TO PREVENT LYNCHlNG.
Officers Having Custody of Prisoners Will Be Held Responsible for Their Capture
 By Mob.

Columbia, s. C., Nov. 9.-The constitu- tional convention today spent the whole of it's time considering two sections of the article on Jurisprudence. It took the convention several hours to provide for the preparation of a code of the statue laws of the state every ten years. Then it Jumped on the measure to prevent lynchngs, which, when the adjournment was reached, read as amended as follows:
 In the case of any prisoner lawfully in the charge, custody or control of an ofti- cer of the state, county or municipal, being seized and taken from said officers through their negligence, permission or coniyance by mob or other unlawful assenblage of persons, and at their hands suffering bodily violence or death, the said officer shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor and upon a true bill being found shall be deposed from his office and shall, unless pardoned by the gov ernor, henceforth be ineligible to hold any office of trust or profit within this state. It shall be the duty of the prosecuting att torney within whose circuit or county the offense may be committed to forth with institute prosecution against said officer, who shall be indicted and tried in such county other than the one in which the offense was committed, as the attor- ney-general may select, in the same cir cult.
 The fees and mileage of all material witnesses of the state for the defense shall be paid by the state treasurer in such manner as'may be provided by law.
 A motion to strike this section out was voted down. MT. Rogers, who moved to strike it out, said: They were all anxious to stop lynching. They have been labor ing under the odium of 1t. This section actually proposes to hold man responsi- ble for crime which he was absolutely poweress to prevent. The bald facts make him guilty of a mfsdemeanor and forever disqualify him from holding off, flee. This Is more stringent than any provision of any military despot in the world. We have abundance of law to punish any derecliction of duty We have abundance of law to prevent lynching. You are punishing the sheriff. who is not able to prevent the crime It is stripping him of the fundamental right of liberty, and then you say he can be taken to any county In the state to be tried, not the lynchers but the sheriff. This is wrong more fragrant than the crime it is intend ed to prevent. I do insist that this con- vention will consider it fully.
 Senator Tillman and others made strong speeches in favor of the section, fully answering all of MT. Rogers argu- ments.

BANK STATEMENT.
More Gold Is To Be Exported--No Signs That the Money Market Will Be Strength
 ened.

New York, Nov. 9.-The New York FL nancier says this week:
 The statement of the associated banks of New York for the week ending No vember A. in no wise reflects the usual conditions prevailing during the six days covered, but it does show the nar- rowness of the present market for funds. According to the tabulated statements the banks gained $1,1S4,O00 in cash, of which $210,500 was specie and $973,500 legal tenders. The fact of the matter is that the banks lost enough money through the interior movement to have partially offset this increase.
 There is nothing in the present situa- tion that favor the continuance of large shipments indefinitely. The demand for currency is not centralized in any sec ton, but Is rather scattering. The north west will probably need more money soon, but to what extent is uncertain. The shipments for the past week have been rather local in character and the receipts have been from nearby cities. The heavy liquidation in the week is seen in the unusually contraction of $4.76S,600 in loans. Not since May IS last have the total loans been as low as reported last week, and the contraction from the high water mark of $522, ,69S. 500, reached on September IA, is about $27,- 100000 The loan, in fact, is back to where it was at the first of the year.
 Deposits fell off $1, ,926, 600, and now is at $527, ,935, 800, a decrease of almost $49, 000,- 900 in two months.
 The money market during the week ex- hibited signs of falling off in strength, but loans were generally maintained at about 9 per cent. On the other hand the exchange market as result of logical conclusions, which have been foreseen for some time, developed considerable strength and the announcement Satur- day that gold exports were to be made within the next four days, created no surprise. Several factors may operate to strengthen the money market within a few weeks, but 1t is predicting too much to say that there are present signs of such a contingency. A period of later rates is more probably.
 The averages show the following com pared with the last two years:

A Million to Be Withdrawn From the Treas
 ury Next Week.
 New York. Nov 9.-Messrs. W. H. Crossman & Bros, coffee merchants and general commission men. have arranged to withdraw s1,o00.oO0 gold at least from the sub-treasury for export Wednesday. Messrs. Crossman, 1t will be remembered, were the largest shippers of gold during the recent export movement. They sold exchange against the gold mostly in the form of cables. They have excellent fa- cilities in London for doing the business In this case it is believed the shipment Is a special transaction on an order that 1t is known has been in the market for some days and the full effect of which 1t is believed has been fully discounted in the security market.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The horse did not seem to feel the
weight of his double load, and sped
over the ground at rapid pace.
'How noble of you, Ned, to risk your
own precious life for me-" she said, as
they flew along. can eternity of love
and devotion could not repay you for
your work of tonight"
"One smile from my darling one, one
word Of love from her lips would amply
repay me for any undertaking, no
matter what dangers it might pre-

