BY NIARGUERITE STABLER. ' I Lambert, of the Original Oil oligarchy, tucked his telegram into his breast pooket with a loving little pat. This was the moment hotted been working and living for all these months. " Veterinary daffodil jinks," it read, and, translated by hie pri- vete cipher oode, it meant he was to go ahead, buy the whole tract and draw on the company for the first payment. The burning August sun beat relentlessly upon his unaccustomed head, bin collar took on the hue of the road, hie face was blister- ed and his eyeballs scorched by the heat, but so absorbed was be in the schemes that unrolled themselves -before him that he for- got to fume because of his discomfort. He chuckled gleefully to himself notwithetand- ing the act involved , the breathing of a mouthful of Kern county dust, for this was the climax he had almost despaired of reaohing. Although he had never for a moment lost faith in the riohnese of thie little strip of foothill country, the company had never until now been willing to raise the money for the first payment and the erection of the- Works necessary for ite development, and he had come to realize that of a- verity "faith withoet works is dead." His oomyany was not rich ; Lambert, its heaviest stoolcholder, was worse than poor, being heels over head in debt. There were plenty of people he did not dare to meet be- cause of overdue notes, several °rube .he could not go near on account of delinquent dues and numberless underbred tradesmen who made his life a burden, But in the success of this deal he save the end of all his troubles. The loungerehround tho little hotel eyed him curiously as he drove up and followed at his heels as ho made his way iuto the office, for such turnout was not often seen in that part of the country. • Lambert puehed his way through the crowd without seeing them and drank champagne to his risine.fortunes as the um:looted beer trickled down his dusty throat. The name of John. son, of the Mammoth Mineral Monopoly, on the register made him open his eyes a trifle wider. Of course there was no reason why Johnson ehoulct not be there if he chose, but -there was a coolness between the members of the two companies, especially between JOhnson and,himself. - The county records showed the title of the land to be vested in one Antoniaehlaria Lopez, so early the nexe morningLembert started off to find her.- But once out ou the county roads, in the wastes of brown stUbble fields, the directione he had received at the hotel became confined. No one seemed to know anything definite about the distance, and it had been variously estimated at from " 'bout fifteen mile to twenty." After fol. lowing for several houre a road that seemed to have no turning he looked abput 'for some one of whom he might inquire the way, and the first sign of life that came in eight was the figure of ts woman- w,alking to- ward him. But when he was almost near enough to address her she stopped, drew her sunbonnet over her eyes, tucked her skirts into one hand and scaled the four railed fence as neatly as a boy might have done. Then, looking over her shouleter to- ward the dust cloud down the road, she slipped behind a boulder and waited for the wheels to peso. As the dust enveloped hex in a blinding cloud the smart trap was brought up short with a clanking of chains and silver mountings. " Could you tell me whether or not this is the road to the Lepez place ?" Lambert asked. • • The sunbonnet jerked forword in an af- firmative nod see • s Then perhape you will be so good as to direct me to it," Lembert coneinued. " Yep," answered the girl. " It's right here." A pause followed, while the man in the cart looked over the gill's head- at the abomination of desolation epitomized in the proepeet before him—the tumbled down fences, the unpainted, half finished house, the:rickety ousbuildinge—then at the for- lorn little figure beside the boulder, His eyes sought hers for further information, but the bonnet had closed down over her features like the shell of an oyster. " Then, perhaps, you are Miss Leprz," he ventured to remark, " the heirese of this estate ?" "Nope," returned tleS bonnet, " Prn Tony Lopez.- My folks are dead, and this here ranch won't be mine till Pm of age ; that's all." It was -evident, Lambert. told himself as he followed the girl to the house, that the purchase would be an easy matter, for she ce,taioly had no idea of the value of her actawny acres. Lambert's reputation was that he had " wey with women," what, ever that may mean, but certain it is that when his grey eyes looked straight out from their black la.shes the object the rested upon, provided it was of the feminine gender felt hersey for the moment the center of the universe and inany a 'wiser girl than Tony might tell you so, Perhaps that was the the reason she etammered and blushed, 'slipping her eliinela on and off at the heel in einbarrassment, when he said, " Have you ever thought of selling your property, Miss Lopez ?" Miss"Lapez, to hie surprise, he found non- committal to the last degree. All hie croes questioning elicitad nothing more': than a laconic Nope." Then Lambert deliber- ately trained his 'gray eyes upon her and smiled down into her little freckled face, with the result that she told him the whole Story. "'Ye gods !" he ejaculated inwardly as she explained that Johnson, of the Mam- moth Mineral Monopoly, had made her an offer at a figure that the Original Oil .oli- garchy could never touch, much less outbid. So this was not his own exclusive scheme, after all ! The new debts he had incurred on the strength of his prospects arose before him as he etared blankly at the wall. Johnt;e 80132s company was rich, backed , by sub- stantial businees men, while his was worse than poor, its heaviest stockholder a miser4 'able ependthrift, up to his ears in debt, hi own hope now shattered by Johnson's riv.' airy. , Jehnson's eagerness to get the land was only another proof of its value. He must heve it, he simply had to have it; he was s.13 ing to himself, vrhile Tony, her tongue once loosened, bubbled on, telling hitn thc terms of Johnaon's proposition and ending by saying he had pledged her to secrecy as to hie part in it. Lambert Smoked long and furiously that night over this new priase cf his difficuleies, and as the smoke wreathe.grew denser they evolved the vision of a rosy girl, with laugh- ing eyes, who had promised to share hia fortunes, however great they might be. Tony's little freckled face, he remembered, always beamed with pleasure from tbe If you are lean—tmless you are lean by nature—you need more fat.

