A lova of the excitement of gaming was innilto in Chester Sewall and now, a awakoned into full activity, fairly took jon of him. Hour after hour went by,, and still ho continued playing, dead tao all clso than the fascination of the game, For atime ho won almost con- | atantly, until he had a sories of stacks of chips of various colors rauked tip be- fore kim, onough, had he converted them into cash, to havo képt him many weeks and: mado him. independent of the boss. But by this time he was playing for a Lortanc. 'Mr: Cofforty caras over once, looked at him without attracting his notice nnd walked away,, smiling. 1. After awhile his luols seemed to have ron itsolf out,\\ as gamblers say, and a season. of intormitted il} fortuno set in. All hig winnings wore speodily swept away, Anal noto, had gone \into the box,\\ and ho had loft baroly enough small «colug to got him a. breakfast, 'When he - father half a century ago, the one heir- 'but nevertheless of considerable value, ; that was all he proposed to risk on the | mental torpidity, in which somehow he at longth all, oven the orig- | went out to the street, he thought he had been gaming but a little time-for the sun was.still up-~and wondered that he felt so weary and feverish. But scon he noticed how the shadows fell and realized that the sun now shining was that of another day. He had stuck to the roulette table all night. Hungry and tired, he went to a cheap restaurant for his breakfast, and while it was being prepared glanced over a morning paper. Like every one who has ever dabbled, oven a little, in Wall street speculation, he turned to the 'financial\ column. The \bully he read, were rallying from their long pe- riod of depression and the market was again active.. The very stock in which he had lost everything was leading the van in the upward movement. Could he have held on to the amount of it he con- trolled at one time, he would be already a comparatively rich mim, and in a good way for soon becoming one really. A savage longing to be revenged upon fate by retrieval of his losses in the very stock that had caused them seized him. If he'could only have a few dollars with which to operate now-half even of the pile of winnings he possessed at one timo last night-he could clutch fortune by the throat and master her. But they were gone, nnd where else could he now got a fow dollars? Even the last little souvenirs of his mother that the pawn- broker would take were gone. And the more he thought of it the more he felt i conviction that fortune was sure to smile upon him if he had only a little capital with which to woo her. At last, from the heart of his intense desire, the lurid light of an evil sugges- tion flashed out upon him, one that, when he at first repelled it, returned to assail him with redoubled intensity. His friend, John Latham, treasured in a leathern case in his room a huge silver flagon, a racing trophy won by his loom of his family and cherished by him almost as the apple of his eye,. It was i thing of no practical \utility and its associations made him very proud of it, If, Chester thought, he could only borrow that flagon and pawn itfora fow hours, just to get a stake for the table, he would. be able to redeem it, restore it to its place with- out John being any the wiser and with |- the surplus of his winnings could make another dash into Wall street and con- quer fortune. Nothing could be sim- pler, fow things more certain. He did not at once give way to the temptation. Not until afternoon had he fully made up his mind to yicld. to it. But having done so he was impatient to act. , That was the purpose he had in view when he entered John's room after Ad- die Hall's departure, and At was to await Lottie's leaving him there alone within reach of John's silver flagon that he seated himself at the window. . CHAPTER Xv. The pawnbroker looked askance at the big chunk of silver, scanned. sus- piciously the inscription it bore, and after'a good deal of deliberation said he would advance $25 on it, He admitted that it was. intrinsically worth ten times that sim and perhaps more, but chances of its beiug recluimed by the police, Chester burned with indignation, but did not dare to resent the fellow's in- sults, for'ib was quite true that he had ro right to dispose of the property and --he wanféd tho money. 'With fhe small sumy thus obtained at such a saq- rifice of honor and self respect, ho al- most ran to Mr. Cofferty's gaming ta ble. Within an hourhs saw he dealer's long, snaky fingers close upon the ivory disk representing the last dollar of the twenty-five and with easy, graceful in- difference slide it upon a pile of its fellows at his side, - 'The young man walked slowly out, down the stairs and away, feeling stun- ned and moving in a dazed, uncertain way, like one walking in a dream. The blow seemed to have induced a sort of recognized that he was an ungrateful, destitute, hopelessly dishonored thief, and yet even that thought could not sting: him into wakefulness and mad: ness, It slipped away from him. An electric light a long way before him fascinated his sight, and he walked on and on towiird it mechanically, with- out purpose, thinking of nothing. Out . of a saloon door,. suddenly opened as he passed, came n burst of coarse music, and the strain he caught of it clung in his dull brain, repeating itself monoto- nously, making him unconsciously time his steps to. it. It was finally dispelled by the vehement profanity of a cab driver in front of whose horse he de- liberately walked at