AS Lorin marshaled his squad be-
fore the cottage he saw that the big
lamp in the front room was lighted.
The curtains were down, but on them
was thrown a gaunt shadow which ap-
pearsd and disappeared with clock
like regularity.
That's her, whispered Lorn.
"She's waitiu for me. Now for it
Gritty stopped her tigerlike pacing
and stood still in the middle Of the
room as he entered the front hall and
resolutely shut the door behind him.
Rage and lack of teeth changed her
greeting into something which sound

As a soldier Lorin Hankley had
learned obedience as a husband he
had taken an advanced course.
So he slowly folded the blue coat
stumped over to the closet and hung il
on the hook. He put the belt and
helmet over it and shut the door
Then he stumped to the chair beside
the bed and began to unstrap the wood
en- peg which took the place of the
lower half of his right leg.
For a full half hour no word was
exchanged. Not until after the lamp
had been blown out was the discussion
resumed.

range, but how about tonight p
Evidently Neighbor Green was
thinking of the many deeds of valor
and violence which had won for Mrs.
Hankley her nickname.
"Wait and see, replied Lo.
NO, thanks, replied Green.
How furious was the wrath OF Grit
ty Hankley during that long spring
day no one will ever know. On the
little white cottage the May sunshine
fell peacefully. The warm breath Of
the coming June stirred gently the
new leaves on the wistara, and the
pink peonies by the door courtesied to
each other stately and serene. 1t was
calm exterior, but what heights were
reached by the gale of passion which
ragged within we can only guess.
With characteristic Indifference to
the storm which he had raised Lorin
Hankley proceeded to enjoy his day of
liberty, Refusing a seat in the open
carriages provided for crippled veter-
ans. he stumped along bravely in the
ranks, falling into the swing of the
march and feeling the old time thrill
as he kept step to the old time tunes.
With his wooden peg he beat out the

Foul l-Sne11ing
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases. and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it, Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood
Mr. B. p. McAllister, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes !:

though was constantly treaied with sprnys

was very harmonious, the only contest
being for the nomination of Governor
and only one ballot being taken on
that.
Interesting features are noted In the
admission of Senator Hill that he was
beaten and his surrender before the
meeting of the convention and in the
defeat of the Chicago platform adher-
ents and the possibility that third
ticket may be named.
The platform adopted congratulates
the country upon the successful ter
minatfon of the war undertaken-not
for conquest or aggrandizement-but
in the interest of humanity, liberty and
civilization. and glories in the patriotic
devotion and valor of our brave SOL
dietrs and sailors who have honored
the American people and heightened
the lustre of our national fame.
1t deplores the "scandalous abuse by
the President of his power of appoint
ment in scattering army commissions
among inexperienced and incompetent
civilians as rewards to personal favor
ties and almost to the exclusion of ex-
perienced officers in the service which
is largely accountable for the fearful
sufferings and the appalling loss of life
among the gallant soldiers that have
brought disgrace upon the administra-
ton and sense of shame to the ma
tion." and declares that a Democratic
Congress will, If chosen by the people,
'rigidly investigate the conduct of the
war. and expose and punish all who
may be responsible for the unnecessary
deaths, privations, sufferings and neg
lect of the soldiers, which have shocked
the nation and abated the national re-
joicing over the triumphs of our
army"
The Chicago platform Democrats
who in conference. last night, adopted
resolutions empowering and instructing
the committee on organization to place
in nomination a full ticket by petition.
should the convention, today, fail to
affirm the Chicago platform, had an
other meeting, today, after the results
of the regular committee on resolutions
report became known. Under the in
stuctions Of the conference, which re-
quires that full ticket be nominated
within 4S hours, the committee on or
ganization will meet at the Union
Square hotel, New York. tomorrow
night, and select a candidate for each
place upon the state ticket.
Ex-senator David B. Hill gave out a
statement, tonight, in which he says
that while he originally doubted the
wisdom of taking a candidate from
Greater New York, and personally
should have preferred that some one
of the excellent gentlemen whose
names were prominently mentioned,
residing in the country portion Of the
state, should have received the NOM
nation. he should. however, give the
entire ticket his whole support.

BANK CONSOLIDATION.
Twelve Boston Banks to Be Merged into One
With Immense Capital.

Boston. Sept. 29.-The Herald, this
afternoon, says: Consolidation of 10 or
II of Boston's National banks is as
good as assured. A circular has been
issued to the savings banks, who puac-
tically own controlling interest in
these banks, naming price which will
be paid for their holdings. The inten-
ton is to liquidate these banks and
organize a new national bank with a
capital Of $3.O0O.O00 or 5000, OOO The
largest capitalization of any Boston
bank at the present time Is $4,000. 900,
and that the Merchants.
The banks named are Boston. Column
bran. Eagle, Harvard, Market. North,
North American, Globe, Lincoln and
Massachusetts. Messrs. ]. p. Morgan
& Co. of New York. are said to be be-
hind the movement and are aided by
Price. Mccormack & Co. of that city,
and Kidder, Peabody & Co. and II. l..
Day & Co. of this city.
The plan is in keeping with the sug-
gestion made by the savings bank com
missioner some time ago. In eIhe mean
time the City Of Everett Banks have
hqufdated and a controlling interest
has bought the Continental National
with THE purpose in view. The Ire
mont and Revere Banks also reduced
their capitalization while ago in fur
therance OF this scheme.

The Races.

Since the improvements upon the
track the races could not be anything
but fast and those of Thursday were as
exciting and fast as anyone could de-
sire. They were all close and in sew
eral cases the finishes were as close
ard exciting as are often seen.
In the fourth heat of THE ESQ class
Tribune went off his feet on the back
stretch and was rear horse before he
was steadied down. On the turn of the
back stretch of the second heat he was
several lengths behind Don, the lead
ing horse. but he gained on him until
az the turn into the home stretch he
passed him and at the Wire was half
length ahead. The judges however set
him back for breaking. HoIsemen on
The track said it was The prettiest fin
ish they had ever seen.
There was just very little trouble
with scoring, the starter, G. w. Butler
of Union. keeping the drivers well in
hand and by his fairness winning the
admiration OF the crowd and the driv-
eIs. The horses got away in all the
races well punched and kept very well
together.
The crowd would not keep off the
track. especially after the 2.37 race was
finished and it was wonderful that
there were no accidents. There were
many narrow escapes but the drivers
were able to pull up In every case be-
fore the people were struck.
