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 won’t bo long boforo we can ory quits. 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.

Wallis Wngor caught ot the man’s words with avidity. “Do yon know whero she is, Brono?

"Well, you didn’t hesitate to shoot mo liko a dog’when you imagined I stood in your path, Durdon Drono.

"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.

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.

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.” “If we enunot convict you of the crime From Foster Wontlcl, who made tho dis covery on thnt fatal night, tho 29th of August, nnd oommunientod his disoovery to mo.

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 dust or mould, to secure them from in jury by winter winds nnd frosts by which they are liable to suffer.

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.

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.

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.
