IrT
cey's early trainini. old associations and
family ties compelled him invariably to
compare Met with his sister and his mother
always to the disadvantage of pretty Met
Larned. Jack was swayed by honesty of
purpose, and he resolved never to "make
love' to Met; being Jack Delanccy, he kept
his resolution.
But, nevertheless. Jack found H very
pleasant on Sunday afternoons to ride over
to the Ijarneds cottage, fire miles away, and
indulge in a chat with Metta. If he desired
excuse, he found it in the paper which came
to him with his mail every Saturday, and
which Metta liked to read. JacC discov
ered a keener satisfaction in taking tea
sapper, they call it in "Wyoming with
Metta than he had ever experienced in sip
ping souchong from dainty china cups in
London drawing rooms. Sletta's suppers
were substantial affairs delicious beelsteaks
and the lightest ot light hot bread, with but
ter that the dairy maids at Delancey Park
had never surpassed. Such meals were pe
culiarly appreciated by Jack after a long
week of tough meat, indifferent potatoes and
hardtack! And Jack reciprocated Metta's
hospitality whenever he journeved to Chey
enne as he frequently did by bringing the
girl a new novel or 'something pretty.' So
they became .good comrades, and both en
joyed amazingly the long quiet Sundav af
ternoons. But" their regard and esteem for
each other stopped just short of love; for,
alter three vears, Metta Larned's affection for
the Englishman was no deeper than was
Jack Delancey's liking for the girl.
TTnfnrtnnatelv. on the plains, as well as in
9 other nrimitive'and sparsely settled commu-
f cities, actions and words lrequently cause
more weight than they would do in large
" social centers. Therefore, Calvin Iiarned
) t iras not alone in surmising that Jack De-
' lancey intended, ultimately, to make Metta
- his wife. All 'the boys' looked upon such a
climax as a foregone conclusion, and even
Spencer Knight shared in the general
opinion. Indeed, this belief alone
1 prevented Knight himself from enter
. fng the race for Met Larned;
for the foreman, who had never ex
changed more than 20 sentences with Metta,
4 loved the girl with an affection which never
paused to make psychological estimate or
" social comparisons a love that was only
arpassed by his deep and undying loyalty
to Dclancev, for whose sake he kept his
' secret so well that not a living soul ever
' once dreamed of it
Cal Larned's derogatory remarks at the
'round-up' anent Jack Delancey were not
nearly so severe as his mental comments
upon the same live subject In his own
mind he thought that the Englishman had
been 'foolin' around' Metta quite long
enough.
One Sabbath, when Spencer Knight and
most of 'the boys' had gone over to Chey-
j - enne with a couple of hundred young steers
to ship by the railroad to Chicago, Delan
cey, as was his .custom on Sunday mornings
' in summer, brought his hammock outside
the long, low sh.Vnty, swung it on the shady
side of the building, lit his pipe, and
. stretched himseJ f out to enjoy the three-
years-old Jllustraed London Xews.
'Mornin', Jack.!' exclaimed a voice the
only voice whose .accents usually disgusted
Delancey.
'Good morning, replied Jack, lazily
looking up. He .noticed his visitor was
afoot, and added: lrou didn't walk over,
Larn'ea?'
2ot much, I didln t! I seen your barn
door open as I come up, an found a empty
stall; so I hitched my pony an gev him a
feed o your oats 'spote thet's all right?'
'Oh, certainly; you are very welcome,' said
Jack, as vexed as a man could well be with
Larned's take-it-for-granted style, but will
in? to tolerate the lellow for his daughter's
sake.
"Purty dry an dusty. Jack. Can't yer
pass the bottle, me son? A smell o rye or
Bourbon, or tven a couple o' fingers of gin,
wouldn't go bad.
'I don't like my men to use liquor, so do
not use it myself, and have none on the
place. You will find good spring water at
the well, yonder, and plenty of milk in the
cellar. That's the best I can do for you,
Larned. Help vourself.
