''Well, well, you don't say? I'm sure
I'm glad to have this honor. My
names Morgan. These are my friends.
Shake, pardner. Are you lost here?'
The Mexican was so astonishcd at
the GOODNESS of the American that he
did not know what to do. He was
used to see the mention of his name
inspire terror. He lowered his pistols
and shook Morgan's hand heartily, to
the surprise of the onloohers.
IL think | have heard your name be-

giving the Mexican chance to speak.
''Ah. yes, | have it; You are chief of
the patrol, and you have number of

The Mexican was so surprised that
he actually looked imbecile, and it
was some few seconds before he re-
gained his breath.

That's business" said Morgan

The Mexican put up his pistols, and
they shook hands again.
''Tll pay you for the first year now,"
said Morgan, and taking some money
from his pocket counted out two hun
dred and fifty dollars and handed it to
him. ''When the year is up, you send
or go to the American consul at Vera
Cruz and he will pay you for me for
the next year; but, now remember, for
each time that som one is robbed on my
hacienda shall deduct ten dollars
from your next pay. Is it agreed?"
"It is, senor."

into the bushes with his companion.
Morgan's friends joined him and they
resumed their journey in silence, and
one by one their Mexicans caught up to
them.

No, Cap: I'm Just struck speechless

last notes Of the call died away, three
Americans, followed by half q dozen
Mcxicans, entered the yard, all booted
and spurred, ready 70 be off. With the
customary shouting and chattering,
the horses and pack mules were brought

The Americans were bound for the
interior, where, near Tehuacan, they
were to look over q tract Of
land recently purchased by one Of
them, Jack Morgan. The other two
Americans were friends Of Morgan

The first days travel was uneventful.
and the MeXicans selected a fine camp

the pipes were brought out, and seated
about the fire the Americans discussed

BRUSSELS, Oct. 1.-Gcn. Boulanger

Gently died in this city.
The suicide of the general took place
at about noon. Boulanger stood alono
by the grave Of his mistress for somo
time, appearing to be deeply affected
by sorrowful recollections An at
tendant, who had respectfully re-
mained at some distance, suddenly
heard a sharp report Fastening to
the spot he found Boulanger lying dead
upon the ground with a revolver in
his right hand. A hasty examina-
ton of the body showed that he had
placed the weapon to his right ear and
fired. The deed has caused intense eX-
citement among the followers of the
dead general both here and in Paris.
The police, who are now in possession
of the suicides lodgings, have not yet
announced whether he left any state
ment. 1t is known that Boulanger's
position, both financial and political,
had been getting blacker and blacker
Of late. The future held out no hope
to him, and his remaining friends be-
came as cold as they had once been
warm when it was seen that the once
famous soldier was no longer necessary
to the welfare of France. OF these
things he was conscious, and they

added the morbid love or infatuation

They are growing fewer and fewer
every day now. Thsse old soldiers
who fought the battles of the South
during the great civil war. But
their honor is growing greater and
greater Bravely they faced death
in the hour of their country's need
and they often conquered where
desperation and despair stared them
in the face. But great as was their
struggle then, their mighty fight
against the superior odds in the
battle of life has been greater. The

they ''pass over the river to the rest

an example that may be followed in
consciousness OF duty fulfilled to

Some of the farmers of Eifel, the
district that lies between the from
tier of Belgium and the Rhine, adopt
novel plan for soaring the birds
from the wheat. A number of poles
are set up in the corn6elds, and a
wire is conducted from one to anoth-
er, just like the telegraph posts that
you see alongside of the railway.
From the top of each post there
hangs a bell. which is connected
with the wire. Now, in the valley
brook runs along, with a current
strong enough to turn a small water
wheel, to which the wire is fastened.
AS the wheel goes around 1t jerks
the wire, and so the bells in the diff
fercnt fields are set a-tinkling The
bells thus rung frighten the birds
the from grain, and even excite
the wonder of men and women until
they discover tie secret. This SIM
pie contrivance is found to serve its
purpose very we'll.
