again. With that he pushed out to
the front while the others listened ex-
pectant. A moment later match was
struck, and presently burned brightly
in the black and breathless night.
Then came the startled cry:
my God, lieutenant, it's Corporal
Donovan and his horse-both dead
And even there MI. Drummond noted
that Bland was about the first of the
column to come hurrying forward to
the scene.
Ten minutes investigation threw but
little light upon the tragedy. Some
stumps of candles were found in the
saddlebags and packs, and with these
the men secured the plain for signs.
Spreading well out from the center,
they closely examined the sandy level.
From the north came the trail of two
cavalry horses, shod alike, both at the
lope, both draggy and weary. From
the point where lay Donovan and his
steed there was but one horse track.
Whirling sharply around, the rider had
sent his mount at laundering gallop
back across the valley; then 100 yards
away, in long curve, he had reined him
to the southeast. The troopers who
followed the hoof marks out about an
eighth Of a mile declared that, un-
wounded, both horse and rider were
making the best Of their way toward
Moreno's ranch. Farther search, not
so yards to the front, revealed the fact
that at the edge Of little depression
and behind some cactus bushes three
human forms had been lying prone,
ano from this point probably had sped
the deadly bullet.
''Apaches, by God.'' muttered one
of the men.
.'Apaches, your grandmother" was
the sergeant's fierce reply. ''Will you
never learn sense, Moore? When did
Apaches take to wearing store clothes
and heeled boots: There's no Apache
in this, lieutenant Look here, sir, and
here. Move out farther, some Of you
fellows, and see where they hid their
horses. Corporal Donovan was with
c troop down the Gila last week, sir.
They were to meet and escort the pay
master most like. It's my belief he
was one of the guard and that the am
pulance has been jumped this very
night. These are road agents, not
Apaches, and God knows what's hap
pened if they've got away with Patsy.
Sure he was one Of the nerviest men in
the whole troop, sir.
Drummond listened, every nerve
a-tingle, even while with hurried hands
he cut open the shirt at the brawny
throat and felt for futtering heart beat
or faintest sign of life. Useless. The
shot hole under the left eye told
plainly that the leaden missile had
torn It's way through the brain and
that death must have been instan-
taneous. The soldiers arms and &C
couterments, the horses equipments,
were gone. The bodies lay unmuti-
lated. The story was plain. Separated
in some way from the detachment, Don
ovan and his companion had probably
sighted the signal blazing at the pass
and come riding hard to reach the spot,
when the unseen foe crouching across

And so while the seniors among the
sergeants were becoming gradually the
associates, if not the intimates, Of this
fine looking trooper, the mass OF the
regiment, or rather the little detach-
ment thereof stationed at Lowell, looked
upon Bland with the eye of suspicion.
There was one sergeant who repudiated
him entirely, and who openly professed
his disbelief in Bland's account Of
himself, and that was Feeny. He
may have testimonials from all Texas, %
said he hotly, but I've no use for that
sort of credentials. Who can vouch
for his goings and comings hereabouts

Press Association:
when an administration is defeat
ed at the middle term elections, as it
nearly always is-there have been but
two exceptions in so years-there is
always a great cry that its policy has
been condemned by the people and a
prophecy that said policy will be
changed, but the Oldest politician can
not remember case when the proph-
ecy was fulfilled. The party in power
invariably goes straight on, and if it
changes at all it is only to become a
little more aggressive. Its leaders al

pie and reason like that sinner in the
old story who was up a tree when

a big freshet anyhow AS Lincoln
grew more radical after losing the
close states in 1862 and Grant more

GREAT R. R. PROJECT
= a. -gAs &
Connecting New York With San
@FranSiscO, s@
Napoleon on the Routel

We are allowed to reproduce the
following letter, through the kindness
Of r. w. Cahill:
ATLANTIC & PACIFIC RY. Cox. Co..
325 Western Union Building,
CHICAGO, Sept. II, 1s94.)
For the past four years, the Allan
tic & Pacific Railway Construction
Company of Chicago, Illinois, has
been preparing for the construction
of a double track air line railway
from New York to San Francisco.
The great highway, as now survey
ed between New York and Chicago,
will shorten the distance 200 miles
over all other railroads, while the dis
tance between Chicago and San Fran
cisco will be shortened over 400 miles.
The projectors have contemplated
from the very inception OF the enter
prise the making it an integral part
of the Government. A bill is now be-
ing prepared to be presented to our
National Congress, atits next winters s
session, placing the entire enterprise
under the supervision of the Govern
ment for its endorsement of the bonds
of the road.
All traffic over it shall be at a cost
of interest and running expenses,
while greatest speed, saving of time,
and modern comforts may be accord
ed to the people at a minimum fare
and cost.
The line from New York to San
Francisco (2700 miles) will cost $780,
100000. If the road is built by an in
dependent corporation the securities
will bear interest at per cent, and
are contracted for in Europe at 90per
cent of their face value. With our
Governments endorsement of the
bonds at 3 per cent, for which the
Syndicate have contracted, we will
save not only the 10 per cent OF their
face value, selling them at par instead
of 80 cents, but we shall also save
annually 2 per cent in interest, max
ing a saving annually of $8,000,0 900
from New York to San Francisco.
The interest on the bonds for the first
division, from New York to Chicago,
being SO, 100000 annually, will be a
small sum for our Government to
guarantee, and will convince the whole
nation that the enterprise, from ocean
to ocean, will be a complete success.
The interest on the entire line across
the continent will be $4,000, 600
annually, and will be but a small con-
sideration for the advantages accru-
ing to the Government in the one in
stance of mail service.
1t will be the one grand, economic
al event of the close of the Nineteenth
century.
The actual construction of the line
will be commenced in all the states
between New York and Chicago by
the middle of next year, and will be
completed and in operation in the
year 1900.
The success of the enterprise from
New York to Chicago being assured,
the reception of the bill at our com
ing session of congress, already sane
toned by some of our ablest and most
Conservative representatives and sena-
tors, will receive the attention of all
interested in the building of the road
from Chicago to San Francisco

