. That good old theatrical standby, which
the public shows no symptoms of tiring
of, "The Count of Monte Cristo," was
presented at the Providence Opera House
last evening by the one man whose name
is so closely associated with the play and
a satisfactory company.
Tne temperance in each theatrical
season OF James C'Neill is one OF the
fixtures for play goers and it has been
sucn for 80 long that there is probably
no play more familiar and none in which
the various scenes and incident may
be so generally anticipated by the occu-
pants or the seats.
But II is a case in which familiarity
does not breed contempt. 1t isa very
poor story that won't bear repetition
when it Is helped out by stage accesso-
ries. and Dumas. never wrote poor
stories. There Is much which Is pleasing
in the scenery and the costuming OF this
production, and through 1t all there is
the genuine ring of romanticism, and
because OF that genuiDeness and also be-
cause OF that ,inge OF the oldisshioned
things the story OF Monte Cristo, as told
year after year by James O'Neill does not
lose its attractiveness.
All OF the men and women associated
with the star contribute their share to
the success which attends the perform
ancc.
This evening Mr.. O'Neill Will play
"Hamlet," tomorrow afternoon, "vir-
Rinius,~ and tomorrow evening Monte
Cristo'' will be repeated.

four minutes, with beating hearts,
the little command watched and waited
and drew longer breath, and then dark

Then came Is minutes trot, winding

than once dark form loomed up in their
path, and Bremmer wheeled his horse
about and rode by the captains side,
eagerly explaining in low tone. Will
caught the words: Right ahead. You
can hear them distinctly, sir" and for
the life of him Will could not quite
control the futter of his heart. "Haltl
Dismount and wait herer' were the
next orders, almost whispered, and
again Farwell pushed out into the
front, and again the column swung out

presently the men began to stamp about
in the snow and thrash their stifening
fingers.

they try to escape. Many wounded,
escape instant death, to die slowly
from pain and starvation. This is the
sport of strong men. The principal
sport of our civilized, christianized
country!
But this high (?) order of sport is
not confined to the more advanced
sportsmen, and to certain kinds of
little birds. But guns are so cheap
that every little boy, white and col
ored, can use one. The small boy
goes out to see what he can do in the
way of bird killing, and woe to any
little bird that he can find-be it
mocking bird, thrush or sparrow
it's happy, useful life is sacrificed to
the momentary qualification of killing
q bird. He feels as proud of being
able to bring down the sitting, singing
thrush as his big brother does in bring
ing down the frightened, flying par
fridge.
The destruction of birds nests is
another shameful form of bird exter-
mination. The propensity of boys to
destroy birds nests is one of the strong
evidences of the naturally savage ma
ture of man. They take q savage
delight in tearing down the nests,
breaking the eggs and killing the
young birds.
To furnish sport for men and boys,
the birds of all kinds are being de-
stroyed. At the present rate of de-
struction, in a few years bird will be
a rarity. Nothing to stand between
us and the insect pests which are
continually becoming more serious.
No sweet warblers pouring out their
glad songs. This, I repeat, is a seri-
Gus matter. Far more serious than
questions of county division, etc.
The country needs "reform" along
this line. Our laws forbid the killing
of birds Except few kinds). Every
good citizen should see that the law is
enforced. The enforcement of the
penalty a few times, would have a
salutary effect on community.
Landowners ought to "post" their
lands-not permitting a bird-killer to
to put foot upon them. Shut them
out, as enemies to the public good.
Parents, teachers and others having
influence over children, should i'm
press them with proper sentiments to-
wards the birds. All having public
good at heart, should contribute their
influence towards a better public SEN
timent. The prevailing treatment of
the birds is crime against God, ma
ture and man, and disgrace to our
civilization, PROTESTANT.

warwhoops Of younger Indians some
where, anywhere, everywhere, down the
slopes to the east. Then q bright COL
umn Of flame shot high In air over
among the rocks to the north Of the gate,
and afar out over the eastward prairie
Big Road and his braves came dashing,
driving, laundering to the rescue.
"They'll not try the gulch, SOFT, I"
shouted Rorke in his ear. "Only few
will push in here. Most of 'em will
come this way and get around us to our
right"
"Open out, menl Push out southwark
there as fast as you can" shouted Will,
as he ran bounding through the snow
toward the right Of his invisible line.
"Watch for them! They'll come with
rush when they come at allp'
And Rorke, whose business it was to
remain with his comrades in battle
where first he was posted, near the brow
Of the steep, went running after his
young commander as hard as he could
20, with no man to stop him.
In the excitement and darkness, in
the thrill Of the moment, some of the
men seemed disposed to huddle together
rather than to increase their intervals,
for plainly now could be heard dull
thunder Of notes.-the roar of the COM
ing storm. Then, too, shadowy specters
of horsemen could be dimly seen dart
ing into partial view and out again, like
the fash that greeted them. But far up
the gorge, behind Farrar's line, the
sound of battle grew fercer and louder.
Then, down from the depths Of the can
yon, there came sudden clamor Of shot
and cheer and challenge and yells OF
rage and defiance, and then all on
sudden out from among the stunted
trees, with painting, struggling, bound.
ing ponies, with lashing, bending, yell
ing braves, there burst upon them the
main body Of the Indians, threescore
warriors at least, and despite the ring
of shots on and through and over they
rushed the slim and extended skirmish
line, and Will Farrar, springing from
the shelter Of little cedar, was struck
full in the breast by a muscular shoul-
der and knocked backward into the
snow. He struggled to his feet, cropping
for his revolver, just in time to meet the
dash of half a dozen. racing braves, all
yelling like fiends. Something crashed
upon his skull and struck a million
sparks or stars, and everything whirled
out Of sight and sound and sense as the
young officer went down, face foremost,
into the drifts.

