CHAPTER XIX
OArTunKn.
An old man Btood drinking at tho Silvei
Mino bar. TVo have seen him boforo—in
Pickles’ Paradise n wook earlier. During
the weok, under various disguisos, tho out
law line boon working tho city.
“Your troat, oh? Wal, I don’t care ef I
do."
Tho sound of a voico at his elbow caused
Ilonlip to start and turn to look into n face
that was not now to him—it wns tho face
of Jerry Siraync!
“Yaas, it in my troat,’’ uttered the Boom
ing old man. At tho saino moment hia
baud fell to n concealed weapon. No won-
dor tho outlaw wag perturbed, since he had
shot and killed this man onoo, and now he
had risen to confront him liko an avenging
Nemesis.
Burdon Drono believed thnt ho had nol
boon recognized, and so his foelings be
came quietly cnlm. Ho ordered the liquor
on onco more, and together tho two drank.
“That nr's what 1 call tip-top bloar-oved
remorse," uttered Ilonlip, smacking his lips.
“It’s the wust liquor I ovor tasted," re
torted Jerry Kwayno, who wore a bandage
about his temples under his hat, tho odge
tinged with blood, just visible.
“Eh, you mean "
But Ilonlip did not get thoeomploto son-
tenco before tho gamblers and toughs of
thnt den.
A hand went up and fastened itself In
his beard. A quick, sharp jerk, and the
hirsute nppondago wns in tho hand of Jorr.v
Bwayue, revealing, in tho place of nn old
countenance, the smoothly shaved yiBage
of the outlnw, Burden Brono.
This by-play had boon witnessed by
many, and some thoro wero who recognized
the countenance of tho now familiar out
law from tho numerous descriptions thnt
had boon circulated throughout Bilvorsand.
One of thoso who happened to stand
nonrest to Burden Drono whon he wns un
masked wns llragg Clamper, the SheritT.
This individual lmd como in for a drink
and to cast his eaglo oyo ovor tho faces oi
thoso assembled, llo was anxious to win
tho roward offored for tho nrrost of Burdon
Brono, and had been looking most indus
triously for thnt individual during tho past
wook.
And now tho gaino hnd boon thrust, as
it wero, into his hand, through no effort of
hiB own.
"Burden Brono, the outlaw!” yelled Jer
ry Nwnyuo, at tho samo timo thrusting for
ward n oookod revolver.
But with nil his cutonoss Jerry Swayne
wns not (piick enough to avoid tho bunch
of boneB thnt Durdon Drono hurled from
his shoulder, and with thnt outcry on his
lips tho innkooper’s son wont to the floor
liko n log.
Yells and cries now filled tho room.
As Drono turned to (loo, tho butt end of
a revolver came down upon his head, Rend
ing ton thousand stars to dance boforo his
eyes. It was Brngg (Jlnmpor who wielded
tho weapon, and not only onco but twioe,
thrice d:d ho strike Drono ovor tho head
with all tho strength that ho could throw
Into his good right arm. It had the offect
desired.
Tho outlaw sank senseless to tho floor,
and by tho timo Jerry Kwayno rogninod his
foot tho Sheriff had the shackles on the
limbs and wrists of Durdon Drono,
“You've got (ho devil fast; I’m glad ot
it, for a more merciless scoundrol doesn't
live,” breathed Jerry through his thick lips.
Scowling faces gathorod about tho pris
oner and his captor, and more thnn ono bit
of steel gleamed in tho light.
"Stand back and givo the follow nir,”
commanded Drngg (Tamper, nR ho rose to
his feet and wavod the crowd baok. "He
