What apiece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculties! in form and muring how express and. admirable! in action ho* tike an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals: -SHAKESPEARE. How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the world’s great est mind How intinite the scope of man’s power if his faculties are well preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Intinite Power. Yet what is this “quint essence of dust when blasted by disease—his noble functions per verted or destroyed As all men are born free and equal,” as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long us children must suffer for the sins of their parents this can not be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conced ed question. To restore it is an impossibility, as long as people persist in immorality and indul gences which are in disregard of nature’s laws. The most we can do then is to ameliorate this con dition, and cure disease in indi viduals. To this end we offer to the pub lic, remedies which have done more good—accomplished better results in overthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz DR. FLOWER’S LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE, AND NERVE PILLS. The former is an infallible remedy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is a reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous Prostration, Depression caused by overwork, etc. These remedies are extensively prescribed by physicians, (a recom mendation which does not obtain with any other proprietary article,) and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a larger sale than any other medicine. IN HUNDREDS OF THOU SANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As positive evidence wo have thou sands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be, mailed free upon applica tion. flower MEDICINE 00., Boston Mass _ •OLD BY ALL DRUCCI8T8. PRICE ONE DOLLAR. oeti(7t>wlm BY TELEBRAPH. weather KKP1IKT.

Death of a Murderer Caused by Mental Depression. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6. Geo. W. Cheeves, confined in Fulton countv jail, died Thursday afternoon, of de pression brought on by mental alteration. Cheeves was editor of the Dawson Journal and was a college professor as well. On the 25th of October, 1884, he shot and killed Capt. J. H. Pickett. Cheeves had promised to support Picket for the legislature, but did not. Pickett cut Cheeves’ acquaintance. This so worked upon the editor's mind that he procured a gun, sought out Pickett, and shot him dead. He was then brought here for a safe place. Two months ago it became evident that his depression had developed into disease and would kill him unless he was relieved Then it was discovered that un der the law tli-.re was no officer who could interfere. THROWN OFF. A W oman, Frightened by the Passengers, Throws Her Child from the Train. Montreal, Nov. 6. A woman named Fortin threw her 10 year old boy off the morning train at Bonaventure today, because he had small pox. Before the attention of the physician in charge at the depot could be drawn to the fact that the boy was suffering from the disease the train was off. The loutl mutterings of the passengers evidently frightened the mother, for just after leaving the yard, and while the train was running at a rate of six miles an hour, she took the boy to the platform of the car and threw him from the train. She has been ar rested. Pilot Boat Sunk. New York, Not. 6. Tugboat B. F. Haviland brought to port this afternoon four of the pilots and five of the crew of the pilot boat Mary and Catha rine.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR Control the City of Galveston—No Freight Handled in the City. Galveston, Tex., Nov. 6. The boycotting bv Knights of Labor of the Mallory Steamship Company and on the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe railroad continues practically unchanged. No signs of settle ment are visible. The executive committee of the Knights of Labor has given permission to printers, newspaper men and clerks in the city to resume work subject to a moments notice to again suspend The order, however, effects less than a hundred men and is no concession. Public opinion is strongly against the boycotting The City Press publishes homilies on the strike but thus far have not assailed the Knights of Labor. The commerce of Galveston is entirely suspended, no freight entering the city. The heavy demurrage ac cumulating on foreign shipping in the port has caused great uneasiness in marine cir cles. Vessels continue to arrive dailv thus swelling the idle