Tommy Is awfully ob streperous. I wish?how I wish we could do something for Tommy! He ought to be at school; It Is such a pity, for he is out and out the clever est of the whole brood. My dear Ar thur, could you conceive such a thing happening to one of us? Colonel Curtis has proposed to Janet! Alas! alas! why did they not tell me? I might have prepared the way; but he did the most foolish thing he could possibly have done. He went straight to father. What a want of common sense! You would have thought that father would have been pleased, and so he would have been, but as it was lie had the quarter's bills all pouring In, and he was in no humor for more worries. So he just told Colonel Curtis that he could not be bothered, that Janet was much too young? and she is actually nineteen?that i.e could not afford the expense of a wedding, and as I passed the library door I could not help hearing htm saying, 'For Heaven's sake, go away! My good sir, 1 entreat you to go away!' Oh! dear, how unlucky it Is! Colonel Curtis is as proud as Lucifer and speeds into the nearest shop at the most distant vision of our pro cession of perambulators upwards. He will never get over being told to go away, and Janet looks all to pieces from crying aH night and reading one little note he Bent her all day. Col onel Curtis has not shown himself again. I fancy he has left the Orange In a huff. I think he is a touchy indi vidual, and if Janet does marry him we shall lose her altogether, for he will never be able to tolerate us, even at twelve miles' distance. The quarter's bills are all paid now and wo are quite serene again. Tommy has given up epitaphs and taken to riddles, but he is out of his depth there, so the editor sent them back to him, and the snubbing has done him good. Before you are quite set tled down for ever and aye at your work, could you not run home and see us? "Dearest, dearest Arthur, how miss you, and yet I am so thankful you aro not here. Letty gota no bet ter, I am convinced it is her spine; but father says it Is temper. I wish we could have good advice for her Your own loving " CINDER-WITCH. * Arthur determined to obtain leave from his uncle to go home for a few days, though he was not quite so san guine as his little sister as to the pos sibility of making things right be twQ^n his sister and her fine, huffy suitor. He obtained the ' leave readily enough, and as M. Rlgaud was about to return to his French home it was agreed that they should bo traveling companions as far as Londou? CHAPTER V. The train was at 10.20. Aunt Betsy was quite loW at breakfast at the thought of the departure of her nephow. "Perhaps you will never come back, Arthur," she said, sorrowfully. **l am not given to presentiments, but I have one that I am not to keep you, my own boy, as I wished to do so much." "Don't say that, auntie," said Ar thur, gaily. "On the contrary, the danger Is that you may have too much of me." "Presentiments are very odd thing," said old Monsieur Rlgaud, who was eating vigorously, prepara tory to his own departure. "Is madame often troubled with them?" "They are generally the result of Indigestion," she answered, wiping her eyes. "I hope I don't believe in *any such nonsense." "They aro also very real," went on the old Frenchman. "The last time I left my poor wife I had a presenti ment that I should nevor see her ?gain. She was very 111 at the time." "Then why did you leave her?" 4 said Mr. Denstone, indignantly. "I did not believe In any such non sense." It was one of the sharp an swers that showed that his native shrewdness still existed, but he went on, as If to soften the effect! "There are strange things In nature, strange hereditary faculties and powers of which It Is difficult to trace the origin. 4They exist to an unusual degree In my wife's family." "Indeed; have they second sight?" said Mr. Denstone, lightly. "No, not that; a faculty as power ful, perhaps more useful. That ragout Is superb! ? May I venture to help mysolf a second time?" "Have you . many '"relations, , Rl %?aud?" said Mr. l)unstonc, handing Itm the dish. w *' u ' V'No," he answered, "I have no re lations In the world. I had one sis ter, totalise. 8he married a Monsieur Leducf they settled in Peru. Once I heard from her; she wrote requesting money. I was not In a position to grant her request. I heard afterward that both she and her hatband were I imagine that they left no L family or I should have heard of It. Of my wjfe's family none are left; yes, the Ay mere are extinct; the only lineal descendant Is my daugh ter, and she Is but a child. Yet I be lieve the strange powers ; but I apologize. Bah! the garrulity of old age is astonishing. You should check me madame." "It Interests me," said Aunt Betsy, "though I cannot say that I under stand you. Monsieur Rigaud; why, for instance, you should have let that poor creature out In Peru want when you were roiling In richest It passes me." "Let us distinguish," said Monsieur