Charity Werner was right. Her brother had
married much richer woman than Miss
Marshdon. Her father was a wealthy Cali
fornian. who had recently visited New York.
Young Richard Werner transacted business
for him and met the beautiful Bessie several
times. The old gentleman guessed the secret
Of their mutual love, and when he was sud-
denly stricken i'll unto death sent for the
lawyer, aud giving his daughter into his
keeping. bade him protect her at once with .
husbands right. He died that day, and on
the next they were quietly married.
Had Mr.. Werner mentioned his troubles be-
fore his daughter-;n-iaw The Cedars would
never have been put up for sale. She only
learned the truth in time to bid the estate In.
Great was Miss Marshdon's chagrin when
she found that again Bessie Werner was her
successful rival.
A few weeks afterward Richard returned
from the West and rejo!ned his wife. The
twins forgot their pride. and accepted homo
at The Cedars from their sister-in-law; and
though she never fully understood the change
in their bearing toward her she was too well
pleased with it to investigate tho matter

Miss Marshdon did not visit the Werner
mansion after the bride entered it until one
afternoon few months later, when she swept
grandly into the house and in lofty tone in
Quired for Mr.. Werner. She was shown into
the library and the two held long confer
ence, which was a secret to the family until
some days afterward: but from that hour the
old gentleman's brow was clouded and
troubled.
Mr., Werner knew that his wife and daugh-
ters must soon find out the purport of Miss
Marshdon's visit, therefore he thought it bet
ter to enlighten them concerning 1t; and one
morning. in the temporary absence OF Bessie,
he announced that the blow had falien The
Cedars would be sold under the hammer
within month. Miss Marshdon had bought
the mortgage the interest on which was over
due. and the Verners were in her power.
Long before she had marked Richard for her
own, and. encouraged by his sisters, hoped to
become his wife. His marriage filed her
with rage and chagrin. She resolved to take
a mean revenge, and informed Mr.. Werner
that the interest on the mortgage must be paid
at once or The Cedars would be sold.
But papa, is there no one who will ad-
vance the money!" cried Charity. Indignantly.
"Oh that mean Selma Narshdon! I would
be ashamed to thus openly show my spite!'
NO." said Mr.. Werner. II shall sell the

said Clemence angrily. ''She has always
wanted grander home than her own, and 1t
will just suit her to send US away and reign
here triumphantiy."
"Oh, papa, you must not part with The
Cedars!'' cried Charity.
Mr.. Werner shook his head.
Its no use, girls, / cannot keep it."
The day of the sale was fixed for the 2ad
Selma Marshdon's lawyer made the first bid;
instantly there was second from the gray
haired village solicitor. There were a few
other bidders, who gradually fell of.
Mr.. Werner looked on in amazement. Al
ready the full value OF the Cedars had been
reached, and still the two kept on. At this
rate the sale bid fair to make his fortune.
Selma Marshdon beckoned to her lawyer.
After a few whispered words from her he re-
turned to his place and made another bid,
which was Immediately outbid by the Silver
ton solicitor. Miss Marshdon's agent was
silent. Much as she coveted The Cedars, the
price was beyond her. After few moments
the hammer went down.
"Who Is the purchaser?"
'Mrs. Richard Werner" said the SiIverton
lawyer.
The name passed from lip to lip. and finally
reached the twins ears. They were sitting
very dejectedly in the morning parlor.
Clemence clutched her sisters arm

"Dick's father ought to have known
It," thought Bessie Werner, ''for that smile
was Dicks very own"
She held out her hand, and there was such
an appealing look in the sweet violet eyes
that it went straight to the old gentleman s
heart; he gave the little hand fatherly
squeeze as he helped her into the carriage.
Mr.. Werner learned from his daughter-in-
law during that homeward drive that she had
recently lost her only relative, her father

she was lady.
When they reached the Cedars Mrs. Werner
stood in the doorway. ready to welcome the
new conner. Her mourning garb and pale
face caused the little woman TO clasp her
daughter-in-law ill a warm embrace. The
wins were not in sight. They were in not
haste to meet this "low-born creature" whom
Dick had married and sent to them. But
they made their appearance in the drawing
room after a while, and their greeting caused
the poor young bride to feel as if she were in
the company OF q couple of icebergs.
The sisters retired early that night, and
proceeded to compare notes regarding their