fleet. The strikers are supreme masters of the situation, granting permission to the railroads to run water trains and keep their roads in good repair, but strictly prohibiting freight from entering the city. Houston, Tex., Nov. 6. Not a single car of freight arrived over the Houston Texas Central road, Thursday. AH freight trains on this line are side-tracked, in consequence of the strike in Galveston. Over 100 cars of freight are now in the yard awaiting delivery to the Missouri Pacific road for Galveston. MONTREAL’S TROUBLE. Newspapers Create a Great Sensation in Their Attacks Upon the Mayor. New York. Nov. 6. A Montreal special to the Post says Mon treal is evidently on the eve of another riot. The forcible removal of Gagnon’s children to the hospital by the mayor and sanitary offi cials have evoked a show of indignation from the French papers, in which the Mayor ^de scribed as a murderer and revolutionary au tocrat. Says the La Monte ‘‘You have no heart. You have not got the right to mal treat those who have the honor of having one. Your inhuman and barberous conduct caused the death of brave Gagnon’s child. You are responsible for this death. Thurs day, you triumphed over poor and courageous Gagnon, for when you took his children and wife, and when you hare thrown him into prison with one of his children, you are vic torious, but your injustices, your cruelties and your barbarisms already cover you with shame and disgrace.” The La Minerve goes further and invites the populace to resist the officers. As a re sult the Mayor has issued warrants for the arrest of the editor ot the La Monte, and the sub-editor of the La Monte on the charge of personal and seditious libel. 1 HE CHINESE DIFFICULTY. The Inhabitants ot Seattle Wild With Eiciteraeut. Portland, Ore., Nov. b. A special from Seattle, W. T., says: Much disappointment exists here among law abiding citizens over Gov. Squire’s proc lamation. They hare asked that troops be sent here and think the presence of troops is absolutely necessary to preserve peace. The Governor's proclamation will have no effect, they say. A conference was held yesterday afternoon, between the leaders of the anti Chinese organization and a committee of cit izens and a committee oi Chinese merchants. The latter agreed to leave if paid for their property. One Chinese firm ha* 8130,000 invested. Last night a public iqpeting was held, at which members of the peace commit tee and the anti-Chinese agitators spoke. References to the outrages at Tacoma were greeted with loud cheers. The city is in a fever oi excitement and it is feared that trouble will occur before the end of the week. It is believed by conservative citicens that the presence of United States troops will pre vent bloodshed. IOWA. The Republican Majority in the State Over 6000—The Legislative Strongly Republican. Des Moines, Nov. 6. The State Register has complete returns from 93 out of the 99 counties in the State. In the 93 counties reported Larrabee has 8161 majority over Whitney. The six coun ties unreported gave, two years ago, 1329 combinrd opposition majority on the gover nor. If they should stay the same, it would leave the net republican majority 6832. But the Register admits there will be a net repub lican loss in these six counties of 500, leav ing Larrabee’s total majority 6332. The Register has complete and definite returns from all legislative districts in the State. The only changes made Friday is that Case, fusion, for senator is elected in the fourth dis trict by 15 majority, and that in Cedar coun ty, in doubt. Thursday, Carrigan, rep was elected by 106 majority. The Senate will therefore stand 30 republicans to 20 fusionists, and the House 60 republicans to 39 fusionists, and one independent republican. JOHN MCCULLOUGH,THE ACTOR. A Maiked Improvement in his Condition. Philadelphia, Nov. 6 Wm. F. Johnson, counsel for John McCul lough the actor, said this forenoon :—“I sha.l not be surprised if John McCullough is re stored to health. I visited him yesterday, and found him much improved. He was stronger than before, and appeared to be men tally well. He recognized me, and answered several questions I asked, unhesitatingly. Dr. Engti, his physician, says he has every reason to beHeve lie wiU continue to improve There is a crisis approaching, and if he passes it safely his friends can hope for the best. He had an attack of convulsions on the 15th of last month, and a recurrence ia expected about the same time this month; this is dan gerous, of course, but McCullough is gain ing strength rapidly. He may fight it off if it comes without difficulty.” Cyclone in Illinois.

