sight of these bars never fails to make the
visitors eyes flash with cupidity.
The next operation is the washing of
the planchets in hot water and soap to get
rid of the beeswax, after which they are
sent to the adjusting-room to be weighed.
Each blank or planchet is passed upon
most carefully in this particular; if too
heavy it is filed down to standard weight,
if too light it is remelted and recoined.

Strange as it may appear, a suspi-
cion that she knew all, suddenly stag
gered into the pseudo baronet's mind.
He arose to his feet, and turned
toward the door.
II will see you again before I leave,
Miss Lawrence" he was beginning.
But she was at his side in an instant,
her hand upon his arm, her face pale
with excitement, her eyes glittering
ominously.
"Stop!" she painted, bleakly. "You
are no more Sir Arthur Stanley, of Sus-
sex, England-no more an English
lord than I am! Would you Like me
to tell you your name?"
He wheeled about and confronted
her.
"Tell mel"
She lifted her eyes to his face once
with that strange look, as though she
could read his thoughts.
"You are Arthur Wynne!" she said,
slowly. "Yeu thought to deceive me
for your own purposes, but you have
failed failed utterly"
She lifted her hand with a swift
gesture, and tore the fiery red wig
from his head; then she seized the
eye-glass, and tossed it upon the table
near.
She had been too long an actress,
accustomed to disguises and transfor-
nation scenes, to be easily deceived by
You can 1ever leag disguise yourself
so that I shall not recognize you, she
went on, slowly, because" her voice
sank to trembling whisper, because
I love you with my whole heart and
strength! I have staked my life upon
the hope of winning your love; and I
will die sooner than relinquish that
hope! Arthur! Arthur"
She clasped her small hands in pite-
GUS appeal, her eyes fixed upon his face
with deathless love in their luminous
depths-"tel mean I hateful to you2
Can you never return this mad, wild
love that unhappy creature that I
am-have lavished upon you?"
He turned and took her hand in his
own; in his eyes there shone strange,
deep, intense look.
Listen, Adele" he murmured.

there is another thing that you might
like to know. It is this Arthur Wynne
is not dead! When you pushed him from
the pier into the lake, he was too much
for YOU, and he saved his own life !
And know where he is! Do you want
me to turn States evidence?"
Slowly Mark Alleyne tottered to the
door,
"My God! you are q fend!" he NUT
tered, hoarsely.
She smiled.
aOh no! Only wronged woman-a
scorned woman! And, hell hath no
fury like q woman scornedp But be-
fore you 20, I must tell you that your
dear Adele is still living. I gave her
liberal dose OF Iaudanum. I did not
fancy having her witness to, our mar
riage.
"Mrs. Lawrence (ahem! Gabrielle
st. Cyr) is out, and the coast was clear.
The woman who assisted me in the
farce is an old and tried friend of mine.
Really, very shrewd game, and well
carried out, Eth, friend Mark?"
He made no reply. He was standing
like statue, his face white and wild.
"But, the clergyman called you by
her name!" he painted, hoarsely, after
time. "He certainly called you
Adele!"
She smiled.
aTo be sure. My name happens to
e Adele Margaret. I suppose L have
q right to the name, if my sponsors
saw fit to give it to me? Mark Al
leyne, you are caught like rat in a
trap, hedged in on every side, and you
have to deal with a desperate woman
"Ino longer love you! All my love
is turned to bitter hate, and I intend to
punish you! To make you see the time
when you will curse the hour in which
you were born! There! I hear the
carriage coming up the avenue. The
madam has returned from her visit.
Shall you, or shall I break the news
that strange, unexpected news, to your
almost mother-in-law?"
He made no answer. Still as a
statue he stood there, his dark eyes
riveted upon her white, triumphant
face. At last his lips opened, and he
painted, bleakly:
Curse yon! I will be even with
you for this, if it costs me my life!"
Then he turned away and left the
room with eager step, as thoug h the
place had suddenly grown hateful to
him. Left the room and the house
with that same awful light in his eyes,
that evil expression upon his face.
Left Mrs. Mark Alleyne (aaee Maggie
Willett) to receive the mistress of
Lawrence Park, to break to her the
sudden, overwhelming news, that she,
Maggie Willett, was Mark Alleyne's
welded wife.
And so, all living obstacles had been
removed from Adele's pathway. Arthur
Wynne still lived, so Maggie Willett
had asserted; and nothing must now
separate Adele from the man she loved.
Nothing, except shadow-the ghost
of the woman whom Arthur Wynne had
never ceased to love, and would love
until he died. Poor little Ruby!

Mr.. Gladstone's Simple Life.

