Ii took huu 20 little search. There
were hundreds Of ancient stones TO mark
the graves Of three or four past gener-
atiOns. Among these he looked in vain
fer the stone the courthouse janitOr had
described.
Other plain crosses there were. but
they bore the names Of Old families and
were themselves age worn.
When he had failed 10 find the grave
in the mere ancient section of the ceme-
terry. he turned e ard the newer por-
ton. For a while. this, too, was close
set with stones But he rambied about
among them for half an hour without
finding the one he sought.
At length he came 10 that part OF the
cemetery which was still but little used,
Most OF the graves were without marks

And then, far of in a remote corner
beneath the shade of an old apple tree
which remained undisturbed from the
days when this side OF the grade yard
was an orchard. he saw In the gather

Coming upon the spot he noted that

The black stone stood upon deep

A suggestion to headline writer's;
Let every American newspaper agree
that the office and dignity of the
chief magistrate of the country are
too great to be treated carelessiy III
the routine usage of the press and
that hereafter every headline In
which the word Taft" would have
been used shall contain the words
..the President" in lien thereof. This
use of the name TAFT without even
the courtesy prefix of "Mr." is char
acteristically American and not in
good taste at that-St. Adams Mes
senger.
The headline writer's apparent dis
courtesy in this case isn't all due to
carelessness. Many of the newspa-
pers have adopted such complicated
schemes in the building of headlines
that nearly every consideration has
been abandoned to meet the limits
of the column width. There are four
letters in the word Taft and thir-
teen In the TWO that the Messenger
would substitute. The headline bus
mess is badly overdone by large
number of newspapers. and it is
high time fer a reaction toward the
simple systems that prevailed before
the yellow fellows put their stamp
on the entire field OF journalism. The
neat but expressive headlines of the
Messenger would easily accommo-
date themselves to the reform which
that paper advocates and a scheme
of headings of similar proportions
would improve the appearance OF
many whose headline writer's are now
Obliged to adopt all kinds of conden-
sations in order 10 meet the require
ments Of the Individual Office rules.

New York, Dec 13.-Unloading and
disappointing cables from Liverpool
caused the cotton market to open
from 9 to ~ points lower this morn
ing, although the decline was soon
checked by buying.
The above dispatch sent out to the
afternoon papers yesterday is only
one of the many pointers continually
coming to the surface to indicate that
the law Of supply and demand in this
country has been superseded by the
law Of Wall street. The natural
causes, large production or small pro
duction, which formerly governed
the prices of not only the things we
raised but also the articles we man
ufactured. no longer figure in the rise
and fall of prices. In these days
prices go up when Wall street buys
on paper or go down when the gamb-
lers choose to sell. And the question
is. What are you going to do about
It?

en- up says The Gazette of yesterday
morning Active hostilities nave ex-
listed between the two railways ever
since year or SO ago when the
Grand Trunk, through the Central

track through TO Providence, II. |.
AS soon as the Grand Trunk force
started to get this extension Presi-
dent Mellen, Of the New Haven, de-
clared war, and pulled every politi-
cal and other wire possible to keep
the Canadian line out of that section
of New England. The fight waxed
fierce, but the people of Providence
and the section aimed at by the
Grand Trunk were practically unani-
nous that they wanted the line, and
the legislature granted the Grand
Trunk all it asked for.
AS the line had to go through a
corner of Massachusetts, the Grand
Trunk had to 90 to Boston to get leg
islatiye sanction for this, and again
the fight with the New Haven was
continued, the latter even taking the
ground that the Canadian line was an
interloper on its territory. Once
again the Grand Trunk won out, Sc
curing tall rights it demanded.
The Grand Trunk then started op-
erations on the extension to Provi-
dence and the whole line is now sur
veyed and everything in shape for
commencing construction work next
spring. In the meantime the New
Haven kept up the fight, and as a
move to aid in ousting the Grand
Trunk it secured control and opera

In continuation of this the New

gislature for permission to build a
line from South Vernon to Brattle-
boro, paralleing the Central Vermont
extension. And. further, they ask
power to condemn and take over
such Central Vermont stations and

there is only room for one road in

A RACE FOR BREAD.

A Southerner sends to the Compan-
ion a story of an adventure during
the Civil War in which the heroes
were two boys, the youngest only ten
years old. A load of wheat was hid
den under the floor of their uncle's
barn, about twelve miles northeast
from Richmond, and the boys volun-
teered to go and get it. 1t was in
August, 1868. They started with a
wagon and two good mules, ap-
preached the farm from the south
west, and made detour over bitches
and through fences because they did
not dare to go by the regular road.
The Federals were encamped about
two miles east.
We reached the barn without hav-
ing been seen, and driving into a
shed attached to the building, sue
ceeded in loading the grain, and Sc
cured the sacks by crossing ropes
tightly over the top, to the high sides
of the wagon.
To reach the Richmond road we
had to drive within sight of the Yam
kee camp. At this point the road
turned at right angles toward the
south. We had put ropes round the
axles next the shoulder, so as to stop
the "chuck" of the wheels, and SO
reached this turn without being seen,
but had travelled only short dis
tance on the old station road when
we found that we had been discov-
cred, and could see a party of horse
men coming after US at a rapid pace.
My cousin, who was an expert dri-
YER, although 80 young. told me to

