CHAPTER NXI.

Mr.. HARDCASIIE itt-%
1t is necessary now to account for the
presence Of the American party in Eng
| land.
When Mr.. Iardcastlc revealed the
contents Of Harry's letter TO the in
mates of his house, you may be sure
there was rejoicing.
And the very next morning. when he
had settled himself in his study to
write long letter to Harry, he was
visited by no less Il person than Mrs.
Evesham. who blushingly excused her
intrusion.
My dear friend" she said, when she
had seated herself. Il have come to beg
the favor Of your counsel in a matter
which / am quite incompetent to de-
eide"
'.Ah. pray command me-" And sure
", Mr. Hardcastlc, there was no need
for you to leave your comfortable arm
chair and assume q far less luxurious
! one, because it happened to be 4 few
feet nearer to your interesting visitor.
well. sir. YOU see" the lady con-
tinucd. =! have just been having a most
extraordinary and unexpected inter
view with George Arundel"
a pleasant one. am sure
''Wcll, hardly can tell. VIII you
believe it. the foolish fellow has fallen
in love with my Kate, and wants to
marry hero
Il will very readily believe it." Mr..
Hardcastlc responded. And | think
the young gentleman exhibits excel
lent taste. But what does the lady say?'
''On. am afraid that she encourages
him in the proposition. But. do you not
see Mr.. uardcastlc. that thi, Is irnpos-
siblc?"
Il don't. indeed
What. don't you see that. with this
young mans prospects of becoming the
Earl Of arlington, such a match would
! be-
well brought up American c.rl-the
/ daughter of such mother as you-is,
in my opinion, a match for the procdcst
prince in Christendom.'
Then you think ! should give my

.'Ifyour daughters happiness is linked

Arundel has in my opinion a patent
of nobility grander than that granted by
any king. He is generous, honorable
and Northumberland more would you
| ask?''
''y,u plead well for the young peo-
pie, Mr.. Hardcastle.''
Yes" he sand And if / could only
plead as well for myself. Esther Eve
sham. l should think myself a happy
man"
The widow flushed scarlet. but never
helped him with a word.
II know it is madness for me to sup
pose IT my time OF life that | could
/ win womans love, nor did / ever
think that | should meet 4 woman
whose love / coveted so much as | DO

life, could make yours happy. You

oh, it wouldn't be for that, Mr.. Hard
castle. if If l said yes-but-' the
widow stan;nercd-
'But?''
Pat. oh. do love .Tou with all my
heart and soul. | think you one OF the
noblest men God ever made"
She was sobbing in his arms, and Al
exander Hardcastle knew that he had
won the faithful heart.
And what surprised these two shame
faced lovers. when they confessed the
fact. was :hat no one was one bit as
tonished but rendered their loving coz
gratulations as though it was quite an
everyday occurrence for groom o.

| ..Eh. Good Lord, what makes thee

Then Mr.. Hardcastle read Harry Eve
shan's letter from beginning to end.
( The old servant never spoke during the
recital of the strange story. When it
was finished his feelings broke forth:
| 1t is the hand of the Almighty. And
/ my dead master, innocent after all of

"Yes. his father left i'll my hands all

Though. as l suppose she really is his

And EIayter? We shall drop hard
on Hayter. Mr.. Iardcastle?"
We'll try" was the grim reply.
! Then Mr.. iardcaStle enjoyed the de-
lightful satisfaction of revealing to the
other actors in this little drama the
startling developments of Harry's letter.
George Arundel was the least discoIn-
posed. He had so long felt that his
father had moved in another sphere Of
life that he was somewhat prepared for
the disclosure. Kate heard the news
with sad and sinking heart, for the ties
Of this new position would take the
friend she loved so far away. And as
for Wanda. she vowed she would never
give up America and Mrs. Evesham to
be made Il queen, much less 4 countess,
while every neI--c OF her little body
thrilled with gratitude to think that
she could now in sober truth call her
darling George her brother.
SO they wrote and told Harry that as
soon as Georges health permitted the
whole party would set sail for England.

Buffalo Times.
The shoe is on the other foot it
Jerry has made that statement it indi-
Gates that his head is level on the liquor
question and his brain is working IN the
direction of progress.
There are many people who hold that
poverty is due to intemperance, but the
modern political economist, and in fact
almost all thinking people, now admit
that .he greatest factor in intemperance
is poverty The prohibitionists believe
that by suppressing the liquor traffic,
poverty will be abolished, for, he
argues. men will then buy clothing and
other necessities with the money they
now spend for liquor. They will then
have better homes and their families
will be better cared for.
This is simple and effective argu-
ment. and is believed to be sound logic
by that class who are mentally incap-
able of delving deeper into the economic
features involved in the question. From
this illogical premises many otherwise
bright minds are led into confusion of
thought. Mr.. f. Evens of Tonawanda,
for instance. who is treasurer Of the Ma
tional reform party and an ardent prohi-
bitionist. says: Poverty and crime is
unquestionably the result of intemper-
ance. Why. if we left the saloons to be
| conducted as at present. and were to in
crease the wages of labor all around 1t
would end in even greater drunkenness
and crime. for men would then be able
to buy more liquor" And if intemper-
ance is the mother of poverty and crime,
Mr. Evens' argument is logical.

