Mrs; Mindcn, carclessly; "Aut never
did fancy these quaint old oftts and ends
of creation, and I didn't bargain to have
my house turned into storage place for

added the lady, with a laugh, 81 think
/ should have been tempted, if better
term. could not have been made, to pay
the dealer <ivc dollars for removing it

Mr. Mindcn looked up FROM behind
the closely printed columns Of the daily
paper.
"And if your Uncle zadock inquiries
after it:o said he. .:Bccausc it will
hardly do to Offend the old gentleman. "
ooh, wen tell him it all fell 70 pieces, ;"
said Mrs. Minden, calmly. "Ten to

And Mrs. NIinden replaced the old
tcakvood cabinet with modern chif-

tering with brass ornaments, and con
graduated herself on getting rid of Uncle

lovely Old Indian cabl.ct in Leckwood's
second hand store as l passed by, It
was marked Fifteen dollars Mamma,
it would brighten up our dim little par
lor like bit Of the O,icnt!'
Mrs. Field, a thin little woman, sighed
asashe saw the sparkle in Beatricc's
eyes
"But, Bee, said she, fifteen dollars.
How are wc, with our marrow mcans,

"Shes coming to" said a voice, seem

strangely familiar sound.
A cup was pressed to her lips, and she
drank eagerly.

same voice A moment later she heard
few steps, and door open and close.
She opened her eyes. A man of rough
exterior stood over her She closed
them again in fright, and nearly
Swooned.
When next she opened them she was
alone.
Unable to collect her thoughts, she

cried Then she sprang from her couch.
forgetful of her sufferings.
She was dazed The room she found
herself in was evidently an attic room.
The roof sloped down low and close to
the floor on one side. There was neither
ceiling nor walls; the rafters and stud
ding were bare of plaster The floor
was upcarpeted. A dormer window
broke through the roof and gave light
to the room. She few to it, but could
not reach it; strong iron grating set in
the timbers and floor barred her way.
She shook it in the desperation of de
spair. AS well might she have tried to
move one of the Brooklyn bridge towers
She few to the door at the foot of the
bed; it was locked and boIted from the
outside.
There was a strong board partition
running up to the roof and in it was

she entered a similar room. Another
dormer window, and another iron graf
ing, and another door leading to the
stairs; that also was locked and bolted
On the outside.
She was like q frightened bird, with
throbbing breast, beating the bars of a
cage.
Then for the first time she realized
that her dress appeared strange.
She examined it. 1t was a coarse cal
leo garment of vulgar figure.
She was bewildered. Then she found
it had been slipped over the other dress
How? She could not comprehend.
Her head began to whiri, and before
she could reach the other room darkness
overcame her.

again she was lying upon the floor, She
staggered to her feet
How long she had lain there she could
not tell. 1t was still bright day, but

more frightened by the thought.
Oh, if she could but communicate
with Holbrook! She prayed heaven to
open way.
"Hi, missy, hip
A voice startled her. She looked in
every direction but the right one.
"Hi, missy, look up"
She did. In the roof there was a sky
light. Through broken pane the very
dirty face of boy looked down upon
her.
If it had been the face of an angel it
could not have appeared more beautiful
to her.

Once he lifted his head to say that it
was necessary for them, in order to make
quick trip, to pass through a disagree
able portion of the town.
To this she made no reply.
Finally they turned into the street, the
dirt of which passed all comprehension
upon her part.
Children seemed to swarm on the side
walks; women, often drunk even at that
early hour, and clothed in rags, talked
and quarreled on the sidewalks and on
the stoops of the squalid dwellings.
She became interested in the scene,
novel to her, and leaned forward to look
from the window She did not notice
that the young man had drawn the cur
tain over the window on the opposite
side of the coach.
He broke the silence that had con-
inued for some time:
Il beg you will excuse me, Miss
Iempleton. l know it Is not the proper
thing to do, but | am suffering greatly
with my eyes this morning. Have
your permission to apply a lotion to
them?'
Wondering at the stfangeness of the
request, she nevertheless murmured her
permission, and turned again to the
street
He drew his handkerchief from his
pocket and then bottle, with the con-
tents of which he plentifully saturated
the handkerchief
Before she could realize what was be-
ing done the young man snapped spring,
the curtain shot up over the window in
front of her, she was forced back on the
cushions with vigorous push on her
shoulder, the handkerchief was closely
pressed on her nose and mouth, and,

hours, she was unable to determine.
Her eyes fell again upon the calico dress
which covered her. She stripped it off
with hurried action.
She stood moment, her senses numbed
utterly confused.
By and by the events of the day began
to pass before her vividly. She traced
them one by one, to the final scene in the
coach.

Des tination to Which the Republican Party IL
Consigned Should the Metal Schedule
in the Tariff Bill Pass.

Special to the Gazette.
P.fTsBURG, PA. June l9.-To say thst
iron, steel and glass manufacturers OF
Pittsburg are excited over the manner in
which their special interests in the tariff
bill have been handled by the senate
finance committee, does not convey an
idea of the feeling here to-day. Ihey
are mad; they claim that they nave
been tricked and that the country and
Republican party particularly, can go TO
the donation bow-wows, II the senate
committee is allowed to have its way. A
member of Andrew Carnegle's hrm sald ;
''The duty on steel rails and on nearly
all other articles in the metal schedule
as fixed by the Mckinley bill as 1t passed
the house were uncomfortably near the
danger line. The rates proposed by the
senate finance committee, II adopted,
will compel complete readjustment OF
the rules, and this means ruin to many
and suffering to thousands. The whole
bill is direct violation of the pledge OF
the Republican party
George A. Macbeth, who has been
classed as a free trade manufacturer, is
pinched somewhere, and said: 'The
| bill is an outrageous conspiracy to ruin
us. -
| Other manufacturers talked in SINH
lar strain. They will fight hard to de-
feat the senate amendment. William
Martin, secretary of the Amalgamatec
| association of iron and steel workers
says that if the bill is passed it will be
useless or the Republicans to nominate
a candidate for president in 1892.

An Iron Ring Found at the Depth Of ITO Feet
Incased in a Hollow Stone.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX. June ia man
named Waller, while digging well six
feet in diameter, twelve miles south OF
Hondo City station, and when at depth
of 10 feet discovered what he thought to
be curious shaped stone. The object in
question was perfectly round, about
three inches in diameter, and in the
center was a small hole. Mr.. Waller
broke the supposed stone with hammer
and was astonished to find in the stone
coating a perfectly formed iron ring
rusty and dlsdgured, but the application
of file showed the clear metal. How
this thing found Its way to such depth
will probably remain as much mystery
as the image found in an artesian well IN
Idaho.
