It All through that baldheaded old reprobate, Biglow," he muttered, bending over his handle bar and pedaling as if Ms life depended upon it. "The other di rector! all give way to his eccentric whim.

Oh, pleaso be careful1." ," He looked up in time to realize but not to avert the crash that followed. The girl bad tried to turn her machine, but only : ucoeeded in giving a broadsido to tho ' .charge, and Mackinnon bicycle dashed straight against her front wheel. Then in some marvelous fashion he felt ' ilnweLf fly over his handle bar and land all fours on the grassy bunk of the roadside. Glad to find that his neck was not broken, he leaped to his feet and turned to tha girl, who was endeavoring to disengage aerself from beneath her broken bicycle. "Are you hurt?" he asked, helping her to rise. " ' "No, w she answered shortly, "but my bicycle Is ruined, and I do not think I owe "it to you that I live at alL You were en tirely to "blame. You came flying around the bend at a frightful speed, on the wrong aide of the road, and without ringing your bell. And you paid not the least atten tion to my repeated ringing." la quite true," he answered, "and if you will let me know at what figure you tsaeesthe damage I shall save yon the trouble of taking the matter into court. Zieantima let me take you to the Inn, ', which is quite close, and I shall call for a cab to take you to . the station. 1 6hall - aend both bicycles on to London for re pairs, and if you will let me have your ad dress X shall return your bicycle in a day or two." . , "i - "My address is 'Miss Biglow, the Three Sims, St. John's Wood." MaekinnoB started. -'Biglow?' he exclaimed. VThe Three Elms? Then you must be a rela tive of Mr. Gerald Biglow, one of Our di Teotors ' . - -He is my father," said the girt: "Do you kaow him? - - I ought to know him, " said Mackinnon With a reproachful look as they reached the inn, "seeing tbat indirectly he was the cause of this accident. I em the Lon don representative of his company, and this morning I received word from him that I muss marry in three months or lose - my post. It was this thought that made sac so absentmlnded just now that I did not bear your bell. I was wondering where I should find a wife) "Then you must be Mr. Mackinnon of " Wham father so often speaks." Uackinnon bowed. 'T am so glad,' ' said Miss Biglow. "My father speaks very highly of you, and only this morning be as saying he would ask you op ' to dine. I hope, therefore, you will eone all the way back with me and stay for.tea." , , The young man hesitated at the thought of meeting the eccentrio old man after smashing his daughter's bicycle, but as he looked into that sweet face before him he ' felt that be Would risk a good deal for an afternoon with Miss Biglow. VTben they were in the train together, Hiss Biglow said with a roguish smile, MWe can talk over the damages over a cup of tea, and father Will be arbitrator." ' Mackinnon spent a very pleasant even ing at the Three Elms, and the old gcntlo- saaa was good enough to say he would leave the question of damages entirely in bis daughter's hands. Miss Biglow said She would have to have time to think about the matter. Next evening the young man felt he most call again to ttil bow the bicycle was Setting on. This time he had an oppor tunity of saying a few words of business to his director. "Mr. Biglow," be said, "will you not reoonsider that order of yours? I have not the least 'prospect of marrying in three months." "You must do it, Mackinnon," answer ed the old man. "Look about you. The order must stand." . . , .On the -third evening Mackinnon rode round on his repaired bicycle to inquire if Miss Biglow s machine had been returned all right.' On this occasion he ventured to V offer to escort Miss Biglow while she tried the restored wheel. It worked beautifully, and they went for quite a long epin. Two weeks passed, and Miss Biglow Del Mackinnon were spinning together down the Bath road. They had reached the exact spot where the accident which resulted in their acquaintance witn one another bad taken place. " Viet us dismount -for a little, " said Mackinnon, ' sultlDg the action to the word. : Miss Biglow followed suit. "Do you remember." said Mackinnon, coming close to hfcr, "what it was that was bothering me so much that I could aot hear your bell?" I think,", answered Miss Biglow, blushing a little, "you said it was the Question of how you were to get married in three months." "Tes- I was utterly aDsorDea oy one question," 'Where should I find a wife? Miss Biglow G extra do don't you think that collision of ours was an answer? thought three months a very short time ta which" to learn to lovo any one.Ttat I learned to love you in one day - and have loved you for exactly two weeks, mil you marry me, Gertrude?' .. Two weeks"- she begun. "I know what you are going to say dearest," interrupted Mackinnon. "I have only known you for two weeks and all that, but you must remember your fa ther has allowed me only three months in Which to be married. , Tell me, darling, only that you care for me." "Yea, I do, but" 'Do you think your father will be an- cckr be asked at last. 2 know he will not, Tom," she an- rwcrcd. panting for very happiness. "He was ehafSng me last night about you and raid be could not wish me a better bus band. He also said that if I married you La would see that another hundred or two waa added to your salary." . Ev Jove, darling," cried the happy XIackianon; tbat accident was the best nn of fortune's wheel I have ever known." "But, I say, Tom,' I- had ' forgotten I rSn be Cone out of my carnages.

