here, some of you" And most of the
men ran to the spot.
For moment not one word was spoken
in the watching group; then Miss TRAY
ers' voice was heard:
"What can it be? Why do they stop
thereT
She felt a sudden hand upon her wrist,
and her sisters lips at her ear:
Come away, Nellie. l want to go
home. Gomez
But, Kate, must see what it means.
''No; come! LISTS only some other
drunken man probably. Gomez And
she strove to lead her.
But the other ladies were curious too,
and all, insensible, were edging over TO
the east as though eager TO get in sight
of the group. The recumbent object
had been raised, and was seen to be the
dark figure of man whom the others
began slowly to lead away. One of the
group came running back to them; it
was Mr.. Foster.
>"Come, ladies'; will escort you home,
as the others are busy"
"What is the matter, Mr. FOSTER

fear. He was trying to get home after
having saved poor Clancy.
You don't say SO! Oh, isn't there
something we can do? Can't we go that
way and be of some help?' was the eager
petition of more than one Of the ladies.

fering his arm to Mrs. Rayner, who was
foremost in the direction he wanted to
go-the pathway across the parade-Mr.
Foster led them on. OF course, there
was eager talk and voluble sympathy,
but Mrs. Rayner spoke not word. The
others crowded around him with ques-
tons, and her silence passed unnoted ex-
cept by one.
The moment they were inside the door
and alone Miss Travers turned to her
sister: "Kate, what was this mans
crime?'

This time no answer whatever. 1t was
growing too painful. Ross looked in
bewilderment at the bandaged face and
and again broke the silence:
eve hope you won't deny us the right
to be of service, Mr.. Hayne. If there is
anything we can do that you need or
would like hesitatingly.
''You have nothing further to say?"
asked the calm voice from the pillow.
'I-don't know what else we can say"
faltered Ross, after an instant's pause.
The answer came, firm and prompt,
but Jelly cool:
''Then there is nothing that you can
do"
And the three took their departure,
sore at heart.
There were others of the infantry who
had purposed going to see Hayne that
evening, but the story of Ross's expert.
ence put an end to it all. 1t was plain
that even now Mr.. Hayne made the con-
diAion of the faintest advance from his
regimental comrades full confession of
error. He would have no less.
That evening the colonel sat by his bed
side and had an earnest talk. He ven
tured to expostulate with the invalid on
his refusal to go to the majors or to
STANDARDS. He could have so many
comforts and delicacies there that would
be impossible here. He did not refer to
edibles and drinkables alone, he said,
with smile; but Haynes patient face
gave no sign of relenting. He heard the
colonel through. and then said slowly
and firmly:
Il have not acted hastily, sir; 1 APP
precate their kindness, and am not I'M
grateful. Five years ago my whole life
was changed. From that time to this l
have done without host of thin S that
used to be indispensable, and have alb
jured them one and all for single lux
ury that cannot live without-the lux
ury of utter independence-the joy OF
knowing that l owe no man anything
the blessing of being beholden to no one
on earth for a single service cannot pay
for. 1t is tie one luxury left me"

! An unusual state of affairs existed at
the big hospital for several days. Mrs.
Clancy had refused to leave the bedside
of her beloved Mike, and was permitted
to remain. For woman who was noto-
rious as virago and bully, who had
beaten little Kate from her babyhood
and abused and hammered her Michael
until, between her and drink, he was but
the wreck of a stalwart manhood, Mrs.
Clancy had developed degree of devo-
ton that was utterly unexpected. In all
the dozen years of their marital relations
no such trait could be recalled; and vet
there had been many an occasion within
the past few years when Clancy's condi-
ton demanded gentle nursing and close
attention-and never would have got it
but for faithful little Kate. The child
idolized the broken down man, and loved
him with a tenderness that his weakness
seemed but to augment thousandfold,
while it but served to infuriate her moth
er. In former years, when he was Sergt.
Clancy and 4 fine soldier, many was the
time he had interviewed to save her from
an undeserved thrashing; many time
had he seized her in his strong arms and
confronted the furious woman with stern
reproof. Between him and the child
there had been the tenderest love, for
she was all that was left to him of four.
In the old days Mrs. Clancy had been
the belle of the soldiers balls, a fine
looking woman, with indomitable pow
ers as a dancer and conversationalist
and an envied reputation for outshining
all her rivals in dress and adornment.
"She would ruin Clancy, that she
would, was the unanimous opinion Of
the soldiers wives, but he seemed to min
lister to her extravaganza with unfailing
good nature for two or three years. He
had been prudent, careful of his money,
was a war soldier with big arrears of
bounty and, tradition had it, consum-
mate skill in poker. He was the money
ed man among the sergeants when the
dashing rehct of brother non-commis-
stoned officer set her widows cap for him
and won. 1t did not take many years
for her to wheedle most of his money
away Du1 buclc was no CSSotblOu W lne
demand, no apparent limit to the supply.
Both were growing older, and now it be-
came evident that Mrs. Clancy was the
elder of the two, and that the artificial
lty of her charms could not stand the
test of frontier life. No longer sought
as the belle of the soldiers ball rooms, she
aspired to leadership among their wives
and families, and was accorded that pre-
eminence rather than the fierce battle
which was sure to follow any revolt. She
became avaricious-some said miserly-
and Clancy miserable. Then began the
downward course. He took to drink soon
after his return from long, hard sum-
mer's campaign with the Indians. He
lost his sergeant's stripes and went into
the ranks.
There came a time when the new col
onel forbade his re- enlistment in the
cavalry regiment in which he had served
so many long year. He had been a
brave and devoted soldier. He had a
good friend in the infantry, he said, who
wouldn't go back on poor fellow who
took drop too much at times, and, to
the surprise of many soldiers-oficers
and men-he was brought to the recruit