dians treat you harshly, Alice?"
"No, Ned, but o, shuddcr to think
of the fate they held in store for me
and which would have met tonight
had not this storm come on. There is in
the band a young half-brccd Indian
who speaks fairly good English, and he
explained to me that many of the In
dians' horses have died lately from
some epidemic, and the medicine man
of the tribe told them that the Great
Spirit was angry with the people and
demanded sacrifice to appease his
wrath. He told them that they must
make captive paleface girl, and out in
an open camp must build great circle
of fires, and that in the circle amid dane
ing and rejoicing the maiden must be
bound and trampled to death by
horses ridden by those whose animals
had died. The band which captured
me were on the way to the ranch of q
settler near the base of the San Mateo
mountains west of the fort to carry off
his daughter for the sacrifice when
they heard my pony's footsteps coming
down the gulch, and, concealing
themselves near the trail, they awaited
my coming. They believed the Great
Spirit had thrown me into their hands,
and their rejoicing was great. The
wood for the fore-circle had all been
collected when the storm approached,

and as the thunders rolled In the dis
tance the medicine man told them the
Great Spirit was speaking to them
commanding them to take me to the
reservation where the entire tribe
could take part in the ceremonies. o,
Ned, in their blind, ignorant suPersti-
tion they will be frantic over my es-
cape, and will use desperate efforts to
recapture me. Do you not fear pur-
suit?"
Your absence may not be discov-
cred until daybreak, my darling, and
even should you be missed tonight,
they could not discover our trail in the
darkness. Even now | am depending
entirely on the instinct of the horse to
keep our direction, for not a landmark
can be seen in this pitchy darkness"
but they will know that my rescuer
came from the fort, or that if escaped
unaided I would start back toward the
fort, and should | be missed in the
night would they not at once come in
this direction In search of me?"
"You are right, Alice, had not
thought of that. Then, in reassur-
ing tone, he added: But do not foel
the least fear, dear one, for we are
mounted on magnificent horse, and
he is making splendid progress. We
will surely reach the river by day
break, and think the Indians would
not go far without some sign to show
them that they were on our trail. Rest
assured that we will reach the fort in
safety in time for q good breakfast"
II pray that you may be right, Ned,
yet have a presentiment that peril
awaits us before we reach our home. /
will try to Danish the fear, which is no
doubt foolish one."
"You will laugh at your fears, little
one, when you are again safe in your
home, But wee, darling, the rain has
almost ceased, and it grows lighter"
The clouds were indeed passing
away, and soon the stars glimmered
dimly through the hazy atmosphere.
On and on they sped across the
desert, every bent OF the horses hoofs
making an increased distance between
themselves and their Indian foes.
On through the gloom Of night into
the gray dawn of morning they rode
and just as the first streak Of sunlight
kissed the damp earth over the eastern
hills they came upon the bluffs over
looking the Rio Grande at the point
where they had crossed 1t, four miles
below the fort.
Here Is the dear old river again,

CHAPTER XVII.


1t was high noon when Brown
reached the scene of the capture, and,
taking the plain trail left by the In
dians, he followed it to the river bank.
Pushing forward, he forded the stream,
regained the trail on the opposite side
and dashed away into the sandhills in
eager pursuit of the captors of her
whom he SO dearly loved.
He formed no definite plan of action.
His every effort was bent in the direc-
tion of locating the Indians where they
would camp for the night before dark
ness should blind the trail. He was
thoroughly familiar with the country,
having often secuted it with his troop
and knew that at the Dripping Springs,
about forty miles from the river, IA
vorite camping ground of the tribe was
located. There he hoped to find the
camp of the band, of which the captors
of Alice were but fragment.
On and on he sped through the hills
which border the river, and out into
the great tornado del Muerto, or Jour
ney to DEATH" that great desert once
a terror to those who were obliged to
traverse its dreary, waterless wastes
beneath the burning suns of summer.
Far ahead in the distance the San
Andreas range loomed up before him,
the eastern side of the great frame of
mountains which inclosed the desert.
The shades of evening were rapidly
eclipsing the light of day as he en-
tered the first range of foothills and
sped along the trail into the bosom Of
the mountains. Dark, threatening
clouds began to gather over the tower
ing peaks as he reared the Dripping
Springs, and distant growlings OF
thunder presaged coming storm.
Dismounting from his horse he
crawledA to the brow of a hill from
which view Of the spring could be
secured, and his heart gave a great
throb Of satisfaction when the smoke
from number of camp fires met his
eyes. Grouped about near the springs
was village of about twenty lodges,
and near by herd of ponies roamed
over the hillside cropping the sparse
grass which sprouted out from between
the rocks.
His searching eyes failed to discover
the presence of a guard on any of the
surrounding hills, and he rightly in
terpreted this to mean that the In.
dians, having travelled with great speed
to their present camp, knew that they
need fear no pursuing party before the
following day. Even had the capture
been discovered shortly after the poor
girl was seized, the cavalry horses
could never carry their equipment
laden riders more than half the dis

