A DEADLY RIOT GUN.
1t Carries Six Cartridges Loaded With
Twelve Buckshot Each.


The riot gun" with which United
States Marshal Arnold has armed his
posse of 200 deputies in Chicago is
really 4 cross between the gatling gun
and the French mitrailleuse. 1t may
be defined as a repeating shotgun,
but is the most powerful hand arm
ever loaded with powder and shot.
The weapon is of larger bore than
the average army rifle, but weighs
less. Its magazine has room for six
twelve-caliber cartridges. Each car
fridge contains three and half drams
of powder and twelve buckShot Be-
tween the shot and the powder are
two one-eighth-inch compressed paper
wads The shell of the cartridge is of
paper, backed by rim of brass It's
outward appearance is very much
like that of the ordinary shell, but
its surface is thicker and much
stronger. The six cartridges may be
fired in half as many seconds, thus
throwing seyenty-two scattering bull
lets, any of which would infiict seri-
Gus wound at eighty yards distance.
The magazine may be reloaded easily
within half a minute. 1t is calculated
that with the shot of each cartridge
scattering as it is discharged, the gun.
in the hands of fairly accurate shot,
is capable Of disabling 100 men to the
minute. Marshal Arnold says that
five men armed with these weapons
and fairly protected could easily dis
pose of mob of $4,000 rioters.
The gun is the product of the Win
chester Repeating Arms company.
The latest pattern has been on the
market for few months only. 1t is
operated by sliding forearm placed
beneath the barrel, making the gun
easy of manipulation from the Shout
der. The gun is locked by the back
ward or closing motion of the fore
arm. and can be unlocked only by
pushing forward the firing pin, which
may be done either by the hammer
or by the finger. When the hammer
is down the backward and forward
motion of the sliding forearm unlocks
and opens the breeh lock, elects the
cartridge or exploded she'll and le-
places it with a fresh cartridge. The
construction of the arm is such that
the hammer can not fall on the firing
! pin or strike the cartridge until the
breech-hlock Is in place and locked
fast. When the gun is closing and
the hammer Is at half-cock, 1t is
locked both against opening and pull
Ing the trigger, and when the hammer
is at the full-cock notch the gun is
locked against opening. To load the
magzine the gun. closed, must be
/ turned so that the under surface OF
the earrier-block can be seen. Upon
this the cartridge is laid and pushed
| directly into the magazine.
The standard gun is made up with
a rolled steel barrel. with smooth bore
and blued frame. The pistol ripped
\ stock is of plain or checked wood The
/ gun Is, as a rule. full-choked. The
length Of the barrel IS 80 to 60 inches.
the stock 13. inches III length, with
"a inches drop, Unioaded. the gun
weighs a trifle over 10 pounds: the
cartridges weight about ounces.

CHAPTER X.

There's "A letter from Severn, Ellen;
he's back, and coming to see us this
afternoon. Some Australian, a Mr..
Wray, | read it's with him, and he
wants to bring him too, il 1 am well
enough TO receive 4 stranger"
And are you well enough?" asked
the GIRL bending over the flowers she
was arranging to hide what she knew
was written on her face in scarlet.
Il am about the same as usual; but
a talk with some one from the old
country will never harm me. 1t will
be like a breath of Australian air,
keen but exhilarating-not like this
cold dampness that Is beginning now"
II wish you would 90 back to Aus
tralia.'
Why? Would you 60 too"
That is impossible, you know; and
oh''-wth a slight shiyer-"I have no
desire to return. With you it is dir
ferent. you are homesick, and the
climate suited you; it pains me ter
ribly to know that you are staying
mere Only on my dcCouuA+
II was i'll there too; besides, after
all, this is my native country"
She looked at him sorrowfuily, but
said no more, having urged it on him
so often but without success.
The little sitting-room looked its best
when Mr.. Bowyer entered about four
o'clock, having been to his room to
lie down for an hour or so.
He glanced round approvingly.
How cosy it is: and little fire is
very acceptable, though the month is
October! 1t is wonderful how lux
uriant the flowers are still. Where
did you get all these?g
"A basket came from the Abbey as
usual, and come from our own gar
den"
And You actually found it in your
heart to pick them!'
He spoke rallyingly, for he knew
her love for flowers, and that she
never willingly gathered one.
She was looking very bright, very
beautiful. he thought. Some. inward
excitement had brougM a color to her
cheeks and wondrous light into her
eyes. But the gown she was wear
ing was certainly not Il gala one. II
was the same that she wore every
day--a black yelveteen with Grape
upon it, grown brown and rusty-look
ing from wear.
Have you no nicer frock?" he asked
her. Don't you think you might
cease to wear such deep mourning
1t will excite remark"
~ shall never wear anything but
black l think" she answered, grayely
then, conscious of the depressing eff.
feet Of her speech, she took some
Marechal Mel buds from a vase and
pinned them in the lace at her throat
Does that look better Mr., BowyerT
Mr.. Bower muttered something I'M
Ineligible which she guessed to be
complimentary from its tone; and 9
mirror that hung opposite set any
doubt she might still have had at rest
Voices were heard outside; the neNt
moment Colonel Severn entered: and
having greeted Mr.. Bower warmly
and Ellen with an involuntary EN-
pressement Of which she could not but
be conscious, he turned to indicate hi
friend.
"ATr. Weare-a countryman Of
yours" A momentary pause. during
which Mr.. Bowyer was wondering
where he had seen before the dark
good-looking face and tall slight figure

wildly; and / must insist upon ysur
resting now. No, no-don't say any
thing more; declare will nol listen.
Lie back and close your eyes, or
won't answer for the consequences"
Whine all this took place below.
Ellen was kneeling beside the open
window of her room up stairs.
The fresh autumn air swept In and
lifted her short curls, cooling her hot
face as she opened the letter that had
come at last. Its first perusal disap-
pointed her a little-without reason
she confessed, with self-upbraiding-
for why should she have expected
more from him, or as much? 1t was q
kindly letter, and. a friendly one.
MY Dear Miss Warde: Your note
was forwarded to me only this morn
ing, and | hasten to assure you that
you have nothing to fear from me.
Anything you have ever told me !

This time she read between the
lines, and was conscious of an under.
current Of tenderness that sent the
blood eoursing through her veins and
made her eyelids droop, though none
could see what her eyes might have
betrayed.
