Mrs. James Kirk, of Springfield
South Dakota, arrived in the city Mon
day morning at 1877 to visit her rela-
tives, Mr.. d. Main, Feast Tenth street
Wishing to make her visit a surprise,
she did not notify them of her coming,
hence no one was at the train to meet
her.
She failed to find policeman and
asked a young man near the depot to
show her to the home of Mr.. Main.
Instead Of showing her the correct
route, he took her in an opposite di-
rection and when some distance from
the cepot demanded his pay. This
she refused him until he had taken her
to the proper house. He the!eupon
caught her by the throat ard choked
her into insensibility When she re-
gained consciousness she found that
her pocketbook, containing $40 in
money had been taken and her assail-
ant. had fed.

which they t.ink will land the villain

had dreamed of, and Lawrence, spur
ring eagerly ahead, rode in at night to
fold his motherless little ones TO his
heart and found loving army women
aiding their faithful old nurse in minis
tering to thom, but read disaster in the
fearful eyes and faltering words that
welcomed him.
Then he was i'll fortnight, and then
he had to go. He could not, would not,
believe the order final. He clung to the
hope that he would find at Washington
dozen men who knew his war record,
who could remember his gallant services
In dozen battles, his popularity and
prominence in the Army of the Potomac.
Everybody knows the favorite aid de-
camp OF a corps commander when colo

nothing when the general is gone. Colo

CHAPTER III.

In spite Of what Colonel Frazier could
say Captain Lawrence had gone the long
and devious journey to Washington.
Those were the days when the lumber
ing stageconch, once a week, or a rat-
ting ambulance, bore our army travel
ers from the far frontier to San Antonio.
Another trundled and bumped them
away to the gulf A Morgan line steam
er picked them up and tossed and rolled
with them to the mouth of the Missis-
sippi and unloaded them at New Or
leans, whence by dusty railway journey
OF 4S hours or more they could hope TO
reach the north. The parting between
Lawrence and his tall slip of daughter
and boisterous little Jimmy was some
thing women wept over in telling or
hearing, for only two looked on, well
nigh blinded-Mrs- Blythe, who had
been devoted to their mother, and Old
Nanny, who was devoted to them
all. A month had rolled by, and the
letters that came from Lawrence from
San Antonio and Indianola and New
Orleans had been read by sympathizing
friends to the children. Then all await
ed the news from Washington. Every
one knew hO would wire TO Department
headquarters the moment the case was
settled in his favor but the DAYS went
by without other tidings, and the croaA-
ers who had predicted i'll success were
mournfully happy. February passed.
March was ushered in, orders came
transferring certain portions Of Frazier's
big command, and certain new officers
began to arrive to fill the three or four
vacancies existing, but the new captain
OF Troop ID Of the cavalry had not yet
appeared. His fame. however, had pre-
eeded him. and all Fort Worth was agog

Estaca,!o, there were inimical soul:
who worked tEe story Of his indebted
ness to enlisted men for all il was
worth, and, aided by the complaints Of
some of their number, to his grievous
disadvantage. He came home from a
brilliant dash after the Kiowas to find
himself coinPlimented in orders and

same breath. The court acquitted hiIl
and "cut" his accusers, but the shame
and humiliation of it all seemed to prey

poor Ned ran down at the heel and
seemed unable to rally. New command
ers came to the department, to his regi-
ment, and new officials to the war Of
fce-men "who knew not Joseph, F." and
when the dragnet was cast into the
whirlpool of army names Gnd army rep
utations it was set for scandal, not for
services, and the old story OF those un-
paid hundreds was enmeshed and serv-
ed up seasoned with the latest spice OBJ
tainable from the dealers rebuked of
that original court.
And, 10, when the list Of victims
reached Fort Worth in the reorganiZa-
tion days, old Frazier, the coicnel,
burst into a string of anathemas and
more than one good woman into a pas
sion of tears, for poor Ned Lawrence,
at that moment long days marches
away toward the Rio Bravo, was de-
clared supernumerary and mustered out
of the service of the United States with
one years pay-pay which he could
not hope to get until every government
account was satisfactorily Strengthened,
and this, too, at a time when the de-
sertion of one sergeant and the death Of
another revealed the fact that his store
houses had been Systematically robbed
and that he was hopelessly short in
many a costly item charged against
him. That heartless order was a month
old when the stricken soldier reached
his post and then and there for the
first time learned his fate.
Yes, they had tried to break it to him.
Letters full Of sympathy were written
and sent by couriers far to the north;
others took them on the Concho trail
Brooks and Frazier both wrote to San
Antonio messages, thence to be wired
to Washington, imploring reconsidera-
tion, but the deed was DONE Astute a6-
visers of the war secretary clinched the
matter by the prompt denomination Of
others to fill the vacancies just created,
and once these were confirmed by the
senate there could be no appeal The
detachment led by Brevet Lieutenant
Colonel Lawrence, so later said the
Texas papers, had covered itself with
glory, but in its pursuit of the fleeing
Indians it had gone far to the northeast
and so came home by route no man

PUTTING ON THE SCREWS.
The Steel and Wire "COmbine" Fore
ing Up Prices of Its Products.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 1.-The Leader says:
1.-The American Steel and Wire Company,
in other words the consolidation of the en-
tire American wire industry, seems to be
an accomplished fact. One of the strongest
indications in support of the conclusion is
a sudden and marked stiffening in the price
of wire and nails which has come generally
this week. The price was put up on Mon
day over 81 a ton beyond what it was pre-
vious to the recent temporary drop and as
much as 49, 81 or S. n ton over some prices
for wire which were reported as having
been made last week. Now the price an
nounced is S1.3 for wire and 81 IS for nails
and another advance of cents hundred
pounds is to be made in March. Whether
it be really true or not that all formal
tiles in formation OF the American Steel and
Wire Company have been completed that
contamination Is certainly so near at hand
that the end has practically come. and the
biggest undertaking that the iron indus
try of the world has ever witnessed may
be said to be successfully completed. This
huge concern with a capitalization Of $751;
OO0,Oe all representing property, owns all
the establishments in the country with
which wire rod mills connected. 1T is
no mere agreement pool or trust but an
absolute absorption of the property of the
concerns consolidated and the former own
ers who now hold stock cannot dissolve
the combination by any withdrawal"
