It was too far for me to see her face, tout the whole attitude expressed such suffering that it was terrible to see. What was more, her position put her 9n range of every shot the cowboys anight lire at the five as they charged. If I could have stopped them I would have done so, but, since that was im­ possible, I dried: "Mr. Camp, 111 surrender the let­ ters." . ' "Hold oh, hoys," shouted Baldwin; "wait till we get the property he fitole." And, coming through the -crowd, he threw the noose off my meek. - "Dcn't shoot, Mr. Cullen," I yelled, as my friends halted and raised their rifles, and, fortunately, the cowboys had opened up enough to let them bear me and see that. I was free of the rope. Escorted by Camp, Baldwin and the cowboys, I walked toward them. On •the way Baldwin said, in a low voice, '"Deliver the letters, and we'll tell the troys there has been a mistake. •Otherwise--" 1 When we came up tor the five, I •called to them that I had agreed to ^surrender the letters. While I was •saying it, Miss Cullen joined them, and it was curious to see how respect­ fully the cowboys took off their hats :and fell back. 1 "You are quite right," Mr. Cullen -called. "Give them the letters 'at •once," "Oh, do, Mr. Gordon,** said Madge, rfttill white and breathless frith emo­ tion. "The money is nothing. Don't think--" It was all she could say. I felt pretty small, but with 'Camp And Baldwin, now reinforced by Judge IWilson, I went to the station, ordered -the agent to open the safe, took out •the three letters, and handed them to Mr. Camp, realizing how poor Madge -must have felt on Hance's trail. It was a pretty big take down to my ftride,. I tell you, and made all the worse by the way the three gloated -over the letters and over our defeat. "We've taught you a lesson, young man," sneered Camp, as after opening -the envelopes, to assure himself that -the proxies were all right, he tucked 4hem into his pocket. "And we'll teach you another one after to-day's -election." . Just as he concluded, we heard out­ ride the first note of a bugle, and as It sounded "By fours, column left," ny heart gave a big jump and the jlood came rushing to my face. Camp, Baldwin and Wilson broke for the door, but I got there first, and pre­ sented their escape. They tried to force their way through but I hadn't tblocked and interfered at football for diothlng, and they might as well have •tried to break through the Sierras. Discovering this, Camp whipped out ;iiis gun, and told me to let them out. Being used to the West, I recognized •the goodness of the argument and Stepped out on the platform, giving -them free passage. But the twenty seconds I had delayed them had cook­ ed their goose, for outside was a ssguadron of cavalry swinging a circle •round the station, and we had barely treached the platform when the bugle Hsounded "Halt," quickly followed by -"Forward left." As the ranks wheeled jand closed up as a solid line about us, ^ could have cheered with delight. There was a moment's dramatic hush, -in which we could all hear the breath­ ing of the winded horses, and then came the clatter of sword and spurs, .as an officer sprang from his saddle. "I want Richard Gordon,". the of- -fleer called. I responded, "At your service, and badly in need of yours, Captain Sing- f Hope the delay hasn't spoilt 5s," said the captain. "We had a '"dive me those letters," the captain interrupted. , -«ursed fool of a guide, who took' the Wong trail and ran lis into Limestone • £anon, where we had to camp for the v night." I explained the situation as quickly -as I could, and the captain's eyes gleamed. "I'd have given a bad quar- -ter to have got here ten mlnute3 soon- »erv and ridden zay men over those .scoundrels," he muttered. "I Baw »:them scatter as we rode up, and if I'd known what they'd been doing T^e'd 1'have given them a volley." Then he walked over to Mr. Camp and said, • "Give me those letters." , "Do ycu intend a highhanded inter­ ference with the civil authorities?" Wtsoo demaadeu. "Come, come," said the captain, sternly. "You have taken forcible possession of United States property. Any talk about civil authorities is rubbish, and you know it." "I will never--" cried Mr. Camp. "Corporal Jackson, dismount a guard of six men," rang the captain's voice, interrupting him. Evidently something in the voice or order convinced Mr. Camp, for the let­ ters were hastily