A Mistaken Trim.

During the recent slump in all the in
dustrial stocks two young statesmen of
Boston were talking Of the enormous
shrinkages. One of them had made
some money in buying and selling the
stock Of the sugar company, and he said
to the friend, BUY sugar; it is cheap,
and I think you'll make some money ON
it." Acting on his advice. his friend
purchased several dozen barrels Of
sugar and is holding it for q rise.-Shoe

As Tom passed again through the emp
ty theater the sense of shock departed. A
live ache leaped within him. He walked
on, not needing or caring where hissteps
led him. His throat was dry burning
sob far down in it that the man in him
beat back. He had been a fool, then:
An egotistical dreamer?
Oh, the languor of helplessness, the
haunting pain of overthrow and loss, the
repugnance to the necessary effort Of re-
adjusting his conception of himself and
his life. Those who have known this
feeling have tasted for one moment the
kernel of despair.
How can tell Virginia." was his
weary thought.

CHAPTER |

1t was the day after Tom Murray's re-
volt.
He sat alone in his top floor dormitory
at table ranged with old letters, dusty
books, cravats, gloves, a few faded bou-
tonnieres, theater programmes and dog
cared manuscripts roll upon roll Asmall
trunk, half filled, stood on the floor be-
side him and received his wearing appa-
rel and books as he pitched them in in
discriminatory.
Tom was not tidy. Cleanliness of per-
son and a certain homage to fashion were
matters Of religion with him, but he
could not live in an orderly room to save
his life. This alone might have betrayed
his Celtic origin had it not markedly
shown itself in appearance and tempera-
ment.
The thick hair growing closely over his
forehead was black as astrakhan and as
waved. There was striking unfitness
between his moody blue eyes and swarthy
skin. Dreamy, yet remarkably compre-
hensive in some moments, were those eyes
of his and at other times almost Opaque.
Something said or done could make the
pupils expand, little door seem to open,
emitting brilliant, blue fash, then dis
creetly close and the shadow fall again.
His mouth was like brave woman's,
full and finely curved, and his merry
smile showed teeth as white as negroes
A stalwart, youthful figure, square shout
ders that staggered as he walked, easy
strides that carried him untiringly for
long distances, told of wonderful re.
serve of strength. He was the Irishman
of Milesian antecedents without touch
of the pale Saxon to blur the type. AL
though American born, there was proba-
bly, his double among the strapping young
fishermen throwing their nets off the
coast of Galway.
A warning sun ray shot across his eye
lids and flashed beyond him like needle
of gold, piercing the dusty dimness of
the room, before he turned the key in
the trunk
"It's getting late. There's not min
ute to spare" And pulling out his watch
he gave kick to the chair beside him
where he had flung the long sleeved al
paca gown and Oxford cap worn by the
theological students in Chelsea square.
There lay the whole story of his re-
VOLT Ha had thrown them off.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-09-13

Well, it's all over for me- Goodby has
been said to every one. It's all over for
him too. l couldn't pain him SO if he
were living"
He started up and took turn around
the room, his eyes softening with feel
ing,
surplice and psalter, fasting and pray
ing. wonder if he cares-now" And
Tom thought of newmade grave in a
western state.
Perhaps he knows better than 1 could
have told him in life" and he felt his
heart swelling, "that wanted to please
him, but 1 couldnt-couldn't do it-be-
cause of the something within me that
tugged and protested and pleaded Per-
haps he knows"
The depression was short lived
Laughter closely follows signing when
one is only 60, clean of heart and con-
science and blessed-or cursed maybe
with the mercurial temperament, the
gay irresponsibility that in crisis of
life slips so easily into plausible kind
of selfishness.
Tom gave vigorous shake of his long
legs and commenced brushing his hair
as if his life depended on getting out its
obstinate wave whistling as he worked
To be sure, he had very little of his ia
theirs small patrimony left, and very
misty future stretched before him, but
the world was brighter today than it had
been in years. He need do violence to
his inclinations no more. 1t was all end
ed now-all that life whose demands his
soul had resisted, under which his rebel
lious heart had strained How he had
hated the monotony of it'll He Il preach
er, when he so loved the world and the
things thereof! What mistake it had
been!
During the two years spent i'll the old
college hidden in green, far western
corner Of Twentieth street hehad formed
no friendships. He was that marvellous
isolated being, college man without a
chum. The interests of his companions
were necessarily clerical. His thoughts
had been elsewhere, his burning desire
conferred upon success, but by patti
that wandered far from the hush and
sanctity of the church.
And yet there were some things of the
life renowned which the artist in hin
would miss. The flow of music in tn,
little chapel-how often he had likenet
the quivering intensity of those rich or
gan notes to the throbbing of his owl
unsatisfied heart-the altar sparkling lik
an opal under the candle light on saints
days; the twilight that met one softly il
the secluded paths while the chimes ros
in happier peals as the darkness deep
ened. Yes, the memory of these woul,
remain with him forever.
AT 5 o'clock he turned into Broadway
The stream of late afternoon lounger
thronged that raceway of fashion. H
braced himself and looked around wit
eager, obsorvant eyes, for to him VIII

The joint resolution offered by
Senator Cullom, rep. Ill. }, on yester-
day transferring the model battleship
Illinois, to the state of Illinois as an
armory for the naval militia of the
state after the close of the Worlds
Fair was passed. The repeal bill was
taken up at 11:30.
After senators Wolco!t and Sher-
man had spoken on the repeal bill,
Senator German spoke.
Senator Sherman had spoken
strongly in favor of repeal, and Sena-
tor German, commenting on Senator
ShermaD's speech, said: ~ am sur.
prised that he should bring in party
questions and attempt to take party
advantage of delays or mistakes, if
there have been mistakes. or now in
the closing hours of this great strug-
gle tina that distinguished leader
should tell US and tell the country
that the measure itself will be impo-
tent, that it eliminates silver or its
further use for the moment
Senator Sherman spoke strongly in
favor of the use of silver to the largest
extent possible.

not meet the expectations of the
people.
Senator Gorman-If l understand
the position of the Democratic party

was pledged to the repeal of the
Sherman law. The president of the