A BULLION AIRE’S DEATH BED. Senator 8haroa Disposes ot His Worldly Goods. San Francisco, Not. 6. Ex-Senator Sharon, of California, is on his death bed here. Several weeks ago he was prostrated by a malarial fever. At first but little heed was given to his sickness. The Senator bad had at different times attacks that apparently were more serious. His doc tors were taken off their guard, and before they were aware of it their patient’s condi tion became critical His death has been momentarily expected for 24 hours. He is at the Palace Hotel, which he built, and which he has managed for eight years. Knowing that bis end was near he sent for his friend, Lloyd Levis, of the Wells, Fargo Express company. Senator Sharon is suf fering from neuralgia of the heart. In an ticipation of his approaching death he Yester day deeded all his property to his son, Fred Sharon, and his son-in-law, Frank G. New land, in trust lor his heirs. His estate is valued at $6,000,000, and embraces property in California, Missouri and the District of Columbia. It is to be divided into three equal portions among his children, Clara, Fred and Flora, now Lady Hesketh. or their heirs. The three children of Clara, who is deceased, will each receive one-’hird of her share, The deed ignores all other relatives Senator Sharon has been well known for his great wealth, and during later years bss gained an unwelcome prominence "from the divorce suit to which he has been a party. A HOUSE OE TORTURE. Scandalous state of Affairs in the Mary* land House of Correction. Baltimore, Nov. 6. For some days past a committee has been examining into the management of the Mary land Houge of Correction at Baltimore, under orders received from the board of managers, and their statement shows an almost incredi bly disgraceful state of affairs. General Frank A. Bond, who was appointed superin tendent of the institution by Governor Mc Lane, is charged with the most inhuman treatment of prisoners under his charge, as of gross mismanagement of the affairs of the institution. It was ascertained that in August last a white man had been given 39 lashes with a raw hide on his bare back, and made to wear a heavy ball of iron. A colored man, who was ordered to receive five lashes with the cattail whip was given twenty with a raw hide, because it was claimed that a cat has {our strings, and five strokes with it equals twenty with a rawhide. Another man was confined eight days in a dark cell on bread and water. The ball and chain was attached to prisoners unnecessarily, and shower baths were administered cruelly. In addition to these charges the committee accuses General Bond of misappropriation of the funds af the institution, and of allowing the men employ ed about the place to absent themselves tor political purposes. It was unanimously voted to dispense with his services. CANADIAN PACIFIC K. R. Congratulatory Despatches Received by the President ol the Road. Montreal. Nov. 6.

A Man and Wile Fonnd Dead in Their Beds. Denver, Col., Nov. 6. A special from Salidasays Dr. J. H. Non amaker and his wife were found dead in bed Thursday morning, with bullet holes in their temples. From letters left by them it seems that both had grown discouraged over their inability to get persons to endorse a note for 8400, and had agreed to commit suicide to gether Wednesday night. At 12 o’clock was the time agreed upon to put their resolution into effect. They retired with loaded pistols, and when the clock told the hour of midnight each fired, dying in stantly, As Nonomaker was jealous and brutal, the general belief is that he killed his wife during a jealous fit. wrote the letter and then committed suicide.

The Indian bureau has received a report from the agent of Leech Lake Chiflewas stating that they are in comfortable circum stances and not threatened with starving as they have been reported. The resignations of J. W. Meldruro, sur veyor general of WyomiDg, and Hiram Van Arman, secretary of Arizona, have been ac cepted. Col. Thomas L. Casey in a report to the secretary of war states that the circle at the iutersection of First street and Maryland avenue southwest has been selected as the site for the statute of the late President Gar field and that the contract for erecting and completing the pedestal on or before July 1st, 1886, for $29,000, was made with J.

There were pending and undetermined June 1, 1881, 295* claims and accounts, and November 1st, 2780. The comptroller states that the work of the accounting officers is greatly embarrassed because of the presenta tion of old state demands, and the difficulty of determining the truth in regard to the transactions out of which they arose, and suggests the enactment of a statute composing a reasonable limitation of time within which all claims, either in favor or against the gov ernment, should be presented to the account ing officers. This would, he says, facilitate the transaction of public business, and pro mote the ends of justice. Bv a general order issued late this after noon from the headquarters of the army, Gen. Sheridan filled the vacancies upon his personal staff created by the relief of two aides de camp, pursuant to orders from the war department. The newly appointed aides are Lieut. Col.

Sheridan as his per sonal aides are likely to give general satis faction. TROUBLE APPREHENDED By Boomers in Washington Territory. Little Rock, Ark., Nor. 6. Advices from Indian Territory say that boomers have secured a foothold in Oklahoma and that it will take U. S. troops some time to clear the country of them. Washington authorities authorize expulsion of all persons found in the Territory named without per mits. But as the intruders are scattered over a wide scope of the country, difficulty will be experienced in driving them out. There are numbers of armed men and the possibility of a fight between the boomers and troops is by no means remote. The statement is made that the leaders desire to bring about a con flict on the eve of the assembly of Congress, so that a Congressional action may be had and Gklaliama be legally opened for settlement. The Indians are reported as becoming rest less under the situation, though they antici pate no outbreak. Riel Pronounced n Lunatic. Ottawa, Nov. 6.