Mr.. Gladstone's habits of life are very
simple, although busy. He rises about
$50 o'clock, breakfasts on bacon and
eggs or little fish and tea, and then
goes to his library to skim over the news
papers. From 9 to 1 o'clockh receives
visitors. A light lunch follows, and them
he drives directly to Parliament. He
usually dimes quietly at home at 7:3O I'M
the evening, the food being simple and
the wines light, and then he returns to
the House. Unless there is to be an i'm
portant division, he is at home and in
bed by II o'clock. Mr.. Gladstone has a
fondness for his old clothes, and when
new ones are bought for him, his wife
has to resort to diplomacy to make him
wear them. When he speaks in the House
he loosens his collar, turns up his wrist
bands and unbuttons his waistcoat, his
gestures becoming exceeding vigorous as
he warns up.-Neao York Graphic.

Polly and the Hen.

Our next neighbor, writes 4 CORE
Bpondent, owned an amusing parrot
which was always getting into mischief
but usually got out again without much
trouble to herself. When she had don{

to be punished, she would hold her head

CRY out in exultation: tsHurrah! Polly ID
a good grill" She was allowed to cd
free, and usually took her exercise in ting
garden, where she promenaded back and
forth on the walks, summing herself, and
warning off all intruders. 3
One morning hen strayed out of the
chicken-yard, and was quietly picking uI
its breakfast, when Poll marched up to,
her, and called out s.Shoo!" in her shrill
voice, emphasizing the command with 9,
smart pick of her sharp beak on ths'
chickens head. The poor hen retreated
to her own quarters, running as fast as
she could, followed by Poll, who
screamed "Shool" at every step. t
The hen had her revenge few days
later, when Poll extended her morning
walk into the chicken yard. Here, with
her usual curiosity, she went peering
into every corner, till she came to the old
hen upon her nest. The hen made a.
dive for POLLS yellow head, but missed it.I
Poll, thinking discretion the better part
of valor, turned to run, the hen, with
her wings widespread, following close
after.
As she ran, Poll screamed in her.

it time to interfere in Polls behalf, a.

ran out, and STOPPING down held out his

up to his shoulder. Then, from her
high vantage-ground, she turned hen

While there he conceived the idea of be-
coming dressmaker, and thought OF
Paris as the most eligible place in which
to follow out his inclination. He had
learned the French language before going
to Paris, where, when he was about
twenty-five years old, he found employ
ment. After few years he and part
ner began business for themselves: The
partnership continued until 1870, in
which year Worth became the sole name
of the establishment. Worth had re-
ceived medals for designs at the exhibi-
tions of London and Paris before he was
so fortunate as to make dresses for the
Empress Eugene. This was the begin
ming of an illustrious reputation which is
still maintained.

An Odd Genius.

Professor F. V. Hayden was the
founder of the system which developed
into the geological survey of the United
States. He was man great of genius and
renowned scholar, but, according to
!be Pittsburg Dispatch, erratic and pecu-
liar. It was not uncommon for strangers
to follow him for several blocks, their
attention arrested by his bowed figure as
he almost ran for few steps-then sud-
denly stopped, with his gray, sharp eyes
fixed on the pavement-then ran again as
if sudden thought had struck him;
then they would inquire, "Who can that
poor insane man be2" 80. t
While Professor Hayden was explor-
ing the land of the Sioux Indians some
years ago, he once, in his enthusiastic
passion for geological research, wandered
away from his party; he had loaded him
self down with large specimens of miner

absent minded way the Indians captured!
him. They whooped and yelled at their
prize at first, but upon seeing all the
ssrocks and worthless stones" which the
poor man waf staggering under, and bis
composed, distracted manner, they del
Ided that he was s'afflicted with fool
ish mind" They took him without pro-
test on his part, which only confirmed
their fears; and after a few hours captivI
ity the old scientist with "his rocks" was
led to the nearest point of civilization
and "turned loose" lest the Great Spirit
should punish them for any charm done
the foolish or simple-mined."
He was daring, fearless and reckless in:
danger; most distinguished scientific
man, and much beloved by the young
men of his survey. His death during
the past year was greatly mourned.

A hardy apple tree, loaded with ripe,
luscious fruit, growing from the crevices
of a rock, was curiosity which attracted
the attention of visitors to Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, the past summer.
The tree, which is very large, shoots up
from the crevice of the rocks blasted to
form the pool for the pumping at the
Fairmount Water Works.
The apples on the tree were the beautl.
full rosy-cheeked, yellow variety, and
from their quality and size it would ap-
pear that there was some rich source OF
sustenance, though none was visible from
any point of view, the roots being plainly
seen clinging to the rocky walls, shooting
in one crevice and out of another. Hun
dreds of small boys tried, day after day,
to procure specimens of the fruit, but the
isolated position of the tree saved it from
their raids

TIE RABY ACROSS THE WAY.
By yEFFR FoRBusH HASAFoRD.

