Austrian ''society,' as we sarcastical-
" term the smallest and most insignifi-
cant class of useless humanity, is the
most exclusive and the most aristocratic
in the world and it does not admit un-
titled foreigners. The evening party,
the state dinner, the round of visits, why
repeat the dolefoul list so familiar to us
all, are therefore not for us. We may
know individuals here and there, a di-
plomat with Graf before his name, a
prince, who is interested in strange
species, artists, musicians, the premiere
danseuse at the opera, who will meet one
at supper in the modestest ofgray gowns
and the sweetest of English accents.
Mariana Brandt will perhaps take cup
of tea with these good Americans the
evening she sings Fidelia, or Lucca, who
is in retirement here, may bid US to

women with their gracious smiles and

another affair [Courant correspondence.

The fact that, for the last two or three years,
because of short crops in the West and eonss-
quent difficulty of making collections, while some
mortgage and trust companies have been forced
to the wall, this company's assets have been
constantly increasing, is evidence that investors
were right in their estimate of them as careful
and conservatives; indeed many of their largest
loans backed by second mortgage placed
by strong company. The abundant crops in
the West mean a return of prosperity and lower
rates of interest soon. This company is about to
issue a year 8 per cent. Debenture. Parties
wishing to avail themselves of the 10 per cent.
guaranteed Debenture will need to make an early

with your intentions toward that girl,
and I promise you that Blatchford
shall be informed of it without delay"
"Blatchford! What does he care?
Do you suppose he'd bother his head
about daughter of one Of these poor
settlers whom he owns body and soul!
Pshaw, he don't care what they do, or
what becomes Of them, so long as he
has their mortgages. Write to Blatch-
ford, if you want to, and see what good
it will do you"
AS Pearson delivered himself Of these
words he kept a close watch on Scraggs'
features, and though he spoke conf
dently and with the utmost indiffer-
ence, he was greatly disturbed.
He was in constant dread lest
something should transpire to re-
veal to Scraggs the relation existing
between Blatchford and the Greens.
BE became satisfied on the present oe-
casion, however, that Scraggs had as
vet received no intimation Of the truth,
and he breathed easier. But Scraggs'
threat to write TO lHatehford disturbed
him. He knew that it was not idly
~: !e. and he also knew that II he did
writ- the whole truth would come out,
and. ncartles SIS as old Blatchford was, 1t
was hardly possible that he would sat
quietly with folded hands and permit
his granddaughter's ruin.
Such thoughts as these occupied Pear
sons mind, and he saw the necessity OF
conciliating the iratc agent.

pic Of fools. I don't care anything for

DO you swear" said Scraggs, that
you arc speaking the truth?''
"Why. yes. if you wish it" Pearson
replied unblushingly.
Then you will perhaps not nindlet-
ting me have Green's note.
No. I wouldn't, if had it. Mills il

know q: their whereabouts, and come

Cheap School Books.

There is no question about it our
school books cost too much, and we
are glad to know that there is a proba'
bility OF the people being able soon to
buv them cheaper. The matter OF great
est Importance that came up before the
State Board CT School Examines at Its
recent meeting in Columbia was the re-
port of tAe superintendent OF Educa-
ton, touching his efforts to secure re-
duction in the prices OF the books on
the State list. The report shows con-
siderable reduction made from the orig
inal prices. For instance, Wecsters
Academic Dictionary IS reduced from
Sl.75 to $3.50. Most OF the firms cor,
responded with wrote that they would
sell books to dealers at 20 per cent. dis
count so that they could be reta!led at
the reduced prices. Various firms write
that they are ready at al times to CO.
operate with the board in any measure
to remedy the high prices at which To-
cal dealers are selling books. As to the
best means of securing sale at reduced
retail prices. Mr.. Maylleld suggested
that an official bulletin be hung IN
each school giving the prices OF BOOKS
together with a statement to the effect
IT if the books are not furnished
thereat by local book sellers they could
be procured at publishers rates.

CHAPTER XVII.
THR SERPENT AND HIS AGENT:


The reader may be inclined to think
it little strange that Scraggs should
manifest such decided interest in mat
ter that did not at all affect him. But,
as has been said, Scraggs was a man Of
heart, and he was great friend of vir-
tue. Besides, he was man Of strong
impulses, and his likes and dislikes
were extremely pronounced. From the
moment he came to know Harry Pear
son in his true characterize had disliked
him, and the instant he became cogni-
zant Of Pearson's intentions relative to
Louise Green, he resolved to thwart
them if possible. And it may be added
that Scraggs was man who, once hav-
ing formed a purpose, never abandoned
it until he had reached the end.
Thus may the interest Of Scraggs in
this affair of Green's be accounted for
to the satisfaction, no doubt, of all.
1t was late when Scraggs arrived
home, ard it was impossible for him to
do ausht that day, but at an early hour
the next morning he repaired to Nills'
Office. None of the great army OF loan
seekers who visited Mills Office every
day had made their appearance yet, and
Scraggs found that worthy alone, and
in very few words stated tie object OF
his visit, which was to purchase John
Green's note.
81 am sorry, Mr.. Scraggs," Mills re-
piled promptly, "but cannot asesn'
modate you with the note"
why not?' Scraggs asked.
Because loan money as a business,
and if there is profit in it want it."
Certainly, Mr.. Mills. I did not eS'
pect you to sell the note at its face
value"
"You didn't? Then you are willing
to pay a premium?"

John looked at Scraggs in 4 dazed
way for some time, evidently hating
between two opinions or else mixed up
in a medley of ideas. ScragGe-s manner
and delivery were SO earnest that it was
hard to believe him insincere, but on
the other hand it was equally hard to
think OF Pearson as an unprincipled
ibertine after all his unostentatious
kindness. Another man might have
