Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, Of
l itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent Of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsapariIla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of BrockWay
Centre, Mich.:-
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to q skeleton, and hardly
had strength TO drag myself about. All
the most delicate could be digested at
All. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use Of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon

rilla / could see an improvement IN my

knaps' quarters in order to do her proper
homage. When Perry called he asked
Parke to go with him, and when the lat.
ter seemed ready to leave the former,
disregarding very palpable hint from
the lady of the house, picked up his for
age cap and went likewise. For two
days the one subject under constant dis
cusSion at the post was the event q Miss
Maitlands sudden appearance, her peril
Gus run and her daring and sl1illful res-
cue. Everybody maintained that Perry
ought to be very proud and happy fe;-
low to have been the hero of such an
occasion; but it was very plain that Perry
was neither proud nor anything like
happy. No one had ever known him so
silent and cast down. The talk with
Lawrence had helped matters very little.
In brief, this was about all the cap
tain could tell him, and it was all hear
say evidence at best. The officers of the
Eleventh and their ladies had, with a
few exceptions, taken a dislike to DR..
Quin before Belknap and Lawrence with
their companies of infantry had been Or
In full blast when they arrived, and dur
ing the six or eight months they served
there together the infantry people heard
only one side Of the story-that of the
Eleventh-for the doctor never conde-
scended to discuss the matter. After
he was forbidden to leave the post
by his commanding officer, and after
the announcement Of the blockade" Of
Dunraven, it was observed that signals
were sometimes made from the ranch at
night: strong light thrown from re-
Hector was flashed three times and then
Withdrawn. Next it was noted, by an
enterprising member Of the guard. that
these signals were answered by light
In the doctors windows, then that he
mounted his horse and rode away down
the valley of the Monee He was al
ways back at sick call; and, if any one
told the commanding officer Of his DISC
bedience of orders, it was not done until
SO near the departure Of the Eleventh
that the doctor was not afterwards act
ually caught in the act. Things would
undoubtedly have been brought to a
crisis had the Eleventh been allowed to
remain.
Now as TO the story about Mrs. Quin
and her going. 1t was observed during
the winter that she was looking very
badly, and the story went the rounds in
the Eleventh that she was stung and s,f-
fering because of her husbands conduct.
Unauestionably there was some fair en-
chantress at Dunraven who lured him

renee and his faithful adjutant. Mrs
Sprague stepped quickly towards him
and spoke few words in a low tone
while Mrs. Belknap remained lookine
straight into Perry's eyes. Before the
young fellow could gather himself, Col.
Brainard, as though in reply to sug-
gestion of Mrs. Sprague's, suddenly
started, exclaiming, "Why, by al
means!" and then called aloud:
ooh! Perry, why not gallop down and
overtake the Dunraven carriage and say
good-by? Here's my horse all saddlec
now right in the yard. Take him and
60: would.
There was something so hearty and
genial and sympathetic in the colonel's
manner that Perry's face flushed despite
his effort at nonchalance The thought
of seeing her again and hearing her
sweet voice was powerful incentive.
He ionged to go. The colonel's invita-,
ton was equivalent to an excuse from
parade. There was no reason why he
should not go. He was on the very
point of thankfully accepting the tempt
ing offer, when Mrs. Belknap's words
arrested him. Clear and cutting, bu:
still SO low that none but he could hear,
she spoke:
"Take my word for it, you are not
wanted, nor any other man, when DR.
Quin is with her."
Perry's hesitation vanished. "Thank
you, colonel. l believe l don't care to
co." he answered, and, raising his c2L
to the ladies, turned on his heel and
hurried to his quarters. Mrs. Belknar
stood watching him one moment, theI
calmly rejoined the party at the gate
"Well," said she, with the languG
drawl that her regimental associates had
learned to know so well, this has been
day of surprises, has it not? Only
fancy our having a beautiful English
heiress here within reach and never
knowing it until todayr'
But you had surprise of your own,
had you not?" interposed Mrs. Sprague,
who was still chatting over the fact that
her lovely and dangerous neighbor should
have SO monopolized the guest she con-
sidered hers by prior right, and who
meant to remind her thus publicly of
the neglect of which she had been guilty.
"Mrs. Page, you mean?" responded
Mrs. Belknap, with the same languid,
imperturbable manner Eyes; poor Jen-
ME! She is always utterly used up after
one of those long ambulance journeys,
and can only take cup of tea and go to
bed in darkened room All she wants
is to be let alone, she says, until she gets
over it. l suppose she will sleep till
tattoo and then be up half the night.
You'll come in and see her. won't you?
Au revoir."
And SO, calmly and gracefully and
VIGOROUSLY, the dark eyed dame with
drew, leaving her honest hearted antag-
onist only the sense Of evaporation and
defeat.
1t was full quarter of an hour after
parade, and darkness was setting down
on the garrison, when Capt. Lawrences
orderly tapped at the door of Mr.. Perrys
quarters, and, being hidden "Come in,"
pushed on to the sitting room, where he
found that young officer plunged deep
in an easy chair in front of the fireplace,
his attitude one of profound detection.

