Very good, said Monckton quietly.

Appalled, by the marvellous transfor-
nation in his young master and almost
staggering OH his legs with amazement,
the overseer departed to execute his or
ders.
When the deputation Of miners, head
ed by Matthew North, was ushered in
to the owners presence by Mr.. Joyce,
they found him seated composedly at
the desk, the mark Of the would be as

In a visibly defiant mood. They re-

THE WOMAN WHO WORKS,
and is tired, will find a special help
in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. Perfectly harmless in any
condition of the female system. It
promotes all the natural functions,
and builds up, strengthens, regulates
and cures. For women approaching
confinement, nursing mothers, and
every weak, rundown, delicate wo-
man, it is an invigorating, support
ing tonic that's peculiarly adapted
to their needs.
But it's more than that, too. It's
the only guaranteed remedy for oil
the functional disturbances, painful
disorders, and chronic weaknesses
of womanhood. In "female COM
plants :" of every kind, periodical
pains, bearing-down sensations, in
ternal Inflammation, and kindred
ailments, if it ever fails to bene-
fit or cure, you have your money
back.
Something else that pays the
dealer better, may be offered as
"just as good" Perhaps it is for
him, but it can't be, for you.

"IThu not 1iro the fCl'0Fs nhnt fley ask,

hanging Upon tree near the main gate,
and this paper was fastened TO the
breast of it by knife .,rivtn through
it. You see the plain threat, sir:''
Scrawled upon the sheet in a rough
uncouth hand were the words:
This For Owners and Oversears.
Monckton tossed the paper aside with
gesture Of contempt.
THAT is not ALL, added Joyce, still
breathing heavily. Some one tried to
set fire to the stables during the night.
If one Of the grcoms had not detected
the smell of smoke i'll time, the building
would surely have gone and the whole
stud with it,
"Oh!" calculated Monckton, slightly
changing countenance, this is serious
indeed. Why not give the fellows
what they ask, Joyce, and stop this
nonsense
Impossible, sir, responded the over
seer, the desrotic instinct triumphing
over his personal terrors. 1T would
give them the whip hand of us, and
there would be no end to their exac-
tons. Yen have intrusted me with
the management of this noble estate,
sir, which was built up by the energy
and talent of your respected father, and
It shall be my duty to see that your best
interests are protected.
To which magniloquent peroration
Mr.. Monckton replied by an amused
look. "Well." he said, take your
own way. Petition the governor to
send US a regiment of troops and bat
terry of guns to put down this tempest
in teapot, if you like. Only let me
hear nothing about it. l have told you
so times that l hate and abhor the
whole thing, from the bottom of the

est chimney, and I won't be bored
with it."

He stood in silence gazing at her as
1t utterly COMPOUNDED. Those who had
known Ralph Monckton best would
hardly have recognized him at that mo-
ment. The careless languor of manner
which had grown second nature, the
cold indifference of expression, the easy
self assurance which seemed but thinly
tohide cynical contempt of all things
all these were gone. A deep flush over
spread his face; his lip trembled as does
that of woman who is about to weep.
Shame, anger and wonder seemed strug-
CLING together within him. The girl
was astonished and perhaps a little
alarmed at the effect of her words, but
she would not retract them.
When at length he spoke. it was not
in the slow, affected voice habitual to
him. 1t was unsteady and full of feel
ing.

FRAUDS IN PENSIONS.


New York Times Says the List II
Not . Roll Of Honor.
The Times, which has been conduct
ing q close investigation into the
abuses Of the national pension system,
said in the issue of March Goth:
The amount of money asked to pay
pensions this year is $l60OO0,O00.
The amount paid for pensions in
1865 was $S,525,153.
The amount paid in 1898 was $780,
TAO, 567.
The number of pensioners in 1865
was 1886.
The number in 1893 was 966,O12.
The total disbursements for pensions
for the period of 186l-93 was 81 ,574,-
OSS,679.
The applications for new pensions
are coming in at as rapid rate as
ever.
In the seven months ended last
October they numbered $500, or
nearly as many as were on the rolls
one year after the war closed.
The cash which the people con-
tribute is being paid out at the rate of
nearly half . million dollars day.
The pension roll has lost all SEM
blance of "roll of honor"
The statisticians' work has been
taken up by the people, frightened by
the magnitude of the draft OF cash on
their pockets, and they have cried
fraud" To this cry there has come
back the reply OF the demagogue, the
politician, the pensioner, and whoever
else was interested: "Show us the
fraud in specific cases"
The Times makes II specific charges,
which it claims to have found TO exist
in fact, and then goes on to describe
what cases are specified by law as
beneficiaries of the government, the
marked increase in the rates granted,
with tables showing the advance
ment made by successive acts; how
the pension commissioners grew liber-
al and their discretionary power was
welded at the expense OF the treasury;
how the act of June u, 1880, opened
the treasury to an altogether new
class of benefciaries, and closes this
installment of the story with a table
showing the number of pensioners and
the amount of money paid for pen
sions each year since 1865 up to and
including the year 1893.

