CHAPTER XVII.
IN PORT AT LAST.

Day had broken before the several den
liens of The Wilderness had all returned
to their homes, the police finished their
inquiries, and all come back to its nor
NAL quiet. Mrs. Westmacott had been
left sleeping peacefully with small
chloral draft to steady her nerves and
handkerchief soaked In arnica bound
round her head. 1t was with some sur
prise, therefore, that the admiral re-
ceiyed note from her about 10 o'clock
asking himto be good enough to step in to
her. He hurried in, fearing that she might
have taken some turn for the worse, but
he was reassured to find her sitting up In
her bed, with Clara and Ida Walker in
attendance upon her. She had removed
the handkerchief and had put on little
cap with pink ribbons and maroon
dressing jacket daintily fulled at the
neck and sleeves.

tered, 81 wish to make last few re-
marks to you. No, no." she continued,
laughing as she saw look Of dismay
upon his face, 81 shall not dream Of

woman should be ashamed to die before
she is 20. wish, Clara, that you would
ask your father to step up. And you.

time to time q shadow passed in front of
it to show that her midnight visitor was
pacing up and down in front of her.
Once they saw his outline clearly, with
his hands outstretched as if in appeal or
entreaty. Then suddenly there was a
dull sound, cry, the noise of fall, the
taper was extinguished, and dark fig
ure fled in the moonlight, rushed across
the garden and vanished amid the shrubs
at the farther side.
Then only did the two old ladies un-
derstand that they had looked on while
a tragedy had been enacted. "Help"
they cried, and "help!" In their high,
thin voices, timidly at first, but gather
ing volume as they went on until The
Wilderness rang with their shrieks.
Lights shone in all the windows oppo-
site, chains ratified, bars were unshot,
doors opened, and out rushed friends to
the rescue. Harold, with stick; the
admiral, with his sword, his gray head
and bare feet protruding from either
end Of long, brown ulster; finally DR..
Walker, with a poker, all ran to the
Westmacotts. The door had been al
ready opened, and they crowded tu-
multuously into the front room.
Charles Westmacott, white to his lips,
was kneeling on the floor supporting his

stretched. dressed in her ordinary clothes,
the extinguished taper still grasped in
her hand, no mark or wound upon her
pale, placid and senseless.
"Thank God, you are come, DOCTOR"
said Charles, looking up. "Do tell me
how she is, and what should do"
DR.. Walker kneeled beside her and
passed his left hand over her head, while
he grasped her pulse with the right.

"We must get her to bed. We shall

struck me with life preserver. You
can tell the police so when they come.
Also that it was little fat man. Now,
Charles, give me your arm, and shall go

But her spirit was greater than her
strength, for as she staggered to her feet
her head swan round, and she would
have fallen again had her nephew not
thrown his arms around her. They car
ried her up stairs among them and laid
her upon the bed, where the doctor
watched beside her, while Charles went
off to the police station, and the Denvers
mounted guard over the frightened
maids.

The Convict's Dream.

The COnvicts Dream.
The moon looked in on his lonely cell,
The barren floor, and the untouched fare,
And its holy veil on his wan face fell
And covered the pain and sin marks there,
And smile, the first for many day,
The first for many weary year,
Crept over his lips as he sleeping lay
And banished the look Of haunted fear.
He dreamed that, boy again, he strayed
Afar In the glowing, dying wood
The golden sunlight around him played
And the ripe nuts fell with pleasant thud.
Again squirrel in fearsome fright
Sought shelter up in whispering tree,
And q rabbit, wild In Its eager flight,
Dashed into the bushes tremblingly.
And again, grown weary of wand'ring play,
He turns his steps to his welcome home,
Where face as sweet as q sweet June day
Is smiling greeting to her son.
"My boy! My boyl" and the lips close meet,
And she listens with earnest lovelit eyes,
While he tells of the day work, sad and sweet,
And his wonderful hope that in future lies.
But the moonlight fades-and he wakes.
For q moment q blank-and then a sob
From the white, drawn lips In anguish breaks
And tears his heart with mighty throb.
His boyhood is past-tho mother sleeps
Where his sob no answering love can wake
And he thinks of his life and weeps and weeps
Till 1t seems II tho bursting heart must
break.
God pity him there! And pity the men
Who languish behind the prison wall
Who look on the past through the eyes Of sin,
And long for the love beyond recall.
Let thy love, like the moonlight, sweet and
still,
Steal over them-bid their anguish cease
And speak that word with holy thrill:
"Behold, forgive thee, brother. Peacel"

Enormous Loss of Power.

