they, could obtain no facts. 0n the
other hand was the generally accep-
ted°rumor that a man whose invariable
success in the most daring combinations
was the talk of Wall Street had suddenly
left Wall'Str eet, - and was forcing this
hitherto unheardofmining stock, capital-
.iled in ten million of dollers—up to par.
Sell? Already enough-Of it had been
bought-=- all the'way .up from twenty-
five cents to nearly the‘ten dollars per
share which represented its par value—
to make a clo‘se call for a sum equal to
three-quarters of the capital stock to
pay for it. Up-up-up. ‘
The Officers of the company, never
I impressed with the value of their prop-
. erty,
continually misled by their sup-.
erintendent as to its value,having heard
no word from Lorimer, and without the
faintest idea who was buying, or if the
whole excitingsituation were not a gi- ,
gantic practical-joke being heavily in
debt. and seeing that, if this demand,
were bona-fide they could realize more
than twenty times all they had ever put
into it—the company warily, and just
with sufiicent rapidity -to tempt the
purchasing brokers; egan to throw
their stock 0n the market. But there
was no hesitation in buying.
Up-up—up went the stock, and when
at last the well-known cry rang out,
“Any part of fifty thousand shares of'
‘Ben Trovato’ at eight dollars, eight
. fifty, nine dollars, ten dollars, ” and there
were no takers, the Exchange collapsed,
and a mad, dancing, yelling crowd
stampeded into the street, and surged
into gioups, and wondered which lunatic
asylum was yawning for this particular
victim. -
“ Nothing like it was ever known, my
boy,” wrote the president of the com-
pany in closing his long and graphic de-
scription of the scene, “ and the best of
it—for you—remains to be told. Your
tenth share amounts to a. little less than
half a million of dollars, and is on de-
posit, awaiting your order.
“We learned of the collapse of the
mine and the death of Mr. Hardy a week
before your despatch reached us. It
was telegraphed to all the papers from
Panama, and Brande-gee, on hearing it,
left the city, and has not been heard of
since. It turns out that the stock of the
‘ Ben Trovato ’ had been mainly bought
with his own money, only about fifty
‘ thousand dollars being the result of his
reh‘ypothecation. But he was ruined, a
complete smash, and now everybody is
wondering what ever’induced him to
wreck his splendid fortune and pros-
pects in such an insane venture. He
may have had, or thought he had, intel-
ligence that certainly was not in our
possession, but we can tell nothing
about it until we see you; it may be that
you can enlighten us.”
Lorimer closed the letter and folded
it. Then he. drew a long breath.
“Ben, you remember I told you my
friendship wasn’t worth much?”
Ben nodded, but with a manner which
(1 his own opinion
about that.
“ Well, it is worth more than I thought.
I owe to you—through blood and disas-
ter—the miracle of strange blessings
that has been wrought in my behalf.
Part of it means wealth beyond my
dreams. And as long as I live you shall
never want for a dollar or a friend.”
“Put it there, pard,” said Ben, in a
husky voice”. “You stood by me when§I
was broke, an’ now, if yer’ve raked in
your pile—Why, I’m glad, An’ if yer’ve
straightened matters with your gyurl,
why, I'm glad of that too. But I ain’t
goin’ to be no stumblin’ block onto you.
Just you help me to a sit an' an outfit,
an’ we's quit." ‘
The journey to New York was a period
of joy for Lorimer that no other delight
could probably ever quite equal. He
said as little as possible about'his affairs,
stating, in answer, to Mr. Cameron’s
guarded questions, that he could not
quite tell how he stood until he had seen
his employers. As for Grace, she was so
full of happiness in her new-Old love that
she cared nothing for the merely practi-
cal affairs of life, and evinced no curios-
ity whatever.
On their arrival in New York. Lorimer
bade a temporary farewell to his fellow-
travellers‘, leaving a. tacit understanding
that henceforth he would occupy the
.position of accepted suitor to Grace-s-
vice Carl Brandegee, disbanded. Pro-
ceeding at once to the company’s Ofiice
with Ben Day, he found no one there but
a remarkably keen boy, whom he recog-
nized as having seen there before his de-
parture from the city, six weeks before.
-Six weeks? Could it be possible that,
even in a dream, a man could go through
such experiences as had been his in that
brief time? ‘ ‘
In answer to his inquiries the youth in
charge said he didn’t know where any-
body belonging to the company could
be found. except it was the president.
“ He comes fidgeting round every day,
wantin’ to know if you hain’t come. He
was here this mornin’, an’ said if you
' came I was to tell you to go to his house
right away. I say Mr. Lorimer,” he
shouted, as the latter was leaving.
“they’ve all got rich sinst you went
.1!
away.
“ Is that so?” ' ,
“ Yes. They’ve got b’ilin’s of money.
‘ Ben Trovato ’ went up to par, an’ they
had a corner onto it, an’ so they’s all
millionaires. They ain’tno company no
more. , hey’s just a-keepin’ me here to
stay till the rent’s used up. Know a good
place fora sharp boy?”
Lorimer promised to remember him if
he heard of one, and" then, after making
an appointment with Ben for the even-
ing, he went straight to the president’s
'house—an Old friend of his father’s-
where that‘functionary met him with
efiusion. In another hour Lorimer was
placed in possession of his fortune, and
.after giving up the company's papers,
and relating the surprising discovery of
the old workings in the mine, he asked
the president if he thought the company
.would contemplate reopening it. So far
from this were the president’s views
that he declared his
whole matter a secret Whatever had
become of the st k he did‘ not know;
probably it had een turned over to
Brandegee’s creditors with the other
assets. Certainly the trouble of recon-
ciling all the conflicting interests. and
reorganizing. besides beginning with the
very disagreeable feature of digging out
the superintendent’s remains, were not
likely to encourage anybody to go into
it. Both therefore agreed to keep the
matter secret, and, to this understand-

