Half a century ago clerk in New
York city was wont tO take down the
shutters IF the store AZ precisely6 o'clock
in the morning. While he was taking
them down, rain or shine, a certain old
gentleman almost always passed by on
his way to his place Of business. The
old gentleman smiled ID benignantly
upon the young man that hearty and
familiar good morning" became nat
ural TO both.
Month after month this mutual greet
ing continued, until one morning the ola
gentleman was missed and he never ap-
pcared again. He was dead Not long
aftcrward the enterprising and faithful
clerk was waited upon by the admins
TRAITOR Of the old mans estate and in
formed that his store and stock Of goods
had been willed TO him.
Attracted by the youths promphess
and fidelity, the old gentleman had in
quired into lis character and circum-
stances and was satisfied that he could
leave his property to no one SO likely to
make good use Of it as the clerk who
took Down the shutters at just o'clock,
summer and winter
Through this legacy the clerk was in
troduced into profitable business at
once and he afterward became one Of
the most wealthy, benevolent and re-
spected merchants of the city.-Youths

Pallid and wan the first faint CLEAN of
the coming day was stealing slowly into
the eastern skies. Far away down the
broad valley the mist was creeping from
the slow moving, silent stream. Peace
and slumber and solitude hoyered over
the wide acres where the tasseled corn
had waved III the summer breeze and
the bearded rye and bristling wheat had
ripened and bleached under the fervid
touch of the summer sun. In the barn
yards and sheds the cattle still crouched,
browsing and budding for warmth. In
the orchards and among the naples and
beechcs the bluebirds and jays and be-
lated robins still perched among the
autumn leaves, their heads tucked away
under sheltering wings. Under dew
laden hedgerows the mother bird nestled
her little brown brood, and Bob White
ltill dozed away the dark hour that pre-
cedes the dawn. All over the placid,
populous valley without the reservation
lines the wings Of night were spread.
All through the streets of the thriving
county town only the tread of the watch
man walked the echoes, only the glim-
lner of his lamp was seen. The waning
moon, a dim, mist bedraggled crescent,
had peeped up over the shadowy forest
down the eastward valley and climbed
slowly toward a sheltering bank of
cloud and there seemed to halt and hide
Putting and painting, a long, long train
had wound under the wooded bluffs and
was kissing at the station platform at
the foot of the curving road that led to
the broad plateau of the fort. And now
lights were dancing and cleaning every
where along the train; men in cavalry
overcoats and topboots We're busily,
rapidly, silently leading horse after
horse up the wooden ramps, or chutes,
and into the dark depths of the cattle
cars. Many trooper stopped moment
after lashing his halter strap to the rail
and murmured few caressing, reas-
suring words to his wondering charger,
patting him on neck or shoulder and
striving to explain to him how it hap
pened that he was stirred out from his
warm stable at this unseemly hour and
marched into prison pen on wheels be-
hind those black, kissing monsters up
ahead. Silence and order and discipline
prevailed. Only when some excitable,
nervous stced balked and refused to
climb the chute was there unusual
Bound. Then the sharp crack Of the
stable sergoant's whip and stern "Hup,
therel" brought the brute to his senses,
and he plunged along up the wooden
ramp, his iron shod hoofs laundering on
the boards, his troopers arms nearly
wrenched from their sockets.
The division superintendent had been
better than his word. for it was only
four o'clock when the train came kissing

The floor creaked somewhere overhead.
Then be was sure he heard quick,
light footfali Oh the STAIR "Oh, Doc!
Here 4 am. It's Kenyon" he cried.
But no answer came. Once more re-
turning to the hall, and thence to the
sitting room, he found them empty AZ
before. The paflor door on the west
side was closed. Slowly he strolled out
on the front piazza. just in time to catch
sight Of tail form IN the dark circular
cape striding up to the gate. Surely
that was Holden. Then he heard a
hail:

quarters a moment. I'll be in by and

"All right. Kathleen will get us some
coffee after while. Bring in some Of

came bounding up the steps. Hello,
Kenyon. You here: Well, you were

been over to the hospital to see to the

Kenyon.

"Well, some one was here-up stairs

no answer, bat saw man and heard
the steps. Thought it was you"
"Rolfe, perhaps. He was in the road
just beyond orr gate as came back, butt

to the landing where Nita Guthrie had
her mysterious fright and fall. The
door Of the room she occupied was open.
All was darkness within. Holden, fol
lowed by Kenyon, entered, and they set
their lights upon table The side win
dow was shut and barred, the south win
dows as firmly closed. Everything
looked neat and undisturbed, but cold
and deserted No sign Of an intruder
for a moment to the eyes Of either man.
Then of Il sudden Holden made spring

THE GRAND JURY.

Pending the investigation of coun-
ty officers by tho Grand Jury there
has been widespread belief in this
city that the Grand Jury would not
endeayor to make thorough investi-
cation.
Whatever may have been the opin-
Tor of citizens or the APPEAL regard
ing the disposition of the Grand Jury
to make an impartial search for truth.
we feel that they are honestly en-
-deavoring to reach the bottom facts.
They haYe sent far and wide for wit
nessess and are now using every pos
sible endeavor to reach everyone who
has any information to impart. Ev-
cry citizen who wishes to testify can
so state to any member of the Grand
Jury and he will be called on to do
so. While there has been consider
able criticism regarding the Grand
jury about the city, their labors of
yesterday entities them to considera-
tion and the community will do well
to suspend judgment until they make
their report.

Commissioner Morris.

Having voted with Davis in all the
stages of the printing contract, it is
dollars to Goldfish balls that the AP-
PEAL will make no effort to trump up
any charges against Commissioner
Morris. Tribune.
Morris voted with the APPEAL be-
cause as he said it had the lowest bid
before the board. Commissioner
Morris has frequently voted against
the APPEAL. We never considered
that his friendship for the paper af-
fected him in the slightest.
We have never investigated Com
missioner Morris because we know
of nothing in his long official career
in this county that smacks of wrong.
If the Tribune knows of anything
against him as an official and will
acquaint the APPEAL with the facts,
we will show him up the same as any
body else. An official who does not
obey the law has 10 business in office
a single day.

PECULIAR ZEAL.

When District Attorney Summer
field enforces law, it is not because
it is the law, but because the law APP
plies to someone he disllkes.
He has been for months on the
trail of Mr.. Willis Clarke, and fol-
lowing him il the courts like sleuth
hound. For what, not because Mr..
Clarke is a criminal, but because
Symmetrical has a score to settle
with Clarke and because he has dis
covered some clause in the Constitu-
ton which he claims prevents Fed
eral Office holder from being a
Notary Public.
There is so little in a Notary Pub-
lie Office in this city, that nobody
would spend ten dollars to fight the
case, were it not for the peculiar
reasons Summerfeld has for venting
his spite ON Clarke.
Clarke was a member of the
Grand Jury that put Summerfeld in
such a peculiar fix in the Davis case
and he has been fighting to get even
on the members of that Grand Jury
ever since.
He dug up this law on Clarke and
has succeeded after infinite labor
and legal zeal and study in removing
Clarke from the place and cutting
down his income perhaps ten dollars
a month.
The case will be appealed 70 the
Supreme Court by Clarke.
If Symmetrical were to display
half this zeal in closing up Chinese
tan games, running illegally, hunt
ing the law on actual criminals and
looking after the leaks made by
boodlers in Ormsby county, his oc-
cupancy of the District Attorneys
Office would be of some benefit to
the taxpayers.