Especial New York Correspondence
It seems hardly possible for those
who delight in gay gowns and bright
colors to go far astray in their dressing
this year, as the modistes and milliners
are at hand to encourage them in their
tastes for this kind of gowning. Every
thing is bright and brilliant. and the
very quietest French combinations of
color are what but few seasons ago
would have been deemed suitable only
for dress occasions. We seem, however.
TO quickly become accustomed to all
this brilliance and gayety, and after the
long dreary season just past. there is
something inspiring if less refining in
all the rush of color, and gay and gor-
geous effect.
While there are few indications that
skirts will likely bc a little less clinging

would end in even greater drunkenness

to buy more liquor" And if intemper-
ance is the mother of poverty and crime,
Mr.. Evens' argument is logical.
Jerry Simpson is right in saying we
must first cure poverty if we would
abolish intemperance.
Come with me for walk any even
ing. through the outlying districts of
our city. where live our working people
] will show you thousands of working
men supporting homes on $3.50 per day
and less. Men who toll hard all day,
eight. nine. ten and even twelve hours
per dav These are the men who pat
ronize the little corner grocery and sa-
loon. It is about the only place aside
from their poor homes where they find
a welcome. $3.50 per day will perhaps
buy food and other things needful to the
household but it must be the cheapest
and coarsest They live from hand to
mouth day in and day out. 1t is utterly
impossible for these people to dress well
and enjoy the social advantages offered
by tneaterS, lectures. DdllS anu cilISi-
tainments. $3.50 per day will not secure
this for them. They, like all human be-
ings. are sensitive. and have no desire
to display their poverty by mingling
among well-dressed people at public
gatherings. where they know they will
meet with a cool reception if not an
open snub.
Nine and ten hours hard labor finds
these men at their homes at night. ut
terly exhausted, and too tired to even
read the evening paper. Their phys
ical and mental forces are completely
used up. and in order to be equal to the
necessity of passing through the same
internal grind the next day, they must
have sleep and rest. They know little
recreation. and their lives are spent in
toll and sleep. Is it any wonder they
feel the necessity of some sort of stimu-
liant? Is it any wonder that. having ac-
CURED a taste for drink, some become
| wrecks?
The wonder is that n.ore do not be-
| come drunkards. Realizing the hope
| lessness of lives condemned to an eter-
| nal grind of la bor with the only alter
native sleep. we marvel at the heroisrn
displayed by these self-sacrificing, noble
types of true men.
Iron County register., 1892-05-05

Now what is the ultimate object OF
such men as Mr.. Evens. who are labor
ing for the suppression of the liquor
traffic? 1t is to bring about a better
condition among men. They believe
that all the ignorance. misery and deg
radiation of this world is due to liquor
drinking, and they propose remedy in
aboliShing the saloon.
Such men as Jerry Simpson believe
there is no solution of the question
short of altering our social conditions in
a manner that shall make it possible
for all men to find employment and Sc
cure better returns for their labor.
They believe that when this is done,
men will have the means that shall en-
able them to cultivate better habits.
and will live purer lives. Here we have
two types of reformers. The former
would suppress the effects of causes Ia
physical impossibility) and the latter
would go deeper and remove the cause
of evil effects.
We are inclined to side with the lat
ter and so it is we believe that ''JcTrys
brain is working in the right direction.
Change the conditions under which
men live make it just and fair, so that
each will have an opportunity in life,
and there will be some hope OF lifting
men out of their misery.
Enact laws that shall make it impos
sibie for men to legally acquire lno1cy
they do not earn, and let those who
labor be fully paid for what they pro-
duce. Make it impossible for men to
roll in wealth which can not by any
possibility be honestly acquired, and
make it unnecessary that other men
shall be stepped in poverty which can
not by any possibility be deserved.
Mems aspirations are higher and
grander than a desire to loaf at the
corner saloon. Place them upon an
equal footing in point of opportunity,
and the liquor question Will solve itself
At present we are forcing them down
| and into drunkenness and crime by
| maintaining a system which saddles
them with involuntary poverty.
Let us study Jerry's plan. 1t is the
only safe and practical one. Personal
1y, in point Of mental and moral quail
ties men will never be equal. Some are
strong and others weak; some timid
and some courageous; some ambitious
| and others indCie These factors are
ever operative and they all should de-
termine the relative success and failure
Of men.
Under our present system of permit
ting few to nlonopolize and nanipu-
late production and markets, the good
and the bad -e crushed between the
great millstonss of greed. But If So
ciety were justly organized and equal
opportunities given men, none could
<,,;., .,-o.s Hid he not merit it, and
none would suffer did he not deserve;
there would be no ill-gotten wealth and
no involuntary poverty. Make social
conditions equal for all seeking en-
plovrnent and hope will spring up in
the human breast; then it viii be pos
sible for man to use his best powers and
the reward of healthful ambition will
be set before each human being. We
will then have awakened desires for
the good things of life. intellectual ana

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
OF the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Gymnasium.

