THE
.COIOqsI Of t5a Fourth
IS f story Of the Late Vars
BY BERNARD BIGSBY,
Author Of "Loyal at Last" "My
Lady Fantastic" sc.
CHAPTER XIV.
THE RIVER OF DEATF.

"Major Besant, let me congratulate
you. There is not man in the regi-
ment who does not hail your promotion
with pleasure, to say nothing of my
self, who have gained a step by your
good luck" cried the jovial Gregory,
grasping Franks hand with an en-
thusiastic energy that made him vince.
''But, what do you mean-are you
crazy, Jacl12" was the astonished de-
mand.
''Sane as a bench Of judgesl The
boys would hear of no mans name but
yours for the vacant post, and I'm glad
to say for once the popular cry was for
the right man in the right place, and
you are second-in-command of the
Fighting Fourth. Won't that be
scrumptious news to write and tell your
sweetheart?"
''It would, indeed, if it were true, but
I know you are chatting me-"
"Chafiing youl AS if I'd dare to chaff
a living Major-but here comes the
Colonel, and as he's promised me q
jobation for being late at roll-call, I'll
spare him the pain of an interview and
skip"
And when Colonel Hopkins, with a
smile of delight in his honest eyes,
grasped Franks hand and wished him
joy in his preferment, the young sol
der knew that the glorious but i'm.
probable news was true.
II can hardly believe it now, sir, !" he
stammered. 'What have done to de.
serve such honor?"
''Your duty, Frank" was the simple
answer.

OF a Tinplate Plant sent to Harrlson-H
Took 1t.
P1TrsDuna, Dot. 21.-Last week w. G
Croneneyer, of the United States iron and
steel tinplate works at Demmler, Pa, sem
Presidents Harrison a box of tin manufao-
tured at the Demmler works. This morn
ing Cronemeyer received the following let
ter FROM President Harrison, dated Wash
ington, Oct. 10:
"MyDear SRI have your letter of Oct
Is, and also the box of bright tinplate
which you sent as a specimen of the pro-
duct being turned out by the Unitod States
Iron n Tinplate company. I have no
skill in Determining the character Of this
work, but to the eye 1t seems to be emf
nently satisfactory and thank you for
this evidence that a new industry has been
established in the United States. cannot
quite understand how any American can
doubt that We have the mechanical skill and
business ~sagacity to establish successfully
here the manufacture of tinplate. No other
~ventive genius Of its citizens, or in the bus
mess sagacity of its capitalists.
III is surprising to me that any patriotic
American should approach this question
with a desire to see this great and interest
ing experiment fail, or with an unwilling
ness to accept the evidences of its success.
II will be a great step in the direction of
commercial Independence when We produce
our own tinplate. 1t seems to me that
nothing. unless it be q lack of faith in the
maintenance of the present law. can thwart
this desirable achievement. l can under
stand, however, that success should be
doubted, and our failure excepted with sat
iafaction in Wales, but / cannot understand
how any American can take that view of
the question, or why he should ALWAYS ap-
proach every evidence of the successful es-
tabllshment of this industry in this coun-
try with a disposition to discredit and re-
greet 1t. II the great experiment is to fail
our " people should not add to the NOR
tifcation of failure the crime of rejoicing
in it,"

The attorney for the bondholders an
neunced that he would file q petition fol
the removal of Receiver Hcgg, accompanied

THE Inter Mountain attempts to
make light of Congressman- Elect
Dixon's protest against tho tin tax q
year ago. The consumers Of the United
States have paid $s,OOo,oo0 in increased
duty on imported tin plate since the Nc
Kinley bin went into operation. Eight
million dollars is not a very large sum
divided among 100000 of people, per-
haps, and to a bi~llion~dollar congress it
is nothing at all, but it was an aggrega-
ton Of just such grabs that led to the
most awful defeat any party over re-
ceived. If the Inter Mountain is any
index, its party is getting ready for an
other drubbing of the same sort.

OF the strongest inclinations in the hu-
man mind, and in many forbiddng
ways persons seek to crafty this long.
ing for a knowledge of hidden things
There is only one legitimate means Of
gratifying this curiosity. and that is
by the study of Scripture prophecy.
The latest contribution to prophetical
literature" ,"Tre Advancing Kingdom"
is one OF the most interesting books
that have appeared on this subject.
Touching as it does a great variety
subjects, perhaps no careful student OF
prophecy would approve or adopt
every exposition which it contains
hut the general outlines of the subject
have the endorsement OF large mum
ber Of learned, intelligent and devoul
expositors OF the sacred Scriptures.

Of the author of "Tbe Advancing
Kingdom" will certainly attract many
readers, and the historical knowledge
EN- bodied in the b. ok, and the many
incidents OF interest there recounted
will doubtless engage the attention OF
many thoughtful students. The circu

vestigation and inquiry, and accom-
plish much good. We are confident
