The Station-Master's Troubles.
The local agents of railroads com
plain that the questions asked them
every day are of such a nature that
they cannot keep their patience on all
occasions ; and any one who. lias re
mained long in the neighborhood of a
ticket window may find it easy to be
lieve it.
An exchange describes a portly lady
with a great many bundles , who looked
as if she had been buying out the
stores , in front of the window at a
station.
"Has the train for Jungleville gone
yet ? " she asked.
"No , ma'am , " responded the ticket-
seller.
"How far is it there ? "
"About seventy miles , ma'am. "
"What's the price of a ticket ? "
"One ninety-eight. "
"One ninety-eight ! " she repeated.
"How does it happen to bo that ? "
"I don't know , ma'am , " answerer ! the
ticket-seller , deferentially , and with a
glance at the bundles , "unless it's
marked down from two dollars ! '
Another curious profession among
the Bedouin is that of the "thief-track
ers. " Being without paddocks or sta
bles , and their animals always more or
less at liberty , theft of stock would ap
pear to be an easy and frequent mat
ter. Each tribe , nowever , has its lit
tle company of "trackers , " and it would
be either a bold or an ignorant man in
deed who ventured to interfere with an
Arab's live-stock. I hare heard of one
instance in which a camel stolen from
a camp near Isrnailia was , after weeks
of labor , successfully tracked to tbe
Soudan , where tbe beast was recaptured -
; ed and summary vengeance wreaked
upon the robbers. Selected for natural
ability , and trained from boyhood to
discriminate between each animal's
footprint , this faculty becomes so high
ly developed that a particular horse'e
or camel's trail is unerringly picked up
from among the thousands of impres

CHAPTER I.
The Cape Fear bank was one of the
bid and solid institutions of the South for
many years prior to the late civil war
In fact , it's stability was not only pro
verbial in the old town of Wilmington ,
but throughout the entire South.
Its president , Alvin DeRosette , was a
man pointed out to the youth of the rising
generation as one whose career was to be
emulated.
The bank president was getting well on
In years , in 1857 ; nor was he destined to
see the termination of that year , as the
render will soon learn.
On the 15th of August , and in vigorous
health , aside from a rheumatic affliction
of long standing he had in the manner of
former occasions celebrated his birthday
this time his G7th by having gathered
round the festive board at Oak Hall a
large number of his personal friends.
To them it was a pleasure to drink to
the toast that had on at least twenty pre
vious occasions of like nature been pro
posed by Jerry Dobbs , the old attorney
of the bank , who always occupied an hon
ored position at the right of the master
of Oak Hall. But the toast ? Yes , the
toast. Ah , one of those birthday dinners
would have been incomplete without Un
cle Jerry and his toast.
The old attorney was nearing his three
score and ten he had been one of the orig
inal incorporators of "The Cape Fear
Bank , " and all that pertained to it was
dear to his heart particularly so was
Its president , whom he .had helped to
elect a quarter of a century before , and
under whose management the institution
had flourished.
That the bank might flourish until the
end of time was the ardeut desire of Un
cle Jerry.
That Alvin DeRosette and himself
might live to see the cash capital of the
concern a round million dollars was his
earnest wish so in his toast he always
coupled Alvin and the bank together.
He felt that he should have included
his own name , as lie was virtually a part
of the bank , but he was fully aware that
Alviu would round up his toast in a satis
factory manner , so his words on these
occasions were these : "The Cape Fear
bank and its president ; may they live long
and prosper. "
"And may the bank's worthy attorney
live long to guide them clear of breakers , "
were the words added by Uncle Alvin.
Now this was the toast , drank as usual ,
at midday on the 15th of August , 1857.
At 3 o'clock on the 22d , only seven days
later , all that remained mortal of Alvin
DeRosette was consigned to the grave ;
and now it will be necessary to revert to
the 18th day of August , the thh-d day
following that of Alvin DeRosette's 67th
birthday.
The weather was intensely warm , and
the banker was seated in an armchair
near an open window in his private office
at the bank. He held in one hand a fold
ed document. It was his will , and had
been drawn six months before this time.
He had been reperusing it.
"Strange , " he said suddenly , "both the
witnesses to this document dead ; sailed
for Europe on the Gosmore and went
down within sight of the Britishcoast. .
Only thirty saved , if I remember , of over
two hundred souls , and poor lioyd and
Elliot were not of the thirty.
