But, oh, why was he so blind? Why did he not see that yearning look of love that flashed through her eye. He did not however, and more than that, that haughty toss of the head aroused his quick temper. He had expected better things. he had hOped she would fall into his arms or something equally absurd to show her penitence “Keep awa’.” . He was angry and reckless, and spoke ‘ words that sent a cold chill into Jean’s ‘ innermost soul. W What he actually did say he never could tell. When he came to his senses he found himself tearing through a field some five miles from the village. And then, like a. mighty torrent, all that fearful scene came surging through his memoryâ€"the bitter words spoken on both sides. For the first time he really recognized that it was all over between him and Jean. Oh, what a struggle it cost him to go back to the dull, old life, and to face those prying village gossips. -- - 1 1 -Ln ' ""‘n' O I. But he did it. He went regularly 'to church every Sunday, and held his head proudly up, and never deigned to look near J een’s seat, though for that matter he would not have met her eye, for she as persistently ignored him. Thus matters went on for two weary months-«weary, I mean, for the whilom lovers, though they were too proud to show it. Summer glided into autumn, and the crops waved thick and yellow, waiting ,for the scythe; but Alec Boss’s house was still without its mistress Every day from morning till evening the steady ring of the hammer never ceased and many a matron, as she heard it, sighed deeply and declared “ it was sic a peety that that fine young fallow was sae dour.” . I L It was on one of these evenmgs luau: a cluster of village idlers were assembl- ed round the "smiddy" door for their evening chat. The talk was brisk and chiefly on village topics. keeping away of course, from the subject of lovers’ quarrels, as was nght when Alec Ross was there, - ‘ -‘ ‘1- H COD lllll v, A discussion had arisen on the merits and demerits of Peter Clark’s old “coo” when the 8-year-old scion of that worthy himself bolted breathlessly in at the door and gasped out :â€" “Come on, quick.

Flinging down his hammer, Alec darted OE and in a few moments reached the spot ahead of the others. There was a crowd of women and children shouting and crying wildly, and in the , midst of them Jean herself, deathly pale‘ and her hands clasped in desperation. In an instant Alec, fervently blessing himself that he could swim, plunged into the pot and disappeared. The whole crowd held their breaths, afraid l to make a motion,and the seconds look- ed like hours to them as they gazed on the whirling gulf where only an 00' casional bubble rose to reassure them that the rescuer had not shared the fate of the other. , ,E--A -_A Ul guc v .......

He is one of the most expert confidence operators in the United States and has an European reputation as a swindler. The arrest of Anderson calls to mind his meteoric career in Detroit and J ack- son, Mich., from about 1871 to 1882. The fact that after Anderson left this city he turned up at \Vashingvon and was found by acquaintances arm in arm with leading senators and foreign diplomats at the capital gthat he ran a. tony gambling room just off Pennsyl- vania. avenue there 3 that he had credit right and lett, is well remembered. Detroit lost sight of “Gentleman George" for quite a time. Then he came back here, called on those who knew him, told Munchausen tales of wealth, spoke of big interests in stock companies in London and Glasgow, and one day he left, taking his wife and child along. He was seen abroad by acquaintances, and was a veritable “high roller,” He belonged to one of the swell clubs of London, introduced gentlemen whom he knew to lords and ‘clulges, and seemed to have a gold mine, which he worked to the utmost, The3 next from “Gentleman George” was not quite so pleasant, but none the less interesting. He was locked up on the charge of swindling a rich American, residing near Reading, Pa., out of $20, 000. He was tried, convxcted and sent to Chatham prison, London. Eng- land, for five years. His broken-heart- ed wife came back to her parents’ home, near Buchanan, Mich., and everybody thought George Anderson would never be heard of again, as it was given outl that only one man in 100 lived and retained reason and health for five years in Chatham prison. The wise- acres didn’t guess it right, or it may be that Anderson is a remarkable man constitutionally as well as morally. He not only lasted out his sentence in that awful living tomb among the vilest criminals, not one in fifty of whom ever see the light of day again after the gates have shut them in for }punishment, but he comes back little jchanged in looks as to age and none at lall as to morals. Anderson dropped into Jackson many years ago from no one knows where. He was soon admitted to the bar and later ran for judge of probate, but was defeated. After his defeat he1 concocted a scheme to go to Washing- ton as a pension agent. There he kept afloat by cards and cast borrowed of those whom he could “touch.” Get- ting a sum from a credulous relative in Eaton county, whom he had made believe there was a big eSLate waiting to be claimed it bcotland, he visited Europe. n ,1-_-:.... ”.55.“... of the prospects of the inheritance being all ready to pluck that he received several additional sums from relatives. Some months after he returned and call- ed a. conference of all his relatives. He told them the Scottish estate was theirs; he could get it, but he must have cretain papers signed to him to successfully prosecute the claim. He had pictures of the castle on the covet- ] 4L-” ~-:6‘An “an 1’." g... '1 ed acres, andnhe showed them written documents. He had a. satchel full of them. Many of these bore foreign seals; others were from Washington. 110., an“ ..v Liv. Whitney became frightened atter‘ he let go of the money. Hebegan en- quiry. This ended in an exposure which shook all London. It was found that ‘ Gentleman George’ was not the croesus he claimed to be, and was only an im- pecunious American swindler. But he had ‘downed’ the whole lot. Hundreds “of swell Londoners had been beaten. Mr. Anderson left the Chatham penal :en‘ instituteayear and a half ago. He came back to his old stamping ground and began his old games.~ This time his reputation was too notorious and he has come to grief early in his career but not before many or his victims have handed over sums to him, which the smooth talk and insinuating man- nerof ‘Gentleman George‘ rarelyfails to bring forthâ€"Ex. The British House of Commons Thurs- day re-elected the Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel as speaker. The revenue returns at Toronto in J ulv, 1892. were upwards of $13,000 in excess of the returns for the same month last year. Charles M. Howe, a heavy real estate dealer of Buffalo, IS said to have gone to Canada His financial embarrassment is considerable. A committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce of Grand Forks, Dak.,has issued a. call fora conference to consider reciprocity with Canada. Early Monday morning the residence of Mr. Robert Young, lot 35, concession 5, of Greenock township, was burned, and two sons, Thomas, aged 16, and George, aged 12, perished in the flames. The London Times and Standard both comment on the demands of Messrs. Mc- Carthy and Redmond in behalf of evicted tenants and dynamiters, as foreshadow- ing trouble for Mr. Gladstone. v ‘ 5. Kg.
