He is up to all sorte of contemptible devices for rigging tho share market, and fo,r a tirao is vory successful. ■Heis attended'by a secretary, who appears to aid him in all his schemes. In order to make a riso on some bogus diamond mines, ho introduces to his homo on abandoned French woman and ft vulgar oil mil lionaire, tho Uttxir to bo wheodled into tho

purchase of the mines by tho French decoy. This causes tho wife to dosert hor husband, •and she takon with her hor daughter Violet. The speculator ia loft alone in misery, but he bears a bold front, and intrigues as hard and fast &» over; but suddenly his luck chafijjos, and ho loses money rapidly. His last hops is to sell the mines which ho has purchased for £50,000 to tho millionaire, who has consented to give double that sum ; but just as the deed of sale is about to be signed, Sir Geoffrey quarrels with the French woman, who knows tho mines to bo worthless, and the in revengo thwarts his scheme, and ho becomes a bankrupt.

At this stage hu wifo and child leturn, and the former, forgetting what has been, thinks only of hor husband's prosont degradation and poverty, and begs to be allowed to share his misery. In an instant he becomes a changed man, and resofvos thenceforth to live only to redeem bia name and to make his family happy.

THE MANGARE VENDETTA.

Mr BXoorae Beoelvea a Tbroatenlng

Letter.

Tub enmity which has existed between Mr Macrae, of Mangare, a»d big oolghbours, for a long tims past, appears to haro developed a more eorious phase. This afternoon Mr Macrae was tho recipient of a letter con taining threats of a most reprehensible chnraator. The writer expresses a surpris ing amount of consideration for the personal convenience of Mr Macrae, and with wonderful generosity and motrnanimlty allows him tho period of one month in which to Bottle his worldly affairs, assuring him that the end of the month will find him a dead man. Mr Macrae ia therefore kindly advised to hurry up, arrange his business matters, and prepare himself tor his flight to celestial regions. In his concluding remarks tho writer is lets complimen tary, describing Mr Macrae an a by hell hound. No signatnre is appended to the cheerful document, but at tho foot of tbe note there is a pon and ink eketch of a skull and croesbones beneath. Mr Macrae was ultimately alarmed by the receipt of f is epistle, and placed tho matter in the hands of the police. We understand that the Mangere Rdad Board, in conjunction with the polios, have initiated proceedings against Mr McCrao for having a bull att largo in the district. This is tho same animal which is said to have killed the ranger's horse.
