| cd to stare down upon the bewildered
child with human eyes of reproach and
curiosity.
"See, Nancy! he is really pretty"
said Miss Betsey, smoothing down the
tangled curly hair as she led him up
to the fire. ..And only SEQ what blue
eyes he has Poor little soul! And so
young to-a mere baby! What is your
name, childp"
"Charlie!'
Charlie what?"
But the child shook his head
vaguely.
"Only Charley-and mamma S name
was Phoebe"
| AT that instant, in his restless mo-
tions around, the little fellow caught
sight OF portrait hanging in a recess,
hitherto obscured from his gaze. He
uttered cry:
"Mamma!-that is Charities own
mamm!"
Gracious goodness!' exclaimed
Miss Nancy, trembling IN every joint;
''what does the child mean? That is
our PhGbe!"
ut is mamma! Mamma name was
Phoebe, and she had black hair just
like that and big black eyes,
And the child, who had treasured up
that one flower of memory in his mind
Tor Two long years. began to sob and
cry pitifully:
81 want my mamma! They have
taken her away from me! Where is
my mammal"
Miss Betsy rose up, pale and SOL
emn.
Nancy, it's voicetreih tho grave!
It's Phoebe come back Solls, 70 put
her little child's hand in ours! We
have searched for her in vain these
five years, now her orphan child has
como straight to us! Don't you see
Gods hand in it, Nancyp We dis
owned her, and sent her away, be-
cause she would marry the man she
loved-we never relented when we
heard she was left widow, but we
mourned and sought for her long when
it was too late!''
Her voice was stiticd by tears, but
little Charlie was held close-close to
her heart. The outcast babe-the lit
tie neglected pariah, had been led by
the guiding hand of Providence
straight to the homo and tho hearts
that were waiting for him.
If poor Phoebe Wells could but have
seen that day. amid the mists that
surrounded her dying sight!
The policemen summoned only by
old Margery, arrived, and were put
on the watch. Aud when the base
ment door was stealthily unbolted
Mr.. Dooley and Mrs. Dennis walked
straight into the arms of two burly
detectives, who we're in no haste to
unloosen their atlectionate embrace.
"It's that little chate o. the world
who has betrayed us, but I'll tear his
heart out!" shrieked Mrs. Dennis,
vainly struggling with her captors.
But Charlie, holding tightly on to
Miss Nancy's protecting hand, boldly
detied her threats, and Mike Dooley's
deeper and more silent rage.
Charlie was too young tu know it,
but he had escaped fate worse than
death. The two old maid aunts took
him into the vacant spot in their
hearts, and Charlie learned for the
first time in his little hunted life what
it was to have a home.
.'Some people talk of fate," Miss
Betscy would say retlectively, "but ]
call it Providence. If you don't be-
lieve what l say, just let me tell you
the story OF our little Charlie!'

Jersey City and Patterson, day or
two ago, q poorly dressed woman,
carrying a baby in her arms, walked
through two coaches and was unable
to find seat. The railroad Hog was
there. In dozen cases he had q whole
scat 10 himself, and he meant to keep
it. The woman finally found refuge
in the smoking car, and by and by the
Hog went forward to enjoy Havana,
and found her crying.

"Not dollar, sir.
"Umph! Sorry for you. Let me hand
you this.
The Hog has been robbed of his
bristles Woman's tears have melted
his s.llishness. He returned tn his car,
gathered the other Hogs aboat him,
and said:
.'Come down. Poor widow-sick
baby-no home. Come down!"
The Hogs went down for their wal
let's. and in ten minutes the sum
of $40 was put into the woman s
hand and the Boss Hog observed:
'There-there-it's all right-not q

Aud as she followed him into the
coach dozen Hogs rose up and in

AUBADE TRISTE.

The last pale rank of poplar trees
Begins to glimmer into light,
With stems aud branches family white
Against heaven one dimly sees
Beyond the failing night.
A point Of gray that grows to green
Flcck'd DER with rainy yellow bars,-
A sudden wliteness of the stars,
A pallor where the moon has been,
A peace the morning mars;
When, 10! s!lver Of the breeze
And all the rutlcd birds awake,
The ruslirg a,pens stir and shake,
And, pale, bel ond The pallid trees,
The dawn beg MS to break.
And all the air grows cool and wan,
A drizziing rain begins to fall,
The sky clouds over wi h pail
The night, that was for me, is gone,
And day has come for all.

INDIAN RUMcRs.
The Outbreak of the Crows no Longer
Feared.


A few days ago a statement was pub
lished concerning the apprehenled out
break Of Indians on the north, near Sheri-
dan, the word coming down from Mr.. NJ.
l. Sawin. The governor did not look for
any trouble and did not think it Necessary
to take any action in the matter.
Mr.. f. II. Becker, editor and proprie
tor of the Big Horn Sentinel, sends word
that the Indians apparently were never
more contented than they are now, with
the exception Of little misunderstanding
the Crows have had with their agent.
Armstrong, who. it is understood, will be
removed in order to make room for a new
man to preside at the Crow agency, on
the Little Horn.
The trouble with the Crows and their
agent grows out ola personal grudge they
have against him on account of the con-
spicuous part he took favorable to a lease
OF a large portion of their reserve to a
Colorado syndicate, which lease. through
the indefatigable energies of the leading
citizens of Northern Wyoming and East
ern Montana, was destined to be n Of
the things of the past. The report made
by Ms. Sawin gains no credence at Big
Horn and in Justice to that country we
contradict the statement made in refer
ence to an Indian war in that section.

