NEWBERG,
X IV .
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-

,asi«d what he meant. He stopped

hend.
“ You don’ t mean,” I said, “ the
famous French Bastille?— the fortress
prison of Paris?”
“ That’ s it,” said he. “ You’ veread,
I suppose, in your history books of the
taking of the Bastille, and the man
that was governor at that time, De
Lacroix;— that’s the family. 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.”

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!
My w ord!”

S O U T H C H I C A G O FIREBUG.
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.

Retailer« Determined that Comumcri Shall be

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.
