Upon the breakfast tables of the
town that morning the early papery
had their everyday fold and suffered
the usual indifferent glances? but
with the crisp rattle of the opening
sheets came startled exclamation and
coffee and steak at many tables grew
cold. Neale and Company had failed.
For Nea'.e himself the readers did not
concern themselves; he had many
irons in the tire and the falling of one
was a bagatelle, but “Company” was
a different story. Phil Graham’s till
was vested in that title, and the
town loved Phil. Moreover, the town
had advised him as to the unlucky
venture, so responsibility weighted its
sympathy.
"Something must be done,” said
Maj. Andieson, taking a gulp from
his chilled cup.
“But what?” asked pretty Nell.
Then there was a pause, with a family
of wrinkled brows.
“You see,” said Miss Benton, who
was the major’s ward, “there is noth
ing a man more fastidious about
than the way he is helped.”
The Andersons all looked at her
and then took demurely to their
breakfasts. They had suddenly re
called the fact that this subject was
of more importance to her than to
anyone else except “Company” him
self, and they found comfort in the
thought of her income.
“True,” and the major smiled as he
indorsed her remark, "and the greater
bis need the more pigheaded Phil will
get.”
"So. if I might suggest —” coloring
daintily.
“Yes?” The major bent his hand
some gray head in gracious defer
ence.
“1 should let him alone."
“Oh,” said Nell, aghast, “not even
sympathize?”
“Doesn’t sympathy in such a case
carry a bit of humiliation? As if one
wen not equal to emergencies.”
The major laughed. "Of course,”
he said, “a young lady with three
thousand a year in her own right
knows about the way to fight emer
gencies.”
At this point a note came in for
Miss Benton, which she excused her
self to read. Sire grew white over it.
The Andersons after a furtive glance
api kept their eyes politely to
* ‘es and talked as fast as pos
rreign subjects. All stood
'th breaths of relief. Miss
wed the major to his
used the door after her.
. his courage,” she said, ah
, “but I forgot the weak side
uis pride.”
“Ah,” said the major, gently put
ting her into a chair, “he releases
you ?”
“Which is absurd,” with a wan
smile, “what shall I do?”
"Well,” walking- up and down and
frowning, "as I've said, lie’s pig
headed; but—” a sudden smile flash
ing out, "a beautiful girl”—and he
made a little courtly sweep of hands
to show the helplessness of the world
before her will.
“No,” flushing, "he has gone away.”
*A.ts, he had gone promptly away.
A vision of Miss Benton's eyes with
tears among the lashes went along,
but he frowned it all down, reflecting
upon the two or three households ol
his acquaintance where the wife held
the purse. A pretty position for a
man of honor and brains and muscle
to call on his wife to pay his butcher!
So he hurried west, well from the
sight of Miss Benton and did book
keeping at $1,200 a year.
But a woman’s will is not so easily
dismissed. Some three months later
there came a letter from the one
friend of the old town to whom he
had confided his address, and it had
this paragraph: “You have heard of
Miss Benton’s trouble? It is rumored
that she has lost absolutely every
thing, and I judge there can be no
mistake, for she has sold her ponies,
dismissed her maid and is advertis
ing, poor girl, for a position as gov
erness.”
That day Phil spent studying do
mestic economy and the possibilities
of twelve hundred a year. The next
found him with a fortnight’s leave of
absence and a seat in an east-bound
train.
“I ought to send you away,” said
Miss Benton, with a sigh and a pout
and a furtive glance of adoration,
“but I cannot.”
“Perhaps,” laughed Phil, “you may
do that later; but," with a look in
finitely satisfactory to Miss Benton,
“money is not everything.”
Some,* two years had passed when
the major happened in Chicago and
called on his late ward. The street
was not a fashionable one, and the
house, though cozy and artistic, was
small and plain.
“You don’t mean to say,” gasped
the major, staring from the late Miss
Benton’s simple dress to the very
plain furniture of her sitting-room,
“you don’t mean to say— ’’
“Hush,” laughing, with a finger on
her lips, “I have never told him."
The majr r sat down limp with
astonishment.
“You see, we are quite happy,”
dimpling and flushing exquisitely,
“and that superfluous cash might be
a disturbing element.”
“Upon my soul!”
“So be very careful, please, when
he comes in. He will be delighted to
see you.”
“Upon my soul!”
“Do be careful,” anxiously, with
eye and ear attentive to the door.
“Upon—you don’t touch it at ail?"
“No,” smiling, “not a cent of it.”
“He still thinks,” chuckling, “that
he saved you from going out as a gov
erness?"
“Yes,” in a delighted nod. “Hus-s-sh,
that’s his step.”
“Superfluous cash,” repeated the
major, discreetly low, “upon my
soul!”
MINE PAYS CITY’S BILLS,
The Municipality f linker. Wash.,
Owns n I’l-oflliible Hcpoxii
of Gold Ore.
The town of linker City, Wash., is
one of Fie most favored of munici
palities. for it is the owner of a wa
ter system which is a veritable gold
mine. About a year ago the city au
thorities issued bonds to the amount
of SIOO,OOO and established a gravity
water system to supply the city from
Elk creek, ten miles away in the
mountains. After the new system
was nearly completed it was dis
covered this summer that the flow
of water was not sufficient to meet
the demands of tin* city and the
council issued more bonds and pur
chased the celebrated Auburn ditch,
which brings a large supply of wa
ter from the mountains to a point
about eight miles from the city. The
water is excellent, there is plenty of
it a id it will soon be connected with
the main water system, says a local
informant.
All this is very well, but there is
something - distinctly peculiar about
the new water system of Baker City.
The title to the Auburn ditch car
ries wjfh it the title to the celebrat
ed Nelson placer mines, situated
eight or ten miles west of the city,
and in securing the water the city
also acquired a gold mine, probably
the first ever owned by any munici
pality in the United States. These
mines have been leased in the past
year by year to people who have
taken out good returns every season.
This year the owners have made n
good elean-up. Next year the city
can operate the mine itselt or lease
the privilege to others.
It is estimated by a mining man
of experience that the Nelson placer
mines will pay a sufficient revenue to
pay all the expenses of the city
government of Baker City and afford
many improvements now greatly
needed by this rapidly growing little
city. For instance, the town is in
urgent need of a good sewerage sys
tem. electric street lights, street
pavement and systematic street
sprinkling during the dry months. It
is also proposed to erect in linker
City next year a permanent mineral
palace, to be constructed of gold and
silver ores and to contain a large col
lection of I lie ores from which every
camp and mine in eastern Oregon, so
arranged and exhibited as to answer
all questions as to the mineral re
sources of the country, it would
show to a stranger the exact loca
tion and character of all the differ
ent kinds of ores, gold, silver, cop
per, coal, nickel, kaolin, asphaltnm
and (lie location and description of
all the working mines and prospects.
It is believed that the rental or
proceeds from the Nelson placers,
which in such peculiar manner be
•ame the property of linker City, will
run the city and pay for these much
desired improvements, and perhaps
aid in wiping out the city's indebted
ness ;rln ady being steadily reduced
under a cash basis system of govern
ment.
BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS.
Currency Vneornleil nf the Notional
Treasury lx I si-il by the C ar
Dili 111orn.
It is the commonly accepted be
lief that the old currency redeemed
at the treasury department is abso
lutely destroyed. Such, however, is
not the case. A single wheel of a
locomotive represents many millions
of what was once good paper cur
rency. From a bank note to a car
wheel is quite a radical transforma
tion. but it happens every day, and to
become a supporting atom in the re
volving mass is the ultimate fate of
every soiled sl, $lO or SI,OOO bill, says
a Washington report.
Between $50,000,000 and $500,000,000
worth of paper money is canceled
every year in the treasury depart
ment in Washington, and after being
macerated is converted into filling
fur railroad car wheels. This pulp
makes the best kind of wheels and
the government gets S4O a ton for it
from the manufacturers.
The destruction of soiled paper
currency goes on daily and is in
charge of three treasury employes,
who represent respectively the sec
retary of the treasury, the treasurer
of the United States and the comp
troller of the currency. Bundles of
the canceled notes are dumped into
the big macerators and crushed into
a puttylike mass. The pulp is then
treated with an alkali, which ex
tracts the ink; the sniff is dried,
shipped in bales and forwarded to
the ear wheel manufacturers.
For every- note so destroyed, un
less it has come from a national bank
in liquidation, anew one of the same
denomination is printed at the bu
reau of printing and engraving. All
this work costs the government not h
ing. The national banks pay the ex
penses, although the treasury depart
ment has full control of the redem,v
•ion division.

