been cut OF 30 suddenly. But there ~,
something In her words which made
Russeu's heart beat strangely. Surely
not thus would she have heard what hi
had told her IL she had ever loved O,
could have loved his friend.
The following days brought no new
facts regarding the death of Brown. OK.
cept a general confirmation of the re.
port There was no ground for hope,
and Russell reflected sadly that he had
lost friend in the hour Of his utmost
| need.
For all things were not well with him.
He had been making a strong effort to
stem the tide. and could make some
Roadway, but the time was short, and
the debts which must be met were
heavy and pressing. However, he had
had good fortune in one or two invest
ments recommended by Ray, and with
care might hope to make an even show
ing in his personal accounts before long.
But after that, what? He did not
know; and, if the truth must be told, At
times he did not care. Yet now and
then the life he had been leading, with
its luxury and leisure, would take hold
upon him. True, he had found little
satisfaction in it, but could he not do
better with longer opportunity? he
shuddered to think of a return to the
monotonous existence he had led two
years before. and yet, in all his ponder
ing on the problem which confronted
him, he was conscious of feeling that
all things were uniting to push him
back into the old way. At such times
he would remember the wish he had
made to borrow this luxurious life for
two years, and the thought that he
should be ready to deliver it up when
the time expired. Had that wish been
granted, and was the creditor, fate, to
call him to speedy account? He hoped
he might be ready TO meet the demand,
but there was still much to be done.
1t has appeared to some men that an
attempt to turn over a new leaf was o
signal never neglected by the spirit of
malevolence. Russell had often exper-
fenced this sensation. And now. when
he had hope that the time allowed him,
though short, would suffice to enable
him at least to free himself from pecuni-
ary obligations. came the browning mis-
fortune Of all. Deering demanded the
invention. He accused Russell of cor
tain manipulations of the stock for
which, in reality, Ray was respon-
sible. Deering said that such operations
would ruin the company, and he init
mated that such was the intention, in
order that the interest which would
soon revert to him might be cheaply pur-
chased.
In vain Russell endeavorsd to show
him the true state of the case. The man
was as hard as cast-steel pinion in his

Ray seemed relieved.

One Of US had to go down. I was going

up and nothing could stop me. He hada
strong tendency in the other direction.

own machine. He would take the mat
ter into the courts. Russell had no
heart for such contest. He promised
that in q weeks time he would deliver
over all his title and his books, and with
this promise Deering grumblingly con-
scented to be satisfied.
And SO Russell was brought face to
face with his destiny. If it had come
naturally at the time which he had kept
in mind, he might have met it with res
ignation, but this hurry of fate seemed
like personal injury, and it embittered
him. In this emergency his mind turned
to Alice, not gently as he had often
thought of her in their last days when
his better impulses were awakened, and
all seemed traceable to her, but in .
way of which he was inwardly ashamed.
He thought of her as means Of escape
from his troubles. He withdrew into .
wretched corner of his own soul, and
counted her money, like a miser who
knows the love Of it to be sin, but can
not shake himself free of it. Death had
removed his obligation to his friend. He
fixed his eyes upon this little myth and
did not see the great falsity Of his posi-.
ton when he should offer love that
was half covetousness.
A thousand sophistries rose to his aid,
and helped him overthrow the weakness
of his resolution. He had loved her for
herself: he would strive all his life to
make her happy; if she loved him what
did the motive of his proposal matter?
Thus he reasoned. but in reality fear
Of poverty was stronger than love; his
steps were urged by cowardice when he
turned them toward her. Well, it was
not the first time that the little winged
god had had to stop his ears to shut out
the jingle of gold.

But serious obstacle soon presented
itself. The strength of the vote in the
district was Hibernian in its tendencies,
and the whisper that Russell was an
Englishman began to hurt him, 1t was
very little use to contradict that rumor
by showing that his great-grandfather
had been born on Cape Cod. The ext
gency required something much better
than that Rooney grew quite despond-
ent thinking about it.
Everywhere go find this thing
sgin' me-" said he. Couldn't you rake
up some relatives in Ireland? We must
ind something to offset this business"
Russell had begun to be interested in
the fight; and he took this question un-
der serious consideration. At length,
he remembered that Rays coachman
was named William Russell. The iden-
tity of the names had once been the
cause of an amusing little scene. Rus
sell at once hunted up the coachman
and inquired where he was born.

Russell shook him warmly by the
hand.

