Lawrenceville Georgia, Tuesday August 12 1884
The long wretched uight that
followed ibis parting foresbsdow
ed aa eventful day. Julian Ware
had been the confidential hook
beeper iu a firm ot which his un
cle was the senior partner When
he went to business next morning
he found the office iu a terrible
state of excitement. Simeon
Ware s name had beeu forged to
a cheque for fifteen hundred dol
lars, and the criminal was still
undetected.
For several days Julian interest
ed himself iu the search for the
felon but a little trifie revealed to
him the fact that he himself was
suspected and watched.
"I will not submit to this indig
nity !” he said to his uucle when
he laid the mailer befor him
“My dear boy,” said the old
man. heart brokenly, “I wish to
heaven you need uoi.”
“Good heavens!’’ cried Juliau.
excitedly, “you do uot mean to tell
me that this opiniou has gained
any credence outside!”
“Calm yourself, Juliau! Calm
yourself, I beg of you. Mv poor
boy, 1 have beeu trying to hide
his from you. It is a most un
fortunate business, but the real
culprit may l e found. 1 will not
leave a stone uu urued.'
“Put uncle —”
“I do not believe you guilty,
Julian; but the world does uoi
know you as 1 do. Cheer up, my
boy. It will all couie right by
aud-by. *’
“Mercilul heaven!’’ the pool
fellow cried, “I cannot bear this,
too.
Fate was cruelly unkind to him.
The weeks passed, and the forgery
could not be fixed upon any one,
but Julian walked under the shad
ow of it.
It was about this time that the
following statement appeared in
one of the daily papers : .
“We regret to learn that the
book-keeper of a certain well
known firm of th s city has been
discharged under the suspicion of
forgery. A relative of this uu
fortunate young man, who firmly
believes in bis boDesty, lias en
deavored to get him started in
business in a foreign port,'but be
has refused to accept the prefer
ment.”
When this appeared, Julian was
lying ill of a wasting fever. They
thought he would die, but became
back from the borders of tbe
grave to struggle with the lead of
misery that seemed to be crushing
him.
Oue day. when he was getting
better, he opened his eyes after a
long sleep, and saw Allegra sitting
at his bedside.
“Why are you here ?” he asked,
putting out his hand doubtfully >
a fter the first thrill cf joy.
“Becan je I love you,” she an
swered. “I never intend to leave
you agaiu, Julian."
“Don’t say that,” he cried. ‘You
must go away at ouce, Allegra.—
This is no place for you "
“I will not go," she cried, pres
sing her lips to his wasted bands.
“Once I refused to marry you, Ju
liau; but uow I have come to ask
you if you will not make me your
wife this very*Bay.”
“Allegra, are you mad ! Would
yon marry me with the suspicion
of felody on me ?”
“Do you think I believe you
guilty *" she cried, with shining
eyes. “Julian, I know you are iu
nocent, and that is enough for
"God bless you,” he mnrmnred,
brokenly; aud a hot tear rolltd
down his white cheek.
Allegra stooped aud kissed it
away.
“Don't, refuse me, Julian ! she
answered. “I love you ?o.
“But 1 urn no* only disgraced,
lam poor I have /oat my posi
tion I will not go to Australia.
I have determined to stay here,
aud wait for the truth to manifest
itself. My life will be lonely and
hard—”
“Do you tbiuk l care for pover

Julian, how little yon know mj

Glegra. I could uot make you

“But i wish it !’’ she urged ea
gerly. “Once you upbraided me,
J uliau, tor refusing to marry you
wheu there really was no obstacle,
and uow you want au idle senti
ment to separate us. 1 love tr.d

