CHAPTER XIV.

One day when the world lay white and
cold in its snow covering, a letter came
from America for Peter LennoX-a letter
that seemed to drive him almost mad. AS
he read it, the sternness of his face seeTn-
ed to break up and die away ia a CLEAN
of light-wonder, surprise, joy, incredull-
ty, one after the other appeared to pos
sess him.
81 cannot believe it." he cried; ST cannot
credit it. Dear heaven! if the lost years
could but be given back to me-if could
but have my life over again.
He read and re-read the letter, and
then he laid it down on the table and
clasped his hands-his dim eyes filed with
tears, his lips quivered.
1T is so late, so late" he sobbed; "but
I thank heaven for it, living or dead!'
He could not calm himself. He went
out into the frost-bound woods, still car
rying the letter with him, and re-read it.
He returned home again and sat by the
fire in his library, and then read the letter
once more And when he went to rest at
night he turned up the lamp that he might
see to read the missive again.
He had seemed strange and half bewll-
dered before, he was still stranger now.
The servants in the house declared that
he did not know what he was doing. lie
had answered the letter at once; and be-.
fore long another came, but he rose from
the perusal Of that with a blank, white
face, for it said that the trace of that
which he was seeking was quite lost after
certain date, and the detective sent out
to make inquiries did not think it was
worth while remaining any longer. AS
he read that, Peter Lennox's face sudden
ly seemed to grow older, a gray, haggard
look came into it, and he knelt down and
buried it in his hands.
II am miserable sinner" he said, land
my sin has found me out. l am justly
punished"
After that he grew respondent. He sent
for his lawyer, and they had long confer
ences together; but nothing came Of them,
and Peter LennoX grew more miserable
every day.
In the meantime Beltran Carew had
won great lawsuit, and his name was
everywhere mentioned with honor and
respect; his fame was established. A
few months more of patient waiting, he
wrote to Beatrix, and he should be able to
provide the home that he had longed for
only few more months. Beatrix read
the letter to her mother, whose pale face
frightened as she listened.
II am very pleased for your sake,
Trixie," she said ut seemed cruel to
think that with all your beauty and grace
the best years Of your life should be spent
in the solitude of Strathnarn."

SECTION 22 IS KILLED.
Attorney General McKenna Holds 1t
to Be Imperative.

The long opinion of the attorney gen
eral upon the operation of section ~ or
the tariff law was made public Tuesday
after being considered for second time
nv the President and his cabinet, and
after Senator Elkins Of West Virginia
and Mr.. Richard G. Kerens Of St Louis
had made most determined but futile
effort to persuade the President and the
attorney general to accept their construc-
ton of the Law.
The attorney general CONSTITUTES the sec
ton as not imposing discriminating duty
upon foreign merchandise imported IN
bond through contiguous countries, ana
holds that section 1913 of the revised
statutes has not been repealed. mere
fore, goods purchased abroad and I'M
ported in bond by way Of Canada or com
ing to ports Of the United States In Brit
ish bottoms will not be subject to dis
eliminating duty of 10 per cent.
The opinion is disappointment to some
owners of American merchant vessels and
To those interested in the transcontin-
entail railroads Of the United States.
There is no doubt that it was the inten-
ton of the trainers of section ~ as 1t be-
came a law to discriminate against the
Canadian railroads and foreign SHIPS.
Senator Elkins, who claims to be partly
responsible for the added words which
called forth the opinion, admits as much,
and exerted his influence to the utmost
to convince the President and the attor-
ney general that such was the intention
of Congress.
The methods adopted by the advocates
of the discriminating duties are said to be
in a way responsible for their failure.
Fearing to make their object too plain
while the tariff bill was under discussion
they framed clause which they believed
would have the desired effect and then
had it inserted in the section while the
measure was in conference.
Senator Elkins has for some time ad-
vocated a bill to impose discriminating
duty upon merchandise imported in YES
sells Of foreign register, his object being
to encourage and build up the American
merchant marine. Realizing that such
measure could not be passed at the last
session he endeavored to accomplish his
object by having the substance Of his
bill Incorporated in section p.