But neither milk nor water possessed any
chaims for Cal Larned. He threw himself
lull length upon the rough bench which ran
along the shanty, and filled his mouth with
fine-cut tobacco which he chewed very care
fullyfor the space of five minutes. He then
succeeded in drowning a grasshopper some
17 leet away from him by a dexterous dis
charge of black juice, and proceeded di
rectly to the matter which just then ac
counted for his presence at the Delancey
Ranch. 'Comin' over to our place to-day,
Jack?'
Delanccv, in despair, threw down his pa
per and replied: 'Yes, I think so.'
'Well now, Jack, how long is it sence you
planted yourself down here?'
'About four years."
'So? How long was you here when I gev
yer a knock down to my gal?'
'Almost a year.'
'So? 'Well, now, I ain't much of a scholar,
so ef my calkerlations are wrong, kindly
ke-rect me. One year from four years leaves
three years, jsow, on yer own showin ,
vou'vebeen sparkin' Met for three years.
5fow, Jack, when are yer goin to marry
my gal?'
Jack sat up in his hammock and dangled
one leg on the ground. Slowly he repeated
Larned's words: 'When am I
going to marry your girl?
You mean, when shall I marry
Metta? You are not indulging in a con
foundedly poor joke, I hope, Larned?'
'Do I look as ef I wur a sky-larkin', or as
et I meant hizness? Ko, Jack Delancey,
I'm ask in' you a squar' quesching, an' ef
you're the man they say vou are, you'll gev
me a straight answer. How is it?'
'My good fellow, I have never made love
to your daughter for the very reason thai I
have never dreamt of marrying her. I have
every respect for Met, and esteem her very
much; but I have been particularly careful
to give her no false impressions. Besides, I
believe Metta and I understand each other
unite well. Metta'
'You speak foryerself, Delancey. Don't I
know all about her? Ain't I seen her change
in the last three years until she don't think
of nobody nor nuthin' but you ? Can't I see
low she's a-growin' sick an' weary of
waitin for yon to ax her?'
Jack put his other leg out of the ham
mock and with two of his big strides stood
over his would-be father-in-law. 'Tell me
one thing,' he said, in a tone of voice which
indicated that it would not he well for his
listener to tamper with him. 'Tell me the
truth, man, of your own child. Does Met
care all that about me, and does she really
believe that that I love her ?
'She does.
'So help you God?'
'See hereC Delancey, said Larned, clum
sily, rising to his feet; 'what do you take
me for? What do you suppose I care about
you? You .never used me half-way decent,
dnyhow. You an" yer keep-yer-distance,
yord-dook style! I ain't in love with you,
Snr fit vfr helnnrinpR- T know T nin't.
$ leneral favorite hereabouts. But Met's
kJS ' ioy gal, an I'm tier dad, an, curse me, De
lancey, ef I'm a-gom to stand by an' see her
heart broke an' the best years of her young
life fooled away by younor yit no other gay
rooster!'
'That will do,' f 3id Jack quietly. I care
nothing or your blusteringthreats. As you
say, there is" no love lost between you and
me. But there is that wbich I dislike even
more than Mr. Larned, and you will never
find me guilty of any dishonorable conduct
Yes, I will ride over this afternoon.'
Cal Lamed bad acted his part well, and
knew it He was fully aware that his point
was practically carried; for having succeeded
in influencing a man like Jack De
lancy, he knew it would be an
easy matter to mold Metta to
his will; so he indulged in considerable
chuckling as hi. shuffled off to mount his
pony and ride home.
A few days liter, Spencer Knight re
turned. In the evening, he and Delancey
strolled down to the creek to smoke an
after-supper pipe. 'Spence, said Jack,
'I am going to marry Metta Larned:
'Yes,' responded the other; 'weall thought
it would come to tbat I hope you will
both be very happy, Delancey.'
Curiously enough, each of the men, for
the first time in the course of their ac
quaintance, remarked a strange glumness
in me other, aney not only remarked it.
bat both remembered it very vividly. There I
was no gladness about Delancey's announce
ment, and Knight's congratulatory reply
had a counterfeit ring about it
'Next Mondav,' said Jack after a pause,
'I shall start forhome to make the folks oyer
there a visit before settling down for life.
