among them, and springing from the

the crowd gathering swiftly round him.
Many at once rushed of to tho cliff,
Snaresbrooks words bringing back to
them prominently Redfern Cburchill's
fate; the rest fingered, ovcrpowered by
a still deeper curiosity. They all in
stinctively felt that this was only the be.
ginning of the tragedy.
"Don't tell me he's dead-for heavens
sake don't tell me I'm too late!' he cried,
that note of agony still in his voice and
large drops Of moisture gathering ON his
brow as he gazed from one stern faco to
another. "Its too horrible! 1 came To

The royal family of England, exclusive Of

payers nearly s25, 600 in hard cash during
the last twenty years. This does not include
the cost OF palaces and other similar expendi-

the money has been paid to members Of the
royal family in order to enable them TO form
congenial matrimonial alliances and live
comfortably in idleness. Tho king Of the

AS she moved swiftly away from the
cabin, Mr.. Snaresbrook sat down again.
He was trembling from head to foot, and
now it was not only from the weakness
of over drinking.
"She's quite right" he muttered TO
himself, "but it's hard. know she has
thought it all along, but she has never
said it before-not even when I've been
the greatest brute. She has grown tired
of me at last! Nor is it any wonder. Oh,
my darling what days OF happiness l
have deprived you of! All eternity will
not he long enough to atone"
He broke out into sobs-weak, child
ish, for even the dignity Of manhood's
grief had gone from him.
As he sat there, miserahly crying TO
himself, the trial in the spare parlor Of
the "Red Unicorn" came to an end, and.
Redfern Churchill was found guilty.
but it is horrible-this!' cried New
enham as he stood facing the condemned
man in the corner of the room, TO which
they had been permitted to retire for
short interview at the end Of the trial.
The jury and one or two witnesses
stood talking in undertones ut the other
end of the room.
Newenham felt that he could not be-
lieve il; he had pleaded, he had even
threatened, until he saw that his inter-
ference only made matters worse for the
prisoner. Besides, even he could not but

mad no logical rcason to give for her con-
viction.
III you go for to harm hair Of that
young mans head. may you all swing
for set of blundering idiotsr' she cried,
barring the entrance to tho inclosure
with her ample figure.
The foremost committeeman made q
.dignified though hurried reply. None
OF them wished to discuss the matter
with Mrs. Quaker Joe; and her husband,
emboldened by the majesty Of the law,
as represented in the persons Of the COM
mitteemen, caught her arm and pulled
her aside.
/ This sudden exhibition of marital
authority had such an astounding effect
upon Mrs. Kezah that she actually re-
treated few PAGES. The committee
men took advantage Of her momcntary
discontinue to pass, with as much dig
nifty as decidedly fastened movements
would permit, into the inclosure.
Redfern Churchill caught sight of poor
Mrs. kezah's face. It's utter consterna-
tion struck his sense Of tho ludicrous and
he laughed outright, nodding at her with
the bright winning grace which still oc-
casionally made its way through the Sc
ycre repression of his manner, and which,
when 1t did, had as great an effect on
the lady population Of Deadman's Flat
as it used once to have on the women in
tho drawing rooms of New York and
Brooklyn.
The crowd outside prepared to await
the verdict with patience. Mr.. Snares-
brook wandered about rather aimlessly
for little while. He inquired for his
daughter; but she had disappeared and
was not to be found. After time he
proceeded thoughtfully to the tumble
down cabin at the end of the corral which
Quaker Joe had kindly handed over for
his occupation.
1t was there, half an hour later, that
his daughter found him.

CHAPTER TX.

