mightnt treat him well. Anyway. think you'd

BIZ gLlopcd away on his errand and after
putting In an hour or so to give him good
start Carney and his prisoner struck camp and
followed UP.
Bill met them about five miles out OF Maple
Creek. and reported that there wasn't soul
IN the troop stationed there that knew Hcth"r-
ington. But they dead on to CarLey's racket
though" he said. and when | told them that
we'd captured him. they thought twas pretty

easier you take this thing. and the less racket
you make. the better yOu'll get along. II you
get rusty and insist that you're sergeant some
Of the fellows'll round on you. and the bad
luck the thirteen eggs brought you'll be nothing
to the trouble that you'l get into then"
As soon az they got into the fort Hetherington
saw at once that Carney must have been in the
force at one time
He asked for the sergeant major as soon as
they rode into the barracks square, and asked
him to report to the superintendent that he had

wanted for DEMONSTRATING and shooting man

It VAS in vain that the sergeant swore that he
was Sergeant Hetherington himself; the more
he sworc against the fate that had tangled him
up the more they laughed at him, and told him
to drop ii.
Carncy's reputation for slipping out OF the tolls
stretched from Winnipeg to the highest point OF
the Rockies, but he'd find that he couldn't do
them up at Maple Greek; they were on to his
little game.
Are you quite sure you're not Major Steel
himself. or Commissioner Hacker asked the
superintendent looking at him with knowing
smile.

you know. an then when the man objected you
plugged him."
You seem to know all about It," said the
sergeant. Il suppose you are Bull Dog him
self"
You seem a bit mixed my friend" replied
the stranger coolly. You're Bull Dog Carney,
and I'm Sergeant Hetherington, In charge OF
this outft"; and he pulled from his pocket the
sergeants papers. neatly inclosed In blue
Government envelope and smiled derisively al
Hetherington.
You won't be able to work that racket at
the barracks at Maple Creek for some OF the
fellows'll be sure to know me there"
WELL II they do, you'll have longer ride
that's ALL" answered his captor, for mean 10

often enough before"
That afternoon they came to Dead Mans
Crossing, and Williams was left there in charge
Of man they found in the shack. He had
evidently been expecting Carney. but he opened
his eyes with much wonder when he saw the
prisoners. and when he understood the situa-
ton he went around with a broad grin on his
face that particularly tantalising.
Maple Creek was seventy miles from Dead
Mans Crossing. They stopped all night at
Dead Mans Crossing. and made sixty miles OF
the seventy next day.
In the morning the sergeant had another les
son in the deep diplomacy with which Carney
negotiated matters.
Ride on, Bill" he heard him say to his mate,
and inquire IL Sergeant Hetherngton has come
in yet with his prisoner. You can tell them that
YOU were out a little reconnOitre for Carney s
mate and that ! expected to be there at the
barracks about 10 o'clock. If there's anybody
there knows me-Sergeant Hetherngt On-just

to transfer the eggs from the watery nest to the
impromptu bag
Il miss my guess, or you'll run up agin hard
luck this trip. I wouldn't touch a nest with
thirteen eggs In It with a ten-foot pole" said
the constable, a. they made their way out
through the scrub growth on the edge Of the
lakes
Having O BATH gentlemen asked a CHEEKY
voice from the wilderness, as they emerged into
the open.
1t was the man who had looked upon them
the previous night as they lay sleeping.
The sergeant was 30 astonshed that the cor
ner Of the shirt slipped from his hand. and
the thirteen eggs rolled into batter at his
feet.
And It was no wonder that he was astonshed.
for he was looking upon two policemen.
The three V-shaped stripes on the right arm
Of one Of them-the speaker-showed that ne
sergeant. Something about the clothes
struck him being strangely familiar He
could almost swear to spot or two on the
front Of the tight fitting brown jacket.
sorry to trouble YOU gentlemen" said the
same CHEEKY voice, the owner OF ii toyed
with the butt Of a dig regulation revolver at his
side; but my partner here. and myself took
notion we'd like to join the force; so We just
slipped into your clothes till we'd see how we'd
look. and the two suits will hardly so round
the four OF us. suppose you stack our buds
they're just over there by the camp fire"
As he spoke he absent mindcdly drew forth
the big revolver and rubbed his thumb refcc-
lively over the hammer. and waited for them to
make their toilet.
"Ye're up to larlNs this morning." said the
sergeant, thinking that the bad luck Of the
thirteen eggs was already getting its work In
on him. lie noticed that their carbines and
rcvolvers and cartridge belts had all been taken

them laughed so heartily that the superintend.
ent so pleased with himself that he told
the prisoner he might sit down.
Your police duties must make you tired" b
said, with wink at Carney.
"All the same, sir" said the poor sergeant,
tears almost starting to his eyes as he saw how
completely he In the others clutches,
you'll be sorry for this when you find out what
mistake you're making"
"Oh no doubt no doubt" said the superin-
tendent when they find out that you're really
a sergeant in the force. I'll be reduced to ths
ranks for this and you'll be made inspector"
AT least, SIR" said Hetherngton you might
keep this man who claims to be a sergeant here
until this matter is cleared up"
Capital. captal!" said the superintendent
"a capital idea. Well keep him here so that
your mate can get clean away; then I shall get
promotion for that brilliant idea You're bagged,
but you'd rather that your mate got away. ehf
Sergeant Hetherington here tells me that he was
pretty hot your mates trail and one Of The
objects for bringing you In here was that he
might have his hands clear to follow it up"
SO the sergeant was put behind the bars. and
Carney and Bill were made free Of the canteen
and the superintendent congratulated himself
upon the prospect; of being able to forward on
Bull Dog Carney who had been wanted at
headquarters for some time.
Then toward evening, when the fierce heat OF
the monday sun had sped itself Carney and BIN
rode forth to hunt up the other man, 'thS

