grufay.
The sergeant went into the room
where Miss Fitz Hugh was confined and
led her out, pale and wondering.
1T isn't SUNRISE, - she said in a voice
which it was difficult for her to keep
from breaking
Come, =" said the colonel. She fol-
lowed him to the porch, and Corporal
Ratigan Joined them, but it was too
dark for the prisoner to sec who he was,
and he did not dare to make himself
known. As soon as they had got to q
safe distance he whispered:
''Darlinl''
''Rats!'
''Not a word till we get further
away"
They walked on at an ordinary pace,
though all desired to hasten. After pass
ing some distance from the house May
nard turned and glanced back. He saw
the sergeant watching:
"We must 60 to the tent" he NUT
tered, and the three walked on. Before
entering he looked again. The sergeant
was still watching. He evidently wish
ed to make sure that all was right. All
entered the tent, while the colonel,
standing at the front and peering be-
tween the tent flaps, watched for the
sergeant to 60 back into the house. Pres
emily he did so and left the way clear
CHOW come on.''
Leaving the tent, they walked short
distance down the road. Not word
was spoken. Presently they turned aside
and entered the wood. There they found
the horses.

prisoner.
Putting foot in his hand, she sprang
up on to q horses back. There was no
sidesaddle for her, but the high front of
a Mcclellan" served very we'll, and
she was so good horsewoman that she
could have ridden sideways on the ami
mails bare back. The stirrup was fitted,
the colonel and Ratigan mounted, and
the three rode rapidly away.
"We must dodge the picket" said the
colonel. Even the countersign might
not avail US with a woman in the
party"
''What does it all mean, Rats?" ask
ed Miss Fitz Hugh. II thought you
were going to do your duty at all haz-
ards"
''Well, there's different kinds of du-
ties, and sometimes they won't work
together. If savin woman's life isn't
a duty, then me mother didn't bring me
up right
"Who's the other?" she asked while
Maynard was riding little in advance.
Zone who this night makes me his
slave
''And I from this night will be in
debted for my life to both of you if you
succeed in saving it. But can't bear
to have you sacrifice yourselves for me.
You may be committing an unpardon-
able sin toward your comrades, but I
cannot believe you are committing sin
toward our Father. And one day it will
be all ended, Rats, and then who will
care?"
'Oi know those who will rejoice -
Ratigan now took the lead, having
passed over the route before several
times and being familiar with the best
way to get between the vedettes. Colo

In answer to a call to advance Ratigan
rode forward and found vedette. who
had mistaken them for an enemy. On
making themselves known they were
suffered to pass on, and Maynard, feel
ing that he was too incautious to lead,
gave way to Ratigan. They proceeded
on their way with more caution and
passed through gap in the ridge lead

The good footing of the road enabled

N the wear 1868, Mr.. J. r. Watkins first began
the manufacture of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
wears he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despalr-
ing of success, but at last established living,
paving business, and made the name ''Dr. Ward's"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake to despoil him OF his BUS
mess and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
ssiust as good as DR.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his BUSH
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
world-wid right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered In the U. 5. Patent Office

NOT A KANSAS DROUra.

There is still no rain in Illinois, In
diana and western Ohio. The report
is that all vegetation which survived
the late frosts Is being dried up, and
that even the pastures are brown as in
widwinter. The last general rain in
that section was in February. Stock
water is growing very scarce. The
authorities at indianapolis have given
| notice that there will be no water for
sprinkling streets or lawns if the drouth
continues ten days longer. Wheat
and oats, it is said, will hardly be worth
harvesting. Corn is packard and
promises nothing without rain, and
| that soon. Fruits and vegetables We're
badly damaged by the frost. Farmers,
gardeners and fruit growers are dis
couraged, by still harp upon ''drouth-
stricken Kansas" We could feel more
sympathy for our famine stricken
neighborS if they would recognize the
truth in these matters. Any candid
man will acknowledge that drouths oc-
cur in all states. 1t detracts nothing
from such calamity to magnify the
same ills elsewhere. Any unpreju-
diced visitor from these states might
now see for himself as fine prospect
for corn in the Arkansas river valley
as could be desired. Our wheat will
be almost a failure, but if the wheat
land, planted in corn, yields even an
average crop it will be money in the
pockets OF the farmer. Corn makes
beef, pork and bread. Meats are
now the dearest thing in market, and
are likely to be so for some time.
There is much to encourage the Kansas
farmer who has a growing crop OF
corn. Short crops elsewhere mean
better prices for their product A
large section which usually produces
surplus, owing to the drouth, will be
buyers this year. Kansas will have
the surplus to supply them.' 1t will
be exchanged for good silver dollars
good because the government makes
them so. What the whole country |
needs is more dollars Of the same kind;
more grain, more meat more business |

THE POOR ARMENIAN.

