CHAPTER VII.

John Hanbury began retracing his
steps. When he reached Chetwynd street
he looked up and down it anxiously. He
stood at the corner and drew himself up
to his full height, with his chin well in.
his head back, and a contemptuous look
on his face. ~
Of people. "Could you tell me where I
should be likely to see low-sized gentle
man who carries a heavy stick? think
he belongs to this neighborhood," said
Hamburg to a man in a shabby jacket.
"You mean little Mr.. Leigh?" said the
man. II guess he's in there" and he
pointed to the public house.
Hamburg looked in, and seeing Leigh,
entered. The dwarf was there alone. All
the idle people had been drawn OF in the
wake Of the negro's litter. Even Will
liams, the landlord, had been induced by
curiosity to make one Of the crowd.
Hail." said Leigh, when he saw Han
bury come in and shut the door. "You
thought better Of waiting for that cab.
I am glad you came back. I hope you
are again quite we'll? Eh?" His words
and accent were polite-too polite, the
young man thought. There was a scorn.
full glitter in the hunchback's eyes. A
huge volume lay on the polished metal
counter beside him. When Hamburg
saw the volume his face flushed wildly.
The book was the city directory.
Il am quite we'll again, thank you. l
came back on purpose to see you"
"Greatly honored, I'm sure" said the
other man, with quick glitter in the
bright deep-sunken eyes. "May ask if
you are Mr.. John Hanbury?"
"That is my NAME"
"Hah! l thought so. had the honor
of hearing you speak"
Hanbury looked round as though in
fear of hearing his own name, and inter
posed: "Please do not. You will add to
the great favor you have already done me
if you say nothing Of that kind I am
most anxious to have little conversation
private conversation with you. In the
first place, [ have to thank you most sin
cerely for your great services to me a
while ago. Believe me, I am very CRATE
full, and shall always hold myself your
debtor"
"You are too kind. It is pleasure to
do little service for a gentleman like
Mr.. Hamburg, the great orator. If only
Chetwynd street knew it had so distin-
guished a visitor it would be very proud.
However, you may rest assured the public
shall not be allowed to remain in ignor-
ance Of the distinction conferred upon
our district. was just preparing little
paragraph for the papers," The dwarf
smiled ambiguously.
Hamburg started and colored and NOV
ed his feet impatiently, uneasily. "Mr.
Leigh he said, 'you have done me a
favor already, a great favor, great SER
vice. They say one is always disposed to
help one he has helped before. Do me an
other service, and you will double, you
will quadruple, my gratitude. Say moth
ing to any one of seeing me here; above
all, let nothing get into the papers about
it,"
'Hah," said Leigh, throwing himself
back on his chair. II see! understand.
A woman in the case"

NO HELP TO THE MORTGAGED.
Free Silver a Hardship and Not q Relief
to Most of Them.

Free Silver Hardship and NOT heHef
to Most of Them.
People owning their homes and having
mortgages upon them should not be mis-
led into thinking that a free silver vic
tory in November would be of assistance
to them in meeting their mortgages.
A little examination will show that on
the average it would bring hardship in
stead of relief. This would be true,
leaving out of consideration all circum-
stances affecting wages and incomes,
and combining the argument simply to a
bare discussion of the mortgage itself.
The great majority of mortgages, es-
pecially the smaller ones on dwelling
houses, are written for three or five
years, and of this class the greater num-
Der for the lesser period, while many run
for Il wear or two. During the last few
years a great many of these mortgages
have contained Il gold clause. 1t is OBJ
vious that no one having such mort
gage on his house would be helped in
the slightest by free silver. 1t is equal
ly plain that on the contrary, were gold
at premium it would be harder than
ever to make payment.
1t might also be remembered that
there are always, especially during hard
times. large number of mortgages,
especially on small houses, that are over
due. and are being carried along by the
mortgagee.
Bearing these facts in mind it seems
safe to assume that the average life of
mortgages on this class of property in
this city and it's suburbs does not ex-
coed one year.
For free silver to be of advantage to
the mortgagor, money must be more
plentiful and more easily obtained with
in that time than it is today. Is there
any reason to believe it would be?
Even without special session of Con-
free silver law, such law could not
reasonably be looked for within that peri
cd, much less an imitation of the cur
rency, so as to give relief to debtors
In the mainline, what would be the sit
uation?
The crisis in financial affairs would fol-
low Immediately upon the success of free
silver at the polls. Following the with
drawal of gold there would be sharp
contraction of the money in circulation,
and instead of more money with which
to meet indebtedness there would be less
Owing to the unsettled condition of af-
fairs, lenders would be more unwilling
than ever to loan, and. as an inevitable
result. payments would have to be de-
faulted.
There is still another point In tho
very great majority ;of cases mortgagors
Go not willingly foreclose. They want
their money and interest, rather than
the property This is especially true of
the savings and cooperative banks. AS

Develop the Industries.