You will stay and take care of things for me
while I am gone, won't you, Spence? I
shall not be away more than a couple of
months, and during that time I should like
to have the carpenters over from Cheyenne
and run up a comfortable cottage over yon
der by the poplars. Consult Metta as much
as possible.' .
Delancey spoke so mechanically that
Knight knew, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that somethiug was wrong. But he
made no inquiries.
'All right, Delancey; and when you re
turn I shail ask for leave of absence for a
similar purpose. Like yourself, I am an
Englishman. There was a little unpleasant
ness in our family which induced me to lo
cate in the West some 12 years ago. The
other day I saw an old friend of mine, who
was passing through Cheyenne. "We talked
matters over, and I think past differences
can now be adjusted. However, I will not
pester you with my affairs to-night
Somehow or other, Jack Delancey was
absent from his ranch eight months instead
of two; so that the following summer had
commenced by the time he returned to his
"Western quarters.
'We will leave business until to-morrow,
Spence,' said Jack, as he and his First
Lieutenant sauntered toward the creek.
'Let us talk of other matters to-night'
As a matter of fact, they said nothing at
all for almost half an hour. Then Delancey
snoke: 'How is Metta? I have heard noth
ing from her lor two months. I told her
not to write, as I was so uncertain about
starting. How is she?'
'Metta is well, very well.'
Silence again, broken this time by
Knight: 'Delancey?' Both men paused
in their walk, and Jack puffed violently at
his pipe. 'You picked me up a stranger,
and treated me like the 'white man' that
you are. You had faith in my manhood,
and you have trusted me implicitly. Have
I justified your confidence?'
"Yon have, Spence a thousand times
over, bor. Here is my hand on it'
'Thanks, Delancey. Now trust me a little
more, and believe that I would not pry into
your private affairs for the mere sake of be
ing meddlesome, or to wound you. May I
go ahead?'
'Surely. Let us sit on this boulder."
'Delancey, you jnst asked about Metta.
You do not love that girl. I knew it the
night that we were last on this spot, when
vou told me of your engagement to her.
You will never be really happy with Metta
for your wife.'
'Stop,' said Jack, with a faint smile.
'This question is undebatable. I have asked
Metta to marry me, and it is utterly impos
sible to disenss the matter.'
'But,' persisted Knight you love with all
your heart and soul another woman. You
cannot deny that yon do not desire to deny
it You love, as you can never hope to love
Metta, my sister Florence.'
'Nonsense, Spence! Lady Florence
Jvmghton your sister?
'The very same. You see, my dear fel
low, I too "am an "honorable." It was a
rather shabby trick on your part, Delancey,
to go over there and lose your heart to my
sister, while you kept me all these months
waiting to become reconciled to my father.
But, to return to our subject You not
only fell desperately in love with lo, but
you have stolen the poor girl's heart away
Irom her.'
Indeed, Spence, I have been strictly hon
orable in this matter. While at home I
made no secret of my engagement, and
studiously avoided anything like a flirta
tion with Lady Florence. We were thrown
much together, and I confess Well,
that makes no difference; I am here to keep
my word with Metta.'
I admit, Delancey,' said Knighton,rather
comically, 'that in the presence of my sister
vou tried your best to behave like a sphynx;
hut I have it on the authority of mv mar
ried sister your attempt was a signal fail
ure; while, as for Florence, she has made a
clean confession to her sister. Now, are
you going to nuke Flo miserable as well as
yoursel.?"
'I am grieved to learn,' muttered Jack,
that I have unintentionally caused your sis
ter temporary distress. But as for myself
I think a fellow need not feel particularly
miserable in living np to his word. No; I
shall marry Metta Larned."
'Wait a while,' continued Knighton, lay
ing his hand upon his friend's shoulder.
'Metta Larned does not love you! What do
you say to that?"
Possibly so. But how do you know that
to be the case."
'Because why er (you haven't a pistol
about you, Delancey?; Well, the fact
is that Met loves me, and I love her; and if
you do not seriously object, we should both
of us like to release you from your engage
ment! Yes, he went on, 'I suppose you
ought to demand an explanation and satisiac
tion from me for robbing you of your affi
anced bride. But I did not begin the rob
bery until I was tolerably sure that I
shouldn't be striking you very bard. As I
said, I surmised a good deal when you went
away, and I learned much more betore you
started for home. A month ago Cal Larned
died gored by a young bull and be
fore his death, he confessed to
me that he had terrorized Met and
played a "bluff game" with you. You are
not very angry, are you, Delancey?'