The Post’s Montreal special says: It is semi-offlcially stated that it has been decided not to appoint a commission to enquire into Kiel’s sanity and he will probably be executed.

KRKBKRICK ROBIK. Ily the Governor. OK.VMANDAI. SMITH, Secretary of State. King Alfonso ol Spain is ill enough to have his health inquired after by the Queen of England, and that means very ill indeed. l’resident Hyde of bowdoin College contributes to the New York Independent of this week an interesting article, entitled “The New Economic Man." M. liartholdi expresses the hope that his statue of Liberty will be set up by the 4th of July. M. liartholdi has just arrived at New York, and is to bo excused for his very natural misapprehension of the meth ods of the metropolis in the statue and monument business. Senator Loland Stanford ot California has given orders to complete the legal ex ecution of his magnificent gift to educa tion, by making in trust a deed of his three immense ranches, know as Vina, Gridley and Palo Alto, for the endowment of a university and schools about to be erected at Palo Alto. The three ranches comprise 85,000 acres and represent a value of $3,500,000. Mormon bishop Sharp did a sensible thing in renouncing the practico of polyg. amy and in complying with tne law. but he is mistaken in supposing that the peo ple ot the United States will ever make any compromise with the Mormons on this matter. The question will be solved by all the men of the Mormon church fol lowing in the bishop's footsteps, and abandoning polygamy, and in no other way. Nothing short of unconditional surrender will ever be accepted. The result in New York leaves the State debatable, and there will be no important election before 1888 to aid in settling its position. The next election for Governor oomes In 1888, on the same day with the Presidential contest. The only State offi cers to be chosen meanwhile are the Sec retary of Slate, Comptroller and other secondary officers whose election will take place in 1887. This absence of any decisive test will leave New York sur rounded wiih peculiar doubt and interest. The Chief of the bureau of Statistics re ports that the total number of immigrants who arrived at the ports of the United Slates from the principal foreign coun tries. during the month ended September 30. 1885, and the nine months ended the the same, as compared witli the same pe riods of the preceding year, was as fol lows: For the month of September, 27, 801 against 33,395 in September, 1884 for the nine months ended with September, 268,836 against 336,449 in the same peri od of 1884. Col. Howard of Cleveland, Ohio, an officer who served in the civil war, has come to the reseue of Mr. Chauneey De pew with corroborative testimony. He relates that in the Spencer House, Cincin nati, in 1866, President Johnson said “It the people of the south elect Representa tives and send them to the House they shall be seated at all hazards, even if it has to be done by force of arms.” This was spoken, according to Col. Howard, in presence of Gen. Jefferson C. Davis, Gen. J. C. Steadman. Gen. Custer and Gen. Rousseau. The scene was a room in the hotel mentioned, occupied by Judge Keys, Colonel of United States Volunteer* and Judge Advocate, General ot the Army of the Potaraac. Some of these gentlemen should speak out at once and prevent any more incomplete histories of the United States from being published.

