have not dared to buy it at SO cents or "a

The Rhode Island Mutual Live Stock
Insurance Go was chartered by special act
of the legislature of the state, June 1885,
and has been doing a successful business
ever since, having written half a million
insurance and paid claims, amounting to
many thousand dollars.
The Hon o. K. Fyler, commissioner of
insurance for the state of Connecticut, has
recently made thorough examination of
this company and has admitted it to do bus
mess in this state. There are in the state
Of Connecticut over ten millions of dollars
invested in horses, and it would be per-
fectly safe to say that within ten
years three fourths of this property will
become total loss by death, or in other

seven and eight million dollars within the
next ten years unless protected by insur-
ance. For further particulars and pros

CHAPTER II.

Ami Updegraff had on several different
occasions mapped out in his mind tour
around the world; but he had always found
himself mercilessly prodded by the prongs
of this predicament: He could not bring
himself to take his wife along with him, nor
could he screw his courage up to the point
of leaving her behind. Hence he had stayed
at home.
Now that he was dead, however, 1t was
perfectly plain sailing. provided he could
lay his hand upon the necessary funds with
out betraying himself to his people. and this
is how he proposed doing it. The brothers
Updegratf had always made 1t rule never
to deal in cats and dogs, and although dazz-
ling pictures of solid mountains OF silver had
often been unroled before their eyes, yet
they both had stood firm until the winter
just passed, when Ammi in moment OF
weakness had purchased thousand-dollar
interest in Nevada silver mine. Naturally
he had concealed the tact from his brother
AuZl and relolced was he now at the thought
OF having done so.
Upon reaching Quebec Updegraff, who
had already begun to grow full beard,
made haste to purchase a round, curly wig,
which lie frankly said he had long contem-
plated doing. A pair of gold spectacleS
completed the transformation, and in few
weeks time he might even have returned TO
Harlem without the least dread of being
recognized by Rachel herself had she merely
passed him on the street.
Although man OF few acquaintances and
no intimates, Updegraff now resolved to
avoid as far as possible any chance Of be-
ing recognized, aud therefore turned aside
from trodden paths and beaten roads when
ever he could. Instead Of re-enteTing the
United States at once he kept within the
Dominion as far as Manitoba, thence fol-
lowed the line OF the Red River and struck
the Union Pacific at Omaha.
At Carson City he had the good fortune to
sell his mining interests for SIS, 900, $500 Of