"I should have other signatures now as
witnesses. Oh , well , I will have Dobbs
bring in a friend to-morrow , and have
them sign but for that matter , there was
no particular necessity of the document ,
anyway. Where there is an only child ,
and the mother dead , there can be no
question as to who would inherit ; but then
it is better so.
"I wished also to leave no question as
to what my intentions were regarding
Herman Craven. I hail no desire to leave
him a fortune. True , he is my nephew ;
but I have left him fully enough to dissi
pate and enough , if he has the disposi
tion , to form the nucleus of a fortune.
"Strange , sister Mattie would marry
Stephen Craven when the whole family
told her how unworthy he was , and pleaded -
ed with her to renounce him. Well , she
would not listen ; she became the wife of
a blackleg and a gambler , and in three
short years died of a broken heart , leav
ing behind a ch\ld who has grown up an
exact counterpart of his father. Now ,
if the father had died when Hermanwas
an infant , or even a lad , and I had had
the boy to train , I might have instilled
some principle into his mind ; but coming
to me , with the information that his fath
er was dead , at twenty-two years of age ,
his character formed , and it a treacherous
one if I am a judge , I have felt that I was
standing over a mine ever since I placed
him at the cashier's desk. And yet he has
been there a year now , and all has gone
well , but he is scheming scheming , sure !
"Well , I can watch him while I live. The
death of Toonibs made it necessary that
I name a new cashier ; I named my
nephew , and have regretted it ever since.
Every dollar of his salary goes , and I am
told that he is hand-in-glove with a gam
bling set. I have done my duty by him
In my will of course , if he inspires more
confidence by his conduct , I may add a
codicil in the future.
"Lest will and testament ! Signed and
witnessed ! Too bad Jerry is so advanced
in years. I shall probably outlive him.
I will see Clark when he comes home next
week. Time enough for that ; there is no
risk ; the court would arrange it in case
bf necessity. "
Uncle Alvin arose from his chair and
passed out into the counting room of the
bank. The Ifuge iron safe was standing '
with wide open doors directly behind the
cashier. , The bank president drew -out
one of the drawers and withdrew there
from n bundle of papers , around which i
vas a k'ubbur baud , lie raiaed the baud , i
lipped under it his will , and restored the J
package to the safe. Ihen turning to the
cashier , said : "Well , Herman , I can give <
you a few minutes now. Yon stated that 1
there was something you wished to say
to me. Come in my deu. Mr. Talbot can
represent you for a few minutes. " <
"Certainly , " said Talbot , who was one <
of tiie bank tellers. . v
Mr. DeRosette retraced his steps , and
had resumed his seat when his nephew
with a flushed face and seemingly very
nervous , approached him.
Herman Craven at this time had passet
In's twenty-third year. He was of rathe
slight build , dark complexion , black hai
and mustache , and restless , piercing eyes
But for the prominence of his white teeth
he might have been considered attractive
looking. f
"Well , sir ! " exclaimed the banker , look
ing up.
The nervousness of the cashier increas
ed ; but mastering his emotion as best he
could , he said : "Uncle Alvin , I have fo
some time wished to say to you what I
now shall , but have lacked the opportu
nity. At the house I never have one. '
"How so , sir ? "
"Oh , I did not like to ask you , in Hat
tie's presence , for your consent to seel
her hand. " '
"Her hand ? Hattie's hand.exclaim
ed the banker , excitedly.
"Yes , Uncle. I love my cousin as I do
my life , and would make her my bride
now you know why I wished to see yoi
privately I ask your consent. "
"Ask my consent to wed my daughter ? '
exclaimed the old man , springing to hi ?
feet. "Are you crazy ? You ! You wed
my daughter ? Was it to hear this state
ment from your lips that I took you into
my employ ? For this that I gave you a
home and position ? Rest assured , young
man , that as dearly as I love my daughter
I would gladly lay her form in the grave
ere I would see her wedded to a son of
Stephen Craven ! "
"That that is all , sir. "
The words came faintly from the white
lips of the young man. His hands were
tightly clenched , and his features worked
convulsively.
