CHAPTER VII-CoxTtxuED.
"Oh , Mimi , do not let him say
that ! Ho is not dead' He will come
back ! " says Maud , in an agony of
grief and despair , appealing in a
r heart-broken manner to her friend
and mother. "And it was not all
my fault And-and I will not be.
lieve that he is dead ! It would be
too cruel ! "
"What a gloomy room , and what
a gloomy topic ! Who is talking of
death ? " asks a gay , glad , young
voice from the door-way , that thrills
the listeners to their hearts' core.
It is a voice that makes the old
man start and tremble violently , and
hold exit his arms in expectation ,
with a suppressed but thankful cry.
Yet for the first time his loving ,
'greeting i5 overlooked , is cast aside.
A slight figure , half hidden by the
dusk , but discernible to the eyes of
za lover , has chained the newcomer's
; attention , and , oblivious of his
father and of all things , Dick Pen-
: ruddock goes eagerly up to it. At
the stfnnd of his voice Maud has
aais.d herself , and , breaking now
from Mrs. Neville , goes quickly to
him , and , with an impulsive gesture ,
lays her hands upon his shoulders.
"it is indebd you ! You have really -
ly come , back to me ? " she gasps , in
a little , tremulous whistler , that
11 plainir tells her love and i ratitude.
"Yes ; to you ! " responds he gladly.

why. I really think lie must have

through. or else he had tired of
b killing. . So you see I was bound to
collie back , like that inevitable bad
ooiu , you know. Why , what is this ?
Arc those tears , my love-are they
shed for me ? "
Sue is looking up at him with
eyes full of teats , and pink lids , and
pallid cheeks ; yet never has she ap-
1meaied to him so beautiful as now ,
when decked with these signs of woe
that are worn for love of him.
" "My dear Dick , what a fright you
have given us ! " says Mrs. Neville ,
witli a deep sigh , half of relief , half
of annoyance. "Why , we have been
xnourning you as past all help in this
world , during the last hour ; and
.10W'nere you are. safe and sound !
I really think you ought to be
ashmed of yourself , and ought also
- to otter us a profuse apology. "
, "For being alive , " smiled Dick.
"Yes-no , Imean. no- Dear me ,
. I lardly know what I am 'saying ;
but you really ought to tent sorry
for all the trouble you have caused. "
"have you nothing to say to your
father ? " nays Penruddock , at the far
cnd of the room. . 'That young

Dick , affectionately , placing his

"No lucky chance , but the news

And the young man , smiling in
; urn , pi c8505 her hand. takes up his
' '