will como to in a minute.”
“You hnvo killed him.”
“It's murder."
At this moment Engle Gray and hie
young friend Wager, alarmed by tho uoiso,
appeared upon tho scono and pushed to tho
Bldo of the fallen outlaw.
“Dead?"
“No, only stunned," said the Sheriff.
“Lend a hand, Mr. Wager, and we’ll got
tho follow outside. Stand bnck; stand
back all of you," the Inst words in a loud
voico.
Like all crowds they hugged tho closer
after thnt, but Engle Gray soon clonred a
road by displaying a cocked revolvor in
either hand, ami Wngor, with tho Sheriff,
lifted and boro tho captured outlaw to tho
walk without, lloro a dray was summoned,
and tho prisoner laid upon it
“To the 'cnstlo' at onco,” ordered Bragg
Olnmpor.
Tho dray rolled away, and with tho Sheriff
went Wallis Wugor arid tho dotectivo.
During tho ride they lonrned how tho
capture had been made, Mr. Clamper tak
ing the principal share of credit to himself,
“It inquired presence of mind and light
ning movement," continued Clamper, “and
I used both satisfactorily. ”
“it seems so,” admitted Wagor.
' Engle Gray was silent during the journey
to tho jail. He had soon tho face of Jerry
Swayne with the crowd at the Silver Mine,
and ho wonderod wliut ho could bo doing
in Silversnnd, if his cousin had boon found
and returned to her home. Tho detective
began to suspect that all was not as well as
he had surmisod. Iva might bo in a dan
gerous situation: she might be dead. In
spito of himself Engle Gray had become
deeply interested in the young girl who had
saved his life when Burden Drono had so
cunningly plauned his destruction.
Durden Drono had not fully rocovered
whon tho jail, a substantial wood structure,
wns roacliod, and so Wager and his detective
friend did not attempt to interview him at
that time. They saw him locked in nn iron
cell, ar-1 with elated feelings returned to
tho hotol.
As they entered, a pair of sullon rod eyes
glared snvagelv at them from beneath the
rim of a slouched hat—tho eyes of Jerry
Swayne. ’’
“I’ll get oven with them chaps," muttered
the evil voung rascal. “I think thnt Drono
ohap win Boon bo disposed of; but I must
pee him, and seo to it thnt he makes no
confession of the past to any ono but me.
Dad was alius mighty careful not to tell mo
tho true story of Iva, which I think this
Brono knows something nbout. To-mor
row will be time enough to visit the jail.”
After that tho young man made it a point
to watch and listen when he could to the
conversation of Engle Gray and his com
panion.
It did not please Jerry to note thnt these
men were on such friendly terms. He had
in his hemt a plan, howover, that would
Soon sunder the two as widely apart as the
polos, ho believed.
On tho following day, through tho influ
ence of Drngg Cinmpor, who realized that
it wns through Jerry Swayne that ho se
cured the outlaw, the young man from Dog
Tavern wns admitted to the cell of Durdon
Brono.
As may be supposed, tho outinw was not
in a pleasant mood; with his head swelled
and Bore from its recent beating, Jerry re
minded him of the fact that it was to the
tavern-keeper's son that he owed his cap
ture.
“How ore you feeling this morning. Bur
den?” queried Jerry, ns the cell-door
clanged to upon his Btnlwart person.
“Lovely!” exclaimed the outlaw.^rattling

