nize her lover. eyes, evidently he
loves her. wish she had not been so
| sure OF him. 1t is such temptation
to prove her words false"
That was what the quiet-looking
girl was thinking, as she again
| wrapped her shawl about her and
walked slowly down the path.
In few moments she heard her
name called, and pausing and looking
back, she saw the two coming toward
her.
When they were little nearer the
man hurried forward, and, raising his
hat, said, in q tone which was not
quite steady:
II do not know what you will think
of us. [ confess 1 was, for the mo-
ment, capable of thinking only of Miss
Stallo. You will forgive that, / know.
l cannot tell you how grateful l am to
YOU"
'Indeedl why?" asked Miss
Branch.
Although her words were abrupt,
the voice in which she spoke them was
far from being SO. There was silky
softness in it that Julia Stallo had
never heard before, and which made
her look quickly at the girl who had
spoken, while pain, that was almost
like knife thrust, suddenly went
through her heart.
Miss Branch had only glanced at Mr..
North as she had replied, and he had
not given any thought to her, SO pro-
foundly was he absorbed in the danger
which had 80 recently threatened the
girl he loved.
When the two walked away Miss
Branch turned into another path and
walked rapidly toward the house.
There was flush on her cheeks and
q sparkle in her eyes that gave her an
aspect altogether different from that
which she had worn an hour before.
When she reached her own room
she sat down before the fire without
removing her wraps. Looking into
the burning Goals with an intent gaze,
her face gradually changed, untilJuli
Stallo would hardly have known it.
The white hands were held tightly
together until their beauty-and they
were very beautiful-was marred by
rude pressure.
"What do / owe to any man among
them?" she uttered, at length, in a
half whisper. "And as for Julia, she
is baby in her feelings, and will not
suffer much"
Sherose and walked with determined
air across the room. Some one
knocked. She opened the door and
Julia stood there.
MAY l come in ?" she asked.
81 was just coming to discover if
you were still frightened" responded
Miss Branch, taking Julia's hand in
her own. and looking with more than
ordinary keenness into the girls face.
Don't speak of it," cried Julia,
with shudder. II shall never be
able to see a dog again without
fright. Think of what might have
happened if Luke had not come He
says he admires you for your presence
of mind, although you are But how
I do chatter!" catching herself up
with blush. "He admires you SO
much"
"Even though l am SO plain"
calmly remarked Miss Branch, no flush
staining her cheeks as she spoke words
SO difficult for woman to accept.
"But | did not mean to tell you
that, d" caresslngly said Julia.
Miss Branch laughed, not bitterly
to the ear in the least.
"Oh, L don't mind it at ALL" she
said, lightly. 81 am plain, and know

In her heart she was saying:
HE shall pay for these words"

Strike Nav Last sixty Paws,

Three facts loom up from the mass of
news relative to the strike of the soft coal
miners. These are: That the strikers are
to make q most determined effort to en-
list the West Virginia miners In the strike.
They see that they cannot win as long as
West Virginia coal can be poured into the
market. That the Ohio roads hauling
West Virginia coal to the lakes are re-
quired by their employees to quit hauling
that coal or have strike Of their own.
That the coal famine is rapidly approach
ing an acute stage, inconvenience being
felt by all middle-western cities conse-
quent upon the decline in supply and adj
vance in price of the fuel. Cleveland,
o., dispatch says: Positive information
has been received that the Ohio railroads
have decided to refuse to haul West
Virginia coal. These roads include the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Cleveland, Lo-
rain and Wheeling, the Wheeling and
Lake Erie and the Cleveland, Canton and
Southern. The information lacks verifi-
cation. A special from New Straitsville,
o., says: Eight cars Of coal standing on
the siding at mine No. were let loose
by unknown persons and ran half mile
down grade through a switch, making
complete wreck" Dan Hanna, manager
of NJ. A. Hanna & CO., said that as long
as the West Virginia coal was mined
there could be no particular stringency,
as there is sufficient coal out Of the earth
already to last until winter. Small deal
ers, however, are squirming over their in
ability to get coal for retail orders from
the big dealers. The big dealers will not
part with their supply.

owner, after whom the town of Creede,
Colo, is named, committed suicide with
morphine at his home in Los Angeles,
CAL, because his wife, from whom ne mad

marriage relations. On Jan. last Creede
and his wife separated and agreed to DIS
solve at once, as far as possible without
legal process, their marital bonds. Mrs.

dered all further claims upon her nus
band, ut the same time voluntarily With
drawing from his premises. 1t was I'M
derstood, after the necessary time hao
elapsed, Creole would institute Legal pro-
ceedings and begin suit for absolute oil

husband and wife were well satisfied that

mate relations, and while Mrs. Creole
considered that the amount of cisn set
tied upon her was insignificant as COM
pared with her husbands wealth. she left
him and took up her home in Alabama.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Greece re-
turned to Los Angeles and proposed to
her husband a reconciliation. This was
much to Creede's distaste, ami he endeav-
ored to avoid his wife, but being unsuc-
cessful, he determined to end his life. He
took large dose of morphine and went
into the garden to die. He was discoT-
cred by a servant and medical aid was
summoned, but he died two hours later.

