This Is a True Story.

A man by the name of Klinkingbeard
says he was oncs hunting in the Virginia
mountains. He got lost, Travelled around
all day until, tired out, he sat down on q
log TO rest. After sitting there awhile he
thought the log moved aud jumped up and
examined. He found to his unspeakable
amazement that it was large snake. He
ran off about fifty yards aud fired at it, bu.
the ball glanced off without hurting the
snake. The monstrous reptile raised its
head up about fifty feet, but Mr.. Klinking-
beard soon had another lead in his gun, and
this time he aimed at the smooth place
around the neck where there seemed to be
no scales. This made the snake awfuliy
sick and il spewed up canoe and nine In
dams

GLOOM SAT HEAVY ON HIS BROW.
cowed and shrinking, trembling and dazed,
IN ignorance of what had caused offense,
with eyes that each moment turned in mute
appeal, and longing looks of prayerful petit
tions for forgiveness, she went forth.
Out and away into the gloom, into the
blackness of night that was as midday to
the ebon that closed in upon her soul. He,
the tyrant, still burning with the fire of IN
bridled wrath, watched her, with seeming
unconcern, even with seeming pleasure,
until no slightest semblance of her beautiful
form was discernible; then with swift, long
strides he turned and tered the house,
sought his lonely chamber and cast himself
upon his bed.
Long, long, were the hours during which
he vainly sought TO find oblivion in sleep.
That precious gift came not to carry him
into the land of forgetfulness. Instead,
beating upon his brain and heart, there
came the loud knockings of compunction
and self-upbraiding for the vile, unmaulv
act into which be had suffered himself 10
be betrayed.
When, worn with tossing he finally
drifted into the realm of dreams, no bright
visions refreshed him; the haunting spirit
of unrest was still in possession and he
groaned in his sleep.
The gray, cold shafts of dawning morn
that darted through the lattice of his
windows reached his wide-ope1 eyes as he
lay, all unrefreshed by the fitful slumber,
struggling with the pride that fought
against the claims of his awakened con-
science.
He could recall that even to his dulled
senses the beating of rair and rushing
sounds of winds had tod Of suddenly
risen, fierce, wild storm thst had swirled
through the neighbours
de forced himself 20 reject the thought
that mayhap Bessie had wandered into the
unsheltered open, needless OF place OF
rest fearing or not caring to return 10 the
home from which she had been so harshiy
driven, refusing to occupy any Of the many
places awaiting her for repose, Il banished
from the chamber of her lord. He argued
that OF certainty she had hidden her grief
in some distant apartment of the great
mansion.
But rest he could not; hastily arising at
last he donned the clothing he had cast
from him on retiring and with stealthy

steps searched through his silent home.

; DeSSl0 was nOt GQere.
! Quickening his steps he descended the
broad staircase, snatched hat from the
decr-antlers In the hall and wandered out
among the still dripping trees.
Broken branches, great limbs rudely
wrenched from lordly stems, bestrewed his
path, giving mute testimony Of the furious
elements that had ragged through the dark
ness.
On and on he wandered, instinctively fol
lowing the path 80 often marked by the
careless tread of bis feet with dear Bessie
close by his side. His eyes wandered rest
lessly.
What sound was that's Agroana It was,
not a cry, twas too faint to be called by
that name; 1t was a murmur Of distress, a
moan Of pain, as Of one stricken to death
and that death near, very near at hand.
A terrible, sickening fear struck like
dagger-thrust through Thurlow's heart
The agony of one moment Of that time was
punishment indeed for his i'll doing.
Two bounds brought him close to the
underbrush that surrounded long-unused
summer house. Parting the matted
branches he peered through the semi-dark-
ness caused by the wild shrubbery and
Frustrated trees, and he saw
One glance! but it was enough. Through
his misery he recognized how powerless be

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber of Commerce.

Cables were weak, with British mar
kets tending down. New York reported
a small export business, but that mar
ket was too far below Western prices
for any comfort to be derived from it.
The opening was steady at the same
price wheat closed at last night. There
was some strength displayed in Chicago
and that market went up 12lc on shorts
covering, but it had no effect here,
when May went up only &c from the
opening and soon after lost the &c gain
and nc more, the market standing at
&c below the opening at 11:15 o'clock.
This market did not happen to be
oversold. and the temporary flurries at
other places, consequent upon such
conditions, had no effect. There was
less strength during the morning than
yesterday, with several country elevator
companies dropping more or less each
into the pit, among them being Cargill
Bros, Barnes & Adams and Northwest
ern. The North Dakota company bought
a little. Among the brokers Gregory
and Wheeler were at times conspicuous
as sellers. Like yesterday there was
nothing in the trading that denoted an
effort to either pound the market down
or lift it up, but prices were left to take
care of themselves as either buying or
SGlllDg OIucfS pItUOulludtcu.
The opening for May was at 9S14c,
with small rise later to 9S15c, followed
by decline to size before IL o'clock.
The feeling was evidently weak as a
rise at New York and other places
elected very little sympathy. Toward
the last business was dull, with the
market mostly steady. The inspections

were 800 cars wheat on track this morn

The advance In the wheat market for
May delivery did not carry cash wheat
along with it, but it had the effect of
improving the demand slightly. Hold
ers were asking about the same prices
for all kinds of wheat on the sample ta-
bles, and many of them effected sales
of grain that were offered in vain yes
terday. The volume of orders from
outside points is falling off lately, and
local mitlers are not taking as much as
the increased water supply would seem
to warrant. Receipts were 100 cars and

New YORK, March 2O.-The clear

volume of business in the
stock market was still further restricted
to-day, but the improvement begun yes
terday made further progress. and with
but few exceptions the active stocks
this evening are fractionally higher,
with some marked gains among the
specialties. The London prices came
lower this morning., and this, with the
announcement of failure upon the ex-
change, led TO a temporary depression,
but the sustaining influence of the short

interest with the cessation of the bear
Sh dispatches from Chicago, soon made
themselves felt, and the firm to
strong tone was again resumed.
There were some efforts made
to get the grangers and South
western down, but the effect was
incOnSiderable, none of those stocks
ever got much below the opening figure.
Northwestern and Rock Island showed
more yulnerabllity than the others, but
included only fractions and had no
marked influence upon the remainder of
the list. The coal stocks were quite
strong upon the reports from Philadel-
phia that the companies had agreed on
for the regulating of the trade during
the present year and many of them
reached the best prices for week past.
The most marked feature about the
general list was its quietness and
steadiness with firm tone, but sew
eral of the Specialties made remarkable
advances while showing unusual
animation. Chicago Gas was the
special feature of the day, and from one
OF the inactive shares became the leader
strength. The insiders were believed
to be the heaviest buyers, and there
was renewed talk of 1 per cent quar-
terry dividend. Pullman also displayed
some of its Old-tlme strength, and a
squirt in the Chesapeake & Ohio first
preferred stock attracted much attcn-
ton. Short Line, c., c., G. & /. and
Big Four resumed their upward move
ment, although their advances were
more modest than those of the other
stocks mentioned. The opening fig
ures were all from g to g per cent
lower than last evenings prices, while
81 1<er
per cent. Further fractional losses
