fully. "I am Immensely obliged to you.
Kate; you tire dolus 'me an encirniuiis
service that I shall never forget."
"When Hhall I speak to him?" usked
the girl.
He hesitated. connlderintr.
"It is for you to decide." she re
minded him. "I have promised compli-
nee, ami I will play my part to him
jiroperly 'you run depend on me bill
the plan of actionals yours; you direct
the uffulr, remember!"

and -wi ll. If he absolutely refuses to

awkward."
"And It will Rive him time to think it
over." observed .Miss Drilllntrhaiii
"Yes, I fancy you hail better go first,
I will confess my 'wild adoration' after
your departure."
He looked ut her anxiously,
f "You'll throw a little warmth Into
It?" ho questioned. "Your tone doesn't
oitnd anient Just now."
"Oh, this Ih between ourselves. To
papu I shull be as sentimental as you
can desire. Well, louk here; go back to
town tonight and I will write to you to
morrow." "You will idle It up?"
"I will pile it up, as you call it, earn
estly. Don't have any iiiIskIvIiiks about
me. If the plan falls. It will not be
thrown uny fault of mine, 1 assure
you."
"You're a brick!" he said. "1 shall
be on tenter-hooks till I hear from you.
And let me thank you In Bella's name
as well as my own! You are helm?
quite u benevolent fairy, Kate; it Is
plemlld of you!" !
He was In truth confident of success.
In ImnKlnatlon he already saw himself
walking up the nave of St. (ieorge's,
Hanover miume. with Miss (.'arstalrs in
her bridal dress; and on the Jouurney
up to Kuston he decided where they
would live, and If they should have a
flat or a house, and many other details
which were premature.
The morrow passed without any let
ter reaching him from his fellow-conspirator,
but on the next day but inli
ne received two notes which brotttrht
Ids heart up into his throat,
Th' first was from Miss Kate an
nouiicliiK that her father had taken
the news "fairly well;" the other was
from Lord iJilllliiKlinin himself askliiK
him to go down to Ueercourt again.
llopctoun positively trembled with
eueuefise. N?plthi.i' ..nlull.. n huufuil
any precise Information, and it was Im
possible to determine what the term
"fairly well" might signify, lie de
rived the most encouragement from his
uncle's Imitation (though even that
Inlght be only a courteous preliminary
to a snub), und after a Hying visit to
liampsteud he took his courage In both
hands and bought another railway
ticket.
.Lord lh'iilingham was in the library
when he arrived, and Arnold, disap
pointed In his-expectation of having a
word with Kitty tlrst, entered with
trepidation.
"Ootid morning, sir," he said, "this is
very kind of you. 1 won't affect to lie
Ignorant thut my cousin has told you
of our love for each other, und 1 thank
you-for your letter." .
Uiillingluini waved a white, hand to
wards an arm-chair.
' "Let us chnt," he said. "Kate has
eurprlse'd me very much. I had no idea
uf this, none at all!. .Yes,. 1 am sur
prised, and. you won't mind my suy
liig, Arnold, thut I am not exactly over
Joyed?':. ...
"Naturally," said his nephew; "no 1
rould not hope for you to be overjoyed."
His fall'ii'g-H was delicious.
"As a man uf the worid you see it.
Kate plight haVe married anybodyI
say 'anybody' udvlsedly. I know that
J.udy Daniel- will resent this attachment
of hers bitterly. It Is not what we
looked for no, no!" He paused, and
delicately (licked off the ash from his
cigar. "At the same time," he con
tinued, while Hopetoun gazed at him
helplessly, "ut the same time Kate Is a
girl of remarkably strong sense. She
resembles the Drllllugliams in both
wuysher Intellect, and In her beauty;
1 am not disposed to thwart Kate."
"You are ver good." said Hopetoun.
"1 like you, too 1 am very fond of
you. my boy, as I think you know, i uni
endeavoring to serve you otlirlally I
want to see you make your way in the
World." -;
"Then 'you do not refuse? I I may
hope?"
x "What t propose Is this. Take a few
months, both of you, to make, certain
you huve not mistaken your own
minds. In the menntihe the matter
-need not lie made public, and 1 will con-
tinue my efforts on your behalf. Coin
tiown Jhern us often as you like. See
each other as much ns you like after
you return to town. It can bo an on