Nature, following the rippling rivet down to the sea, stopped there awhile to romp and left great hills and hollows in her trail. Civilization came along later, leveled the hills off to 3Q11 up the valleys and builded a city, but when civilization got through there was one hill, a portion of which she did not need, and that bill was Pat's peak. f . High up On the dizzy edge of Pat's peak stood Pat's shack, a crazy structure of weather beaten and weather eaten lum ber, whose crumbling foundations threat ened with every rainstorm to come tum bling down the rugged strata stained sides of the hill and land in the gravel heap be low. Here a prop and there a stay, put there from time to time, saved Its sinking roof and tottering walls from collapsing, and it stood there from year to year an ob joet of wonder to strangers and a part of the daily dull passing to work picture to - others. '-.-. ., As the house so the man. He was there when civilization came and had built his cabin in defiance of nature. Later, when civilization dug away the base of his hill, he defied civilization and hurled rocks down upon its head until it ceased, not because be annoyed it, but because it hap pened to be through. : Civilization is in exorable. i The bouse stood boldly upon Its emi nence entirely aloof from all its neighbors and slowly decayed in despised solitude. go did the man. As the years rolled by ho became more and raoro sullen and mo rose and, first shunning the society of his kind, ended in being shunned, so that he could not count in all the world one who called him friend, but he did not core. An overture in that direction would have xoet with curses, for he was a violent man and bitter, and bitterness shuns qualifica tion. There were stories floating about him, but these were only stories. There was mention of a woman, too, away back in the days when nature yet sang in the spot where civilization now clangs at its iron rivets, but no one knew. If one, affected by these tales, felt any touch of sympathy or commiseration for the recluse, it was only necessary to meet him face to face, to note the heary jaw and the savage frown, the inflamed nose and cheeks and blood shot eyes to turn away in terror. He was a strong man whoso strength was turned to gloomy ends, and he was better left alone. Now and then some philan thropio fool came by and warned him against the danger that lay In bis eerie perca against the sky, and re ceived a torrent of vituperation for his pains, so fierce and so vicious that he watched the human porcupine clamber round the disintegrating hill toward his hermit home with the shock ox one who had tread on the tall of a devil unawares. There came a day when the expected happened when with a roar and a cloud of stifling dust the hillside toppled over and buried the crushed shanty under tons of loose gravel and reck a hundred feet below. Then there came a mighty change of sentiment in regard to the man of sullen habit. Pat's peak had fallen 1 Was he there 1 Yesl Nol Yesl , Yes, he had been seen to enter the house a half hour before the accident. Horrors 1 " He was buried beneath that mass of earth, crushed doubt less out of all semblance of humanity. It was awful! Men who. an hour before would have shunned him as they would a loathsome leper now gathered around and with feverish anxiety discussed the chances of still finding a spark of life In his crushed and mangled body. That was the keynote of It. Life 1 There was perhaps a human life In there. Under the threatening frown of the sheer wall that still towered above them a throng of eager men attacked the heap of earth and worked like demons. Ther'o was a cry from one of the workers. No ! It was only a bundle of discarded clothing. Then another shout; this time It was a dog that lay, still warm, but crushed hor ribly by the avalanche of stone and earth. It was easy to know the fate of the man. Listen 1 . What was that? It was a groan I This way 1 This way I There It was again! He waa alive yet! Who-e-el Dig with a will, my men. There is a life there yet to be Baved ! Here is tlte spot. Here where the peak of this gable already, appears above the gravel! This way with your shovels, boysl This precious human life, this mysterious thing of which we stand so much in awo, Is not yet past recall ! Hurrah! They have found him, miracu