THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1895-TEN PAGES. (Copyright, 1896, by Irving Bacheller.) (Continued frcm Tuesday's Star.) CHAPTER IV. There was now no thought of Glasgow. When the day broke Andrew was in the maniacal delirium of severe brain inflam- mation, an] it took the united strength of Two of his mates to control him. To desert her mother and brother at this crisis would have been an impossible thing to Christina. She wrote to Jamie, and then devoted her- self night and day to the duty before her. Week after week the two women walked bravely and lovingly by the sick man’s side through the valley of the shadow of Geath, but when life was at its lowest point, and hope was gone, there was one Morning a strange flutter, and life began to turn back, just as the tide began to flow. Janet looked at her son, and then at the turning waters, and said softly: “Thank God, Christina, he has turned wi’ the tide. He is a’ right now.” It was, however, April in its last days ere Andrew could get down the cliff, and there was no expectation of his resuming work until the herring fishing in June. He sald little about his work and nothing at all about Sophy or his lost money. In thet She Was Afraid to Think. tremendous furnace of his affliction these elements of it appeared to have been ut- terly consumed. But Janet and Christina were feeling the stress of his long illness in @ way strange and humiliating—for the first time in their lives they were without ready money. It was hard for Janet to realize that there was not “a little bit in the bank to fall back on,” and Christina was trying to decide whether tt was best to run into debt or to get a small mortgage on their home. She was pondering this, to her, terrible question one night when she thought her mother and brother were both fast asleep. It was after midnight, the moon was full and the sea quiet, and the sweet strength of the lonely hour entered her heart. For @ little space she walked abreast of angels, for, though there is no open vision in these days, His presence is ever near those who can feel it. She did not voice her anxiety, but it passed from her heart into the In- finite heart, and she was calm and com- forted. Suddenly she heard a movement, and Andrew, fully dressed, came from his room. He was seeing through his eyes, and not with them; he looked like a spirit, and she was afraid to speak to him. Without a sign or word he passed her and began to descend the cliff. “He is walking in his ottolene the new shortening, like all other things must be rightly used if you wish the best results.

S. cured her soui w and saved her from ef untold agony. sleep and may get into danger,” and with this thought she was following his foot- steps. He made no noise and went forward with a motion light and rapid, the very re- verse of the slow, heavy-footed gait of the fisherman. But she kept him in sight as he glided over the ribbed and water-lined sands and round the rocky points which jutted outward, until, after a walk of nearly two miles he made directly for a series of bold rocks, penetrated by number- less caverns. Into one of these he entered, walking without hesitation over the most dangerously narrow paths. Indeed, here Christina was so much delayed by the pre- cautions necessary for her life that she lost sight of her brother, and her heart stood still with terror. Slowly she climbed the hollow crags which seemed to close together in a way that forbid further progress. But she could not believe Andrew had perished; she would have heard the fall of his body or its splash in the water beneath, and she con- tinued to climb and clamber, though every step appeared to make further exploration more and more impossible. But with a startling unexpectedness she found herself in a circular chamber open to the sky, and on the large bowlders lying around Andrew sat. He had the lost box of gold and notes before him and was counting the money. She held her breath. She was afraid to think, to stir: she divined at once the whole secret. Motionless she watched him unroll and then reroll the notes, count and re- count the gold and lock and hide away the box in an aperture above his head, filling the space in front of it with a stone that exactly fitted. Then, without hurry or hesitation, he re- traced his steps, and Christina followed as rapidly as she was able. But he was far in advance when she reached the open beach, and, almost exhausted, she sat down to realize the relief that had come to them —to wonder, to clasp her hands in adora- tion, to weep tears of joy. When she reached home it was quite light. Andrew was lying motionless in the deepest sleep, but Janet, half awake, asked querulously “Why are you about sae early, Christina?” And then Christina sat down on her mother’s bed, and in low, intense words, told her what he had seen. “You should ha’e brought the box wi’ ycu, Christina. Oh, my lassie, if some ither body should ha'e seen what you have we'll be fairly ruined twice over." “Andrew must go for it himsel', mother. He might not believe it was ever there, if he did not go for it. You ken, he