them in good, thrifty condition, and
breed them SO as to have some carly

The Maids of Modern Greece.

The costume worn by the Greek
women is seldom bought ready made.
1t is usually either made by the wear
ers themselves or has come to them by
inheritance. A handsome costume is
an expensive purchase. The chemise.
long enough to form skirt is very
richly embroidered about the bottom in
silk, and the two jackets of white cloth
are elaborate. These are sleeveless.
but fine pair of embroidered sleeves
makes separate part of the dress
Silver ornaments for the head, neck
and arms, a red apron, sash, and q
hilk gauze veil complete the costume.
The last-named items are luxuries, how.
ever, and vary according to the means
Rich maidens braid long strings of coins
into their tresses, and at country
dance, where the costume is seen in its
full splendor, the eyes of the suitor are
as much attrected by the back view as
by the face of the fair creatures. For
everyday use nearly all women of
every age wear handkerchief over the
head, and they are for the most part
manufactured in Greece. AT thens Let.

"The Top Rail-

eyes," said the captain, who was {
veteran trooper, II almost blush when
recall how little mercy our boys showed
during the war for chicken coops and fence
rails, and let me say the Confederates re
sembled the men in blue in that respect.
'But, after all, don't think we should
blame men who tired out with long
march, preferred dry and convenient fence
rails to green and uncut timber
"Of course, our superior officers tried tt
stop the destruction of the fences DAME
O'Connell, to illustrate the effect of wealth
on courts of law, said he could drive
coach and four through any act of paria
ment,' and often think of that when I re
called how our boys got over the orders
against burning fence rails
Seeing the men would have rails, Gen
eral Buell. issued an order commanding
that henceforth only such rails should bt
burned as were found brokenp Well
the boys were tickled. One gang went
ahead and religiously broke the rails, anc
another crowd followed and gathered il
the pieces-all in accordance with orders.
"Seeing that the broken rail- rule de
feated itself, the general put on his think
ing cap, and by way of compromise
between the soldier and fence owner, he
issued an order that hereafter only the
top rails of a fence shall be taken for fuel
Then the boys fairly roared with delight
for, don't you see, there must always be a
top rail- so long as there are two? After
that there were no more rail orders, and
there were not SO many rails burned"

LYING IN WAIT.
A Thousand Rustlers Looking for Col.
Van Horre and His Prisoners,

A Thousand Rustlers Looking for Col.
Van Horne and His Prisoners.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 1S.-Great
anxiety is felt here by the friends of
the imprisoned stockmen and by the
state authorities over the situation in
johnson county. The orders of Gov.
Barber directing that the captured
stockmen at Fort Mckinney be brought
to Douglas, and his order to Sheriff An
gus to turn over the four prisoners he
holds to the military authorities,
has served to arouse intense excitement
throughout Northern Wyoming. The
small ranchmen believe that the in
vaders were to be spirited out OF reach
of their county by the authorities and
by some legal juggling escape trial or
punishment for the killing of Ray and
Champion. The governor disclaims any
intention Of aiding the prisoners to
escape punishment and says they will
be turned over to the civil authorities as
soon as adequate protection due all
prisoners can be given.
A Gillette, Wyo., dispatch says Col
onel Van Horne, of the Sixth cavalry,
was to have left Mckinney Sunday
with his three cattle prisoners, Hesse,
Ford and Elliott, and it was supposed he
did, but nothing was seen or heard of him.
He had three troops of cavalry and his
destination was Fort Dodge, near Salt
Lake City. It is feared he will not
get there without trouble A thousand
armed rustlers, under command of M.
A. Rider, the young preacher, are lying
in wait for the troops and swear they
will get possession of the prisoners and
hang them if they have to kill Van
Horne and all his men to do so. 1t is
thought by some that Van Horne will
change his course and take his prisoners
to Fort Russell, near Cheyenne, where
the Seventeenth infantry is stationed,
evidently being under the impression
that he can make the post without being
intercepted by the rustlers. It is con-
sidered ominous that no word has been
received from the troops. Many wires
have been cut down for several honrs
and it is thought to have been the work
of rust!ers who have met and fought
the troops and want the news kept from
the military authritie5 as long as pos