fur the present, and' by and by if you

are both still sure of yourselves. It ran
be announced to the world. Does that
satisfy you?"
"It delights me," declared Arnold,
truthfully. "It Is most generous of
you. I thank you deenly, sir."
"Then." said lord Drilllngham. "go
out to Kitty, who Is doubtless Impa
tient to see you! Anil If you will be so
good pull down that blind tlrst; I think
I rould manage a nap If I tried."
Arnold found her in ihe morning
room, and seized both er hands and
wrung them.
"Best of cousins!" he exclaimed,
"most brilliant of diplomatists! How
did you do It ?"
She smiled cordially.
"I'm glad to have Ferwd you," she
said. "And I don't think you nec-d an-
kato (iocs to the Station with Hopetoun.
tlclpate any iucl; of zeal on papa's part
now. To my own knowledge he has
written two letters about you already."
"You you treasure! Kute. 1 should
like to wire the glorious news to Bella.
Will you stroll us far us the station?"
"With pleasure." she said, "If you
don't want to intrust the message to a
servant. Wait two seconds while u put
on my hat. You may claim your ex
cited spirits with a cigarette if you
like."
He did. nor was she much longer
than two seconds. Passionately in
love us he was, he rould not help re
membering Ihut he lady of his abdora
tion ulways kept him waiting twenty
nil miles under similar circumstances.
Now that he plot has been carried
out. his emburrussment in the matter
hud vanished, anil lie found himself
talking to his cousin as frankly about
It as If she hud been Miss Curstuirs her
self. They extended their stroll Into
a neighboring village, and had ginger
beer und penny buns hot from the oven
in a primitive cake shop,
"This is a very good Idea," said Kate,
looking ut him across the table. "It's
funny I've never done It before and
I've walked into the place a hundred
times. Whut do you think of it? Do
you give your 'divinity' ginger beer
and penny buns?"
"No no," he said. "She no."
It was curious, but it hud pust oc
curred to lilni that Bella would not huve
thought such u proceeding coiunie il
fa lit. or even possible. If lie Intd sug
gested taking her Into a village baker's
and there sitting down between a bas
ket and a pile of loaves, she would
have thought he was joking
"No," he suld, "I suppose it was an
unconscious reminiscence of tramps I
used to have with a fellow I lived with
before I was engaged. You have proved
yourself such a jolly 'chum.' Kitty, that
I am beginning to forget you're a wo
man." Miss Drillinghnm laughed.
"Since the world was created." she
said, "did ever a llance muke such u
horrible statement on the llrst day of
the engagement before!"
Hopetoun laughed too, but a little
confusedly. "You understand what I
mean." he exclaimed; "it is a compli
ment." "Of course I understand; yes. it Is
a compliment, and I appreciate it. I
should like to be a chum of yours, Ar
nold! I don't know if it's the secret
bond of sin that Is drawing us together,
but I Und you quite nice this morning
more conipanloable than usual."
"I Hatter myself." said Hopetoun,
"that you always found me nice, or
I would never have hud the pluck to
usk your co-operution as I did."
" 'Nice,' oh, yes; but there Is 'nice'
and 'nice.' It's one of our words, you
know men don't realize Its richness
a bit. There Is 'nice' that means 'pretty
well.' and the 'nice' thut means-"
"That means-" repented Hopetoun.
"That means 'a deur boy!' It all de
pends on the inllectlon."
"And a.m I of the second and su
perior ntceness? May I dare to think
I am considered 'a clear boy?' "
"You may arrive ut it if you perse
vere," said Ills cousin. "Iuy for the
buns and ginger beer. Klght pence
is it possible? Arnold. I've enjoyed
the gorgeous repast more than any
thing I've eaten for years, and It cost
eight pence! Wonderful"
They hud spoilt their appetite for
luncheon, but the meal was u cheerful
one, notwithstanding. Drilllngham, re-
"I Snpposa You Ought to Stay n Week."
freshed by his siesta, and the termina
tion of the parental responsibility
which hud so suddenly been put upon
him. was lighthearted und Joe ulnr. He
listened to their account of the morn
ing's walk with amusement, observing
that Kate wus qualifying herself for an
economical menage, und that no man
rould complain of a wife who was con
tented with buns and ginger beer. Some
little embarrastnent was caused by his
remark, but not unpleasant embarrass
ment. luter he suggested thut the two
young people would readily excuse him
If he went for a canter during the after
noon, and Hopetoun began to be in
wardly tickled by the iosiilun of af
fairs, although he already foresaw that
an apology would be due from him to
his putative betrothed.
He made, It at once, as soon as he
found themselves alone Inthn billiard
room.
"I hope yon don't find It wearisome."
he said. "I'm afraid while I'm down
here, you will lie expected to see rather
a good deul of me."
"I fear thnt unavoidable," she re
turned, demurely." But then, when the
people eome. you'll have to go away, or
everybody will suspect and chatter."
"Why. yes, of oours" said Hopetoun;
"I didn't think of that. When do your
first batch arrive?"
"Not for nearly a month. Still, you
J
ran go long before then, you see. Your
onerous duties will recull you."
"I suppose 1 ought to stay a week or
I shan't look fond of you?"
"Yes." answered Kate. "1 think un
der the circumstances it would look re
markable if you tore yourself away
from me sooner than u week. How
ever, we understand each other, and we
need not huve such protracted, tete-a-tetes
as papa Imagines, you know, and
when we are together you can read, or
write love letters to Miss Carstairs. I
Fay. show me what 'spot stroke' Is.
will you? One In ulways hearing about
It. and I haven't the faintest Idea fhat
It means."

