and offer your stock as collateral for a
Loan
"But don't want to lose the stock. :"
"You don't have to lose it. After
you've made the loan let the fellow hear
that Two stepped out and that the whole
thing has fallen into nothing. Let him
get it quietly, like a straight tip. Then
have friend of yours go round to him
and pick up your paper at about five
per cent. on the dollar. You pay your
friend a small commission and you'll be

To do Russell Justice he was shocked
by this proposition, and he continued to
regard it as temptation of Satan till
about the middle of August, when he
got very hard up, and worked the
scheme on a confding gentleman named
James Remington. That is to say, he
negotiated the loan with the knowl-
edge that probably no other way out OF
the difficulty would present itself ex-
cept that which Ray had suggested. Not
only was his conscience disturbed by
this affair, but he was tormented by the
fear that John Deering would hear of
it. Deering had kept out OF sight OF
Ray according to agreement, but he had
called frequently on Russell to ask how
things were getting along. The first
time, ne had come with paper for
Russell to sign.
Il was an agreement which put their
relations into the form of a contract,
terminable on the violation Of certain
obligations. Among them was pledge
that no stock-jobbing operations should
be carried on in connection with the en-
terprise. Deering had begun to be sus-
picious.
81 wouldn't have this machine OF
mine used to further the designs OF dis
honesty, said he. eff there's going to
be anv crooked work shall have to put
my foot on it"
Russell did his best to reassure Deer
ing. He described his own moral char
acter in terms which made up in COM
prehensiveness what they lacked in
substantiation. Then he cautiously
disclosed the secret of Rays connection
with the enterprise, and said few
words about him which ought to have
been saved for his obituary notice. But
Deering did not seem to be impressed.
ST don't think much Of those brokers, :
said he, sand his connection with this
affair only makes me the more anxious.

Somehow, he was more than usually
glad to go, although his conscience ex.
erted feeble restraining force. Why
was ito Rays favorable view of him as

him. He had no shadow of all idea that
he should ever take advantage of It,
But that ''word of encouragement" as
Ray had called it, was matter of a very
differeno nature. Could Ray possibly
have given such a hint on any weaker
grounds than absolute certainty? Fa
Their and daughter were on terms of tina
closest confidence. Russell had often
observed it, with a feeling that the mill
ionaire had been blessed in other good
things than dollars. Ray should know
the state of his daughters heart as soon
as she did herself, and if he said that
she thought kindly Of man it should
be infinitely encouraging.
There was only one ground for doubt,
aud it lay in the old fellows firm belief
that he knew very nearly every thing
that was passing in the minds of those
about him. He was one of those men
who believe that their eyes are electric
search lights which they can turn upon
the souls of others and expose all hidden
things.

the summer. This cordiality would
have amazed him if the extraordinary

for almost any thing. He accepted most

PEARL BUTTONS.

The pearl button industry, which was the subject of much ridicule by Demo- cratic orators awhile ago, has been again heard from. A few years ago there were over twenty pearl button factories in Newark, New Jersey, employing thousands of men at eood wages. When the duty on foreign buttons was reduced three-fourths of these factories were closed, while in those which continued in operation there were repeated reductions of wages. The increase of duty has already caused many of the closed factories to reopen, and be- fore the end of the year they will be run ming again as prosperously as before. The labor on pearl buttons represents 90 per cent. of the cost It is all skilled hand work and the wages range from S15 to S35 week. Most of the large factories are in Philadelphia and Newark. Mir Thomas A. Webb, button manufacturer of Newark, says: have just ordered new machinery, and shall double my working my men asked for an advance of 15 per cent. in their wages, and they didn't have to ask twice. They got it. They have been making, while at work, from $12 to $15. Now they will get as high as SIS and will have steady work. I already feel the effect of the new law in the orders coming in, but the real benefits will come by and by. You see, the importers had plenty of warning of the tariff law and they laid in big stocks of imported but tons-enough to last for some months.
 The Democrats will have to read a good deal of such news as this between now and the presidential election. It will hurt their feelings, but it won't hurt the coun- try as place to live in.

Poker Game Between STecumPs
 and s'Pete'' with Six Kings Out.
 From the San Francisco Examiner.1
 There was big celebration by the Grand Army, and as special train full of mem bers from New York passed Elizabeth, N. J., tall, gray-headed man entered one of the cars and took seat next to com mitteeman who was decorated with more badges and medals than French field marshal.
 ';Going down to the jamboree, comrade." asked the committeeman. "Yes, sir," said the tall man.
 'In the war, ehG"
 "All through" replied the newcomer, with smile.
 "Of course you were with Grant" said the New York member, with humorous wink.
 ''Part of the time." Well, was with Sherman-Atlanta to i the sea, you know. Many's the jolly night spent playing poker with old Te- cump. He couldn't play worth 8 dern, though"
 Couldn't ehs" said the gray-haired vet eran, with interest.
 "No; it was like finding money. Pve 8 great mind to tell the boys of little incl dent that occurred during the great march, but as the old man is to be there himself tonight, guess it wouldn't do."
 'tI shouldn't mind that"
 "Well, dunno. You see, it was like this: Just after we struck the Weldon railroad we had @ fight. About noon it held up little and Sherman and borrow ed drum from the band for a table and went into the house for little game of draw.
 ''Oh, you see fighting was chestnut there in those days, while poker was good deal. Well, I horsed the old man pretty bad and when at last he opened.a jackpot he was about cleaned out, 50 he wrote out his pay receipt for the next month and and threw it in the pot. I raised him $200. Just then a bullet dipped through the drum and the action was underway again.
 "The old man jumped up. tPete,' he says-Tecump always called me Pete Pete, we can't play this hand just now, but we'll finish it after the scrimmage. Here, I'll put my hand under this stone and put yours in that hollow log We did go and rushed for our horses"
 "Hot fight that" said the tall veteran reflectively.
 ssYou bet. Every time I got near the general he'd stand up in his stirrups, wave his sword and yell, "A hundred better Pete,' I'd holler back, "A hundred better nor you.' It was most night before hs cbaled me, and then the pot was 8 coupl, , . of thousand. After supper we went out

STRONC-HOLCOMB-SHERIDAN.

STRONG-HOLCOM LCOMB-SHERIDAN
 We print this morning on another page interviews with number of prominent gentlemen who heartily indorse the excel lent school ticket composed of Messrs. Strong, Holcomb and Sheridan. What they say concerning it is well worth the attention of those who have been asked, or may be asked, to vote for other candidates.
 A number of attempts to construct an other ticket have failed, but we are in formed that, if nothing happens to pre- vent, there will be another ticket in the field. There is no need of any, and if there is another it will simply be put together in the interest of MT. OBrien, who wants another term in the board. It seems to us that the wisest thing for the voters to do is to vote the Strong -Holcomb-Sheridan ticket and to vote it straight. It was first in the field. No better one can be presented, and it is not probable that one anywhere near as good will be. Everybody knows that the members of it can be safely intrusted with the business of the schools. There is no "issue" this year except the election of good men.

The quail of the desert is also put to another use. It is exceptionally rapid in flight and strong on the wing, and is beginning to be much used in shoot ing matches. Quails for this purpose are carefully brought 6ver alive and give, it is said, excellent sport.

Subsequently he had severe convulsions. He had simply been hypno- tized by being made to look at diamond ring, and afterward the sight of anything gistening threw him into 8 state of vio- lent excitement. He was treated with various remedies, but at first showed no improvement. After ten days the convul- sive attacks were replaced by periods during which he sang persistently; he would sing every song he knew without stopping. After a fortnight of this he had high temperature for several days, and altogether was very i'll for three weeks.