"Bless yer heart, sor, I haven't such q
thing"
"Never mind; give me the dates and
Pll cable across for the properly-certi-
fed papers. We can get them here in
time to elect me.''
Russell secured his facts and bribed
the coachman to silence. Then he
cabled at once for the papers which ar
rived without delay. Rooney was more
than delighted.
This wins the day for u.s." said he.
"You don't look quite forty-two but
most Of the men who'll see this paper
are not quick at figures"
The canvass progressed finely. Rus
sell joined several Irish societies and,
1t may be added parenthetically, was
surprised to find that they were excel
lent organizations, doing much good and
promoting a hearty sociability He
made speeches, and proved to be very
successful liar on a variety of subjects.
none OF which meant any thing to him.
But one day towards the end Of it all
he was approached by q shrewd old fell
low whom he had met in the course of
his brief political career, and for whose
Judgment he had learned to have a
great respect. Old Pat Casey was man
who knew politics and loved it, but he
never had tried to get any thing but
amusement out Of it
''Young man." said he, II do be sorry
to see We made fool Of"
Thanks" said Russell. 81 should
be sorry myself if could see it."
"An' don't We know thin that Rooney's
sold ye out? Why, it's plain as the nose
on yer face. That's all he ever wanted
Nv yez- l know Rooney down to the
sole Of his feet, and that's his game,
take me wurrd for it."
Russell was surprised but he was not
shocked. He had never doubted that
Rooney would play him or any other
man false If there was enough in it, but
he had not seen the motive in this case

strong enough to trade on, but he's Tot
him now, an the deal IL sure to be
made"
On the strength Of this information
Russell made careful investigation
under Cssey's direction. and he was not
long in satisfying himself that Rooney
had indeed sold him out When the
truth had fairly found its way into his
brain he sauntered down to the King
headquarters. where he had . talk with
several district workers of Tammany.
The next day he wrote letter with
drawing in favor OF King and in the
interests Of Democratic harmony in the
district.

The Griffin Trial.

The only business transacted in the First
district court yesterday was the beginning
of the trial of James L. Griffin for the MUIR
der of John Hamer, in the saloon of MAIDEN
Brothers, in this city, on the morning of
SAugnst2 last.
The court convened at 80 o'clock and at
once proceeded to empannel the untitled
jury. BY noon, however, the jury was
filed and the court adjourned till 2 o'clock
pm.
The following named gentlemen will sit
in the twelve chairs during the progress of
the trial: John Coawan, c. II. Bevans, ].
@. Anderson, J. B. Shorten, E. Smoot, jr,
j. r. Edwards, Robert Davis, ]. b. Trem-
BILE, j. S. Jones, g. H. Galbraith, James
Brow and A. w. Meek.
BY the time the counsel and officials of
the court had arrived for the afternoon
session, the court room was crowded to
overlooking with spectators, and many
VINO sought admittance were turned away.
Soon after the bailiff sounced the gavel.
Judge l.. r. Rhodes, one of the counsel for
the prosecution, arose and produced the
opening arguments.
The first witness called was Will l..
Young, official stenographer of the court,
who was an eye witness to the shooting.
He was given rigid direct examination
by Prosecuting Attorney Evans and a close
cross examination by attorney for the de-
Tense, Arthur Brown.
In his testimony Mr.. Young stated he
ysaw Griffin fire his revolver twice and
heard four or five shots, but was unable to
discover who fired the others.
He was in the saloon from o'clock in
the morning until about o'clock in the
morning, when the shooting occurred.
Considerable betting was going on during
the night and Griffin put up considerable
money on John @. Tyler, Liberal candidate
for county recorder, and the deceased, John
Hamer, wagered considerable on Daniel
Hamer, his brother, who was candidate on
the Peoples party ticket for the same
Office. The trouble grew out of election
matters. Young was the only witness eX
anined yesterday, and from the present in.
dications it will likely take several days tt
bring the trial to a conclusion.

Fire Fiends at Work.

Some scoundrel with bigger feet than
brains made an attempt to burn the Grand
opera house block about 10 o'clock night
before last. The blaze was started in the
water closets on the third floor. Whoever
did the malicious deed packed the Stats
with paper and started it to blazing. The
fire had got fair start when it was dis
covered by the night Waterman, who
turned on the water from hose near by
and extinguished it.
This makes the fifth attempt within the
last two months to fire the building
1t is thought some discharged workman
employed on the building during Its con
struction has taken this means to satisfy
his grievances. If the hoodlum is caugh,
the law will deal with him severely.
