Not undeservedly, fir jn hi knowloilRe of books have miu ll alirpaftxed the leading men' of the torvn, nnil his. life wish en tirely devoted to, suuily. Miss Omul, ih borough member's daughter, who hud been ut (..It-tun, herself the marvel of .wnnmn hood In this not altogether lx nlglitd region, spoke of Air. Slar ilaet with respect; Indeed, for the last tweiv month or so it had been general ly siirinlssed that the friendship be tiveen these (listUiKUislied persons viild pud In eluser allianee a most Inlfvpstliik and delightful prospect. The lady had entered upon her twenty seventh year: .Murlleet drew towards forty, but preserved the complexion and the carriage of youth. For him. such u tmloti would In every way be advantageous, hs, from his way of liv ing, he evidently possessed but a ntod t competence, nhlle Miss Cloud shone f Iht- Sole heiress of her father's for tune. "or- a man of' parts and ambition, raised above the necessity of exertion himself to earn a livelihood, it is dau tferotm. after academic nuecess. to re turn to his native country town and settle there with the purpose of produc tive study. A a rule, men have no uui-h temptation. 1'ercy Marfleel. whose bent of mind was all towards homeli ness, and who shrank from the tumult V . the. ureal woilil, even while credit ing himself with power to win distinc tion, decided utter a very brief trial of London, that he could not do better than no back to the scenes of his youth, where kindly notice would Inspire him. Where .his health wdul.d be at Its best, and where a modi ut Income would, he Imagined, assure him a much better status than among strangers. His fam ily had a good name in the town; since the death of his iwrents and the mar riage of his sister, upon him alone lay the duty of keeping the name in hon orable prominence. Moreover, he owned tie house in which he had been -burn, where the days of' his boyhood had been passed. . With Infinite' content mwiat he- read the newspaper paragraph which made known that "Mr. Percy Murlleet,. the son of our late honored townsman, havfng completed a distin guished career at the . I'niversity of 1'ambrhlge," had returned to the town, and Intended to make it his permanent abode. From his earliest school prize to the final Is'tmis at Cambridge, each step of Percy's progress had been chronicled by the local paper. No special brilliance appeared In the successive achieve ments; he had done well, nothing more; but local pride made rr'ich of his acad emic record. He was understood to be great in history:" to historic study his life would be dedicated; if he rail up to London or to Cambridge, the news paper announced that he was gone for the purpose of "consulting original documents." At first he declined to take any part In the affairs of the town, for which he had absolutely no leisure; but little by little certain honors were Hiriint upon him, ami the satisfaction of milking little speeches, carefully pre wired and no less carefully reported, lured, his mind from exclusive occupa tion with the past. At length he could be depended upon for an annual lecture at the literary society, for an address Of an enlightened movement uncon nected with politics. From strictly municipal business he succeeded ill holding aloof, his true reason being ear of expense;, but this prudence not- NOWADAYS HE ONLY riKAH. Withstanding: the esteem he enjoyed necessarily cost him-somethlng in coin of the realm, and such demands upon his pocket grew henvieti and more fre quent With the progress or time. The day cume when Percy had seriously to 'consider his limtnclal position. Seeing no immediate way out ol the difficulty, and foaling so comfortable in his daiiy lire that a complete change could hard ly be thought of, he Insensibly drifted Into carelessness of th- future. And so It tame about that, iu bis thirty eighth year, having long lived upon cap . flat, with steady growth of expenditure from Christmas to Christmas, he saw before him' an Inevitable crisis. In come he no longer possessed: mere--ly a turn of money which, even .with parsimonious management, could last him only a short time, a ml at the pres ent late of living would dissolve with awful rapidity. - In the way of lltff-nry productions he had done' nothing. Years ago he made tin secret of his undertaking; the work of .his life was to be a continuation of Mdcaulay; latterly he very seldom yimke on this subject, or even distantly alluded to It. Hinee his thirtieth year scarcely u Jotting had been added to the notes and rough sketches previ ously accunmlntPd. Nowadays he only , read, and for the most part his reali zing had no connection with historic re search. A large library, collected at tut small outlay, gathered dust upon the shelves. ' Kxpenslve publications still .reached him. simply because lie lacked the courage to discontinue his subscriptions, and so to confess that his one object In life had melted away, together .with his money. He spent the wonted number of hours locked In his study, but more often than not a day Bragged through Jn sluggish mooning or in the tortures of anxiety. As usual, he pottered about the garden: as usual, he paid and received -visits, at tended meetlngs."mad( 'Hi tie speeches, helped t4 get uy. litHe, entertainments of' Intellectual cast. , And no fellow i)wn's:nari marked the slightest change lhluf. r ill i.- i Have YOU Tried l : the great , SKIN CURE?. hi run of torttttlng, dlnngnrtnit. humili ating bullion are tti mott wonderful ever : recorded. - - , " ' Sold throughout tin wotM. tlritiih depot!