AT the electric light convention in st
Louis Mr.. L. B. Stillwell remarked that
the Central station manager, who is buy
ing energy in the form of coal and sell
ing 1t in the form of light and wasting il
at every step in the process, is losing fan
more before the energy passes through
the dynamo than afterward. He esti-
mates that out of each 1000 horsepower
bought in the form of coal it is at pres
ent possible to sell not more than about
2.s horsepower in the form of light.
Some $50 horsepoweris lost before reach.
ing the dynamo and the rest afterward.
1t seems clear therefore that the problem
of cheap electricity is in its final analysis
O problem of thermodynamics.-Engi

GEMS IN VERSE.
The Hidden Hnard

There is not a word thou hast ever said.
There is not g glance of thine,
There Is not a Year thou has chanced TO shed,
That have not by stealth made mine
And boarded away for the wlntry day
When thy love shall have ceased to shinel
Now that bask in thy smiles galore,
And song In thy least breath find,
never need gaze on that furtivo store
Deep down in my heart enshrined,
But summers delight will one day take fight,
And then, for the bleak, bleak windl
In the season of sorrow and waste and wreck,
When all shall seem doomed to wane,
That long cherished hoard shall my heart not
lack,
Though naught beside 1t remain,
But with glamour lit eyes, porting over each
prize,
shall dream that thou lov'st again

"Oh, pou q,au1htu little r,tsstes."

AS to the business, it had been recon-
structed, and the energy and ability of
the junior partner had soon made up for
all the i'll that had been done by his SEN
ior. Yet with his sweet and refined
home atmosphere he is able to realize
his wish and to keep himself free from
the sordid aims and base ambitions
which drag down the man whose bust
ness lies too exclusively in the money
market of the vast Babylon. AS he goes
back every evening from the crowds of
Throgmorton street to the tree lined,
peaceful avenues of Norwood, so he has
found it possible in spirit also to do
ones duties amid the babel of the city
and yet to live beyond it.

Chemistry of Character.

John and Peter and Robert and Paul-
God In his wisdom created them all.
John was a statesman and Peter slave,
Robert a preacher, and Paul was a knave.
Evil or good, as the case may be,
White or coiored OF bond or free,
John and Peter and Robert and Paal-
God In his wisdom created them all.
Out of earth's elements, mingled with flame,
Out of life's compounds Of glory and shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their own
And helplessly into life's history thrown;
Born by the law that compels man to be,
Born to conditions they could not foresee-
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God In his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and heart of his state,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and great.
Peter was made meath life's burden to groan
And never once dreamed that his soul was his
own.
Robert great glory and honor received
For Zealously preaching what no one believed,
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took his fill
And gave up his life In the service of Ill.
1t chanced that these men, In their passing
away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the same
day.
John was mourned through the length and the
breadth Of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash in merciless hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord on his
tongue,
While Paul was convicted Of murder and hung.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
The purpose of life was fulfilled In them ALL
Men said of the statesman, "How noble and
brave"
But of Peter, alas, "He is only u slaver"
Of Robert, ""ris well with his soul; 1t is wellr'
While Paul they consigned to the torments of
hell.
Born by one law, through all nature the same,
What made them different, and who was to
blame?
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God In his wisdom created them all.
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of tho black man is pure as the
white;
Out where the spirit, through sorrow made
wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies;
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith Of the God given soul,
Who shall determine what change may befall
John and Peter and Robert and Paul?
John may in wisdom and goodness increase;
Peter rejoice In an infinite peace;
Robert may learn that the truths of the Lord
Are more in the spirit and less in the word,
And Paul may be blessed with holier birth
Than the patience of man had allowed him on
earth.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God In his mercy will care for them all

