there was something about the look In
his eyes, and his Reneral bearing, that
Inspired conililence. iAt all events, she
unfolded her frullelera heart, and In the
course of half an hour had told him ut
least as much of her history as the pa
tient reader has learned In all these
painful days. 'Nellie, after studying the
young man with the silent profoundly
of childhood for Hen or fifteen minutes,
had also decided to like hlni. and had
presented him With a bunch of gor

"I'm not a skfptlc, nor an Infidel,

I don't know how you'd get around

"Is what I hear In the village true
that Matthew Billop disappeared mys

was never known?"
"Yes. but he's dead, poor MaM. I

"Come." said Nelli. with nn air of

all unsuspicious of astonishment awalt
Inir him, was admitted ei; the frmvt.
"Well, Nellie, 1 Mipiinse y.ui don't re

coniiamlon.
"No; but I reniein'ber I liked him."
f.x'tl Nellie; "and n.aminy fc'.is told nie
lots of things about him. He used to
play robber In t.he cave, and monkey

get up the trees with a rope. 1 have
never been up."
"Hut you've played In the cave, I sup-
HFe?"
"Yes. a little: but I don't like It much,
because Its dark, and smells dampy.
If I'd had Tom. may be I wouldn't have
minded so much."
"Are you afraid of ghosts. Nellie?"
"Not when they really come, us they
did last night. I am a little afraid,
sometimes, when mammy tells stories
about 'em before we go to bed. Hut
mally I think ghosts are fairies, don't
you ?"
"I should think likely. So this Is the
robber cave? 'Let's bo III. I have wux
mutches, so It wxm't be dark."
The cave, as a mere natural phenom
enon, was certainly not very Interest
ing. It was much in need of a boyish
invagination to liven it up. It. was too
low to allow of iMr. Morford' walking
upright In it; and the Hour was littered
with ancient rubbish, and with the de
cayed remains of a pnloeozolc cart.
After creeping Inwardsfor ten or twelve
paces, they turned a corner, and Nellie
showed signs of reluctance. The little
wax taper, burning In its socket In the
vMver mutch-ttox. showed what looked
like queer. Irregular pillars nml rafters;
they wrre really straggling roots of the
hi butternut tree overhead. At the
end of the passage, they found some
half rotten planks llxed upright like a
rude door: Morford pulled at one of
them, and It came away, revealing
a further narrow cavity beyond. Nel
lie shrank Iwick.
"What is there In there?" asked Mor
ford. "I Vm' know; it Isn't nice; let's go
back."

go back. The sunshine Is pleasanter.

plored that place when he played rob
ber?" "He must have been brave If he did!
I like to be where Its all alive und
bright." She sighed with relief when
they stood Mice more In the broad Oc
tober daylight. They strolled round
the corner of the house, and looked up
at the mighty, ove-r-flpreading boughs
of the buttornut.
"It reminds rne of when I used to be a
lioy." remarked the young man. "I
was very fond of nuts in those days.
That old tree seems to be full of them;
wouldn't It be fun to get up there and
pick some! Have you ever been up?"
Nellie shook her head. "There's no
rope; besides, I don't climb ropes; I'm
a girl."
"Hut here's a good ladder," rejoined
her companion, iHilntlng to one that lay
under the end of the house hard by.
"Why, so there Is! 1 never saw It be
fore!", "The fairies must have brought it
especially for us. It's see if It will
do." He lifted, and sat It against the
great bole ef the tree. It Just reached
the fork of the lower branches. "It
couldn't -be better!" exclaimed the
young man, enthusiastically. "Now,
Miss 'Nellie, will you walk upstairs?"
Nellie hesitated; but there Is a great

til at Vist they found themselves stand
ing in a sort of hollow, cup-shaped
place, thirty feet aliove the ground,
with the branches stretching out and
up in all directions, each as big as on
ordinary .tree.' They ' overlooked the
flattened roof of the old house, and had
a fine view all about the surrounding
country. The breeze blew sweet and
fresh, the sur.ehlne twinkled down be
tween the If'aves, and the nuts bobbed
against their heods. It was line! Nel
lie had never been up In a tree; but
now f'he thought It woul 1 be wise to

