President Hayes was adopted and the
house adjourned about O'Clock.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Wolcott of Colo
rado in the senate Saturday vigorously at
tackled the Columbian postage stamp and
offered resolution disseminating the sale
thereof, his objection being that it was too
large. The house substitutes for the bill
concerning testimony under the interstate
commerce act was non-concurred in. Petit
tions favoring the opening of the Worlds

presented, signed by Archbishop Kenrick
(Roman Catholic), and Bishop Tuttle

was debated for a long time without ac-
ton, and no other business of Importance
was transacted
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Chandler in the
senate yesterday defended the anti-option
bill in the matter of its tax feature which
has been vigorously attacked. Republic
ans and Democrats alike declaring that a
tax except for revenue was unconstitution-
al. 1t was agreed to vote on the bill Tues
day next. The Cherokee outlet bill was
then discussed without important action
until adjournment.
The house held boisterous session over
the quarantine bill, the fight being between
the "state's rights" men and "the national
itss." The bill is sort of compromise as to
that issue and was finally passed. The
balance of the day was devoted to the sun
dry civil bill.

Before they had time to recover l sept

Then l looked around again into the
deckhouse. The whole place was full
of the smoke of my own firing, just as
my ears seemed to be burst with the
noise of the shots. But there was Alan
standing as before; only now his sword
was running blood to the hilt, and him
self so swelled with triumph and fallen
into so fine an attitude that he looked
to be invincible. Right before him on
the floor was Mr.. Shuan on his hands

After that the voice fell again into

now one person spoke most of the time,
as though laying down plan, and first
one and then another answered him
briefly, like men taking orders. BY this
made sure they were coming on again,
and told Alan.
Then there came o single call on the

CHAPTER X.

THE SIEGE OF THE ROUNDHoUSE.
But now our time of truce was come
to an end. Those on deck had waited
for my coming till they grew impatient,
and scarce had Alan spoken when the
captain showed face in the open door.
''Stand!" cried Alan, and pointed his
sword at him.
The captain stood indeed, but he
neither WINGED nor drew back foot.
"a naked sword?" says he. "This is
strange retarn for hospitality"
"Do you see me-" said Alan. II am
come of kings; bear a kfngs's name.
My badge is the oak. Do ye see my
sword? 1t has slashed the heads off
mair Whigamores than you have toes
upon your feet. Call up your vermin to
your back, sir, and fall on. The sooner
the clash begins the sooner yell taste
this steel throughout your vitals."
The captain said nothing to Alan, but
he looked over at me with an ugly look.
"David," said he, 'I'll mind this" and
the sound of his voice went through me
with jar.
Next moment he was gone.
"And now," said Alan, "let your hand
keep your head, for the grip is coming. VI
Alan drew dirk, which he held in
his left hand in case they should run in
under his sword. I on my part clam
bered up into the berth with an armful
of pistols and something of heavy
heart, and set open the window where
was to watch. 1t was O small part of
the deck that 1 could overlook, but
enough for our purpose. A little after
and there came clash of steel upon the
deck, by which Iknew they were dealing
out the cutlasses, and one had been let
fall, and after my chief wish was to
have the thing begin and be done with it.
1t came all of q sudden when it did,
with rush Of feet and roar, and then
shout from Alan and sound of
blows and some one crying out as If
hurt. looked back over my shoulder
and saw Mr.. Shuan in the doorway
crossing blades with Alan.
"Thats him that killed the boy!'
cried.
"Look to your Window said Alan,
and as turned back to my place I saw
him pass his sword through the mates
body.
1t was none too soon for me to look to
my own part, for my head was scarce
back at the window before five men,
carrying % spare yard for a battering
ram, ran past me and took post to drive
the door in. just as they swung the
yard cried out, "Take that" and shot
into their midst.

ISOLATION OF PRAIRIE LIFE.
Bleak surroundings the Northwestern.
Pioneer Must Face.

If there be any region in the world
where the natural gregarious instinct of
mankind should assert itself, that region,
according to the AtLdRt3c MOntb(y, is our
northwestern prairies, where short, hot
summer is followed by long, cold Win
ter, and where there is little in the aspect
of nature to furnish food for thought. On
every hand the treeless plain stretches
away to the horizon line. In summer it
is checkered with grain fields or carpeted
with grass and flowers, and it is inSpir-
ing in its color and vastnesS: but one mile
of ii is almost exactly like another, save
where some watercourse nurtures fringe
of willows and cotton woods. When the
snow covers the ground the prospect is
bleak and dISpirltlng. No brooks babble
under icy armOr. There is no bird life
after the wild geese and ducks have passed
on their way South. The silence of death
rests on the vast landscape, save when it
is swept by cruel winds that search out
every chink and Granny of the buildings,
and drive through each unguarded aper-
Uure the dry, powdery snow, In such a
region you would expect the dwellings to
be of substantial construction but they
are not The new settler is too poor TO
build of brick or stone. he hauls few
| loads of lumber from the nearest railway
station and puts up a frail little house of
| two, three or four rooms that looks as
though the prairie winds would blow it
away. Were it not for the invention of
tarl ed building paper the t1imsy walls
would not keep out the wind and snow.

often nondescript affair of sod walls and
straw roof Lumber is much too dear to
be used for dooryard fences, and there is

| wire fence surrounds the barnyard
| Rarely are there any trees, for on the

! be nursed with care TO get start. There
is a saying that you must first get the In
| dian out of the soil before tree will grow
at all, which means that some savage

more cheerful in sight than the distant

schoolhouse is closed and there is nothing
for them TO do but to house themselves

Gladstone's Remarks Regarding Gem

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Globe criticises
Gladstone's slurring remarks regarding
General Tracy, ex-Secretary of the Navy,
in last nights debate in the Commons.
These remarks, which were not given in
last nights report, were IN response to
an aIlusion by Lord George Hamilton 10
the judgment of the American ex-Secre-
tary of the Navy. Gladstone said: ~ do
not suppose General Tracy acquired such
knowledge that the whole Parliament has
TO defer TO the opinion he sent across the
Atlantic" The Globe says Gladsuone's
sneer was unprovoked and utterly un-
justified.
