BY J. M ACLAREN COBBAN. I went in the morning and discovered how tiie strange tints of the water were produced. The pond was fed by a run let, which flowed at the bottom of the bank on one side of the lane called by the name of Lacroix. This lane, I had already learned, had lieen in other days the private carriage drive of the first lacroix (before a Steinhardt had been heard .ft from his f,..^ .............. ... his dye works and his model farm. The mansion, with its noble rookery, had long ago become the prey of the omniv orous speculative builder; the model farm had disappeared, all but the farm house which, squeezed into a sordid corner of the spreading village, was now let out in tenements; a Steinhardt now reigned in the Lacriox dye works and, in his scorn of the past, was in the habit of “ tipping” his aniline refuse down amohg tlie tree roots of the cher ished avenue, narrowing more and more the already constricted channel of the little stream, and poisoning and discoloring the once clear flow of water in the whole neighborhood. This it was which washed color into the pond and gave it its varying tints. I 8too.I thus in some doubt and great indignation— doubt whether Miss La croix’s dr, ijn might not after all be capable of as simple an explanation as I had found for the tints of the pond, and indignation at what I saw around me. I had never before ventured into Lacroix lane; I now passed under its wretched dying trees, along the brink of its cinder mud, ploughed a foot deep into ruts by lumbering coal carts and wagons, and fancied it metamorphosed back into the private, shady, well-kept avenue of the first Lacroix. I had walked almost the whole length of the lane when I met Mr. Birley, Mrs. Steinhardt’ s brother “ J im .’ ’ ‘ Ah, there you are,” he called cheer ily, when he espied me, “ I was just coming to look you up and take you round a bit; there’ s not much ‘ biz’ do ing, and so I ’ ve taken a holiday.” After greeting I gave vent to the in dignation of which I was full. We re turned along the lane. " W e ll,” said he, laying his hand on my shoulder, “ it’ s not nice of course,” — standing and surveying the lane. “ Hut it’ s uo* for you or me to mend it; though I’ m joint guardian with ’ Man uel of Paul’ s g irl” (he meant Miss La croix), “ I ’ ve nothing to do with the property, and ’ Manuel, you see, can’ t bear to spend the brass, and doesn't care a— well, a button— for Paul's fam- Poor Pauli lie was a good IjifgHpose the name Lacroix is i-’TaKie JacUtuid it lias lieen what you lows would call historical.” ,asi«d what he meant.

The poor old fellow was killed in the streets, I believe.” Thus lie went on, with much fullness of irrelevant detail. I gathered these feats of consequence which I here set dow n:—At the time of the great emi gration of French nobility to this coun try, a member of the De Lacroix family found his way to (.aneashire with one or two dependents, a packet of jewels, and some scientific learning, and with out his aristocratic prefix " d e .” He prospected about a little, and at length invested the money he got for his jew els in the Turkey red and Indigo dye works of Timperley. He prospered. He was one of the first to apply chem ical science to the manufacture of dyes. He made a large fortune, and became the great man of the neighborhood. He had, however, a family of four sons who gave him great trouble. They almost ruined their father and quite broke his heart before their several courses of extravagance anil debauchery came to an end. The eldest, Paul’ s father, drew up just in time, married and settled down to the business; another broke his neck in a steeple chase; the third died of delirium trem ens, or worse and the fourth still ex isted, for he could scarcely be said to Jive: he wa» the tongue and limb-tied paralytic, known as old Jaques, who in habited the little octagonal house near the pond, which had been the lodge of his father's model farm. Paul had wished him to make his house his home, bat he insisted on settling down there. Thi» sad and fateful story lay heavy- on my mind and heart for the rest of the day. In the evening I took down the first volnme of Carlyle's French Revolution, and read with new interest the wonderful pa-sages in which he de scribes the taking of the Bastille by the mob, and the part which the old officer of the fortress played in its hopeless defence. Alter that I sat down and wrote to a pair of London friends, asking them to make certain inquiries concerning Mr. Lacroix. three weeks. But I had little time for rumination and no time at ail for visits to Tipmerley Hall until Whitsuntide was past. Whitsuntide is the great festival in the Lancashire calendar. Then mills and pits are idle for a week, and the work people have a spell of serious enjoyment, and wearing of new summer clothing, fur which money has been saved from ChristuiaBtide or earlier. Some go on jaunts to the sea side for tli» week of for a day or two; hut the recreations and dissi|>atioii8 of the multitude are those connected with the Sunday schools, which are gigantic and popular institutions; the time and attention (often to little purpose) that