SONG OF THE MONEY MAKER.

I've smoothed out the hills from the earth
And heaped them in the sea:
And the buffalo plains have riddled with
trains
That they may fetch dollars to me,
have beaded the rivers with towns,
I have followed the mountains with
mines.
And fastened girth around the ends Of
the earth
And the dollars come home to their own.
They know the sound Of his voice;
call my sheep from deep unto deep:
They flock to their fold and rejoice.
For my ships that sail under the world,
And my fire steeds out Of the west,
Come bearing the spoil Of millions toll
And the fruits of a worldwide quest.
I stretch me thousand arms
That reach to a thousand seas,
And they gather me gain from the land and
main
And heap 1t at my knees.
But the man with the Book comes close In
my wake.
His feet with swiftness shod,
And the naked man with his savage clan
Is told of the white mans God.

CHAPTER XVI.-CoNT1NUED.
Hendricks sprang into the hall and
caught the girls arm.
''Where's his room?" he asked, under
his breath.
Second floor back" answered the
girl.
Hendricks turned to the doctor.
<'Quick!" he said. Follow me-"
Mrs. Champney's mind, however, had
acted with the rapidity of lightning.
She ran between Hendricks and the foot
OF the stairs, and with outstretched
arms stood in his way.
What has he done? What are you
going to do with him?" she said. HE
is my brother, and"
Pardon me! I must do it!" and
Hendricks caught her arm, pushed her
back towards the hall door, and signal
ing to DR.. Lampkin, who had deter
mined to be as agile as his friend, sprang
up the stairs. Hendricks was as active
as greyhound, and he was half way up
the flight before the doctor had started.
DR.. Lampkin caught up with him at
the closed door of the back room on the
second floor. He was trying to force it
open with his right hand, while in the
left he held his revolver.
Hang him, he's on to us!" painted the
detective. ''That kid made too much
noise. Get out your gun, and come
against the door with me. Quick! we
nust smash it. The lock is strong"
They struck the door simultaneously.
1t did not yield at first, and the house
shook, and resounded with the hollow
noise. There was startled cry from
below. a woman's voice, and then steps
ON the stairs.
Quick! come again!" grunted the
detective; and shoulder to shoulder
they struck the door once more. The
fastenings gave way, and they plunged
snto the room, only keeping their feet
by falling against bureau which had
been rolled against the door, and which
now, with its broken mirror, stood in
their way.
The room was empty. An open win

WHAT Is A CORD OF WOOD. ams
Hearing Question involving seve at
Thousand Dollars.

An important hearing was begun yesterday
afternoon in the supreme court room before
Hon. Charles F. Woodward as auditor. Tho
parties to the controversy were Mr.. Ansel Dud-
ley of Bryant's Pond and Mr.Samuel D. Warren.
Mortimer B. Mason and George W. Hammond,
co partners under the style of Forest Paper
company, doing business at Yarmouth. Ths
question Involves the settlement OF accounts
for pulp wood furnished the defendant COM
pany from the year 1879 to Janu ry 1897.
From the opening statement OF the plaintiffs
counsel it appears that the total amount OF
wood claimed to have been furnished during
that period aggregated 1851, 8.23. upon which
payments are credited to the amount of S762.-
32o.OG. thus leaving a balance of S62,69S II
claimed to be due.
1t is claimed that yedrly contracts were made.
originally between the plaintiff and S. d. War
rem Co. and later with the Forest Paper coin-
pany, composed of Mr. Warren, Mr.. Mason and
Mr.. Hammond. AT the decease of Mr.. Sam-ei
d. Warren. Sr., in 1882 hIr. Samuel ID. War
rem, Jr., succeeded him in the Forest Paper
company. Contracts for wood were made be~
tween the plaintiffs fnom year 10 year sons-
times overlapping the delivery under the corr
tract for another year, so that at times wood
would be in the process of delivery under tAo
plaintiff claims that there was shortage In the
measurement of the wood during many IL not
all of these years. and that during this period
the defendants received for cord of wood d
cord and a twelfth of a cord additional That
is, that the measurement of a cord was made g.
feet long, 4 feet wide and feet and inches
high instead of feet long. feet wide and
feet high This the defendants deny. The
question involved is practically to the differ
ence in the scale of the wood, although it is
claimed by the plaintiff that the sum of several
thousand dollars is due him on the last end Of
the accounts aside from the amount claimed for
shortage in measurements.
The case was originally brought in the s1l-
preme court in Oxford county, and was removed
to the circuit court of the United States. The
circuit court appointed Hon. Charles +. Wood
ard as auditor to hear the parties. examine the
vouchers and proofs and state the accounts
and make report TO the courts.
Messrs. Symonds, Stow s. Cook and II. W.
Oakes, Esq. of Auburn, appear for the plain
tiff. and Messrs. Bird s. Bradley and w. E.
Brandeis of Boston, for the defendants. The
hearing will be resumed this morning at the
office of Messrs. Bird & Bradley.
