And the Cat Came Back.

Chicago. = Two years ago, when
Charles G. Ryberg of the recorders
office left the quarters in the old
ty building for the last time he glanced
over his shoulder for a last farewell
and saw the recorders cat sitting dis
consulate and forlorn upon the floor.
W~hereupon he picked up the cat and
carried It with him. But it would not
stay in the new home of the recorder
and disappeared in a few days.

aimlessly about the new county build
ing and into the space which will be
occupied by the recorders office.
1t was dark and dismal in there, and
he was about to fee from the gloom.
when he felt something rubbing
against him and heard a dismal
"meouw." There was something about
the voice that sounded familiar.
1t was the recorders cat. 1t was a
badly tousled and ghostly cat, for it
was gray and worn and thin and sad;

Seward watched her grow to girlhood

II should think So" he agreed. He
wondered If this signified that she
did or did not r%eciprocate Abe's devO-
ton. 1t might be interpreted either
way. Her caring for Abe vas not
more homogeneous than some other
things about her. Suddenly he decid-
ed to tell her what 1t was her undoubt-
ed right to know-that Hen Muckle-
henny's visits were for her, not Ollie.
1t would be interesting also to see how
she would take 1t. Would it prove a
pleasant surprise to her?
Perhaps your problem may be solv-
ed in an easier way than going to
town to earn your living. III tell you
something. Hen M~ucklehenny's visits
here have been meant for you, not Oh
lie. He wants to keep company with
you. Perhaps knowing this you may
reconsider your purpose to go to
town"
The information made apparently
very little impression on her, except to
bring to her face a strange look OF
WEAKNESS and sadness.
"Did Hen tell you" she asked In a
spiritless voice, that he wanted to
come to see me?"
He observed that she did not say
keep c%omp'ny." He wondered why
the brightness had so suddenly gone
out of her at the mention of Hen.
NO" he said; II overheard him tell
ing old Morningstar. I have meant to
tell you"
"I've known it." she answered in an
uninterested tone. HE writes verses

WEST VlRgNIlHS
BRIGHT. FUTURE ! !.
FIsHERIEs COMMISSION ER BOW.
ERs TALKS INTERESTINGLY
OF NATIVE STATE.

q do not believe there Is a State in
ali this great Union that has a bright
er future before IT than West Viz
ginia,' said George NJ. Bowers, fisher.
les commissioner, at the Arlington
last night, says the Washington Post.
Mr. Bowers had just returned from a
short season spent in his State, and
brought back glowing reports Of the
prosperity that he found everywhere;
u fancy" he continued, that II the
question Of the revision Of the tariff
were put to a vote in West Virginia,
the people there would declare by an
overwhelming vote in favor Of stand
ing pat. west virginians to-day are
making more money than they have
ever made; the people are contented
and satisfied, and would not like to
see their present prosperity inter.
ferredSwlth by even the threat Of o
change of the tariff.
LET me give you just an instance
of the way things are looking in West
Virginia. 1--WE have known for years
that there is anthracite coal in our
State. The only question has been, is
It there in paying quantities. Mr.. Guf.
fy, Of Pittsburg, capitalist, is invest.
ing thousands Of dollars in lands in
one portion of the State, in which he
believes, anthracite coal will be found.
He proposes to obtain all the land
possible and then make extensive
borings for the purpose of proving
what he believes to be the fact.
"a few years ago the limestone
lands of the State were practically
without value. To-day they are in de,
mand for the limestone that is
shipped to Pittsburg for the great fur
naces of that center of the iron and
steel industry. l have a small farm
under which there is a large amount
Of this rock. This farm cost me $4,000
and few days ago l refused $4,000
for IT. The offer was made by men
who wanted it solely for the lime.
stone. This is but an instance of the
way in which values are increasing in
West Virginia. could give you many
instances Of a like nature. Why should
West Virginians wish to see any
change in conditions that are SO ben
efcial."
