WEATHERFORD, TEX, April S.-This
morning an ARRAY occurred at the Buff
falo saloon on North Main street, in which
two men, while trying to stop the row +,
were painfully cut. The facts as learned
from Mr.. W. G. Blevins, proprietor of
the saloon, are that Oscar and Chester
Baker. shoemakers here, were in the
saloon Chester talking to Mr.. BlsEins,
when George McKibbon, under the in
fiuence of liquor, walked in the
saloon and began talking to Ches-
ter Baker. Oscar Baker appeared at
this time and interfered. Mr. BIevins
tried TO quiet the disturbance, but
could not handle the three, and he
called to Messrs. G. M Field and Lee
Ray, who were standing outside.
They came IN and attempted to sepa-
rate the combatants, when Oscar Baker
stabbed Mr.. Field in the calf or she leg
and cut Mr.. Ray across the breast and
arm. Both wounds were painful, though
not very serious. Oscar Baker was ar
rested and placed in jail and Chester
Baker and McKibbon were placed in the
calaboose.

ton stood respectfully by divining the rea-
son of this visit He had admitted Miriam
Perciyal Fairfax some months ago, and
well, he remembered it; also that there
was { message here awaiting the master of
Heatherleigh.
Leaning on the arm of the trusty John he
made his way with uncertain faitering
step 70 the family tomb, which seemed TO
say: 'Sir Rupert, they are nearly all here
nearly all here" as he stopped, weary and
faint, at its portals. Poor old mani He took
up the spirit echo and murmured: ayes,
nearly all here; all excepting Miriam and
those other Inflated ones and-and me'
The wind swept up from the sea, sighing
and whispering In the dark yews OF the
sealed volumes Of trouble, pain and tears
laid away to molder In their dank shadows,
breaking into requiems for the silent sleep
ers when gusty branches Of the reddening
oaks We're reached Up throrgn the CEN
trial passageway OF the grounds bordered
on either hand with aged, weeping elms
the restless winds seemed TO catch ne
peaceful inspiration of rest and lost them
selves in meiOdious chants for the dead.
Sir Rupert drew his surcoat closely about
his fral, shivering form, ana heard with
sinking heart the dirges for the dead echo
Ing down the grand old aisles of the ceme-
terry as when he heard them chanted over
Lady Percivars bier on that awful day; the
day when the light and sunshine went out
forever for Heatherleigh, eclipsed by the
shadow OF the tomb.
Then he grew vlsibly agitated, and put
ting ont his hand clutched the outer iron
door TO steady himself and gain sufficient
composure and caimness Of manner, if not
of mind, TO deceive his attendants as to the
nature OF his weakness.
As he did so q piece Of paper dropped
from its hiding place in the interstices of
the complicated fastening and fiuttered 20
his feet.
John picked il up at his masters bidding
and gave it into the trembling, outstretched
palm.

In addition to his important political
place, is the head Of one Of the great
commercial firms OF the country.
Il am sometimes asked" he said,
what is the secret OF success re-
member some years ago a man came
TO our house for employment. He
seemed TO be in earnest, and I told
him We would give him n trial. He
told me he was ambitious to rise and
asked me II there was any rule by
which n man who was in earnest in
his calling could succeed. told him
yes. said TO him substantially this:

business IS your business.
Two young men came into our en-
plOy about twenty years ago. They
began at the bottom round. You ask
me what that is in this business. The
beginner goes to the top story OF the
house with a basket and a card. On
this card are the numbers OF the

as his ability warrants or as n vacancy
may occur. The two young men OF
whom just spoke began in that way.
To-day one OF them is worth $lOu. 600.
and the other is almost as well fixed.
and each has an income Of $4,000.
The trouble with most beginners Is
that they want a big salary at the
start. Or II they begin at the bottom
they want a raise in twelve months.
II they don't get it they begin to look
around and finally go elsewhere for "A
small advance There they want
another advance, and so they keep on
rowing around until they are old, and
they are not particularly valuable

