Herbert Putnam, unnoticed by any
one, elbowed his way through the
crowd to his brother and touched him
on the arm. Their eyes met. pardon
me-" said Herbert, but must speak
to you," and George Putnam was
drawn beyond the outskirts of the
crowd. Il cannot keep quiet and see
you cheated" faltered Herbert, with
his eyes averted. "a long time ago,
when you and ( were boys, you stood
up for me, and l cannot forget that we
are brothers. Don't bid any more on
Rastus; he is shamming; he is as sick
as he can be, and is only pretending to
be well to bring high price"
The two men glazed into each
others eyes George Putnam was
quivering all over and his face was
softening. Impulsively he put out his
hand as if to apologize for his lack of
words. Lets not be enemies any
longer" went on Herbert, as he
pressed the extended hand. 81 am

am going away, and l may never come
back, l can't keep up the old place
as father thought L would, and you
are welcome to it. Take it and care
for it; mothers and fathers graves are
on it,
George Putnam's face was working;
he strove to reply, but his voice
clogged. He looked toward his son
and wife in his carriage, and then back
into his brothers face. ''God forgive
me, Herb" he said: I've treated you
like dog. Old Rastus has been truer
to you than your own brother You
shall not give up the old place; you
must keep it. Wait!'' And with those
words he hurried to the platform.
The auctioneer had been proclaim
ing Staley's reckless bid of thirteen
twenty-five and the crowd was eagerly
taking in the unusual sight of the two
Putnam brothers in close conversation
Col. Putnam reached the platform and
signed the auctiOneer to be quiet.
Standing on the lower step, he was in
the view of all.
81 want Rastus and l am going to
have him." he said to the upturned
faces. Il want hln to give MIN back
to my brother, who has been forced by
my neglect to offer him for sale.
Twenty thousand dollars is my bid,
and Rastus is worth every cent of it."
No one spoke as Col. Putnam stepped
back into the crowd. Old Rastus
seemed the only one to thoroughly
grasp the situation. ''Bress de Lawd!"
he exclaimed, and he slapped Aunt
Milly on the back. Dem boys done
made up, en- l fotched twenty thou
sand dollars! Whooee!'
Twenty thousand dollars" said the
auctioneer, awkwardly. Twenty

"Aud silent and shy is the Sandman old,
And never, I'm sure since the world began

You may see the old Sandman poss this way.

BENTON, LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER g. 1894.

Bay ard, which promised to look very
like its mamma. There had been a
great quarrel as to the naming of the
child. There were good many quar-
rels now, anyway. Mrs. Bayard had
liked the name of Kathleen-she said
it was her mothers name, and, for NV
part, it seemed that it was very musi-
cal and pretty-but the father was de-
termined upon Beatrice, with the ac-
cent on the second syllable The child
was baptized Kathleen.
When l had gone east on nv leave,
Bayard had begged me to give my at
tention and what personal influence
had to his promotion as captain and
commissary at Washington. He want
ed it even worse than he did foreign
attache-ship.
l saw the turn affairs had taken
that madam was growing stouter, ugly,
and untidy; that she neglected even
the manicure-set for the very noisy and
unprepossessing baby; that poor Bay
ards spick-and-span clothing and ap-
pearance were a thing of the past; that
he looked worn and did not seem to
feel at ease among his brother officers,
So l carried TO him some encouraging
news with regard to his erst-whiIe de-
sired appointment. l told him that l
knew it to be sure thing; that the
enviable post in Washington would
soon be his; that ere long he would
again be in his native air.
An uneasy look came into his fine
brown eyes. He shranlz back as his
wife and the baby came into the room.
For an instant his glance rested on
them.
THANK you, old fellow he said.
81 think l shall be content to pass the
rest of my life on the frontier, far
from the maddening crowd, you
know" he added, with a choking
laugh.
Poor Bayard! And this was the end,
But / knew he was right, and l went
away, leaving him with his future and
with his wife. e.-Gwendolen Overton, in

HENRY CLFws says the impression
steadily strengthens that the industrial
situation is returning to a normal state.
Already, a very large proportion of the
lately suspended machinery of the coun-
try has resumed work, and the still un-
employed is gradually starting up. At
the same time, we notice less complaint
of the anticipated disturbance of produce
ton through the new tariff. This change
of tone is due principally to the fact
that the new conditions in which the
changes of duty will place our industries
are becoming better understood. Some
thing is due also to the widespread re-
duction of wages in almost every en-
ployment, which enables employers to
resume work on lower prices and upon
safer conditions. The distinct revival of
demand, as indicated above, has also q
direct tendency to encourage produc-
ton. Thus, industrial and commercial
affairs, everything seems to be drifting
towards a resumption Of operations, not
Immediately upon a scale Of normal &C.
tivity, but on conditions deemed safe
which may be expected to lead to a
steady expansion Of business.

of great value among the resources Of
the state. Within the past year or SO,
the use of native coal has grown in the
state to become general. Public build
ings are heated by it, private individuals
use it, and it's use results in general sat-
isfaction. Outside the state, however,
it has not obtained any firm foothold as
a marketable commodity. Some time
ago, it was suggested to twin city journ-
ais that it's use in the twin cites would
be a direct benefit to those institutions
using it, financially. Indirectly, too, it
would benefit the cities, as its use there
meant benefit to North Dakota, and as
the traffic of the northwest was with st.
Panl and Minneapolis, increase of
trade meant benefit to those places. The
move of Mr.. Smalley Is probably a result
of these discussions, and should it result
in a test, and a satisfactory one, to plants
in the twin cities, the increase thus
created in the consumption of North Da-
kota coal, will widen the field of opera
tions of coal miners, and afoad substan-
tial aid to the growth of the industry
and to the state.

A NOW in the right direction, and ona
which, if carried out and reported fav-
orably, will result to the benefit of one
of North Dakota's rapidly growing in.
dustries, has been made down in st.
Paul. E. V. Smalley, editor of the
Northwest Magazine, has introduced in
the chamber Of commerce the following
resolution:
Whereas, North Dakota coal burns with
ont smoke, and IL mined in a territory
tributary to the trade of st. Paul; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That the committee on manu-
features is hereby instructed to make in
quiries and report as to the economy and
p~racticability of using such coal in this
city for manufacturing aud steam heating
plants.
The question of the use OF North Da-
kota coal in manufacturing and like
plants of the twin cities, has been agi-
tated for some time. The extent OF
North Dakota's mines and the quality
Of the coal mined therein renders them
