to some extent. Kenneth could not repress a smile at her demand. “Poor child,” said he, addressing Julin, “let us not deprive her of her wish. Who knows if Mias Albenson will ever see the face of her beloved —pcrhape he pas changed hia mind —why, we neither tec nor hear anything of him.” , “Such a contingency would break her heart,” replied Julia, after a short meditation. “Nonsense, Julia, hearts do not break to easily as we generally think. Dr. Debano is a fine, educated gentleman, and would be more able to support a wife suitable to her former mode of living end training than Victor Raymond. Yes, yes, he will marry Mias AJbeneon.” “I do not agree with you, Kenneth, let me tell you a secret —she intends i take the night train for Baston.” “We mint not allow R! If your influence ia not sufficient, then we must task Dr. Debano's assistance. To let her go la out of the question.” “Why, Kenneth, how dare we tell her private affairs to tlha doctor?” “Yea, you are right,” he replied. "She la certainly old enough to govern her own actions. We have secured her a home where she can rest free from cares if she to desires—we have done our part faithfully and honestly.” At that moment the landlady appeared et the door, carrying a largo basket which she put on the table, saying aa rite (did ao: “AU charges paid,” and hastily withdrew. “Ah, yea, I aee,” said Julia. “I understand and am happy for Beatrice’s take. The doctor ia a good hearted soul,” end she began to take the contents from the basket, which contained, among other things, an elegant timepiece, a wreath of flowers, a box of confectionery, some fruit, two pheasants, and a cream tart “Well, well, 1 must admit these are splendid gifts," spoke Kenneth. “The doctor is liberal.” As the Christmas evening grew apace, Mrs. Lathrop brought the beautiful wreath of flowers to Beatrice, who was sitting at the window, busily engaged in the embroidery. Her face grew more animated as ahe looked at the rosea. “Do you wish to put them In the water yourself, desr?” “Yea, immediately—only let me make a few stitches, then I will have the slippers ftniaked. Julia, dear, please do me is favor by taking them to some store in ft he morning and aee if you can sell llhem.” “Would you not like to give the commission to Dr. Debano?” slyly hinted Julia. “Oh, yea; and I v hope to obtain new order* through hia recommendations; but •would lose too much valuable time by until his next visit Thera now, they are finished! How do you like them?” holding the product of her work tup to the light for inspection; not paying the least attention to a low knock at the door. Thinking that Mrs. Brooks desired to Inquire for JuHa, ahe continued jeon versing, turning her back to the entrance. “How much do you think my labor is worth on them? Tou see, Julia, I am commencing to value money •and——” “Ah! may l be allowed to express an opinion r questioned a marry void" at “A visitor,” exclaimed Beatrice, aa ahe rose somewhat surprised. “Allow me to give yen e hearty welcome, Mr. Debnno; else to request your opinion on my embroidering,” and extending her hands 1* ahe brought the work again to “An sntxa Has pises of work, dear My. I mast admit the torgst-menota hatwssn the fesas leak as natural as life

