Months passed. It was noticed that
Podsley was gayer than he had ever
been; and friend who happened to
look into his room one night saw him
holding small bottle in his clasped
hands. bending over it and laughing.
One day Podsley met Billings in the
road. They halted and Podsley took
out the vial Billings took out the
confession.

"And | didn't know that you were so
full of the devil
I Podsley laughed again. IT am going
away" he said, s'and when come back
/ want You Good-by for time
Two years passed. 1t was rumored
that Podsley had been killed in the
Black Hills. There was no cause to
doubt the rumor. An old man from
the far west said that he had seen him
die. This was three months after he
had left home. Billings was free. He
married the girl who had once brought
him a gourd of water.
1t was Christmas morning. Billings
was sitting by his fire. His wife was
hanging evergreens about the room.
Come one shouted at the gate. Bill
l:ngs went ont.
'tWhy, what's the matter, dear?' his
wife asked She had seen him stagger
when he stepped cut. A man on horse
back was at the gate. Podsley had re-
turned.
81 thought you were dead" said Bill
lings, cor this would not have hap
pened." He waved his hand toward
the house. His wife was standing in
the door. She could not hear him.
''But you see that I'm not dead, -
Podsley answered. 1.-TWO weeks ago |

He took out the vial.
"You have but to claim it.
Podsley smiled. 81 say that started
back to claim my own"
81 understood what you said"
"And do you know what I would
claim?"
"My life"
"No, your prayers. My mother Is
dead and her prayer has been answered.

now attempt to teach men to live better
lives; and ] begin by making you a
Christmas present. Your life is your
own-and Gods" He smashed the vial
on a stone, bowed to the woman who
stood in the door and galloped away.

CHATTER I.

In q northeastern region of Georgia
there is community where, it is said,
a mans honor is worth more than his
gold. OF course this is not true unless
-as possibly might have been the case
"a man must have had a small amount
of gold and an enormous degree of
honor. But it is a fact that in this
community a man placed very high
estimate upon his own word. And it
may naturally be inferred that the
code fourished as fever that followed
the chilly observance of trivial though
rigid rules of social conduct. The
code did flourish, and it flourished so
luxuriantly that every man in the com
rlunity became so expert shot that
duel meant almost, certain death for
both parties.
In this community there lived two
young men who had grown up in
rivalry not in the nature of a love
affair. but had early learned to-de-
spise each others good points. Bill
lings acknowledged one day that he
really did not know why he hated

by contemplating what I feel myself
So long as we both live there is no real
happiness for either of us. Why this
is neither of us can tell. but it is a fact.
And now can't we come to some sort
of settlement"
Billings was slowly stroking his
horses name. II should think So" he
answered. 81 am more than willing to
risk my life to kill you, but don't de-
sire that you should kill me. We
might fight a duel with guns or pis-
tols-real gentlemen don't fight with
xnives-but that would mean sure
death for us both. And l insist that
there is no need of but one of us
dying"
That's true" Podsley agreed. "And,
to show you the interest take in the
matter, / would much rather that you
would be the one to die
That is natural, and is therefore
commentaries" said Billings. ''At any
rate this thing can't go on much
longer, and we must, in consequence,
fix up some sort of scheme. Now let
me make a suggestion! We will draw
lots to see which. one shall shoot the
other. No, that would have too much
the appearance of murder. Let me
see. Well draw lots to determine
which one shall take poison. And the
man who draws the poison lot shall
write a statement to the effect that he
has committed suicide. The poison
shall be handed him by the winner.
What do you say?"

At twelve o'clock the next day they
met in the road. They came afoot.
Before we enter into this little com
petition" said Podsley, 1--WE stake our
honor as gentlemen to carry out every
detail of this contract, and to do SO
without carping or grumbling. If

81 agree. Ny honor, which is worth
more than my life, is at stake"

Podsley won. They are now stand
ing in the woods. Billings took out
his confession. Il will be found hold
ing this in my hand" said he. 81 have
left copy of it at home SO that there
will be no question about its genuine
ness" q
He broke a vial against tree and
said: Give me that Podsley was
holding a vial in his hand. 4 say,
give me that and let's have this thing
over. Why don't you give it to me?''
II will in my own good time. Mind
you, your life belongs to me. When
call for it. you must, without word
in objection, yield it up. / will see
you again. Good day."
Months passed and still Podsley
made no demand. Once at a picnic
Billings stood laughing with a party
of friends. Podsley approached and
taking out a vial slyly showed it to
Billings. Billings with equal slyness
took out folded paper and showed it
TO Podsley.

GATHERED ON THE RAIL.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC locomotives will
soon use for fuel bricks made of coal
dust and asphaltum.
The narrowest gauge railroad now
in use is one of twenty inches in North
Carolina, built last year for transport
ing timbers.
THE length of railroads open in Rus
STA increased from Is, $40 miles in 1878
to 1927 miles in 1889, being an in
crease of 5,93S miles only.
THE recent run of the Exposition
flyer over the Lake Shore road be-
tween New York and Chicago was the
fastest long-distance run on record.
The distance of $50 miles was covered
in two minutes less than twenty hours.
WHEN Queen Victoria travels by rail
she pays the companies Is. ed. per mile
for herself, and frst-class fare for
everyone else in the royal train. This
is supposed to make good the loss en-
tailed by the temporary stoppage of
traffic.
EIGHTEEN railway companies have
aided the Columbian exposition by
taking 1857 500 of it's stock and $3.50, 900
of its bonds. Among these the Balti-
more & Ohio took $50, 1000 in stock, and
the Illinois Central $50. 900 in stock and
100000 in bonds.

