other. Ruth had said "Good-by," as
tndifferently as II the far West was
Just across the river. Well, the further
the better for such an unlucky dog.
Now. while the Captain was thus
unworthily cursing his fate, one Jonas
Watts was cursing the Captain for good
fortune. Surely Omniscience would save
many curses; yet 1t might provoke more.
This Jonas Watts was a distant con-
nection of the senator and his private
secretary. He had written from dicta-
ton the Personal and Confidential Com
m%unication to the Head of the War
Department" which Ruth had solicited,
and so knew very well what he was
swearing about. In early youth Jonas
had lost his left arm, and with II the
desirable part of his character. Why is
1t that the amputation OF a limb gener-
ally cuts off n greater proportion of
the victims AVAILABILITY? Possibly one
who has suffered wonders at the modera-
ton of the change.
At all events, Jonas was grabbed and
envious and mean, d~elighting. in spiteful
u%tterances which could not recoil. Since
he lived with the Senator 1t follows that
he loved his cousin Ruth, for he never
cared for one who cared for him. Prob
ably he had never really had the chance,
yet he had always condemned the notion.
Why not, indeed? 1t was the arm that
he had lost hat he valued.
Jonas was astute, for his qualities
wore prying. He had long since per-
ceived what the poor Captain had never
suspected. The letter was proof OF con-
viction, for when the Senator asked u
favor he meant It TO be granted n had
reason for the asking.
Tomas desire to be loved rendered him
more disagreeable, just as muddy water
becomes muddier when stirred. He was
dreaded like a plague throughout Aber-
deem, yet people courted him, just as
they got y~accinated. Foo the further OF
he was, the ~weightier was his shadow.
ND while he was ca~stigating the absent
those present escaped. Thus. when Tim
my Cephers set about arranging for the
dinner, he first put down the name of
Jonas Watts, and then proceeded to the
business of counteraction Luckily here

| Peculiar Acton OF the Jury IN the
Michigan Central Wreck.

JACKSON, Mich. Oct. H.-Testimony
In the Coroner's inquest over the VIC
tins of. the recent Michigan Central
wreck was concluded last night.
When the room was cleared the jury
created a sensation by marching out of
the room in a body and proceeding to
a lunch-room.
About an, hour afterwards they were
found by the Coroner in a shoe store,
and on their refusal to give any e
PLANTATION of their conduct, to say where
they had been, wha. they had done and
when they would retIrn. the Coroner
went home with the declaration that
he would receive no verdict from the
Jury,