1t was clear winters evening, sharply
cold, about week after the fire, when,
as Mrs. Rayner came down the stairway,
equipped for a walk, and was passing
the parlor door without stopping, Miss
Travers caught sight of and called to
her:
care you going walking, Kate? Do
wait 4 moment, and I'll go with you"
Any one in the hall could have haired
the authors privilege and seen the ex-
preston of annoyance and confusion that
appeared on Mrs. Rayners face.
Il thought you were out. Did not Mr.
Graham take you wal1ing?"
''He did; but we wandered into Mrs
Waldron's, and she and the major begged
US to stay, and we had some music, and
then the first call sounded for retreat and
Mr.. Graham had to go, so he brought me
home. I've had no walk and need exer-
cise"
'But l don't like you to be out after
sunset. That cough of yours
disappeared the day after 1 got here,
Kate, and there hasn't been vestige of
it since. This high, dry climate put an
end to it. No. I'll be ready in one min
ute more. Do wait
Mrs. Rayners hand was turning the
knob while her sister was hurrying to the
front door and drawing on her heavy
jacket as she did SO. The former faced
her impatiently:
II don't think YOU are at all courteous
to your visitors. You know just rs well
as do that Mr.. Foster or Mr.. Royce or
some other of those young officers are
sure to be in just at this hour. You really
are very thoughtless, Nellie"
Miss Travers stopped short in her prep
arations.
"Kate Rayner," she began, impressive
ly, sit was only night before last that
you rebuked me for sitting here with
Mr.. Blake at this very hour, and asked
me how l supposed Mr.. Van Antwerp

"Fudge! I cannot stay and listen to

Rayner, reddening.

"Who says I'm worried?' asked Mrs.
Rayner, with sudden vehemence.

Election Expenses.

In the suit against the State Of
Nevada by the Carson Tribune and
Appeal to compel the payment Of the
bills incurred ID advertising the
special election in 1889, the news
papers won and the bi ls were paid in
full. The INDEPENDENT has always
claimed that these bills would all
have to be paid, provided the several
counties demanded payment. Elko
county will be reimbursed for the
amount paid from the county treas
ury in excess of the amount allowed
by the Board Of Examiners, provided
the Commissioners demand it. If
this demand has not been made by
the Board of Commissioners they
should lose no time in taking steps
TO collect the amount. We are not
personally interested in this matter,
III the claim of the INDEPENDENT was
paid in full from tho county treasury,
but the county should not be out on
the proposition.

County Official Paper
THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY
BILL.

The lower House Of the Louisiana
Legislature has passed the Lottery
Bill, and the Examiner Of the 9th
instant prints editorially some COM
ments on the fact, in which occurs
the following:
"Arizona is simply languishing for
q chance at the Louisiana sack, and
Nevada would feel happier if she
were honored with its attentions than
~sne has felt since the halcyon days
when the spontaneous generosity Of
Fair and Sharon made life one long
sunny dream for the boys"
The person who penned the above
slanderous attack on Nevada is either
a malicious falsifier or an ignorant
Mss, and in either case he deserves to
be kicked out of the editorial sane
tum Of the Examiner. We cannot
for moment believe that anyone
who occupies the important position
OF an editor on the so-called "Mon-
arch" is ignorant of the fact that the
people voted on the proposition to
establish e lottery in this State, and
that ON the 18th day of February,
1899, the scheme was showed under
20 deep by popular vote of the peo-
pie Of Nevada that it is beyond resur-
rection. Hence we believe that the
statement above quoted is a wilful,
malicious and premeditated falsehood,
printed for the sole purpose of cast
ing an odium on the State of Nevada
which is as malicious as it is false.
Nevada has for many years suffered
under the scathing appellation of the
"Rotton Borough" but on the 18th
day of February, 1889, she redeemed
herself by the vote cast on the Lottery
Amendment, in spite of which this
penny-a-llner on the Examiner at
tempts to make it's reacers believe
that the Sagebrush State still pants
for the "flesh pots Of Egypt" in the
shape Of the coin of the Louisiana
Lottery Company.
If there ia man Of truth and
veraoity on the editorial staff of the
Examiner, it would be but an act of
Justice to the people Of this State to
publish the facI that Nevada is not
bidding for tho Louisiana nor any
other lottery, as indicated by the vote
of February, 1889. But we do not
expect it; for it would then be neces-
sary to acknowledge either ignorance
OF the facts or willful misrepresenta-
ton, and the Monarch" is not likely
to do either.

