SYNOPSIS OF PEvIoUs INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE En-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
lust the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give a
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
CHAPTER I.-Vladimir Saradot, a Rus
sian being heir to the fortune OF his neph-
ew, Maurice Hammond, an American, in
case of his nephew's death, conspires to
have him sent to Russia in order to get
him i'm his power. II.-Hammond and
his friend Philip Danvers arrive, at St.
Petersburg, and Saradoff lays plans to
have them arrested as conspirators against
the government. III and IV.-Ham-
mond at a review saves the life OF Colo
mel Jaroslav. Proceeding to Moscow,
they are arrested and sent to Siberia. On
the way the boat on which they travel
catches fire, and they, with two other con-
victs, escape in a skitf. V, VI and VII
Hammond and Danvers pursue their way
with the two other prisoners, who attack
an approaching wagon. Hammond anu
Danvers defend an officer in the wagon.
A troop of Cossacks appears and recapt-
ures all the prisoners. The officer tells

shot, but in view of their services to MN
he will do all he can for them. VIII, TX
and X.-They are sentenced to be shot.

ment at Kara, but riot in which they

CALIFORNIA AND ALASKA

The widespread excitement over the
discoveries of gold in the remote Klon-
dixie region strikingly recalls the
scenes of half a century ago. To the
few "forty-niners" still alive the talk
of the new Ell Dorado in the north
must bring thrilling memories OF the
time when they girdled the continent
or faced the terrors of the desert on
their way to the land of gold.
California in 1S49 was by many days
farther from the Atlantic seaboard
than is Alaska in 1897. Its English
speaking population was inconsidera-
bic and it had no systematic commu-
nication with the east until, as luck
would have it, in the autumn of lS4S,
the very year of the great discovery
the Pacific Mail Steamship company
sent it's first vessel around Cape Horn
from New York to San Francisco.
That vessel, the California, was the
first of an immense fleet. Ever craft
that could be pressed into the service
carried gold-seekers. In the winter
and spring of 1S49-5O $50 vessels left
eastern ports with passengers for Cali
fornia; As arrived in San Francisco in
single day. Meanwhile the short
cut across the Isthmus of Panama was
taken by thousands who were too i'm
patient to 90 by the long route "around
the Horn"
The overland travel was still great
er. Thousands gathered along the
Missouri river during the winter fol-
lowing the discovery and waited until
the grass on the plains had grown
sufficiently to feed their animals. No
more picturesque incident can be found
in American history than the long
summers journey across the desert.
The picture has its darker shades, for
the cholera overlook the wagon-trains
and there were many freshly-made
graves in regions where there were no
homes for the living.
BY sea and by land over $4,000
reached California before the end OF
the year. Many followed in the years

He dreU the fiat, hcaUD parcel from under
% stone.
IDENTIFY what bit Of Joy could be mingled
with his wretched existence. But the
watchful eye of the overseer, trained on
the work that was being done, failed to
note these signs.
When the coppery sun went down,
the labor ceased.
Now came the most difficult part OF
all, but Maurice was equal to the task.
Before the convicts formed in limo for
the homeward march be carelessly
climbed the hill with his cup, and
STOPPING, under pretense Of getting a
drink, he dexterously drew the fat,
heavy parcel from under stone and
hid it in tho folds of his shirt beneath
the heavy overcoat. There 1t rested
snugly all through the long tramp back
to the prison, and when tho evening
verification was over and the convicts
were eating their supper on the plat
forms his heart was beating fast at the
thought of what lay next to 1.-THE
precious means that might be destined
to lead to safety and freedom.

ECCENTRIC Observation-Disclosures
anecdotes are related of the eccentric
tiles and characteristic acts of Rev.
Lorenzo Dow, the famous itinerant
Methodist preacher. Mr.. Collins re-
lates that when he was widower, he
said to the congregation one day at
the close of his sermon:
81 am q candidate for matrimony;
and if there is any woman in this au-
dience who is willing to marry me, l
would thank her to RISE"
A woman rose very near the pulpit,
and another in a distant part of the
house. Mr.. Dow paused moment
then said: "There are two; l think
this one near me rose first; at any
rate, will have her for my wife,"
This woman was in good standing
and possessed of considerable proper
ty. Very soon after this eccentric
wooing she became Mrs. Dow.

Immediately succeeding. Out of all
the thousands a mere handful found
riches in the form in which they sought
it; but many found successful careers
in other pursuits. The movement had
in the end consequences of the widest
Importance for behind the wave of i'm
migration to California followed other
waves that peopled the territory be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Mis-.
sissippi basin. Attention was soon
drawn to the Kansas Nebraska region,
and then began the struggle for pos
session between north and south
which led up to the Civil war.
Fifty years ago it was thought that
the Golden Gate marked the limit of
the western expansion of the country.
But the purchase of Alaska in 1867
provided room for more one exodus of

SEVENTEEN RULES FOR A WIFE.

