CHAPTER Xl— Continual
“All! I have Been you somewhere before
to-night,” he cried, ns ho grasped both
small, brown hands iu his nud looked tho
gratitude ho could not speak.
“You are the passenger who stopped at
Bog Tavern yesterday. "
“Yes. ves, I remember now. I saw you
there. Miss Swayne, I suppose?
“Yes, sir."
“And I am ”
He came to a full and sudden stop, as if
fearful of revealing his namo to tho inn
keeper s girl.
“I know you, sir." uttered the girl, Bird
denlv; “yo i are Kaglo Gray, the detec
tive."
“Indeed!”
He looked the astonishment he could
not 6peak.
“I overheard I'ncle Lucius and Jerry
talking about you after your dej arturo. ”
“What did they •ay?”
“That you w< re a dangerous man.”
“Indeed! How does it come that you aro
•o far from home to-ni^ht? I owe my life
to you. Miss Sw.tvne, and lake a de p in
terest iu your welfare. H hem ver I can do
aught to assist you, you have but to com
mand.”
“I believe yon, sir. answered tho girl,
fraukly, “and may claim your h Ip much
sooner than you im igtne. I lied last ni.hl
from Bog Tavern to eseap** a late worse
th.Hu deuth. I have been lid ng among the
bills for many hours. 1 think I must have
os. my way iu the darkn ss, for 1 am con
fident that I have poue far enough to reach
fillvorsaud before now it is almost morn
ing. My horse fi ll lame, and Ihf her tc
look for the highway when I hoard youi
voice, and at once hurried here.
Eagle Gray gazed with admiration at the
intrepid girl as she told him of how, at a
rough mountain tavern, where she dis
mounted to feed her horse, some drunken
miners became insolent, and her own deli
cate hands beat back a grizzled : ountain
eer who tried to ldss her, till the o'.h rs
cheer* and her and r nth r on her way, and
a young man com ug upon the sc no, a
stranger to Ler, sprang toward the ruffian
ami felled him to the gr< nud.
“You were going to Silver-ami for what
purpose' Have you friends in the city?*
asked tho detectiv.-
’Tes. one friend.”
'Will yon te l me his name?”
“Wallis Wag r.”
The detective started at mention of the
name. It was Wallis Wager who had
knock'd him down so unceremoniously in
the Silver Mine card-room. What was the
young man to this pretty girl?
He questioned her regarding him. Hei
answers satisfied him that the young man
was a stringer to her, yet at that time he
did not deem it best to acquaint her with
his own suspicious regarding one he was
firmly convinced was the murder rof the man
slain at Bog Tavern on the pievious night.
“We had best get to Silvers and as soon
as possible. How far from here is youi
horse?” questioned the detective.
“I cannot tell, sir. Less than a mile ]
should think. ”
An artless creature was Iva Swayne, and
she had no thought of distrusting Eagle
Gray, nor the one who had written that let
ter to her while at the tavern. She was ho
incensed at Jerry, and realizing that she
might be forced into a marriage w ith hum
if she remained under the roof of Bog
Tavern, Iva had fled, determined to face
the world and its pitfalls rather than face
the danger at home.
It was a good ch inee indeed that sho fell
in with and rescued Eagle Gray, for in the
keen detective she was to find a true and
lasting friend.
Securing the rifle and extinguishing the
light, Eagle Gray led the way from the
mountain cabin. Groat was liis surprise
on stepping into the outer air to note a
flush of red in the e ist.
Day was soon to dawn; this fact was as
surance to the detective that he had lain a
long time insensible after being stricken
down by Burden Brono.
How far it was to Silversand the detec
tive had no means of knowing. Iva had
been in sight of the mining city during
her ride.
Following a narrow path detective and
companion came at length to a clump of
timber. Night was fast vanishing, but as
yet no sign of the white mare greeted the
vision of Iva and her new friend.
“Wo have surely gone far enough," as
serted the girl. “I fear wo have lost the
path that 1 followed into the hills
It did look that way, but Eagle Grey
was disposed to look on the bright side of
the situation.
“Well, if we don’t liml the horse we will
eventually come out somewhere, asserted
the detective.