sus- picioned baith Jamle and me mysel’!” It seemed that morning as if andrew would never awaken, but at length he rose, and came inio the kitchen. The look on his mother’s face arrested him at once, and when he 3aw the same look on Chris- tina’s he laid down his knife and fork and said: “What is it? There is something you hae to tell me.”” “Oh, my lad!” cried Janet, ‘‘there is! Your siller is found! I dinna think a baw- bee o’ it is lost! Dinna mind me, Andrew; I canna help greeting for the joy o° it!” Thei Christina told him the whole story, and he pushed away his plate and went into his room awhile. When he came out face was shining, and he said, joyfully: ome away, Christina; you must go wi’ me for the box, though I ken weel the place you mean, I hid the first shillings I ever saved there.” And as they walked together he said: “I’m shamed to tell you, Christina, but I'm most sure I ken how all this trouble came about. After I showed you the money I got feared you would tell Jamie Lauder and I thought 0’ the proba- bility till It became a sure thing in my ain mind, and sae doubtless, my heart being troubied anent the matter, I got up in my sleep and put the siller in my auld hiding place. And as I hid it in my sleep, it was only in my sleeep I kent where I had hid it. There is two o’ us, Christina, I'm thinking, and the one man doesna tell the ither man everything he knows. I should hae trusted you.” “You might hae trusted me safely, An- drew.” “I hae done wrong, and I must put the wrong right. When did you hear from Jamie? And where is he?” “I dinna ken whar he is. He sailed awa’ yon time and he left the ship in New York. He said when he wrote me last that you would find out some day how far wrong you were and then things might be differ- ent. You s:e, he thought I should hae come to Glasgo’ and you were ill, and I couldna leave you.” “Dinna cry, Christina. I'll seek Jamie o'er the wid’ warld but I'll find him. wonder at mysel’! I'm shamed o’ mysel ou _werena altogether to blame, drew. You were ill at the time; your brain was on fire, laddle, and you werena to be held for any word you said. But if you seek Jamie and say as much to him, may- be I might be happy for a’ that has come and gane.” “What else could I do but seck Jamie? I hae wronged you baith cruelly, and I be to make it up to you, as weel as sorrow and siller can do so.” When thcy reached the cavern Andrew would not let her enter, but in a little while he returned with the box in his hands. His heart was ringing to the music of its happiness, for he felt now that the door was open, and he could walk up to success as to a friend on his own hearth- stone. That afternoon he put the money in the bank and made preparations for his mother’s and sister's comfort for some weeks. Then he went to Glasgow and was fortunate enough to find the ship in which Jamie sailed, in port The third mate re- called the young man readily. “He was in some love trouble,” he said, “and thought he could forget the girl if he ran away from his country and his work. He has found out his mistake by this time, doubtless. Anyway, we let him go, and I heard he had shipped on an American line, sailing to Cuba or New Orleans, or some- where near to the equator. I wouldn't seek him,” he added. “He'll come home again. He ‘showed me a lock of her hair; one strand of it will pull him Scotland-wise oner or later.” ‘I hae wronged him sairly, sir,” sald An- drew. “That's a different and right him.” “Aye; that is what I want to d So Andrew sailed to New York and Janet resumed her old friendly, gossippy ways, and Christina quietly but still hope- fully began again her preparations for her marriage. For Janet had no doubts about Jamie. “Andrew {s bound to find him,” she said, “and he is bound to be glad enou’ to come hame, no’ to speak 0” your- sel’, Christina. If you get the spindle and distaff ready, God is sure to send the flax, and by the same token, get your plenishing made and marked and your bride clothes finished and God will vend the husband, nae doubt.” One of the first results of Janet's re- newed social visits was the news that Sophy was miserably married. Some, indeed, said that she had run away from her husband and gone back to her cousin Isobel, who had refused to take her In. Isobel would say nothing to Janet on the subject, but Jangt thought “the look 0° her mair than eou’.” It was at least evi- dent that there was serious trouble, for Mr. Braelands and his mother were in France together and Sophy had certainly been seen in Largo since their departure. | And these things made Janet and Chris- tina very anxious about the motherless little woman. “For she ought to be wi’ her ain gudeman, and no whar else,” sald matter. I would go Christina. “Gudeman, indeed!" cried Janet, scorn- fully. ‘“‘“Gudeman! there’s few o’ them de- serve the name.” “You were kin to her dead mother, and you should see to her.” “Not I, Christina. I'll no come between man and wife. I'd only get the wyte for it. Many a sair heart folks get wi’ med- dling wi’ what they canna mend.” CONES infant Healtb SENT FREE It is a matter of vast importance to mothers.