"Mind you don't fall, then; let me hold

She scrambled ncro.-a. and Morford
let her carefully down Into the broad
crotch. After a mon:i;tit she uttered a
shout. .
"fill, fee! Hire's a great big enor

She gave him the paper, which bore
the signs of age, though, considering
Its position, it was remarkably good
preservation. He opened it, glanced
It over, and then said quietly:
"Yes, Nellie, It Is Important. I think
It will Interest iMIss Hlllop vry much

"Must we go down so soon?" Bald
Nellie, regretfully.
"Never you mind," replied IMorford
cheerfully; "we'll cotno back as often

than at qny time in the last three
years.
During the past two weeks over 100
additional freight brakemen have been
employed by the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg, preparatory to the
expected heavy 'traffic during the re

tons, an Increase of 2;t,'.i7 tons as com
pared with the same week last year.
Kor the fiscal year to date the ship
ments are 10.:i5.029 tons, an Increase of
SilJ.042 tons over the same period lust
year.
The works of the Pennsylvania Steel
company were run to their fullest ca
pacity last week, with more employes
on the roll than ever before: the out
put was very heavy. The pay-roll of
the company for August contained 4,sr8
names, and the semi-monthly pay-roll
on Saturday amounted to $104,2-9.
The Ira ml Trunk has again become a
competitor for the dressed beef traffic
between Chicago and the seaboard, and
has Increased the mileage allowance
on refrigerator cars from one-half to
three-fourths of a cent per mile. This
Is considered a forerunner of the policy
to be pursued by this company under
Its new management; that it Intends to
pursue an aggressive course and go
out after al classes of business with a

Ituddhistie Idea or Hell Is Far More Terrl
Me Than the Christian's.
From the Washington Post.
The place of torment to which all
wicked Buddhists are apt to be as
signed on the day of final reckoning is,
providing such a thing be possible, a
more terrible place of punishment than
the Christiun hell Is supposed to be.
The liuddhistic hell is a Bort of apart
ment house, divided Into eight "easy
stuges." In the llrst the poor victim
Is compelled to walk for untold ages In
his bare feet over hills thickly set with
red-hot needles, points upward. In the
second stage the skin Is all carefully
filed or rasped from the body, and Irri
tating mixtures are applied. In the
third stage the nails, hair and eyes are
plucked nut, and the denuded body
sawed and planed Into all sorts of fan
tastic shapes. In the fourth stage Is
that of "sorrowful lamentations." In
the fifth the left side of the body and
the denuded head are carefully roast
ed, Yoma, the Huddhlstic Satan, super
intending the work. In the sixth stage,
the arms are torn from the body and
thrown into an Immense vat among
the eyes, nails, and hair previously re
moved. Then. In plain hearing of the
sore-footed, blind, maimed, roasted,
and bleeding victim, the whole horrid
mass is pounded Into a Jelly. In thi
seventh stage the other side of the vic
tim and his feet are roasted brown, and
then comes the eighth ami last stage.
In which the candidate Is thrown into
the bottomless pits of sedition.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
WALL STREET REVIEW.
New York, Sept. 25.The railway and
miscellaneous share ' speculation after
an Irregular and rather ragged open
ing became strong under the leadership
of the Industrials. Sugar, Tobacco,
Distillers and Chicago Gas were in par
ticularly good request, and advanced
anywhere from H to 2 per cent. Sugar
rose to lmK. Distillers to 23 and Chi
cago cias to Tu. The last named sub
sequently receded to !)4a7U. The buy
ing of Sugar was the result of the fur
ther advance of 1-16 cent per pound on
refined. The rise In Distillers was due
to rumors from Chicago that the Green-hut-Morris
outfit had made their peace
with the present Insiders. The anthra
cite coalers were stronger on the an
nouncement that all the leading com
panies had advanced prices 50 cents
per ton ut western points. Speculation
closed firm. 'Net changes show gains
of to per cent, on the day. Total
sales were 2&1.261 shares.

tive stock of the New York stock mar
ket are given below. The quotations are

What Ho Woald Think.
Chummv What would you think of a
man that always went round talking to
himself?
Crulllv I should say r he u.l it to
l'ste: to hmsi-lf. he was a fool; if he did
It to avoid ilsieii'.nii to his friends ho was
a Krniux: and If he did it to save his
friends from listening to n:m. ne was a
philanthropist. Truth.
