From all aocounts the Chaffee spirit Is not likely to die out There is *at the general's home in Washington a young grandson of three years of age who already gives evidence of the fighting determination of the old stock. "Adna," said the General to his grandson and namesake the other day, when the boy was doing some­ thing annoying, "yon must not do that" "Grandfather, I will do It" was the little chap's response, as he glanced vp at his grandfather with the Chaf­ fee flash in his eyes. "Ah, General, 1 guess you'd better let the boy alone; he has the Chaffee will," laughed Mrs. Chaffee. A Deep Mystery. Peter Donovan came over from Ire­ land fifty years ago, settled on a small farm up the state, and raised a large family of children. One of his sons eame to New York city and prospered In business, and not long ago sent for bis old father to come and spend his remaining days in comfort and leisure here in the city. Accordingly the old man sold his farm and came on. Ki3 son's family wq$ strange to him, and for a time he was a little suspicious of everything. Gradually, however, be gained confidence, and concluded that the family could be trusted. One day about two weeks after his arrival he took from his pocket a thick leath­ er wallet bound with long leather thongs tied at the ends. These he carefully untied and began slowly to nnwind. Round and round went his band seven times before the wallet was free. Then from the inside he took out a brass trunk check, held It up so that all could see, and asked, bluntly: "Phat is thot? The mon at the ether ind tould me to give ut to yes!' --New York Times. CAME FROM COFFEE.. CHAPTER XIX--Continued. The left arm of the sheriff dropped. The whole body of Ike Anderson, shot low through the trunk, as was the sheriff's invariable custom, melted down and sank into a sitting posture, leaning against the edge of the stoop. The sheriff with a leap sprang behind the fallen man, not firing again. Ike Anderson, with a black film now come upon his eyes, raised his revolver and fired once, twice, three times, four times, five times, tapping the space in front of him regularly and carefully with his fire. Then he sank back wearily into the sheriff's arms. "All right mammy!" remarked Ike Anderson, somewhat Irrelevantly. CHAPTER XX. A Case Where the Taking of Morphine Began With Coffee. "For 15 years," says a young Ohio woman, "I was a great sufferer from stomach, heart and liver trouble. For the last 10 years the suffering was terrible; it would be impossible to describe it. During the last three years I had convulsions from which c the only relief was the use of mor­ phine. "I had several physicians, nearly all of whom advised me to stop drink­ ing tea and coffee, but as I could take only liquid foods I felt I could not live without coffee. I continued drink- lag it until I became almost Insane, my mind was affected, while my whole nervous system was a complete wreck. I suffered day and night from thirst and as water would only make me sick I kept on trying different drinks until a friend asked me to try . Postum Food Coffee. "I did so but it was some time be­ fore I was benefited by the change, my system was so filled with coffee poison. It was not long, however, be­ fore I could eat all kinds of foods and drink all the cold water I wanted and which my system demands. It is now • years I have drank nothing but Pos­ tum for breakfast and Supper and the result has been that in place of being an invalid with my mind affected I am now strong, sturdy, happy and healthy. -I have a very delicate daughter who has been greatly benefited by drinking Postum, also a strong boy, who would rather go without food for bis breakfast than his Postum. 8o •inch depends on the proper cooking •f Postum for unless it is boiled the proper length of time people will be disappointed in it Those in the habit •f drinking strong coffee should make the Postum very strong at first in order to get a strong coffee taste."

