CIIAI'TISK I.
A lovely evening in early autumn,
under the thick trees which shade a
quiet street in the suburbs of one of
our Eastern cities, tw'o persons were
walking slowly, conversing in low
tones. An ill-matched couple" they were.
One a stihool girl of 10, with dimpled,
rosy cheeks, and clear, innocent brown
eyes; the other, a man who might have
been handsome but for the marks of
dissipation and that indiscribable mix
ture of boldness and knavery which
stamps on every feature of this class
of men the words "gambler" and
"rogue." There is a Ting of mocking
insincerity in the very tones of his
A'oice which contrast painfully with
the air of childihh tru&t and admiia
tion with which his companion regards
him.
"Xo, my angel, the time has not yet
come in which we are at liberty to de
clare our love openly. For myself, I
do not fear, but your stern father, tak
ing into consideration the way in which
we met, might separate us forever."
"Yes, indeed!" replied the angel,
with true school-girl slang, "he'd just
rave! he is down on handkerchief llir
tations; and theie is John Itiley; do
you know, Alphonse, I more than half
believe he suspects something?"
There was a stait of genuine emo
tion of some kind from the ardent lov
er, and the carefully modulated voice
muttered something which commenced
with D , but which was modified to
"darling.""
"Who is Johnltiley?"
"Only a cousin wlio lives with us,
and that day when I first met you he
saw me ilirting, and took me home and
scolded every step of the way like a
savage. Of course I promised never to
do so again; but he looks at me so
queer, and to-night when I told moth
er I was going over to Allie's to study,
he asked me if Allie and I did not doa
great deal of studying of evenings late
lv. I know I blushed furiously, lie is
always meddling. I Hate him."
Belle s heart smote her even as she
uttered these unkind words against the
good old bachelor cousin who had pet
ted and spoiled her all her life, and had
never scolded her but once. A fort
night previous to this evening he had
been horrified at seeing Jielle on her
way home from school in company
with two other romantic young ladies,
Ilirting her handkerchief at some llash-ily-dressed
young men on the street, in
a way that gave evidence of long expe
rience. To step out of the store, take
Belle's arm, and walk her home to the
unwelcome music of a severe scolding,
was the work of a moment. Since then
Cousin John had rested calmly, con
scious of having done his entire duty.
If he had only known 1 For since that
time Belle's companion of to-night had
thrown himself in her way so persist
ently, had protested such love and ad
miration, and excited her imagination
with such glowing pictures of wealth
and splendor that only waited her ac
ceptance, that theghTssilly little head
was completely turned. She was envi
ed and looked upon as a heroine by her
girl confidants at school, and they lent
willing aid to plan the meetings which
took place daily. Meanwhile, the two
were conversing softly in fact, the
whole conversation has been so exceed
ingly soft that I will spare the reader a
repetition of all except the closing sen
tences. He holds her dimpled hand
tenderly as she turns to leave Mm:
"To-morrow at four o'clock, then,
dearest, you will come?"
"Yes, Alphonse, but" an uneasy
look' clouded the fair face "are you
sure it is quite right?"
"Right, my love! What wxong can
there be in cheering the loneliness of
my invalided aunt by a visit from one
whom she has long wanted to know ?
You will see no one else, and I will
conduct you to your friends house be
fore your absence is noticed."
"Dear Alphonse!" sighed the senti
mental miss, "how hard it is that you
dare not speak to my father now!" "
"Cruel!" exclaimed the adorer, a
spasm passing over his face, which to
an experienced obsexver, closely resem
bles a suppressed grin. Perhaps the
thought flitted through his mind that it
might be decidedly harder for him if
he did, "But time, sweet one, will re
move all obstacles."!
Footsteps were heard opproacMng,
and they bade each other .good-night
hastily. The man paused to whisper:
"Bemember, to-morrow at 4."
Belle walked home lost in a delight-
OIIAFTEIt II.
How Belle got through her lessons
the next day is only known to herself
and the long-suffering a patient teach
er. For was she not soon to see the
magnificent mansion where she would
some time reign queen? "What were
Latin roots and French verbs to a
young lady of her grand expectations?
At last the clock chimed the hour Of 3,
and our young lady Was free to go to
the house of the friend with whom she
had obtained permission to pass the
evening. But instead of going there
