CHAPTER XIu.-CoNTNUED.
Trembling and obedient, the young
girl accompanied him. For a time
neither spoke, then her pent-up emo
-tions found vent.
''Oh, Mr.. Bladon," she said, chow
can ever find words to thank you for
the noble service you have done me this
,aay?"
Bladon looked wistfully at the sweet
face.
Would thee mind an old man asking
"a question? 'Tain't right, know, to
put young girl to the blush, but"
ASK me what you will, and will
answer you without reserve"
There was no doubling the truth that
sshone from those velvet eyes.
(which, then, of those two lads was
thy sweetheart"
$50 help me Heaven, neither!'
WHAT
The one, hated, scorned, loathed
the very presence of; the other loved,
but not with love which you mean"
(which one, my pretty?"
There was depth Of tenderness in
the old mans voice.
''Why, poor George Arundel, of
ocourse," she said with all simplicity.
-'And now, lass, speak fearlessly, as
between an old man an young maiden,
be there anyone thee dost love in the
way l mean?"
Though the crimson blush dyed her
check, she never faltered.
''Yes, Mr.. Bladon, there is one l love
in the way You mean"
Thank Godr' wa& all the old man
said, but the light in his face showed
he relief he felt.
& Just as they reached Dolman's door,
he held out his horny hand to the girl
and said with some emotion:
Il didna like thee, lass. l couldna
bear the sight o thee; but all that has
passed now: an you'll try to forget the
wrong I've done thee?"
~ shall remember nothing but the
debt of gratitude owe You"
''You see," Bladon went on in contrite
apology, lit was thy name that first
set me against thee"
What, 'Wanda?'"
"Aye, lass. There was a Wanda once
as wrought n bitter wrong to my lads
father-a cruel, hard woman, as wrecked
a noble life"
You mean George Arundel's moth
aer?"
Il do, lass. An strange to say, ycu
are her very image. Only there's soft
ness about thy pretty face there never
was on her'n."
''Was She"
''Nay, nay" Bladon interrupted, hur-
riedly, ''thee mustna ask questions.
Georges mother be nothing to thee,
lass, an never will be. Never tell the
young master I even mentioned her
name to thee. Forget l ever let my old
tongue wag as I've done to-day; for
least said is soonest mended, an 1
would'na regret the bit of confidence
I've put in thee"
And you never shall" she said
ssweetly as they passed into the house.
But, from that time forth, William
Bladon had always a kindly smile and
a gracious word for the pretty teacher.

Give Him a Chance.

PETER is now begging for fair trial.
He says if he is given fair chance, he
can be of benefit to the state. He has
been given a chance. After he was
elected there was no longer occasion
for him to keep up calamity. But for
almost year he tramped the country,
proclaimed the bankruptcy and ruin of
his state, and did it more harm than he
can undo if he is given all the chance

gresham Clover came to the front with
a bill providing for the free coinage of

THE CORDAGE TRUST.
HOW IT EFFORTS ENORMOUS PROF
ITS BY COMBINATIONS.

How 1t Is Protected-A Long Struggle
to Force in the Independent Manufac-
dends and 81, 900. 900 Surplus.
Hemp and its substitutes-manilla
sisal grass and jute-constitute the raw
material of two important industries,
those of cordage and bagging manufac-
ture. The most important of these is
the cordage industry, which comprises
the production of all classes of ship and
other cordage, rope and binding Irvine.
1t is seldom that these products are
manufactured in separate establish
ments. Nearly all the materials used
are imported, and the establishments in
the industry are quite widely diversified
throughout the country. A scheme to
combine all these establishments into a
gigantic trust would have been consid-
cred impossible several years ago. Now,
however, after the people have become
accustomed to the sight of trusts and
combines as result of the tariff, its sue
cessful accomplishment excites little
comment.
The duties on the material and on
cordage and Irvine are as follows:

Double But,ressed rrust.

