Few houses were better adapted for
the accommodation of ghosts than the
old Blllop homstead. Two michthy
trees cant a shadow over It even at
noonday: and Its cavernous cellar and
down in front but fell away quite
abruptly behind and n the sides. On
the right side, almost beneath the roots
of the butternut tree, a small natural
cave entered the roeky soil; it had been
artificially enlarged so as to shelter the
wanons and tools when the ham was
overfull of produce. The barn stood
further down the slope, near the mea
dow, and was itself a delightfully mys
terious and scary place; both the cave
and the barn had been highly prized
by generation of Killop children, as
well as by their mothers when, in rainy
weather, they wanted to have some
peace In the house. "May we play In
the barn, or the cave, mother?" was a
reouest seldom i t fused. Sometimes, no
doubt, the children played ghosts, till
they were ready to expire with delight
ful creeps and horrors, and thus con
tinued among ' themselves the weird
lcngends which came down from gener
ation to generation.
When Tom l.lnton, aged eleven, took
up his abode at the house, Nellie Brent
was a mere baby. Just able to walk and
uttera few Orpric words; so he had
to do the most of his playing by him
self. Hut he was a boy of unusual re
sources and genius; and as his teuacy
of the premises was, unfortunately,
brief, and his fate grievous, we must
make him as distinct as possible while
he lasts. He had the energy and vi
tality of a whole school at noon recess,
u'ul was as sensational as indomitable
in his manifestations as were Ilobln
Hand and his. merry men in Sherwood
forest. He neither feared ghosts nor
believed in .them; but his noises and
surprises were more terrible than a bat
talion of tho dlsincarnate. He was on
the Jump from morning Hill night,
arms. legs, lungs and brains In full
function: he was the cleverest pupil in
the school, though of none of them did
the master have less hope of evolving
a sober and useful citizen. He was In
evitably the center of all mischief as
t'te hub is the center of the wheel: ami
though nobody could help liking the
young rascal, he was so good-tempered,
amusing, and (fo to say) contagious,
yet all shook their heads over him. and
o;i;m d that his future looked omin
ous. Xanry only, who suffered most
from his outrageousness. not merely
loved him with all her heart, but had
faith in his final triumph over all evil;
she continued to believe In him, in the
teeth of all evidence, when his misfor
tune came upon him; and. when, at
last, the poor little drowned body was
picked out of the river, she thanked the
Lord, on her knees, through her sobs,
that she had never harbored an un
charitable thought towards him. This
Is how it came about.
There was one person In the parish
with whom Turn w:A at onen war
I,awyer Corvln. His aversion from
him, Instinctive at first, was confirmed
by what he heard anil croditcd as to his
shady conduct toward his deceased un
cle. Tom expected. In due season, to
become the master of Blllop's; and then
he. meant to take It out of Lawyer Cor
vln! Meanwhile, Corvln had a son,
Peter, about Tom's size; Peter was a
"lion'l Cry, Mommy."
bully; he was once Incautious enough
to get into a fuss with Tom, and the lat
ter thrashed him with uch Joy and
thoroughness (as much on the lawyer's
account as on Peter's) that Peter
Ceased from that day to become a bully,
and became a sneak.
One day a lot of tho boys, Tom and
Perer among them, went In bathing at
the ford in Fen Brook. Peter took oc
casion to remark that Tom was a pau
per anyhow.and that his (Peter's) father
could sell him and his old aunt out to
morrow If he choose. The moment he
selected for saying this was when he
was standing dressed on the bank, and
Tom was swimming naked In the mid
dle of the stream. Tom, as he made
his way with all possible speed towards
shore, was heard to retort that Lawyer
Corvin'i money was not his own, and
that one of these days he would wake
up and find that he was a pauper him
self. (As Tom approached the landing,
with obvious designs upon Peter's per
son,' the latter took to flight; Tom pur
sued him as far as his own undraped
plight made decorous, and then came
back kith an expression significant of
vengeance to come. Apparently, how
ever, he soon forgot all about the mat
ter, and parted from his companions
with his wonted good-humor.
