Returning home after a long absence, one naturally expects surprises and changes; but I could not have ever im- agined such as I found my friend Philip Moreland. I had been gone twenty years and lam well aware how impressions will fade and memory be- come defective in that length of time; but he was so different from the promise of his early manhood that 1 at once felt the change to be more than a warping of my recollection. When we had parted, just after graduating from the same col- lege—he to study law and I to take a promising business post in Australia— he was a healthy, stalwart young man, indomitable, buoyantly aggressive, un- compromisingly ambitious and blessed with talents insuring his success. Call- ing at his office, I found a shrunken man, old before his time, his hair and beard streaked with gray, and deep lines rudely cut across a waxen forehead. The first glance told me that I beheld a tragedy of noble gifts and aspirations. Not until I had answered his questions as to my prosperity, and he had told me that his parents were dead, and that, not having married, he lived almost alone in the old homestead, did I speak of his appearance, and beseech him, in the name of our friendship, to tell me what calamity had come to him. He looked at me afew moments, unable to reply, the pupils of his sunken eyes di- lating, and pallor forcing its way through the yellow skin. At last he replied, with shaking voice, and concealing the trembling of his hands by tightly press- ing them upon the chair arms: “Yes, John, I will tell you. But you will be the only mortal except myself who knows what has snapped the strings of my energy and purposes. I cannot tell you here, though.’’ Greatly wondering, I asked: ‘‘Where can you tell me?’’ *““Come to the old home to-night at 8 o clock.”’ Punctually to the appointed time, I sent solemn echoes of the old-fashioned brass knocker through the wide hall. The house, dating from colonial days, unable to keep pace with modern im- provement, and secluded from the street amid high poplars and elms, was gloomy enough at all times; but clouds had brought the October night earlier, and the rattle and rustle of the withered leaves, as the wind tore them from the boughs and scurried them across the dead grass, seemed to deepen the dismal quiet of the place; or, in my fancy, ex- cited by apprehension, to be the whis- pering of the demons of fate and mys- tery. An aged colored servant, whose hearty voice, as 1 remembered it, had in NO. 443. . ° a silently revealed his wish that we sit there. L accordingly asked him to turn down the light, which he gladly did, and we sat down before the fire place. Anxiously interested in my friend’s condition, I fell naturally to analyzing it as reflected by the expression of his face, and I now saw, even in the dim hearth- light, a spark of hope that this first re- vealment might ‘John,’’? he began, that this is not the same used. He, you remember, preferred the room at the top of the house, which looked out over the slanting roof of the back building, and commanded the view we often, as young admired in those happy days. Men of studious habits seem to take instinctively to the house-tops, as if nearness to the ground makes the mind earthy. I, too, liked its solitude, and, after father died, I kept it until—”’ He stopped suddenly, and the spark in his eyes was quenched by despair. I said nothing, and he went on: ‘But I will start at the beginning, and if you can suggest an escape for me, you will be more thana friend to me. V’m suffering, John—God help me, how I suf- fer! You know what prospects I had. If wrote you how I was elected Prosecuting Attorney.

Briefly and horribly, John, my ambition rose to madness. It trampled down my scruples conviction on circumstantial evidence, and even the sympathy I had for Harkton as a close acquaintance. You will not, you can- not, understaud me when I tell you that my ambition became—-bloodthirsty. It set a mark—Harkton’s life. You shrink, my friend, and it is right you should; but, before high heaven, i swear it to be true that it was an external impulse—a determination which could have been formed only in the deepest heart of Lu- cifer himself. ‘Through day, and night after night, not stopping to sleep, I studied the eir- cumstances until I had weighed and pared and shaped and fitted them into a man of under worth against of conviction. been lowered to a pitch of melancholy, opened the door and bade me go up- stairs. | Philip welcomed me in the study with an air of relief.

Harkton had never been a strong man, and he was now further weakened by imprisonment. I could easily detain him, and I argued that, as a public officer, sworn to see that the laws were vindicated, it was my duty to do so. So far the act I now tell you of was justified, but’’—he paused, turn- ing to me in violent self-condemnation— ‘in so far as my aspirations sought to make a stepping-stone of this man’s life, the act was diabolical. ‘***But you will surely let me go now, and give me the chance to escape,’ Hark- ton said, weakly. ***No,’ I hissed, rising; ‘I will return you to prison.’ ‘‘| grasped him. Hesimply said, ‘God help me,’ weakly, submissively, and the sound of those words have never ceased. He did not resist, and I threw him to the floor and tied his hands with a towel. Heaven pity me! Those words,his piteous hand is still up there, reaching out—day- light or dark—it is always, always reach- ing. The years have fled, and I have gone up day and night fascinated. tor- tured by the hope that it has been with- drawn: but it has always been there, and heaven pity me!—it is up there now —now. It is stealing away my life. It has been reached out to stay mein my upward career. Look at me—a wreck! My God, it is the hand of Joel Harkton!” He fell back in his chair overcome, and [sprang up, in fear that my friend was a victim of that terrible, almost incurable. mental disorder—an hallucination. “‘Philip,’’ 1 inquired, earnestly, ‘*are you sure that it is not imagination?” ‘Imagination!’ he repeated, with in- creased terror; ‘‘you mean an hallucina- tion. God help me if it is. I have thought of that. I believe an hallucina- tion is incurable. Let me tell you that my grandfather was tortured to his death by the vision of arat. It is the iron law of heredity. I would rejoice, my friend, if I could only believe that this hand is that of aspirit. Then it might be exor- cised. I am still young enough to achieve something; but that hand grasps the very center of my life, and slowly, surely, it is compressing me to death.

