General Mike Ryan. in talking of the
Metropolitan Bank failure, recently told a
Cincinnati Telegram reporter a good story
Illustrating the power of bluff. 1t was Id

tie further aid from the other banks in the
city the Metropolitan might have been saved.
He said:

there, and the rival to that Of my brother
was in a shaky condition. The president
came to Matt and told him the .circuu-
stances, and that if there was run the;
bank would be unable to stand it. Matt told
him to keep stiff upper lip, for he knew
that the failure Of the other bank meant the
failure of his own. He Jumped on the train,
went to Kansas City, got 10000 in coin
gold and silver-in barrels, ran back to
Leavenworth with the specie, and got half
a dozen dravs to the depot to take the
barrels to the bank Meantime the
crowd of depositors had begun to gather
at the bank, demanding their money, and
the old man was talking TO them to gain;
time. All at once they saw the drays COM

Matt was with the treasure, and shouted to
the crowd to wait about five minutes and
they'd get their money, as it was there In
the barrels.
"In unloading the barrels, one OF them
dropped and broke, so that, through a.

CHAPTER VI.

her OWN SAD STORY.
On certain evening in the month
of March, Kate Denham was sitting in
the library of one of the least pretentious
houses, as to external appearance, on
Boylston Square. Its location, how
ever, and interior display of cultured
taste and of afiuence denoted the
house to be one of the best class OF
residences in the city. Afew struggling
rays from the gas-light on the opposite
side of the street dimly afforded the only
Illumination to the apartment that
would have been acceptable to Miss
Denhsm at that time; for, in an assi-
sade Of complete repose, she had been
sitting naotionless and alone in the
shadows of the heavy draperies of the
window since long before the last rays
of the setting sun had departed from
the room.
Her whole heart and soul were con-
centrated in her thoughts; for she had
reached that crisis in her life that
comes sooner or later to most women.
To her keeping, Arthur Beckweth had
offered his love, his honor, and his hap
piness-he had asked her to become his
wife. The promptings of her own

Pure Water as Medicine.

DR.. Brunten says, in the Practitioner, that
wateris, perhaps, the most powerful dluretlc
that we possess. 1t has the power OF N
creasing tissue change and thus multiply
ing the products of tissue waste which re-
suit from it, but it removes these waste
products as fast as they are formed, and
thus, by giving rise to increased appetite,
provides fresh putrimcnt for the tissues,
and acts as true tonic. In persons who
are accustomed to take too little water, the
products of tissue waste may be formed fast
er than they are removed, and thus accumu-
lating may give rise to disease. In the class
of people who arise in the morning feeling
weak and langlid, it seems that the languor
must depend upon imperfect removal OF
waste products from the body, as we know
that the secretion Of urine in healthy per-
sons is generally much less during the night

NEWS FROM THE WRECK. -
Beckweth was deeply touched at the
sad tenderness with which Miss Den
ham had acknowledged herself to be:
Hattie Harper. Unwrapping from a.
package the initial letters that he had
obtained at the junk-shop, together,
with several others just like them, he!
told her how he had casually noticed;
the first and what had led him to in-i
vestigate their origin. The others, he!
said, had been nailed to a beam in a:
fsh-house at Rockberg. He had seen:
them there from time to time ever:
since his boyhood. These last had been
the association in his mind that had
caused his perplexity at seeing their
mates at the door of Mr.. Fynn's shop.
They were known to have been taken
from piece of the wreck that came
ashore during the storm that brought
the little waif to Mrs. Harper.

DARING EXPLOIT.
A Texas Cowboy Rides !. Furious Bull in
Mexican Bull-Eing.

a
The bull-fghters at Paso del Norte were
recently enlivencd during the proceedings
by the daring exploit of a Texas cowboy,
says the Seymour (TeX.) Crescent, VINO was
cheered to the echo by the densely-packed
audience who filed every accessible NOOK
in the vast amphithcater. The performance
Jagged little, and the bulls would not
fight in spite Of al the p:cadores might do'
One or two If the bulls, after having been
successfully goaded and worried without
working them up to the proper hghtlng
point, had been ANONYMOUSLY driven out OF
the arena, and q new one, full OF hight and
fairly believing with rage, had just been
turned into the amphitheater, when Iexas
cowboy who was present announced, Tor the
honor and glory of Texas, that he would ride
the bull his legs tied around the anlmals
neck, his face to the tail, if they would first
throw the bull so that be could get his legs
properly around and underneath the beasts
neck.
He was at once taken at his word, and
the mounted Mexican bull-tighters soon had
the animal lossoed and thrown. The cow
bow then had himself fixed in the proper
position, and now the furious bull was
turned loose TO the wonder and astonlsh-
ment and intense delight of the audience,
the animal was unable TO shake the daring
cowboy off, who not only kept his perllous'
seat, but, after some wild pLunges, succeed
ed by some means in so manipulating tne
beasts horns that he was thrown. Ine:
Mexican performers rushed at once TO the
struggling mass and in twinkle hao 1ne'