A BAD PLAN.

il The New York Press has special
news from Washington, indicating the
probable course which the Cleveland
administration will take in regard to
the Hawaiian business. 1t is said that
the report of Mr.. Blount, Mr.. Cleve.
lands special commissioner and
minister to Hawaii. will recommend
that the question of annexation shall
be submitted to popular vote in the
Hawaiian Islands. There is an i'm.
preston prevalent in Washington that
the presidents message to congress on
the subject will strongly urge that this
course shall be taken.
In this. manner the present admins.
tration is anxious to avoid the neces-
sity of direct action. 1t is we'll aware
that its course SO far in this affair has
failed to meet the approval of the
American people. 1t has been I'M
American, and the people feel that Mr..
Cleveland in the matter has acted more
like man that wished to avoid con-
tinuing Republican policy and course
OF action than like one who first and
foremost considered the good OF the
country. He now wants to place the
responsibility for the action that has
become necessary on the shoulders of
the people of the islands. But, as the
Press points out clearly, there are many
reasons why this course should not be
taken. If the great body of the res
idents of Hawaii were intelligent and
responsible persons, and if it were pos
sible to procure an absolutely fair ex-
preston of the popular will, no serious
objections could be urged to this plan.
But multitudes of Hawaiians are notori-
ously venal, superstitious and ignorant.
The class which still cling to the idea
that the United States means to restore
the unspeakably corrupt monarchy are
practically barbarians, whose ideas of
the ballot are about as correct as those
of the Apaches of Arizona. There are
many thousand ignorant and degraded
Chinese and Japanese coolies IN the
islands. To expect these Asiatics, to
whom the very idea OF self government
is unknown, to vote intelligently or
honestly is the height of absurdity.
Like the lower class natives they could
be brought in droves at so much head

BETWEEN OURSELVES.

The quail season is reaching its
height. Almost in any direction from
town at a distance of over half dozen
miles they abound. They are said to
be most numerous down what is known
as the Yuma road. Not field of sage
brush can be visited but the loud whirr
OF covey of them is sudde My heard as
they futter off, to light again some
couple of hundred yards away. The
veteran sportsmen scorn to take them
except upon the wing. The majority
are only too glad to bag them in any
way possible.
The number of business people in
town who are only waiting to secure a
suitable location to start business, is
the surest indication that the main
street must soon be extended both east
and west. The two blocks on Wash
ington street which are considered
most desirable are full to overlooking of
occupants. In several instances two
and three kinds of business is being
conducted in what is naturally one
store. All the stores on both ground
floor and basement of the Fleming
block are either engaged or being con-
sidered.
The butchers who pay store rent and
city license naturally ask that a CITY
ordinance be enacted protecting them
from competition with meat peddlers
who make . business in the cooler
months of running wagons and selling
all sorts of meat without tax or respon-
sibility.
The wholesale jail delivery of eight
county prisoners last week is the most
forcible reminder that we could have
that the Jail is neither as large nor Sc
cure as it should be, and IN no wise
adequate to the needs of the county.

The testimony of tho school BOYS and
girls yesterday in the F1tzgibbon case
was regular picnic. AS picture after
picture of scenes in the school room
was drawn by the ingenious children,
OF bad-boy behavior, such as standing
on the desk when the teacher was out,
"playing bruiser in the marble game.
and making faces behind book at the
girls" not a man present but was re-
minded OF his own boyhood days.
The testimony of one of the boys was
to the effect that the bad boy, Pedro,
WAS very bad boy and had been q
hopeless case. When he was handed
over to the government for examination
the prosecuting attorney simply asked
Didn't you ever giggle behind a book
at girl?
No." said the witness.
"That will do'' and turning to the
court added, while everybody roared
Il never knew boy worth anything
who did not"
The episode very much lessened the
weight Of the lads testimony.

ter and the thousands of American res
idents whose energy and thrift have
brought civilization and prosperity out
of anarchy and barbarism are for union
with the United States on terms which
would secure the personal rights of the
Hawaiians and bring the archipelago
under the protection of American laws.
These men own most of the improved
property of Hawaii. They stand for
order and progress. 1t is they who re-
present the real interests of Hawaii /;
not the horde of imported coolies and
debased natives whom Claus Spreckles
and the agents of European powers can
purchase by wholesale. This scheme
is Tor these manifold reasons impractic-
able. A popular vote in Hawaii would
be huge farce.
The Democratic administration may
as well make up its mind to take in
dependent and dignifed action in the
matter. The American people will not
be satisfied with any other course ; they
will not tolerate any project on the
part of the administration which has in
view the restoration of depraved native
despotism and the sacrifice of American
interests in this invaluable outpost of
the American continent.