Jack certainly did not loot very angry,
and he grasped his friend's hand and shook
it with remarkable vigor.
The Hon. Spencer Knighton is still known
as Spence Knight on the Delancey ranch,
of which he is sole proprietor; but Jack De
lancey, of Wyoming, is no more, his friends
having rechristened that gentleman with his
old name when he settled down to the pleas
ant life of an English country Squire.
A SEWEE PIPE MAN
Ham Somrlhloc to Say About the New
Pitttbars find Western Branch Road,
D. E Hill, of Akron, tho oldest sewer pipe
manufacturer in the country, was at the Ander
son last night During trie evening Mr. Hill
had quite a lengthy interview with William
Semple, Jr., of Allegheny, in reference to the
Pittsburg, Akron and Western Railroad, in
which the first named gentleman is interested
in eTery way except financially. During a con
versation with a Dispatch representative Mr.
Hill said: "Akron is a town which curiously
enough never has what may lie called a
boom,' nor has it ever experienced dnll
times. Whether the introduction of the new
line, which has a new feature to us in its run
nine from East to West instead of U orth and
South, as is the case with every other road
touching Akron, may change these conditions
or not I am unable to say at present. Indeed
there is really so little known of the road in our
town that we have doubts at times if it has anv
existence so far bejond seeding engineers to
survey tho route.
It is said that the road is already underway,
however. Little is known our way of the pro
posed Baltimore and Ohio-Pittsburg and West
ern combine, the purchase of the Valley route
which parses through our town addinga feature
to the deal that makes it more difficult to
answer than ever."

CALLS FOR AMENDMEHT.
Local Minds Dissecting nnd Dlscnislnc
Plans to Get Around tho Gross-iUcCon-nell
Will Trouble Building Associations
Interested A Mutter of Much Moment.
The decision of the Supreme Court that
Mrs. Matilda Gross McConnell cannot sell
her property, even if she were given it in fee
simple, has set a great many people to think
ing, and some of them have decided that
something must be done to get around that
decision.
A good many questions present them
selves. One of them is an inquiry as to
whether Mrs. Gross had any other heirs that
would have inherited by law had not the will
besu made in favor of Mrs. McConnell, and
how they will be affected in case of the possi
bility of Mrs. McConnell's children dylnff be
fore her and she nnable to dispose of the prop
erty ? The supposition of a failure of heirs is,
of course, far fetched, but such case is among
the possibilities.
It is thought there will be devised some
method of curing the defect, but meantime
some stockholders in building and loan associa
tions are in a cold sweat People have boueht
lots and can get the purchase money back, but
they have also built houses on those lots and
have been furnished the money by building
and loan societies, and tho query is bow tbeso
associations are going to get their money back.
Take it all in all there are a goodly number ot
people who wish they had never beard of tbat
decision, and, though admitting it to be good
law, they point to the possibility of its eating a
rich woman's substance up and eventually
making her poor. As it is. the property will
not pay as alarm, and it cannot even be con
verted Into a park, and 50 acres that ought to
be built up are likely to lie a howling waste for
an indefinite time. Some have suggested that
Mrs. McConnell be made a femme sole trader,
but tbey are not satisfied that this would afford
any substantial relief.
H01IE TALENT FOE THE PLiCE;
An Alleghenian In View for the First Car
nesle Librarian.
Common Council, of Allegheny, will meet on
next Tuesday evening and take action upon the
two ordinances governing the Carnegie Free
Library, and select Council will meet in special
session tbe next evening to consider the same
ordinances. A quiet movement is on foot on
the Northside to Induce Mr. William N. How
ard to allow the use of his name as a candidate
for the office of Librarian. Although In no
; enso a politician, Mr. Howard has given a
qualified consent to the importunities of his
friends and will be a candidate.
