JENNY AND THE COWS.
KANSAS

The cows are coming home, Jenny
hear their clanking bells:
White Face
And Bright Face:
Coming, coming, coming from the clover in
tho dells;
Coming, Jenny girl,
And what care they for curl,
Or that red rose that you wear in your
hair, Jenny girl!
The cows are coming fcrne,
Jenny, the cows are coming home:
Lazy Bell
And Daisy Bell
Coming, coming. coming from the fields
where wild doves roam;
Coming, Jenny dear,
And 1 wonder why you wear
Such ribbons and such roses in your hair,
Jenny dear
The cows are coming home,
Jenny, by the lowing calves they're LED,
White Face
Anc Bright Face:
Coming, coming, coming-but beware that
rose Of red!
Or do the cattle care
For ou1an's ribboned hair?
Nay! there's some one watching-watch-
ing FOR your coming. Jenny dear!
The cows are coming home,
Jenny; but little do you care
For Lazy Bell,
Or Daisy Bell
From fragrant fields of clover, while in all
the twilight air
A sweeter music SweilS
Than the ringing of their bells
From lips that cry for kisses from your red
lips, Jenny dear!
Meier mind the cattle, Jenny; they'll come
for all the girls;
Daisy Bell
And Lazy Bell:
The calves II call them homeward spite OF
ribbons and Of curls;
Think you the cattle care
For the rose that's in your hair?
Nayi but one there is who loves you, and
he's waiting, Jenny dear!

had no stomach for such combat as
was now offered them. Reluctantly,
step by step. they retreated toward the
door. Then, suddenly, with an oath,
the leader wheeled about, and, gnash-
ing his teeth in baffied rage, strobe from
the room.
Here, you two,'' cried Johnson,
''carry off your wounded"
I doubt if they understood his words,
but his gesture as he pointed to the
man lying unconscious on the floor was
plain enough. Sullenly they picked up
their comrade and bore him into the
to the door, and watched them hurry
away toward the stream on the north
side of the little hill.
"Come in a boat, eh?' said he.
''That's it; you can hear the oars. I'll
bet they've something to do with that
schooner lying off there in the bay.
Well, Mr.. Lamar, they're off. and I
guess they've had enough, thank ye, for
one evenin'."

He seemed relieved at the answer.

''Yet it has profited me-" he an
swered. "I am stronger, better

cold steel for the work they expected
to do. Even on that lonely knoll a
fusillade of pistol-shots might have at
tracted attention from the people of the
knot of houses half a mile away. I
know that the blades had most wicked
look, and that the sweat gathered on
my forehead as I watched them and
wondered which of them might be des-
tined for me. was frightened, thor
oughly frightened; such courage as
possessed vanished at the CLEAN of the
weapons, and, could have fled, not
moment would have tarried. But
there was no escape; I was forced to re-
main and to see the end, which, though
it involved the defeat of the enemy, ]
had no hand in bringing about.
Well-laid plans once disarranged are
generally worse than none at all. The
programme of the assailants, no doubt,
had been prepared most carefully.
After posting one of their number on
the landward side of the knoll, the only
direction from which, in their ignorance
of the line of communication with John
sons cottage, they would reasonably
look for interference, they had adj
vanced, and forced an entrance to the
house. Once within, their prey was so
completely in their grasp that, 1 dare
say, they felt able to go about their
business with cold-blooded de1bera-
ton. I do not hatter myself with the
belief that my presence disturbed them
in the least. But, while the arraign-
ment of Lamar may have been intense
ly satisfying as a prelude to their ven
geance, it was a sad b1under; for it
gave johnson time to reach the scene
and to change the whole aspect of the
affair.
Had they pressed the attack as soon
as their comrade was overthrown, it is
altogether likely that one of them
might have reached Lamar; but. I'M
luckily for them, they failed to seize the
opportunity in the second or two of its
existence. Their hesitation, brief as it
was, meant defeat; for no sooner had
his man fallen than johnson drew a
brace of revolvers from his pockets, and
when the strangers started forward
they looked into the muzzles of the
pistols. Lamar, too, thus protected,
had pulled out key and was unlocking
drawer of the table; and presently he
added another ugly-looking weapon to
the array trained upon the foe.
Sorry there amt none for you, doc
tor I heard johnson remark, ''but 1
guess we can attend to our friends
now.''
For moment thought that two of
our adversaries would risk the bullets,
though the last conner quailed at the
first sight of the firearms; but even for
them the odds were now too great.
They dared not even risk trying to
reach their own pistols. They probably

XXI.-CoNTINUED.

The table was heavy piece of furni-
ture, the length of it running on the
line of the front door and another in
the rear wall opening into the kitchen.
Lamar sat in his usual place, to the
left of the table as one entered, with
his back to the fireplace. The chair I
teak was at the end of the table near
the entraee. The room was well light
ed by a powerful lamp hanging from
the ceiling. The foCr was carpeted.
There was bookcase in one corner,
and two or three chairs stood against
the walls, but the room was bare of
ornament.
Lamar took the phial of medicine,
and heard the directions for its use.
1t was hardly necessary to tell such
man that there was sufficient strychnine
IN it to make an overdose a very serious
blunder, but, as matter of form, I
gave him the warning.

after a pause.

Again there was 4 pause, during
which he sat apparently in no wise
shaken by such evil tidings. When az
last he spoke it was to ask me about
my other patients.

He fell silent for space, and then
he asked:
'sThere was another lady-she is
young-with Mrs. Loring. Has she
departed?''
''Oh, no. She will remain here for
for some time
s'Ah!"
The tone gave no reason to suppose
that he gagged my interest in the
young woman, although I suspected
that he measured it accurately.
''Have you any comnands?' ' asked,
rather hastily rising and moving to-
ward the door.

He, too, rose, with the intention OF

The sufferings of body and mind caused

It is Bailey, of Texas, who has the SUP
port of a majority of the Democrats in

leader. Mr.. Bailey figures that he is
quite as much of an orator as Mr.. Bry-
an, and quite as much entitled to the
nomination. After the nomination Of
Bryan, no sensible man would doubt
the possibility of any action by Demi

are fitted for so responsible place as

Bryan, although getting the Presiden-

In the Senate is not altogether as rapid
as Republicans would like it to be, it
is, circumstances considered, satisfac-
tory. More so, in fact. than many had
expected it to be, just as the bill is be-
ing made better than many Republic
cans expected it would be when the
amended bill was reported to the Sem
ate. The original Dingley bill was far
more satisfactory to oRepublicansof the
rank and file than the bill as amended
by the Senate iCommittee, and they are
correspondingly pleased at the tendency
of the steering committee of the Sem
ate to restore the House schedule, or
at least to make them nearer them
than to the schedules of the amended
bill. While it cannot be officially an
nounced that the sugar schedule of the
original bill will be restored. it seems
to be almost certain that the Dingley
schedule will be made the basis for the
sugar schedule that will be inserted
in place of the one prepared by
the Senate Finance Committee, which
many Republicans considered one Of
the most Objectionable in the amended
bill. All of this makes it certain that
the prophecy in this correspondence
that the bill as finally passed would be
good one will turn out to be true.
