CHAPTER XVI.-CoNTNUED.
"Ah!" Father Surtees' brows were
knitted together. AS he uttered that
exclamation he rose and began to
walk back and forth across the room.
Suddenly he turned and stood over
Goddard.
do you think she could have in
duced you to take hand in this plot
if you had believed Blanche to be per-
fectly sound, physically?"
Certainly not; it is because she has
such short life, and"
Father Surtees laid his hand ON the
majors shoulder.
Then" he said. "your wife must
have known that it would require
most extraordinary pressure to induce
you to enter into her =cheme, and
and has it never occurred to you that
her story may be deliberate lie out
of whole cloth?"
The major could hardly formulate
an answer. His eyes were wide open,
and his face was like death mask.
Blanche" he began, presently, "is
taking DR.. Jennings medicines.
have seen that"
Medicines" said the priest, "are
often given for slight ailments. That
fact ought not to substantiate the
statement of your wife-that fiend in
carnate-especially when it looks as
if she could have gal ed her purpose
by misleading ou."
Maj. Goddard groaned. AS he bowed
there beneath the earnest look of his
friend he seemed wreck of past man
illness.
'.What can do? Is there any
thing?"
''There is but one thing righu now,'
answered Father Surtees. ''You
ought to go at once to see this DR..
Fleming. see by the papers that he
arrived yesterday, and is at the Sher-
man house."
There was startled stare in the
eyes of the major as he rose.
"Come with me- he said, huskily;
"come with me-"
81 should like to. I am very impa-
tient, Rowland, to know the truth on
that point. Much depends on it; very
much"
In a moment the priest had put on
his overcoat and hat, and the two men
were walking down the avenue to-
wards the hotel just mentioned.
"I shall wait down Aere for you,"
said the priest, when they had entered
the Office of the hotel and been told
that DR.. Fleming was in. Goddard
sent up his card, and in a few mo-
ments he received permission to go
up.

gloves. I'm fact, she did not know ]

was glad to hear of your recent mar
rage Your ward was one of my
most interesting patients. You will
pardon an old man like me, who is old
enough to be her father, when I take
the liberty of saying she is one of the
finest characters I ever met. You
know it is almost an instinct with my
profession to be sble to read human
nature well. Maj. GODDARD, you are to
be envied."
81 am sorry" said the major, "that
you did not speak to me of her physi-
cal condition when she began to take
your treatment; Lut, of course, you
knew best as to the advisability OF
taking me into your confidence. I
may as well tell you That Mrs. God

conGded to me what you had told her
about Blanche's con1.Jion."
DIR. Fleming raised his bushy, iron
gray eyebrows inquiringly; then he
said:
II was really somehow under the
impression that you were present,
major, when I talked to the ladies at
your house. am really curious to see
your ward again. I'll venture she
weighs ten pounds more than she did,
and has a complexion that couldn't be
bought by all the wealth of the
earth"
"Do you mean that there is really
really hope for herr" gasped the ma
jor.
"Hope for her? Why, what do you
mean?"
"My first wife told me you said
Blanche had an absolutely incurable
disease of the heart, and"
"God forbid! Why, there never was
a thing the matter with her, except
she had some secret grief, or trouble.

to suspect the cause of it, aided as 1
was by little gossip I had heard.
This kept her out of spirits naturally,

could not persuade her to leave
Lyndhurst. The medicines I gave her
were only tonfcs. You have given her
all the medicine she needed, Maj. God

was not-not exactly sound, mentally,
| when she left you. Is this true?"

"yes!"
"Well, surely you ought not to have
let any absurd fancy of hers make an
impression on YOU"
Goddard rose to his feet. He looked
like man completely dazed.

ever SINCE" he managed to say.
"Well, you certainly have nothing to
fear on that score" said DR.. Fleming.
as he followed his guest to the door.
ut was not because wished to see
her professionally that informed her
of my return to New York, but be-
ause she reminded me of the only child
ever had-which I lost five years
ago."
There was no ceremony in Goddard's
leavetaking. He left the Physician
staring at him in wonder as he headed
for the stairs leading down into the
office.
Father Surtees emerge, from a
throng of men neGr the newspaper
racks and came forward in the glare
of electric lights.
"Well?" he inquired, eagerly.
"You were right" said Goddard.
Thank God!" calculated the priest
fervently, and they made their way
to the street. They walked half 6
block in absolute silence. Goddard's

swEETHEARTs ALWAYS.

