Germany is full Of people who beievs
that militarism is responsible for everv

the emperor's head, and their arguments
are taken generally with several grains Of
salt

even in hot-blooded Spain it has faII4n
into disrepute.
That since the armies began to grow
in 1S71, the annual number OF duels in F.,,
rope has increased from about 40 10
1850 or 100; and that. with every man
trained TO b. soldier and to cling IN
the army traditions of swords or pis-
tolls for two, the challenges and meet
ings will multiply so fast that only burg
lars, tramps and saloon brawlers will be
left to give the criminal courts an excuse
for existence
That German officer who declines TO
fight when insulted will be forced out OF
the army at once is known to all.
That the emperor thinks this encour-
agement to break the law against duel
ing just and necessary is known to all
who know him.

soil. The Belgians themselves are not
especially phlegmatic in affairs of honor
and so it came that in this dot of a land
some $50 duels were fought every year
King Leopold and mis- lawmakers re-
garded the figure as somewhat beyond
Belguim's size, so last summer they put
in effect a draconic law against affairs

CHAPTER III.

THE Marchioness" took the little scent
ed note and tried to deCipher an impas-
stoned plea for forgiveness. The widow $
name was freely used by Miss Stimson
as an excuse for her premeditated treach-
cry. I have been made" read The
Warehouses" mo. 1t isn't made its
mad. l have been mad but to prove my
love for you 1 will marry you on your
death-bed if you send me one word of
forgiveness and consent
When The Warehouses came to this
part of Miss Stimsons appeal she looked
up for a moment. the curious little flush
on her sallow cheeks deepening still more
Slim Pete watched her intently.
''Marchioness." he said. before I seek
the happy hunting grounds. isn't there
anything l can do for you2"
THE Marchioness" made no answer
but approached Slim Pete to rearrange his
pillows. The shade Of the lamp hid her
face, but il could not conceal her sham
bling gate and awkward movements, her
large red hands, her wide mouth and
uneven, discolored teeth. Slim Pete
reached up his thin white hand and held
her huge fingers for one moment in his
feeble grasp. "Marchioness. he said
with a boyish smile on his face you've
been a good chum to me. Now you shall
see the fun"
"The Warehouses" coughed in an en-
barrassed way and looked for a moment
at the hand which he had touched. 1t
seemed rougher, rcdder, co2rsor than

Public opinion was strongly in favor
of THE Marchioness s" course of action
as time went on. Her unwearying care
of Slim Pete grew to be looked upon by
the inhabitants of the Four Corners as a
delicate recognition of diffident sense
of Indebtedness to Canada and Canadians
generally. In reply to the gaolers offer
to procure him a hired nurse, Slim Pete
had somewhat roughly refused to allow
anyone else to minister to his wants. The
handsome desperate remarked. with
touch of irony that no scandal could
possibly arise under the circumstances,
owing to The Marchioness' s. lack OF
personal charm and beauty; and also
that as this Yves probably the last time
which anyone could have a chance of
criticising him. he preferred to give
friends and foes alike as little opportunt
ty as possible
The sheriff, who was sitting in the
room at the time, nodded a cordial ac-
ouiescence In his private capacity he
mourned over Petes approaching exit
from this world with very real sense of
grief as sheriff, he felt that he deserved
well of the state; but these feelings We're
rather conflicting at times and led him to
wish that Pete had escaped altogether.
AS he crossed the creek on the way home
after his customary chat with Slim Pete
one afternoon, he was aware of a fem
mime figure slowly preceding him in the
direction of Stimson's pasture.
The sheriff frowned and followed the
ladylike figure in front as it daintily
stroned along, a parasol shading Miss
Sumson's delicate complexion from the
heat of the spring sun.
The lady. with an affectation of indiff-
erence almost allowed him to pass her.
Then she turned her flashing dark eyes on
him. and bowed.
The sheriff, mindful of past encounters
with this handsome coquette, was about
to stroll by, but she stayed him with d
light touch of her gloved hand. How is
your interesting patient?" she asked, in
tones which she strove to render Jelly
chill.
The sheriff turned on her fercely You

FOR 'FRISCO'S PROTECTION.
Satisfactory Progress Being Made in
the Work.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The re-
ports received at the Office of the
chief engineers indicate that satisfac-
tory progress is being made in the
Notifications and preparations for de-
Tense of the harbor at San Francisco.
Among the works which are expected
TO be completed during the year is the
construction of emplacements for the
two 12-inch guns on non-disappearing
carriages. This work will cost, when
completed, about $4,000. The mortar
battery, which was begun in 1893 has
been completed and four of the Pinch
guns on lifts have been made ready
for service and put in place. The en-
placement for one of the ethree new
10-inch guns on disappearing carriages
has also been finished and it is ex-
pected that the second of them will be
completed during the year While