It was becoming too much for flesh anil blood to boar. From the first moment of my arrival I had heard no othtw, and I had begun to detest its very sound.” CHAPTER IV. INTRODUCES WILLIAM JONES AND IIIB FATHER. My story Is now bound to follow in the footstejM of Mstt, who, on quitting the pres ence of her artist friend, walked rapidly along tho sand-incumbered road in the direction of the sea. Hklrtlng the lake upon the left band, and still having the ocean of sandhills upon her right, she gradually slackened her jiace. A kjpertator. bail lie been by, would have doubt less oheerved that the change was ow ing to mail n meditation; that, in other words. Matt bad fallen into a brown study. Preeently sbe sat down upon a convenient •tone, or pice of rock, and, resting her elbows on hme along with me, and if it Is summat. TO gie thee tuppence some o’ these fine days.” As he turned to go, his eyes fell for the first time on her attire. “What's this. Matt? What are you doing in your Hun iay clothes?” The girl cs at a loss how to reply. She blushed scarlet, and hung down her heed. Fortunately for her, the man was too ab sorbcd in his main object of thought to cate chise her further. He only shook his fat head in severe diamprobation, and led the way down to a small creek in the rocks, where a rough coble was rocking, secured by a rusty chain. “Jump in and take the paddles. Ill hi axtarn anil keep watch. The girl obeyed and leaped in; but before sitting down she tucked up her dress to her knees to avoid the dirty water in the bottom of the boat. William Jones followed, and pushed off with his hands. Calm aJ the water was, there was a heavy shoreward swell, on which they were immediately uplifted, with some danger of being swept buck on the rocks; but Mutt handled the paddles like one to the manor born, aad the boat shot out swiftly o:i tho shining sea. The sun was burning with almost insuffer able brightness, and the light blazed on the golden mirror of the water with blinding, re fracted rays. Crouching in the stern of the boat, William Jones shaded his eyes with both hands and gazed intently on the object he had discovered far out to sea. Now and then he made a rapid motion to guide the girl in her rowing, but he did not speak a word. Oh, how hot it was out thereon the wideless waves! For some time Matt pulhd on in silence; but at lost she could bear it no longer, and rested on her oars, with the warm per spiration streaming down her freckled cheeks. “Pull away, Matt,” said the man, not look ing at her. “You ain't tired, not youl” With a long-drawn breath Matt drew in the oars, and, swift as thought, peeled off her jacket and threw off her hat, leaving her head exposed to the burning sun. Now, the silk gown she wore had evidently been used by its original owner as a festal raiment, for it had been cut low, and had short sleeves. So Matt's shoulders and arms were perfectly bare, and very while they looked in contrast with her sun-freckled hand;;, her sun-burned face, and her warm brown neck. Her bust was as yet undeveloped, but her neck and shoulders were fine, and her arms beautifully molded. Altogether, her friend the painter, could he have seen her just then, would have regarded her with increasing admiration. Freed from the incumbrance of her jacket, she now pulled away with easy grace and skill. Fai her and farther the boat receded from shore, till the promontory they had left was a couple of miles away. Suddenly Wil liam Jones made a sign to the girl to stop, and stood up in the boat to reconnoitre. The object at which he had been gazing so long was now clearly visible. It consisted of something black, floating on a glassy stretch of water, and surrounded by fragments of loose scum or froth; it was to all appearance motionless, but was, in reality, drifting wearily shoreward on the flowing tide. William Jones now evinced increasing ex citement, anil urged his companion to hurry quickly forward—which she did, putting out all her strength in a series of rapid and power ful strokes. Another quarter of an hour brought them to the spot where the object was floating. Trembling with eagerness, the man leaned over the boat’s side with out stretched hands. As he did so Matt turned her head -away with a curious gesture of dread. “What, is it, William Join'sr she asked, not looking at him. “It isn’t—you know—one o’ them T’ “No, it ain’t!" replied the man, leaning over the side of the coble, and tilting the gunwale almost to the water’s edge. “Too early for them, Matt. If they conies, it won’t tie till Sunday’s tide. They’re down at the bottom now, and ain’t yet rose. Easy! Lean ’tother way I Bo there—look out I" As he sjioke, he struggled with something In the water, and at last, with an effort which almost cajisizeil the Isiat, pulled it in. Mutt looked now, and saw that it was a small, flat, wooden trunk, covered with pieces of