The outlaw wns silent
Ho clinfod in bonds, and his defective
left oyo showod its white with savage per
tinacity. This was a sign that Brono wns
mad bonoath tho surface, no mnttor whnt
tho outside might roveal.
"I’ve como for tho purpose of asking you
a few questions, Drono."
“Have you? How kind to romomber mo
in misfortune!"
“Vos. I’ve oue of lira tenderost hearts
la tho world. Aren't you ashamed of try
ing to kill mo?”
“J am sorry I didn’t," grated Burdon.
“How in the deuce did you escape.”
“Dlnyod ’possum. Your bullet only
grazed my skull. I've hnd a big revongo
siuco you loft tho mountains. Would you
liko to hoar about it? I’ll tell you some
timo, but nol now. This morning I seok
information from you. I hnvo been led to
believe, no matter from what source, that
yon know something of tho past in tho
lives of dnd and mother, something that
will throw a heap of light on the girl Iva.
Will you tell mo nbout it, Durden Brono?”
“Note word.”
“You won’t? Then hoar me, scoundrol!
I’ll set the mob on you boforo the sun sets,
and you will hang' or bo torn limb from

“I nro glad thnt you nro so virtuous,”
sneered the outlaw. “I boliovo, however,

country, even to punish me."
“What do you moan?”
“I menu that you will not blast nil hopo

meaning laugh.
Wallis Wngor caught ot the man’s words
with avidity.

