WILL the afternoon personal organ bang the banner on the outfr wall? 1 t-W:

Will someone kindly suggest to Mr. Webb that his attempt to imitate Depew is a most dismal failure.

Tu* finance committed of the cooncit last night recommended an investigation of the books of ex-City Treasurer Fitz patrick. Such a step is absolutely necessary in order to determine the extent of Fitzpatrick's defalcation. Expert accountants will be employed. But the resolu tlon of the committee is not sufficiently broad. There has been negligent con duct of business in the city clerk's and treasurer's offices, it would seem. Let the investigation go further than ascer taiuing the amount of shortage. A bet tor system should be put into service than has characterised both offices. In the general overhauling the clerk's office should come in for its share.

Grand Mastkk Hauobnt, in his interview with Vice President Webb disclosed the character of the two men. Mr. Sargent remained silent and listened to the fulsome compliments that the railroad manager paid the order. But Mr. Sargent was not to be wheedled into any expression by such vapid tactics. Flattery was not one of the factors of the situs tion and Mr. Sargent is far too experienced to b* taken in by such transparent strategy, Vice President Webb discloses his lack of judgment by constantly ap pearing in the newspapers in interviews and as a card writer. He has blundered with his tongue. In his rash endeavor to imitate the great and only Chauocey he has made a deplorable failure. He should learn a tow points in generalship from Mr. Sargent.

Dkmochacy in Term Haute is without an orgatgj When Tkk News' evening contemporary pulHTphed an editorial declaring that it was "Khe personal organ of its owners and proprietors and of nobody elso" it read itself out of the party. Since that time it has been training in with the politicians in the hopes of again confldencing the party out of official patronage, it is a fact that the personal organ refuses to publish the Democratic ticket in in columns. The morn ing Republican organ has its ticket at the head of its editorial columns, but the evening personal organ refuses to print the ticket. Is it because it repudiates the ticket? Is it for the reason that it is a personal and not a party organ? Or, rather* is not the secret that it is cowardice which withholds the flaunting of the Democratic banner?

HERE AND THERE.

Xt was a bad night, but one of onr promising young men had a date with a charming country lass and his heart bade him to face the elements, that he might pass a few delicious hours in her company. Accordingly, he harnessed his fath- ,, er's spirited filly to his father's newly washed rig and pushed out into the driving storm, fully determined that night to embrace the divinity of his soul at all hsxards, Hi# buggy rolled swiftly away over the graveled street* to the north and the electric lights at corners illumined a face half hid within the Yclnolo—a face a little pale, 3^- perhaps, but on whkh was written the p:- determination mentioned. To be brief, the young man t\ach*d his signorina's home betimes *nd there dre&med away the hanny moments until midnight, tt •v was stilt raining when he emerged from the dim light of that country parlor and a soft halo of his sweetheart's smile, and as the door closed between him and that irresistahle Ktyelnm there crept into \v his being a gloom ti deep and ^oppressive as the black night itself. Wearily he untied the testtaes fill? from the hitching po«4 in front of the house where the poor animal hud sl 4 through the drerching downpoor, ami Janeuidly climbing the buggy wbei I the horse about *n»!i vanished in the direction of the city,]

The young man)* Isttyjrsa scarlet.He simply muttered yes. ^,|s' There are two ladies in Terra Haute whose first names are identical simply, Anna. One of these is married, the other stall free from Hymen's bonds but having a young gentleman friend who is not much admired by her family. The husband of the martied Amuu happens to be of an intense! jealous disposition and this lead to a family spot recently which resulted in a separation of at least 43 hours duration. It appears that the "single" Anna had received a tender and effusive epistle from her proscribed Louie couched in language something amilar to the following:

The latest occupation open to women is that of lamp carer.r I don't know if that's what the ladies who take care of lamps call themselves, but that's what they really are. There are two in the city now, or there Will be two during the winter. Thev are "reduced gentlewomen," and each morning they visit a nnmlier pf houses and clean, fill and "fix" tho various fine lamps set before them. Tho average servant can do nothing with a lamp but spoil it but these ladies don their aprons and rubber gloves, clean the outside and inside of the amps, see that the wicks are in good order, fill the lamps and leave them so that even the stupidest servant cannot prevent them from burning well.

