She he wled and moaned all afternoon
and during the night when he woke
he could hear her sobbing softly on
her pillow. Mr.. de Guerville says
she was thinking of her dead master,
the Chinamsn who lay out on the hills
by Port Arthur, over whom she had
watched 80 faithfully.
Mr.. de Guerville, who had Travelled
for number of years in the East, has
fitted up one of his apartments in the
Chinese fashion, and among the red
and yellow screens, hangings, vases
and idols Chinchi felt at home. On
her journey, however, she had con-
tracted cold, which developed into
serious attack of the grip. Her mas
ter, who is a bachelor, felt that she
needed woman's care and sent her-to
the house of friend in West Seventy
second street, where she recovered.
Chinchi is ten inches long and short
legged. She has long ears, tail like
squirrel, face like fox terrier
with hint of the snubbiness of q
spaniel and her soft hair is white and
brown in beautiful markings. Her
eyes are large and tender, and re-
markably intelligent. Indeed, she is
an extraordinary dog, and would be
noteworthy anywhere, even had she
not proved herself a heroine-a loyal
little friend, faithful unto death. sho
is about two years and a half old. As
far as known, she is the only dog Of
her kind in this country. Even in
China the breed is only seen in the
houses of mandarins, and they are
very valuable dogs of long pedigree.

Mr.. Ford expected to dispose OF the
cottage to syndicate that would pre-.
serve and treasure it as relic, but he.
was disappointed, and at length
placed it in the market. 1t lay va
cant for months. Hundreds called
for the key at Mr.. Ross's Office and,
after going through the cottage once
occupied by the author OF "ihe
Raven" went away with everything
portable as souvenirs, aud always with
the key. Mr.. Hafen's new map OF the
Annexed District, which calls for the
widening of Kingsbridge road, takes
away three-quarters of the house, and
DR.. Chauvet will move it back to the

CHAPTER XIV.

aTHRH MARRIAGE SHALL SAVE HER, BUT ]
SHALL BE THE BRIDEGROOM
aYou have come at last" exclaimed
Lord Inchcape, with Frightening eye, sc
Edgar Arden fastened into his presence,
Immediately upon his arrival from the
north. sMy dear boy, never were you
more needed at the Fosse: would have
summoned you nome nao any mixing
of your whereabouts.
Edgar thought his kinsmon more worn
and melancholy looking than before;
and regarded him with such new percep-
tions of his secret wretchedness that he
read in every line OF his gloomy face
revelation of the past.
He had Travelled straight from Scot
land, and chanced to have arrived on
the morning OF the'hunt; he was aston
ished when the servants announced to
him that he would find his lordship at
home, for hunting was Inchcape's one
pleasure, and he was seldom absent from
the meet
"And why am I particularly welcome
to day, my lord?" asked the young heir,
seating himself in the chair before Lord
Inchcape's, as he was desired.
With suppressed bitterness, lnchcape
told him that a powerful candidate had
appeared to contest the borough with
him.
"He has bought castle and o wide
domain" said Inchcape; "he has nu-
merous tenantry, and can command great
interests in Stafford Archerfield is his
kinsman and supporter, and his friends
will be legion, no doubt He has been
indefatigable in concilating the people,
and be is far more popular to-day, stranS
ger though he be, than you are. But
then, my boy has not learned the art OF
beguling men through their weaknesses,
which is the favor.te policy OF Richard
Accrington.
at is Richard Accrlngton!" cried
Edgar, springing to his feet-"here, at
the very door! Glorious news!"
His eyes were sparkling with Joy; the
miscreant, tor whom he had expected to
search to the ends Of the earth, was
here, within his grasp.
"What do you know OF that MANI"
demanded Lord Inchcape, amazedly.
Il know that he is your evil genius,
my lord-that he has been the curse OF
lnchcape. Dear kinsman," said Edgar,
respectfully, II would never have pre-
sumed to peer into your past Affections
had not accident throwp me strangely

Native Christians to Be Employed Tor the
First Time in That Capacity.
The American Board Of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions has received from Hiroshi-
ma, the military headquarters OF Japan, a
statement which shows that for the first time
in history pagan Nation has authorized the
employment OF native Christians of the evan
gelical type as army chaplains. Ten mis-
sionaries and sixteen Japanese workers have
been designated for the special work for
soldiers at Hiroshima. The local committee
has obtained permission to send a number OF
Japanese evangelists to the front as Chris
tian workers for the army. This service
may be sustained as long as the war con-
tinues. 1t is the first permission of the kind
obtained by Japanese Christians and marks
an epoch in the progress OF Christians in
Japan.

sLAUcHTERIMc HORSES FOR EUROPE.

