while Miss Cullen, Fred and sat on
the platform, and Madge played OH her
guitar and sang to us. She had very
sweet voice, and before she had been
singing long we had the crew OF q
"dust express''-as we joxingly call a
gravel train-standing about, and they
were speedily re-enforced by many cow
BOYS, who left the saloons to listen to
her, and who, not being overcareful IN
the terms with which they expressed
their approval, finally by their riotous
admiration drove us inside. AT Miss
Cullens suggestion we three had Sec
ond game of poker, but with chips and
not money. She was an awfully reckless
player and the luck was dead in my fa-
vor, so Madge kept borrowing my chips
till she was so deep in that we both lost
account. Finally, when we parted for
the night, she held out her hand, and,
in the prettiest of ways, said:
81 am so deeply in your debt, Mr..
Gordon, that don't see how I can ever
repay you"
I tried to think Of something worth
saying, but the words wouldn't come

duffcr as l was the way she had said
these words, and the double meaning
she had given them, would have made
me the happiest fellow alive if 1 could

could be used for the same purposes for
which l use my crash bath gown, and,
while my eyes were open, l saw the fol-
ly of thinking that girl who wore such
things could ever get along on my sal
airy. In that way the incident was a
good lesson for me, for it made me feel
that even if there had been no Lord
Rallies 1 still should have had no chance.
On our return to the cars there was
telegram from the postmaster general
awaiting me. After glance at it, as

That may not look particularly intel
Lgible, but if the Phenix operator had
been talking over the phone to me he
couldn't have said any palmer:

My question being pretty thoroughly

passed the operator came out and hand
ed me message. 1t was from Fred,
and read thus:

and order their delivery.
Apparently l had my choice of being
traitor to Madge, of going to prison
for contempt of court or Of running
away, which was not far off from ac-
knowledging that l had done something
wrong. I didn't like any one of the
options.

TO RELIEVE KLONDIKERS.
A Proposition to be Made to Use the Mill
tary Arm of the Government


Washington, December 18.-When
the Klondike relief bill, which has pass
ed both branches of Congress, gets into
conference, provision will be added,
giving the War Department authority
to use the military arm of the govern
ment in the execution Of the relief
measures. While there is little doubt
as to the right to detail officers and
men for this purpose, yet the depart
ment officials want specific authority
in order to obviate any question as to
using the military arm for civilian
purposes. 1t is not anticipated that a
large military force will be required.
1t has been stated to members of Con-
gress that the officer to have charge
of the expedition has not yet been Sc
lected. The selection will not, how
ever, come from the highest rank of
the army, as it is felt that from the
grades of captain, major or colonel a
choice can be made which will insure
the executive ability necessary for the
execution of such a task. The war de-
partment authorities look with much
favor on this expedition, as it will
draw officers and men from the inactiv-
tiles of garrison life and give them a
mission in which courage and daring
analogous to active military service
will be required.

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The Programme for Their Consideration
Already Mapped Out.

Washington, December 1S-The pro-
gramme of the appropriation bills to be
reported to the House has been outlin-
ed in a general way. The Appropria-
tons Committee will get to work on the
District of Columbia bill just before
Congress convenes after the holiday re-
cess and it will be several weeks be-
fore it can be put in shape for report.
The next bill the committee will take
up is the Notifications and the sundry
civil bill will be brought up late in Feb
ruary or March, as now indicated.
Meantime the urgency deficiency bill
will be taken up and put through. All
these will originate with the Appropria-
lions Committee. The army bill will be
reported to the full committee in the
first week after the recess and will go
to the House probably early the follow
ing week. 1t will carry a large decrease
from the estimates, though an increase
over the last years appropriations. The
agricultural bill will be finished by the
subcommittee the first week after the
recess and will be reported immediate
ly. The naval bill is now pending the
consideration of the subcommittee. The
postoffice appropriation bill may be
called up Monday if the subcommittee
is here then, but at any rate will not
be reported until the middle or latter
part of January.

Charleston, w. Va, December 18.-
State Auditor LaFollette, having pre-
pared a notice to be sent out to corpor-
ations chartered within the last six
months of ex-Secretary of State Chill
tons term, the charter fees of which
Mr. Chiffon has not accounted for, de-
handing that payment be again made
by these corporations, number of
Charleston lawyers waited on the Board
of Public Works this afternoon to pro-
test against the collection Of these fees
the second time.
Among those who made arguments
before the Board were Ex-Governor
Wilson, Judge j. H. Ferguson, Nal
COIN Jackson, VIM. Seymour Edwards,
J. NJ. Payne, Wesley Mollohan and G..
w. McClintic.
The reason that the lawyers are
especially interested is probably the
fear that these corporations, if the de-
mand were made upon them to pay the
initial on their charters again on the
ground that they were paid to an Off
Ger not authorized by law to receive
them, the corporations would come
back on the lawyers who acted as at
torneys of the corporations in securing
the charters and demand to know why
they did not pay the money to the
proper officer, since they are lawyers
and are presumed to know what officer
of the State government was author
lied to receive the charter tax.
The points made before the Board
by the several lawyers were that it
would be illegal to collect these fees
again; that they were paid to the Sec
rotary of State with the full knowl-
edge Of the Auditor and every other
State officer; that the Secretary Of
State was the agent of the Auditor, or
of the State government, and not of
the corporations; that this money paid
to the Secretary of State, being in the
form of a tax, was not a debt upon
which a suit could be maintained in
court; that even if these fees could be
collected by law, it would be morally
wrong to do SO; that it would be gross
injustice to the corporations and the
State could not afford to do an unjust
act
One speaker held that sx-1AAyditor
j0oIk Jog soh was fable for the fees Hnac
counted for by Secretary of State Chill
ton, and that suit should be brought
against him to recover the money.
The tax on charters unaccounted for
amounts to $14,180. The same speaker
was in favor of judicial investigation
Of the office of the Secretary of State
1t had been said that the late Secretary
of State was not the man who misap-
piled the money-that a clerk in his
office took the money. If that were
true, the fact should be ascertained and
the guilty party prosecuted.
The payment of $4,000 expected to
be made this week by Mr.. Chiffon has
not yet been made.
