the cause of the present uneasiness IN the

ters to brokers and scalpers
They, he said, were the chief distribut-
find remedy for 1t. He declines to di-
vulge the plans, but from the tenor of
his remarks it is believed that whenever
large blocks of tickets should fall in the
hands of scslpers, as the harvest excur-
sian tickets have recently, he wou,d
authorize the roads in the Trans-Mis-
souri, territory to sell below scalpers' low
est rate and drive brokers out of the
business

In Great Good Luck.

A Detroiter who was looking for
lands in southern Kansas got of the
train at a little town at midnight, says
the Free Press. and in trying to find his
wav 10 a hotel he went astray and
brought mp against a man who held The
muzzle of a shotgun against his breast
and said:
Now. then. II you move a foot you
are aAead man!'
He moved his tongue instead and
asked what was wanted. Two more
citizens joined him. and he was then
marched 10 the lookup and told that
he was a prisoner charged with at
tempted burglary the night before.
Two of the men positively identified
him as the man they had seen running
away from a jewelry store. Seeing It
was no use 10 talk he kept still. and
they went through him. They found
nothing suspicious, but held TO their
case. and he was locked up aud left
alone. Early next morning a fat little
Justice of the peace came putting in and
called u
why didn't you tell US we had got
the wrong man?'
1T was no use"
1T wasn't, Ell? You'll have 10 pay
for all this!'
But it wasn't nv mistake"
Yes. it was! Here you've gone and
laid US liable for a suit Of false im-
prisonment, and l won't stand it."
IF the officers don't know their
business l can't help it."

person, and tine you s. and a month

And | must pay Is because your

Detroiter.
Certainly. While we were fooling
with you the man we wanted got away.
Any more hesitation will be contempt
OF court and a hundred dollars tine and
six months in Jail. Train is aboutd due,
and my buggy is outside"
He rode down with him, and rs the
train moved off Ibis honor" said:
You got out of this mighty lucky,
old fellow! There is only one lawyer
in town. and he was calculating to
charge you $50 for advising you to take
the dirt road out of this and strike a
gait of ten miles an hour!'

RAPID REPORTING.
How They DO It Acros. the water.


According to a Scottish contemporary
this Is the way one Of Mr.. Gladstone's
great Midlothian speeches was reported
so as to be in type almost before the
cheers which greeted its conclusion had
ceased. He began his speech at 40 p.
N. and finished at $50; the last OF the
reporters copy" was In the printers
hands-at a distance OF halt a mile of
at 5:3s; the forms OF type were made up
and sent 10 press at $50; twelve
minutes were spent in the stereo-
tipping room; the machines were set
rolling at 500, and boys with bundles Of
papers were selling in all directions a
minute or two afterward, the completed
report being published half an hour be-
fore any other. There were in all over
six columns OF a report, of which almost
Eve columns we're devoted TO Mr.. Glad
stones speech word for word. Nine OF
the reporters formed the note taking
corps proper; another took that is
known as a check note" a third
acted as ''timekeeper." No. l took
a short hand note for one minute,
No. 9 followed, and so on. No. l, of
course, had time to write up his notes
before his turn came round after No. 9
had completed his note taking. In the
latter stage the turns" were reduced to
half a minute each. One reporter had
charge Of the collection and arrange
ment of the copy" and as each sec
tion" was ready, il was handed TO a boy,
whose duty 1t was 10 act as go-between
from the reporters TO an outside mes
senger at the door. From this door at
the corn exchange to the newspaper
Office there was a chain OF boys, each with
a beat of about 200 yards. Each boy on
receiving copy ran forward TO his near
est ~neighbor. returning afterward to
his former post, and in this way the
various sections were delivered at the
printing Office in an incredibly short
time-more quickly, indeed, than by
cab or horse. At headquarters fifty
four c~ompositors in their order each
took a sheet Of the copy" The opera
ton OF setting up each sheet would only
occupy three or four minutes. The re-
port was out OF hand within a minute
or sWo of sitting down, and all without
a hitch.

CHAPTER VII.

IN THE ENEMY , CANT.
Noone was more surprised than Marya at
the sudden friendship which had arisen
between her eccentric ledger and DR..
Hyde. The ways of men were not
strange to her, but she had never seen
anything so strange as this. Two per-
sons more opposite in character it would
have been difficult to find, yet the next
morning, when Mr.. Barker started for
Southampton, George was there wait
ing for him, and looking after him as
il he had known him for years.
Cinci did not go; his master told him
to stay and look afterthe boy, threaten
ing him with dire pains and penalties
should anything go wrong.
"And he is to have the run of my
rooms as a playground" the old gentle
man said. LET him make as much
noise as he likes. Mary, my dear, the
next time you see me you will very like
" see your Uncle Michael as well. l
may not return for two or three days,
but do not be afraid; Mr.. Hyde will
take care Of me, for your sake
II am sure he will" said Mary, in
nocently.
For she had no idea of anything but
the most pure, frank friendship for her
husbands old companion, but the first
idea came when she saw the self-con-
scious change in Georges face; and she
was not a little troubled. Could she
have been mistaken in thinking he was
engaged to Miss AllenbyY and did he
care for her in a way that was more
than brotherly? Mary took that posi-
bility into her mind with a sweet ems
of surprise and pleasure, not unattend-
ed by pain. Their relationship, so far,
had been so entirely confidential and
unselfsh, any change would throw a re-
straint upon it, however it might end.
Mary had grown very fond of MI.
Barker; of course, her child's love for
the singular old gentleman was a direct
passport to her heart; but it was not
that alone. She found herself hoping
that Uncle Michael would be like him
-even to his oddities. She knew him
so well by this time; his terrific treat
mept OF poor MI. Parker only amused
her now, and she Told that young dis
cipIe OF Gaien not TO mind him.

Mr.. Parker urged. Il have heard say
