Game of Cross-Purposes.
LINCOLN, March 0.-(Special For some
reason or other the numerous aspirants for
Warden Beemer's shoes have been unusually
active for the past two days. Among the
candidates on the ground who are constantly
fitting through the hotel corridors and the
state house lobbies are James Dahlman of
Chadron, George Leidigh of Nebraska City,
I. Sheridan of Red Willow county and James
O'Shee of Lincoln. j. V. Wolfe of Ian.
caster hopes to be still counted In the race.
All OF these candidates are wearing looks Of
cheerful expectancy, and for some reason
they all believe that the appointment is to
be made within a few days.
In the meantime 1t is suspected that Prison
Contractor Dorgan is putting in days and
nights studying the situation. 1t Is of the
utmost importance TO his interests that the
new warden be friendly to him. The legis-
lature is likely to do one OF two things
either recommend that his contract be an
nulled, or take the ground that he has no
contract, and recommend that he be elected
from the penitentiary premises. If the state
authorities should be directed to adopt the
latter alternative, Dprgan may find himself
locked out almost any morning in the near
future.
II Warden BeemeF's position Is not misun-
derstood, Dorgan may be locked out even
before new warden is appointed, 1t Is well
understood that Bsemar is anxious to throw
the penitentiary tsts the hands of the Board
of Public Lands and Buildings. 1t is equally
well known that ne Would like to be installed
in Dorgan's place s4the general manager of
the institution. He';elaims he can run the
shops with fewer outsiders. with better salts
faction to the coftrsctors, with better effect
upon the convicts, ana that he can make the
pententiaTy self4stIstaining.
In the meantime IJ7 A. Bucksteff whose
desire to gain possession of the Dorgan con-
tract is an open secret. is not wasting a
single hour of theieesing days of the session.
He wants the consradt. He also wants the
legislature to assst him In getting 1t.
Whether the legislab bare will or not depends
upon the developms NIB of the next few days.

wanted only a very little encouragement
to impart her suspicious to him. 1t must,
in Justice to Mrs. Marland, be remembered
that she had always found the simplest
explanation of Charities devotion to the

"Oh, I've no positive proof, but | fear

Meanwhile, that gentleman himself was
telling Agatha Glyn very humorous story.
Agatha did not laugh. Suddenly she in
terrupted him.
"Why don't you ask me more about it ?'
81 thought you'd tell me if you wanted
me to know" he answered.
You are the most insufferable man.
Don't you care in the least what do or

"Got perfect confidence in you," said
Calder politely.

dence. Whether it was enough to prove
Mrs. Marland's case or nOt-whether, that
is, it is inconceivable that young man
should go to any place fourteen evenings
running and upset a friend of his youth
out of a canoe, except there be lady in
volved, is, perhaps, doubtful but it was
more than enough to show Sigismund
Taylor that the confession he had listened
to was based upon fact and that Charlie
Merceron was the other party to those
stolen interviews, into whose exact degree
OF Nervousness he was now inQuiring.
This knowledge caused Mr.. Taylor to feel
that he was in an awkward position.
Now" asked Mrs Marland "candidly,
Mr.. Taylor, can you suppose anything else
than that our friend Charlie was carrying
on a very pronounced Irritation with this
dressmaker?"
"Dressmaker?"
f'Her friend was, and I believe she was,
too. Something of the kind, anyhow"
"You-you never saw the-the other per-
SOM"
"No; she kept out of the way. That looks
bad, doesn't it? No doubt she was a tawdry,
vulgar creature. But man never notices
that"
At this moment two people were seen
approaching. One of them was a man of
middle height and perhaps 80 years of
age. He was stout and thick built; he had
a fat face, with bullying cheeks; his eyes
were rather like a frogs; he leaned very
much forward as he walked and swayed
gently from side to side with a rolling
swagger, and as his body rolled his eve
rolled too, and he looked this way and that
with jovial leer and a smile of content
ment and amusement on his face. The
smile and the merry eye redeemed his APP
pearance from blank ugliness, but neither
of them indicated a spiritual or exalted
mind
By his side walked a girl, dressed, as
Mrs. Marland enviously admitted, as really
and wearing, in virtue perhaps of the
dress, perhaps of other more precious
gifts, an air of assured perfection and
dainty disdain. She was listening TO her
companions conversation and did not
notice Sigismund Taylo with whom she
was well acquainted.
Dear me! who are those, | wonder ?"
exclaimed Mrs. Marland. ''She's very
distinguished"
Its Miss Glyn," answered he.
"What? Miss Agatha Glyn?'
Yes" he replied, wondering whether
that little coincidence as to the Agatha"
would suggest itself to any one else.

"Horrid old man, isn't heP"

And the man-who's he ?"

I'm sure | don't know said Mr. Tay-

paper, too"
He's no beauty, at any rate; but he's
great match, l suppose?''
"Oh, perhaps it isn't true"
You speak as if you wished it wasn't.
I've heard about Mr.. Wentworth from Vic
tor Sutton-you know whom mean ?'' and
Mrs. Marland proceeded to give some par
ticulars of Calder Wentworths career.
