Cincinnati COmmercIaI UAZeIle.I
Pittsburg reports tight money market,
and the reason given is that large amounts
have gone into permanent investments in
the way of realty, bonds and stocks. The

aIso quite an item in the financial markets
of all the towns. But the Christmas money
stockings are now disgorging, and money is
again becoming plenty, at least in small

SENATOR PETER is agitated over the
amendment to the interstate commerce act
to legalize pooling, now under the considera-
tfon of committee. 1t is not quite clear
why the railroads should desire such an
amendment or the Populist leader dread It.
The act is pretty much of dead letter any
how. The railroads disregard its provisions
with impunity. And its supporters will do
well to devote their energies to the suosti-
tuition of something more effective.

4 GOLDEN HOUR.

From The London spectator
reckoning spirit Of gadness seemed anoat
That lightly danced In laughing AIR before US:
The earth was all In tune, and you note
OF Natures happy chorus
Twas like verna morn, yet overhead
The leafess bOughs across the lane were knitting:
The ghost OF some forgotten spring, said,
O'er Winters world comes lifting.
Or was II Spring herself, that gone astray,
BEYOND the alien frontier chose to tarryl
Or but some bold 0utrlder of the May,
some April emissary
The apparitron foded on the air,
Caprlcious and incalculabie conner
Wilt thou too pass and leave my chill DAYS bare.
And falln my phantom summer

CHAPTER III.
CONFLICTING CLAIMS.


II was on that afternoon that Ralph Kcrslakc,
with his son James beside him, drove up 10 Apple
wood and called on Mrs Ringer. For so calm % man
he was Unusually excited but James was more
than excited; he was triumphontly happy.
Il was determined to come myself, said thr
older man TO his hostess, after the ilrot cxpana-
cruel injustice wish 10 apologize for the slight
that 1 have shown TO her She is the grand
daughter of my oldest friend.
u don't QUITE understand said the OLD lady
perplexedly, how you have found it all ont
but / am so glad that it is true. Dear Maud =
She sighed q little, her right hand in Maud being
now apparently swept away.
It was partly chance that did IT, n favorable
chance; but principally 1t is the work of clever
man in whose hands James placed the affair. He
is a man who lets clue escape him, and on one
of the little garments YOU had taken core OF he
found an elaborate bit of embroidery, which seemed
to him like crest or coat-oi,arms
The clothes were beautifully worked said
{" He set to work to find out TO whom the coat
of-arms belonged, and so traced 1t to the Colnes
of Colne Manor The next thing then was to dis
cover whether any member of that family had
ever been missing"
People, like that, said Mrs. Ringer, would
certainly look for lost child.'
MY dear lady, they would, undoubtedly, If they
knew Of the child but they did not know. If the
clue had been given up here nothing would have
been achieved. II was not given up. Ny old
friend Peter Colne-dead you know, long ago,
but his widow has commissioned me to act for him
in this mattcr-had n son whom he disowned on
foolish &c act with so much severity, but my friend
had a quick temper. This son was the third
one He died soon after the quar-
rel. I heard afterward that his widow
was dead also, but the family had never taken
any notice Of her IL is discovered that she
went to live in Stlport after her husbands death ;
that when living there she had u little girl with
her The register Of this girls birth has been
discovered and no trace Of her death. The date
OF her mothers death and the place of her burial
are known The child must have been left by
her mother TO the Of friends and she is I'M
doubtedly your adopted daughter
If her family did not care for her before, }"
said Mrs. Ringer, with spirit, they won't care
for her now"
"There is great difference now. | don't
justify the conduct Of her grandfather. never
proposed 10 act in that way to James / have
not acted so tony other son. But now Peter
Colne is dead his two elder sons have died child
less. Mrs. Colne has to whom to leave
her vast estates but this granddaughter.
She must be very lonely old woman said
Mrs. Ringer.
She Is indeed. But your daughter will for
give her and be good 10 her, il she is all that my
son tells me. Indeed, she has nothing To forgive
for herself for her existence was never known
what then do you wish me to doa"
