PART I.
Every, one in Cove valley, down li.
, leurgiii, considered Matt Dlpby a
nerldler. Joel Holticlaw disliked her
oore than any woman In "the Cove.'

But although Matt Digby wan In
ler thlrty-aeventh year and was un
oarrled. she had never thought of eap
urlne; Joel for herself.
The truth of the matter was that
att li(tby did not want Joel to
narry Mary Ann Hardltnan, a pretty
plnster Just her age and her next door
lelghbor. Matt liked Mary Ann as
ell as she liked any good-looking un
narrled woman, and ne would have

rlth her nuiltliinx, jelly-making, fiult

Vould never help her to marry Joei
lultzciuw.
She told herself that any woman of
dary Ann's utye, who hud us good a

.Hough "to ifef the best that Was go

elf with another woman's children una

tinny again in case she died.
Everybody In "the Cove" kerr thi.
t few believed t'al Joel would be Jus
llied In breaking the promise, since it
eenied that nothing but a wife und
mine comforts would keep him from
h Inking once a Week, and since his
hlldren ve-e so badly In need of r
nother's care. Hut the majority were
iiiueu tu n; aim now aim men, when
he gossip was loudest, some one would
pelily dec lare that If Holtzclaw ever
narrled he Hhould be "churched."
.One innrniiiR from the window of
tar Ofittage Matt saw Mary Ann leave
he back door of her house with a tray,
n which there was something covered
vlth a nankin, and make her way
hrough the tull, dewy ragweeds to
'eel's cot ta are.
"Ah!" exc-lalmed Mutt. "She's going
n feed them children. I'll bet my bot
om dollar he didn't get home lust night,
le's on another bender and she'll have
hem over in her entry-room tonight,
lire ns preaching."
Matt hurt redly lifted her coffee-ket-le
from the coals so. that It would not
loll over in her absence, forked a piece
if bacon from a hot frying pan Into a
ilute and went out among the sassafras
bushes near Joel's fence. Here she
tood for several minutes.
"I'll bet she's dressing the imps!" she
iald. impatiently. "If I hud thought of
hat I could a-tlnlshed my coffee and
incon."
The next minute Mary Ann came out
if Joel's house, the empty tray under
er arm. Seeing Matt there in the
ilantlng rays of the sun. gazing at her
in critically, she Mushed. She paused on
:he steps for an Instant and wound a
.Uray lock of her rich brown hair about
;he knot behind her head, and then
itepped down Into the rank weeds.
"He didn't come home last night?"
iald Matt, breaking a sassafras twig
ind chewinic the end of It.
i Mary Ann drew her damp skirt from
:he dinglnfc briars and climbed over
;he rail fence. Matt could not help ad
mitting to herself that Mary Ann was
traceful In movement. She was so well
!ormed, too, and the fresh morning air
ind given her such a wonderful color.
'. "No, he didn't," Mary Ann replied,
is she got down on the other side, near
:o the questioner. Then she sighed.
'I have Just been over to give little Joe
nd Fanny a bite to oat."
"You needn't tell me what you went
lor," sneered Matt, with a hard, unfor
itlvlng stare. "You are making a fool
it yourself. I'll bet my life you didn't
ttose your eyes all last night a-listen-In
for him to pass."
A look of weary resignation came In-