Mticira Johnson and Bachellfli One hope remained: yet it could hard ly be called a hope:' rather, a troubled Imagination or something that might have fallen to his lot In huppUr circum stances. I'ntil of late no thoughts of marriage had lured or perturbed him; he cared but moderately for the society of women, and. like most men of his temper, kept very clearly In view the sacrifices and perils attaching to wed lock: his pleasant, roomy house, al ways quiet and fragrant under the rule of an excellent domestic, would under go such changes if a mistress entered into iMjssession. For all that, there was one woman who often occupied his thought, and in some degree hud power over his emotions: In part iiecause of her social rank, partly because of her education, and. lust but not least, by virtue of her personal charm. Certain ly he liked Kvellne Cloud: he was Mat tered by the deference she paid him, and felt something very attractive in the modesty with which she spoke of her own attainments. By slow degrees their Intimacy had grown and ripened. At flrst he was slightly afraid of her; the smile ever lurking about her lips seemed to threaten criticism of an un familiar keenness: who could say what equipment of modern views these young ladies brought with them from G irton? Gradually he perceived that Eveline's posttlon in the town was somewhat like his own that her prestige rested upon vague report rather than on present evidence of learning and ability. He Judged' her- Intelligent, but certainly not profound. Nor did he make parade of erudition: her tastes seemed decided ly simple; If he mistook not, she pre- "I AM IKUC.HTF.D." WAS HF.R F.X-CI-AMATION. ferred the companionship of her pro vincial friends to the society she met when With her father Ih London. Her Interest In local concertis became more pronounced: she was fervent in ortho doxy, and, as years went on, accepted with decision her place us leading lady In social, or charitable organizations. Personally, Miss Cloud no longer over awed hltn, for he felt that he under stood her. Her behavior to him was of such frank friendliness that no wonder their acquaintances observed them with a genial smile. Marflect sometimes came away from the house brooding. Hut for his incredible folly, which hud brought him within sight of disaster he saw no means of repair ing, might he not reasonably have aspired to a marriage which would at once exalt his position ami promote his happiness? What possibility of It now? The secret, of which no one had a sus picion, weighed but the more heavily upon his own mind. In conversation one day with Miss Cloud, he chanced to speak of some political incident In the reign of Queen Anne, a point which It seemed to him the historians had misunderstood. "Have you reached' that In your book?" asked Kvellne, with a glance of Interest. His eyes dropped; he was uncom fortably aware of that lurking smile about the fresh-colored Hps. "In the first rough draft," he 'con strained himself to answer. And F.ve llne's eyes reassured him, so friendly were they, so devoid of troublesome curiosity. "Have you never thought, Mr. Mar Meet, of publishing some portions of your work In periodicals as some writers do?" Yes. he had thought of It. and very lately. To he sure no portion of his work wis written, but might It not be possible 1 1 shape out of his notes a few interesting chapters, which the re views would print and pay for? 'Miss Cloud's happy suggestion hud a strong effect upon him; it revived his ener gies, and for the next few weeks he i actually engaged in literary compos I- 1 ieii. nr wiuu-u imperoi some leugtn, and dispatched it to the editor of an Important monthly. What was more. so sanguine had he become In conse quence of this effort, that he revealed I the matter to Miss Cloud "I am delighted!" was her exclamn- j Hon and she really looked It. "When ' do you think It will appear?" j "Oh." he faltered. "Impossible to sav. Perhaps- It might not strike the editor ! as worth much." "What! the result of years and vears i of study! That's Impossible." And Kvellne added: "I have noticed. Mr. j Murlleet. that you seem lather despoil- : dent of late." i They were alone on one of the garden ; terraces, and Kveline's voice had an In tonation or peculiar gentleness. A more ! ardent admirer or less scrupulous mall would have used the opportunity :Jdar- i nrei nit-ifi.v grew coniuseu. i us noiiiing. i wasnt num-o r its--" ; "I'm afraid you work too hard " sounded In the soft, kindly accents, j "oh! deal, no!" He laugh. (!. " feel perfectly well perfect ly." And, indeed, there was little amiss In ' his appearance. He .had a pleasant I color, a clear eye. the excellent teeth ' of a healthy man who did not smoke. For years he had gone to bed at eleven o'ce"k and risen only at nine; he had never fallen short in exercise, ate heartily, and found 'plenty of amuse- j meiit. It would take a long time be-' fore mental distress, such as he was now suffering wrote itself upon his ! countenance. No one thought It unnat- j urul for Allss Cloud- to take Un Interest In Mr. Murlleet; decidedly he was a' personable man. well set up, well feat- i tired, and always carefully dressed., c.veiiiie.