Author of "The Wooing O't.'V tcpjright. lftdlij Bacheller, Johnson and lUchtiii , " SYNOPSIS Toloncl Capel, an English officer. enl to take command In te Cork district of Ire land during the troublesome times of the flrst deraile of the century, arrange to atop bn his way from Dublin and visit Mr. John Dtgby and his daughter. Grace, at Athgacvm. lie Is specially charge.! to ecure on Valrtitlne Costello. a youn Irishman, educated 4n France, who la active In behalf of the Fenians, cupel arrives at Athuarven and timls Grace and her friend. Nelly O'Urndy. As Grace, who seems agitated about something, is re ceiving him. the arrival of Mme. de Su resne. Grace's former governess, is an nounced. who has some on a visit. Cap--l is deeply Interested In Grace, whom he met at Hath, but he notices the rather strange appearance of Hme de uresn who la dressed in old-fashioned garb, With long mils, a lace handkerchief over her hair, and blue spectacles. At dinner the party discusses young Costello s case, for whose head a reward has been offered. Bhortly after Xlme. de Suresne slips in the hall, sprains her ankle, and Is rrllf1 "P; stairs by the servants. The spriiin provtn to be a bad one, and Grace and Nelly take turns at reading to the Invalid. Mean while Cnnel tries to bring matters to a head with Grace, who evades him. At -las! thev ride out together, and Just as thev start a courier brings dispatches i sum moning Capcl to Cork. Grace and he re turn to the house, and she asks him to escort Mme. de Suresne to Cork when he goes. He takes the opportunity to pro pose, but can get no more satisfactory an swer than that he shall ask her airain wheu he has seen Mme, de Suresne safe at fork, although she shows Interest Capel and Mme Suresne start for torn. At the puss of MurroRhmore they are stopped bv a crowd of rugamuHiiis, who threaten them. Mme. de Suresne puts her head out of the window e.nd addresses them In Irish, which she understands, thev laugh and let the carriage go by. The'party arrives at Cork and Cupel leaves Mme. de Suresne at lodgings, whence he is to tuke passage next day on an Lngllsn corvette for Bristol. PART V. Laughing, yet pleased at the compli ment, Capel drove away to his hotel, whence, after making hla toilet, he went to call upon the invalid brigadier. IJttll In a happy mood, he went early to Inquire for Mme. de Suresne next duy, and was graciously received by the accomplished mademoiselle. .' "Mine, tie Suresne. Ah, yes; she had -spoken or monster, but a messenger warned her that the vessel" was ready to gall at the turn of the tide last night, mo h? hastened to depart, and must 'be nearly across the channel by tnls time." "That Is very extraordinary!" ex claimed Cupel. "Why, she was deud beat when she arrived. I am surprised that I was not Informed of the Calli ope's; movements. I should certainly have sent a dispatch by her." "Did the commander know thut mon-letii- was coming'.'" usked mademoi selle. "Well, perhnps not," returned Cupel, rousing himself from a puzzled frame of mind. "Old madaine send any let ters to Athgarvau?" "yes, of course. The poHtllllnlf called early this morning, soon ufter tluy liieak. for a short billet which madutne left for him to take back." "Then I trust madame will have a pleasant voyage, und I need tresspass ho longer on your time." Mademoiselle led him to the door With Impressive civility, and Cupel luada his way to the iiuarters of the man he was lu supersede. After u long Interview. In which the state of affairs In .the district was fully, explained to hint, he took his way on foot to his hotel. Turning the cor ner ofa street, he; found himself face to face with u young man in naval uni form. ' "Hullo, Poyntz!" he exdulmed, rec ognizing a distant cousin. "What . brings you here?" "Oh. Col. Capel! Very glad to see you! I am llrst 'luff' of the Calliope." "Didn't the Calliope sail last night?" "No. certainly not. 1 am going on board now." Capel felt profound surprise and some uneasiness. "Capt. . Seton . Is your commander, eh?" "Yes; do you know him?" "No, but I should like to see and apettk with him." "He Is ashore today, and dines at the Harp and Crown, as there is a big ball on." That's my hotel," returned Capel. "I Hhull ask for an Interview." "He is a very good fellow, a little rough and ready." "Come and dine with me tomorrow, Poyntz; I'll not delay you now." 80 by getting handsomely rid of the young officer Capel proceeded to his hotel, and established himself In the coffee-robin to watch the coming of "I HAVE TRIED NOT TO LOVE TOU, AND 1 CANNOT HELP IT. .Captain Seton. The dinner hour was much earlier In those days, so before long Seton came in. A few words and several . bows . Introduced the' gentle- men to each other, and the naval officer accepted Capel's courteous Invitation to dinner. It was half over when the . host started the topic of the dlsaf- fected stale of the country, und ex pressed his annoyance at having to hunt, down a young fellow like Cos tello. . ' . "Oh, you'll get over all that after a few weeks in this queer country. As to Costello, I heard odd stories at lunch today, at a house a way near the WORKS .

