IN THE CANON.
BT EYKLYK RAYMOND.
TRAIN which had
been creeping
tiously across the
great bridge came to
a dead halt. For CS
few seconds th <v
weary passengers in
tbe “Pullman” con-
tinued to read,yawn,
or gaze from the windows with the same
apathy which had characterized their
interest since they had reached the
monotony of Arizona. But when the
halt was protracted and the train em-
ployes began to rush through the car with
excitement expressed on their usually
stolid faces, one after another the four
travelers grew curious to discover
through the steam covered panes the
cause of this fresh detention.
The old gentleman in the end section
muttered a mild oath and bruised his
fingers in a vain attempt to raise the
double sashes, then settled back with a
sigh and touched the button for Joe.
That long-suffering creature failing to
respond, the ringing was prolonged till
the jingling of the bell roused the occu-
pant of the state room from her nap, and
she appeared at its door with surprised
inquiry on her countenance. One glance
showed her that it was Number Eleven
who was manifesting so much im¬
patience; a second, that the train was
standing still above a wonderful gorge.
“Oh, sir I has anything happened?”
demanded Miss Denslow, strangely
ready to take alarm on that lonely home¬
ward journey in midwinter.
“That’s what I am trying to find out!
Where the—Don’t allow yourself to be
disturbed, miss. I will—Joe! Joe! por¬
ter!” Voice was added to ring in the
summons for the attendant.
The audacious, aggressive commer-
cial traveler, in section four, rose and
came down the aisle.
“I’ll find that porter, and I'll find out
what’s up ” he remarked to Helen in
passing.
She ignored him, but after he had
disappeared walked through the car and
seated herself before a window.
“Why, this is Canon Diablo 1 Strange
I did not recognize it.” -
“Rightly named, too,” retorted Num-
ber Eleven. “Seerns as if all the imps
in creation had been hired to pile those
rocks there! Wonder if that porter isn’t
one of them, and gone to join his fel¬
lows. If it were not for this foot I’d
soon find out what’s the matter. Joseph-
ph!” Ting-a-ling-a-ling!
“Well, there's a ‘Jonah’ somewhere
on this train, sure. Never made such a
trip since I’ve been on the road, and
that’s four years. We’re five hours late
now, and the bridge all torn up!” ex-
claimed the guard, entering hastily.
“The bridge torn up! What do vou
mean?” thundered Number Eleven.
“Fact, Some would-be robbers, or
‘greasers,’ been at work. Indians may-
be.”
“What—what will become of us?”
asked Miss Denslow, laiotiy.
“Oh! I forgot there was a lady
aboard, or I wouldn t have said that,
but we 11 be ali right. Found the thing
out in time. ’
“But you-have said it. Now tell me;
what. is to be done?’’
“Go back, of course, till the track is
repaired. We're beginning to move
now. See? But, upon my word, I'd
like to know who the fellow is. We’ve
broken an axle, blown out a cylinder
head, smashed the windows of the tour¬
ist car—had about forty such hinder-
ances since we left Los Angeles—and
now stalled here for nobody knows how
long.
Pullman conductors are less wary in
their conversation than train conductors,
Oil whose shoulders responsibility rests;
they are apt to be ebatty and com-
muuicative. Tiiey regard tue traveling
public as a guest to be entertained in
one fashion or another.
Helen Denslow did not look as if it
were a pleasant fo m of entertainment
just theu employed.
“How far back must we go? How
long will it take?”
“I hope not long,” and to ward off
further inquiry the official departed.
1 he girl looked hopelessly around. In
reality her situation had not changed,
she was no more alone than before, when
the consciousness of motion, progress,
had given her a sense of nearness to the
rest of t ic world; but now that tbe
progress had ceased she felt as if she
were. She observed afresh her com-
panions in the “Fucino.” She had ex-
changed speech with but one of them,
the gouty and ancient New Yorker in
section eleven. The somnolent presiJ-
mg elder in number five was awake at
last, and mildly curious, though as ex-
asptralingiy placid as if being stalled on
a trestle two hundred feet above that
awful chasm were a commonplace itici-
dent. The merchant from San Diego
bad ceased bis eternal figuring in a noto-
book, and now gazed through the glass,
though be remained indifferent to the
presence of any fellow creatures. The
commercial traveler had returned and
deposited himself, his plaid cap, and his
vagenta necktie upon the seat across the
aisle, where he kept up a running com-
ment on the state of things, which was
intended for Miss Denslow’s ears, but
was addressed to Number Eleven.
The train receded to the west brink of
the canon and came to another halt with
a thud which shook the heavy carriages
^
violently.
Joe appeared. His face wa* pallid
beneath the dark exterior.
“Fo’ de Jan’! We's don’ fixed now!”
The employes swarmed backward
thiough the car.
