cycle and. looked after them. The
girl was urging the horse to great
er speed, and. at that moment the
young man was looking over his
shoulder up the lane.. Instantly the
truth of the situation was borne in
upon old scudamore. The advantages
and disadvantages of the position
passed before him. 1t was useless to
go back and get another horse, for
they would be in Scotland long be-
fore he could hope to overtake them.
On the other hand his already sharp
ride had tired him, while their horse
was fresh. The road to Scotland was
anything but level. 1t was up hill and
down dale all the way, and old Scuda-
more knew that going up hill they
would out-distance him, for he would
have to get off and walk, but going
down hill at full speed and risking
everything, he would very likely over
take them. Then heremembered with
joy that the last three miles of the
race was long incline to the bridge
at the border. If he could not over.
take them before, he was sure to do so
at that stage of the race.
':By all the GODS" cried young
Sherwin at that moment, "he's after
us. Give me- the reins and the whip.
Edna, we must get over the bridge
first, if we kill the horse in doir.g so. "
The young girl, with cry OK fear,
gave the reins into her lovers hands.
In spite of all efforts of the horse they
could not once shake off old Scuda-
more, nor yet could he overtake them,
but young Sherwin realized, as did old
Scudamore, that on the long decline
to the bridge he would come up with
them, even if they kept their horse on
the gallop.
When the clipping couple reached
the top of the hill where the Border
er's Arms stand, three miles from the
bridge that leads into Scotland, the
old man was but mile behind. them
trudging up the hill IS stubbornly,
and apparently as fresh as ever.
The young man stopped the horse
at the door Of the public house.
"Good graciousl" said the girl,
"you are not going to stop herep"

soy a word. Twill explain it ell later, "
and he dashed into the public house,
where he astonished the bar.maid by
asking II she sold empty bottles,

MRS. 3ICKNS0N'S TRUTH.
Any Woman Should be Glad to

AND PROFIT BY 1T.
The Blight That Comes to So Many Wo-

Which 1t Can be Avoided.

No woman in America has given
greater attention to the ailments and
sufferings Of women than Mary Lowe
Dickinson, the popular writer and
magazine contributor. She has fire.
quently uttered words OF warning and
advice to women but with never so
impressive an effect as in a recent ad-
dress, when she said:
Without health the beautiful wo-
man ceases to be beautiful, and ed
ucation and training are of little avail
if she has to pass her life a helpless
victim Of sickness and weakness. We
do not know half the truth about this,
for three-fourths of the sufferers do
not like to tell. For every hysterical
woman who makes everybody about
her informed of her sufferings, there
are dozens who drag their own uou-
bles dumbly and bravely into their
graves. Sickness is a blight that no
woman should permit TO come over heH
if she can by any possibility cure 1t
or keep it away. How to secure health
is, indeed, one of he first problems
for this generation OF women. Give
us health is the cry from all the
world of women. Give US a system
that will spare us the morbid brood
ing of discomfort, the hysterical tan
trum, the nervous collapse, the look OF
gloom from the wells of our eyes.
Every woman must admit the truth
Of these words They are spoken
straight from the heart. There are
thousands upon thousands Of women
who feel sick at certain periods, tired
out. and who suffer from weaknesses
that doctors seem unable to relieve.
and the Saddest part of it all is that
they might be happy, joyous, flush
with health, and attractive to family
and friends if they only knew and
acted upon the secret OF happiness.
Most women are healthy and attract
i've because they preserve the organs
that make health. 1t is true compar-
atively few know how this is done
but many have aScertained it, and
have relied as upon a true friend On

who can afford 10 ignore these sugges-
tons, few who should fail to avail

DUNS REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, May 1O.-R G. Dun &

The event OF the week is the demon

by enormous sales of bonds abroad
Besides a sale of $4,000 600 Manhattan
and other railroad bonds through the
syndicate, large purchases on foreign
account have been recorded for some
weeks. so that the aggregate probably
exceeds $50,000.000 since the sales OF
governments. Safety for the summer
means much for all business. and the
syndicate deems it so fully assured
that it distributes forty per cent. of
the money advanced by the associates
which relieves large amount 10 slim

Crop prospects also have greatly i'm
proved and this is Of still higher i'm

Bessemer pig has been raised to $1,000

most noteworthy gain is in orders for

GOLD AND SILVER OUTPUT.

The News Letter says: aThe
worlds increased supply Of gold is g
matter of no ordinary interest in
view OF the discussion on the mon
etary question which has been sprung
recently and is now absorbing the at
tention OF the whole country. Aus
tralia has doubled her output within
the past three years and now heads
the List OF gold producing countries
with a total for 1894 of s41,000,0O0.
The United States is a good second
with s39,500,0O0 to our credit. South
Africa comes next with about $685.
100000. It il Estimated that all other
countries, with Russia as their leader
added s45.O0O.OOO more. The grand
total OF the worlii'a product Is there
fore somewhat over S150.0OO,O00 for
last year. This ia an increase over
1893 Of about $30,000,000. Silver
shows a considerable falling off, prin-
cipally in the United States and Aus
tralia, but still foots up o grand total
Of $4,000, 900 ounces, which at the
ratio of 16 to / would be worth about
sl9o,0OO,00O. but at itspresent market
price would hardly yield more than
s98, 100000. AS to California's pro-
portionate interest in the respective
metals, it is interesting to know that
whilst her product of gold last year
amounted to s%14,570,397, her silver
at it's coming value wa but $927,5O6.
She has therefore IA times more &C.
tual interest in gold than in silver.

NOT AN INTERNAL MACHINE.

Only . Harmless Little Ring Clicking o.
eatehei Lock
A dynamo which furnishes the cleo
trio light for one Of the passenger trains
between Chicago and Omaha on the
Milwaukee road was the cause of an
interesting episode in the sleeper the
other night, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
A stranger of rather mysterious
aspect got on at Elgin on a west-bound
train. He had n queer-looking satchel
with him, which he pushed under the
seat. When the porter came to make
up the berths he put the satchel on an
adjoining seat.
Presently he paused in the midst of
his bed-maling, and, fixing both eyes
on the satchel, stared ut it. His orbs
seemed to grow as he did so. Finally
he cautiously approached the owner
and said:
Excuse me, sab, but has you got any
kind oh clockwork in dat grip, sahP"
The stranger looked at him for a mo-
ment with evident surprise and replied
that he had not.
"Well, excuse me, sab, but dey's
clockwork round dis vicinity some
where, sab, and seems to me It bettah
be looked up. I've hearn of dem things
goln' off,"
By this time two or three other pas
sengers and tho conductor had come
up, and became interested in the situa-
tion., The ticking was distinctly audi
BILE and seemed to come from the sin
wards" of the grip. The stranger
seemed to be as much interested rs
anybody, and remarked that his wife
might have put in the bedroom clock
instead of his collar box. He opened
the satchel, but investigation into NIL
its recesses failed to solve the mystery.
AS he closed it up the ticking began
again, and everybody was more pug
zled than ever until the conductor no.
ticed that the little ring which is at
tached to all satchel locks to assist in
opening was swinging to and fro with
the vibrations caused by the dynamo
and SO produced the regular "tick-tickn
which had alarmed the porter. Then
everybody laughed, and the porter went
on with his work.