Frapi, lam, u.t.A. (Qticura cove. The gentlemen had been out Ashing, seaflshing. this morning, and one of their boatmen said he had had a cueer job the night before. He and another had been engaged by a strange man to row an old lady out to a little bay not far beyond the harbor. This old lady was very linely dressed, and had a veil tied round her head and face. But they found a strange ship lying at anchor, and when they were alongside the old lady caught hold of a rope and climbed on, board In a Jiffy, like a regu lar sailor, showing some masculine un dergarments as she did so, and a sturdy pair of legs. Then the anchor was lifted, the ship swung round to the tide, and was off with a fair breeze. We sent for the young boatman, and I cross-examined him a bit. He could not make out the nationality of the maTl who hired the boat he was not Irish nor English. He was small and dark and rather grim. I think it must have been that spy Jefferles, who Is, I believe, a Jesuit, so the chief of po lice here begins to think, from a mys terious letter found In his place In. Clonmell. It seems he has not been seen about anywhere for several days, and I fancy we'll never see Costello again." "I saw this Jefferles, once," said Capel. feeling stunned. "He then said Costello was hiding In CJlengarrlff." "I don't believe he ever told anyone the truth, but I do know that a strange ship has been seen dodging about the coast, and I believe they, have taken Costello off In disguise." Capel wns struck dumb. The whole plot Hushed clear before his mind, and he must be mute. If he confessed how bamboozled he has been. It would ex pose the Dlgbys to the anger of the ruling powers, and be acting a trait or's part. But he was deeply wounded and mortally offended. To be made a laughing stock by the woman he loved so fondly! It was unbearable. "NELLY, MY HEART, Yll' DON'T SAY So!" He could hardly commund himself to curry on the conversation, und when alone he seized pen and paper, und wrote u stern, angry letter, which In due time produced the following reply: "I have deserved nil you say. I huve deceived und betrayed you. You are light to say you will never see my face again. 1 can only urge that I did this to save, a young Hie, full of promise, which Is most precious to my more thun sister, Ellen U'Urady. Moreover, Val is completely cured of his mistaken enthusiasm. Do not think nil the suf fering is yours. You are wounded. In sulted, disappointed, but you do not feel what I do, the gnuwing sting of remoi-se. Yet. Colonel Capel, could I have done less for my old playfellow, for Ellen's cousin? God bless and keep you. We can never meet again. Grace Dlgby." Over and over did Capel read this brief epistle, and each time he felt his Indignation fading away. He knew exactly how her voice would sound If she had spoken the words. Across all the cares of his command, all his ef forts at Improvement and reorganiza tion, he caught her voice: and saw the last look he had caught from her lovely eyes. ' "Roper," he said, to his soldier ser vant, one evening at dinner, "go around to Fogarty's stables, order a chaise and four for six o'clock sharp tomorrow morning, I want to see Mr. Dlgby and return at night. I'll be back to ten o'clock supper." "All right, sir." Capel wrote ' out some Instructions and addressed them to the next in command. Then he went to bed and tried to sleep in vain. The next day was wet and thunder ous. Unable to go out, Grace and her cousin were sitting listlessly In a sort of recess at the end of the big drawing room, from which It was divided by curtains. These the girls often drew across the wide space to take off from the desolate size of the room. "You know you have my everlasting gratitude, Grace." (Ellen O'Urady was speaking.) "You have saved Val and me, for 1 could not have lived hffillnr been taken; but I wish we had not brought you bad luck. Do not give up hope, my dear, generous cousin. Do not regret what you have done." "No," said Grace, slowly and very distinctly. "I do not, though the cost of Val's head has been my broken heart," and covering her face with her hands, low sobs broke from her. The curtains were pushed aside, and 'to their amazement Capel came quickly to her side. "It must not break, my love, my dar ling," he said. "I was harsh and bit ter, but I find that life without you is Intolerable. If you can love me, I will forgive everything. Give me your heart, give me yourself, utterly, and forever." He drew her to him In a passionate embrace, and as she whis pered: "But I do. I have tried not to love you, and 1 cannot help It," his lips caught- hers and clung there unre buked. In the Intense sweetness of this llrst kiss all Indignation and bit terness were swept away forever. Ellen O'Orady had slipped from the room at once, and going to-the library encountered her uncle coming Into the hall at a rapid pace. "They tell me Col. Capel has arrived. Where Is he?" exclaimed Mr. Dlgby in some excitement. "Don't be In a hurry, uncle! I rather think he and Urace are settling that you shall see a good deal of each other In future!" t I'Nelly, my heart! You don't say so!" , THE END. . BEANS AND VAOHANCV. In llostoit tho Possession of the Prlco of a Pluto of iloons llloeks tho Law. From the Boston. Globe. A School street lawyer tells the fol lowing sUory as characteristic of the late Judge Mcl'afferty: Among the cases before him one morning was one In which u rather needy-looking fellow wus billed for vagrancy. The officer who made the ar rest and was the principal witness was one of those ottliiuls who never speuk a rood word of a prisoner. He testified In substance that he hid seen the man loafing around for several days, and aa far as he knew he had no 'visible nit ans of support. 1 - "Was the man searched when arrest ed?" asked the Court, nodding his head in the direction of the man In the dock. "I searched him, your Honor," replied the oflicer promptly. . . "Did you find any money about his person?" The officer looked at the Judge some what confusedly, and thenr after a few momenta of thought, replied rather lightly: "Yes. your Honor; ten cents." ' "Can you buy a plate of beans for ten cents?" The officer, thinking his Honor was about to crack a Joke,' laughingly re sponded: "Why, yes, of course." "Then, sir," and tha Judge spoke severely, "understand from me that a man who hus money enough to buy a plate of beans is not a vagrant. Under stand further, sir, that not as long as I am a Justice of this court I never again want to see you bring a man before me on a charge of vagrancy who has ten cents In his pocket Mr. Clerk, discharge the prisoner."