a crossing. He heard the man's lurid remarks, but went on without answering, changing his gait or looking back like an automaton. - After a timo hoe noticed a bench and , sat down upon it, as if his muscles had remembered that they were weary. A man in a gray uniform chme out of the shadow of a clump.of evergreons a few feet away from him and stood in the middle of the road, regarding him sus- piciously. Partially recalled to himself, he looked about him, recognized that he was in the Seventh avenue entrance of Central park, and, rising, went out tc the street again. Slowly he walked westwardly, A fine, penetrating, cold rain was falling, and gradually asense of phys- ical discomfort forced itself upon his consciousness, at the same time waking w keen mental agony. Since his neces- sarily frugal breakfast he had eaten nothing, and now, in addition to being saturated by the rain, chilled! to the bone and very weary, he was horribly hungry. Worse than all--he was an outcast thicf, © Where ho was ho had no iden further than that he must be somewhere far up town on tho west side, in-a residence section of the city, very lonely and quiet at this hour, particularly on such a < night as this. If ho could find a place where lis might get some food and a cup U of hot coffes, he would not care where ho was. Careful search through his pockets brought to light but one solitary nickel. It would be uscless to find a place for reficshinent without having more moscy thun that. He sat down upon a rock near a street corner, with a growing, sullon indiffcrence to every- thing. - 'The rise of the hill cut off from where he sat a view of the Sisth avenue ele- vated railzoad to the eastward, but he could hear the trains moving on it to and fro. Aftcr he had rested a little he would go over to it, find a station, use his last nickel to get down town and ask somebody for means to get some food. Beg! Ccs, he had come to that. Why not? He was a thief. Could he sink lower? No. He might as well be a beggar-or die. Dic! Well, yes; that, too, might be good-but-later. The figure of a man appeared, com- ing down the little hill toward him, from the direction of the railroad. He would have a chance to try begging without waiting to get down town. He stood up, waited until the man came close, 'and then said in a trembling, choking voice:, ° \Excuse me, sir. Will you spare me the price of a meai? I really need it of I would not ask for it.\ The sidewalk was narrow, owing tc the piles of broken rock heaped up on each side from a great excavation just within the pavement line, so that the two men faced each other, with only a douple of yards of space between them. But the man addressed, after hearing him through, took a step nearer and ex- «claimed : \You have a genius for surprises, Mr. Sewall.\ His fur cap and muffler had con- cealed his identity until he spoke, but his voice and the jeering affectation of courtesy in his tone made Chester recog- nize him at once. It was Mr. Will- marth. The horrified young man stood silent, motionless as a statue. Dealt the scoffing banker a blow. \So this,\ the banker went on mock- ingly as if enjoying the situation, \is the profession upon the profits of which you contemplated matrimony! I had no . idea that the solicitation of eleemosy- nary pennies was so good a resource. You must have become very proficient to make it support so well the social phase of your career. Evidently there is much to be said for mendicancy as a business. Do you think my daughter would be an apt pupil in it under yo instruction?\ ' \Mr. Willmarth,\\ replied Ohester, breathing very hard and speaking with difficulty through jaws that were trying to clench themselves together, \I have been terribly unfortunate, but you have not the right to insult me, and even if you have, you had better refrain from it.\ . h \Insult you! My dear sir, how can you so mistake the expression of my ad- miration for your genius? 'You do not appreciate how you have awakened my interest in your profession. The next time you honor my house with a visit I shall want you to show Irma your ar- tistic style of work. Your 'price of meal' act is charmingly realistic, and with proper accessories, such as & cold victual basket, would, I should imagine, be quite irresistible.\ It seemed to Chester Sewall as if that mocking scorn was an insolent ex- vltation over his accomplished ruin and despair, as if the man before him was the personification of all the cruel an- tagonism with which the world had ret him, as if Richard Willmarth was personally responsible for all the ill that had befallen him. In a sudden ac- cess of blind rage he dealt the scoffing banker a blow so violent that it felled him as if he had been struck by light- ning. The next instant the young man half regretted the act, but only half, for with what there was of regret blended a sullen self justification. «'Why didn't he keep a civil tongue in his head?\ he said to himself. \I gave him fair warning.