Philadelphia Stockholder: An attempt

generally held III Ihis city, and are re

earnings of the company are excellent,
and are likely to increase rather than
otherwise. The territory covered Is pro

In a paper on the economical equipment
anil operating of power houses for street
lallways, by II. S. Newton, of Syracuse, it
is staled that ut Syracuse the best coal
was found to lie anthracite buckwheat,
costing on hoard cars delivered ut Ihe
station $L'.Ji". per gross ton. Dust anthra
cite was found to lft through the burs;
when mixed with an equal quantity of
soft coal It worked well, but necessitated
ihe help of an extra man ns mixer, ami II
is not so economically fired. Thirteen
tons of buckwheat per day are used,
where II was necessary to use seventeen
or eighteen tons of the mixture.

Work has been In progress for some time
past on a new fun at the Hoyt shaft of
Ihe Pennsylvania Coal company at lilts,
ton, und it Is now In operation, says the
(iazeltc. The mine Is quite gu"eoi!K. and It
was deemed advisable to erect the new
conjunction with the old fan. The fan
house Is of brb-k almost entirely, the
girders In that portion where the air cir
culates us It cumes from the mines being
is twenty feet ill diameter, und il has a
capacity of about H4.IKKI feet of a!r each
minute. Hivcral feature of the plan of
the new fan ure of special Interest, by
reason of the fact that they are here
adopted for the llrst time by tin- Penn
sylvania company. There are two brick
passageways through which air Is drawn
from the -J. aft to -the fan, anil at the
entrance to euch of these passages Is
a massive Iron door. One Is 14x4 feet In
size, and the other about Hx-V These
are so sel on upright axles us lo work
automatically If anything should occur
lo slop the fan. Thus if the new fan
should be Injured, the old fan would be
stinted and the change In the current of
ll I r would of itself be siltHclent to close
Ihe lion doors leading to the idle fan,
and vice versa, since it is the Intention
of the company lo place a similar a"
rangement in the old fan. Should thi
doors fall to operate aiitomatlcaly, levers
running from the enuine house will enable
the eiuilneer lo open or close the doors
with but little effort. The Idea Is to
make If possible to change from using
one fan to the other with the least pos
sible delay. It Is hoped, too, that the
to fans will work together Is such be
desired. In a Ilkes-Hai re shaft a some
whai similar urrungemenl is proving vcy
satisfactory. The new fan will be an
important addition to the equipment to
Ihe Hoyt shufC. and lis operation is be
ing watched wilh Interest- by the com
pany's ultlriuls. The fall has been In
operaloli for several days, in order to
get the machinery working smoothly,
but has not yet been connected with the
shaft.

