CHAPTER VII.

Alfred Cassagne was the son of a
large contractor, who had accumulated
a considerable fortune in the construction
of those remarkable docks in the city of
Havre, which have helped to make that
place the most important harbor of
France. He lost his father when a mere
child. His mother, dying when he was
but twenty-five years of age, had left
him amply provided for. But he had
never married. OF quite a studious turn
of mind, he had devoted himself to
books, and might possibly have degener-
ated into book worm, or have sunk so
low as to become an author, if an event
had not transpired which changed the
whole current of his existence.
He awoke one morning to find that the
cashier of bank where he usually had a
large balance, had absconded with the
funds of that institution. Where he had
gone, was equally mystery to the police
and the officers Of the concern. Having
considerable interest in the capture of the
fugitive, Cassagne set about making in
quiries on his own account. From these
Inquiries he quietly deduced his own the
cries, and one morning, to the intense
establishment of the chief of police he en-
tered the presence of that functionary
and stated his opinion on the case very
briefly. 1t was TO the effect that the
president Of the bank and the cashier
were in collision, and that the cashier.
whom most people believed to be by that
time safely In America, that Mecca for
European rogues, would be found hiding
In the presidents own private residence.
The chief Of police had laughed at first
but Alfred Cassagne was permitted to
proceed. 1t was known he was a gentle
man Of fortune; and men of means are
never snubbed very badly anywhere.
Very soon, moreover, the official grew
serious. BY a system of logical deduo-
ton from circumstances already known.
Cassagne established his theory on basis
so ingenious as to excite the chiefs warm.
est admiration. Subsequent search dis
covered that the state of things Cassagne
had believed to exist in theory, was really
true.
Alfred Cassagne might now possibly
have been forty years of age. though when
not disguised. owing to his smoothly
shaven face, he appeared to be younger.
He was rather above the middle height,
and though somewhat narrow across the
shoulders, the great depth of his chest
made ample amends for this deficiency.
His hair was cut very short to permit of
his more readily wearing the various wigs
by which he frequently concealed his iden-
tity. His mouth was well cut, the lips
thin and somewhat pursed together as
is often the habit with men who pass
much time in thinking. His nose was
large and very prominent. His hands
and feet small and rather delicate His

He could hardly repress a cry Of sur
prise He held his breath almost, so an1-
iously did he await the result of an ex-

Do not Taft and Sherman both know that

Do these candidates not know that their.
party's present majority in that body is
made up OF men who were elected by legis-
lative lobbies Of plutocratic combines against
the PEOPLE; men who were not and could
not have been elected by an open vote by
the People of their States, and that as law
makers they do not represent the People Of
any States, but that they are chosen by and
are serving interests that are she worst foes
of the People because the Senate seats they
buy give them laws that let them prey upon
the producers that constitute this country's
People.
Could Candidate Sherman seriously tell
his fellow citizens of New York State that
they, the People, are ruling through Platt
and Dspew, who now sit for them in the
Senate?
Would Taft go before the people of his
own State Of Ohio and tell them they are

How 10 Cure a Cold Sore.

Besides being more or less painful
and annoying. a cold sore IS most
disiguring to the face and mouth. The
best way in which TO cure this painful
little blister is to moisten It with cam
phor to dry 1t up Peroxide of hydro
gen also is an excellent remedy. and ii
may be applied by moistening q piece
Of absorbent cotton with the camphor
and then daubing it on the sore. or
else 1t may be applied with the tip of
the finger If a scab forms for any
reason. cold cream should he applied
literally to keep it soft and to prevent
it flem leaving a scar. One always
should be careful to prevent cold
sore from cracking or splitting open.

Katzenbach's Choice.
William Cloke in n. Y. Herald.

William Cloke in n. Y. Herald
The fact recently revealed that Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., the Democratic candidate
for governor last year, declared that he
would rather be right than be governor.
when approached by the Atlantic City poll
ticians and asked to pledge himself not to in
terfere with Sunday selling and similar Gus
toms in that place, if elected governor, will,
IN the opinion of many, make him the next
governor Of New jersey.
There was nothing theatrical or specta-
cular IN Mr.. katzenbach refusal. He was
very quiet, but very firm about it. He
simply SAID mo" III way they under
stood Il would rather not be governor, y
he said, than be elected in that way p
That was all, He did not go upon the
housetops and shout out TO the world how
firm and virtous be had been. In fact, he
never said word about it until questioned
last week by persons who bad gor an ink
ling of she matter from others And this
was not the only s'unholy alliance Mr.
Katzenbach was invited to make, and
which he rejected last year, as some bosses,
brewers and liquor men in Essex and Hud.
SON counties could testify.
Until last Monday, Mr. Cloke, who wrote
the above for the Herald, was a Riparian
Commissioner, then Governor Fort appoiD-
ted him Editor of State Documents at

said that the Brewers elected Mr.. Fort;
Atlantic City hotel keepers say Mr. Fort
promised them to pursue policy Of nom

and be HASN'T till the season was over. Mr..
Cloke, Republican writer, says Mr.. Kat
zenbach, when asked to close his eyes TO Az
lantic City's easy ways, in return for the
support of men Of easy ways said II
would rather not be governor than be cleo
ted that way, and Mr.. Katzenbach was
running On a Home Rule platform, and he
didn't interpret it as a license on Sunday
liquor selling. Neither did the Brewers, SO
they threw their support to Mr. Fort, and
Senator Hincheief says. elected him. We
know Republicans in this State do not fay

What Road will Yuu choose?

When one observes the changes in bust
ness methods and the growing demand for
experiences in every branch of commercial
and industrial life, he cannot fail to be i'm
pressed with she mistake that many young
men and young women are making who
are content with commonplace employment.
The business colleges of our country, to
which nearly everyone of ordinary intelIi-
gence and education can find entrance, are
doug wonderful service They supply
young men aud women whose circumstances
viii not permit them to go through college
wish an avenue to good positions Of trust
aud emoluneut
1t is claimed that of the various profess
sions there is none which has developed so
many successful men as those of steno-.
eraphy and seeresaryship, for, in these pro-
fessions one is at once brought iuto the
closest touch with business Affairs aud the
men at their head.
In view of these facts, aud many Others
that might he presented, it is surprising
that so many Of our Young people idle their
time in pool rooms, in loafiug in other time
wasting ways, with the far from pleasing
prospects of ending their days in drudgery
and under other deplorable conditions.
