"Go, I saw, Don't atop to reason with

Good-bye."
And the proud, noble son of Ralph
Courtney went out from the old home, out
from the presence of his angry fs.ther, out
into the werld to begin the greet beetle of
life on his own responsibility. Perhaps it
was an *Irwin thing to do, but thousends
of °there kayo done the same thing, and
Lencey tteirtney did net stop to reason out
the fut 11 results of his actions, but pro.
ceeded a 4ce to the home of the Mertens
and Metre temed Jane to consent team iin•
mediatu ricion. At first she was averse to
the proposition, believing it best to wait
and hoping that time might soften the
heart of Lencey's father so that at last they
could marry with hie consent and blessing.
But when she knew than the old gentleman
had denounced her and called her hard and
undeserved names, her womanly pride got
the better of her judgment and the con-
sented to Lancey's proposition, and in less
than two hours frorn the time our story
opens she was Lancey Courtney's wile.
All night the elder Courtney fumed and
stormed. He was mad tbat a son of his
should fan in love with the daughter of a
man who was guilty of the heinous crime
of being poor. He was doably mad that
that same son thould have the audacity to
etatiditieewerd bus wiehee in the matter. That

The none day, es Timmy wetin bis office

from them, an old man entered, and, tot-
tering to e seat, retinae for a few naomente

Lenny, who had watched hire intentlyesaw
when he raised bis face that tears had been
falling from his eyes.
"1 have come,' he said, "to get you to
help my son out of the detains of the
law. He has been arrested and charged
with murder, but he is innocent. He is
a noble boy, awl God knows he would
never, never commit such a deed, but
the evidence is against him and I am
poor and the lawyers will not help him,"
Satisfying himself of the innocence of the
old man's son, Laucey ' entered into the
case with his whole soul. He expected n
fee, but for the love of justice and to SAVO
the life of an inuocent man ho determined
to exert himself to his utmost in behalf of
the prisoner. He studied the came in all

were surprised and astonished at the skill
he displayed in handling witnesses and the
readinees with which he showed up tbe
poiots of law. But when it came his time
to address the jury he unfolded his mind in
so strong and clear a manner that people
• began to doubt if it was really Lancey
Courtuey to whoni they were listening. As
he advanced further into his argument his
language became more and more im-
ps.seioned. It seemed than his soul was
thrown open and he epoke as ono inspired.
Not a whisper was heard in the
court -room ; not a 'stir anywhere' no one
moved. The jurors liateired andfor two
hours the twelve sturdy men hardly
moved a muck or batted an eye. Every
eve was riveted on the Ppeaker—every ear
Was strained to catch his words. His tall
form seemed to rise up higher and higher as
he proceeded with his great speech. His
i
face looked as though t was not of this
earth, and everyone knew and felt that the
man was inspired. He dretv tears from
hundreds of eyes, and when he closed his
impassioned appeal the spectators arose as
one man and cheered and shouted, regard -
lent of the efforts of the court to prevent
any demonstration. Larrey won his ease
and his future was assured and his fortune
tirade.
The prisoner and his father made every
effort to show their appreciation of Latency's
services, but no words no action seemed
adeo uate to the timed They were happy,
but -their happiness was not, greater than
his. Though he received no fee, that cheer
from the spectators was reward enough for
his efforts. • '
Ten more years passed away—years full
of happiness and content to Lancey and

eow nearing the aloe° of a term of two
years in the State prison at Salem, Oregon.
In the requisition Geoghegan will be
changed with a minor crime, but the real
objeet of bringing himbank to Chicago is to
establish his identity as the man who
butchered Dr. Cronin. Geoghegan is well
known to the Chicago pollee. He lived
initny year in this city, and made a record
as a dangerous and deoperate criminaL
He was an sesooione of "Major "

Cronin for a coneideration. Sampson weak-

now claimed that the same parties made the
risme proposition to Geoghegan, who gladly
accepted their offer and murdered Dr.
Cronin in the Carlson aottage. The name
of Geoghegan was whispered about at the

intended to drive his son sevay, but on
hoped to leach him a lesson and frighten

But Lsneey wars gone. The next morning
after his reel ris.ge he and his bride took the
early train few the West. With but little
of the world's goods they bad gone forth,
nand in bond, to labor for loven Fake. The
contest was bitter, and often, very often,
unessen. Sometimes hope sank dowo below
the horizon of their live, and for days the
nunlight of happiness vrae obscured by the
dark clones of doubt and uncertainty. But
for years the bittler struggle was kept ep.
lancey had studied law, and though bright
and quiele somehow it seemed that people
were stow ro recognize his merits, and for
n long time his ehingle hung, an idle play-
tbing to the winds and the name on it
"became -weatherberiten and dingy. Now
and then he got a smell fee, it is true, bub
they were so few ancl so meagre that very
often the wolf of hunger lingered Mose about
the door of his home.
Two little ones to share in the misery
and stifferi»g of the parents hied been born
to them, and sometimes when Lencey came

the pinceed face of his faithful wife, his
Inert Bank down and he set listlessly with
his head resting in his hands. Oe such
occasions the true and faithful Jena threw
aside her own great burden of care and
devoted herself to an effort to revive the
drooping spirits of her henbane. She often
blamed herself for their suffering, and made
herself believe that she was guilty of some
great wrong in permitting .Lancey to tie
himself down to a life of drudgery and
poverty for love's sake.
They beard and knew of all that was
going On under the roof of Leecey's old
home ; knew that Lance's father had re-
nounced him forever and given orders that
leincey's mime should never more be men-
tioned in his presence. They knew, too,
that Rile% Courtney had given every.
thing, bis home and his laud, to his niece,
Florence Flaven. But they did not com-
plain, only sometimee there would come up
in their heerts a feeling of bitterness.
Six long years had pruned slowly along,
and the tight for bread was as hard as ever.
Sometimes Lanoey almost made up his
mind to write to his father and ask for
assistance, then his self pride would rise up
and assert itself and he would bate himself
for his weekness. Day after day the lines
of care grew deeper on his brow, and a
• adow of eorrow began to spread over his
feature.
"Fate acorns to be against us," he said
one day when his puree was empty and the
larder nearly so. "For years we have kept
up the struggle and we are no nearer the
owl now than in the beginning. I am losing
nonrage and dare not expect anything for
-the better."
" Lancey, what do you mean?" his
patient 'wife said. "It is true.our •lives
eave been overshadowed, but the sun will
Aiwa again. We have to struggle and toil,
it is true, and our living in meagre and
tometimes the future looks black as night,

