CHAPTER x.
HOW WILL 1T END?

1t was some minutes before Captain Lang
ton collected himself sufficiently to cross the
room and speak to Miss Hastings. She look
ed up at him with smile.
81 am afraid you have not had very
pleasant time of it at that end of the room,
Captain Langton," she said; II was just on
the point of interfering"
your pupil is most extraordinary young
lady, Miss Hastings" he returned; II have
never met with any one more So"
Miss Hastings laughed; there was an ex-
preston of great amusement on her face.
"She is magnifcently handsome" he con-
tinued; 'but her manners are simply start
ling"
''She has very grand qualities" said Miss
Hastings; ''she has noble disposition and a
generous heart, but the want of early train
ing, the mixing entirely with one class of So
ciety, has made her very strange"
stranger cried the captain. Il have
never met with any one so blunt, so out
spoken, so abrupt, in all my life. She has
no notion of repose or polish. l have never
been so surprised. 1 hear Sir Oswald COM
ing, and really, Miss Hastings, feel that l
cannot see him; [ am not equal to it-that
extraordinary girl has quite unsettled me.
j Ou llldt nave SoIlO oul
the grounds to smoke my cigar; cannot talk
to any one"
Miss Hastings laughed as he passed out
through the open French window into the
grounds. Sir Oswald came in, smiling and
contented: he talked for few minutes with
Miss Hastings, and heard that the captain
was smoking his cigar. He expressed to
Miss Hastings his very favorable opinion of
the young man, and then babe her good
night.
''How will it end?' said the governess to
herself. ''She will never marry him, am
sure. Those proud, clear, dark eyes of hers
look through all his little airs and graces;
her grand soul seems to understand all the
narrowness and selfishness of his. She will
never marry him. Oh, if she would but be
civilized! Sir Oswald is quite capable of
leaving all he has to the captain, and then
what. would become of Pauline?"

Smile With Your Eyes.

There is one big don't" which nine
tenths of womankind might with ad, an
tage hang over their dressing-tabes, and
it is this: Don't smlle perpetually." Is
there anything more wearisome than the
person who ceaselessIy expands and con-
tracts the lips over the teeth, without mirth
or meaning, for that is what the continual
smile eventually becomes? Let any wom-
an stand before the mirror and attempt to
produce an animated smile of welcome
She will be surprised at the witless
grimace that will respond. That is what
smiling is with no soul behind it. Learn
to smile with the eye. and keep the mouth
and facial lines in repose. We speak of
the pleasing gravity of the Orientals.
This is the secret OF ia kindly light in
the eye. with quiet expression of the
face. Let her and MIN who will initiate it.

CONTESTED ESTATE.
Trouble Brewing Over the Property of
Late Eau Claire Man.


EAU CLAIRE, Special Telegram, Dec.
"A sensation is brewing in connection
with the Qvale estate. Sievald Qvale
knew he was going to die of consumption,
50 fearing a will would be of no use, he
had his wife join him in transferring TO
George Qvale, his brother Alfred
Cypreansen and Lewis Larson. all his
property, supposed to be worth not
less than one million dollars,
except a few thousand dollars
which was given to the wife. The three
men named were organized oy Mr.. Qvale
into tie Ideal Land & Loan company and
it was given out that ~ Qvale's last re-
quest they were to use the proceeds of
the estate to build a magnificent charity
hospital at Madison, but there is no power
on earth but their own free will to make
them do it.
Now il is learned from, most excellent
authority that Ms. Qyale will sue the
three men named and try to recover a part
or the whole of the property. Mrs. Qvale
gave birth to son after her husband S
death and the posthumus child is not pro-
vided for. None of the parties will make
any statement for publication.
Mr.. Larson is city comptroller Of West
Superior.
A terrific wind visited Lodi, blowing
down the large curling rink which was
being constructed few miles east of that
place.
Hiram Moody, citizen of Viroqua for
nearly forty years, died, aged about 80.
Paralysis caused his death.

Mixed Diet for Hogs.

Glover hay, cut fine and cooked or scald-
ed, makes an excellent mess for the hogs,
especially if spall quantity of meal be
spriAhlcd over it. The hogs should have

mixed diet. A hog fed on varied ration
will fatten as readily as on corn alone and
the meat will be of better quality, but corn
should enter largely into the ration.

Sometimes the facility with which we

son against our inclinations. Those things
which we have arrived at as wrong, or at
least doubtful, by a reasoning process, it
is usually safest to avoid. But those
things which we have arr we'd at as right
after such efforts at reasoning are-often
to be avoided also.-S. S. Times.

In Minneapolis young lady teachers sign
a contract upon being engaged by the
school board. That document contains a
clause invalidating the contract in case the
teacher weds. One fair creature recently
abandoned the state of single bliss and
she was promptly excused from further
service. The board contends that married
women are failures as teachers insofar as,
having other means of support, they lose
interest in their work.

come scattered through the community,

Apples that do not keep we'll in winter
should be converted into cider, and then
into vinegar. Some varieties of apples
will not keep over winter under any sys-

vested they will be loss. Good cider
vinegar, however, is always in demand,
and it will keep until favorable time for

Sometimes, tombstones give strange Ideas

strollipg about among the deserted graves
in an old burying ground at Littleton, N.

from tombstone. He writes that he was
walking aimiessly when his attention was
attracted by the sight of two grave close

Disinfectants.

