CHAPTER XX CoKttSßfiD.
Ihw was news to the yomiß man and
Ills detective friend. Tho outlaw seemed
sincere, ami l*r th hi* visitors believed be
w I* speakiutt the truth,
“\V’L*l tilij i t could you have in holdimt
the g’rl a prisoner?' questioned Wallis
War,oi, after a brief silouce.
A bin objeot, young man. I know she
is an heiress. It is lack of money that has
made me what 1 am—an outcast from so
ciety and the world. I do not like bad
works, but necessity had led me into doiiiß
wrong. 1 am willing to compromise; ac-
ept ,i hundred thousand and emigrate to
the other side of tho world— see?"
“We oanuot compromise with crime,”
asserted Detective Gray, with a solemn
visage.
“Then what are yon here for?” pertinent*
ty demanded Burden Brono.
“I imagined we might Bud the mate to
this rnff-buttou that you have disfigured, ”
said Wager.
"For what purpose?”
"It doesn’t matter just now. Will yon
tell ns where to find Iva Swayne?”
For my freedom, and a guarantee that I
will not be molested fora given time, I will
produce the girl."
Little did the outlaw suspect that be bad
not the power to even tell wtiero the girl
sail and Ira Swayne was at that moment,
"‘lt would be impossible to make such a
promise, or rather to fulfill it if made," re
turned the detective. "The people of Sil
vers ind would make short work of you did
it become generally known that you had
been captured. ”
“Why should they? I haven't been long
enough in thia region to gam a bad name."
“I will tell you why, Burden Brono.
Many robberies have beeu committed in the
neighborhood, and your name has been
coupled with them during the past ten diys.
I have heard it -aid that a vigilance com
mittee lias been organized, how true it it I
cannot say, but ”
“Don’t continue the sublet, it U painful
*o a gentleman of my itauding, ” Inter
rupted Biouo. “You aud this J3ob Ranger
have come here to induce me to confess
th it I murdered that old man up at Bog
i avern. I swear to you ihat lam guiltless
of that crime, and am willing to stand trial
if I can have a fair hearibg, but Judge
Lynch isn t a magisfcmle I care to confront.
It will be lor youj; interest. Banger, to see
to it that 1 ajp not harmed. I hone you
nnd the gep'.ie and considerate Eagle will
use yotvr influence to that end should
rnnblr seem likely to occur.”
- ca <lo nothing ” uttered Wager.
“N'or I,” from Eagle Gray.
'I he two men turned to le&Ye the cell
“Look here, gentleman,” cried out Brono
•harpl v, I waut you to understand that if
you permit lira mob to take my life it will
o® the death of lva Swayne as well.”
1 his announcement caused both men to
turn a v ud face the outlaw once more.
Was he playing a game of bluff?
”1 understand what you think, gentle
men,* 1 pursued Brono, “but was nevermore
n earnest in my life. I thought it possible
when I left my friends that some mishap
might befall me, and so I left word With
ibe uurd, a ruuu of stern determination,
lo shoot the girl if harm befell me—that is,
if my life was taken. There are friends
and spies of mine who will not be long in
carrying the news to Tiger Tom, and' he
on receiving news of my death, will sacri
fice the maiden, heir to the Thornrift for
tune see?”
“Mail, do you speak the truth?” cried
Wager, seizing the outlaw by the arm and
jl.umg at him fiercely.
Tho solemn truth, youngster."
’ You are an immaculate scoundrel.’'
■'Don’t call pet names, Bob Hanger, but
help me out of this and I will serve you to
the end yon seek. ’’
" I caunot do that unless you tell me whore
to find Iva. ’’
“I will not do that——”
“Enough! I will find her and see you
hung into the bargain,' and the young man
hunter turned to follow his friend, who had
already passed into the hall.
“Lot them go, ” growled the prisoner. “I
will yet escape and win the prize that has
unwittingly been thrown at my feet. I rail
ruin more thau one man if I choose, and if
