ing shoulders. Still the prospect of any
sorrow for Lottie Palmer was misery
for Haven.
The young man was much embar-
raised when he was ushered into MI
Osborne's office, and he was perhaps
the worse for an empty stomach. The
publisher, squarely built, hale and
rudy man of so years, sat by a broad
oak table Uttered with books which had
the look of philosophical works, and he
himself had evidently been engaged up
on some writing in that field OF
thought.
He greeted Haven with the frankest
cordiality, very encouraging and yet
humiliating, for this granting of equal
ity made the young mans errand seem
the meaner and the cheaper. Haven
hesitated, and then his eye fell upon
some money that lay on the table. The
sight emphasized his need, and when
Osborne put the money into his pocket
Haven felt an absurd sense of loss.
'fMr. Osborne" he said, I'm in peck
of trouble. | am a man hanging on to
the tail CT a bear. 1 want somebody to
help me let CO.
Then he proceeded to describe the sit
uation of affairs on the magazine.
Il can neither stay there nor quit, :"
he said in conclusion, for l haven't a
penny; / haven't even the price of a
luncheon"
Osborne laughed. 1t seemed to Ha-
ven an unkind thing to do. He said to
himself that he hadn't made his case
strong enough. He went over it again
and added few more troubles. where
at Osborne laughed again heartily and
as If he expected Haven to laugh with
him. But, suddenly observing the aw-
full gloom that shrouded his visitors
countenance, he checked his laughter
and said earnestly:
My boy, you don't know what trou-
bic is, and you'll never be good for
anything until you co.
Haven was angry. 1T seemed easy
I for man without care to talk in this
strain. The value of trouble as an
architect of character is easy to see
from the outside of the structure.
81 think you scarcely appreciate the
al ip INF
of voice. IL can't move. I'm tied hand
and foot"
You must move" said Osborne.
That is what we are here for-action.
energy, conquest. Troubles? Why, my
young friend, there are not enough OF
them. Your soul isn't getting the prop
err amount of exercise. The best people
in this world have to go out looking for
troubles-for obstacles to throw out of
| their way"
"But what the d beg your par

without a cent? II could show some

the editor, clasping the ring with firm
grip, this shall be found just where 1t

AT that instant his slbconscious mind
sent up the idea of George Osborne as
If it had been a card on salver. The
subconscious mind always attends to
business. 1t is not led away by senti-
mental considerations. Tt comes up to
the surface from time to time to take
note of the situation and then retires
into it's own secret plate to ruminate
| upon the essential thing. We may or
may not read its suggestions Alright,
but for certainty it is the wisest part
of us.
Haven received Osbornes name as
hint in the matter of borrowing money.
Osborne was in the publishing business,
a man of comforta ole means and well
regulated life He had bought several
short stories from Haven before the
latter had taken the editorship of the
magazine and had expressed a hearty
appreciation of the young mans abil-
ity.
But Haven didn't wish to borrow
money of Osborne. In the deepest parts
of his mind he knew better. More SUI
perfcially, he was aware that such a
| proceeding would be bad Introduction
to a business scheme of some magni-
tude which he desired to propose to Os-
borne when it should be thoroughly
worked UP in his own intellect.
If he had not been so burdened with
troubles, the perfecting of this scheme
would have been, in Haven's opinion,
| an easy matter; but he had worried
so much about his phantom salary
and his too real expenses that it had
seemed impossible for him to pull his
| mind together. Moreover, he was anx-
already mentioned. She and her
| mother were living upon a small in
come, which from certain causes was
in danger Of being reduced. Haven
opened every letter from his sweetheart
with fear and trembling, thinking that
it would give him the news that the
blow which he was wholly unable to
parry had really fallen. There was no
reason to dread actual calamity; they
would still have enough to carry them
along until he should be able to take
the burden of their needs upon his will

THE WASTE OF
ENGLISH RED TAPE.