Address, NEW YORK CONDENSED MILK CO., 71 Hudson 3 Street, New York, d In the meantime Andrew, after a pleas- ant sail, had reached New York. With the information received in Glasgow he had Kittle difficulty in locating Jamie, whose name was found on the list of sea- men, sailing a steamer between New York and New Orleans. She was then at her pler on the North river, and, with permis- sion to interview James Lauder, Andrew went on board her one very hot afternoon about 4 o’clock. Jamie was at the hold at- tending to the cargo, and as he lifted him- self from the stooping attitude which his work demanded he saw Andrew Binnie and knew him. Andrew instantly put out his hand. “Jamie,” he said, “I thought wrong 0’ you and I did you wrong. I hae come here to say ‘Forgie me!'” “f knew you would come to yoursel’ some day, Andrew. There’s my hand! I haven't a thing against you now. How’s Christina?” “Weel, but wearing for you. I hae promised to bring you hame wi’ me, Jamie. You will surely come?” “Ay, gladly, if it can be managed. I am fair sick for the soft gray skies and the keen salt wind o’ the North sea. She last Sabbath I was baking in New Or- leans I thought I heard the kirk bells across the sands and saw Christina step- ping down the rocks wi’ the Bible in her hands and her sweet smile making a’ hearts but mine happy, and I was sick wi’ longing.” They spent the night together, and final- ly affairs were so arranged that Jamie and Andrew took the next Anchor line steamer home again. And during the voy- age the men grew close to each other, and Andrew told Jamie that he was to be cap- tain of one of the Red-White fleet, and offered him a berth in his ship. And thus all things were settled and talked over before they landed, and ere ihey reached ey cremntaie the men were already broth- erly. The marriage was not delayed. Andrew gave Christina a silk gown and a bun- dred gold sovereigns, and Janet gave her daughter a piece of land close to her own cottage, on which Jamie immediately be- gan to build. And all the village, old and young, were at the weddinx, so that for two days the feast, the song und ‘he dance went gayly on, and during those two days not a single fishing boat left -he tittle port of Pittencraigie. The m2n went off to sea, and Janet and Christina had a never-ceasing interest in the building and plenishing of the new house. It was not fashionable, nor hardly permissible, for any one to build a house on a plan grander than the traditional fisher cottage, but Christina’s, though no larger than her neighbors’, had the modern convenience of many little closets and presses, which Janet tilled with homespun napery and broadcloths, so that never a young lass in Pittencraigie began life under such full and happy circumstances. It was, however, far into the fall of the year before the new fire was lit on the new hearth and Christina moved into her ewn house. It was only divided from her mother's by a little garden, and the two women could stand at their doors and talk tw each other. So the pleasant months went by, with nothing but Andrew's and Jamie’s visits to mark