CHAPTER II.

"Modpration is tn" sk'n strin running
Through the pearl chain OF all virtues"
IT is a dull dark day one of Natures
most barren efforts The rain is falling
in sullen drops. and the wind is mn,tn-
ing heavily. Above. in the clnud-la In
sky, the soand Of distant storms, in
"holow murmurs d. rs away"
a fresh and angry burst Of rain is
daShing itself against the draWipg-
room WindoW-paaGs of Brand llousc as
the servant opens the door and an
nounces Mr.. Darlington"
II is not the Old Burlington who is
nshered in, but the Young man, his
ouIv son. OF the old Burlington it
will be sufficient to say that he is "a
mau OF an unbounded stomach" (giv-
ing that sentence its most simple
meanng) and very handsome face.
Indeed, the B4rrngtons for generations
have been so famel for their beauty
that it WAS considered remarkable
when the young man of the present
time grew up without even one presen-
table feature. 1t earned him the sobri-
quet Of ugly Darlington" though
there are certainly many men more
worthy of the adjective than he.
Yet now, as he enters the room and
one looks at him, it must be acknowl-
edged he is an ugly man. But with
such calm earneStneSs of purpose in
his eyes, and with mouth SO charac-
terized by certain firm sweetness, as
serves, in great measure, to redeem
his face from actual plainness, and ele-
vate it into something beyond mere
beauty. To many this man is dear; by
a few he is well beloved. He is about
twenty-nins, and stands a shade less
than six feet in height.

NO. thank YOU says Mrs. Barring

enough to inquire where Mr. Barring

ask the question. Then The waiter goes
away, and she falls again to contem-

finally dreams away an hour gazing
into The glowing Ge; yet the absorp-
ton that had been hers during that
first twenty minutes does not return to
her again. Instinctivcly. though nerv-

with me-marry me to this man as
soon as the 5areSt decencv will permit,

There must, of co1"se. be some

vainly to conceal the exrllt ttion her
words have caused him. "But-"

CHICAGO, April 23.-Supt. White, of the
railway mail service, after several confer
ences with the officials of the Milwaukee
IL st. Paul road, has completed arrange
ments for the carrying of mails on the linn
tied express, which is to be placed on that
road May 2, running between Chicago and
Minneapolis. The train will leave at 7:3O
p. m. and arrive at its destination at S
o'clock the next morning. The extent to
which it will be utilized by the mail service
is explained thus:
Going west, the postal car leaving Chicago
on train No 1, at IL 80 Il. M, will be set out
at La Crosse, Wis, and taken up by the
limited and hauled to Minneapolis. The lin
tied will carry from ChicBgo to La Crosse in
its baggage car such mail for Minnesota and
Dakota Us accumulates here between the

oe transferred TO the postal car at La Crosse
and redistributed while in transit on the
limited from La Crosse 10 Minneapolis gain
ing seven hours. for st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, and twelve hours Tor points beyond.
Coming east the postal car leaY-
ing Minneapolis on train No. . at
p. m. will be set out at La Crosse and
be taken up by the limited and hauled to CHI
cGgo. The limited will carry in the baggage
car from Minneapolis and St. Paul SUCH
Eastern mail as may accumulate at the
points named between the hours of ! and ,
p. IN. This mail will be transferred TO the
postal car at La Crosse, and be distributed
between that point and Chicago while in
transit. Train No. = will bring through in
its baggage car Chicago mail and mail for
those lines with which the limited will not
connect. This mail will gain from six to
ten hours, depending on the section OF tn O
country 10 which ii is addressed.

SELF DESTRUCTION.
A Prominent knight of Pythias At
tempts His own Life

TERRELL. TEX. April 23.-The grand
lodge Knights of Pythias, has been in ses-
sion here since Wednesday morning. AT
9 o'clock yesterday morning, in a room
in Harris hotel, w. Alexander Abey the
retiring grand chancellor, of Texas, shot
himself with pistol, the ball entering his
breast just to the left of the heart. There
is much mystery surrounding the affair,
and it is uncertain whether the shooting
was accidental or suicidal. Abey is a
prominent lawyer of Long View, and has
occupied the highest offices in the Knights
of PythiaS order in Texas. Joseph r. Glenn
ans, who had just been elected grand master
of the eXchequer, was in the room at the
time of the shooting. Clemans and Obey
have been warm friends for many years
Clemans says that Obey met him yesterday
morning and asked whether he (Clemansl
could lend him good pistol, as his (Obeys)
was out of order. Clemans said his pistol
was in his valise at the hotel and together
they repaired to the room. While Clemens
was taking his revolver from his valise
Obey was sitting on the edge of the bed
Ciemans was suddenly startled by the re-
port of pistol, and, turning, saw Obey
gaSping on the bed, his weapon on the
floor. For several years Obey has had a
feud with P. S. Aren, county clerk of
Galveston county, prominent Knight of
Pythias, who is in attendance at the con-
vention. The theory is that Abey, in view
of the possibility of meeting Aren, desired
to be well armed, and that he was examin-
ing his own weapon when it was discharged.
The shooting occasions much excitement
ABBEY is very low and there is very little
chance of his recovery. Shortly after the
shooting he sent for Aren, but what passed
between them at the bedside is not known.
For number of years Abbey was editor of
the Long View Democrat, retiring recently.
There are many believers in the suicide
theory, but the motive for self-destruction
remains hidden.

AMERICA ASSOCI TION,

CINCINNATI, April 23.-The wretched
fielding of the Pittsburg team lost it the
game to-day. Miller. Carroll, Mann and
Kuehne all did poorly. The batting was
poor, even distributed, although the totals
of the home club are higher. Corthill made
the only error for the home team. Kelly's
umpiring was very unsatisfactory to both
teams and had considerable effect on the
score. Baldwin's catching and Whitney's
play at short are the features.

New YORK, April 2S.-About 1000
people witnessed the second game on Staten
Island, between the Metropolitan and

was batted all over the field. Kennedy
pitched in fine form, the Metropolitans
making but half dozen hits. ReipSchlager
caught badly. Foster was hit in the neck
when he went to the bat for the first time
and was forced to retire, Mclaughlin taking
his place.

New YORK, April 23.-The Baltimore

made off him. Smiths work at short was
marvellous.

1t was rumored yesterday that some of the
roads were cutting rates under the new
agreement, and taking freight at 80 cents.
On inquiry made at several OF the railroad
Offices brought out the declaration that such
was not toe fact, and also. by one railroad

Patsy Cardiff. Benefit.

The Theatre Comique, Minneapolis, was
crowded last night upon the occasion of a
benefit rendered Patsy Cardiff. In addition
to the vaudeville performance the Murphy
brothers, Girls and Jerry, John Donaldson
and Patsy Mellen gave clever set-tos.
Cardiffs meeting with the unknown proved
a disappointment. The unknown was a
tall. gawky individual named c. j. COtter
from Mankato, who had evinced desire to
meet the champion of the Northwest. Be-
fore half dozen passes had been made it
was evident he knew little about boxing.
Cardiff gave him two or three hard punches
and that settled him. When time for the
second round was called Cardiff humanely
declined to slug him any further, saying
that the fellow did not know how To defend
himself. and his decision was applauded.-