the worst comes I will do it"
There was a gleam of white teeth from
tinder a tawny mustache at the last
CII AFTER XXI.
WORK OF JUDGE LYNCH.
Squads of men were moving swiftly down
the main street of Silversnnd. Some of
them were engaged in an excited talk, and
it was evident that something was afoot of
nnusual import.
Wallis Wager, who had spent the day iu
a vain search for Iva Kwayne, sat smoking
in front of the Silver Mine when he caught
the sound of a name uttered by some men
who were passing. It was a name that con
cerned him. and he at once sprang up and
follow ed the two who were moviugut a leis
urely pace down the street.
“I don't exactly approve of sich work,
Bill.”
“I do: it’s the only way to rid the coun
try of those scoundrelly thieves and out
laws."
“Who’s at the bottom of this?’’
“I reckin'it’s the vigilantes.”
“True, but the ringleader’’’
“It’s a young feller from down country.
I heard him called Jerry Swayne."
“Wal, ef there’sgoin’ to be fun let’s hurry
up ami see it.”
And then the two men increased their
steps almost to a run.
Wallis Wager followed rapidly.
He readily guessed that Burden Brono s
life was in danger, and that it might be
necessary to employ prompt measures for
the prisoner’s safety. After going a short
distance the young man come to a halt.
The Sheri if ought to know of this con
templated raid on the jail.
His residence was uear the latter build
ing, and he would doubtless be on the
ground when the lynchers assembled.
Eagle Gray was somewhere in the city, but
Wager had been nnable to find him although
he had searched pretty thoroughly after his
erturn from the hills, as he wished to con
sult with his detective friend on the beßt
mode of procedure in the future.
It was now the second night after the
capture of Burden Brono. Bright stars
dotted the heavens, and a dead calm rested
on the face of nature.
A shout in the dim distance caused Wallis
Wager to hast -u his steps. He turned nt
length down a cross-street that led to the
jnii, and then numberless lights flashed on
his vision, nn.l the hoarse cry of many
throats filled tbe nir.
The young New-Yorker realized in an in
itant the situation.
A mob surrounded the jail!
It seemed evident that Burden Brono,
the outlaw, was doomed. With a nameless
Jread tugging at bis heart Wallis Wager
started at a quiet: run toward the scene of
sommotion.
The young man remembered what Brono
had said—that his doom meant death to Iva
Swayne. This thought lent wings to his
feet, aud he was not long in gaining the vi
cinity of the city prison. He could not get
very near; it was u nnecessary. The i-usil
ianimons jailer had tremblingly turned over
the keys and the mob was in possession of
the building.
The men immediately engaged in the un
lawful work, some thirty iu number, were
masked and carried lanterns.
Ih the prison yard was a tree—a mount
ain oak whose broad branches were to bear
forbidden fruit for one time at least.
“Back! In the name of heaven what are
you about to do?" demanded Wager, as he
attempted toforce his way inloandthrough
the surging mass of humanity gathered
about the jail.
No answer was vouchsafed, and when the
young man ioiued the inner circle he was
confronted by a startling picture—a BWay
ing form, nay, two of them, under the
branches of the oak!
The w ork had already been accomplished,
tho lynchers were triumph mt, ittd Bttrden
liiono and another had tom to the thereof
eternity u hrii 1 ' i light
I from a score of lanterns was tiling over the
j scene. Masked faces, board and and savage,
j surrounded the gu lows, and the pallid
! faces of the dead looked like images of
, stone let down from above.
It was a dramatically horrible scene.
Nevertheless Wallis Wager stepped bold
ly forward end stood at the side of one of
the victims, peeriug keenly into the pock,
mark' and face.
There was no aaiataklug ea