Fed by Many Springs.

What is said to be the greatest discov-
cry ever made is reported from Alaska.
Some gold prospectors several months ago
ran across what seemed to be lake OF
oil. The lake was fed by innumerable
springs and the surrounding mountains
were full Of coal. They brought samples
to Seattle and tests proved it to be of as
high grade as any ever taken out of Penn
sylvania wells. A company was formed
and experts sent up. They have returned
on the steamer Topeka and their report
has more than borne out first reports. 1t
is said there is enough oil and coal in the
discovery to supply the world. 1t is close
to the ocean, in fact the experts say that
the oil oozes out into the salt water. 1T
is said that the Standard Oil Company
has already made an offer for the proper
ty. The owners have filed on 5000 acres
and are naturally very much excited over
their prospects for fortune.

No wonder Seattle has gone stark, star
ing mad OH gold. The North American
Transportation Company's steamer Port
land reached that port Saturday from st.
Michaeis with at least million and
quarter in gold dust as freight and sixty
eight miners aboard. Some of the miners
have with them $4,000, and not one of
them had less than $4,000, every dollar of
which has been taken from the Clondyke
within the year, and most of these men have
claims in that fabuIously rich region that
almost beyond doubt will net them hun
dreds of thousands more In the captain
cabin W ere three chests and large safe
filled with the precious nuggets, most of
it taken out of the ground in less than
three months of last winter. In size the
nuggets range from that of pea to
guinea hens egg. One peculiar feature
is that the big strikes were made by ten
derfeet," while the old miners of many
years experience, after suffering in
describable hardships and privations in
Alaska and the Northwest Territory,
have only a few thousand dollars to show
for their labor. Fortune seemed to smile
on the inexperienced men who went into
the mining districts late last year, as
nearly all of them were the most fortu-
nate.

SPALDING WINS AGAIN.
Second Trial Results as Did the First,
in an AcQuittaI.

Charles Warren Spalding, former presi-
dent of the Globe Savings Bank, of Chi
cago, and former treasurer of the State
University, has again been declared by Il
jury to be innocent of embezzlement.
From the time that the Court gave the
jury his instructions there was little
doubt in the mind Of anyone as to the
outcome. The States Attorney and the
attorneys for the defense agreed that there
was nothing left for the jury to do except
to return a verdict of not guilty. The
Court had said that in the agreement be-
tween Spalding and the university trus-
tees by which interest was paid upon the
funds Of the university there had been
established the relation Of borrower and
debtor, and it could make no difference
what the treasurer did with the funds so
intrusted to his care. The Court had also
stated that if the jury believed that
Spalding used the money he raised upon
the bonds to meet the obligations of the
university then he was not guilty of en-
bezzement, and the jury had no re-
course. 1t was Il question of intent.

MARKET FOR OUR WHEAT.
Agricultural Department Sees fossi-
bilities in Eastern Asia.

Agricultural Department Sees Fossi-
bi!ities in Eastern Asia.
Some important data as to the possibll-
ity of the material extension Of the for
eign maj kets for our cereals is given III
report of the Agricultural Department on
United States Wheat for Eastern Asia.
Owing to the rapid recent development OF
new wheat producing areas in other parts
of the world and the increasing competl-
ton the United States is compelled to
meet in European markets the future dis
posal of our surplus wheat has become an
important question. 1t has been suggest
ed that the changes now taking place III
the civilizations of Japan and China may
result in the opening there of markets
for our wheat that will to some extent
compensate us for losses that may be IN
CURED through the increasing competition
of other countries in the European mar
kets that this country formerly was able
to control. The report says that chief
among the conditions of the plausibility
of the suggestion Is the remarkable in
crease in our expectations of wheat to
eastern Asia during the decade just clos
ing. Most of this wheat is shipped In the
form of flour, exports of grain being COM
paratively SMALL The total amount OF
wheat -four shipped to Japan and China
during the entire fiscal year 1897, just
closed, should reach. it is stated, about
100000 barrels, equivalent to more than
100000 bushels of wheat. The major
portion of American flour sent across the
Pacific goes to Hong Kong, and is thence
distributed to other Chinese ports. Elk
ports of flour to Japan, while considerably
smaller than to China, show an increase
during the last few years proportionately
even greater than to China. 1t is esti-
mated that the total exports of wheat
flour from this country to Japan during
the fiscal year just ended amounted to
100000 barrels. The exports of wheat
in the grain have been chiefly to Japan.
American wheat also is sent to eastern
Asia in the form of bread and biscuits,
but not In very large quantities. Official
statistics indicate that the capacity of
Japan for wheat production has not in
creased commensurately with the growth
in population, showing constantly increas-
ing dependence upon the wheat fields Of
other countries for its supply. Clearly,
these oriental countries are well worth
the attention of the American wheat
grower. especially now that Russia, Ar
gentina and other great wheat producing
countries are competing with us so strong
ly for the European market.