clergymen are expected to give to them can hardly be conceived by those who hold cures in the south. One day there is a grand procession round the parish of scholars and their friends arrayed in tlieir new finery, accompanied by flaunting banners and a blatant brass band, and headed by tlieir clergyman. The procession halts at fixed points, forms into mass and sings hymns, led by the brass band, while the banners take up positions to display their hide ous devices and pictures. For another day a short excursion in wagons, with tea or milk and buns, and games are arranged for the benefit «specially of the younger scholars; and for a third day a long railway excursion for the others. All these arrangements I had to undertake (some of them much against the grain, I confess; for I pre fer to go through the parish as through life, unaccompanied by instruments of brass)— to undertake alone, along with all the duties more properly parochial and clerical; for the rector was still too ill to attend to anything. For three weeks or so, therefore, I had no time to rumintae upon extrane ous matters, and no time to spend at Timperlev Hall. But I then made an acquaintance that considerably influ enced the later events of my story— Mr. Freeman, the minister of a quaint lit tle Dissenting Chapel in the village. We encountered first on the day of the procession in the Lacroix lane. He was marching along from the opposite direction to us at the head of his mod est and silent troop; the lane was nar row; he halted, took off liis hat, and smiled (while I could do no less in re turn), and he and his pooplo (some of them w ith reluctance, I have no doubt) stood aside to let our noisier and more imposing procession pass. That was our introduction. When the Whitsun tide matters were all disposed of, he called on me one evening to ask me to be chairman at a lecture lie was about to deliver in the little public hall of the village on some point of the land ques tion. I was somewhat taken aback by his request, and I suppose I showed that I was. “ You are surprised, I daresay, Mr. Unwin,” said he, with a little con strained laugh (he was a bright, genial little man, with a big, red beard). “ I I will explain why I ask you?— because, I understand, you, like myself, come from the south, where pure streams, and clear skies, and healthy trees may he seen, but especially because I be lieve you are the only man in the neighborhood who holds sometliig like the same opinions as I do; my friend, Mr. Birley, has told me of the talks he has had with you about the way our Lancashire friends treat nature." “ Your friend, Mr. Birley,” I ex claimed. “ Yes,” said he, with a comical twin kle in his eye, “ Mr. Birley and I meet not on theological, hut on simply human common ground, and he is the friend of everyone who knows his good heart.” I began to like my visitor, I agreed to act as his chairman, and we t hen settled down to talk. On the evening of the lecture I took my place on the platform in a consid erable flutter of nervousness. There was a large attendance of work folk, with a fair sprinkling of well-to-do peo ple from the neighborhood, brought to gether, I suppose, as much by curiosity to see two parsons of conflicting creeds together as by interest in the subject of the lecture. I observed on a hack seat Mrs. Steinhardt and Frank, Miss Lacroix and our friend, Mr. Birley. Steinhardt himself was not there. On rising I was astonished to find myself greeted with rounds of applause, and on explaining in a few words how I came to be where I was, I was cheered with such hearty vociferation, that I concluded I had become, without know ing it, a popular personage. I accepted the explantion Mr. Freeman gave me afterward:— “ It was a brave and risky thing to do, you know, to appear with me; and these Lancashire folk above all things admire a bit of pluck against odds.” _________ Y A M IIIL L I starco n speechless surprise— lesr at the actual question than at its dic tatorial tone. 11 is complexion was usually very ruddy; it now became a curious purplish red, even to his eyes and his bald crown, as if lie had been dipped in a vat of liis choicest dye. “ You mustn’ t do that kind of thing, you know, you’ ll spoil your chances in the church; and, more than that, I can’ t have you and him disturbing my workpeople, and setting them against me. I can’ t say anything to him, but I must tell you I can’ t have it; it won’ t do at a ll." “ I don’ t know,” I answered, “ what right you have, Mr. Steinhardt, to talk to me in this fashion.” I was angry. He moved about the glasses and decanters near him. “ What right? Your salary comes out of my pocket; your rector can’ t pay it.” “ That,” said I, “ is a matter between you and the rector, sir.” “ Perhaps it is. But I want to tell you that I must be master in this vil lage; and if you are bent upon interfer ing with me, or between me and the people, you shall go away— that’ s all. You keep to your preachings, and your visitings, and your tea meetings,” he continued, in a tone, doubtless, meant to be placatory, “ and you will do very w ell.” “ I take it to he my duty, Mr. Stein- hardt,” I replied ,“ to concern myself with whatever affects the welfare of the people; and, to my mind, the dreadful condition of the valley, and— ” “ Oh,— d—d sentimental nonpenso!” lie exclaimed. “ The valley is here for us to make money out of the best way we can.” “ It is, of course, of no consequence that I don’ t agree with you,” said I ; “ but as to what I shall think or say on these or any other matters, I can cer tainly take no orders from you, sit. You must excuse me saying it.” “ Very w ell.” He sat a moment in silence, fingering his glass; he seemed not to have expected this conclusion. Then he rose and said, as if he wore quite unconscious of having treated me with rudeness. “ Wo had better join the ladies.” “ If you w ill excuse me,” said I, “ I think I must say good night.” “ Eh?” He looked at me in some surprise. “ Oh, you should talk to the women a little while at any rate. But just as you please.” The invitation was exasperatingly unconcerned, but, thinking this was hut his haliituanlly churlish Teutonic way, and that if I did not appear in the drawing room the ladies might lie dis tressed, I accompanied him. Both of the ladies glanced at me rathor curi ously; probably I showed signs of dis composure. Boon Mr. Steinhardt with drew to liis study and his pipe. “ You’ ve been having words with Emmanuel, Mr. U n w in ," said Mrs. Bteinhardt, almost as soon as her hus band was gone. “ It’ s all about that dreadful lecture affair, I suppose. He thinks you've gone against him in it, and Emmanuel can’ t bear to be gone against.” (The good lady always pro nounced her husband's name with a lofty sense of its scriptural prestige.) “ I do not see” said I, still rather sore, “ that Mr. Bteinhardt should ex pect to have his own way everywhere and in everything, any more than an other man.” “ Mr. Bteinhardt,” said Miss Lacroix, “ is now alone in liis authority, now that father is gone, and he is by his nature what you would say a despot — oh, yes, dear Mrs. Steinhardt, he is— if any one is not obedient to him he is not nice at all. He said hard, rude, cruel things to voti, Mr. Unwin— in deed, yes,” said she in answer to my look of surprise, “ I know lie did ; I folt him saying them all the tim e —and lie- sides, I saw him saying them with his eyes ail dinner time. But you must not trouble about his words; they come from his nature, which he cannot help, I suppose.” “ What things, to be sure, you do say, Louise!” exclaimed Mrs. Btein hardt. “ ami what eyes you have got!

Seventeen Incendiary Firti were Started Dur ing One Night Chicago, April 15.— Alter extinguish ing 10 fires yesterday, most of them close together, and apparently of in cendiary origin, the firemen of South Chicago at daybreak today were railed upon to coutend with the most serious of the long string of blazes. The first of this morning's fires con sumed a ham containing several horses. St. Patrick’ s church came next, and was destroyed before the firemen could reach it. Scarcely had they reached the church w hen they were recalled to fight a dangerous looking fire at W il lard Sons hell forge works. After a hard fight here the flames were checked. Means bile the warehouse of the Wash ington Ice Company had caught fire, and before tiie flames were subdued $5,000 damage »had been done. The Calumet theater came next, sustaining $10,000 damage before the fire was ex tinguished. A four story structure, haviug a feed store on the ground Moor, and dwellings above, was discovered to he burning before the theater fire was put out. Two families escaped in tlieir night clothes. The building was destroyed. Meanwhile a saloon had burned down. The total loss of this m orning's fires is put at $50,000. As the buildings were not near each other, the firemen declare that the fires were the work of an incendiary. The people of Boutli Chicago were greatly alarmed by tiie rapid work of the firebug. The financial loss in the fires yester day amounted to $00,000. Evidence of incendiarism was so convincing, however, that citizens joined the police in patrolling tiie streets in an effort to guard property and capture the incen diary or incendiaries. In spite of the extra precautions, however, today’s fires were started. Citizens were le- wildered at the attack, and daylight was welcomed with great relief. M E A T FAMIN E IN E N G L A N D . Retailer« Determined that Comumcri Shall be Made to Suffer. London, April 15.— The so-called meat famine, which has lieen exploited throughout the Ilriti-h press, has be come a matter of keen interest to Lon doners, who hitherto have not been affected by the prevailing scarcity. A careful canvass of London shows that the retailers at tiie present time are tiie sole sufferers by the advance in the wholesale price, which amounts to a penny |ier pound on all grades or meat. Since January, the majority of the re tailers have lieen running tlieir busi ness without profit, liecause lack of or ganization prevented a uniform in crease of prices. A meeting, however, has been called, which undoubtedly will result in a uniform increase in the price of meat on the part of retailers throughout Iyondon. O F F I C E FOR T H E PRESIDENT.
