A Man of Feeling.

"Beg pardon, ma'am," said the tramp on the back porch, removing his hat, but was not that man who just left your door the collector for the ice com pany?"
 "He was rer." r,1- jed the lady of the house, wonderingly.
 ''I did not recognize him at first, but I suspected he was something of the kind. He had bill, perhaps?"
 "He had, sir. And paid it."
 "Then, madam" rejoined the tramp, his eyes moist and his chin trembling with sympathy, "be it far from me to add to the desolation and misery of an already devastated household! I will carry my request for a light collation. to some moro fortunate neighbor."
 And he drew his shiny coatsleeve across his eyes, swallowed sympa- thetic sob, backed down off the porch, clambered over the line fence on the left, and disappeared.-Chica Trib-

NErTLEroN ON THE REPORT.
He Says the Contractors Must Make Good
 Ellis Island Botch Work.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Assistant Sec retary Nettleton, who was so severely scored by the report of majority of the committee investigating the Ellis Island matters, which was presented yesterday !, speaking of the committees charges, this morning said:
 ''The Treasury Department is perfectly content to leave its action in the Ellis Island matter to the facts of record as they are fairly and temperately set forth in the minority report. These facts are a perfect vindication of it's course in every par scular.
 ''The foolishly unfair nature of the Stump report is sufficiently illustrated by a simple fact. It pretends that the build ings have been accepted by the Govern ment and the contractors released leaving defects to be corrected at public expense Chairman Stump knows that not one such building has been so accepted, not one contractor released, and that an ample sum, as stated in the minority report, is withheld to cover every possible defect or shortage by contractors"

 "You understand?'' she asked Mckee, abruptly. "You see what he means?"
 Vaguely, only. Carroll and I are both at sea for the full meaning-for the reason of writing to him.'' For answer Miss Clay drew the shovel from the coals, striking the dust from it and folding a newspaper smoothly over it. Then she pressed the letter firmly down upon the hot surface.
 ''Come," she said, briefly. Read be- tween the lines"
 And all three watched eagerly as the wide blank spaces began to fill with faint red characters, rapidly changing to dark brown as they read: ''The river is patrolled, but both banks are clear. Lose no time. A freeze might delay you for days. Pete will re- cross Friday night. Your escort is watched-haf suspected. Too many passes asked. Get another driver-one less familiar. God,speed and guard you!'' There was dead silence as Miss Clay slowly removed the paper, the mystic characters gradually fading out as it cooled. Then she said, calmly:
 ''If you are suspected, the risk is too great. Who else, that you trust, knows | the road?"
 ''I must drive you, Miss Clay" the youth answered, with chivalric modesty | contrasting strangely with his boyish pettishness shown below. ''It is my right and plighted privilege. Old Pete will do more for me than for any man and fear no risk" ''It is double risl1," she replied, de cisively-"equally for me as for your. self. Some other must go. Can you trust no one?"
 Carroll Meredith, perhaps. No, he is well known; those suspecting me | would shadow him also," he began thoughtfully. He pondered a moment deeply, smile, strange at such mo ment, passing once or twice across his | lips before he asked, suddenly: | You will go, unquestioning, with anyone I send, no matter how singular my choice?"

 ''No; only au revoir, think. I vii see you again, most probably"
 He was at the front door again. But had the debt of obligation been tel times as heavy, Mckee would have fel 1t paid in full by the tone in which an other voice whispered, after a hurried conference in the hall:

 "That's itl He is the man" Mckee started to his feet.

The young mans eyes fell, and flush of shame swept his face. Next instant he raised both bravely, looking into hers as he whispered:
 Bessie, my darling! Can you forgive me?"
 "I have nothing to forgive" she an swered, frankly holding out her little hand. You were right to speak out, Willie, Tiff you suspected me. But, dear, Peyton Fitzhugh may not be sol dier, but he is gentleman and a man!'
 ''I was almost as unjust to him as was toyou," the youth said, gently, as he took the little hand in his. And, Bess, dear, Willie Mckee may not be a gentleman and a man, but he certainly is grand donkey!"
 "Hush, sirI No one shall speak so about anyone I-Eikei"
 They were very close to the parlor door and to each other. He bent over her bright face, its eyes glowing softly through suspicious moisture, and Well, 1t was perhaps fortunate that Miss Bessie had been correct in her statement: "The coast Is clear.''

 taliation measures adopted by the United States in regard to Canada have had their effect, and the Canadian Government is already con sidering the best means ot backing out of the difficulty gracefully. A high authority, who is in the confidence of Sir John Abbott, Premier of the Do- minion, says that the Government has practically decided to abolish the rebate system and make uniform toll without regard to routes, or to do away altogether with tolls Premier Abbott will return from his vacation in few days, when a meeting of the Cabinet will be held at Ot- tawa and the whole subject discussed.

WAS HE MURDERED?
The Strange Case of John Wcidensane, at
 Shamokin. Pa.

Shamokin. Pa.
 SHAMoKIN, Pa, July 29.-The police are trying to get at the truth regarding the death of JohR Weidensane, a wealthy hveryman of Lewisburg. He was taken from burning building on Saturday morning, and on investigation it was found that he was shot in the head.
 The coroner's jury found that he had committed suicide.
 The tragedy occurred in the house of his sweetheart, Miss Kate Neyhart.
 Monday it was ascertained that his skull had been crushed by means of a blunt instrument.
 This was the first intimation of foul play, although Miss Neyhart strenuously adhered to the original story of suicide.
 More interest is added to the case by the report of the physicians who made the post mertem examination of Weiden- sane They found that the bullet that penetrated the brain did not fit the cham Der of the revolver found by the dead mans side.
 This adds mystery to the case, and the authorities now believe that the man was murdered.
