Will be as much interested in
this question as yourself, as It bears
upon subject In which the entire
people are interested and that is
which is the best route to Washing
ton, the Capital of the United
States? We claim the distinction
for the Buckeye Route, as being
the best, because In connection
with the B. & o. r. r.. via Athens,
1t forms the shortest and most di-
rect line from Northern and Gen.
trail Ohio points. In connection
with the B. & o. n. r., through yes.
tibuled Pullman Sleeping and
Drawing room cars of the most ap-
proved pattern are run every day
In the year, leaving Toledo at 4:55
p. M, reaching Washington next
day noon and Baltimore 1885 p. M.
This route takes you via the His
toric Potomac, Harpers Ferry and
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Solid
trains are run from Toledo to Ath-
ems, connecting with the Royal
Blue Line through to New York
via Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, carrying elegan day
coaches and superb vestibuled
sleeping cars through without
change. Please keep this fact In
mind when you have occasion to
go east and see that your tickets
read via the Buckeye Route and
the Royal Blue Line. Agents of
the @. III. V. & T. Ry. will secure
you sleeping car berths, your bag
gage, and see you started right.

closer investigation II was discover
ed that even the furniture was somo-
what damaged. There were also
several familiar corpses lying around
loose, which upon a closer examina-
tion proved to be the tenements of
clay that had formerly held the i'm
mortal portions of the haywood fam
lily. 1t was not necessary to hunt for
strawberry marks in this case. AL
bert was satisfied without a coroner
or an inquest. He was under the
conviction that he was an orphan
and the fact seemed to somewhat
strengthen the impression. AS there
had previously been four members
of the family besides himself and
Rose, and the four corpses that were
strewn about promiscuously were
those of his father and mother anil
Rill and Hammer, it was only
fair to presume that our hero was
right in his conjecture that he was
very much an orphan. Even Wetzel
who was a confirmed skeptic on most
every question, was reasonably well
assured of the matter and required
very little argument to come to the
conclusion that appeared to have
fastened itself upon Albert.

Again they resumed their rapid
pace-and lope.
"I have been fearful of this for the
last "a hours" pursued Albert, soli-
loquizing aloud, as was his habit,
and very bad one 1T was too, for 1t
frequently gave him away.
"Why SOP" asked Wetzel in some
surprise, as he naturally would be
after finding Albert so far away when
he was needed.
Ihad presentiment."
"Where did it take yer?" asked
Wetzel.
"a premonition of evil" returned
Albert.
"where did yer git itP" enquired
the old hunter.

"Now l catch. Yer felt it COM

Eyes, that's it. have been nerv-
GUS and alarmed for hours. There
was hobo at our house yesterday
and 1 suspected him. He acted
queerly, so they told me-. He would.
mt eat pie that Rose had baked and
said something about eating leather
and suggested that his burden was
heavy enough without adding to it.
Yes / know the blow has fallen. He
did not want Roses pie but he want
ed Rose. Would that he had eaten
the pie and perished!"
"I'll bet ten pounds of the best

my that I've been trailin', to the
home o. yer paternal ancestor, and
jist about now yer out sweetheart.

will give 'em ther cramps afore they
are many hours older. Yer can count
on me fer the hull campaign"
Albert stopped long enough to en-
brace his friend with much feeling,
and his arms of course, and then they
moved on.
After long time, which seemed
to be ages to Albert, they reached the
hill overlooking the home of the
Maywoods. Rushing through the
bushes they bounded to the top of
the hill and looked over eagerly
down into the valley. Both uttered
exclamations of amazement and hor-
ror at the same moment, or perhaps
moment and half between their
exclamations, and reeling like a
drunken man Albert staggered
against Wetzel, who catching him in
his huge arms, gave friendly sup
port to his half-fainted form.
The house was there!

of Secretary Olney's set aside aud
the old scale of consular fees re-
sumed, but Mr.. Mckinley feared
the scandal that would follow such
action on his part, and said he
would not do it unless Congress di.
rected 1t to be done. This week
"COusin Osborne" has been person
ally canvassing Senators and Re.
presentatives to get their support
for what would be practically max
ing him present of something like
$4,000 year. He hasn't received
much encouragement.
Whether the administration will
make any use of the decision OF
the U. S. Supreme Court sustaining
the Sherman antitrust law and in
Guiding railway pools and agree
ments within its scope, is ques-
tion that many men in Congress are
much interested in. 1t was main
taineI by Mr.. Cleveland's two At
torney Generals-Olney and Har-
mon-that nothing could be done
under the Sherman law because OF
the decisions of courts against its
validity. Now that the highest
court has reversed those decisions
and declared the law valid, there
is an opportunity for this admins
tration to clear itself of the charge
of being too friendly to the trusts,
by vigorously prosecuting them, If
it isn't afraid to do so.
The civil service law which
stands between the republicans
and the Offices, was very viciously
attacked by Senator Gallinger and
others in the debate which preced-
ed the adoption without dissent
ing vote of Senator Aliens resoiu-
tion for an investigation of the
methods pursued by the Civil Ser
vice Commission, and the end is
not yet. Senator German was the
only democrat who took part in
the debate and he merely took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to good
naturedly nag the republicans a
little about their anxiety to get at
the offices. If it comes to a direct
vote on the repeal of the present
civil service law, there are plenty
of democrats who will vote "aye,"
although they know that it would
mean the replacing of every demo-
crat in Federal Office by repub-
lican. A bill to repeal has been in
troduced.

