CHAPTER A-CONTINUED.

and avoid the grand staircase" said.
"Then l will get you to your room"
She made no answer.
Lady Latimer," said, 'you have
still yourself to save. You must make
an effort. Can you hear meP Can
you see me? You must make one eff
fort more, and save yourself. Re-
member those lines
Don't tell mo of tomorrow
There is much to do day,
That can never be ace omplish'd
If we throw the hours away
Every momeat has is duty,

Then why defer to morrow

Quickly as loving, trembling hands
could work, took from her the black
dress, the cloak and bonnet in which
she was going to travel. put them
out of sight, and then brought back
the blue velvet and pearls. She cried
out at the sight of it, and waved it
from her.

"You must" said You must
put it on. You must color your face
and brighten your hair. You must
come down stairs and show yourself
in tho ball room. Remember that you
have yourself to save"
IL can not" she cried in de-
spairing tones.
"You must" l repeated. You
must do it to save yourself, even
should you die directly afterward."
My strong will beat down her
weaker one. / dressed her. l tried
my best to make her look as she had
done before. but it was as though l
had tried to dress dead woman.
Then fetched some brandy for her,
and made her drink il.
A faint tinge of color came TO her
lips. She looked at me once with
wild eyes.
II hate you!" sho said; and the
words were like hiss.
"Never mind" answered, "if you
can only save yourself"
l found her large bouquet OF fresh
flowers, ard told her to hold it before
her face when she passed through the
ballroom, 50 as to hide her colorless
face. She did so; but when the time
came for her to return TO the ball
room she could not walk.
"You must absolutely 60" said.

clutched my arm. / felt how she
trembled. 1 feared, if anyone spoke
TO her, that she would suddenly

CHAPTER XL.

We walked slowly through the ball
room twice. led her, as though she
were blind and dumb, through the
conservatory and the picture-gallery;
l was determined that every visitor
should see her. II by any mischance
it was rumored that sho was seen in
the park after o'clock at night, a
hundred voices would DO raised in
contradiction, for a hundred people
and more saw her in her own house.
II was ghostly walk. More than
once ] thought she would fall from my
arm dead, but at last l placed her
safely in her own room again, and
rang for her maid.
"Lady Latimer is tired out" / said
''she is completely exhausted. Get
something for her and let her go to
rest"
The maid looked frightened at the
white, set face.
"You look very i'll, my lady" she
said; but the woful eyes that looked
into hers had no expression in them.

all whom it concerned l made apollo
gies and excuses for Lady Latimer.

out, and that had persuaded her to
rest. No one seemed surprised, and
then / felt that the crisis was over.
She was saved.
"You look tired yourself, Miss
Lowell" said Captain Fleming. "And
what bad news this is about Colonel
North"
What is ftp" ] asked. trying TO
speak carelessly, but with great
alarm.
''He has 10 leave suddenly and
early tomorrow morning. He received
a telegram this afternoon, but did not
wish to tell us the news until the ball
was over. We shall miss him very
much"
1--WE shall. indeed" ] answered,
mechanically.
"He is in the smoking-room; he has

An American hostess who wished
to make the best impression on an
English lord instructed her old negro
butler to address their guest without

the butler. had never heard OF any
lord save his Creator, and the lady's
feelings can better be imagined than
described when she heard Uncle Josh
say, "My God! Have biscuit?"

EGGs WANTED.-Just now, while the
price of eggs is high compared to last
summer, and steadily rising, the food
should be diversified. Corn alone will
cause masses of fat to form on the in
ternal organs and the egg supply will
be stopped. Corn fed, or too fat hens
can be detected by their slow, sleepy
and sluggish movements. If eggs are
desired, stop the corn, except in small
quantity at night. Feed grain, and
give daily ration of meat in some
shape-raw is best, and green cut
bone is still better.-Farm, Stock and

WhItewashing.

While whitcwash made from shell
lime may be good enough for inside use,
1t never proves satisfactory on the out
side of buildings, says Mail and Ex-
press. 1t soon washes off, leaving the
boards exposed TO the action of sun and
rain, and does but little good. As stone
lime (made from lime stone) can be
procured almost anywhere, and cheaply,
too, ii should be used in preference to
shell lime. Get that which is fine, well
burned and free from shales, and never
use that which is air slaked. Put
your lime into n tub and pour on
enough hot water to barely cover it.,
and leave it until it has broken to
pieces, after which slowly add water
enough to make it like very thick
cream. Take out enough of this lime
into your bucket to make what you
wish to use, and tone it down with
water to the proper consistency, add.
ing a double handful of common
salt to each pail of whitewash, which
prevents it from peeling off, caus-
ing it to cling well during the rain,
which adds to its brightness. Do not
put the whitewash on when too thick,
as this is one of the great causes of its
peeling off. For inside work, where
the wall is plastered or has a
smooth finish, and when you wish
to have an extra nice and attrac-
tive job, for each pail of whitewash
use large teaspoonful of Venetian red,
powdered finely and well mixed with
the whitewash. This coloring is very
cheap and will give the work a neat
rose tint. You can use more or less OF
the color as you wish, remembering,
however, that it dries much lighter
than when at first put on. AS carbolic
acid, when mixed with lime, loses
much of its virtue, it will hardly pay
TO use it to act as preventive against
lice, mites, etc. Cleanliness and a
frequent use of whitewash will do the
work effectually, for neither is
t-elished by the insect pests.

