THE CLINK OF GOLD.
CHAPTER I.

II was winter night. was sitting
over the fire at my chambers in the
Middle Temple, and my friend, Frank
Bowsor, was pacing about tho room.
Arthur, said he, stopping sudden
ly and tossing bag of gold toward tho
ceiling. II shall soon claim the hand Of
Alice Darrell now."
Again he pitched the bag OF gold into
the air, and the pieces of money, clink-
ing together. sent forth low, ringing
sound.
'Bowser, said /, drawing my arm
chair closer to the fire, this is danger
ous scheme. 1t will end in disaster.
Take my advice and don't pursue it
further"
In tho old college days Bowser had
gained a reputation for rocklessness,
and he had not changed in character
since. AS expected, his answer was a
laugh.
His infexihility irritated me.
"Can you not realize" exclaimed,
"what IA risk you are running? You 90
out nearly every night on this strange
search. You take no precaution that /

containing large suurof gold, and no
has never been heard of since.
With these words Bowser rose from
bis scat and began to pace up and down
she room, playing with his bag OF gold
In an excited manner.
"Yes," said he presently, "the muir
ierer escaped, but 1 have sworn to solve
this mystery as TO who is the murderer

ment. IL the villain is alive. / will

Darrell more than my life, and for her !
would run any risk. Mr.. Darrell was
my friend. i honored him as much as II
he had been my own father"
He stopped. glanced around the room
with savage energy expressed in his
face, and then, flinging up the bag OF
sovereigns defiantly, he cried: "But the
clink OF gold will some day awaken the
evil consciencei The man who COM
mitted this crime will betray himself
at last. His guilt will be branded on his
face, like an ugly scar, when he hears
the sound-clink, clink, clink! There is
no escape. The conscience is stronger
than the man."
Again Bowser tossed up the bag Of
gold and paced the room, more excited
than ever.
"My dear Bowser, / exclaimed, "for
heavens sake, be rational! To visit, as
you do, the lowest haunts in London, TO
mix among savages-for some of these
men in the east end are nothing better
lis TO expose yourself to real dangers.
These sailors know the sound Of gold
only too well. Some night you will, i
again warn you, be robbed and muir
dered. And that" added-'that will
scarcely be agreeable news for me to
carry to Alice Darrell Once more let me
seriously advise you to abandon this
scheme. And Scroggie," added
"Scroggie will, know, support me in
my appeal
Abandon it?' said Bowser as he
walked toward the door, "Why, I've
already taken two or three sharp detect
ives into my confidence. Good night.
| I'm going TO meet one now."
AS he went down the passage I heard
the clink, clink of his bag of gold. and
it seemed expressive of his contempt for
my opinion, and when he had slammed
the outer door of the chambers and his
footsteps ON the staircase had died
away the sound was stiSl ringing in my
ears.

CHAPTER III.