without exaggeration. Do you know where you can dispose of them?” “No, doctor. If I did that would be too good luck for a beginning.” “I do not think so. However, will you let me take charge of them? I know a firm that will only ( be too glad to buy them. What do yon ask for them?” he Inquired, making a low bow In order to avoid her gaze at thia delicate question. “I have not the least Idea; but let me aee—the material amounts to four shillings and by adding my laty>r I should ask about one dollar —la it too much?” “Too much? I should say not. Fine handiwork commands a good price now, and you may as well ask three dollars as one.” “Three dollars! Mr. Defcano? Then I can earn on an average more than three huudred dollars a year. Oh, that la excellent!” In her ecstacy nhe felt Inclined to hog Julia, who now placed the doctor’s gifts on the table. Strangely surprised, Beatrict gased upon the delicacies, then upon Julia. “By the way, Miaa Trevor,” said Paul, after a pause, “I can take the slippers to a friend thia evening. One question more, dear lady, could you use my padnt box with lta accompanying accessories? You fee you can thus save an outlay for such at present.” “I did not know you painted, too," she remarked. “Oh, yea, Mine Trevor; but my work did not suit my slater and I concluded to take up something else. My sister’s husband died lately and she ia now a widow at the early age of twenty-one. At Beulah’s marriage 1 quitted the home and engaged in hospital work. She became a sister of charity, and devoted herself to nuraing the sick in a hospital where ahe has now advanced to the position of superintendent. It is in the Nile country. Great at times were her suffering* in battling against the natives’ rudeness, but she called to her assistance very prudent measures, and her atemnes>s of character aoon conquered the uncultured people, and finally gained for her the respect and reverence of many." “Oh, how I would like to make her acquaintance,” confessed Beatrice. “If by accident she should return, I will take pleasure In Introducing you. But my visit must come to an end for to-day. We physician* can seldom enjoy an hour of uninterrupted happiness. Our patients seem to take good care to deprive ua of our happiest momenta. For instance, this hour which I have passed In your presence la one of the ferw Intervals which illuminates my life’s path.” “Life should not be a burden to you.” “Perhaps you are right, Miss Trevor. The assurance of mitigating the Bufferings of humanity should animate us, to be aura. Alas! the small taste of domestic life experienced while my slater -was married has estranged me from bachelorhood.” “You should select a permanent residence for your vocation," responded Beatrice. “There you may build a neat and search for another Beulah.” “Once I had thought it possible,” he replied, sadly, “but now I know only too well It can never be.” “Pardon me, Mr. Debano,” Interjected Beatrice, “I did not think that my words would grieve you.” “Of course not; you could not know it,” he answered. “And now good-by until to-morrow. I will bring the paint box with me, too," and, ardently pressing her hand, he departed with the slippers wall hidden in his overcoat pocket.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Dr. Paul Debano kept b» promise. Early on the.following morning he appeared and stated to Beatrice that he had sold her work and received an additional order, part payment on which had been made in advance, and simultaneously handed her three glittering sovereigns and six new shillings. Beatrice's heart bounded with joy. “I had not the least idea that a person could earn money so easily,” said she, and she sent forth a gleam from her sad eyes so fascinating that Paul, with difficulty repressed hia love for her. “How often have I read in books and newspapers the misery In the lower classes, and yet a person can earn an honeet living by a little effort. I do not understand how some women have to battle against hunger.” Dr. Debano did not make a direct reply. He had frequently witnessed struggles for existence; how victims were bled to exhaustion in the midst of affluence, and took precautions to spare Beatrice from a realization of the rough reality. “Fortunately you are favored by good luck; nevertheless, you must not dispose of it lavishly.” “Lavishly? Really, you should preach such words to Mrs. Lathrop,” she responded. “Did she commit such a grave error?” he asked, scarcely able to conceal his delight. “I cannot understand It—it is quite inexcusable. Why, she has actually spent her husband’s month’s salary in one day.” “How is that?" inquired Debano. “For instance, she served such a sumptuous breakfast. First there was a fine pheasant, than asparagus, strawberriea, also delicious pudding, and the more startled my eyes became at each new dish, the better delighted she looked. Only please notice the desaert ou the table— is it not unpardonable for a girl in ay atrcn uatances to eat such delicacies?” pointing to the richly covered table. “Well, CMatmas comas only ones a year, |to know,” averred the doctor. “Tsaj and it It a good thing feat it comas bat once daring that time, or poor Kenneth would have to endure mom yet Hay X help you to aomsdrfngt Lam oorry yau did not arrive earlier, it would

have bast, ao pleasant to have breakfasted in your company.” “I could not, uninvited, have risked to come, and I had Instructed myself on that point yesterday evening—Judging from Mrs. Lathrep’s preparations in the kitchen.”