“But, sir, I must not lose Flight, she is
all the friend 1 nave," cried Iva in genuine
distress that touched the heart of Gray.
“You shan't lose Ihe animal, my girl. I
will make it my special work to find her
after we gain Silversand.”
As they moved on through the shadows
of the woods the twain came suddenly upon
the edge of a narrow ridge wh se summit
was crowned with hushes, and down which
a narrow, well-beaten path led.
“Be careful," warned Gray, who was in
advance, with his captured rifle across his
arm.
lie had scarcely entered upon the new
trail when a cracking of bushes and dry
twigs, accompanied by a sharp scream,
caused Gray to turn about quickly.
An openi gin the bushes show, and where
Iva had fallen through to au awful death
on the rocks below!
CHAPTER XU.
IVA’S MISHAPS.
For some moments th rt detective stood
staring at the opening in the bushes, with
an alarmed look overspreadii g his coun
teuan e.
It set med evident that the young gill had
gone t * her doom. Eagle Gray had be
come and eply interested in lva, and the ac
cident was one that gave him a decided
shock.
Quick to act, the detective investigated
the spot from whence Iva had been hurled
from liis sight. Ho could see nothing of
her, and the descent was almost perpen
dicular. He called her name, but no an
swer was vouchsafed.
“Evident'y she is dead or badly huit,”
muttered the and t- ctive.
He then made a d* tour, and finding r*

down some thirty feet, when his fV< tstiuck
the pebbly bottom of a considerable basin.
He was not long in finding the object of
his search. She lay, bleeding and insen
sible, at the foot o; the steep.
Feeling her pu l so. Eagle Grny soon dis
covered that her he it stilt be it. and uftet

“Miss Swayne, are you badly hurt? ’ lie.
questioned eagerly.
"I—l fear so. ”
ne gasped, and seemed u able to speak
further. Of course the detective was i o\v
thoroughly alarmed. He chafed her arms
and spoke cheering!? to h r, unt.l lie mag
netism of his pr s nee roused her to some
extent, and sho was able to sit up, though
gutter,lig 1.0 idt e pain from a wren* li* 1
ancle and otherwise.
“J am sorry,” said Eagle Gray, in a low.
sympathetic lone. “It was my fault; I
ought to have looked after you.”
“I alone am to blame,” returned Iva,
with a sad attempt at a laugh. “What sh ill
we do now?”
“1 think, if you will permit, I might carry
you out of this place, and ”
“Oh. but //ow can t carry me.”
The big black eyes regarded the little de
tective imredu’ously.
He smiled.
“I will show you."
He sprang up, lifted her in his arms a6
though she had been a feather, and strode
away as if unburdened.

“Put me down, please.”
He obeyed, depositing his fair burden on
a niosigrowu rock under nouio trees.
"Tim k you ever so much,” she said,
blushing rosy red under his gaze. “Now

shall not be able to walk soon.
What eoul 1 he do but obey ?
It was h most unfortu' ate thing for him
to do, however.
He w nt back a little on the trail to a
spot where he had left his rifle. It was
gone. This puzzled Gray not a little. lle
was sure that he had left it leaning against
a tree just beside the trail, but there was
the tree, with no gun in sight.
After a short search Eagle Gray gave over
tho hunt for the rifle, and began a search
for Iva Swoyne s w hite mare.
lie was gone a long time, the young girl
thou kt, as sho sat under the branches of
u mountain cedar and watched the deepen
ing light of day as the sun stole above tho
horizon and sent bright gleams over hill
and dale.
Tho mountain air was chill, and there
was u frosty tang to tho morning Iva
I drew the shawl she bad brought with her
ii]i about her shoulders, aud in silent
reflection for a long time. Sho was really
a pretty picture there in the wild, weird
surroundings. A pair of eyes gleamed
from under heavy brows, and a low. half
uttered expression of satisfaction fell from
sensual lips as a man bent and glared
through tho thicket at tho girl on the rock,
i “Found nt last, my runaway, ’ uttered the
manat length, and th n h pressed for
i ward and confronted Iva, with his wool
hat crunched in his hand, the mop of sandy
hair bristling over his low brow like the
quills of the fretful porcupine.
