Tho Lieutenant’s Prisoner.
Charles Parker being a young
man from the east anil a newly
fledged graduate of the military
academy, he was not looked upon
with sublime awe by tne frontiers-
ttieii around his Arizonian post,
fctnd certainly not with a fearful
respect by the military.
The frontiersmen, from their
proud height of dyspepsia and dirt
.recognized tidy Mr. Parker only as’
a “tenderfoot,” while the older offl-
• cers aud uddiers were naturally
slow to concede military merit to a
youngster who had escaped death
or court-martial for a shorter peri
od than themselves.
In reality, I.ieut. Parker knew
very little of the energetic west as
it i.- materialized around Fort Mc
Dowell, and what little he knew
did not sued him with pride.* It
was his idea that if knowledge is
power, know iet’ge of Arizona was
only mult! power and not to be cov
eted. lie \.as not in deadly fear of
that truculent creature, the Arizo
nian ilia red shirt,but if he had
chosen an individual to stand be.
twixt the wind and his nobility the
geiitlem.il in the carmine camisa
would not have obtained the situa
tion. His life was not totally with
out charm, for he was in love with
the colonel’s daughter, one of those
'charming young ladies found only
: in army circles, who have all the
polish of their more fortunate city
sisters, with a seductive frankness
and abandon develoved In their
bohemian existence.
It was arranged between Miss
Helen and Parker that when he
could get leave it should be for a
wedding journey. It was the pecu
liar charm of this arrangement that
iit was made without the colonel’s
• assistance or knowledge. Lovers
i must have their secrets. A lover
’ without a weighty secret would cut
ar poor a ligure as a seeretlets
statesman.
However, the chances of Parker’s
getting a furlough wore slim. His
captain was on an indefinite sick
leave, having a splendid time and
entering heartily into business,
f/hile his first lieutenant was en
gaged in Washington on some oner
ous duty which required peculiar
talents aud considerable “influ
ence.”
“Oae officer,”said the law, “must
Vo with the troops,” aud when the
law uttered these words it ignored
(he astute captnin and powerful
first lieutenant and pointed with
its crooked finger at our friend Mr.
Parker.
The morning when history finds
him the lone lieutenant, acting as
post-adjutant, was sitting at his
■desk in the colonel’s office, gravely
refertiug official papers to himself
) in some of his many capacities, such
(-,. ..s quarter-master, commissary, ord-
^ nance officer, post treasurer, ehie;
iol scouts, overseer of schools, or
"^perpetual officer of the day. By
his formal words one would have
thought him on very frigid terms
with hinicelf. Instead, for instance,
of saying, “Parker, will you take a
squint at this?” lie wrote, “Respect
fully referred *o Lieut. Parker, who
will take the action required.”
Meanwhile the colonel was knit
ing his br.iws over the order from
eadquarrers.
' 'V hat do you think of that ?” he
said 1,5 i as t f handing the paper to
Parker.
man read the order,
answer. He iiked to
jon asked, but he did
hat his crude ideas
to an officer of so
much g reate# experience.
W fat do you tlr.,,^ w repeated
the colonel mildly.
“I suppose it’ll have to done,”
said the lieutenant, vaguely, -j 0 t
knowing on what point a reply wt»
wished.
■“Yes,’’ mused the colonel, “but
how ? This says he is supposed to
be at Sanford, but the description
is vague to make a search on.”
•«Oh, that,” said Mr. Parker;“why,
J think I know the man already. 1
■saw him last summer when I was
purveying the line from Gila bend
to Tucson. He keeps a saloon in
Sanford.”
The colonel shook his head.
“I was going to send for an (.‘Id offi
cj&r, but if you can identify the man
vuu’lt have to go. Humph! Not
a very pleasant or easy duty”—ana
he looked hard at the young man’s
smooth face—“it’s worse than In
dian-fighting. Maybe I had better
- have an cider officer go with you.”
“If you think It necessary.”
“I don’t,”said the colonel, instant
ly determined by Parker's look;
and he wrote in pencil the draft for
an order:
“Lieut. Parker will proce d di
rectly to Sanford, Arizona, with • a
detail of six men, aud arrest esesp-
**•'-451 military convict John Devine.”
“Just have that published.”
Parker hesUated ; but as the re-
1
sponsibility of the arrest was to de
pend upon him he determined to
speak.
“If that order is published, word
of it will go to this convict by the
‘underground,’ and he will give me
the slip.”
“Suppose you were to go away