to Mary Ann's face. She was too deep
ly troubled to mind Matt Digby's re
proaches. She hitched the tray and
napkin under her arm.
"I couldn't help It," she sighed. "The
sight of them little things a-standing
at the gate lust night a-looklng down
the road nearly broke my heart."
"You went over and put 'em to bed,
I'll be bound," went on Matt, tenta
tively. "They was afraid to go Into the house
by themselves." replied Mary Ann, look
ing down and shaking her damp skirt.
"I set by them until they went to sleep,
and if he had come home anyways out
of sorts I'd a-gone over again. I didn't
undress."
I "It is a pity about thnt promise he
made to their mother," continued
Matt: "for he really ought to marry
somebody."
Mary Ann's pretty lips twitched, and
she wiped them with her shapely hand.
She nodded, but that was all the answer
she made. There was an awkward
pause, then she caught up her skirt.
"I must go in and help sister about
her ironing," she said: "and I reckon
you got your own work to do." She
turned and, treading the weeds beneath
her, made her way across the yard to
her cottage.
A woman about fifteen years her sen
ior was in the sitting room, bending
over an ironing-board, which rested on
the backs of two chairs, near a window.
As Mary Ann entered she wetit to ,the
fireplace and took up a fresh Iron. She
dusted the ashes . from it with her
apron, and tested its heat with a damp
linger.
"Was they out of bed?" she asked,
sympathetically.
"Yes. and u-setting by the window
a-watchlng the road to town. Little
Joe had been a-crylng. He dried hl9
eyes, and tried to make out that they
hadn't been up long, und 1 heard them
Jump out of 'bed before duyllght."
The elder woman sighed. She went
to her board and rubbed her iron on a
folded newspaper till It began to
scorch.
"1 don't know what's to be done,
Mary Ann," she ighed, "but this can't
goon. I have been thinking. In one
way It looks like you ought to marry
Joel. He's the only man you ever want
ed, and you are the llrst one he ever
took a-llklng to. If it Just wasn't for
that promise to u dead womun"
"I hain't no idea of trying to make
him break It." Interrupted Mary Ann,
despondently. She put the tray in the
cupbourd an came out and stood, be
fore her sister, her hands ut her shape
ly waist. "It's Just them poor children
I'm u-thlnking ubout now. Seems to
me if they was Just provided for the
balance wouldn't mutter. I reckon he's
itiiidu a night of It, und will be along
j some time today.'.'
"Not till dark," opined Mrs. Tiatson,

with water from u bowl, "lie's always

one of his tantrums that he waits for

house."
The two women had the children over
to dinner that day. Matt Klgby saw
Mary Ann go through the weeds for
them. She brought back the little yellow-haired
girl In her arms, and led the
boy by the hand. Matt went out in he),
back yard to her beehive, near Mary
Ann's fence. She wented Mary Ann to
know that she had observed the pro
ceedings. She would have made some
pertinent remark If she could have
caught Mary Ann's eye, but she could
not do so. Little Joe was talking and
Mary Ann was looking down at him
and holding the little girl's nead close
to her face.
As the afternoon began to wane, the
two sisters concluded that the little
ones would be apt to spend the night
with them, but happening to go out on
her porch, Just as the sun was going
down behind the mountain, Mary Ann
saw a familiar form coming up the road.
It was Joel Holtzdnw. Her heart rose
In her throat, and she fell to trembling

I'cnee to Her.
with excitement. She did not look up
as he drew near, fearing to notice
something in his walk that would In
dicate that he was still under the in
fluence of drink. She did not look to
wards him till she heard his voice at the
bars.
"I wish you would step down here,
Mary Ann," he called. "I want to see
you."
She nodded and went down toward
him. As he stood there awaiting her,
his hat off in deference to her, and his
long hair brushed back from his brow,
she was glad that her house cut him off
from Matt Digby's view. Her heart
