Patient Recovered.

Frogs Applied - The Frogs Died But the
Patient Recovered.
He was living in a town where there
were chills and fever in plenty and to
spare, and had friend who had fallen
victim to the periodical seismic dis
turbance.
Finally there came along un old
French halfbreed, a man with long hair
and mysterious presence hiding many
potencies of good and i'll; and in his
presence one day Mr.. NJ. declared that
he knew what to give the patient.
When the shaking fit came on the
sick man was to take two frogs, one in
each hand, hold them up before his
face and breathe into their open
mouths; the shaking would then de,
part and never return.
OF course, such prescription raised
laugh, and laughing comments we, Q
made on such a remedy as that.
But Mcintyre decided to try it, as
that, at least, could do no harm. He
put on his boots and waded out into
the tangles of the nearest morass, and
finally caught two big bullfrogs. They
were fine specimens of their kind, with
deep-green backs and voices that were
accustomed toecho their deep diapason
among the neighboring hills.
These he put into deep tub, half
filed with water, and put the tub un-
der the bed of his sfriend, all ready for
the shake of the next day, for that
was the time it was due.
The next day at about two o'clock
his friend went to bed, and, with what
calmness he could muster, awaited the
shake.
On it came, and Mcintyre pulled out
the tubs, caught the frogs and gave
them into the hands of tbs patient. He
held one in each hand, with their big
mouths toward him, and breathed on
them, holding them firmly.
The frogs were dead in three sec
onds, and the man with the shakes go.

CHAPTER XIV.


The sensation caused by the arrest
of Mr.. Lacy, the paragon of paymas-
ters' clerks, as he had been described
in one of his letters of recommenda-
ton, ended not with the going down of
the sun that day, nor many thereafter.
Graves himself sat in state bordering
on collapse for few hours after the
occurrence.
why, that gentleman was recon-
mended by half the senate, and almost
insisted on by my bondsmen," said he,
with tears in his eyes. "What will
they say to me? Why, Rand, he ac-
tually had to be named as my clerk
before l could be confirmed at all. :"
To which the imperturbable Inspector
general responded: Yes, no doubt.
You see, Graves, they had to get
out of Washington; he knew too much,'
and when Graves besought him to say
why he suspected the paragon, Rand
serenely answered he didn't, he had
suspected him month ago, perhaps,
but now he knew; SO should everybody
else just as soon as the case could be
brought to trial. But meantime other
entertainment was provided for the
cavalry. Even while Lacy was fran
tically sending kilograms and letters to
officials of high degree all over the
east, demanding investigation, vindi-
cation, ETC., there came an order for
the immediate detachment of three of
Tintops companies TO take the field far
to the northwest. d troop went as a
matter of course. This time Schramm
did not have to ask "to go along NIT
dem fellers." 1t was their veteran cap
tain who was left behind.
just rs Perry Thornton had told his
father, the men OF the troop, thankful
for, yet declining, the proffered sub
scription of the officers. had ordered
from the east as handsome an outfit OF
belt, helmet, spurs, shoulder and saber-
knots as money could buy, Connie
alone of the household being in the
secret. Her father never again had
asked to see Thornton's letter, and she,
who once had been so insistent, ceased
all mention of it or of its writer. The
glow of delight with which the child
had received and read that jolly, warm
hearted, yet utterly unsentimental
note had opened the fathers eyes no
more than it had her own. Constance
Morgan stepped from girlhood to
Womanhood in the day and hour which
taught her how, little by little, there
had been kindled in her heart tiny
flame of tenderness that burned as in
cense at the altar-an Offering at the
shrine wherein the boy sat installed,
the hero of girls imaginative and
impulsive nature. With what burn
ing checks did she own it to her
self! With what womanly shame
did she realize that she had betrayed
it ere she herself fairly kneY of its ex-
istence! She!-an army girl, q sol
dier's daughter, with Lot and Billy to
look after, with dear. old daddy to
nurse and comfort-she, Constance
Morgan, daring to indulge in idle day
dreaming over a boy in his first uni
form! 1t was simply shameful. She