without an order,” said the colonel;
‘that would excite suspicion as
well.”
“Let it be a false order.”
“It wouldn’t do any good. When
these fellows see a soldier they are
on the alert, order or no order.
Thej%now the soldier is after some
one, and they send the word on by
their underground for the benefit of
whom it may concern. You will
have to take the e h ance of travel
ing as fast as the news of your com
ing.”
But Parker had an idea. He
thought he could entrap an Arizo-
uian as easily as it he had worn f
red shirt from infancy.
“i learned something,” said he,
“last summer when I was down
there. When they knew t was sur-
- eying 1 could have had as many
• lackleg* in my society as I wished.
Mr. Devine himself waited on me
it his saloon. Send me down on
telegraph business again.”
“Good!” cried the colonel. “Make
out an order to examine the line
and publish it here. You will have
the real order in your pocket.”
In half an hour the ambulance
rolled out of Fort McDowell into
the long road across the desert.
The soldiers were in good spirits
over a holiday. Very true, the': car
ried carbines and revolvers, but. in
Arizona carbines and revolvers are
is readily associated with good
spirits as cheerfulness with beans
and big grocery bills in New Eng
land.
Tho travel brought them to Saca-
ton, on the Gila, where Parker hadf^it down,
been fhe summer previous. When
the people learned his present er
rand he was hospitably entertained
and no warning of his coming was
sent forward. But in conversation
with the Indian agent, to whom he
revealed his true orders, he learned
that the convict, frightened by pre
vious rumors, had sold his saloon
and was about to leave. This ren
dered an arrest a matter of double
difficulty and danger.
Under the circumstances, al
though the next day was Sunday,
Parker determined to push on. At
0 o’clock Sunday morning the am
bulance was on its way with a drive
before |itof eighteen miles. Parker,
half a mile from his destination, put
off his unconcern and ordered the
driver to §top. Then he pulled the
true orders out of his pocket and
read them. The soldiers exchang
ed glances. They thought the young,
lieutenant wouldn’t take things
so easily if he knew the desperate
character of his business. More,
respect was visible in their faces
when he gave his orders. They per
ceived from hi3 tone that if any one
faltered it would not be the “boy.”
“We will drive into the plaza i,
front of Smith’s. Devine will prob-
biy be in some saloon opposite,
shall go across the plaza to the sa
loons. You will loaf along, fift.'
yards in the rear, with you carbines.
I’ll let you know when 1 want you
Now drive ou.”
Arrived at Sanford, these Jirec-
.ions were carried out to the letter
A small, but hard-looking crowd
gathered around the ambulance.
“Hello,lieutenant!” said Smith
the town shyster, coming out.
“What is it?”
“Telegraph,” replied Parker, fo
all to hear. “I have come to see
what you can put up for it.”
'“Good!” said Smith, while a mur
mur of approbation ran through
the crowd. “I’UAakoyou round te.
s?e the people. Have the man put
up the rig?”
“Can’t stop long enough. I’m go
ing on to Florence to get tneir
ideas. Driver, keep the team here.
You men can go where you please,
but be back iu time te start.”
“The 1 use having succeeded so
fai Parker and Smith walked
across -the plaza to the saloon,
while ti.o men followed aimlessly
along earning their carbines on
their hips.
“Come in and have something,”
said the hospitable Smith when
they crossed the square-, “help you
talk business.”
Parker accepted aud they we*c in.
The saloon consisted of two rootn
In the front room there were two
or three lounges, but from the back
room there issued various sounds
which gave evidence of a crowded
table of gamblers. Parker gave
his order and placed himself so
that, by turning his head, he could
command a full view of the back
room. Then he looked for his men.
Thev were already at the saloon
door. They played their parts well
for they seemed only waiting for
their superior before they took a
turn at the bar. Parker poured out
1 generous glass and turned his
eyes and glanced in the back room
Directly in front of him at the
opposite side of the table sat De-
Vine. At the word “lieutenant” tbe
- 4*
convict raised his eyes and met
Parker face to face. IIis £r,t in
stinct being to escape recognition
he resorted to the clumsy device of
dropping his glance and slouching
forward his sombrero. Parker,
looking at him absently, turned to
the front of the saloon, and still
