NEW YoRK, Aug. General Manager
J. N TOucy of the New York Central
railroad to-day said that within the
the past few days twenty or thirty
conductors, hrakemen and other train
men running between this city and
Albany on that road had been dismissed.
Most of these men were in the freight
service of the company and nearly all
of them were Knights of Labor. Some
of them were members of grievance
committees which had from time to
time waited upon the officers of the
company. Manager Toucey said that
the officers were competent to run the
company and would do SO without the
interference of outsiders and non-rail-
road men.
Grievance committees which have
called on Mr.. Touoey with regard to
the dismissals have re oeived NO satis-
faction. The only explanation offered
being that this being the dull season,
the opportunity had been taken to weed
out the less useful men. One of the men
dismissed is E. j. Leo, Master Workman
of the Assembly at Albany.
1t is limited that the Knights will
attempt to force the company to terms
but nothing definite is know AS to their
plans.

CHAPTER XIII.

Col. Stuart had been at the cottage all
the morning, but had not taken Gerard
and Lima back with him to The Anchor
age, as he had intended, for Gerard was
mot fit to be removed. The Colonel had
sent ut once for physician from Blea-
borough; but the chief prescription had
been for rest, and the chief words had
been plying ones for Lima, when shs
read the hopelessness which his simple
directions betrayed. And now the
Colonel had sauntered down the lane
with him toward The Anchorage, where
his carriage waited, and where he was to
lunch.
"Did you send and ask Sir Neil Athel-
sion to come, LinaP" asked Gerard, when
they had been some time alone.
"Yes, dear. Jet went. 1t pleases him
to do anything for you. 1t seems his
only pleasure just now"
"Dear little fellow" Gerard said,
smiling as he used to smile upon the
child. "Tt is such a Joy to me to think
he will be cared for always. His grand
mother loves him realy-doesnt she,
Lima ?-and you will have the power to
do all that money can for him, and the
love to do it as no one else could. Lima,
he Is not like his father, is he's he,
dear p
The wistful questioning of the weak,
low voice went to Lina's heart. She
seemed to see, for the first time, how
anxiously he had brought the child up
in their poverty, looking always forward
to his manhood.
ST should think his father. as q boy
must have been as unlike Jet as it is
possible for any boy to have been," she
answered, confidently.
"I think So hope so. wish Sir
Neil would come"
Then, almost as the words were ut
tered, Lima heard Sir Neil's step ON the
garden-path He came in quietly-a
resolute look upon his face, such as Ge-
rard had never seen there before.
"I did not know you were SO i'll, he
said, standing beside the couch and
slowly Withdrawing his eyes from Lima.
Then he ran his fingers through his
curls and looked longingly at the hat
which he had taken off and put down as