"All ? My God , it is enough ! " exclaim
ed the banker. "Never let me hear words
on this subject from your lips again , or ]
will draw a new will and disinherit you
altogether. In my present one you are
left a legacy enough to squander , or tc
make a name and a position with , when
1 am gone. Take your choice. Have you
ever dared breathe of your love to my
daughter ? "
"Uncle Alvin , I know not why you are
so bitter against me , " said the young man
as calmly as he could , though there was
a raging fire burning within his bosom
"You should know that without your con
sent I would not seek to win my cousin's
love. You speak of me as Stephen .Cra
ven's son , but am I not also the son of
your own sister ? "
"Unfortunately , yes and that shoult
preclude your ever being my daughter'
husband. Place my objections on that
ground , if you will. First cousins should
never marry. You may go. "
Biting his lips , the young man turned
away , but ere he reached the door the
banker recalled him.
"Herman , " he said , "I do not wish to
be unjust to you , but I cannot conceive
how you came by the audacity you must
be imbued with to dare ask my daughter's
hand. Yes , yes , I can. You inherited it
from Stephen Craven. My prejudice
against your father , who wrecked my sis
ter's life and brought her to an untimely
grave , shall not does not rest on your
head , else you would not be in the position
you are in to-day. I have tried to do my
duty by my sister's son. "
"You have been very kind to me , sir.
regret that I dared raise my eyes so high
"
as
"Nothing more about that , " broke in the
old man. "I trust that your illusion has
been dispelled. As 1 have stated , I have
remembered you in my will to some ex
tent. It rests with you , by your conduct
and life , to merit a larger remembrance.
I may live for ten years to come. Show
an inclination , from your ample salary , to
save something for yourself. Cast off a
certain wild set , with whom , I am told ,
you spend many of your evenings. Aban
don altogether whisky and gambling , and
have no fear , I will do my full duty by
you. Do yours by me , young man , and
better than you have been doing it. "
"Uncle , I have been slandered. Did you
ever see me under the influence of liq
uor ? "
"No- was the answer , "or you would
not to-day be the cashier of this bank ; but
have not been slandered.
you . Now you
have been warned. You are an inmate of
my own house ; in a manner a companion
of my daughter and myself when there.
My roof shall not shelter a gambler , or a
trickster. You are young. I have placed
you where you have every opportunity of
proving yourself a man ; but under no con
ditions could you wed my daughter. That
is all. "
"And under no conditions would she
become your wife should I be called
away. " thought 'the banker as the young
man left his presence. "She has a just
appreciation of you , if I mistake not , and
besides , I thiuk her heart is in the keep
ing of another "
"What is it , Duke ? "
"Mars Alvin , " replied a coal black ne
gro , who had opened the door between the
reception room of the bank and the bank
er's private office. "Young Mars Robert
Campbell would like to see you. "
"Ah ! " ejaculated the banker , and an
amused smile stole over his features
"Admit him , Duke. "
The negro , who was fully as aged as the
banker , and who had belonged to his fath
er before him , was a trusted servant who
sweptjthe bank , dusted the furniture and
acted as usher , withdrew , and in a mo
ment more a young man who certainly
bore not the slightest resemblance to Her
man Craven , entered the office.
Robert Campbell was of near Herman's
age tall , well formed and of athletic
mold , fair complexion , sandy hair and
mustache , and'deep blue eyes. There was
an unmistakable * air about him that pro
claimed him a descendant of an ancestry
of noble men and women. Why should
there not have been , when it had been the
Doast of his grandfather , who had been
among the early settlers of eastern North
Carolina , that he belonged to the Clan
Campbell of Scotland.
The grandfather had lain many years
beneatnCarolina's soil , and two year *
previous to this occasion of the young
man's entering the bank his father had
been laid beside him , leaviog his son an
honored name , the care of a widowed
mother and young sister , and little else.
The Campbells had ! formerly been one
of the wealthiest , turpentine distilling
firms in the South , but the failure of two
State banks in succession in 1852 , togeth
er with the loss of one of their largest
plants by fire , crippled them so badly th'at
they were forced to suspend. True , the
firm paid dollar for dollar until their last
debt was wiped out , but in doing so it left
them with no capital with which to re
build or carry on their business.
Duncan Campbell never rallied from
this sad reverse , but died two years later ,
and without materially improving the
financial condition of Campbell & Son.
After his father's death young Robert
had made a loan of ten thousand dollars
of Banker DeRosette , who had all confi
dence in his Integrity and ability to re
trieve the- Campbell fortunes.
The banker had accepted for this loan
a note signed by Robert Campbell alone ,
and payable five years from date , said
note bearing interest at 8 per cent.
The first year's interest had been met
on the 18th day of August , 1850 , and this
day the second payment was due. But
it was not the prospective payment of the
interest that causedthe amused smile on
the banker's lips.