holding up the glass, made the sig
nal. Then, without drinking, he
set the glass down and walked di
rectly to the door of the gambling-
room. He did n Dt know what trag
edy would follow his words, but he
said:
“John Devine, I want you!”
A dozen pair of eyes were turned
toward him and a dozen hands
sought the everready “gun;” but
the pistols were not drawn. Al
most immediately the men assumed
a look of welcome, and seemed tac
itly to acknowledge that they had
mistaken the intruder.
“Hullo, lieutenant!” cried two or
three, in a frantic effort to set
themselves right. “Hullo! Come
nqcomeiu. Glad to see you. Bar
keeper, something tor tbe lieuten
ant. Come in.”
“Thank you,” said Parker, won-
d ring what deceit this greeting
was meant to cover. “I’m on busi
ness, and that comes first. Come,
Johnny, I want you.”
What! want Johnny? What’s
he done?” they cried, in grieved
surprise. “Now, lieutenant, you
dou’t want Johnny, do you?”
Parker made no answer, but
kept his eye warily on the crowd.
Devine threw down his cards, as
if in despair, saying:
“Ail right ; I’ve got to go. Thi
thing has been hanging over me
for a year, and I’m gla„ it has
come.”
‘ But don’t be in a rush,” cried the
others; “don’t be in rush, lieuten
ant. Have a drink. Come in and
We ain’t seen you in
years.”
Parker was so dumb'ojnded by ti i
continued politeness that he looked
about for the cause. It was evi
dent. A big sergeant stood behind
him with two cocked revolvers
aimed at {he crowd, and on each
side of the door were soldiers with
pointed carbines.
The Arizona desperado under
stands the doctrine of chatr.-es as
well as the rest of us.
Devine arose to follow. He look-
id mournfully at his big pile of
chips.
“Who’s banker?” asked Parker.
“Banker, casli J ohnny’s chips. Sor
ry I can’t let him stay so that you
can have a chance back at him, but
the money's his.”
The disappointed banker made the
exchange.
While the party were taking De-
vine to his house, where the convict
wished to say goodby to his wife,
a horseman passed them at full
speed, going toward Florence, a
tittle town five miles to the east.
The incident did not escape the
unsophisticated lieutenant. He
sent an urdeily for the ambulance
iiiit hurried Devine through his
farewells. Wlien the wagon drove
tp he was ready. Evt rybody was
mounted. The convict had the ap
pearance oi being perfectly hope
less.
“Which way ?” asked lhe driver.
Parker looked Devine keenly in
he face and answered:
“Back, through Saeaton.”
The convict dropped liis head and
mis hopelessness was no longer as-
-umed.
“Our friend on lhe horse will
prepare his ambush lor nothing,
won’t he?” asked Parker. '
“He just will,” replied the con
vict, with a laugh.
That night at 1<» o’clock, having
driven eiglity-three miles since 9 in
the morning, the detail arrived at
the fort and Devine was secured in
the post guard-house. The colonel
was delighted aud surprised.
I spoke,” said he. “of having an
other officer here. I think I had
better have him come now and give
you a leave.”
“Thank you,” said the bold lieu
tenant; then he explained that
leaves were best for wedding jour
neys, and so led up ro a full revela
tion.
“In that case,” replied the colo
nel, with a dusty Arizona wit, “I
will send for my other daughter and
give Helen a leave, ten*.”
I.emons and Long Life.
An eminent German scientist has
held that eating lemons in sufficient
abundance is conducive to long life,
and a New York doctor, wlto is said
to use 3,000 lemons a year, thus
speaks of his own experience:
In 1874 I began drinking lemon
ade regularly, taking the entire
juice of two or three lefhons at a
time, in an ordinary goblj t of wa
ter, with a small teaspoonful of su
gar for each letnon, afterward rins
ing my mouth with clear water to
remove the acid and sugar from
my teeth and gums. With rare ex
ceptions I have now taken lemon
ade in this way four times daily
for ten years—on risiug in the morn
ing, about l o’clock p. in., half an
hour before dinner, and on retiring
at night; and whenever profession
al duties prevented it, I have felt
at once the absence of the lemon-
juice in my system. I rake only
two meals daily, but consume be
sides a considerable quantity of
fruits ot the season, such us grapes,
peaches, oranges, melons, etc. I
have no taste for and do not use
ale, porter, wine or spirits. Former
ly my ordinary weight was about
150 pounds, my height being,
now, 5 feet 7'.inches. For six 01
eight years past I have weighed in
the neighborhood of 190 pounds
without feeling any inconvenience.