portunities are gone and nobody

In these last days Of his unlucky life
these last weary days, every thing con
duciye 10 lingering remorse had united
against the proud soul OF SIR Rupert, even
the Old facade suggested a tomb.
1t only needed = little something more 70
tip the balance, and in favor of u fastening
demise Sir Rupert could say: II an ready.
On Charon; stand waiting on the treach-
erous sands.''
Peevish and trestless he finally grew
spending hours in climbing up and down
the silent staircases, echoing only 20 his
faltering steps.
Sometimes resting on the landings, he
would mutter 10 himself OF the deceased
Lady Percival, and Of Miriam, and often o.
the little grandson.
Then there came time when he risked
the staircase no longer alone; and in
these wretched days he strayed about the
dark gloomy corridors above during the
long, monotonous summer afternoons, but
ofBener in the midnight watches.
The whole household were daily growing
nervous and uneasy, and were obliged t.
occupy rooms near those Of their master in
order that his many strange fancies might
be the easier looked after.
one great halluCiuaUol Of these desper-
ate days was Sir Rupert imagined that Nj
Ram was secreJed IN the Hall somewhere.
and he caught her peeping through the
hai-oPeu doors, and waxing EIm so often
from his afternoon maps, he said. For
hours and hours he would search aloac
the halls and corrid ors, gong with stealthy
step and unwearying patience. Often he
would pause in these searches and listen
long and anxiously for the sound Of her
foOtstep and the music Of her voice. Some
times he would start up at dead of night
and cry out, eagerly: "Ohi she is comm
now; Miriam. my beautiful aughter. l.
coming; c,-l herr her steps on the stairs -'
Growing contented after these outburst5
and glad hIghtS OF expectation, ne would
wait quietly for her appearing until another
nervous attack seized him, or he had quite
forgotten whom he was waiting for.

LEANING or THE TRUSTY ARM OF JOIN.
ter's face as she called to him across the
portals OF the home he had denied her in
that last good-hye; perhaps the beautiful
features u the little son, framed in by its
long golden riuglets, and pair Of baby
arms outst-etched toward his unrelenting
heart, had a part in the softening process
OF Sir Rupert's speech and manner. And
perhaps il was on this sorrowful and af-
fectIOnate picture that he dwelt in these
dumb, lonely days AL coEjcctured, but
none knew.
Once, after having been driven to Fair
light church, he wanted 10 be taken to Oak
Lawn.
II was in the autumn time, and the day
was cold for the season, and dreary enough
TO have remained indoors, especially for
one so frail and woe-begone. But he wanted

deeply and repeated 10 himself in half

he needed it not What was natures soOth-
ing pity or loving favor to himl He, with
his cross heavier than he could bear, was
at last succunbing TO the inevitable.
Moving his lips as If in praycrful suppli-
cation, he raised his head and sank back
among the crimson cushions OF his easy car
riage.
Who would have dreamed of any thing
but comfort and luxury TO have seen the
Heatherleigh turnout rolling along the
picturesque lanes, with its emblazoned
arms on the panel and the sleek dapple-
grays prancing along, restfye enough under
the tight rein of a handsome, rich-iveried
coachman' But ahl had they seen the sor-
rowful face within!
Miriam then had gone from the Hall on
that fateful day directly TO Oaklavn and
paid, as it seemed, her farewell visit to the
dear, dead mother. And she had, under
cover OF all that stoical, outward cOmpos-
ure, carried away from HeatherleIgh a
breaking heart, and felt her punishment
keenly.
Doubtless, too, she had left the written
goodbye addressed 10 her dead relative at
the tomb purposely that il might some time
fail into the hands of her unnatural father;
putting the slip in the fastening IN the pres
ence Of the sexton, she might have shrewdly
guessed that he would lose no opportunity
TO discover 1t 10 Sir Rupert, which he at
tended TO on his first visit thereafter.
If the design in leaving the paper at Oak
lawn was TO break the austere, hardened
heart of the master of Heatherieigh with
its contents, the plan was well laid aad ex-
ecuted TO fault, and the purpose had been
accomplished without doubt. He sank Yisi-
bly, each day under the terrible blow dealt
him by the proud, suffering daughter, and
he would sit for hours. silently and
alone, in his private apartments; with cur
tains drawn, and grieve IN the gloom of his
desolated home. The weight Of retributon
was fearful. Poor old mani that drive 70
Oaklawn on that quiet autumn day was his
outing; he never recovered enough

Embellishments Which Prepare EdibIes for
saloons on "a Large Scale.
There are ''free-luncE factories in the
town. IN the establishments known by
that name food is prepared for the many
hundreds, perhaps thousands, OF liquor
stores whose owners set ont, on tables
or counters opposite their bars, more or
less tempting arrays of edibles. The
professional temperance orators, who
miss no weak spot in the aruaor OF those
whom they consider the arch foes Of So
ciety, have always asserted that nothing
is offered at these free relreshment
counters except such food as is so salt or
so dry as to send the victimized Dartici-
pant in the feast back 20 the bar for
more drink. Some basis for the assertion
Is seen in the omuipresen5 smoked
uackerel, smoked herring, cheese,
crackers and smoked beef that tie pub
hcans offer, yet il may be that drinking
begeus taste for such peculiar PROV
ender. Time was when the saloon
keepers bought and prepared all the ma
terlaI for their lunch-cOunuers, but to-
day regular business is done by many
large dealers in these supplies They
chop the herrings by machinery, cut
up the cheese and the bread upon
delivery, vary the assortment OF

contract with each saloon-keeper

whatever food is left over from the prin-
cipal hotels. II is not fare which any