Robert Campbell had for'two years or
more been a frequent caller at his resi
dence , pad the banker had noted that a
growing intimacy had been advancing be
tween the young man and his daughter.
So when Duke had mentioned his name ,
and just after Herman Craven had made
his avowal , Uncle Alvin thought not of
the interest money , but of the probability
of another demand soon b ing made for
his daughter's hand.
"Well , Robert , I am glad to see you , "
he exclaimed , as the young man came for
ward with extended hand. "How is the
mother and Jennie ? "
"Well , Mr. DeRosette , well , thank you.
I need hardly ask concerning Miss Hattie ,
I saw her so recently. You know the eight
hundred dollars interest money is due to
day. "
"I had not thought of it. "
"Well , it is , and I cannot pay it until
late to-night. "
"Oh , no haste , Robert , no haste. Take
your time. "
"Ah , sir , you have been very kind to
me ; but I wish to pay this money to-night ;
and more , it is at my option , you know , to
take up my note at any time I am able.
I am able now. The two past years have
been very favorable to distillers. All my
improvements are paid for , and I shall
receive by the ten o'clock express to-night
twelve thousand five hundred dollars. I
wish to take up the note , and to have a
bank account once more established in
the Campbell name. "
"I congratulate you , Robert ; but why
will not to-morrow do ? "
"Because , sir , I leave for Baltimore on
the four o'clock train to-morrow morning.
I must dispose of this money before go
ing. "
"Humph ! You might call at the house.
I never retire before eleven. That will be
the plan. I will take the note home with
me , and I can bank the money iu the
morning. "
"And there is another thing , sir , " said
the young man , blushing , "that I have
only waited until this time to to consult
you about. I wish to , to "
Here the sound of Attorney Dobbs'
voice was heard in the outer room as he
approached the door.
"Tell me to-night , Robert , my boy , " said
the banker. "Dobbs may be here for an
hour. "
"I think I know your secret , young
man , " thought Mr. DeRosette , as Robert
hastily passed from' the office.

TRUE KINDNESS.
Rich Man Who Believed In Doing Good
wi'tli H's Money.
The late Colonel Lee , of Brookline ,
Mass. , was a rich man who thought
that the rich should give away money ,
instead of consuming their , income on
luxuries and an ostentatious establish
ment. The man who accumulated and
did not distribute was , in his judgment ,
not only selfish and foolish , but danger
ous to society. The saying of the Mas
ter , "Freely ye have received , freely
give , " so ruled Colonel Lee's life that
for forty years he was never tired of
giving money to those religious , politi
cal , educational , charitable and com
memorative objects which his judg
ment approved. He did more ; he gave
time , service.himself , at the command
of duty , even jumping social barriers to
respond to its call. A writer in the Bos
ton Transcript tells this Btory :
Colonel Lee was one day driving
through Brookline , when his progress
was obstructed by laborers digging in
the street. Glancing at the men , while
the obstruction was being removed ,
the old gentleman noticed one poor fel
low with a handkerchief tied about his
hand and evidently in great pain.
Questioning the man , Colonel Lee
learned that a pick had almost perfor
ated his hand , and beside bleeding pro
fusely and suffering intense pain he
was in great ( danger from a poisonous
development. The sight was too much
for Colonel Lee.
Asking the laborer to get into his car
riage , a victoria drawn by a pair of
handsome horses , he took him to a phy
sician , saw to it that the wound was
dressed , and learning of the sufferer's
poverty provided for him generously
until he could resume work. Later he
placed him in a position to provide more
abundantly for his family and to rest
secure in thd knowledge of his permanent
nent comfort
The Facts in the Case.
The "new reporter , " who is never so
much the subject as the object of amus
ing stories , appeared in Chicago jour
nalism the other day , and was sent , to
investigate a quarrel. This , says th
News , is what he wrote :
"A man killed a dog belonging to an
other man. The son of the man whose
dog was killed proceeded to whip the
man who killed the dog of the man he
was the son of. The man who was the
son of the man whose dog was killed
was arrested on complaint of the man
who was assaulted by the son of ths
man wLose dog the man who was as
saulted had killed. "
OUTWITTING ROTHSCHILD ,
Italian Shopkeeper JIaJses Him Pay a
Hi b Price for a Ciurio.