had set him on a ranch, where he found
a life that agreed with‘h‘im, and more
fun than he had ever enjoyed before in
teaching that “sharp" company's ofiice
youth how to be a cow-boy.
And yet the story is not quite all told.
A year later a traveler through the
Cordilleras came upon a dismantled,
mining camp. Pausingand dismounting,
he looked about him curiously, when his
eye was attracted by something in
motion just outside the camp. He went
to the spotfand discovered, to his sur-
prise, that the moving Object was a man,
who was seemingly working alone in
this solitude. He was gaunt and thin,
with long gray-hair, and piercing, dan-
gerous eyes looked out from beneath
his over-hanging and' bony brows, and a
long matted gray be’ard concealed the
lower part of his emaciated face. He
never so much as looked up from his
work as the ,traVeller approached, nor
replied as he addressed him.
At the mouth Of an old shaft he had
rigged a rude bucket by a rope on a
Windlass. Ladders extended down one
side of the shaft, and by these means he
toiled ever to raise from below such
fragments as he could move of rock
which had evidently been cast down
there by some natural convulsion, or by
a collapse in the shaft itself. With
back bent to his work, and with the
strain of an intense purpose visible
in every movement of his set muscles,
this man, young in years, but aged in
appearance and in his actual life bya
single withering blast of fate, climbed
laboriously down and up the ladders, -
toiled with the masses of stone with a
fretful impatience that there were so
many and that they were so heavy, yet
with no such idea as a cessation of his
intent ever finding a place in the frenzied
brain which now held but one purpose.
To lift, stone by stone, this burden
and weight, this was his task. Had all
Of the rock within that shaft been made
up of fragments such as those which
with scarred and bleeding hands he had
succeeded in bringing to the surface,
and piling in small heaps about the
mouth of the shaft, through days and
weeks and months of solitary and help-
less labor, it would even then- have been
a superhuman task for one- man to at-
tempt; as it was, it was an impossible
one. But had he at last met with suc-
cess, and penetrating thus into the
bowels of the earth, had he been per-
mitted to remove from the awful pres-
ence beneath the weight of the superin-
cumbent mass, the man who planned
the murder of Ralph Lorimer and the
man who lost his own' life in his vain
attempt to execute the foul deed would
have met at the 300-foot level of the
“ Ben Trovato ” mine.
THE END.
"The Rock of" Chickamnuga."
General George H. Thomas is about
as well known by his soubriquet of “The
Rock of Chickamaugua ” as “ Stonewall ”
Jackson is by the one-that clings to him.
NO doubt most persons understand that
”The Rock of Chlckamauga ” as applied
to General Thomas refers to his moral
qualities, his immovable firmness as a
soldier, etc. But it seems some have
given it a literal interpretation. ‘ Some
time ago Miss Ransom, the artist,
painted an elaborate picture of General
Thomas, intending to sell it to the Gov-
ernment. She‘ represented General
Thomas at the battle of Chickanrauga.
When the painting was finished the lady
invited several officers who served under‘.
the general to visit her studio and give
their judgment. The astonishment of
the visitors was great when they found
that the lady perched the general upon
a big boulder. In a gentle way they
tried to explain to Miss Ransom that
she had misunderstood the reference to
“ The Rock of Chickamauga." They
told her that General Thomas did not
stand upon a rock. But the lady insisted
that she was right. She said she had
been to the battlefield of Chickamauga
and had seen the identical rock which
the general had stood upon, and which
she had painted in the picture. General
Wilder, an Indiana man, who com-
manded a brigade in the battle of Chick-
amauga, is about to'locate a real rock of
Chickamauga in memory of his old com-
mandpr.’ General Wilder is now inter-.
estedfiin a railroad between Lookout
Mountain and Crawfish Springs. He has
arranged to transport from Lookout the
biggest boulder which he can carry on
car-trucks. This boulder is to be set up
at the spot where General Thomas stood
while the successive charges of the Con~
federates were beaten back from Snod-
grass »Hill. Upon the boulder will be
inscribed these words only: ” George
H. Thomas, the Rock of Chickamauga."