as she left the school building she en
tered a street car going in the opposite
direction, toward the very heart of the
great city. The streets which they
presently enter are unfamiliar to Belle,
but what school-girl Of 10 is not equal
to such an occasion ? So she leaned
calmly back in the seat and watched
the changing panorama in the street.
It was a long ride, a vervlonir one. but
at length her eyes brightened, and she
sprang to her feet; a benevolent-looking
old gentloman stopped the car and
assisted her to alight. She thanked
him with a graceful little little bow
and smile, then walked slowly down a
side street, scanning every house close
ly. Though near the center of the city,
the street seemed quiet- and retired. It
was lined on both sides by granrkand
gloomy-looking brown stone fronts.
Before one of these Belle paused, then
with beating heart ascended the mar
ble steps and rang the bell 1: the door
was opened by a girl who looked at her
curiously as she timidly inquired if
Mrs. Hunt was within this was the
name of the aged aunt, for whom Al
phonse hud directed her to ask. The
girl hesitated a moment and then with
a peculiar; mile on her unpleasant
countenance, threw open the door of
a magnificent reception room and in
vited Belle to enter. She did so, and,
after seeing her seated, the girl left the.
room, closing the door after her. The
room was rather dark, but gradual ty,
as Belle's eyes became used to the dim
light, she was assured that Alphonse
had not exaggerated when he described
his magnificent surroundings. A car
pet thick and soft as moss covered the
noor; ncn curtains were uraped so as
to conceal the plate-glass windows, and
here and there, from out the darkness,
gleamed, beautiful statuarj-. She had
ample leisure to observe all this, then
as no one came, she began to grow in
dignant. "Why was not Alphonse
heie to receive her? Why did they
keep her waiting so long?" Suddenly
a voice so near that it made her start,
exclaimed:
"Hello, sis!"
She looked around with a startled
cry; she had thought herself alone;
but near by, paitly hidden by the window-draping,
sat a man, who was gaz
ing at her with an impudent stare. He
was adorned by a red necktie anda pro
fusion of llashy jewelry ; he sat astride
a chair with his amis folded over the
back, and a look in the bold, black eyes
which made Belle's cheeks blaze with
indignation. She did not deign .to re
ply. Her silence seemed to amuse him.
He caressed his mustache witli a smile
of intense enjovment, then inquired af
fably: "You came to call on me, I sup
pose?" This was probably an impudent ser
vant; would Alphonse never , come?
She replied, coldly:
"I wish to see Mr. Sartoris."
"Any relation to the Grant family?"
"I wish to see Mr. Alphome Sarto
ris!" "Ah!" what a gesture of mock sur
prise; "I thought you were inquiring
for Algernon!" He arose, and bring
ing his chair to her side, peered into
her face insultingly; "but as Algy is
not in at present, and the other gentle
man is entirely unknown to me won't
I?"
Belle sprang to her feet, the blood
surging over cheek and brow; a dim
forboding of, she knew not what, fill
ing her with one idea she must get
away from this house, out of the pres
ence of this terrible man; as shereach
ed the door, it was opened from with
out, but the glad exclamation, "Al
phonse!" was checked by the appear
ance of the woman who entered.
Bichly, but flasMly dressed, crime was
stamped on every feature of her re
pulsive, red face; its appearance was
not at all improved by a large scar
which ran zig-zag across the forehead.
She closed the door and kept her hand
upon the latch as she looked keenlv. at
the shrinking figure of the girl.
"Mistaken in the person, my dear,"
she said in a course voice. " "Walt,
what's the rumpus?"
"Walt" laughed brutally. But Belle,
her heart beating with terror, said
gently:
"Madame, I fear I am mistaken;
does not Mr. Alphonse Sartoris live
here?"
The woman and man exchanged sig
nificant glances, then they laughed.
"Another one of Larkey's fancy
names," said the woman. "All right,
my girl, j'ou'll star."
"Where am I? Who are you?'
gasped Belle.
"One question at a time, young, la
dy," answered "Walt." blandly. "I
have the honor to introduce you to
Madame Corallie Hunt, principal of
this unrivaled institution for girls.
Special attention paid to 'morals and
manners.' We are just out of circulars,
but perhaps you have heard of this ,
place before?"
Madame Corallie! heard of her!
she had, but as she 4iad heard of linage
inary horrors too terrible td be named,
something too dark and awful to ever
come in contact with her fresh young
life, like alflash of light a complete un