\ The man laid where he had fallen, very still, and silence as of the grave was all about Even the wind had ceased. An indefinable dread of some- thing sent a tremor through Chester's nerves. He stood waiting, he knew not for what, and held his breath. A por- tion of the clay bank of the excavation behind him, softened by the rain, gave way beneath the weight of rock piled on it and fell with a loud splash into the stagnantpool below. Themist thick- ened into a fog so dense that the street lamp three yards away looked like a lit- tle phosphorescent patch upon the vast white, ghostly obscurity of the night Still the man laid motionless. Ches- ter's dread took definite shape. Quickly stooping over the.prostrate form, he put & hand beneath its shoulders and raised it to a sitting posture. It yielded limp- ly, and, the head falling back as he held it up, he heard the sound of something falling in a slender stream from the hair to a dark puddle on the ground. Simultaneously he felt that the hand with which he supported the shoulders was covered with some fluid warm and slippery. Suddenly conscious of what it was, he uttered an exclamation of hor- ror, lot the body fall back, and, tearing open its coats and vest, placed his hand inside them over the heart. I6 was still. Richard Willmarth was dead. ._ In the very act of making this hideous discovery his hand came in involuntary contact with a wallet in an ingide pock- et of his victim's vest. Acting upon a momentary, desperate impulse, he snatched if out, thrust it into one of his own pockets and, rising erect, fled swiftly. He fancied that something he could | mot see nor hear ran noisclessly at his (To be Continued.) PORTLAND--JAPAN LINE. HEAD OF A WEALTHY JAPANESE SYNDICATE IN OREGON. San Francisco, June 6.-S. Asam, of Tokio, who is at the head or a Japanese syndicate with $5,000,000 capital to start a line of steamers between the principal ports of Japan and Portland, arrived here to-day. Under a law lately passed by the Jananese Diet a subsidy is to be 'paid by the Government for all vessels of over 6,000 tons burden. The idea of the company is to have all its vessels of about 9,000 tous. The vessels, therefore, will be of enormous size. Mr. Asam is here to see what terms American shipbuilders can offer on building the vessels. Tlie subsidies guaranteed by the Japanese Govern- ment will go far toward footing the cost of the vessels. Mr. Asam is very friend- ly to Americans and thinks his ships ouglit to be built here. The idea of the new syndicate is to do a very large business and cut the freight and passenger rates to a low point. C . They have in view the furnishing of a passenger rate as low as $9 between Japan'and the coast. - $100,000 Fire in Erie. Erie, Pa., June 6.-The Anchor line and Western Transportation Company suffered a hundred thousand dollar fire here at an early hour this morning. The fire broke out in one of the big warehouses and when discovered was entirely beyond control. The flames spread to and destroyed the Anchor lines ice house containing several thou- sand tons, and it was only by the great- est effort that the big flour house with its large stock of flour was saved from entire destruction, The loss on that building from smoke- and water is large. A thunder shower came tothe firemen's assistance and the fire was confined to the buildings named . An Engineer Killed. Elkhart, Ind., June 6.-Stephen Rus- seall, a Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern engineer, was killed in the com- pany's yard here last evening. He was crossing the track on his way to his engine when lie was struck by an in- coming limited passenger train. The deceased was a member of the world's champion rowing crew of Monros City, Mich. B A Fast Mile Paced. Lexington, Ky., June 6.-The fastest mile ever paced by a two-year-old this early in the season was that covered by Bell Rover, bay colt by Bow Bells, dam Conviction, full sister of Acolyte, over the Lexington track yesterday in 2:19%. He was trained and driven by Joe Thayer, and belongs to J. S. Roberts of Pensacola, Fla. Four Bandits Shot, Durango, Mex., June 6.-Four bandits who a few weeks ago attacked and rob- bed a mule train loaded with bullion, which was on its way to this city from Rosales mining camp, have been capt= ured and shot. The brigands were led by Joss Ramos. All of the bullion was recovered. \A Sure T hingi’ That's what we are all after-Many the one that will find in these words what they have looked for. Do you know what it is to have a back that is never free from aches and constant pain-a lame back, a sore back, an aching back, in fact, a back that makes your life aburden? What have you done for it? And does it still keep you from the hap- iness that health brings to all? We now full well if such is your condition 'you are looking for \a sure thing,\ something that will relieve the pain, re- move the cause and restore the system to the condition designed by nature. Perhaps the following statement may assist you to finding this \ sure thing.\ It comes from a citizen of Niagara Falls; a well known man at \ the Falls\ is Mr. Hugh Suckey, who resides at 309 Sixth street, He makes the following state- ment, trusting that his fellowmen may profit by his experience, he says: \I havelhad a kidney affection on and off now for about a year; itresulted from an at- tack of plenrisy and la grippe; it affected me in a pain across the small of my back, mine is the oid story; when I stooped down I felt stiff, and it pained me very much to straighten up; this bothered me greatly at work, the urine produced a smarting feeling in passage and was of a wost unpatural color. Some time ago I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and got a box at Cyrus O'Laughlin's drug store. -I have used them and as a result i suffer no more. The back- ache is all gone, and the urination is correct once more.