An amusing story , told in the "Mem
ories of an Old Collator , " makes clear
the tricks in trade to which an un
scrupulous dealer In antiquities will re
sort In order to get a lauge sum for his
wares. The two parties were Alessan-
dro Castellan. ! , the clever dealer , and
Baron Adolph Rothschild of Paris.
Castellani had managed to get bold
of a Buperb enameled ewer , together
wl h the dish on which it stood. He
knew that Bason Adolph had a fancy
for objects of this kind ; but he also
knew that no Rothschild was ever so
carried away by his fancy as to pay
more than was reasonable for anything
that pleased him. Castellani , who in
trade was what Macbiavelli was in pol
itics , devised a bit of strategy.
The Baron on arriving in Rome vis
ited Castellanl's shop .and was shown
the best things the dealer had , except
the enameled dish aad ewer. When
everything else had been inspected ,
Castellani drew from a hidden cup-
bgad the dish , but not the ewer. The
baron was so pleased with the dish
that he agreed to buy the lot of which
it was a past ; for one of the customs of
the shop was not to sell a rare speci
men apart from the group of which it
formed the principal object The Baron
paid hearily for the Arliole , lamenting
that there was no ewer to stand on the
dish , and departed for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent who
told him of an old lady who wished to
sell several beautiful majolica pieces.
He visited her house in the country and
was disappointed , as the majolica was
not fine enough to suit his taste. The
old lady , seemingly chagrined , left the
room to ovdw refreshments , and the
Baron saw , through the open door of a
bedxcom , a ewer , covewd by a glass
fihade , on which rested a wreath of im-
moptelles.
When the lady , returned the Baron
aslcjed permission to examine the ewer.
It was brought out , and the Baron saw
that the enamel was of the same work
as that of the dish he bad bought , but
lie wished to be certain that the foot
of the erer would fit into the hollow of
the diah. He inquired the price of the
ewer , ad wa * teld by the lady that it
was not for sale , as it was the only
souvenir she possessed of her husband.
The Baron went back to his rooms ,
had the dish unpacked , and found that
the foot of the ewer fitted it perfectly.
The next day the Baron sent the agent
to o f r the old lady a princely sum for
the ewer. He brought back a refusal
to sell. But at last the widow's scruples
wove overcome.
Castellani , with his Italian cunning ,
had planned the whole affair. The
agent wlio called and the old lady who
was sentimental were his aids in mak
ing the Baron pay a much larger sum
than he would have siven had ewer and
dish baen sold together. The Italian
shopman's scheme had taken in the
Jewish banker , reputed one of the most
astute of business men.
The story will be appreciated by
those collectors who have been taught
by experience to distrust so-called
"finds. " The Arab , conducting a party
among the ruins of an Egyptian tem
ple , suddenly stumbles upon a scarab.
He offers it for sale as a genuine an
tique , two or three thousand years old.
Some one buys it , , for did the Arab not
pick it up before the eyes of the whole
party ? Yes , but two days before they
did not see him bury the modern imita
tion in that very spot.
Killing a Bear iu Klondike.
We heard , the brushwood crackling
before passage ot some heavy animal ,
and without a word we leveled our
weapons and waited , says Black-
wood's. We saw advancing towuKl
us an enormous bear , whose great eyes
gleamed savagely in the pale light as
he came near. Now he was within
twenty yacds of where we stood , and
as his huge forelegs pawed the air '
clumsily in his endeavor to climb over !
a fallen tree , his white bveast was fully i
exposed in the moonlight. I

"Let him have the buckshot , Stew-

gun reverberated through the wooded
slopes. This was followed by a savage - i
age roar from the bear , and , stepping <

the blood streaming from his head and :
his great tongue lolling out , staggering
'
wildly forward. "His head has been
too tough , Stewart ; I'll need to spoil .
him after all. " I said , regretfully , and i
'
I pulled the trigger of my rifle and j
sent a soft point bullet sight into the , i
great yawning mouth , scarce a dozen ! <
yards away. (
The sharp crack of my rifle was fol
lowed by no smoke , and I threw the <
lever open and was ready for another
shot , but it was unnecessary , the great. i
bear lay dead on the snow , fast stain-1 '
ing its white surface with his blood.
,
We went forward to examine him. and -
found that two of Stewart's pellets
had penetrated his eyes , while the rest |
had little effect on his sloping fore-
head. My bullet had entered his
mouth and a large hole in the back of
the skull showed where that deadly
"dum-dum" had made its exit