Hour after hour, in the heat of the day or the cool of the evening, the giant Mexican strode on by the side of the two horsemen, sometimes trot­ ting like a dog, more often walking with a shambling, wide-reaching step, tireless as any wild animal. Expres­ sionless, mute, the colossal figure strode along, like some primordial creature in whom a human soul had not yet found home. The Mexican was running the back trail of the horse of Cal Greathouse, the missing ranchman, and it was very '&arly seen that the horae had not returned over the route taken by Greathouse when he started 6iit He had gone along the valley/' of the Smoky River, whereas the bourse of the loose animal had been along the chord of a wide arc made by the val­ ley of that stream, a course much shorter and easier to traverse, as it evaded a part of that rough country known as the breaks of the Smoky, a series of gullies and "draws" run­ ning from the tableland down to the deep little river bed. The afternoon fixed upon that ghastly shape which lay before him. There, in the ashes of the dead fire, as though embalmed, as though alive, as though lingering to accuse and to convict, lay the body of Greathouse, the missing man. Not merely a charred, incinerated mass, the figure lay in the full appearance of life, a cast of the actual man, molded with fineness from the white ashes of the fire! Not a feature, not a limb, hot a fragment of clothing was left unde- stroyed! yet none the less here, stretch­ ed across the bed of the burned-out fire, with face upturned, with one arm doubled beneath the head and the other with clinched hand outflung, lay the Image, the counterpart nay. the identity of the man they sought! It was a death mask, wrought by the pity of the destroying flames. These winds, this sky, the air, the rain, all had spared and left it here in accusa­ tion most terrible, in evidence unpar­ alleled. incredibly yet Irresistibly true. Franklin felt his heart stop as he looked upon this sight and Curly's face grew pale beneath its tan. They gazed for a moment quickly, then Curly sighed and stepped back. "Keep him covered. Cap," he said, and, go­ ing to his' horse/ he loosened the long lariat "Arriba, Juan," Be said quietly. "Get up, and the giant obeyed as meekly as a child. Curly tied his hands behind his back, took away his knife, and bound him fast to a tree. Juan offered no resistance whatever, but looked at Curly with wondering dumb protest in his eyes, as of an animal unjustly punished. Curly turned again to the fire. "It's him, all right" said he; "that's Cal." Franklin nodded. Curly picked up a bit of stick and began to stir among the ashes, but as he did so both he and Franklin ut- \ Melted down and aank Into a sitting posture. of the first day brought the travelers well within view of a timber line, but the rough country along the stream was not yet reached when they were forced to quit the trail and make their rough bivouac for the night There was a curious feeling of cer­ tainty in Franklin's mind, as they again took saddle for the journey, that the end of the quest was not far dis­ tant, and that its nature was prede­ termined. Neither he nor Curly ex­ pected to find the ranchman alive, though neither could have given letter and line for this belief. As for Juan, his face was expressionless as ever. "Que camina -- dnde, amigoT" asked Curly in cowboy patois. "Which way?" The Mexican pointed up the stream with carelessness and they turned thither. As they resumed the march, now along the leyel floor of the wind­ ing little valley, Franklin was revolv­ ing a certain impression in his mind. In the mud at the bank where they had stopped he had seen the imprint of a naked foot--a foot very large and with an upturned toe, widely spread­ ing apart from its fellows, and it seemed to him that this track was not so fresh as the ones he had just seen made before his eyes. Troubled, he said nothing, but gave a start as Cur­ ly, without Introduction, remarked, as though reading his thoughts: "Cap, I seen it, too." "His footprint at the bank?" "Yep. He's shore been here afore." Neither man said more, but both grew grave, and both looked uncon­ sciously to their weapons. The Mex­ ican plunged ahead as confidently as before, and in the tangled going his speed was greater than that of the horses. "Cuidado!" (careful) "Juan," cried Curly warnlngly, and the latter turned backed a face Inscrutable as ever. The turned an angle of the valley, and eame out upon a little flat among the trees. Toward this open space the Mexican sprang with horse, ex­ cited cries. The horses plunged back, snorting. Yet in the little glade all was silence, solitude. Swiftly Frank­ lin and Curly dismounted and made fast their horses, and then followed up the Mexican, their weapons now both drawn. This glade, now empty, had once held a man, or men. Here was a trod­ den place where a horse had been tied to a tree. Here was the broken end of a lariat Here had been a little bivouac, a bed scraped up of the scanty fallen leaves and bunches of taller grass. Here were broken bushes --broken, how? There was the fire, now sunken into a heap of ashes, a long, large, white heap, very large for a cowman's camp