HURRAY. +********** * » ►♦♦♦♦♦•M-********* Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings were two young fellows who had been friends from earliest childhood, and schoolmates together up to the age of fourteen, in Bristol. England. Their fathers were merchants, and the fami lies were very well off as regards this world’s goods. The two young men, having secured as good common school education as wat possible, both enter ed the counting rooms of their respec tive parents, and were still boon com panions until they chanced to make the acquaintance of Miss Mary Marr, a girl in their ov.n sphere of society, and about the same age as the young friends. Still for some months after their in troduction to Miss Marr, there was no unpleasantness between them, but by and by the simple acquaintance seem ed to ripen into oae of intimacy be tween the three, and all at once it flashed upon both Harry and Frank that they were both in love with Miss Marr, and as Loth could not marry her, a source of rivalry w’as inevitable. Yet so well founded was heir long and consistent friendship that there was no exhibition of feeling upon the subject between them, and to all out ward appearances they were still the best of friends when together. But when absent from each ether a s ir.t of antagonism very naturally suggest ed itself, until by degrees it did not fail to be manifest in public. The young lady had not shown any preference between them, and if she had a choice she thus far kept it quite to herself. She treated them so nearly alike, and regarded both with such un disguised good will and friendship, that the most acute observer could de tect no partiality. Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings each imagined himself the favored one, and put just such interpretations upon her words and smiles as he pleased. Thus matters remained for a consid erable time without having progressed to such a stage as would warrant eith er in seeking to formally make know n his pretensions, or-to ask cf Miss Marr her own avowal of affection. But in the meantime the slight change in the feelings of Harry and Frank toward each other grew to be something quite serious, and they mu tually wondered how they could ever have been good friends In time-s past. They no longer spoke to each other. If they met they would turn their faces away without the least recognition, and this Damon and Pythias appeared as though they only lacked the means and opportunity in order to destroy each other. Their friends and ac quaintances observed the change, and soon learning of the intimacy of the young men at the house of Miss Marr, they w’ere not long In drawing the very natural deduction that jealousy was at the bottom of this discord between the two long-tried young friends. Of course, there was nothing which other parties could do in the premises, how r - ever much this state of affairs might be regretted. Miss Marr was a’very sweet and ac complished girl ’of eighteen, and no one w’ondered that the gentlemen found so much p lp a q ,‘ r S 1° hgr sqHety^ saw" how’ fitter a TeelTng ¥he bat! been the cause of creating between Harry and Frank, and, in her very delicate and sensitive nature, she deeply re gretted it, and said to herself: “When 1 come to let them know which of them I prfefer, then the bitter hate w’hirh now exists between them will all be transferred to the heart of one.” This was very true. The bitterness between the former friends seemed to increase daily, until finally meeting by themselves, they deliberately proposed to each other to seek some quiet spot and to settle their pretension# to the hand of Miss Marr with pistols. This W’as but a few years since, when resort to the duel in England was scarcely heard of. But so much in earnest were these rival:) that they agreed to this plan, selected the spot for the purpose, and made, very se cretly the necessary arrangements. When, by some mistake all was discov ered, they were brought before the lo cal court and put under heavy bonds to respect the laws and to behave themselves properly. This ended the proposed duel, though they had been quite in earnest. The families of Osgood and. Cum- piings lived in outlying cottage houses in the suburbs of Bristol, and not far separated from erch other, all the oth er members of these families being on the best of terms. One morning the neighborhod be came very much excited over the fact that Frank Osjood was missing The window of his room was open and very near the ground, by which means certain tracks indicated that he hat left his father’s house. lie had taken nothing away with him except the clothes he usually wore, so far as could be discovered, and after a whole day’s search for him the mutter of his sud den disappearance began to look quite serious. Beneath the window by which young Osgood seemed to have made his es cape during the night there were foot prints in considerable numbers, as though there had been more than one person present at the time. While these tracks continued in th° yard on the soft ground, they could be traced, and an impression had been carefully taken of them by the j o- lice. In the meantime every effort was made to discover a solution of the mystery, but all to no purpose. Harry Cummings found the coast clear, so to speak, and i;i a few days he ventured to tell Miss Marr how tenderly he loved her. and how long he had done so. To his great delight he found that his affection was re ciprocated. The excitement at the sudden disap pearance of Frank Osgcod in no way abated. Suddenly it was remembered how bitter an enmity had lately sprung up between him and young Cummings. The officers