produced and given to Singer, who at once handed them to me. I turned with them to the Cul- lens, and, laughingly, quoted,, " 'All's well that ends well.' " But they didn't seem to care a bit about the recovery of the letters, and only wanted to have a hand-shake all round over,my escape. Even Lord Ralles said, "Glad we could be of a little service," and didn't refuse my thanks, though the deuce knows they were badly enough expressed, in my consciousness that I had done an un- gentlemanly trick over those trousers of his, and that he had been above re­ membering it when I was in real dan­ ger. I'm ashamed enough to confess 1 fl CHAPTER XVI. I made believe not to see It. that when Miss Cullen held out her hand I made believe not to see it. I'm a bad hand at pretending, and I saw Madge color up at my act. The captain finally called me off to consult about our proceedings. I felt no very strong love for Camp, Baldwin or Wilson, but I didn't see that a military arrest would accomplish any­ thing,'and after a little discussion it was decided to let them alone, as we could well afford to do, having won. This matter decided, I said to the captain, "I'll be obliged if you'll put a guard round my car. And then, If you and your officers will come inside it, I have a--something in a bottle, rec­ ommended for removing alkali dust from the tonsils." "Very happy to test your prescrip­ tion," responded Singer, genially. I started to go with him, but I couldn't resist turning to Mr. Camp and his friends and saying: "Gentlemen, the G. S. is a big affair! but it isn't quite big enough to fight the U. S." A Gloomy Good-by. At that point my importance ceased. Apparently seeing that the game was up, Mr. Camp later in the morning asked Mr. Cullen to give him an inter­ view, and when he was allowed to pass the sentry he came to the steps and suggested: "Perhaps we can arrange a compro­ mise between the Missouri Western and the Great Southern?" "We can. try," Mr. Cullen assented. "Come into my car." He made way for Mr. Camp, and wa3 about to fol­ low him, when Madge took hold of her father's arm, and, making him stoop, whispered something to him. "What kind of a place?" asked Mr. Cullen, laughing. .1 "A good one," his daughter, replied. I thought I understood what was meant. She didn't want to rest under an obligation, and so I was to be paid up for what I had done by promotion. It made me grit my teeth, and if I hadn't t iught myself not to swear, be­ cause of my position, I could have given Sheriff Gunton points on curs­ ing. I wanted to speak up right there and tell Miss Cullen what I thought of her. Of the interview which took place inside 218, I can speak only at second­ hand, and the world knows about as well as I how the contest was com­ promised by the K. & A. being turned over to the Missouri Western, the ter­ ritory in Southern California being divided between the California Cen­ tral and the Great Southern, and" a traffic arrangement agreed upon that satisfied the G. S. That afternoon a Missouri Western board for the K. & A. was elected without opposition, and they in turn elected Mr. Cullen presi­ dent of the K. & A.; so when my re­ port of the holdlng-up went in. he had the pleasure of reading it. I closed it with a request for instructions, but I never received any, and that ended the matter. I turned over the letters to the special agent at Flagstaff, and I suppose his report is slumbering in some pigeon-hole in Washington, for I should have known of any attempt to bring the culprits to punishment. Mr. Cullen had taken a big risk, but came out of it tfith a great lot of money, for the Missouri Western bought all his holdings in the K. & A. and C. C. But the scare must have taught him a lesson, for ever since then he's been conservative, and talks about the foolish of inves.'jrs jet » orv thqr five per csat or who thick of any thins Imt §eoi railroad bonds. As for myself, a month after these occurrences I was appointed superin­ tendent of the Missouri Western, which by this deal had become one oi the largest railroad systems in the world. It was a big step up for so young a man, and was of course pare favoritism, due to Mr. Cullen s Influ­ ence. I didn't stay in the position long, for within two years I was of­ fered the presidency of the Chicago & St. Paul, and I think that was won on merit Whether or not, I hold the position still, and