- Abandoned the l?oal.
San Francisco, March 3. The Salt
Lake City railroad project has been
abandoned. A company was organized
-nine months ago to build a competing
road. San Franc sco capital was inter
ested in the scheme, which was to build
from San Francisco to Nevada to con
nect with a line to be built by Salt
Lake City, thus connecting with the
trans-contineutal roads. The reason
for abandoning the project is the oppo
sition of the merchants' traffic associa
tion to the passage of a bill in the leg
islature allowiug t lu consolidation ol
, the California roi l with a roadinan
other state, the claim being made that
such a law would allow the Southern
Pacific, which it was lighting, to con
solidate its local lines with those it had
in Arizona and elsewhere, thus taking
ita local lines out of state control.

CHAFTEK XV.
UNDKB SURVEILLANCE.
Ashes! Tha rattling incinerated piece
of paper fell to dust in Arnold Dacre's
hand. Like the Dead Sea fruit of guilt,
fair to the tight, but at the core holding
but bitter dust and blight, the reward of
all his scheming was empty bands and a
frantic, rebellious heart
Not a line, not a trace remained of the
document that held TomCupples' secret,
to reveal the bidinc-place of the cov
eted package. With a great hoarse
cry of rage and dismay, the
plotter ran to the couch where lay the
paralytic The flickering rars ot the
dyinx conflagration In the grate illumined
his swarthy face, showing his bloodshot
eves, bis twitching muscles. It seemed
as if be would drag man from the couch,
and tear the secret that was dying with
him from his dying lips.
Cupples breathed. There was life,
then. Whv might he not be revived to
tell what the paper contained. A doc
tora doctor, by all means!
Arnold Dacre sped from the room and
the house. When he returned five min
utes later, a professional-looking man
bearing a medicine case, accompanied
him.
A light was procured. Gravely the
man of science inspected the inert mass
of humanity before him. His heart flut
tering with alternate hope and despair,
Arnold Dacre watched him feverishly.
"Well?" be demanded in a dry, cracked
tone as the physician, with a dubious
sigh, turned from the couch.
"Doubtful."
"You mean?''
"The man is In very bad shape."
'But he will live?"
"Possibly a day, more likely less than
an hour. I can do absolutely nothing
for him but watch him. There may be
a favorable turn in the morning"
"Then watch bim, doctor, secure a
nurse, spare no expense to revive bim,"
urged Dacre eagerly. "One question."
"What is It?"
"If he revives, will he speak?"
"1 fear not. If this man lives, be will
be a helpless paralytic"
Arnold Dacre remained in the former
quarters of John Wharton until nearly
midnight He rented the apartment,
paid the landlady to act as constant
nurse to the sufferer, and actually
brought tears to the eyes of that good
lady at this noble exhibition of his
generosity and humanity.
"If he revives," Dacre told ber. "If
he should talk or try to write or make
signs, tell bim that I left word for him
to impart his confidence to you, and be
rsreful to note what he may have to
communicate."
Then Arnold Dacre sought a fitful
spell or rest, broken by fearful dreams,
and early dawn found him haggard but
resolute, and starting out upon a new
trail, having for its motive the present
object of all his schemes the coveted
missing package.
It had eluded his possession, nearly
in his grasp. It looked as if be was
never to cast longing eves upon
it again, and yet be reflected
hopefully as he walked to a farmer's
tavern at the edge of the town, whence
an old ricketty stage ran into the coun
try as far as Deepford. ,r -
It was coach, express, and mall cart
combined, and it would take him to his
proposed destination by noon.
Deepford." That was the town men
tioned by Tom Cupples. "In a cave."
That was not a very specific clue, but it
was the only one he was warranted in
following out
"Somewhere near there he hid the
package, " soliloquized 1 ie anxious
schemer, "his incoherent babblings be
trayed that much. Somri where near
there, too, overtaken by weakness, tear
ing to forget, to be struck helpless, he
got a man to write out explicitly the de
tails of the hiding-place of the package.
Who was this man? A charcoal burner.
There are not many in the district If I
can locate the one he saw, he will cer
tainly remember writing the scrawl for
Cupples. Ignorant, careless, never at
taching any undue Importance to the di
rections, perhaps purposely obscured by
Cupples, be will remember and repro
duce them for me. Then the hiding
place the package. Oh! I feel certain
I shall find it"
The ricketty old coach had several
passengers. Arnold Dacre scarcely no
ticed them, until he chanced to casually
regard the one who sat on the seat with
the driver. Then he started violently,
suspiciously.
"Hello!" ho mnttered. with a frown of
concern, "I've seen that face before.
Where?"'
He ransacked his memory dilligently.
Tawny face home spun fattlre blue
spectacles.
"Ah! the man who inquired for lodg
ings at the Wharton room last night!"
ejaculated Dacre. "Was It he, too, who
was prying at the transom, or was It
accidentally opened when the paper blew
into the grata Am I being watched? Is
this man a spy, a detective? Hardly.
Psbawl I am getting nervous. I cannot
afford to worry over unimportant trifles,
when the great central motive of my
fate lies In a quivering balance."
tie dismissed the stranger from his
mind as far as be could. In the bustlo
of arrival at the obscure .settlement at
Deepford he missed bim, and Dacre be
came engrossed In the details of the
quest that bad brought him hither.
He made f rlenr s with the keeper of
the one tavern the place: afforded at
once. A few liberal treat won the good
opinion of the boo i face. Then Dacre
projected bis query. . -
"I am looking for a charcoal burner
living near here," be said. "Do you
know any inch"
"I do, for a fact There's only one.
It alnt a paying business, but old Sam
Binder ekes oat a living st If
"Binder? murmured Dacre, memor
fclng the name.
"Yes, you'll find him on the creek near
the cedsr growths. Be has a little cabin
yon can't miss." -.
Arnold Dacre was 00 the track of that
cabin within the aest hour. Affairs
were progrsasisg wail sa far. Be began
to feel quite toaefuL but that emotion

