all her fathers cruelties and neglect
she had chung to this shadow of him,
and often in her hours of sorrow, when
the days were darkest and her heart
heaviest, she looked on his face and re-
called all that he once had been to her.
Long and intently she scanned the
we'll remembered features, recalling
the times when he had taken her on his
knees, Rugged her to his breast and
kissed her with fathers fondest affec-
ton.
"Ah, father, father" she cried, in
deepest anguish, 'littlc did ever think
then that you could be so cold and I'M

think those lips that so often kissed
mine could be so cruel of speech.
Little did l dream that you could steel
your heart against mo and make me
less than stranger to you"
For long time Mary Green sat there
gazing on the picture she held in her
hand, her mind busy with fancies of the

even that shadow was flccting, for the
remembrance of the present brought a
cloud to drive it away, and the old sor-

Then Louise returned from the store,

TOBACCO MARKET EXCITED.

Prices in Connecticut Advance and q
Further Rise Expected.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 2-The Con-
necticut and Housatonic Valley tobacco
market is excited, and in the past ten
days prices have advanced three to eight
cents per pound over the range current
two weeks ago. A further rise is ex-
pected. Sales run from 10 to 30 cents,
and in one case 35 cents per pound has
been realized.
1t Is estimated that the 1890 domestic
crop of the United States will be short
$4,000 cases of the quantity of
wrappers required by manufacturers for
the current fiscal year, and that the
shortage Of the present year is twice as
large.
The cigar product for the year ending
June 30, 1893, is estimated at nearly five
billion cigars, exclusive of those wrap
ped with Havana leaf This will require
fifty million pounds of wrappers, where
as the 1891 crop cannot be over

Large quantities of Summarize wrap

twelve months, and growers can increase
their arceage at least 25 per cent. next

with embarrassment, don't act So
Let's not be children. Why, why it's

The old physicians tone and manner
were so frank, quiet and unprctentious,
that John was struck by them, and they
acted on him like q soothing potion. In
a little while he became calm again,
and as the doctor talked on, always in a
cheerful, confident tone, Johns spirits
revived and something of his fear and
dread forsook him.
