CORA AND CHASKA.

A Romance Set Forth in Something
Worse Than Blank Verse.
When Cora Belle Fellows was we'd
ded to Chaska and came with her
duslzy liege lord to Nebraska the skies
seemed bedecked with constant au-
rora and the little Jog hut seemed a
a palace to Cora. Months passed and
cloud grew above the horizon in the
form of s1uaw, and those women are
'pizen." Her eyes were as dark as the
dismal hereafter and her hair was as
straight as two-by-six rafter The
stout heart of Chaska succumbed to
her graces, for an Indian knows what
an elegant face is, and they met when
the moon the calm atmosphere mel
lows nor cared for the heartache OF
Cora Belle Fellows.
One night when the storm king the
coal scuttle looted this Chaska put on
his red blanket and scooted away to
the north with this maiden, nor tar
ried till he and fair Minnekadinctum
were married. And Cora she waited
and bore his abuses and hoped he'd re-
turn to his wife and papooses, but
weeks rolled by till the looks of her
cupboard reminded her sorely of Old
Mother Hubbard. Then Cora, disheart-
ened. disguised and gaunted, deserted
the home that her Chaska once haunt
ed, and mingled once more with her
friends, broken-hearted, and Cora and
Chaska forever are parted.
A moral this tale bears to girls who,

CHAPTER Xxx.

The one man who seemed to have
the clearest comprehension of all this
was Hendricks, who, from his retreat
underground, watched by some in.
scrutable process every move that was
made. Gen. Waterson reached Laran
on the Goth of July. He left New
York just six hours before the police
began to look for him, and he found
that four hundred and fifty of his men
had preceded him to the Laran. Dur
ing his absence the sanitarium had
been burned to the ground. This took
place on the 9th. On the 9th Gen.
Luscomb's party had been attacked in
the rear. The general had been killed
and his men routed. Those that es-
capped got in at Covington and re-
ported the sanitarium burnt and the
gang gone eastward. In the public
mind this appeared to explain the APP
pearance of the regiment in New York
ON the 18th.
About ten miles east of the Laran
snugly perched on the side of wild
glen is q solitary Swiss cottage. 1t is
bxilt of stone and looks down upon a
rugged but beautiful country 1t is
just three miles from the town of
Hoxie on a branch of the Tennessee
railroad where there is post Office
and telegraph station. The people in
the town understand that an eastern
literary woman who has an enormous
mail has hired the place on account
of it's seclusion and salubrity. She
has a pony and two servants, one
of whom is q man, and she comes to
town frequently with her pony to
mail her letters, get her papers and
meet an occasional visitor from the
east whom she takes back with her.
This literary woman is Mrs Hon
bricks. In her pretty little boudoir
on the secoud floor she has a tele-
graph instrument built into the wall,
and she communicates constantly with
Hendricks in the Laran by an under
ground wire that has been laid with
great care and expense through the
widest and most unfrequented part
of the intervening country and which
enters the cave through an artesian
drill that's hidden by four feet of soil.
In fragment of a preserved letter
of Hendricks he says: This wire cost
me more trouble and labor than any
thing else. 1t had to be laid at inter-
walls after careful survey in order to
avoid observation, and it had to follow
the unfrequented ways and escape the
possible surface water courses, for if it
had been barred and discovered my
enemies would have had the iron clew
that ran to the heart of my mystery"
The man servant in this establish
ment is none other than Fenning. The
room in which he and his companion
toll at their mail is tastefully furnished
and the windows on the inside arc pro-
vided with steel blinds. The two Royal
Dane mastiffs that have already been

