case above which the great black walls
ofthe chateau loomed fOrbiddingly. There
was a wicket In an old iron-sheathed door
at the stairs head; and When they had
passed through it, they stood in a vast
hall, the walls OF which were covered with
rusting arnor. But the place was for
saken and unlighted save for the poor
rays which fell from the candle in the
lantern; and, indeed, the whole house was
full OF silence as OF the silence Of death.
IL was tremendous relief TO Eugene when
at last he entered the great salon and
beheld his brother standing near the door
to receive him. Every suspicion, every
doubt, all the horrid stories he had heard
at the Hotel Beautreillis were forgotten in
a moment. Kinship, even affection, sue
ceeded to them during the instant OF warm
welcome.

a wood OF shiyering aspens; and what with
the strange, haunting music of their leaves,
and the darkness Of the thieket and the
weird light playing upon the river, whose
course he could mark, like great siIyeryein

than ever he had been in all his life. And
this was surprising, since there was no

A FAST COLT,
lie Had Earned the Right to be Called
CYclOue.

Several men gathered about o horse near
the western market the other morning.
commenting upon the prominence of the
beasts ribs and general lean and lankiness,
The animal belonged to a farmer living near
1psilanti, and, it was said, never permitted
grass to grow under its feet on the road,
The farmer was not pleased with the re.
marks and the strong differences that the
poor thing had never realized the sensation
of corn and oats.
"What do you call your horse:' was
asked.
Cyclone, and don't he look it," replied
the man from the rural districts.
Cyclone! What a name. He certainly
looks as if one had struck him" ....
That's what happened to him, my
friend. 1t was Just like this. You 'remem.
Der the awful breeze we had out to Npsi.
lanti about three years ago. This Teller was
a sucking colt at the time and was in the
barn with two horses. The cyclone, Legular
old hummer, came along and thrasfed the
barn off its legs and dropped it nigh on to
100 yards away. After the twister had raised
all the hob, fences and sheds it could we
ven out to look things up. The two horses
were stone dead, and the colt, would you
believe it, was nowhere to be found.
Next day | turned over the hen coop,
which lay in the field half a mile away.
Right in the coop and laying oil the door
which faced down was the colt. He com.
menced kicking when he heard us and we
took him out in a hurry. He wasn't scared a
bit, | tell you, and was cool as a cucumber.
The neighbors say they saw the coop coin'
through the air and the colt after it. The
little teller caught the coop and got inside of
it to save himself, that's what he did. That's

Dun Says Every Feature of business
0utIooI> Is Encouraging.

New York, July l7.-R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
Excepting the great coal miners strike.
which may terminate at any time, there
is scarcely a feature of the husines out
look which Is not encouraging, the sea-
son considered. Crop prospects have been
improved by needed rain in some regions
and foreign advices continue to promise a
large demand. In many home industries,
particularly in building, there is more ac-
tivity than in any year since 1892, and the
week has brought a better demand In boots
and shoes and in woolens, while the move
ment of freight, mainly iron ore, through
the Sault Ste. Marie ca nal Is the largest in
it's history. With money markets I'M
clouded. there is nothing in sight to hinder
rapid Improvement when uncertainty about
legislation has been removed.
THE advance in wheat to Sis cents was
not due to the government estimate, which
was followed by a decline. but to foreign
advices and considerable buying for ex-
port. DEMAND Is already felt from Aus
tralia, Brazil and even Argentina, while
the promise for European crops is not con-
sidered bright. The disposition of farmers
to keep back wheat for higher prices may
affect the outward movement"
