DEPARTURE OF OEIRICHS.
Last Tuesday afternoon the cowboy
resigned the position of dummy, made
unpleasant by the Atlas little personal,
and returned to his beeYes and prairies.
For days journey he was accompanied
by Messrs. Davis, Oelrichs, Watson,
ETC., whose mission was evidently to
keep him from Suiciding on ac-
| count of his chagrin mt being brought
into prominence. In duo season
the mysterious parsonage returned.
| Was he Gebhart? That was for the re-
| porter to find out. The Lily's palace-car
stood on the sidetrack ana the reporter
reconnoitred it. The cool wind toyod

ldence that sent it was kind. One of the
screens was lifted gently and the out
side world saw n section of pleasant
little state-room with tapestries and pie
lures. A foot to the westward of the
open square was half the profile of u
handsome masculine face. 1t was

The more the observer gaZcd the NOR,
he became convinced that the owner q

was Mr.. Gebhardt, and after waiting IN

ask him if he thought it was the propc
taper to lay an English lady's fair fam
liable to stigma by making himself s.
thoroughly at home in her private ga
while her husband was thousands O
miles away. Raising his cane he gentl
tapped on the window sill and sortl'
called, "Mr. Gebhardt?"
