Jasper, Mo-, Dec. 10. Three pistol
shots were heard yesterday in the
house of William Lowenstein, a wealthy
farmer who lived three miles from
here. When the house was entered by
son of Lowenstein and man en-
ployed on the farm, they found Lowen-
stein and his wife dying, both having
been shot through the head. The
woman's clothing was torn, and her
hands were bruised and broken. The
supposition is that Lowensteip killed
his wife, after quarrel, and COM
mitted suicide,

A cHRIsrrAs GIFT.


Full hard it is to choose gift
That's worthy OF my Lady's grace;
Nv tickle fancy doth but shift
From gold to gems, from silk to lace
I've toiled and hunted up and down.
And viewed the work of ev'ry cline,
And 10. there's Datght i'll all the town
TO send my Fair ut Christmas time.
All Jewels CLEAN but pale beside
The radiant eyes of her love.
The charms that nature doth provide
What silk or satin can improve?
What shall send? BY Love. know
I'll think no more of gold nor pelf,
OF Jewels nor OF gems, but 20
And humbly offer her-niyselfl

CHAPTER VII.


The next morning we saw man on
horseback pull up before the dining
hut. 1t was my old friend Walworth,
covered with dust and showing all the
signs of having ridden in great haste.
On seeing Allie he dismounted and re-
moved his helmet, waiting respectfully
for her to speak.
Have you bad news, Mr.. Wal
worth" she said. "that you come in
such haste?"
Il have letter for your considera-
ton that is OF the utmost Importance,
he answered. 1.-The junk arrived with
it this morning"
must here explain that communion
tions from the outside world were CON
veyed by we'll chosen messengers once
every month to u certain spot in the
group of islands about two degrees west
of the settlement. Thence they were
brought on to their destination by a
swift sailing junk, the property of the
Beautiful White Devil, which had al
ready conveyed aud handed over the
outward mail in exchange. Thus reg
ular service was kept up, to the advan-
tage of both parties.
Taking the letter from Walworth's
hand, she gave him an invitation to
breakfast and then passed with it into
her own hut. took him to mine and
when the gong sounded for the meal we
sought the dining saloon together. A
moment later Allie Joined us, and l
gathered from her face that there was
something serious afoot. Until the meal
was finished, however, she said nothing.
Then. suggesting that we should bring
our cigars outside so as to be away from
any possible eavesdroppers, she intimat-
ed that she had something important to
tell us. We accordingly rose and fol
lowed her into the open air, across the
plateau to the glade in the jungle where
l had told her of my love the previous
day. Throughout the walk she did not
speak, and when she turned and babe
us be seated her face was as hard set as

Her penitence sat 80 prettily upon her

"You are content to abide by that?"
"Since you wish it am more than

flowing with happiness.

II has been said that war is the most
costly luxury in which a nation can
indulge. This is in great degree
true and in that sentence is contained
the gist OF the fact on which success
in modern warfare depends. Every
thing being equal the nation that is
best equipped financially will unques-
tionably triumph. Disparity in this
regard is certain to give advantage to
the nation OF greatest treasury re-
sources Between the United States
and Spain there is greater variance
than between this country and almost
any other land that claims even semi
respectability in the family of nations.
The valuation OF all the real and per
sonal property in the United States in
1850 was S43, 3,G42 900, 900, and in 1890 it
was sos, ,037 ,O9l, 1877, showing an in
crease Of sci 1895, ,O9i.1o7 in a decade.
The United States stands at the head
OF all nations in wealth per capita,
and at the foot in debt per capita.
Between 1850 and 1890 the population
Of this country doubled, and in the
same time its wealth trebled. Michael
Mulhall, the famous English statisti.
clan, appreciated the significance of
these facts when, in 1892, in his re-
markable book called "The Balance
Sheet Of the World" he said: at
would be impossible to find in history
a parallel to the progress Of the United
States in the past ten years. Every
day that the sun rises upon the Ameri
can people it sees the addition of S2,
500, 900 TO the accumulation of wealth
In the republic, which is one-third o.
the daily accumulation of all man
kind outside OF the United States.
IN 1890, when the aggregate wealth o.
the United States amounted to sos,
O37, ,001 1877, the debt of all kinds wa'
S957, SIC, 900, and the debt per capitI
s32. 81. The wealth of Great Britain
at the same time amounted 10 S43, 600,
600 900, the debt was S5,605, 900, 900
and the debt per capita was Ss7.79
The wealth OF Spain was 1000,
900, the debt S1,lOG, $780, 900, and tn
debt per capita s7l.s7. 1t thus ap
pears that in 1890 the wealth of tn
United States was more than sevei
and half times that Of Spain, and tn
debt nearly sl50,0OO,O0O less. Since
that time Spain has increased he
debt, owing largely to the cost Of tn
I campaign in Cuba; and she is toda
, bankrupt, while the United States
prosperous.