N *,i hta heart that the New Yot ei would

Quietly Wallis Wager moved toward the
open door of the jail. A light glimmered
wnhin. am] unnotioe i and luheeded the
young man made his way do Urn the hall W
iho call door of the ).,t. Bill :.. Brono.
Tho door stood open As It had been left by
the mob When they dragged the outlaw to
hi* dootn.
Why he cared to investigate the narrow

j possessed him iitddanly. And heat' n-o en

Evidently it had been placed there bv
Ktme one who had occupied the cell lately
—doubtless Burden Bmuo.
Tearing it open Wager drew forth And
opened several sheets of goto paj er, which,
Uf the light of a match, he saw were well
filled with writing.
"The mob is coming I know who leads
them. I don't waut this to fill into tho ]
bauds of it Swavne—heaven grant mt.n j

This milch was written b istily with a I ad I
pencil. Evidently it was Burden Bnum
who had secreted the letter, and Wager
w-ondered how it had escaped tli • bauds of
the officera who had searched Brono before
rending him to prison.
Itmaybothat I shall find the truth re

And then the sound of a step fell ou tho i
oar of the New-Yorker.
He listened iot tly.
Someone paused at the open door of thr
cell.
“This is the place. 1 found nothing on
the body, ball maybe
here,” muttered a low voice, nnd the i the
steps were heard to cross thresh Id and
enter the dark cell.
Steps were heard groping about in the
gloom. Of a sudden '.Willis \V,i

This from the last intrudor.

Jerry Swayne, the innkeeper's wicked r n'i
rttATTER XXIL
“it is THE WORK OF JERRY SWAYNE.*
On the instant that Wallis Wager uttered
these words Jerry Swayne grasped him,
and then a desperate struggle for the mas
tery ensued.
The i mkeeper’s son was strong as a bull,
but lazy, and tlie activity of Wager more
th.iu turned t o odds in his favor. Both
men w. ut dov\n, with Wager beneath, but
the agile young New-Yorker turned an 1
came on top when the stone floor was
reached.
'1 hen, to Wager’s great relief, he found
that his enemy lay quite still, having been
stunned by the fall.
Panting and almost winded, the young
man stood up and listened. There were
yells and shouts outside, but no one
seemed to be in tho jftil building. Wager
w-is glad of this, lie again bought matches
into use, and sent th • glare of the flame
into the face of J. rry Swayne.
“He will soon recover, muttered Wager.
“I'll see if h 1 has anything of importance
on his person."
Quickly the hands of Wallis Wager were
at work. He found some papers and a
small book in the pockets of the fallen
man. Ou any oilier occasion Wager would
have hesitated about Appropriating these,
but when so much Was at stake he could
not hesitate.
Transferring the articles to his own
pocket, Wallis Wager rose to his feet and
turned from the cell.
He had little difficulty in making his way
outside, and escaped the crowd without
molestation. With all speed he hurried
his return to the Silver Mine.
Iu his own room, under the glow of a
gas jet, Wager examined tho papers he had
obtained. First he went over the letter of
Burden Brono. His eye kindled, his bo
som heaved, and there was a compression
of the lips as the young man read the reve
lation of a diabolical crime in which the
outlaw had acted a prominent and im
portant part.
When he had finished, Wager folded the
letter carefully and secreted it in an inside
pocket Then he proceeded to examine
the papers he Had taken from tho person of
Jerry Swavue.
They proved to be of little importance
after all. The book, a thin pamphlet, was
of the most importance, it being in the na
ture of a diary.
Wallis Wager opened it, and scanned the
ill-scrawled pages closely. There was no
revelation here of an important nature un
til the last entry was reached. This was
dated ton days tu tho t ask
” I am here on the mountain, six miles
from Silversand, due north, I believe, and
some little distance to the right of tho old
miner’s trail. lam shook up bad, for Bur
den Brono, as he is called in this region,
attempted my life; but he failed, although
he imagines ne has killed me. I will show
him a game worth two of that. He has the
girl, Iva, a prisoner in the grove on this
plateau, and means to use her to enrich
himself; but he will g--t fooled on that, for
oniy one man guards the place, aud 1 mean
to get eveu. Iva is my promised wife, and
I do not mean to give her up for outlaws 01
anybody else, aud tirade what's the ma'ter.
"He has gone to Silvorsand in disguise.
The man he imagines dead will soon be on
his trail and wreak vengeance. Iva, I’ll
meet you soon, in spite of men or devils.”
That was all.
It was enough. Wallis Wager started up
and began pacing the floor. Ills brain was
swiftly coining a plan to find and rescue
Iva from the clutches of the villains who
sought to build themselves up by accom
plishing her ruin.
"Where is Eagle Gray? I want to seeh m,”
at length decided the young amateur de
tective.
The moment he came to this conclusion
he smarted te leave the room. As he opened
the door, he foil and hime'' 1 p face to f ice
with the man of his thoughts.
He at once drew the detective into his
room and closed the door.
“I hear bad news. ’ said the New York
detective. “Burden Brono is dead—hanged
by a 1110 b. ”
"True; but the world is rid of a villain
of the deepest dve, answered Wager.
“And no one gets the reward,” groaned
Eagle Gray, dismally.
“And it was the reward you sought alone?”
Wallis Wager looked his surmise.
“Of coHrse not, you silly boy,” returned
the noted detective; "but I do not approve
of these indiscriminate hangings. .Many
mysteries are thus shut from the world for
ever. An old man was knocked down, and
his house rifled of valuable jewels—dia
monds. I trailed the author of the deed to
the Silver Hills, ad might have secured
the stolen diamonds had not ihe mob in
terfered with my work.”
"Was Burden Brono the thief?”
“Yes; he admitted it, and exhibited one
of the diamonds in proof whi n i* ** bad me
in his hands, and beli- ved that I would not
live to expos * his villainy. Now his lips
are closed forever, and the precious jewels
may never bo found."
“What was th- ir value?”
“Fifty thousand.’
“A goodly sum. Help me to find Iva
Swayne and pm. sh those who have plotted
for her ruin, and I wiil see that the price of
the diamonds is made goo i.
“You?” in a surprised tone.
“Yes. I hope you will not return to New