Iva uttered a cry, and sprang up as if to
flee.
Don’t bo scart. Iva; it’s only me.”
“Jerry Swayne, bow came 3*oll here?’’
demanded the girl the moment she could
comma id herself sufficiently to speak.
"I might ask you tho same question with
a good deal more reason, ” was tho young
| borderer's retort. “What made you run
' away from home, Iva?”
“I was tired of livi g there."
“You went to meet Wallis Wager.”
“I did not”
“The 1 what did you go for? I h ive seen
tho letter written by that scamp, and I
know somethin’ about girls’ hearts. You
thought he was a bandsom • critter, but all
the same ho is a murderer, and yon
oughtn’t to trust him. He is a stranger,
too. I'm ashamed of you entirely*. Iva
Swayne. You've disgraced our family.”
“1 am glad you think so."
"Aro you?” with a surprised look. “Good
land, Iva. I didn’t think you Mas go fm
gone. You must go back with in©. Dad
and mam are in an awful pickle ’coz you
left and took the white mare. What have
vou di I with Flight? Do yon know th< y
hang folks in this c >untry who steal hosseg?”
“I will not listen to your threats, Jerry,”
retorted tin* girl. “I am my own mistress
now*, and will never go back to Hog Tavern."
“Iva, would you go to your own destruc
tion?”
“I know what I am about, Jerry Swayne."
His face grew red.
“I hardly think you do," he retorted.
Tve been out all night looking for you,
and now that I’ve found you I don't mean
to let you go. You must go back with me."
“Never! Don’t you dire touch me, sir,"
cried the girl, looking daggers ns he ad
vanced a step.
"Hut, see here; I must not let you go to
j-our own ruin, Iva. I’m goin’ to take you
back to Hog Tavern ”
“ I will not go. ”
“Then accompany me to Silversnnd,
where we can bo married. 1 don’t blame
you for hating the old tavern. I m sick of
the place myself, and meant to speak to
you about goin' to some decent place to
live. I cau make a good livin' in town, and
if you sa.\ so we’il set up housekeepin’ in
Silversmd to once. ”
There was a leer on his heavy counte-
nance that to the relined inner feelings of
tho girl seemed idiotic and beastly. She
loathed the coarse nature before her now
more than ever. To wed such an animal
would have bet nto Iva Swayne a fate worse
than deith. It was to avoid such a fate
that she fled from Hog Tavern, she fondly
believed forever. Aud now tlie brute of
the tavern confronted her with the tame
old proposition. He was capable of any
dime, and as she reflected that Eagle Gray
might be a long way off, she realized that
it would be tho part of w isdom not to an
ger this man, whom she had learned to look
upon as her cousin, aim yt t her mortal en
emy.
“Well, what’s Hie vordic’, Iva?”
“You must give me time to think on it,
Jerry,” returned Iva slowly, one.) more re
suming her seat on the rock aud assuming
an air of indifference.
“Oh, but you know that's too thin,”
growled tho young scion of the house of
Swayne. “I want your answer now.”
He advanced and stood over the young
girl, glancing at her from his beady eyes in
a manner not tho pleasant st.
"Why are you in such haste. Jerry?”
“Because 1 kuow you re slippery, Iva,”
he said with a sneer. “You've played fast
an’ loose with me Jong enough.’
He grasped her arm suddenly and lifted
her to his side. His fingers hurt her, and
she cried out with the pain.
At this moment came an interruption, one
that gave her a brief respite. Jerry Swayne
was hurled aside, aud a third party con
fronted tho trembling girl. His face wag
pock-marked, and he lmd a defect in one
eye.
CHAPTER XIII.
THE COUSIN.-* AND THE OUTLAW.
“Burden Brono, bv thunder!” exclaimed
Jerry Swayne, as he rco'od backward.
lie had read the description of the out
law late that night, in the Silversand llow
r "For 1 o had l>oen t*nf V* the man*
hunter, Wallis Wager. 1 his was the first I
time Jerry had mot the fellow, and he must
have felt somewhat alarmed, although such
a feeling was not revealed on his stolid
countenance.