But next morning a rumor ran that
lawyer Corvln's house had been ne
tered and robbed during the night; the
boys discussed It outside the school
houxe, and Peter, when he came up,
confirmed It, and upon being asked
whether anything were known of the
thieves, put a. very pregnant look, and
aid he guessed something would be

known before lonK. The master came;
the boys took their seats, but it was
found that Tom was absent, not. unfor
tunately, a rare occurrence. Hut Peter
looked more mrnrlntia than ever.
School lot out at noon. They swarmed
,. 1 forth Into the elm-shadowed country
Why. it was John Hlggins. the consta
ble! And there was Nancy Blllop fol
lowing on behind, with tears streaming
down her plump cheeks. What did it
all mean?
It meant, alas, that Tom had been ar
rested for the robbery. His Jacknife
had been found on the ledge of the back
window, which had 'been forced. The
threat which he had made the day be
fore was remembered Hut all this anil
more would have weighed nothing, hud
not an overwhelming piece of evidence
come to light In Tom's pocket: nothing
less than a wad of bank notes which
Lawyer Corvln proved he had drawn
out of the bank the morning previous;'
The Voji Were Hone..
as well as several coins and a gold
ring, likewise his properly What could
be opposed to such testimony ns this?
The boy put a bold face on the mat
ter, he admitted that he had been out
a good part of the night, but he said
he had been laying traps for wood
chucks, ille could not explain about
his knife, except that he had lost It
some days before. As to the terrible
contents of his pockets, he vehemently
professed to know nothing about It;
'but he was quite sure he had never been
near Lawyer Corvin's. . It was but a
poor defence, and it was evident that
his many friend were disappointed.
As Tom looked round the little room in
which the preliminary examination
was held, there were no eyes to meet
his own with encouragement nnd faith.
Vet his self-command could not have
faltered but for a sound of stilled sob
bing that reached his ears, lie looked
round, and there was Nancy,
'".My darling good boy!" she cried out.
"I know you didn't do It, if an angel
was to sit right there and say you did!
If they send, you to prison, I'll go too,
nnd Nellie with me! You was always
the best boy in the world, and I'll lay
down my life for you, I will, sooner
than let them, wrong you I don't care
who they are!"
So the old (Ire In the Blllop blood
flashed out again, even in gentle Nancy.
Tom, remembering how far from con
siderate he had too often been to this
beloved woman who loved him so, could
not any longer keep the tears from
raining down his stubborn brown phiz;
and with a suddenness that discon
certed .Mr. Higgins who, however sec
retly wished the boy had spread a pair
of wings and down out of harm's way
altogether he Jumped over the high
backed bench that stood between him
and her. and threw his arms around
her comfortable shoulders, and pushed
his cheek against hers, and gulped out,
"Ixm't you cry, mammy; they can't
hurt me Inside for I. didn't do It: and
goln' to pris'n's nothing,' If you know
you're all right. You'll see if I don't
mnke somebody sweat for this yet! I
love you, you dear, nnd t wish I'd al
ways done what you wanted me!"
This, as the newspapers would say,
created a visible impression favorable
to the prisoner. i.Mr. Corvln, after a
pause, observed that nobody would be
more pleased than himself if Tom Lin
ton succeeded In establishing his Inno
cence; at the same time, until tho facts
before them were satisfactorily ex
plained. Justice to all parties required
that the prisoner be kept In custody.
He had no doubt Mr. Hlpplns would
make him very comfortable. Still,
stealing was stealing, and the law Was
bound to take action according to the
evidence brought before it.
Then said the unlucky Tom, with a
flash in his eyes, "If you was to tell
how you got your money, may be you'd
bp going to Jail for stealing' 'stead of
me!"
That settled the question of ball; the
magistrate said he thought It would be
best to let, Mr. Hlggins retain charge of
the prisoner for the present. In fact,
everybody except Tom was more or less
afraid of Lawyer Corvln; and really. It
was dlfllcult to see how Tom could be
otherwise than guilty.