fire. And there And there was it! There was some Thing. There lay the object of their search. In a flash the revolvers cov­ ered the cowering figure of the giant who, prone upon his knees, was now raving, gibbering, praying, calling up­ on long-forgotten saints to save him from this sight. "O Santa Maria! O Purlssima! O Madre de Dios!" he moaned, wringing his hands and shiv­ ering as though stricken with an ague. wi Itheil junong the leaves* bla eyes tered an exclamation of surprise. By accident he had touched one of the limbs. The stick passed through it, leaving behind but a crumpled, form­ less heap of ashes. Curly essayed in­ vestigation upon the other side of the fire. A touch, and the whole ghastly figure was gone! There remained no trace of what had lain there. The shallow, incrusting shell of the fickle ash broke in and fell, all the thin ex­ terior covering dropping into the cav­ ern which it had inclosed. Before them lay not charred and dismem­ bered remains, but simply a flat table of ashes, midway along it a slightly .higher ridge, at which the wind, hith­ erto not conspiring, now toyed, flick­ ing away items here and there, car­ rying them, spreading them, returning them unto the dust. Cal Greathouse had made his charge, and left it with the Frontier to cast the reckoning. CHAPTER XXI. The Trial. "Your honor," said Franklin to the Court "I appear to defend this man." The opening sentence of the young advocate might have been uttered in burlesque. To call this a court of Justice might have seemed sheer libel. There was not the first suggestion of the dignity and solemnity of the law. EUisville bad no hall of justice, and the court sat at one place or another, as convenience dictated. This being an important case, and one in which all the populace was interested, Judge Bristol had seclected the largest avail­ able assembly room, which happened to be the central hall of Sam Pres­ ton's livery barn. The judge sat be­ hind a large upturned box, which sup­ ported a few battered books. At his right tfie red-nosed prosecuting attor­ ney shuffled his papers. Along the sides of the open hallway, through whose open doors at each end the wind passed freely, sat jury and audi­ ence, indiscriminately mingled. The prisoner himself, ignorant of the meaning of all this, sat on an up­ turned tub, unshackled and unguard­ ed., Back of these figures ^appeared the heads of a double row of horses. Back of the seated men others were massed, standing in the doorways. Outside the building stood crowds, now and then Increased or lessened by those who passed in or out of the room where the court was in session. These interested spectators were for the most part dark, sunburned men. wearing wide hats and narrow boots with spurs. They all were armed. Leaning against the sides of the man­ gers, or resting a hand upon the shoulders of another, they gazed calm­ ly at the bar of justice. The attitude of Ellisville was one of sardonic calm. As a function, as a show, this trial might go on. "Yo* Honah," said the attorney for the state, arising and striking an at­ titude learned in earlier forensic days --"yo Honah, an' gentlemen, I rise to present to you, an* to push to the ulti­ mate penalty of the law, a case of the most serious, the most heinyus crime, committed by the most desperate and dangerous criminal that has thus far ever disturbed the peacefal oourse of ouah quiet little community. There he sets befo' you," he cried, sudden­ ly raising his voice and pointing a forefinger at the prisoner, who sat smiling amiably. "There he sets, the hardened and self-confessed crimi­ nal, guilty of the foulest crime upon the calendar of ouah law. A mur­ derer, gentlemen, a murderer with red hands an' with the brand of Cain upon his brow! This man, this fiend, killed ouah fellow-citieen, Calvin Greathouse --he brutally murdered him." The orator knew his audience. He knew the real jury. The shuffling and -Whispers were his confirmation. "Yo' Honah,** began the accusing voice again, "I see him now. There sets the man! There he is befo' you! His guilt has been admitted. Answer me, gentlemen, what is ouah juty in this case? Shall we set this incarnate fiend free on the Ian* again--shall we let him come clear o' this charge-- shall we turn him loose again in ouah midst to murder some other of ouah citizens? Shall we set this man free?" His voice had sunk into a whisper as he spoke the last words, leaning for­ ward and looking into the faces of the jury. Suddenly he straightened up, his clinched hand shaken high above his head. s ^ "No!" he cried. "No! I say to you, ten thousand times no! This man shall not go free! Justice, yo' Honah, justice, gentlemen, ts what this community asks. An' justice is what it is a-goin' to have. Yo' Honah. an' gentlemen, I ylel' to the statement o' the defense." Franklin rose and looked calmly about him while the buzzing of oora ment and the outspoken exclamation• of applause yet greeted the speech of the prosecu£6r. The sentiment of pity was strong in his heart. He re­ solved to use all he know of the cun ning of the law to save this half-wit ted savage. He determined to defeat, if possible, the ends of a technical jus- tice, in order to