the magnificent carriage in waiting
The carriage stopped before a rich house
in ono of the fashionable uptown
streets, and the doors flew open as Jack
approached them.
He was led to large bedroom. He
walked to tho side of tho bed, around
which two physicians and one or two
servants were congrcgated. Everybody
made way or him. A shrunken hand
was extended to him, and he grasped
it.

against this hour"
Jack sank down by the side of the
bed thoroughly unnerved. He was
strong man, but in this hour, when the
past was to be atoned for and death
lowered about the grandfather who had
wronged him, but whom he had never
seen before he was weak as child.
"Forgive-" and the spirit of James
Dayton left the frail and wasted body,
where it had lodged for seventy years,
before he could finish the sentence.
Three months after the mortal re-
mains of James Dayton had been con-
signed to the earth from which they
came Jack Dayton presented himself at
the Fifth avenue residence of Gussie
Vanborn.
After short time, which seemed an
age to him, the young woman entered
the parlor. He arose to his feet and adj.
vanced to meet her.
''Miss Vandorn, will you pardon the
liberty take in calling upon you9"
"Mr. Dayton, you have been free to
call upon me, by invitation, for the past
two years"

Il have not forgot n.
Jack gazed into her eyes a moment
with all the carnestness of the days
since they had parted. Her eyes had
dropped beneath his, and her face was
suffused with bushes She had not for
gotten. He said with simple eloquence:
Al have not forgotten. l never could
forget. Your face has been with me;

parted two years ago. l have come
here tonight to tell you that life is no
longer endurable if you don't share it
with me. have waited two years to

"You need not have waited two years,
Mr.. Dayton" she said with a roguish
smile.
And Jacks fortune was not in the
money his grandfather left him, but in

four natives awaiting trial for MUIR

being cut off and their bodies left
where they had fallen, exposed and
Unguarded until the evening of the
day Of execution. The sultan also
ordered twenty-four prisoners, in
cluding one woman, who had been
sentenced for life, to be put to death
in similar manner during the next
week, a few to be executed each day.

SENATOR STANFORD created great
deal of surprise in the Republican
senate caucus last Wednesday, when
he took occasion to notify the caucus
that he could not vote for the tariff
bill in its present condition. The
meager Republican majority in the
senate makes it impossible to pass the
the tariff bill in case Stanford votes
against it. Explaining his action, he
says: "The bill is not satisfactory to
me because in my judgment, if it be-
came law, it would iniure several
industries in California Of great prom
ise. In the first place, the bill cuts
down the present duty on sugar one
half. 1 consider there is no longer
any doubt about the successful manu-
facture of sugar in California from
beets. 1t seems to me that in a few
years the raising Of sugar will be one
of the most important occupations in
California. The bill also reduces the
tariff on oranges. lemons and lines.
This, however, can easily be reme-
died"

AFTER THE INDIANS.
Troops Sent Out From Victoria to Quell the
Uprising at Skena Forks.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 25.-News of an
alarming character has been received here
regarding the safety of the expeditionary
force which has been sent from Victoria to
quell the Indian uprising at Skena Forks,
British Columbia. 1t appears that when
too late, after the troops had embarked on
on board the man of war. Caroline, and
started for Fit. Esselington, the govern
ment discovered that owing to the state of
the water in Skena river the transport of
troops by this route in canoes would be
attended with great danger, not alone
on account OF the tremendous current, but
mainly because nearly the whole Indian
learning that the troops were
coming, have entrenched themselves in
high bluffs which overhang the narrow
river on each side, from which impregna-
bic position they will be able 10 shoot down
the advancing troops without the loss of a
man. Scouts who have escaped from
Hazeltop report the banks of the river
alive with hostile Indians armed with
Winchester repeating rifles, waiting in
ambush the arrival of c battery, which it
is fesred here will result disastroasiv to
the troops unless some other route is
taken. Scouts report that there are passes
along the river banks where n dozen
Indians could anrihi,a.e the whole force
as YET numbering only fifteen men without
exposing themselves.

trains from the east for California via the
Atlantic & Pacific road are side tracked
here and rumors of terrible wreck caused
by washouts are circulated, but railroad
officials are reticent. Early yesterday
morning the west bound passenger met
with IN accident near a small station west
of Flagstaff, the mail, baggage and ex-
press cars leaving the track and going
down an embankment. Singularly the
engine and tender remained on the
track, though both of the tracks
under the engine tank were pulled
out. The train was running on
schedule time and what caused the acct
dent is a mystery. 1t is stated here that
the baggageman is seriously hurt. but it is
hard to get authentic communication as a
storm is raging along the Rio Grande and
Rio Pucro.
Last night the incoming passenger train
ran into washout at bridge 81, two miles
east of Lagupa, q large quantity Of water
caused by a violent waterspout in the
vicinity having turned the stringers of the
bridge from the caps. and when the engine
ran upon the bridge it was swept down
stream, breaking the coupling between the
engine tank and mail car The engine
landed on its side 200 feet below where the
bridge stood. Three hundred feet of track
on both sides of the bridge Were swept

a miraculous escape, while at the throttle