“You did not act very discreetly, doetor,” she joked, "You would hove greatly obliged me by participating.” “How could I? Yon did not send me any invitation?" he remarked, seemingly provoked. ”1 did not know I would b* able to serve anything; but I observe you seem to be well posted. You deserve s little lecture —yet, perhaps you enjoyed the company of some friends?" “No; I was as lonesome as yourself.” “I am /notified in feeling angry with you; but then anybody would become Illhumored If they had to’ live aa secluded as I; and it is no wonder that I long for company,” and a tear waa visible on her cheek. “Don’t,” said he, taking her hand within lits own, “or I may be tempted to say a word which I would later regret. I would gladly have arrived earlier, Mias Trevor, but when a lady ia betrothed there is a certain limit.” Her eyea gleaxfied a moment; then the blood rushed to her cheeks and temple*. “My fiance can quietly trust me.” “Dear lady, I believe it without question,” he affirmed, with rubdued emotion. "But the question is Would he trust me?” And In hia heart sounded the words: "Can I trust myself?” “Not trust you, Mr. Debano, after you have manifested auch a kind interest in me?” she questioned in a milder voice. “Certainly, you do not know him, or you would not regurd him as so ungrateful. I will tell you something, Mr. Debnno; ns soon as I have finished my new orders and receive the money therefor, I must visit him; I can hardly wait for the moment.” “That Is unnecessary, dear lady,” he interposed, kindly. “I can advance you the money; you can repay me when you wish; that la, If you ao desire.” But she could not accept the properition. “It is a great temptation, but I must not accept it. In case my work, should not satlrfy your friend, I will perhaps b# unable to pay my debt. But—to see him —he will be so anxious to hear from me. Mr. Debano, you cannot imagine how dearly he loves me,” she concluded, casting down her eyes and blushing. “I can easily imagine it,” he answered, smiling. “And if I were you I would not hesitate a moment. Here is a fivepound note at your disposal.” Thu* apeak ing, he placed the bill on the table. "It is only a .piece of paper,” file ®rgued with herself, “and yet what consequences may depend upon it for he and I. Yet I cannot persuade myself to accept It." “You trouble your conscience unnecessarily, Mlsa Trevor. Only allow me to make one request: Walt until after the holidays before you enter upon your queet." “Yea, I will wait; but I cannot accept your kind offer. What would you do if you were in my place?” “What would I do? Why, if I could rtop one tear from showing to the girl I loved, one moment of care, by borrowing, I should not hesitate a moment,” he affirmed. (To be continued.?

GOLD IN BLACK HILLS.

Flnctuatians of Stock Market Are Not Heeded There. Depreciation In the market value of industrial securities does not affect tbe chief business of the Black Hills, for In bringing gold out of the earth the miners nre producing the standard of value Itself, says the New York Tribune. The Black Hills ars no Klondike, with miles of auriferona beach, and to work the low grade ore bodies properly large investments of capital nre required; but the veins are big and a paying body once well developed gives steady and fairly sure returns. The Introduction of the cyanide and chlorination processes, with their capacities for treating refractory ore and for saving the small percentage of the precious metal formerly wasted by free milling, has meant much to the mining regions of South Dakota. lacidentally, it has robbed the miner out of a Job of a sure source of for the tailings, the waste from ths big stamp mills, are now being sent by pipe lines to the cyanide plants, instead of being turned Into the creek bottoms for the miners to waßb out for placer gold.

The Black Hills, though only ft stretch of country some 120 miles long by sixty wide, is the third largest producer of the gold fields of the world. And yet the ore runs from $4 to |ls ft ton, with the average much nearer ths lower figure. Of course, this means that the mines must be run on a large scale and the large sums of Eastern capital invested in and near Lead show that there is abundant faith in the low-grade proposition. Rich ore is rare. Now and then there Is some lucky prospector, like Otto P. Th. Gantz, the German miner, who. after nearly fifty years of prospecting in the West, took out ore from a claim near Lead that assayed as high as $05,000 to the ton. But such cases are not frequent Mining in tbe Black Hills shows more plainly than usual the importance of modern methods. Tbe pioneers found placer mining profitable in the creek beds; then the quartz seemed a good-paying proposition and yielded about S3O a ton when crushed In the dry-stamp mill. But this lasted only a little while; then the ore became refractory and of a lower grade and only the Introduction of modern methods has meant prosperity to the South Dakota mines. Since 1870 the output of the region haa been more than $130,000,000, out of which one has paid some $10,000,000 in dividends.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

