Al ll:l5 a. m. yesterday, Charles
W. King died at the family residence
on South Highland avenue, Of con-
sumption. Some four years ago the
deceased left his fathers home, then
i'm Canaudaigua, \. v. for Kansas,
hoping to benefit his health which
was failing by a change Of climate
Turning his attention to farm labor,
he seemed to grow rugged, with a
prospect Of ultimately recovering
from his weaknesses. In fact until
late last fall he was in gOnd health,
when taking cold he commenced
failing rapidly. He then made a trip
TO southern California, hoping 10
be benefited by the climate. In this
he was disappointed. as he grew
weaker each day. His father was
summoned and returned with him
Just five weeks ago yesterday. The
deceased reached the age Of q
years the 18th Of last October.
Il is sad indeed to see one cut down
Just as he Is reaching the threshold
Of manhOod-esPecially one so good,
true and noble. lie was a young
man OF the strietest honor, a most
afTectionate son and brother. a true
and ardent friend. OF retiring and
modest disposition, he has never en-
joyed a large acquaintance; but
ia use friends he had made priced his
friendship most highly, and are
deeply saddened over his departure
The afflicted family in this dark
hour have the earnest sympathies
Of their relatives and friends. Ats

will be held ~ the family residence
The remains will be conveyed east

of unraveling this affair. You remember

I set myself to watch for that friend, sup
posing he had got an mixing OF Edson's
Whereabouts, and to-day when | was told
that person had been inquiring for him, 1
went down to interview the person. 1t
turned out to be one Of those caGsyerous
tract peddlers, on the hunt Of sinners to
convert, but spent some little time talk
ing to him, to convince myself of the gen
uineness Of his mission. When I went back
to the sick room, found it empty. Mind
you. that Miller, as he called himself, had
newer fairly come out of his stupid state.
He took what we gave him, ate and slept,
and lay there like a man whose mind was
torpid; but I can see now he had his wits
about him through all He knew he had
given himself away to me, and he took this
way of beating me. You're in the right of
it to be modest my boy. I'll never boast OF

ing us-and it's just the time for some crook
to get in his work after we've gone. Keep
YOUR eye peeled for the next few nights,
will you?"
The officer promised, took the cigar which
was offered him, and they parted.
From his post at the window Norris saw
the short conference without hearing What
passed.
His head was in wfirl. What was Hiram
Ingot there to discover? Who had left the
bank, stealthily, watched by the book-keep'
err, watched also by that contfere OF the
burglar, Stone, whom he had seen at
Maloney's, Red Tom?
At least, his apprehensions for the BANKS
safety were lulled. There were lynx eyes
upon it besides his own. Ingot would pro-
tect it from the tool he was employing ior
his own purposes-purposes which Norris
could but family sl.adow-but which Woula
have their climax when the wedding Dolls
rung.

ten feet away from him. separated by the
thickness Of a partition wall, was Il watcher
unsupported by the other three, who LAD

he would give all he was worth to tind.

aRopISti IN THE DARK.

"She has gone and engaged herself tt
that man" said Althea. with some bitter
ness; and those words kept repeating them
selves il the mind OF Norris Bergman
through the livelong night.
| His heart had gone down with sudden
chill He was depressed and unhappy, but
yet not entirely without hope.
! "Her brother is at the bottom of it,
Althea had declared, and he believed it.
| Of herself, he felt sure, Carol would never
turn to ingot, and for the rest, marriage
need not necessarily follow upon such an
arrangement as might have been brought
about by the cooperation of the two men
No girl of spirit would be SO driven, and
that Carol had spirit he knew, for had she
not defed her brother when Lyman
snubbed him, ana closed the door in his
| face?
! 1t was cross to think that she had ever
| tolerated Ingot, but there was comfort in
! knowing that she, too, was unhappy. Her
| pale, dropping face had assured him of that.
! Altogether, Norris might have suffered
more than he did that night. He was like
one who refuses to believe the illtidings
! that come to him, and Althea did her best
to keep Up his spirits when he saw her
again.