was to cut the telegraph wires when
ten miles out at secluded spot, and
here twenty-five more men were
dropped. The train was then run with
q view to land the men at the best
point and to keep ahead of the special
| that it was believed would be on it's
heels. Gen. Waterson's report leaves
! us in no doubt as to how his plan dis
posed of the forces. Fifty got off at or
near Newark. Twenty-Five were
dropped at Waverly and twenty at
Elizabeth. Fifty were disposed of at
Railway and one hundred before reach
ing New Brunswick. Between Deans
and Monmouth Junction another hun
dred left and at Princeton Junction, at
the suburbs of Trenton, four hundred
more disappeared. Fifteen miles out
of Bristol the remaining hundred
dropped from the cars. The engine
was then reversed and the train
started spinning backwards to meet
the special.
Most of these men adopted the plan
that had been tried at st. Mary's. They
started at once in diverging lines
and disappeared in the surrounding
country.
The excitement in New York over
the affair was widespread, and was
famed into flame before evening by
The news that came from Philadelphia
that the United States mint had been
similarly robbed by another regiment
that had seized train and gone to
Lancaster.
The next morning full details of the
two exploits were printed, and there
was no doubt that they were both
parts of one plan. But no one appears
to have suspected the exact method of
the regiments or their plan of subse-
quent disintegration. The popular
imagination planted an armed force
in the field somewhere and added un-
told resources of men out of its own
terrors Something of this feeling was
reflected by the press and the action
of the secretary of the treasury, for all
the endeavors were directed to the in
Perception and capture of an armed
force which as the reader knows did
not exist. New York now recalled the
St. Mary's affair which it had formerly
treated as a western practical joke,
and the Louisville papers were rather
exultant at what they called an eastern
dose of the joke.
= But it must not be supposed that the
central police-office at New York had
been entirely led astray by these
events. 1t had quietly arrested six
men whom it's sharp-eyed detectives
had recognized as being in the ranks
of the visiting regiment, and on one of
them was found five hundred dollars
in gold. The superintendent, who saw
underneath the surface what he con-
ceived to be q vast and brainy con-
spiracy, summoned his best men; put
himself in communication with the
secret service bureau at Washington,
and very soon began to formulate some
of the inevitable deductions. In this
he was fortunately aided by one or two
circumstances. He obtained from the
bureau the photographs of
the men who had boarded the Corin-
THAN, which photographs had been
forwarded from England. One of the
persons in the group was discovered to
be Fenning. The other circumstance
was that the Washington bureau had
sent two men west on his trail and
they had disappeared in Tennessee.
With these facts before him, it did not
take the superintendent very long to
focus his suspicious upon western
Tennessee.

A monsters Bright Side.

There is strong evidence to show that
H. III. Holmes, who is now in Jail in
Philadelphia, is the murderer of several
women and girls, and it is reasonably Ger
tain that he slaughtered them in order TO
collect the insurance policies on their
lives which were assigne to him.
One would naturally suppose that such
a monster would be in every way hideoue
and repulsive. 1t seems, however, that
such is not the case. Holmes is a good
looking man of pleasant address, and his
wife firmly believes him to be innocent
of the murders laid to his charge, al
though she admits that some of his finan-
cial transactions were dishonorable. Mrs.
Holmes says that in his home there never
was a better man than her husband. He
was always kird, and his sunny nature
banished care and trouble from the house
hold. His fondness for children drew
the little ones to him, and dogs, cats and
horses iustinctively recognized him as
their friend.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Mrs. Potter Palmer Talks interestingly
About the New Woman,

Mrs Potter Palmer, president of the
woman managers of the Columbian ex-
position, has been talking very freely
about the new woman, or else she has
been se iously msrepresented.
According to a correspondent at Bar
Harbor, Mrs. Palmer is Mortified at the
change in the relations of the sexes
which has been brought about by the adj
vanced woman movement. She declares
tina in the society where she moves the
girls are making more advances than the
men. They have to do it or be let alone
The girls have to arrange the parties,
dances, picnics, drives, tennis, ETC., IN
order to draw the men. 1t is also alarm
ingly true that the young men like to get
off themselves. In order to get near to
them the girls have learned tennis, mas
tered the bicycle and become proficient
i 1 many of the exercises and pastimes of
men.
Mrs. Palmer claims that she speaks
IRON p6ISOudl UooLN1GlOb' gnu HhS 5ON'
on 30 say:
Why, if this tendency increases, the
first thing we know the young woman
will be compelled to make proposals of
marriage or remain forever single. They
have come dangerously near it already.
The half-concealed seeking, the manage
ment, the tact, the ingenuity, the lead
inc. are now all in the hands of the girls
and their mothers. Nothing remains
but for them to seize a fitting moment,
to kneel at the young mans feet, declare
undying love and propose matrimony.
1t makes my heart sick within me to hear
girls telephoning for young men, begging
for their companyat tennis, or in drive
or out boating-mere devices and pre-
texts for getting at the young man him
self. The girls are just as sweet and
lovely as ever, but there is revolution
in socia! conditions. | say it with pain,
that the tendency Of what is known as
our higher society is towards the Euro
pean system. Some of the principal
phases of European society are abhorrent .
1t will be a sad day for America when
they are adopted here-and already they
are much initiated, especially inthe east.
Are our wellto-do young men in the first
stages of the European process? Do they
believe their early manhood should be
devoted to roaming and license, and that
matrimony should come only with weari
ness? hope not.

