Cashiers Matters at the Bank.

Cashiers Matters at the Bank.
Constance was left prey to anX
ious thoughts while Tony went on
toward the mill building. long, low
built structure on the river bank.
Tony asked to see Mr.. Carter. and
was directed to his office, comfort
able enough apartment at the rear OF
the building.
'Mr. Carter, have you seen Mr..
Hamilton, this morning-or last
night?"
Seen Mr.. Hamilton! What do you
mean, young man? You ought to
know / haven't without asking" he
said irritably
"Mr. Hamilton was at the bank
last night, that's all, said Tony.
And never came near the mill!
Look here, Henderson," he called.

by George! That looks bad, don't
it. Carter?"
Yes; where can he be now?"
"Thats the question. Perhaps he
came back after something, and didn't
want to trouble Constance by going
there. She. of course. would object
to his going away again, and he knows
it. He knows very well, too, that his
mysterious journeys vex her, as we'll
they might"
Where does he go. Carter, every
year in May?"
You know as well as | do. only
hope there's no danger in 1t. that's
all. Seems as If there must be, or
he would tell Constance"
"Mr. Carter, your niece would like
10 have you step up to the house."
Worried. hey! Well, Henderson,
you just fix that matter as we talked.
1t seems we must get along without
Vane a while longer. l hope nothing
has happened to him, as you say. III
Just go up to see Constance. If We

SAD SIGHT IN INDIA.
Hilmen staseer Under Burden of
Immense Planks.

No sadder sight is to be seen in
India than the spectacle of THE
Men With the Planks," staggering
along under their burden. Here is
grimly pathetic picture OF them, drawn
by Sir Frederick Treves:
They are hillmen of the poorer
sort who carry planks of sawn wood
into Simla. Each beam is from twel sc
to fourteen feet in length and two
or three make up load. The men
are ill-clad. and the sun and rain
have tanned them and their rags to
the color OF brown earth. They bear
the planks across their bent backs,
and the burden is grievous. They
come from a place some days journey
tow ard the SHOWS They plod along
from the dawn TO the twilight. They
seem crushed by the weight of the
beams. and their gait is more the gait
of a stumbling beast than the walk of
a man. Their long black hair is white
with dust as IL hangs by each side of
their touchdown faces. The sweat
among the wrinkles on their brows is
hardened into lamentable clay. They
walk in single file, and when the path
is narrow they must needs move side
ways. The path is in a soli-
tude among bare and pitiless hills:
the road is as old as the world: and
in the weary dust of it many hun
dreds have dropped and died. Along
it steals this patient line of groaning
mon, bending under the burden of the
planks upon their backs. Behind
them rosy-tinted light is falling upon
the spotless SHOWS, and it needs only
the pointing figure of Dante on one
of the barren peaks to complete the
Dicture of circle in Purgatory."

The birds that are surest and swiftest OF