not even her parents dreaming of her
peril. Alone in this den of merciless
beasts! With a piercing scream she
sprang toward the door, but was push-

"3Tone of that, my girl; you're
bound to stay here, and might as well
nuijve me nest or it; you may give mo
some or that extra jewelry while we
are on this subject, too."
A faint hope sprang up in the poor
child's heart. She began tearing off
her small supply of jewelry with fevef

all," she cried eagerly, takinsr off the

pretty rings, earrings, and pin; even
the dainty little watch, the nrideof her
heart, was quickly placed in the avc-
ui.ui a ouisireicneu nana. "Jtou may
have them all, and my father will give
j immure; omyiecmegoi on, let me
go!"
The last words rose to a wail as the
woman turned deliberately to leave the
room. Commanding the man angrily
to "take care of her, and stop that in
fernal .noise," Madame. Carollie left the
room and locked the door after her. .
Belle turned to the -man who had
watched tho whole scene with calm en
joyment. "Oh, sir! please show me a wav out
of tin's dreadful place! have pity! for
my mother's sake," she implored with
a suffocating sob, "let me go."
"Take care," replied her jailer,
-wamingly, "no more of that noise, if
you know-when you're well off." '
Jielle sank into a chair, her sobs
gradually died away, and then she be
came silent.
"That's" right," said her tormentor
approvingly, lighting a cigar and lean
ing back comfortab.lv, "always make
the best of what you can't help; you'll
like us better after a while."
Belle shuddered, but made no reply5;
although silly and thoughtless she was
no fool, and she had set all her wits to
work to devise a plan by which to es
cape from this place before it was too
late. Shadirtjr her face from the iraze
of "Walt" she glanced keenly around
the room ; the one door was fastened ;
the only other communications, with
the outer world were three windows,
and they were closed by shutters and
heavy curtains through a chink in the
shutter of one7f them, where the cur
tains were parted slightly, she could
see the glimmer of a street lamp on the
opposite corner and under it the blue
gleam ot a policeman's uniform. But
he was so far away. The room w:ts
getting very dark; she looked at her
jailer desparingly; he w:is watching
the blue wraiths of smoke that curled
upward from his cigar; as Belle's eyes
eyes wandered around the room they
fell upon one of those large white sea
shells, so often used for ornaments, lay
ing on a silken mat near her chair.
With one bound she has snatched up
the shell and reached the window;
there is a crash of shattered glass, a
torrent of horrible oaths from the vil
lain who grips her arm cruelly and
tries to drag her away, but the "agon
ized cry rings loud and clear, and tho
bleeding hands cling tight:
11 Help! Jielj)! help!"
xnere is me quicK, snarp sound ot a
policeman's rattle; another and anoth
er and another answers, and the cruel
hand leaves her arm ; a passer-by looks
up at the pale face at the window: he
joins the policemen as they rush into
the house, and Belle throws herself
fainting into the arms of her horrified
cousin John. When she recovers she
finds herself surrounded by blue-coated
men and answers the stern, business
like questions of one of them trem
blingly, but ho learns enough.
"Larkey O'Connor, alias Alphonse
Sartoris," said he, "I know him ; this
trick of enticing young girls into these
places is getting common, and will be
so as long as girls are allowed to walk
the streets at all hours unprotected."
"Rather say," responded Cousin
John, indignantly, "as long as such
places as this are licensed and encour
aged to ruin these innocent ones, body
and soul; as long as our law-makers
deliberately make it unsafe for the
helpless ones to walk our streets un
protected. Tliis little one," gently ca
ressing the sobbing girl, "has escaped.
Think of the thousands of ill-fated ones
who do not."
And the policeman assented with r.
sigh. That evening, with the poor,
torn hands carefully bound up, Belle
sobbed out the whole story to her af
frighted parents. It was a bitter les
son, and whenever her schoolmates
spoke of flirtations of any knd, a vision
of the hard, wicked face of Mme. Cor
alli and "Walt" rose before her.

Says About
Fairmont Bulletin.
The following is a portion of a let
ter received by a Fairmont Republican
from tne Hon. L. A. Sheldon, now of
La Grange, Ohio. It conies from a gen
tleman who knows whereof he aninns;
"Gen. Garfield was my first choice
for president, and I should vx e voted
for him from the beginning if he had
been a candidate. I know him well.
He was Colonel and I w;is Lieut. Col
onel of the 42nd Ohio Infantry. Since
lsoi we have beeu.intimate friends.
Therefore, I can speak of him with
knowledge. We served also in the
House of Representatives together for
six years. Without going into details
the charges are false and absurd; he
never had a dollar of Credit Mobilier
stock or any profit arising from the
same whatever. That he discussed
the question wJitJiAmes and Train
with a view to an investment is true,
but did not take anv interest in the
same. If he had held stock he could
not have been criticized more than if
he had taken an interest in any other
legitimate enterprise. As to the De
Golyer matter he simplv as a lawyer
argued the validity of a'patent before
the commissioners of the District of
Columbia. It happened that DeGoher
was applying to have his patent adopt
ed in the pavement of the streets of
Washington and its validity was denied.
Garfield is anIionest man and I know
it, he is abTe, patriotic and experienced,
and ought to be elected."
It is estimated that one-fifth of the
earth's surface is covered with the
tracks of lightning-rod men and book
canvassers.
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
Boston, July 21. The Ad'ttrtUser
has the following editorial synopsis oC
the report of the committer of the-.
Maine legislature to investigate th&
democratic" attempt to steal the state"'
government: " '"