lously sheltered by an angle of tho roof, stunned and bruised, but still alive, thank God! Reserved men, men' who never seemed to have possessed emotions above the daily grind of business and the cold calculation of money getting, jumped up and down and swung their hats and shout ed to relieve their overcharged feelings. Vho-e-e-e! - Here was a human life, a di vine spark akin to our own, snatched from our common enemy, death ! But was he saved? ; Tbey hung on the verdict of the doctor, who was summoned with as breathless anxiety as . if he had been of their own flesh and bloodU, Yes, he was all right. He was only stunned. Ho would be revived In a moment more. Hur rah again!, ilea chuckled hysterically, al though some at this point suddenly re mem be red business engagements and lost interest in the case. . . , -And the man? He returned to conscious ness with a deep groan that had in it tho note of the pain of life, that note that eomes but twice in life from the lips of the newborn babo and the mouth of the stricken man. He scrambled to -his feet and stood dared for a moment among his eager friends until the extent of his catas tropbe came upon him. Thin he turned to the gaunt hill that stood with a new so lemnity and majesty against the sunset sky and cursed nature as was his wont. Then he turned to the men around him and cursed civilization, and civilization, Buddenly brought to a realization of itself, turned away with all its aforetime loath ing. For this was no longer the precious human life wavering between time and the dread unknown. It was simply the man, and there was a vast difference.

Editor Independent: ' v ; Being that I have made the subject of political economy a special ; study. I wish to -criticise an article which ap- peared in the "World-Herald , of Jan. 9, under the signature of W. IL Ashby. Mr. Ashby paakes a statement whicfi Is as follows: r.- ;!-:t- n':. tiv i " "Among' those -powers was ; the power to fix the standard of value of weights and measures." f : 1 I would like to ask Mr. Ashby, where he gets the authority to use the phrase "fix . the standard, of valued It is almost improper to use the phrase Standard or value. The constitution says nothing of a standard of value. If we permit that the phrase "stand ard is a unit of value. If wc have a phrase, we cannot say that that tand arl Is a unit of value. If we have a standard of value It is not the unit of value or the thing that a unit of value is made of, but the "standard' would be the number of units of value then in circulation. Gold is our standard of value, when we have it at borne. But since it -goes abroad and we have to issue bonds to bring it back occasion ally, I guess we bavn't got a standard. Now . of course these 00,000 mullet heads in Nebraska rwho have been vot ing for a gold standard, must expect that Mr. McKinley will have to Issue bonds to keep our standard at borne. The constitution does not empower congress to fix the standard ? of value." -" v.,,-.. .;. ' . Mr. Ashby In his argument makes still another statement. He says; "The 'value' or 'price' f the coin stamped upon it regulates its yalue. Uomrress has this power botn to tout and to regulate the value' of the coin made by congress, and also of 'for e!gn coin." , s V I should judge from the amount of quotation marks that .Mr. Ashby uses, he believes that value is regulated by quantity! But he begins in the above by using the phrase "value or price." What are we going to do! There are three, things in this money question. Value," "price," and "utility." . If we use the word value as it is used la Job, we cannot ay that value wouhi be price. It is even a question as to what "price" is. Is it the amount than a thing will sell for; the amount that I me owner asks ror a thing; or the amount that a purchaser says a thing is worth? The price of a thing is gen erally made by the owner of that par ticular thing. If a man lias goods to sell, and under necessity must selL the purchaser sets the price; but if a man has goods to sell and a purchaser must luj then the owner sets the price ot the goods. If I were discussing the money question, I would say, the price of a thing 3s what Jfhe owner of that certain thing nsks for it: the value, what it sells for. .Value and price would not be, one and the same thing. If I buy a .bushel of