don't ask your confidence; but if l
can be of any use in extricating you
from any trouble. pecuniariIy or
otherwise, command me, and if it's
in. my power it will be DONE"
Hal grasped his companions out
stretched hand, and said fervently:
Thanks, old fellow, thanksl You
have been true friend to me, Ches-
ter, and therefore why should you
not have my confidence? Yes,
have something on my mind, some
thing that is making me miserable,
and life well nigh unbearable."
Chester led the way to his apart
ments, and soon both were ensconced
in easy chairs.
The friendship of these two men
had originated at Florence, where
both were studying painting. Their
support depended entirely on their
calling, both being special artists on
a popular weekly. Halstead Moore
lived with his mother in a neat little
cottage in the suburbs. Little or
nothing was known of the Moores or
their past. On this subject Hal had
never opened his heart to Chester,
and the latter, with uncommon deli
cacy, forebOre embarrassing his friend
with questions.
After few moments Hal plunged
abruptly into his recital.
Chester, you asked tne awhile ago
whether or not | cared for Helen
ThOrndale, l do care for her; nay,
| love her, idolize her! By day,
by night, she is before me; my
thoughts, my dreams, are but of her
In view of this fact you will wonder
more than ever at my treatment of
Miss Thorndale, | will tell you the
secret of my trouble"
He had overcome his agitation, and
now spoke with due deliberation.
my parents marriage was the re-
suit of an elOpement, in consequence
of which my paternal grandfather
cursed his son on his deathhed. He
prayed that ruin might follow all his
endeavors and those of his children.
This death-sCene affected my father
deeply. He became morose and un-
loving. One night, six months later,
neighbor broke the intelligence to
my mother that her husband was
dead, drowned while crossing the ice
covered river on a homeWard Jour
ney. His body was never recovered.
Among his effects was found sealed
letter, which was to bo deIi~e-->-l -
me II was then two months Old
when | should attain my majority.
NV mother carefully preserved that
letter unopened. and on my twenty
first birthday delivered it to me. 1t
contained a sketch of what / have
told you, and concluded with an in
Junction never to marry, as the con-
sequence must be unhappiness. That
injunction | look upon as message
from the dead, land one that [ must
hold sacred. Now you know why |
dare not declare my love to Helen
ThOrndale.
So deeply interested in his friends
recital has Chester become, that his
brandy and soda remains untouched.
At the conclusion of the narrative he
settled back in his chair excIaiming:
"Well, well Who would have
thought such romance mingled with
matter-of-fact Old Hal's life?"

Gov. FORAKER, of Ohio, makes vigor-
Gus assault upon the presidential free
trade policy In his message to the Ohio
legislature. The Ohio governor never
has been accused OF mincing matters.
His message has the right ring even for
the wool men Of Texas. He says:
The recent message Of the president OF
the United States commits his admins
tration and the party he represents to
the most unqualified and hostile opposl-
ton to the enduring principle and pol
Icy Of a protective tariff. He seeks to
make 1t appear that the blow he would
strike is aimed only at the manufaotur-
ing and wool growing interests of the
country, but IL Is manifest to all men OF
intelligence, who are acquainted with
our conditions, that II his proposition
prevails, the consequent es will be disas-
trous to every industry and every sec
ton OF our country, and to no class
more surely than our farmers, who must
rely chiefly on our home markets for
the sale of their products, and our labor
ing people, who depend upon the con-
tinuanoe Of that general prosperity that
has obi aimed Tor the last quarter OF
century, for employment and remunera-
tive wages.
With these sentiments the country in
general will be found in harmony.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of surOcatlon
while lying down; to breath freely, sleep
sOundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear. brain active and free from pain or
ache; to know that no polsonC us, putrid mat
TOR defiles the breath and rots aw y the deli
cate machinery of smell, taste nd hearing; to
feel that the system does n, {, through its
veins and arteries, suck up the p olson that is
sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a
blessing beyond all other human enjOyments
To purchase immunity from such fate should
be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de-
spair of relief or cure.