Rigaud, suavely. "She knew nothing of my wealth. She also belonged to my second life. She, of her Indiscre tion, asked help of my known pov erty. My refusal would have given' her no surprise. I, on the contrary, was the one to feel surprise." Mrs. Denstone looked at him with unfeigned astonishment. "The poor, dear, wrong-headed old gentleman!" ahe exclaimed to Arthur. "Was there | ever such blindness?" They traveled third-class, which suited Arthur's purse and Monsieur Rlgaud's pretensions. When . they reached London, Just as they were about to separate, the old Frenchman caught hold of Arthur's arm tremu lously. "My dear young sir," he said, "my good friend, listen to me. I have to go down to Southampton to-night. I am on my way home, you have understood. Goucy Is in the Breton country, not far from Vitre, very benighted; but I am safe enough over the Channel. I am a well-known commission agent there. Once at St Malo, I a us again myself. It Is Eng land that I fear. Do you divine what I want to ask? I will pay your Jour ney. Take me to Southampton; con vey me on board the boat with my little box. You shall not go unre warded." He did not like to desert him; in deed, without physical force, he could hardly have detached the grip on his arm. "You must pay my Journey," he said, bluntly; "I cannot afford that." "Yes, yes, and your moderate ex penses at an inn for the night. That Is understood. The boat leaves at 12 to-night. Come." he said, changing his tone, "we have to cross to Water loo station. Carry your box, my dear young man, and give me your arm." This time Monsieur Rigaud took first-class tickets. "The company ons meets Is perhaps safer," he said, hur rying into the compartment. "See I have taken both single, you can re turn third. It is safe for you, and you doubtless prefer It. Put the box under my feet, so. The night is fine, thank Heaven; I shall have a good passage." The train was Just about to start when the door was once more opened and a gentleman got In, carrying a large railway rug, which he wrapped carefully round his legs. He had grey hair, a great beard almost white, and blue spectacles. He leant out of the window and spoke to someone outside. "Yes. my friend," he said. In French, I return to Peru within a fortnight. I shall be glad to be at homo again." "Bah!" said the voice outside. "A Frenchman is never at homo off the pave at Paris." The train began to move, the trav eler waved his hand. MAu revolr!" he exclaimed. Arthur, leaning back sleepily in C?r.ner. of tho carriage, lazllv thought what a plump looking hand the old, gray haired man had. Their fellow traveler took out a novel, tried to read It by the Imperfect light of the compartment, then, with an Im patient "Pish!" returned it to his pocket. Arthur shut hlB eyes. Ho was Bitting opposite to Monsieur Rlgaud, tho Peruvian In the furthest corner, with his back to the engine. Arthur wan awakened by the cold, bony touch of Monsieur Rlgaud's h^pd. "Arthur!" he said. In a whisper. "MooHevr Arthur, listen to me. That gentleman. Did you not hear? He Ib of Peru. Is It not bo?" -Yes," said Arthur, sleepily. "He Implied It." "What do you think? Would It be prudent? He might know something of the family Leduc. I should like to know," said the old man, fumbling his hands together nervously, "Just from curiosity, you know, nothing else, what Louise died of. She was nearly of an age with myself; we played together. My mother com mended her to my protection. Bah! If not Imprudent, I might venturo a question or two, if you will begin." ?Monsieur," said Arthur, taking off his hat and addressing their fel low traveler in French, "may I ven ture to ask If yon are from Peru?" The gentleman bowed. "Certainly. I am at your service," ho said. "Do you know the eountry?" "No," Bald Arthur, "but this gen tleman is interested in a family once resident there, and If you could tell him anything about them he will be gratified." "Yea?" said the stranger, turning politely to Monsieur Rlgaud. "With the greatest pleasu re in my 11(0. Tho name of tho family " la Leduc," sold Monsieur Rlgaud. An elderly lady and gentleman?* she evidently with the remains of great beauty? Can It be the same?" ** Louise had some pretensions to good looks, and she must have been elderly. Yea. It la probably the earne. The news of their d laths was con veyed to me, air, but 1 never heard of what they died." "Of fever, monsieur; It waa an un healthy season. They died of fever, like many others; but the* son es caped It." "The son? fiut they had no fam ily." "Pardon. Then It cannot be the same. Theae Leducs had a son. Come! What waa hla name? He was named after some relative In France. Forgive me If I cannot re call the name." "It was not by chance Paul?" said Monsieur Rlgaud. "Yes, yes, Paul, that was It! I re member well, now. Paul Leduc. He must be a man now?that la. If he lived to grow up." "Then you do not know whether he is alive?" "Alas, no, monsieur! I have been absent from Peru