II CAN'T BREATHE EASY WHILE HE
LIVES,

II CAN'T BREATHE EASY WHILE HE
LIVES,
On the 1st of September at eight
o'clock in the evening two men were
seated in Squire Hills library; one Of
them was the owner of Orton, the other
was Herbert Lathrop.
"Well, Herbert" said the squire, If
the information brings you joy, wish
that it may long continue-Clara has at
length consented to become your wife"
Squire, I'm the happiest man alive"
"She will probably inform you that
she does not love you, and consents to
the union because her father and elder
brother desire it, but in time | trust
you will win her heart, You see,
shifting ones affections from an uncle
to a nephew Is not q matter to be effect
ed in so short time; then, too, remem-
Der that Angus Bruce saved the girls
life, and, but for the fact that he
proved the murderer Of your uncle,
and turned pirate, I doubt not we
should have trouble in that quarter.
You know, when a man risks his life
to save woman he is apt to remain a
hero in her sight"
II believe, squire, that Clara and
Fannie have decided that their mar
riage shall take place on the 10th of
October, her birthday. l know the
time Is very short since her fathers
death, but I also know that he would
not desire the wedding deferred, and
under the circumstances l think best
that 1t should take place as earl y as
possible. You see, this Is no ordinary
case--an orphan, and one that one day
will come into possession Of her inner
itance. Who but a husband could con
flde her interests to? trust, squire
that Clara will be willing that our mar
riage take place at the same time"
"Yes, | think so, Have Fannie urge
her, you also, and with Clarence and
TO help the cause she can but nc
quiesce. But you have seen to-day
paper, Herbert?"
"No, squire; anything new?"
IL should say there was, Black Bear(

the evening with Clara. A servant wo'
ordered TO summon their coNchmNn
and they took their departure for Ken

When they had gone, the squire en-

Bruce has taught me to doubt all men.
I adhered to the opinion TINT It was not
he that was Black Beard as long as
possible, but as I can doubt no longer,
/ can ascribe his acts TO but one cause
"And that, my daughter?"
"Was his love for me.
"When he found himself In the pres

probably requested him to release my
hand, Mr.. Lloyd refusing caused hot
words, and the tragedy occurred l
could not believe this but for his fight,
Had he remained and proclaimed his
innocence. I would have believed him
against the world. Then having to
fee for murder, what wonder that he
became q pirate. And now, with many
thousand dollars on his head, what
wonder that he remains one. Oh, An
gus! August"
"Daughter, why shed idle tears for
one unworthy of you?"
"But for Angus, father, I had not been
here to shed them. Think you ] can
ever forget him?"
"Well, daughter, you could never
have wed him, had he not turned muir
derer and pirate"
"Father, l am very miserable when
reflect that indirectly I am the cause
of the unfortunate death of Mr.. Lloyd
and of Angus being d murderer and a
pirate, his mother and sister desert
ed by him. l must go and see them.
Tom, will you bear NE company"
Certainly, sister, at any time"
"Well, daughter, Clarence and Fan
ME will wed October 10. What say you
to the same time, and we will have q
double wedding after all.
Fannie was pleading with me,
father, and have consented. The
time matters little, be 1t when it may.
The sooner the better, perhaps, for
then l at least can lie the cause of no
more bloodshed."
AS they rode home Fannie told Rer-
bert that Clara had consented that
there should be two marriages on her
birthday instead Of one.
Fannie, you're jewel" said Her
bert.
"But you must be very good to Clara,
COUSIN" said Fannie, land remember
she has seen much trouble"
II will, Fannie, I will, and always
worship her"
When they arrived home Fannie has
tened to her room, AID Herbert drew a
seat up to the fireplace.
"a month and ten days more" he
said, "and I shall have accomplished
my object, Then Clara Hill will be-
come my wife, and Clarence and Fannie
will be united. Then If by some chance
Angus might be killed, could Danish
the last fear.
81 can't breathe easy while he lives;
if he should be captured alive and
brought into a court Of justice he would
of course denounce me as the murderer
of my uncle, but his evidence would be
unsubstantiated, and l, by that time,
will be so well hemmed in, with Clara as
my wife, Squire Hill, the wealthiest
planter on the river, as my father-in-
law, and Tom-well, don't just like

able to leave are doing SO, but the less
fortunate will join the revolution and

NEW YORK, Jan. u. In his weekly
review Of the financial situation, Henry
Clews says:
The Wall street markets remain gen.
orally quiet There is now almost an
entire absence of the spirit of distrust
evoked by the Venezuelan affair, and it
is taken for granted that the DISPOSE
ton on both sides to settle the matter
through arbitration, or by conference
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
will prevent any other disturbances Of
public confidence. There is also dis
appearance Of the London district
towards our investments which forced
home such large amounts of stocks and
bonds Immediately after the president
message; and, beyond an indisposition
to subscribe for the new bonds, moth
+ ing unusual remains in our financial re-
lations with Great Britain.
Bond Issue VIII Be Taken. -.
There is every indication that the
subscriptions to the United States loan
to be opened Feb. will easily take up
the entire 800, 200, 900 bonds offered.
The bond syndicate, realizing this fact,
concluded to step out, which, to say the
least, is Q magnanimous act. The an
nouncement Of the dissolution of the
syndicate, however, reveals the fact
that the syndicate had received SUBJ
scrptions amounting to $500, OO0, 900,
which amount was pledged to be paid
into the United States treasury as re-
quired, thus showing the supply of gold
in this country ready to go into govern
ment bonds at a remunerative rate. and
which must be a surprise not only at
home but abroad After this exhibition
of gold strength, it will scarcely be fair
for European bankers and others to
continue their predictions that the
United States government will be un-
able to maintain gold payments.

H0rsewhipped tho Tramps.

CENTRAL1A, No., Jan. 2l.-Three
tramps visited this city Saturday even
ing, and, after becoming intoxicated,
began to disturb the peace by entering
stores, restaurants and other places of
business and threatening the lives of
several citizens. They were locked up
by the city marshal. Less than an
hour later they were taken from the
officers by six masked men and escorted
to point one mile east of the city,
where each tramp was given a severe
horsewhipping and then released.
