We was gaunt, shabby looking man,
about forty-eight years of age. His hair
was long and full of chips and feathers
denoting that he had reposed on the
previous night either in a hen-coop or a
sawmil. His hat he carried in his hand
to keep it from wearing out; he had no
heels on his boots, and his coat was but
toned up to the top of his head to keep
the world in ignorance of the melancholy
fact that his earthly possessions didn't in
clude sue thing as dress shirt. He
wore no suspenders, but intrusted the
proper attitude of his trowsers to the
omnipotence of a dogchain, which was
wound around his waist several times
and tied in hard knot.
He sauntered into the restaurant with
dolce far niente swagger, approached
the proprietor who was manipulating the
ingoing shekels and said:
Suppose an old, discrepit individu |
should come in and say he was hungry
and wanted something to eat what would

"Kick him out!" responded the CASH

coffee, which only costs you cent"
"No, SIR"
Suppose sick woman should come in
and ask you for glass of water, would
you give it to herT'
"No, sir"
'1f you owned big store, and one of
the clerks lost his wife, would you let
him off to take in the obsequies."
'No, sir; not much"
eff you were under sentence of DEATH"
continued the shabby man, "and could
get clear for two cents, would you pay
the money or hangw
"Get away from here" shouted the
restaurateur savagely, "or I'll kick you
inside out"
The man moved off step or two and
said:
81 have just walked two hundred miles
without sleep or food"
"You can't get anything here"
"Can't even have a crust from the
kitchenT'
"No, you can't; get out!'
"All right" said the apparent tramp,
pulling roll of bills out of his pocket,

Pm going across the way, put on my

position hish-house to invest in FIVE

A careworn immobility rested on the
countenance Of the restaurateur as the
man in the apochryphal clothes mean
dered.

There was much applause at his harm

of what threatened at one stage to lead t.

Jack Newbiggin was not satisfied.

the Baronet, with an effort to appear
humorous.
"That other half was given to, shall
say, Sir LewisF'
Sir Lewis nodded indiferently.

an Irish nurse, six years ago. 1t was the

swear | have no peace since Twas tempted
so sorely, and so weakly fell. But am
prepared to make all the restitution and
reparation in my power, unless, unhap-
PLY, it be already too late"
Even while he was speaking his face
turned ghasily pale, his lips were covered
with fine white foam, he made one or
two convulsive attempts to steady him
self, then with a wild, terrified look
around, he fell heavily to the floor.
1t was a paralytic seizure. They took
him upstairs aud tended him; but the
case was desperate from the first. Only
just before the end did he so far recover
the power of speech as to be able to make
full confession of what had occurred.
Sir Louis was younger son. The eld-
est inherited the family title, but died
early, leaving his widow to give him
posthumous heir, the title remaining in
allegiance until time showed whether the
infant was boy or girl. 1t proved to
be boy, whereupon Louis Mallaby, who
had the earliest intimation of the fact,
put into execution nefarious project
which he had carefully concocted in ad-
vance.
A girl was obtained from a founding
Ho7tiltti dhN olDolitulCu ny lOulo Dldlld-
by's nurse who was in Louis's pay, for
newly-born son and heir. This son and
heir was handed over to another accom-
pIice, Hester Gorrigan, who was bribed
with E1Q0, half down in the shape of
half note, the other half to I've paid when
she announced her safe arrival in Texas
with her stolen child. Mrs Gorrigan had
an unquenchable thirst, and in her transit
between London and Liverpool, allowed
her precious charge to slip out of her
hands, with the consequences which we
know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir
Louis Mallaby which first aroused Jacks
suspicious. 1t bore the strange crest
two hammers crossed, with the motto, II
strike"-which was marked upon the
linen of the child that Dan Blockit
picked up at Kirklington station. The
initial of the name Mallaby coincided
with the monogram, Fl. L. M. Jack
rapidly drew his conclusions and made
a bold shot, which hit the mark, as we
have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon rein
stated the rightful heir, and Dan Blockit
in after years had no reason to regret the
generosity which had prompted him to
give the little loundling the shelter of
his rude home.

A BOGUS LOVE LETTER

III T WONDER if shall look like Miss
/ Hannah when l attain her ad-
vanced age," said Gertrude Lorrimer,
drumming idly on the window-pane
with her slender, white fingers, and
watching the drizzling rain.
"Of course not, Gertrude. How foolish
of you to ask such a question Miss
Hannah never could have been beauty,
even in her palmiest days; and you are
acknowledged to be the handsomest girl
in Bayville.
You are always ready with some
morsel of flattery, Nettie," laughed
Gertrude "and / assure you l appre-
ciate your kindness. Still, am not
sure that shall not be as plain as Miss
Hannah one of these days. Didn't

belle in Bayville ?"
cit must have been nearly century
ago." cried Nettie Morris, with scorn-
full laugh. " But what set you talking
of Miss Hannah ?n
81 saw her go by the window with
her charity basket replied Gertrude.
There was silence in the room for
few minutes, and then sudden excla-
nation from Gertrude caused Nettie to
look up quickly from the crocheting
over which she had been busy all the
morning.
"What is the matter ?" she asked.
"Come here quick ,Nettie. DR.. Ashley
is coming out to get into his buggy"
Nettie sprang up, and stood by her
cousin; and both received bow from
the tall, handsome doctor who had just
closed the door of his elegant house be-
hind him, and run lightly down the
step to where his buggy stood, the SER
want standing at the horses head.
But, as DR.. Ashley had one foot on
the step of his buggy, hand fell on his
arm; and, turning, he saw the small
person of Miss Hannah Graves, attired
in rusty waterproof cloak, rubber
overshoes, and a plain bonnet; while
on. one arm hung the "charity bas-
ket.n
Your face is full of trouble, Miss
Graves" said the doctor, politely hold
ing his umbrella over the little woman,

CONFINEMENT.

'Tis not to sit and idly wait
With folded hands for tardy Fate
To bring the gifts that one might prize,
And cast before his sleepy eyes
To wait the coming of the ship
Whose sides unto the stern waves dip,
That bears, with love and glee and song,
The treasures we have craved so long.
It is to do whate'er we find
To SOW the seed to reap or binds
To gather, though the yield be small,
With our hand the bright sheaves all
To search and find the golden mean,
And hold 1t with a hand serene.

A Bad officer.

A general charge of oppression and
misconduct in Office has been brought
against Charles w. Francis, health officer
at St. Louis, through an Indictment by the
grand jury. The counts against him
charge that on the 25th of July he was Sc
drunk that he endangered the safety and
lives of the people who we're at ouaran-
tine. He also hampered and molested the
officers Of the steamer G. P. Chouteau and
the passengers on board, by commanding
his assistants to load a cannon with DOW
der and bomb, and causing the gun to be
hred at the boat, well knowing that the
vessel had not been in a yellow fever dis
trict' and that she was returning from a
short pleasure trip. He also ordered the
boat to be detained, the passengers landed
and held back in quarantine. He made
false statements in declaring positively
before the grand jury and other people
that there were five clearly developed cases
OF yellow fever in the hospital, thereby
seeking to deter the grand jury from an
examination, and to conceal the true con-
dltion of the quarantine institution. He
made his statement in noisy and unbe-
coming language, which was calculated to
excite anger and disturb the peace. The
statement of the five fever cases was
false and the jury believe it must necessa-
rlly be injurious to st. Louis and its citi-
zens. He also refused to permit the grand
jury to inspect the buildings and adjacent
lots and he threatened to imprison the
members of it. If Health Commissioner
Francis is half as bad as the jury say he
is, he is a rough official, even to illustrate
the beauties of the quarantine system.
