 He was evidently under great agita- ton. and he seemed to reduce his voice to calmness only by extra effort.

 Wrinkle found himself sliding into pitfall of his own making, and the startled vacuity of his small face caused Evelyn to laugh out immcderately.

They sat down ill a hammock and Evelyn kept it in motion with her slip soered feet as they rested lightly on the ldoer.
 Do you remember the young ma1I showed you at church that day?" "The- one," questioned Mrs. Lap easter, "who you said had saved your Efe?" st "Yes; do you remember him?" "Qnite well; his face made wonder ful impression on me, and l have thought of him hundred times after Ill you told me of his struggle to bet ter his condition and educate himself. l don't think ever saw q finer speci- men of physical manhood; he had su- Perb face.

 Then in a. low voice full of agitation Evelyn explained.
 For several minutes after the girl lad finished the old lady remained silent, then she asked gently, cautious 1y, as if she were treading on ground upon which she had not been invited:
 Do you realize what all this means, dear Evelyn?''
 ''I realize that Mir. Fanshaw is a friend of mine, and that Capt. Wrinkle has tried to humiliate him in public''
 II did not. mean exactly that" the widow corrected, quickly. sIt is your own danger that I am thinking about" r. My danger?" Evelyn emphasized the drst word.
 Yes, you see it is difficult for young giri 10 be wholly in sympathy with such noble, suffering character as this MT. Fanshaw without running a risk of becoming dangerously interested. .Yopng girls are prone to care for what is withheld from them, and you may not be an exception to the rule. You ought to Keep the fact always before you that nothing but disaster could come from an alliance with one so far beneath you, at least in point of birth; you see what I. mean"
 Evelyn drew herself up stiffly.
 You need have no fears in that di- fection," she averred. we have neith- lef of ns thought of that.''
 'But, gently persisted the old lady, syou may not even now know your own heart am afraid you could not have been 70 fierce just now had the captain been talking about any other man."

MOZART SYMPHONY CLUB.

Waterbury has so few high class musical events during the season that the concert to be given by the Mozart Symphony club on Saturday evening at Polls will undoubtedly draw out large audience of music lovers. There are few concert combinations in Amer ica that can compare with the Mozart club either in the ensemble or in, the individual players. and 1t goes without saying that those who visit Polfs on Saturday evening will hear one of the finest string quarattte concerts ever given On the local stage. The press everywhere is enthuSia stic in praise or the splendid skill shown by the club and there isn't q particle of doubt thai the enthusiasm is not miSplaced. There, ought to. be a large demand for seats when the sale opens to-morroW morning.

and then Mrs. Lancaster felt shudder pass through the figure in her arms. Evelyn was thinking of a look she had seen in Ronald Fanshaw's eyes as they sat alone that morning.
 At this juncture the couple saw Capt. Wrinkle sarntering down the veranda towards them.
 .'He is looking for you,'' said the widow; shall I leave you alone with hilu?''
 Evelyn's voice sounded harsh when she replied:

DEAD ON THE ROAD.
Torrington Doctor Found on a
 Pile of Rocks.
HE HAD BEEN OUT DRIVING

One of His Horses Rushed Into, the
 Village at Il O'clock With Portion
 of One Shaft--A Searching Party
 Was Organized and After 3 Short
 Search Found the Lifeless Remains
 of the Physician-One of the Horses
 Was Also Dead.
 Torrington, Sept 4-One of the most shocking accidents that has happened in this vicinity in some time occurred last night when Dr Hudson ]. Pulver, a leading homeopath of this place, was instantly killed while driving from Litchfield to Torrington. The accident is believed to have happened shortly before midnight At 5:30 yesterday afternoon, Dr Pulver, behind a span of horses, started for Litchfield, where he met friend of his, K. N. Bronson. They took supper together at the Ban- tam Lake house and about II o'clock Dr Pulver bade his friend good night and started for home. That was the last seen of him alive. The first lnti- nation that anyone had that there was anything wrong was when one of the horses driven by Dr Pulver dashed into Torrington with parts of the har- ness still clinging 10 him. 4 search- ing party was at once organized and on Toll Gate hill the body of the loc- tor was found lying on pile of rocks. The other horse was found short distance lying dead on the side of he road. The wagon was also found wrecked nearby.
 How the accident happened will probably never be known, but it IS II II kl, T, Inr- A.1d Dr Pulver's control on the steep hill and dashed him to his death on the rocks He was 42 years of age and was graduate of the New York homeopathic college. He leaves widow, who is also a homeopathic practitioner. He has been located in Torrington since 1883.