Mr. Howard is a graduate of Washington
and Jefferson College, and was for several
vears President of tho Mercantile Library of
Pittsburg. He bas had a fine business training
as a member of the firm of Howard, Childs it
Co., and is between 45 and 50 years of age. Ho
has been an omnivorous reader, and being pos
sessed of ample means bas had both leisure
and money to devote to acquiring the widest
familiarity with all branches of literature.
Even if he became the librarian, the salary
proposed by ordinance would have very little
weight with him. as he would make it a labor
of love. It is argued that Allegheny City
should show by the choice of one of her citizens
that there was no necessity of importing talent
to meet the requirements of such a position.
HOT A JUST CRITICISM.
Mr. Carnegie Duly nnd Officially Notified by
Councils of tho Firt Mediae of the LI.
brnry Commission LUIzen Commission'
crs Also Asked to Attend A Clcnr State
ment. A gentleman who is a member ol the Car
negie Free Library Commission, the other
day informed a reporter for The Dispatch
that he believed Mr. Carnegie had been dis
courteously treated in not being officially
notified ot the first meeting of the commis
sion. He claimed that Mr. Carnegie was
surprised, and said the proper way would
have been to forward the ordinance and
await bis pleasure before holding a meeting.
The criticism of the gentleman considerably
surprised other members of the commission,
and yesterday a reporter sought John M.
Lambie, Esq , to ascertain the facts in the
matter. Mr. Lambie said he could not un
derstand how a member of the commission
should make such statements as set forth
in the interview. Continuing, he said:
Tbe gentleman must have erred when be said
Mr. Carnegie was surprised by the non-receipt
of an official notice of tbe meeting called for
Wednesday last. Last Saturday Clerk Shen
pardsentto Mr. Carnegie certified copies of
the ordinance and vote of thanks tendered by
Councils, together with an official notice of the
meeting to be held the following Wednesday.
In addition bo prepared notices of tbe meeting
for members of the commission, and mailed
them on Saturday. On'Monday Clerk Sheppard
received a telegram from Mr. Carnegie stating
tbat business engagements prevented his at
tendance, and asked tbat the meeting be post
poned until the week following. In accordance
with this request, without waiting until tho
time fixed lor the meeting, Mr. Sheppard im
mediately complied with Mr. Carnegie's re
quest, and notinecVhim and all the members of
tbe commission of tbe postponement One or
two of tbe Citizen Commissioners called on
Clerk Sheppard in relation to the matter after
having received the clerk's call.
The gentleman also erred in relation to se
lection of members of the commission. Mr.
Carnegie designated bis commissioners when
he made tbe library proposition to Councils.
Instead of being discourteous to either tbe
generous donor or his commissioners, the
Councilmanic members exercised both care
and diligence in properly notifying them of the
first lneetinc and were and are anxious to se
cure a full attendance. One-third of the com
mission had a perfect right to call meetings
and to adjourn to any set time, but have no
right to transact any other business. Perhaps
iuc memoer quoiea laueu to receive nis notice.
If he did tbe mails are to blame, not Clerk
Sheppard or the Councilmanic members of the

MRS. GEEEN STILL OBJECTS
To the Sale of SectlouSl to tho Grant Loco
motive Works.
Chicago, March 7. Hrs. Heltv Green
and the other objectors of the sale of Section
21, of Cicero, to the Grant Locomotive
Works, have got into the Supreme Court
without giving the bond of $100,000, as re
quired by Judge Collins. They took out a
writ of error. Had they appealed and given
a bond the locomotive works could not have
gone on building on the land. Having ob
tained a writ of error, the works can pro
ceed, but must restore the land, if the Su
preme Court decides against it. The works
executed a mortgage of $350,000 on the land
to the New York Life Insurance Company,
and by an order entered by Judge Collins
to-day this com pan v is to have a first lien on
the lund of $602,000 paid into court by
George M. Bogue, if the Supreme Court de
cides adversely to the sale.
Mrs. Green also filed a bill in the Circuit
Court to-day to review Judge Collins' decree
against her in the Section 21 case. She
claims that the decree was contrary to the
law and fact, and erroneous in several
respects.