Measure.
The treaty Of annexation with the

in extraordinary session. There was hit

There was never any difference Of opin-
ion as to what the Senate would do. This
body was elected after the revolution
with the one idea of working for the m

States. From the time in 1898. when the
queen was dethroned, there has been no
subject on which there was more unanim-
ity and there has been nobody with more
OF the feeling than the Senate.
The meeting at which the ratification
OF the treaty took place was the most

communicated through the mail. 1t is
related that a person in Mobile received
letter from a friend in Ocean Springs.
The letter was written in room where
yellow fever patient was in bed, and
the person who received the letter was at
tackled by the fever. All these facts are
not authenticated, but their publica ton
widens the dismay and tends to make the
people believe that the yellow fever town
should be treated as the outcasts of the
world.
According to the statements Of ply
stefan who had experience in the plague
Of 1873, when from ninety to 100 persons
died every day for months, the fever is in
itself not nearly so dangerous as the panic
which accompanies it. II the people
would not become overcome by fear more
of them would be saved. He says that
probably 10 per cent. of all those who
have the disease are likely to succumb
to the fever itself, but when the plague
is accompanied with excitement and panic
the death rate runs up to 80 or 40 per
cent. of all those who show the symptoms
at all.
When people have become Injured to the
scenes Of the disease and death and can
look upon them without a feeling of panic
or unusual excitement, the greater part of
the danger passes away, and so it is that
after any community has experienced dis
ease for a short time the ravages are
abated. If, when the first symptoms ap-
pear, the patient is given hot foot bath
and strong dose of castor oil and put
to bed where he can sweat out the poison,
the great chances are that he will recover
within short time. The disease is at it's
height nine days after the first symptoms
appear.
The presence of yellow jack in New Or
leans and the consequent quarantine is
killing the business of that city now.
This is just the season of the whole year
when the shipping trade is at it's height
and the precautions of the health depart
ment will be crushing blow to the inter
ests of the merchants.

The Illinois State convention of the

which is said to be satisfactory to all
coal miners in the State. The scale is
based on the Pittsburg settlement scale
ana Is about g per cent. below the scale
adopted by the convention held in August
A resolution was adopted by the con-
ventlon which gives all miners the author
lty to return to work as soon as the oper-
ators agree to pay the scale. This resolu-
ton also provides that all miners who re-
turn to work at the scale price shall con-
tribute ~ per cent. of their wages to the
miners not working. Another resolution
was adopted which censured the position
the operators of the State had taken in
not meeting with the miners to effect
settlement Of the strike in Illinois.

SAWDUST AS MERCHANDISE.

Comm odity Not Commonly Regarded
as of Much Account.
Sawdust as an article of merchandise
is not calculated to excite the CONNER
cial cupidity Of ambitious merchants,
commodity ITSELF it affords distinctive
branch Of trade and ranks as thriving
though limited offshoot of the larger in
dustries. In this city there are per-
haps half a dozen dealers in sawdust,
and they have as much as they can do
all the year round to supply the de-
mand.
These dealers obtain their supply
mainly from the lumber mills and
packing box manufacturers of the city,
but as these sources are not always suf-
ficient they import quite a quantity of
sawdust from the Southern lumber
mills, one firm alone getting as much
as three carloads a month in this city.
Sawdust reaches the consumer in
bags, which contain three bushels and
weigh forty-five to fifty pounds each.
The dealers wagon goes over regu-
lar route every day, serving it's regular
customers, and at the end Of the week
collecting the empty bags. The largest
users of sawdust are the cold storage
warehouses, each Of which will take
from fifty to sixty bags per week, and
the large meat houses, which use from
fifteen to twenty-five bags a week. Next
in order as consumers come hotels, dry
goods stores, Office buildings, butchers,
and grocery stores, fish and oyster mar
kets, ice houses and saloons.
Ordinarily, there are two grades Of
sawdust, fine and@coarse. The former
is mostly used for smoking meats, such
as hams, shoulders and dried beef, and
is obtained from walnut, briar root, cot
tonwood, red cedar, oak, hickory and
pine. The coarse grade comes from
white and yellow pine and poplar, and
is used for cleaning purposes and pack
ing.
Sawdust is sold at retail from Is to
20 cents per bag, according to weight,
and the price is the same for all kinds
except one. The exception is lockwood
sawdust, which is very hard to get, and
brings as high as $3.50 bag, when Sc
lected for packing purposes by jewel
ers.
Common sawdust is used for packing
some kinds Of bottle goods, such as
ink, cologne, pickles, shoe backing, BIZ
cycle cements and oils. 1t is used for
packing eggs and also for some pol
ishing purposes, but the chief use Of
large quantities Of this material is in
sweeping floors. Great quantities are
thus utilized, and much is also spread
upon floors, where it lies for several
days at a time before 1t Is renewed.
Sawdust for sweeping is usually damp
ened little, and it is not unusual to
clean carpets in this way. Hotels and
large department stores use great guam
titles for such purposes, and expend
perhaps 5000 year on this commodity.
