house with the mystery of the cellar

My old nurse insisted on my remain

me seated on the porch while she went
inside to prepare the meal.
From my seat could see the station
far down the hill, through the trees.
Two men were moving about on the
platform, but the distance was too
great to allow distinction of ANYTHING
but their forms.

The Farmers % Congress.

This body recently held its annual
meeting in ST. Paul, but diligent in
quiry failed to disclose any good that
came out Of it, except free excur.
sion to it's delegates into the Red Riv-
er Valley, given by II railroad. Many
delegates said that they saw a coun-
try upon That excursion that they
would not otherwise have seen, and
they called the congress good" A
body of farmers (2) that.incontinently
tabled, without discussing, a resolu-
ton against trusts, and voted down
other analogous resolutions, can rea-
sonably be said to come nearer repre-
sentipg the railroad that rendered the
excursion than the farmers in whose
name it assembled, and so the excur.
sion was quite appropriate. 1t is said
that the machine rule" heretofore
dominant ia the congress was DESTROY
ed, aud hereafter it will be nearer
what it should be. The confession
hat there was ''machipe" that

ton in which this paper has ever held

bit of cheap political taffy aud an
assurance that the governor propos-

meeting resulted in re-organizlt ion;
let US hope SO; heaven knows there
was need enough for it. There is
some correspondence in hand from
delegates, that will! appear later and
throw some light upon this body. 1t
must not be understood that no farm
ers were present, for there were, and
good ones, too, and they cut some

Why had Skinner tried to shoot me,

now appear such craven that he fed,

CHAPTER XIII.

A groom was sent to Twineburgh for
s doctor. This was contrary to Mr.,
Morley's wish. He insisted that doe
tor was not necessary, and it was only
to appease the anxiety of his daughter
that he finally consented to see med
zeal man.
But all the daughters entreaties
could not move him to go to bed. He
lay down on the couch in the library,
and Florence sat beside him, holding
one of his hands. / left them thus to-
gether and went outside.
Before left the mans voice had re-
sumed much of it's usual v:gor. For
one who had seemed to be as near col
lapse as he, strength returned very rap
idly.
Notwithstanding my pity for Flor
ence, there was great pride and joy in
my heart. The sweetest girl in the
world was mine. All troubles, mys-
teries, the "reminiscences of the past
year, seemed petty and trivial beside
this thought. Mr.. Morley had given
his consent to our marriage; indeed,
1t was an absolute command.
The scene under the trees came back
to me, and could,not repress a shudder
as I thought of the fathers horrible
premonitions and the overwhelming eff
feet produced by them.
I walked about the grounds or re-
elined on enc of the many seats scat
, tered around, determined to await the
Doctors arrival. My mind would con-
stantly revert to the secret trouble
which was SO evident and powerful q
factor in Mr.. Morley's life; and what it
was that could so affect gentleman of
his standing and wealth furnished me
matter for speculation. The great
motive and influence in the fathers life,
knew, was his love for his only child.
Therefore it seemed that the hidden
trouble must arise from some sorrow or
danger which threatened Florence.
The thought caused me considerable
uneasiness.
1 had not realized how morbidly
sensitive the robbery had made me, I'M
til now. All the unfathomed events and
incidents which had occurred during
the two days I had been here seemed in
some indefinable way connected with
the affair, or the result of it.
The doctor arrived much sooner than
I had expected. Indeed, the idea of
giving medical advice to great man
like Mr.. Morley was incentive strong
enough to cause country physician to
kill his horse in the endeavor to reach
tho patient as quickly as possible.
After quite a time spent over Mr.. Nor
ley, the doctor stepped out on the
porch, and, drawing on his gloves, de.
layed his departure to answer a few
questions which Florence, who had fol.
lowed, put to him. 1t was impossible
for the worthy physician to conceal
wholly his sense of Importance, al
though he tried to appear as though it
was by no means an unusual thing to be
found administering potions to mil
lionaires.
Florence anxiously listened to his
words of advice, and then withdrew. /
had some hope of speaking to her, but
she only bestowed on me u sad, sweet
smile, which told of her love for me
as well as her anxiety for the father,
and with that had to be content.

ately to Twineburgh, I proposed to ac-
company him. lie expressed his pleas
