GOLD DISAPPEARS.

It is no easier to tell where all the gold goes to than where all the nee dles and pins go to. Since the dis covery of this country, 13 billions of gold have been produced, of which 2 Billions have disappeared utterly, in spite of the fact that gold is more jealously guarded than any other pos session, not excepting life.
 A recent bulletin issued by the de- partment of commerce and labor, says that up to the year 1850 the average yearly yield of the mines of the world was worth about $12.O00,00 The rush of 'ls and the finding of gold in Aus tralia brought production over S100- 100000 a year In 1893 the 150 million line wes crossed. Tn 1s9e, 202 millions entered the worlds markets and last year t27 million dollars worth was dug from the earth. The distribution in round numbers Is:
 United States 1,613,o00, ,000; Germany 1,o44, o0o, ,o00; France 926,000 ,000; Rus sia s1T.000,o00; United Kingdom 565,- o00. .oo0; Austria Hungary 3O3,0o0,0O0; Italy 25S, ,000, ,000; Australia 159, ,000, ,0O0; i; Egypt 10000 900; Argentina 140, 900. . ooo; Turkey 1s2.0oo.O00 India 113, ,O0O,- 900: Japan s6.oO0,oo0; Canada 66,0O0.- 900; and Brazil 51,000,000.
 The theory that the worlds supply of gold is nearly exhausted does not find acceptance so long as the worlds product of gold is well maintained and new mines are constantly being found.

TIE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THE . PUNISHMENT

that what she said refreshed and en- couraged him. The deadening load which he had carried for years was frightened in her presence. Why he could not say. She was very good He had grown to love her. goodness Sometimes he thought that it was his contact with sinlessness which had made his own sin lighter, Sterling had not spoken since the day of his ar rival. Perhaps he would never speak again. It seemed that a life of devo- tion to Marcile would make amends for what he had done.
 The days drifted idly until the sum- mer was gone.
 Very soon," said Marcile one morn ing, as she and Roman wandered in the woods together. very soon you will have spent your holiday and will go back to the city and your work. ?
 If you will come with me-" said Roman, T will go back. If you will not, I will never go back again. My happiness depends on being near you. But as he waited eagerly for her an- swer, he heard Sterlings voice.
 You must tell her what you are,'
 Exceedingly. Roman gazed past the voice at Mareile. Her trustful eyes were upon him. She opened her lips to speak.
 Tell her." repeated Sterling.
 "Marcile." said Roman in despera- tion. T love you. but before you speak you must know my sin"
 Your sin?"
 "Marcile, once there were two struggling young fellows who went from here to make their fortunes. They had a desire to write. One was a genius, the other had only common ability, but they worked together. They starved and hoped and failed together until one day the genius stopped writing. The other found him lying back in his chair, his rigid fingers still gripping the pen-but there was manuscript on the table. After q while the other read it and 1t wal good. The writer was dead. Marcils that was my sin. That first book Of mine by which everything of mine has sold since. was not mine. It wal written by your father"
 You mean-you stole 1t ?" she whis- pered.
 He did not answer. There was noth- ing to say. He could not look up.
 After a long time he gained courage to raise his head. He was alone. The lead on his heart was intolerably heavy again and the loneliness waS deadening. In desperation he called on Sterling hercely.
 T could have made amends. Doss punishment last forever?' But even Sterling was silent.
 He was alone.-Boston Post.

Cold Facts.

Apropos of the Wirz monument dis- oussion, it is interesting to learn that by. the statistics of the confederate surgeon general the percentage of deaths among confederate prisoners in union prisons was greater than the percentage of deaths among union prisoners in confederate prisons, while by the figures given in the history of James Ford Rhodes the deaths in southern prisons exceeded those in the north by only two per cent.

l It was afternoon when Roman step- ped off the train and looked about him 1 The sunlight filtered through the quiet l trees that surrounded the station. It was all unchanged. although he had not seen the place for l2 years. T am here!" There was an impa- l tient weariness in Romans audible sc- l liloquy Are you satisfied ?s An idle station agent sat at lat ticed window
 Did you speak to me?" he asked. Roman did not hear him. He heard only that familiar voice of Sterling as it answered his question. Have you no wish to see my Roman had no desire to see her, for various reasons; but he was accus- toned to follow the suggestions of Sterling.
 You are Victor Roman?" he asked curiously. T thought you might be- but you're changed. The mark of travel--and success-is on you. What's the matter?"
 Roman had turned flushed face upon him, wondering that he had not heard Sterling's ironic laugh. I'm here," he explained, "to look up the daughter of an old friend-Ster- ling's daughter"
 The man nodded.
 'Sne lives WlIn her mother peO- pie, the Whittiers. Marcile's a good girl. Takes things too serious, think
 but she's like her father in that. Going to ride over?"
 Nc said Roman, I'll walk"
 The agent went to the end of the platform with him.
 "This town always kept an eye on you" he remarked, admiringly. When you left here no one thought you'd make such a name ion yourself How did you ever come to think of writing books, anyway
 Abruptly Roman set off alone. but by the time he reached the Whittier home strange calm pervaded him.
 Standing by the gate, he looked out over the green valley and the trees beyond.
 If there was rest for such man as I, 1t should be found here" he unused. Even happiness might come here"
 Someone was coming down the walk, and he turned to see who 1t was. A girl of IS stopped and looked at him seriously.

land shipments will be made with prop
