He obeyed; but followed at dis

were no houses till she reached the
settlement below. The sun had set;
in the east above the opposite noun

arose from the valley far beneath

breeze. To the ears OF the girl they
kept up their monotonous sobbing
about her father as though they were
living things.
She wns listless no longer: she
walked as one who had purpose, as
one who had far to go. Her eyes look

set in a straight, stern line.
She met no one on her way; there
was little travel on the mountain; the
thriving town over on the other side

other direction.

Museum Fees.

The question OF making the public
pay an entrance fee to Paris museums
arises again. 1t is argued that the re-
ceipts thus levied will be useful to
the administration des Beaux Arts, as
an example the Italian and German
galleries are given. The vatican makes
$4,000 yearly. the Nuremberg museum
a like amount, the Dresden Royal gal
lery $1,000 and the British National
Portrait gallery $4,000.

 Company Is Denied.

Newark, N.

The court held that James Smith has been appoint ed to protect the interests of all the eredi- tors and said he did not believe that a reeeives who would be favorable to the interests of one concern should be ap- pointed. The appointment of dual re- eeiyer. he said, would create confusion.
 Judge Kirkpatrick said he would make an order directing the receiver to report to the court all rents, etc, received by him from the various plants of the cor poration before any distribution is made. and then he will give the mortgages a chance to prove their claim.
