CHAPTER XIV.
A STRANGE DOCUMENT


AS could not secure carriage to
myself in the train by which l returned
to town, had to defer closer oxamina-
tion of the papers had found until
had gained the seolusion of my own
chambers in Buckingham street.
The first Of tho documents contained
in Green's cigar case was letter, evil
IDENTIFY addressed to Mullen. 1t was
dated from Stavangor, Norway, and
ran as follows:
james, know all I have never
tried to spy into your affairs, but I have
known for a long time that you have
been engaged in some secret undertake
fng which l felt sure was for no good
purpose. Your sudden disappearances
and equally sudden temperatures, and
the large sums of money you have had,
have always been source Of anxiety to
me. That it was some political plot you
were engaged in I was certain, for you
were not at such pains to disguise your
real views before me as you were before
ithers I remember your wild talk about
| .ooiety having conspired to rob you
from before your birth, Of your being
denied the right to bear your fathers

Ing dishonor to you. That your father
was avillain to our mother Snow, and
it may be that from him you inherit
your evil tendencies, and that God may
not hold you morally responsible for
them. But, James, bad as your father
must have been, he was, after all. your
father, and the language you sometimes
used about him has made me- who am
used to your violence, shudder aud turn
sick.
James, promised our dead mother
on her deathbed that would try to be
to you all that she was. She could do
almost as she liked with you-oould
soften you and turn you from evil as no
other person in the world could. There
was some strange sympathy between
you and her. Perhaps your knowledge
Of her one and only sin made you tender
and ohivalrous to her, just as it some-
times-God forgive me!-made me,
who am 80 different from you and her,
hard. And perhaps her memory Of her
one SHINING made her gentle and tender
to you in your many. l have had chill
dren Of my own since then. James. and
I think something has thawed in my
heart that was cold as ice before.
II remember that in those childish
days, when you would come to our
mother after some wild and wicked
deed, she would take you in her arms
and speak softly to you, and that you
would become another creature and
would seek to undo the evil you had
done. But I used to become inpatient.

to pay these tariff duties, but perhaps

Cannot the New England senator's

satisfactory to the sugar trust, and
probably cannot be kept so except by
the votes controlled by the cattle trust

that they will sacrifice the sugar trust
interests to help them"

AS result OF the late war in the

pool have booked orders said to amount
to the enormous sum OF S2O,OO0,0 600, max
ing total of 100000, tons. There
were eleven concerns in the pool and ii
will take them almost year to fill the
orders. 1t is an astonishing fact that
more orders were booked in single
week while the slashing OF prices was
on than were taken altogether in 1896.
The cut from s2S and 800 per ton to s1f
and SIT per ton for steel rails was toe
great u temptation for railroad compan-
les to resist and they purchased heavily.
One result will be that railroad build
ing and repairing will be greatly stlmu-
lated which will be very good thing
in itself, and the railroad companies at