Accordingly!, tlie worthy constable
conveyed Tom to the village lock-up,
which was a room In the disused water
mill below the falls. Fenbrook was a
law-abiding community, and the lock
up was empty three hundred and fifty
days in the year; but this night it hap
pened to contain another boy. a young
tramp, who had been caught a while
bofoie tn somebody's henhouse, and
who was awaiting transference to the
house of correction In the neighboring
town,
It was an error of Judgment on Mr.
Higglns' part to put the two boys to
gether. One boy Is slippery enough:
but there. Is no place thut two boys,
working' together, cannot get out of.
It may be that Mr. Higglns thought of
this, but chose not to act upon the
knowledge.
Hut, as people afterwnrds said, If ho
meant to give Tom a chance, he only
succeeded in fixing his doom.
The next morning, when the consta
ble opened the door to give his prison
ers their breakfast, ho found a hole In
the roof hardly big enough for a cat to
get through, but no boys.
The tramp, -whom -tictlmdy was con
cerned about, seems to have got clear
off: why' rouM .ho ''not have been
drowned Instead of Tom? It Is to be
feared that.Nancj', In the anguish of
her heart, asked the Lord of heaven
and earth that question, r
The body, almost unrecognizable save
by 'the clothes, was found ten (lavs
later; TMie boy had tried to swim the
river, probably Intending to get down to
the ca-coas,t. nnd perhaps ship as a
cabin-boy In Fome rmttvnri'-bound ves
sel. It was the spring of the year, and
a latu florid had swollen the stream and
carried away the bridge. Tom waa a.
wnn niy nanu restine on rum aniuumiT:
stout swimmer: but a floating tree may
have overwhelmed him; at any rate he
was gone.
The whole village had turned out for
the funeral. They felt, somehow, res
ponsible for poor Tom's death. Lawyer
Corvln was there, too, looking properly
down-cast. But when, at toe grave,
Nancy lifted her tear-stained face and
tlxed her eyes, which always were so
kindly, upon him; he turned pale and
got 'behind the others, and slipped
away. He could not meet that look;
ami yet, what had he done that any
body in his place could have helped
doing?
Nancy and little Nellie lived alone
In the old house, and things went 111
with them. Hut at last, when Nancy
waa about eleven years old, a mysteri
ous event happened.

ders and have a large force of men at
work. The luiitge and construction de
partment Is very busy and making
large shipments. The frog, switch nnd
signal department Is very active and has
day and night turns at work. The ship
ments for the past week were very
heavy: 10.400 tons of steel were shipped
from the upper yards during the month
of August. The receipts of raw ma
terial continue heavy.
To hasten the work In the Ebervale
mines the Jeddo Tunnel company have
decided to drive another tunnel, about
forty-seven feet In length, and work on
the same will be commenced Immedi
ately. This tunnel Is Intended to drain
the lower lift, for which nine bore hides
have been sunk. This process has been
too slow, however, and so much trouble
has been experienced by these holes be
coming blocked up, that the driving of
a tunnel has been decided upon. The
company nre also anxious to ascertain
Just how much water still remains in
the mine.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York. 6eipt. 23. Stocks ruled
strong today, owing to a general belief
that the gold shipments wer over for
the season. The statements by Laxard
Freres to this effect and the increase
in the supply of commercial bills, while
flight, tend to confirm this theory.
The favorable reports of the northwest
road for August and rumors of an
other advance in the price of anthra

and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
ing health comes alno.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration arc in nine cases out often "the
cry of the starved nerves for food." If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. It ia bad
practice to put the nerves to sleen with so
called celery mixtures, coca compounds or
tnalt extracts : what ia needed is a blood
maker. The " Discovery " is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an es
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo
ple. Dr. Pierce's Qplden Medical Discov
ery cannot le equaled. Thousands have
testified to its merits.