Trusts have no politics. They
pretend to be Democratic when the
Democrats are in power and Re-
publican when the Republicans
are in control. They seek favors
from each party, and yet they are
not likely to get any from the party
now in office. The Republicans are
pledged to attack the trusts, and
they are in the habit of fulfilling
their promises.

Washington Letter.

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGToN, MARCH Goth, 1897.
The Mckinley tariff bill number
two got some very hard knocks in
the House this week, and the out
side pressure was so heavy that
Mr.. Dingley was compelled to an
nounce that the Ways and Means
committee had decided to strike
out that clause of the bill placing a
duty on books and scientific in
struments for educational institu.
tiOns and add an anne pdment put
ting those articles on the free list,
as they are at present. The demo-
Gratis of the House made the most
of the almost numberless unjust
and uncalled for determinations
made by the bill in favor Of the few
againse the many, but the speech
made by Representative McMillin
naturally received the mosC atten-
tion, both from the opponents and
friends of the bill, because of his
position as the ranking democrat
of the Ways and Means committee,
and because On account of his long
experience in tariff matters he had
been requested by Representative
Bailey to make the leading speech
against the bill. In replying to Re-
preventative Dingley's statement
that the increased burden of taxa
ton imposed by the bill was on
luXuries, Mr.. McMillin said: "The
claim that the increased burden is
on luXuries is not sustained by the
facts. Are coarse shawls and knit
goods luXuries? Are wool hats
and overcoats luXuries? Are
knives and forks in this urbane
age luXuries? And l beg with all
Difference to ask whether in the
State of Main a clean shirt has be-
come such rarity that it is classed
with the luXuries? l ask him
when, among Americans, the sugar
tlat sweetens tea and coffee became
a luXury-when trace chains be-
came luxury to farmers? Sir,
not only is the bill itself higher,
but the different schedules average
above those of the Mckinley bill"
Mr.. McMillin also called attention
to the fact that foreign govern
ments are already preparing to re-
sist this new assault upon com
merce. He also reminded the
republicans that purchas-
ed verdict, such as they OBJ
tanned last November, would not
be allowed to stand.
Senators and Representatives
have had an excellent opportunity
to observe the sublime cheek and
impudence of the individual who
bobbed up in the late campaign as
"Cousin Osborne" and who has Sc
cured the position of Consul Gen
dral to Londcn, one of the best pay
ing positions at the disposal of his
cousin, Mr.. Mckinley. 1t seems
that in seeking and obtaining this
position "Cousin Osborne" had
overlooked an order of Secretary
Clney, issued last October, regula-
ting consular fees, which has re-
suited in reducing the income of
Consul General to London from
100000 to $4,000 a year to about
$4,000. When "Cousin Osborne"
found this out he was indignant,
although there are people who say
that the reduced income of the Of
fee is about six or seven times as
much as he has ever been able to
earn in private life. Be that as it
may, "Cousin Osborne" applied to
Mr.. Mckinley to have that order

CHAPTER w.
THE DEsoLATED HOME.

ca HE beginning of this chapter
WDfnds the compiler of this re-
markable romance in q quand-
ary. At the close of the last chapter
the statement is made that the home
of the Maywoods was still there. Now
IL that were true there would be no
excuse fer inflicting any more of this
story upon suffering public. With
the house standing intact and no ca
davers lying about the premises, the
compiler would simply have to throw
up his hand and leave the literary
field with the brand of Humbug up
on his pure young brow. But the
ompiler is not that kind of q hair
pin. The plot of this story is not to
be lost on occount of n little incon-
sistency like that. Carp is strictly
and wholly to blame for this emerg-
ency. He wanted to be original and
not follow the plot of Emerson Ben
nett, so he insisted that it would not
interfere with the story to let the
house stand, but would be a sort of
declaration of independence, as it
were, and would give the story a de-
gree of originality that would add
materially to it's interest. In order
to prove the correctness of his posi-
tion, he offered to make an argu-
ment in support of his proposition,
In doggeral. To escape that calami-
ty and to save agenerous public from
unnecessary torture, the compiler
capitulated and allowed the house to
stand. But this compromise was
only reached after considerable dis
cussion. The compiler offered every
argument and inducement, without
avail. He even offered to play a
game Of seven-up, or cribbage of any
little simple game of cards to decide
the vexed question. But Carp can't
play cards and as it became ques-
tion of house or doggeral, the COM
piler accepted tho lesser evil. But
all the same thore was no house there.
If there had been, there would have
been no occasion for the duck fit our
hero took when he realized that the
house had gone up in smoke and no
insurance on it. incidentally. of
course he thought of his darling Rose
and possibly he had a modest fear
that the balance Of his family con-
nections had cotton the worst of it.
But the insurance matter and Rose
absorbed most Of his thoughts, as he
fell fainting into the arms of his
brave and somewhat 'odorous" ad-
visedly. We remember how General
Seth Weldy smelled when he return
ed from his indian campaign on the
Pacific slope and we have caught
the faint sweet odor of the skin over
coat that DR.. Brown of Carroll wears
when he makes his professional Wis
its in midwinter, in the country.
Lewis Wetzel was an indian hunter
like General Weldy, though, of course
not as successful, and. he wore skin
overcoat like the one DIR. Brown
wears, possibly the same one.
The sight that met the gaze OF AL
bert and Lewis as they looked down
at the place where the once happy
home of the Maywood's had been,
was truly sad one. The house was
utterly ruined and the barn was in
such state that 1t would not have
held four dollar mortgage. Upon
