Geneva extension of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad will probably be re-
sumed, the scarcity of rails for the past
few months having stopped the work. The
road will be rushed through to Cotton
dale and thence to Mariana. unless the
recent performances OF the Gates-Morgan
crowd has changed the program.
A Pensacola paper says:
1.-THE big steamship Horribly Castle,
laden with rails for the Louisville and
Nashville, which arrived yesterday. was
locked this morning at the south berth
on the east side of Tarragona Street
wharf, and as soon az a rig could be pre-
pared, the work Of unloading the heavy
steel cargo was commenced 1T Is stated
and estimated that IL will take ten days
time to take out the last OF the cargo
and two different crews are employed
day and night. =
This cargo represents a market valua-
ton of about $4,000. and the duties,
which are computed by weight, will reach
nearly $4,000" ~

Teachers in a Michigan School ALLOW
Studies to BE Ignored and Boy
Is Unable to Read.

A member of last springs gradual.
ing class of the state normal is this
year in small town in the upper
Michigan peninsula spending eight
hours day as private tutor to a H.
year-old boy who, although he was
last year in the eighth grade of a
public school, cannot read words of
two syllables and is no less ignorant
in other branches.
The boy is the son of a wealthy
lumberman. and as he is strongly
averse to study of any description
has been allowed by his teachers to
pass from one grade to another with
out doing any of the required work.
The father practically owns the town
and the teachers feared to antagonize
him through his son, SO permitted
the boy to spend his time in idleness
IN the schoolroom. The father had no
IDEA of such state of affairs until
one day this summer he asked the
boy to read before company, when, by
discovering his lamentable Ignorance
In this line, he was led to investigate
the whole subject of his education.

CHAPTER XIII.

THE FOUNTAINS OF THE DEEP.
Macpherson's trial was set for the
October term of court, and 1 was not
without the hope of being able to go
to the fort in term time to appear
for him. The case was not as simple
as it seemed. Wykamp's evidence
would be difficult to set aside; and
emily those who knew Macpherson
would be able to escape the suspicion
which pointed naturally to the man
whom the land company's scheme
would dispossess. There were two or
three ways to clear Angus, but just
how to do it without duplicating Sell
ter was a problem. AS last resort,
l determined to bring the Tennessee
an to book; and this determination
was clinched when Setter refused to
come to the rescue of his own mo-
ton. l put it to him conditionally,
asking him if he would make a depo-
sition and take his chances of escape
if it should become necessary to save
Mac from paying the penalty in his
stead.
II reckon We wouldn't hardly expect
a man to do that Their, would We, Mr..
Halcott?" he said, when / had laid
the matter before him. "Ez you say,
Macs been a powerful good friend to
me, an all that, but TIERS limits,
amt ther'?"
l said yes, and did not urge him,
but l made out my case for Angus
with ruthless alternative in reserve.
If 1 couldn't clear him without involv-
ing Setter, the Tennesseean should
pay the price.
In the meantime, matters went on
the even tenor of their way in the
valley. For purpose of my own, a
purpose which detailed itself at some
length in technical correspondence
with my legal partners in Denver, I
dissuaded Winifred from leaving the
valley; nay, more; l even succeeded
in convincing her that it was her duty
to take the Valley Head school for
the fall term. She did 1t; did it under
protest, fancy; but that mattered
not SO long as my end was subserved.
Not to make a mystery of it here,
was determined to set her free, le-
gally, and it was strong point in
her case to have her resident within
rifeshot of her husbands camp and
ignored by him. There was but one
plea which could be set up and sus-
tanned against Wykamp, but the evil
dence of that was not lacking. Nan
no longer went about her work with
laugh and gibe for all corners.
She hid herself, as is the won't of
such stricken creatures.
Now that it is all over, willingly
confess that / had serious doubts as
to my ability to persuade Winifred
to appear in court in her own behalf;
doubts which would have been con-
victions had known her half SO well
as 1 thought I did. For her the in
complete marriage was bond not
to be set aside by any decree of court,
and ought to have known it from
the beginning. Bad as he was Wy
kamp was still her husband, and did
her an injustice by daring to hope
