CHAPTER Y.

Eugene Allerton !" $50 the letter ran.
''as a friend to you, and as a womgn who
by silence has been guilty Of aiding in
most infamous wrong, partly because | am
desirous Of making all due reparation which
lies in my power, and partly because |
would be avenged for woman's scorn,
have | followed your enemies, found out
your whereabouts, and endeavored to reach
you. When | tell you that, not only do
you gain freedom by cooperating with me
in this endeavor at your escape. but that
YOU will be placed face to face with the wo-
man who has so wronged you, | know that
you will be earnest in your efforts at a sue
cessful esca pc. | will, at the very mid
night hour, be beneath your window, and
the means to enable your escape will be
sent to you. Trust in me and be wary.
O. E."
That was all but the tenor Of the let
ter was sufficient to show that whoever this
new and unlocked for friend was she was
not without an ulterIor object in view.
Eugene Alierton was not 10th to accept the
aid. however, for he knew that he was pow
erless where he was while i'll this woman's
hands, whoever she might be, he stood a
chance to be enabled to regain his liberty,
even were this some new plot to rob him
of his freedom.
''It is but venture" he reasoned, ''and
| cannot be in worse hands than | am at
the present time" And 50, accepting the
issue forced upon him by circumstances for
which he was for the time being unable to
account. he resolved to be ready for his
unknown aid when the midnight hour pro-
claimed the entire rest of all within the
asylum of the villainous Doctor Arnold
Slowly went the time by, the occasional
closing Of gate or a door causing the re-
verberating and still echoes to ring until
finally it was apparent to Eugene Allerton
that the time in the anonymous commune
cation approached-w near at hand. He
peered from the window, but it was so dark
without that he was forced to give up any
idea of discovering remote objects, when
he saw ladder being raised from the side
Of the building. A few moments later,
and form, loosely attired in the attire of
a female, assembled the ladder with aero
batic agility, and as no sonnd or word
broke the stiffness of the house, he saw a
hand draw tle across the iron bars A
few moments ready work, and then he saw

AS the woman descended round or two
upon the ladder, he endeavored to get
through the window. Elated at his success,
he had gained the ladder, descended to the
ground, and was following his companion,
when loud noise at the outer gate was
heard, and the asylum bell rang out upon
the still midnight air. 1t was, evidently,
some late visitor, but it was a most untow.
ard event for the fugitive, and for his com
panion, for he saw that the different ser
wants and keepers were around, and he wa
drawn by his silent companion into thu
shadow Of some bushes in the garden.
The gate was opened, and Eugene Aller
ton heard every word Of the conversation
''Who is it1"
"A messenger" was the reply.

CHICAGO DETROIT AND CINCINNATI SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1874

From the station with message for
the Doctor"
what is itl'
1T is a telegram from the next station,
sent in haste to the Doctor, from the friend
of one of the patients He wishes the
Doctor to guard strictly over Eugene Aller-
ton, who has been placed here by HIM.
He states that some woman is endeavOring
to aid him in escaping, as she has found
out his whereabouts
''All right, and as the gate was closed,
the porter went To the Doctor with the
message.
Follow me, whispered the woman as
her companion arose to his feet from the
crouching posture which had been mann
tanned by both during the brief interview
at the gate, between the messenger and
the porter as to himself Come.
He followed her to a part Of the wall
where it was lower than anywhere else,
and the pair we're soon out upon the public
highways fastening from the asylum.
Until Eugene Alerton and his compan-
ion had gained the forest some niles dis
tant from asylum, no word was spoken by
either Of the two. IS they came to a rest
near an old stump of tree, the late
prisoner under the strict charge Of the
villanious Doctor Arnold took long look
at his companion.
lyon are a mystery to me, he said.
You come as a friend but have as yet
offered no word Of explanation.
Are you not willing to accept the aid |
have extended to you, and With no further
questionmgs allow me to proceed upon my
way-you upon yours Z!
''No. There Is a motive in every human
action have never seen you before,
Therefore You could not have acted as you
have in friendship. What was your mo
tive y
The woman hesitated AS she earnestly
glanced at the face of her companion.

"But your letter is as utterly mcompre-
hensble as yourself.