She turned toward him sharply, but
he checked her, adding, with faint
smile:
II am making a clean breast, you
know, and must hide none Of my in

some uniformed philanthropic notions
that were beginning to wander about
in this weak brain of mine, and fell

threatened me with personal outrage

life of quiet contentment, far away from
these petty annoyances, Of which you
were to be the guiding angel" He
laughed short, hard laugh. "Ireally
did indulge in some foolish ideas of
waking from my lethargy, of doing
something fine, and you were to help
me-" He laughed again with mirth-
less self contempt. ~ am awake now,
Imogene. fully awake. And yet" he
spoke in musing tone, leaning his
head against the window pane and
looking out into the garden, lit is

"Ralph!''
He turned around suddenly, as if her
voice had startled him. YES" he said,
taking up his hat to 60, II did not
know it when came here today. But
I do now"
He fixed his eyes upon her a moment
with a wistful expression, as if he hoped
she would speak, but the words would
not come to her lips. In an unsteady
voice he babe her goodby and left her.
AS the door closed upon him she took
step forward as if to recall him; then
she checked herself, and sitting down by
the window rested her head upon her
hand and fell into deep thought.

where he found that individual in the

ments into the wastebasket beneath the
desk.

CHAPTER XI.


Ralph Monckton rode homeward at
q slow space, his mind in strange con-
fusion. He was aware that a great
change had taken place in himself dur
ing the past hour. He was not the man
who had lounged into the presence of
Imogene Duke, resolved to ask her to
be his wife, and yet not certain that he
cared greatly what her answer might
be; not the man without aims, without
beliefs, almost without feelings of any
sort. He had undergone tremendous
shock, and, as he had said, he was now
fully awake, though still bewildered.
Was it resentment, repentance or regret
that was stirring his heart so profound
ly? He could not have said at that
moment. One thing he was sure Of
that he loved Imogene and that he had
lost her. He bitterly cursed his folly
In Offering himself to her with a super
cilious indifference which would lave
sung. the pride of a far less spirited
girl than she was. Even If she had
felt any inclination for him he had done
his best to destroy it. He smote his
thigh with his clinched fist rs he pic
tured himself "a he must have seemed
to her, with his acquired air Of foppish
honchalance. Oh, ass! triple asst that
he was not to have known that this

dwarfed trifler as he had become.

man either goes straight down to the
devil or mounts upward ON the wings
Of a good resolution. And he was near
making up his mind to drop everything,
return to Paris and drown his newly
awakened conscience and his hopeless
love in the widest dissipation to be
bought for money in that world mart of
artistic wickedness. It was a strange
thing that turned his thoughts the 9TH
or way.
He was passing through q piece of
woods where the road was hardly more
than a bride path, bordered on either
side by dense underground, when the
report of a rife and q keen, stinging
pain in his right temple rudely aroused
him from his meditation. He put his
hand to the spot and withdrew 1t COW
cred with blood. The bullet had
grazed his head within the fraction of
an inch Of his brain. A puff Of pale
blue smoke was floating upward from
the bushes beside the road.
He spurred his horse close up to the
spot and called out:
''show yourself. you cowardly scoun-
drel!"
The only reply to his challenge was
the tramp Of swiftly retreating foot
steps and the crashing Of heavy body
through the underwood.
Nonckton waited until the sounds
died away; then, giving no heed to the
blood which flowed freely from the

CHAPTER TX.

MONCkiON fhOfOSAL.
That afternoon when he called upon
Miss Duke the girls quick eye detect
ed something unusual in his manner,
and she was not long in learning the
cause.
"They mean to force you to extrem.
ities," she said thoughtfully. "You
must either fight or yield to their de-
mands. Which are you going to do?''
''I?" he queried. lifting his eyebrows
in mild wonder. II shall do nothing.
1t is Joyce's quarrel. He got into it,
and he must get out of it as best he
may"
Surely" she exclaimed incredulous-
ly, "you cannot be in earnest. You,
the employer of these men, cannot
stand quietly by while".-
Pardon me-" he said easily, 81
shall not stand by at all. I shall go
away and let Joyce and the men have it
out together"
He looked at her inquiringly, as if
expecting some word of approval, but
as she uttered none he continued:
II hoped that you would applaud my
RESOLUTION 10 GET away from the WnOi0
detestable business. In fact" he
Strengthened himself up and adjusted
his eyeglass with a slightly nervous
gesture, Il hoped you would be willing
to 60 with me-"
Il do not think l quite understand
you," she responded coldly.
He arose, and drawing near to where
she sat said, with a formal tone and
manner in which, however, there was
an underlying agitation:
Il wish to put myself and my for
tune at your disposal. Will you honor
me by accepting them?"
She arose in turn and confronted him,
flushing and paling by turns.
II presume, as a gentleman, you
would not jest upon such subject. u
Her voice was hard and firm.
Il certainly would not" he an
swered. "But why do you ask?''
Because your proposition must be
either jest or an insult" was her re-
tort. I'm this country men are SUP.