“No, I will not. To her 1 owe my life;

“Yes. ”

An Interesting Sight on Lower
Broadway When They are Out irt .
Force.
| from New York Letter ]
It is 11 pleasure to walk Up Broadway
from Chambers to Bleeoket Street any
bright nftenloon from 5.30 to 6 o’clock.
Nearly every one of the big buildings
within those limits has factories on
every floor, where hundreds and thou
sands of girls are employed iu making
clothing, undmwfmr, neckties, Cloaks,
fancy boxes and other Articles of luxury
nml n. ossify, tH ; etty much all of them
are b"t\Veen tlie ages of 14 and 25. By
th - time they are 25 they are either mar
ried or swept away.no one knows where.
Most of these factories close at 5.30 and
the girls hurry on their wraps and start
for home, and great numbers of them
live in Brooklyn and New Jersey, where
board and lodging is much Cheaper than
in Now York, and Bo they Walk down
Broadway to the ferries. They are as
handsome a set of girls as can be found
anywhere. Like nearly all American
women, they have the knack of dressing
becomingly, and their trim and shapely
figures are shown off to good advantage*
They do not look discontent, if their
bright and cheerful faces are any crite
rion, and they chatter merrily as they
pass along two or three at a time. They
have the independent bearing of girls
who know they earn their own living
and are not dependent on any man for
support. Some of the prettiest are ac
companied by young men—perhaps some
of the clerks who have taken a fancy to
them. Nearly nil of them have been
pupils in the public schools, They read
the newspapers and can talk cleverly.
A vast amount of rot is printed about
them, but in point of fact they are as
jolly and contented a lot of young womer.
as can be found elsewhere in the world.
There is a great outcry on the part of
theatrical, short-haired and atmospheric
philanthropists, at times, because fac
tory and shop girls do not give up their
employment and seek homes as servants
in uptown families. The girl knows
what she is about. The bedraggled
maid of all work, nagged by a silly mis
tress, abused by a horde of snappy chil
dren, and saddled with a thousand cores,
has one night out a week, when she has
an opportunity to be courted by tho
coachman or hostler. The working girl
is her own mistress absolutely from the
time she leaves the factory at 6 o’clock
in the evening until she returns at 8
tho following morning. Her indepen
dence is absolute, aud during her hours
freedom she is us much a lady ns the
wife of the President. She visits her
friends and receives the calls of men
who arc by no means to be despised in
the matrimonial market. A great and
welcome change lias come over publio
opinion respecting women who have the
courage, faith and energy to go out in
the world and make themselves the ar
biter's of their own futures instead of
moping at home, a burden to their
friends and a trial to their relatives.
That workingwomen command in nrarry
instances the highest respect cannot be
denied by any man who has an intimate
knowledge of New York life. There are
ladies of high culture, finished accom
plishments and many graces of mind and
person in the boarding-houses of Now
York who are the popular leaders of lit
tle social circles despite the fact that
they arc employed during the day.
There are grades of labor, and women
have learned to look the world in the
face and fight for the best fields.
SOME OF THE POLITICAL SLANG.
Senator John Sherman Tells About
hooking After Fences anil Fay
ing 1 Pipes.
“Well, how did they treat you in the
South, Senator if”
“Splendidly; splendidly indeed,” and
there was a tone of unusual enthusiasm
in his voice as he said it.
“You’re going home to look after your
fences, of course ?”
The Senator laughed heartily.
“Do you know,” he inquired, “how
that expression originated?” “No!”
“Then I’ll tell you. While I was Sec
retary of the Treasuryl came homo to
Mansfield for a few days at one time.
As soon as I got there there was an in
flux of newspaper correspondents from
all parts. Some of them announced
that I was getting ready to run for Gov
ernor; others that I was working up a
boom for the Presidential nomination.
One of them came to me and boldly
ask< dme wlmt I was doing in Ohio. It
just happened that on that day I had
contracted with a man to repair some
f* i res m my place that were in a
tiuubl d-dowii condition. So when that
newspaper man asked me what I was
doing in Ohio, I told him that I had
come home to look after my fences. He
published wlut I said; the expression
was taken up by the papers and went all
over. It has even been used oil some
occasions in the British Parliament. It’s
funny how these political expressions
originate. In some city just before
election the Democrats employed an im
mense number of laborers to lay water
pipes. Ths.t’s what gave rise to the ex
pression ‘lavin’ pipes.’ You remember
that at one time tin* Democrats were
called Locofocos. During a Democratic
meeting in New York the participants
grew so turbulent that it became neces
sary to extinguish the lights. The par
ticipants. left in total darkness, pulled
out locofocos, as the old-fashioned
matches were called. That’s where
that name originated.” —Cincinnati En?