There's dear little baby across the way.
A baby with eyes so blue,
And sweet little lips tnat seem to say
To every one, II love you;'
But when / look ut that baby fair
It makes me lonely and sad,
Those sweet blue eyes and golden hair
Never can make me glad.
For they bring to nv mind the happy days
In the long, sad years that have flown,
And I dream Of my baby's pretty ways,
And wake to my sorrow alone.
Alone, how the sad word fingers
AS glance across the way
And watch those baby fingers,
Happy in innocent play.
For once I'd dear little baby myself
That once seems 80 far away
And mine was O little blue-eyed elf,
Like the ono across the way.
Oh, fond young mother, soothing to rest
Your dimpled babe upon your breast,
Sing, and be happy, your lullaby low,
AS I sung mine, long, long ago.

have been increasing until now it is at
its height. People do not seem to un-

catch is small. The whalers have
all gone through the straits, so there
will probably be no whaling for
some weeks, The bark Ohio, Capt.

A TRIP TO PEARL AARBOR.

Through the kindness of Mr.. B.
+. Dillingham; we met with quite a
large party of very pleasant ladies
and gentlemen on board the little
steamer Eva at 8 O'Clock on the
morning of Sept. 18th, for trip TO
the place where the iron horse will
make his first halt on his journey
around the island. We went on
shore but once, ut Axis landing
near the rice mill, but were interest
cd during the short time we were on
shore, as it gave us an opportunity
OF seeing the process of cleaning
rice which was entirely new 10 some
of US at least.
We cruised around the shores Of
east, middle and west lochs; and
from the deck of our little craft got
excellent views of the shore and the
large areas of gently undulating
slopes stretching away for miles to-
ward the interior, in one place un-
broken by any mountain barrier as
far as the eve can reach.
Some of the shore scenery is
really beautiful and the mountain
scenery in the cloudy distance, with
its wonderful variety of form and
coloring, is an alluring subject for u
painters brush. Strong and Others
have already transferred many of
these scenes to canvas. But there
is yet large field for the display of
the artists skill.
The greater part of the large areas
of comparatively level land referred
to, are now unused like the dormant
energies of sleeping giant. But
with the iron horse will go the civil
engineer with his troop Of laborers,
whose irrigating bitches will bestow
abundant fertility upon the now
arid soil, and the present unfruitful
field will IN the near future be cloth.
ed with u rich carpet of luxuriant
vegetation. In our minds eye we
can see it now as it will be when the
plans already laid have been carried
out, and please excuse our enthu'
siasm, for we feel like shouting
"Hurrah for the iron horse! Hur
rah for the engineers! Three cheers
for Dillingham; the protector of,

prise. We arrived at Brewers

THURSDAY, SEPT. 10, 1889.
THIS EVENINGS MEETING.
COMM NlCATEp.

Mr.. John w. kalua, who adj
dresses the natives this evening nj
the Skating Rink on Queen street,
is undoubtedly the ablest Hawaiian
speaker in the country. His oppo'
sition to Chinese immigration dates
back many years, and, ever since
the public meeting called by him in
Waikiki last year in support of re-
strictive Chinese legislation then
under consideration by the Legisla-
ture, he has been completely boy
cotted by the Chinese. His conduct
in this respect is in striking con-
trast with the position taken by
most of the native lawyers and po-
Iiticians, who are holding on more
or less openly TO the old anti-haole
platform and. what is more offensive
still supplementing it now with
avowed prof Chinese sentiments.
Mr.. kalua, while unquestionably
true Hawaiian, has the sense to
see what his compatriots are not in
telligent enough as yet to compre-
bend, i.s:,. that the issues before
the country are class and not race
issues. The natives unquestionably
are being urged to boycott tonight S
meeting by the sore-headed irrecon-
cilable native politicians of the Bush
stamp, who having done more than
all others to mislead the native pe0-
pie under the old order of things,
and by their excuses to bring ma
tive rule into disreputc, are now
making desperate efforts to keep the
natives together by frantic use of
the old anti-haole chestnut and to
prevent the natives from taking up
any new issue for their own indivi-
dual good.
1t seems likely that many natives
may thus be kept away, but be
there few or many at the meeting
tonight this voluntary move on Mr..
Kalua's part will be the beginning
Of movement that will surely gain
ground among the common natives.
An anti-haole, pro-Chinese organ
such as Mr.. Bush's paper now is
must rouse the Indignation of the
whites and cool off the support OF
the natives, for whatever the ma
tive's feelings may be against the
whites, when the day comes that he
must actually choose between his
white brethren of the poorer classes
and the Chinese, there is no more
doubt that he will go against the
Chinese than that the sun will rise
tomorrow. Bush politicians and
Queen street are nearing each Other
through. the Chinese question ant
the inevitable sequence will be tina,
the poorer natives and the poorer
whites will he drawn together.
