10 THE SCRA23TCXN TEIBUITEr-WEDNESDAY MOKNINGr, DECEMBER. 3, 1896. THE VISION OF A FACE. By JOSEPH HOCKING. Author or "ALL HEX ARE LIARS," Etc. Copyright, 1880, by the Bacheller Syndicate 1 PART L Robert Graham was a young man who wanted to be orginial. Most young men under thirty have the same de sire so I do not pretend to hint that he was anything out of the common because he was passing through this phase of experience. He hnd been articled to a solicitor: but. tiring of the law. he determined to leave the quiet little country town where he had been born and reared, and go to London. His plan, more over, was to forsake law for litera ture, and while at. Mlnver would lose by his departure, the metropolis would have one more daring life struggling In Its midst. He accordingly h'tt St. Minvcr, forsook the law, and went to London. This was, of course, original. In the early days of his law career lie had lenrned shorthand, and it was this expression of his originality which kept him from starving when he came to the metropolis. After some weeks of weary endeavor to tlml a publisher. It was his knowledge of shorthand which enabled him to buy bread and cheese. He was employed as a report er for two or three papers, small local journals which are unknown to Lon don as a .whole, and - yet which are bought by the people in the vicinity In wylilch they are published, liy this niean9 he managed to earn from fifteen to twenty shillings a week, and as a consequence paid his- landlady .with fair regularity. Indeed, that lady con fessed that on the whole he was the best paying "littery gent she'd hever ed." Which shows that Bob had not got Very far on after all. When he hnd been In London a year, he did another original thing, he joined a bachelors' club. Of course this act was right off the beaten track, and liob hnd a sort of feeling that he hnd done something worthy of note. The one rule of the club was that no member Fhould have anything to do with wo men, and directly anyone should break this rule he should be expelled. For a year Hob conformed loyally to this. Indeed, he scarcely spoke to his landlady, and as for other members of the fair sex he never even noticed them. The members of the Hachelors' club met as often as they could In each other's rooms, and each in turn paid for a supper. They smoked a good deal, gossiped a good deal, and abused publishers' readers unmercifully. For nearly all the members of the club were "gentlemen connected with the press." 'And ench of these had a desire "to bring out a great book, something that Would startle the age." liob wrote a good deal, wrote on every imaginable subject, and sent his work to various editors of all sorts, but with out success. His work wasn't "quite suitable." He got sick of publishers' forms and editorial communications, but still he toiled steadily on, and wrote with all the regularity of a leader writer, sometimes with as much bril liancy. In vain, however. He criticised editors and publishers' readers a good deal, and yet In his heart he felt that he got all he de served. Original his work might be, but he never loved the things he had written. Member of the Bachelors' club as he was, he wrote love stories, and often married the hero to the hero ine; but somehow his own heart never responded to the words they said to each other. Indeed, he was obliged to confess to himself that he didn't know how to tell the story of a man's love for a maid. About this time he was invited to a country house to spend Christmas, nnd although he felt he was doing nothing original by accepting the invitation, he promised to comply with the evident wish of the sender. He was indebted for the invitation to the following or der of events: First, a young man, who was a banker's clerk, occupied two rooms in the house where bob occupied one. This banker's clerk was called Herbert Walker, who, in writing to his father, told him about Hob. Herbert .Walker's father was fond of his son, and being desirous of pleasing him, de cided to invite the young man to spend Christmas with them, provided Hob were a decent fellow. Accordingly, one day when Mr. Walker senior was in London, he took steps to see Hob, and "COME OLD MAN. DON'T BE A FOOL!" on talking together, it came out that Hob's father had, years ago, been a friend of Mr. Walker. "I suppose no women will be at your house?" said Bob to Herbert, when they were talking together shortly af ter the former had accepted the invi tation. "Why?" "Well, I shall be nbllgpd to write again and tell your father that I cannot nianngi? it." "Surely you'll not carry your tom foolery so far?" suggested Herbert. "Principle is principle," replied Hob, proudly. "Well, as It happens, no women will be at the house for the three days you've agreed to come to us, except an old housekeeper and the servants. .You'll not object to these, I suppose?" "No; the fact is I'm not bigoted, and women of that sort are a necessary evil." It would seem from this that Bob was a profound philosopher. "My. cousin and-two or three of her companions are coming the day after Christmas day, but as you say you are returning that morning, you'll not see them." "That's right. I suppose yours la a Jolly old place, Isn't it?" "Yes, I think so. Of course it's not what you call a mansion, but It's a fine old country house for all that. Father got it very cheaply because it is report ed to be haunted." "Nonsense." "Fact, I assure you. The story goes that two or three generations ago the only daughter of the then owner was killed there." "Killed? How?" "Well, it was in this way: A yeoman who lived close by wanted her very badly; - indeed, it was said he was crazy about her, and she refused to have any thing to say to him. Then one Christ mas day, When, for the hundredth time he was pleading his cause, she told him that she had promised to mar ry another man. It is reported that he went away with a terrible look on his face, and that he was scarcely able to walk out of the house. Anyhow, that night the household was aroused by terrible screams, and on entering the room they found her in a pool of blood, and her heart had ceased to beat. They searched for the murderer in vain, and the next morning the man who had wanted her was found dead In his own bed, and on the table by his side was a confession that he had done the deed. Since that the house has been believed to be haunted. Several families have tried to live there, but In vain. Ter rible cries nnd groans have been heard in the room where the girl was killed, while at Christmas-time it is said to be worse." "And have you heard an noises?" "The truth is, I have been very lit tle at home. Besides, my father has hnd the house only two years, and last Christmas 1 was visiting at my aunt's. I've never heard my father say that he's been troubled." "Of course It's a lot of humbug!" cried Bol). "V, hosts, Indeed! For my own. part. I should like to see one." "It may be all nonsense," replied Herbert, "and yet I must confess that when J went Into the Imitated room I HE STARTED VP UNEASILY. had a funny sort of feeling. I shouldn't like to sleep In it on Christmas night, anyhow." "Humbug!" replied Bob. "Well, It may be humbug," said Her bert, "but 1 challenge you to sleep there, anyhow." "I accept," exclaimed Bob "I ac cept," and in saying this he felt that he was not an ordinary kind of young man. "Does the ghost appear?" ho went on. "or are there only sounds?" "She appears, I suppose." "And not he man?" "No, she comes alone. She was a beautiful girl, and very good. Indeed, I am told that everybody loved her because she was so good and pure." "1 should like to see her, then," was Bob's reply; "It would be phenomenal. Indeed, to see a good, pure woman. For my own part, 1 doubt whether any such exist." This latter original remark had been repeated very frequently at the Bache lors' club, ulthough Bob had an Idea that he was the lirst who ever used it. Christmas day happened on the Wednesday in this particular year, and on the Saturday previous Bob found his way to Beechwood. He was prom ised that no woman, beyond the ser vants, should bo seen; that he should have plenty of shouting; and that In the evening several nice fellows would be present for a talk and a smoke. Mr. Walker possessed a good library, a billiard table, and good cigars. What more could a man want? Anyhow, Bob expressed himself as delighted. As the conveyance drove up to the house the young man felt that, after all, life was worth living. Mr. Walker gave him a hearty greeting, while Herbert who took him to his room, seemed in high spirits. The three days prior to Christmas day passed quickly away, and Bob de clared that he enjoyed himself thor oughly. "There Is something sensible about It," he remarked. "There are no gig gling girls about, no spooning going on between them and silly fellows; in fact, it's a joy unspeakable to know that the house is free from petticoats." Will, I think It awfully slow," re plied Herbert. "I shall be jolly glad when Thursday comes. Eunice is com ing then with Borne of her friends. She will make the house like a new place." What time does she arrive?" asked Bob. "tin. not till about three o'clock on Thursday afternoon." "I shall be in London by that time." "Come, old man, don't be a fool; stay the week out and enjoy yourself." "No, thank you," replied Bob. "I've had enough of women, you know." "Why, have you heard or seen any thing?" "Certainly not. Of course the whole story Is a pure fabrication, and only due to the imagination of frightened and superstitious people." On Christmas day. Bob spent his time in what he called a sensible way. In the morning he read Rousseau's "Con fessions," and then, after enjoying the Christmas goose, he had a sleep; this over, he went for a walk with Herbert, and then came back to Beechwood with a good appetite for tea. A very quiet evening was spent, and at half-past ten Bob went to his room. It was a comfortable room, rather low-ceiled, but roomy. The fireplace was largo, and In the grate a bright fire burned cheerfully; over the man telpiece was a large mirror, which, as Bolt remarked, was not common in a bedroom. . A huge armchair was placed in front of the fire, the kind which goes by the name of "a saddlebag;" and close by the chair a table was placed on which was a dozen or more books. Bob snt down and looked contented ly into the fire. He turned to the table by his side, turned up the lamp, and picked up a book. "I've had a pleasant time. There's been no noise, no bother, no women: Indeed, nothing unpleasant. I should have liked to have stayed till Satur day. Bother these girls who are com ing tomorrow!" And yet, of the truth must be told. Bob almost wished that he'd consented to tolerate the girls, so as to have had three days more of comfort. "But there, It's no use," he went on: "it can't be helped. Besides, when I get back, I'll have another try at a story a real good, moving story, such as makes old people feel young. Ay, I wish I could! Why in the world can't I write? I'm afraid it's no use trying. I believe I'l go back home and ask old Rimmer to take me on again. It's bet ter than grubbing at reporting for the papers. Oh dear! Well, I'll have a read." How long Bob read I cannot say, In deed I do not think he knew himself. It might have been an hour or more, but presently he started up uneasily. There seemed to be a Strange Influence In the room, an Influence such as he had never felt before. To his surprise, too, the Are had got low, so he con cluded that he must have been sitting for a good while. Then he heard a low, gurgling sound, as if someone had a difficulty in breathing; this was fol lowed by a scream, or at least he thought so, for he was quite sure. In deed, he seemed somewhat confused, as though a kind of spell were cast upon his mind. He tried to rouse himself, and in doing so lifted his eyes towards the looking glass which was placed over the mantelpiece, and In a moment they became riveted, as though there were a secret and occult power In the glass. Indeed, if the truth must be told, he did not want to take his eyes away, for In spite of himself he was fascinat ed by what he saw. (To be continued.) M'KISLEY'S ANCESTORS. The Old Church Dating Back to the Times of George 1. From the Philadelphia Ledger. The church where the great-great-great-grandmother of the president elect, William McKlnley, nttended, and the old dwelling occupied by her peo ple, are still standing in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. The pity Is, however, that the original house In which she was born is no longer to be seen; excepting for a few stones which mark the outlines of the foundation of the old place, there is not a trace of Its eighteenth century architecture. In the beautiful Donegal valley, among the rolling hills of Lancaster county, and looking down upon the rapid waters of the Susquehanna, lies the vlllnge of Donegal, where the Ste vensons built their long, low house in which the ancestor of a president was born. The valley Is one of the pretti est In the state, and that Is saying a great deal, for the state Is filled with picturesque places lying among verdant hills on the sides of which cling tenaci ously the most attractive of well kept farms and the whitest of white-walled houses. Donegal lies about eighteen miles northwest of the town of Lancas ter, and to get to It one had better leave the train at Marietta, where a conveyance can be obtained to make the five-mile journey still to be accom plished. Strictly speaking, Donegal Is not a village nor a town, and it Is doubtful If It can claim to be a borough, tor there Is merely a sprinkling of farm houses upon the hills, too far apart al most to form a community. In the midst of this fertile spot lies embedded in the trees, which even at this time of the year hide it, the old Donegal Presbyterian church, which has been standing since early In the eighteenth century. It has been remodeled, of course, in order to preserve It, but it stands practically the same today as It did In the days of George II. A table of marble attached to the wall of the church gives about all the his tory that is known of the old structure. From this It seems the church was founded by Arthur Patterson In the year 1722, and In the year 1740 the church received a patent from John Thomas and Richard Penn. During the revolution the pastor of the little church was a Royalist, but one day his congregation took him out and made him swear his allegiance to the colonies under a white oak in front of the church, and the tree, now a mighty king of the forest, known as "witness oak," on account of this circumstance. Is loved almost as much as the little white plastered church Itself. In the early part of the last century, at the time when George I. was king, there was a large number of immi grants from the North of Ireland. About that time the Ulster men were having an irreconcilable controversy about the rates for land rents, and as a result they decided to leave the old country and seek refuge In the new world. The majority of these settled west of Blue Ridge, and a large num ber of the Scotch-Irish became the pio neers In the western part of Pennsyl vania. Among those who came over at this time was a certain James Stev enson, who also spelt his name as Stephenson, and who had It spelled for him, In the patent from the proprietor of the colony, Stlnson. The precise date of his arrival is unknown, but it was undoubtedly, from appearances, while the first George was still reigning. In the year 1740, the same year the church obtained a pat ent, he received a patent for land ag gregating 334 acres in Donegal. He was consequently one of the pioneers In the state, and he must have been one of the earliest In Donegal, for his property Is choicely located, being as described In his will, "north and ad joining the Donegal church." James Stevenson had two sons and four daughters. Of these the eldest son, Nathaniel, who died a bachelor, Inherited the property, and at his death It went to the eldest daughter, Anne, who married John Watson, in whose family the property remained until 1872, when It was sold to General Simon Cameron. The Stevensons were a well-to-do people, and at one time had a number of slaves. The second eldest daughter, Hannah, married John Gray, who lived near the Susquehanna, at Balnbridge, and afterward In West moreland county. Their daughter, Sarah Gray, married David McKln ley on Dec. 10, 1780. David McKlnley was In the bloom of manhood at this time, having returned from the war, In which he had served twenty-one months, having enlisted no less than eight times In as many dif ferent companies. Their second son, James Stevenson McKlnley, was born Sept. 1, 1783. He subsequently settled In Mercer county, where he married Mary Rose, and their son, William McKlnley, became the father of Major William McKlnley, who has Just been elected president of the United States. The old brick house, with its num erous wings and spacious porches, which overlooks the church, was built by Dr. John Watson between the years 1805 and 1808. the old structure, in which a great-great-grandmother of Major William McKlnley was born, having been. torn down In 1806. This fine old residence was called by Dr. Watson "The Seat of Beauty," and there seems to be no reason why that name should be changed now. For the past twenty years or more It has been the Cameron homestead. Here General Cameron breathed his last a f'.-w years ago, and here his son, Senator Don Cameron, spends a portion of his summers.

He was met by his employer, who said: "Pat, It's been a bad day." "It hus that!" replied Pat. "You must be pretty wet, Pat," sug gested the employer. Wet, Is lit?'1 said Pat. "Yls, I'm purty wet; but Mr. O . oi'm not half as wet as ol am dry!" And the Drawer Is glad to say Pat re ceived his reward. SHADES OF LINDLEY MURRAY.

A PRETTY BAD CASK. "How did you find old Galsbyr' asked a certain clubman of another. "He was sitting on one chair, with his foot on the other; had gout enough for a centipede,", was the reply. CIVIL SERVICE LAW IN OPERATION Political Influeacs Controls Many Fewer Offices Than Formerly. GOOD ADVICE TO OFFICE-SEEKERS Congressman Feel the Pressure of the Myriads of Requests for Office, but Are I'nablo to Respond Because of Removal of PatronageSome of the Place That Have tione Under the Civil Service Rules. Washington Letter, Philadelphia Press. Congressmen, polliclans and others supposed to have Influence with the in coming Republican administration are already feeling the pressure of a large army of office seekers. The demands for reward for services are as geat as in former years, but the list of posi tions within the gift of President Mc Klnley and his subordinates has been reduced by about 40,000 since the Re publicans last had control of the gov ernment. When the Democratic administration came In in 1893 no time was lost in making reductions and dismissals in the ranks of Republican office holders. Every position not covered by tne civil service rules was filled by a Democrat, and whenever an excuse could be dis covered for action Republican clerks in the classified service were reduced In salary and Democrats promoted. Af ter the changes had been completed as far as the Democratic ollliials could go orders were Issued placing various de partments and grades of employes and clerks under the operation of the civil service law. The first orders Issued by President Cleveland upon the recommendation of the civil service commission, applied to the Indian service and various posi tions in the agricultural department and in the customs and internal reve nue service. Then followed other or ders, covering chiefs of divisions; depu ty auditors and other officials In the departments at Washington, together with further extensions In the customs and internal revenue service; also posi tions in the consular seivlce when the compensation Is less than $2.f00 a year. These extensions took out of the list of political appointments something like 40,000 positions. APPOINTIVE POSITIONS. There are, In round numbers, 201,000 government positions that are appoin tive. According to the report of the Civil Service commission for 1895 152.000 of these were at that time In the un classified service. Since then the ex tension of the civil service rules has reduced that number by 30,000, so that the new administration will find about 122,000 positions of all kinds to which appointments can be made without first passing a civil service examination and securing the recommendation of the board of commissioners. Of this number 66,000 are fourth-class postmasters. In the appointment of which congressmen are especially in terested. The above facts should be borne In mind by the otlice-seekers and those who desire to enter the government service should lose no time In taking the civil service examination and get ting their names on the lists recom mended by the civil service commis sioners. There has always been the strongest kind of pressure brought to benr upon congressmen to secure places for their constituents In Washington. There were up to the present ad ministration some very desirable places, such as chiefs of divisions, at from $2,000 to $2,500; deputy auditor ships, chief clerkships and other places of Ipetty authority and comfortable emolument which could be secured for those who had aided the party and were capable of filling the positions. There were thousands of applications for these places, and congressmen were kept busy haunting the departments and besieging the appointive persons for recognition of their candidates. An end has come to all this. Outside of the assistant secretaries and heads of Important bureaus there are but two clerical positions exempted from the operation of the civil service rules, and these are private secretary and steno grapher to the head of a department. CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS. Heretofore there has been a wild scramble for consular appointments. The bulk of the patronage In that line has been removed by the placing of all positions paying less than $2.f00 a year under the civil service law. The class ification leaves a comparatively small number of consular olllces to be filed by the appointment of the president and the recommendations of senators and representative will not have as wide a sweep as formerly. Positions In this service paying above 82,500 are of great Importance, and as great care Is exercised In the selection of an Incumbent as in the ap pointment of a minister. In this class are consul generals, whose functions are often of a diplomatic character and who should be men of high char actet and ability. Another source of annoyance to con gressmen that will now- be removed Is that of demands for appointment to places under customs and revenue col lectors. The subordinate places in the postotHce service for some years, but now, according to the extension of the civil service rules ordered by President Cleveland, all the positions in the cus toms and revenue service and addition al ones in the postotflce service have been classified. PLACES YET OPEN. For the guidance of those who desire to tnter the government service and have some notion of doing so through the medium of appointment upon the recommendation of their congressmen or through the virtue of political back ing, the following list of exemptions from examinations in the departmental service la given: Private secretaries or confidential clerks (not exceeding two) to the presi dent or to the head of each of the eight executive departments. Indians employed in the Indian ser vice at large, except those employed as superintendents, teachers, teachers of industries, kindergartens and physi cians. Attorneys or assistant attorneys In any department, whose main duties are connected with the management of cases In court. In the custom house service the fol lowing are exempted: One cashier in each customs district. One chief or principal deputy or assistant collector in each customs district whose employ es numl er as many as 150. PostotHce service: One assistant postmaster, or chief assistant to the postmaster, of whatever designation at each postofMce. One cashier of each first class postofflce when employed un der the roster title of cashier only. Internal revenue service: One em ploye in each internal revenue dis trict, who shall act as cashier or chief deputy or assistant collector, as may be determined by the treasury depart ment. EXCEPTIONS. In addition to the above there are a few general exemptions from the ope ration of the civil service rules, but they apply to such small offices that few people will exert themselves to secure the latter. These exemptions are as follojvs: Any position filled by a person where private business is conveniently located for his performance of the duties of said position, or any position filled by a person remunerated In one sum both for services rendered therein, and for necessary rent, fuel and lights furn ished for the performaft.-e of the duties TB LEADER ; 124-126 Wyoming An. r "Small and Sure Profits Often Repeated, Is the Foundation or Modern Success.

There will doubtless be great efforts made to have heads of departments and others In executive positions to dismiss employes now In the classified service on various pretexts. There is no doubt that this been done in the past, and one of the charges against the present administration of the treasury depart ment is that partiality has been shown to Democrats in the classified service in the way of appointments to vacan cies and to promotions, while Republi cans huve been discriminated against. In retaliation, a demand will un doubtedly be mnde that the Republi can administration do the same. It must be remembered, however, that the Republicans have the reputation of living much closer to the letter of the law than the Democrats, and the fol lowing paragraph of Rule 2 of the civil service rules will be observed: "No person in the executive civil ser vice shall dismiss, or cause to be dis missed, or make Rny attempt to pro cure the dismissal of, or In any man ner change the official rank or compen sation of any other person therein be cause of his political or religious opin ions or affiliations, "In making removals or reductions, or In Imposing punishment for delin quency or misconduct, penalties like In character shall be imposed for Iik of fenses, and action thereupon shall be taken irrespective of the political or re ligious opinions or alllllatlons of the offenders."