HAD ENOUGH OF LIBERIA.
Emigrants Who sailed From savannah
Some Time go stranded and
Destitute.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-At the Way
farers' Lodge, Lombard street, home sick
and destitute, are three negroes of Ar
kansas. who have returned from Liberia,
whittier they went as colonists some
monts ago. OF nearly a hundred COM
panions in the expedition, some are said
to have died of starvation and Others are
eking out a wretched existence in Africa.
The three men are farmers of Jefferson
county, Ark. Frank Shelton, one of the
men, has a wife and four children there :;
j. r. Tucker, another, has family, and
Ebenezer Russell, the third, is unmarried.
They say the international Migration
Society of Birmingham, Ala, offered
twenty-five acres of land to every colonist
and used as Endorsement the name of
Bishop II. NJ. Turner of Atlanta, Ga.
The subscribers were required to pay
Sal in advance by installments and their
passage to Savannah. In return they
were TO be given their passage, food and
land on arrival.
The ship sailed in March for Monrovia
with ninety-seven colonlsts, who were in
the care Of the society's secretary. The
men declare they were simply dumped
ashore and allowed to shift for them
selves.
A score of their comrades died with
fever and some, it is reported, persisted
by starvation Work could not be secur-
ed and the flesh of dead animals was
seized upon with avidity for food. Shell
ton and his two neighbors saw no hope
for them in the colony and succeeded in
obtaining passage to Liverpool and
thence to Philadelphia, They expect
help from Arkansas which will enable
them to return to their homes.

DIVIDE THE HORSES.

A Problem for Those Who Like to Figure.
A Philadelphia Welshman, who has
been spending his vacation in his native
land near a place called Joggenoddt,
declares that the school population of
the entire town has gone daft over a
mathematical problem that the average
school child in this country would con
slider very simple. 1t seems that farmer
named Griffith, who lived at Joggen0ddt,
died and left his estate to three sons.
The eldest was to get one-half the entire
estate, the next one-third the entire eS;
tate, and the younger son one-ninth of
the entire estate. After all the property
had been divided but the live stock the
three sons were confronted by the fact
that there were II horses to be divided.
Now, the problem is to divide the II
horses according to the provisions of the
will.

He Left Bankrupt Business Man and

WIte Frustrated,

Wife Frustrated,
A Greenvile, Ohio, special tells this
interesting story:
Curtis johnson returned to this city
after an absence of ten years, having de-
serted beautiful young wife in 1883.
He left here bankrupt business man
and came back with a fortune
Loaded with valuable psesents, says a
special to the Cincinnati Tribune, he
sought the woman he had left. He found
that she had secured divorce from him
him several years ago and had remarked.
He is almost wild with grief, and it is
feared he may lose his mind.
Mr. johnson is still a young man, be-
ing but thirty-fi7e years of age. When
he was twenty three he met and wooed
Miss Eta Freezl, who was noted
throughout Ohio for her great beauty
They were married and lived happily to-
gether for two years. One child, girl,
was born to them. Mr.. johnson was i'll
wholesale
time he prOSpered. Things gradually
went against him, and one day he was
forced to assign. 1t was but short
time before he found himself OennileSs.
His business troubles told greatly upon
him, and he began to act quoeriy. One
day he suddenly disappeared. His beau
tiful young wife made every possible
effort to find some trace of her husband,
but all her efforts proved useless.
AS years passed and she heard nothing
from Kim, she came to the conclusion he
had committed suicide. Ms. Johnson
worked hard to support her child, and
succeeded in earning a fair living after
surmounting many difficulties. Two
wears ago she met William H. Perry. She
was first attracted to him because of his
remarkable resemblance to the man she
had first loved and welded. Mr.. Perry
fell desperately in love with pretty Mrs.
johnson, and she finally consented to be-
come his wife She applied for divorce
and secured it. They were married in
1898 and lived together happily.
Mrs. Johnson had about forgotten her
first love- This afternoon at o'clock a
handsome stranger rang the bell of Mrs.
Perry's residence She opened the door,
stood for second and gazed into the
face looking into hers, saw the out
stretched arms aud then fell in a faint.
Mr.. Perry appeared upon the scene and
Indignantly demanded the cause of the
trouble. Mr. Johnson just as Indignantly
inquired by what authority he was ques-
toned.
81 am this woman's husband" Mr.
Perry replied,
For a moment Mr.. johnson seemed
dazed. Suddenly he staggered and fell.
He was taken into the house, and when
he was himself again he explained mat
tiers.
He went to Mexico after leaving his
wife, and five years ago he had enough
m oney to speculate in mining property.
He was more than successful and in a
few years he amassed fortune. He
could give no reas n why he had never
communicated with his wife during his
long absence.
Mrs. Perry is completely Frustrated by
the shock, and SO is her husband. Mr.
johnson says he will spend his fortune
educating and caring for his daughter,
who is already noted for her remarkable
beauty How the matter will be settled
has not yet been decided.
