closing up their rank, marched silently
ahead in quick time.
> ''Where's the jail?" asked Lambert >:
his subordinate.
" Round there behind th2 next corner,
SIR, where the bell is.''
Three or four prominent citizens
came strolling out of the saloon near
the post office, their hands in their
pockets and guilds of exaggerated size
in their cheeks. The bel, under the
impulse of unseen hands, was still vio-
lently ringing; otherwise an almost
Sabbath stiffness pervadcd the town of
Tugaloo. At the corner lay gaunt

sole Indication of recent battle. The
TAIL door stood obliquely open to the de-
clining sun. The barred windows were
tightly closed.
"'Put stop to anything they're at :"
repeated Lambert to himself. But
what arc they at? How on earth can T
find out?"
Like those of the jail behind it the
windows of the little meeting house
were closed, and apparently boarded up
from within. The double doors IN
front were tightly shut and decorated
in one or two places with bullet holes.
The bell kept up it's furious din. Ham

There was nothing hostile or threaten

disposed to be friendly-as when they
saw Lambert take a rifle with evident
intention of battering in the door, they
shouted TO him in genuine concern:

Long before they reached the public
square the firing had ceased. Overtak-
ing his little command, which the ser
geant had wisely halted 'for orders"
as soon as the shots were heard, LAM
bert led them a. double time.
''Put u stop to anything they're at

The deputy marshal had disappeared.
''A1r. Parmelec somewhere ahead?"

trotting by his side.
somewhere behind, sir. He'll come
gallopin' in after we get there-per-
haps."
The road led into town from th,
northeast. Lambert could see the rail-
way embankment and the old wooden
bridge before they rounded the turn
from which they came in sight of the
belfry and the roofs. Somebody had
begun to ring the bell, and there came
the sound of shouting with an OCCASION
al shrill yell. Then nor: shots, IA
short sputtering fusillade, and more
shouts, SUCCESSFULLY derisivc and farther
away.
whats going on, do you SUPPOSE"
asked Lambert of his bulky second in
command; and Mcbride, with one hand
steadying the absurd long sword then
worn by our sergeants, and the other
clamping his rifle at the right shoulder,
puffingly answered.:
"Havin' some fun with the sheriff.
He had niger posse guardin' the jail.
Folks wouldn't stand it,
Another minute of running brought
them to the outskirts of the struggling
town. Women and children could be
seen peering excitedly towards the
square. Two very small boys, hearing
the heavy tramp, tramp of the infantry,
turned and scuttled away for the shell
ter of an open door. Three hundred
yards ahead a man in his shirt sleeves
popped around corner, looked keenly
at the coming squad and popped back
again. When Lambert, leading his men
by dozen PAGES, came dancing around
that same corner and found himself at
the northeast angle of the plaza, this
same citizen was seated on the nearest
porch, placidly smoking ccrn-cob pipe
and reading a newspaper, his boots
braced against a wooden pillar and his
chair tilted back against the wall.
In similar attitudes of exaggerated
calm, farther along in the direction OF
the post Office, were one or two other
gentlemen of Tugaloo. Only around
Cohen's mercantile emporium was there
faintest sign of excitement. There one
or two trembling, pallid clerks were
busting about and putting up the
shutters. The gang of negroes ordina-
rily loafing around the plaza had totally
vanished. Lambert, expecting to in,l
himself In the presence Of surging
mob, came to sudden halt in sheer
surprise. The squad slowed down. al

'tWhy, you may not get back in a

teilin' where those fellows have run to.
You ought to have some suitable clothes
for this sort O. work-like 1nine.''

thought we were needed at once.''