hat , and quits the room. Penrud-
dock , , having made his adieux 'hi
more elaborate form , goes 'slowly
downstairs , and into the halL As
he passes a room the door of which
is no3v open , a womantall and dark-
brewed , comes quickly forward , as
though summoned by his footstep ,
and confronts him. As his eyes
light upon her , a ghastly change
comes over him. He is white as a
sheet , seems to shrink and grow
smaller , and draws his breath heav-
ily.
"IVell , Penruddock ; " she says , in
accents slow and distinot , appearing
to enjoy his discomfiture ; "and so we
meet again. How pleased you look ! "
"What has brought you here ? " do-
mande he , hoarselylooking nervously -
ly around.
"Fate ! " replies she coldly.
"But here-what has
- brought you
here ? " asks he , as though unable to
refrain from idle questioning.
The woman , bending toward him ,
1 lays her bony hand upon his wrist.
"To help you to remember , " whispers -
pors she , in a tone that makes him
shudder , so much compressed hatred
lies within it. ' 'Have you forgot-
teli ? Fifteen years ago thig month ,
Penruddock ! Fifteen years ago ! "
So'saying , she turns abruptly , and
enters the room again. Penruddock l
1 follows her.
"Stay , woman ! " he exclaims.
f "Be not so eager , " replies Esther ;
"we shall meet again. "
By this time she has reached a door
otposite to that by which she had '
entered that room , opens , and darts
through it , closing it quickly behind -
hind her. Penruddock would still
follow her , but , reaching the door
through wli'ch the woman has gone ,
he finds it locked against him.
CH APT ER VIII
A True Lover.
After a momentary sensation of
faintness , that follows close on
Lsthera- disappearance , Penruddock
rallies , and tells himself that her
presence in this particular house is
but one. of the coincidences that ivill
occasionally occur in all our lives'
and that her wild allusion to objectionable -
tionable dates has only arisen from
the morbid qualities that go so far
to make , up her character. By the .
time his son has arrived , and is
ushered into his private sitting-
room , he is himself again , composed ,
calm , and cold , and freer from foolish -
ish sentiment than he was an hour
ago , reaction having set in. He
opens his subject , which has to do
entirely with Dick's misplaced affection -
tion for Miss Neville , . 'so-called , "
without any appearance of excitement -
ment or undue warmth , merely expressing -
pressing in every possible way his
disapprobation of the young lady to
whom his son is so devoted. When
ho has finished , Dick for several
moments remains quite silent.
When rejected by Maud on the
night of th3 dance , he had given
wayto .despair , but so many little
things have occurred since then to
encourage new hopes , that he has ,
on reflection , declined to be altogether -
gether disheartened. Her tore is
not as yet given to another , and
therefore she may be his in the
happy undefined future.
: 'I regret that I must go against
you in this matter , " he says at
length , quietly but decidedly. He
is standing on the hearth-rug , his
arms folded , and looking frowningly
upon the carpet.
His father , standing opposite to
him , with clouded brow , is regarding -
ing him anxiously.
"You speak like a ehild who is
asked to relinquish a favored but
dangerous toy , " he says contemptuously -
ously , "You ; with your fortune and
position , to marry a girl penniless ,
nameless-nay , if reports speak correctly -
rectly , even worse than "
"That will do , " says the young
man , with a sudden gesture suggestive -
tive of passion. "Say nothing more ,
if you please. It is of no consequence -
quence whatever to me that she is
poor and nameless , as were
sho' possessed of all the
wealth in Christendom , and owner !
of the highest b titl e in the land , I
could not' possibly love her more
than I do now. "
"Sentiment in the young is a3mir-
able , " says Penruddock , in a sneering -
ing tone. "It betrays amiability arid !
good feeling. But even virtues may
be carried to excess. Do you-par-
don me-but do you mean to marry
this young woman ? "
It would be difficult to say why ,
but who ever knew a man that
wasn't annoyed when any one called
the girl he loved a "young woman ? "
"What else should I mean. " he
asks , with wretchedly-concealed ire ,
"if she ivill have me ? "
"Oh ! you need not entertain any
anxiety on that point. They always
have one , " says Penruddock , con-
temptuously. "It is generally a
complete 'take in' from start to I
finish. " Then , changing his tone
from one of unpleasant banter tel
that of authority , "Now , look here , "
