WE TURNED OUT.
dictive flames had started In the house of
Mr.. T.. j. Halsey, the popular agent of
the lung testing and lifting machine seen
on our streets every day. In pulling off his
boots he knocked over lamp, and tho lu-
rid flames at once seized upon a curtain
and began to spread. The loss is some
where between 81 and SO, with no insur-
ance. 1t was narrow escape for the whole
town. Had there been q hurricane blow
ing, and had the flames got an hours start
and the fire engine been frozen up, the
next rising sun would have looked down
upon n scene of desolation to appall the
stoutest heart.
The genial and urbanc proprietor Of the
Eagle hotel yesterday informed us that
among the improvements contemplated at
his hostelry this spring will be the rcfur-
nishing of the dining room. He proposes
to paint tho ceiling sky blue, the walls a
vivid red and put in regular chairs with
backs to them. The oilcloth covers now
used on the tables will be replaced by linen,
a napkin placed at every plate, and no
knives or forks without handles will be
allowed in sight. The entire service Of tin
ware Is also to be replaced with crockery,
and the walters will be instructed to take
orders after the regular New York style.
Whatever is needed to make the Eagle q
first class caravansary will be carried out
without reference to cost, even to painting
the barroom in three colors and adding
two more tin basins to the Mushroom.

Appendicitis, the Latest Fad.

Have you got the new disorder
If you haven't, tits in order
To succumb to it at once without delay.
1t is called appendicitis.
Very diff'rent from gastritis
Or the common trash diseases of the day.
It creates happy rrolic,
Something like winter collie,
That has often Jared our inner organs

Only wrestles with the wealthy
And the otherwise most healthy.
Having got 1t, then you're nigh to kingdom

Midway down In your intestine,
Its interstices infestin,

Leading off to simply nowhere,
Catching all stray things that go there.

With the seed Of grape or apple.
On soldier button swallowed with your pie.
Having levied on these chattels.
Then begin internal battles 49,.
That are apt to end in mansions In the sky.
Once located, never doubt 1t,
You would never be without 1t.
It's a fad among society that's gay.
Old heart failure and paresis
Have decamped and gone to pieces,
And dyspepsia has fallen by the way. 81.
Then stand back there, diabetes,
For here comes appendicitis

Wolcott's Story.

Senator Wolcott of Colorado tells q story
of a man who while travelling in a parlor
car between Omaha and Denver fell asleep
and snored so loudly that every one in the
coach was seriously annoyed. Presently
an old gentleman approached the sleeper,
shook him and brought him out Of his
slumber with start.

''Why, your snoring is annoying every
one in the car, said the old gentleman

A Few Terse Items Showing the Progress
of the Age.
SOME HOME NEws.-It gives us unalloy-
ed pleasure to announce that Captain Joe
Davis, who ran his stomach against tho
hind feet of a mule one night about two
weeks ago and didn't recover his breath
for SO hours, is able to be about again and
has almost recovered his usual coltish de-
meanor. The captain thinks the mule
could have brought about the same result
with one hind foot and Is prone to criti-
else him for wasting SO much energy.
A tour among the architects last week
established the fact that this town is in
for a spring and summer boom. Thirteen
new saloons and one restaurant are sure
to be erected, and thero is n strong proba-
bility that parties from Denver will erect
public rink in which dog fights and box
ing matches can DO pulled off with every
body holding down q reserved seat. No
financial panic or public want Of conf
dence can keep this town on her back very
long
Among the society events of last week
was the high tea given by Mrs Colonel
Baxter Of Cochise place, followed in the
evening by a progressive euchre party.
The tea used was u mixture Of green and
black and cost 55 cents per pound. Among
the articles OF virtu In tho drawing room
we noticed n bust Of Shakespeare, the scalp
Of an Apache Indian, a chrome from Chi
oago and cuckoo clock. 1t is needless to
add that tho affair as a whole was an un-
qualified success. Mrs. Baxter had five
years experience behind q soda fountain
in Chicago and knows exactly how C,ese
recherche affairs should BIO pulled off.
One Of the cowboys from the . ly 4
ranch was in town yesterday after some
soap and casually mentioned the fact that
they had just hung another man over
there. We made an effort to secure particu-
lars, but mono were to be had. They found
him driving off stock and hung and buried
him. He probably had a name, but they

CHAPTER XXI.

This caps the climax of villainy, but
see Hawkins in it all, Mr.. Hildreth
said when few minutes rapid speech
had made him master Of the facts.
How did you happen to come thus in
the nick Of timer" Major Overton ask
ed. Dare had risen, but stood with eyes
still fast on the dead mans face.
ASK those two, Hildreth said, with
shrug, pointing to Vance and Allen
Fauntleroy "All 1 know is that they
came upon me like q whirlwind about
dark, had me sworn special deputy, had
posse all ready for me and then rode
either side of me, telling me: Go fast!
Go fastr We went first to Ridgeley. It
seems they had got an inkling of what
your danger was. There we found our
selves three hours too late, but with a
plain trail to follow, which, thank God,
we did not lose. But tell you it was
rough experience, pushing through these
hills, this tangle, and never knowing
but tho next hollow might lead you into
ambush. Our beasts are so blown that,
little as l like the place, think we
must stay here till morning. Luckily
that is not far off. 1t must be o'clock
now"
Later, said Vance but, Fauntle-
roy, why don't you speak? Major, it is
all his doing. He has been watching
your enemies, and as soon as they were
ready for this grand coup he was ready
with checkmate for it, ~
81 thank him deeply" the old man
said, with his stateliest courtesy. Dare
went impulsively forward, saying, with
quivering lips:
"Oh, Mr.. Fauntlcroyl hope you will
never know how it feels to be snatched
from the very jaws of DEATH
81 did nothing, Allen said. Then in
a low whisper: Dare, envy that dead
man. Whatever his sins, he truly died
for you.
Hear the wind, the thunder! This
is a storm to remember" Vance said,
with shiver. Suppose we were out in
it on those black hills again!"
Nobody answered him. The room, lit
here and there by a smoky glimmer Of
lanterns, was weirdly spectral. In their
light the dead mans face seemed to mop
and NOW as though the soul had come
back and sat there knocking it's fellows.

ESPECIAL TO OUR LADY READERS

Dear Mrs. Pinkham, - Last winter
did not think my little ones would have
mother long. I suffered terribly with
female troubles.
1 could keep nothing on my stomach,
and got so "poor" my friends hardly
knew me. I suffered with severe head
aches, dizziness, faintness, backache, and
the blues.
Thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound, am now as fat as ever,
and have no female troubles.
If you use my letter hope it may be
the means of saving some other poor
mothers life as it did mine. - MRS. ELLA

hope God will forgive me at the last

A thunderous knocking fell on the