and in the troubled situation of the times the
railroad wrecker was born, grew and flour
ished. few had appeared even before the
panic.
BUSINESS LAWS DEFIED.
To the newspaper readers of 1862 the
very name Erie" calls up vision of most
extraordinary defiance of law and business
methods. The British stockholders were
crowded out" legislatures were corrupted
judges were appointed fo.' the purpose of
looking out for the interests of tae Erie
clique" and the volume of stock was, as far
as the public can learn, arbitrarily increased
or diminished at the will of few men. At
length, despairing of relief by legal methods,
the defrauded stockholders, under the lead of
Gen. Daniel Sickles, boldly organized revo-
lution-it can scarcely be called by any other
name-and seized the property The revolu-
ton in the roads affairs was almost contem-
porary with a judicial and municipal revo-
luton in New York city; the moral atmos
phere was purified and Erie" ceased to be
the great sensation.
The Credit Mobilier scandal just preceded
the panic and exposed another new method
of swindling-a wheel within a wheel, as it
were; set of men who formed the known
and ostensible company organized an Inside
company" and let profitable contracts to
themselves Then came the railroad wrecker

changed rapidly till he had been in several
offices He next became member of the
firm of Meeker, Ives & Co., but early in 1874
organized the now notorious firm of Henry
8. Ives s. Co.
The Coz included George H Stayner and
Tom G. Doremus E. Wilson Woodruff, who
had previously been partner of Ives. was
still his confidential man; and in June, 1886,
they organized a syndicate and obtained a
controlling interest in the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton road, which, according TO
Woodruff, they proceeded to wreck most
Systematically. All that need be stated
here as certainly known is that the stock
fuctuated beyond anything known in Wall
street since the wonderful times of Pacific
Mail
In the meantime, however, they had
formed the noted pool in telegraph stock,
and Dorenus, a member of the Stock Ex-
change, had managed the matter there His
methods were so peculiar, however, that the
board expelled him, the expulsion to con-
tinue in force while he retained his connec-
ton with Ives He was restored. how
ever, to the privileges Of the Exchange with
out breaking with Ives. Their next move
was TO attempt the so-called Baltimore and
Ohio comblnen-Ihat Is, TO get the latter
road, the c., II. and D. and the Vandalia
lines all under one management The crash

The main testimony for the prosecution in
the trial Of Ives just ended was that of Wood
run, who confessed in open court that be WAS
the llal in general for the firm; that he CON-
mItted perjury IN swearing to fabricationS
on all the early trials in which he was a wit
ness, and as it has been clearly proved that
he committed perjury on several points in
the last trial, one may be justified in taking
what he says against himself as true and give
all others the benefit of the doubt. He swore
on the trial that after making Stayner presi-
dent, Ives vice president and himself secretary
treasurer of the c., II. & D., they systematic
cally cooked" accounts, borrowed Illegally
and manufactured fraudulent stock as they
happened to need It, Much of this stock, of
course, went into the hands of innocent pur
chasers. And on the specific charge of man
ufacturing some 5000 goo worth of this fraud
ulent stock on June q, 1886, in the upper
room of Stayners house in Brooklyn, Ives
was finally brought to trial
In rebuttal of this damaging testimony Of

too delicate for man. he is decidedly good
looking in repose there is an air of modesty
about him, but when he talks his face
takes on very determined appearance and
his tone indicates the most sublime self
confidence. He undoubtedly belongs to the

class that can influence much older men and
devise new methods of attaining their ends as
fast as old ones fail.

then buy it in and make the road efficient and
profitable The stocks, of course went up,
and the conspirators realized handsomely.
This was only one way, however, and could
not last long; it was followed by the system
of ''paralleling" and consolidation. A road
was projected to parallel as near as possible
one already established and in operation, the
owners of the old road would have to buy out
the new or sustain still heavier losses.
In the seven years following the great
panic of 1873 the country grew up to" its
railroads-that is, production SO far increased
that, aided by the seven years of short crops
in western Europe and the consequent in
creased shipments of grain, it made the e1-
isting railroads profitable. Then set in new
era Of speculative railroad building, and
many new men came to the front. OF many
Of these it is no Islander to say that their
methods were as near the line Of actual fraud
as the law would allow, and they bad the
best attorneys TO tell them just how far they
could go; but every now and then one
stepped over the line and got his foot into the
legal net 1t is extremely difficult to convict

duced new enemies OF those roots, so a rapid

equally rapid increase of burglars and swim
