unnatural were his tones. as they broke ths
fearful tension Of suspense
Stricken 10 the soul by the awful intelli
gence. she gazed al him, trying 10 compre
hend the pain aud sorrow which had come
10 her heart.
A deathly pallor crept over her agonizec
features. aud "a strange terror dilated hei
brown eyes. Slowly she withdrew her hanc
from that of Harmon's and, tottering 10 3
seat, she sank down, repeating: Dead !
dead Gead!'
The tears dried on her face, and no more
came 10 her relief, but the look OF terror
deepcned in her dry, not eyes as she con.
tiuued 10 repeat tho fateful words dead
dead dead - until they ell feared for her
reason.
LLOYD Harmon looked around the group.
"Can't one Of you say wordF' he eues-
toned in sheer desperation. 'She viii bs
insane Ia less than an hOsr, unless some
enc iDterposes.'
But the men stood silent, DUMB, before
such intense sorrow.
Presently Harmon went over TO the table
where she sat, and taking her hand again.
SAID kindly, sorrowfully; II am so grieved
for YOU, madame-so sorry; poor Bap
tiste!"
His words had the desired effect. Putting
her head down on the rude pine table, she
burst into tears, sobbing as if her heart
would break.
The meal stood untouched, and the sturdy
lumbermen were fain TO forget hunger who
could have taken mouthful with woman
weeping like that a. the boardl
Presently she started up. "Where have
YOU laid him? Take me 10 him." she begged
piteously through her tears, clutching the
proprietor's arm.
"Yes," he said, gently; 1--WE will go to
Baptiste. Come"
be led her away, out along the moonIt
banks, for the moon had risen and lighted
up the landscape beautifully.
In procession the men followed at re.
spectful distance, as Lloyd Harmon led he,
up the lonely, rugged pathway TO the peace
full mound under the whispering pines.
When they came 10 the grave she knelt
on the yellow carpetlng Of leaves and GOV.
cred her face with her hands as if in silent
prayer.
The proprietor removed his hat reverent-
ly and the men followed his example. All
was as silent in that moonlight scene as
the puseless "King Arthur" beneath, save
the whispering of the south wind and the
murmur of the river as it wound around the
blufTy bend.
Suddenly the agonized mourner stretched
out her hands toward the shimmering
waters, crying: 80, cruel, cruel tidel TO rob
me Of my hearts truest and best. o, Bap-
tiste Baptistep'
An approaching footstep, smothered
groan, and Tom Terrell lay prone on the
earth By the grave.
"He was his friend" explained the pro-
prietor, as the girl turned toward him in
terrified inquiry. But she never knew the
story as | have told it here; why should
shel Her heart was already broken.
II was after midnight before the sorrow
ing group left the grave to the requiem OF
the night wind and the slow, sad music Of
the river.
In the morning she left Us, and in a few
weeks after the camp "broke up" each
going his way.
But they say the echoes Of a heart-rend-
ing wall linger still Ia the pines midnight
vigil Ger the lonely grave.

No certificate has yet been received and consequently 1t is not known at the White House Just when tho proclamation will be promulgated.
 Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, said to-day that he had just seen the President and talked with him about the proclamation. He said he expected it to be issued very soon now. The cause of the delay, he said, was that the returns were not all in. He him. self had just brought with him the re- turns for South Dakota. They were all in now except Montana, where there is . contest, and he thought there would be but little delay. 'I asked tho President what he thought of the situa- tion in Montana" he said, ''but he had no opinion to give" It is being urged upon the President to issue the procla- nation for the States that are now ready, letting Montana come in under 3 supplementary proclamation.

GoULD's COLOSSAL PLANS.

All the Elevated Roads in New York ts
 be Rebuilt.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Jay Gould has returned from his Western trip, and before many days he will announce himself to the world as great railroad contractor. His pet scheme is now crystalized, so that the details cannot longer be withheld.
 The Manhattan Railway is to be com pletely reconstructed. It will not be the mere tinkering process that has been going on for years. The entire structure will be rebuilt. Engineers have frequently assured MT. Gould that in the course of few years the Thtrd, Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated roads would have to be torn down. He suggestion. It will be utilized in rather an unexpected way, so as to increase the revenue of the Manhattan.
 It will require an expenditure. of e2O, GOO, 900 and the money has all been pledged. Drexel, Morgan & Co.,, have floated the bonds, after George J. Gould had explained to foreign banks the full London month ago, presumably on e pleasure trip.
 Of the s2O, GOO. 900 to be placed at MT. Gould's disposal, one-half will be used in liquidating claims for damages, ex- tending depot platforms, building heavier engines and adding to the pres ent equipment of passenger cars. The curves on the Sixth avenue line are to be shortened, and the speed of the trains increased. MT. Gould contem- plates taking an equally important step in disposing of the remaining $1o,- 900, GOO. -
 With the prospect of the Worlds Fair being located in New York, he will make proposition 70 the city for tho acquisition of terminal property, on which are to be built extensive repair shops and depots for cars not in use. In return he expects to obtain the franch- ise for running certain crosstown branches, as we'll as the building of ex- tensions to the World 8 Fair site. Should he obtain all he asks, he is prepared to personally advance a sufficient sum for the amalgamation of the New York & Northern and New England in connec- tion with the Manhattan system, a project he has contemplated for some time. This would give him m indepen- dent outlet to Boston, and it is claimed that the franchises which he socks to obtain will warrant such an under taking.
