ne could scarcely have overtaken her be-
fore she had released her lover.
/, But he was not; the fatigue of the
tar, where he had been till 50 late and
the oppression of a warm night, made
him a match for the Seven Sleepers.
Quickly letting her lover out Of the
clock, with all possible precaution. thew
unlocked the front door and passed out
into the cool night air, with gentle dew
falling and soft starlight overhead.
Then one brief interval Of love and
sorrow, OF passion and parting, and
Stanford was gone-away down the
pathway through the trees, lost to sigbt
IN minute, and with streaming ewes
and ready to bear any amount Of re-
proaches from her step-father. Cicelv
returned to the house, fastened the door
crept up the stairs, restored the KEY to
us place, this time noting the position Of
the creaking board by the faint bars of
light that came through the open door
Of her mothers room.
Along the several miles of road that
lay between the Mill Farm and Plymoth
her lover hurried while Cicely lay in her
bed and cried, because she could not 90
with him and share-she thought she
could have llghtened-the hardship and
poverty that might lie before him.
That afternoon the Zeno6ia, with
Stanford and many another fortune-seek-
er on board, rounded the Breakwater
and stood out at sea.

II.

More than two years had passed from
the time that has been told of, when on
a dull November afternoon, cab
with a lady in side it and many pack
ages and boxes packed on top, might
have been seen passing through the old
part OF the town of Plymouth, and stop
ping before low stone archway, where
an iron gate barred further progress.
A ponderous knocker in the form of a
black lyon was fastened to the gate, and
the. driver getting down laid hold on it
and struck changing double knock
that Weakened echoes all around.
A little girl in quaint costume ap-
peared, unlocked the gate, and the cab,
passed through into a courtyard, sur
rounded by two-storied buildings Of
dark red brick, having tiled roofs of the
same color and many all-paned, lat
ticed windows.
An oppressive airless-looking place
on a winter afternoon when the murky
air was laden with thick drilling rain,
and the sky seemed Sheeted with lead,
but safe and good home for the many
generations of helpless ones who had
been nourished and sheltered there

' ouia lol 50 Oul tndI way.
Mr. ButterWorth seemed tired and
worn out; something in the market had
annoyed him that day, and directly SUP
per was over he told Cicely to 90 and
see about her mother-he wanted to 90
to bed. Mrs. Butterworth. one of
whose troubles was loss of sleep, Law
bedrldden in a room, the door of which
opened into her husbands, and always
before ne caneup Cicely arran red things
tor her, leaving her jelly and lemonade
on the table close by, and placing the
lamp IN the night shade.
As she fingered lest anything more
might be wanted, she heard her STEP
fathers voice in the passage close by the
clock, telling the servants in the kitchen
to shut up the house, and then the tramp
OF the farm men going out to their sleep
ing places in the yard.
A succession of short, low banks told
that the maStiff was unclaimed, and as
she descended the stairs she saw Mr..
ButterWorth seated in the hall taking off
his heavy boots a maid brought him
slippers, and with them the key from the
back of the house. Once he was up
stairs large part Of Cicely's anxiety
would be over, for she could not forget
what might happen if George were only
to cough!
Nearly two hours afterwards, with the
light darkness of a summer night all
around, she stole softly from her room
and along the passage leading to Mr..
Butterworths door.
Her crisp ruStling cambria dress was
exchanged for one of a soft, dark WOOL
len stuff, while part of her face and her
bright, fair hair were covered with
dark hood.
Cautiously turning the door handle
and opening it just wide enough to place
her ear at it she listened; the heavy
breathing within gave her courage, and
she went softly forward.
Her goal was little table at the bed
side, on which, according to Mr.. But
terworth's invariable custom, lay the
house keys.
With a few stealthy steps she APP
preached when creak, creak, went
reacherous board that she knew of per-
fectly, but thought she was avoiding,
and then occurred the very thing she
most dreaded, a fearful call from her
mother to know who was there

THE MILL FARM.
G0ntz1,ued.)

Hdll pt'ei
The door of the oak parlor, where
supper was on the table, lay wide open,
and Cicely stood at it, as if waiting for
him to 60 in, and upon whether he did
this every thing depended.
Ifhe went up stairs he must see Stan
ford if he went down the passage, he
would stumble against him.
For one breathless moment he stood
still. rubbing his head and face with a
LARGE bandana handkerchief; then, as
was his custom always before going to
bed, but scarcely ever until then, he de-
Hberately locked the door, put the key
in his pocket, and turned into the oak
parlor, telling Cicely to ''get lights now,
and the ale. :"
Even as she answered him a flash of
the quick woman's wit, that has devised
50 many sudden escape, came to the
girl.
Down the dark passage behind, Just
where turn in the staircase gave great
er width, stood large old clock, be-
longing to the days when structures
such as it were found in all well-to-do
country houses, and when the size of
their ponderouS cases was a theme of ad-
miration. Among such the clock at the
Mill Farm surely held high place, and
this not alone for size, but for it's striking
qualities as well.
Far beyond the ordinary reach of a
clock, power it sounded loud and deep.
and for this, since Mrs. Butterworth had
been SO i'll, it had not been wound up.
In that old house with the partitions all

sleep of laboring man not to be awak-

slept but little, and that with difficulty,

In addition To the reasons given
last week for the removal Of the pres
ent postmaster, there are several
other reasons why he should be sus-
pended, and more manly man get
the place. The best reason Is, the
people don't want him. They never
desired his appointment. The pa
pers on file in the Post Office De-
partment will prove it. The inhu-
ence in point Of recommendations Of
Martinsburg people was three to one
against him. The papers can be
published to prove it. The wishes
Of our people now for his suspension,
upon vote, would show the same
ratio. 1t is pity for the man. He
has our sincere sympathy, but if he
consorts with lawbreakers, or rather,
attends the execution Of unlawful
acts, even to the taking of life, he
must bear the full force thereof.
Placing unaddressed political matter
in private boxes unsolicited, and re-
turning the Pioneer Press to its col
ored editor, marked refused, when
the subscriber says he didn't SO or
der, will give his place to a better
man, and most any man in Martins
burg, without regard to politics, col
or, or previous condition of servi-
tude, call I'll the bill. Tolliyer

OUTBREAK AT CLEVELAND.
InofIensive Workinsmen Assaulted by
Ugly Striker.


Ugly Striker.
CLEVELAND, July 29.-The quietule which
had settled in the Eighteenth ward was
suddenly broken by an attack upon two in
offensive laborers. Az seTly as o'clock
a gang OF strikers, armed with clubs, began
to assemble in the vicinity of the mills, and
by o'clock several hundred men were on
the ground, and conducted themselves in a
very excited manner.
There were no officers ON duty, and the
crowd thought they were masters of the
situation, ami several men who had been
employed in the yards Of the mill, cleaning
up and making repairs, were set upon by
the mob, and James May and another man
whose name could not be ascertained, were
badly beaten. Shortly after the assault
Sergeant Thompson arrived or the ground,
having jumped of train when he saw the
crowd Of strikers. He dispersed the men
unaided, and they scattered with loud NUT
terings that the mill would not resume oper-
ations until their demands were acceded
This assault fell like a peal of thunder from
a clear sky on the residents Of the ward, as
it was hoped by all that there would be no
further violence
Thomas Bezbek, leader Of the mob which
assaulted the Union Steel Screw works on
July Z, was found guilty OF riot in the po-
lice court.
