@Danger to us?"

Inez looked distressed
eve dare not return to the main
canyon, and We will be found if he and
his men come this way"
"What shall we do?"
Darrell surveyed their situation criti-
cally.
He observed that across the little
stream the canyon seemed to afford o
large number Of secure hiding-places.
Beyond the quicksands yonder we
might cross the river" he said.

mo; the river will be blrrier."
"And he may think we have perished
In the quicksands.
sYes; we can at least conceal our
selves for time"
They traversed the ledge to the verge
of the stream. It was shallow at one
place, and lifting the girl in his arms
Darrell forded it in safety.
Just as they reached the opposite
shore an ominous shout echoed down the
valley.
u ~Do you hear that?" asked Inez in a
terrified tone.
Eyes"
I ut Is Despard and his men,"
@Probably. We will 60 farther down
the stream. Seel there seems to be
some kind of cave yonder."
A few minutes later they reached a
large cavern-like aperture in the rocks
Here they stood silently for some
minutes, watching the stream and the
quicksands beyond and awaiting devel-
opments
They came few minutes later. Sud-
denly, some distance away, several forms
came into view.
aDespard and his men," murmured
Darrell. r. '' |r"
~They will discover US"
mo. Retreat into the cave where
they will not sec you"
Inez did so and Darrell, observing that
the outlaws were nearing the spot, fol-
lowed her.
The cave seemed. to have been occu-
pied by some human being at some time,
for it bore marks of habitation in the
ashes of ire and several broken Indian
arrows.
Darrell looked back from its shadows
toward the quicksands.
He could observe the outlaws without
being seen, and saw them pause as they
reached the quicksands
Despard seemed to converse in an
ominous manner with his associates.
Then the quartette retreated from the
spot Darrell bresthed easier.
ave are safe" he spoke to Inez
undiscovered; supposed to be engulfed
in the Quicksands.
A sudden cry Of alarm from Inez in
terrupted him.
I'VE are lcst!" she cried, wildly.
Darrell Grey turned to face new and
terrible peril G.owering upon them
with ravenous, fiery eyes, there ap-
peared at tho entrance Of the cave three
enormous panthers.

For some time past 1t has been a bit Of
congressional and journalistic pleasantly
to refer to legislators who swear by Mr..
Cleveland as "cuckoos." The satirical ap-
pellation was first applied to anti-silver
administration Senators by Senator Nor
gan, who. in the course Of warm debate,
established fanciful connection between
the presidential clock at the White House
and imitation cuckoos at me Capitol. who
sounded the. hour when the controlling
mechanism demanded more or less mellifu-
Gus. annunciation. Among the members of
Congress who have had this pathological
distinction thrust upon them recently is
Representative Charles Tracey Of Albany.
Yesterday he warmly resented Mr.. Bou-
telle's reference to the clock at the Execu-
tive Mansion. and Is accredited with say
ing that he would slap the face Of the
next man who alluded to him as cuckoo"
Let us hope that this bold declaration will
not at any time bring Mr.. Tracey face to
face with Representative Michael Joseph
McEttrick Of Boston, who. 30 Mr.. McEt-
trick says. during his long athletic career
never met with q defeat" or with him who
is more terrible than an army with ban
ners''-Constantine Buckley Kilgore Of

There is a wealth Of suggestion in this hap

only required to remain in the Govern
ment Printing ONCE for an hour or two
while the presses and other machinery
were being operated there would be in
Simultaneous appropriation of the money
needed for a new structure. Similar action
might be looked for were Congress to
wander through the extremely unsuitable
and uncomfortable building in which the
District Commissioners and many other
local officials have their offices. 1t is an
indirect way in which to secure reform.

A big City.
From the Boston Globe.

FROM The BOSTON GIObe.
The people of Washington are rather
astonished to hear that the new directory
of their city, which is soon to appear will
contain 1900 mere names than the one
issued a year ago. Thus they are able to
claim that the population of the city Is
now 335,OO. There is every reason to be-
lieve that by 1900 more than 4OO,OOO per-
sens will be residents of the District of
Columbia When the cities of Washington
and baltimore are connected by several
lines of electric railway. making the time
between the cities only half an hour Qt
is only forty-fve minutes now, they will
become practically one city. and Chicago
will have to grow pretty fast TO keep up
with them.

Good Words for the Cuckoo,

From the New York Sun.
The Hon. Charles Tracey seems to have
shown an unreasonable amount Of resent
ment yesterday at being called a cuckoo
by implication and innuendo. by the Hon
Charles A. Boutelle. A cuckoo is in many
respects a remarkable bird. He il connected
with freshness and the spring He is ento-
biological in his diet. His singular pru.
dence in the matter Of house rent has made
him famous. His voice, though not various
may be depended upon. He takes to the
woods with great regularity. He flies be-
fore the hawk and other snappers. He is
doubtless bird Of merit. in his peculiar
implied comparison between himself and a
bird so distinguished In song and story and
ornithology? Why will he be SO unjust, not
to say disrespectful to this simple child O!

Success Would He Crime.

From the Chicago Times tdem.).
The net effect of the presidential policy
of concealment will be to awaken very gem
eral suspicion that the administration has
sustained a very serious blow in Homo
lulu, and desires to keep the fact secret
until 1t can prepare an explanation and a
remodelled policy. There are many ways
in which action in Honolulu might serious
ly affect the Cleveland following Perhaps
the most disastrous thing would be the COM
plete success of the Cleveland policy, for
news of the reinstatement Of the queen, the
return to power of her British favorites.
the reinstatement In line of succession of
the half-breed princess. with her British
guardian. would be to many Americans It'd

Congressman johnson has come to the
front vigorously in favor of the radical
tarin doctrine which he supports with un-
questioned sincerity. He says that he pre-
fers the Wilson bill to nothing. but in his
zeal interposes one Of the most serious OBJ
stacies to 1t that have yet appeared. The
loss of time upon which he comments SO
bitterly could not fail to be Increased IL
there should be rally around his stand

nothing. There is scarcely anything which
would assist more materially in the per-
petuation OF existing conditions than the

Mr.. Cleveland has shown thai he has a
stiff back, and he thinks that his country
men admire II, and II Is quite possible that
in the long run he may show himself as
resolute and determined In his Hawaiian
policy as he was upon the silver question.
II anything could make a retreat harder
than his own emphatic assurances that the
provisional government Is in the wrong, II
would be the circumstance that the mem
bers Of that government openly dehed him.
London Times.
Mr.. Cleveland's good Intentions will not
avail unless he Is prepared to forcibly dis
possess the conspirators who gained power
by the Legitimate use Of the United States
fag"-London Morning Post.
Great Britain is evidently disposed to hold
Mr.. Cleveland to the alliance, and shows
symptoms Of evaporation at the possibility
that he may disentangle himself. The En-
glish newspapers intimate that tn. stiffness
of Mr.. Cleveland's backbone il In question.
sndeavor to inname his prejudice against
the provisional government by haunting
him with a reminder that this government
respectfully declined his polite invitation to
commit suicide and in every way that in
gsnuity suggests they are egging on the
President to aid even with force the En-
glish program of destroying American in
fuence and interests In Hawaii.
A majority of the American people were
back of the President in the silver fight.
They admired and commended the stiffness
of his backbone in this struggle for a good
and popular cause. A majority of the
American people are back Of the President
IN his policy of conservatively lowering the
height Of our tariff wall, and in his oppo-
sition to the Individual income tax. He can
not be too stiff-backed in these causes to
suit the public. But in his un-American