They have studied lamps, know the right kinds and sixes of wicks, know whether colza oil is needed in one kind of lamps and "starlight" in another, and altogether they take away from the owners a great deal of the care which the xmmagement of the rediscovered and much multiplied lamps brings upon them.—Chatter.

Lovingly, as erer. Loc la.

It may be unnecessary to explain that this sweet little billet daux was left by mistake and by the lady for whom it was intended at the residence of the ladv for whom it was in no way intended and was found by the husband of the latter when he returned home from his daily toil. He swore he fumed and tore his hair and expressed himself as ready to tear out the hair from the head of his devoted wife to whose explanation he would not give ear. It all ended in his putting on his hat and cost, banging the outer door and leavin his wife with the assertion that the wor bad lost its charms for him and be was ready to die. He went, but he did not suicide. Ob, no. He simply took train, went to Indianapolis and remained just long enough to realize that his wife was a first-class cook and that possibly he might have made a most collossal fool of himself. At all events he came home and sneaked into the house. His wife received him smilingly and vouchsafed him the explanation he no way deserved. He cried, and it is presumed will never again jump at- conclusions.

Mints to Flwhermen.

The most symmetricol pole doesn't always catch the most fish. Always fish in muddy water. Turtles and small "catties" are sure to bite at such a time.

When fly fishing carry in your hat no less than one dozen flies. This is always »n indicagon of being an experienced angler.

Never nso a net when using a fly pole. When a bass is hooked attempt to haul him out as though -he were a small sunfish. If you nse a net you might possibly catch Mm and destroy the tale of "the big one yon hooked, but which escaped."

Fish with a pole a» thick as a man's arm, use a mason's cord, the largest hook manufactured and tie a ten pound weight to the end of the line. The weight makes a big "splash" when cast into the water and may attract the attention of the bass.

jrir -good fishing always select a "slough" away from the creek, and anchor your lino firmly. Fish might bite at the bait and destroy it if it were submerged in the Brandywine.

CHAPTER

Wo sat there in silence for fully a minute, and during that time I remembered Horace's manner on the previous evening, bis reluctance when he said he had left the book at home, and that Cynthia had advised him to do so. While I thought thus, a feeling of intense pity Hooded my heart as I realized what my poors proud, honorable Cynthia must have endured before such a course became possible to her—even to save her brother from exposure and shame. I found it impossible for a moment to look at her. I knew what she must be suffering, and I would not willingly add to her distress by one glance in her direction.

Then at last, after what seemed an eternity of silence, she spoke, and, if I hud been startled at the change in my own voice, I was shocked at the change in hers. "I won't waste any more of your time," she said. "1 have done what I came to do, and I'll go. One thing first, though— I should like you to know that if anything in this world could have increased my pain and humiliation iti this matter it would have been the sight of your suffering under the discovery of my infamy. Good-by!"

She was moving towards the door, and I was rising with the intention of stopping her, when we were both checked by a knock at the room door and the entrance of tho clerk again, this time with a card,

I recognized the name at once—it was the detective from the bank! At all costs he must not see Cynthia! I was unnerved and almost incapable of clear argument, bdt I saw that much. "In ten minutes," I said to the clerk, with a glance at the timepiece.

The moment the door was closed again I turned to Cynthia. "You must not stop to ask questions nor make objections," I said, "but do as I Jell you. There is no way out of this room except through the outer office, whero this person is waiting, and I don't wish him to see you—never mmd why. You must go into this large cupboard, which Mrs. Richards has liad fixed up as a wardrobe for me, and remain there quietly until my interview with this man is over. See—I'll move the coats, and then there will bo room for a chair. Do you think you can keep quiet?"

She nodded in acquiescence. I saw a new fear in her face, and fancied she had guessed who my visitor was. Without another word I mixed a half tumbler of strong brandy and water, and told her authoritatively to drink it up then I kissed her forehead and closed the door without latching it.

I tried hard to recover something of my every day manner before the detective came in, but failed utterly. The moment Mr. Benson's keen glance fell upon me, I knew ho saw the traces of my recent disturbance, so I made a virtue of necessity at once. "Good morning," I said. "Softy to have kept you waiting gentlemen of your calling are always busy, I know. The fact is, I li&ve received some news this mcrning which has upset me thoroughly, and I've been trying to pull my self together a bit before seeing you, but I'm afraid I have failed. Pm not in a fit state to discuss this business." "I shan't troublo you much, Mr. Quinton," he answered quietly "I only want a few scraps of information which you can give me. To begin with" "Sit down," I said, "and help yourself to the brandy."

