Frenchwoman putting things to order:
Little fiend. She has quite worn me
out. Anyone could tell that she was

woman. And now she sleeps like an

Evidently the bonnie had had her diff

Not syllable 1 wish did, for
Ninette's sake"
Mrs. Lorimer had been accounted a
fair French scholar in her school-days.
She was glad now that the rusty ac-
quirement had stood her in such good
stead.
MIR. Lorimer did not write you about
Ninette, I imagine" Nora said, some

Eyes; of course. There was no time,

And-about Ninette he knew nothing
at all until after the ceremony"
Ibid not know what?"
''Did not know that she was to be
with US. did not know it myself"
"Strange. Exceedingly strange. To
whom does the child belong?.'
Johns wife looked away from the
stern face so close to hers, before an
swering, slowly:
ITO me-now. am all she has in
the world. She is the daughter of my
only sister,
''And your sister is"
"Gone."
The answer came after a strangely
deliberate pause. Either Johns wife
was growing more and more confused,
or else she was congealing under the
frigid conditions of the moment. Johns
mother was becoming positively magis-
terial.
''And the father of the child?"
1--WE never speak of him.
''Humph! suppose she has a
name?"
''Ninette.';
But surname. One might call a
poodle, a pet lamb, or a stray kitten,
Ninette."

SIT is sufficient for my pet lamb" said
Johns wife, softly. Then the small
young woman, perhaps tired of being
badgered, looked the large old woman
almost defiantly in the face.
"Mother-in-law, please don't take a
dislike to my poor little Ninette. She is
such a tiny body, eats so little, and oc.
cupies so very little space. One could
easily lose her in this grand old house.
shall make Celeste keep her out of
your way as much as possible"
1t was unwisely said. Mrs. Lorimer
felt herself ignobly misconstrued. That
does not tend to improve a woman's
temper. She abhorred mystery. And
here was Johns wife tainting the pure
air of White Cliffs with it, at her very
first appearance. She turned away
with dark frown. Nora pushed her
hair behind her small ears with a tired
gesture. Her lids were hot with the
ence of that stern old woman. The mis-
tress moved slowly toward the door.
Suddenly Nora stood between her and
it. She had a wistful sort of face and a
voice of infinite sweetness:
Will you not call me daughter once
before yoa go? 1t will be robbing no
one. And will you not say: God bless
Johns wife, just once?"
The rigid lines about the elder wom-
ans mouth relaxed. She raised her
right hand with an uncertain motion.
Suddenly it fell by her side like thing
of lead, and she turned away with a
curt good night"
Not yet. Not yet. Celeste's words
came back to her and banished the
asked-for blessing from her lips:
anyone could tell that she was the
offspring of devil and light woman -
Neither bane nor blessing ever fell
lightly from the lips of the mistress of
White Cliffs.

PINE AND ASPEN.

And well have sung the poet folk

And what they said were words Of love,
But theirs that praise. not mine.

When in the morn the edge OF day

And down along the vallcyway
To where the torrent shrieks.

And darl.ly stands the pine tree thief
In robe it stole of night,
Until the later rudy glare
Bursts down the timber line
And sheds morning glory there

Oh, deep within the mountain heart

Will BE Investigated.

MILWAUKEE, June 6.-The failures Of
Frank Lappen & Co. and the Planl<in-
ton bank will be investigated by the
grand jury called to investigate the
matter of the recent fires. Judge Wall
Der, in delivering his charge, read Sec
tons of the statutes referring to the
obtaining of credit by false statements
and the acceptance of deposits when
bank officials know that the bank is
not in sound condition. The first sec
ton, the court intimated, referred to
the Lappen matter and the other to the
Plankinton bank. The action of Judge
Wallber has created a sensation.