II sweethearts were sweethearts always.
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draught of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
When the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife has a wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweethearts eye
II lovers were lovers always.
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for a future Eden
The joys Of this checkered life?
But husbands grow grave and silent.
And care on the anxious brow
Oft replaces the sunshine that perished
Happy Is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still,
Whose voice as of old can charm him,
Whose kiss as Of old can thrill:
Who has plucked the rose to ind ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,
As the flush of passion Is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace;
Who sees In the step lightness,
Who finds in the form a grace,
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face
Undimmed and unchanged. All, happy
Is he crowned with such a life!
Who drinks the wife, pledging the sweet
heart,
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife.

The Cripple Creek-Be III

A visit to the Cripple Creek
Beam mill disclosed the fact that
several new, large heavy pieces of
machinery for use in the treai

and that quite number of men
are employed
On the side tracks are several
cars of Cripple Greek ore aud also
several cars of coal.
improvements of all kinds are
being made about the mill and
it certainly looks as if the company
in charge means business A great
deal of lifting is saved by reason
of the tracks being above the mill.

it is gradually carried and crushed
until it reaches the bottom of the
mill in the creek below.
The trial test is reported to have
been entirely satisfactory and it is
said that the future outlook for the
mill lis encouraging.

Australian Mai1.s Record Trip.

The most important mail that has left
Australia in years for London recently made
y record-breaking trip. The mail consisted
of BAT sacks and contained many documents
for the British parliament. At Sidney it
was put on board the steamer Ventura, a
steamship sailing under the American flag
and built only last year for the Oceanic
Steamship company at the Cramps ship
gard in Philadelphia. The trip across the
Pacific occupied just q days, the former
time having been % days. From San Fran
cisco the mail was hurried east on special
fast trains ON the Southern Pacific Ogden
iine), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in
Chicago too late to connect with the fast
mail train of the Lake Shore and New York
Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chi
Gag to New York. A special train was made
up and attached to one of the fastest en-
gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular
train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour
and a half lost time was made up. At Buff
falo the regular train was made into two
sections by the New York Central with the
mail cars, including the Australian mail, in
the first section. New York was reached
three minutes ahead of schedule time. At
New York the mail was delivered to the
Campania and that vessel left on regular
time. Barring accidents or unusual delays
it will be delivered in England in several
days shorter time than ever before.

The right of a street railway com
pany to remove shade trees which are
an obstruction to the road which it is
authorized to build is upheld in Miller

p~ensation to the abutting owner,
though notice to him is required, as
well as an opportunity to remove the
trees il he sees fit.
The liability of a land owner for a
nuisance created by another person
is held in Rockport VS.. Rockport Gran
lite Co. (Mass.). 81 L. r. A. 779, to exist
in the case of a derrick with a guy rope
stretched across a highway SO low as
to be dangerous to travellers, where
the land owner permitted it to remain
after he had knowledge of it, thought it
was erected by a licensee.

MISSOURI CROPS.
Cora Dying and Cutting Progressing
RaRidly-in Most Sections
stock Is Being Fed.

columbia, Mo-, Sept. 9.-The United
States department of agriculture,
ina and crop bulletin of the
weather bureau, Missouri section. for
the week ending September 9, Y
Dry and warm weather has contin-
ued throughout the state during the
past week. no rain having fallen. up
TO Saturday evening. except light
spFlnkles in a few scattered localities.
Corn is drying up aad cutting is
progressing rapidly. In many coun-
ties three-fourths of the crop is al
ready IN shock. in some of the north
eastern n southwestern counties
cutting has been fastened on account
OF the ravages of chinch bugs and the
fodder is covered with them.
Cotton picking is progressing well,
but the crop is light.
PASTURES are still reported in good
condition in a few southwestern coun-
ties, but in most sections stock is
being fed as in winter.
IN some localities water l. being
ohfatned with great difficulty.
Iurnips and other late forage crops
are doing well in a few counties, but
in general are making little or no
progress and in some districts are
completely dried up.
IN Jasper and Oregon counties
strawberry beds have been greatly in
Jured by the drought, and in some To-
caEties almost destroyed.
Apples continue dropping to a con-
siderable extent and there is some
further complaint of sunburning. In
a number of the southwestern and
extreme southern counties, however,
a fairly good crop is still promised.
Bitter rot is reported in Wright coun-
fy. In some districts many trees are
dying.
Peaches are generally very good.
Flowing for wheat has progressed
very slowly and is now practically
at a standstill. Some wheat has been
sown, but, while the soil is in good
condition otherwise, it is too dry for
termination. y. +. HACKETT,

lain, of Greenwich, Conn.,, who has
just died at the age of 95 years and