ter Wnshhilrrt's Aofcouiit.
In an article in ftribner on "Pari*
Under the Commune,” ex United State*
Minister E. 11. Washburn say*s A most
curious event occurred n( .the palace of
' 1 1 • fw n, M V
IJ, mil. There was a grand concert
given there at that time under tho direc
tion of the communard author!ties. The
proposed “concours” was widely adver
tised in the city ami every effort was
made to have it a grand success. Ak Its
avowed purpose was a beneficent one,
the Ajipeiil made to the edmmllflard pop
hlntisri of Puri* was a very strong one.
The attendance was large and u great
amount of money was taken in. The
concert win advertised for Sunday even
ing, but there was an immense affair in
the garden of the Tuileriea in the after
noon. There was not less than 10,000
persons present. There was “music
w ith its voluptuous swell the bands of
a great many regiments and no ltiss than
1,000 mUsieiatts playing and singing the
sou! stirring MuHeilldi-e. Hut it was in
Ihb evening that there was the greatest
interest. The palace of the Tuileries
was thrown open to tho public, and the
gieat hordes of men, women and children
went through the gardens and defiled
through the gotgeous ftnd magnificent
apArtintSnts of the palace.
Though 1 knew all about the concert, I
did hot deem It a fitting occasion to he
present myself on a Sabbath day, but I
sent one of my secretaries to see what
was to be seen and to report to me. He
stated that what he there beheld was a
remarkable and interesting sight. Ten
thousand people tilled all the apartments,
wandering everywhere at their ease, ami
examining into every nook and corner of i
the vast palace. The comments of the
rabble were ’most amusing. My secretary
kept along with the crowd everywhere,
seeing all that was td be seen, and listen
ing to alt that was said. Great interest
Centered in the private apartments of the
Empress. The gorgeous belongings wfere
everywhere Commented upon by the mob.
The bath of tho Empress attracted great
attent.on. It was represented as vbry
handsome and as a marvel of luxury,
beauty and taste. It was surrounded by
heavy plate mirrors. The bath was cut
out of solid marble. The ceilings were
covered with rich blue silk velvet. The
faucets in the bath Were of solid silver.
All that was seen was described by the
communards as evidence of the profligacy
and luxury of the court in the vast in
crease of taxes levied upon them. Not
one man in the crowd, it is safe to say,
had ever paid a cent of taxes in his life.
TUB SHOOTINO OF AItCUIHSHOI* DARBOt.
The days of Tuesday and Wednesday,
the 23d and 24th of May, were anxious
days at La Koquette, but there were no
very striking incidents. About 0 o’clock
on Wednesday evening a detachment of
forty of the National Guard, belonging
to the “Veugeurs of the Republic,” as
they were called, arrived at the prison
with a captain, first aud second lieuten
unts, a commissaire of police and two
civil delegates. They all wore bright
red scarfs. Entering the office of the
jailer, these civil delegates demanded of
the director of the prison the release of
the hostages, saying that they were com
manded to shoot them. The director at
first refused to deliver up the prisoners,
saying that he would not consent to such
a massacre of men confided to his care
without more formal orders. A long dis
pute thereupon arose, which finally ended
by the director’s giving consent to deliver
up six certain victims who had been des
ignated. The men awaited the decision
impatiently in the court, and as soon as
the delegates had got the consent of the
director to give up the prisoners they all
mounted the staircase pell-mell to the