Three Indiana Plants Utilizing the Former
Street-Car Motive Power.
Three slaughter-houses for the killing OF
horses are in operation in Indiana. A lot OF
200 horses sold at the Chicago Stock Yards
recently were driven to the abattoirs, which
are not operated in defiance of the law, be-
cause none Of the meat is sold in this coun-

other countries of Europe, where there is

The horses that are sold one day are
killed the next and cut up, picked and
packed in tubs ready to ship to Europe.
They also manufacture sausage from the
meat. The hides and the parts of'the horse

Uncle Allen Advises.

"I notice, my dear. said Uncle Allen Sparks to one of his nieces, ''that when you have toothache it's the worst you ever had. The young man who was here last night was the ugliest fellow you ever saw According to your statement little while ago it took you forever and day to learn how to make 8 sponge cake. The house. you say, is full of flies. You have just declared that the room is as hot as an oven, you have the dreadful. est headache you ever had in your life, and the boy across the road is making the fearfulest racket boy ever made. Don't you see, my child, this sort of thing won't do? Some time in your life you will really have an experience requiring the superlative degree to de- scribe it and you won't be able to con- vey any idea of it. You will have used up all your adjectives That is all. You can go to humping the piano again. ."-Chicago Tribune.

Spanish Forces of $500 Ambushed and
 Routed by Gen. Maceo.
 KEY WEST, Flas Oct. 26. News re- ceived here states that Gen. Maceo has, by forced marches, reached the prov vince of Matanzas. and that last Mon- day, with 5000 Cubans, he engaged a cavalry force of 2,sOO Spaniards in the San Juan valley. Early in the morning the insurgent outpost brought news of the approach of the Spanish cavalry. Gen. Maceo at once placed his army in position to receive the enemy. A hollow square was formed and force of 1000 men placed in ambush. The Spanish forces, un. aware of the presence of the enemy, marched into the trap of death and were only appraised of their perilous position when the insurgents opened fire upon them. The Spaniards made a brave fight, but owing to the thickness of the forest and the boggy condition of the valley, the cavalry were greatly handicapped. After struggle of four hours the Spanish troops were forced to retreat, leaving 800 men dead on the field. The insurgents secured all the arms and ammunition of the dead Spaniards. This battle is the most inn portant fight since the breaking out of the revolution. The Cuban colony here is wild with joy.

They are convinced that both men are anxious and willing to fight. They base their opinion on the fact that Fitzsimmons had at last consented to come here to settle the issue under the auspices of the Hot Springs organization. The news of Fitzsimmons' intentions come through the medium of telegrams to Mayor Waters and President Babcock, of the Hot Springs Athletic associa- tion

NEW CHAMPION FOUND,

 Horse from Spirit Lake, Ia.


 BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 26.-Fred Gill bert, dark horse in the race, who halls from Spirit Lake, Ia-, won the Dupont cup, the wing championship of the world. and fat purse in the pigeon shooting tournament which came to an end here yesterday after. noon. 1t is said Gilbert never entered a tournament before in his life, but he shot like veteran, thus repeating the performance of John G. Messner, of Pittsburgh, who won the grand Amer. ican handicap in 1885, although it was his first tournament. Nc. Alester, the well known wing shot, was Gilbert's most dangerous competi. tor, as no others than these two killed twenty-five straight birds. Capt. Jack Brewer, the veteran New Yorker, came very near it though, as he did not fall down until the last bird of the twenty. five. Then he lost his temper and missed his second bird in the shoot-off for third and fourth money, and got nothing.

