CHAPTER TX.

The clock of Hampstead church has
just tolled twelve. Luke Abershaw is
seated in his own room. Upon the
table is a heap of papers, chiefly let
ters. which he has been peruSing.
The light Of the two candles which
alone illumine the apartment falls
upon his face.
And what a face! Such a one as
Dante might have pictured in his I'm

stony horror. unutterable despair, of

than the revelation which these letters
contained.
From the first day he commenced
his duties as secretary he had noticed
a small tin box in the library, which,
from it's dusty condition. was evident
ly seldom used. 1t was almost the
only thing in the library that was not
open to his hand; but of this Mr.. Med
licott always kept the key.
His curiosity was aroused, and by
and by he learned that it contained
family correspondence.
Thinking it might throw some light
upon many things he desired TO know,
he had a great desire to explore the
contents Of this box, but never got the
opportunity.
On the night of Mr.. Medlicott's death
he obtained possession Of the box and
emptied it of Its contents. He had
now been examining them. What had
he found there?
The first letter Of importance that
he had lighted upon was a letter from
the matron of the Marlborough work
house in answer to one from Mrs.
Medlicott, detailing Rosamond's story;
how she had been brought thither
with a brother and how the father had
been found upon a heap Of stones

A Brook I'm Town,

A few days ago a long forgotten
brook was tapped by excavators Oh
the site Of a big store in cOurse of con-
struction In the Sixth venue dry
goods district. This discovery put the
contractors to a heavy expense, for as
quick as the foundations were sunk
the shafts filled with water which had
to be pumped out, delaying the pro-
gresS of the work. Now, however. the
several thousand dollars additional eX-
penses caused by the underground wa
ter will be more than made up by the
saving in CrOton water rents. The
merchant princes have determined to
utilize the underground stream. They
will place a large steel tank below the
surface of the basement floor which
will be supplied by pipes running
along the beds of the branches of the
old and forgotten stream. which was
formerly known as Minetta brook. As
the structure will be II of the largest
in the world, the value Of the find can
easily be estimated. as water for fire
and elevator purposes is none too plen-
tiful in this sectiOn.-New York Core

6be Shadow G
BERTH, @: :; : .',,. Of a Crime.

Her confession was this:
The fact of the secretary having had
a patent fastening put on the closet
in his bedroom-which was always
kept locked-had excited her curiosity
to know what he was so careful to con
ceal.
One morning when she was making
the bed she found a key upon the floor,
which had evidently been accidentally
dropped.
1t was the key of the closet.
Burning with inquisitiveness, she
applied 1t to the lock and opened the
door.
Within was a trunk, open, and its
contents d~isarranged as though he had
been suddenly called away.
On the top of all this was a square
wooden box, which she was prepared
to swear wis the same as that found
In Miss Rosamond's room.
The eagerneSS with which DR.. Grant
listened to this story may be imagined.
Telling Dawson on no account to
mention the circumstance to any one,
he sought out Mr.. Grey and told him
the girls story.
"If this is true-and / do not see any
reason to doubt tit certainly puts
q new aspect on the case, and, |
may confess now, that it points in the
direction my suspicious have taken
from the first. At all events we must
allow the proceedings against this poor
girl to stand over for to-day.
"In the meantime 1 will see this girl
myself and hear the story from her
w lips"
The maid was forthwith SEN for,
and came into the room with eyes red
and swollen with weeping and sobbing
and trembling. Nevertheless, she re-
peated the story exactly as she had
told it to Dawson.
And why did you not mention it
the moment the box was discovered in
the young lady's room?" demanded
Mr.. Grey severely.
The girl hung her head.
Answer me directly"
please, sir, it was because I didn't
like 1t to be known that I'd been a
looking at Mr.. Abershaw's things"
she answered.

There was nc suspecting the SINGER
ity of the tone in which these words
were uttered.

I'm quite ready, sir; now that it's
out 1 don't care how many knows it,"
Very well; you can go now, but re-
member no a word to a soul about
what you have told me-"
The girl promised and left the room.
What do you think now?" inquired
the doctor.
THAT we must keep a sharp lookout
upon Mr.. Luke Abershaw," was the
reply.
DR.. Grant could not help whispering
a word Of hope and comfort to God

regretted doing so, the Soung fellow
was SO wildly eager.

THE VICTORIOUS JAPS.

THE milSado has instituted an elm
perial Order of the Kite" to be sort
of Japanese equivalent of the British
Victoria cross.
The Japanese government, instead of
presenting medals to the soldiers who
participated in the war against China,
is to give them excellent Swiss watches.
ONE consequence Of the battle of the
Yalu is the proposal made in Europe of
establishing naval Red Cross society,
whose vessels, painted in some distinct
i've color, shall accompany hostile fleets
and pick up the crews of vessels sunk
in action.
THE terror inspired by the Japanese
armies in the east is greatly enhanced
by the fact that they make no noise.
They march with no bands, no drums
beat reveille or tattoo, and in action the
Japanese utter no cheers. The officers
have code of signals by whistling that
serves to direct the movements of the
troops.

Monopoly Slavery.

ers as chattel slaves. The wealthiest
slave holder of the South never
dreamed of being able to hold $4,000
slaves in slavery. But under our
present system of debt and wage sla-
very it is not unusual. Itrequires
the labor OF one man six days at 81
per day to furnish John d. Rockefel-
Ter his income for one second.
And Rockefeller liz but one OF thous.
ands Of monopolistic masters of great
er or smaller dimensions. Is it
strange that the slaves are not salts

Men are not usually to blame for
taking advantage of circumstances or
conditions, and it is not against such
luCh Gl1dG I0lOTUl measures are UlrGCI-
ed. 1t is against the laws which make
such conditions. Good men often
make the mistake of assuming that
these demands are aimed at million
aires personally. 1t is not true. 1t
is directed against that system of
national economy which makes these
millionaires. Mr.. Rockefeller is here;
by some means he has amassed a
large fortune. Under the laws it is
his. These reform measures do not
propose either to hang him or take
away his property. But the people
don't want any more of his kind, nor
will they permit him to use this i'm

that will bring about such results.

President has fully determined to ask
Attorney General Olney to accept the
State Department portfolio. The Pres

substance that he should ask Olney

1t is regarded likely that Senator

made to fill the vacancy. Senator
Gray Of Delaware came over from