he says ; "let us have no more of
this. You can't marry her. "
Perhaps as he speaks he forgets
how the son inherits his own blood
aiid temper to some dogeee.
' I shall be quite charmed if nothing -
ing more 'is said about it , " says Dick ,
brushing carelessly some spots of ,
dust from "s coat , 'but I shall cer
talnlY marry Miss Neville if I can in-
duce'her to accept me. "
There. is , something in the quiet
determination of his tone that impresses -
presses George Penruddock. Going
over' to his sou , he lays his hand
upon his shoulder , and says more
gently-nay , even with entreaty-
I 'Thihk well of what you are going
to do. : : This marriage will mean to
you ruln.misery , unavailing regret. "
! "It means - my o ne chance of hap-
pines , " says' Dick ; with' a deep sigh ,
.
throwing , up his head ; .and looking
forward as' -in the
eagerly ; thotighin ;
'distance he could see om e sight that
to him was full of sweetness and
light.
"Can nothing move you ? " asks
Penruddock , 'unsteadily. "Not all
the years gone by , in which I have
lived , and thought , and speculated
for you alone ? Is this , after all that
I have done , to be my sole return ? "
"Dear father , " says Dick , turning
to him with quick and eager affection -
tion , "why try to make me miserable -
ble ? I remember all-every kind
word and kinder action ; and I would
implore you in this , the most impor-
taut act. of my life , to give me your
sympathy. When you know Maud
you will better understand me , because -
cause you too will love her. Tomorrow -
morrow I shall ask her. again to be
my wife , and if she consents , which"
( and he lookdd and spoke very mournfully -
fully ) " 1 strongly doubt , you will
gain a daughter asloving as your
son. "
"Nay , " says . Penruddock , angrily -
grily turning aside ; "I want
no daughter picked from the
mire Go , sir ! " pointing to the
door. "I shall not again sue to you
for either your love or obedience.
Yet stay , and hear my last words , as
you intend to , a , o to-morrow to ask
that girl again to marry you. I warn
you I shall be there too , to explain
to her the terrible injustice she will
do you shoula she consent to your
proposal"
"And I warn you , " says Dick ,
calmly , but in a very curious tone ,
"that it will be extremely unwise of
you , or anyone , to say anything
likely to wound or ollend Miss
Neville , even in the very slightest
decree. "
As the door closes upon his son ,
George Penruddock sinks heavily
into the nearest chair , covers his
face with his hands , and is overcome
with emotion.
"And for this I have suffered , and
endured , and sinned ! " ho says , with
a convulsive shudder. "Oh , that it
were possible to undo my wretched
past ! But that can never be , alas'
that can never be. "
When Dick leaves his father's
presence , it is but to hasten to his
room , and send a hasty bat tender
note to Miss Neville , telling her of
his intention to call next day , and
again entreat her to look favorably
upon his suit. Then he puts in a few
lines about his father , very delicately -
ly written. saying that he also intends -
tends putting in an appearance at
South Audley street on the morrow ;
and while assuring her of his own
lasting affection for her , .implores
her-as she feels even a poor sent-
ment of friendship for him-to payne
no heed to any disparaging remarks
that ignorance of her sweet excel.
lence gray induce anyone to make.
After this follow a few more little
sentences , put in rather incoherently -
ly , but , in all probability , the dearer
because of their want of precision to
the reader of them , and then he is
hers "most faithfully , and with the
entire love of his heart , Dick Pen-
ruddock. "
It is a thorough love-letter ; one
that might have been written a
century ago , when love was a thing
more sacred and more full of
courtesy than it is to-day. Maud ,
sitting in her own room , weeps
bitter tears over it , and kisses it
foolishly but very fonaly , and tells
herself again and again that fate has
dealt unjustly with her in that it
compels her to resign the writer of
this gentle billet doux , and putting
him entirely out of her life , leaves
him free to be gained and loved by
some more fortunate woman. And
that she must so leave him is , per-
haps. the deepest sting of all.
Esther , the nurse , coming in , finds
her prone upon a sofa , crying quietly -
ly , yet bitterly , and , full of sympathy ,
and a little frightened , comes over
to her , and smoothes back tenderly
the soft hair from her forehead. To
this fond and faithful woman , the
girl will always be her child , her
nursling.

