my simplicity asked my friend where was
the bullocks’ blood. He laughed very
heartily at my ignorance, and told me there
bad not been such a thing used iu Green
ock Bince he had known anything about
the trade, now over thirty years. What
struck me most was the sand and mud
thgr'my. Irieud showed me had been taken
out of the raw sugar when I saw it filtered;
and I that day registered a vow that I
would never again be tempted to buy “real
raw sugar” for domestic use. I shudder
as I think of the quantity of mud that .1
must have eaten iu my time, and feel an
noyed at having been deluded into paying
a penny a pound more for the “real raw
sugar” than I could have bought the pure
refined article for. I told my friend what
was passing through my mind, at which
he again laughed, and said: “Every one
that comes to see through the refinery says
the same thing. You sometime hear gro
cers charged with putting sand in their
sugar. They really do nothing of the sort.
It would not pay them to do so, even if
they had a mind. If the use of raw sugar
were given up by the public, we would
never again hear of such an accusation
against the poor grocer.” My friend, see
ing the disgust 1 had displayed at the sand
and mud, took me to the laboratory in con
nection with the refinery, where he said ht
would show me even worse than mud iu
the raw sugar. He took a small glass ves
sel like a tumbler, into which he put about
a teaspoonful of “real raw sugar,” such as
is sold in the shops, and then poured some
water slightly heated over it. In a short
time little specks appeared on the surface,
scarcely visible to tbe naked eye, two or
three of which be placed under a micro
scope and bade me look through it. To
my amazemeut I saw little insects like lice
crawling about. 1 asked what they were,

that are not known there—or have not been
known heretofore. Hut, however, there is
dn end to ail things,and tbe time has come
when the outlaw will have to observe the
laws of the vigilantes or take the conse
quences—cold buck shot. A little over a
week ago a character named “Arkansaw,’’
and the man who killed the “Kid” last
summer, With'a gang of followers, went
over to East Pierre and began making
themselves a little too numerous with their
pistols. Arkansaw would occasionally
puli eut his pistol, cock it and request some
peaceable citizen to come to him, and if
the least hesitancy was observed in com
plying with this request, the result would
be a volley of pistol Shots, after which
Arkansaw would put his revolver hack in
the holster and resume his search for
another tender foot. Sometimes a shot or
two would take effect, but that didn’t mat
ter; it only gave a little spice to hi* per
formances. His entire gang was composed
of just such men as himself, aud on one
afternoon they succeeded in creating terror
wherever they made their appearance. After
creating all the disturbance they
could,and taking a prisoner awaylroina Uni
ted States deputy marshal, they went to West
; Pierre, for the avowed purpose of returning
and cleaning out the town. They did return,
, but were met by two hundred vigilantes,
and two hundred shotguns staring them
1 m the face, and were requested to turn
! immediately and never agaiD show them-
■ selves in East Pierre. The request was com
plied with, but AMmnsaw and gang got
on the warpath, each one strapping
! on three or four revolvers, the entire out-
' fit, about one hundred and fifty outlaws,
- cowboys and bullwhaekers, went over to
> East Pierre to “clean out” the town, as
they termed it. It was abont ten o’clock
when they got in, and went directly to the
dance house, now and then shooting out a
s light in some store or house as they passed
3 by. They shot everything—windows,
3 lights, men, horses, and all had to take it.

The oommandant did not utter a word;
but the sombre fire burning in his black

nervous twitching of his fingers, plainly
indicated that something extraordinary was
about to happen.

object, he was confined for six months in
a dark, damp, loathsome dungeon.

In consequence of this interview Don
Diego Rtzionon was set at liberty, fur-

snd a large sum in gold.
One the day after his release he visited
file seraglio, where his arrival was already
txpected.
Some eunuchs respectfully conducted

spoke the Turkish language fluently, for
some time. Suddenly he said to Don