“Was the fluke meddling with you, mam?”
questi mod the new-comer, with the utmost
uonch i'ance, at the same time he smoothed
and caress il a drooping mustache with one
large palm.
“lie insulted me, sir,” littered Iva, little
die tili ng that she was confronted by ouo
of the most noted outlaws in the West,
ouo for whom a large reward had been
offered through the instrumentality of the
vt ry ] erson she h id left Bog Tavern to find
-Wallis Wager, the mysterious author of
that letter found in the pillow-slip after the
murder.
“ I’ve a mighty poor opinion of a fellow
calling himself a man who would insult a
helpless young lady,” said Burden Brono,
with commendable gallantry.
Then he turned to iind iumseif covered
by a gleam ng revolver in the hand of the
man ho had hurled from the side of Iva
Swavne.
Chck!
“Stand back. A move on your part and
you’re a dead clod,” hissed Jerry, with his
linger on the trigger of his six-shooter.
Is that so? Whoever heard of a clod
that wasn’t dead?” uttered Brono, a half
sin le. ha f sneer curling his lip. “You may
as well put up your pistol, Jerry Swavne;
nobody’s afraid of you.”
“Throw up your hands,” ordered the inn
k eper’s son. without heeding the words of
the outlaw.
But Burden Brono made no move to com
ply. He continued to regard the young
man with a quizical sneer.
"Bali! ’ he finally articulated, a look of
the utmost contempt in face and bearing.
“Don’t make a fool of yourself, young man.
You and I may as well chum up, since we
are on the same waters, sailing in the same
leaky craft. Put up your pistol, Jerry, and
show a little sense, can’t you?”
How did the villain know his name?
Jerry was somewhat puzzled at this, but
he was too warv to be caught off his guard.
A sudden thought entered his brain, how
ever, and he resolved to act upon it.
“You wish to be my friend, Mr. Brono?”
The young landlord's son thrust forward
the words in the form of au interrogation.
“That’s my wish, certainly, providing you
promise to otter no violence to this girl. ”
“I promise that."
“Then shake.”
Burden Brono hold out his hand.
Jerry hesitated. This might be a ruse on
the part of the notorious outlaw to get the
upper hand.
“What, are you afraid?”
Again that sneer curled the lip of the
6tont law-breaker. Jerry extended his left
hand, still keeping the fellow covered with
his six-shooter.
“You’re about the most prudent chap I
ever saw,” said Burden Brono, as he wrung
the hmd of the y< ung man before hm. I
knew one man m the long ago who acted
I
1 with tho same prudence
“You did? Who was it, pray?”
“A chap who wean* his ago poorly, and
who's afraid of his shadow after night; ho
keeps a low-down tavern on the stage line
taist."
, “Look here, do you mean—*
1 no menu Bog Tavcru, and old Lucius,
f<>r a f Mt"
“You know my father, then?”
“Kuow him! Well, 1 should say so,”
uttered Burden llrono, in a swift, harsh
voice. “I tind his sou a chip of the old
block, only somewhat more so. And this
girl, herc f what is she to 3*011?”
Now the outlaw turned aud regarded
Iva, who stood trembling, not daring to flee
lost tho cruel Jerry should turn his weapon <
upon her she believed him capable of such
wickedness.
“I\a is my cousin, and soon to bo my
wife,” answered Jerry. “She fled from
home last evening, and took with her the
best boss in tho stable. In one leuae it
was steal in’, bu if she promises to behave
herself ln reafier 111 not take tho law on
her."
The pock-iunrked man turned a penetrat
ing gaze upon the girl.
'Does he speak th*- truth. Miss Swayne?"
“In part. I tied from the tavern toesoape
i\ fate wors than death a wedding w.tb
this man. He has pursued me and wishes
me to return with him.”
“ You do not wish to go?”
“I prefer to die.”
The words were uttered with thrilling
emphasis. Burden Brmio smiled—a queer
little lifting of the brows and twitch of the
lips and then said:
“I wi 1 see that no harm com* s to you it
vou will obey me. I like vour face, and
know that you aro a good little girl. I like
good little children, and you s reu’t much
more than a child "
I am sixteen, sir.”
