FINED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

The wealth of the United Stat s is increasing 50 rapidly that the fine of $29,24o,oOO imposed on the Standard Oil Company last Saturday by Judge Landis in Chi cago did not even startle the pub lie as they realized that should it ever be paid it would work no hard ship on the company having this enormous amount to pay for violat- ing the provisions of the Elkins law. This is the biggest fine in it's history and the maximum under the 1905 counts of the indictments of which the Standard was found guilty and should put stop to the pratice of accepting reb tes from the railroad companies.

any new or otherwise suspicious cir cumstances arise"
 With these words I turned and walked down the path in the direc- tion of Carney-Croft, leaving her standing by the gate, crying softly.
 The next afternoon I took boat on the river and padded aimlessly up and down trying to kill time and watching for an opportunity to speak to Miss Carney. whom had not seen for two days. Miss Weston's condition was growing steadily worse, and the arriv- al of the nurses from town and their close attention to their patient, coupled with the frequent and anx- tous visits of the village physician, served as sufficient excuse for the hurried departure of all of Miss Car ney's guests except myself, who re- mained from sense of duty as we'll as desire to be near at hand and in position to set myself right with my hostess on the first occasion that offered.
 did not go far from the house, but rowed up and down the stream with TO particular objective point in mind and only thinking of what I light do In regard to Mrs. Bruce, and most of all, how I could hope to again gain Miss Carneys good will, if nothing more, and explain, In the slightest de- gree, my outrageous behavior.
 It is needless to say that Twas In TO happy frame of mind and, as allowed the boat to drift slowly down stream with the current, I leaned over the side and peered into the depths of the limpid water on which I was float ing
 As I drifted carelessly along in this lazy fashion I finally came to a point opposite that portion of the bank where the ghosts had disappeared so suddenly and mysteriously Tn the bright moonlight. Up to this time my mind had been free from any thought Of this feature of the Carney Croft puzzle, for the events of the past few days, together with my anx- iety to see Miss Carney and right myself in her eyes, were more than enough to occupy my entire attention for the moment.
 The realization of ny position of the shore, however, served to recall vividly the spectral scene of the sum- ner, and again began to speculate as to the manner in which the ghost like figures had managed to disappear from view in such an effectively su- pernatural way
 While ! was pondering over this problem and wondering If I was ever to solve 1t with any degree of satis- faction, noticed a slight commo- ton in the water between me and the shore, such as might have been made by a beaver or muskrat.
 Tn another moment a mans head appeared above the surface and then, with wild look at me and my boat, not 20 yards distant, he gave a con vulsive sputter and disappeared again with plunge like that of a porpoise playing under the bow of ship.
 The water was bitterly cold, for it was napu mar the and of lat<.hor nd

 As I watched her ascend the stairs with a little self-reliant poise to her head and a manner of absolute non. chalance, I came to the sudden and positive conclusion that the woman had not a bad trait in her makeup and that the only way to deal with her was to approach her frankly and in all honesty of purpose. I was con vinced, too, that Miss Weston had played no small part in persuading Miss Carney to send for her as nurse, and I wondered how and through what sort of argument she had been induced to admit to her house a woman whom she had every reason to suspect of bearing her no great amount of good will.
 From the housekeeper, who chanc- ed to pass through the hall, I learned that the nurses from town were ex- pected on the evening train, and that Mrs Bruce would go home as soon as they arrived, and I determined to see her and talk with her that very night at her cottage
 Shortly after dinner, which, like all the other meals of the day had been conspicuous by Miss Carney's ab, sence, I again started out in the dio rection of the widows house and ar rived just in time to find her and Jenks in heated arguments at the gate.
 I slackened my pace as l saw them standing in t5e light Of the doorway and, feeling that the circumstances warranted me In playing the part Of eavesdropper, I stepped stealthily for ward in the shadow of the shrubbery until was within hearing distance
 Wal" Jenks was saying doggedly. s.th' hull things baout teh come aout fore long an ye nights well tell me naow an hev done wit it!"
 ''Ill tell you when the time comes, Sam she said, soothingly, and then she added something in tone so low that I could not hear
 Course I'll trust ye, Matilda" said Jenks earnestly and in evident re- sponse to her last remark "Hain't allus trusted ye rum tn start; an got them peslxy bundles fur ye, an buried em, too, thaout never askin' no questions? But I tell ye, Matilda, tn hull things comin' aout fore long, an, what's more, that lawyer cuss wuz up on tn hill this mornin' right after we left, an dug up tn last sne We planted.