have stirred up quite row; but you
needn't worry. There'l be no trouble
once they see the regulars, and if there

face fairly frightened up for the min
ute. ''There's your squad ready.
Parm'lee'll tell you what lie wants done.
Reck'lect, if there's any trouble you
draw on me.''
II shall need some morey, I'm afraid,
if we're gone any time. That's the first
thing I'll have to draw for"
Closes countenance fell. 'sTen dol
lars ought to be huff for you anywhere
here. l could get along with fifty
cents" said he, slowly. Suddenly he
frightened up again
"Just sit down an make out them mile

lieutenant'll cvertake you. Sit right
down over there in Sergt. Burns tent,

Bride tramped cut upon the dusty red
road, most of the men following as
though to see them around the bend.
while Lambert, vaguely troubled, and
feeling, somehow, that he ought to be
with his detachment even though his
superior officer called him back, stood
locking anxious]y after them.
II thought you had twenty or so left
in your wallet, lieutenant" said Close.
''Just look, will you? You needn't be
in any hurry. Mcbride knows just what

Lambert had slipped his hand into his

flashed across his mind that he. must
have whisked it out with his handker-
chief, which he carried, after the West
Point fashion of those days, in the
breast of his coat, just after he started
on the run back to camp. Even as he
began to tell Of his loss the men came
springing down the bank and bursting
through the bushes in their haste to
reach their arms and equipments.
''Whats up Dow?" hailed Close, still
slowly writing and never moving from
his seat.
Firing over near town, sir" called
a sergeant.
"That 500" asked the veteran, impe1-
turbably. Get 'em under arms, SER
geant. Guess you'd better catch up
with Mcbride, lieutenant" said he to
Lambert, whose boyish face could not
but betray his excitement. Hold on
second," he shouted, for Lambert hail
darted at the word. "Wait, lieutenant"
shouted Burns, and, wondering, Lam
bert looked back. Close was holding
out the pen to him.
Sign these, first off, will you?" said
he.

ON SEEING OURSELVES.
Viewing Our Traits of Character {
in n Mirror

Viewing Our Traits of Character MS
in a Mirror.
No amount of posing before mir
Tor will give a person much of an idea
of the impression that his features or
presence make upon others. In like
way it is impossible for him to see his
own traits of character as others see
them. We cannot get outside of our
selves and look at ourselves against
the background of circumstances and
conditions which are patent to every
body else. In his famous lines Burns
says that a glimpse of ourselves as
''ithers see u.s. would free us ''frae
monte a blunder" and foolish notion.
That, however, is only a half-truth.
Such a sight of ourselves might, on the
other hand, make us less brave in car
rying out our ideas of truth and JUS
tice. We are often deferred from idel-
i1y to our own best ideals by imagln-
ing how this and that course of action
will strike some one else. The attempt
to see ourselves as others see u.s. weak
ems our best resolutions, and makes
tinid conformity to others notions
take the place of that high and fine in
dependence of spirit which lies near
the basis of all true nobility of charac-
ter. It is not wholly a disadvantage
that Burns prayer cannot be answered.
The sight of ourselves would save us
from some blunders and follies, but at
the same time it would almost invari-
ably weaken our courage in espousing
an unpopular cause, and in standing
against public opinion for our own no.
tons. Our notions are not necessarily
foolish because they seem so to those
who look Oh from the outside.-Boston

MAPLEsON'S OPERA COSTUMES
Creditors Want the Treasury De.
DartmeDt to Helm Them.

An interesting question, involving the
ownership ofoperatic costumes and scenery,
is before the Treasury Department, aris-
ing out Of the recent collapse OF Col.
Maplesons opera troupe, in Boston, Mass,
some five m months ago.
This English opera company came to the
United States and brought with them the
necessary costumes and scenery for elab-
crate operatic performances. These i'm
portations were admitted free of duty
under the customs laws, which permits
such entry on condition of filing bond
for the expectation of the articles after
six months use. The opera company tav-
ing become involved in financial diff
culties in Boston, the costumes and scenery
have been attached for debt and ordered
sold.
The Treasury is now asked by the bonds
| men to interfere for their protection, but
the Treasury does n OF see its way clear to
step in between the opera company andits
creditors. Should the costumes and scenery
be sold, the bondsmen will be responsible
to the government for the payment of
duties at the expiration OF the six months
Other complications as to the rights OF
| individuals to certain costumes, have also
| arisen to further confuse the matter.
