to swing in over the trough. In the

on the outside of the bottom board of

WILD COSSACK RIDERS.

Two Americans Saw Them Break Winter
Camp in Turkestan.
MesSrS. Allen and Sachtleben, who
went around the world on bicycles,
give the following account of one of
their experiences in Turkestan:
One of the chief incidents of our
pleasant sojourn was afforded by Gov
Ivanoff We were invited to head the
procession of the Cossacks on their an
nual departure for their summer en-
campmcnt in the mountains. After the
usual religious ceremony, they filed
out from the city parade ground. Be
ing unavoidably detained for few
moments we did not come up until
some time after the column had
started. As we dashed by to the front
with the American and Russian flags
fluttering side by side from the handle
bars, cheer after cheer arose from the
ranks, and even the governor and his
party doffed their caps in acknowledge
ment. At the camp we were favored
with a special exhibition of horseman-
ship. BY single twist of the reins the
steeds would fall to the ground, and
their riders crouch down behind them
as a bulwarlz in battle. Then dashinp
forward at full speed, they would
spring to the ground, and leap back
again into the saddle, or, hanging bv
their legs, would reach over and pick
up a handkerchief, cap. or soldier

movements we photographed with our
camera. Of the endurance of these

had practical test. Overtakine a

CHAPTER xI11-Contlnued.

The sun shining into her room awoke
her. Her first thought was of Sir
Bertram. The incidents of the day
before seemed like distant, half-be-
wildered dream. Was it all true? All,
yes! There were the daphnes, there,
too, in her heart was the same strange,
sweet music that bewildered while it
delighted her. The world seemed SO
fair that morning; the sun was brighter
than it had ever been. Lady Fanshawe
looked in wonder at the lovely young
face that greeted her with such q
kindly, happy smile.
Where are you going to-day,
auntie?" she asked, as they sat down
to the luxurious breakfast table.
"Have you forgotten, Leonie' The
carriage is ordered for two. We are
going to Lady Seagrove's fete at CHS
wick"
Again the young Countess first
thought was wonder as to whether
Sir Bertram would be there. She
would have liked to ask Lady Fam
shave If 1t was probable, but she could
not utter his name.
@The Duchess is sure to be there,
continued Lady Fanshawe, @and Lord
Falcon, too. should not be surprised,
Leonie, if you were married in your

II should" she replied, with a gay
little laugh. "Ah, auntie, when the
world is SO bright, why spoil it by
speaking of such serious things?"
slider that love and marriage spoil the
beauty of the world" observed Lady
Fanshawe. Now tell Florette that
you must excel yourself to-day. Many

democratic Hatred OF "Old Glory"
Thus far there have been four dis
tinct flag episodes in the official life of
Grover Cleveland as President of the
United States, and all of them have
been shameful. Two occurred during
his first term, and two have Aisgraced
him since his second inauguration last
March. Nobody has forgotten how
the stars and stripes were lowered to
half fmast on the Interior Department
Building during Cleveland's first ad-
mintstration as mark Of sorrow at
the death Of Jacob Thompson, the ex-
rebel who had tried to introduce small

rebellion. That incident created q
storm of indignation in the North,
but q greater tempest of wrath was
aroused soon afterward by the order
Of Adjutant General Drum, which
Cleveland approved, returning the
rebel dags captured on the battlefields
Of the rebellion to the Southern
States. The opening of the second
Cleveland administration was signal

They Have Had Enough.

The profound silence of our esteemed
Democratic contemporaries since the
last batch OF Hawaiian correspondence
came in is profound to the point of
sadness. They have had enough. They
are satisfied. They wish for no more
news from Hawaii. They hunger for
no more remarks from Liliuokalani.
They have heard all they desire from
Blount and Willis and Gresham. They
are willing to drop Mr.. Cleveland 8
Hawaiian policy and take any other
subject under the sun. They wish that
the 1000 miles which separates North
America from the Sandwich islands
were 10000 miles.
Liliuokalani was a good Democrat,
in that she believed in turning the
rascals out" But she believed the
Democratic dictum tco hard. She be-
lieved in beheading the rascals first
and contiscating their property to her
own uses, and turning them out after
ward. She believed not only in the
Democratic doctrine about kicking the
other fellows out, but she accepted
most heartily that other article of
Democratic faith-to the victors be-
long the spoils. Among these spoils
she included the property and heads
of her opponents. She especially dotted
on heads. When she went after
political scalps she did it literally, not