Still, Tony was a good little thing ; she waa slim and straight, and if she could be induced not to tog herself out in such outlandish colors she might be almost pretty, he mused. Then he stopped short and le ughed at himself derisively. What could it matter to him whether she was pretty or not ? Tony was waiting for him the next time his trap clattered doWn the dusty road. She had that confiding manner that ie so flattering to a man who knows the weakness of his strength. Johnson, she told him, had raised his offer for the whole tract, several thousand rocky unproductive acres. Lambert groaned. He had to have it ; there was no choice. 'So, with the figure of Johnson's offer staring him in the face, the praspect of bankruptcy pursuing him from behind and the only means of obtaining the prospective millions walking close -be- side himablue eyes were forgotten, and he did it. _s It was quickly said. Then he kissed her blushing cheeke, and the coveted land was his—and Tony. He had discretly refrained from saying anything more about her pro- perty after hearing Johnson'e offer, so ehe did not know he cared anything about it, arid there was not a doubt as to his sincerity in, her Pimple little heart, 'Johnson was the first man Lambert, met when he went back to the hotel, He made a strained effort to be affable, and Lambert, who could afford now to be generous, pitied him for the disappointment in store for him and tried ta outdo him in forced friend - Hines. They walked up to the bar like two old friends, and Lambert proposed a toast to " succese." Each man drank deep to himself, eyeing the other commiseratingly for the shock he was about to receive. Tony was undeniably a good little thing, although Lambert regarded her merely as hie means of escape from insolvency, and his only feelingfor her was a vague sort of gratitude. She loved" him- by the abject devotion she laviehed upon him. Once, however, it had really touched hins, when she said : "For you there is nothing in the world I would not gladly saerrifice.' Lambert's success went to his head and made him long'to throw his arms around tho neck of the whole world and treat. He spent money with a princely laviehness, and Johnson came in for all his share. And Tony, too, nee happy. She went about with a suppressed mirthfulness in her eyes, as if she had a secret source of happiness nobody but herself knew—which, indeed, was the case. And ea they were Merried. The little bride was decked not in shimmering white, but i all the gaudy colors her primitive soul loved—a gorgeous yellow gown with varie ated fur below and red slippers.

But Tony, the glow of pride still in her heart from the conscious bummer ot her weddi g gown;looked up and answered sweetly : " D'd I not tell you there was no sacri- file° hat I would not gladly make for you ?' "• hat ?" cried Lembert. " What are you s ging ?" " I could not think of letting you be asham d of my clothes among all your fine friend , no I have made a surprise for you."

