A Telephone REGISTER.

The present system of charges for
the use of telephones by annual sub
scriptiOn is by many considered unjust,
inasmuch as some subscribers speak
often and much. whereas others use
the telephone only occasionally. In
some German telephone Offices an cleo
trical1y driven clock is attached to each
telephone, which will work as long as
the telephone is off the hook, and stops
directly it is replaced; the service Is
charged for according to the time re-
corded. 1t is claimed for this system
that unnecessary conversations are
prevented, that those that take place
are limited to reasonable length, and
the useful efficiency of the whole in
stallation is increased--Electric

CHAPTER XVIII. FRIENDS AT WAR.

In vain Lura Joyce tried to cry out. The terrible fingers about her throat shut off all articulation.
 "Yes, you shall die!' hissed the voice of Clinton Starbright, as he crushed her to the ground, and chung to her throat with the fury of a madman.
 He did not know how she came to escape from the doom of the gulch, he only knew that she was alive and ready to do him the utmost harm. He saw her enter the house, he guessed the truth, although he had not seen her face, and had lain in wait until she came out.
 He had come too near the goal of his ann bilious desires to falter at trifles, or at the sacrifice of human lives. There was no mercy in his heart as he pressed the slen- der girl under his hands to the earth.
 Poor Lural
 She grew faint, and myriads of strange lights fitted before her vision. Was this death: Would no one come to the rescue2
 These thoughts fitted through the be- numbed brain of the dying girl, and then the darkness of inseusibility crept over all
 'Scoundrel, have you at lastr'
 A hand clutched the arm of the wicked assassin, and the next instant he was hurled rudely from his victim.
 Captain Starbright uttered low, alarmed cry. It was no ordinary affair to be caught HI SuSu a poSItlOu, anu ger at once.
 Drawing his hat low, he attempted to escape, but stern voice held his steps, and sent chill of alarm to his craven heart.
 ''Run, or offer to, and I firer'
 Then the Captain saw that he was cov- cred by n gleaming revolver. His own hand fell to his hip. To his chagrin, how ever, he discovered that he was unarmed
 II know you, Clint Starbright,o hissed the stranger. ''The gold hills of California have waited for your return in vain. There's a halter there which Judge Lynch has knotted for the murderer. Your mask de- ceived no one, and even the wide expanse of a continent between you and your crime will not save you. Murder! That seems to be your ealing, and it is one befitting your character-''
 At this moment the moon illuminated the scene, and the strangers face was fully re- vealed.
 Captain Starbright interrupted him with a great cry.

CHAPTER XVI.


 As may bc supposed, the inmates of the room were not little startled at this unex- pected summons from without.
 "What shall we dol" whispered Went word.
 "Ayel there's the rub," uttered Fingal, in a dramatic voice.
 "Wlll you open or must force tho door7" demanded the voice from without. "Neither one, hope" returned Fingal. Pray, who are you, and what do you want with peaceable citizens?'
 "I have a warrant for every one of you" "There must be some mistake" :" asserted Weutword.
 "Histv' exclaimed Don Benito, his deep- set eyes gleaming like coals of fire. II have been expecting this all along. Our plans are discovered, and tho Doge has sent his minions to murder us. We must give them warm reception" and at this the old man drew small revolver from his pocket and drew the hammer, while his glitterlug eyes were fixed ominously on the door. This movement on the part of the de- mented old man promised trouble. Went word and Fingal believed that a mistake had been made, and so while the young hunter laid his hand on the arm of Don Benito, Austin Wentword stepped to the door and said:
 "We are pcaceable citizens and can con-
 
 molested by the law. I hope you will not insist on disturbing us'
 "I do insist,n answered the man outside. of what you say is true you will not fear Investigation"
 "Certainly not.''
 Wentword turned to Flngal, who had succeeded in disarming' Don Benito, as the old man was pleased to term himself. Fingal said:
 "Open the door, we have nothing to fear"
 Wentword obeyed, revealing two men outside in the uniform of the city police. Both advanced into the room with blus- tering air.
 "You are prisoners" declared the foro- most man, sternly.
 'Ha! doth tho Doge dare insult his friends thus' We wlll not give up tho precious documents we have risked so much to gain,' cried Don Benito, tiercely. Then, ere those present could comprehend his intentions, he bent low and darted swiftly at the officer in the doorway. His head struck the fellow in the pit of the

Alaska and Alaskan waters seem at all
times prepared to furnish news items of
interest. There were the seal contro-
versy, the boundary dispute with Great
Britain, involving the ownership of some
promising gold fields; the Chinese and
opium smuggling problems, the long
doubt as to the fate of the Wells explor-
ing expedition, and so on. Affairs in
which persons and nations are concerned
are now nearly all arranged or in process
OF arrangement, and taking advantage
OF the lull Dame Nature has gone into
the business of raising rumpus.
Bogoslov was an island of the Aleutian
group. A long reef connected two high
peaks, and IN the center of the reef rose
pillar eighty-four feet tall, known as
Sail rock. Some time ago the crew of a
sealer noticed as their vessel sped past
Bogoslov that the island was sinking.
1t went down almost before their ewes
First the reef disappeared, then Sail rock
vanished, and there remained the two
peaks, from one of which spouted fire
and smoke. Later on Captain Hooper, of
the steamer Corwin, visited the spot by
order of the United States government.