THOSE FIGHTING JAPS

Make Good Use of Their TOrpedoes In
Wei-Hai-Wei Harbor-Four of the Chi
nese War Ships Sunk, Including Two Big
-CIads-Their Work Barely Finished
at Wei-Hai-Wei When They Began on
the Che-Foo Forts.
LONDON, Feb. "a Shanghai dis
patch to the Central News saws:
The Shanghai Mercury publishes a
special dispatch which says that on the
night of February the Japanese
cleared the torpedoes from the entrance
to Wei-Hai-Wei harbor, and their tor.
pedo boats made dash for the Chinese
warship Ting Yuen, which they sue
ceeded in sinking. The next night the
torpedo boats made another rush and
sunk the Wei-Yuen, Lii Yuen and Pao-
Hun
There was great excitement in Che
Foo upon learning that the forts on
the island of Liu Kung Tao had been
taken. Che-Foo is in no danger as
yet. but the place has been given a re-
minder of what may happen. When
the japanese fleet passed the city they
fired few shots at the forts, appar-
emily with the object of showing what
they could do. The Japanese forces
are advancing towards Che-Foo.
kilograms from Che-Foo say that
Admiral Ting, through whose efforts
the ships were saved, has arrived there.
A dispatch to the Lloyds from
Shanghai confirms the report that the
Japanese have taken Liu-Kung-Tao
and sunk the Chinese warships Chen
Yuen and Ting Yuen.
Attack On the Forts at Che-Foo Begun.
LONDON, Feb. A dispatch fro m
Che-Foo says the ship Ning-Hai COM
menced at noon, on February z, to
lombard the western forts at Che Foo.
The foreigners there were armed and
the town gates were closed and barra-
caded. The attack is regarded as a
feint to cover the landing of additional
japanese troops which landed Thurs
day evening 10 miles east of Che Foo
and are now attacking the eastern
forts.

ington reference was made to the malig.
nant hatred of Col. Rand as the insplra.
tion of all their prooiess and damna-
BILE accusations, and these getting to
the war department and so coming to
Rand for remark, the placid colonel
finally waxed indignant. It was bad
enough, said he, that Lacy should be
an expert thief and blackleg, but that
to cover his own tracks and those of
his pals he should seek the ruin of in
nocent men was rather too much of a
good thing. Then the general came
back from the field about this time;
Rand made his report, and on went a
four-page letter to Washington reciting
briefly the evidence now in their pos
session as affecting Lacy. This was
shown to the ex-clerk's friends at
court, and two letters from the east,
after being opened and examined by
the sheriff, were handed in to Lacy's
cell the day after Schramm's arrival
That night the prisoner asked for more
paper and permission to write till late,
and when morning came the neatly
folded document proved to be the final
statements of the clerk who had cashed
so many papers of that name within
the past year-but would cash no more.
What was left of Lacy lay stiffening
on the narrow cot. The pight-watch
had not even heard him groan.
A fellow of much inventive genius
was Lacy, and of uncommon useful
ness until luck turned. Cards, mining
stocks, wheat, wine and women all
combined against him. He had to COW
er the money abstracted to pay his
losses and put up more margins. He
owed still more, and his creditors, gam.
blers like himself, said: Pay or we
peach" There was just one way to
''raise the wind" without reaping the
whirlwind; the paymaster must be
robbed on the very next trip; and the
plan was to have the train :'held up,"
until the sudden move of the cavalry
suggested an easier way. Out went
two of his sportsmen friends with let
ters of introduction to the hunter her.
NIT in the Tomahawk range. Down
they went with him as their guide and
companion and scout. Cavalry over
coats and slouch hats and equipments,
such as were worn in the field in those
days, were to be had almost anywhere.
Armed with their bogus dispatch they
rode to Minden, lodging Sergt. Do
lan's escort from Bear fork to Alkali.
Leaving their horses with the boy at
the bridge, the three men received the
paymaster and Lacy at the station to
which he had been lured, and the rest
was easy until it came to get
ting away with the money. The
hermit forbade their returning by
way of his hut, as they would be
trailed thither and he and his boy In
stantly suspected.