Mirotto, in Scribner's, every stick of furniture is rubbed and wipped carefully and taken out of the house. Then the women, with their skirts tuoked up, entire- ly flood the tioome with bucket after buck et of water, brought up from the canal by means of the shoulder yoke. With broom and brush they souse and scrub the red -tiled floor and finally: pull up a plug in one corner to let the water flow out—let us bope into the canal. While the floor is drying a great polish- ing goes ou in the street. Quaint old brass lamps and candlesticks, tobacco boxes and ash trays' huge milk cans—all are burnished until, like golden mirrors, they reflect the red-theeked, white -capped faces bent over theTmhe. lacquer man is busy on Saturday. He goes from house to house painting the bread -trays and honey -cake boxes with de- signs of gaudy birds and wondrous leaves and flowers. The street is in a turmoil until noon, when order is partially restored and the scanty mid-day meal pertaken of. In the afternoon washing is resumed. The ,exter- lora of the cottages are scrubbed from roof to pavement, and every trace of mold re- moved, for in ,this low, wet air. the green moss gathers qnickly. Then the brick pavements are drenched and carefully dried, and I have seen the women slip off their sabots and tiptoe to their doorways in their woollen chaussons, so as not to soil the im- neaoulate sidewalk. Lastly, toward evening, the entire village goes to the canal, and --all the sabots are washed and whitened .with pumicestone, spotless for the morrow. On Saturday evening all the pickets of the low back fences are decorated with nows of dripping footgear, carefully graduated in size from the big wooden sabots of the father down to the tiny sabots of the youngest born. • Depressed and Discouraged. It is remarkable how thoroughly the whole system is thrown out of order when the nerves become weak and exhausted, All energy and ambition seems to disappear, the mind wanders, memory fails and des- pondency reigns supreme. Dr. Chase's Nerve Foc d puts new vim and energy into the brain, nerves and body, builds up the system ;and prevents paralysis, prostration and insanity. • TOG Kind -Hearted. There is one young woman_ living at L'Ause, Michigan, whose benevolent dis- position received a severe shock last Sun- day evening. She was at church, and sat directly behind a well-dressed stranger, with a ravelling hanging to his collar. Being one of those generous hearted, whole-souled girls, who grow up to be motherly old ladies, a friend to everybody in town, she thought how glad she would be if some kind- hearted girl would lo as much for her father were he to go to church with a ravelling hanging down his back, so when the audi- ence rose for the first hymn, she concluded to pick it off. Carefully raising her -hand she gave a little twitch, but it was longer than she supposed, and a foot or more rep - peered. Setting her teeth, she gave a ter- rible pull, and about a yard of that horrible thread hung down his back. This was get- ting embarrassing, but, determinedo she gave it another yank, and discovered that she was unravelling his undershirt. Her discomfiture was so painful that chloroform would not have alleviated her sufferinge, nor a pint of, powder hidden her blushes, when the man turned with an inquiring look.to see what was tickling his neck.

Some 50 or 60 years since there stood in a picturesque corner of Morayshire, Scot - 'land, a little parish schoolhouse in which the °silents of the countryside received a more or lees profound schooling in the three R's. Not far removed from the school- house, among clump of scrub trees, nestled the Free church, from the pulpit of which the Rev. Alex. McWatt weekly exhorted his flock to beware of the world's frivolities ; unnecessary advice, one would say, since Morayshire half a century ago, knew no more excitieg diversion than a bit of kirk. yard goesip. A SCHOOLBOY BATTLE, One bright day in the spring three sturdy lads emerged from the schoolhouse and be- gan a solemn march towards the outskirts of the village. Without uttering a word they passed swiftly down a lane, climbed the stile where it terminated, and entered a meadow. Halting by common consent in a secluded shady corner, two of the lade carefully,divested themselves of their jack- ets and began. to pummel one another with ferocious energy. The third lay on the soft turf and enjoyed the sanguinary conflict as only a boy can. The delighted spectator was Donald Smith ; now they call him Lord Stratheona. The combatants were Archi. bald Forbes, afterwards the father of war correspondents, and Robert Maconachie, now Grand Trunk watchman at the Gordon street crossing in Guelph, Ontario.