slimy weed. Floating near it were several piecg of splintered wood, which seemed to have formed part of a boat. These, too, William secured and threw down on the footboard beneath him. "It’s a box, that's what it is,” cried Matt. “It's a Ikix, surely,” said Jones. “And it’s locked, too. And, look ye now. I misdoubt there’s nowt inside, or mayhap it would have sunk. Howsomever, we’ll see!" After an unavailing effort to force it open with his hands lie drew forth a largo clasp knife, worked away at the Jock, anil triad to force open the lid, which soon yielded to his efforts, as the action of the suit water hail al.eady lieguu to rot the wood. On being thus opened the box was found to contain only a couple of coarse linen shirts, an old newspaper, two or three biscu.ts, and half a bottle of some ilark fluid. After examining these articles one by one William Jones threw them liack into the box with gestures of disgust, retaining only the bottle, which he uncorked and applied to his lips. “Rum!" he said, smacking his lips and nod ding at Matt. Then, racorking the bottle carefully, he returned it to the Imx, anil, standing up, reconnoitred the sea on every side. Rut nothing else rewarded his eager search; he threw himself down in the stern of the boat and ordered Matt to pull back to shore. As they went he closed one eye thought fully and mused aloud: “Night afore last it blew half a gale from the southard. This here Imx came awash from the east coast of Ireland. May be it was a big ship as was lost; them planks was part of the weaml’s long-boat. More's coming if tlie wind don't come up from ihe Durrani. The moon's full to-night and to-morrow. I’ll tell the old 'uu. and keep a sharp lookout off the Caldron Hint." Matt rowed on steadily till they came with in a quarter of a tnilo of the shore, when Wil liam Join's stood up again and reconnoitred the prospect inland. “Pull in, Matt!” be said, after a minute. “All's square 1" Boon afterward tho boa; reached the rocks William Jones sprang out and, running up U the platform above, took another survey. This being satisfactorv, he ran down agaix tnd lifte 1 the box out of the boat, carrying It wi, h ea- e under one arm. “Make the boat fast," he said, in a husky whisper; “and bring them bits o’ wood along with you for the tire. I’ll cut on to the cot tage with tins h re. It ain’t much, but it's ninuuat, so Til carry it clean out o’ sight be fore them precious coastguards come smell ing about." With these words he clambered up the rocks with his burden, leaving Matt to fal low leisurely in his wake. CHAPTER V. CONCLUDES WITH A KISS. Net far from the spot where William Jones had landed, and removed some little distance from the deserted village, with its desolate main street and rootless habitations, there stood a low, one storied cottage, quite as Mack wd as any of the aban doned dwellings in Us vicinity. It was built sf atone and roofed with slate, bat the door way was composed of old ship's timber, and tbs one mall window it contained had orig inally tanned the window of a ship's cabin. Over the door was placed, like a sign, the wooden iignre-bead of a young woman, naked to the waist, holding a mirror in her hand and regarding herself with remarkable com placency, despite the tact that accident had deprived her of a nose and one eye, and that the beautiful red complexion and jet black hair she had once possessed had been entirely washed away by the action of the elements, leaving her all over of a leprous pallor. The rest of the building, as I have suggested, was of sinist/ r blackness, though here and there it was gprinhled with wet sea sand. Sand, too, ley on every side, covered a smell patch, originally meant for a garden, and drifted thichlv uo to the verv door. To this cottage William Jones ran with his treasure trove, and, entering it without cere mony, found himself in almost total dark ness; for the light which crept through the blackened panes of the small windows was only jutt sufficient to make darkness visible. Bat this wi >rtky seaside character, having, in addition to a cat's predatory instincts, some thing of a cat's power of vision, clearly dis cern'd everything in the chamber he just en tered—a m le, stone paved kitchen, with an open fireplace and no grate, black rafters overhead, from which suspended sundry lean pieces of bacon; a couple of wooden chairs, a table, and in one corner a sort of bed in the wall, where a human figure was reposing. Setting down the trunk on the floor, he marched right over to the lied and uncere moniously shook the individual lying upon it, whor.i he discovered to be a man, mutter ing in a heavy sleep. Finding that he did not wa’;e with shaking, William Jones bent down owl cried lustily in his ear: “Wreck! wreck ashore!” The et'ect was instantaneous. The figure rose up in l ri, disclosing the head and shoul d s of a very old man, who