of the law even referred to the proposed duel which had been pre vented by -the interference of the au thorities, and it was more than hinted that possibly Harry Cummings might throw some light upon the matter. In his absence from home one day, a detective called at his house with a search warrant, much to the conster nation of the fam:ly. This officer had with him a measure representing the footprints under the missing man’s windows, and he found that Harry's 8\oes just fitted the impression, which seemed to him to be such conclusive evidence of his having been present beneath the window that he sought the office of the district attorney at once. Strange whispers were heard about the neighborhood. Harry Cummings was kept under close surveillance by the local police. All his incomings anJ outgoings were carefully observed, but nothing suspicious could be found against him except the fatal accuracy with which his shoes fitted those marks under the missing man's win dow, and also the fact that he was so bitter an enemy of Frank Osgood. The sentiment of jealousy supplied a motive, and altogether a rather sus picious case began to grow up against young Cummings. Though on examination it appeared that Frank had left no money In his room, it was also remembered that he usually carried a pocketbook with him containing the most, if not all, of his available pash. He was in the receipt cf a regular salary from his father, and, as his habits were economical, he must have had a considerable sum in his pocket be ok. But still there was no reason to suspect that a robbery had taken place. The missing man must have been induced to leave his room voluntarily, that was plain, 'hough why or wherefore was a pro found mystery. In their researches, the detectives learned another fact, which, as a link in the chain, looked very important to them, and very suspicious. There was no latchkey to the door of the Cum mings house and anyone desiring en trance after a certain hour, when the front door was always locked, would be compelled to ring and summon one of the servants. It was remem bered by the maid, whose duty it was to answer the doorbell that on Tues day night when Frank Osgood had disappeared, her young master, Harry, had come home very late, long after she had retired, and she was obliged to get up and put on a wrapper to open the door for him. She was very sicepy she said, and just remembered the fact, but nothing more. She could not even tell the time, but thought it was after midnight. She did not no ice her young master's appearance on the occasion, as she was half asleep at the time. Such was the girl’s sim ple evidence. Harry Cummings was now arrested and thrown into prison. Evidence suf ficient was thought to exist to impli cate him, and the cry onee raised, pub lic opinion gradually set against him. The proposed duel, the known bitter ness existing between him and the missing man. the footprints exactly fitting those of his own shoes, his ab sence from home on that special night at an unusual hour, all seemed to point to complicity in his former friend's disappearance, nearly as strongly as circumstantial evidence could do. Of course, the accused procured the best possible legal assistance, and found no difficulty in convincing his counsel of his innocence of the charge brought against him, but at the same time the legal gentleman was com pelled to admit that there was con siderable ground for a case against his nT“'""TT?Ti’y pTainclli—Lu Jus. Some trifling matters, which we need not now refer to, had been brought to light which were thought to still fur ther implicate the prisoner. The court was opened with more than usual sol emnity. The counsel for the defense rose and delivered a very strong argument against the weakness of circumstantial evidence. It was a philippic that com manded profound attention, and even .the judges listened to it with earnest ness and surprise, it was so well ex pressed, and so indisputable in its de ductions. ♦•And now, may it please the court and gentlemen of the jury in re ply. to all the evidence introduced against my client, in reply to the fal lacy generally of circumstantial evi dence, I shall give you but one proof.” He walked quietly to a side door, and opened it. Frank Osgood walked into the court, well and hearty, bowing low to the judge and jury! The surprise of all can hardly be de scribed. It was impossible for the officers to preserve a proper state of decorum under such exciting circumstances, and cheers arose in the room from the crowd, so genuine, so spontaneous, as to defy all attempt to control them, while some of the women fainted, partly from intensity of feeling, and partly from excitement, caused by the noise, which was for some moments perfectly deafening. Frank Osgood was very generally known to those present, and was, of course, instantly recognized. Walking up to the prisoner. Harry Cummings, the long-missing man gave him his hand cordially, which created another burst of applause, and it was absolutely necessary to clear the court room before further legal proceedings could take place, owing to the reign ing excitement among the spectators. All was soon explained. The night before his disappearance, Frank had made an avowal of his love of Mary Marr, and had been firmly but delicately refused. This so morti fied and embittered him at first that he became almost crazed. He did not go to bed that night at all, but, Jump ing out of the low window, wandered he knew not whither. Finally com ing to the shore, he saw a ship just letting go her moorings to drop down to sea with the morning tide. She Avas bound for South America.