Mr.. Snaresbrook was sitting, white,
faint and trembling, as if smitten with
ague, on the inverted barrel which serv-
ed him as chair.
He had touched no stimulants that
morning, and the loss of their intoxica-
ting strength left him as palsied as an
old man in his dotage--a pitiful wreck!
The girls eyes, cleaning with n hard ex-
preston Of fierce despair, suddenly soft
ened as she burst into tears.
He looked at her, fathers love Civ
ing back to the bleared dull eyes some of
their old manliness and beauty. Then
he gently stroked her hair with the trem-
bling hand which had SO long lost its
cunning. She sobbed on convulsively,
that tender touch, half fearful, as il he
felt his own unworthiness, grieving her
more than all else.
"What is itT" he asked at last.
"Oh, father" she cried between her
sobs, "can't we save him? Is there no
way? Can't we do anythingP
A strange look came into her fathers
eyes as that sobbing cry--the wall of
woman's broken heart-burst from her
lips. The look was almost pitiful in its
amazement and horror-that cry was
such terrible revelation to him.
He raised her face that he might look
down into her tear dimmed eyes, which
betrayed the sacred secret of the girls
stricken heart. They did not finch be.
fore his gaze, neither did the white
cheeks flush. 1t was too supreme mo-
ment for any display of maidenly shy
ness.
"Oh, father! sho cried again, hiding
her face against his shoulder.
There was moments silence, and
then she sprang to her feet.
''Oh, something must be done! Per-
haps they have condemned him! Oh,
come-come. He must be saved, whether
he is guilty or not!"
"Why do you think he is guilty." he
asked, rising slowly.
1t was dreadful for her to hear her
thought put into words. She started,
gasping for breath, and for moment
her father thought she was going to
faint. But the knowledge of Redfern
Churchill's awful peril steadied her wav-
ering senses.

must speak for him.
"Iiow can do anything i'm this con.
ditiony" he excidmed IN a sudden out
burst of querulousness, II must have
something to keep myself up; might as
well be dead already for any good l
am"
She turned away desperately, hope
lessly. What help could such father
be to her in this her hour Of agony
surely the most terrible that woman
who loved could pass through?
The father noticed his daughters
heavy sigh, and it seemed to disturb
him.
"Why are you so afraidT' he asked
fretfully. 81 will help you both-I pro-
mise YOU"
"Oh, father" she cried, in a tone of
impatient bitter contempt, show can you
help me or any one:"
1t was the first time she had ever used
such tone towards him. She turned
away, a sudden wild resolve seizing her.
She would go before those stern faced
judges herself and plead the prisoners
cause.

slowly, In voice that was strangely

He did not answer. She looked up into
his face for few moments, but his eyes
did not meet hers Presently her hand
fell from his arm, and she moved away,
then stood still. her face turned towards
tho window.
"You thought that did It," she said
slowly, in faint tone.

dazed by the joy of the revelation that
had come from her lips Remorse for
his shameful doubts had as yet no place
In his heart. He could feel only the wild
delight of knowing that she was inno-
cent "Elaine!" he repeated.
But she was stunned by the new shock,
and felt powerless to move or speak.
There was soft knocking at the door,
and Churchill understood the signal He
looked at her, and saw how the blood
was fading from her face and lips. She
had believed in his guilt To have found
him innocent would have filed her heart
with Joy; but to find him innocent, but
believing in her guilt, was the last stroke
she could bear. As his arms closed round
her, she sank scnseless upon his breast.
He kissed her-once-twice--wi lips
as gray as her own, then laid her gently
down and hurried to the door.

having come to call him. The commit
teemen felt that it was time TO rcinstate
justice in its rightful position, yet from
certain delicacy they sent tho message
which was TO end that interview by his
friend. They felt IL would be easier for
him and her to bear.

tered, and tremor shook him. II was
the first sign he had shown of shrinking
from the fato that awaited him. He
would meet it bravely enough, but ht
could not bear that Newcnham should bt
witness of his ignominious end.
Newenham understood. Neither of thu
men cared to speak another word; there
was clinging hand shake, and then Red
fern Churchill stepped out to join tn,
men who awaited him.

