this suburb of the town. The shops are
crowded, the RESTAURANTS and drinking
saloons are dispensing their refreshments
at a great rate, the court yards OF the
two or three quaint old Dutch-built inns
of the neighborhood are thronged with
miners, teamsters and Adventures of ey-

Seated in an upper balcony of the
larger Of the inns and overlooking the
novel and busy scene that is going on IN
the court and street below, are a gentle
man and lady; the latter young, pretty
and attractive, and the former, though
passably handsome, well dressed and like
wise young, presenting such vulgar and
coarse contrast to his companions evil
dent refinement that at first one wonders
at her conversing with him in such an
easy and familiar fashion.
''You are quite sure, then, Mr.. Dash
wood" said the young lady, ''that our
friend, Mr.. Weems, will be found some
where in this train?"
Yes, Miss Muir" was the young mans
reply "My letters from him assured me
that he would accompany the train that
is now coming in. He must be struggling
somewhere in the rear"
''You think he has been successful in
the speculations that called him to Una

Indeed, I do, Miss Muir" responded
the other, with a coarse guffaw that was
meant to be agreeable. ''My uncle Zach

of his last shipment to excellent adyan-
tage and I doubt not that he will be
equally fortunate in securing the hundred
thousand pounds worth of rough gems
that he expects to send to England by
the steamer Scarborough"
Dear me! what an immense sum of
money to invest in diamonds" exclaimed
Miss Muir, opening her pretty eyes very
wide. II should be afraid of having
them stolen on the way back to Eng
land"
$50 would any one, but my uncle will
take care to cover his treasures by the
best of insurance policies before shipping
them," said Eastwood, smiling. You
mustn't believe him richer than he really
is, though. He is investing for two 9th
er parties, besides himself"
$50 you have told me before" said
Miss Muir, suddenly blushing very deep

of that blush," simpered. her companion

Spoken interpretations of such ma
ture are not always in good taste, even if
correct, Mr.. EASTWOOD" said the young
lady, turning away her face, and visibly
annoyed.
''Still, you cannot but be interested in
the fact that your lucky betrothed, who
is awaiting your return to England with
such impatience, will also increase his
fortune vastly by these investments in
which my uncle is engaged continued
Eastwood 'There's new cloud of dust

place at her side. rs it an old friend

diamond fields?"

was not very deeply in his shrewd uncle's
confidence. II only know that he is on
the keen lookout for man named Dun
more, who was last heard of as digging
for diamonds away up somewhere be-
yond the Transvaal.'
"Dunmore!' repeated Miss Muir, in
much surprise. why, a year or more
kago there was an Englishman of that
name-William Dunmore-visiting the
family l was with at Nyanza Station

Eastwood why didn't you tell Uncle

But few words of explanation are re-
quired. Mr.. Weems, upon his arrival in
South Africa, had first, after disposing
of his horses, chiefly occupied himself
with discovering the whereabouts of Ag-

Court Decides Stamp Case in Favor of

The United States Supreme Court de-
cided the cases involving the stamp tax
as it applies to express packages, the
question involved being whether the ship
per or the carrier shall pay the express
charges on packages. The opinion was
handed down by Justice White, and was
favorable to the express companies. The
case came to the Supreme Court from the
decision of the State Supreme Court of
Michigan, which decision was adverse to
the claims of the express companies.

NEW GAME PRESERVE.
Tract of wild Land on Long Island

A number of wealthy men interested
in sport have combined and propose to
breed game on large scale on Long
Island. They have purchased n track
of open and wooded land in the town
of Islip estimated to contain 1000
acres. 1t is watered by several streams
and ponds. The New York State Game
Preserving and Naturalization associ-
alton has been Incorporated for the
purpose of carrying out the plan. The
preserve is already stocked with deer,
rabbits. quail and partridge OF native
growth.
1t is proposed to import English
pheasants of the ordinary and albino
species, French cartridges, European
hares, Syrian partridges, teal. caper
cailzie, ptarmigan. south grouse and
Black forest roe deer. Contracts have
already been made for large numbers
of game, and they viii be liberated
during the fall months. One object of
the association Is to sell live game to
sporting clubs and owners of preserves.

A FRENCH EXPERIMENT.
New Way to Save Children From
Moral Dangers.

New Way to Save Children From
Moral Dangers.
A very novel society has Just been
established in Paris. Its title is Pa.
tronage Familiel. and it's object is to
protect from moral dangers children
who have not yet joined the criminal
class, but who show q tendency to be-
come vicious and dangerous to society,
says the Chicago Times Herald. This
object it purposes to attain by an en-
tirely new method, which can best be
explained In the words of NJ. Louis
Albanel, president of the society.
1.-The army of criminals" says NJ.
Albanel, sis increasing increasingly,
and children form an annual contin-
gent which is ever becoming more nu-
merous. Statistics show that within
the past 20 years the number of crimes
committed by minors has increased by
40 per cent. Now, 1 gladly admit that
charitable and philanthropic institu-
lions are doing a good deal to lessen
this evil, but it must be remembered
that they only hold out helping hand
to those children who have once fallen;
hardly one Of them makes an effort to
preserve children from falling.
"Why do children, even in the best
families, become criminals? Atavism
may be one cause, but there are others
also which must be taken into account.
These are bad company, the habit Of
staying away from school, loafing in
the streets, reading bad books and SEN
sational newspapers-in a word, the
one great cause why so many children
hnnnmn criminals iC hnn1IISn tho
sary surveillance over their conduct is
lacking.
"a preventive hygiene is necessary.
Several magistrates, lawyers and doc
tors have formed the society of which
I am president, and we propose to keep
a watchful eye on the children of Paris
in future. Each active member of the
society will be placed in charge of
certain district, and in this way the en-
tire city will be covered. The children
over whom we intend to exercise sur
veillance will be those who have been
once arrested or who are known to the
police as troublesome characters. We
will visit such children in their homes
or at their schools and have friendly
talks with them. We will suggest to
them the books they ought to read, we
will strive to interest them in healthy
and, above all, we will
avail ourselves Of every possible OPP
portunity to impress upon their minds
the necessity OF getting rid OF bad
habits. We feel that such children
ought to know the dangers ahead Of
them and ought to understand fully
the stern fact that ruin awaits them
If they persist in leading Maynard
lives"
In conclusion it may be said that the
Patronage FamiIiel Is receiving loyal
support from many influential persons
and has won the warmest encomiums |
from philanthrOpists and educators. |
1t is admitted that the experiment is n !
novel one. but the general belief is that |
It will prove Il success, and there are |
some even who claim that it is the |
most practical plan for regenerating |
the children of great city which has |
ever been framed.