Will the sick man Of the Bosphorus
! never die, or is he on his last legs even
| now. The mutual jealOusies and sus-
picions of the other European powers
have kept the life in a government that
should have expired at least a century
ago. For hundred years at short in
tervals, in face Of the pretended pro-
tests of the civilized powers, Christians
have been regularly butchered, and
now comes the rejection Of the joint
proposal Of Great Britain, Russia and
France in behalf Of the ArmenianS.
Only a united front can save the peo-
pie from the wrongs Of the sultan's
murderOus subjects. In the mutations
of years and of government policies it
would seem that the time might be
found in which Turkey couId be erased
from the map of the world. Better
that Russia should have reigned for
all these years at Constanunople than
the dirty, treacherous Turk. Russo
phobia has long ceased to be deter
mining factor in British policy, and
British and Muscovite statesmen may
no longer find it impossible to agree
upon method Of readjusting the af-
fairs of the Ottoman empire, even to
the extent Of the elimination of the
''unspeakable Turk as q FACTOR in
the problem. The fanatical intriguers
and Adventures who have gained the
favor and guide the policy of Abdul
Hamid may presently discover that
the preservation Of the integrity of
the dominion of the sultan is no longer
considered essential by any of the
powers interested in the settlement of
the Eastern question.
1t would seem as though the time for
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Turkey were
not far off. The sultan, an eSuma-
BILE and well-meaning person, it is
said, is unable to reform his admins
tration. Nominally despot he really
is but puppet in the hands Of Oriental
fanatics and adventures.
Today the Turkish peasantry are the
most oppressed, the Turkish taxes the
most grievous, the Turkish tyranny
the most odious, the Turkish fanatic
ism the most cruel by which any hui
man being having semblance Of civil
ization are afflicted. Turkey is the

TIE KANSAS SILVER CONVENTION.

The sting of the party lash, which
causes many brave man to cringe
sets the time-seryer to apologizing OF
puts him on the run. The party lash
as a rule, is welded by the servile too
| or by the servant OF some interest
| rather than by the real leader Cleve
lands removal of men for adverse
criticism Of his administration is the
exception. That kind of thing is or
| dinarily left to under-bosseS.
A non-partiSan monetary conference
has been called to meet in Topeka on
| the 18th Of this month. While the
silver question is not party question
| in any sense as yet, there are those
! who live and thrive by party service
who very much fear that it may become
one. 1t appears that a few prominent
Republicans Of the state who believe
that the silver question is at least a
political question of great moment, in
yolring the welfare of this country,
ent and participate in the conference,
not as partisans but as citizens. This
proposed action is being criticized and
derided by a number Of Republican
party papers. The effort made by
them and the end sought to be gained
is plain on its face. BY the cry of
wolf" they hope to keep Republicans
and Democrats away in sufficient num-
berS to leave the convention Of a Pop
complexion.
Why this particularly vigorous -four
ish of the party lash should be made
at this juncture needs no explanation.
There is an apprehension that maybe
after all the Eagle has been telling the
truth in asserting that a majority of
the voters Of Kansas, without regard
to party, are for silver which if true
the Republican organization will be
compelled to hold the body Of the party
quiescent, or otherwise an out and out
silver delegation will be. sent from
Kansas to the National convention in
'96.
We, as one, only have to say that
would be to encourage large attend
ance, to the end of Republican control,
rather than permit a popular movement
to go to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the OPP
position. 1t is to be a bimetallic con-
ventiOn, and the call comes from the
Kansas vice president of the American
Bimetallic league, a body Of men of |
every party.
The crack of the whip has been |
heard. 1t will be needed, by the pol |
itically ambitious. However that its |
use at this juncture is unwise and i'm |
polite we are convinced. Its swish |
may compel halt upon the part of |
the office-holder and the active worker,
but its sting will drive good men out
Of the Republican ranks.
