PLENTY OF TIME TO SPARE.
He Had just Ono Minute I'm Which to
Take Back Els Charges.

A group of club loungers were ex-
changing "reminiscences when the
youngest of the group spoke up in a
tone that promised a good story.
II can tell you an experience had
when I was with an engineering party
In Idaho a few years ago. A promi-
nent man in the camp had suddenly
disa ppeared, and il was gen.
orally believed that Murphy-or
Desperate Jack, as he was famil-
iarly known-was accountable for
the disappearance. Murphy was
n typical westerner, was born IN
/ the west, had reved around in the west
for years, and it goes without saying
that he was an expert at poker and Il
( crack shot. There were already eleven
notches upon the handle of his re-
volver when | met him. He was abso-
/ lutely fearless and was regarded as the
terror OF the camp. Notwithstanding
the suspicious that arose concerning
. the old colonel's disappearance, there
was 40 positive evidence that Murphy
was the murderer, and probably the
right arm of the law would have proved
a little weak anyway in a case in which
Murphy was involved.

the bar-room, and may possibly have
been affected somewhat by nv half
dozen drinks. ! had dead cinch, |
thought, on my opponent and the
chances were in favor of my becoming
richer by about one thousand five hun
dred dollars, when Murphy sauntered
in. He lounged around the bar for a
few minutes but finding nothing else to
interest him he staggered over to our
/ table and watched the game. Seeing
| that was about to win, he remarked
insolently to my companion: Don't let
that tenderfoot get the best Of you Put
down that ten"
II fired up in the second and was
ready to knock him down.
Study. now, Billy; stiddy,' he said
to me jeeringly.
''Of course 1 lost my temper. called
him murderer and accused him of
killing Brown, and added that every
body knew If. Eyeing me coolly, he
drew out silver-mounted derringer,
with the remark:
Young man, III give you just one
minute to take that back"
Here one Of the club members broke
II with the remark:

ANCIENTS LOVED OpALS,
A Roman Senator Preferred Exile to Part
ing with His Brilliant Opal.

IT
ing with His Brilliant Opal.
There are three varieties of this IA
nous gem. Ranking first comes the
oriental; as second in value, the fire;
and, lastly, the common opal The af-
lection for this precious treasure, as ex-
pressed by the ancients, can hardly be
believed, says Harper's Bazaar Non
MUS, a Roman senator, absolutely pre-
ferred exile to parting with a brilliant
opal of the size Of flbert, which was
earnestly coveted by Marc Antony An
opal ranking as third among the finest
in the world is described as having
three longitudinal bands OF the harle-
quin kind. from the uppermost of which
rose perpe1ldicularly the most re-
splendent flames. 1t measured nine
inches by six.
In the Last century very round and
brilliant opal was the property of the
amateur F7eury. Another, said 20 be
iascinatingty vivid. was owned by
noted French financier These two
were regarded as marve3s of beauty
among gems. On account OF the thou
sand assures Of the stone, engraving Is
always difficult and often impossible.

''presumable opal" an antique, has

GIGANTIC ELAGPolEs.
Description Of Those to Be Used 1T tn
Worlds Fair.

Descrfptioa of Those to Bs Used ct ths
Worlds Fair.
The special train bearing the ten big
logs destined for the fiagpoles for the
Washington worlds fair building at
Chicago win be run in three sections OF
fourteen cars each, says the Spokane
tWash-) Review. Each of the logs
equals the length of seven Fat cars,
though they are loaded In such a man
ner that the weight is carried by two of
the oars With the exception OF the
two longest the logs are placed two to-
gethsr on the cars, but it was impos-
sible to load the two largest In that
manner owing to thsir enormous
weight
The two end cars of the sections win
support the load on a raised blocking
working on pivot The other cars
viii be empty, and the logs viii extend
over them above the cap floors. This
arrangement is necessary, owing 10 the
curves In the road. When the train is
on curve the first and last cars of the
section will, of course, not be in the
same straight line, and if the logs were
supported by all the cars il would be
impossible to round the curve without
breaking either the logs or cars
To overcome this difficulty the NOV
able blocks on the two end cars are
brought into play, and while the empty
cars curve around bend in the track
the pivotS are also turned, permitting
the logs TO always retain the same rela-
tive position with respect to each other.
On sharp curves the middle Of the load
will be entirely clear of the cars 1T the
center Of the section and will lie paral-
lei to tangent drawn at the outer edge
of the curve. When the curve is passed
the pivots again throw the logs back TO
No,