chose, they might hasten on 20 the
mound, and there await the fulfillment
OF the sentence.
As the party turned of from the road
and began TO ascend the mound, they
caught sight OF various members OF the
population of Deadman's Flat also max
ing their ascent. When the procession
emerged from among the trees there was
assembled on the bare eminence goodly
concourse OF spectators. They were con-
tcmpating tne tree, which stood out
hned clearly against the brilliant blue
sky, at the summit OF the mound. Many
were discussing WIN Ihuch gravity vari-
Gus matters winch 70 less interested spec
tators might havo seemed ghastly and re-
volting.
Churchill glanced from the trec to the
grave, earnest crowd: then he set his
teeth more closely, for there were but q
few PAGES between him and death. With
swift look round his eyes took In tho
ridge some yards beyond the tree, be-
hind which the mound dropped sharply
down into the abyss.
The sun shone, and the air was full Of
the sweet breath of the pines There was
twitter of birds In bush and trees. the
flash Of their wings through the hot,
fragrant air. Far off in tho distance
was the purple outline Of the everlasting
bills, above was the dazzling blue Of u
cloudlcss sky, and before him that ghastly
tree, where his life, with its grand possi-
bilities and its newly found love, was
suddenly to end.
For moment his heart and brain
seemed TO burn in fierce, mad revolt
against his unmeritcd doom; then sud
denly passion, tumult, rebellion died
away, and perfect calmness remained.
He reached the summit yard or two
in front of his guards The crowd fall
ing back little as he approached, for
there was not sufficient space on the
highest point for all to stand there, it
happened that for moment he stood
raised above spectators and cxecutioners,
his graceful athletic figure as clearly
outlined against that distant blue sky as
tho trce itself.

tinctly, raising his hand 10 insure a
hcaring-"l did not commit that muir

There was dead silence. Then ono
OF tho jury, in tone of contempt, asked
why he took tho trouble to mako such q

E. o. Wolcott, the newly elected
United States Senator from Colorado,
was born in Lopgmt adow, Massachu-
setts, on March 26th IS48. His father
was Rev. Samuel Wolcott, prominent
clergyman of the Congregational church,
who was successfully pastor OF churches
in Lougmeadow aud Belchertown.
Mass. aud Providence, Chicago and
CT veland. Hon. +. o. Wolcott, re-
sembles his father strongly in mental
qualities, manner of speaking and
voi,e but i'll locks the resemblance is
slight. He obtained his education and
prepared for @ lleQe in the Cleveland
schools and ut an academy at Norwich,
Conn, where his mothers family reside.
He entered Yale. with tho class Of. 20,
aud during his college course formed
many friendships among his classmates
and teachers. After leaving Yale he
studied in the Harvard LAW School and
in the Office of Russell Bros. of Boston.
In 1871 he came to Colorado where his
brother Henry had preceded. him. He
settled in Georgetown anil while wait
ing for clients and for sufficient resi-
denoe to be admitted to the Territorial
bar he taught school for few months
in Central City. In 1876, Mr.. Wolcott
was chosen District Attorney for the
First District aud distinguish ed himself
by his vigorous prosecutions. Towards
the close Of his term rs Prosecuting
Attorney he was elected State Senator
from Clenr Greek county and was u
prominent member OF the Colorado
Senate in the sessions OF 1878 and 80,
About 1880 Mr.. Woloott removed to-
Denver. Perhaps one thing in Mr..
Wolcott's life, OF which he may be
proud was his enlisting when he was
sixteen years old. in an Ohio company,
organized in Cleveland. 1t served f..r
a short while before Washington. This
service, though bloodless was almost
fatal to Woloott from the foyer he COLI
tracted.

A Roon I'M and a Panic.

Samuel Benner, tho well-known
prophet, prints In the Real Estate Rec
ord his forecasts for 1859. 1890 and
1891. Among other things no snys:
"rho year 1889 opens with Oh, erful
hopes. Our crops during the past yenr
have been abundant. The prospects of
an increated foreign demand for our
surplus grain and provisions at nd
~Anced prices gives the farmer re-
nswsd energy. With fair curly crops
business and prices will show consider
able improvement In the Spring months.
We are at the beginning Of a prosper
ous period, and tho outlook is for de-
cided Improvement aud advance in tho
price OF iron, railroad stocks and all
other manufactured commodities. I
predict that the price Of iron will be- ad.
vanced and that tho average price OF
80 will DO higher than the average for
,tSs, and that there will be wonderful
advance in the price OF iron stocks and
all iron products and commodities Ia
in 1890. All business will be prosper