"a Dress Alhnm.

A dress album is made by having book
of good thick paper (such as is made for
mounting photography, and in it FASTING a
scrap, about two inches square, of each
new dress which the owner purchases.
Under each sample is written the date
when the dress was first worn, and the
cost may also be added in cipher, for pri-
vate reference. Imagine for a moment
that your mother had always kept such a
record; could anything be more fascinat-
lsg than to turn over its pages and look
with pleased interest at the bit of
pink bingham which she wore to her

As rule, an omelet Is a wholesome and
inexpensive dish, yet one in the prepara-
ton of which cooks frequently fail, owing
to carelessness OF detail. With little at
tention the housewife can easily become a
perfect cook in this branch as well as
others. The favorings and the ingredients
OF omelets may be varied indefinite ~, but
the principle is always the same. In max
Ing an ome!et care should be taken that the
pan is hot and dry. To insure this put
small quantity Of lard into the pan, let it
simmer few minutes and remove it: wipe
the pan dry with cloth and put in a little
fresh lard, in which the omelet may be
fried; care should be taken that the lard
does not burn, which would spoil the color
of the omelet.
1t is better to make two or three small
omelets than one very large one, as the
latter cannot be well handled by the no.
vice. The omeiet made of three eggs is
the one recommended for beginners.
Break the eggs separately. Put them into
bowl and whisk them thoroughly with a
fork. The longer they are beaten the
lighter viii the omelet be. Beat up a
teaspoonful of milk with the eggs
and continue to beat until the
last moment before putting into the pan,
which should be over hot fire. AS soon
as the omelet sets remove the pan from the
hottest part of the fire. Slip knife
under it to prevent sticking to the pan
When the centre is almost firm, slant The
pan, work the omelet in shape to fold
easily and neatly, and when slightly
Drowned hold platter against the edge Of
the pan and deftly turn it out onto the
hot dish. Salt mixed with the eggs pre-
vents them from rising, and when tits so used
the omelet looks fabby, yet without salt it
will taste insipid. Add little salt to it
just before folding it and turning it out of
the dish.

little tricks or devices which will prevent
or defer the sswear and tear'' which come
to us by degrees. We find that boys' shirt
waists always wear first at the belt, where
the trousers fasten. For the next set we
make strong belt of double leans which
we place under the percale, or linen; when
the buttons are sewed firmly on and the
threads fastened, it is hard for the boys to
get through with them. The hens down
the backs of white dresses or yokes should
be folded down twice, or interlined. soas to
make strong place for buttons and button
holes. The bindings of drawers or under
bodies often pull out, leaving button-hole
torn open, which is not easy to mend neatly.
When the binding is first stitched on, be-
fore hemming down, bit of cloth can be
lnterJaid; 1t must be tackled slightly to the
side OF the binding to prevent it from rump-
ling IN the wash, and so there are three
piles Of material for each button and button
hole. This is less clumsy than making the
whole belt three thicknesses
Ready made clothing, whether upper or
undecgarments, should have all the buttons
sewed on more securely before they are
worn. Those on Undertaking are usually
held by stitch OF PROMISE and they are
lost the first time they are laundried.
Those on children's suits are difficult to
match, and new suit soon loses its jaunty
freshness if fastened with odd buttons.
These little things may seem at first
glance to be OF unnecessary trouble, but in
the end it is great saving of time and APP
pearance. The small patch pieces, and
cunning little envelopes of extra buttons
which sometimes come tucked away in the
pockets, are JOY to every mothers heart
1t is not granted to US all to be specially
talented; we may not be able to paint
wonderful pictures, or write books whose
fame is world wide; we may not be able to
render Beethoven's symphonies with grace
and skill, but every woman who has little
common sense and good will can learn to
mend clothes and keep her family in neat
responsibility. 1t will be something if,
when cur tired hands are folded, it will be
said OF US by those who miss our loving
care. ''She hath done what she could"