He thanked me and took the proffered chair, but be refused the drink. "I want to keep my heed cool, you see, and pick up this trail while it is still fresh. To begin with, when didyoufirst discover that this cheque, No. 9,031, was missing?"

He took the cheque from his pocketbook and smoothed it outoo the table a* he spoke.

I looked at it eagerly, and caw that it was drawn in favor of Mr. Pettie-Jones for forty pounds. Forty pounds! Tho exact sum, neither more nor less, of Horace's present debts! Poor Cynthia! **1 found it was missing kist night* "And have you any impression of your own as to when it was abstracted?"

I was just going to prevaricate, when 1 suddenly remembered that Leveas knew Horace had had the cheque book hi h&s possession the whole of the night before last If Benson did not get the information be wanted from me, his first proceeding would be to "pump* and "ferret* cautiously among the clerks, and Levins would be only too glad to tell him all he knew.

A FASCINATING ROMANCE OF A LONDON SUBURB.

1 seized Cynthia's hand and stopped her nervous attempts to set my throat tree, with impatience at my own weakness. "Pm ail right!" I said and then stopped to wonder if it was really I who had spoken, or some one else, for I did not recognize my own voice. "You really must sit down," I urged, pushing her towards a chair, which she no longer refused, for she saw I was sliaking like a man with the palsy.

9031.

"l aon tseo that there could be any harm In that," he said, in atone that was impressively cautious. "Harm! I should think not! How could there beany barm in your letting me know before any ono else? Would you take fifty pounds, and oblige me?'.

Benson looked at me for a few mo-" ments as though he would read my very soul, and I met his glance unflinchingly. "I believe you mean square," he said, at the end of bis scrutiny "and, if you'll pass me your word as a gentleman that this is no trick to catchy me tripping, why, Pll oblige you."

I held out my hand to him. "I give you my word that this is a purely personal matter, only interesting to myself," I said, with quiet emphasis and saw he believed me.

After I bad given him a few, facts in connection with the matter in hand— carefully withholding all th&e likely to be of any value in the event of his refusing the oiler I was going to make presently—I brought the conversation back again to what was really my main purpose, by asking what was tho biggest price he had ever received for carrying a job of this kind through to a successful finwk «.y% "This class of jol doesn't pay so well as some others," he told me. "We don't look to make muoh out of a forgery business. Our best chances come in when we've got family hatreds to work on. Now two years ago I had what threatened to be a divorce court job on. I lived in a house in the country for three months for the purpose 4 watching the mistress of it. The husband's mother hated her like mad, and I really believe would have given one of her fingers if we could have pulled the business off. Well, she came to me when I had been in tho house a week—-tho mother, you know—a powerful old swell she was, but as cruel as a cat—and offered to pay me five hundred pounds if the case against her daughter-in-law was proved through me. That was the biggest chance I've ever had and Mr. Benson sighed resignedly. "You did not 'pull the^bjisin^Loff,' then?" "Bless you, no, sir! The woman was as innocent of any real harm as a babe unborn. A flighty, skittish piece of goods, but as honest a woman as you could wish to meet. The appearances against her turned out all moonshine, as I knew they would. Her husband got ashamed of having listened to his mother's nasty insinuations, and begged his wife's pardon most humbly in my presence and they're as happy a couple now as you'll find anywhere. But it was a big chance, you know—five hundred pounds!"

Here was my opportunity, and I seized it, dropping my voice to the faintest whisper. "You shall have the chance again, Benson but this time you can earn it more easily—by simply holding your tongue." "Five hundred pounds!" he exclaimed, in a clear, penetrating whisper, which was torture to me, knowing how keen those poor listening ears would be. "Five hundred pounds only for holding my tongue! About this, Of course, you meanf'—with his gloved finger on the cheque. "You must undertake not to try to find out even yourself," I murmured, nodding in assent "and you must play with the bank people until it is too late to put any one else on the job." "Is that all?" he asked. "There are no other conditions whatever attached to earning this money? You won't ask me to do half a dozen other tricks and include them in the same bill by and by?" "I will ask you todo nothing but what I have now stated." "Then Pm your man!" he said rcso-" lutely and this time it was ho who offered his hand and I who grasped it. with a relief and gratitude in my heart far beyond the power of words to express.