for some years now. I have neither seen nor heard any thing of your young friend?or rela tive?" "My nephew," said Monsieur Rl gaud, "and, sir, excuse my many questions. I am a poor man myself, and feel for those In similar clrcum stances. Monsieur and Madame Le duc?were they embarrassed for money?" "Oh, que non!" said the stranger, quickly. "They were comfortably off. Madame was always well dressed; monsieur frequented the most expensive club. They were not rich bien entendu, but they had an ample sufficiency, which I Imagine has descended to my young friend Paul." "Just so," said Rigaud, whose con science being set at rest on the sub ject of his sister's fate, cared to hear no more. They reached Southampton at last. The stranger got out first, and kindly offered his hand to assist Monsteur Rigaud to descend. The IncongriRty of that hand again struck Arthur, and for a moment he looked fixedly at their fellow-passenger. The look was returned frankly, the eyes were bright, clear and penetrating, thqlr glanct open and frank. The two bowed a courteous good-night as Ar thur, carrying tho black box In one hand and supporting his old com panion on his arm, led him away through the din of the railway sta tion and across tho docks to the St. Malo boat. "Good-night! A thorsand thanks! I am at home again," said old Mon sieur Rigadd, saying adieu with em pressement, and Arthur stepped on shore as the bt>at moved off. CHAPTER VI. "There he is!" exclaimed Tola, leaping out of bed as a shower of lit tle pebbles danced up against the window. "Who? What?" said Janet, sleep ily. "Only Arthur. I will run down and let him in." And beforo Janet could reassemblo her scattered senses. Tola had plunged into her little blue dress ing gown and stolen swiftly down stairs. "Fancy his coming at this time of night!" said Janet, turning round on the pillow and comfortably betaking herself to slumber again. The hall clock had just struck 4. Tola, shivering with pleasure, ex citement and scanty raiment, opened the door and threw her arms round her brother in ecstasy. "My dear,' dear, darling old boy, "Come in at once. Are you cold? Are you tired? Are you hungry?" "Neither of the two first, though I walked from Plumtrce; but hungry is not tlio word. I am ravenous! I could eat you up bodily!" Tola laughed merrily. "Come to the schoolroom," she said. "I have surreptitiously concealed a regal ro past there, and the remnant of a lire!" Arthur caught up a shawl, fastened her up in it like a mummy and fol lowed her to the schoolroom. "Hur rah!" he said. "You are a Jolly little brick!" There was so much to tell. Arthur had to answer question after question before he could begin on his own side, and when the clock struck 6, the brother and sister were still crouched over tho dying fire, talking over all the family affairs as If tliey wore the parents birds on whom tho care of the nest depended. But at 5 Arthur rose up. "Now Tola," he said, "I mean you to go to bed, and not waste any moro of thp precious midnight oil. You dear little soul, you have certainly growu thinner since I saw you last." "Nevertheless, I am as leathery and active as?as?where shall I go for a simile?" "Oo to bed, my child; wo will talk to-morrow to our heart's content." Tho next morning the carrier brought over Arthur's luggage, nnd ho consigned tho Interesting little trunk to his mother with Mrs. Alfred Denstone's humble little m^ssa^e. To be Continued. Keep Mum. Women, as women, are pretty much alike. They have tho Game hair, dlfferlngsllghtly only as to colo/ and length; sanio features, same thoughts. When we love ono of them, therefore, we aro In roallty loving them all. But It Is just aa well not to mention this. ? Life. j DROUGHT IS SERIOUS Large Section Suffering Badly for Rain DISEASE OUTBREAK IS FEARED Eash Day Increases the Seriousness of the. Unprecedented. Conditions Which Obtain in Western Pennsyl vania, Eastern Ohio and West Vir ginia. Pittsburg, Pa., Special.?With loss es aggregating several million dol lars from forest tires and heavy dam ape to crops and live stock;-the re ported loss of a number of lives dttc to fighting timber conflagrations; the enforced idleness of thousands of workmen owing to the suspension of manufacturing establishments be cause of lack of water; the health au thorities anticipate a serious epi ! demie of contagious dieases and many small streams dried up and practically obliterated, the drought of 1J)08 which has held western Penn sylvania, eastern Ohio anil West Vir ginia in its grasp for more than two months remains unbroken; each day gradually increasing the seriousness of the unprecedented situation. Three times during the excessive dry spell there have been very slight rains, accompanied by much light ning and thunder, but the rain fall was so slight tlmt many j>ersons were unaware of the fact and were only convinced that it had rained when shown evidences of the same on tin roofs. Aside from the millions of feet of timber