I The MISSION of I
I LITTLE QUIET |
| By ELIZABETH CHERRY WALTZ. |
(Copjrlght, 1901, by >utbora Syndicate.)
In the neighbortyrod of “Diamond
Row,” as someone wittily dubbed
tile Img block of showj - , pressed
brick houses, Little Quiet’s advent
caused no end of comment and burn
ing curiosity. Lawyer Hodges, the
keenest lawyer of ti e city, had once
been a waif and made his own way
upward. His wife was an invalid and
they were childless. When one day
a child of a year old and a nurse maid
were installed at their house the
women of the block were not satisfied
until each had made a friendly cal,l
ind elicited such crumbs of informa
tion as Mrs. Hodges would impart.
Pieced together it was meager in
formation. The child belonged to
one of Mr. Hodges’ clients ami he
had promised to give it his persona*
supervision. Mrs. Hodges did not
know who the parents were nor why
the child was there. The child was no
annoyance to her, because it was
quiet. In fact, they called her Little
Quiet, although her name was Mary,
The. good matrons of “Diamond
Row,” eager to do and be real society
people, felt and resented the subtle
differences between that baby and
their own less dainty and beautiful
offspring. For Little Quiet was deli
cate and pale, she had starry eyes
and a small, red mouth. Her curls,
now light brown, would one day be
as dark as her lashes. Her skin was
tine and her hands and feet daintily
formed. Money was lavished on her,
money from somewhere. She was a
little queen, even if isolated with her
nurse in the third-story front of the
pressed brick. She was not neglect
ed. Before Lawyer Hodges took his
hat each morning he mounted the
two flights of stairs, cast a suspicious
■ye over the nursery and bedroom,
inspected the child gravely and kind
ly and departed--satist'ed.
Little Quiet could not talk well, but
•die chose to show appreciation or
iffection by little smiles or move
ments and gestures. Her nurse, who
had something like a conscience after
a long siege of troublesome charges,
soon adored her.
“There never was a baby like her,”
she would say ten times a day.
“Wherever her people are, they are
missing the sweetest one God ever
sent below.”
Even Lawyer Hodges thawed as the
child began to look for his morning
visits. Ho showed it by a sharper
scrutiny and a dozen useless com
mands. impractical and accepted by
Nurse Brown with charity.
One gloomy day Lawyer Hodges re
ceived a cablegram of some length
>ver which he looked sore. While he
vas knitting his forehead, the head
•lerk ushered in a woman. The law
yer glanced up, suddenly pushed back
lie cablegram and rose. His keen
yes met eyes cpiite as keen, but
leautiful and imploring.
“Madam!”
“You are surprised to see me, of
ourso. I have recovered. J am here
localise I want my child.”
“Your husband must inform you,
madam. I am merely bis lawyer. 1
let by his instructions.”
“And he is in Europe. I know the
oliild is rot with him anjJ you know
where she is. I would not let my
lawyer come—nor can 1 wait. I must
see my child —do you hear? I must
see tlie child.”
“But, madam—”
“You need not say one -word. I
defy you. 1 am not afraid now of the
whole world, because I have the clew
to the tangle. Harold was and is a
madly jealous man. lie married me
fom the stage with no deceit or guile
on my part. He was always jealous,
ilways suspicious. And when I was
ill, he thought he found those sus
picions verified, seized the child and
tied to Europe. But God is good. I
am now well and I will not be trod
den to the dust. Harold did not take
baby to Europe. She is hidden some
where and you know where. Think
of it, think of it! My child torn from
me and I am wholly innocent. Can
you deny rne her one moment? Think
how her mother must feel!”
During this impassioned appeal the
lawyer stood peering out at her as
if appalled. He had not the least
doubt of her innocence, for he knew
men and women well. But the hus
band was his client and he must
stand on the other side. Something
made him hate himself as he said,
slowly:
“Madam, you must settle this with
your husband. I cannot act save as
he instructs me.”
“As you instruct him, you mean. I
know lawyers’ ways. Harold is rich
and is your client. But I tell you that
in the name of humanity you dare not
-(■fuse to tell me if that child is safe
ind well.”
He meant to shake his head and be
done with it—but there came a sud
len memory of Little Quiet’s clapping
her hands at the sight of her that
morning, her starry eyes alight, as
were these others before him. He
Beared Ids throat.
“She is well and safe.”
“For so much I thank you. You may