From Ihe San Francisco Chronicle.
A man was on trial in Luke county re
cently on a charge of grand larceny. He
was accused of stealing a hog. An old
rancher whose Interest in the case was due
lo the fact that he owned a big drove of
hogs; listened attentively to the impanel
ling of Ihe Jury, and then left the court
room wilh undisguised disgust.
"What's the matter, Sam?" inquired an
attorney.
"The jury's goln' to disagree," he de
clared emphatically.
"What makes you think so?"
"Think? I dou'i ihlug anything about
It. I know It.
"Well. then, how do you know It?"
"Wi 11, they've not six hog men that raise
hogs and lour men that i know has stole
hogs on that Jury, an' nobody ever know'd
a hog raiser an' u hog chief as would agree
on a hog case."

Wall Street Hevlew.
New York. Jan. ft Wall street's fflt
Impulse ut the opening or business at ine
Stock Kxchunge was to buy stocks. Sec
retary Carlisle's rail for bids for bonds
having been favorably received. A rise of
' to 2'i per rent, followed. In which To
bacco. Sugar, the Grangers. Manhattan
and Western I'nion were most prominent..
The more the street looked Into the new
bond call, however, the less It liked it,
and during the greater part of thrtsesston
liquidations were quite pronounced, flank
ers were not disposed to talk about the
matter and it was Impossible to obiulu
anything official as to the attitude of the
Morgan syndicate. Statements were cur
rent that John A. Stewart, of he t'nlteil
States Trust company, intended forming
a new combination to take a block of these
bonds, but this rould not be conrtrmed.
About the only thing about which there
seemed to be any unanimity had been ex
tended for another thirty days. In the
afternoon trading there was renewed pres
sure to sell on the announcement from
Washington thut the senate nuance com
mittee had adooted a free coinage with
the Sugar schedules. The statement that
Lazard Freres and L. Von Hoffman Sc
Co,, intended forwurdlnx 'the l.a0,00o
gold which had been detained here on
London orders by next Wednesday's
steamers also hurt the market In the late
trading. The impression is that further
large amounts will lie shipped during the
coming thirty days. The decline in stocks
ranged from 1 to S per cent, outside of
Metropolitan Traction, which fell a to
SL'aW. The 'lartlcularly weak spots were
the Orangers, Coalers, Industrials, Vun
derbllt's, Louisville and Nashville, West
ern I'nlun, the Southewestern's and Man
hattan. In the specialties. Cleveland, Lo
laiue and Wheeling, preferred, broke I
to 4'. The market ill the closing dealings
was weaker than at any other time of the
day. Net changes show losses of to
per cent, in the active Issues und 1 to ti
per cent, in the inactive stocks. Total
sales were 314.408 share.

THREW AWAY THE BELT
Mr. William Thornton, of 127 W. Marker
Street. Explains How and
W hy He Did It.
'From the Elmlra Oaette.l
Old age ha many Infirmities, none
of which are more prevalent than kid
ney disorders. Have you ever noticed
how the old people complain of back
ache, lamo back, and general Ustless
ness? And there are many oilier symp
toms of which they do not apeak, such
as bloating of the limbs, ralnful and In
frequent urination or exeesslveness of
urinary discharge. Most people think
they are too old to find relief and cure,
but this is not so. No belter evidence
than the following, which comes from
an Klmira ritlien. who has been cured
of a very severe case at 77 years of age.
Mr. Wm. Thornton, of 1 West Market
street, speaks of his case in this way:
"l am 77 years old. 1 have been af
flicted with that dreadful complaint
tkidney disease) for over ten years,
musing my old age a burden. I was
so bad aa to be forced to carry a bell
at all times, and. when my suffering
became beyond endurance. I would put
on the belt, drawing it tightly around
me and buckle it. thus bringing an ex
treme pressure over the kidneys: this,
undoubtedly forced the urine out. a
function which the kidneys themselves
had become too diseased to perform.
My condition 1 put down to a strain I
received. I began taking Doan's Kid
ney Hills. After two or three days I
noticed their effect. I was much sur
prised, as the ailment was so severe
and so long standing, while I hud tried
many remedies without uny relief what
ever. The pain 1 have experienced at
times from straining In my efforts to
discharge the urine was simply uwful.
I have done away with the use of my
leather belt, and the pain has all gone,
and I recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
to all afflicted with kidney and urinary
disorders."