gress of fertilization Improvements the

where the outlaws camped last night.
The officers were following the trail at
a point sover thirty miles northwest
from here this afternoon. Stockmeu
who are familiar with the country say
that the thieves are not far from tim
Der and will doubtless reach it in adj
vance of the officers. From all that
can be learned, they are heading for
the mountains east of Ogden and may
strike through into Cache valley or
over into the Bear Lake country. 1t
is estimated that all told at least 100
armed men are in pursuit of the des-
peradoes. The main body of pursuers
are now beyond telegraph commune
cation and will not strike the line
again until tomorrow unless couriers
are sent out. The last accounts indi-
Gated that the horse thieves had not
secured fresh horses, as they were be-
ing trailed by the peculiar track one
of their horses makes and which has
been followed all the way from Summit
county. A gentleman who has
just come in over the route
which Coughlin and George are
supposed to be following says that
they are in now and it is possible for
them to miss the timber country and
get down into the grazing lands and
if they dc the officers can overtake
them by morning but that there is
plenty of sheep ranches where they
can make another stand. If they can
get into the timber they will be safe

MINERAL LANDS.
METHOD OF CLASSIFICATION Is
NOT SATISFACTORY.
Some Other Plan Must Be Adopted
or the Work VIII Not Be Com

fury.

WASHINGTON, July S1.-The work
thus far done under the law passed by
the last Congress for the examination
and classification of mineral lands in
the grant of the Northern Pacific in
Montana and Idaho. has shown that
the method is far from satisfactory
and that some other plan will have to
be adopted. The law contemplated that
the examinations were to be finished
in two years, but it has been figured
out that in the small district of Mon
tana, that of Bozeman, that if three
commissioners should each mount a
horse every morning and ride directly
through the lands to be examined at
the rate of twenty miles a day it
would take them three years merely to
ride across the land and they would
then be able to see only a little strip
on either side of them, leaving a strip
unseen on either side nearly a half
mile wide. They could not make the
examination with any accuracy what
ever and their work would be far from

complete.
1t has also been shown that the ex-
aminatiOnS thus far made have cost
the government % cents an acre.
There are 100000 acres to examine
and the total cost is thus figured at
100000, though this is said to be a
low estimate because the process is
much slower where disputes arise and
where testimony has to be taken. Be-
sides, the examinations thus far made
are in the agricultural regions where
there is little questions of the quality
of the lands. 1t is also said that the
machinery and methods of procedure
is cumbersome and unsatisfactory.
Commissioner Lambreau says the
method being adopted with lands of
other roads seems 10 be a much better
one. In a mineral country, the land
office, before patenting lands to the
railroad companies, advertise the in
tention of such patenting, Withholding
for sixty days all lands within six
miles of a known mineral claim and
inviting protests to passing to patent
lands which are supposed to be min
eral. If a protest is made, the land
covered is withheld until an eXamina-
ton is made. Considerable controversy
arose between the department and the
Southern Pacific railroad before this
regulation was made. The Southern
Pacific controls and owns nearly all of
the grants in the west which are val
liable for minerals, this being the case
of the old grants TO the California and
Oregon and Oregon and California
companies. The people along these
roads represented to the department
that the Southern Pacific was making
efforts to rush its lands to patent, thus
closing out all possibility of further
efforts to secure the mineral lands by
prospectors. The patents which were
about to issue were withheld until the
regulations were made, not, however
without a protest from the Southern
Pacific company. which insisted that
ample opportunity had been given
prospectors to locate mineral lands if
they desired. The department issued
the order, and the settlers and pros
pectors along the line of road are now
given an opportunity to make an ex-
animation of the lands and have their
attention called to the fact that GER
tain mineral claims have heretofore
been located and for sixty days they
may prospect within six miles of the
claim and any land that is thought-by
the prospectors to be mineral is eX-
empted when the patent passes for adj
joining lands. The protests have re-
suited in holding up lands which if ole
passed to patent might be found to be
very valuable in possession of the
company and if mineral was diScov-
cred after patent was issued it would
not affect the title of the company.

SAID HE WAS GOING.
George Predicted That He Would
Never Return Here.

Motorman Dent of the Salt Lake
City Railway company has been a
playmate and acquaintance of young
George, one of the desperadoes, since
his childhood. He says that George
has been an inveterate devourer of
dime novels ever since his early DAYS.
He has always talked as though he
would like to be a horsethief or add
a few names to the list of the men he
has killed. AS he has approached
manhood the desire has become
stronger ard stronger and he has Of
ten talked about going away where he
could give his queer ideas full play.
1t is said that while George was
working at the dairy in this city he
was very restless. One day in d spirit
of confidence he told a driver of a.
sprinkling cart, with whom he was
riding, that he was going away from
Salt Lake.
I'm going to leave" he said, land
what I'm going to do, but when L do
it Salt Lake will be too hot for me-
He threw out several intimations
that at last he was going to reach the
summit of his ambitions and become
horsethief. The ride with his friend
was taken on Pioneer day. The next
day he stole the horse from the dairy
and decamped to Park City. Within
a few days he was an outlaw with a
sheriff's posse after him, and now it
is likely if he ever returns to Salt
Lake it will be as dead man.