There was big fire in the coal
stacks of the English government at
Portsmouth recently. The outbreak
was due to spontaneous combustion and
was only extinguished after large
gangs of men had been pouring tons of
water upon the burning coal for two
days. 1t is the system of storage which
the government has to thank for these
periodical fires, which have destroyed
thousands of dollars worth of coal
within the last few years.
The South African war has brought
into glazing prominence the muddles Of
officials which cost the people of Eng
land many extra dollars year. For
instance. two large transports, the Ohio
and the Reno, were offered as troop
ships by their owners. They We're or
aered to Loadon from Manchester at a
cost of about $500 each. The Reno,
which arrived first. was adjurded too
small. The Ohio was then pronounced
too big. AS matter of fact, they
were sister ships.
The deplacing Of Dovers obselte
muz3le leaders with new guns was hail
ed with relief But the cost was heavy
of hauling these five great weapons TO
the top of the high cliffs, two miles
away. No sooner were they in position
than they were all found to be defect
i've. They had all to be removed and
fresh ones brought instead.
When one reads of the ridiculous doc
uments distributed by the British war
office, one can understand something of
the waste of postage, time and stamps
which goes on across the water. A lady
writing from Kidderpur, in India. to
ask about her husband at the front,
had reply that Ire was killed in action.
A printed form was inclosed, contain
ing about 40 questions, among them
who was your husband?' Where is
he stationed?" IF dead, where did he
de?" and ended that unless these
questions were answered no reply need
be expected.
A Welsh clergyman was nominated as
chaplain for volunteer force. Back
from the war Office came a string Of
questions, among them, Has the appli-
cant ever been in prison? II so, for
what offense?" Naturally the question
was left unanswered, with the result
that a clerk wrote back; I'VE note you
give no answer to question -. We hope
this does not imply that the person you
nominate has been convicted"
This is the same Office which ignored
the offer OF colonel of the Sheffield
volunteer artillery to provide four guns
out of his own purse at cost of $780,
900 and which has kept two useless po-
licemen doing sentry duty outside the
Irish office In wat Is known as Bird
cage walk ever since the old days Of
the dynamite scare.
just at present England IS losing
heavily by the refusal OF the authori-
ties to adopt the new American count
ing and tabulating machine, which has
rendered our recent census the cheap
est and most complete ever taken.

THE SPUR FOR ATHOR OUGHBRED.

ct was salary day, and Paul Haven
was waiting near the cashiers wins
dow while some OF the chief men con-
nected with the mechanical depart

their pay. Haven was the editor, po-
sition which had highly gratified his
young ambition when he had obtained

of this narrative.
The business manager, Mr.. Sunder-
land, beckoned from the door of his Of

ton, but his eye was on the money
window, and his air was that Of dog

in conversation with the cashier, who

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Aug. l9.-The
opinion prevails among fruitgrowers in
this region that the big city firms are
endeavorimg to secure corner ON the
apple market. and they are struggling
between the tempting offers being made
for the product Of their orchards and Il
desire to hold of little longer before
selling.
They are mindful Of the apple corner
Of two years ago, and think that by wait
ing until later they can get more money
for their fruit. Representatives of city
firms are swarming over the country and
this entire fruit belt buying whole orch
ards Of apples aud peaches. They say
that apples especially will be high this
winter. The crop is not So large else
where US through this section, and for
this reason the firms are DESTROYS of pre-
pairing for the winter trade.
From Sl.15 to 81 q barrel is being paid
for apples in the orchard, the firms
agreeing to pick and pack the fruit for
shipment. Thousands of barrels have
been bought at these prices through this
region within the last two weeks.

struck by squall during storm about
Z o'clock last night as she was en- route

of water six miles above the city as she
was going into Crowells Landing. Six
teen persons are reported drowned. The
disaster occurred as supper was served
and many of the % passengers were in

sons struggling in the water and left the
survivors in house near the bank and
came to the city. Captain Bauer, who