Woaeoseown, Que., Aug. 19, (Special).— Romain Boulanger, Secretary -Treasurer of this town, is a etrong upholder of Dodd's Kidney Pills. He has used them both for himself and other members of his family,and he knows whereof he speake. This is what he says : I procured six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pitlinin January last. Of this number I sent two boxes to my brother, which have given him perfect satisfaetion. " As for me I have used a box and a half, which has given me immediate relief If Dodd's Kidney Pills always repeat my own experience, it would be well and prudent for each family to keep them in the house in case of sickness. " I will always -be thankful for the great service Dodd'e Kidney Pills rendered me." Kitch by Soldiers. A M1111 who recently arrived from South Africa s iye that Kitchener is liked and trusted by his common soldiers, and tells, in the Boston Herald, this story, illustrat- ing his manner with them. " We were on the march from Elands- fontein to Stromberg, ancl had been pushing forward with unusual speed, and Joe Hawk- ins, who had just dome out of the hospital after a touch of the fever, had been assigned by our good old sergeant -major to drive a cape cart, carrying supplies, in order spare him as much as possible from the hot sun. The horses were green and didn't go well in harness, and, as they came in front of a farmhouse, nne of them started kicking and succeeded in breaking the whit -Mitre°. " Joe at once made a break for the barn back of the farmhouse, and, spying a new cape cart, grabbed a wrench and proceeded to ta.ke off the stihifiletree, when he was ap- proached by a quiet. stern -looking man in khaki, whom he did not remember ev'er having seen before, and who said : " I'm sorry, my boy, but I have just commandeered that cart. You will have to fin:z1, .aNnoottherm.'ucb,, replied Joe ; findin's keepin' in this country. I needed a new whifiletree—I found one and I'm goin' to keep it,' " But,'—commenced the man. " There's no " buts " about it,' said Joe ; if you want this cart, you've got to whip me before you get it.' " Well,' replied the man, perhaps I could help you repair your cart without destroying this' one.' " Joe, who was eaturally a good-natured chap, consented to this arrangement, and, after rummsging about for a few minutes, the man produced a stick which would answer the purpose fairly well. He held it in place while Joe tied it firmly, and, seeing that everything was all right, returned quietly to the house, after bidding Joe a pleasant good -day. " ' Do you know who you were talking with ?' inquired it young officer, stepping up to the cart as Joe was preparing to drive off. That was Lord Kitchener, of Khar- toum 1' " And I've been glad all day I didn't have to lick him,' concluded Joe, as he told the story in camp that night, heatiuse he's a pretty good fellow.'

From a small start the busi. nese grew until SleMenamin employed sev- eral hundred fiehermen and packers, and although his plant was of insignificant ap- pearance it covered 8, large area, and was never big eeough to enable him to supply the demand.

" You jnet get me the cord and a picture hook," he said to his wife, " and tell the servant girl to run down cellar and bring up the step -ladder and carry it into the parlor ; and where's those two little screw thing -ma -jigs that go into the back of the frame at the sides, to put the cord through ?

