°CHAPTER XIX, •
Yes, it was the first time that Norine,
the darling of their hearts, the child,vvho
was the aelace of theri old age, had ever
left them in anger. •
•
Quite as soon as the door had closed
upon her, poor'.' oltitag:ra'gdma Gordon
broke into a passion of 'tearriga+l.;arighC•t,
which moved. Did Daniel to the heart's
core,
ere hard. with
the lhasehusband," sheobbed, wroelr<ing herself
to and fro. '''She cannot help loving, no,
one tan help loving the one God sends
• to her to Iove." • •
"It was never God,, it was. the devil
who sent him, Betsey;" exclaimed sthe
old man, rising hastily and pacrnethe'
narrow little kitchen to and'tro. 'You
do not know what you say; your wo-
man's heart has got the better of your
judgment. lie is not a man .worthy of
any pure young girl's love."
"Rush, latish, Daniell" eried his old
wife."You have no warrant to say
anything like that."
"But 1 have!" exclaimed the old black-
smith fiercely. "Every one in the vil-
lage is talking 'about the scamp—how
he gambles and makes love to ,every
pretty lass he meets. Ay, and even the
comely young wives come in for a share
of his admiration. Only to -day 1 heard
this tale, Betsey. 'One of the clerks
the village stores: parted from his young
wife because of htin and hie attentions
to her. The wife openlydeclared her
fr tUaEgggrksome stranger;.
is1Te, -a__n'dd defied her frantic
husband to do anything about it. The
result of the matter was, the distracted
fellow shot himself at her feet.
"The villagers were so incensed over
the matter that they would'llave raised
a mob to rid the place' of this rascally
fellow had it not been for the excite-
.: Inent over the grave difficulty hovering
over the village in the expected swoop-
ing down of the Indians upon Hadley.
Now that 1 have told you the man's
character, do you say, Betsey, that we
should give our beautiful, innocent Nor-
ine to him, even though lie wanted to
marry her? which. I doubt from the
bottom of my soul; for such a man never
know love's refining influence in his
heart, If he is in- love with any one, it
is himself, and no one else."
The poor old wife was fairly stricken
dumb by this intelligence. She knew not
what answer to make.
"I am going to prove this fellow's so-
called love for little Norine for her sat-
isfaction and yours," exclaimed Daniel
Gordon, teaching for his hat and coat.
"What would you do?" cried Betsey,
springing to her feet and laying a de-
taining hand on his arm as she looked
up anxiously into his weather-beaten
faee.
"I am going to se ethis Clifford Car-
lisle within the hour and test for my-
self beyond all question of doubt how
strong and deep .his levels for that in-
nocent girl upstairs."
"But howl" murmured his wife, anx-
iously, eagerly.
"1 am going to see this Oliffrird Car..
truth, unfold to him the secret that we
have kept even from Norine all these
years—that she is Mrs. Barrison's grand-,
daughter, the last and only living rela-
tive the woman has on earth, and.as,
such is entitled to the great fortune
left by the woman. If he is truly in
love with Norine, as the child devoutly
believes him to be, he will relinquish
every penny of that money which was
left to him by her will, giving it to Nor-
ine, the rightful owner. That will be
a crucial test. Yes, that will be the
crucial test. Do you not agree with me,
old wife ?"
"It is hard to weigh love against.
money. Daniel," she responded, her lips
quivering, her wrinkled old hands treat-
biing. •
"It is the greatest test in the world,"
he repeated, adding in a quivering, husky
voice:

Pioneer Coal State.
.According to the investigation of the
United States Geological Survey, Vir-
ginia. was the pioneer coaaptoducing
State. The occurrence of coal wee
kno•syn in the Richmond Basin as early
as 1700, and in 1789 shipments were
made to some of the Northern States.
In 1882, according to C. Taylor, the
production amounted to 48,214 gross
tons. The first coal was taken from
what is usually termed the Richmond
Basile, a small area in the southeaatern
portion of Virginia, near the city of
Riclunond. This basin is situated on.
the eastern margin of the Pledment
Plateau, thirteen miles above tidewater,
on ;Tames River. It "fee in Goochland,
Henrico, Powhatan and Chesterfield
connties. The 0001 beds are much dis-
torted, and the coal is of rather love
grade when compared with that from
other districts with vrhich it has to
come into competition. This coal is now
mined only' for local consumption.
