CHAPTER XIV.

The most welcome of the few per-
sons who visited at the house OF Mrs.
Carruthers was Rachels. Yet he sell
dom went there except when Owen was
down with his rheumatic spells, that
had become more frequent lately be-
cause he had been in possession Of more
pocket money than was usual, and so
was in condition TO resort to drinking
places other than the Big Indian"
Suspecting where such supplies came
from, Rachcls ruminated upon them.
His untiring kindness To the hayward
cripple, not counting those of other
kinds, had given rise To much gratitude
in the mother. Her chief income was
from n two-thousand-dollar state bond
bearing eight per cent. interest. Her
black woman, Sally, besides home
work, did washing and other outside
jobs, for which the ncighbors paid
more than liberal prices. Then she
raised more vegetables and got from
the cow more milk than the family
needed, and the surplus was easily dis
posed of, The cottage was on the
street south OF the Capitol square. 1t
had n ground floor, on which were
the kitchen and Sally's bedchambcr.
Above this were two rooms, small
parlor and another serving for both
eating and sleeping. To these one as
cended by steps leading from and
along the street, fronting on narrow
portico, on which mother and son
sometimes sat of summer evenings.
From a corner Of the rear room n flight
of winding stairs led up To the attic
where Owen slept The place was
kept scrupulously neat, even the back
yard and the garden, wherein, besides
vegetables, were fruit-trees and grape
vines. Last of the few slaves once be-
longing there, Sally was devoted To her
mistress and always ready To apologize
for Owens shortcomings Whenever
he was late returning home ut night,
she persuaded his mother To bed,
and, comfortably nodding the while,
awaited him. On his return, she let
him in softly, had something hot in the
kitchen ready IL he desired II, cautioned
him against disturbing the sleeper,
and, after he had been disposed of,
went To bed and slept like n baby
Awakened at cock-crowing, she rose
with alacrity, made her fire, and had
breakfast ready the minute IL was
wanted.
When Owens rheumatism was upon
him a couch in his pother's chamber
was laid, which he accepted with more
or less complaining during his contine-
ment Between mother and son had
grown at last an understanding that
prevented domestic strife. The latter's
irregularities were never commented
upon there, except between Mrs. Car
ruthers and Sally, whose excuses and
palliations were, under Heaven, the
best consolation 70 the mother.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. l3-A letter from
Major Gordon w. Lille, otherwise

tcrcsting account of the imprisonment of
an Illinois man in that place on the grave
charge of murder and robbery. The
story as told by Major Lille is to the
effect that an old lady, living near that
place, was murdered and robbed of a large
sum of money. Her servants who saw
the murdcrers said that the men We're

Successful Launching OF the Magnificent
Steamship st. Louis.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-Shortly after
O'Clock the magnificent steamship St.
Louis of the American line was success
fully launched at Cramps shipyaris. The
affair was witnessed by fully so o9opeople.
Mrs Cleveland, wife of the president,
broke the traditional bottle of champagne
on the bow of the noble ship as it glided
down the way, at the same time uttering
these words: Il christen thee St. Louis
In this instance and for the first time
since the ceremony was observed at
Cramps shipyard, the champagne was of
American manufacture. All preparz-
rations for the launch had been carefully
made and, although the ship is 40 feet
longer than any that has ever been
launched at the yard, the difficult featnre
Of getting u vessel from the ways into the
water was accomplished without hitch.
After the launch the invited guests to the
number of 400 Were entertained at lunch
in the office of the shipbuilders.
Charles b. Cramp in his speech of well
come to President Cleveland said that
with two exceptions the st. Louis is the
largest and most powerful ship in the
world. He referred to the progress of
ship building under Clevclands admins
tration and credited to his policy the fact
that such wonderful results have been &C.
ccmplished in America The st. Louis,
he said, is built on American plans by
American workmen and of American ma
tcrial. Twenty-six ships were recon-
mendcd by Mr.. Cleveland and authorized
by congress. Concluding, he said that
while there may be honest differences on
other questions, national approval of Mr..
Cleveland's vigorous and patriotic naval
policy will always be unanimous
