that the natural and easy way OF maintaining
forever the parity of all gold silver and paper

The author holds that our financial and in

system of coin redemption, and he points out e
way to speedy relief
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome OF the principles OF the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the

CHAPTER 1.


"Aye. but to die and go we know not where,
To lie i'll cold obstruction" ."-Shatspeare.
Twas midnight, and the sleety
showers battered on the window
panes, as the moaning gusts of wind
drove ftfully along the murky
clouds that Obscured the heavens
and howled mournfully around the
antiquated house, in which a single
chamber was lighted by dim lamp
that threw its faint glare through
the bedizzened easement into the
gloom without.
Within, three men were seated
around a small fire, which burned
dimly on the hearth, conversing in
an under tone; and on a low cur
tanned bed, at the farther end of
the room, lay fourth, breathing
with a heavy and difficult respira-
tion. Near the head of the bed
stood small stand, covered with
writing materials and a roll of paper,
which appeared to have been re-
Gently traced with the sable fluid.
The eldest of the three seated
about the fire, who appeared to take
the most conspicuous part in the
smothered conversation carried on
by the trio, was tall, sparely-
formed man, with slightly grizzled
hair, small gray eyes, and thin,
shrunken cheeks. He wore a dark
brown doublet of antique cut, and
a blue cloth coat and buff -cOlored
breeches, with broad silver knee
and shoe buckles. The other two
were dressed nearly in the same
fashion, but less costly.
"He appears to sleep soundly,"
said the principal of the party, as
he cast look towards the couch of
the sick man.

man to whom the first speaker
seemed to address himself, "but he
breathes deep and heavily-the
doctor must have administered a
powerful opiate. But its effects
will soon work off, and he will
awake for better or worse"
"That was rather an unfortunate
stroke of business for Tomlin. l
had no idea he would have been so
rash in the-what he might have
forseen-fruitless attempt to secure
his money-bags," continued the
first speaker; "but what has tran
spired can't be amended by regrets,
and we'll have to be comfOrted with
Pope's saying, whatever is, is
right"
"But the daughter will be a
pretty prize for some fellow, if she
has the good. fortune to inherit all
her fathers estate" said Mel, vary
ing the conversation.
"Well, she's sole heir by the
WILL" said the other, "and what is
most remarkable, he would have no
clause inserted in that document,
by which the administrator may be
governed, in case of her dying be-
fore the estate comes into her
hands,"

CHAPTER II.

"Then pause and be enlightened-there is more
In such survey. than the sating gaze
OF wonder pleased. '-ChiLde Harold.
The early and greater part of Mr..
Tomlin's life had been spent in the
great emporium, New York, in
commercial pursuits. BY industry
and frugality, he had acquired an
extensive fortune; but his whole
business career he had run through
alone, and spent a life of "single
blessedness' while in pursuit of the
golden bauble, with no partner to
soothe his cares and sweeten the
hours of relaxation. OF kindred
ties by blood we may say he had
none, the nearest being removed to
that of second cousins, and those
were Greenberry and Miles OFer-
guson, the only representatives of
even that remote connexion. In
early youth, and the light hours of
boyhood, John James Tomlin and
Henry Greenberry had become at
tached by the strongest ties of friend
ship, but destiny had shaped out a
different path for each, and pursuits
of business had cast their homes far
asunder.
Mr.. Tomlin, too, was the senior
of his friend by several years, and
of cool, calculating business tenn
permanent, that laid hold of the OBJ
ject of his pursuit with a tenacious
grasp, and executed his plans with
an inhexible perseverance, which
never failed to crown his endeavOrs
with ultimate success. Greenberry,
on the other hand, had all the ardor
and impetuosity of youth, with that
romantic fervor which scars above,
|
and flies from the dry monotony OF
{ every day life in search of the grand
and beautiful.
But the chain of their friendship
was still kept bright by the frequent
and mutual interchange of friendly
greetings. Mr.. Tomlin having con-
sumed the ardor of well-emplOyed
life in the vortex Of the business
world, finding the autumn of man
hood touching with its scar his dark
brown locks, and the sloping path
of old age opening gradually before
him, began to contrast his lonely
and cheerless situation with that Of