“Exactly. You shall be protected if yon
will trust me; will you promise to do so,
Iva?"
“Y-e-s,” faintly.
“Of course you will. I never harmed a
woman in my life, and wouldn’t think of
such a thing now, at an age when the silver
of time is streaking my hair. ”
Then he turned to Jerry, who stood list
ening iu an attitude of seeming stolid in
difference. He, too, had formed a plan in
hs wicked brain th it meant conciliation
with the outlaw for the present.
“No doubt you would keep us company."
"I’ll be entirely too happy,” smiled Jerry
with an awkward attempt at politeness.
“Take my arm. Miss."
Tho giant outlaw crooked his elbow and
stood beside the maiden.
“Where will you go?” she questioned,
remenih 1 ing the awful fate th *t had threat
ened E igle Gray, who had b n left to die
in a strange manner in the mountain cabin,
by this same man who could sp ak so
sm mthly and gently lie was an outlaw,
an l doubtless hypocritical in his allusion
to worn n and children, yet Iva resolved to
trust him for the present; in truth, she
could not do otherwise, and between the
two she much preferred this notorious out
law to the mercy of her own cousin.
“To the home of a nice family I know,
up in the hill, returned Brono, in answer
to Iva’s question.
And then the two moved away, Iva
clinging to the arm of Bruno at the outset,
but finally falling to the rear as tho moun
tain path narrowed, and walked between
the two men. Brono g'nnced backward
now and then, evidently distrusting both
gill and young man.
Soon the two came to a halt iu front of a
small log cabin. It was the same structure
that Iva had entered to the rescue of Eagle
Gray at an earlier hour, but she failed to
recognize the spot, now that the light of
day revealed the surroundings plainly.
“Wait just a moment,” said Brono as he
turned to tho door. "I’vesomething in her#
that I wish to look at.”
Bushing open the do >r Brono entered th
front door of the cabin.
A moment later he started hack, and
came rushing from the hut in a rage.
“You infer; al scoundrel! this is youi
work!” howled the outlaw, rushing at Jerrj
Swayne, with a cocke 1 revolver thrust
forward.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
What Becomes of Deer’s Horns*
Mr. A. S. Fuller, the well-known au
thor, writes in the American Agriculturist
for April: “What becomes of deerhoms {
is often asked of persons residing in
regions where deer are plentiful, lmt it
is rarely satisfactorily answered. That
the horns are shed annually, there are
no good reasons for doubting, for it is a
well established fact; but that the horns
are rarely found is also quite as true, as
stated by Mr. Yoder in the American
Agriculturist for February. I well re
member looking for shed deer horns,
many years ago, in the woods of Wiscon
sin, and during one of these rambles,
extending over only a few hours, I saw
fifty-seven very lively deer, some with
very handsome antlers, but failed to find
a vestige of an old horn. Upon inquir
ing of old hunters who were supposed
to know’ all about the habits of deer, 1
was informed that when a buck dropped
a horn he immediately dug a bole in the
ground and buried it out of sight. Upon
further investigation, however, I was
unable to find a person who ever saw a
deer performing the operation, or one
who ever found a horn that had been
buried by its owner or any other similar
animal. Hut in late years I have had
several opportunities to learn where
some of the naturally shed deer horns go
to, if not* all of them. The deer shed
their horns in spring, and they no soon
er fall to the ground than the wood mice
attack them, and they disappear before
the teeth of these little rodents so quick
ly that a few weeks are sufficient to
obliterate every vestige of the noblest
pair of antlers. Even the squirrels like
to gnaw the deer horns and fresh bones
of various kinds, and it is this natural or
depraved taste that makes our common
red squirrels rob birds’ nests when the
young are nearly full grown ; for so far
as I have observed, they devour the
feet and legs of the birds only. I have
frequently made them drop the young
birds they were slowly torturing, and
have always found that they were eating
the feet and legs, perhaps because these
parts had a nutty flavor."