Before and behind the road had been
torn up, demolished. The fiendish work
of a few moments had caused the delay
of hours, aud already the early dusk was
settling down; But life was safe—so
far.
“Who could have done it—and why?”
“Some lurking band of thieves, no
doubt, hoping to rob the train?”
“They took a deal of trouble. They
could have ‘held us up' without making
themselves so much work,” said the man
t#fch the loud necktie. “There’* only
one solitary passenger in the other Pull¬
man.”
2f
rlL'LT- hardy thing? Yet, had why she should do., thu she have
thought of danger; or how foretell that
she would be the only woman on board
that east-bound train? And the doctor’s
letter had been so urgent. Her aunt was
dvine and needed her '• She felt as il
suffocating, and J V hurried toward the
door *
“I wouldn’t lady! Bettah stay inside.
Yo’ needn’ be sca’ed. We kin take ca’
o’ yo’, lady. Mebbe nuffin' won’t hap-
pen. Mebbe it’s on’y foolin’,” urged
the porter, gently. Helen had been a
generous patron and not fault-finding.
She had almost compensated to the chi¬
valrous porter for his empty car, and,
therefore, almost empty pocket.
“Open tbe door, quick! I must get
out of this prison!” In an instant she
had sprung to the frozen ground and
was running blindly, wildly forward.
She passed the train’s length and came
to the canon’s brink. As she flew by
them her pale face was illumined by the
flare of the trainmen’3 torches, searching
the disaster’s extent.
“Oh, lady! Don’t go down there!
Take care! It’s a tough place!”
At the touch of the brakeman’s hand
on her arm the girl stopped. Her un¬
reasoning fear left her as suddenly as it
had come, and she was her cool, alert
self again.
“Have you telegraphed for help?”
“That’s the worst—the wire are cut.”
‘‘Sent some one, then?”
“Yes—if the messenger ain’t stopped.”
“Did such a thing ever happen be¬
fore?”
The man answered evasively.
“It’s a wild country, lady. Consider¬
able money goes east now and again, and
there’s a diamond merchant travels the
road sometimes.”
“Jerry! Bring that light this way.”
As the glare of the torch faded the
moonlight filled its place. Miss Den-
slow’s fear gone, her curiosity remained.
Canon Diablo is a world’s wonder. Its
sides are covered with loose stones and
bowlders which look as if they had been
brought one by one and tossed into
place.
“I will go down a little way. We
must stay here for hours—I shall have no
other such a chance m all my life!”
The girl’s nostrils dilated. Her heart
beat eagerly. Here was a new experi¬
ence, indeed. It promised to be a satis¬
fying one; and she had fed her hungry
heart with such husks since that day, a
year before, when she had parted from
her lover in a quarrel. Moonlight always
brought his memory back to her with
cruel distinctness. He seemed very near
to her at that moment. “I wonder if he
did really go to the Pacific coast. They
so—and—it seems as if I must have
heard of him there; and yet—is that why
I hate going home? What a dunce I am!
Expecting to hear of anybody in such a
great country as California. Ah, this is
—marvelous 1 It is a desecration for
mortal to trespass here.”
Nevertheless, the desecration was ruth¬
lessly continued. The train aud its mis¬
haps were forgotten, while petty personal
interests dwarfed and faded out of sight
before the majesty of that moment in
that awful solitude. “I wonder if ever
before a woman’s foot passed over these
stones. How excited I am! All alone
with desolation and—God.”
By daylight, with less exaltation of
spirit, she could not have accomplished
the descent; but at that weird hour she
reached the bottom of the chasm safe if
trembling. Then she looked upward
across the canon, and shuddered. Its
further brink seemed to rest against the
sky. Backward and upward the height
appeared interminable. She sat down in
the shadow of a bowlder, and a delight-
f u | ? unmeasured season of repose suc-
ceeded the excitement of endeavor.
A penetrating chill aroused her, and
she looked upward again. “How can I
get back? How did I ever do it? She
stifled the returning dread of her soul
and began the ascent, over the rocks
which rolled and slipped and threatened
her destruction.
Suddenly she stopped. That echo of
falling bowlders was not caused by those
which her own feet had dislodged. Then
she saw the figures of four men silhouetted
against the sky, and, frozen with terror,
watched them descending toward her.
They were the train wreckers, she
thought. She was doomed-. She under¬
stood it clearly. She had put herself
out of the reach of aid. Impulse had
cost her her life, as it had once cost her
its happiness. Well, life without hap-
piness—that is, without William Glen-
ne y—wasn’t of great value. Death in
Canon Diablo—how strange!
Mis3 Denslow’s terror ended in an in-
difference which was half unconscious-
ness. But she was not of the sort which
faints. She listened dreamily to the
increasing sounds, and began to count;
curiously wondering how high her num-
bers would reach before her destruction
came,
“Up in the first thousand! But that
stone rolled very near. One thousand
and twenty-one—Oh!”