have made my road earn and pay dividends right through the panic. All this is getting away ahead of events, however. The election delay­ ed us so that we couldn't couple on to No. 4 that afternoon, and conse­ quently we had to He that night at Ash Fork8. I made the officers my excuse for keeping them away from the Cullfens, as I wished to avoid Madge. I did my best to be good com­ pany to the bluecoats, and had a first- class dinner for them on my car, but I was in a pretty glum mood, which even champagne couldn't modify. Though all necessity of a guard ceas­ ed with the compromise, the cavalry remained till the next morning, and, after giving them a good breakfast, about six o'clock we shook hands, the bugle sounded, and off they rode. For the first time I understood how a fellow disappointed in love comes to enlist (To be continued.) jHoisy Cities in Ancient Day*. Modern cities are not as noi^f as those of other days. For example, in London in the time of King George IL the streets were still cobbled and the pack horse of Elizabethan memory had been replaced by heavy carts and wagons. Barrels of beer and heavy cases were dragged about on drays of iron without wheels and to add to the tumult heavy signs in immense frames of ironwork hung out in front of shops and houses, and creaked in­ terminably. Street cries never ceased for a moment all day. All the smaller necessaries, such as pins, thread, string, ink, straps, fish, milk, cakes, bread, drugs, herbs, matches* were hawked in the streets. Belief in Charms. The Parisienne has an idea that when lucky charms fail unlucky ones may succeed. Thus she seeks eagerly lifter various curious little emblems, such as these: A peacock's tail feathers in enamel, a little bunch of green ribbons, a tiny pair of crossed knives suspended from a ring, a round tablet of fold bearing the num­ ber 13, a cracke^ mirror chapn or a single eye--presumably an evil one-- pointed upon a plaque. These are supposed to bring good luck when the usual lucky ones fail, just as the number 13 and the opal are claimed as individual luck brlngers by cer> tala English believers in their power for good. True Churchill Assurance. Here is a new story about Mr. Win­ ston Churchill. When he was In South Africa as the correspondent of the Morning Post he was lunching with the general and his staff at the bottom of Spion Kop while the battle was raging above. One of the officers bantered the young correspondent on his assurance and success. "No doubt," he said, "you have got on sur­ prisingly well, but you owe it all to the fact that you are Randy's son." "Sir," replied Winston, with his characteristically superb audacity, "the time is coming when Lord Ran­ dolph Churchill will be chiefly remem­ bered as the father of Winston Churchill." Call it Quits. "Mabel," said Archibald, "now that we are engaged we should have no secrets from each other, should we, dear?" "No," said Mabel, after she had as­ sured herself that her mother was not listening in the next room. "Well, then," he continued, "do pleace tell me just how old you are." "With pleasure." said Mabel. "But first, Archibald, please tell me just how much you get a week." Archibald pondered. His mind ran ahead into the future. "Forgive me, Mabel," he responded, "tt jf*s none of my business to ask." Red Hair and Kettledrum*. *frhat is the connection between red-haired men and kettledrums?" asked a woman at the opera. "Well, you needn't laugh," she went on a bit warmly as her companion smiled. "I've been coming to the op­ era for the past dozen years, and it's like the red-haired girl and the white horse--you never see one without the other. "There seems to be some psycho­ logical principle involved. Only the men with red or auburn hair have a genius for the instruments. You watch and see if it's not so."-l|i<ew York Sun. * % Limit to His Jurisdiction. Judge Johnson, a retired Judge of the district of Blackstone, was elect­ ed selectman of the town. The town appropriated money each yfear for con­ creting a certain amount of sidewalks, the abutters to pay half the cost of the work. One day the judge became involved in an argument with one of the abut­ ters, and losing his temper told him to "go to h--1." "Say, Judge, ain't you going out of your jurisdiction? I thought Wor­ cester was as far as you could send any one." the abutter replied.--Boston Herald. Cant Lose it.