This was the cause of his not getting home that Tuesday night until just after midnight. “What were you thinking about to absorb you so? ’ asked his lawyer. “Miss Mwr,” said Harry, frankly. ‘I was making up my mind to propose to her, and was weighing the proper course to pursue in case I found her indiffereht, or if there should be any obstacles raised. It may seem a slight matter to you,” he continued to his legal adviser, “but it waa all absorb ing to me, and I neither saw’ nor heard what was going on about me.” “You did not meet anyone?” “No; it was quite dark, and be sides, if I had, 1 should not have no ticed them.” “That’s a pity.” “Why?” “Because, if we could prove you io ha\e been elsewhere on that evening or night, we are ail right.” “Oh. an alibi?” “Exactly.” The bitterness of feeling between Frank Osgood and himself he freely admitted, though he said: “It is all rone now, since Miss Marr and myself understand each other.” The matter of the footprints, Harry thought a simple absurdity. It was quite possible that the shoes of both were of tho same size, and possibly the same make. “Young Osgood was a great favor ite,’’ said his counsel, "ai d had not an enemy in the world, as f:;r as known, except yourself. And as theie is no evidence of robbery, what possible mo tive could lead anyone to put him out of the way? That is what the other side will argue,” he said to his,client. “You were the one enemy.” Over three months had elapsed since the disappearance of young Osgood, and the trial of Harry Cummings was about to take place, but close confine ment in prison and depressed spirits had together so worked upon his health that he was seriously ill of slow fever, too ill, as the doctors testified, to be brought up for trial. This was unfortunate in one respect. It gave those who believed in his guilt a fresh item of gossip, and they declared that his illness was assumed in order to stave off the conviction which would follow his trial. At last, after a considerable delay the trial came on. The principle evi dence relied upon by the prosecution was that which has already been men tioned. and through the ingenious mani pulation of the district attorney, a very strong case, based upon circumstantial evidence, was clearly made out against Harry Cummings. Now it was that all the womanly tenderness of Mary Marr, all the sin cerity of her affection, and all her confidence in her lover, shone out in beautiful relief as compared to the se vere ordeal through which he was Grow to Twice Actual XVeleht of Tlioao Kxpoacd to Sunlight Only — f.nteat Victory For Till* New nnd Beautiful Illuinlnaut.

The results of the experiments arc astonishing, inasmuch ns they show conclusively the great iucrease of growth attained by supplementing “The Light of Nature” with “The Light | of Acetylene” during the hours in | which the plants would otherwise be j in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daj light only, j all other conditions being equal, and peas bad blossomed and partially ma tured pods with the help of acetylene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. Acetylene Is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a cen tral plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and isolated buildings of all kinds, and it Is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylene is the ease ami small expense with which it can be made available compared with the great advantages derived from its use.

Vienna, June 1.—Again a Russian loan has failed. According to intelli gence from St. Petersburg, received in financial circles here, negotiations were proceeding quite lately with tho same syndicate of Paris banks which, three months ago, broke off negutla- ! tions just when they were to sign a j loan of 600,000,000f., (£24,000,000), I namely, the Credit Lyonnais, Comp- I toir d’Escompte, and the Banque de Paris. The renewed negotiations this tiftie ilaTT'also' reach'bd'"aaT si&g&r and a 5 per cent, six-hundred-million franc loan had been agreed to on the original basis, namely. Treasury bills with eight years currency, of which the syndicate was to take over 400,- i 000,000f., and 200,000,000f. on option. 1 All was ready and the signing fixed | for May 30.