secure a higher and a broader justice, the charity of a dl vine mercy. He realized fully how much was there to overcome as he gazed upon the set faces of the real jury, the crowd of grim spectators. "Your Honor, and gentlemen of the jury," he began, "in defending this man I stand for the law. The repre­ sentative of the state Invokes the law. I yield to no man in my desire to see a better day of law and order in this town. We are two years old in time, but a century old in violence. Is it merely your wish that we add one more grave to the long rows on our hillsides? Is that your wish? Do you want a trial, or do you wish merely an execution? Gentlemen, I tell you this is the most important day in the history of this town. Let us here make our stand for the law. The old ways will no longer serve. We are at the turning of the road. Let us follow the law. (To be continued.) IT PAYS TO BE HONEST. HI8TORY OF COTTON THREAD. Napoleon's Seizure of Hamburg Di­ rectly Forced Its Use. Ex-Provost Clark of Paisley, Eng­ land, has been relating the origin of cotton sewing thread, which was first used in that town in the weaving of "heddles" as a substitute for silk, which was stopped by Napoleon in 1803, when he seized Hamburg. Mr. Clark's grandfather and his brother then bethought them of cotton, which worked so smoothly that Mr. Clark's father, then a youth, took to recom­ mending it to women instead of-linen, then mostly used. Originally it was sold in hanks or skeins. These the women had to wind into little balls, as they do a cut of wool at the present day. Wish­ ing to convenience them, young Clark on selling a Bkein of thread would sit down at a pirn wheel and wind the thread on a bobbin, for which he charged a halfpenny. This halfpenny was refunded when the empty bobbin was returned. Such was the begin­ ning of cotton thread. Page Ate Senator's Luncheon. Senator Cockrell confines his daily luncheon to plump, red apples. Yes­ terday, when the usual hour for his lunch arrived, the Missourian clapped his hands twice. A smart page stood at his elbow. "Boy, take this to my clerk in the committee room," said he, giving the youth a scrap of paper carelessly folded. The page ran out of the Senate chamber, up the marble steps and into the far northeast corner of the Senate wing, where Mr. Cockrell has his of­ fice. The note was delivered to the clerk, who handed the page two plump apples. That was what the note in­ structed him to do. A half hour passed. Senator Cockrell was enduring the pangs of hunger. "What became of the boy who went after my apples?" said he to Barney Layton. The lad, entirely unsuspicious oi anything amiss, was summoned into the Senator's presence. He explained that he thought the apples were his reward for delivering the message. He had eaten them. The frugal Missourian saw the joke in the situation. He could not restrain a laugh. Being out one luncheon, he resumed attention to the Senate pro­ ceedings and bided his evening me&L --Washington Post Far Frae Barracks.

Lawyer Proves TjhM» by 1 Good 8tory. Ex-Judge Mayer and a party were discussing1 various maxims at the Re­ publican club the other night when Col. Henry Clay Piercy of the House Committee said: "Weil, Judge,' do you really believe honesty is the best policy?" "IH answer that question by a story," replied the judge. "When I. was practicing law in a country town I called on a resident one day in the interests of a client I said to the man: ' " 'Do you own a large black dog with white spots?' "Hg looked at me quizzically, and then said: " 'Oh, no; that dog is merely a stray canine that occasionally strolls into my yard. You're the tax assessor, aren't you?' " 'No, I'm only a lawyer.

Dr. Hartman's medical lectures are eagerly scanned by many thousand readers. One of the most timely and Interest­ ing lectures he ever delivered was his recent lecture on the blood impurities of spring. The doctor said th substance that every spring the blood is loaded with the effete accumulations of winter, de­ ranging the digestion, producing slug­ gishness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys, interfering with the action of the bowels and the proper circulation of the blood. This condition of things produces what is popularly known as spring fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus­ tion, that tired feeling, blood thicken­ ing and many other names. Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys­ peptic and constipated; sometimes he is weak, nervous and depressed; and again he may have eruptions, swell­ ings and other blood humors. Which­ ever it is, the cause is the same--ef­ fete accumulations in tbe blood. Nothing is more certain within the whole range of medical science than that a course of Peruna in early spring­ time will perfectly and effectually pre­ vent or cure this almost universaljiafr fection. Everybody feels It in some degree. A great majority are disturbed con­ siderably, while a large per cent of ^he human family are made very misera­ ble by this condition every spring. \ Peruna will prevefli..it If taken to time. r ^ Peruna will cure It ii taken as^H* rected. *' Peruna is the ideal spring medicine of the medical profession.