Identical, but- "

CONSUl.TINll THE PRISONER.
,lorry Swayne did not depart, howover,
and he had no thought of doing so. Turn
ing onco nround, ho faood tho prisonet
with:
"I want tho truth from you, Burden
Drono, or I swear lo you that I’ll send you
io death boforti noon—do you mind?"
"Ilow can you do thnt?"
"Easy enough. There's a bad feeling
among (he citizousof Silvorsnndto’ardH tho
hoiso thieves and robbers, who've lately

place amt Donvor City. It wouldn't take a

murder of old Frodon’s still fresh "
"I lmd no hand in that,” interrupted tho
chained outlaw.
“No? Well, I'm not bo sure of that,”
grunted Jerry, with a queer expression of
tho oyes. “it lays betwixt you'u anothor
feller that I would liko lo seo dance on
nothin', hut lot that drop, "i'wouldn’t take
much to inako tho crowd think you did
that murder, and ’’
“Aud, so you would willingly lend thorn to
murder mo whon I am inuooont? I must
say you are the lowest, most heartless
scoundrel I over set oyes on," utterod Bur-
deu Drono, in a voico evincing just a little
of tho couceutrntod wrath that was boiling
within."
"Well, you didn’t hesitate to shoot mo
liko a dog’when you imagined I stood in
your path, Durdon Drono. It’s dog oat
dog, and th(H dog's on top just at the pro.i-
ont time,” sueorod the innkeeper's son
surlily. “I’m porfeot'y willing to seo you
hung to a lamp-post, or to tho limb of a
tree; Imt (f you sorve me, as you easily can,
1 will see that you nro free boforo the dnwn
of another day."
“Dig words from a wenk stomnoh,” sneer-
nil Durdon Brono.
“As you plenso."
There wns an angry flnmo in tho young
fellow’s oyo when ho tiirnod to go out.
Tho outlaw refused to call him buck, forho
bold no lovo for llio sou of Lucius Swnyne,
aud ho did not credit him with tho power
ho professed to hnvo.
“I wouldn’t give information free for any
man's benefit, muttered Burden Brono, as
tho door clanged to after his visitor.
Homo timo tutor, tho captive outlaw had
two othor visitors, Eagle Gray and Wallace
Wager.
“Coufound yon," ejaculatod Burdon
Brono, the inomont his oyos rested on tho
detective. "It seoins my olegant trap did
not work after all. How in tho nuino of
goodness did you eseaiiu, Eaglo Gray?”
“Easy enough. I will explain it to you
at anothor time,” returned tho dotectivo,
with a siuilo. “We’re hero seeking infor
mation that you onu givo if you choose."
"Undoubtedly. Wkou a man's down,
(ho whole neighborhood is ready to give
him a kick. I suppose you want mo to
confoss that 1 am guilty of nil the ovil that
lias boon committed from New York to tho
llookies, siuco I was old enough to lift a
revolvor or wield a knife. Ilenve ahead,
gentlemen; I will try anil withstand tho
tire. ”
“Your sarcasm is lost on me,” snid Wal
lis Wagor at this moment. “1 hnvo some
thing lioio and am exceedingly nnxious to
tiud the mate."
’The young man suddonly hold a single
cuff-button boforo theeyosof the prisoner,
whose hands bail been set froo siuoo we
saw him before, imt who was ohaiuod to
the wall by onennkle.
"Let me look at it?"
Burden Drono bold out his knnd.
"It doesn’t mailer," nnd Wagor drew it
away. "You can tell mo if you hnvo tho
mate to it?"
"You are afraid to trust me with a bit of
hrnss jewelry. I miBtruHt that you have
tho stingy traits of your uncle, young man,"
“Iln! thon you ’’
“Know you, Robert Bangor. Your fnoe
would givo you away, I reokon, anywhoro.
You've got your undo’s eyes and hair to
perfection. I’m not blind if I be a fool,"
retorted Burden Drono, grimly.
“I will not admit that you hnvo guessed
tho truth. Dili hero, taka tho button nnd
toll me where you lost it," said tho young
man.
Drono took tho jowol nnd turned it over
oarofully in his hand.
“ I never did lose it"
“Isn’t it yours?”
"No. I novel' saw it before to-day.”
Instantly Englo Gray stepped to tho
front and snid, in a stern vo.ee:
“You utter a falsehood, Burden Brono.
You stole thnt ontt'-button nnd its mnt6
from me in Yonkers a year ago."
The keen eyes of tho dotootive pene
trated liko steel darts. Barden Brono failed
to flinch, howover.
Go West, young man!” snoored tho out
law. “Now that I am safely chained you
can como horo aud insult me. As if I
would steal such a paltry gom ns that. Bah!"
Thon tho prisoner flung the cuff-button
to tho floor aud ground it beneath his heol
before Wallis Wagor could prevent tho fell
work.
“You scoundrel!” ejaculated Wager, as
he bent nnd gathorod the crushed objoot
from the floor. “You have ruined this,
»ut it will stand as a witness against yo.<
rlien you least expect it. There will be no
joed to take him to Now York, Eagle; we
«vill hang him horo for tho cruel murder of
tSamuel Eredou."
The young man spoke with considerable
tooting
Tho cool demenuor of Burden Brono did
not change.
“You will hang an innocent man if you
ilo thnt,” ho said, quickly.
' Dare you deny that you wero at Bog
Tavern on tho night of August 29th, and
Ihore plunged a knife into the heart of my
old friend Eredou?" cried Wnllis Wager,
regarding the prisoner menacingly.
" Don't scowl at mo, young nmn. I was
not wi.bin a Bcore of miles of Bog Tavern
nn tho night in question. I shall be nble
to prove that, easily enough. I don’t think,
however, that you fellows will ever be
foolish enough to bring me to trial.”
“What do you mean by that?” demanded
Engle Gray.
“I menu that I wns not fool enough to
run my head into a trap when I came to
Bilvorsand. You dare not bring me to
trial, ” asserted Burden Brono, with a cool
confidence that was surprising.
“We will show yon.”