“ Now, don’t he feel big,” he continued,

ers and directors of the Consolidated,
and President Clark and'General Mam
ager Tuttle of the Consolidated.
Colonel William H. Stevenson re-
signed his position as vice-president
and general manager of the Housatonic
road, and the road is now in the hands
of the‘Consolidated road. Consolida—
ted directors fill the vacated positions,
and the road will hereafter be run by
the Consolidated.
The resignation of ColonelStevenson
was not unexpected, as it was supposed
that if the Housatonic became the
property of the Consolidated-his resig—
nation would be the first thing asked
for. Several resignations were pre-
sented at the meeting of the Housaton-
ic directors, Colonel‘Stevenson’s being
the most noteworthy. . ~
The vacancies were at once promptly
filled, the following being the oflicers
as they now stand : President, George
M. Miller; vice-president, W. E. Bar-
nett; general superintendent, C. H.
Platt; secretary and treasurer, ..~ M. E.
Stone;
William Rockefeller, Charles P. Clark,
Lucius Tuttle, Charles Lanier, W. E.
Barnett, J. Pierpont Morgan. A. B.
Mygatt and W. E. Downes. With the
exception of the last two, all are new
men ard are identified with the Consol-
idated road.
SHEPAUG ROAD OFFICERS.
Ameeting of the, directors of the
Shepaug road was also held, and the
following directors then tendered their
resignations: J. L. Maliaulay. W.
Starbuck, P. P. Hubbard, E. V. Cary
Their places were filled by the election
of Charles P. Clark, J. Pierpont Mor-
gan, William Rockefeller and Lucius
Tuttle. Charles P. Clark was elected
president in place of J. L. Macaulay,
who resigned, and C. H. Platt was
elected general superintendent.
NEw HAVEN AND DERBY.
The meeting of the directors of the
Haven and Derby road was then held
and here, too, sweeping changes ‘were
made. The following directors re-
signed : J. L. Macauley. W. H. Steven-
son, Henry Hentz, E. V. Cary, M. E.
Stone and Andrew J. Porter. They
were succeeded by Charles P. Clark,
William Rockefeller. Lucius Tuttle, J.
Pierpont Morgan, W. E. Barnett and
N. D:\ Sperry. President W. H. Ste-
venson resigned and was succeeded by
Lucius Tuttle, but no change was made
in the office of secretary, which is held
by A. J. Porter.
' The resignation of J. L. Macaulay
indicates that the Consolidated has also
purchased his stock.