Difficulty of Accumulating a Million.
Millions are talked about glibly
at limes without a clear under
standing of the enormous sum rep
resented by the $50,000,000 left by
Cornelius Vanderbilt, the elder, or
the $200,000,000 left by William H.
Vanderbilt to his sons.
A Cnicago preacher helps one to
realize the magnitude of such for
tunes by figuring out that if Corne
lius Vanderbilt had been born at
the beginning ol the Christian era
and had saved $25,000 a year ever
since, he would not have made up
his fortune of $50,090,000; and that
if Wiiiiani H. Vanderbilt had been
a contemporary of Adam aud had
saved at the same rate of $25,000
per annum, lie would still have been
far short of his $200,000,000 at the
time of his death, and would still
nave had to toil and save for 2,115
years in the future before amassing
his fortune of $200,000,000. That
calculation is based on the usual
chronology. Without such exam
ples to give one a measure, it is dif
ficult to form a proper conception
of such enormous sums.—Detroit

A'singular accident which t«$

Wed way, a small village near the
Clark and Green ConDty line, very
recently. Mr. StroDg was engaged

Those who have been much with
the aged have observed in them a
chafing against the infirmities of
their ysars, which expresses itself
in restlessness and a desire fjr
change. They grow weary of the
inactivity which has succeeded the
busy time when they bote the heat
and burden of the day, ana so,
sometimes they wander here and
there, dropping in to visit a frfeml
or talking with a chance acquain
tance, trying thus to while away
the tedious hours. In mistaken
kindness and unkind affection, we
often oppress dear, aged people by
our very care. They dislike super
vision. The tender watchfulness
which to us settiu due to their
physical feebleness, as well as fora
fit return for their care for us in
earlier days, is by them resented os
restraint. It annoys them. Then,
too-, wb try to take all the work out
of their hands, and that they don’t
like. Nobody who has been active
and useful enjoys the feeling of be
ing laid on the shelf.
Grandfather’s step is uncertain
and his arm less vigorous than of
old; but he possesses a rich treasure
ot experience, and he likes , to be
consulted. It is his privilege to
give advice; his privilege, too, at
times, to go into work with the
youngest, renewing his youth as he
keeps bravely up with the hearty
men not half his age.
Grandmother does not want to be
left out of the household work.
When the days come around for
pickling and preserving, and the
domestic force is pressed into ser
vice, who so eager and full of inter
est as she? It is cruel to over-rule
her decisions, to put her aside “be
cause she will be tiled.” Of course
she will be tir“d, but she enjoys the
fatigue, and rests the sooner for
the thought that she is still of some
use in the world.
To those whose homes are honor

aged negro rejoicing in the appella
tion of Ctesar Johnson. A reporter
with a taste for the wild and b. auti-
ful in nature, and who had saved
up his three months’ salary and
hired a team and taken a friend to
ride, chanced to drive by the habi
tation of Ctesar, a day or two ago,
and was surprised to see the old
man sitting in front of his house,
regarding, with an air of pride, three
or four fine specimens of strawber
ries.
“Where in the world did you get
th -e?” he asked, as he drew u • hi:
animated quadrupjd, and forgot all
about his companion and the fact
that horse-hire goes by the hour.
“I growed ’in,” said Ctesar. as he
calmly deveured a berry that would
bring 25 cents in the New York

“You grew them? How?”

“The roof of the house was most

Kate Field on Mrs. Browning.
Mrs. Browning’s conversation
was most interesting. It was not
characterized by sallies of wit or
brilliant repartee, nor was it of that
nature which is most wolcome in
society. It was not frequently in
termingled with trenchant, quaint,
retnaiks, leavened with a quiet,
graceful humor of her own; but it
was eminently calculated for a
tete-a-tete. Mrs. Browning never
made an insignificant remark. Ail
that she said was always worth
hearing—a greater compliment
conl'l not be paid her. She was
most conscientious listener, giving
you her mind and heart as well as
iter magetic eye. Though the lat
ter spoke an eager language of
their own, she conversed slowly^
with a conciseness and point
that, added to a matchless earnest
ness, which was the predominant
trait of her conversation, as it was
her character, made her a most de
lightful companion. Persons were
never her theme unless pnblic char
acters were under discussion, or
friends were to be praised—which
kind office she frequently took upoD
herself. One never dreamed of fri
volities in Mrs. Browning’s presence
and gossip felt itself out of place.
Books and humanity, great deeds
and, above all, politics, which in
clude ail th» grand questions of the
day, were loremest iu her thoughts
and, therefore, oftenest on her lips.