Xspt Safely in Publif ; - v-vW Place. • A NEW HEATER. The device illustrated below is In­ tended to supply the need for an in­ dividual hat, coat and umbrella rack, so that anyone who visits a public place, such as a hotel, restaurant, hall or other place Of popular gathering, may have a rack of his own under lock f INDIVIDUAL RACK FOR GARMENTS. and key, and adapted to secure the ar­ ticles he has to deposit temporarily against exchange or deliberate theft. It frequently occurs that a valuable hat, coat or other garment disappears by exchange when a number of persons have to hang up similar articles to­ gether and leave them without attend­ ants. This rack is intended to avoid mistakes of this character and to af­ ford absolute protection to guests and patrons, giving each person his or her own rack, which can be securely locked until opened by a key in the possession of the owner of the gar­ ments. The rack is in the form of a fancy wooden box, inside of which are the necessary hooks, etc., for hold­ ing the garments. The door Is hinged at one side, and after being swung into locked position, the garments' can­ not be pulled out. The hat is held against removal by a knob which presses against the rim. TEACHES PARROTS TO TALK Application of the Phonographic Ap­ paratus to the Education of v the Birds. Adaptation of the Incandescent Man- ibs Heattaf;|^*|||'- < paratus. The invention of the Welsbach man­ tle marked a distinct advance in meth­ ods of gas-lightiHg. It is now common, and its advantages and disadvantages are familiar to most users. We are now told that the incandescent mantle may be applied also to heating-apparatus J. Laffargue in an article on "Radio- Incandescent Grates" in La Nature ex­ plains the process as follows: 'The incandescent mantle has hith­ erto been used only for lighting pur­ poses. Mr. Delage, a chemical engi­ neer, has devised a new mantle, made of radio-incandescent substances, hav­ ing pronounced calorific qualities, which can not fail to be useful in do­ mestic heating. It is an application of the most recent discoveries regarding the properties of rare earths and radi­ ant bodies. The heating-mantle in question is composed of a new mixture of rare earths in which the dominant active substance is cerium, which has a very high radiating power. It may be estimated that such a mantle radi­ ates 100 per cent, more heat than a Welsbach mantle of the same weight, on a burner. A Welsbach mantle trans­ forms the obscure heat of a blue-flame burner into luminous radiations whose spectrum is specially rich in yellow and green rays with some blue and lit­ tle red. The heating mantle gives a spectrum made up of red and infra-red rays, encroaching much on the invis­ ible part, but rich in heat-rays. The output of the apparatus may be con­ sidered as 40 per cent, greater than that of the devices hitherto known. "This apparatus gives out no more poisonous products than the Wels­ bach devices used for illumination; the burners are precisely the same. A heating-apparatus is composed, as shown in the diagram, of a number of intensive gas-burners (A) disposed in a row. Above each of the burners is placed a mantle (B) called the radio- Incandescent body. The mantles are heated by the flame of the burners; they are almost nonluminous, but emit a very intense .heat morizontally. "The burners are grouped in the de­ vice, but each is Independent and has That the phonograph Is now used with success to teach parrotB to talk is asserted by the Technical World, j Says this magazine: ) "The teaching of parrots to talk has occupied the attention of bird enthusi­ asts for many years, but it has re- ' mained for one Mrs. Hope, of Phlladel phia, to utilize a modern Invention to | relieve the weary tedium of teaching i Polly. The parrot learns by sound, not by the sense of what it hears, and it is POLLY LEARNING FROM PHONO­ GRAPH. only by machine-like repetition of the sentence that Polly can be made to talk. Mrs. Hope has done away with the necessity for this drudgery by plac­ ing a phonograph close to Polly's perch and, by keeping the talking machine repeating for hours at a time the sen­ tence which the parrot is to learn, she accomplishes the best and quickest re­ sults. In this way the parrot will learn a sentence in a week, while to become proficient in a number of sen­ tences requires about six months." Difficult Case for Bavarian Judges. The Bavarian courts have had a complicated question of law to decide. A cat, chased by a dog, ran into a stable where a cow was being milked. The cat Jumped on the back of the cow, which kicked' the milkmaid off her stool. Whom should the niald sue for damages--the owner of the dog, the owner of the cat, or the own­ er of the cow? The courts have de­ cided that they are all three equally responsible, and each will have to pay One-third of the damages. Old Coins Found.' An Important discovery has been made at Rushan castle, in the Isle oil Man, which dates from the tenth cen­ tury, the foundations of a minting house having been unearthed. The sunken fireplace is almost perfect, and portions cf the crucibles, soma copper dross, and a large number of Derby coins were found. It is conjectured that here were minted the coins which the Stanleys made currency when kings of Man. A New Pen. Siemens and Halske, the noted en­ gineers of Berlin, announce that they have invented a pen made from taiita- lite, which is practically indestructible. Sheets of tantalite are the hardest ot known metals, and a pen made from them is said to be harder, yet more elastic, than one of steel, and more pli­ able than the gold nib. * Screen Against Z-Bay.