for some time with its sole occupant a
woman, be retraced bis steps towards
Deepford.
The woman was the wife of the char
coal burner. Binder. Yes, Sam was the
onlv man in that section. Had she
noticed a stranger about theredurina the
past few days, and Arnold Dacre de
scribed the paralytic
Why, yes! Sam had brought such a
person to the cottage. Me was ill, weak,
worn out She remembered bim dis
tinctly, for that was only two days
agone, but when Dacre cautiously refer
red to some writing Binder had done for
him, the woman shook her bead du
biously, and remarked that she knew
nothing of that. She believed Sam had
done some scribbling work for tbe
stranger, but he "was a close-moulhed
'on, and never told his secrets."
As to Binder, he bad gone to see some
relatives beyond Deepford. He did this
once a month.and made a sort oF holiday
of it Dacre would surely find him at the
Deepford tavern, on bis way home,
about ten o'clock that evening.
Then the woman grew curious, and
ventured a shrewd query as to what
made bumble Sam Binder in such de
mand, as Dacre departed. Why! be was
the second one inquiring for Binder that
day. Another man had teen there only
an hour previous, had asked tho same
questions, and been awarded the same
information.
'Another man," faltered Dacre, turn
ing sharply.
"Yes." . i
"He did not ask about the writing
about the stranger?" queried the cashier
sharply.
"Yes he did."
Arnold Dacro's eyes took a quick
alarm. What manner ot man was this
prying stranger, who seemed anticipat
ing him, beet on pursuing the very same
line of inquiry as himself?
Arnold Dacre's heart sunk to his boots,
as the ominous answer came
"A tawny-faced man clad in homespun,
and wearing enormous blue spcctaclos."
CHAI'TKIC XVI.
t'NMASKKD.
Mr. Arnold Dacre leit the cabin of the
charcoal burner with a decided flea in his
ear. It took very little reflection and in
quiry of his informant, to decide that
the man he had seen lurking near Whar
ton's room the night previous, was tbe
same man who had been a passenger on
tbe stage coacb, and that individual had
certainly materialized still later at the
lonely cottage.
What was his motive? there could
be but one, and that was plainly
manifested by his actions and in
quiries. In some mysterious way,
aware of tbe existence of tho miss
ing package, he was fast upon its trail.
He must have been i-pying at Wharton's
room the evening previous, he must have
overheard the revelation of the paralytic.
Either by following Dacre, or from his
own deductions, he had stumbled upon
the self-same plan of procedure. He
was certainly awaie of tbe secret tbe
charcoal burner could reveal. He had
anticipated Dacre. He knew as much
as he did. It was only a question now,
of who reached Binder first
Who was he? Vainly Dacre asked
himself this question, concernedly, too.
He had never seen him before the pre
vious evening, be was a stranger to
Ridgefield. Could he be a detective, or
was he some friend, crony of Wharton or
Cupples, who, securing an Inkling of
the precious prey at stake, was en
deavoring to obtain a portion of tbe
splendid booty so safely hidden away?
Dacre cudgeled his brain with these
and a score of other kindred queries.
He reached the vicinity of the tavern
just after dark, weary, anxious, irritated.
He glanced eagerly all about the loung
ing room, but the spectacled stranger
was not in sight. He did not even ap
pear at the supper table. Dacre ven
tured a casual inquiry of tbe landlord
concerning him. Tbe latter asserted
that he was in his room up-stairs.
Eight o'clock nine ten between
watching the clock, smoking cigars fu
riously and pacing up and down the
road, Arnold Dacre kept his spirits in a
pretty lively and restless condition.
Would Binder never come! He watched
the moonlit road with devouring eves.
About an hour before midnight, his
anxious vigil was rewarded. A jovial
pedestrian came swinging along the road.
He was singing cheerily. Arnold Dacre
halted him with a sharp challenge as he
approached.
"Your name Binder?"
"Right you are!' spoke the bluff musi
cian. "Don't know you, though."
"No, but I am a friend of a man you
befriended day before yesterday a par
alytic Do you remember htm?"
"Eh' Oh! that poor fellow," exclaimed
the charcoal burner sympathetically.
"Should say I did. He was in bed shaoe
I worried half to death after he'd left
for letting him go on alone, sick as he
was." . . -.-:..
"Well, as 1 said, he was my friend,"
reiterated Dacre glibly. -"Here, that's
for you!"
He bad thrust a little package Into the
charcoal burner's hand.
"Eh! what's this?'' demanded tha lat
ter In surprise.
"A few bank-notes to settle for your
trouble and kindness, and, oh! by tbe
way, be got you to write something out
for him."
"Yes, a sort ol direction to seme old
digging or mica cave he'd discovered, I
think."
"He lost the paper, he's very sick, and
wants you to make another copy of it"
Sam Binder started and scratched bis
head dubiously.
"Well, stranger, now you've got me."