WIFE.
The Troubles Of a Man From Tie
SldInr.

A man whose identity is somewhat OBJ
scured under a number of pames assumed
for a purpose, arrived last evening from
the Grampian hills and classic dales Of
Tie Siding in search of his young, pretty
and adventurous wife.
The man referred to is fat and forty,
and his wife is pretty and 10. Recently
a handsomer man came, in a meteoric way,
across the monotony Of her dreary life at
the Siding. The readers of Pope will
understand the situation, and full particu-
lars are not necessary. About a week
ago the young wife suddenly left her
primitive cottage beside the Union Pacific
and came to this city. The plot had been
well prepared and the husband CROPPED in
darkness. He suspected a certain young
man. but the young man still tarried and
SO the ancient and Involuntary grass
widower was inclined to believe his sus-
picions were unjust.
Yesterday the husband came to this city.
Desiring to conceal his identity he as
sumed first the name of Eldridge, then
the name Of Staulf. and finally a third
name, which was not learned. He wa
looking for his runaway wife, who For a
week had been snugly concealed in Il safe
retreat in the city.
A few hours after the husband came,
who we will call Staulf for short, a young
man named ]. L. Morgan appeared. Had
Staulf seen Morgan he would have recog-
nized the local Romeo of Tie Siding, but
Morgan had special and personal reasons
for keeping out of sight. Last evening
Staulf was hunting for his wife, and hav-
ing been gwen some hint, was also anxious
to see Morgan; but neither couldb be found.
When seen late at night, Staulf was
well under the influence of several beers
and sundry WHISTLES, and was not in a
condition to be either brief or lucid in his
remarks. The strangest part of the affair
is that last night Staulf and Morgan occu-
pied adjacent rooms at the same hotel,
neither knowing the other was near. The
young wife is still in secluslon, and if
Morgan can dodge the officers and the
husband. he may be able to extract CON
siderable zest from this hum-drum life for
several days yet.

where they gave themselves away"
They wore new boots, heavy. broad soled,
broad heeled affairs, made for hunting
purposes, or designed to see life in the
humble sphere of the corn field. Their
blankets were strapped in rolls, and at
tached to the straps were bright new spurs
of the most approved eastern pattern. In
deed, the entire outfit, boys and all, was
very new" The two tenderfeet prom
enaded the depot platform and seemed to
expect some cattleman would rush upon
the scene, greet them with dime novel

the spot. The community may become
excited to learn that they are here, but

bility. In about two days these boys will

An Inofensive OLD Man FoulIy MUIR
dered for HIS Team.

Mr.. Geo. l.. Holt has received a letter
from Horatio Holt, who is now in John
son county, in which a brief reference is
made to a crime that recently occurred
near Buffalo.
Living near Dry Greek gulch, and about
three or four miles from the town of Buff
falo, was an ino:sensiyc old German, who
had a small ranch and who lived a solitary
life in his humble cabin. A few days ago
chance visitors at the ranch found the dead
and CHASTITY body Of the old German lying
upon the floor of the cabin, while evil
dences of murder were apparent. Near
the body was found a blood-stained shovel.
The old mans boots were covered with
crimson stains, blood was splashed on the
walls of the cabin, pools of blood had al
most dried on the floor, and the few house
hold articles were tossed about in utter
disorder.
The old mans team and wagon were
missing, all of the provisions had been
taken away and the premises had been
looted Of everything of value. 1t is sus-
pected that a partner of the old mans
committed the murder and fed with the
horses and supplies. The letter did not
give full particulars, but it is inferred that
the crime was not discovered for several
days after the murderer fed and that

This Region No Longer Affords the
Hunter Fine Sport.


The season of the year is at hand when
the sportsmen of the city and vicinity are
again on the qa rire for choice hunting
grounds where ducks most do congregate.
A few years ago really good sport could
be obtained at the lakes Just north of the
city, but the thing was ofcourse oyerdone,
hunters became as thick as the ducks.
and now the shooting in that vicinity is
altogether unsatisfactory. The Hazard
station attracted attention, and it was
learned that good shooting was obtained
along Lone Tree creek. For two years
the shooters obtained nice bags of NAL
lards, Teal and Canvasbacks at these last
two places, but now the ducks are scarce
and wild.
Pole creek is some distance from the
city and was not generally visited, but Of
late the ducks are wild and fly high in
that region, a condition of affairs that
also exists around Pine Bluffs, on the
Muddy. Good shooting is still obtained
oil the South Crow, about %twenty-eight
miles from the city. The stream is
bordered with rushes and tall grass and
as the ducks fly up and down the creek,
two parties Of hunters can keep them
moving and obtain excellent sport. Three
days are required to make the trip, how
ever, and but few hunters heat their guns
in hat region.
Indeed ducks and geese are no longer
abundant in this immediate vicinity and
our hunters are now compelled to go to
Nebraska or Colorado for any really good
shooting.
Snipe, plover and curlew are also be-
coming scarce, and even jack rabbits are
no longer abundant This region is be-
coming rather barren of game and ere
long the sportsmen will be obliged to
make long trips into the interior of the
territory, or to adjacent states and terri
tories. in order to enjoy a good days sport
with gun and dog.
