Lead Is Too Low.

In the spirit of commercial fairness
to the struggling miners and mine
owners, more especially those in con-
troll of low grade properties, the Amer
ican Smelling and Refining Company
should place lead in ores on the 4S
basis. This is precisely what it prom
ised some months ago, when it dropped
the quotation from 3.9Os to 3.5Os per
100 pounds. The market was over
supplied at that time, and the contest
between the different selling compan-
les was somewhat acute in New York.
This is not the situation at present.
Reports from st. Louis show a recent
advance of l.50S per ton in crude lead,
making a total advance of 30 per ton
since the middle of August. The mar
ket closed steady at 5.50S per ton to
the owner of the ore, price that leaves
a margin of 4s per ton smelling charges
on 20 per cent ore, against a former
allowance of 7S per ton. In the Colo
RADIO furnaces ore of that grade, as a
fiux for "any" gold ores, would be a
gift to the smelter at no charge what
ever for the handling.
In New York in the week ending
September 10, pig lead in carload lots
gained 6S per ton, the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company demanding
1855 and 44JS per loo pounds for their
product. This means 8SS per ton, COM
pared with 7uS to the miner, or l8S per
ton for the handling compared with
IS at st. Louis.
At the end of August the Spanish
lead market reported an advance for
the week in the matter of price, with
heavy exports to Marseilles and Lon
don. The latter market is also firm,
with no surplus stock.
Friday morning last the New York
Commercial, which quotes lead prices
as fixed by the agents of the smelter
trust, commented as follows: "SDot
lead continues very firm at 4.50S The
difficulty experienced for some time
in securing spot supplies continues,
and manufacturers of lead products
are often inconvenienced by their ina
bility to secure prompt deliveries. Lou
don was unchanged at lie Is Cd. St.
Louis reported the market strong and
supplies scarce. Missouri quoted at
Ass"
This journal reported the smelter
trust price for 30 ton lots at 4.40S per
100 pounds, and straight carload lots
at 4.421aS, with the silver taken out

his employer has no right to dictate
the mode of life to be observed by his
clerks. There is no denying the fact
that this is the view taken by the av-
erage person. 1t will be remember
that storm of protest was aroused
some time ago when Mr.. Shaw, Secre
tary of the Treasury, promulgated a
similar rule with reference to the con-
duct of persons holding positions of
trust in his department. The Secre
tary was roundly abused by certain
sportively inclined employees, but the
fact remains that the rule is still in
force, and according to report, has
been very generally observed, to the
betterment of both the public service
and the men against whom it was di-
rected.
The position of the managers of the
Chicago concern is unassailable so
long as they insist that they are max
ing no effort to regulate the morals or

They are simply serving notice of the
kind and character of employees they
demand, and giving their present
force the option of meeting those re-
quirements or looking elsewhere for
work. We are disposed to believe that
the decision of the Chicago company
is long step in the right direction.
1t will be a valuable lesson if the
young men of the country learn that
there is business penalty as we'll as

The kn Iwledge that his indulgence in

BOYD PEYToN SEES A VISION.


 fT@ lHE first thing of which Boyd \ PeytOn was conscious was 'asSzsSSs the song of bird. The high, EAsssss clear notes seemed to beat in upon him personally. They came to him apparently from afar off, from a great distance. They stole into his con- sciousness, through his dull and drow- sy ear, with increasing vibration and volume. He wondered vaguely what 1t could be. The melody pleased him.
 Presently it burst upon him that the sound came from the full throat of mocking bird. A mocking bird That recalled Mary Amman to him. He lay quiet and still, thinking vaguely of her. There was a strange indisposi- tfon to move in his mind as he thought of her. ragments of ideas, bits of recollection, whirled about in his head They began to assemble by degrees and take shape-her shape.

He could not recognize or localize objects, but he could per ceive enough to know that this was not his berth or stateroom on the Hart ford. He missed the heaving of the ship. The place was strangely motion less. Instead of the smell of tar and paint a delicious fragrance filled the room, fragrance that, like the mock ing bird, called up the days of the past, hours of youth and love and Mary An nan.
 Where was he? An, it was room. There before him, framed in white draperies, was an opening. Presently he made out green mass of foliage

CHAPTER xLIIr.
MARY AMMAN BEGs FORGIVENESS.


 YaEAK, feeble, almost helpless a N !" ghost of himself, in fact BssEz@1 Boyd Peyton was yet on the RSs4AS royal road to recovery. After his first sight of her he had seen noth- ing more of Mary Amman. When Dr. Venosste had assured her that he would get well, his mother had gone away, and he had not seen her either. Fort Morgan had fallen after a heroic de- fense before the combined assaults of ships and army, but it's flag had not come down until it had been hammered to ruins by the fierce bombardment, able. General Peyton had been sent north as a prisoner of war, and Mrs. Peyton had accompanied him. Willis had been exchanged and was now with General Maury's army defending Mo- bile. The care of the Annandale house. hold had been left to Pink and little Tempe, for when Boyd Peyton's recov- cry had seemed assured Mary Amman had given way under the strains and anxieties and bereavements she had sustained.
 Peyton had begged so hard and so constantly to see Mary Amman that Dr. Venosste had at last given his permission. The girl had been miser- ably i'll, but was now somewhat bet ter, and the old doctor hoped that the interview might benefit them both. Willis and Pleasants had come that afternoon to carry him into her room. Peyton had insisted upon being dressed in his uniform as a United States naval officer, his clothing having been sent him under flag by the thoughtfulness of the old admiral be- fore he went north on a we'll earned leave of absence. He had strange fancy that if she loved him she must take him in the uniform of the Union. It was in that uniform that she had rejected him. It was in it that she must take him back. Willis and Pleas ants found him ready when they came.
 Willis had never ceased to be thank full that his brothers life had been spared. He never would forget the sensations that had come over him when he had learned that he had fired the shot that had stricken him down. Boyd had never forgotten that Willis, alone or his family, had bidden him godspeed when he went from Mobile years before. And Pleasants, whom he had always liked and who was betrothed to his sister, who had been good to Mary Amman, had been very kind to him also. He was glad to see the young man, but he could scarcely wait until they lifted him up in the wicker chair to carry him into the room that had been her fathers, where Mary Amman lay
 The two men set the chair down close to the side of the bed. Then with a word of cheer to the sick woman they turned and left the room.

