CHAPTER XII.
COL. M'ARDLR UNDER FIRE.

COL M'ARDLR UNDER FIRE.
The next day was devoted to down.
right work; laughing eyes and curs
were to have the go-by. In the morning
Windward kept his room and method
cally reviewed the budget of documents
in his saclel relating to the French
claims. Having thus refreshed his
knowledge Of the case he outlined
course Of action. And the first step he
decided would be 10 ascertain just how
far Col. McArdle felt identified with the
claims and how much direct help he
could be depended on to furnish. To-
ward noon, therefore, he sought the colo
mel at his Office, and this time was fort
unate enough to find him in. A client
was pouring a grievance into his ear,
rather to McArdle's disgust, as Wind
ward thought, judging from the short,
curt replies the colonel made to the
angry vdlubihty of the excited lsyman.
But finally he was disposed OF, and then
he-colonel turned with a smile to his
young friend.
''Your servantr" he said, taking an at
ttude of attention.
'Col. McArile, said Windward, "you
know my errand in Washington. Now,
l want to ask what arrangement, if any,
we could make"
The colonel glanced at the clock.
THAT, he said, 1--WE can talk about at
lunch. Will you walk home with me?'

Now" said the colonel, wHeh they
were fairly started, '''you mean to spend

will. Consider me retained. And now
do you want my first advice?"
eff you will, answered Windward.
"Go home; get ahead in your profes
sion; marry wisely; work hard; sue
coed; and let the claim alone"
81 suppose you are right, said Wind
ward; but must have one drive at it. !"

every WELL" replied McArdle. CAS-
the egg shell said to the coffee, That
settles it So nv next advice is: Don't
go crazy; keep your head. Don't figure
in a tragedy of the private calendar.
There is a silent suburb across the Poto-
mac, Mr.. Bassett, where you can find
pretty compact SORROW and horror. But
Arlington does not compare with the
private calendar as national cemetery.
Before you begin you ought to go down
into the underground file rooms of the
senate and house and see the dead
claims and memorials, duly numbered
and labeled, like the dried corpses in the
catacombs of Palermo"
Il can see my danger" said Wind
ward, land hope to avoid it. shall
try TO be, as Uncle Tom expressed it, a
steady but moderate claimant
Certainly" replied McArdle tartly.
There is moderation and propriety in
things. One surely can admire Job
without naming his daughters Jemima,
Kezia and Keren-happuch! As for my
fee, don't expect to get any, so we
won't quarrel over per cents. You will
do the active work, of course, but con-
suit me whenever you choose. And
right here, one direction: In course of
time you viii be approached by strikers
and all sorts of lobby small fry, who
will ask or maybe demand employment.
Now don't offend these people; they can
! injure if, they can't help you, but Just
! refer them f1oiitely to me-"
McArdle's tone as he said this was in
exorably calm, but Windward, looking
quickly up, caught him smiling in a
grim fashion that BODIED no good to
blackmailers.
II shall be very glad to avail myself
Of that privilege" said Windward, land

Uncle Sam and Science.

Right here it is worthy of remark that
the United States Government is the clos
est-fsted on this earth 90 far as patronage
of science and scientific institutions are
concerned. As will be observed above all
the good work of the Lumholtz expedition
is paid for by two scientific societies which
get nothing from the public purse. I sup

An Interesting Little Country.

While on the subject of Worlds Fair
exhibits, think that the endeavor of little
British Guiana to have itself represented is
worthy of note. There is really nothing
extraordinary to come from that country,
with the exception of few unfamiliar
native woods of value, but it is the erter-
prise of this tiny colony that entities it to
distinction. Although having the disad-
vantage of q poor quality of citizens-the
criminal class at the last census numbering
fully 30 per cent of the population-it has
steadily developed its resources
In 1747 two schooners carried to Europe
the entire produce of the country. In 1889
the exports amounted to over 81, 900, 900,
made up chiefly of gold, sugar, rum and
molasses. This is an excellent showing for
country with an area of only 109, 900
square miles and q population Of 2S2, ,O66.
1t amounts to nearly S41 head; that of the
United States aggregating only $13. By all
means let Us have little Guiana at the Fair.

him how to hustle out drunken men at their
respective stations, for, as I've already re-
marked, the fellow had been on the police
force. When it came to the various calls,
however, the new mans previous expert

calling he had done while guardian of the

his beat and at the side doors OF saloons.
At length the conductor got tired and re-
marked:
''See here, Gully; when we stop at sta
tion you listen to me an then holler out the
same for your end of the car. See?"
The new man thought he did, and the
train went on. The first station was
Chatham Square and the conductor roared:

On the Bavispe river, near Granados, he
has found three large pueblos, all of which
are in ruins and on the Eastern side Of the
mountains, $3.50 feet above the sea level,
many caves containing remarkable houses
built of porphyry pulp. In some cases
these houses are three stories high, with
windows and stone staircaseA The fields in
the vicinity indicated that corn, beans and
even cotton had been cultivated.

was in as perfect condition as if it had just
come from the hands of the maker. Dr..
Lumholtz thinks it was used to store Indian
corn. Near Nacory several deposits of fos-
sils were found, and one Of the exploring
party discovered the tusk of q mammoth
which was not petrifed and measured 6
feet inches long and 26 inches around at
its greatest circumference. The natives
thought this and the fossils surrounding
it the bones of giants. In one part of the
the expedition encountered re-
markable range of temperature. The night
before Christmas the thermometer stood
300 Fahrenheit and within "a hours it had
risen to q temperature of nearly 1900.

Another Race Of Dwarf.

live in the forests and are great elephant
hunters. They supply quite number of

tribes of Africa, and withdraw to other

Chance for an American GIrL

do not know whether the opportunity
extends to our American girls or not, but
it is q fact that the London Graphic recent
ly contained the following advertisement;
"a woman of title, moving in the first So
ciety, will receive young lady into her
house as friend; terms, $4,000 year. I"
Now, there's chance cha &c to to buy e ones ,y way
niless "lord' or ''count" husband. The
opportunity to make the acquaintance Of
the bright scions of royalty is certainly
worth something, even If that something
amounts to $40, 900 year, and then there Is
really no telling what may be gained by
such acquaintanceship. Sometimes our
girls spend more than that for less return;
but, ah-thank goodness, it is not often.
