I— NOT- i j LIKE OTHER MEN; ,y By Frederic Van Rensselaer Bey, > Author of “The Brotherhood of Silence," “The Quality of a Sin,” Etc. ; Copyright, 1101, by Frederic Van Rensselaer Dey. ; CHAPTER 111. 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.” [TO BE CONTINUED.J Aii Evangelist’s Story. “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.

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. threethousAnd bills. 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. A Wonderful Discovery.