first story, where the hostages were then
confined.
In the presence of such a contemplat
ed crime a silence came over these assas
sins, who awaited the call of the names !
of the victims. The names of the six
martyrs were called. The Preaident
Bonjean, occupying cell No. 1, was
first; then the Abbe Deguerry, occupy
ing cell No. 4, was the second; and the
the last called was Mgr. Parboy, Arch
bishop of Paris, who occupied cell No.
211. The doors of the cells were then
opened by the officer mi the prison, and
the victims were all ordered to leave.
They descended, going to the foot of the
staircase, where they embraced each other
and had a few words, the last on earth.
Never was there a more mournful cortege,
nor one calculated to awaken sadder emo
tions. Mgr. Darboy, though weak and
enfeebled by disease, gave his arm to
Chief-Justice Bonjean, aud the venerable
man, so well known in Paris, Abbe Be
guerry, leaned upon the arms of the two
priests. A good many straggling Na
tional Guards and others had gathered
around the door of the prison as the vic
tims went out, and they heaped upon
them the vilest epithets, and to an extent
that aroused the indignation of a sub
lieutenant, who commanded silence, say
to them, “that which comes to these
persons to-day, who knows but what the
same will come to us to-morrow?” And
a man in a blouse added, “men who go
to meet death ought not to be insulted;
none but cowards will insult the unfor
tunate.” Arriving iu the court of La
Roquette, darkness had already come
on, and it was necessary to get lan
terns to conduct the victims through the
high walls which surrounded the court.
Nothing shook the firmness of these men
when they were thus being marched to
assassination. The Archbishop was the
coolest and firmest, because the greatest.
Ho shook each one by the hand and gave
him his last benediction. When they ar
rived at the place where they were to be
shot, the victims were all placed against
the walls which enclosed the sombre edi
fice of the prison of La Roquette. The
Archbishop was placed at the head of the
line, and the fiends who murdered him
scratched with their knives a cross upon
the stone in the wall at the very place
where his head must have touched it. at
the moment they tired their fatal shots.
He did not fall at the first volley, hut
stood erect, calm, and immovable, and
before the other discharges came which
launched him into eternity, lie crossed
himself three times upon t.e forehead.
The other victims all fell together. The
marks of the bullets as they passed
through their bodies were distinctly visi
ble. The Archbishop was afterward mu
tilated and his abdomen cut open. All
the bodies were then put in a cart and re
moved to Pere La Chaise, which was but
a few squares off, where they were thrown
into a common ditch (from which, how
ever, they were happily rescued before
decomposition had taken place.)
THE COMMUNE OF PAIUS.
But few people are fully aware of the
immense proportions which the Paris
Commune had taken on before its final
suppression. Its military strength was
simply enormous. Cluseret told me of
his furnishing rations, at tire time he was
delegate to the ministry of war, to 125,-
000 soldiers in Paris. And the amount
of war material found in possession of the
Commune at the time of its collapse was
prodigious. There were 548,000 guns of
different models, with sabre bayonets;
56,000 cavalry sabres of every form and
description; 14,000 Enfield rifles; 80,000
revolvers, making a total of nearly 700,-
000 weapons of every kind taken from
the hands of the Communards. Inde
pendently of the vast amount of this par