throbbed painfully as she thought that
It would be only another embarrassing
confession of weakness and shame for
the neglect of his children. But to her
surprise, as she drew near him his
glance met hers frankly and steadily,
and there were about him none of the
signs of dissoluteness which tier sight
had grown keen to detect.
"Howdy do?" he said. "Have you
been looking after them children
again?" '
She nodded, unable to speak for a
moment.
"I 'lowed you would." he added, and
she found her voice In the silence that
followed his words.
"Theyarein there now, Joel," she said.
"They've had their supper and look
sleepy. I was Just thinking they might
us well stay with us, but If you want
'em, now you lire at home '
"I'd hate to disappoint 'em." ha 'an
swered, seeing that she was going no
further. . "They like over at your house
uncommon well. If it hain't too much
trouble, let 'em stay tonight." Then a
red flush on hi face and neck showed
that his thoughts had taken a turn.
He tore a splinter from one of the bars,
thrust It between his teeth, and plunged
suddenly Into what he wanted to say.
"You may not think so, Mary Ann." he
stummered, V'but this time I've kept
sober. The minute I heard I couldn't
get back last night. I knew what you'd
have to think, but there was no helpln'
It. They nabbed me on the jury In the
Matthews' case;Hill Wilson hung us.
as he does every jury he's on, and they
kept us under lock and key till we de
clared a verdict, an hour ago. I'd 'a'
sent word, but nobody was coming this
way. I didn't worry: I knew you'd
look after them like you always have
done."
"I thought I thought I'm sorry"
She paused. The look on her face was
one of mingled pleasure and contri
tion. "The Lord knows, you don't owe me
no apologies," he laughed, awkwardly
chewing the splinter. "I've made a hog
of myself so muny times hand running,
that getting credit for a extra time
once in awhile ain't going to shatter
my reputation. It's a wonder, though,
that I didn't go wrong yesterday: I
was in good hands. I was with Fred
Bartlett and Jake Plain and they begun
as usual. I believe It was the last talk
you and me had about liquor that helped
me to hold out. You recollect me a-tell-Ing
you that if I just had you for my
wife I'd never drink no more? Well, I
got to thinking of that, and it struck
me I'd said something mighty foolish.
Because If a man can't keep from doing
of a thing for his wife's sake, surely he
could for a woman that would be his
wife If she could. The long and short
of It Is, I'm going to give up drinking,
wife or no wife,"
She put her apron to her eyes. His
face softened as he leaned over the
fence toward her.
"I dldnt mean to make you cry, Mary
Ann," he added, gently, "or I wouldn't
'a' said It."
"I wouldn't 'a' missed hearing It for
my right arm," she sobbed. "I'm go
ing in. I see Matt Dlgby out In her
yard. She'll have something to talk
about now."
She turned towards her cottage, and
Joel walked on to hi house.
That night Joel Holticlaw did a
thing he had not done since the death
of his wife. He came over and stood
on tho porch of Mary Ann's house,
and through the window watched her
moving about In the candle light with
in. She hud heard his step, and knew
that he was there, but she did not
speak to him. She was cold all over,
and her hands trembled over every
thing she touched, us she put things
In the room to rights. He rapped oti
the window.
"When you get through In there 1
wish you'd come out here, Mary Ann,"
he said. "I've got something to say to
you."
She glanced at him as he stood In
the light, but said nothing. She could
not liuve spoken then to save her life
She saw that he had shaved himself,
and put on his Sunday clothes, and she
knew, from the look of determina
tion on his face, that his visit was to
be a momentous one. She knew what
he had decided to say, and she loved
him the more for It. She would never
marry him with that promise hanging
over him, but she admired htm more
than ever for boldly trying to win her
over every obstucle.