 Jenks had slunk into the house, leaving US to ourselves, and l was enabled to talk more freely.
 Look here, woman!" l eyclair, ed What in the name of heaven does all this mean? Speak, or by all that's holy I'll have you in jail before msrning!"
 My impassioned words had no effect upon her other than to make her weep piteously, and I waited until she had regained her composure some what and was able to talk coher- ently.
 You misjudge me, MT. Ware" she said. Indeed you do, sir. have com mitted no crime, sir, and l am doing al In my power to prevent one; for it would be a crime if it happened. although the law wouldn't call it so, sir
 She laid her hand on my shoulder respectfully and then, the old-fashion- ed, notherly way coming. over her, she continued in choking voice:
 You must do as ask, MT. Ware. Do not distrust me, beg of you, sir for have so much to bear and have borne it all so patiently and so willingly, too, sir. Remember ! have no fault to find, and am glad to have been able to do what I have done, sir, but the end is so near now that I cannot bear to have every. thing go for nothing at the last
 Her eyes were filled with tears, and, do what I might, ! could not doubt her honesty and sincerity. Before could speak, she went on hurriedly, looking about her Tn an apprehensive way:
 Just believe in me for a few days, sir, won't you? Do this for your own sake and for Miss Carney's and the other young ladys. You will never regret it, sir, I promise you; I swear It. sir, on everything hold sacred, and God knows I am churchwoman and live in fear of Him and His love Sir"
 For my life could do 10 more than she asked, and, after a moments hesitation, ! said slowly: i ,.I must trust you, Mrs. Bruce, but must tell you that do so against my best judgment dc net see how all these things can be explained sat isfactorily and they must be ey pletned soon ir every way. Still. I believe that you are sincere in what you tell me, and, for the present at least, will ask no more questions and rely upon you to fulfill your protesta- tions of good faith when the proper time comes. You will understand, Of course, that in spite of this promise I shall feel perfectly free at any time to take such steps in this matter as may deem necessary, and, while am willing to let things stand as they are now for a short time, I shall act promptly and effectively If

 "No,'' said the man, ''he didn't do huthin' to it, 'cept scratch tn dirt of tn top, an when he got a whiff of it guess it wuz all he wanted, fur when I seen him he was a-comin daown tn hill like th' old Nick WIZ after him. surmised what he'd been up to. an so I went back an covered it up again
 Thank God for that" she mur- n1ured, and you did not touch it Or open 1t yourself, did you, sam?"
 "No,' he replied q jest left it lay, like you've allus told me to do, an covered it up again 'thaout askin' no questions, one way nor tother. But I tell ye, Matilda, it's all goin' teh be known fore long, an I do wish ye'd tell me naow, fore it's too late'
 ''Yes.' I exclaimed, stepping sud denly before them, and I wish you'd tell me, too, Mrs Bruce"
 They sprang back in amazenlent, and for an instant I thought that Jenks was going to strike at me, but I continued earnestly:
 "I have come here as your friend tonight to ask and beg of you an ex- planation of this mystery that is up- setting the whole place l knew, Mrs. Bruce, that you can put everything to rights if you will, and I am prepared to do almost anything that you want me to If you will only made clean breast of the whole business I don't believe there's been any very great wrong on your part, Mrs. Bruce, d. though I must admit that I did think so at one time, and I want to say now that I am sincerely sorry for the man. her in which Dr. MacArdel and I treated you both last summer"
 They said nothing, and after paus- ing for moment, I continued:
 AS say, T come here as friend to ask you to explain this matter once and for all, or at least go away and leave us in peace
 "Oh, cant go away, sir," ex- claimed Mrs Bruce. T cant do that, sir, whatever you ask, and I can't tell you anything, either, for the pres ent, sir
 "Oh, nonsense," I cried impatient ly You can tell me just as well as not, and give You my word that you can trust me in every way if you will only take the right view of this thing and side with me in helping to rid Carney-Croft of all further an- noyance.'
 No" she returned, weeping silent ly. T cant tell you anything now, sir, although l say it with no disrespeet. Az you are a friend of Miss Carney and the other lady, don't ask it of me, ! beg"
 "The other lady?" I exclaimed in amazement, and with some sudden suspicion in my tone. Do you mean to say that you don't remember her name when you know her well enough