them, until one cold, frosty morning in December. Janet was washing her dinner plate and sing- ing: “I cast my Ine in Largo Bay, And fishes I caught nine; There's three to boil and three to fry, And three to bait the line,” when she heard a sharp rap at her door. The rap was not made with the hand, and she opened the door instantly and saw the master of Braelands. Sho perceived also that he had struck her door with the handle of the short whip in his hand, and it offended her. “Weel, sir; your bidding?” dourly. “I came to see about my wife. Where is she?” “You ought to ken that better than any ither body. It is nane o’ my business.” “She has left her home.’ “She would have good reason, dootless.” “She had no reason at all.” Janet shrugged her shoulders, smiled and looked over the tossing black waters. “I wish to go through your house. think she is with you.” “Go through my house? Do you think I'll let a man wi’ a whip in his hand go through my house after a poor frightened bird like Sophy? Na, na! Not while my name is Janet Binnie! “I rode here. The whip horse. You do not think I on any woman?” “God kens. I dinna.”" “Tell Sophy to come and speak to me.” “Sophy isna here.” am sure she ‘Do you call me a lee-ar? Do it agin, and every fish wife in Pittencraigie will help me to give you your fairings. Tak’ she asked, I is for my would use it “I came to see about my wife; where is she?’ yeursel’ off my doorstep, or it will be the waur for you! Coming here and chap- ping on my door wi’ a horsewhip! Off wi’ you! You puir creature you! Sophy Tralll tad a bad bargain wi’ the like o’ you! You drunken, leeing, savage-like, wife- beating pretense o’ a husband!" “Mother! mother!” cried Christina, com- ing hastily forward. “What's your will, sir?” she asked, turning to Braelands. “My wife has left her home, and I came here to seek her.” “You came to the wrong place. Sophy isna here. We ken naething o’ the poor, miserable lassie. God help her! And I think you had better be going, sir. There's Limmer Scott and Margot Roy and a few more wives looking this way, and they hae their own fashion o' treating men-folk who Ill-treat a fisher lass. Sophy was born amang them.” “You are a bad lot altogether.” “Ay, and we'll prove it on you, if you dinna mak’ a quick step out o’ Pitten- craigie,” cried Janet. “I wouldna think much mysel’ o’ putting you in a blanket and tossing you o’er the cliff into the wa- ter.” And Janet with her arms akimbo and her eyes blazing with anger was not a comfortable sight. So, with a smile of derision, Braelands went away, his affect- ed deliberation by no means hiding the white feather from the laughing, jeering aoe whose angry mocking followed im. And then there was a conclave in Janet's house, and every one told their own version of the Braelands trouble, until Christina’s heart was hot and heavy within her, and she could not work nor eat nor sleep for the thought of the runaway wife. Indeed, in every cottage there was the one topic of wonder and pity and the one sad lament: “Poor Sophy! Poor Sophy Braelands!” (To be concluded tomorrow.) ae Three Hundred Men -Killed.