A trust that is buttressed on one flank
by protective tariff and on the other
by a patent right is very hard to dis
lodge. This has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the people of Mime
sofa. The legislature of that state
thought it would be a good thing to set
the inmates of the state prison at work
making binder Irvine for the farmers,
and made an appropriation for procuring
the necessary machinery. But it was
found that tie Cordage trust owned the
patents on improved machinery, and
would not sell to the state without a
guarantee that the state would join in
the conspiracy to maintain trust prices
and sell its product within prescribed
area Here was an unexpected dilemma.
At last advices the sovereign state of
Minnesota had not gene into the Irvine
making business.

In addition to the forty-five concerns
mentioned above, the trust claims the
control of four others, making total of
forty-nine properties.
At the time of its organization, in 1887,
the trust announced as the object sought
by its formation an increase in the
profits to be derived from a lower cost
of materials by the removal of compe-
tition in the market and from the econ
omies to be derived from decrease in
the cost of production. 1t was asserted
time and again that no attempt would
be made to raise the prices of its fin
ished products.
The claims were repeated at the time
of the reorganization as corporation,
and finally in February last in the an
nual report to the stockholders in the
following terms, Through these ad-
vantages secured by the control of many
mills and their management under one
direction, the company hopes to be en-
abled to secure an increased margin of

Tho sudden Turn for the Worse Surprise
Tho President Little Expected 1t.

The Sudden Turn for the Worse n Surprise.
The President Little Expected 1t.
WAsmNarox, D. c., Oct. 24.-There
are several interesting incidentsconnec,
ted with the case which are naturally
omittedfrom the purely medical history.
For instance, up to the time Of the ap-
pearanco of the pleuritic symptoms at
Loon Lake, early in September. the ex-
tremely alarming character OF the case
was not realized by the President or any
member of his family, each Of whom
then seemed buoyed up with hope OF
Mrs. Harrison's ultimate restoration to
health. As an indication OF this it may
be recalled that the President at the in
stance OF the New York Republican
committee, had consented to make a
campaign tour through western New
York early in September and deliver a
number Of speeches. The President
had spent a few weeks in the mountains
with his invalid wife and was about to
return to Washington on public busi-
ness. The speech-making was to be IN
cidental to his return TO the national
capital.
The arrangements for the trip were
all completed and the residents OF the
cities to be visited were in state OF ex-
pectation when Mrs. Harrison was
stricken down, only one day before the
date fixed for the beginning OF the trip
and the President was compelled to
cancel all his engagements. He did
this with extreme regret, because he
had been compelled to break a similar
engagement once before for the same
reason.
Whatever hope he had cherished for
the recovery OF his wife was quickly
dispelled after the consultation of the
three physicians at Loon Lake on the
14th OF September. The condition OF
the patient at that time was so alarm
ing that it was decided to be no longer
right or prudent TO keep it from the
public, and the bulletin saying that
she had consumption, complicated with
other troubles, was thereupon given to
the press.
This was the first official statement OF
the true state of the case and its issu-
ance caused no little excitement. AT
the request OF the other physicians, Dr..
Doughty prepared statement of tho
case as he viewed it. 1t was intended
for publication, but at tho time he was
not aware OF the fact. 1t was subse-
quently given to tho press just as he
wrote IL with one single but most i'm
portant exception. In the prognosis
which closed the paper he wrote the
one word "fatal," but in the prognosis
given TO the press tho word uncertain"
was substituted for fatal"
This change was made at the sugges-
ton OF the family, some OF the mem.
bers of which questioned the expedi-
ency of making so serious statement
in such summary manner, especially
as the many friends were totally unpre-
pared for the announcement.

grave offense against criminal justice" !"
In addressing a delegation Of Irish
Americans he said:
"You are Observation-Disclosures
cans-and though you have given the
concentrated loyalty OF your honest
hearts to the starry flag and your adop-
ted country, you have not forgotten,
and you ought not to forget to love and
venerate the land Of your nativity. II
you could forget Ireland, if you could be
unmoved by her splendid oratory, un:
sympathetic with her heroes and
martyrs, should fear that the bond of

sciences SO dead. What if sprig of

Of Union soldier who lay dead on mis-