Rowland Leach Is Discovered to bo In Chi
cngo. Chicago, March 7. "Rowland Leach,
the traveling agent for a New York whole
sale millinery house, has been found.
Where he is, however, none are in a position
to know or tell. The fact that he had been
discovered, and that he is in his usual good
health, was made known to the city detec
tive force, and to the Pinkertou detectives
by telephone. Orders were given at the
same time to stop all work on tbe case.
The telephone message purported to come
from the Palmer House, but the clerks there
professed to know nothing about the matter.
Leach, it is believed, was located in a house
on Wabash avenue, some distance from the
center of the city.
Cougliin!
IS Nature's effort to expel foreign sub
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It assists
Nature in ejecting tho mueus allays
irritation, induces repose, and is tho
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
public, for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred' diseases, thero
is none, within the range of my experi
ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Teo
toral. For years I was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad
vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and
to lay all other remedies aside.. I did
80, and within a week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then I have
always kept this preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure."
Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"A few years ago I took a severe cold
which affected my lungs. I had a ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for the
recovery of my strength. By the con
tinual use of tne Pectoral, a permanent,
cure was effected." Horace Fairbrother,

LIFE A BURDEN.
The Personal Statement Made
Mr. James Moore.
bv
A GREAT WORK COMPLETED
Mr. James Moore.a resident of Redmond's
Mills, Pa., during a recent interview with
the writer, had the following to say about
his successful treatment with Drs. Copeland
and Blair:
"When I called at the office on Sixth ave
nue, I found Dr. "W. H. Copeland person
ally in charge of his extensive practice, not
an assistant or substitute, as is the case in
many other offices in the city. I was in a
very serious condition at that time, and had
been suffering greatly lor over six weeks.
My trouble had grown on me until I was so
weak and miserable tbat I felt as though
life had become a burden. My head would
stop up and my nostrils become clogged, first
on one side and then on the other. There
was a constant dropping from my head to
my throat. This was especially bad at
night. I would often have to sit up in bed
for hours. When I would lie down the
mucus would gather in my throat ana cause
a smothering sensation. I would get up in
the morning feeling more tired than when I
went to bed the night before. I was con
stantly hawking and spitting during the
dav.
Mr. James Moore, Redmond's Mills, Pa.
"There were ringing and buzzing noises in
my ears. My throat became worse, and for
three months I was unable .to take anything
but liquid nourishment. I was advised to go to
Drs. Copeland & Blair. I found their charges
even lower than patent medicines, so placed
m self under tbeir care.
"1 had not been under their treatment more
than two weeks when I noticed a decided
change in my condition, and I now feel as well
as I ever did.
The dropping from my head has stopped.
My throat is no longer sore, and I can eat with
out difficulty. My head is clear, and the ring
ing in my ears has ceased. To state it briefly,
I am now free from the symptoms I name, and
owe my recovery to Drs. Copeland & Blair."
Mr. Moore lives, as stated, at Redmond's
Mills, Fa., and this interview can be readily
verified.
As bas been stated in previous issues of this
paper. Dr. W. H. Copeland has made this city
bis permanent home, and is personally in
charge of his extensive practice.
HOME TREATMENT.
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa,, in
speaking of his catarrhal trouble, said: My
head was stopped up. My tbroat, chest and
lungs affected, and I bad lost all sense of taste
and smell, when I was advised to try Drs. Cope
land it Blair. The result was a surprise to me.
I?m now perfectly well, and owe my recovery
to their treatment.
Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hnlton,
Allegheny county. Pa., commenced a course of
home treatment for his catarrhal trouble, un
der the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair.
At that time his trouble bad assumed a very
aggravated form. He stated to the writer as
follows:
"My nostrils wonld clog up. My head ached
constantly. I had severe pains in my cbest.
There was a dropping of mucus from my head
to my throat. I had night sweats. My heart
would palpitate rapidly, and bo followed by a
slow, irregular beating and feeling ot f aintness.
I was daily growing weaker. The slightest ex
ertion tired me and X was unfit for work."
"How do you feel now?"
"Like another being. All tbe symptoms I
have described to you have disappeared, and I
feel as well as I ever did in my life."