IN EARLY NEW YORK.



rcsentative of the Est. blished Church.
In point of morals. the New York Of
| two hundred years ago seems to have
been about on par with frontier towns
and outpost settlements of the present
day. About the time that Gov. Dongan
made his report to the board of trade,
the Rev. John Miller-for three years a
resident of the colony as chaplain to
the kings forces addressed to the then
bishop of London letter in which he
reviewed the spiritual shortcomings of
the colonists. Mr.. Miller's structures
upon the Disseaters, naturally warped
by his point of view, scarcely are to be
quoted in fairness; but of the clergy
men of the Establishment, towards
whom his disposition would be lenient,
he thus wrote: There are here, and
also in other provinces, many of them
such as, being of a vicious life and con-
versation, have played SO many vile
prauks, and show such an i'll light, as
have been very prejudicial to religion
in general and to the Church of En-
gland in particular" Continuing. he
gence of divine things that is generally
found in the people, of what sect or
sort soever they pretend to be- And,
in conclusion. he declares: I'm soil
SO rank as this no marvel if the Evil
One finds ready entertainment for
the seed he is ready to cast in; and
from a people so inconstant and re-
gardless of heaven and holy things no
wonder if God withdrew His grace and
give them up prey to those tempta-
lions which they SO industriously seek
to embrace"
These cheering remarks relate to the
province at large. Touching the citi-
zens of New York in particular, the
reverend gentleman briefly but forcibly
describes them as drunlzardr and gam
blers, and adds: This. joined to their
profane atheistical and scoffing method
of discourse, makes their company ex-
tremely uneasy to sober and religious
men. Thomas A. Janvier. in Harper

A Matter of Health

TTcosts more to make Royal Baking Powder
i than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety. All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum

A Kansas City Concern With Elevators at

KANSAS, CITY, Mo-, June 6.-There
was a furry created on change yes
terday when the announcement was
made that the Kansas Grain Co. had
suspended payment. The news was a

SATURDAY EVENING NOV. II, 1898
WERE TT not for the timidity that

WERE IT not for the timidity that
has characterized the actions of the
congressional leaders OF the democrats
ever since the war, no body would
credit the present talk, to the effect
that they are alarmed at the result OF
the late elections, and are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY Of abandoning their
previous purpose of passing demo
cratic tariff bill, one simply and solely
for revenue. But the course they have
invariably pursued in the past gives
credence to the talk referred to, and
adds even a murkier hue to the demo
cratic prospect than that painted last
Tuesday. But there is no sense 1t.
In 1890 the democrats won great vic
tory in the congressional elections, in
which low tariff was the chief ques-
ton. In 1892, at the Presidential cleo
ton, they gained another, when the
same question was at issue. The vast
majority of the people of this country
are poor, and to suppose that such PEG,
pie would vote against party simply
because it wants to reduce by one hal!
the cost of their necessaries of life,
would imply that either they or the
supposers are devoid of common
sense. If the tariff had any thing to do
with causing the recent democratic de-
feat, it was the belief of the voters, en-
gendered by the impolitic delay in
passing a reform tariff bill, which had
been vice promised them, that they
were again to be deceived, rather than
the fear of the passage of such a bill;
aud those who can't view the matter in
this light know little or nothing of hui
man nature.

Train Held Up.

BARDwELL, KY, Nov. 1l.-Three
closely masked robbers held up north
bound train on the main line of the Hi
nois Central early this morning at May.
field Creek trestle, two and one-hali
miles north of Maytleld junction. The
express car was robbed Of two money
packages, one containing S33, and the
other bag of money containing an UNI
known amount in transfer from Mem
phis to Chicago. The express messen-
ger saved the remainder of the con-
tents of the safe. None of the passen-
gers were molcsted. About 8 o'clock
while the train was leaving Bardwell,
three men climbed over the tank and
one of the robbers said to Engineer
Clark Pull out as soon as you can"
At the same time the robber grabbed
The left arm of the engineer and one Of
them put A Colts revolver under
his ear, ordering him at the same time
to do what they wanted or they would
kill him. At that time the fireman
ran away and got on the pilot of the
engine where he remained in hiding
until the robbers had finished their
work. The engineer wanted to get
down and put in some coal but the rob-
bers refused to let him stir from his seat
in the cab. One of them did the firing
for him from Eardwell to Port Jeffer-
son and ordered him to stop the train
on the Mayield trestle. After the rob-
berry the robbers got aboard the engine
and compelled the engineer to carry
them to Port Jefferson where they
descended and made their escape. The
sheritis ofBallard and Carlisle counties
and the marshal at Fulton, Tenn, as
soon as they were notified of the hold
up started with posse in different di-
rections to hunt the robbers with blood
hounds.
