CHAPTER Nv.
PARTED.

The actual parting between Captain
Conway and Mary was got over more
easily than she had feared. She had
been afraid that Mrs. Hamilton would
be present to the last moment and that
she would inevitably discover at least
something of the true state of affairs
between them. Fortunately. however.
Mrs. Hamilton was dominated by a
keen desire to spare herself any needless
excitement. so that she ensconced her
self in her favorite chair in the draw
ing room window and bade farewell to
her son-in-law in that place.
"Go to the gate to see the last of the
master" she said to the two servants.
"Mrs. Conway is feeling the parting
terribly. and it will be less hard for her
if she has no one to look on.
The two girls were not little skep-
tical as to the depth of their young
mistress woe. but they fell in with
cheerful obedience to the wishes of
"missis' mother" and went off to the
front gate. leaving the husband and
wife to part without onlookers
What actually took place was this:
Captain Conway went into the drawing
room to say goodby to Mrs. Hamilton,
enduring her tears and clinging en-

ness to face cold world in which there
was not so much as the barest provision
for her 1t was terrible situation,
cruel alternative, yet it was the natural
outcome of marriage entered into
without the one great amalgamating
alloy-lovel
But time goes on. Be the need ever
so great, there are no Joshuas nowadays
to bid the sun stand still in the heavens,
and so time fits on with noiseless and
rentless step. The summer faded, au-
tumn drew on, winter was nigh at hand,
and Mary Conway had found no resting
place, no coign of vantage, no protec-
tion against the humiliation that loom
ed before her.
Her last effort was to 60 round the
great dress shops in the west end, but
each one found some fault and would
have none of her. One told her that
want of experience was an insuperable
objection, another that they never took
young ladies into the showrooms with
out handsome premium; third COM
planned that she was not tall enough, a
fourth that she looked delicate, fifth
that she was too shy in manner. So she
went home wearied in mind and body
alike, with one more avenue closed to
her, one more hope gone. And when she,
with word of explanation upon her
lips opened the drawing room door it
was to find her mother lying senseless
upon the floor and in her stiffened fin
gers an evening paper tightly clutched.

We naturally have very exalted

deed some of their descendants would
feel highly elated to know that they in

are not kin to the personages referred to
in the following complaint:
One of our early statesmen actually

ceivable. The gentleman will help him.

better than his, take up your umbrella
with the most absent air imaginable,
bear off your loose coat without once
perceiving his mistake and pick up your
gloves, they so much resemble his ,"
And now for the ladies' part in this
proceeding:
"The lady will borrow your penknife,
very accidentally put your pocket hand
kerchief into her muff or playfully take
your ring from your finger or breastpin
from your bosom, all as innocently as
though it was the very thing you called
upon her for, so that between ladies
and gentlemen you will stand a good
chance of being turned out, stripped Of
all your possessions, according to the
newest rules of etiquette.

made much of. When asked about his
health the captain said:

afraid that the Temerario might make

ment. Our rapid.ire guns were man.

"At Rio we found the Temerario.
I could not afford to take any chances,

Temerario that If he came within q
mile of the Oregon I would open fire
on him without any further notice.

wasn't taking any chances"
"What would you have done in case
you met Cervers's feetp"
"Well, knowing the speed OF the
Oregon as we'll as I did, was going
to run away and let them chase me
then, you see, I could handle them
one at q time, for they were bound, in
giving chase, to get into some sort OF
column formation, and I would practi-
cally only have to fight the nearest
vessel to me. Then, if found that l
had been able to inf1ict sufficient dam

round on them and give them battle"

was doomed when he came out of that
harbor. He Is fine old gentleman,

A SURE ENOUGH MAN.
Andrew Carnegie Solves the Great Problem
OF Life.

Andrew Carnegie Solves tho Great Problem
Greenvile News.
Andrew Carnegie appears to be one
of the most sensible rich men we have
ever heard of. He has enough money
to meet all his possible needs and to
do much good in the world and he has
quit trying to make more money and
will give his attention to doing good
with what he has. The result will
probably be that he will live long, en-
ioy peace and comfort and die lamen-
ted, and will leave q name which will
be long honored and work which will
20 on helping and blessing humanity
when he has been dust many years.
Nearly every poor man believes that
if he could gather enough to live on
he would quit then and there; but
there have been few men morally
strong enough to stop making money.
The rich men are the hardest workers
in the world. They worry more about
money, as a rule, than the poor. Some
times they break themselves down
physically sometimes in the effort to
get more they lose all they have.
There are said TO be about 1000 men
in this country who have a million
dollars or more. Probably $500 of
them are working IL to 20 hours day
trying to add to their fortunes. The
men who have nothing think they
would be satisfied with $50, 900; the
men who have that and who thought
while they had nothing that it would
be vast fortune, feels as poor as ever
and strive for 800, 900; the $lOO,00
fellows Sigh and strain for million
and the millionaires think If they had
so times as much they would be con-
tented and feel rich. Yet Jay Gould,
with a $1OO, 900, 900 or more, worked
and worried himself to death, a Van
derbilt almost as we'll of earned q
fatal stroke of apoplexy and Uncle
Russell Sage is yet hard at it, luncning
on an apple at two cents.
We suspect Mr.. Carnegie is sorry ne
didn't quit 10 years ago when ne had
q few millions less than now. We con-
gratulate him on his good sense. 1t is
one of the mysteries of life why man
should 20 on working and accumulat-

the drag that her invalid mother must

On his way to Washington from

with enough railroad accidents TO last

wrecks on the trip. The representative
from Springfield was not seriously in
jured, but his head and neck are sore
from having 200-pound conductor
thrown upon him while in his berth.
At Louisville, ILL.,, his train went off
the track, but did no damage aside
from bad shaking up of those on the
train. This mishap caused several
hours delay in reaching Flora, and It
was five o'clock before matters were
Strengthened out and he returned to his
berth. When Connolly reached Clay
City and had fallen asleep he was rude
ly awakened by the 200-pound conduct
or intruding, he having been thrown
from the berth on the other side of the
car. The second accident was an eXact
repetition of the first. the train having
left the track. Just before reaching
Washington another delay was caused
by the train ahead of the. one which
brought the congressman running off
the track. Judge Connolly told the
story to his colleagues with great gusto
and was congratulated on having es-
capped injury.