destroyed nnd the daily loss to manufacturers and farmers, prob ably the most serious phase of the situation is the threatened disease epidemic. A majority of the impu tation of western Pennsylvania, east ern Ohio and West Virginia are even now suffering from throat affections caused by the great accumulation of dust and the heavy clouds of smoke. In this city, used to smoke, the sun is almost obscured by smoke from forest fires miles away and persons in the vicinity of these fires are ex pericncinir difficulty in breathing. It is feared that when rain does eoine it will wash great amounts of filth into the already - Stagnant streams with the result tbnt disease; especial ly 'typhoid fever, will become epi demic. The health authorities have sounded warnings to the public to boil all water used for internal pur poses and say by doing this only can many deaths and much sickness he prevented. , Next in importance comes the en forced suspension of numerous indus tries and the throwing out of em ployment of thousands of workmen, many of whom had just returned to work following the recent depression. While in the Pittsburg district the water supply is sufficient to carry on all business the low stage of the riv ers has caused a congestion of ninth coal in this vicinity. Every available barqre and float lws broil loaded with eoal and at present with almost twenty million bushels in the Pittsburjr harbor, the river eoal mines have been eompelled to shut down for the want of shippirir facilities. There are about 15.000 miners employed in river mines alonp the Mononprnholia valley. This preat fleet of roil is for the supply of points in the West and South and tin* probabilities are thore will be n eoal famine experienced, especially in the Northwest, should conditions prevent the shipment of the eonl be fore eold weather sets in. Tti West 'Virginia lumber plants. plass fac tories and iron ami stool mills, looat od alonp the rivers, are elosed on ac eount of insufficient wnter. Tn Eastern Ohio the snmo eonditions prevail ami it is feared the preat iron and steel mills at Younpstown. O.. employing over 20.000 men, will have to suspend operations unless the drought is speedily broken. Interest in Yam Mill Sold. Yorkville, S. O., Special.?Mr. J. B. Petrrnm, of this place, who with Mr. W. B. Moore bought a con trolling interest in the Neely Yarn Mill, loeated here, about two years apo, and who with Mr. Moore was actively onirnped in the manntremont of the businoss, sold his interest to Mr. Moore nbont two weeks apo be cause of impaired health. Arranging for King Peter's Junket Belgrade, Servia. By Table.?The Stnmpa says that the question of the visit of Kimr Peter to the foreign courts will shortly be settled bv the joint action of the powers. The ex pressed desire of the powers that the officer* who were instrumental fn the death of King Alexander and Queen Drnga be removed from the active list will be compile,! with, says The Stampn. after which Kim: Peter will be received with full honors at the courts.

PART OF HEAD BLOWN OFF Contractor Jooopb Edgerton and Two Nogroaa Seriously, Probably Fatal ly, Injured by *lxplosion of Dyna mito in Blasting on New Railway. Rutherfordton, N. C.t Special.?An accident occurred on the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railway Home sev en or eight miles northeast of this place Friday night in which a white man and two negroes were seriously, if not fatally, injured. Mr. Joseph Edgerton, of this county, a sub-con tractor, was thexmost seriously in jured and now lies in the Rutherford ton Hospital in this town hovering be tween life and death, with the chances of his recovery against him . The facts so far as have been obtained are these: Mr. Edgerton and the two darki>*? whose names eouhl not be learned, had just finished drilling a hole in which they had used a small quantity of powder and dynamite to spring it. After giving the first blast suf ficient tinr.e to coul, as they thought, they then inserted a large quantity of dynamite, powder ami fuse and were engaged in tamping it down, when it was thought the fuse caught from the blast in springing the hole and caused an explosion. The whole of Mr. Edgerton's forehead was blown off. leaving his brain exposed. Both eyes were put out and he received had wounds in the side and stomach. He was brought to the hospital Fri day afternoon when the first news of the accident was made known.

Mangum had been to Raleigh trading horses, roller ting money and foreclosing mortgages. The trip through the country was made in a single buggy and he was leading four horses. Near East Durham, under a tree, three unmasked men ran out and seizing him by the throat, took his pistol from his belt, while he squalled so as to alarm the neigh borhood. The robbers tore his clothes nearly off and, securing his purs<> jerked him out of the buggy. They opened tire upon him and of the ten remembered shots he says he was touched three times.
