Fred Kunkel opened his new saloon
in the Orr building, Monday There
was a general calling of customers
throughout the day. Free beer is not
an every day occurrence and must be
attended to, when such occasions pre-
sent themselves. Frank Newton will
not take out license. The council
will take no installment money, but
want the entire amount for the wear,
cash down, or closed doors.

vous," the old man said through his
teeth. Fauntleroy sprang to the girls
side, caught her hand in his and cried
out:
Major Overton, you-no man shall
breathe one hurtful word of her. Here
to your teeth l beg her to come away
with me as my wife-chosen, honored
above all the world"
Dare shivered through and through.
A red tide swept up over brow and
cheek, then faded, leaving her white,
with eyes of fire. She was so young, bare
ly turned II, all this seemed so wonder
full, so terrible, it put her happy, careless
girl life years and years behind her. She
drew her hand gently from Fauntleroy's
clasp and said, staring straight before
her at her grandfather who stood a
shaking embodiment Of speechless fury:
81 cannot go, Mr.. Fauntleroy. I am
an Overton. l cannot turn against my
own, no matter how may be wronged ;"
Forgive me- Dare, forgive mel You
are your fathers child, thank God! For
give my doubt Of you, the old man al
most sobbed, drawing the girls hand
through his arm as though to lead her
away. She half turned from him, but
not in anger, and said to her young
lover:
"Goodby. Goaway, please, and forget
that you ever came. :"
81 60, since | must, but will never
give you up so long as we both do live, I"
Allen Fauntleroy said. Even as he spoke
she vanished Hawkins caught his arm
and drew him away to the vehicle wait
ing outside the door, AS they took their
seats in it Major Overton stepped over
the threshold, gave them a courteous
adieu, then laid his hand lightly in de-
tention upon the reins and said slowly:
Mr.. Fauntleroy, give you safe con-
duct from my home, If ever you set foot
on it again, your life will pay for it :"

CHAPTER TX

Until they were past the ford that
marked Ridgeley's boundary line, Allen
Fauntleroy sat silent, leaning in his
corner of the carriage. Hawkins spoke
once or twice, but getting no answer re-
lapsed likewise into silence.
When they had splashed through the
swift stream, still flush and palely tur-
bid, Fauntleroy said, drawing a long
breath:
II could not hear it upon his ground,
but now in heavens name tell me what
all this means. F"
Seems to me q matter of names,
Fauntleroy versus Overflow Overton
versus Fauntleroy, Hawkins said, fold
ing his arms and sticking his chin in
the air.
The other looked at him impatiently
and said very low:
Don't fence, Hawkins The time for
that is past. Tell me now, on your hon
or, the whole cause of grievance that old
man cherishes.
why didn't you ask him? You had
time enough. But / reckon you were
so struck with the girl you forgot every
thing else. Pom my life, Fauntleroy,

CHAPTER VIII.

BY midnight the storm had sobbed out
its wrath. Morning broke fair over the
radiant, new washed world. The rays Of
dawn were struggling through the win
dow panes ere Allen Fauntleroy dropped
asleep When at last his eyes opened,
tho sun was high in heaven. His host
stood at his bedside, grayer, harder,
sterner looking in the light of the gold
en- day than in that of rainy skies Yet
still his voice was well bred monotone,
bare Of all feeling

leroy said in an effort to speak lightly.
He was far from feelings so. All his sleep
had been phantasmagoria of trouble
Of thick clouds, of swelling waters, with
Dare in the midst of them, swept for
ever away in their food. The night
through he had not hidden from himself

counter she had taken captive his heart
and his fancy. He must not, he could
not would not go away without further
sight and speech of her. He would not

came that she needed help, to remember
that she had in him faithful friend

with rosy flush:

jointedly, holding fast to Dare's hand

choke back the words of love, yet to
speak them would be madness. She
would leave him in alright. Yet he

for our side! She's the majors sole heir,
and with her thus well in hand the syn

For answer Fauntleroy called to the

whats wrong?" asked Hawkins i'm
patiently as the man clambered down
from his seat.
Nothing" said Fauntleroy, "only l
refuse to ride with man who gives me
insult in place Of information.
"You are q touchy one" the lawyer
retorted, banging to the door, "Go on,
Dick. I'll give this young man what he
wants.
Every well, but be a little careful
how you do it, " his client retorted, sink
ing back upon his cushions SO as to look
the other full in the face. Hawkins
shifted trife under the scrutiny, but
said:
"You are an odd fish, Allen-nearly
as odd as the old one back there, =" nod
ding behind them "You nowI warn
ed you against going there-as yourself,
that is. If the old man hadn't known
whoyou were, I'm persuaded you would
easily have got into his good graces,
enough so maybe to induce him to listen
to reason. You see, you are to him not
merely the heir and agent of the Faunt-
leroys. There's heap more that you,
that almost nobody knows. "
"Why was / not told?" the young
man asked sternly. The other laughed
disagreeably, saying:
"Well, now, it's a bit awkward to say
to a fellow in plain English, Your fa-
ther was thorough paced scoundrel.
But that's the frozen fact of the case. "
Chow did he prove it?' The tone was
even, but Hawkins saw that the others
eyes had begun to blaze. He drew a lit
tie more away before he said:
"It's long story. Did you never hear
how he died?"
HE was drowned before he was 80,

is what l have been told and believe" p"

''Not by long shot She went mad

A GO00 SIGN.

Railroad activity is touchstone OF
business. Here is pointer: The or
dinary wear of cars requires replace
ment of nearly or quite 100000 per
year. The last two years, however,
this has fallen off one-half and two
thirds respectively, as to freight
vehicles alone, and as to passenger cars
to next to nothing. The present year,
less than FIVE months old, sees as many
orders placed for cars as were given in
1894. The cost will be over $10,000,0 900
the number over 10000. In business
earnings the same results are shown
Seventeen roads alone in the second
week of May exhibit an increase al
great as eighty roads did during the
FIRST week. It may therefore be as
sumed that the earnings will be nearly
q million dollars, as against four hun
dred and forty thousand. One-third O
that increase comes from the great con
tinental and western lines. The balance
is scattered over the land.
