He came at last He stopped to hang
up his hat and great-coat in the hall
then came briskly toward the draw
ing-room.
Kitty! All In the dark" he ex-
claimed, as he opened the door. He
came across the room, bent down and
kissed me, then stood before the fire,
holding out his hands to warm them.
John" | said in my coolest, most
steady tone, determined to speak quite
carelessly, there is letter for you
from Madame Arnaud. Here 1t u.s."
He took 1t eagerly. / opened a book
and pretended to be deeply absorbed
in 1t. John carried his letter across
the room toward the lamp.
He read 1t without making any COM
ment. l heard him turn to the first
page to read 1t through again; he
stood still for many minutes, the letter
in his hand, and seemed to be lost In
thought. The dinner-bell rang while
he was standing there. put down my
book and rose slowly from my seat.
Then John sighed, folded his letter,
and came towards me.
"Kitty, l am going out" he said.
I did not reply for moment; my
heart felt dead within me. could not
even feel angry; was too heart-sck
with misery, with helpless, hopeless,
aching regret.
ITO Madame Arnaud's?" l asked.
And the question was asked in the
most level tone, without passion, al.
most without interest in the answer.
Eyes, am sorry to leave you again,
Kitty"
But, although he spoke in his habit
ually gentle way, he spoke abstract
eddy.
Don't trouble" l said, coldly, II
do not mind"
Have dinner, Kitty. Then go round
and see the girls"
"oh, yes-that is a most exciting
plant"
80 exciting that you are almost
glad to get rid Of me?"
I smiled hard. mlrthless little
smile.

"I'm awfully sorry" l said; "but
that's the principle and code of honor
in the Jones family. You can't pick
out the best and leave Mamma Jones
saddled for life with the plain ones"
Bailey Junior was silent. and tried
my best to think OF some plan to help
him out Of his difficulty. 1t was of no
use to suggest asking Baby Jones to
spend the day with me and letting Bal
ley Junior meet her here, for the Jones
girls never went about singly; they
hadn't enough friends to go all around,
so that II you asked one to tea two

voted family.

Junior answered, 80 arched and slen-

"Oh, no one does" said; "she was
put into long skirts before she left the

play lawn tennis"
Bailey Juniors furlough was up and
he went back to India without having
proposed to Baby Jones. l met her
six weeks latec, and sh, told me she
had had a letter from him asking her
to marry him. She seemed much as
tonished that he should want to marry
her and not her eldest sister. The

From Wngto Stones,

It may not be generally known that
the by-products Of fruit stones are Of
considerable value, The pits OF
peaches, aprlcots, nectarnes, plums.
and prunes, which have heretofore
been thrown away or used for fuel,
have a market value, This is specially
true Of the peach and apricot pits.
There is now a strong demand for
them at IS to $40 ton, delivered in
San Francisco. The kernel is Of course
what is sought. From the kernel OF
the apricot Turkish nut candy" is
made which has almost displaced the
almond. The same substance Is used
for the adulteration Of cinnamon, ALL
spice and nutmeg. Prussic acid and
essence and oil Of almonds are made
from the peach and prune pits and
these flavors are used in many ways.
The pits are cracked in San Francisco
and the kernels are then sent east.

CHAPTER XII.


Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine
o'clock struck, The fire. had burnt
lower, and at last had gone out; the
room had grown cold, Still | sat In
the same attitude-my head bowed
down upon my hands--and tried Ia
think calmly Of the future that lay be-
fore me-trled and failed. ! was so
young!-I had 30 many years to live!
that thought was too pitiful; 1t made
me cry anew And as long as live,
Johns life must be bondage; he had
married me for kindness sake. but
perhaps he had never realized before
hand how little | should have in COM
mon with him, how young l was, how
foolish, how dull the constant COM
panionship Of girl Of seventeen must
be, And again my tears flowed fast
for Johns sorrow or for the pathos OF
my own part therein.
was numb with cold, da2ed with
weeping, when at last rose from the
floor. Suppose John should return at
this moment and find me in tears! In
sudden fear Of his return, ran up
stairs to my room, took my hat and
cloak and went out of doors into the
cold gray October night.
There were few people about, In the
park the paths were deserted. II l had
been less unhappy, should have been
frightened at the loneliness; ! was too
wretched to feel fear or to care about
the cold.
The clouds parted little; the moon
came out and shone down between the
trees upon the ripping water; the
water sparkled coldly, the bare
branches looked ghostly in the pale
silvery light, Then the clouds gath
cred again and the moon was hidden,
sat down on a seat beside the path
way, with my fur cloak drawn closely
about me; and my tears fell fast again
beneath my veil. Footsteps came
slowly up the lonely path. Two figures
were advancing in the darkness; l
saw them dimly outlined, but did not
heed them, l only awoke to any in
terest in them when my ear detected
woman's choking sob.
II cannot bear it," said a voice--a
woman's voice, tremulous, broken.
1T is too hard-I cannot bear 1t! For
ten years l have hoped for the best |
have borne everything; / have looked
forward to brighter times, never al
lowed myself to despair. And now
now-the ten years are over, and
things are as they were ten years ago.
But then | had courage! Now have
no courage. / look forward to the
future and see no comfort-none-
none!"
The voice was so broken, so fearful,
that 1t scarcely struck me as familiar.
The man and woman slowly advanced,
slowly passed; then, all at once
through the parting clouds, the moon
shone out again-shone across the re-
treating figures, and | recognized John
and lIadame Arnaud.

Cost OF Moving TrnIna.