An Old Grafter, says in the Now York
Tribune: It matters little how tho graft
is set if only the cut which exposes ils
wood and the lino between bark nnd
wood is made smoothly, so that it cun at
some point nt least como into closo con
tact with the same line or face on tho
stock, for this line is tho only one on
which new growth is made. Tho con
tact must be close nnd held firmly cither
by a tie or by tho natural pressure of a
cleft stock. Tho wax used to cover
every pnrt of the wound closely nnd com
pletely water tight, must not have any
free fnt or oil to sonk out and clog the
circulation from cell to cell, nnd the for
mation of new ones to effect the desired
union. Tho grafts must be of sound
wood, fresh and plump. Cherry und
plum (which must be grafted early to
m
secure success) nro usually kept through
tho winter in compact moss, roasted saw

jury by winter winds nnd frosts by which
they are liable to suffer.

I heard a good story to-riny about an
ex-Congrcssnmn from a Western State,
who roeently made a tour through Eu
rope with a party of friends. Whon ho
got to Paris ho sought out tho Ameri
can Legation and burst in on tho Secre
tary in charge at tho timo in a towering
rage. Ho complained to tho secretary
In very violent language that ho had
been robbed by tho railway officials.
Tlioy had refused to let him or iris party
out of tho depot when they arrived in
Paris without the payment of a very
considerable number of franoe. Ho
thought it nn outrage that a distin
guished American ot his friends could
not travel through Franco without pay
ing tribute to brigands. Ho wanted tho
Secretary of Legation to write at onco
to the president of tho railway, demand
ing tho instant return of the money lie
hnd been uuwarnuitedly compelled to
nay.
“Tell him who I am,” ho said, “and
he’ll como down promptly with tlio
duents—francs, I mean.”
Thou tho secretary, first southing him
with sympathetic expressions, drew
from lnm some facts which ho had
omitted to stato. Yes, ho had surrend
ered hiB railway tieket. His friends had
surrondorod theirs. And yes, lie had
received a small picoo of green paper in
exchango. Yes, it had some printing
on it. But was French nonsense of
somo sort—gibberish; ho couldn’t make
head or toil of it.
“Wliut did you do with it?” asked
tho secretary.
“Why, I throw it out of tho window,”
ho replied. “I didn’t wnut it; somo
Froncli trash, any way. Thon when I
got to Paris and wo started to walk out
of tho ilopot, just oh we ilo at home, by
George, tlioy stopped us and wouldn't
lot us out because wo didn’t have that
infernal pieeo of green paper. It took
mo half an hour to find out what tlioy
wanted, for none of them could speak
English, nnd I couldn’t understand their
gibberish. But I finally made out that
tlioy wanted that piece of jiapor or tho
inonoy I told you about. I saw thnt
thore was no other way out, so I handed
over the money.”
Tho secretary understood it all then.
He told the distinguished Ron of the
West that ho would inako the required
demand of the railway company at once,
and so sent him happily to his hotel.
Then ho Bat. down and made the best
story he oould out of it to the president
ing. If we set near tho extremity of a
healthy branch wo sec the fruit sooner,
but have less of it and smaller specimens,
becauso of the scantier supply of sap so
far out from the roots. Anil there Ls risk

terior shoots of tlie graft drying too
much to receive the sup when it arrives.

least. They must neither l-e swelled

fortune?” snid tho distressed son-in-law.
“Yes, I read the nows.”
“Well, I want you to got me a nico

Farm and Garden Notes.
Good drainngo is essential to a good
garden.
Cauliflower is a delicious vegetable,
not ns well known outside our lnrgo cities
ns it should be.
Horses need extra enro aud plenty of
time to eat in when first put to farm
work in the spring.
Tho thorough use of currycomb and
brush on horses und cows that nro shed
ding their conts will pay.
Plant Lima beans on the poorest soil
you have, supply no manure and stop tho
growtli of vines at the top of tho poles by
successive pinching*.
Cows that kick or draw milk from
their udders should ho sent to tho
butcher. Remedies to prevent such vices
are not only useless ns permanent cures,
but also troublesome to apply.
When shoe)) are hurdled on small areas
it should not bo overlooked that in
addition to tho profit they limy give tho
animals distribute the ninnuro evenly,
pressing it into tho soil with their hoofs,
which is quite an item if the expenso of
hauling manure tie considered.
Whenever sheep are afflicted with ticks
or other animals with vermin, it indicates
a low condition of tho system, caused
cither by tho vermin in the first place, or
by improper feeding. Tho better tho
condition of the animals the less liability
to attack. They will not improve until
relieved, and the longer this do delayed
the moro difficult it will become.
Tho deeper tho preparation of tho soil
tho deeper will the roots penetrate, thus
advancing closer to moisture, as well as
permitting of the growth of a large pro
portion of those rootlets that collect food.
If the Boil lie shallow and the subsoil hard
the roots will spread nearer tho surface,
thus rendering them not only more liable
to being winter killed, Imt also to damage
from drought.

Speaking of cattle, thoro is a cattle
loon in Texas, near Corpus (Jliristi,
Mrs. Rogers, who is said to bo worth
$1,000,000, and who lias many times ns
much stock as Job hod in lira most pros
perous days. Hor husband in a preach
er, but Mrs. Rogers manages tho busi
ness. She hoILs tho stock herself, buys
all the supplies and can ride a horse as
well us any of tho many cowboys whom
sho has in iter employ. Anothor cattle
3 noon is tho widow of Gon. Meredith of
llinois, and sho breeds a different kind
of cattle from Mrs. Rogers. Her stook
is of a bettor grade. Meredith was
worth about $500,000 along in tho seven
ties, but ho failed. His wife took what
wns left of tlio herd, managed it, and
made inonoy. Sho wns content with a
good round price for her stock, and she
did not beliove in owning $10,000 bulls
and $5,000 calves. One of tlio wealthiest
women of Ohio is Mrs. George Ward
Nichols, who is said to have an income
of $200,000. Sho is the daughter of
Joseph Longworth, nnd sho is the found-
and proprvtor of tho Roekwood pot
ty, which is noted for its exquisite
tery,
workmanship both in Europe and Amer