Four Western Whoppers..
According to the St. Louis Qtohe-Dem
otrat the four booming stofies which fol
low were recently told in its city:
“This boom is a great thing,” said
One. “It seems to extend all over the
country, and I think it's because the gov
ernment has been paying off so many
bonds that the people are putting their
spare money into real ( State. Now, it’s
wonderful up there in Wichita. There’s
a man iu Wichita now worth $160,000 in
cash subject to draft, and sLx months
ago he came to the town a tramp, lie
was arrested for vagrancy, but when he
got off he went to work, saved a few
dollars, bought an option od a lot, sold
it, aud kept turning it over until he is
now Worth $160,000. That's true, be
cause Gov. Martin himself told me of it.
I think Wichita is the town ot' the fu-
I turc.”
“Now,” said another, “I’m in the real
-1 estate business myself in Springfield, in
1 this State, and I think that there isn’t
anything to prevent Springfield being the
metropolis of the West. The other day
my wife had about SBOO which she told
mo to take down-town aud put in the
bank for her. As I was going down the
1 street I met a friend of mine who wanted
Ito show me a lot. I went and looked at
it and concluded I’d take it, and I paid
the S3OO down, and the deed was being
made out for me in the real-estate office
when another man came in and looked
over the paper and said to me: ‘l’ll give
you $1,200 to let that man put my name
in that paper instead of yours.’ I took it.
He sold that lot for $5,000 next day.
There was a friend of mine who—
“Here, that’s enough,” interrupted an
other. “That’s pretty good. But you
mark my words. Fort Smith is the com
ing town; three railroads crossing there
and seven started for there. I bought a
lot there for SSOO, sold it for S7OO,
bought it back again for $1)00. aud to-day
telegraphed my agent to sell at $1,500.
When you’re talking of booms, just re
member that tbe Fort Smith boom takes
the cake.”
The fourth party seemed unequal to the
emergency for a moment, but finally re
plied. “I’m from Kansas City,” said he.
“There was a man without any legs or
arms, and with only one eye, came to our
town five weeks ago and held his hat in
his mouth on the street corners for pen
nies. . In two weeks he had bought a lot
in the suburbs and sold it, and bought
another and sold that, and now lie’s got
a glass eye, two artificial legs and a pair
of arms, and can write his check for ex
actly $11,000.”
The Auction Thieves.
“I notice that Inspector Byrnes says
nothing in his book about auction
thieves,” said a well-known auctioneer to
a New York Sun reporter.
“Auction thieves I”
“Yes. There are thousands of them
in the city, and they are a big nuisance
to us.”
“How does the auction thief work?”
“His principal method is to damage
goods, and buy them cheap in conse
quence. You see we always have a lot of
goods on exhibition, and it is impossible
for us to watch them closely. The auc
tion thief waits for a good chance, and
then steals some essential part of an arti
cle. When the thing is sold he buys it
cheap, because it is imperfect. Then he
adds the missing part, and sells it again
at the full price. They will steal the
weights from a pair of scales, the pendu
lum of a clock, the grate out of a stove,
or anything which will cripple it."
“Do you ever catch these thieves?"
“Oh, yes; now and then. But what
can you do to a man for stealing a few
cents’worth? It wouldn't pay to prose
cute him, so we just turn him over to a
porter, and he gets off with a good kick
ing. But they’re a great nuisance, and I
think I'll send the next one I catch to the
Island.”
Made a Mistake.
“I’ve got ’em at last!” he chuckled, in
| the corridor of the postoffice.
“What—who ?”
‘•The coal men! I ordered half a ton
the other day and they sent up 1,600
pounds.”
I “No!”
“Sure's you live! ’
He was unlocking his box as he spoke,
and he took out a letter which he opened
i aud glanced at and turned pale.
“It’s the bill for the half ten, eh?”
j “Alas! no! I take it nil back! He says
J he made a mistake and sent me a ton!”—