write to your client and tell him what
you please. Whatever he does I will
be righted—because there is no wrong
with me—and he has destroyed his
rwn happiness.”
When she had gone Mr. Hodges pulled
forward the cablegram. It told him
that the writer was about to return
and intended to at once sue for a di
vorce and the custody of his child. The
papers must be ready when he reached
New York.
• • * *
“Yes,” the papers are ready,” said
the lawyer on the eighth day after
ward to a tall and athletic young man,
who seemed to fairly till his small of
fice; “that is, if you are fully deter
mined. Your wife will light the case.
She has retained Van Cassyl— and will
fight for the child. Had we not better
arrange something?”
Harold. Thynne shook himself like
a weary dog.
“No, I want it over with. I am sure
—sure. It was my own mad folly.
These women of the stage—pah!”
“But,” interrupted the lawyer, “you
are Too rash, were too rash then.
Think of the child—that is a nice little
child. You ought not to expect me to
not think of her in this ease, for I’ve
looked after her for you.”
“So vou have,” said the man, gloom
ily, “but she is so like her mother.”
"We will go and see her before we
do anything else,” said the lawyer,
quietly. ‘ln fact, I insist that you
must see her before going forward.”
Half an hour later the two men
stepped quietly up the two flights of
stairs. The house seemed very still,
and there was nothing to lead Mr.
Hodges to expect the scene he met on
opening the nursery door. The child
was seated on her beautiful mothers
lafj. the tiny arms about her neck.
Mrs. Hodges w as crying in a chair near
by, and Nurse Brown w as blow ing her
nose violently from time to lime.
“Arethusa!” exclaimed Mr. Hodges,
amazed beyond further speech by the
sight before him.
She turned fiercely upon him
“Which I never won a have ihjtigln,
Timothy, that you’d have hid aw -3 a
sweet child from its m. (her. and all
on account of a bad man's jealousy
Mrs. Thynne had risen w ith tli > child
in her arms. Her eyes b'azed as she
faced her accuser.
“You shall not have her, Harold.
You would make her as miserable as
you have made me. Think of snatch
ing a tender little tiling from its moth
er’s arms and then running off to Eu
rope and leaving her with strangers.”
“itshows what a rash, wildthought
ecl man vou are,” sobbed Airs. Hodges,
“and you've had a bad influence over
my husband or he would never have
helped you.”
Harold Thynne was pallid to the
lips.
“Didn’t 1 see you talking to the
actor you knew before we were mar
ried? Didn’t 1 see you give him a let
ter or note? —and you had promised
me to give up those people.”
“That’s where I was foolish,” re
plied the little mother, bravely. “1
should never have turned my back on
old friends —and should occasion of
fer, 1 will show what that note was
and where its destination.”
“She was sending money to a poor
sick woman that had always looked
after her, you wretch,” cried Mrs.
Hodges; “she told me so, and I be
lieve her —and not asking her about it
you steals her baby, and her sick at
the time. Ugh! but you are a
thoughtless one and don't deserve
such a wife and child. Timothy shall
not take your oase, not he.”
The lawyer whistled softly.
But Little Quiet had been making
up her mind from her perch in her
mother’s arms. She had been shyly
■ying her father while smoothing her
nother’s cheek. Now her seldom
heard voice was raised in entreaty.
“Papa, p’eas turn here.”
It was as if a bombshell had ex
ploded in the room. Nurse Brown
Ifed, weeping audibly. The dazed
Timothy found himself hustled out
by Mrs. Hodges, who fairly drove him
down (he stairs. Sittimrdown upon a
divan in the hallway siie sank back
among the cushions with a wail of
recrimination.
“If it wasn’t for that blessed child,
Timothy, you’d be a miserable sinner.
But the Lord has upset your plans, and
although 1 don’t like that man, she
may bring him around so he’ll act like
other people. They goto little child to
lead them, anyhow.”
Knew from Experience,
Not long ago, in Perthshire, Scot
land, relates a foreign exchange, a
woman was driving her husband down
a narrow lane, when, on turning a
sharp corner, they encountered a
brewer’s cart. Neither had room to
pass, and in most disagreeable tones
the woman said:
“He must go back, for I shall not.
He ought to have seen us before en
tering the lane.”
“But. my dear,” how could he, with
this sudden turn in the road?”
“I don't care,” said the woman,
haughtily; “I shall stay here all night
before I give way to him.”
The driver of the cart overheard all
the conversation, and said, .resign
edly:

The old negro “mammy” of the
ante-bellum type is fust disappearing,
and when one does meet with the
genuine article there is generally rea
son to remember the occasion pleas
antly, Recently a gentleman was
making some purchases in a small
grocery in West Baltimore, when
there entered the store one of these
characters belonging to days gone by.
Hanging conspicuously on the wall
of the store was a large lithograph
depicting an airily clad youngster in
a field of waving grain. The picture
immediately caught the eye of the
newcomer.
“Who’s dat?" she asked the clerk.
“Why, that’s Oeorge Washington,”
replied the clerk, with a twinkle in
his eye.
“Huh!" grunted aunty dubiously.

PARCEL DELIVERY Bjf TUBE.
Private Cnmpanr That Han Initialled
■ System In Iloalon—l'lan Would
Save Much. Traffic.
Pneumatic tubes have long been
used for the transmission of change,
messages, and other light articles.
They were also employed *for a lime
in Boston, New York and Philadel
phia for mail transmission, although
this was stopped about a year ago.
If is quite possible tha. tubes —which
have long been in extensive use on
the other side of the water for
the dispatch of mail, may again be em
ployed for that purpose in this coun
try. and not only iu the cities named,
but also in others. In the meantime
an interesting experiment in the use
of pneumatic tubes for delivering or
dinary parcels was begun by a pri
vate company in Boston last August
and is described by the engineer of
the company. Mr. lid ward 1). Sabine,
in the engineering News. The line
starts in the midst of the retail dis
trict and has two branches. One runs
to tlte Back Bay, a distance of a mile
and a half. The other runs a mile to
a point in the South end. whence a
line continues a mile farther to Uox
bury, and from there another line ex
tends n mile and a quarter farther to
Dorchester. Every line is really
double, one tube being for outward
and the other for inward business.
The carrier travels at the rate of a
mile in two minutes. Bundles are col
lected by team for deposit and are
distributed by team from the other
end. It is obvious that a proper
pneumatic tube parcel delivery sys
tem, having direct connections with
big stores and other centers of dis
tribution in the downtown district in
any large city, would obviate a great
amount of traffic in that district.
The Boston system is not such a one,
but so far as it goes the results of its
use will be instructive.

