HAD BEEN’ TAUGHT TO KE A MAN.
■j—v URING the remainder of that
I I day Craig Tbompsou Impress
‘ u/A*," ed everybody who knew him
with the Idea that he was on
the point of haring one of his dreaded
“fits.” but if any one of them iiad stud
ied him closely he would have known
better, for the expression of his face
was childlike in its gentleness. Rat his
loquacity was gone, for he was think
ing. He had volunteered and been ac
cepted as the intermediary between win
and father, and his interview with
Richard Maxwell had left upon him an
Impression which he was etfdeavoring.
without success, to define. Lisle had
objected to Intermediation, believing
the direct way to be the best, but Craig
convinced hint that his own way was
preferable and had dispatched him on
a supposedly important errand to a
herdsman who had charge of an outly
ing bunch of cattle.
Richard Maxwell was a natural mar
tinet. Clockwork was not more exact
than were the rules of his life, from
which he never deviated. Ills employ
ees liked him. but at the same time
they feared him. The slightest-disobe
dience was regarded as a resignation
from his employ, and Lisle was in this
respect as subservient to him as they
were. Maxwell was a handsome man
too. Although his hair ami perfectly
trained mustache were as white as
snow, there was not a line upon Ids
perfect face. llis eyes were his most
remarkable features, for there was
within their depths something so som
ber, so threatening, so fierce and so re
pellent that strangers instinctively
avoided them and then looked again to
discover the cause. But it was undis
coverable. The more one looked the
mote obscure seemed the reason for
avoidance, for the surface glance upon
them, although searching and deep,
had nothing in it of those qualities
which at first repelled. 11 is eyes were
undeniably large, and they described a
perfect oval. If eyes can be intensely
black, bis were so. and in hue the long
lashes which fringed them and the
rather heavy brows that shaded them
were blacker still.
You would not have said that Lisle's
eyes were like ills father’s, but you
would have insisted that Richard Max
well’s eyes were like his son’s, with tlfe
difference that where the glance of the
elder man repelled th*at of the younger
attracted.
Lisle Maxwell’s training had been all
that the heart of a young man could
desire, and his father had been his tu
tor iu everything. Particularly bad bis
Instruction been thorough in every
branch of knowledge which properly
should belong to young manhood, and
Lisle could not remember when any
body save his father had waited upon
his wishes—at least until he was old
enough to go abroad. After that the
cowboys Instructed him in riding and
lasso throwing. lie could ride like an
Apache Indian, rope the wildest steer
that ever trod the ranges of Nevada,
shoot from the back of his galloping
horse with revolver or rifle infinitesi
mal articles thrown into the air by his
admiring instructors: he could leap
from his horse to the ground and
mount again while the creature was
upon a mad run and could cast his
handkerchief or ids hat upon the plain
and then, dashing past at the topmost
speed of his horse, pick it up again: he
could catch and mount and successful
ly ride the wildest and most untamed
horse that ever belonged on Crescent
and Cross ranch. There was nothing
along those ranges that man could do
which he had not been taught to do and
to do well, better even than his in
structors. and as a proficient in every
manly sport—in marksmanship, horse
manship and courage—he was known
and admired throughout that wide cir
cle which had its yearly rendezvous in
the Smoky valley.
Richard Maxwell had lived up to the
statement he made to his lawyer 17
years ago. Lisle Maxwell was a boy in
every generally accepted sense of the
word. He had grown up as a boy and
lived as a boy. lie had studied as a
boy and thought as a boy. and he had
no conception of what girls and women
were other than that they were some
thing to be religiously avoided. Re
garding the question of sex. his father
had kept him as profoundly ignorant
as a babe, and the words “girl” and
‘‘woman" were to him only terms for
the expression of a thought, and that
thought he had been taught to regard
as repugnant. Indian women—squaws
—he had seen frequently, but he had
not observed much difference between
them and the men except that they
were uglier, more brutai and dirtier.
Throughout all bis studies, and they
were manifold and thorough, books
calculated to direct his thoughts into
channels which might reveal to him his
real identity had been rigorously ex
cluded. and he had no more idea who
and what he really was than he pos
sessed 17 years ago when sleeping upon
his father’s arm he was stolen away
from his mother’s loving care. That is
why tne masculine pronoun is used
now in referring to him.
One ean understsad how snch a man
os Richard Maxwell might accomplish
al! this without once making a mis
take. Every question asked hy the
growing child was answered directly,
eont 'iy and decisively and with
Words that bordered so nearly upon the
whole truth that they left that part
which was uurevealed apparently un
worthy of mention. There was a code
of morals on that ranch compared with
: which the rigid rules of a Shaker set
j tiement would be a travesty, and the
j cowboy who once forgot or neglected
j them related his forgetfulness tluye
! after In the employ of another man
; than Richard Maxwell.
The Interior of the house where Lisle
had passed all these years was lavish
ly extravagant Nothing was left to be
desired. Abyssinia's greatest king
could not have provided a happier val
ley for anew Rasselas. with the excep
tion that there was no Diuarbls with
whom to share Its Joys. The entire
place, inside and outside, presented the
spectacle of the abode of a muu who
had regulated his whole life to the ful
fillment of one idea and had succeeded.
