The StoWAW8y.

A very small boy stole ride on train
running out Of Jersey City the other
day. When two men took their seats
they heard slight snifae beneath them,
and one of them, looking around, found
a boy hardly bigger than q pound Of tea
lying On the floor, shielded from sight by
the reversed backs Of two seats, which
formed tent over him. OF course, the
men did not inform the trainmen that
they were carrying stowawsy.
Indeed, one man was inclined to clip
twenty-five cents down to the little
rogue. Men always seem to like young
sczmps The child was still beneath
the seats when the two men got of
the train. He was still shifting, too;
perhaps from a prickiing conscience;
perhaps from fear Of the vigorous shak-
ing which he knew would be fuathcom
ing when he was dtscDvered-New

But Scraggs' threat to write to Blatchford disturbed him He knew that it was not idly made, and he also knew that if he did write the whole truth would come out, and, hcartless as old Blatchford was, it was hardly possible that he would sit quietly with folded hands and permit his granddaughtcr's ruin.
 Such thoughts as these occupied Pear sons mind, and he saw the necessity of consolidating the irate agent.

TIE CHRISTIAN AID SOCIETY.
CHAPTER XIX.

TIE CHRISTIAN AID SOCIETY.
 It is due Hiram Blatchford to state that he was totally ignorant of the whereabouts of his daughter. He knew, it is true, that she was somewhere in Kansas, but he had not the remotest idea in what part of the state. It is also due him to say that he never re- ceived the letter written him by the old doctor at the beginning of Mary's sick ness. Whether it would have made any difference in the condition of the Greens if Blatchford had known of their whereabouts and condition, is a ques- tion that must go unanswered, but true Christian charity says give him the benefit of the doubt.
 However Blatchford might have act ed on the knowledge of his childs dis tress, Sarah Blatchford felt it to her | interest to sec that such knowledge did not reach him, and accordingly the good old doctors letter never went be- yond her hands.
 She had long feared that a communi- cation from the Greens might come to her husband, and not feeling sure that his heart would be proof against his daughters pleas, if she should choose | to make any, Mrs. Blatchford be- thought herself of the precaution of keeping any such letter from Blatch- ford's hands. So, in pursuance of this idea, she arranged to have all the pri- vate mail delivered at the house, and when the doctors letter came to hand with it's Kansas postmarl1, she rightly | judged that it related to the Greens, and forthwith she opened it and read its contents.
 The letter told pitiable tale of woe, for it portrayed in plain colors the sad condition of Mary Green, sick and pow erty-striclxen as she was, and ended with plea to the obdurate father in behalf of his suffering daughter. Such

this life for better ona suppose nc' sane person would hesitate an instant to do that"
 ''Then will you make the exchange@" he asked
 "That is impossible, MT. Pearson," she replied quietly, totally ignoring the meaning of his question. "At least l cannot hope for such thing for long time.''
 He felt that the time had come to speak out. Yet he hesitated. What he had supposed an easy task he found most difficult. He was reckless, hon. orless and heartless, but still he quailed before this innocent girl - this girl whom he loved to desperation. Away from her presence he could deliberate on his plan without qualm of con- science, but her sweet face, her clear, honest eyes disarmed and confused him. He felt small and mean, and the little spark of manhood in him made an eff fort to assert itself. For an instant he was overwhelmed with the heinous- ness of his intended crime, and there was a short conflict between his better and baser natures, but the latter being master of him soon asserted itself and crowded out all sense of shame and re- gret.
 ''If were free," he unused, ''1 would make this girl my honest wife, but l am not free and cannot become so, and all can do is to make her my wife in all save the name. In some faraway spot where no one knows us or can ever

 Retailers Protesting.

Retailers Protesting.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-There is deal of grum mbGng among the retail cigar and cigarette dealers of this city, and it is possible that an extensive boycott will be instituted against the wholesale deal CTS and manufacturers very shortly. This will, of course, mean that no more cigarettes will be smoked in New York for long time, and the retailers declar @ that they will positively refuse to handle students lamps" until the manufac- turers reduce the price to it's original standard.
 The American Tobacco Company raised the price of cigarettes 20 cents a thousand the first of the month. This company is a combination of these firms: W. Duke, Sons & Go. of New York Kinney 6 Co.,, Goodwin & Co.,, Duke Sons & Co.,, Durham, N. O.; Allen & Ginter of Richmond, Va, and w. s. KimbalI & Co.,, of Rochester. These are the leading cigarette manufacturers of the country.

promises of riches to lead me to be- come your wife. I am poor and have known little enough of pleasure, God knows, but I am not so poor that would sell my heart, my life, my hap piness and my hope of eternity. The man love need offer no wealth to in duce me to become his wife, and no man whom do not love need think me base enough to be influenced by such an offer. I respect you, MT. Pearson, for the sake of what you have done for those love. I feel under a thousand obligations to you, but do not and can not love you. My heart is another's, and when marry my hand shall go where my heart is."
 The girls reply, though far from what the generality of lovers would wish, was not displeasing to Pearson. It was more than he had dared to hope for, since he knew that she did not love him, and he was satisfied that she eX- pressed for him respect and pity.
 ''She respects me-" he unused, land that will make my victory easy. She will bow to the inevitable and will ac cede to my wishes all the more readily because of that. It would be hard to force her to sacrifice herself to man she did not even respect. I am satis- fed with my progress so far, and it only remains to be seen which is the stronger, her love for herself or her love for her father and mother"
 Aloud Pearson said:
 Forgive me, Miss Green, for presun- ing to utter such sentiments. I did not mean to say what my words imply. Far be it from me to suggest that your heart can be won by such things as offered. I only meant to say what would do for you in order to show you the depth of my affection. Will you forgive me, Miss Green, and think of my words only as meant them?"
 q hold no ill feeling, MT. Pearson, ' said Louise, promptly, land I will not think the less of you for what you have said. The subject is one unpleasant to me, and to continue it can be of no ben eft to either of us, so let us drop it, ii you please"
 Pearson acceded readily to this re- quest, since to continue the conversa tion longer at that time would by nc means enhance his interest. He felt that he had accomplished all that could be accomplished previous to his finish ing stroke. Of course, in the mean time he could go on gaining her respect by his services in behalf of her parents but to her he would say nothing moro of his love, and he would make no more direct efforts to win her consent to hi proposal.
 Louise, anxious to escape Pearson' company, expressed wish to return home, and accordingly they walked back to the cabin. Neither had mucl to say, and save for few desultory commonplace remarks, the walk passeC in silence.

 Pearson stopped.