Speaks Ont Plainly.
New YORK, June 11.-Russell J. Wilson,
attorney for the Cs'a:e of the late Senator
Leland Stanford, said to-day of the claims of
the United States government against the
stockholders of the Southern Pacific COM
pany and the filing of the claim against the
Stanford estate:
Il have been travelling for several days,
ard have heard little of the more recent pro-
ceedings in Congress. l understood that
Congressman Geary was to make speech in
committee on the subject to-day, but have
not heard whether he has done so. and do
not know the latest developments.
Senator Stanford died on June q, 1898.
and the first notice to the creditors of his
estate was published July q following. By
California law all claims not presented within
ten months after such publication are barred
by limitation. So the government. after
waiting until the very last day was almost
over, suddenly injected this claim into my
Office. This was on May 26, a Saturday,
when business hours close at noon.
''Our position is that the government has
no rights over the outside property of the
stockholders. II man owes you a debt Sc
cured by mortgage and promissory note. and
you sell the security under foreclosure. and
the proceeds 90 not pay me note- you stlil
have n claim on him for the balance. But il
you merely have a lien on certain of his prop
erty, all you can do is 10 sell that; you have
no further rights against his property
''We claim that the government has merely
lien on the railroad property They can
take it at the proper time if they wish, but
they cannot proceed further against the stock
holders
If the Stanford estate had to pay this claim
would there be much left?'' was asked

people still remaining. l have not the faint

A HEATED ARGUMENT.
The Pacific Railroad Bill Causes Furry
Before the Committee.


California representatives were given a
hearing to-day by the House Committee on
Pacific Railrods. Representative Geary argued
strongly that the act creating the raad con-
templated that the government should take
possession If there was defaults in payments.
asserting that this explicit recourse barred
the government from other methods of pro-
cedure.
Proceedings against individual stockhold-
ers' estates he considered useless anC doubt
full of success. The government wanted its
money from both the Central and Union
Pacific. he said, but it did not seem fair to
squeeze the Stsnfords and Hopkins and allow
the Goulds and Ames. the greatest capitalists
in the East to go free. He was free to ex-
press his belief that none OF these men for an
instant intended to pay the government debt.
Inquiry was made by Representative Boat
ner what would become with the claims of
honest stockholders. to which Representative
Geary replied that after the government had
recovered some court of equity should be
given power to adjudicate their claim. Then
he proceeded in an impassioned way; Il do
not know why we should put poor old Coxey
in Jail, who tread on three or four blades of
grass and let go another criminal because of
the enormity of his offense who filches hun
dreds OF millions and DEFY him because in his
last moments he erected with his money and
the peoples money a university"
Mr.. Blair. of New Hampshire, interrupted
with the suggestion. there is an old saying,
Judge not that you be not Judged"
"There are many old SAYINGS replied Mr..
Geary, "but we of California are in a position
to Judge. We are proud of that university,
but we are ashamed of the motive that built
it. We know that it was erected from mean
ness and revenge. to destroy another univer-
sity because the graduates of that refused to
make the founder trustee Would You wink
at the crime through which that university
was erected? No respect for men living or
dead should blind us into leaving monuments
to criminals that should be monuments to the
people Of the United States"

small and white as baby's, and no servants

wages would buy such a handsome dress.'
NO responded Clemence. I'm afraid
Dick has done worse than to marry a respect
able servant girl. She must have been an
actress or something of that kind. A mesal-
lance indeed! He knew he could never
marry her with the approval of his family,
and that accounts for his secrecy until the
last moment"
"Of course 1 shall treat her kindly said
Charity, with great magnanimity, "but not
as an equal. Oh, If Richard had only mar
ried Miss Marshdon! Her money would have
retrieved our fallen fortunes. But now that
he has burdened himself with doll wife at
the start, he certainly can never expect to
make his way in the world. Why, Glenn, "
and Charity lowered her voice, .'papa eve n
mortgaged this place heavily to fit Richard
for the bar, and now who is going to pay the
debt OFF, Certainly not he, burdened as he
now is"

true

was rather dull. In Dicks sisters she had
