porary. tho Forum. his opinion as to whether
laughter is dying out or not. He believes that
good, genuine. honest, robust laughter is "the

Reluctantly Madame produced the
remaining sovereigns. AS she passed
the door which was now opened for
her, she said
II don't suppose you are going to
be quite fool enough to give the
money to that Mrs. Yates; but in
any case, rely ON your promise not
to do so before nine o'clock tomor-

The Pink Sheep made no answer.
That night Madame contrived to
pick a quarrel with Mrs. Yates. She
let the hotel, saying she would not
pass another hour under the same
roof with her, and declaring that she
would take the night boat to London.
The next morning, when Mrs. Yates
was at breakfast with the Kibble
Whites, a small heavy package was
brought to her by one of the cham
bermaids. She opened it and found
a rouleau of twenty-five sovereigns,
with the following note:-

"Ah!" said Madame, raising her
eyebrows, chow stupid of me not to

out his watch.
''And 1 tell you at once you can
call up the hotel-keeper and do your
worst, and you will then learn that
it may be a dangerous business to
make a charge without a shred of
evidence to support it,"
The Pink Sheep looked at her
steadily for moment.
81 think you are not French in
spite of your good accent. 1 may be
wrong, but I should take you for an
Italian; still, I assume you know
something of the French law. In an
other minute I shall ring the bell and
tell the servant to ask gentleman
from the Bureau of Police-who must
be here by this time, for I sent for
him to come Immediately after din
ner-to come upstairs. I shall say to
him, Here's a lady whom T have
found in my room. All I know of her
is that in Switzerland she passed I'M

she calls herself the Marquise de
Montereaux, and at this hotel she in
scribes herself as Madame Camboux.'
You probably know that you will be
at once arrested and detained until
inquiries can be made. Your luggage
will be searched, and no doubt your
case of instruments will be found"
Madame turned very pale. She lift
ed the skirt of her dress and finding
concealed pocket drew forth a
handful of gold which she handed to
her antagonist.
He took the money and counted il
slowly.

up the bank he landed himself and the par

broken, and the parson, besides enlarging
his experience, was comforted with a good
dinner and handsome souvenir of the
mishap.
Other versions of the story are current;
but, as this was told by the parsons sue

nine feet in width. The miners are
highly elated over the present outlook.
1t Is now the intention to drift on the
vein and the property will soon be in
shape to produce almost any quantity
OF ore. Tho ore brought to the city ran
from s. to SIC in gold.
For some time the work on the Little
Ella was unfortunate, the tunnel being
run for several hundred feet parallel to
and slightly away from the vein. When
this was determined the miners came
back and followed , streak and in this
cross-cut the vein was tapped.

Johnson County-Calves' Mothers

Brand-Sketch Of Original Herd.

The Tribune learns that one Torrance
Smith. generally known and better rec
ognized under the familiar title o:
"Smithy." has inadvertently fallen into
the custody of the shelf of Johnson
county because of an uncomfortable de-
sire to make good beef out Of somebody
else's brand Of veal. William Hill Of the
firm OF Hill & Webb, owners Of the
hat brand OF cattle, Is responsible for
"Smithy's" arrest. "Smithy' is accused
Of taking two calves to raise whose
mothers, up to the time they were
skinned, were branded with the ceie-
brated, or notorious, hat" brand. I'm
der different circumstances "Smathy's"
act would have been applauded by hu-
manitarians everywhere, had the case
been brought to their notice. 1t would
have been a praisworthy act to take
those two motherless calves away from
the fang of he wolf or saved them from
a lingering death from starvation upon
the ranges Of Johnson county. But the
arrest Of "Smithy' is partly due to the
fact that the death OF the calves mother
has been traced to the Winchester Of
"Smithy" himself. Smith has been
bound ever to the district court for trial
in the sum Of $500. which thus far he
has failed to furnish.
