&c to be, she had como into this room
to look through the chest, which had
been as interesting to her as to me,
and had accidentally left the letter
there. It was unsealed, and I stood
still, crushing back, with violent self

I took Q step toward the door, with In

footsteps coming.
She came in, anxiously, and found
me with the unsesled letter in my

"Here is your letter, Grace"

She had raised the envelope to hel

light dawning upon my uncertainty.
I hurried to her and caught her hands
in mine. She let me have them and
yielded tremblingly as I drew her over

Honorary Degrees.

: 1t is to be supposed, sin the Judg-
nent OF charity" at least, that coll
eye degrees are never conferred in
;hese days except as they are de-
served. This has not always been
, .rue, however, and partly tor this
'eason. partly, Ee.haps out of a feel
Ing OF modeSty, some men have
summed honorary titles almost as
earnestly as others have coveted
them. Speaking about this subject,
the Boston Watchman says:
Judge Peters is authority for the
statement that after Lafayette had
been made doctor OF laws by one of
Dur colleges, Baron Steuben was IN
great fear lest he should meet with
similar mishap Having TO pass
through college town where the
Marquis had been thus distinguished,
thus addressed them:
"You shall spur de horse veil, and
ride trOo de town like de mischief, for,
II dey catch you, dey make one doctor
Of you"
The tough o.d soldier had no more
respect for such a distinction than
hl, countryman, Handel, who refused
to cept the degree of doctor of
music from Oxford.
"\ at frow my money away for dat
de blockhedd's wish! l no want to
be Won Doctor"
There is story that long ago,
when college degrees we're scattered
somewhat .avishly, an illiterate rich
man having been honOred with de-
gree by college VIII ch he had laid
under obligations made wager that
he could obtain a similar honor for
his servant
He won the wager, and encouraged
by his success. made another that he
could obtain a degree for his horse
This time, however, he lost. The
college authorities got wind of his
game. and in answer to his letter rc-
questing doctorate for so and so,
the PRESIDENT wrote courteous note,
saying that though the trustees
we're very anxious to oblige so good

found on examination of the rec
Drds that though they had
once conferred a degree upon jack
ass there was no precedent for coa-
terring one upon a horse.

Ell. RENO, o. T., May 12.-Nat Sylvia
and Felix Young, members of the Dalton
gang, who were implicated in the Poud
Creek robberies of the Rock Island trait
some time ago were arrested here TINS
afternoon by United States Marshals Mad
SOD. Prater and -Eichhoff. The despera-
ices were in the city all day trading and
selling horses at public auction. When
their identity became known the streets
miraculously filed with armed marshals,
Watching for a supposedly good oppor-
tunity the marshals made an attempt to
arrest Young, who had become
separated from Sylvia. Young sprang
on his horse and dashed out
of the city, but was caught and brought
back. 4 running fire was kept up all the
time the CHASE was in progress. No one
was injured, however. Sylvia was cap
tured atthe depot.
During the chase after Young two gam
blers, Sim Jim Hathaway and Big Hand
Donaldson, attempted to assist the ban
dies in their escape. Hathaway fired at
one of the marsnals. but half a dozen
Winchesters were turned on him ana he
soon surrendered. A great many Strangers
were in town all day and II Is thought a
robbery was intended. United States
Marshal Madison and a heavy guard
started witt. the prisoners for the United
States Jail at Guthrie.