His head had fallen upon his breast, so that his last words had been muffled, and he gripped the knobbed ends of the chair arms as aman suspendedover an abyss would clutch a support. ‘“‘Two months later,’’ he presently re- sumed, ‘‘there came to me indisputable proof that Harkton was innocent. night I sat late in my study—a night like this, with the wind fretting in the boughs and the leaves whispering toeach other before they died.

At the study door, before unlocking it, Philip turned to me, and, holding up the lamp, looked searchingly into my face. A frightful change had come over his own. His eyes were shiny and unsteady. and, for the first time, the chill of a thought far more terrible than of the ghostly hand flew over me—that my old friend was a madman. Realization of my position flashed upon me. I was ina lonely attic, beyond earshot, with a| maniac. I firmly believed the reaching | hand wasadelusion. Should I tell him so? lf I told him I did not see it, would | he not turn upon me with the overpower- | ing rage of a lunatic? Whatever his pur- | | phantasm, and, knowing that the mental | derangement had come to him in the way | |he had related and by heredity, 1 saw j little hope of a cure.

I did not have to look very deep to find | the hand. It had appeared on the night after Philip had learned that Harkton was innocent. Remorse had struck deep into his heart. Naturally sensitive as 1 pose in scrutinizing me, it seemed to be| knew him to be, his wish, torturingly satisfied, and he said: ‘John, you take the lamp, open the door and walk in. I will wait for you here until you tell me if you see it. If I go in, my eyes will be riveted upou it and you will know then where it ap- pears. Have you courage?’’ Without replying 1 took the lamp, while he inserted the key and shoved the bolt. Iturned the knob slowly, trem- blingly, afraid of him as much as of what I might see in the room, and pushed open the door. The close, damp smell of the unused apartment rushed out as I stepped over the sill. It was a small room, with ceiling siant- ing with the roof. In a moment 1 saw that it remained precisely as in the long past—a somewhat gloomy place at any time, but now rendered weird by More- land’s tale. I knew that his two glaring eyes at the threshold followed my every movement, as, holding the lamp up, lL looked about. the book- shelves, the globe, the bust of Horace, the writing table, but nowhere—keenly, eagerly, anxiously as I looked, in the center, in every corner—did I hand. ‘Do you see it?” Philip called out. I hesitated, but I instantly reflected that 1 could not deceive him. Before I could reply, however, he rushed excit- edly, almost ferociously in, snatched the lamp from my hand, and, catching my arm, puiled me tothetable. Then, hold- ing the light toward the end, he pointed with his long forefinger. But I saw nothing. Slowly his head turned around, and his gaze, fierce now, fell upon me. ‘‘Don’t you see it?” he asked hoarsely. ‘“‘No, Philip,” 1 answered, faintly; ‘‘I see nothing.” “There, there,” he almost screamed; ‘right there—two inches from my finger, a hand reaching out from a black spot in the air. There, there—now you see it.” ‘““No, Philip,” I said, ‘‘1 do not see it.” With a low moan he dropped the lamp upon the table and sunk upon his knees, erying: ‘““My God, my God! It isan hallucina- tion.” I was myself so agitated that I cannot tell how I brought him down to his room. He was prostrated. His _ peculiarity, There were see a strengthened by the case of his grand- | an hallucination | father, was to fear more than a spirit hand, and I saw that the fear, now substantiated by my fail- ure to see the vision, would soon torture him to death. In the desperate hope of saving him, I devoted myself to the study | of «apparitions, reading carefully the eases of Bernardotte, Earl Grey, Nicolai and many others. I was speedily con- vinced that Philip was the victim of a | helpless under the circumstances, would | be for forgiveness—a shake of the hand | of the friend whose ignominious and in- | nocent death he had acoomplished. He already believed it to be the hand of Joel | Harkton. If he could be convinced that lit was held out to him for no revengeful purpose, but asa sign that the injured man was willing to forgive, my friend might be saved. Full of this idea, I hastened again to the old house and found Philip in the study, brooding again over the fire. It was a clear November Sunday night; the city resting from its labor—one of those nights of oppressive quiet; the earth, the stars, and the thin crescent, low over the mountain, ing. With as calm and matter-of-fact a man- ner as I could force, I told Philip what I believed to be the purpose of the hand. He sat with his head wearily supported by his hand, and when I had ended, he turned his face, woefully haggard,toward me and answered, despairingly: ‘‘What would you have me do?” “Go up to the study, and accept the offer of forgiveness that has been held out to you for fifteen years.’ I was surprised at the effect. I thought it would be gladly received, but it startled him; his face grew more livid and it set every nerve trembling. He looked at me for some time before his quivering lips would form the words. ‘John, it is just fifteen years to-night since the hand appeared, but--but——” “But what?” ‘*A fearful change has come over me. The hand attracted me before; but it is now horribly repulsive. Oh! 1 cannot go It drew me there last night at and as I looked upon it, I new terror. It has grown old and withered, and it trembled as if the arm that held it were tired and it must soon drop. Oh, heaven pity me! What will come when it falls? I shall die.” I grasped his hands in my intense wish to calm and help him. I saw that his malady had almost run its course, and |that when this phantasy assumed the |form of a dropping hand, he might, in- seeming to be calmly wait- up now. 2 o’clock, shrank from it in ideed, die. I pleaded with him to go with me once again, and finally he yielded. I took up the lamp, and when we reached the study door, Philip nervously unlocked it. The same musty closeness | blew in my face. Butit was not that | which rooted me to the spot—it was an impression, not received by sight, but by i the perception of some other sense, that |there was, indeed, a presence in the | gloomy apartment.