ANOTHER TR|AL RACE TO-DAY.
Early Morning Weather Was
 Not Very Favorable.

About Noon The Breeze Freshened
 And The Preparatory Signal Was
 Giyen-The Start Was Made About
 l O'clock--At , O'clock The Colum-
 bia Was Leading By Half Mile.
 Bateman's Point, R. l., Sept 1.-The prospects for good racing weather for another contest between the Columbia and Constitution were not favorable early today. The sky was dull and overcast, it was foggy off shore, while there was not enough air stirring even to ruffie the water in the upper bay. z. Such conditions were very diScOurag- ing to the entire New York Yacht club contingent, anxious for a settlement of the veXed question of cup defender, and particularly so to those on the Constitution. With but little over two weeks to the first cup race and the new yacht not yet out of the experi- mental stage, every day was of ln- creasing value and every postpOnement a dead loss, or favorable to the selec- tion of the other boat, the Columbia.
 At o'clock there was no breeze st all, and no prospects of any. Still the preparations for the race went right on, the turning marks were made ready. the bix box of signals was hauled out of the locker, while off in the harbor both yachts had their two headsails up in stops and the covers were off the mainsail.
 The breeze increased shortly after noon and the Constitution was the first of the two yachts to get in readiness. The preparatory signal was fired at 12:50.
 At the very best, those on the Con- stitution can figure on but nine days for actual sailing after to-day, for a full week will be necessary to put the yacht in dry dock. overhaul the rig ging and get her inside of Sandy Hook bay. This nine days of course does not include two Sundays, which in an emergency undoubtedly will be utiliz- ed for tuning up work.
 The Columbia crossed the line to the weather of the Constitution but the latter did not follow her, but let her criss alone so as not to be caught as she was in the other trials. The starting time was Columbia 1:0O-35 and the Constitution 1:01-50. The move of the Constitution in pulling around from the Columbia after finding her left in a bad starting, position was a clever one. 1t enabled her to stand out straight for the Narragansett shore where there was more wind than straight out to sea. At o'clock the Columbia was leading by one-half a mile.

OUR OWN POTATO BUG

Board of Agriculture, However, Says
 There is No Danger of Spread of
 the ug-Specimens of Them Cap
 tured in a Potato Patch Near the
 Thames Yesterday.
 London, Sept 4-The board of agri- culture to-day assured the English farmers that there was no danger of q spread of the potato bug, known as the Colorado beetle, several specimens of which were discovered Sunday in a potato patch near the Tilbury docks on the Thames, which caused an ex- traordinary commotion among the ag- riculturalists. Since the presence of the bug was reported. the board has caused the ground to be quarantined and all plant and animal life upon it were destroyed. The environs were searched for other specimens and notice was issued to the public calling attention to the law that provides that any person may be fined FLO who does not immediately notify the police of the discovery of the bug. The poiice are obliged. under heavy penalties, to warn the board of the presence of the bug.

How many spies there are will also be made known at that time. To-day it was supposed there were but two of them, but those who have fallen under their eyes be- lieve there are about half q dozen.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
A Tramp Presents Himself at Syracuse
 Where He Once Lived.

Where He once Lived.
 Syracuse, Sept IA ragged, decrepit tramp arrived in town a few days ago and declared that he was Julius Henry Ruger. brother of William c. Ruger, chief judge of the court of appeals of this state from 1882 to 1892, and who formerly lived in this city. He was committed to the Municipal lodging house temporarily until his history could be investigated. 1t now is known that the man undoubtedly is J. H. Ru- ger, although he is insane and proba- bly, will be sent to Ogdenburg.
 Ruger has been adjudged insane. Monday night in the Municipal lodg- ing house he tore up everything in the cell. He says that he was admitted to the bar in 1855. in Utica and practiced law in Chicago for many years. He then drifted further west. He says he is married and has a child, but does not know where his family is.
