quickly and to the point. A sudden
suspicion that not the tramp, but an
other tried to rob them of her fortune
flashed through her brain. There was
the odor of the chloroform, and be-
sides the cashier held his hand con-
cealed in his coat pocket.

They called the clerk and sent for

yer.
At his home were found bottle half
filed with chlorOform, a blood-stained
cuff a bowie knife, bunch Of skeleton

Years afterwards, when Nora Wilson
and James Cliff celebrated their mar

cause for the crime Of the bank cash
Ter. He had been in love with the pref

was then an impecuniOus attorney he

he thrust her into the pantry, the door
of which stood wide open
Miss Wilson made no reply, but with
an almost superhuman effort attempt
ed to wrench the weapon from him.
She succeeded in clutchng few inch
es more of the long handle OF the
knife, and the man uttered terrible
oath. The blade had sunk into his
hand. Snatching his left arm from her
waist he struck her fearful blow
with his fist.
Realizing that she could no longer
cope with the robber, Nora turned
quickly and dashed past him toward
the door that led out into the yard.
1t was open, but on the threshold the
girl stumbled and fell prone to the
floor. When she awoke a few moments
afterwards from the stupor caused by
the fall, two men were bending over
her. They were graphing, and by
their voices Miss Wilson recognized
in one of them her aunt'S gardener.
The girl, brave as ever, came to his
assistance.
brought one of their neighbors to the
scene of the struggle. The marauder
was soon overcome, and when the ser
want maid appeared with lamp, Nora
and the gardener recognized in him the
tramp who had accosted them in the
afternoon in front of the bank.
Take him to prison." commanded
Miss Wilson. "N1y aunt and l will lodge
complaint against him in the morn
ing"
While the two men carried off their
prisoner Nora hurried to her aunr's
room. BY this time the effect of the
chloroform had disappeared, and Miss
Magruder was acquainted with the
events of the night. The little satchel
with its precious contents was moved
a considerable distance from where it
had originally been placed, and the
spinster admitted that the cashier was
right after all in admOniShing her as
he did. To relieve herself from fur
ther responsibility she sent for her
niece's betrothed early in the morning.
In the meantime the prisoner had a
preliminary hearing before the judge.
Miss Wilson depoSed that she had met
the man in the afternoon; that he had
! seen the satchel which they carried
from the bank, slowed away under
the buggy seat. She then narrated
her struggle with the intruder and his
final arrest by neighbor and her
aunt's gardener. The latter corrObo-
rated her statement. The prisoner
firmly declared his innocence, even in
the face of these grave charges. He
denied having struggled with the
young lady in her aunt's room, and
said that he had sought shelter in Miss
Magruder's woodshed for the night.
When he heard Miss Wilson's cries for
help, he thought fire had broken out,
and rushed from the shed to aid in
suppressing 1t.
Without word Nora Wilson point
ed to the prisoners right hand, which
was bandaged with dirty rag. The
Judge understood her meaning and
asked the tramp how he had injured
his hand
/ His answer was that he had cut
himself with an AK, as he cleared the

WANT TO HAUL THE ENDEAVORERS
Railroads Row Over East Bound
StOpOVer Privileges.

Chicago, July l2.-There is bound to be
some trouble over the east-bound business
from the Christian Endeavor convention.
When the rates and arrangements were
made for the convention the transcontl-
mental roads made no arrangements to re-
ceive the west bound business, and the
rates to the Pacific coast were not made
available from st. Paul and Minneapolis.
1t was clearly understood, however,
that the northern roads were out for all
the east bound business that it would be
possible for them to secure, and to reward
them for letting the west bound business
alone, the other transcontinental roads
agreed that no stop-overs should be al
lowed on east-bound traffic coming via
Colorado and Utah. 1t was announced
this morning, however, that the Colorado
Midland, the Rio Grande Western and
the Denver g. Rio Grande had sold a large
number of tickets which allow stop-overs
at nearly all of the interesting places in
Colorado and Utah. The effect of this
will be to divert the travel from the
northern roads, and it is half expected
that they will meet the violation of the
agreement by a reduction in the east
bound rates from the convention.
Chairman Caldwell of the Western Pas
senger Association has called meeting
for Monday to consider the matter

His statement was not credited, and
he was remanded to Jail.
An hour later Nora and her betroth-
ed were on the way to the bank. They
had with them the satchel of gold,
ready to again entrust 1t to the custody
Of the bank cashier.
Good morning, Mr.. Holt" said the
girl. Here is the money! You were

night"
"Ah. haw cried Mr.. Holt, coming

The Steiner discovery near Sheridan,
Mont, has created big excitement
throughout that country, and that an
awakening all along the line in mining
has been the result. The new smelter
about completed at Twin Bridges, it seems
is to be but the nucleus of series of like
works, as Sheridan, Virginia City and
other points are talking up smelling pro