Disinfectants cost but little. An ounce
Of su'phuric acid in a gallon of water will
destroy the germs of all diseases with
which it comes in contact, and can be
sprayed over quite a space. A pound Of
copperas, costing three cents, dissolved in
two gallons of water, will destroy many

WHITES FAILURE.
Nothing Definite known as to
EeeSumDtiOn.

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-Quietness reigned in
the office of ). V. White q Co. this morning,
but the clerks were hard at work on the
books getting out q trial balance sheet. When
that would be ready, however, could not be
told. 1t was said it would be some days. be-
cause il was not yet known how all the
trades were closed out i'll Chicago. Mr..
White was at the Office, but did not care to
see reporters or make any further statement
in relation to his failure. 1t was said ne was
not in condition of health to fatigue him
self more than was necessary. Speaking for
him, his private secretary said that nothing
definite could be stated about his resuming
business, but in any case that could not be
until a settlement had been effected with the
creditors. The wish. however. had been very
generally expressed that he might resume
business as soon as possible.
1t was declared that although Mr. White
had not involved any one else in his failure,
he had lost the whole of his fortune, having
put up every penny of it. There might be
something left after the payment of the loans
which had been all well margined. Not one
OF the banks OF trust companies which had
the loans would lose a penny, and as they
had all said they had no desire to sell out at
this time, while there was chance for I'M
provement ii was quite possible something
might be saved from the wreck.
Charles ". Gould, the assignee, said there
was nothing new in relation to the affairs OF
the firm 10 communicate to the public. 1t
might be fully twenty days before state
ment OF the hrm atfalr could be got ready
Regarding the probable resumption of
Mr. While, Mr.. Gould said there could
be no doubt that he would be able
to resume business, but any statements to
the effect that he would be able TO resume
Immediately were mere friendly coniectures.
MIR. Gould added that the task of ascertain
ing the exact situation was of course imped-
ed by the fact that there was a receiver for
the branch house in Illinois, and that each
one had TO act independently, and yet both

New York.

NEW YORK, Sept 24.-The announce
ment in regard to the Missouri Pacific divi-
dend to-day caused general surprise, and for
a short time CONSERVATION, while the i'm
mediate effect on Missouri Pacific and the
rest of the Gould stocks was demoraliZing.
The whole market felt the depressing effect.
1t was surprising how stubborn the resist
ance to the bad break was and how quickly
many stocks recovered when given a chance
to show the strength of the present upward
movement in prices.
The opening was irregular and excited, and
the weakness i'll Missouri Pacific was most
pronounced at the outset, and per cent was
Knocked off its price within the first hour.
The rest of the market was dragged down,
and. while the decline was steady under the
pressure to sell from the frightened holders
and triumphant bears the resistance III view
of the nature of the depressing force was re-
markable. Over AGO, 900 shares changed hands
III the forenoon, and after that time there
was comparative quiet i'll the market with
some slight recoverieS, although the market
remained feverish throughout In the last
hour, however, there was a renewal of the
DEPRESSING influence, and the transactions
again assumed enormous proportions, While
prices melted away rapidly. Missouri Pacific
took another dip and touched 65 against
74I2 last evening, while Union PACING
dropped to 40, and many others, including
Lackawanna, showed marked weakness.
Stocks. which had throughout the forenoon
resisted the decline now gave way and Can
ada Southern fell away per cent from its
best figure.
The market under the continued pressure
closed very active and weak at about the bot
tom figures of the day. The losses were very
material and significant among the leading
shares. Missouri Pacific showing a decline to-
night of 9Ss per cent. Union Pacific 35s, Wa
bash preferred 27a, Cordage "a, North Amer

CHICAGO, Sept 24.-The board of trade mar
kets were unsettled to-day. Wheat started
higher, but New Workers had big selling or
ders here and the local crowd soon got sus-
picious, and the buying became very eau
tious. st. Louis was also selling, and the
Northwest joined in, and dispatches reported
general weakness abroad.
The result was that the tone here quickly
changed to weakness, and there was steady
drop of 1c in December. On the bresk there
was some covering and a reaction of 1c, but
an easy feeling again prevailed for time
During the last hour there was good deal
of talk of dry weather which was seriously
retarding blowing and seeding i'll the winter
wheat district.
Berlin cables showed an advance of &c in
that market, with London and Liverpool a
trile better, Antwerp firm and Paris I'M
changed. Sellers drew out of the market,
early shorts tried to cover, and this led to
strength. December opened at 9S409Sl2c.
against 9Sssc at close yesterday, broke steadi-
~ to 97l2c. reacted to 9SI1c, receded to 977Sc,
rallied to 9es5c and closed at 9elSc.
Corn was weak early on account of the
continued warm weather; the Cincinnati

of the crop is out of danger from
frost, and that the total crop will
amount to 1890, o00,00O Blu. and to the
kers in the late corn deal were suspected of
efforts to liquidate some long corn fer his ac
count. October started 14c higher, at 4914c,
touched 40$sc, but turned downward at once
to 477sc; later the selling pressure was re-
moved and prices reacted some, and October
sold up 20 494c, eased off to 4ss4c, grew firm,
and closed at 1880.
Oats fiuctuated with wheat ard corn, but
the movement was confined 10 q range of
l2c.
Hog products were inclined to weakness,
with the result or decline of 10 to 15c in
pork and 7l2c in lard and ribs.