INDUSTRIAL.
Philadelphia Press: There Is a bet
ter feeling In the coal trade and the be
lief Is that the presidents of the vari
ous coal carrying roads will arrive at a
speedy solution of their difficulties. It
was rumored yesterday that the Phila
delphia and Reading and the Delaware
Luikawannu and Westernl Railroad
compunles hud agreed to combine their
tonnage. This Is instead of each com
pany asking for a certain per cent, as Its
shine of the output, that only one will
be named and then the two companies
w(ll urrange between themselves for
the division. This rumor could not be
Verilled. nor would the parties Inter
ested deny It. It Is, however, believed
that some such scheme Is on the car
pet. A slmilur plan was proposed last
year, only ut that time the Pennsyl
vania Kullroud company was to com
bine with the Reading and the former
company was to have given the latter
one per cent, of Its quota. This scheme,
however, did not work. If the rumor Is
true, it will go a good ways toward
solving the anthracite coul troubles.
The Reading and the Luckawannu have
been the most persistent In sticking up
for what they term the tonnage that
they are entitled to.
A Birmingham. Ala., dispatch says:
Reports from various southern points
east of the Mississippi show a remark
able tide of Immigration from the north
west to the south since the holidays.
They naturally ask for the brand of
goods with which they have been fa
miliar In the west, and this fact has
caused a number of purchases to be
made In Chicago by southern merchants,
who have never before used the western
markets except for grain and food pro
ducts. A number of minor Industries
are being located in the south by west
ern people. Representatives of the va
rious professions from the northwest are
looking for new locations In the south,
and current events seem to favor a
close political and Industrial alliance
of the south and northwest. No fewer
than 500 land agents have gone from
the southern states to the northwest
since the 1st of January for the purpose
of presenting the advantages of differ
ent localities and inducing home seek
ers from the northwest to locate In the
south. A large per cent, of the settlers
from the northwest are Orand Army
ment, and this fact wll show a heavy
Increase In the pension payments for
the next year In th" "mthern states.
Superintendent !. Mitchell, of the
Lehigh Valley railroad at Wilkes-Barre,
left for Philadelphia on Monday in the
Interest of the company in regard to the
six new locomotives with seven feet
drivers that the Lehigh are to purchase
for the "flyer" to be run between New
York and Buffalo In nine hours to com
pete with a train on the New York Cen
tral and Hudson River railroad, railed
the Empire State Express.. This train
will be put on In the spring. The Le
high Valley have accepted Mr. Mitch
ell's designing for these fine locomo
tives. The coal trade of England last year
was unsatisfactory. The estimated
production by the London Times Is
190.000,000 tons, or 2.000,000 more than
In ISM. The price of coal fell from Id
to Is 2d during the year, and at the close
of the year was lower than for seven
years. Wages of miners In Scotland
have been reduced to 4s 6d per day.
The total Imports of tin plate from
Great Britain In 1895 were 222.S01 tons,
as compared with 22.8; tons In mi,
and 255,583 tons In 181
President dates, of the" Illinois Steel
company, which yesterday reopened Its
works, closed recently for repairs, says:
"We start with large tonnage) booked,
and with demand for rails good. Prices
of Bessemer Iron billets and rods are
$1.60 to $! per ton higher than twenty
to thirty days ago, and the general pros
pect is very favorable.
The total merchandise and specie sent
out of the country to pay Kuropean
bills In the three years ending December
31. 1895. was t577.S62.000, as compared
with $398,560,000 In the three years end
ing December 31. 1892. The total mer
chandise trade for the first period was
t4.770.010.M3. as compared with $5,259,
082.478 In the last period.
Engine No. 37 has Just been over
hauled at Wllkes-Barre shops of tha
Valley company and Is painted with the
new aluminum paint of the standard
color of the Lehigh Valley cars and lo
comotives. This engine will now go
into service on the Mountain Cut Off.
One of the Reading receivers Is quoted
as saying that the Reading's claim of 21
per cent, of the anthracite production
will be insisted upon, and that the com
pany will not be a party to any agree
ment for the Improvement of the trade
which does not include this claim.
The Pittsburg American Manufac
turer says, concerning the Iron and steel
trade: "The opinion prevails that prices
have touched the lowest notch, and that
there will probably be a general
strengthening."
The Cleveland Iron Trade Review
says favorable signs are more numer
ous In the iron trade, and the past fort
night has put a better aspect on nearly
every department of the market.
The total number of Immigrants ar
riving in this country last year was
324.545. as compared with 24S.983 In 1894.
In any estimate of the foreign trade
this Item la a most Important one.
RAIL ROAD NOTES.
Chauncey Hart, who was hurt some
weeks ago, while performing his duties
on the Delaware and Hudson railroad
has returned to work. Mr. Hart was
riding on the steps of a locomotive
when an express company's truck,
which was too close to the track in
jured his leg. The National Express
company paid Mr. Hart ItfOO as It was
due to the negligence of one of Its em
ployes that the accident occurred.
In the very complete article on the
Delaware division of the Erie, pub
lished in the Engineering News, Super
intendent Derr In an Interview with the
writer of the article said tn speaking
of the Instruction to night signal men
In the towers: "You must not go to
sleep and then wake up and see the
headlight of a train standing at the
tower.you must first go down stairs and
find out what train it is, wash your
hands and face, or do something to get
yourself fully awake before touching
the bell key, and you must not touch
the signal levers until you have proper
ly communicated with the signalman
ahead and been notified by him to send
the train on."

CHASED BY MASKED MEN.
Seeks i: cape ty Leaving His Buggy, but
IsCanaht, lleaten and Robbed.
Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 26. Dr.
Alonso Brown attended a medical so
ciety meeting here last night. and about
midnight left In a buggy for his home
at Amo. Three miles west of the city
he was halted by 'masked robbers and
ordered to dismount, but instead gave
his horse a furious eut and started
down the road at a break-neck speed.
The highwaymen, who were In a light
buckboard that they had "borrowed"
from a neighboring farmer, gave chase
and there ensued a highly exciting race.
Coming within range, the bandits be
gan tiring and one bullet pierced the
crown of the doctor's hat, but he only
crouched down in the buggy and urged
his horse the harder. After a two-mile
run his horse was nearly fagged out,
and seeing a capture a certainty Dr.
Brown abandoned the buggy and took
to the woods. He was soon overhauled,
however, and after being brutally beat
en was relieved of his pocket-bovk, con
taining $118, and a valuable diamond
stud. His watch, with his name en
graved thereon, was spared. Dr. Brown
reached home in a dazed condition and
reported the outrage, but no arrests
have been made.

no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three)
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