that the democratic members, of the

of the facts xevqaled,. and did not even
attempt to question them. It is. a doc

It is especially valuable on account of
several sheets which are-jn tho similo
of the returns, doctored hy erasures;
and forgeries wliile in the hands of
Gov. Gareelon and his counsel ' -
"Every essentHrrallegaTIon of crimi
nality made in the: report; is convinc
ingly supported by this exhibition oi" ,
the papers. Thirty-seven republican
members of the legislature, every on&
ot them lairly and legally elected,, were
counted outC and enough, democrats
and greenbackers-wertucounted in to
give the fusionists a majority. The
evidence shows that tho conspiracy
against the people" was plotted before
hand; thatttgainst the republicans: eY-
ery provision of law that coidd bo
"wrested to the purpose was enforced.
:and the same provisions' were not en-
lorced against the fusionists"; ttiat 'de
fects in the returns-were not allowed
to be remedied where the remedy would
give an advantage to the republicans,
but that the members of council went
out of their way and violated the law
to secure the correction qf defeets, to
assist the fusion returns went out to .
be revised by the town officials the'
republicans ven denied anv opportu-"
nity to examine for errors in their -re-
turns. More thaitrhifitisconclusive-
ly pro veil that correct returns irqin
towns electing republicans were,
changed at the state house to make a
pretext for throwing them out, and
that incorrect returns from towns elect
ing fusionists were changed to enable .
them to be counted. The forgeries aro
apparent to the least skillful eye exam
ining the fac simile reproductions of
the papers. The repdrtisa clear, strong
narrative of a shameless violation of
official trust, contempt of law. corrupt,
malfeasance in ofllce for partisan ends,
and a despotic reversal of the results of
an election.
"This is not all. It is shown that
those members of council who did
this thing also put into their pockets
extravagant and unwarranted sums of
money, drawn from the state treasury,
charging the people whom they de
frauded of their dearest rights more
than any republican administration
had charged for honest services. -Gov.-Garcelon
drew moneys from the treas
ury fpr puqioses unauthorized by law,
and long after his term expired had to
be called upon to refund money which'
he had drawn from the state treasury
illegally and held after he ceased to be'
an official. All the- most fragrant,
crimes charged by the democrats
against the carpelhagger governments
of the south are herein proved upon
the democrat-greenback administration
in Maine, and the democratic party
condones them and defends and fra
ternizes with the guilty scoundrels as
if they had done nothing reprehensible.
- "Wc said that the perpetrators of
these iniquities were convicted by this
investigation. How thoroughly con-,
victed is shown by the fact that they
would not appear to make explanations'
of the evidence, given largely by their
own party friends. The fusion mem
bers of the committee did not inakq
any attempt, even by argument, to
vindicate the good name of their party
administration. We present tiieir
committee report in full, except the
formal opening sentence: 'Silence on
the part of the undersigned would bo.
construed as an assent to all of the ar
guments and conclusions of such ma
jority report, though they cannot deny
that the recital of facts in the report
is substantially in accordance with the
evidence. Mr. Wood, of the council
of Gov. Gareelon, was before the com
mittee, but he failed to explain the ir
regularities which had been proved.
Gov Gareelon also testified at a later
period that he had no previous knowl
edge of much -which has been shown
by the testimony to need explanation.
A letter, courteous in its language, was
addressed by theclerkof thecommittee
to each of the other members of Gov.
Garcelon's council, saying that an op
portunity would 1)o granted them- to
appear and testify. The undersigned
regret that the members of the counqil
have not seen fit to appear and explain
the irregularities which seem to exist.
The evidence being contradicted the
undersigned cannot make a denial of
the facts proved by it, and can only
withhold their assent to the conclu
sions arrived at by the majority of the
committee.
"This is simply a gpnfession of judg
ment. There is not a shadow of doubt
that the democrat greenback alliance
in Maine did a year ago coollv plot to
steal the government by af ra'ud as vile
as the democrats charge upon the
returning board. There is, however,
this difference between Maine and
Louisiana. The Louisiana board was
authorized by law to purge the election
returns, and their action is sustained
by degrees of the Supreme court of the
state. The Maine returning board
usurped the powers it exercised, and
its action has been condemned by the
Supreme court of the state in "three
unanimous opinions. The coalition of
these corrupt elements now forming
will justly force the Maine fraud upon
the attention of the whole people.
A New York man was challenged to
fight a duel the other day, and being
at liberty to choose his own weapons,
proposed a trip to Boston on a Sound
steamer. The challenger backed out.
If the lew York doctors were expe
rimenting on a tom-cat, instead of Tan
ner, Brother Bergh would light down
on them "like a thousand brick."