Messrs. Sloan and Wigham were ap-
pomted tellers. A vote was then taken
for a committeeman for the term of
three years. to succeed Arthur C.
Wheeler. , Mr. Wheeler received 24
votes, and L. L. Sherwood 2.
By vote of the meeting the clerk cast
a ballot for H. P. Price for treasurer,
and he was declared elected. The same
thing was done for the election of A. E.
Austin as clerk, the chairman casting
the ballot.
A ballot was then taken for the office
of collector. Leslie Sherwood received
18 votes and Oliver S. Clark 11. Sher-
wood wasdeclared elected.
. The yery important matter of a
change in the present heating and ven-
tilating of. the school building was thor-
oughly diSCussed, after which a vote
was passed empowering the committee
to go ahead and secure such changes in
that respect as in their judgment would
" be for the best interests of the district
and scholars,‘at an expense not in ex-
cess of $3,000.
It was voted that a tax of 5 mills be
laid on the town list of 1891, payable
December let, 1892. .
The compensation of the collector was
placed at 2 per cent. with an additional
$15 for expenses.
Messrs. Samuel Lynes and Frank I.

It was stated that it is 3 years since
a tax had been laid in the district, and
the committee was also complimented
on the excellent and economical man-
ner in which the affairs of the district
had been conducted. .

Principal Wigham deserved praise for
the fine condition of the school rooms.

Photos sent. by Wire.
The transmission of pictures by
electricity is one of the latest appli-
cations of the subtle but extremely
useful fluid, and the principle of this
new discovery is somewhat similar to
that on which the telephone is based,
use being made of varying degrees of
light, instead of sound, as in the tele-
phone.
over the wire it is first photographed
on what photographers call a strip-
ping film, composed of gelatine and
bichromate of potash. After the pic-
ture is transferred to this film, the
film is washes with lukeWarm water,
by which all but the lines of the pic-
ture are removed, leaving the photo-
graph in relief. '
The point of a tracing apparatus,
when drawn across this film from side
to side, rises and falls as it strikes
each line of the picture. This wave-
like motion of the tracer is made use
of to produce similar motion in an-
other tracing apparatus at the other
end by means of complicated electri-
cal mechanism, and each depiession
and elevation in the pictureis repro-
duced in a waxen cylinder on the re-
ceiving instrument. To accomplish
this it is necessary to go entirely over
the picture that is being transmitted,
tracing lines across the surface. A
single line conveyS‘no idéa of the pic-
ture, but as they follow each other
they gradually outline the object.-
Electricity.
Cause of Dreams.
I believe that the majority of
dreams are merely the penalty of out-
raged digestive organs, and you have
no right to mistake the nightmare for
heavenly revelation. Late suppers
are awarrant deed for bad dreams.
Highly spiced salads at 11 o’clock at
night, instead of opening the door
heavenward, opens the door. infernal
and diabolical. You outrage natural
law, and you insult the God who
made these laws. It takes you from
three to five hours to digest food, and
you have no right to keep your diges-
tive organs in struggle when the rest
of your body is in somnolence.
The general rule is, out nothing
aftereo'clock at night, retire at 10,
sleep on your right side, keep the
window open five inches for ventila-
tion, and other worlds will not disturb
you much..
By physical maltreatment you take
the ladder that Jacob saw in his
dream and you lower it to the nether
world, allowing the ascent of the de~
moniacal. Dreams are midnight dys-
pepsia. An unregulated desire for
something to eat ruined the race in
Paradise, and an unregulated desire
for something to eat keeps it ruined.
The world during 6,000 years has tried
in vain to digest that first apple.—

An Ante-bellnni Dress Suit.
Some people have a liking for old
clothes and dread donning a new
suit. There are many who have in
their wardrobes relics of bygone years
in the shape of pants, vests or coats.
Commissioner Douglass has in his
possession an old-timer in the. first
and only dress coat he ever wore.
“Do you know,” he said the other
day, "I am ‘still wearing my first
dress coat, which I bought in Phila-
delphia before the war. The original
pantaloons and vest have long since
gene by the board, but that dear old
coat remains, andI still useit. Let me
see; it was, I think, in 1859 that I pur-
chased the suit, and that coat is al-
most as good as new. It has been
attacked slightly by moths, but their
inroads have been made beneath the
lapels, and the damage done cannot
be noticed. I suppose I will keep on
wearing that old coat until I have no
further use for a dress suit.”-—Ne