The gold reserve was kept at the $100,- 000,000 mark yesterday by the gold syndi- cate. About 2 o'clock the Treasury De- partment was informed that $2,850,000 in gold had been withdrawn for export from the subtreasury in New York. As the gold reserve at the close of business yesterday stood at $102,527,146, the withdrawal would have reduced the reserve to $90,677,148. A few minutes afterward, however, Acting Secretary Curtis received a telegram say- ing that Mr. Plerpont Morgan of the syn- dicate had deposited $2,000,000 in gold in exchange for greenbacks. This deposit swelled the reserve to 311,677,148. The officials at the department display no apprehension as to the gold reserve, and in- timate that the syndicate wiil continue to make deposits to offset withdrawals. But they decline to express their reasons for their faith, and the question ri dd con- stantly is as to the pied syndicate is making these deposits and the period it covers, as well as the ability of the syndicate to continue to protect the reserve. But little Wght can be shed on these questions, however, as it is said that probably only tw? government oificials— President Clevelan} and Secretary Carlisle —know the unwritten part of the agree- ment made with the syndicate which se- cured the last issue of bonds. The syndi- cate has so far voluntarily deposited about $8,000,000 in gold. The mafiner in which the syndicate has accumulated the gold which It has volun- tarily exchanged at the treasury for green- backs {s not absolutely known,-as the sy! dicate does not make public its operations, but at the Treasury Department it is be- lieved that most of it is obtained by giving exchange on San Francisco and by buying bullion checks. The circulation in San Francisco {s practically all gold. The move- ment of money fs east, 48 a result of which San Franciseo exchange on New York is usually at a premium, equal to the cost of the transportation gf agi across the con- tinent. For the sanve réason New York ex- change on San Francisco is often at a slight discount, although just now It is at par. By offering eg¢hange on San Fraa- elsco, therefore, the dicate can accu- mulate large -quantitie¥Y of gold in Francisco at practically no expense. The syndieate can also procure gold by buying bullion checks issuéd for bullion deposited at the assay offices and the government mints. These, at the present time, when there is a demand for gold, bring a stight premium. ,Jt {s not believed, however, that the syndicate is put to much expense In accumulating In this fashion practicatly the entire product of the American gold mines, which averages usually about $35,000,000 a year. s o AWFUL FIGHT OF MA ACS. Attendant Stood by and Look- ed On. The Investigation of the county com- missioners into the management of the Dunning Insane Asylum began yesterday at Chicago. Thirty thousand words of tes- timony were taken at the first sitting. Towards the end of the day's sitting came a horrible story that in detail was more barbarous than the story of the Puick murder. It was told by Dr. McGrew, resident physician of Dunning Asylum. It concerned a battle between two madmen, who had fought in the corridor of ward 2, while Anderson, accessory to the murder of Puick, was on watch. These two patients quarreled over some silly and childish difference. They came to blows. They tore at each others’ faces, and rolled abcut the floor, while Anderson looked on. One of them, in the frenzy of a raving maniac, set his teeth into the face of the other. He bit off his nose and spat it on the stone floor of the corridor. The maniac with whom this patient was battling sprang away from the death grip, feil bleeding and screaming to the floor, saw the flesh torn from his own face, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed his own nose to a pulp and swallowed it. He said that would: make it grow again, and Anderson looked on. This was the sworn testimony of Dr. Mc- Grew, resident physician at Dunning Asylum. While it was being given the sioners turned sick and pale. Jane one of the committee, covered her face with her hands, and clutched at the arm of her chair. McGrew made the story more effective by the quiet way he had told it. So far as his manner was concerned, Was not an unusual occurrence at Dun ning. At the end of the story somebody whis- pered to President Healy of the commis- sioners, “You said there was nothing to investigate.” Healy looked up. His face was pale, and his eyes full of the horror of that Story he hac just heard. “God forgive me,” he said, “I did. But I did not know. I did not know these things. Although the inquiry was only begun, enovgh was drawn out to show that great abvses have been practiced in the asylum. Most of the evidence given yesterday was regarding the routine management of the institution. And a Seven Were Drowned.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun frcm Norfolk, dated yesterday, says: The france committee of the councils held a very important meeting last night, at which the differences between the Southern railway and the city, in regard to the for- mer’s lease of terminal property here, were considered and the lease finally agreed upon. The finance committee, which had power to act, approved the lease. Vice President Andrews left for New York this merning. The Southern railway will reach the city over the Norfolk and Carolina rail- read, but will use its own engines, cars and barges, and must begin operations by January 1. The lease opens a vast terri- tory to the Norfolk merchants, and a large increase of business for the city may be reasonably expected. The road will also do a foreign business from this point. It is sald by some who took much interest in corsummating the lease that Newport News came very near getting the Southern railway to make its terminus there. backs= lously and irresistibly low Just think of $5.00 for a good full suit of Men’s Clothes, Black, Navy and Mixtures.
