The day before the trial Harvey Neil

tells at once exclaimed at sight of him:
"Ilalloo! What's up?"
Il believe the Grubstake folks have
been shipping out of the enjoined ground

with sardonic smile, dropping into a
chair, wearily.
'They have!" the tone attesting the
attorneys appreciation of the impor-
tance of the statement. "How did you
get onto that?"

samples of the stuff they are shipping

the lawyer, disgustedly. "If you get

back to the Gulch with you tonight and
not lose sight of him again till court
opens. Then if you can secure the other
fellow for an alternate in case the ras-
cal elects to go back on us the last min

haps," answered Bartels.
(Which would probably be refused
if the judge has been approached by
the other side" Neil bitterly rejoined.
And, anyway, as l said before, would
rather take my chances than delay the
trial by an hour. 1t has been hanging
over me long enough. While, more
over, l feel perfectly sure of being able

amply indorsed the words.
"All right. If you stick by that, 1
think we may count on an easy victory"
Bartels said, cordially, as the young
man took his leave.
A couple of hours later, that same
afternoon, Dorothy Meredith, knocking
at her fathers door to see if he were
ready to go to supper, found him clos
cted with the superintendent of the
mine.
Come in for a moment; I'll go down
with you presently" he said to her;
and then, waiting till he had seen the
door safely shut and the girl quietly es-
tablished in chair, he resumed the
conversation she had interrupted. You
think he'll take the bait ?" he asked of
McCready, cheerfully.
"Oh, sure" returned that gentle
man confidently. Hes got onto the
fact that we're shippin' some mighty
rich truck, N he's so bent on KNOWN
where it comes from that he'll take any
chances TO see with his own eyes.

colonel. with n sharp glance.

he has not had thorough army train
ing, so far as a son of royalty can be
trained. The duke is now AZ years old,
and from the age of 16 he has been in
the army. In 1866 he went in as a cadet,
qualified as lieutenant of engineers
in 1868, and one year later he was made
a lieutenant of artillery. In 1871 he
was advanced TO the rank of captain.
When ne became 21 years old he was
voted n grant of 6 $4,000 a year, and
when he married Princess Louise of
Prussia this allowance was increased
to 925,0O0 year. After that Prince
Arthur was rapidly advanced in the
army. He was made brigade major,
assistant adjutant general, and gen.
eral of brigade at Aldershot. He saw
some service in India and was given a
title for it, and four years ago he was
appointed commander in chief at AL
dershot. But he will not be command
er in chief of the British army.

But if there is any such business as
that going on, we'll have an order from
the court for an examination at once; /;
though, as you observe, it is rather
late in the day." exclaimed Bartels,
with rather more show of excitement
than he often manifested.
"And by the time we get to the mine
with our order from the court, the
chances are that there wouldn't be a
man nearer the disputed territory than
the sorters on the dump pile. They
wouldn't go into such work as that
without being provided with system
of signals and underground telegraphy
to guard against surprises. Moreover,
think we can do BETTER good deal
of complacent satisfaction in the tone
now; II think we shall have one of
their men on the witness stand to-mor-
row."

tone of cordial congratulation. WHO is

AN ABSENT-MINDED LORD.

Strange Costume Worn by an Aspir-
ant for Political Honors.
A certain noble lord, who shall be
nameless, during his journey north on
a political mission, changed his cos
tune for n full Highland "rig-out," in
tending it as delicate compliment to
the land of the kilt. But when he
looked at himself in the glass he found
that the tailor had cut his kilt too short,
SO he made up his mind TO put on even
ing dress.
He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for a few moments to
study his speech. This set him to sleep.
He awoke with a start, only TO find
himself running into the station. For
getting what had happened, ne thrust
on his hat, and this was how he was
dressed:
He had a full Highland costume as
far as his waist, above were Il white
shirt and swallow-tailed coat, and the
entire edifice was crowned with a chin
ney-pot hat, upon which he had sat
down without noticing it. His lord
ships horror when he stepped upon
the platform and felt the keen wind
cutting his bare legs changed to abso-
lutte agony, when his valet appeared,
scrambling out of the carriage with a
pair of trousers in his hands, waving
them wildly AMI exclaiming: "My lord,

THE OLD VETERANS DEATH.
His Dying Moments Were Full OF the

Past.
The old Texas veteran was dying.
For days he had been unconscious, and
now the end was at hand. A few friends
and relatives had gathered around his
lowly bedside.
How time which seems to take moth
ing as he passes finally takes all! No
body would have supposed that the
shrunken form and pinched features
were once a model of manly strength
and beauty. 1t was hard to believe that
this wreck of man was, in his youth,
one of the boldest of the daring Texas
rangers, who had carved a red swath
with his bowie knife through the Mexi-
can ranks at San Jacinto.
Would he pass over the river without
final word? no, for the thin lips part,
there is an eager expression on the
drawn face as he says, hurriedly: Push
on, boys! We must overtake them be-
fore night. The women and children
must be saved"
He went away back in the thirties on
the trail of the Comanches along with
Jack Hayes.
For u few moments nothing was
heard but the laboring breathing of the
sufferer. Suddenly he clutched the bed
clothes. There was demon-lille scowl
on his brow, his eyes blazed with fury,
and through his clenched teeth, like
the growl of tiger, came the words:
Remember the Alamo"
"TIe is fighting Mexicans at San Jacin-
to-" whispered one of his sons.
For several minutes he did not seem
to breathe. Had he already passed
through the dark river? No, for once
more the thin lips part, and in a voice
in strange contrast to the hoarse war
cry of San Jacinto, he whispers: Lit
tie May"
The old mans sons, themselves gray
haired men, glance at each other. For
40 years that name had never passed
his lips. She was his only daughter, the
pride of his life, but he thanked God
when he heard she was dead.
Behold the wonderful transfigura-
tion! The withered features are all
aglow with a smile of ineffable tender
ness, like a CLEAN Of sunshine bathing
in glory the rugged rocks of some an
cient ruin. Come, little May, let us 60
out on the prairie, and pick flowers.
Come, little one!"
The outstretched arms fall heavily,
and good old mother earth, who so2ner
or later, gathers TO her bosom all her
tired children, and lulls them to sleep,

DUKE OF CONNAUGHT.
In Spite of the Queens Wish He VIII

The duke of Connaught will not be

army, despite the expressed desire of
his mother. the queen. The British
public, which dearly loves the queen.
has n way, nevertheless, of managing
affairs that is not always pleasing to
her majesty. The appointment suggest
ed by the queen for her third son was
that of adjutant general-the last step
but one to the supreme command. Lord
Salisbury was willing, but not so the

said of the duke, it cannot be said that