tance from the fort to the mountains
before darkness came upon them, and,
not being able to follow the trail, the
troops would camp until daybreak.
Fully satisfied that there were no SEN
tinels to discover his presence, his hope
Of being able to gain an entry In the
village was greatly strengthened.
He must now wait until darkness
should come TO conceal his movements.
Lying down upon the brow Of the hill,
he eagerly scanned the distant camp
Dusky forms moved to and fro about
the tiichering fires, but the one beloved
forw5 f6r which he sought with aching
eyey appeared not. Although the ap-
preaching storm materially aided In
driving back the gray light of day, to
his anxious, impatient soul the night
fall came with all too tardy footsteps.
The great black clouds rolled rapid
Sly toward him, at times splitting out
Vivid flashes of lightning followed by
peals Of angry thunder. These premo-
lnitions of the coming storm filed his
breast with unspeakable satisfaction,

with favor and no longer oppose our
hearts fondest desires"
THAT has been the uppermost sub
ject of my thoughts during the entire
trip, and | pray God that it may be as
we hope"
Happening to cast his eyes back over
his shoulder his heart ceased for a
moment to beat and his blood ran
cold in his veins.
A band of mounted Indians came
sweeping down the bluff but half
mile behind them.
"My God, we are pursued" he cried,
striking the spurs deeply into the sides
of the horse. "Cling closely, my loved
one, for it will now be desperate ride
for life."
MAY God in Heaven protect u.s." she
murmured, as the fierce yells of the
pursuing Indians reached their ears.
The noble horse heard the savage
cries of the pursuers, and seemed to
realize the great danger that threat
ened his riders. Across the grassy val
! ley he flew with almost incredible
speed, and thrill of hope flashed
through the young soldiers breast as
he noted that each bound of the animal
increased the distance between them
selves and the savages
"We gained on them. Courage, my
beloved, courage, and we will yet es-
cape them, If we can but reach the
other side and gain the high ground,
they may abandon the chase before
getting too near the fort"
God grant that they may Oh,
those frightful, unearthly yclls! They
seem to chill my blood" she said,
clinging yet more closely to her lover
Without slackening his pace the
horse dashed into the stream, but the
water impeded his progress and the
Indians gained rapidly upon them.
Nobly the strong beast plunged against
the swift waters which rose to his
breast in the center of the stream, but
the current was strong and his progress
was slow. At last he reached the other
side and dashed up the bank as the In
dians were urging their ponies into the
water on the opposite side.
Across the wooded bottom which in
tervened between the river and the
western bluff they flew, and began the
ascent of the gulch which led to the
mesa. The steepness of the hill again
impeded the horses speed, and when
they reached the summit the Indians
could be seen flying across the bottom,
still in mad pursuit.
Courage, my darling" he again
cried in an assuring tone. "Do not
despair, for we may yet escape them.
The fort can now almost be seem"
God will aid us, Ned, my beloved, "
she responded. "My lips are moving
in constant prayer for our deliver.

"A New Method of Converting Brunettes
Into Blondes In Quick Time.
An enterprising hair dyer has pro-
jected scheme for making oleached
blondes as fast as the demand may re-
quire, says the Electric World. The sub
ject of operation seats herself in an op-
Grating chair somewhat similar to that
used by the dentists, and rests the back
OF her neck on metal plate, which is
the negative terminal of arather strong
battery, the current from which is suf-
fcient TO exert a moderate decompos-
ing action on solutions of salts, contain
ing bleaching agent such as chlorine.
The tresses are allowed to fall back of
the chair and are dampened with So
luton of what the inventor terms his
secret. brush composed of metallic
bristles which have been gilded or
platinized and which are electrically
connected to the source of the current,
thus forming the positive pole of the
battery, is slowly and steadily drawn
through the hair.
A slight decomposition of the salt
held in solution takes place, the bleach
ing agent is liberated and the coloring
matter in the hair is lightened. The
discoverer declares that the color given
to the darkest hair may be varied at
pleasure, and may also be carefully
regulated; fur thermore, he states that
the color does not resemble that of Or
binary "bleached" hair, but is more
natural and in every way able to de-
ceive the most expert in such matters.
While the idea is one which is attrac-
tive from an experimental standpoint,
the object attained, if his statements
are true, is one which should be pushed
into obscurity by minimum amount
of praise. Still another beautifying

this inventor, who seems too fertile in
such vanity-promoting ideas. He ad-