An important as well as an inter-
esting meeting of the Physical com,
mittee of the Young Mems Christian
Association was held last night. The
General Secretary reported nine
classes weekly under way as follows: ::
Monday, 4:30 p. m business mems
class Tuesday, $3.50 p. M, Students
class Tuesday, 1880 p. M, regular
class Wednesday, $3.50 p. M, Junior
class; Thursday, 1880 p. M, regular
class; Friday, 4:30 p. M, business
mems class; Saturday, 10 a. M,
junior class; Saturday, $3.50 p. M,
students class; Saturday, 1880 p. M,
regular class.
The attention of the members of
the association is called to the time
of the classes, as hereafter it will be
necessary for them to join some one
class, aud no member will be allowed
to exercise in any class but his own.
An entire new set of rules was form
ulated and ordered printed and pul
up in the gymnasium. 1t was decid
ed to give the entire gymnasium an
overhauling, putting everything in
the best possible shape as to safety,
also to order additional apparatus.
In order TO relieve The General
Secretary somewhat of the burden OF
too many classes JEFF Herndon, Burt
Wilson and John Beach were ap.
pointed to assist with the regular
night classes.
An important action taken by the
committee was to decide on Febru-
ary 16 as the date for holding their
annual gymnasium exhibition in the
opera house. Many of onr people
doubtless remember what a pleasant
affair the one held last June was aud
how the boys were urged to repeat
it.
The attention of the churches and
friends of the association is directed
to the date Of this exhibition-Feb.
16-and they are requested to give
the bows the right of way that week.

BANCROFT LAUNCHED.
Uncle Sam Puts Into Service a
New Cruiser.
She is Named After the Great Historian,
and is a Good One, But Rather
Small.
Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l

ELIzABETHPoRT, N. j., Dec. g.
The Navy Department has ordered
the New practice cruiser Bancroft"
into commission to. day, but much
remains to be done to her to make
her seaworthy. 1t is doubtful If she
will be able to make her trip to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard for some
weeks to come.
The Bancroft, named after the
great historian, was built at the
works of Moore & Company, In
Elizabethport, N. j., and since the
completion Of her plans so many inn
provements have been made in ship
building that she will lack much of
being perfect practice cruiser. In
fact it is conceded on all sides that
she is far too small for the demands
that will be made of her. An in
spection of the new practice ship
shows that to date there remains
much important work to be perform
ed. There is single dynamo en-
gine in the vessel, though consid-
cradle portion of the electric connec-
tions have been installed. The
floor plates of the engine
room are not entirely laid,
and there is considerable work
remaining TO be done on the cylin-
ders of the main engines. The oil
service of the primary engines,
though nearly complete, is by no
means finished. In the engine-roOm
generally there remains much touch
ing up work here and there. The
main engines have been turned over
and have been found to work satis-
factorily for an initial turn. In an
emergency the main engines could
be made ready for service in one
months time. The hull work Of the
Bancroft is practically completed to
all outward appearance, but in the
supply of deck bolts, rail fittings,
and all the small supplies necessary
for vessel there appears to have
been no furnishing to date. To give
the Bancroft all these supplies will
require, it is estimated, full four
weeks time. The Bancroft, when
completed, will be taken to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard docks. She will
there receive her spars, boats and
cabin and ward-room furniture. The
living quarters of the Bancroft are at
present habitable. The quarters lack
only furnishing.

MUCH ACTIVITY.
Thousands of Pounds of Tobacco Being
Received To-day.

This is proving the greatest tobac-
co season of the year, and farmers
are busily engaged in delivering the
weed. The stemmeries were all
crowded with wagons tLis morning
early, and they will be here until
late, many in fact having to remain
over tonight.
At Luckett's factory this morning
there was line of wagons waiting
when the house was opened. The
lot west of the factory was full. The
street leading up to the same from
the river was crowded, and many
heavily-laden wagons were standing
on Front street unable to get nearer
the goal.
AT Dunlop's factory the same con-
dition of things obtained, while
"North End" was busy unloading
wagons at Browns and Beaumont's
factories.
Buyers are still in the country, and
ii the present activity holds up much
longer the bulk of the crop around
Clarksville will have been purchased.
This all means money for the
farmers, money for the merchants
and money for all. 1t will be plenti-
full and times will be better.
A close observer remarked to re-
porter last evening that when you
see buyers in the woods 10 Novem-
Der you may put 1t down that some-
thing is up. They took 10 the field
early, hence they want tobacco.
They are getting it and the farmers
will have lots of money. The Christ
mas trade in Clarksville will be bet
ter than it has been for a long time.
This is official.