He Whittled the Steel*
Two Kentuckians—one of them a
blacksmith—recently called at the Navy
Department in Washington, and an
nounced that they had discovered a pro
cess of treating steel which w ould prac
tically revolutionize the art of steel tool
making. They did not divulge the na
ture of the invention further than to in
timate that it related to the chemical
bath in which the tool is immersed in
the tempering process. The callers as
serted that by their method of treatment
the commonest grades of meial can be
so tempered in the matter of hardness
and toughness as to fully equal the best
grades of tool steel. An ordinary pair
of cheap east-steel scissors could be
treated without disconnecting the blades
so as to cut ami hold an edge as well as
the best English tool-steel shears.
An experiment was made on the Blade
of Secretary Whitney’s pocketknife with
tho result that it was possible to whittle
an ordinary stool key w ithout apparent
injury to the blade. Moreover, tho re
sults of the treatment are assorted lobe
so under control that it Js possible to
temper steel to any degree of hardness
or toughness required. After consulta
tion with the Chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, the Secretary decided to per
mit the process to be t- feted at the V, ash
ington Navy Yard, and the experiments
have already been begun.
In the East it would be set down as
a Pacific coast fabrication, But it is a
fact that the horses in the mountain
camps of California are in winter pro
vided with snow shoes. The Nevada
City Transcript thus describes these
shoes: “To make one of the shoes you
first take a pi? -e of rubber belting about
12 inches in diameter. Fasten to one
side of it a steel plate so perforated that
the calks of the horse’s usual shoe will
fit it. Then v y a eiamp fasten one of
thoflo with t.. rubber side down, sepiire*

Romance of a IVrPumo.
A Lahore (India) letter to the Baltimore
Sun says: “The story of the building of
one of the tombs here is sufficiently inter
esting to bear repetition. When only
heir-uppaient, Jehanjir fell in love with
one of his mother’s attendants named NOOI
Jehan, and wished to marry her, but Ak
bar married her to one of his Afghan fol
lowers with her willing consent. Jehan jit
determined to have her, and her husband
was shortly afterward murdered, by Je
hanjir's orders, it was believed. For n
long time she refused to become his wife,
but finally capitulated about the time lie
ascended the throne. Jehanjir was then a
coarse, brutal drunkard, who delighted in
torturing those who came under his dis
pleasure. But Noor Jehan, besides having
great beauty*—she was credited with be
ing the most beautiful and fascinating
woman in the empire—possessed remark
able talents and great force of character.
Her influence over the Emperor was so
great that she made him less cruel and
frequently kept him from drink. Her in
fluence was always for good, but she is
principally remembered as the inventor of
attar of roses.
Jehanjir raised her to honors which no
Mohammedan woman had ever enjoyed.
He went so far as to order that all coins
bearing her name should be considered oi
a value 100 times greater than theiractual
worth. Notwithstanding that she must
have known that her first husband was
murdered at the Emperor’s instigation,
her attachment for him toward the end
seemed to know* no bounds. He called
her “Noor Nahal” (Light of the World).
Jehanjir had often expressed a wish to be
buried at Lahore, which Noor Jehan com
plied with, building the beautiful tomb
mentioned above and then retiring from
the world,vow ing to never wear anything
but spotless white as a token of inconsol
able widowhood. She lived many years
afterward and in comparative comfort,we
may suppose, from the fact that she had
an annuity of over $1,000,000.
Baltics’ Photograph*.
The majority of women have but one
anxiety about their babies’ phtographs.
It is the same they evince about their own.
It is to have the picture pretty, no matter
how homely or ill-featured the child.
Photographers are in the habit continually
of making lovely pictures of exceedingly
ugly babies. If they are cross-eyed their
eyes are straightened. If their noses are
crooked or their mouths one-sided the}
correct that error, too. Women are usu
ally very sensitive about the physical de
ficiencies of their offspring, and seem to
try to reach the ideal of xvhat they wish
the child might be through the skill of a
negative retoucher. He can convert a
child as ill-favored as the one which
turned into a pig in “Alice in Wonder
land,” into a beauteous infant.