wore a red cotton night cap, and whose hair and beard were as white as snow. “Ehi Wheerl Wheer!” he cried in a shrill treble, looking vacantly arouud him. “Wake up, old’un,” sai l W Iliam, seizing him and shaking him again. “It’s me, Wil liam Jones.” “William! Is it my son William!” re turned the old man, peering out into the darkness. “Yes, father. Look ye now, you was a-talking again in your sleep, you was. A good thing no one heerd you but your son Villiai Some o’ thesedays you’ll be letting summat out, you will, if you go on like this. The old man shook his head feebly, then claspiflg his bauds together in a kind of rap ture, he looked at bis son and said: “Yes, William, I was a-dreaming. Oh, it was such a heavingly dream! I was a-stand iug on the shore, William, and it was a-blow ing hard from the east, and all at once I see a ship as big as an Indiaman come in wi’ all sail set, and go ashore; and I looked round, William dear, and there was no one nigh but you and me; and when she broke up I see gold and silver and jewels come washiqg ashore just like floating weeds, and the drowndeil, every on* of 'em, had rings on their fingers and gold watches and cheens, and, more’n that, that their hands was full of Bbining gold; and one on ’em—a lady, William—hail a bright diamond ring, as big as a walnut; but when I tried to pull it off it wouldn’t come; and just as I pulled out my leetle knife to cut the finger off, and put it in my pocket, you shook me, William, anil woke me up. Oh, it was a heavingly dream!” William Jones had listened with ill-dis guised interest to the early [art of this speech, but, on its conclusion, he gave an otlu r grunt of undissembleil disgust. “Well, you’re awake now, old ’un; so jump up. I’ve brought summat home. Look sharp, and get a light” Thereupon the old man, who was fully dressed in a pair of old woolen trousers and a guernsey, slipped from the bed and began fumbling about the room. He soon found what he wanted—a box of matches and a rude, home-made candle, fashioned of a long, coarse reed dipped in sheep's tallow; but, owing to the (act that he was exceedingly (eeble and tremulous, he was so long in light ing up that his gentle sun grew impatient “Here, give ’an to me!” said William. “You’re wasting them matches just as if they cost nowt. A precious fath r you are, and no mistake.” The candle being lighted and burning with a feeble flame, he informed the old man of what ho had found. In a moment the latter was down on his knees, opening the box anil greedily examining its contents. But William pushed him impatiently away and dosed the lid with a bang. “Theer, enough o’ that, old 'un! You hold the light while I carry the box in and put it away.” “All right William dear—all right,” re turned the old man, obeying gleefully. “I know'd we should have luck, by that beauti iul dream.” The two men—one holding the light and the other carrying the trunk—passed through a door at the hack of the kitchen and entered an inner chamber. This chamber, too, con tained a window, which was so blocked up, however, by lumber of all kinds that Iittla or no daylight entered. Piled up in great confusion were old socks, some partly full, some empty; coils of rope, broken oars, broken fragments of ships’ planks, rotten anil hamacted; a small boat’s rudder, dirty sails, several oilskin coats, hits of iron ballast and other flotsam and jetsam; so that the chari her hod a (alt and fish-like smell, suggesting tlio hold of some vessel. But in one comer of tho room was a small wood n bed, with a mattress a 1 coarse bed-clothing, and hang ing ou a nail close to it was certain feminine attire v hich tho owner of the caravan would have recognized as the garb worn by Matt on the morning of her first apjiearance. Placing the box down, William Jones care fully covered it with a portion of an old sail. “It’s summat, but it ain't much.” he mut tered, discontentedly. “Lucky them coast guards didn't see me come ashore. If they did. though, it wouldn’t signify; for what's floating on the sea belongs to him as finds it” A sound startled him as ho spoke, and, looking n mnd suspiciously, ho saw Matt en tering tho room, loaded with brohen wood. Bat rho was not alone; standing b hind her in the shadow was a man—none other, indeed, than Monk, of Monkshurst While Matt enter.sl the room to throw down her load of wood Monk stood in the doorway. His quick eye had noted the move ments of fa her and son. ‘•Horn plunder, William Jones!” he asked grimly. in a moment Uliain Jones was trans formed. Tha keen expression of his face change 1 to one of mingled stupidity and sad nes.'; ho began to whine. “Mere p. under, Mr. Monk.r he said. “No, no: the days for finding that is gone. Matt and mo has been on the shore foraging for a bit o’ fi' 1‘vood—that be all. Put it down. Matt; put it down." Matt d.il a; she was told; opening her anus sha threw her had into a corner of the room; then WUliuni J ;n s hurried the whole party back into tho kit hen. The men seated themselves on benches, but Matt move 1 about the room to get a light. The light, as well as everything else, was a living illustration of the meanness of William Jone.