Had my days and nights of study over Had I caught the dreadful mental disorder from him? Was I, too, the victim of an hal- lucination? Philip turned to me, a spasm of agony | writhing on his face. He gave one wild glance at my face, then, clutching me Don’t Buy YOUR SPRING LINES OF Hammocks, ——- Base Ball Goods, & Fishing Tackle | Until you have seen our assortment.

Reach forward and clasp the hand.”’ I saw a look of desperate determina- tion fly across his face. For only a mo- ment he hesitated; then, walking for- ward, he slowly reached out his hand, and I saw his fingers close with those of that reaching hand. Instantly the stillness of the night was broken by fluttering of the air and a cry which seemed to recede rapidly into the distance and silence.

If merchandise received is as ordered, and then found to be not what the re- tailer wanted, the sender is under 0 ob- ligation to receive it back, while the buy- er is bound to keep it. Both buyer and seller should be held to strict accounta- bility in this matter, and should stand the brunt of such faults, like business men, and not seek to creep out of them through the use of subterfuges. If the jobber takes the liberty of sending the retailer goods which he did not order, it is optional with the latter whether he keeps or returns the same. On the other hand, if a retail dealer gives a haphaz- ard, ill-considered order for goods, leay- ing their selection in a great measure to the wholesale house, he should keep such goods, even if they were not exactly suit- able to his wants. In other words, do your own buying, and not let the jobbers do it for you. Sanne din ee The Great Northwest.

There never was a time in the history of agriculture when the application of strict business principles to farming operations more necessary than it is to-day. In the earlier days of farming the investment was mainly in labor. The farming implements were few, crude and many of them home-made. Very little mechanical skill was neces- sary in conducting the work of the farm, and the man who had the best muscles and most endurance, as arule, got the best results from his farm. It is quite different in this day of the sulky plow, the riding cultiyator, self-binder, the steam thresher, the cream separator and the many other ingenious and labor-say- ingappliances. Muscles are now at adis- count and brains at a premium. The farm that is fully equipped with modern machinery is a manufactory, and it should be conducted on the same busi- ness principles that govern every well- conducted manufacturing enterprise. A manufacturer of plows, attempting to conduct his affairs in the haphazard way in which the average farmer manages the business affairs of his farm, would soon go to the wall. He must know toa a cent the cost of everything that is used in the manufacture of his goods, and a reliable system of book-keeping is abso- lutely necessary. The farmer who de- sires to reach the highest possibilities in the results of his farm must be equally as business-like in his methods. Farm book-keeping in the future will be as important a department of accounts as bank book-keeping, and the farmer who who is not a good business man will not be a good farmer. A. &.