No sooner had Frank Bowser gone
than Scroggie's s whole manner changed.
His face grew cheerful, and his voice
sounded natural and pleasing.
"Does Bowser entertain you in this
musical style every night?" said Scrog.
gle, with laugh.
"Yes," saidI stirring the fire into
blaze. "It's habit which seems TO have
become n necessary part Of his exist
ence. AS you or may derive pleasure,
for example, from quaint thought, so
Bowser derives pleasure from the sound
of gold. In fact, he fancies that he does
not deserve to gain Alice Darell's whole
heart until he has succeeded in clearing
up the mystery as to who murdered her
father. II is strange mistake. j know
Miss Darrell well, and although j have
never mentioned this subject to her
am convinced that she would be the first
20 dissuade him. Indeed | have no
doubt she has done so already if she
knows anything about his scheme.
Prank Bowser is mad, " said Scrog-
gle.
Tomorrow evening" said /, Miss
Pilkington--an aunt with whom Miss
Darrell is living-expects me to after
noon tea. / shall go early, and before
Bowser arrives try to learn what they
know about the matter shudder when
l think what may happen.
"Then don't think" said Scroggie.
LET us change the subject"
You're right" said /, rising from
my seat and standing with my back to
the fire and looking round the room.
You're right. Let's change the sub
ject."
Scroggie had also risen and had
glanced at the sideboard and then at
the bookcase.
II suppose" said he, turning over
the leaves of volume-"I suppose you
| haven't dined. Have you?''
SO we'll did know Scroggie's charac-
! ter that / was at once convinced by the
manner in which he put this question
that he had not dined. When or where,
in fact, he ate anything was another
/ problem, as deep as the one as to when
or where he slept. had often thought
when trying TO puzzle out the life
since our school days of this strange in
dividual that he never slept anywhere
or ate anything except within my cham
bers. He was always supernaturally
hungry, though, TO do him justice, he
adopted all the gentlemanly devices
which he could invent in order to con-
ceal his voracity.
OF course declared that had had
nothing TO eat worth mentioning since
the morning, though, in truth, / had
dined sumptuously at the Old Cock tav-
ern with Frank Bowser at o'clock.
But il was nearly IL, and j did not
doubt that / should be able to do justice

other luxuries placed by Mrs. Billings,
my laundress, that afternoon in my cup

MIR. STLV..NS REPLIES,
Says He Never Favored the Fee
Bill

Says He Never Favored the Fees
Bill.
ST. PAUL, Oct. %, 1894. To the Eli.
tor: In this mornings issue of the
GLOBE referring to the bill relating to
fees OF officials OF Ramsey county, you
say: "The next place it showed up was
i'll the senate, under the guardianship
of John B. SanbOrn and Hiram F.
Stevens. Senator Dean opposed it. but
was withdrawn from the senate in much
the Same manner as Mr.. Sullivan had
been from the house, and the bill passed
the senate"
As have always observed spirit of
fairness on your part toward political
opponents, call your attention to the
record, as cannot believe that you de-
sire to create wrong impression. The
senate journal for 1893, page IT'S. shows
that the bill, which was Senate File No.
567. was Oh April II. 1898, introduced
by Senator Sanborn, and the rules sus-
pended ana the bill passed. Senators
Lienau and Sanborn voting for 1t, and
Senators Dean and Stevens not voting.
We were both in the house and before
the house committee OH public
buildings a good deal of the
day, where the capitol bill
was then pending. On page 7S9 of the
journal of the same day appears the
following: "Mr. Stevens offered the
following resolution: 'Resolved, That
the house of representatives be and are
hereby respectfully requested to return
S. F. No. 567 to the senate for further
consideration and moved lis adoption.
AdopteI.' The Dili was returned, and
remained IN the secretary's desk until
April IA. when, just before recess, APP
pears the following: "Mr. Sanborn
moved that S. f. No. SGT be returned to
the house, which motion prevailed. /"
Neither Senator Dean nor myself was
present at this time. l neither voted
Tor nor favored the bill, and it could
not have become law at the late day
when it was returned to the house, ex-
cept by unusual methods. Yours re-
Spectfully. II. F. STEVENS.

LIGHTER THAN LAST SPRING.
At Least ~ Per Cent Of the
Vote OF st. Paul Is Yet to
Enroll.
ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT FORT.
And Each of These Is Only
From Noon to 9 O'Clock
at Night.

EAe registration of yesterday. the
second day for this fall. amounts To
about 5,2G0,or about So per cent as much
as one week ago. This makes about IS
per cent as many voters as was regis.
tered last spring up to the last day be-
fore election. The falling off in the
registration yesterday leaves the regis
tration lighter than Tor the two first days
last spring. The fact that there is at
least az per cent Of the vote to be yet
registered indicates lack of organiza-
ton for this work. Taking the registra-
ton OF fifty-three precincts yesterday
shows about 1850 names added to the
books as. compared with $500 a week
ago. Further comparisons may be made
from the subjoined table of precincts
from which returns were gathered last
night:
