All their ends are achieved by money, and largely by the unholy u»e of money. * If one of them proposes to go Into politics he expects to buy his way, and the rogues who have s e a t s in Congress or foreign cppointments to sell see that he pays the price. If one of them wants to marry a lord she expects to buy him, and the titled rascals who wish to recoup their broken fortunes see t h a t she pays die price. Their intluence Is to the last degree corruptive. Their hangers-on and retainers are only such as money will buy. Nine out of every ten of the fortunes behind them will not bear scrutiny.

King E d w a r d of G r e a t Britain is reported to be in better health now than for several years. T h e milliners of Chicago have dbcoverod so many grievances that they have concluded to form a union. Contracts have been awarded for steel for tho new battleship Connecticut, to be built at the New York navy yard. An Independent packing company, with a capital of $1,500,000, has been incorporated in Illinois and will establish a plant on the Chicago drainage canal just outside t h a t city's limits. William H. Baldwin, formerly secretary of the National Steel Company, h a s donated 120,000 for the purchase of a site and tho erection of a building for the free kindergarten of Youngstown. Ohio. Joseph Sanford was killed in the Vandalia coal mine near Mexico, Mo. H e was about 4f» years old. H e was crushed by slate and coal falling upon him. H e leaves a widow and five children. It is said that in the '70s the total number of passengers carried on all roads f r o m New York to Chicago was between sixty and seventy a day. A meeting was held in St. Louis for the purpose of a r r a n g i n g the details of the colonization schemes of the southwestern lines In the States and territories of that section. J a m e s J .

It has been announced that a close alliance h a s been entered into between the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. P a u l Railway and the Missouri Pacific system. By the merger the two systems control 12,103 miles. As on illustration of the Increase in t h s passenger travel between Chicago and New York the L a c k a w a n n a line announces that It is now carrying about seventy passengers eastward each day. n i l s Is an increase of about 200 per cent over the business of the line t h r e e years ago. T h e Southern Railway Company Is negotiating for the purchase of the Queen ami Crescent system. President Spencer of the Southern Is In England, and It Is reliably assorted that the object of his visit is to effect the purchase of the line, which will give the system entrance into New Orleans over its own rails. T h e Queen ami Crescent is an Kmclish-owned road. Articles of incorporation for the Springfield and Central Illinois Electric Railway Company, with capital stock of $200,000 and principal office at Springfield, have be^n filed in the office of the Secretary of State. T h e new road is to bo constructed from Springfield through the counties of Sangamon, Logan and Mcl^ean to Bloomington and through the counties of Sangamon and Macon to Decatur. T h e line will also have a south-' ern branch extending from Springfield to Carlinville and west from Springfield to Jacksonville. General Passenger Agent George H .

A t t a c k s upon non-union men have become frequent, and Sheriff Schadt, feeling that the situation was becoming too serious for him to deal with, appealed to Gov. Stone for the militia. T h e Thirteenth regiment of Scranton was Immediately ordered put. Throughout the entire a n t h r a c i t e region there Is a Very bitter feeling against those of the miners who have returned to work and their families. A strong boycott is applied wherever practicable, and the boycott entersJInto every phase of life. Thus in WHkesbarre Sunday tho members of a Sunday school class refused to sit on the bench with a girl whose f a t h e r is "scabbing" It. Children have refused to attend school for somew h a t similar reasons, and applicants for the position of teacher have failed of appointment for the sole reason that they belong lo families some of whose mem bers wore working in the coal mines. Meantime the weary ntruggle goes on without any hope of Settlement, writes a correspondent on the ground. T h e miners are as determined to-day not to yield as at any time since the beginning of the labor war. Instead of being depressed, they are buoyant and hopeful and look upon it merely as a m a t t e r of time when the operators of the collieries will be compelled to yield. T h e f u n d s which are rolling lu from organised labor are sufficient to keep them from suffering and as long as these contributions are made it is nonsense to speak of the miners weakening. All have enough to eat. and the little garden patches help much In contributing to their support. There is no rent to pay. Individual owners gladly give the miners time and the companies have to. T h e latter dare not evict, for no one could bo found to serve the process. Beside the houses would stand vacant. In case of eviction, if. Indeed, they would stand at all. T h e probabilities are that the houses would be torn down and used for kindling wood. T h e leaders of the strikers are confi aeut that they will win. They say they can and-wIP T'n out all winter, if necessary. r believe tha» this will lie i»v.v cor vinced that when the co.» such a howl will go up from the peopl for coal ^liat the operators will be con polled to yield. T h e operators on their side ore equally determined. They still hope to be able to starve the miners into subjection. They profess to be gaining ground among the miners, although this contention Is fiercely assailed. One thing Is certain, that the product of their mines and culm banks Is only as a drop in the bucket compared to the public demand for fuel. Three weeks ago the shortage was 28,000.000 tons and that shortage Is growing greater every day. FATHER OF MINNESOTA.

Mr. Boles attacked the steel trust specifically, declaring Its failure to be Inevitable and its policy ruin for the poorer Investors. H e also denounced the coal trust and demanded legislation against the anthracite mine operators. Mr. Boles says that the most Important question now confronting the nation Is that of dealing with trusta. H e declared the trusts. If allowed to grow, would dictate the price of labor, and he cited the anthracite strike as an Instance. T h e remedy, he said, was In tearing down the protective tariff wall. H e pledged himself to any legislation, whether by Republicans or Democrats, that would drive out the trusts. S e c r e t a r y of W a r B t a r O r a t o r a t Rcpubllcan Rally. Ellhu Root.

Okiaaca FATE CHAPTER XXI. " I t is my wife. This is retribution, My sin has found me out." « As these words fell from the Hps of L a w r e n c e Richmond he stood as if rooted to the spot. T h e woman who lived in the h a u n t e d mill raised her head proudly and her eyes were looking into his so that he found himself gazing speechlessly upon tho face of that w i f e whom he had not seen in all the years that hail passed since he drove her away f r o m him with c u r i e s that were to be so bitterly repented—curses t h a t were to come back home to roost—curses t h a t had ever since remained in his memory like plague spots, and which would not be erased though at t i m e s they almost set him crazy. T h e burnt mortgage w a s still smoldering upon the little fire, but he had completely forgotten it in the excitement still more intense produced by this astounding discovery. H e had wronged this woman terribly in t h e past, in a m a n n e r t h a t had shocked him whenever he thought of it—for he had a f t e r w a r d learned t h a t she was as Innocent as an angel and had searched for her, but she could not be found, and tho old doubts crept over his mind again, obscuring it—and in thaT dread moment he only saw what a splendid chance for revenge bad come to her. Should she so desire she could crush him with a single blow. This was why the feeling of horror had entered his brain as he stood there, still clutching her white wrist so fiercely. T h e n there flashed upon his mind the late act and words of the noble woman, and his eyes almost unconsciously were turned uuon the fire where the document w a s still smoldering, tboui ery. mi/ "My wife!" he muttercj come back to me from th d e s j t I am dreaming.

Pity me, pardon me." H e had sunk at her feet in abject misery. H i s mind w a s once more cleared of all doubts. She was deeply affected by this evidence of his contrition, and her whole f r a m e trembled, while the tears streamed down her cheeks. " K n e e l not to me, Lawrence, for what sin you committed against me h a s long, long since been forgiven. My act of a minute ago proves that I have never ceased to love you. Ask the great Master above to forgive you, but do not kneel to me." "Oh. woman, every word you utter sinks me Into an abyss of shame. I see myself a fool, a knave, a brnte. I am not worthy to touch tho hem of your garment. May heaven bless you—and forgive me," he moaned. She made him rise, even assisted him, and, weak and trembling, ho sank back Into a chair, almost incapable of motion. T h e fierce will, the strong f r a m e , they seemed withered up by the mad force of this demon remorse. "Oh, Lawrence, 1 thank heaven for bringing us face to face again. I have with me proofs t h a t will dispel all those terrible charges of the past " " P e a c e , " he said, interrupting her, " I would not look upon one of them for a king's ransom. Oh, did I not find out the t r u t h for myself? H a s it not been the consciousness of this that has pierced my heart like a knife at times, rendering me almost m a d ? Wife, wife, I have atoned In suffering for my sin." " I believe it. Lawrence. W h a t 1 have suffered shall remain sealed withlu my h e a r t ; you csn imagine it; but never will you hear the story f r o m my lips. T h e most bitter blow of all c s m e to me when 1 heard that in your anger you had applied for and received the decree of dlvorce—that I wss no longer your wife." It was false, and whoever told you t h a t willfully deceived you. I never applied for a divorce, never received one. So f a r as the law is concerned, you are a s much my wife as you ever were, rhough the bitter past can never be wiped out—never, and we must ever r e m a i n estranged." "Oh, F a t h e r in heaven, I t h a n k T h e e for this mercy. H u s b a n d , let us then try and forget that bitter past. It h a s darkened our lives for many y e a r s ; why should it shadow our whole f u t u r e ? " And she stood before him, a light shining in her eyes and a flush upon her cheeks t h a t had not been seen there for many a day. L a w r e n c e Richmond seemed dazed. "Do 1 hear a r i g h t ? Are you an angel t h a t you can live down all n a t u r a l feeling of outraged innocence in the past— that you can kiss the rod that smote you? Ah! w h a t a soul is there back of this, a noble, womanly soul, and I am unworthy to receive you. Do not touch me, for I have done jrou the worst wrong a man could do a loving woman, his wife—thrust you out Into the cold world as though you were accursed." " H u s h , Lawrence. Let peace reign between us, and when Carol comes she will bless our reunion. Poor child, she h a s troubles enough of her own." " A n d I am the miserable author of them, hut if heaven spares me I will m a k e the f u t u r e speak for itself. I will f r o m thip moment cast off the miserable cloak, that h a s hidden and almost strangled what good thoughts were in my heart, and show a new n a t u r e to the world. My poor wronged wife, would it he too much If 1 dared to kiss your hand in tokt>n of this new peace and the forgiveness you extend to me?" I'^r a n s w e r the old lady put her a r m s ardund his neck and held up her face for him to kiss. H e trembled like an aspen Uaf, and then, bending down, gently kissed her. T h e past was healed, the a b y s s spanl, and in the f u t u r e they could go forrd hand in hand down life's decline. » could make no for «what he IU rreparation i - | i i i r i i i i u u lur i n n lie d done, but it was enough for heK at he had expiated iated that wrong in s o r * row and remorte. They tell us wouj.vn*s n a t u r e has never been understood; that it is unfathomable, and so it would seem. F r o m this calm and joyous contemplation of the f u t u r e they were suddenly aroused by the e n t r a n c e of Carol, in tears. CHAPTER XXII. " W e are lost!" Such was the cry that fell from the lips of Nora W a r n e r as she realized the d r e a d f u l n a t u r e of their situation. T h e great gate w a s locked, aud J a c k had failed to find the key. Then there had come that mocking laugh, and, turning, they had beheld the mad-house doctor close behind them, his evil face w r e a t h e d with a demoniac smile of triumph, as they could readily understand, and, to cap the climax, tho alarm bell had commenced to ring out its brazen notes of warning. T h e poor girl had suffered so much of late t h a t her spirits were readily quenched, and she believed t h a t all was lost. All she could do was to cling to the arm of her lover, who would soon be so powerless to save her, and look as if horribly fascinated at the fiendish doctor. F o r t u n a t e l y for her she had in J a c k a m a s t e r mind, one quick to act and ready to perceive. H e saw at once that there w a s only one chance left for them. In less t h a n five minutes the minions of the demon doctor would be swooping down upon the spot. " T h e key—search for it." T h e s e words fell quickly from his lips in a hoarse whisper, and of course, were intended for the girl. H i s thoughts were bent upon other subjects, aud suddenly, Tiki* a t'ger, he s p r s n c nt the doctor. Nora Vk arner Wm& them clinch •' mi fall tn a he vily upon th< *• so Mctor and > to Kvess •i. ' f he i an if his »wed jthst \ of her tevrom her f^orAcle te i i i a n k neaveu, the key was (here! Eagerly she drew it out. All then w a s not yet lost. She lost not a second In Inserting it in the lock. It was a ponderous key for her hands to turn, but excitement had lent her new strength and she was a giant for the time beiug. T h e key turned, the gate w a s open. W h e n she realized this fact the young woman uttered a cry of joy. and hastily taking out the key inserted it in the lock outside so that they could place a barrier in the way of pursuit by locking the gate a f t e r them, which it must be admitted was a very wise move on the part of the girl. Meanwhile, how progressed affairs with J a c k ? Remembering all the cruelties he had heard of and witnesserd. J a c k w a s visiting his just indignation upon the mad-house doctor. H e had j u s t about finished his work when a cry of alarm from Nora reached his ear, and looking up he saw in the moonlight three of the keepers rapidly bearing down upon them from the direction of the house. Casting the limp and apparently lifeless form of the sadly demoralized doctor from him, he sprang to his feet. T w o keepers were only a dozen y a r d s away as he bounded through the opening while Nora held the gate open for him, and no sooner did she sec that he was s a f e t h a n with all her strength she closed the ponderous structure. J a c k w a s quickly at her side and seeing the key in tho lock comprehended her strategy. J u s t as he turned this the three keepers on the Inside hurled themselves igainst the covered gate, but they had ^een a few seconds too late. With a laugh J a c k burled the heavy key far away among the bushes. Then, holding bis revolver in one hand and assisting Nora with the other, he rapidly left the spot. It would be some time at least before a regularly organized pursuit could be started, for they would have to first resuscitate the doctor, and J a c k chuckled to think what s sweet task th.^y would hove before them, as he remembered how black the mad-house doctor hsd become In the face before he wss done with him. T h e neighborhood of the msd house w s s singularly lonely, not s house being in sight either up or down the river, but J s c k knew where he wss siming for, having studied t h e country well when he came and before applying for the situstion. Along through the dense undergrowth they made their w s y , leaving the msd house f u r t h e r behind them all the while, but although for a time all seemed going well, danger was not far a w a y . Suddenly Nora laid her hand upon tho arm of her companion and brought him to a full pause. " L i s t e n ! " she said, hoarsely. They stood like statues for half a minute. their ears on the alert for sounds. T h e n J a c k recognised a cry as one he had often heard among the swamps of the South. It was the long-drawn bay of a bloodhound. T h e doctor had set loose his dogs. "Come," said J s c k , hastily, "let us fly. T h e doctor himself must be with those who are in our r^ar, and, should they come up with us, tbey would just as soon let the brutes attack us. Can you run, Nora?" She showed him that she could, but the thickets barred their progress considerably. They had the satisfaction of knowing. however, that their pursuers were no better off. for they could hear tho impatient noises given vent to by the hounds as they struggled In leash. J a c k still had hif a r m around his companion, but had long slnee replaced the revolver, as he needed his good right hand to assist him in his passage through the thickets, and, be<ide8, he would probably have plenty of warning ere the pursuers came upon them.

Labor disputes are few, the anthracite coal strike being the only one that r e t a r d s progress, and each week shows some increase in output. Fall distribution of merchandise h a s begun unusually early, while the volume of orders already placed indicates much the heaviest aggregate on record." T h e foregoing is from the weekly t r a d e review of R. G. Dun Co. It continues: At the South and West conditions are especially favorable, shipping departments working vigorously, nnd payments are promptly made. Traffic congestion causes complaint, yet railway earnings thus f a r available for September show a gain of 4.0 per cent over last year's returns, and 15.7 per cent over 1900. New England m a n u f a c t u r e r s of footwear are well occupied, new business coming forward more rapidly than old orders are filled in many cases, so that activity is assured well into the f u t u r e . L e a t h e r is quiet, with no sign of weakness, but large receipts of cattle at western markets caused a slight reduction in prices of packer hides from the rocordbreaking figures t h a t have prevailed. Cotton gooda are more firmly held, as the r a w material develops strength, aud light stocks in first hands give the market additional support. Woolens and worsteds are notably quiet because leading concorns have sold their entire product of staple goods. Official returns of foreign commerco during August show the improvement in exports over the two preceding months that was indicated by weekly movemfiit of merchandise and staples, and imports f a r surpass the eorrespondlng month in preceding years.