“Great heavens! Helen! You—here!”
For an instant she thought that she
had “crossed the border” and had found
him on the other side, a hypothesis
quite remote from the fact that he had
been that one solitary passenger in the
other Pullman,” to whom the loqua-
cious “ drummer” had so contemptuous-
ly referred. She passed her hand across
her confused eyes; then saw William
Gienney distinctly in the flesh and peri-
iously balanced upon a tottering ledge
with hands outstretched towards her.
“I’m sorry, Will. I—” «
“Sorry for what. That I’ve crj t . ' in
time to help you out of this canSh?
You can never get up alone and alive,
Or sorry for—the other?”
“I—I’m not afraid. I was in the car.
couldn’t stay there, and I came—I
came—”
He fancied that he heard between the
broken words the answer which he
craved. “Helen—this is a temple in-
deed! Will you?”
She looked at him bewildered.
He called the presiding elder and ex-
plained. All the happenings of life
were fallen leaves upon the shoulders of
this priest, who traveled heavenward,
This touched him as lightly as the restj
and he turned readily from the mysteiy
of the wonderful place he was exploring
to the subtler mystery of love; while
the commercial traveler and the unsocial
merchant had no choice bnt silently
witness the simple ceremony which then
took place on the perilous slope of

36th day —The first thing done in thq
senate Monday morning was to recommit
the soldiers’ home bill to the finance com¬
mittee. Several bills were read the first
time, among them the tax act. After a
short gession, the senate adjourned until
9 a. m. Tuesday.
THE HOUSE,
33d Day. —The house passed morning the by Sol¬
dier’s Home bill Thursday a
vote of 121 to 43. The only important
amendment to the bill—that the of Mr. question Hill,
of Mesriwether, submitting
to a vote of the people on the first Wed¬
nesday in January next; and that of Mr.
Hurst, of Walton, providing that noth¬
ing in the bill be construed to interfere
with the pensions to confederate soldiers,
were adopted. No extensive speeches
were made. Immediately upon the pas¬
sage of the bill, on motion of Mr. Flem¬
ing, it was transmitted to the senate.
The house decided to “finish up” the
appropriation bill before adjourning, and
Mr. Neel, of Floyd, offered an amend¬
ment appropriating $20,000 for the sup¬
port of the state soldiery, supporting carried, the it
in a good speech. It was
yeas being 81, the nays 60. And then
Mr. Rankin amended to ‘ ‘strike out”
everything and give the soldiers nothing

house then passed the appropiation bill
and adjourned.
34th Day. —The first feature of the
session of the house Friday morning wai
a motion by Mr. Rankin to reconsider so
much of the journal as relates to the pass¬
age of the general appropriation bill. He
thought the appropriation of $20,000 for
the support of the state soldiery was too
much, and he was opposed to tbe issuance
of $868,000 in bonds for the purpose of
funding the interest on the public debt,
because he supposed the issuance of these
bonds would increaseYaxatiou. The mo¬
tion was overwhelmingly defeated, the
yeas being only 43 to reconsider, and the
nays 98. The bill “to provide penalties
for certain violation^ of the penal Jaws of
this state as defined or described in the
sections of the code of 1882, and the
statutes referred to in this act, to provide
that all ordinary misdemeanors shall be
punished as prescribed in section 4310 of
the code,” was passed. The senate bill
to ereate a board for the equalization of
taxes levied on real and personal property,
was also passed. A number of new bills
were introduced and referred. A resolu¬
tion by Mr. Calvin was adopted providing
for two sessions of the house next week,
the one from 9 to 1 in the morning, the
other from 7:30 to 9:30 and at night. pending The
“tax” bill was taken up, ita
consideration the house adjourned until
half-past s^ven o’clock p. m.
At the night sision of the hoiiSS-rihe
tax bill whs passed and at once sent to
the senate. Few changes—none of great
importance—were made in its treated provisions.

are shut in by the serrated mountains
surrounding the wide whole valley. running in
The straight streets,
parallel lines from north to south and

whole place a superannuated appearance.
These houses are always built in four
blocks, with one or two patios, or spa¬
cious court-yards. On tw o sides of this
patio there is generally a narrow veranda
or some projecting masonary, w T hich
serves enables as a protection from the rain, dry-shod and
the occupant to reach
the wide staircase with high stone steps
leading to the upper rooms. These
rooms, which are mostly paved with tiles
instead of planks, open on to a gallery
running trade around the court, with a balus¬
against, at a convenient balustrade height decked for leaning
which is with
numerous pots of flowers and shrubs.