From 44 L'Avenir du Nord,' St Jerome, - Quebec. Sufferers from dyspepsia or bad digestion are numerous in this country. Almost daily one hears some one complaining of the tee - tures caused them by this malady, and it is. no uncommon thing to hear a sufferer say e " I wish was dead." And, no wiander, the suffering caused by bad digestion cannot. be imagined by anyone who has not suffered from it. The victim is a constarat sufferer. from headachee, heart burn, heart palpila- tion, and nausea. He hal a had taste in. his mouth, is unable to obtain restful sleep, and has always a -feeling of weariness and depression. But there is a, sure cure for tide, trouble, and it is found in the greatest of. all knownahedicines—" Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." Among those who haoe been cured of this, distressing malady by Dr. Williams' Pink_ Pills is Mr. Alfred •Chasbot, a well-knowie farmer living near St. Jerome, Quebec. To a reporter of " L'Avenir du Nord,'" Mee Chasbot told the following story of his ill- ness and subsequent curt For three years I was an almost continual tearer from the tortures of bad digestion. After eating I felt as if some heavy weight was presaing against my chest. I was racked with violent headaches ; niy temper became irritable, my appetite uucertain ; my nerves, were a wreck, snd I was always troubled. with a feeling of sveariness. I was able to do very little work and sometimes none at all. Although I tried many remedies I war, unsuccessful in my search fora cure until a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Any doubts I may- have hada to the merits of these pills were soon divelled, for I had not been taking them long before I noticed an improvement in my condition. continued the use of the pills some weeks when I considered myself fully cured. To- day I am as well as ever I was in my life, and would strongly advise all similar suffer -- ere to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I am sure that they will find them am benefic- ial as I have.

The following story was evidently not told to illustrate ministerial dignity ; but as au amusing anecdote of a great man who loved children, and shared their fun, it could; hardly remain untold. - Dr. E. K. Cressey, of Brooklyn Hills, L, I., says that one day, when he was a small boy, his mother left the house, cautioning him and his brother to be quiet and not romp while she was gone. There was a hair -brash with which Mrs- Cressey was wont to punish violations of the domestic statutes when any such eta curred, and the youngsters promised to be good. Presently Mr. Beecher arrived to make a call upon the Creases% and founds°. one to receive him but -demure-looking boys. A flash of anticipation came into his eyes as he joyously told his young hosts to prepare for the romp of their lives. " But mamma told us we mustn't romp," protested the future doctor of philosophy. " I'll take all the responsibility," replied the great preacher. When Mrs. Cressey neared the home en her return she heard indications of a small riot Filled vrith indignation at this un- heard of rishellion in her little republic, she rushed into the house, with words of rebuke trembling on her tongue. At the door she paused petrified. Henry Ward Beechrr was fhit on his back on the floor' with a parcel of young Indians amp, ently dancing a ghost donee on his pros- trate form and emitting shrill yells. The spirit of the avenger immediately froze into silent consternation all the rebels except the arch insurgent. Climbing to his feet, the unabashed elergyman said : " Mrs. Crosses', I promised my trienda here to take ail the responsibility for this outbreak, and " (there he reached the, hair- brush and presented it to her with a Ches. terfielding bow) 44 I arit ready to take what- ever is due them. You may begin at once.' But for once there was an infraction et the laws in the Cressey household that wale unpunished. Mr. Beecher went unspankeda A Raised Cheque Case. The dispute raised last year between two Toronto banks over a raised cheque ' drawn on aud paid by one of them has been settled by the bank, on which the cheque was drawn, being condemned to bear the lost. The cheque was raised by an artful schemer' from $5 to $500, after being exempted for the original and smaller sum. . Payment of ilia cheque was secured from shother bauk than the one it was drawn upon, and then paid, by the drawee bank before discovery of tha fraud. It was claimed that the lou ought to fall upon the bank which first cashed the cheque after it was raised from $5 to POO, and not upon the bank on which the cheque was drawn, The court finally decided ebet the bank which cashed the cheque did to in - the ordinary couree of busittese, and that ite had no reason to suspect fraud or had anY special rneans of testing whether the cheque was bona fide beyond the acceptance mark of the bank on which it was drawn, thin mark being universally regard as a guerane tee of the eneque being good for its fade value. Were all cheques, after being to ac.- cepted, required to be tested before being received on deposit by another blink, the bueiness of the brinks would be serionelY obetructed ; in fact, such a rule is impractic- able. The fraud was sok very' ingenionely planned and executed that no blame attache* -to the teller who paid the theque, The' affair was a misfottune pure and simplei such as all banks ate liable to -suffer from, and the judgment tis based on precedents which imposed tin'? loss, not on the batik which received the cheque for the faired amount in the courtz.;:.1 of business, but on the bank on whick thel instrument was drawn, and by which it hail been accepted befste- the fraud of raising it wise perpetrated. • .
