CHAPrER NNNIY.

Inc DAY IOlOWlnB IndI upon winch
Stanmore received the information that
loan, the rascally broker made his ap-
pearance at the Office Of the money
lender promptly to the hour of his last
visit. Mr.. Benjaman was awaiting him.
After the civilities of the day were
! exchanged, Pratt said:
4 hope you have the money ready
for me?@
Yes. 1t is in the safe, yOnder."
Benjaman pointed to Il safe in one
hcOrner of the office as he spoke.
Pratt's eyes sparkled.
He was anxious to have the gold in
\ his possession.
I There seemed to be no one but Ben
.jaman present in the private office, and
l'the villainOus broker said, without fear
OF being overheard:
L have brought the marked money
with me. I want to close this transact
ton to-day, if possible"
Then he produced package from a
small valise, and. opening it, disclosed
several bundles of bank-notes.
Benjaman watched them eagerly, and
his eyes famed with the light of tri-
umph as Pratt proceeded to count the
money upon the table.
You will find the amount all right, I
iithink," he said, after running over the
] bills, and he pushed them to Benjaman.
The aged Hebrew counted the money
carefully.
The amount is correct. Seventy
seven thousand dollars, he said.
The reader will remember that one
thousand dollars, according TO Pratt s
statement, had been paid TO the mys-
terious man called ~Garnar."
Benjaman, after counting the money,
snatched it up, and placed it in his safe.
Then, instead of taking out the gold
to pay Pratt, he suddenly locked the
! safe and turned away.
Pratt's eyes were riveted upon him,
and he did not understand the meaning
of this.
I thought you said the gold was in
the safe yonder, he said
$50 it is. But before paying it to you,
I want you to sign this little document,
merely as a matter of business and self
protection, in case anything unpleasant
/ should happen" said Benjaman, and
| Pratt uttered an impatient oath, as the
old money-lender placed a written paper
before him.
Il have this day deposited with Ben
/ laman & Son, seventy-seven thousand
dollars in bills, marked with red W in
| the corner of each note. Said notes are
delivered by me to Benjaman and Com
pany in pursuance OF an agreement
I whereby Bentaman is to loan me thirty
seven thousand five hundred dollars,
and hold this money as security for the
| same"
Pratt read the paper carefully.
Then he said:
very well. I'll sign this for you" and
SELLING the pen, he appended his sigma
ture in dashing hand
Now, then, give me the gold.
~One moment, please"
What noW7" demanded Pratt, with
an impatient oath
I want TO Introduce you to these gen
tlemen, said the money-lender-
There was a screen across the ONCE
and, pushing it aside, he added:
These are my Witnesses
Pratt recoiled with a sudden exclama-
ton, as he beheld another Ben1aman
the exact counterpart Of the man to whom
he had paid the marked money, and fOul
of Beniaman's slerks, who had beer
concealed behind the screen

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Idaho and Utah delegation to
Chicago passed through Kansas over
the Union Pacific, on special train.
Emporia Republican: The directors
Of the Kansas City, Wyandotte and
Northwestern road resigned and the
stockholders at once elected Missouri
Pacific board. This means, of course,
that the Northwestern passed into the
Gould management, and that the Law
renee branch will soon be extended to
Usage City and EmPoria.
From Kansas City: Judge Riner,
judge of the United States court at
Leavenworth, has issued an order OF
court commanding Receiver Erb to sell
the Kansas City, Wyandotte & North
western road, and to give the usual legal
notice forthwith. Under the state laws
of Kansas six weeks notice is necessary
in such instances. Alb the sale Mr..
Gould will undoubtedly be the pur-
chaser, and that fOrmality is now the
only thing remaining undone TO place
the road entirely and absolutely under
the control of the railroad magnate ano
make it a part of the Missouri Pacific

It's a scrofulous affection of the

pisernoeruI specuIation.

A case affecting the sale of the
grave OF the mother OF George Wash
ington has just been decided in the
Circuit Court of Fredericksburg, Va.
The owner of the land on which the
grave is located sold it and a small
tract Of land for 81, 500, but refused
to make a deed because Of the threats
of his neighbors. The spectators in
town had agreed to sell their pur-
chase for $4,000, and when they
could not deliver the ground, brought
suit for damages. The court decided
against them because the grave was
too sacred to SELL" and the Supreme
Court of the United States refused to
entertain an appeal.

Mourning Colors.

Black is the almost universal
mourning color in Europe, but there
are a few exceptions. For instance,
in Russia black is never used for COW
ering collins, the cloth being of pink
shade when the deceased is a child or
young person, a crimson color for wo-
men, and brown for widows. Italians
do not use black cloth, white being
used in the case of a child, and purple
velvet in the case of adults.

Shaved with a Sharks Tooth.

In Pelham's Collection of Travels
QsO6), referring to one Of the Pacific
islands, mention is made of a woman
who was seen shaving a child's head
with a sharks tooth fastened into
the end of a stick. The hair was
first wetted with a rag dipped in
water, and then, by proper applica-
tion of the instrument, she completed
the business as effectually as If q
razor had been employed.