Seventeen years had not in a single
particular, witnessed the avoidance of
one of the multitudinous cares render
ed necessary for the fulfillment of a
theory such as his. utterly Impractic
able in its conception and scientifically
impossible of completion, and yet Lisle
Maxwell had arrived at the age of 18
without once imagining that woman is
a necessary quantity in existence and
in the perpetuation of mankind.
Nature had in some ways conspired
with Richard Maxwell, for she had not
hastened her work of development.
Neither had she retarded it. birt she
had done for Lisle what she rarely
does for woman. Muscular develop
ment had kept pace with feminine
growth, so that as yet there was noth
ing about the figure or Richard Max
well's son to suggest that lie was
not what he appeared to be. The sun
had lirowned his naturally olive tinted
skin so that the rich, red blood be
neath could only suggest its presence
by imparting a deeper tinge, and bis
coarse, dark hair, through which glis
tened a faint suggestion of burnished
copper, was kept half shorn, so that it
fell in wavy and rebellious masses be
neath the broad brim of his Texas
sombrero. She had given his brilliant
eyes a certain boldness of expression
which docs not belong to women, and
there was a poise about his bead which
had nothing suggestive of the feminine
about it. The loose garments in which
he was costumed were certainly and
yet imperceptibly different from those
of his companions, due in every in
stance to suggestions from the father,
who never forgot nor neglected any
thing tiiat had to do with his purposes.
Lisle’s voice was a rich contralto,
rather soft for a man. to be sure, but
sufficiently strong nevertheless. In a
drawing room, issuing from the throat
of a society belle, it would uot have
been out of place. There was really
nothing masculine about it, yet it was
heavy enough for a youth of 18. Craig
Thompson described it perfectly when
he said that it was "kinder cooing, like
a girl's.”
Craig’s Interview with the ranch
owner had been short, and when he
came away after it was over lie was
no better Informed concerning what
the outcome of Lisle's disobedience
would be than be was before it began.
The only change that had taken place
In the appearance of Richard Maxwell
since that night 17 years ago when he
had called upon his lawyer with the
baby In ills arms can be summed up In
the white hair and the bronzed shin
which time and exposure had impart
ed. In all other respects he was the
same. He and Thompson were known
to each other. During the time that
Maxwell had spent in Nevada they had
often met. so that uo introduction was
necessary.
“How are you. Maxwell?" was
Thompson’s greeting when they met.
and they shook hands cordially.
“Glad to see you. Thompson.” was
the rejoind.er. "The boys are getting
the stock in rather earlier than usual
this year, are they not?”
“A little. There’s more of it to get
in. I’ve got three or four thousand ex
tra. You must have as many.”
“More. I think:”
“I see you've brought your kid along
with you this time.’’ said Thompson,
ramming home a wad of tobacco with
which he was replenishing his pipe.
“Fine lad that. Maxwell.”
He did not look up as he made the re
mark. If he iiad. he would not have
seen the slightest alteration in the ex
pression of his companion. But Max
well did not immediately answer.
When he did. it was to ask a question.
“He has arrived, then?” he asked
quietly.
“Yes; about an hour or two ago. I
met him out on the ridge while I was
chasing a steer that would have given
me a deuce of a run if it hadn’t been
for young Lisle’s rope. He said he
wasn't coming to the round up. but 1
had to have some help to get that crit
ter In. so l persuaded him to come
along. Theu he volunteered to ride
out to a distant bunch of mine, and
that’s where he is now, 1 reckon. 1
wish 1 had a kid like him.”
“If you see him before I do. will you
send bitn to me?” said Maxwell.
“Sure. 1 say. Maxwell, have you
messed with anybody yet?”
“No. 1 shall follow my old custom
and mess with my own outfit. Thank
you all the same.”
“Humph!” thought Thompson as he
moved away from tlie presence of
Lisle’s father. “I'll bet a dozen of the
best 5-year-olds in my buneb that Dick
Maxwell la madder’n a hornet, only
he'll be hanged if lie’ll show It” Then
he mounted his horse and dashed away
In the direction that Lisle had taken.
They met half a mile outside of the
camp
••Say. Lisle." exclaimed Craig when
they had pulled up their borsiw and
were walking them along side by side,
•‘bow does the old man look when he’s
mad. eh?"
“Mas he angry, Mr. Thompson?”
“Call me Craig: it’s easier. That’s
what I’m trying to find out. I’ll be
blamed if l know whether lie was mad
or pleased. Are you going back if be
tells you that you’ve got to?”
“Certainly.”
“IVell. that's dutiful. 1 approve of it.
Rut I wouldn't do it!”
“You do not know my father.”
