iau met 1uc luterfieW tOCk place d lew Jay
ago at the fortress, anu no more heartIendins
spectacle was ever before witnessed BY tn,
phlegmatic Jail officials, whose tears fell Xix,
rain.
The trembling mother approached her daugh
ter, whose beauty was brought out in greatel
relief by the somber hue of the prison dress
and who moved slowly and with dignity towart
her aged parent without the least symptom Of
tenderness, conjunction or other emotion
Fanaticism had crushed ont or at least re-
pressed ali tender sentiment.

old mother, who bore you and nursed you so
Say you have not torn me from your heart

Talking thus and sobbing aloud she staggered
to the wall and was supported by the jaiiers.
Ter daughter, who had turned as pate as q
sheet during tine scene, but had manifested nc
osher sign Of emotion, suddenly broke down,
losing all control OF herseii-the 81 rings OF
feeling were touched and she sobbed hysteri-
cally, unable to express herself in words.
1T was indeed q heartrending scene" ex-
claimed one of the officials who witnessed it
Il could not close my eyes all that night Tbs
figures OF those two sobbing women will haunt
me to my dying day. 1t would have melted q
heart of stone"
Bat il did not last long. Before the painful
greetings were well over the still more harrow
ing leaye-takiug had to be gone through, and
the heavy, creeking prison doors closed behind
the heart-broken mother, who found herself
alone in the world, while her beautiful youne
daughter was lett to her own conscience ana

bare aspect OF which 10 enough 70 plunge the
soul in the deepest abyss Of despair.
The poor old woman Is half crazy Nth grief,

in the refusal of the emperor to allow sophia

With the Kid OF This and Two Revolver
He Soon Became a Chef.
Not so very long ago large band Of
cattle were resting up few miles from
Vinita, in the Indian Territory, before
being driven across the line 10 Kansas
The boys belonging to the outfit were a
particularly hard lot, and in six weeks
no less than five cooks had left the camp
in disgust, as no matter what they did
or how well the food was prepared the
men were sure to growL The head boss
was in quandary when the fifth man
left, as he knew he would have hard
job TO find another.
To his surprise, however, soon after
sunrise next morning a short, sinewy
son of Erin walked into camp. and, after
lighting his pipe, sat down on a dilapi-
dated gripsack and inquired II cook
was wanted. It did not take the boss
long to make a bargain with the man,
who said his name was Macmillan. He
was soon installed in his position, slowed
his grip away, and after wash in the
creek began the operation Of getting
dinner The boys sized up the new ar
rival as the beans were disbed out, but
said nothing.
Next morning, however, the fun be
gan. One man asked Mac where he
learned TO fry pork. another remarked
that he forgot TO put the coffee in the
pot. but be was deaf TO all until Joe
Taylor, the biggest man in the camp
said ne would be hanged IL he could eat
such biscuit as those, and if there was
no improvement in the grub at noon the
cook would hear something drop.
At the first mention Of the biscuit the
pipe fell from Macs mouth, and ne
stood listening until Taylor had finished.
Then, walking quietly over to the wag
on ne fshed cut pair Of Colts reVolv-