"What! you can't remember It?" cried
Dacre with apprehension.

Tbe disopyery aroused every latent in

nature. This man ossessed. shared the
secret that Binder d just unfolded.

keep a watch on I spy. who, for tbe
fourth time bad crossed bis path. If he

A Marine Ohest,
Two
young bnglisbmen sailed to
gether on board a Cunard steamer from
Liverpool for New York a short time
ago. They had never met before, but
they happened to coma together in the
first evening on board, and, finding that
they had a great d al in common, soon
became something more than mere
acquaintances. It was a rough passage,
and they were seldom able to get on
deck, so they spe:it .most of their time
playing ecarte. It was between the
deals of one of their games, and the one
who was sitting on the bunk ( whom we
will call Mr, A.) was shuffling the cards,
when both became aware that a third
person was standing at the cabin door
looking at them.
"Good God, Jack !" exclaimed Mr. B.,
jumping up from tbe couch, "how on
earth did you get here?"
The figure at tlic door said nothing,
but quietly turned around and walked
away again. The boat was rolling
badly, and when B. had done tumbling
over the portmanteau and had made
his way to the door aome few seconds
had elapsed. A. was naturally some
what astonished at the mysterious in
terruption and the way his friend had
treated it, so he threw the cards on the
bed, and, hanging on to the door,
scrambled out after him. When he got
into the pasaage he saw B. standing
some ten yards off look :ng up and down
in a bewildered kind of way, and no
body else in sight.
"tyho was.it " asked A., as the other
came slowly back to him after ques
tioning the Steward. "I have not seen
him on board before."
"He was my brother, and he is not on
board," wa the startling answer. "I
left him in Liverpool, and I know he
can't have come away."
"Nonsense, -my dear fellow; it must
have been some one of the passengers.
I certainly don't believe it was your
brother He was as utterly unlike you
as one man can be unlike another. He
was tall and you are short, be was fair
and you are dark, he was stout and you
are slim, and vour faces are completely
different." "
"Yes, I know. I call him my
brother, but he is really my half
brother. His name is C, and we are
totally unlike each other. But that
man was my nait-Drotner, Jack (J., as
sure as I am standing here, or his
ghost,"
Well, there was no more ecarte that
afternoon ; none of the officers or pass
engers had seen anybody answering
to the description of the supposed C,
and he never appeared again until they
reached New York.
When they landed, B. found a cable
message telling him that bia half
brother was .dead.
A Patient Wife.
"I have heard," said the kind-hearted
Austin female philanthropist to the
woman who lived in a dilapidated
shanty in the suburbs, whose head was
tied up, end who had que arm in a
sling, 'I have heard that your husband
beats yea, end, I thought 1 would con
sult with yon to see if we could net re
strain him."
"You are mistaken, madam; my hus
band never beats me. We have lived
together fifteen Tears, and he has never
beet me yet," aad the woman adjusted
her arm in the sling.
"I am so glad to near that I am mis
taken," replied the female philanthro
pist. "No," continued the woman, sadly,
putting the bandage over her eye, "he
has never struck me a blow yet. He
has kicked me hi a dozen different
places forty different times, he has taken
me by my two ears aad bumped my
heed on the floor, or on tbe corner of
the mantelpiece, he bee poured hot
water down my back, pulled out my
hair by the handful, and he has stuck
pins in me a time or so; he feeds the
horse on my new spring bonnet, but he
has never beat me yet, aad, until he
does, I dont think I ought to complain."