The director of the mint has received a report from John Daggett, superintendent of thn Sun Fruncisco mint, of the production of gold und silver In California, Oregon, Washington und Alaska during the calen dar yeur 189. The production of gold In CallforTffa wus f lf.,334,318, und of silver, coined value, $.99,;9u. Gold III Oregon is placed at fl.837.ti32. and Mlver at $15,192: ill Alaska, gold, f2,238,U0. silver S97.U0O. The Increase In gold in 18K,i over 1894 III Califor nia was fl,471,uuO and of silver $302,460. In Washington the increase of gold was fllit. 38U and of silver (128. 48U; In Alaska gold In crease was il,vl8,9uu and sliver JH2,u. The gold output In Oregon In 1895. .as com pared with 1891, shows a decrease of $273, 7ml and an Increase In the silver product of $4,8UU. The report says thart the Indications are that the gold product for' 189U will largely exceed thut of 1895. THE COAL TltADIc! The New York un Ihrauite coal market is, says Dun, without question, 111 better shape than at any previous time this year; and, ware it not for the rather free ueffrlng of the small steam sizes of coal, at prices that show, the companies little or no profit, the same might fairly be said of the general coal trade. The price of stove coal, of the best quality, In the New York market, Is tlrm ai $3.Ku and $3.75 per, ton, and the al lowance of the commission of 1.5 cents from the full curcular of $3.75 Is now the exception, rattier than the rule. The com panies report an Increasing demand from dealers, whose yards are. In must cases, less fully stocked thun usual ul this sea son. There Is also a better demand from the Una I consumer. It Is understood that most of the companies with New York harbor terminals are carrying less coal than a month ago. This is partly because the line trade Is stocking up freely, ami partly because the companies expect to be gin their annual movement of coal west ward, via the lakes, within ten (lays. This may be expected to prevent any uncom fortable accumulation of coal at tidewater for several months, unless the companies cease to observe the agreement covering the restriction of the output to the mar ket's actual requirements.

Hard Work and Indigestion g Hand la Hand. 1 Concentrated thought, continued in. robs the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. When a five horse-power engine 5s made to do teu horse-power work something is going to break. Very often the hard worked man coming from the field or the office will "bolt" his food in a few min utes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful in the stomach as a krg of nails would be in a fire under a lioiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets fiom the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready to break," because they do not get the nourishment they require from the blond, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at tempts to find rest ill bed. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the who.: system brings to the busy man the full en joyment of life and healthy digestion when he takes Dr. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's ('.olden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny sugar-coated pills made of highly concen trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of ull offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slotlifulness, or torpor, of the liver; then the "Medical Discovery" should be taken ill teaspoon fill doses to in crease the -blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. If you suffer from indi gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any of the ills which come from impure blood and disordered' stomach, you can f.ire yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained ot any drug store in the country. No Air, No Life. Pneumonia suffocates, because the swollen tubes get solid, and keep air f r o m the lungs. Dr. Acker's English Remedy reduces the inflammation, so the patient breathes freely, and is soon well. Miss R.Ray,354W.22dSt.,N.Y., says: "When threatened with: pneumonia, I took one bottle of 1 r. Acker's English Remedy, und the puin and cough disappeared." liizes, 2Sc.;S0c.;$I. All Bragcliti. i AER M KVIi'INK Co., 10-U) Cllumbtll St., N. V. WE ARE NOW LOCATED IN OUR.