"Correct. i don’t But I know
Craig Thompson. Craig and me are
reasonably well acquainted, and lie
does lots of tilings that ! don’t approve
of. That would be one of ’em. I
ain’t advising you against your father’s
authority, not a bit of it Don’t get
any such Idea into your bead. Say.
there’s one thing that you might be
turning over in your noddle while you
are getting ready for the interview. It’s
r
"How are yon , Maxwell?" was Thomp
son's greeting
this: I managed to give him the Im
pression that you hadn’t any idea of
coming here; that you were only look
ing on to tin* scene over the ridge when
my steer came along and that you had
to help me in: that I asked you to do it.
See?”
“Thank you: yes.”
“Well, there he comes. Now you can
work the thing out as you think best,
but if you have a row with the old man
you’re welcome in my outfit at any
holy minute.”
He touched ids spurs to his horse and
rode on, leaving Lisle to meet his fa
ther alone.
“Is this the beginning of continued
disregard of my wishes. Lisle?” asked
Richard Maxwell as soon as he was
with his son. but without expressing
the least sign of anger.
“No. sir.”
“You know that 1 did not wish you
to come here, did you not?”
“1 did.”
“That is going against my wishes.”
“I cannot always be guided by them,
sir. The time will come when I will
be obliged to decide for myself. In
this one instance 1 have anticipated it.
1 have seen the camp. 1 will return
home now if you order me to do so.”
“I wish you to do so. I do not order
it.”
“Then I will remain. If the sur
roundings here will contaminate me, it
is better tiiat it should happen in your
presence than in your absence.”
“Very well, you may remain for a
day or two at least, with the under
standing tlidt if at any time I desire
you to return you will do so without
demur.”
“Certainly, sir.”
That was all there was of It, and
Craig Thompson, when he heard what
had taken place (for Lisle did not re
gard it out of place to repeat the con
versation to him), was delighted.
“Lisle,” he said, “you’ve got more
force and sand behind that pretty girl
face of yours than half of the men out
yonder. If. now, you could only sprout
a hair or two on that upper lip of
yours. I’d like it. They’ll grow, though,
after awhile.”

“I suffered for years with a
bronchical or lung trouble and
tried various remedies but. did not
obtain permanent relief until I
commenced using One Minute
Cough Cure," writes Rev/ James
Kirkman, evangelist of Belle
River, 111. “I have no hesitation
in recommending it to all sufferers
from maladies of this kind.” One
Minute Cough Cure affords imme
diate relief lor coughs, colds and
all kinds of throat and lung trou
bles. For croup it is unequaled.
Absolutely sa f e. Very pleasant to
take, never fails and is reallv a
favorite with the children. They

TWENTY-TWO NEGROES
CaDtured and Lodged in Jail at
Andalusia. Ala.
Montgomery, Ala., Dee. 5. —-A
special to the Advertiser from
I Andalusia, Ala., says:
Sheriff Bradshaw returned to
| Andalusia at 12 o’clock today with
j twenty-two negroes who were ac
! cused of complicity in the killing
of J. W. Dorsey, a merchant, and
Fale Atkinson, city marshal, at
Opp, last evening. The negroes
brought in today were chased with
bloodhounds and captured by the
sheriff and his posse.
There is great excitement here
and there are fears that the friends
of the dead white men will attempt
a wholesale lynching. The sheriff
landed the negroes safely in jail
here and has taken precautions to
resist the mob in case one is
formed.
J. W. Dorsey and Marshal Fale
Atkinson went to the turpentine
qu irters near Opp yesterday even
ing to arrest a negro who was ac
cused of stealing a pistol from a
white man. The negro was bar
ricaded in his cabin and fired on
the men as they approached. It
developed that the negro had about
fifty ot his fellow workmen in the
house with him. A general battle
ensued in which Dorsey was killed
and Atkinson fatally wounded,
dying of his injuries shortly after.
A man named Fitzsimmons, who
was wfith them, was shot twice in
the leg. Two negroes were killed
and several others wounded. The
names of these are at present un
known.
The attempt to capture the ne
groes at that time was given up
and Sheriff Bradshaw was sent for.
He left Andalusia at once for Opp.
J. W. Dorsey, one of the white
men killed, was one of the most
prominent men of Opp, being a
merchant, a member of the council
and treasurer of the towu.

Veritable Avalanche of Measures
Rushes to the Clerk’s Desk,
Washington, Dec. 2.--It was es
timated by officials of the house
that over 3,000 bills had been in
troduced before 1 o’clock today.
The bills took a wide range, cov
ering all those topics which have j
excited attention of late. Three j
Pacific cable bills, by Represent-!
atives Sherman of New York, Cor- j
liss, cf Michigan and Jones, of j
Washington, gave varying phrases
of this project, Mr. Jones propos
ing the northern route via Puget
sound, with an appropriation of
$8000,000; Mr. Corliss proposing a
government-built and' maintained
route, and Mr. Sherman offering
the plan allowing private partici
pation in the enterprise. Among
the other measures introduced
were those by Mr. Sulzer of New
York, protesting against the con
duct of the war in South Africa.
The fact that most diseases atise
from an impure or low condition of
the blood, is fully proven by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
