CHAPTER III.

Another week flew by.
Garland was ready to swear that the
frolicsome little sprite loved him, for she
allowed him to duck her whenever he
wanted to, and told him her age
Her papa and mamma treated him gra-
ciously, and Evelyn displayed toward him
ssterly regard. The Summer Man was
thoroughly pleased with the family. The
coilege-boy brother was verdant to an
alarming degree. but he was of playing
tennis most of the time, so the Summer
Man was spared the pleasure of his society.
Mr.. Percy Montant never appeared in
the family circle, and his name was never
mentioned. -
Constance grew more charming every
day, ana hsr sayings were fresher than the
freshect of the breezes that blew across the
Fay. oShe even treated her verdant brother
with perfect decency
"a girl of that kind would make an ideal
Wife" said Garland to himself.
He congratulated himself over and over
again that he had written to the heiress,
and that the coast was clear. How proud
he should be to present the fellows to Con-
stance as his tianeee.. in the fall.
He was to meet mis- little sweethreat at
that afternoon, and in order to while
away the time from dinner until that hour
he thought he would stroll down to the
rocks. -..
He was in the gayest mood. No clouds

rugged gray surface was lighted up with
micaceous sparkles, he climbed to Its sum-
NIT and sat down.
The rollers broke at the foot of the rock
and Walter sat dreamily listening for the
report and watching for the shower which
followed.
Presently he became conscious OF voices
below him, over the brow of the rock. 1t

How to CoSk the Terrapin.
The orthodox waylof cooking the terrapin
is to stew it. Mr. iBtevenson found the peo-
pie of Tangi>r Islap$ with whom the ter
rapin Is not luxurY,smaking potpe Of 1t.
There are many ways of cooking the ter
rapin. Sam Ward,i the famous American
epieure. is said to ,hayf delighted the Prince
of Wales with ISEfacular recipe. One OF
the best restaurateurH In the country gives
the following directions for terrapin stew
1mmerse the texrapin in boiling water
and let 1t boil for twenty minutes. Remove
the lower shell, cutting away the meat from
it carefully. Removal gall bag and liver
(being careful not tn break gall bag), throw
the gall bag away and cut the liver into
dice. Remove the meat from the uppe,
shell, disjoint and place in stew pau, with
the pieces Of liver and half pint Of the
liquor in which the terrapns was, boiled
sauce. Melt two ounces best butter. adj
enc ounce -four, one pint milk, season with
salt cayenne pepper and dash of nut
meg Bring to the boiling point. but do not
boil Add to the terrapin when cooked a
gill of fine Madeira, add the sauce, ard
serve on hot plates. t-- -
p The latest statistics of the fish commits
sion on the subject Of terrapin are for 1891
They. show that the total product of the
middle Atlantic states In that year was 157,
OS1 pounds, against 237, 1OS pounds in 1SSO.
The value of this take in 1891 was s44,01S.
The whole product of the United States in
1880 was 406.30s pounds. valued at SAILS:
which shows that the product of the middle
Atlantic states in 1891 was worth the whole
product Of the United States in 1880, though
1t was equal to only two-fifths Of its bulk.
This is pretty fair index of the increase
in price consequent on the increased de-
mand for the terrapin and the decreased
supply. Still. it will be a good many years
before the wild terrapin disappears and the
country is dependent on the terrapin
farmer. GEORGE GRANTHAM Balm,

The progress made on the tariff bill
during the last few days has encour-
aged the belief that it will become a
law by July Is, and in that case treas

no necessity for another bond issue.
They argue that as soon as importers
know what duties they will be re
quired to pay they will at once place
their orders that have been held
during the last several months pend
ing the tariff settlement. A large in
crease in the receipts from internal
revenue is also expected. For this
reason the depletion of the gold reserve
is not causing uneasiness to treasury

The Settlement OF Miners Strikes T2!1es
Better Times in Pennsylvania.
PITTsBuRGH. Pa, June 19.-The set
tlement of the great coal strike in this
district and the return to work today
Of Is. 900 Of the &c. 600 miners in western
Pennsylvania, has given an Impetus 70
all kinds of business and the situation
is more hopeful than at any time for
many months.
WHAT THE STRIKE COST.
PIrTsBURGH, Pa. June ia well in
formed authority in the coal business
estimates that the coal strike in this
district has cost the miners in wages
81. SEQ 900, taking it for granted that
the normal output of the region had
been retained. In proportion to the
general output this district mined
about one-siXth of the coal dug in
the area affected by the strike. With
a reasonable proportion between the
prices paid in this and other districts,
the loss in wages alone, says the same
authority, would be over S10,00)o00.
Estimating the gain Of the miners by
the settlement of the strike to be 10
cents ton over former prices. it will
take them one and One-half years to
make up by increase Of earnings for
the time they have lost.

Narrowing Story Of an Anarchist
Plot.
Sensational Report About Blowing Up the
Capitol and Other Buildings Which
Is Positively Denied-Treas-
ury Deficit.
A Sensational story.

WASHINGTON, June lS.-An anarchist
plot to blow up the public buildings in
Washington has been discovered by the
district police. The leader Of the an
archists is LII. j. Jaxon, a half-breed
French Canadian who has for years
been closely identified with the Chi
cago anarchists. and whose office has
been located in the Times building in
that city.
For weeks past house at 1921 Yer
mont avenue, in this city. where the
secret meetings Of the anarchists have
been held. has been watched by the
police, and man named De Masters,
known both as doctor and professor,
and an ex-Episcopalian minister, has
attended the meetings and is the in
fOrmant.
The formula from which the eXplo-
sives were to be made has been OBJ
tained the compound made and tested
Even with the knowledge that the
facts were to be published, the police
refused to give out the information
in their possession as to the extent OF
the plot or the names Of the men Whc
were associated with JaXOn. 1t is
settled that eight men met regularly
at 1921 Vermont avenue, but whether
could not be learned Jaxon will be
remem bered as chief lieutenant to
Louis Reil in the half-breed Canadian
rebellion. Last night it was believed
all the anarchists had fled.

ATCUSON. Kan. June 20.-A suit for
$1,000 was filed in the district court
here yesterday afternoon against Gov.

commissioners of Atchison. The suit
is in favor Of the 12-year-old daughter
Of Bert Phelps, who alleges that by
reason Of these officials failing to do
their duty in suppressing joints" her
father has been drunlIard. and that
she has not been provided for as She
would have otherwise. The mother of
the child brought a similar action
against the city and county for $4,000
several days ago. 1t is alleged in the
action just begun that Gov. LeWclling
and the other officials knew that
whisky was being sold here contrary
to law, yet they permitted it, simply
because the saloon men paid consider
able money for the privilege. The at
torney in the case says that the matter

NEW SILVER BILL.

Senator Squire Has One That He Believes
Will Receive Favorable Consideration.
WASHINGTON, June %. - Senator
Squire and many of the republican BIZ
metallists believe that the bill which
the Washington senator recently in
trodu ced, regulating free coinage Of
silver, will be compromise upon
which the republicans cLn unite in the
next campaign.
In an interview last night he stated
the finance committee would probably
take this bill up for consideration as
soon as the tariff was disposed Of. The
Bland bill Of 1873 he contends was
wrong in principle, because it provided
that the government should buy silver
instead of coming it for whoever
brought it to the mint. With proper
safeguards free coinage is claimed to
be the safe policy with the parity main
tained between all classes Of money,
Regarding the operation Of his meas
ure Senator Squire said
NY bill provides that the difference between
the commercial value ana the coin value Of a
silver dollar shall 20 into the treasury Of the