An Aroused Bear.
In the Parc de la Este d'Or at Lyons a
shoskiug accident has recently occurred. A
party of boys were amusing themselves at
the wages reeerved for the beam, and, after
throwing in some rolls, began pelting the
animalo with stones. The lads were keep-
ingup a tolerably hot fire, when one of
their number picked up some bread which
had been left near the cages by 801219 quieter
vieiter s and presented it to the largest bear.
The beast put its paw through the bars of
the cage, and, seizing the lade drew him
toward it, breaking his leg with a single
bite It then proceeded to devour the limb
as far as the thigh. If the bear could have
succeeded in pulling the boy right into the
cage there is little doubt that it would have
eaten him up, but it could not
eet, him through the bars. The noise
made by the savage . brute as it
crunched the bones was appseling, and the
children all ran away in terror. Their
comrade had fainted. Fortunately two
men, attracted by the screams, rushed to
the spot and succeeded in wresting the boy
at considerable risk to their own lives from
the germ of the bear. The poor lad was
at once removed to the Hotel Dieu, where
the terrible wound which he had sustained
was carefully attended. Horrible to -relate,
as they bore him away from the scene of
the accident, the bear turned its attention
to his foot, which had dropped into the
cage, and devoured it, boot and all. The
hope is entertained that the boy, who is IS
of age may recover ; but the whole

of Lautz Brothers, being the movers thus

from him the interesting details of the un-

Mr. Beinker says that while visiting the

A Timely Suggestion.
Complaint was made to the Tribune this
mornbig that so many nails projected from
the sidewalk in the business part of
Olympia, and especially on the way to the
post office, that shoes were worn out with
great rapidity. This bit of information will
doubtless be relished by the shoe dealers,
but it is quite evident that an indignation
meeting will be held for the purpose of con
-
damning the audacity of the aforesaid nails.
A bright young woman made a pertinent
suggestion touching the eubject

lie had driven his own child a few years
before ; out among stranger& without
money or friends:
But Lencey and Jane in their prosperity
had forgotten their own sufferings, and the
past, with its bitter experiences, was buried
away under the happiness of • the present.
Their hearts were too filled with love, and
their, minds too much occupied with higher
and better thoughte, to harbor feelings of
reaentment. And it was but natural. that
•they should feel a solicitude for the welfare
of the elder Courtney, and when they came
to know that he was turned away from hia
own door by the woman he had takeu to
his bosom as an own child, it was natural
that they should seek to relieve his suffer-
ings and smooth his path to the grave.
Lencey went to his father and, taking
him into bis own home, made his het days
as pleasant as possible. And Jane—the on
account of whom he had driven bis only
child out of iris horine and out of his life—
the administered to his wants with a gentle-
ness and a care that soon won the old man's
heart and made him feel that Lancey, itt
choosing her, had chosen it jewel. And
when he looked on the sweet little woman,
and contraeted her gentleness road patience
and kindness with the cold and haughty
disdain of Florence, he shuddered. "And
yet," he thought, "1 would have tied my
son to that unfeeling creature, and I turned
him away and robbed him of his inheritance
beeause he would not renounce the truest

But to the average sight -seer it will be of
even greater interest to follow the course of
the Niagara River front this Mty, through
the rapids, the pluugi over the Falls, and
then through the whirlpool and the nar-
rows, past Brock's monument and to its
mouth at Niagara-on-tbn-Lake. An idea, of
the topographical outline of the country
an thus be obtained as in no other way.
The plans and specifications call for a
eteel structure 70 feet at the base, 250 feet
high tapering to IS feet at the top. The
frame will be built of four main columns
15 inches square, around whicb the corer-
ing will be placed. A platform eighty-
eight feet in circumference will surround
the top, funnelling room for SO people to
stand without looking over each other's
shoulders. Thie platform will be covered
with a tin roofing. Another lookout point
will be provided at about mid -way up the
tower for thos.0 who fear to ascend to a
altitede.

grave of the discoverer of those straits.
The bones of Bohring and his companions
in misfortune were found buried beneath
a simple cairn of rough stones carelessly
piled. The offieers resolved to replace the
cairn by a more worthy memorial, and on
their return to Vladivostock a collection
was set, on foot among the officers of the
Siberian squadron with the result that a
handsome and durable granite tombstone,
surmounted by an iron cross, bas now been
completed. The memorial will be trans-
ported from Vladivostock and planed over
the lonely grave on Behring Island next
month. Capt. Altus Behring, as is well
known, was a Dane by birth, but was in the
RUSSiaLl naval service when his important
discovery was made in 1728. He died Dec.
4th, 1741 (O. S.), from scurvy, on Behring
Island, where he and his companions had
sought refuge after the foundering of their
ship. —London Daily News.

membership in the association, and in case
of twins they receive $250, while for
three of a kiud they are given $375. This
is an extraordinary application of the
principles of insurance. It is possible that
after a while there .will be insurance