A wild start caused the woman to regard

affair, querred he, controlling a. well as
he might the emotions within him
"Yes.'
Then, tell me all. -
And Cyrille Eytiug the former servant
at the Acton; Hotel told to Eugene Allerton
all she knew If the affair which was so
but which it seemed promised
to soon eliminate III the overthrow of
Beatrice Vernon.
When they parted il was for the one TO
proceed t. Myrtle Villa, and for the other
to 60 to her home with promise to be
ready for any service which the further
development Of the case might necessitate.
And SO the plot was becoming more and
more complicated.

THE Duty OF THE PEOPLE AND THE
PREss.-The New York Tribune of the
23d, in an article on 'The Press and Poll
tics, very truly says
''In a government like ours no citizen
may lay off his responsibility least of all
may they who are most disposed to and
who by the very aversion they feel for such
duties are best Tilted to perform them. II
politics and politicians are corrupt and bad,
SO much the more need for sincere and
honest gentlemen to take an interest in
public affairs and help deliver the country.
And so much the more need, too, that the
press Of the country portray the situation
faithfully, and awaken public reprobation
for bad administration, corrupt parties and
dishonest rulers"

The Consumption of Iron.

With the increased facilities for produc-
tion, the increase of consumption have
been energetic and rapid. For long time
England was the iron producing country in
1893, making total production Of ia, ,S79
tons, or onehalf Of all that was produced
in the world. Thenumberof its ercapita in
1882 reached 40 against 10 lbs, in 174O
The following table exhibits the progress
England has made in the production.

far as we have the statistics is AS follows

Thus it will be seen that the United
States is Just a. the heels Of Great Britain
in the production Of iron, and before the
close of the present decade, will be in al
vance of that kingdom
The production Of the whole world is
estimated at about sixteen million tons of
which Great Britain furnishes nearly one
half the United States about one-third.
and the balance distributed throughout
other countries.
But as England coal pits are giving out,
and as labor is poorly rewarded in her
mines, she must, before 1890, submit to be-
ing the second in the order Of production.
The consumption of iron in pounds per
capita in Great Britain is about (allowmg
her to use all she makes) 375 pounds. m
the United States (allowing that we use
ali we make) 275 pounds per capita.

tracks equals about 81, 900 miles. avera-

more beneicent, or worthy Of your distinguish
ed place as a master of workers has come be-
fore me for many a year. Would to Heaven
all or many Of the captains of industry in Eng
land had a soul in them such as yours, and
could do as you have done, or could still fur
Their cooperate with you in works and plans to
the like effect! The look of England is to me
at this moment abundantly ominous, the ques-
ton of capital and labOur growing ever more
anarchical, insoluble by the notions hitherto
applied to it, pretty certain to issue in Petro-
leum one day, unless some other gospel than
that of the Dismal Science come to illuminate
it. Two things are pretty sure to me. The
first is that capital and labOur never can or
will agree together till they both first of all
decide on doing their work faithfully through
out, and like men Of conscience and honour,
whose highest aim is to behave like faithful
citizens of this universe, and obey the eternal
commandment of Almighty God who made
them. The second thing is that a sadder OBJ
iect even than that Of the coal strike, or any
conceivable strike, is the fact that, loosely
speaking, we may say all England has decided
that the proftablest way is to do its work i'll,
SHINY, swiftly, and mendaci0usly. What a
contrast between now and say only one hundred
wears ago At the latter date, or still more
conspicuouSly for ages before it, all England
awoke to its work with an invocation to the
Eternal Maker to bless them in their days
labour, and help them to do it well. Now all
England, shopkeepers, workmen, all manner of
competing labourtrs awaken as if it were an

'Oh help us, thou great Lord of shoddy, adul-
teration, and malfea8ance, TO do our work with

mendacity, for the Devils sake. Amen"

A good story with a good moral is mover Gmiss

occasionally called at his house for a supply OF
milk. One morning he came when tae family
we're we're at breakfast. The good wife rose TO wait
upon him, but the deacon said, 'Nait til after

of deep thought until the man had gone some rods,

distant town for the purpose of preaching the dedi-
icatory sermon in the new church. Court was in
session, and on Saturday evening the Judge
and lawyers congregated together in a room,
and amused themselves by card-playing and sto-
ry-telling. The divine, at the request of a lawyer,
visited the room. Coming upon the group so sud-
denly they were unable to hide their cards and

raising his hat, invited the gentlemen present to
attend church the next day and hear him preach.
This they agreed to do, and Sunday found Judge
and lawyers seated in the "Amen corner" The
sermon over, the minister announced:
Friends, the citizens of this town have built a
fine church there is still fifteen hundred dollars
due. We propose to raise money by subscrip-