A w’oman brought a very ugly child tc
a photographer the other day, with small
eyes and a most pronounced turned-up
nose. “I know* it’s awful humbly,” she
said, “and hain’t got eyes bigger than a
pig, but I want you to make the picture
of a lovely baby, for it will make my sis
ter madder than hops.”
The work of making pretty photo
graphs of children is comparatively easy,
lor there are no lines to deal with nor
wrinkles to mark out. Up to ten months
or one year old a baby is not apt to be
burdened with expression, and shows to
better advantage divested of its garments.
Since the price of photographs has

Fashion Notes.
Homan sashes have again come into
vogue.
Buttons covered with goods matching
the dress are once more in order.
Two shades of lilac arc worn in the
street costume as well as in the evening.
Tassel stitch embroidery is something
new and very easy to accomplish.
Coat cloth in all the popular Suede,
tan and biscuit shades is for short jackets
for spring wear.
Russet shades will be used for street
wear, and already vie with the stylish
biscuit shades.
Chuddah cloths are in exquisite colors,
and are equally well adapted for both
house and street wear.
Ribbon is having its day, and every
available spot on the costume show’s a
bow or a group of loops.
The new corded ginghams are in
charming colorings, and will be very sty
lish tin 1 coming season.
The fashion of wearing sparkling
stones in the rosettes for the house shoes
of kid or satin is a pretty one.
Rcnnaissance green has blue tints, and
is quite different from the past season’s
shades in the popular color.
Scarlet or English pink will continue a
favorite color for spring wear, and every
young girl must have a “pink coat.”
Illuminated cloths which have inter
weavings of bright colored silk threads
are very stylish for tailor-made costumes.
Spangled Fans are quite the rage, and
the more they arc spangled the more
fashionable they are. Silver and gilt
spangles both are used.
Anew shape in the sailor hat promises
to be popular. It has the same brim, but
the crown is higher in front than at the
back, and is slightly peaked at the front
of the crown.
Combination is even more than ever
before the order of the day. Sometimes
the front of a dress is of one material
and the hack of another. Great care,
however, must be taken in the formation
of such a dress, that the effect may be
graceful, the object being to simulate a
garment of one material worn over one
of another.
Edison May Still Hear Beecher’s Voice.
In the house of Thomas A. Edison, at
Llewellyn Park, is a remarkable memento
of Beecher. The inventor's phonograph
for impressing ' n a soft metal sheet the
utterances of the human voice, and then
emitting it again by turning a crank,
has never been put to any very valuable
use, and Edison has only gained from it
a few thousand dollars in royalties from
exhibitors. But he utilized it to make a
collection of famous voices. Since he
became famous his visitors have included
hundreds of celebrities. Instead of ask
ing them for their autographs or photo
graphs. lu* has, in two or three hundred
instances, requested them to speak a few
sentences into u phonograph. He has
kept the plates in a cabinet,and occasion
ally In runs some of them through the
machine, which sends out the words ex
actly ns uttered. Edison is probably the
only man who can revive the silenced
voice of the :c::t preacher. —Philadelphia

ONLY A BRAKI WAN KILLED.
A Plea for tho Faithful Men who
IIImII Their Lives Dully.
(From the Chicago Herald.)
An instance of the cruelty of onr
modern civilization and its infinitely di
versified appliances and custom* ia found
in tho fact that tho death of n railway
employee, through one of the minor ca
uulticH of his culling, is no longer con
sidered worthy of mention in the news
columns of n metropolitan newspaper;
or, if mentioned at all, a line is generally
sufficient to chronicle the bare foot, de
tails being utterly neglected. In tho
despatches it used to In*:
“By a broken rail seven freight ours
were thrown off tho track near this place
last night and their contents, consisting
of valuable merchandise, almost de
stroyed. The loss of the company will
reach gift,ooo. Passenger trains were
delayed nearly an hour. A rigid in v s
tigation will follow. One brukoinan was
killed.”