Secretary of War Issues Instructions Re-
garding Montana Cattlemen.
CHEYENNE, Wy, April 17.-General
Brooke, at Omaha, commanding the de-
partment of the Platte, has notified Gov
ernor Barber that he had been instruct
ed by the secretary Of war to deliver to
him the forty odd cattlemen now at
Fort Mckinney. No news has been re-
ceived here for the past twenty-four
hours from Johnston county and the
rustleEs are supposed to have cut the
wires to Buffalo. Efforts have been
r"de to get dispatches through but
failed. Governor Barber is anx-
ious to get communication with Fort
Mckinney. It Is now admitted that
the removal of the prisoners from Fort
Mckinney to Douglas would be very
hazardous, as it is certain the rustlers
will try to kill them on the way. Every
hour adds more serious aspect to the
situation. The friends, of the invading
cattlemen are sure they cannot get JUS
tice in Wyoming except in this city.
Governor Barber has not notified Gen
eral Brooke whether he will receive the
prisoners. Public sentiment is turning
in favor of the rustlers.

Like his famous ancestor, and all the

lieyed that the true object of life was to
live in the wilderness, hunt deer for food

when the nerves needed toning up.

introducing little story which he told me

The Love of the Dog.

Ouida, the novelist, writes: "The sym
pathy of your dog is unfailing, unobtru-
sive. If you are sad, so is he; and if you
are merry, none is SO willing to leap and
laugh with you as he. For your dog you
are never poor. The attachment of the
dog to man outweighs and almost obliter-
ates attachment in him to his own race.
There is something shocking to our high
opinion of him in the callousness with
which he will sniff at the stiff body of a
brother dog; he will follow his master to
the grave and sometimes die on it,"

That Old Frontiersman.

There were half dozen men, all rich and
jolly, sitting in the Hoffman House cafe
the other night discussing the Chicago
fair, when a tall man with long gray hair
and beard, buckskin pants, a broad, but
rather dilapidated slouch hat and other
signs of time and adversity stood before
them.
"By Jovep whispered one as the appari-
tion halted, sit looks as if the ghost of
Cooper's Misunderstanding had come back
from the grave"
Pardon me, gents, fo' interruptin Of

Ochiltree, ''that is the subject we had

'"Throw any light on it?" repeated the
old man, with laugh so hollow as to sug-

"Why, way back in 1881, when Shecago
was the name of kirk, and not much of

Fort Dearborn, was out thar as a hunter

himself proudly up.

"You don't look it."

"Old Beaubien was Frenchman, and he
had trading store in my early days right
near the mouth of Chicago kirk, and any
one might have had all the land in sight

CHAPTER XII.
FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

Am | awake or dreamibgW
Small wonder little blind Nellie asked her
self the question. as she found herself for
the first time beneath her fathers roof
What a change had been effected in few
short hoursl
That very wonderful thing which she had
thought she had so long prayed for in vain
had now actually come to pass.
There had been those terrible events of
her escape above all, that horrible scene
when her lover had saved her. And here
was joy and gladness, the joy and gladness
she had well nigh despalred OF ever eXpe-
riencing, the finding Of her father.
1t was pity that Sir Lawrence had not
himself told her of the accomplishment of
her great desire. By not doing so he lost
proof of such love in his child's heart as he
did not dream OF. He had meant to per-
form tine grateful office, Indeed had rushed
away from Royal to do so, to find in his
child's Joy some solace for his bruised heart,
but Just as he reached her presence his
courage had failed him before a new flend
which had risen up TO torment him-onS
which made his heart turn faint,s his senses
reel, and almoet turned him wholly from his
purpose
He had with some difficulty put away the
fear that he would be unable to carry on the
deception which ne had undertaken in his
child's presence. She was blind, and thus
almost impossible, save as the man she had
seen die. There lay his danger But 50 far
as detection lay, did he but nerve himself
to play his part as bravely as he had hith-
ert) done, he was safe. The new fear.