of unfailing interest, says the Boston
Transcript. The posthumous Gro
nance" of her life is mine of human
interest. 1t begins with her young
girl alteration of her captain that con-
tinued until her death, which comes
speedily after his, in old age. In her
seventeen rules for a wife" she set
down a certain code of action for a
woman whose life was to be linked
with that of a man, who, until 40
years of age, had roamed the world
from Mecca to Salt Lake. Several of
the seventeen rules embody minor
rules, but all of them are of spirited
significance The first one is about
friendship and companionship; the
second about care of him when ailing;
the third about making home snug
and attractive to intimates and peo-
pie that interest him as we'll as to
himself. The fourth rule is for self
improvement and education; the fifth
about following on journeys at an
hours notice, ready to rough it; the
sixth about generosity in affection and
care in personal appearance, and the
seventh about promoting her husbands
interest, professional, social and per.
sonal. The ten remaining sections of
advice from Isabel Burton to herself
contain so much philosophy that they
shall be given in full
"Never confde your domestic affairs
to your female friends.
"Hide his faults from every one and
back him up through every difficulty
and trouble.
"Never permit any one to speak dis
respectfully of him before you; and if
any one does, no matter how difficult,
leave the room. Never permit any
one to tell you anything about him,
especially of his conduct with regard
to other women. Never hurt his feel
ing by rude remark or jest. Never
answer when he fiHds fault, and never
reproach him when he is in the wrong,
especially when he tells you of it, nor
take advantage of it when you are
angry, and always keep his heart up
when when he has made failure.
"Keep all disagreements for your
own room, and never let others find
them out.
"Never ask him not to do anything
for instance, with regard to visiting
other women, or any one you particu-
larlv dislike: trust him and tell him
everything except another persons
secret.
"Do not bother him with religious
talk, be religious yourselfand give good
examples, and take life seriously and
earnestly, pray for and procure pray
ers for him, and do all you can for him
without his knowing it, and let all
your life be something that will win
mercy from God for him.
"Cultivate your own good health,
spirits and nerves, n to ena-
bic you to carry out your mission.
"Never open his letters nor appear
inquisitive about anything he does not
volunteer to tell you.
"Never interfere between him and
his family ; encourage their being with
him, and forward everything he wish
es to do for them, and treat them in
every respect (as far as they will let
you) as if they were your own.
"Keep everything going, and let
nothing ever be at standstill."

CHAPTER XIV.
A STOLEN INTERVIEW.

1t was bitterly cold, and the snow
was falling thickly, but weather counts
for nothing at the mines of Kara, and
the convicts, shivering III their thin gar
ments, worked with foverish energy,
hoping to put some warmth into their
aching limbs and bodies.
Phil and Platoff were driving their
picks into the hard stratum of clay aud
gravel, and Maurice, in company with
half a dozen others, was wheeling the
stiffcncd clods to distance. Close by
stood the watchful ovcrscers, stamping
their feet continually and clapping their

p@ To the experienced eye, the
roughish or granulated surface of the
perfectly fresh egg distinguishes it at
once from the more shiney or polished
surface of the egg that has been under
the hen a day or two. The secret is
very simple. Just scratch over the
surface with the finger nail; if it
CRATES, the egg is fresh but if the
nail slides smoothly, the egg is old.
A little practice makes this a sure
test.

s9 After driving horse, his feet
should be examined in search of stones
which he may have picked up. Some
horses rarely, if ever, pick up rock,
but others frequently get large ones
lodged between the frog and the shoe.
1t may be the shape of the foot or the
way he sets it down in going. When
stone is hurting, the horse goes lame,
but when it sticks out and makes his
foot roll, twiching in the shoulder is
noticed.

Republican Platform.

THE Republican party of Pueblo county In

allegiance TO Republican principles. The Re
publican party Is and ever has been n party
of performance and not of empty promises.
I'VE hereby endorse the American policy
of protection TO home Industries consist

Republican party at every opportunity since
the party nrst came into existence. Under
that policy this coLntry has prospered to II
degree that is unparalleled in the history Of
this or any other country. American mark
cts have been preserved to American manu-
fncturers and the American laborer has been
protected against the pauper labor of Europe.
I'VE demand that the system Of protection
he made complete by the wisc restriction of
foreign immigration.
"Four years of Democratic rule under "A so
called revenue tariG has cost this country
more than four years of war; the public debt
has been enormously increased In a time of
profound peace, our mills and factories have
been silent, and thousands of honest, indus
trious American laborers have been deprived
of their daily bread

ises only 1t can not be relied on to carry ont
any policy. Its history is made up OF broken
pledges. II has always failed in amy admin
istrative capacity whether national, state or
local.

of the city Of Pueblo for Its extravaganza and
mismanagcment, whereby the total appru-
priations for n year will be exhausted In niue
months or less, rendering inevitable an in
crease in the city's debt and a relapse into

LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE.
A Few Words About Ward Rice and
the OppOsition.

When man is running for office the
most ridiculous things are often said of
hlm, and the least expected and least
justifiable seem to be the rule.
1t is so with Ward Rice. II there is
one particular thing more than another
he did in office to win the gratitude of
the public, it was his leniency shown the
hard up taxpayers all through the close
times. For Instance, on account of the
hard times the first sale Of delinquent
taxes under his administration was de-
iayed from Novem ber, 1896 to February
1897, thus S wing to the taxpayers many
dollars in interest and penalties Indeed
Mr.. Rice has on all occasions delayed
the interest penalty and saved "A poor
man precious dollar when he could
These are facts well known to almost
every body, for most people put Off pay
ing their taxes as long as they could.
But notwithstanding this strong point
in our county treasurer the opposition is
assiduously spreading the report that
he is not friendly to the poor mau, that
ne is not in for showing him favors, etc.
Now, all we have to say is, just leave
it to the poor men and the men in mod
erat. circumstances 10 say whether the
accusations are true or false They
know, for they have had the experience.
We emphatically deny all such allega
tions and leave it to the public at large
to say who is right. Trust the people,
permit the public to sit as jury on the
case and Ward Rice will be extollsd for
his leniency and fairness, and the ver-
dict will be that it is to the poor mans
interest that he should be re elected.
among other things Ward Rice has
reduced the rvnning expense Of his off
CO $1,000 year and that certainly Is
something for all to appreciate. Rice is
sure to get an overwhelming majority in
Bessemer.