After this I got rid of him as quickly as I could, dreading the effect of this enforced silence on poor Cynthia in her present nervous state. I bustled through the arrangements for paying the money, at the same timo being careful to avoid arousing his suspicion, and hurried him off under the pretense of having another appointment.

a sudden thought had occurred to him, and pledged me to secrecy as a brother Mason, I answered bis sign at onc» and I fancy we both separated all the more satisfied with each other for the discovery that we were fellow craftsg*ym "Don't inforrapt me for a quarter of an boor, Lerens,** I called eat, as I shut the door and went back to Cynthia.

I found her so prostrated that she was unable to rise from the chair but she looked at me with such pathetic earnestness and she tried so hard to speak that I felt sore sho bad beard the greater part ot my interview with the detective. It was most grtevoos, but there had been no help for it.

My heart ached for her, as I mere than fcalf carried her fio the eaay chair again, and took off her bonnet end cloak as quickly as my foolish, clarcay finger* would let me, stripped off her gloves and ondid the dross bottons at her throat. "tfant try to speak a word,*" isaid sharply, whm her lip* began to more again "sit still and reet Bent worry now! Twit be better prasentijr.'*

Cynthia, my dear" I eritd heart brokenly. "Kind old Gerald," she said presently, putting up her finger and touching my cheek gently "good, kind old Gerald!"

I smiled at her, though I felt more like weeping. "What are ^your two charming little women doing without you this morning?" I asked, anxious to ease the painful strain on her nerves by a change of subject "You forget it is holiday time. We do not begin lessons again until Monday." "You will never begin lessons again, Cynthia," I answered quietly, but very decisively. "I gavo in to your whim last September, and you see what has come of it. This time I mean to have my own way, and nothing you can say or do will induce mo to make tho least alteration in my plans. I am going to marry you this day week and carry you off to Italy for along honeymoon of three months. We'll dispense for once with wedding breakfast, trousseau and all tho rest of the usual absurdities, and do just as we like, without any referenco to the .opinions of our acquain tances." "You mustn't doit, Gerald," she cried, trying to withdraw herself from my embrace—"you must not even think of such a thing! Have you considered what it would moan for yourself? This shameful crime of mine cannot be kept secret —it will leak out some day, try as wo will to keep it quiet and how would you feel when you found people spoke of your wife behind your back as a thief and a forger? You don't seem to have realized the enormity of my crime! You don't appear to understand that what I have told you this morning places me outside the pale of respectable society! You don't seem to see" stopped her peremptorily. "I see a woman who has been" tried— ah, so sorely tried, my Cynthia!—beyond her strength. see a woman whose warm affection has for once overcome her power of judging between right and wrong—whose great love has, in on-' solitary instance, warped her moral judgment but I see no criminal, nor a sinner who has sinned beyond forgiveness I see the woman I lovo just as I have always loved her, as I always must lovo her, until heaven sees fit to divide us by death! Cynthia, wo will be married this day week, and wo will go, away for a time and b© very, very happy—eo happy, my loyo, that wo will forget all about this wave of sorrow that lias swept over us."

She did not attempt to arguo the matter any farther—indeed, if I looked at all as I felt, she must have seen how useless all argument would liavo been in my then state of mind, for I was firmly ro* solved that Horace should no longer have it in his power to cause, or even threaten to cause, unhappiness between us. "I shall tell tho mother and Jem tonight," 1 said, when I had put her into tho cab and given the man the address. "They will como to see you to-morrow, I expect and you must arrange with them abouta dress for next Wednesday*"

Sho did not answer, but looked at me with a world of meaning in her sad eyes as tho cab drove awav.

"Warm?" be said, putting on a heavy pair of gloves and buttoning his light overcoat, "you don't call this warm weather, do you?" "Do I call it warm?" said the other, mopping his brow and trying to fan himself at the same time, while his face grew redder and redder. "I call it gridiron beat." "Pooh, poo&f my dear fellow the mercury isn't above ninety-two." "Nlnety-twof "And it hasn't been above a hundred more than once this year."