Quietly away.

'sMy tetterp she cried, sturt5ng b0ck.
 That n1gnr rney stood on the deck of the transport fast approaching the mouth of the bay, bound to that north which appeared so cold and so un-3 friendly to poor Mary Amman. She had given up everything to follow him. Down below in one of the cabins Tempe was asleep. They had taken her with them to make a new home and begin a new life in what was to both of them a new land.
 The night had fallen when they. passed by the ruined and shattered Amman had watched her little brother. die. There the ships had engaged in aA mighty death grapple in that last Ho- merle contest. There her lover had been stricken down while she had watched the conflict from the grassy ramparts. The red flag with its blue St. Andrews cross and it's white stars had been hauled down from that fort, X never to wave over it again. No longer was that flag lifted upon staff any, where in the land. No longer did men dAly " lSC oOLOhSCs 6tSAaAAJ L00V& S<NA " die rather than let it fall to the dust, rather than disgrace should touch it. 1t was the flag of cause that was lost, but for generations it's defenders and their children's children would hold it in precious and tender memory consecrated by love, haliowed by valor, made sacred by death, endeared by de- feat.
 It was night as the vessel slipped past the fort and headed for the open sea. Hand in hand the young husband and wife leaned over the taffrail aft and gazed back at Fort Morgan The war was over. There was peace in the land. As they looked there came across the dark waters the notes of bugle playing the sweetest call and the sad- dest that falls upon a soldiers ear:

' been exchanged. He had been so ill so long that the war had ended leaving him still a prisoner. It was the 18th of April, 1865. Richmond had fallen, Lee had surrendered, the intrenchments of the Spanish fort at Blakely had been stormed. General Maury had retreat ed, and the Federal troops were enter ing the city. The end had come. The Confederacy was no more. God had decided that the Union could not and should not be broken. Soldiers in strange blue uniforms were filling the streets. A regiment of bronzed vet erans marched up Government street, futtering above them the stars and stripes. Their band was playing-hate- full tune in the peoples ears-"John Browns Body" It had been long time since that flag had been seen in Mobile, and as Boyd Peyton had been the last to salute it then he was the first to salute it now. AS the regiment marched by, heading for the Shell road, where it was expected some further re- sistance might be made by the Confed- crates, general officer, surrounded by a dusty and weather beaten staff of hard campaigners, drew rein before Annandale House. A question to surly passerby eIicited that this was the home of Miss Mary Amman. The general sprang from his horse, threw the reins to an orderly and came clank- ing up the walk toward the house.
 Boyd Peyton descended the steps to >meet him.

beyond, a live oak, SLirTeu Dy the SenLle breeze. He was lying upon a bed, he discovered. Whose room could 1t be? What had happened? He remembered by and by the roar of the cannon, the beating throb of the mighty engines, the crash of timbers, the scream of shells. He had been on the Hartford yes; that was it-with the great admi- raL They were approaching the Ten nessee. He had the lockstring of the forward pivot in his hand. He had pulled it. Then what had happened?
 He thought deeply. At last he ar rived at the conclusion that he had been wounded. Where had he been wounded? He felt a strange inabili- ty to move hand or foot, apparently, yet he seemed to feel that he pos sessed all his members. He happened to turn his eyes upward in his specu- lations, and the white line of a bandage showed dimly across his brow above them. What did that mean? A blow on the head, perhaps. Yes, that was it. He had been struck on the head.
 What had they done to him? Where was he now? In a house somewhere on the shore, evidently. But whose house and where? It could not be Pen sacola. It was not the hospital there; nor the fort. What could it be? Had the admiral An, was it Mobile? Mobile and Mary Amman? What was that sound? A footstep on the floor, a dark figure bent over him. He heard voices-surprise relief, anxiety in their tones. They were saying some thing. He strove desperately to catch the meaning. 1t had been so long since he had heard and recognized voice. What were they saying?
 His eyes are open. believe he is conscious at last. Willis, call Dr. Venosste at once"
 He knew now. It was his mothers voice. And that other who had cried ''Thank Godr' as he hurried from the room was his brother.
 Mother he whispered.
 Another figure approached him, hung over him, swan into the field of his vision. Eyes that he had dreamed of looked love into his own, voice that he could never forget called his name
 Mary Annan," he whispered joy ously, wonderingly, fearfully, and then tainted away into insensibility again. The shock of her presence had caused him to lose consciousness once more. Dr. Venosste speedily reassured the women by telling them that such things often happen in cencussion of the brain. Any sudden shock after con- sciousness had been recovered was apt to throw the patient into unconscious ness again, but the recovery therefrom would be speedy and sure unless the shock were too great,
 For the first time the old doctor stat ed that unless complications ensued Peyton would get well, and, better still, when he learned of that flash of rec ognition, he said that his mind would clear as well. Such a siege as the wo- men had gone through with him can scarcely be imagined. They had been sustained by that wonderful power which enables women to bear strains and fatigues which would kill the strongest man out of hand. It was not until now, when the doctor had given them the first definite ray of hope, that they realized what they had gone through and how utterly worn out they were. ,
 Summer had faded away into au- tumn and winter was fast approaching when Boyd Peyton was at last pro- nounced out of danger.