He shows That Uncle Sam's Army Ia well
 Disciplined and It's Officers Competent.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.-The annual report of Inspector-General Brecken- ridge, of the army, shows that the army has attained high standard of discipline and that the officers gener- ally are competent. There has been a very marked improvement in the char. acter of men seeking admission to the ranks, and the great care with which recruits are selected, it is said, is evil denced by the fact that only about one in eight is found to possess the requi- site qualifications. During the past year there was m unusual pressure for admission to the National Home for Volunteer Soldiers and the several branches of the home were crowded to their utmost capacity. The average increase of the population in all it's branches for the past five years has been 775 per annum. Notwithstanding the increase in the number of inmates the disbursements have steadily de. creased from S2,505. 503 for 1893 to $o,- O97,Ol for 1895. At the close of the year there were l0i schools and col leges at which military instruction was given by officers of the army to l9,456 pupils, an increase of nearly 5000 over the number of pupils at the close of the previous year.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Adjustment of Prices to Real Conditions
 Rapidly Going On.

Adjustment of Prices to Real Conditions
 Rapidly Going On.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-R G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade, says: Ten days ago gold exports seemed very near, but the break in cotton, which then began, ripened on Monday into a collapse sufficient to justify hope of free movement Hides have also decreased sharply, leath- CT is weaker and the adjustment of prices to real instead of imaginary con- ditions progresses rapidly. Already lower prices in iron have brought out some important contracts. Money markets cause remarkably little trouble. Cooler weather has gen. erally helped retail trade, and with increased consumption by the millions the way will be clearer for better business. AL ready payments through clearing houses closely approach for October those of the best year in history, though retlecting in part past transactions. and new orders are still much needed by the great industries.
 Wheat has risen 8 cents for the week, although western receipts-7,- 977,066 bushels for the week, against 5,059, 7S7 last year-continue unusually large and Atlantic ports Gncluding four) 1,l76,ll7 bushels for the week against 1856, 934 last year, and four weeks 5,734,572, against 9,105, ,046 bushels last year, showing plainly a slack demand from abroad. Nobody can give a reason for higher corn, and pork declines 25 cents, lard sixteenth and hogs 10 cents per hundred weight.
 Bessemer pig advanced, but finished products on the whole declined as much, other pig iron not rising. Rails to October 1, 57O,0 ,0OO tons delivered and EOS tons sold. made a pitiful record.
 Whether tin plate works will take 300, GOO, 900 pounds of steel this year, as the latest official report indicates, will depend on prices, and sales of coke be- low the latest esta blished price are no- ticed, with the largest production on record.
 | Textile manufacturers have for the moment disturbed rather than helped the decline in cotton, because it checks buying of some fabrics with lower prices for print cloths and prospects of lower prices for other goods. The de- mand for worsteds and dress goods is encouraging, while in woolen goods the situation does not improve. Re- newed orders are moderate, and mems goods are easy to buy at previous quo- tations Failures this week are 23l in the United States against 23l last year, and 3s in Canada against 5s last year.

OAK FORESTS OF AMERICA.

Rapid Disappearance ofthe Woods That
 Were Once the Nations Pride.
 The magnificent oak forests north of the Ohio river, in the central part of the northern states, have largely disappeared. Within the last five years there has been an increasing de- mand for oak in spite of business de- pression, more especially for such tim Der as goes into house finishing, in- cluding plain and quarter.sawed red oak and white oak. The duration of the Wisconsin red oak supply is now pretty plainly indicated, and in the meantime remnants of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and southern Illinois oak will have disappeared, except in small farm holdings, and the great bulk of the supply will thereafter come from south of the Ohio. Of course there is oak in all the southern states, but the alluvial bottom lands must furnish the great bulk of the timber, and as Ken- tncky and Tennessee and West Vir- ginia are partly denuded, the main supply will soon be derived from the lower Mississippi and its tributaries. If the finest area of oak timber in the world, namely, that north of the Ohio river, has been stripped while the country's population and industries were comparatively small, how long will the remaining supply last when the needs are measured by our future population and industrial development? Walnut is gone; cherry, birch and maple will not last many years, and therefore the demand for oak will be much greater and will rapidly increase. It must be remembered, too, that oak lands are good for agriculture after the timber is cut, and for this reason the denudation will go on with greater rapidity than on the lands less valua- ble for tillage. When the tide of emi- grafton sets strongly toward the allu- vial areas of the lower Mississippi and it's tributaries the hardwood forests will melt rapidly away before the att tacks of the farmer. 1t is for this req son that large holdings of southern oak and other hardwoods are now being secured in the south. After Q few years opportunities for such in- vestments on n large scale will be gone forever. and Forest.
