"Not quite sure. Used to belong to
old Sir Peter Lauriston, and he left it to
his nephew, young fool in the Black
Dragons, who went the pace and lost

A roar of laughter followed these
words. dared not glance at the figure

true!"
"Who was the lucky man3" asked the
first speaker.
"Sir Baxby Braccwell," said the elder
speaker, "but he paid the debt of nature
a couple or three years ago. 1t was said
that young Lauriston's losses would not

SAD DROWNING CASE.
Two Little Boys Perish in tho PRsgM&
 River Near Paterson.


 River Near Paterson.
 PATERSON, N. J., July 2.-John and Peter Sullivan, aged respectively 12 and years, the children of the superinten- dent of William Pennington's estate on the Passaic River, just above the falls at Paterson, were drowned within @ stone's throw of their fathers home, at 10:30 a. m.
 With the fathers consent Johnnie took his brother and little sisters for a row, as he had frequently done before. They proceeded up stream, and when about one hundred yards from the house, which was screened by the dense foliage, little Peter, who sat in the stern, tumbled backward into the stream.
 The boat was a short distance from the shore, but the water was six feet deep, and the little fellow sank at once. Johnnie dropped the oars, and sprang overheard to his brothers assistance, and when he came up the second time seized him and attempted to drag him ashore.
 The task was too great, however, and after brief but desperate struggle both sank together. Some young men on the opposite side of the stream swan across to the rescue, but arrived too late. They dove for the children and brought them ashore but life was ex- tinct.
 The father arrived just as the lads were placed upon the bank, and was frantic, and sorrow pervades the entire neighborhood. County Physician John son granted Q certificate of accidenta' death.

forget herself, and Emily borden never could so far forget him; and, Of course, the others did not. wonder what I'd better wear tonight feel so terri ply lowered by my visit to that placa and my interest in that man."
 "Your mockery does not hurt me-" returned Louisa, pulling again snap pishly at the bell; "you always reserve all your amiable conversation for gne."
 "You never talk of anything that care about" the younger sister an swered, with Q sound almost like Q sob in her voice. "You don't care for what I care for. You don't scorn the things scorn. IT suppose it never will be. <"
 "I wish strangers knew how very un- fascinating you are at times, remarked Louisa, stolidly, however different you may appear before them"
 "They will surely know it itpresently," rejoined Marjorie, very calm and cold again, "for constant information on the subject will fix it on their minds at last, and you will be rewarded-as all virtue is"
 The maid had entered the room by this time, and the sisters hardly spoke again, except to her, until they went down stairs together, the lamp-lght falling richly on them, glancing among the satin folds of Louisa's long white dress, and softening the harshness as well as Bubduing the haughtiness of her cold, regular features chasing away the weary look that had fingered so long on Mar iorie's piquant face, while it cast dainty sunset tinted rays on the thin pink dress which cost just one-sixth of what her sister had paid for hers, but to which the graceful eLdnce figure gave an elegance that was priceless. Then the elder sister said, with careless nonchalance "We shall have no co1tTetenlpS to- night, at any rate, for Miss Chester is not coming down. Why she ever should have come down among us, I cannot imagine. She is keeping her room for some mysterious reason or other."
 And Marjorie answered not @ word, but her steps slsckened and she fell be- hind. From the bottom of the wide, lighted staircase, Louisa looked up with a sheer on her lips, but the girl was fol- lowing, though slowly; following with her gloved hand on the balusters, hum, ming softly as she came. Seeing her so- and having no legitimate cause of com- plaint, Miss Castillain went on and en- tered the drawing room alone.
 Then suddenly the gay i,aSouciGnce left Marjorie's face, the notes died on her lips. With swift, light steps she as- cended the stairs again, and at Lina's door bent her mouth to the keyhole, entreatiHg to be let in, The voice, true and bright and earnest, carried 8 mes sage of hope as we'll as pity to the deso- late girl within, who sat alone, shivering with fear in the shadow of a coming trouble.

CHAPTER XII.

Fitz Spendir, stopping over his work at the cottage window that evening, stopped his low, clear whistling for minute, and raised his head, intent and listening. Presently he bent it once more over the block which he was pre- pairing for the engraver, and whistled again, this time only four clear notes, which made call.
 "An right, dad-what is it?"
 The call had been answered promptly enough, for the child he summoned came instantly into the open doorway between the two rooms, and stood there wiping his hands on a small brown towel.
 "Look on the chimney-piece, Jet" said the artist, going on with hls work. There is a sixpence and three pennies. Take the pennies to that fellow at the gate. He does not look very saint-like, but penny or two can't make him worse, any more than the torrent of abuse he's had next door can make hin better."

Mr.. EDITo, AND FRIENps.-I had re-
solved to take short vacation for at least
this week, fro. the columns of the TINES,
but on thinhg%it over 1 cannot refrain
from putting 4 ny little .'say," although 1
oftep expect 7n5s- esll out, as the
ing'duIsf lll & P9 enoncy when a he
called back fr( pposito end, "P' what
air ye jabbehg?" Nkd too, will try,
for the Editd threatened to sue me for q
'breach of bmise," and that would be
fatal to youk man of my modest nature.
And ], thotht that with the dawn of the
new year woY come more new writer's, or
the renewed fesence of those writer's who
seem to be reted. / will say that would
like to hear FIN them. So come, brethren
and sisters, tho have moro than once
favored us VII your letters, and let us
converse tog4er, and to the county by
means of prinf's iuk, and don't stop now,
for it may no8e long until our pens will be
laid aside fore3r. We have now the assu-
rance that VI do help some people. We
help the editol and believe we help others,
by giving ttIh news to read. You who
write, help NJ by giving me the news of
your sectiouS9d also your ideas. And
what do We w}fSrt 1t is not because we
arc all brillAl n >poished writers one
can readily iag g the space al

but to SUN i IS Help tho paper, and
that helps I'll 81 b, ifthey will only accept
the help. AHgards conyersing with cor

feel as if aIalkiug to friends in various
parts of the cdnfy, where time and distance
forbids me se(g or talking to personally,
much as wdd like to--the ladies Of my

confidence PIE In my friends of reading

dence. And Hope, TOO, the presumption
that am now jdulg ng in, if you please to
call it so, is pajonable, and ask my friends,

WHO CARES 4

Who Jeehngly cares whom monopoiies,

II matters nothing to the trader, for he
buys and soils in the market, and makes
h!= profits without regard to price. The
middleman snly wants his commission, and
gets it.
The banker and money lender have. no.
concern about the price Of produce, foe.
money brings certain per cont. rate Of.
interest, whether cotton is 8 or l5 cents per
pound.
These classes produce nothing. They
only trade on what other people produce,
and live on the profits made in the traffic.
But to the farmer-the man who raises
the articles which give rise to al the trade
ofths country-to him alone the price Of his
products is all important.