Farmers and the Truata. The farmers of the country used to ' be “the people” to whom the politicians appealed at election, and who were therefore the political power In the land. Wlio thinks of the farmer now as the great political factor except n few Congressmen who represent purely agricultural districts, and with them tlie nominating power is In the hands of the residents of the villages or county seats? The political wire-pullers are the lawyers and hankers and the county ring, and back of them all Is the railroad or trust attorney who directs them In the interest of some corporation or railroad. Take the great agricultural State of lowa, for example, and all her representatives in Congress of both houses are lawyers, except two, who are bankers. None of these Republican leaders have been active in passing any bill of interest to the farmers, nor have they protested against the passage of laws that are detrimental to the interests of the farmers. About the same condition of affairs exists In all the Western States. The large majority of the Republican members of Congress are at the beck and call of the corporations, and Instead of laws being passed, to control these giant combines the last Congress passed an act that relieved the railroads of being prosecuted under the criminal section of the Interstatecommerce act. The law passed, giving the President power to publish such proceedings of the trusts as could be discovered, known as the “publicity law,” has, so far, not been put In operation, and If it were It woidd be worthless to the farmers, for no farmer has been silly Enough to Invest Ills savings in the watered stock of the corporations. It is therefore not singular that the farmers of the agricultural States are demanding tariff reform, and that the “lowa idea,” that the tariff fosters trusts oppress the agricultural communities, has become an issue. The State Grange of lowa Is aroused to the exactions of the packers’ trust and the railroads. The Grangers say they cannot understand why cattle and hogs should be cheaper and meat dearer.

The same complaint comes from Illinois, and a few dpys ago the farmers around Bloomington held a meeting and urged the retail dealers to return to the old method of killing and dressing their own hogs and cattle. The report of the prceedings of this meeting declares that: “High freight rates and exorbitant charges for yardage and feed at Chicago, together with the low prices that the trust has installed for live stock, renders their fat cattle and hogs almost worthless to them.” These farmers could have added that President Roosevelt and Attorney General Knox have refhsed to bring criminal proceedings against the packers’ combine, although that trust exists in direct violation of the antitrust law. The farmers may imagine that the suit commenced against the packers for an injunction to prevent them from combining in restraint of trade, will, if confirmed by the Supreme Court, do away with the monopoly that the packers now have of the stock yards and of dictating the price of cattle and hogs and of meat to the retail dealers. Some farmers may think that If the suits above mentioned and the one against the merger of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railroads are decided against the combines that the trust fabric will collapse and competition again prevail. ~No one who understands the trust question so believes. The packers’ trust, bad as It is, Is not the only combine that the farmers should Investigate. The gigantnc steel trust robs them when they buy anything made of iron of steel, from a shovel to fence wire, or a pound of nails. The Standard Oil trust charges them such an enormous profit on kerosene that the trust pays 45 per cent in dividends. If a farmer builds a house the lumber and shingle trust, the lime and cement trust, the white lead and linseed oil trust, the window glass trust, all add largely to the cost. When the farmer comes to furnish his house the carpet, oil cloth, stove, pottery and cutlery trusts all take much more than competition would allow them. When it comes to clothing himself and family the farmer finds the woolens, leather, rubber goods and the cotton duck trusts have advanced the price enormously. He finds the luxuries of life controlled by trust*. t When he packs pork for his own use the salt and borax trust get In their work. The sugar trust and the cereal trust are a constant drain upon bis resources. If bis children are sick, or well, the drug trust, the castor oil trust and the baby food trust add to his expenses, and when his children arrive at school age the school book trust and the school furniture trust augment his taxes. If he desires to shield his family from mosquitoes the wire screen trust makes it more expensive to do so. The binding twine aud harvester trust enhance the cost of caring for bis grain, and the parts green trust liav.es him at the mercy of the potato bugs unless be Is wilting to pay an I | exorbitant profit to the trust. When