wheat for my own flour, I buy of the man who will sell the cheapest. If I buy wheat to ship to a foreign market, t set the price myself. In the first instance the man who sells me wheat for flour, es timates the price of the wheat; In uie other, I estimate Hhe price. We al ways estimate valne. If we buy a thing, we first estimate its value; then we fix its price. The price Indi cates its value, but We may lix a: price above the value of the thing. The price of a thing is tae amount asked for that thing. The value of a. thing, is the amount received for the thing when sold. Value as defined by the dictionary, may . be utility. If we uo not use the -word "utility, we must divide the word "value." Then it would be "Intrinsic value," and "com mercial value." But those terms are not permissible. Commercial vale, is a value measured by exchange. ' In trinsic value, is utility. Utility is we usefulness to which. we can dispose a thing. In this same connection, Mr. Ashby uses this term, "regulate the value." When the constitution empowers congress to regulate the value, I lo not understand that that body is to show a preference to one metal above the other. But if, from any cause the bullion in the gold dollar is worth more than the bullion in the silver dollar, congress has a right, to make a regulation, so that there will be a parity between tbe two. And likewise with the sliver dollar. ' ; Mr." Ashby, in his article to the Herald makes another statement, he says:' "The exercise of the taxing power is the sole necessity which gave use to money." - In the above statement, x I believe Mr. Ashby falls into the same weak ness that the republican party falls into. There are too many of us who Jelieve that the only function that money has is to pay debs. It is true .that "paying debts' is the primary use of money; but Is that the only use it lias? If I have a debt of $25 dollars to pay and have the $25 it makes no dif ference if there is not another dollar In the world, so far as my debt is xmccrned. I have the $25 and can pay it any time. But if some other fellow has the $25, how am I going to pay tbe debt? That is just the trouble at the present time in the United States We have debts to pay and every man wants money with which to, pay bis debts. Then every man who wants money is willing to give something lln exchange for that money. He offers corn in exchange, or wheat, or cattle, or bogs, or any thing else that be has, for money. What does it mean? it signifies that- there is a scarcity, ot money, and money rises in value, com pared with commodities. Under such a circumstance! products would fall in value (not In utility) and money would rise In valne. What is the remedy y More money! ," Then It . would be re versed. Products would be high In value and money would fall In value, That means, debts would be paid. Money at the present time Is a debt maker. ; " ' ' Another quotation from Mr. Ashby: "And when congress exercises tbe power to coin money. It will make use of the standara unit. , - What does the writer mean by "standard unit?" That is a new thing to me. A unit of value is not a "standard.". : The whole number of units In circulation is the "standard and as long as every thing ts bought with gold, gold will be the standard. I have said before in this article that we cannot keep our standard at home 7S We will pay the above inward for any case of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion, Constipation or Gostiveness we can not cure with Liverita, the Up-To-Date Little Liver Pill7 when the directions are strictly com plied with They are purely Vegetable, and never fail to give satisf action 25c boxes contain J 00 Pills 10c boxes contain 40 Pills, 5c boxes contain J 5 Pills Beware of substitutions and imitations.

Yankees in the Tropics About five hundred miles from Para, at the junction of the Tapajos Hiver With the Amazon, a town Was reached which proved extremely Interesting to the gunboat's crew. Its name, San tarem, gave no evidence of the fact that it was originally . colonized by Americans. That was in 1866, and the passing of thirty-three years has re moved all traces of the Yankee set tlers. It did not require this result of an attempt at Anglo-Saxon coloniza tion to prove to the 'Wilmington's peo ple that the tropics form no favorable home for their race.