Prof. Samuel A. Barker, occupying
the chair of mathematics and astron
omy in the University of Indianapolis,
lately gave out a statement that he is
a convert to the theories advanced by
Sir Hubert Ball, Barrett Serviss and
others, that the planet Mars is in
habited, and that Us people are ex

• hut it is impossible to communicate
with them.
Prof, Marker further says, accord
ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, that
“the Martians are a people of stu
pendous power and wonderful engi
neering skill. Were it possible t<* sig
nal them, there is little doubt that
I they would understand and reply, as
they are a race of enormous brain dc

Prof. Marker further adds that in
nil of the thousands of years of
the earth’s history its people have
not succeeded in changing the face of
the planet to any such extent as the
people of Mars have changed theirs.
, but he sees no way of signaling to
them. Me does not take kindly to
the theory advanced by Tesla, of dec

Tradition sometimes plays strange
pranks with dead men’s reputations,
says Thomas Walker Page in Atlan

half hour for the eavesdropper be

exchange of amenities between Duns
Scot us and “Judge” Lynch the one
a shrewd, clear reusoner, whose name
now signifies a fool; the other, a sim
ple Quaker gentleman, whose name
has eoi.e to stand for organized sav
agery. Charles Lynch was a man
whose services to his country as a
brave pioneer and righteous judge, us
a soldier and u statesman, are by no
means deserving of oblivion, still
of obloquy. It seems, indeed, one of
the iniquities of fate that his name
should now be universally applied to
proceedings that no one would con
demn more heartily than he. The
records of the court of Beil ford coun
ty, in Virginia, and those of various
Quaker meetings, the journals of the
Virginia house of burgesses and of
the first constitutional convention,
taken together with family documents
mid traditions, show him to have been
an upright and useful member of so

at the most important crisis of Amer