At the age of fifteen I could curb my impatience no longer, and one day a lucky accident put me in a position where, as I thought, my dream wasto be realized. My mother had by accident broken a very valuable vase, an heirloom that money could not replace. I had noticed in a newspaper a recipe for mak- ing a good cement for mending all kinds of broken wood, earthenware, leather, ete., and, to mend my mother’s sorrow at the same time, I obtained her consent and the necessary cash for the materials for making a small bateh of this useful article. In a short time it was decocted, and the next day the vase was mended, and looked as good as new. For several days to come I employed myself in mend- ing up all the broken crockery to be found about the house, and I visited several neighbors and mended broken articles of utility, they all pronouncing ita wonderful discovery (mind you, I was not giving away the recipe), and several requested me to sell them a bottle for theirown use. Suddenly, a thought struck me. Eureka! I would make a lot of this wonderful cement and go off on the road with it; 1 would be not only a drummer, but a manufacturer, selling my own production. I confided my plan to my parents, who laughed at the idea but consented to the scheme; | heard my father say to my mother, ‘‘It would be the best way to cure him of this foolishness.” My toy savings bank contained about $4 in small change, the savings of several years, and a sudden run on that bank took place that very day, the proceeds being invested in the various ingredients necessary for the cement, the druggist who sold me the materials kindly giving mea line of credit to the extent of $2.00 for one hundred bottles. In less than forty-eight hours I was ready for the road. with samples of mended china, straps, pieces of wood, etc., all put together with this wonderful ce- ment, of which I had a stock of one hundred bottles, ready to deliver at 30 cents per bottle. and one bright wintry morning, with grip in hand, I started forth on my initial trip. Proud? Well I should say so; 1 was great—in my own estimation. I had gaineda little experience while experimenting among the neighbors with my cement, and I was not going to waste my valuable time on peopleI knew in our town. Oh, no! I was going to travel and see the world, and, consequently, 1 did not stop until I had reached the nearest town, some five miles distant, where | was a total stranger and had a good chance to test my new article, and make sales of the same on its own merits. ‘*Fortune favors those who have cheek.” Selecting one of the finest residences in town, and summoning up all my courage, I rang the bell and was shown in and presented by the servant to the lady of the house. ‘‘Madam,” said I, “I am just introducing a new article of great value to every lady, a cement for mending | broken china, glass, earthenware, wood leather, ete., an article I manufacture myself and have used very successfully | for some time. It is guaranteed to be! fire and waterproof and eosts but a trifle, and, to convince you of its merits, I will | mend, gratuitously, any article you may bring me.” wer said she, ‘‘I broke a very nice | | well can let well enough alone! | no exception to this rule. preserve dish only yesterday, and if you ; choose to try it you can do so.’’ No soon- er said than done, and in fiye minutes the dish was mended, with the advice that it must not be used for twenty-four hours. Five minutes later 1 was depart- ing, having made my first sale—two bottles, 60 cents. To repeat in detail all of my calls would be tiresome, but the result was that, before three days had elapsed, | had visited every prominent house in the village, and had sold my en- tire stock, and was $30 ahead, having paid my board at the country hotel by mending a miscellaneous lot of crockery during the evening, which the obliging proprietor furnished d to assist me. Being now on the road to fortune, I paid 30 cents on the third “day for stage fare, arriving home in the evening as proud as the wealthiest merchant in the State. The demonstration I made on my arrival home to greet my parents was hilarious in the extreme. My next move was in the wholesale line. The very next day 1 bought the materials and bottles, and had labels printed for five hundred bottles more, and at the end of two days I had one hun- dred bottles in my case, and four hun- dred more in four boxes carefully packed in sawdust and sent by stage to four different near-by towns. AgainI started on trip number two. My entire outlay for the second wholesale batch was less than $20, leaving me a surplus of over $10 on the first trip and $150 worth of stock to sell at retail. In two weeks I again returned home, thistime with $140 in cash and ideas and plans larger than a mountain. 1 had also a new prep- aration, for which I had bought the rec- ipe, giving two bottles of cement in payment. The new discovery was a silver plating fluid for re-plating all kinds of brass and metal ware, watches, jewelry, etc., and I concluded that now. being so independent, I would go in on a still larger scale. I obtained my father’s permission to fit up a laboratory in one of the outhouses, and the next move was the production of one thousand bottles each of the cement and silver-plating fluid. About this time I received an order from the local druggist in the first town for two dozen bottles of cement, saying that as he had so many calls for the article, he would have to put it in stock. I fixed the price at $2.50 per dozen, and forwarded his order by stage, without further delay. My parents had at this time become very much interested in my speculation and gave meall the assistance possible. After finishing my last batch of one thousand bottles of each preparation, | proceeded to issue a a business card. The next trip lasted five weeks, and | returned to my home and laboratory with $556 in cash, besides a pocketful of trinkets of various kinds which I had taken in trade. I now began to lay my plans for an extensive business, and I laid out enough trips to last a life time. I figured my prospective profits, and I made out | that I would become a millionaire in ,|from three to five years, beyond all | question. In my mind I built a fifteen- | Story laboratory and employed several , thousand hands in the production of my | article. Alas, how few who are really doing I was On my return from this trip I was interviewed by a PRODUCE MARKET Aenea | Apples—In good demand and firm at present | quotations.