IL COUNTY. MD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1897. NO. 22

"Farewell, my little Rose ~ said
the father, as he consigned the in
nocent flower of mortality to the
maternal care of Mrs. Greenberry
but that little one could, as yet,
feel none of those hallowed sensa-
tions which in after life were des.
tined to pour through her soul with
a holy and vivifying influence, like
the rays Of light through the flood
gates of morning, and was only
anxious to regain the arms of her
adopted mother.
"Be a mother to my dear Rose,
and may Heaven bless you! said
the affectionate father.
Mrs. Greenberry bowed in silent
assent, and placed the girl beside
her own natural son, who was of
the same age as his adopted sister,
and who, while this scene was en-
acting, was clinging to his mothers
side. The dying parent, still fol
lowing with the fond eyes of affec-
tion his little daughter, gazed for a
moment in silence on the twin
brother and sister, as it were, then
placing a hand on each of their
heads, said
"May Heaven bless you, and
make you as dear to each other as
my departed Mary was ever dear
to me! Farewell! And farewell,
dear friends all. Let me press your
hands for the last time. Farewell,
Mr.. Greenberry, be friend to my
daughter. And you, Miles, you
have ever been kind to me"
But these last words of the dying
man shook the stern soul of OFFER
guson, and his rigid countenance
changed its color, as though some
secret chord in his bosom had been
suddenly touched, which had long
lain dormant.
"Farewell, Mel and Davy-
where are you my sight grows
dim, and you fade from before me :"
The breathing of the dying man
grew more difficult-his last words
produced but rattling sound in
his throat. His eyes grew cold and
glassy-he stretched out his arms,
and John James Tomlin lay a
corpse, and Rose was left alone in
the world, without father or mother.
sister or brother! Those who stood
around the couch of the dead man
withdrew in awe and silence, and
the gloom of sorrow rested on the
house of the honored dead

ed debts, proceeds from lots, houses,
&c., often called him back to the
great emporium of the Union. On
one of these occasions, and about
three years after the death of his
wife, Mr.. Tomlin was returning
from the place of his nativity, with
a large sum of money in gold. The
night was cloudy and dark, the
crescent moon had long sunk be-
meath the western horizon, and the
little stars were veiled by the
murky canopy which shrouded the
sky. He was, however, fast ap-
preaching home-that home which,
since the death of his wife, had
been occupied by the family of his
early friend. He had crossed the
dilapidated bridge that arched the
Wallo-wish, close by the house of
Miles O'Ferguson, and was hurry
ing along the road that wound along
the bank of the stream, through a
long defile, skirted on either side by
deep thickets of hazel and alder.
A sensation allied to fear thrilled
through the veins of the traveller
as he plunged into this spectral-like
place, and pursued his course along
it's dark thoroughfare, at a pace that
was rapidly carrying him towards
home. Two thirds were already
passed, and short turn through
the narrowest part of the detile, and
winding close along the beach where
the stream swept impetuously over
it's rocky bottom, with an incessant
roar, lay before our nocturnal way
farer. Once through this dark pass,
the rest of the road seemed safe and
short. But as he entered it, bis
horse was suddenly stopped by
strong arm, and gruff voice de-
manded his purse. A stroke of his
heavy whip, however, disengaged
our hero, and he attempted to dash
off from the robbers; but in this he
was fOiled, for another of the band,
seizing him by the leg, dragged him
from the saddle, while the frighten-
ed horse galloped away. Mr.. Tom
lin grappled with the assassin, and
seizing him by the throat, hurled
him to the ground. The bandit,
finding himself so roughly handled,
together with the not very pleasant
prospect of being strangled, drew a
dagger and stabbed his antagonist.
The ruffian succeeded in releasing
himself by the time his companions
came to the rescue, and securing
the booty, they made off, leaving
their victim dying, as they suppos-
ed. The next morning Mr.. Tomlin
was found by some of O'Ferguson's
family lying in the pass, more dead
than alive, conveyed home, and med
ical aid procured. But the physi-
clan, on examining the wound, pro-
nounced it fatal. BY the murdered
mans request, Miles O'FergusOn
was summoned to write his will, by
which all his property, save gra-
tuitous recompense to her guardian.
Mr.. Greenberry, was bequeathed to
Rose, when she should arrive at
the age of eighteen. The sequel to
this chapter has been narrated in
the preceding one.