“Detter go slow."
“Threats are idle at this time," said Wal-
ihols took up tho
tery craze when it came over tho coun
try a few years ago. Sho developed the
art tastes of Cincinnati, nnd established
this factory. Sho works in it about live
hours daily, niul is constantly nt work

better for breeding purposes thim those
two or three years old tins done much to
impair the vigor of swine. The custom
of using young rows grew out of tho loss
of young pigs by pressure from the heavy
dams, but a lnrgo breeding sow should
not be fat and heavy. A sow over two
years old will give more milk than u
younger one, and, us a rule, she will pro
duce stronger pigs.
Tho reason poultry killed at home,
though young, is not ns tender ns that
bought at tlio market, is that the fennel
is generally not killed until wanted, and
when eaten is still rigid with death, while
that bought at the poulterer’s Iras been
killed at least hours—more often days.
Poultry ought to tic killed Rcvcral days
before being eaten, dressed at once, and,
with a few bits of charcoal in it, hung in
a cool place. f
The hereditary law of transmission ol
vigor and health holds as strongly in the
vegetable as in the animal kingdom, ac
cording to experiment. E. 8. Goff se
lected seeds from a feeble tomato plant,
and also from it healthy plant of the samo
variety. A row of feeble plants and a row
of healthy plants were the result. Suc
cessive experiments showed the samo dif
ference. Seeds from nn immature or green
tomato produced feeble plants.
Tho easiest and surest way to destroy
Canada thistles is to give nn absolute
summer fallow, by which no green tiling
is allowed to appear above the surface.
Shallow plowing once in two weeks dur
ing one season’s growth will do this. If
there bo rocks, stumps, etc., all these
places must be hoed thoroughly nt each
plowing. If the remaining weak roots
should send up tops the next season, a
thorough cultivation in corn will kill out
those remaining. The prevention of any
green plant from milking leaves for one
whole season will totally eradicate it.
Avenging tut Outrage.
Dumley hnd been talking rather iuoto
thnn usual—which wns unnecessary—
when Featherly interrupted him and
said;
“By the way, Dumlcy, I had a hideous
dream about you lust night.”
“About me?”
“Yes. I dreamt that a tall figure, clad
in flowing garments of white,entered tho
room where you were sleeping and fell
upon you with both hands nnd feet. Af
ter pounding you into unconsciousness
the figure raised aloft its hand and cried
in tragic tones: ‘Avenged! Avenged!’”
“Great heavens!” exclaimed the fright
ened Dumley, “and did it say nothing
more?”
“Yes; as it slowly faded into nothing
ness, again came the words: ‘Avenged 1
Avenged! The Spirit of the English
Language is avenged!’ "~Neu> Turk Sun.
Descending Wells.
M. Grchnut read a paper rcceutly be
fore the Paris Biological Society on “The
prevention of accidents by suffocation
while descending wells.” After referring
to tho cause of the suffocation, namely,
carbonic acid gas and the well known
expedient of first lowering an animal into
the well, he gave the following directions
for ventilation; A stovepipe ten
twelve feet longer than the. well is deep
is to be secured by wires in the axis of
the well; a grate on which a tire can be
built is then to be placed around this
pipe nt th* level of the ground, and a
second pipe, larger than the first, is then
to be placed upon the grate, with the
first pipe inside, nnd on the grate anil he
tween the pipes a fire is to be built, Thi
inner pipe being heated, a current is ere
ated, resulting in the ascent of the im
pure air of the well and ils replacement
by fresh uir from without.

MARVELOUS
The world is tho great tempter; but at
the same time it is the great monitor. It
stimulates our pride by its pomp and
show, its fleeting honors aud prizes; it
goads men to the race, and inspires them
with covetousness and rapacity, but, on
the other hand, it is the great memento
and evidence of its own vanity, and of
the emptiness of everything it offers to us.
It is the great snddener, the great wnrner,
the great prophet.