good police horses that went with them nor the

BRIEF SPEECH BY M'KINLEY
JUST BEFORE THE DEPARTURE OF
THE TRAIN FOR THE EAST.
Crowds at All the Railway Stations,
but No Stop This side of Pitts
burE-The Special Train.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CANTON, o., March 1.-This pretty little
city, which has been the Mecca of thou
sands of people in the past nine months,
has lost her greatness in the eyes of the
political world. and for the next four years,
at least. will quietly attend to her knit
ting" Major and Mrs. William Mckinley
have temporarily surrendered their Canton
residence and are en- route TO the national
capital ON a special train.
March came in here like an angry lion,
but before the President-elect went out of
the city the roaring had subsided and
there was lamblike gentleness about the
weather. Early in the day there were
piercing blasts of wind and fitful flurries
of snow and occasionally the wind would
drive sleet and rain into the faces OF pc
destrians. At noon the sun forced its rays
through the clouds. and by night the at
mosphere, though damp, was mild And it
was we'll the change came. for every man.
woman and child in Canton had long ago
determined to bid the McKinleys goodbye
when they started for Washington. There
fore the change in tie weather was relief
to the thousands who thronged the streets
ard approaches to the railway station this
afternoon and tonight. 1t was not until
o'clock this evening that the demonstra-
ton proper began with the organization of
the escort But long before that time the
uptown streets began to fill with people
waiting curiously and not too patiently for
the parade. Others were lingering about
the station, anxious to catch a glimpse OF
or mayhap make an inspection of the hand
some care But the train was not long in
the station, nor was there opportunity for
more than a cursory review. 1t arrived
from the Alliance yards of the Pennsylva-
mia road about SEQ o'clock p. m, where the
cars were submitted to careful inspection
and test during the day.
Before the train started Major Mckinley
made a brief feeling address to the throng
at the station. Don't forget the working
men, major" cried one man as the Presi-
dent-elect mounted the train. He bowed his
Acknowledgements. Those about him saw
that he was visibly affected and as he
came from the train platform TO greet his
wife after the Canton farewell his eyes
were moist and voice tremulouS with
emotion. The Grand Army Band played
Home Sweet Home" as the train pulled
out of Canton, and this was still sounding
in touching refrain in Mrs. McKinley's ears
as the major came TO sit beside her.

NO MORE SEA BIRDS EGGS.
4 FarreIlOne Island Industry stopped
by the United States Government.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 1.-At the So
licitation Of the committee on bird protec-
ton of the American Ornithologists Asso-
citation. of which Prof. Leverett NJ. Loomis,
of the California Academy of Sciences, is
a member, the government officials have set
the seal of their displeasure on the import
ing of sea birds eggs from the Farrellones.
The lighthouse board at Washington, which
has the affairs of the Farrellones in charge
as sort of government preserve, has is
sued a decree that the traffic I'm the eggs
of the sea birds must cease. The mandate
of the lighthouse board will bring TO Il
close unique industry of this city. The
eggs of the murre, or foolish guilemot,
have been shipped to the markets of the
city in great quantities ever since 1S49 at
which date they were almost the only fresh
eggs to be had, bringing over 81 a dozen.
The birds were present in the breeding sea-
son from May until August on the islands
in such countless thousands that although
persistently taken their numbers seemed to
show no appreciable dimunition. In recent
years, however. naturalists have noticed
the effect of the annual persecution of
the vast colonies and several had fears that
they might become extinct AS q result Of
has been enacted. AS high as 10000 dozen
of the eggs were annually brought to
market by the Greek and Italian fishermen
They twice the size of an ordinary
hens egg, for which they are said TO be
an excellent substitute, and they sold at re-
tail at from % 10 80 cents a dozen. During
the past four five seasons the Greek
have been driven of and the egg industry
has been carried on by the lighthouse
keepers of the FarrelloneS.

line the carriage containing the President
elect and wife was kept in halo of bril-
liant light from flambeaux, emitting lurid
red rays. replaced from time to time as
they burned dmly. At various points along
the line colored fires were also burned, and.
though there was no organized effort IN
that line individuals at various places sent
sky rockets and Roman candles whiZzing
through the air. As the head of the column
reached the railway station and matted, the
rear pushed forward and the crowds from
the sidewalks mingled with the marchers
until the platform and surrounding streets
We're filled with n seething, surging mass
of humanity. each striving heroically to get
nearest the point where the President-elect
would be last seen. and some striving FOR a
last handshake, although the committee
had arranged that there should be none or
this. From the rear platform of the train
the major made the following address TO
his friends who were at the station TO DID
him farewell:
My Neighbors and Friends and Fellow
citizens: on the eve OF departure 10 me

great as can devolVe upon any man, moth
this farewell greeting-this evidence OF your
friendship and sympathy; your good Will.
and l am sure the prayers of all the people
with whom L have lived so long. and whose
confidence and esteem are dearer 10 me
than any other earthly honors. To all OF
Us the future is as a sealed book; but III L
can. by official act or administration, or ut
terance i'm any degree, add TO the prosper
ity of our beloved country, and the com
fort and well-being of our splendid citizen

selfish efforts of my life. The assump-
ton of the chief magistracy is of such
grave Importance that partsanshp can
rot blind the judgment or accept any other
considerations, but for the public good
of all to every party and every section.
With this thought uppermost in my mind
L reluctantly take leave OF my friends and
my neighbors. cherishing in my heart the
sweetest memories and the tenderest
thoughts of my old home-my home now,
and / trust my home hereafter, so long s.