Mrs. Ilecbe, the Ball, and the Boys.
Mrs. Beebe, an elderly Now London
lmly, haa been a k"'d deal annoyed by
Isiys who play foot bull iu tho street be
fore her house. She hml tried entreaties
und threats to no purpose, Until tho
pthqt day, wliert slio hml her innings.
In the course of tho game the boyA
knocked the ball out of tho bounds into
the yard attached to Mrs. lice bo’s rest;
ilcnce, ami before tile sprvest of the lot
oonld scale tho fence and recover tho
rubber sphere, Mrs. Decile had captured
it, und when a demand was made for its
return site was deaf to nil forms df en
treaty. Tlte boys made two or three in
effectual attempts to soften Mrs. Beebe’s
great wroth for their previous laid con
duct, but slio was adamant and tho Isiys
wore in a quandary. After a While they
held a mass mooting for- deliberation ou
the best course to pursue, and finally
decided to form a committee which was
divided into subcommittees of two,
whoso duties should be in turn to make
half-hourly calls on Mrs. Beetle, and de
mand the return of their foot hall. They
kept this up all day with little ehunoe
of success, apparently until lute in the
day, whon it became a mere question of
endurance which of the adverse parties
should prevail. For bruta strength the

Beebe surrendered and threw tip the

pugilistic circles. —Neve London Day.

I send yon to-day half dozen photograph* of G.
G. Hoffman, of Cofiover, N. C., and I nin?t eay that
your medicln! has done wonders for Mr Hoffman.
It seem* like raising ihe dead to life; he looks fat
nnd hearty now. and they tell me when he com
menced yonr medicine he w • nothing but skin and
boncA The sore on his breist iu healed over, and
you can see the one on the forehead is heallDg up
from the top. I wish it had been so that I could
have taken it when he was at his worst, b it I could
not leave my office, and he lives home distance from
here. Yours Respectfally,
A. Mclntosh.
This man, G. O. Hoffman, has rben by the nse of
Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) to his present won
derfully improved condition. In a short time his
boneless forehead will be fully heale l, and he will
stand a monument of humanity raised from the
verge of death. Few persons ever recover from
such a low stftte, being on a dying bed from that
fell destroyer, bl)od poison, with the bones of his
forehead rotted and taken out, inches, by the
doctors, and given out to die. Ffom skin and
bones, wrecked by blood poison, to health and
sound flesh, U the work of B. B. B.
Not many such desperate casos may bo found,
but when they are they should not despair of re
covery, as B. B. B. will cufe them.
When this medicine can cure such extreme cases,
is it not reasonable that it will cure all cases of
blood poison of less violence, as It has done In
thousands of Instances?
The Mayor mid Doctor* of Conover will
verify the awful condition from which Mr.
Hoffman wa* raised. B. B. Cos.