Officers of the steamer Essex report -
port a school of flying fish in the
Rappahannock river , Virginia. Flying -
ing fish swim in shoals varying in
number from a dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the
water at once , darting through the
airr in the same direction for 200
yards or more , and then descend to
the water quickly , rising again , and
then renewing their flight. Sometimes -
times the dolphin may be seen in
rapid pursuit , taking great leaps
out of the water , and gaining upon
its prey , which take shorter and
shorterr flights , vainly trying to escape -

Sometimes the larger sea birds catch
flying fish in the air. The question
whether the flying fish use their fins
at all as wings is not fully decided.
The power of fligbt is limited to the
time the fins remain moist. '

Less than a month ago the barley
growers of the United States and those
who trade in barley received news
from London that two cargoes of Russian -
sian barley had been sold at Odessa for
shipment to New York. This , of
course , is the direct result of the first
step toward free trade and democratic
legislation for the benefit of foreign
farmers.
Under the tariff act of 1883 the
duty upon foreign barley imported into
this country was 21.5E per cent advalo
rem. This being insufficient to afford
proper protection to the American farm-

or the duty was increased to 64.08 per
.cent under the McKinley tariff. how
this increase benefited our farmers by
lessening our imports of barley is
shown in the following official figures :

It can here beseen that under the more
proper protection afforded the American -
can farmer by the McKinley tariff , our
imports of barley have fallen off from
over eleven million bushels in ISS9 and
again in 1590 to less than two million
bushels in 1393. Where we paid an
average of $ G,750..000 a year from 158.1
to 1890 to foreign farmers for foreign
barley , we have paid less than $ -,000-
000 u. year since the time of McKinley
protection and less than $1,000,000 last
year.
Comparing our imports of foreign
barley for 1893 with those of 1888 , the
saving to American farmers was more
that $7,000,000 in this one year alone.
It is evident that protection on barley -
ley was a good thing for American
farmers. The free trade party thought
it was too good a thing and feared
lest our farmers might get too rich , as
rich as the sugar trust , perhaps. It
was therefore the policy of the democratic -
cratic congress to grind the farmer
down and keep him poor , so the duty
on barley was reduced from
the McKinley rate of G4.GS
per cent down to 30 per cent ad val-
orem by the Gorman bill. Tliis is a
reduction of 53.62 per cent , and it
would have been more if the Wilson
bill had become law , because the 11 il-

son bill proposed a dutyof only 25 per
cent ad valorem.
Since we are to have imports of Russian -
sian barley into the United States it is
well for farmers. to learn a few facts
concerning this new competition that
they must meet. The total average
barley crop of Russia amounts to 135-
000,000' bushels , as compared with an
average crop of 60,000,000 bushels in
the united States. During a period of
fire years , 18SO-ISOD , Russia exported
30,000,000 bushels of barley to other
countries , this being 15 per cent of all
of .lussia's esportsof eereals.
Tbe.oi'y..recent official report upon
Russian crops has the following infor-
; nation that is of extreme interest to
.American farmers :
' ' .etwithstandingthe comparatively
smallyiedperacreand the great variations -
tions in the harvests from year to year ,
Russia , in the export of all breadstuffs ,
has gained ' the { oremost position
among countries placing their grain
supplies upon the world's umarket ,
yielding to the United States only m
respect o to the export of wheat and
maize. "
As Russia "has gained the foremost
position among countries placing their
grain supplies upon the world's market -
ket , " and particularly so of barley , it
is evident that the value of Russian
barley does much to regulate the price
of barley in the world's markets that are
not protected ; hence it is interesting to
study the value of Russian barley.
During a period of seven years , ISS1-
1S87 , the average export value of Russian -
sian barley was 35 cents per bushel at
port of shipment. The Gorman tariff
rate of 30 per cent ad valorem
will add 10 cents per bushel to
this price , making 45 ; < , cents , to
which must also be added 4 cents
per bushel for freight and insurance -
ance , making the total cost of Russian
barley , laid down in New York , to be
4933 or 50 cents pr bushel.
It may be considered that the future
value of barley in the New York
market will b'2 about 50 cents per
bushel , as compared with an average
price of 00 to 70 cents per bushel during -
ing 1891-1693 , when Mc1inley protection -
tion was in uninterrupted operation.
The American farmer must prepare
himself for this nen value of barley
in New York , deducting freight from
the farm and comnmis ions , so as to
arrive at the new farm price. The
American farmer will appreciate the
loss as his contribution to a valuable
"object lesson" in free trade. IIe will
also remember that this is but the first
step toward free trade , and that the
democratic leaders have promised to
make the tariff rates still lower , and
consequently to still further cheapen
the farm value of : American barley.
Cotton Sceds Protection.
In the fiscal year of 1893 our export ! .
of raw cotton lr crc 4,401,524 bales , or
2,204,131,711 pounds , of the value of
$187,012,689 , or 8,484 cents per pound.
In the same year the imports for consumption -
sumption were of raw cotton 433,330,280
pounds of the custom house value of
$4GSG,439 , manufactured cotton goods
of the custom house value of $19,031-
638 , of flax and its manufactures , $30- "
679,240. All these foreign products
should have been excluded by a tariff
sufficiently protective for the purpose ;
all the needed cotton and flax and
manufactures of both should have ben
produced in our own country.
Of Course it will.
The woolen.the textilethe Sheffield.
the Birmingham , and some other of
our representative industries are anticipating -
pating increased American orders , and
time return of prosperity to these trades
will show itself in greater activity
among the iron and steel trades. Welsh