CHAPTER XIV.

The Twelfth spent its New Years
day hot on the Indian trail. Into the
foothills it wound, tortuous and full OF
peril, for from every projecting point,
from rock to rock and crest to crest, the
warrior rear guard poured their fire on
the advancing line. Charges were fruit
less. The nimble ponies Of the Indians
bore their riders swiftly out Of harms
way, and only among the charging force
did casualties occur. Still. Fenton had
hung like bulldog to his task, hoping
before nightfall to catch up with the
main body and the moving village, then
to hem it in. Numerically he was lit
tie better off than the Indians, as 30
Indians can surround 500 troopers much
more effectively than 500 troopers can
surround SO mounted warriors Through
Bat and others he had vainly striven to
communicate with Big Road, to assure
him no harm would be done; that all
that was necessary was for him to re-
turn with his people under escort OF the
regiment to the reservation. Up to a
.. m. not a shot had been fired by the
Twelfth, even in response to a some
times calling fusillade from the Indians.
By that time several men had been un-
horsed and two or three wounded, and
the thing was getting exasperating;. yet,
was it worth keeping up, for Bat ard
other scouts declared the fleeing village
to be less than three miles ahead now,
and, with that overhauled, the warriors
could be brought To bay well south OF
the mountains, anC to the accomplish
ment of this, without sacrificing men or
horses to any great extent, Fenton was
bending every energy when overtaken
by the first courier from Frayne.
Wayne had marked the dispatches in
the order in which they should be read,
but the only ones which much concern
ed him now were from department
headquarters. A new king who knew
not Joseph, a new general with whom
Fenton had never chanced to serve, was
there in command, and he, coming a
comparative stranger to the community,
knew little of the merits Of the politl-
clans by whom he was speedily besieged.
They were present in force, armed with
letters and dispatches by the score from
so called prominent citizens resident
along the Platte, and Fenton was prac-
tically unrepresented. 1t was in no spir-
it of unkindness, but rather that Fen
ton might have opportunity to come
thither and confront and confound, If
he could, his accusers, that the general
had issued the first order, which was
that Fenton should Immediately escort

A GOOD POKER STORY.

many states and territories" said the
man whose business takes him over q
vast extent of country. ~ have sat
in games from Atlantic to Pacific,
from Maine to Mexico, and have seen
everybody from the statesman to the
tramp deal and shuttle. But never in
all nv career have seen poker played
as it is played at Hot Springs, Ark"
"The game down there is something
fierce. / sat in a six-handed game
there one night, and solemnly declare
that was the only honest man in the
deal. Ihad heard that the Hot Springs
gamblers were pretty tricky, but, be.
ing an old hand myself, I concluded
that would take chance and trust
to my experience and perceptions to
detect them.
"Inside of half an hour I was on to
all their games. The man across from
the table had big celluloid cuffs and
rubber band arond his arm. When an
ace or king came his way it went into
a cuff and was snapped up by the
rubber band in no time. The man
next to me on the left had breast
plate-a pad with slots and Sits to
put cards in, and he was simply stuff
ing away the better portion of the
decks. The man on my right had a
sleeve holdout that worked with claws
and was securing all over the table in
search of good ones. At the end of
the table fellow was dropping cards
into his lap and trusting to good luck
and dexterity to regain them unde-
tected. But the man at the other
end was the best of all. He had
diamond ring, and may be a fish if
the stone wasn't sharpened to point
Ikea needle. When he had chance
at the deck he turned that ring around,
spiked a card on the diamond and
drew back his hand with the card fas-
tened to the ring.
"The best of all is that they were
not in partnership-not bit. Every
man was going it hard on his own
hook and thought that he had fallen
into a nest of suckers whose money
would be easy for him. 1t was a
chance meeting of short-card men and
they were digging away without the
slightest knowledge or suspicion that
the other fellows were not perfectly
square and easy game.
"Do you know that a cheater is the
softest meat in the world, when once
you know his game, to beat at his own
tricks He is so occupied in working
his own deviltries and so afraid that
somebody will catch him that he pays
no attention to what you may be do
