CHAPTER K.

THE STORY OF MIssPENT YOUTH.
Rarely, Think" said Monckton at
length, has any man listened to ouch
accusations as you have brought against
me today. You certainly have not
spared me, but meted out full judg-
ment on my SINS. Yet, all unworthy as
am, might rake together poor de-
Tense from the ashes of a misspent past.
My father, as you know, began life az
a common laborer in the mines that
afterward became his own. He worked
his way upward by methods which,
whether my moral sense approves Of
them or not, am too weak of fiber to
initiate. Like many of his class, he
did not comprehend the dignity of toll,
but bowed down, poor SOUL to the hol-
low ef6gy which in this country goes by
the name of aristocracy. He resolved
that his son should be a gentleman
that is, he should be college bred, dress
we'll, spend money lavishly, drive fast
horses, keep an expensive establishment
in short, become genteel loafer. He
rigidly excluded me from all knowledge
of his business-time enough for that,
he said, when he should have passed
away. My business was to be pleasure.
His greatest delight was to see my name
in the papers beside doubtful titles and
still more doubtful regulations. Think
had startled Paris with one of those
scandals which furnish gossip for the
jackals of society and dozen columns
Of American reprint he would have
been perfectly happy. But somehow my
innate American decency kept me from
the worst degradation. went to Paris,
green boy, with the bank account of
financier. l was surrounded by para
sites who drained my purse and laughed
at me. was flattered by women the
touch Of whose jeweled fingers sent a
shudder through me. l plunged into
dissipation and came ont hating myself
and all the world, tired, disillusion-
lied, believing in nothing, despising
men and distrusting women. Doubt
less had been stronger l should have
passed through the ordeal unscathed.
Being only poor Ralph Monckton, l be-
came"-he shrugged his shoulders
"you have just told me what"
He began to pace mp and down the
room again with his hands behind him
and his head bent.
MY fathers death called me to the
charge of the mines-a sorry farce in
deed! What could the idler of the Paris
boulevards know of practical affairs?
And why should have cared to know?
l was already too rich, and 1 had none
Of the strange ambition which leads
men to pile fortune upon fortune. My
inheritance was simply burden which
l was neither willing nor fitted to bear.
/ employed an overseer to manage the
mines, laying single injunction upon
him-never upon any account to trou-
BILE me with business details. Vague
rumors of discomfort among the miners
came to my ears. l paid no attention
to them. The employer and employee
are natural enemies, and there is al
ways war between them and always
will be until the conditions of life are
equalized. That is not my discovery

Wreck Of a Large Steamer
on Lake Huron.

LET TAwAs, Mich, Nov. 22.--Not even
a pencil mark could be found on large
quantity of wreckage which has been
thrown upon the beach by the storm near
Fish Point, five miles north of
here on Lake Huron. The indentity of
the steamer which went to the bottom
some where on the point Thursday or Fri
day remains mystery, even after many
hours hunting over the wreckage for her
name. Everything thrown upon
the beach indicates that the steamer was
of the largest size, as the broken tim
bers are all OF great length. In
this case she probably had a crew OF
about 20, all OF which are undoubtedly
lost. The wreekage is strewn along the
beach for a distance of two miles. No
marks whatever can be found on the tim-
bers and planks, but when the sea runs
down more may be learned.

IN The TRAP
The United Press Confessed
II Was a Thief.


NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The natives OF the
Province OF Orissa have revolted against
their ruler, Shit FL otspueht, SO reads
cabiegram to The Associated
Press from Calcutta last week, with the
exception OF the name OF the Raiah. The
Associated Press has long been aware that
that this cable news was regularly appro-
priated from the early editions of the
Associated Press papers, and was appear
ing in the papers served by the United
Press as original to that service, and be-
came necessary TO word some of the dis
patches To insure detection.
The New York Press says this morning.
The Associated Press is nothing if not
truthful. There was q method in the
fiction quoted about the name OF the
Rajsh, telegraphed by it to
all the newspapers it serves, east
or west. The management had grown
confident that the United Press, for
long time, has been in the habit of sp-
propristing dispatches put on the wire by
The Associated Press. To surely
PIONc tuc bIutn tuU buPpOsA-
tion, 1t was decided to send for
the cable-a bit of alleged news that, true
or false, could injure no interests in the
United States and be of little moment.
Not only did the unfortunate Rsjah figure
in The Associated Press newspapers on
Saturday morning, but, strange to say,
be appeared, in all of his shameless mem
dscity in the United Press papers as
we'll. Readily the bait had been taken.
The United Press had appropriated its
rivals "news". And that treacherous
rsjah, not contsnted with his mission to
point a moral and sdorn a tale, had au-
dsciously placed together the letters OF
his mystic name in such a way that read
ing backward they recite fact indisput-
abba "The U. p. stole this"

WORSE THAN SPAkROWS.
A Warning to Keep the Mongoose
Out of the Country.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.--United States
Consul Eckford at Kingston, hearing from
the American newspapers that Mr..
Vanderbilt has imported the mongoose
for his estate near Asheville, N. c.,
has sent out note of warning through q
report to the State Department and says
it will be well for our government to
profit by Jamaicas experience and pro-
hibit the importation of mongoose into
the United States. He recounts the evil
effects following the introduction of the
animal from India into Jamaica to destroy
the rats which infested the sugar and
coffee plantations. They did their work
SO well and increased so rapidly that
their natural food supply was cx-
hausted and they began TO prey
upon all small living creatures. All
OF the ground birds were wiped out, all
snakes and toads and land crabs. Newly
dropped calves, young pigs, puppies,
game, turtles, all fell victim to the mon
goose, which became much worse pest
than the sparrow in America
and the rabbit in Australia. AS q
result of the destruction OF these small
creatures all insects multiplied anca-
ingly. They have become pestilence at
some seasons, and the people of Jamaica
now want to exterminate the mongoose.

Sermon TO Young Men.

Rev. j. Mason, pastor of Ruggles Street
Church, preached a sermon last evening to
the young men from the words "Where-
with shall young man cleanse his ways,
by taking heed thereto" Ps 1879, 10.
The sermon was divided in two parts.
First, how shall young man make a clean
record +? Second, why shall he do il :?
Under the first head he said the young
man must take heed to his habits, his
manners, his company, his reading and
his pleasures. Under the second head he
said the young nisn must do this because
his future happiness, his futureuse full
ness and greatness depend on it..
He urged these truths upon the v ung
men OF his congregation, giving illustra-
tions OF what he said, in instances of OBJ
servation.