Mr. Mckinley believes in confidence,
and plenty of it, even if Mr.. Bryan
doesn't. The Republican candidates
address to the Republican Press asso-
citation of Virginia was one of the best
of the many good addresses that he has
made to his thousands of visitors. In
impressing upon the West Virginia edi-
tenn of tariff will give them 'better
towns, better farms, better farm houses,
better schools, better homes and hap
pier people," he added:
But remember that you can do this only
by a restoration of confidence. You can
never do it it you destroy confidence. Great
applause) Strive for fuller development
of your industries; build up a greater and
more profitable home market for the prod
ucts of your farms; advance always that
prosperity which enables the employer to
pay the highest scale Of wages to the work
(Cheers.) Exalt the character of your
labor. Never degrade it. Promote that
comfort and contentment at home which
conduce to good citizenship good morals
and good order. Stand up for America and
America will stand up for you. Great APP

lation which gave US prosperity. Cries of
THAT'S rght!'O
Our esteemed Democratic allies at
Syracuse and Indianapolis do not think
it is the height of political wisdom for
Maj. Mckinley to talk in this strain.
We shall positively decline to quarrel
with our allies, but will have to reserve

wise managers of his campaign the

eloquently by Ii Hung Chang and other
misguided persons.-New York CONNER

Mr.. Bryan,s Irreyerence.

A supercilous irreyerence seems to
pervade much of what Mr.. Bryan says
on the stump. No man who makes Il
joke of the Bible can hope to succeed
in this country in public life. Col.
Robert G.. 1ngersoll. with the brains Of
several Bryans in his head could not
possibly obtain the suffrage of the
people for the smallest elective Office.
The candidate of the Populists may
think it smart to colloquialize Holy
Writ. He may believe that throwing
mud in the eyes of the people is equiv
alent to creating mankind out Of the
dust of the earth. He may think it
cleve to parody the New Testament.
He may regard himself as witty when
he misinterprets, ridcules and falsely
colors the Scriptures. He may assume
that the way TO get votes is by desc
Grating, affronting aud insulting the
Word of God. He may believe that by
doing these things he is helping the
cause of Bryan.
We beg leave to differ with him.

are due until such time as the owner
can meet them. But if they saw that
they would receive at some future time
an amount less than its value in gold.
ana only such a payment could be of
ben it to the borrower, they would de-
manl settlement at once, and, if that
was not Forthcoming, they would fore
close. And foreclosure in panic means
the wiping out of equities.
In the above statement no allowance
is made for loss Of earning power on the
part of the home owner. 1t is assumed,
for the sake OF the argument, that he
will have as much money as he has now.
Even on such showing, free silver to
the great majority would not be help,
but an iniury.-Boston Herald.

An Ant Illustration.

At Toledo Mr.. Bryan said: "If ron
have little home and it only cost you
500 and has but one room, you who
own that little home would be as much
exercised by the announcement it had
caught on fire as would the great man
who lives in marble palace, because it
is your home"
''You" would be a good deal more ex-
ercised. also, if you knew that, Mr..
Bryan having been elected President, the
insurance which you had paid for ont Of
your labor with 100-cent dollars was to
be paid to you in dollars worth 53 cents.
It wouldn't make so much difference
to the man who lives in the marble pal
ace.-Chicago Times Herald.

bury opened the door and handed her in.
He was about to follow when she stopped
him with gesture. 'It now occurs to me
that you had better go back and see that
man who was so good to me, and whom
you sent for the cab for yourself" Her
eyes were flashing angrily now.
"Why?'' he asked with the door in his
hand.
"Well, just recollect that I gave him
your name and my own. You had better
see him if you want to keep our names
out Of the papers. Drive on"

A Pertinent Query.

If Bryan is bound to be elected as the

ing Mysteries about what the gollbiias
will do when Maj. Mckinley is elected?

"Thy VIII BE Done"

On behalf of the United Presbyte-

dersigned members of the session de-
sire to give expression to the follow
ing statements:
That God, in His providence, moves
in a mysterious way, has been brought
home to the hearts of members of our
congregation during the days OF the
present week. Within two short days
in His infinite wisdom and love, He
has come into our midst and removed
from our numbers two of our loved
sisters; on Sabbath the wife of our
beloved pastor, Rev /. G. Rankin.
and on Tuesday the wife of our dear
brother, Mr.. ID. c. Marker Mingling
our tears with these husbands so sore
ly bereaved, we wish hereby to assure
them that our prayers go out to Him
who has broken, that II. would bind
up their hearts, and enable them by
His abundant grace to say "Thy will
be done"
We desire also TO acknowledge that
in these bereavements we hear the
voice of God calling US to more active
and devoted work in the building up
of His kingdom in our midst while he
spares our lives, and that by them
we are also admonished to be ready,
realizing thar in day when we think
not the Son Of Man cometh.