he dies the burial casket trust takes a large slice from the meager savings he has left for his widow and children. Nearly all of these trusts and hundreds of others that prey upon the farmer or whoever consumes their products are protected in their monopoly by the tariff, which tax" ranges from 25 to 100 per cent, and yet the Republican leaders, from President to Congressman, neither recommend or intend to reform such an iniquity. Many of these trusts sell their products cheaper in Europe than to our own people because the tariff protects them in doing so, and yet the Republican leaders say, “Let well enough alone.” The tariff is “well enough” for the trusts, but at the expense of the farmers and people. Mornaneering the Country. The New Year’s gift offered to the people of the United States by the steel trust and its related corporations is a cut in the wages of some 200,000 workmen and the discharge of 50,000 more. Thus do the “captains of industry” and “kings of finance,” that have been acclaimed as the guardians of our business interests, strike a staggering blow at the prosperity of the country. If we are to be covered by the black fc elouds of hard times the calamity will be directly due to these “captains” and “kings” that, Instead of doing business honestly, have given their minds to overcapitalizing the properties in their charge, rigging the stock market, and, through devices which have been disclosed by the collapse of the shipbuilding trust, luring Investors to their ruin. Now the hapless employes of the “captains” and kings” are called on to endure a reduction of their wages, none too high at best, in order that dividends may be earned ou the overeapitalizatioq. If these efforts to compel labor to bear the weight of the water In industrial stocks shall succeed—ls in midwinter the men determine to accept half a loaf rather than risk getting no bread for themselves and their families —what must be the consequence? Trusts in general will follow the wage-cutting fashion—already In progress—and every branch of business will feel the pinch. Low wages mean hard times. There Is no getting away from that fact. Reduce the purchasing powers of the massps, and of necessity there follows a narrowing of the market for goods, which results in a restriction of ouput. First the workman suffers, then the merchant, then the professional man. Luxuries are cut off, and next necessaries are harder to get. Capital Is frightened and waits for better times before employing Itself and industry is paralyzed. We are reaping the fruits of the speculative and the monopolistic trusts—the .combinations formed inside and outside the law not for profit, but for pillage. These trusts are actively demonstrating themselves to be- the worst foes that the real business interests of the land have to face. They are enemies to honest labor and honest capital alike. And they are as dangerous in politics as in industry and commerce. In self-defense the American people must suppress them. Laws In the statute books must be enforced, which now they are not, and others enacted to meet the needs revealed by experience. We are being Morganeered into hard times. The way to safeguard the future is to treat Morganeering as the crime against the community’s welfare that it Is.—Chicago Examiner.

A Tax on Coal Again. Under the stress of the coal strike Congress repealed the duty on anthracite coal and refunded the tariff duty of 07 cents a ton on bituminous coal for one year. That period having expired, the"cfuty is again being collected. .To recoup the losses occasioned by the strike, the coal trust and the combines that control soft coal have advanced the price of coal considerably beyond what It was before the strike. If Congress takes no action some parts of the country may again feel the heavy hand of the monopolists and the price of coal again advanced. The Republican leaders have decided that no bill touching the tariff must be considered. A record vote ou any tariff reform bill would be disastrous to the political future of a good many Republican statesmen, for many candidates for Congress promised that those tariff duties that fostered the trusts should be repealed. What excuse they will make next fall when asking for a reelection for not reforming those tariff schedules that protect the trusts remains to be seen. The present high trust prices will not make the voters take a lenient view of this do-nothing policy. • How to kill industry: Vote the Democrats into power.—Moravian Falls (N. C.)