The first story alone is used to live in,
the ground-floor being occupied by shops,
magazines, or stables. The better houses
are built of freestone, whilst the poor
tenements consist of a material know n as
amygdaloid, which is a variety of porous
trap or basaltic rock of a reddish color,
the blocks being bound together w T ith
cement or sand. Some buildings have
walls of great thickness, three feet or
more.
The foundations of most of the houses
being laid in water or and in marshy flats,
they have no cellars, are really great
cubes of masonry kept in place by their
ow n w r cight.
the From the first thing in traffic; the morning richly
streets are full of
dressed horsemen, hired carriages, noisy
carts w ith unoiled wheels, draw n by four,
six, or eight mules, troops of donkeys
and mules loaded with all manner of
packages, jostle each other in the road¬
way. Water-carriers, or aguadors, com¬
pletely clad in leather, aud wearing a
kind of jockey cap also of leather, be¬
siege the public fountains, carrying two
huge amphora*, kept in place by straps,
which cross on the head over a palm-leaf
cap w T ith leather visor.
Indian men and women pass to vnd
fro screaming out in ear-splitting tones
the names of what they have to sell,
fruits, vegetables, chickens, etc., carry¬
ing everything on their backs in wfleker-
w r ork baskets, fastened on to their shoul •
ders like soldiers’ knapsacks, but sup¬
ported by a leather thong passed across
the forehead beneath the broad-brimmed
straw sombreros, or worn just under the
arms across the chest.
Street boys follow the passers-by,
breathlessly shouting out the names of
the daily papers and the numbers of the
last tickets of the Loteria National, or
National Lottery. You pause an instant,
you give a silver coin—horror of horrors,
you have been noticed, and you are im¬
mediately surrounded by twenty of beggars
of all ages, followed by dozens mangy
yellow dogs, which appear from every
side, and in piteous tones you are im¬
plored, “For the sake of Jesus, Joseph, dole.
and Mary, senor, give a dole, a little
Oh, dear little friend [amiguito], God

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet¬
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow¬
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul¬
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
FARM NOTES.
You can never grade up the cattle un¬
less you use better animals for breeding.
The time has gone for keeping a steer
until he is four years old before sending
to market.
Stock that is continually tempted by
weak fences should not be blamed for
becoming “breachy.”
A box six inches high and two feet
square kept filled with cleaD, dry
dirt makes a good dust bath.
Don’t buy a cow with high head and
eyes starling from sockets. She is off in
disposition, and you will be a loser.
If ducks can have a free range dur¬
ing the day and comfortable quarters
at night they can readily be kept
healthy.
Milking should be done with the
greatest regularity. An hour’s time out
of the way is harmful to the cow every
time.
Next to the Jersey Red, the Poland
China breed is considered to rank highest
in regard to hardiness and ability to re¬
sist disease.
The calf is not so stupid as he looks.
When his mother fails to answer his de¬
mands be gives her a “milk punch,” and
the old lady comes down.
Light hogs prepared for early market
are often far more profit than if kept
until later when prices are low because of
the rush of fresh pork.
The wheels of the mowing m&chiaes
are made use of for constructing low-
dowu wagons with wide rimmed wheels,
that prove to be just the thing.
Provide plenty of bedding for the
3heep during the winter so as to keep
the wool out of the dirt, and at the same
time it will aid, to keep the sheep dry.
A well known Australian wool grower
raises 200 acres of rape for his sheep,
and he speaks in the highest terms of its
value. He has fattened twenty sheep per
acre on his rape field.
If you have barb wire fence around
your pasture it may pay to tie scraps of
tin or some other substance to the wires
to prevent the animals from running
against it without seeing it.
Scaly legs are eyesores. With such
3imple remedies as applying vaseline or
lard, to which a few drops of carbolic
adid has been added, there is no excuse
for their presence in a well kept flock of
poultry.
The chaff from wheat is one of the
best materials for use on the floor of the.
poultry house. Keep the chaff dry and
under cover. It not only but permits of easy
cleaning of the house, acts as an ab¬
sorbent and also serves as litter in which
the hens may scratch for food.
A large crop of apples may be grown
when a hive of bees is stationed in the
orchard. The pollen is rubbed from
their bodies against the pistils of thou¬
sands of flowers, which thus become fer¬
tilized. Many of the strange feats of
hybridizing varieties are due the agency
of bees.
Needed Further Instructions.
Prison Warden—“It’s just been found
i-ut that you did’nt commit that crime
you’ve been in for all these years, and so
the governor has pardoned you.”
Inuoeent Man— “Urn—I’m pardoned,

Prison Warden—“Y-e-s, but don’t go
yet. I’ll have telegraph for further in¬
structions.”
Innocent Man—“What about?”
Prison Warden—“Seems to me that
coasideriu’ that you hadn’t any business
here, you ought to pay the state for your
board.”
