woman, and the meaning of Hunters
actions was as plain, 1t was not with
out admiration that Crawford observed
the demeanOr of the widow under this
most surprising and unexpected reve-
lation. She INDUCED in no useless re-
pining nor reproaches; her sorrow for
the loss of her husband was undated.
All disappointment at the loss of wealth
was concealed.
"Helen,' said Crawford one day,
when they were alone, "your poor
father was in his last hours very
anxious that you and your mother
should have the money. Yet l don't
know but that it is well that it is gone. "
"Whyp"

PART IV-CHAPTER u.

On frosty morning of early De.
cember. Henry Crawford stepped
ashore at Provincetown. The color
was returning to his face, his step had
something of its old elasticity, he had
thrown aside his canes. Sharp pains
from his desperate hurts occasionally
distressed him; but youth, strength and
"a vigorous constitution were triumph.

hin-not the future of ease and com.
fort that poor Captain Willis had
pictured for him and Helen, but a
future of toll and endeavor for them
both. But he was happy in the pros.
pect; her love was his exceeding great
reward.
He had never been at this place be.

he reached it he made some INQUIRIES

answer.
"The old Lobdell house you mean,
sir? Why, Lord bless you, nobody
goes near it since Ma'am Willis and
her daughter left it. Nobody knows
any thing more about it. nor wants to;
we know too much already. Things
have been quiet there lately, for all I've
heard: but s'pose they're liable to

the place now" said Crawford. 81

this morning by their direction to look
at the condition of the place, and to
take care of the property remaining in
the rooms they occupied. Where can
get two or three men to help me?"
'What-to go into the house and
move things out?''
Certainly"
mot in this town, you may be sure,
sir. Nobody would set foot in it."
Crawford left the horror-strickeu
shop-keeper. and walked on. He
smiled at first at the mans fears: but
after he had asked the same question
in several other quarters, and received
the same reply, he began to see diff

AS he reached the near vicinity Of
the house, he paused to take careful
survey of it, which enabled an old
sailor who had been following him for
several minutes to overtake him.

scraping the crown of his hat. 81 Just

cabin, accompanied by Mr.. Krech, for the
purpose of smoking opium. The China
man wanted Matthews to come some other
time, as he had no fresh opium, but only
stuff that had been once used, and there
fore was not so strong. Mr.. Matthews said
that having come up there for the purpose
he would take whatever the Chinaman
had.
Accordingly All Chung set to work to
prepare the opium and at about 6 o'clock
Mr. Matthews began to smoke. After
smoking about four pipes he informed Mr..
Krech that delicious languor was creep
ing over him and described his sensation
as those of great pleasure. He continued
to smoke until he had consumed ten or
twelve pipes of the deadly drug. He con-
tinued to talk in q half-reaSonable, half
fantastical manner until about 10 o'clock,
when he ceased to smoke. About fifteen
minutes after smoking the last pipe he be-
came stupid and Mr.. Krech and the China
man began their efforts to arouse him. The
Chinaman gave him some Chinese gin,
which he drank, and then All Chung told
Krech he would soon wake up all right.
After waiting till II o'clock Mr.. Krech
fell asleep and slept till o'clock, when he
was aroused by the Chinaman, who said
he could not hear Matthews breathe any
more. Terribly alarmed, Mr.. Krech ex-
amined the body, but could discover no
signs of life He FASTENED to summon a
physician and the brother of deceased,
W. s. Matthews, who was in the camp.
On returning to the cabin they found that
all effort was useless. as Mr.. Matthews was
dead. Deceased was 40 years of age. He
leaves widow and three children living in
Minneapolis. Mrs. Matthews is in delicate
health. Mr.. Matthews was wealthy. The

Boston Mass J, September 22d.-The

graphed from Boston throughout the coun-
try Thursday night, purporting to be an
interview with Insurance Commissioner
Major George S. Merrill, charging Corporal
Tanner with drum keuness and malfeasance
in office, turns out to have been fake, and
is to-day repudiated by the Boston press
Major Merrill is highly indignant, and begs
leave through the California Associated
Press correspondent to notify his old COM
rades in arms in your vicinity who may
have seen the dispatch of the following in
reference to the extension Commissioner
and the facts brought out in his investiga-
ton: Corporal Tanner suffers constant
agony from his numerous wounds and has
to resort to opiates to deaden the pain
nevertheless his disposition remains genial
and generous, and all stories of his being
seen intoxicated are lies. The investiga-
ton discovered nothing in his department
to implicate his honesty in the slightest,
and there existed no conspiracy, as alleged,
among his subordinates as reported. Gen.
eral Rosecrans will not lose his position,
nor has Tanner been offered it neither did
the President ever offer the Pension Office
to me, but Major Warner will accept it
finally. The Corporal will be taken care

The story sent around the country seems
to have been simply for the sake of the
pecuniary compensation thereby obtained.

The Catholics iu Red Lake Falls Drs-
agree-The Church Burned.
RED LAKE FALLS (Minn. September 22d.
st. Joseph's Catholic Church was discov-
cred on fire last night at midnight, and be-
fore the flames were gotten under control
the church and contents were totally de-
stroyed. This fire is the sequel to the in
tensely bitter fight which has been raging
between the French and German Catholics
of Polk county for the past six months.
The fire was inoendiary, as the men who
were the first to the scene claim they saw a
three-gallon can of oil underneath the
altar.
The Catholics here are much affected over
it. Each faction claims the other guilty of
the crime.
Rev. Father Moriel, who was at first sus-
pected by his enemies, was at the West Side
for three hours previous and at the time of
the discovery, and SO he is disproyen of
any personal part in the affair.
A feeling of depression pervades the
whole Catholic community. Bishop Ire
land is severely censured for his laggardly
attention to the troubles here. He was ex-
pected to show a more statesmanlike atti-
tude in the matter.

MUsKoGEE Il. To-, September t22d.-The
Congressional delegation visited Muskogee
Court yesterday morning, and afterwards
they were driven several miles into the
country. In the afternoon they were ban
quoted, and later, several hundred Creeks
assembled to hear the speakers Mr.. Man
sur said that the future policy of the Gov
eminent would be against making any
more treaties with Indians, but contracts
simply, as the Government did not wish to
bind itself to any future policy toward the
Indians. The power of the Muskogee
Court should be enlarged.
Congressman Perkins, Baker and Springer
disabused the minds of the Creeks that
they desired to take their land. They ad-
monished them TO organize as State and
be admitted into the Union. General
Pleasant Porter, one of the most promi-
nent of the Creeks. made very radical
speech, declaring that the time had come
when his race should live outside of their
prejadices and welcome the high civiliza-
tion of the white man. He favored ad-
mission into the Union and thus acquire
all the rights of American citizenship.