heart told her that she, too, could con-
6de her own honor and life's happiness
implicitly in him; but yet she had re-
fused him. How hard it had been for her
to withstand his earnest pleading. Sh@
had tried to make him understand hox
deeply she lamented his having be-
slowed his love on her in vain-she
who could not bring herself to give him
the single reason that decided her
choice; and who had found it so diff
cult to hide from him the fact that her
own hearts desire would be fulfilled if
it were possible for her to be his wife.
In the quiet and darkness of the library
she was ever asking herself if she had
acted wisely and justly in thus making
both of them unhappy.
"Yes, I have done right" she
thought; 'tbut I can not let him go
from me without another effort to let
him know why, for the present at least,
I can not become his wife. If be will
but give me the opportunity, will
prove to him that it is for his own good
that I refuse him. He shall never
know, however, what it will cost me to
give up his love. y
While she was thus occupied with
her thoughts, a crimson flush sufused
her whole countenance as "Mr. Beck
weth" was announced. She greeted
him in the reception room with a frank
cordiality so much like her usual man
ner that Beckweth, if he had come with
any intent of renewing his suit, could
not fail to see that his cause was still
hopeless. He was much embarrassed,
and like most men under similar cir
cumstances, after a few commonplace,
remarks, he plunged abruptly into the
subject that was uppermost in his.
mind.
'.Miss Denham," he said, 81 have
become possessed of some information
concerning your friend, Hattie Harper;
would you like to hear it?"
s.Hattie Harperw she replied, with a
startled look; ''what about her. You
surely do not n,ean-you have not
what have you heard about her, MIR.
Beckweth?"
Her evident surprise and manner of
answering made him vexed with him
self at his want of tact, and did not
serve to lessen his own embarrassment
After moments hesitation he said:
~ 6nd myself in delicate position,
for I must own to you that 1 know con-
corning Hattie Harper what I have
reason to believe you did not wish me
to know. More than that, can, if you
wish, tell you much more about your
self than I think you can ever have
heard. The conversation after your
graphic story of Hattie Harper's ship
wreck, told that stormy night at Rock
berg, makes me feel that l have no
right to keep from you, however, the
knowledge that I have become pos
sessed of.
Kate had now fully recovered herself,
and, laying her hand gently on his
arm, she said:

DEMOCRATIC ExTRAvAeANce.
The Surplus Reduced to s12, 900, 900 by
RacLln.s Brndinnlitr

The Surplus Reduced to S12, 900, 900 by
Reckless P~rodigality.
The government income for the cur.
rent fiscal year, beginning July l, is esti-
mated at $3.50, 000, 900, or 1920, 600, 900
tariff, $3.50, DOC, 600 internal revenue and
the rest miscellaneous. This ought to
leave a surplus of $3.50, 900, 900. The sur
plus, less sinking fund, will not be a
tenth of this.
The house has primary charge, under
the Constitution, both of revenue and ex-
penditure. The senate has not. The
house has a good party majority of twelve
to sixteen. The senate has q bare party
majority of but two.
The Democratic party has always talked
economy and practiced extravaganza. The
Republican party in the days of its most
complete control never approached the
reckless expenditure of the present
house. Its Democratic majority has found
a short way to deal with the surplus. 1t
has spent it.
The aggregate appropriations made or
making are $257, 000. 900; the permanent
appropriations for interest, etc, are $685.
600, 900; the sinking fund, a good deal of
a sham but required by law, is SAT, 000,-
600; total, $3S71, 900, 900. Take this from
lne recelpbS hlu unere is SlS,UUU,UUU lett.
This is the beggarly total to which the
surplus Is c1t down by Democratic ex-
travagance. Abolish the sinking fund
and it would stand at $50, 600, 900, two
thirds the expected total.
The ready answer is that the house has
voted money for future years. How
much? Part of the biggest river and har-
Dor bill ever known, a little of the appro-
priation for guns and ships, in all, stretch
it as you will, $12, 100000. Allow for
this and the surplus stands at $50, 000,-
900.
A resolution two lines long cutting off
the tobacco taxes would dispose of half
the surplus at its biggest figure; but the
Democratic house will not reduce the sur
plus save by ~disordering industry. 1t
will not relieve the farmer unless it can
disturb the manufacturer. Philadelphia
