THEY WERE SwEETnEARTS!

O. ESIDE a French window In n
JS deep armchair sat a woman. 1t
- was evening, and a drlzzling rain
dampened the pane, but the woman
stared straight ahead Into the dark
ness and seemed unconscious of the
immediate environments. None who
knew her had ever sees her face lose
its sweet placidity, nor had they heard
her words make discord In the music
of speech. She passed among her fell
iow-creatures dropping bits of SUM-
shine here and there as she went her
way, looking toward the mysterious
future.
And now, as she sat there alone, a
great calm fell over her, for the mission
which she had long sought had at last
come into her life. What should she
do? The woman's eyes closed and she
leaned her head back against the vel
vet cushions of the chair. The ideal
outlines of face formed themselves
on the curtain of her imagination-a
face neither handsome nor imposing in
appearance, but with coldly critical
blue eyes and sensitive tightening of
the, lips; a face one could love for his
frank boyishness. The blue eyes smil-
ed into the eyes of the woman, and she
sighed over her mission because the
face was there.
"Heavehsgive me strength" she muir

her face; at is for him-for him."

money and scissors used by thieves for

J. Pierpont Morgan, the new Industrial
king of the United States, has risen SO
suddenly into that position that 1t will
be some time before the public generally
will be able rightly to associate him with
the power he really possesses. Mr. Nor
CANS name has been so long and inti-
mately connected with banking that the
old association will cling even In spite
Of his recent stupendous operations In
railroad and his just completed acquisi-
ton, for himself and his capitalist part
ners, of the huge steel industries hitherto
In the control Of Andrew Carnegie. But
Mr.. Morgan has long been an important
figure In the steel business, even il Mr..
Carnegie's prime position In that field has
served to obscure his rivals prominence.
Hereafter the name Of Morgan will con-
note railway empire in America and the
mighty grind Of iron and steel mills.
The new Industrial ruler Is a native of
Hartford, Conn. His father, James Nor
gan, was farmer boy who became a
New England banker. The son was edu-
Gated In Boston and In Germany and at
the death of his father inherited a for
tune of about $10.O00,00O. These figures
represented the Morgan equity in the
banking house of J. s. Morgan & Co. OF
London and of Drexel. Morgan & Co. of
New York. Pierpont Morgan married
Miss Frances Tracy. He has three chill
dren, Louisa and Annie and J. Pierpont,
Jr., who attends to the business Of the
banking houses abroad. As an example
Of business capacity of remarkable
kind, Mr.. Morgan is unparalleled. No
great mental product of modern industry
can approach him. He is as capable as
any Of the Rothschilds in the money line
and his recent achievements us an indus
trial organizer surpass any similar feats
performed by other operators in this
country or abroad. Numerous organizers

BECOMING ALARMING.

DrOuth In Kansas and Missouri Gut Down
Production of Crops.
Chicago, July 13.-Advices are that
the heat and drought in the southwest
is unbroken. 1t is said the damage out
side of Kansas and Missouri is compara-
lively slight, but unless relief comes
within the next 10 days the corn crop
situation will approach a calamity.
A message from Topeka, Kas., says
prospects are for crop of but 90. 900, ,0Oo
bushels of corn, although last years
crop was 1888, ,OOO. 900 and that of previ-
ous year 277, 600, 900 bushels. The loss Of
hay and potatoes also is great, second
only to the loss of corn. 1t is estimated
the farmers of Kansas and Missouri
have already lost 80, 900, 900 by the tor
ridity and drought.
The straits in which the corn crop TO
said to be situated is reflected in the
course of prices of that cereal on the
board of trade. September corn is quot
ed mp to 527s cents or . ceEts higher
than the price one month ago Sep
temher oats sell at 33 cents or cents
higher than a month ago.

Kansas City. July 13.-NO rain has ar

Kansas, western Missouri, Oklahoma
and Indian Territories. Over much of
this region Friday was the worst day OF
the long hot spell, the temperature being
over 100 with no breeze.
Corn, oats, hay and potatoes are so
badly injured that even with rain the
yield would be short and as the wealth.
er bureau gives no hope of relief the
outlook is discouragiug. At some places
in Kansas there has been no rainfall
whatever for nearly three months.
The present is the worst drouth since
1860, when New England sent food to
the settlers of Kansas. However. the
past years have been very prosperous
ones and even now the Kansas farmers
are harvesting one of the largest crops
of wheat, if not the largest. in the his
tory of the state. A great many coun-
ties send word that with rain corn will
be half crop. without rain soon. no
yield. A few say there is yet no hope
for a fair harvest
Hay Is worth $40 ton "a cent a pound
the highest price ever reached in this
market This is almost as much per
pound as wheat is worth. Receipts are
small and the hay which came in was
sold some time ago in the country before,
the drouth became so serious. ~