Southern Pacific Has TIC Stand It's Taxes and
Penalties Besides.

San Francisco, Jan. THE supreme
court has filed it's decision in the six
cases involving the Central Pacific rail-
way taxes for 1887 and the decision was
against the railroad companies. SUI
perior Judge Hubbard's declaration
that the railroad assessments for 1887
were valid was sustained. The su-
preme court found that the interest on
unpaid taxes was not imposed by the
statutes and the amount decided by
Judge Hubbard was disallowed. The
penalty of five per cent is included in
the sum which the railroad company
must pay. The decision settles the
points which the railroad Companies
have been raising for years to avoid
paying these taxes. Justice McFar-
land rendered a dissenting opinion.
The companies will have to pay the
amount of the taxes which will be $647,-
500 with five per cent penalty and at
torneys' fees about $4S, 900.
The decision declares. among other
interesting points, that it is lawful to
assess a railroad its value without de-
Quoting the amount of mortgages as
is done in other property. The su-

the Better Right of Older Men.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. THE historic
order of Judge Caldwell concerning the
discharge of employees who testified in
the wage investigation is to be given
another trial. When Judge Caldwell
made the order which has become the
hope Of railroad employees he declared
that the humblest employe would have
his right to carry a grievance clear TO
him, and he would see the he got fair
deal. Two former employees Of the
Union Pacific, now out of jobs be-
cause of retrenchment, are preparing
to do exactly that thing. Local Freight
Agent Burroughs Of the Union Pacific
received order from headquarter in the
latter part OF December to reduce the
force in the local freight house and he
did so. There were about fifteen men
who walked the plank. II was said
today that there were two of the men
who proposed to bring the matter be-
fore General Manager Dickinson and
see II the older men should not have
the preference. IL being alleged that
some Of the younger" men had been

cific is ready to raise the rates. 1t occurs
70 me that the proposition made TO the
Union Pacific to arbitrate the boycott was
one.sided, Impractical suggestion, and
he Union Pacific cannot in justice to itself
go into arbitration. The committees re-
port which was signed jointly by the lines
Union Pacific itself, shows clearly the de-
termination OF the other lines to ring in
upon the Union Pacific the opening OF its
intermediate gateways on one-way bus
mess, because, while the report says that
the other lines only want to do one-way
business to Portland, this only covers the
whole question of Intermediate gateways,
as one depends upon the other and every
man conversant with the situation knows
that 1t covers all business north and
northwest of Ogden, on which the Union
Pacific would allow the other lines and
their connections to compete with it for
the haul upon this business from the Mis-
souri, river TO Ogden, which is a much
longer haul for the Union Pacific than
the haul beyond Ogden"
Mr.. Lomax asserts that while willing to
join in the proposed increase of rates to
proper tariffs. he cannot Join an associa-
ton for their maintenance unless the
question of iterchanging excursion bust
ness at Denver and Ogden be first set
tied, and that question he cannot settle
on the basis of his interchanging one-way
tickets at Denver and Ogden to or from
territory beyond even to Portland alone,
nor is he willing to leave the question to
for settlement.

Report Current Thot He Has Controlling

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. IA special
to the Journal from Springfield, Mo-,
says: Quite a stir was occasioned in
railroad corcles here today over the
rumor that Colonel John O'Day Of this
city has come into possession of a con-
trolling interest in the St. Louis and
San Francisco railroad, now in the
hands Of receivers. The rumor, which
is said to be we'll founded, is to the eff
feet that O'Day, through eastern con-
nections, has ecured money to buy
enough stock to control the manage
ment of the entire Frisco portion of the
Santa Fe system. 1t is also stated that
ODay has already rendered d. H
Nichols his old position as general
superintendent and that the offer has
been accepted.
Colonel O'Day was seen this evening
but would neither deny nor affirm the
rumors. He is millionaire and was
formerly vice president and general
counsel for the Frisco under the Selig-

Attorney General of Nebraska to Investi
gate the Barrett Scott Mystery.


gate the Barrett Scott Mystery.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.-Attorney Gen.
eral Churchill and Governor Holcomb
held two consultatio today regarding
the Barrett Scott mysetry. At the first
interview it was decided that the at
torney general should start for O'Neill
this afternoon in order to be on the
ground and take personal charge of the
investigation now being made in the
famous case. Later it was agreed that
Mr.. Churchill should wait until tomor-
row. If no developments are noted
within that time the states lawyer will
stair for Holt county. where he will
undertake the preliminary examina-
ton Of the men now held for conspiracy
in the Scott case.
The search today at O'Neill resulted
in the discovery that the old well sup
posed to contain Scott'S body was
empty. Those who think that the we'll
was Scott's tomb declare that last night
the lynchers removed the body. They
anticipated this and urged the sheriff
to put a guard there. but he did not
think it was necessary. The latest
move Of the defendants in deciding to
waive the examination is not relished
by the prosecution as it is feared that
before the case can be brought to trial
in the district court some of the evidence
that is now at hand may disappear.
