Count Languedoc, If you confide In
that man, you are ruined; the horrors
which come, whatever they may be,will
lie upon your own conscience Believe
me, I beseech you, for this once in your
life. M. Pierre is the leader of the band
who wait but the signal for numbering
us ALL" cried the countess, sternly.
"Apretty ccusation to bring forward
against faithful fellow have known
and trusted for years; he is as anxious
and alarmed as any one Of u.s."
He is an artful knave, indeed, II he
has won your confidence so thoroughly
that you will accept his word in contra
diction to your wife and child" re-
torted the countess, bitterly.
ooh, papa, papa, believe u.s." cried
Felicie, 1--WE have proof of his treach-
cry, we heard with our own ears, we
saw with our own eyes"
"Tell me precisely what you accuse
him Of, what is your proof?"
II will gladly do it, if you will assure
me that you will not carry the story
to him."
"Ah," sneered the count, "you will
not allow him the opportunity to clear
himself. I shall give you no such as
surance, for 1 should certainly allow
him to vindicate his honesty"
The countess wrung her hands.
"Perverse to the last! Immovable as
a rock! What can We do?"
"Obey my instructions, get ready
your clothing, and have bridal dress
for Felicie. 1t shall not be said a Lam
guedoc was without fitting wedding
garments, even in such time as this"
The countess and her daughter went
silently away. What could be done to
convince him of the folly and wicked
ness of his conduct?
Edward was feverish and too Ill tc
rise the next morning. Much as this de-
lay distressed them, there seemed no
other alternative than to be patient.
But they were careworn, anxious faces
which gathered around the breakfast
table. Immediately after the meal, how
ever, Lady Felicie came flying to her
mothers side with sparkling eyes. In
her hand she held a small nosegay of
wild flowers.
cob, mamma, I seem to have found
strength and safety. Emile is certainly

The countess face frightened like
wise.

eyes, yes. What if we go to meet
him there at the tree? You know since
my fathers return, the ghosts have for
saken the woods. He may give us valu-
able information"
II will think about it. 1t will be diff
ficult to elude your fathers observa-
ton, and he would peremptorily forbid
our. leaving the house. Yet it is worth
the trial"

Chicago Man Solves the Problem OF Conn
municating With Moving Trains.
CHICAGO, Aug. 30. The most diff
cult problem of railroad operation-how
to communicate by telegraph with Q
moving train anywhere on the line. has
been solved by young Chicago in
ventor. Edison, who has been expert
menting with induction currents, has
been fairly beaten on his own chosen
ground.
George v. Trott, former telegraph
operator, has devised system which
will shortly be put in operation on the
Pennsylvania railroad, by which every
train on the line is in constant commu-
nication with the station next ahead,
and, when desired, with the train dis
patcher or any public telegraph station.
Briefly, every train on road equipped
with the Trott system, would at all
times be on '1oop" circuit extending
to the next telegraph station ahead, and
to send messages farther or receive
them from other stations, the operator
at the proper station would only have
to "cut in" by means of '.jackspring''
on one of the regular telegraph wires.
Mr.. Trott's device is exclusively me.
chanical. It involves no new or untried
principles, and will require no more
power to operate it than the ordinary
duplex cell battery at the regular tsle'
graph station.

GRAVE DANGER OF FAMINE.

Predicted That the Food Supply ON the
Klondike Will BE Short.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 80.-W. A.
Ryan, one of the special correspondents
Of the Associated Press, en- route to the
Yukon gold fields, writes from st. Mi
chaels under date of Aug. 10 to the sf-
feet that there is grave danger Of q
famine on the Kondike this winter.
According to all reports received from
the upper country it will be impossible
to land sufficient food at Dawson City
to support the population already de-
pendant upon that place for supplies.
r. T. Lying, the California agent Of the
Alaska Commercial company at st. Mi.
chaels, declares that there are over z, 900
idle men at Dawson, and new parties
are arriving every day. Miners return
ing from the Klondike, who left there
in July. report that food was running
low then, and it was disposed Of as fast
as discharged from the steamers. Old
timers realize the situation and predict
distress and death as result Of the
Klondiko craze

Best Claims All Taken.
The common report among returning
miners is that there is nothing in the
country now worth having that has not
BEEN staked off, and that the owners
will refuse fabulous prices for their
claims.
No new discoveries are reported from
the upper countries. The hillside abut.
ting on the richest claims on Bonanza
and Eldorado have been staked off and
several quartz claims have been filed
upon them in the same vicinity. The
rock taken out Of the quartz claims is
rich, but the hillside claims are not
showing up much.
It has been stated that the North
American Trading and Transportation
company brought $750,O00 from their
various storeHon the Yukon, but this
cannot be verified. It is generally un-
derstood that the company would not
bring out its money until the next trip
of the Portland, when she would be
conveyed by revenue cutter.

THE WHEAT SHORTAGE.

Worlds Supply Of Grain Far Loss Than
the Amount Needed.
BUDAPEST, Aug. 80. The ministry Of
agriculture has issued its annual esti-
mate, in which it describes the worlds
harvest as extraordinarily light. The
total yield Of wheat is placed at $751;
100000 metric hundredweight, while
the present annual requirements are es-
timated at 600, $50, 900 metric hundred
weight. It is calculated that for 1897
and 1898 there will be shortage Of 5O,.
8OO,O 900 hundredweight. The report
states that many exporting countries,
such as European Turkey, Egypt, Aus
tralia and Austro- Hungary, will either
be unable to export grain or be compelled
to import, while others, including Brit
ish India, Argentina and Chile, will
have their wheat export considerably
reduced.