- tor ner part, could not be called handsome; but for her position, suitors would hardly have singled her from a group of amiable-looking young women. Yet the good blood In her veins, the kindly, intelligent llttht of her eyes, and that lurking smile, i wrought durable bonds for the heart or any man once thoroughly subdued j to their charm. Not long after this conversation Miss Cloud went with her fajher to town, i where she remained for more than! three months. For nearly the same period Percy Martleet lled In uncer tainty as to the fate of Ills historical essay, and the time paWd dreorlly euough. When Kveline's -eturn drew near he resolved to make Inquiry of the silent editor, and m speedy reply put an '-end to his suspense. The editor re gretted that he could not make use of Mr. Marlleefs interesting paper, which he now- sent back, v It was a blow to Murlleet. and'after a'few days spent in recovering from the dizziness, the poor felw took a dark resolve. iTa be continued.) The board of directors of the I-ehlgh Valley Hailroad company at a recent meeting decided to restore the 10 per cent, reduction In salarlea made In 1HS3. The change affects all employe who re eenved fixed yearly compensation. Anthracite Interests claim that the actual demand for iea and buckwheat sizes of coal at advances la destined to materially Increase earnings. Hereto fore these sizes-have been more or less of a drug on the market at this season. The improvement is attributed In part to the formation of the soft coal ikm1. bituminous being a direct competitor In the steam 'market. The Supreme court of Virginia has just decided a case of great Important to railroads and other .corporation In that state. It was the rase of the New York. Philadelphia and Norfolk Rail way company against the board of su pervisors of Northampton county. In w hich the right of the county to levy the property of such companies for district school taxes was Involved. The court holds that -this cannot be done under the present statutory laws. At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Coluimibus, Hocking Val ley and Toledo Hailroad company held Wednesday the following directors were elected: Thomas F. Kyan. C. H. Alexander, W. A. Mills. C. Morris, J. W. Kllsworth, Calvin S. Itrlce. V. W. Huntington, Samuel T. Iavls and James Kllbourne. Samuel D. Davis was elected first vice-president and Charles It. Alexander second vice president. The full report for the year was not ready to be submitted to the stockholders, owing to the recent death of President Walle. Officials of the Southern Uallway company say that the plan proposed with reference to Memphis and Charles ton will prove profitable to the South iern road on account of the volume of new business which can be given to the Memphis and Charleston. Heretofore the Southern railway has turned west ern traffic over to the. Kansas City. Memphis and Birmingham line because the Southern had a larger haul by this route than It would get by tile Memphis and Charleston. It received business in exchange at lilrmlnglmm. Should the Southern control the Memphis and Charleston, It could at once divert this amount of business to the Memphis and Charleston line. i INDUSTRIAL. Says the stockholder! A general air of satisfaction pcrnieutes the anthra cite coal trade these days. Kvery bit of coal that Is being mined finds a ready market, and some of the Inter ests are complaining that they are forced to buy from competitors to meet orders. In view of this, full circular prices are not surprising, in, talking with different producers, we have In (lulled if this shortage will not lead to an Increase in production. The gen eral answer has been that it will not, and there appears to he very little de sire in that direction. Whatevertontrol Hug Influence there may be in Ihe trade will be exercised against It, and In ad dition the companies as Individuals would be opposed, fearing a repetition of the demoralization of previous years. They are very well satisfied with cur rent net results, which return fully :I0 cents per ton more for coal than was received In March of last year. An Im portant fuctor from the revenue point of view Is the sharp advance In pea and buckwheat sizes. They are In excellent demand at from $i.:iO to $2.50 for. pea. and for buckwheat. This Is an ad vance of some :10 to fQ cents per ton. and returns a handsome profit on from L'O to : per cent, of the total tonnage. Of lute a number of washerles operat ing on the culm banks have been put ting out quite a heavy output. This is ulso meeting with a good demand at a fair price. We have heard very little of late of an Increase In freight rates, and It is probable that this will not he made unless there Is a further advance In prices. As to higher figures for coal this spring, there is some little diversity of opinion, although the ma jority are of the belief that the present circular will be reaffirmed for the spring and summer. There were a number of renorts lust week In the New York market of slight concessions by inde pendent operators. As far as we can learn these are practically baseless. The operators Independent of the com panies are having no difficulty In se curing their quota of tonnage, but any attempt to exceed this amount is met with a statement from the railroads that there Is a shortage of cars. Know ing that they cannot increase their ton nage, they are naturally anxious to re ceive as much therefor as possible. Most of the Independents are marketing their coal on the 40 and t0 per cent, basis, and when they compare net returns with those of this time last year they are very well satisfied with the situa tion. ," Youngstown, .. dispatch says: The fnlon Iron and Steel comoany Is running on one of the largest orders of finished Iron ever shipped from this The order Is from Hombay.