^ It consisted not of a candle, but of a long rush, which had been gathered from the marshes by Malt, and afterward dried and dipped in grease by William Jones. Matt lighusd it and fixed it in a little iron niche which was evidently made for the purpose, and which was attached to a table near the hearth. When the work was fini-hed, she threw off her hat and Jacket, retired to the farther end of the hearth, and sat down on tbe floor. During the whole at this Him Mr. Monk had been watching her gloomily; and be had b*««i watched in his torn by William Jama. At last the latter spoke: 7 “Matt's (rowed," said he; “she's (rowed 'w'*derful. Lord blsss ns! she's bit chained Ask A' 1 night a hen yon fohnd. her down on the shore. Why, her own friends wouldn't know her!” Me Monk started and frowned. “Her friendsP he said—“what friepdsr “Why, them aa owns her,” continued Wil liam Jones. “If they wasn't all drownded in the skip what she came ashore from they must be samewheer. Mayhap some day they'll And her, and reward me for bringin' her up a good gal—that's what I alius tel] her.” •■rfo that’s what you always tell her, do you.1’’ returned Monk, grimly. “Then you’re a fool lor your pains. Tho girl’s got no friends —haven't I t-i.1 you that before f” “Certainly you h_ve, Kr. Monk,” returned William Jones, meekly; ‘‘but look ye now, I think-” “You’ve no right to think,” thundered Monk; “you re not paid for thinking; you’re paid for keeping the girt, and what more do you want!—iiatt,” he continued, in a softer tone, “come to me.” But Matt didn't hear—or, at any rate, did not haed; for she made no movement. Then Monk, gazing intently at her, gave vent to the same remark as William Jones had done a few hours before: “Where have you been to-day,” he said, “to have on that frock*” Again Matt hung her head and was silent. Mornc repeated his question; and, seeing that he was determined to have an an wer, she threw up her head defiantly, and said, with a tone of pride in her voice: “I put it on to be took 1” “To be took!” repeated Monk. “Yes.” returned Matt; “to have my like ness took. There be a painter chap here that lives in a cart; he's took it It was curious to note the changes in Mr. Monk’s face. At first he fried to appear amiable; then his face gradually darkened into a look of angry suspicion. Matt never once withdrew her eyes from him—his very presence seemed to rouse all that was bad in her; apd she glared at him through her tangled locks in much the same manner as a shaggy terrier puppy might gaze at a bull which it would fain attack, but feared on ac count of its superior strength. “Matt,” said Mr. Monk again, “come here.” This time she obeyed; he rose slowly from her seat and went reluctantly to his side. “Matt, look me In the face,” he said. “Do you kuow who this painter is i” Matt shook her head. “How many times have you seen him!" “Twice.” “And what has he said to you!” “A lot o’ tilings.” “Tell me one thing!” “He asked me who my mother was, and I told him I hadn't got none.” Mr. Monk's face once more grew black as night. “So,” he said, “poking and prying and ask ing questions. I thought as much. He’s a scoumlrelly vagabond 1” “No, ho ain't,” said Matt, bluntly. “Matt, my girl,” said Mr. Monk, taking no notice of her interruption, “I want you to promise me something. “What is it!” “Not to go near that painter againr1 Matt shook her head. “Shan’t promise," she said, “’cause I «h«ll go. My likeness ain’t took yet—he takes a time, he does. I’m going to put them things on to-morrow and be took again.” For a moment the light iu his eyes looked dangerous, then he smiled and patted her cheek—at which caress she shrank away. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “Nothing,” said Matt. “I don't like to be pulled about, that’s all.” “You mean you don’t like met” “Don’t know. That’s telling.” “And yet you’ve no cause to hate me, Matt, for I've been a good friend to you—and al ways shall, because I like you, Matt. Do you understand, I like you f" So anxious did be seem to impress this upon her that he put his arm around her waist, drew her toward him and kissed her on the cheek, a ceremony he bad never performed before. But Matt seemed by no means to appreciate the honor; as his lips touched her cheeks she shivered, and when he released her she begun rubbing at the place as if to wipe the touch away. If Mr. Monk noticed this action on the port of the girl he deemed it prudent to take no notice of it. He said a few more pleasant things to Matt, and again patted her cheek affectionately: then he left the cottage, taking William Jones with him.
