CHAPTER XI.

Immediately after Her had tainted
Aunt Fanny entered the drawing
room in search of something for Mrs.
Edrones. She remained quite still
in astonishment as she beheld Her
before her, entirely unconscious.
Her surprise was inexpressible when
she observed the maiden thus. When
she had called Hers name repeatedly
and received no reply, she seized the
rigid form within her arms and en-
tered Mrs. Edrones' bed chamber. A
physician was also summoned to Hers
assistance and nothing that could
relieve her was withheld. Ere long
the swoon had passed, but fever
set in, which appeared as the begin
ming of a long illness. None knew
the cause of this attack, though every
one maintained his own opinion con-
cerning the affair. But ere long all
was plainly revealed to them, for
Her, in her delirium, moaned and
groaned and called for Arnold.
go, Arnold my love for you is
sincere. Why did you end your
precious life for me? | do not de-
serve such affection as you bestowed
upon me. Return to your Her and
she will grant your dying request"
She often cried quite angrily:
81 shall never address you in that
manner again if this is what | obtain
in return"
She frequently referred to Irby
and their broken engagement and
her intention to reside in the nur-
merry. At times she imagined she
was on the lake with Irby, listening
to the story of his love. She once
spoke of Irby's marriage, and then
OF Arnold's proposal and her reiec-
ton.
"Arnold, have sent the missive
and returned the ring, so am yours
forever"
She tossed restlessly and moaned
in her pain, remaining thus for weeks.
The physician sat by her bed watch
ing the lovely but sad features
stamped upon the pale face of Her
Stephens as she quietly slumbered.

why should such troubles be placed
upon her young head? She had
never before realized how her
affections were entirely Arnold's,
never to be bestowed upon another,
try as she might. All hope had van
ished with his death. Never before
had the truth been revealed so
plainly to her as now. She sat cold
and still with the folded note
clinched between her fingers and
was thinking of her departed lover.
30, Arnold, if you only knew of
my love for you l would be happy
I've caused this. Why did you
commit this rash deed T? If you were
present now your dying wish should
be granted, but alas, too late, too
late"
Great tears chased each other down
her cheeks. Suddenly the glistening
of her diamond ring brought the
memories of Irby clearly before her
mind.
81 can never be his wife. My af-
fections are buried with Arnold and
can never be revived, but as he has
been snatched suddenly from me by
the hand of death, shall leave the
gayeties of this world, for l care no
more for them, and my future home
shall be in the nunnery. | will depart
from Sunny Side Immediately after
Arnold's funeral, and must return
this ring to its owner at once, for I
never wish to cast my eyes upon the
horrid thing again." and after taking
a piece of note paper off the desk,
she hurriedly wrote these simple
words:
"To Prof. Wallace: | return the
ring which you gave me before my
departure from Winderville. have
no affection to bestow upon you, and
will be unable to make you the wife
you deserve, so desire you to con-
slider our engagement at an end !;
therefore 1 do not wish to keep the
ring. trust you will soon Danish
all thoughts of me from your mind.
"Sincerely, Her Stephens.
"'Sunny Side August II, 1885,"
She sealed the small missive and
placed it upon the table, then en-
deavored to read one of the late
papers, though her mind was else
where. Suddenly her attention was
attracted by paragraph it contained.
This was it:
"Married, at the residence of the
brides parents, at 116, ST. Georges
Street, in the city of Maylulu, Miss
Mamie Manners and Prof. |. L. Wal
lace, DIR. j. G. Durham officiating.
The bride is one of Maylulu's most
beautiful and highly accomplished
young ladies and is loved by all who
know her. She will be missed
greatly in the circle in which she
moved. The groom is the son of
Dr. >. =. w allacc, the president of
Winderville Female College, large
and famous institution, of which he
is a professor. He is a popular and
energetic young man, who wins
many friends wherever his lot is cast.
Prof. and Mrs. Wallace departed for
Winderville Immediately after the
ceremony was performed, where they
will make their future home. We
wish for the young couple long life
of happiness and prosperity"
Her dashed the paper upon the
floor and cried to herself.
"Only Arnold's love was sincere.
o, Arnold, my lover" She then
swooned and fell to the floor, when
the thought of the evenings events
again sprung into her mind.

Parties in Oats Corner Cannot
Ask for Additional Margins.
INJUNCTION AMENDED
Waite, Thorburn & Co. Claim Con.
spracy on Part of the Bulls to Fore
stall the July Observation-Disclosures of
Corner Exposed.

Chicago, July 31.-Judge Chytraus
this morning announced that the in
junction in the oats corner matter
would be amended so that the defen-
dants, Patter, Frazier and others, will
be enjoined from applying to the board
of trade or its president to act under
the rules and call for additional mar
gins. This leaves the injunction in full
force,
Methods of Corner.
The allegations in the bill filed yes
terday morning for Waite, Thornburn
& Co. give some interesting informa-
tion on the methods of this particular
corner and corners in general. The
basis Of the whole trouble is told, In
the month of May last Waite, Thor
burn & Co. sold" $4,000 bushels Of
standard grade oats, contracting to de-
liver them in July as follows: To Bart
lett, Frazier & Co., $4,000 bushels; to
James A. Patten, 5000 bushels; to Car
rington, Patten & Co., 5000 bushels.
To explain the way they We're sold"
the boards margin rule is incorporat-
ed. This shows that the deposit of 10
per cent guarantees sale, and that
with raises in the market price Of a
commodity the purchaser can require
an addition to the margin deposited as
security by the one having promised
| to deliver. The bill shows that from
margins on oats at 35 cents bushel
in May, Waite, Thorburn & Co. have
been pushed up to deposits on oats at
70 cents, the phenomenal price reach
| ed in this operation.
Conspiracy Alleged.
They then allege a conspiracy to
forestall and corner the market in
standard oats for July, and declare
that besides Patten and those named,
except the board and it's president,
there are other parties unknown to
them. They charge that this alleged
pool is made up by men who not only
have the means to raise the prices,
but also for what is called supporting
the market" by purchases from day to
day at eXorbitant prices.
"All along I have had no intention
of cornering the market; this has been
natural corner" said Mr. Patten.
"The market cornered itself"