Formerly minor accidents to cm- ;
plovees wore telegraphed *0 city papers,
out now* all correspondents arc instructed (
to omit sending intelligence concerning
tho common accidents of tho rail, in |
which employees only suffer, unless tho
fatalities number more than one or some
unusual circumstances or causes are
present. Almost every week some rail
way employee loses bis life or a limb in
the Chicago railway yards without any
mention of tho casualty being made in
the city papers. This seems cruel, but
the truth is that this sort of news is
rarely worth printing. As the world
goes these items are unimportant and
newsmen neglect them. But with pas
sengers it is quite different. The com
monest accident involving the safety of
a passenger or injury to his person is
carefully investigated and reported.
And just now the papers are filled with
articles demanding that the death-deal
ing stove shall be banished, that safety
gates be put up at all crossings, and
that every possible precaution be taken
to secure safety for the traveling public
and for pedestrians and street travelers
who must cross railway tracks. But not
a word is heard in behalf of the em
ployees, whom the juggernauts of tho
rail are slaughtering and maiming by
the thousands every year.
“Only a brakeman killed!” Wliftt a
story* the figures of a railway tell—and,
after all, there is nothing like cold fig
ures to point a moral or tell a tale. In
Massachusetts last year only one passen
fer in 7,58-1,258 was killed, and one in
, 160,931 injured. This ratio is not an
alarming one, but when we come to em
ployees the ratio is very different. Then'
were 274 casualties to employees, 63 ot
which were fatal. On the Fitchburg
road one employee out of every thirty
one was injured. On other roads about
one in 120. Most of these casualties
were in coupling or uncoupling cars.
Forty-eight, or nearly one a week, were
injured in this way on one road. One
can, therefore, readily believe that on
almost any of our larger railways of the
West a man a day is the average ratio
of tho rapacious demon of car-coupling.
Next come casualties to trainmen from
falling from trains—over one a week in
the whole State of Massachusetts, and
probably twice or thrice as many as in
Illinois. Take the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy rood for a home instance,
and than the Burlington there is no bet
ter managed road in the world. In a
recent year this road carried in Illinois
2,770,000 passengers. Half of a dozen
of these were injured and none killed.
Of the 1,500 engineers, firemen, brake
men, baggagemen, switchmen and con
ductors employed in Illinois more than
200 were killed or injured. In fully
one-fourth of tho cases the demon
coupling was the agent of injury or
death. All along tho lino of every rail
way in the country, and particularly in
the division station towns, where many
railway employees live, will be found
small "armies of widows, orphans, and
maimed men.
He Wasn’t Looking for B’ar.
“Any bear about this neighborhood ?”
he inquired as he got off the train and
leaned an eight-hundred dollar breach
loader carelessly in the hollow of his
aim.
“The w’oods is full of ’em,” said a
citizen. One of ’em bit my brother’s leg
off yesterday. Are ye loaded fer b’ar,
mister?”
“No, sir,” replied the young mao,
hastily boarding the train; ‘Tin only
loaded for rabbits.” — Harper s Bazar.

Amour A Cos., the packers, recently
sent a carload of dressed layf to Akron,
Ohio. For some reason, either because
the Uivcott on Armour was enforced by
the local lnt>or organizations or through
tln> hostility on tin* part of local butchers
very little of it could be sold aud the
bnlanno was returned hew.
Tho Armours at onoo decided to strike,
back and authorized their Cleveland
um>nt to open five or six retail meat
shops in Akron and to sell their goods
at lower rates than those of the resident
dealers.
Convent, their representative, said;
••We trv to do *a wholesale traao and
generally succeed, but if anv retailers
think they can freeze us out of a town
they arc mistaken. We will sell meat
one way or another, and wo will niuka
it very warm for the Akron butchers.”

CONSUMPTION,
which is Scrofula orifio I.uugP, is arrested;
and cured by this reniedt, if taken in the!
earlier stages of the disease. From its mar
velous power over this territly fatal disease,,
when first offering this now world-famed rem-?
edy to the public, Dr. Fierce thought seriously
of calling it his “Cc.n .•cmption (!!ure,” but
abandoned that name as too restrictive for]
a medicine which, from its wonderful com-;
bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative!
or blood-cleansing anli-bilious, pectoral, and
nutritive properties, is unequaled, not onitl
ns a remedy for Consumption, but for all