Let her rest; the weary night
Never brought her dreams like this.
Let her sleep; the morning light
Shall not wake her from her bliss.
Glad was she to end the fight;
Death had conquered with kiss.
Tired eyes need watch no more;
Flagging feet, the race is run;
Hands that heavy burdens bore,
Set them down, the day is done;
Heart, be still-through anguish sore,
Everlasting peace is won.

THE ST4TE BANK TAX.

Tie report comes from Washington
that President Cleveland favors the re-
peal of the ten per cent tax on state
banks of issue, provided general law is
enacted which will make the money IS
sued current everywhere and secured by
the government. Secretary Carlisle is
reported to be now at work on a meas
ure of this sort to be presented to con-
gress at an early date.
If this is done, it will be much better
to the average citizen or local business
man than any kind of silver Law.
The recent experiments with clearing
house certificates seem to have taught
congress something and paved the way
for the expansion of our currency upon
sound business principles.
But it is due to the common people OF
our country, who would be the chief
sufferes from bad money, that these
mediums of exchange be not rashly
trif1ed with. Let everything be done
with an eye TO the constitution and to
the good of every class of citizens.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.

The Savannah News, one of the very
best authorities in the south on cotton,
takes the following views editorially as
to the future of the staple.
"Within the last seven or eight days
there has been a noticeable advance in
the price of cotton. Two things have
contributed to bring about this crafty
ing condition of affairs. One is feeling
the certainty that the Sherman silver law
will be repealed and the other is the re-
ports from the cotton belt indicating that
a large crop need not be counted on.
'sAs long as there was doubt if money
could be Obtained in sufficient quantity
tonmove the crop the cotton market was
depressed. Buyers were Indifferent, and
besides, the premium on currency had to
be charged up against cotton. AS soon
as it became reasonably certain that the
Sherman silver law would be repealed
there were liberal offerings of monty for
moving cotton, and there was ct once a
healthier tone in the cotton market.
"'Ehe reports from the different cotton
states as to the condition of the cotton
crop are not encouraging to those who
are talking about large crop The re-
ports from the different sections of this
state, for instance, as presented in the
weekly review of the weather bureau of
Atlanta, shows that rust, drought and
storms have damaged the cotton greatly.
cit is true that damage to the crop is
frequently overestimated. Still, there is
ground for saying that from present
signs the crop will not be big one. If
the signs of short crop continue to
multiply and there is no further strin-
gency in the money market, the planters
stand fair chance of getting good prices
for their cotton

A HOAX, OR WORSE.

It is difficult to imagine how sensible
man could for single moment give
credence to the report that the president,
through ex Congressman Blount, is seek
ing to interfere in Georgia state politics,
says the Worth Local.
The presidents life record as a citizen
and statesman is sufficient to give the
lie to this absurdity, which, if it We're
not such, would be an imp0ssibility
Every moment of his time in taken up
with national affairs and the duties of
his office, which are SO pressing that
even his iron constitution is giving way
under them. But even if he had the
time or inclination to dabble in state
politics, he would most assuredly inter-
fere in those states where he is less firm
w established in the hearts of the people
than in Georgia, where he has all to lose
and nothing to gain by such interfer-
ence.
But there are a class of politicians in
this state who have hever forgiven Mr..
Cleveland because he was the choice Of
a majority Of the people. Hence, the
covert attempts to embarrass the admin
istration, and the open alta cks upon it.
They also see in Mr.. Blount a formidable
possibility for the governorship, and by
creating feeling of prejudice against
him and incidently casting shadow on
the president, they hope to kill two birds
with one stone. Such political trickery
is despicable aud contemplate, but is in
keeping with the methods usually pu"-
sned by this corps of politicians.