The new tariff is worrying the life
out of the protectionists. They are
very much astonished at the way it
works, and it takes lots of Republican
ingenuity to explain things. Wool
going up, and sugar going down, the
lumber business prospering, and in
creasing, new tin mills being erected,
cotton and woolen mills running on
full time, some of them night and
day, and more being built, capital
hunting for investment with a con-
fident feeling of returning prosperity.
All this is little too much for our
Republican friends. They can't ex-
plain it, and what is worse they can't
stand it,

In snowy white. the sweet blue eyes are closed for
ever on earth. the sunny hair has been smoothtd
for the last time; the wee hands are folded over
the baby heart now silent in death, the little feet
are placed side by side in the tiny eon the coffin
lid has been raised for the last look, parents and
friends gather round and with mourRful admira-
ton, gaze on the lovely features OF the dead babe
and now the lid is closed the little easket is low
cred into the silent grave, fresh earth is heaped
over baby and sweet darling win rest until the
resurrection morn. The parents return to their
desolate home, desoate indeed since baby is gone
1t is true she has gone Home to God--safe over
the river the little feet can never 90 astrAy, but
led BY the gentle Sheperd who has said: ''suffer
aud forbid them not, /" she roams by the rivers of
life, safe, safe forever, among the angels.
Bereaved hearts, think not OF the little form
lying In the grave, but think. though the casket
lies beneath the sod, the jewel has returned to
God. Dear father and mother, think not Of the
empty cradle, the little baby crib but think OF the
precious treasure you have in Heaven think of
the time when you may go to her though she msy
never more come to you, Father and mother, If
you have no interest 10 this hope, desolate indeed
must be your heart, but let the voice of your de-
parted babe call you to seek through Jesus, a
"Manson prepared for you" in her own glorious
home.
As she came forth like flower and was cut
down, the lamp of life went out in childhood and
she entered the Gates Ajar, and thus another
jewel has been set in Heaven. God gra ut that the
friends as they approach the banks of the rivers
may be able to brush the mist from their brows in
safety and hail her in the "Sweut by and by
Another treasure God has taken.

Those beaming eyes we long to see,
Now shine on the golden shore.
The cooiRg OF her voice has ceased,
Dear daughter is laid to rest;
Her little hands now icy cod
Are folded on her breast
Her little clothes are empty now,
We look, but all in vain,
To see our baby face once more,
But she ne 'er return again.
She has gone to a home more than this,
With God she rests On High;
If we obey His Holy Will,
We can see her "by and by.n -

Who Owns the Wedding Presents?

1t is now decided that the wife is
entitled to own all the wedding pres
ents, including the suspenders, collar
buttons and neckties, provided she
can prove she was the drawing card
at the marriage ceremony. This is
the latest victory for the end-of-the
century woman. 1t practically makes
her sole owner of the pictures on the
wall and chairs about the tables the
motto over the door and pickle dishes
in the cupboard. The brass bed, the
album in the spare room, the per-
fumery bottles and the pin-cushions
are hers and go with her when she
wearies of the excitement of the
household and election and decides to
return to the delight of her bachelor
hood.
This important ruling was made by
a Chicago court in a divorce case, as
the judge pulled down his spectacles
and gazed solemnly over a pile of
presents that completely covered the
bar of justice and formed a fortress
between him and the two people who
wanted the accumulations of ten
years divided according to the stat
utes. The justice was grieved that all
the trinkets of tender memory and
no value in an inventory should thus
be lugged into court, and, with the
wisdom of Solomon, who wanted to
divide the baby between the contest
ing mothers, he pleaded with the
litigants to take half and half. The
wife refused, claiming she had a right
to nearly all the list in evidence, and
her lawyer sustained her contention.
This decision will settle long
mooted question. Most men possess
ed the idea that they had at least
an equal share in the presents receiv-
ed at the wedding but with judicial
decision 70 the contrary the husbands
will be trifle more respectful to