PORTER, EX-SUPERINTENDENT-OF CEN- §US, JUST RETURNED FROM JAPAN-THEY ARE HUSTLERS. AND YANKEES MUST BE ON THE ALERT. 2C San Francisco, June 6.-Robert P. Porter, ex-Superintendent of Census re- turned from Japan on the steamer Peru to-day. Mr. Porter's trip tothe Em- pire of the Mikado was for the purpose of investigating the industrial condi- tions of that country with regard to the effect of Japanese competition upon American prosperity, being a continua- tion of the trips he has made to various countries in the study of labor problems and tariff systems. After investigating actual conditions in Japan, he deems the question of Japanese competition |. one of the momentous problems that the American nation will have to solve but he thinks its danger Hes, not so much in present competition in the un- developed state of Japanese resources, as in the enormous rapidity of the growth of the Japanese output in all lines of manufacture which they enter. \The whole Japanese trade,\ said Mr. Porter, \including bullion and every- thing, ten years ago amounted to $78,- 000,000. Last year it had increased to $300,000,000. The exports of textiles alone have increased from $511,000 to $23,000,000 in ten years.\ - ENGLISHMEN AND AMERICA. MANY WHO HAVE BEEN. WARM FRIENDS OF THIS COUNTRY. , The fact is that the English public men who have understood America, or who have seemed to care to under- stand her, have at least until recently, always rfepresentea a small n«nority. During the first century of our national life scarcely an Englishman of emi- nence was clear-sighted enough to per- ceive' America's real devotion to great ideals. Our British kinsmen thought us a horde of Gradgrinds and nothing else; whereas, in spite of: a seeming absorption in' material things, the na- tional life was grappling with mighty ethical and political ideas, which the selfishness aud irresponsibility of poli- ticians might sometimes distort, but coud never stifle. Leigh Hunt, as Lo- well used to remind us, could never think of America without séeing in im- agination a gigantic counter stretched all along our seaboard; and we bore Hunt's ridicule with a- complacency that was the more cheerful because his caliber and. weight of | metal were searcely enough to do much execution over sea. Carlyle sneered; we remem- bered his dyspepsia, and forgave. Rus- kin emptied the vials of his eloquent contempt upon our sacrifice to Ameri- ca's freedom and integrity; we abated no jot or tittle of our veneration for his~ prophet's message, while we strove to make just allowance for the vagaries of the hyperesthetic temperament. These things it was easy to condone. .... 'The Englishmen who have under- stood American life have judged it by something besides the froth of the ir- responsible press and the antics of pro- vincial \statesmen.\ Cobden's fatal exposure of his life to do us service, and John Bright's brave words in the hour of our distress, can never be for- gotten. 'The. memory of Thomas Hughes-alas! that we must write \memory\ now-will always remain a rich and fragrant legacy, to which, in a peculiar sense, we are cohbeirs with Englishmen; while the work of -Mr. Bryce has not only won our respect and gratitude, but is bound to leave deep impress on our life. None of these men was blind to the evident foibles, defects, and crudities of the strenuous life of an earnest and virile people. On the other hand, none invited distrust by silly attempts to fatter or cajole. But. were gick to recognize in Am- erican - aspiration, achievement, and representative | character | something other and better thin mere bigness. They even ventured now and then to speak of these things as great; but the word sits better on their lips than on ours-From \A Duty of Englishmen to America,\ in June Century. SMALLER SLEEVES.. v By beautifully graduated degrees the voluminous character of woman's dress is losing its aggressive expansion, and lines of beauty and grace which for the past few seasons have: been ruthlessly ignored are once more recognized; so artfully have these modifications been introduced, however, that it is only by comparison with what has beén that we. realize the change already wrought. Seldom are monstrous balloon sleeves stiffened to insolent unyieldingness; and by gentle reefs, here and there, woman is returning to something at least approaching her natural propor- tions. * ' As they have become smaller sleeves have increased in intricacy of construc- tion, and the most ultra novelties defy 'both imitation and description; eccen- tric puffs crop out at the elbows and the tops of the sleeves where the fullness is manipulated most dexterously in over- lapping, flower-like folds. The conser- vative sleeve is a modified gigot or the mandolin, with the fullness drooping somewhat toward th elbow ,and with no more stiffening than that given by a taffeta lining. The lower parts fit more closely than heretofore, and often with thin fabrics and silks the stuff is swath- ed about the arm in slight fullness like the wrinkles of a mousquetaire glove. Frequently the sleeves of dressy gowns are fitted above the elbow, and the puff , is confined to the extreme top. 'There is a great fancy for extreme length in sleeves, which often extend in turrets and points quite over the hands,. being filled out with very full ruffles of soft lace. All these novelties, however, are confined to dress gowns. The bishop t sleeves, also quite the favorite this summer, for blouses and for matinees or tea-gowns, should not be used for a tailor-gown or for a coat of any sort. This caution is given because some .| otherwise pretty gowns haye been ruined by its. use-From \Review of Fashion,\ in Dmorest's Magazine: for June. Solas \ « BENT.
