had not told the tale
But Annie was not experienced In such
things, and she gave little heed to one
who, after all, was nothing to her
merely an instrument of Mr.. Holbrook.
She did wonder, however, why it W as
that he had gotten a coach SO close, and
one in which there were such small win
dows. 1t was so stuffy. The young man
did not obtrude himself. He was appar-
entity busy with memoranda and papers.
Once he lifted his head to say that ii
was necessary for them, in order to make
a quick trip, to pass through 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 notes
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-
tinued for some time:
II beg you will excuse me, Miss
Templeton. | know il is not the proper
thing to do, but l am suffering greatly
with my eyes this morning. Have
your permission to apply lotion tc
them?'
Wondering at the strangeness 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 plenHfully 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 a vigorous push on her
shoulder, the handkerchief was closely
pressed on her nose and mouth, and,
though she struggled Intellectually for a
time, unable TO make noise, she soon
lost all consciousness.

she was not displeased with the oppor-
tunity of spending an hour or two in the
society of her lawyer. His companion
ship had become agreeable to her, and
though she was far from admitting to
herself the idea of any especial fondness
for him, still the more she saw of him
the more welcome his visits became. He
was so strong. so comforting, and he
knew just what was the right thing to
do, and he had the faculty of lifting her
mother from the contemplation of her
griefs.

1t was bare Of everything save chair
and the bed on which she had lain.

Apparently there was no hope Of es-
cape She listened. She could hear no
sounds in the house. Only the noises
from the street.-the cries Of hawkers,
the shouts of children at play, the roll of
vehicles-all these came to her deadened
by the distance.
What was the meaning of her seizure
and confinement, she asked herself.
Who was the enemy of her family who
first killed her brother and then abducted
her? Why were these calamities so sud-
denly precipitated upon them, who had
always lived such quiet and uneventful
lives?
1t was problem too deep for her to
solve; she was not even aware OF an
enemy.
Her thoughts instinctively turned to
Holbrook. He would assist her il he
knew of her distress, and he would know
because of her failure to meet him as re-
quested.
All, thought! She had been trapped
by forged notes from him. She grew the
more frightened by the thought.
Oh, If she could but communicate
with Holbrookl She prayed heaven to
open a way.
"Hi, missy, hill"
A voice startled her. She looked in
every direction but the right one.
"Hi, missy, look up"
She did. In the roof there was 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.

His eyes danced with glee at the pros

she was quite sincere.

and she gave him the address-"andt tell

"Write it down, missy"

she ran hastily into the other room. She
snatched up the paper and tore a strip
from the margin, and catching up the
pencil on the table she wrote hurriedly:

photographers cannot give away or
sell photographs of their patrons with
out the permission OF the latter, says
the supreme court OF Minnesota in the
celebrated case of Mrs. Ida f. Moore
against Photographer A. b. Rugg. of
Minneapolis. This case is one of eS-
pecfal Importance. as it fixes the law of
the state, if not of the entire nation, on
that point, it being the first case of the
kind ever tried in this country. Mrs.
Moore, who is very handsome woman,
it is said, had Mr.. Rugg make some
photographs for her in 1887. A year
ago one Clark, detective in the en-
ploy of local detective agency in Min
neapolrs, was hired to watch Mrs.
Moore for the purpose of securing evil
dence in case afterwards tried in the
Mill City. This detective went to Mr..
Rugg and secured photograph of
Mrs. Moore, which the complainant
alleges that he was accustomed to ex-
hibit in various shady places through
attention of Mrs. Moore and suit was
forthwith commenced against Mr.. Rugg
by her attorneys. The defendant de
INJURED to the complaint, alleging thatit
did not state a cause of action. This
was overrufed by Judge Rea, and from
this an appeal was taken by Rugg.
In the brief of the defendants attor

is alleged that the plaintiff could not
suffer damages because OF her photo

to be very much elated over the fact
that the comptroller of tie currency has
designated Minneapolis as reserve
station for the deposit of surplus funds
by the other banks in this district. st.
Paul could have had that distinction a
year and half ago, had our bankers
consented. AS a matter of fact, there
isn't cent in it for the repositories,
and there is what the St. Paul bankers
consider an undesirable condition pre-
scribed-namely. that the banks Of
reserve station must keep at least 25 per
cent of the funds in reserve. Ordinarily
reserve fund of only 10 per
cent is all that is required,
and the only benefit that can accrue is
the reputation it brings to city. Re-
Gently the st. Paul bankers were re-
queSted to reconsider their former atti-
tude and accept the distinction without
emolument, and yesterday the bankers
accordingly held short session at which
it was unanimously agreed to accept the
trust under the national banking laws.
Consequently ST. Paul will soon be con-
stituted full-hedged reserve station.