and not so much as big cake. I,feel
for Tom. Never mind, old fellow, you
see she never was at school"
They had both turned round their
anxious faces to him as he came in.
They were instinctiyely jealous of
him. Yet both turned with a certain
relief, or at least Tom did so, who
was aware that Beau was one of his
own faction, man, against the sway
Of the everlasting feminine. Janet
took the hand which the mother had
stretched out toward her boy and
clung to it, drawing herself close into
Lady Cars skirts. Beau was not Of
her faction in any sense of the word.
The little girl pulled her mothers
face toward her, and whispered her
tale into Carry's ear.
"To have your tea upstairs! Why
doesn't he want to be with us, dear,
after being away SO long? You shall
have what you like best, my dear
children, if you really prefer the nur-
sery to the drawing room and my
company"
HE says they have this kind of
JAM" said Janet in her mothers ear,
"and do whatever they like" she
added after pause.
Lady Car gave her husband a look
which the children noted though they
did not understand. There was a
slight appeal in it. and some relief.
He had said that she must keep them
with her, as much as if he had not
been there; that he would not sepa-
rate her, not for an hour, not for
meal, from her children; and she had
thought it her duty to have them
there, though their presence and his
together kept Carry in a harassed
consciousness of the two claims upon
her. They concluded that mother
was not angry with great relief: but
they did not understand the guilty
satisfaction of Garry in finding that
they liked the nursery the best.

Candy and Athletics.

The value of sweets as part OF
the daily ration of the soldier is Wen
known. Now the director of the gym
nasium of the University of Michigan
announces that sweets shall figure IN
the menu of men in athletic training.
They must be pure sweets, however,
and the director declares that II THIS
purity is assured they make good
muscles, clear eyes, good complexlons,
good digestions, good men. The dl-
rector's recommendation is backed by
the leading coach of the school, who
has gone so far as to tell the girls OF
the basketball team to eat all the
pure confectionery they desire. This
does not mean that gum drops are to
be carried on the football field, as
arctic explorers carry them into the
regions of ice. This ruling, however,
ought to be exceedingly popular
among the basketball teams of collie
giate young women. Washington

CHAPTER ".

The time of Toms holidays was
rather a holiday also for Beaufort,
| who, having got certain amount of
amusement out of his notebooks and
their mine of school life, was begin
think, under his breath, Whit little
prig and ass he had been in his boy
ish days, and how astounding it was
that Garry should take it all in with
such undoubting faith. He was lit
tie philosopher in his idle way, and
Garry began to be a sometimes dis
concerting but often amusing problem
to him. He laughed softly some
times when he was by himself to see
how seriously she took him, and how
much his youthful superiority i'm
pressed her. 1t had not been his in
tention when he again took up the
notebooks to increase, as he had GER
tainly done, her admiration and, con-
sequently, her expectations of him.
self. He had hoped, if anything, to
beguile her little from the pursuit
of results, to make her less in earnest
about the great work on which she
had set her heart. But this expedi-
ent had not succeeded. She was more
than ever bent upon the fulfilling of
that early promise which was so beau
tiful and so wonderful in her eyes.
Beaufort was half dattered, half
vexed by this result. 1t is hard to re-
sent a woman's admiration even if it
is of something which is no longer
yourself. 1t softened his heart, but it
unarmed him more than ever, as it
made her more and more sure.
He took advantage of Tom with a
little secret chuckle to himself behind
books. Tom amused this philosopher.
too. He liked to draw him out, to
watch the movements of character in
him, even to speculate as to what
kind of man 1t had been that had
produced this child. He must be like
his father, Beaufort said to himself,
without any sentiment even Of ami
mostly toward Carry's husband. Ger
tainly he had got the better Of that
man. He had obliterated Torrance,
as it were, from the face Of the earth;
but he had no such feeling as Carry
had about Torrance's life and Tor
RANGES money. He took it all much
more calmly than she could do, not
even thinking of the consciousness of
the mission which made him own all
his comfort and happiness to Tor
rance. Tom, however, was the sub
ject of various speculations in his
stepfather's mind. If this was what
the little Torrance was modified by
Lindons. what must the original have
been? And what would this one turn
to; an ordinary country gentleman,
no better or worse than his neigh
bors, or what? A vague sense in his
mind was that there might be future
trouble to carry in the child's develop
ment moved him mildly, for the dis
tance between childhood and man
hood seems so long looking forward,
though so short when we look back,
and any such danger must be far i'm
the future.
To be Continued.