Thus a satisfactory degree of control is assured. There is never observed a setting back of the flame, nor explosion, nor whistling, nor flame that deposits Boot owing to scarcity of air-supply, nor lack of sym­ metry and consequent poor control of the flames. It Is possible to put out one of four burners out of five, if it is desired to lessen the heat-supply, and this arrangement is much prefer­ able to that In which the flames are turned up or down together. The way in which the mantles are mounted on the burners makes it easy to handle them. . . . The whole collection forms a rigid body which may be lifted up and carried about at will. On the fore­ going principles numerous types ot grate have been devised. A riSH TRAP. Entirely New Scheme for Catching Eels and Catfish as Animals Are Trapped. The genuine fisherman thinks ir.o of getting "bites" than he does of really landing the fish. He may sit on the bank of the stream all day and not a fish to show for the day's sport, but if he has had a few dozen bites, he will be satisfied. To this class of fishermen the trap shown here will be of little Interest. The inventor han FOR CATCHING EELS AND CATFISH utilized the principles of the animal traps and adapted them for use in the water. There is little chance pf the fish getting away, once he is im­ paled, and the latter is easily accom­ plished. The trap is suspended in the water on a dipsy, the bait being on the end of a line in the center. When the fish pulls on the bait a spring is released, bringing the sections to­ gether and impaling him. It was de­ signed particularly for catching eels and catfish, effectually preventing their escape. Opera Written by Millionaire. The new operetta, "The Clown," was composed by a Parisian millionaire.

SOME NICE DESSERTS. Delicious Cup Custards, a Cocoanuft Padding Worth While and a Fine Chocolate Pudding. t Cup Custard.--Three pints of rich sweet milk, five eggs, well beaten (re­ serving the whites of two). Sweeten ths milk io taste, flavor with a large teaspoonful of vanilla extract, add the beaten eggs, stir well, and pour the mixture into custard cups, place them in a j^an of cold water, having the water reach a little more than half way up the sides of the cups. Place the pan in a well-heated oven, and let cook till the custard is set firm. Whip the reserved whites until stiff, and put a spoonful of it on top of each custard, and in the center of this put a lump of red currant' Jelly. Serve hot or cold in cups it Is baked in. Cocoanut Pudding.-- One freshly grated cocoanut, sweetened with two cups of sugar, add six well-beaten eggs; when well mixed, add two cup- ful3 of sweet cream, beat and pour into a buttered pudding dish. Bake until well thickened, then spread over the top a thick covering of sweetened, whipped cream. Chocolate Pudding.--rOne quart of sweet milk in which is well mffced four ounces of grated chocolate, one large cupful of sugar, five well-beaten eggs (reserve the white of one). Mix together, pour into a buttered bowl, tie this firmly in a pudding bag and boil steadily for two hours. The boil­ ing water should not reach above the edge of the bowl. When done, spread over the top a frosting made from the white of'the egg and four tablespoon- fuls of pulverized sugar. Serve either hot or cold. I like it best cold.--Ohio Farmer.

Adolsscence. ^ "In order to act with wisdom," says American Motherhood, "parents should understand the physical, mental and moral significance -of adolescence; should realize that it is a crisis ot grave Import to the boy or girl. Most mothers do recognize that thi3 is to the girl a critical time, and they watch with much anxiety the physical un­ folding of their daughters, guard their health, have patience with their moods and tempers, and overlook many per­ versities with the feeling that "she will be better by-and-by.' Few par­ ents realize that to the boy the period between 14 and 21 is equally grave; that It Is marked by physical changes of equal importance; that the crisis is for him even of graver import, be­ cause the inner forces work with greater energy and the outer tempta­ tions come with stronger power. This is the time when the father should relax the hand of authority, and offer the hand of friendship, treating the boy with a patience and wisdom of which he stands sorely in need." The Coffee Pot In many kitchens the remnant of the morning portion of coffee is left In, the pot on the back of th«j range for a mid-forenoon cup for the cook. Not enly is the rank flavor extracted from the long-steeping grounds, but a certain deposit is made upon the sides of the pot which is hard to re­ move, even by the most thorough washing. This deposit, if IpCt.cn, will sus^Ty^talnt the coffee that is subse­ quently made in the pot a$d injure the flavor of the best berries to oe had. The-pot should be washed and:scalded every time it Is used. If any liquid is left, it should be strained off Inro either a porcelain, china or earthen­ ware vessel, or intf a glass jar. when it may be added to any new brew which is made. "Oooo!"