The rates charged for transportation
Of passengers by rail are being Crlti-
cised and questioned In many quar-
tiers Of the country. This has been
stimulated by the fact that the govern
ment roads Of Austria Hungary In 1889
reduced rates OF fare from one-half to
one-slxth, and yet the traffic 80 greatly
increased that the gain In receipts was
over 100000 in two years. Prof,
Parsons cites the cases of many east
ern railroads that sell season tickets
at little more than half cent a mile,
and declares that they would not no
SO II 1t was not fact that that sum
more than covered the cost OF transport
tation He says that some companies,
which he names,sell Communication tick
cts at seven-tenths Of cent mile,
and admit profit Of so per cent In the
business. Prof. Parsons estimates that
the average cost Of moving a passen-
ger train Is 80 cents mile, or about
IA cents a car, as Is shown by the rail-
way reports. "A moderate train OF
ordinary coaches will carry 400 or GOO
persons, so that with well-flled trains
the cost Is not more than one-fifth OF
a cent a passenger a mile. All the
expenses of railway traffic are taken
into account in figuring the elghty-cent
cost per train mile" Under govern
ment ownership he claims that these
expenses will be reduced at least a
third, the cost per train mile will fall
to go cents, and the cost Of carrying a
passenger one mile In a full train will
be is Of cent"

IN HONOR OF MR.. GAMBLE.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Cory entertained
a small party of friends Wednesday
evening, after the recital. A number
of our local musical talent contributed
to the program, among others Mr..
Frank Whitlock and Mr.. Schonert
complimented him by telling him his
voice was equal to Mr.. Gamble before
he studied music. We clip from the
Examiner:
When the time arrived to say good
bye Mr.. Gamble told Frank he hoped
to again have the pleasure of hearing
him sing and advised him to take the
best of care of his truly remarkable
voice. ''Do not smoke, chew, drink or
swear" said the artist, abstinence
from all these vices is necessary to the
preservation of the voice."

PRESBYTERIAN RECEPTION
In Honor of The Pastor and His
Wife.

Wednesday evening, April 26, re-
ception will be held in the lecture
room, of the First Presbyterian church
in honor of the pastor, Rev. Geo. E.
Davies and his wife, and it is hoped as
far as possible that every member of
the church and congregation will at
tend some time between 1880 and $50
p. m.
The committee who will receive with
Mr.. and Mrs. Davies are as follows:
DIR. and Mrs. Kalb, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Q.
A. Campbell, Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. West,
Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Keller and Mr..
and Mrs. G. w. Bartholomew. 1t is
hoped as far as possible, that children
will be allowed to remain at home, on
this one occasion. Parents will realize
this kindness to the children, as well
as the comfort to older folks, because
of lack of accommodations in regard to
space.

A LIEUTENANT
And Fourteen Men Captured by the
FiliplnOs.

Admiral Dewey cables to the Govern
ment at Washington that 1t. Gilmore
and fourteen men belonging to the
Yorktown, had been captured near Ba-
ler, on the Eastern coast of the island
of LuzOn.
The Yorktown had been sent to res
cue the Spanish garrison that had boen
besieged since the war, by the Filipi-
nos.
The following gives the latest advices
as to the affair:
Manila, April 19, 4:3O p. m.-Admiral
Dewey has been notified of the strange
of Lieutenant J. G. Gil
more and fourteen members of the
crew of the United States gunboat
Yorktown. On Saturday last, the York
town anchored off Baler, on the east
coast of the island of Luzon, and about
two hundred miles from here, where
there was Spanish garrison of about
fifty men, which had been defending it
self against several hundred Filipinos
for months past.
Lieutenant Gilmore, Ensign w. H.
Standley, and boats crew were sent
up the river from Baler Bay to COM
municate with the Spaniards, the town
of Baler being situated some distance
inland. Ensign Standley, who landed
at the mouth of the river, reports that
he heard three volleys, bugle call,
and cheers from up the river, but that
the automatic gun which was part OF
the equipment of the boat was not
heard firing. Standley later padded to
the Yorktown in canoe. A search was
made for the Yorktown's boat and her
crew, but no trace of them was found,
and the Yorktown sailed for IloilO,
from which place her commander ca
bled to Admiral Dewey his theories
that the Filipinos had captured or sunk
the boat, or that the Spaniards
had rescued the American party.
A scouting party of American troops
today found a rebel skirmish line more
than a mile long east of Malalos. A
sharp fusilade followed, but no losses
were sustained.
Brigadier General Chas. King, whit
has been taken suddenly i'll and who il
unable to continue in command of hi
brigade, has been relieved of furthel
duty and has been ordered to return t,
the United States on the first transpor
sailing from here for home.

THREE DEATHS
From Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis.


Fred Fishbaugh, of West Liberty,
died yesterday of cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts, aged II years, making the third
death within one week, of that terrible
disease.
Last Sabbath, the remains by Miss
Mary Fishbaugh, sister to Fred, were
laid away in their beautiful cemetery,
and now in less than one week the
body of her brother who was her
special care will lie by her side. There
are no other known cases in West
Liberty, but great care should be
taken, and no one should risk their
lives unnecessarily. 1t is not gener-
ally considered a contagious disease,
but it certainly is infectious.

range, this American singer is unsur-
passed. His program is fine one, and
the one regret of his hearers was that
he was not greeted with a crowded
house. Mr.. Gamble is accompanied by
Mr.. Shonert pianist, who is as talen-
ed an instrumentalist as Mr.. Gamble is
