CHAPTER II.

CHAPTER IL.
A large, dark apartment, luxuri-
ously, even magnifcently furnished.
A smouldering fire in an open crate,
the curtains closely drawn. Two men,
strangely alike in face and form, but
differing greatly in dress. One richly
attired, the other, plain, even seedy,
or that order known as shabby gen.
teel.
They are standing before the CRATE,
the titful fire shining, ever and anon,
upon the faces of these two, as they
stand silent-the richly dressed gentle
man with look of resolute determine
ton in his eyes, the other wild, eager,
beseeching. Then you cannot help
me-" he says at last.
You have my answer" replies the
other.
A look of anguish comes to the face
Of the seedy man.
''My God, Adrian" he cries, my
wife, my little one-they are starving,
tell you. Suffering from the actual
necessities of life. Surely you can rem
der me some little aid. You surely will
not turn from me so coldly, with such
indifference" His tone has grown be-
seeching.
81 have told you, Franklin, that I
cannot help you. did not say that 1
would not. am powerless to aid you. I"
The man looks about upon the evi.
dences of wealth and refinement every
where visible, and bitter smile comes
to his lips.
Cannot, powerless," he murmurs.
1.-THE price of one article of furniture
here would suffice to relieve me of my
pressing need"
The other fushes, his face grows
fiery.
do you expect me to dispose Of my
furniture to feed your wife and your
brats?" he cries, harshly.
The shabbily clad man turns upon
him quickly.
"Be careful" he says, in low tone.
"They are my children, not brats; l
love them with the fond affection of a
father. Turn your heart against me if
you will, but do not speak i'll of my lit
tie ones" His voice though low. sounds
fierce and angry. The man of wealth
draws back in alarm.
II spoke without thinking" he
mutters. 81 did not mean to hurt
your feelings"
The man does not reply-does not
seem to hear the words of the other.
His gloomy eyes are rowing about the
apartment. his lips are moving.
What can do?" he mutters. what

The brother looks after him, and
then, with sigh, rs he hears the door
close behind him, leaves the room and
ascends the stairs leading to the floor
above.
A violent ring at the door-bell ar
rests him half way up the staircase.
He hastily descends and opens the
door. DR.. Wilbur rushes past him.
"The women are keeping me busy

ters the hall. ''Gardner's wife has
just increased the population; and

He buries his face in his hands-but
only for q moment. With a passionate
gesture, he dashes away the tears that
have come to his ewes and again speaks
to the other fercely.

A NATTER OF BUSINESS.

How do you stand with your subscrip-
ton. This is an interesting proposition.
Notice the label on your paper and II IL
is out you should renew, at once, that is
il you want the paper continued to your
address. Don't treat the matter indif-
ferently or pass it over in joke like a
prominent citizen did the other day.
We called bis attention to the fact that
his subscription had expired. He laugh
ed at us. 1.-THE idea Of you wanting pay
in advance" and at the same time, had
his pockets full of money, walking of
with an Indifferent air, as much as TO say,
you can wait till get ready to pay this
Now suppose twenty, or even ten OF our
subscribers treat us in this manner every
day. One can readily see what it amounts
to, in the course OF a year. And then
on the other hand suppose our paper
merchant presents us with bill for
paper, and we have the money in hand,
stuff it down in our pockets and say "you
can watt" and pass the matter off in a
joke, how long would that man continue
to ship us paper? There is no joking OF
laughing of our bills, when they fall
due. We have to pay or the supply
stops. There is no joke about running
newspaper. 1t is business enterprise
just the same as merchandising, banking
or anything else. The man that takes
the News a year and pays for it gets full
value received for his money. There is
no joke, fun or sentiment about it. We
are not complaining, We are glad to say
We have very few jokers on our list when
it comes to paying. These few remarks
are just thrown out to let our readers
know that to run good newspaper like
the News is no joke.

TIE late census report discloses the
startling fact that there are $50 more
married men in Kentucky than there
are married women. This can be ac-
counted for only upon the theory that
some women have more than one hus-
band. Now, in other sections OF the
country men are frequently discovered
who have plurality of wives hid away
in secret places, but here at home the
balance is against the men. 1t seems
that Breckenridge is the only Kentucky
gentleman" who has, Of late, made any
effort whatever to keep up our old-time
reputation for gallantry.

WILL the Democratic party again go

the faith. This will have much to do