Please take me! I need ysu, Ju
lian. Father will not live very
long, and then—”
Julian's arrnv were around her,
protecting even in their weak
uess.
“My angel !' he whispered. -
“How cruelly I have misjudged
you ! Would you make this sac
rifice for me ?’’
“Gladly! washer swift retpeuse
“Ait, Juliau! after all you know
veiy litileot a woman s faith.”
His love was too siroug for his
resolution, and Allegra's will tr>
umphed over all.
As aoou as he was well they
were married, aud went to live in
the cozy iittle cottage where A 1
legras father dreamed away the
twilight of Lis life.
The world raid kind things of
the young couple, mid Julian
Ware had “borne his faculties so
meek," that, long before the truth
came to light, public opinion was
reversed in his favor.
There came a glad time, howev
er, when ilie shadow of crime was
removed from Ins path. A bur-,
glar, shot while breaking into a
bank, confessed the forgery of
which Julian was sus jected.
But Julian never forgot that
two yens’discipline, though ho
says it was wor b all the suffering
he endi red to have snch proof as
he h« s hod of bis sweet wife’s love
and devotion.
Old Mr. Lloyd died the yegr af
ter they were married, aud, when
Juli.n stood before tbe world
once more us a man whose honor
could not be impeached, be was
free to accept his uncle’s offer of
the position at Melbourne, with
twice the original salary.
Allegra went with him of course
and they are new the leaders of
the most bri'liant aud wealthy so

The strike yesterday among the
drivers of ihe “cross town" line
of horse curs in this city affords a
practical illustration of tbe real
service that Governor Cleveland
did the overworked and under
paid car drivers aud conductors
of Aew York in vetoing the so
called “Car Drivers” bill, aud for
which lie has been abused by Mi-
Mills’ Tribune and other Blaine
"eorpoiation orgass
These men un the cross town
lines are puid by the trip, being
allowed the priucely sum of four !
teen cents per inp. The trips, it
seems, have been lessened in dis- !
lance, wheienpon the company
promptly cut, the men down ia
pay, the cut being in exact propoy
lion to the time the men wop«£
have otherwise gained by tu
shortei trip.
The operation of the bill that
Governor Cleveland vetoed would
have lweu exae*-ly similar’ to ibis. I
It reduced the present day’s work
of fourteen or sixteen Lours Wu I
the horse cars le twelve hoif§u.-.1
As the men are paid by trip
the only effect of shortening th?
number of workiug hours us iheir
day would lie to lessen the num
b*r of trips. To lessen the num
her of trips would be to lessen
th« number of times (hey could
earn fourteen cents, for they ere
paid by tAe trip.
AY ere the men paid by the day
the bill would have been a benefit
to them. As they are paid by ike
trip it could only have operated, if
at all, to reduce tueir present sea*
ty earnings.—i-N Y Herald.

A Correspondent of the Provi
dence Jouruu asks • where io look
for the theory that thesocalled
‘Star of Bethlehem' is now a mem
her of the starry family and at
stated periods returns to tlie sight
of mortals?" The theory concern
ing the Star of Bethlehem is bas
ed on a poetical foundation, hav
>ng fir;le to support it. In iLe
year 1572 Tycho Brahe, a Dutch
astronomer, discovered a new star
near ('uph, iu the constellation
Cassiopea. It increased iu brill
iancy until it was as bright as Ve
nus aud could bx easily seen at
noouday. It continued to shine
brightly for a month, then gradu
ally grew dim and in sixteen
mouths disappe-ate 1 from view. It
was looked upon as a new crea -
tion or a aun|un lire, ami the gener
al opinion was that it would nev
er again shine in the star depths.
Forty years later the telescope
was invented. When it was turn
ed to the position in the heavens
occupied by the bla/.iug star a
minute star was found near the
identical spot. This telescope
star is still there and is doubtless
the baiue oue that blazed forth in
1572. Tho discovery that it exist
ed led astrononiers to search astro
nom ical records, and it was found
that similar bright stars had ap
peared iu ihe same region of the
sky in !45 and 12<!4 Countirg
back three periods from !)45 we
ure brought to die near vicinity of
the birth of Christ.
About twenty four of ilieso lem
porary stars huve appeared in the
last two thousand years, subject,
like the star ill Cassiopea, to'sud

turn to their normal insigmti
