But what is generally given?"

Cap'n Smollett."
The explosion of dsapproval, which
| nothing but Silver's black looks had
restrained, broke out Immediately the
| doctor HAD left the house. Silver was
roundly accused of playing douhle-of
trying to make separate peace for
himself-of sacrificing the interests of
his accomplices and victims, and, in one
word, of the identical, exact thing that
he was doing. 1t seemed to me so obvi-

Very deliberately, then, did we ad-

the stockade, and as soon as we were
within easy speaking distance Silver
stopped.

GOING HOME.

Going home-the bllthe birds singing
Soft from every bank and spray,
Faint winds to the uplands winging
Incense from the new-mown hay;
Der her brow the first years roses,
In her heart Loves first delight;
6oing home a. sunset closes
Goodnight, pretty one, goodnight!
Going home-the dark clouds frowning,
Naught around but ceaseless din.
Even PHYS accents drowning
In the world of tears and sin;
On her brow no longer gladness,
In her heart Cares hopeless blight;
Going home to shade and sadness
Goodnight, weary one. goodnight!
Going home-the stars awaking,
Calm above the city's roar,
Tidings unto worn hearts breaking,
OF repose for evermore:
On her brow retreating sorrow,
In her heart returning light;
Going home till joys good-morrow-
Goodnight, happy one, goodnight,

The rogues looked at each other, but

than many, take you all round; but you
don't appear to me to have the rudi-

Well" he added, after he had dosed
them round, and they had taken his
prescriptions, with really laughable hui
mility, more like charity school chill

pirates-"well, that's done for to-day.

George Merry was at the door, spit

"I'll tell you, Grace" said the head of
the big law firm as he sat that evening
with his only daughter, Il can't con-
scientiously sanction this proposed
union. The young man is briefless
barrister. The chances are perhaps one
in fifty that he has the qualities which
win success, but l do not propose to
subject you to any such hazard. You
may consider his suit rejected"
But is there no test? Must two lives
be spoiled because you cannot fathom
the future far enough to see that he will
honor your profession? Up to certain
point L will obey you, father, but L de-
cline to be made the victim of any
fatuous prejudice. Is there no way in
which young man can prove his
worthiness without waiting years for
a chance to show his mettle?"
80, yes. my dear, if you do not care
to await the somewhat tedious process
Of evolution. This young man is to try
a case against me tomorrow. l admit
that the law and the evidence are both
on my side, but it's the best l see for
you now. If he wins the case L will
sanction the marriage"
Did she sleep that night? Not if her
own word be allowed to settle the mat
ter. She wrote note after note and each
note went by messenger boy. She
urged her young knight to do his best
and not to yield as long as there was a
fighting chance that he might win. In
the small hours of the morning came
one of those Inspirations that only come
with dreams. With the stealthiness of
a burglar she concealed every material
article of outdoor wear that belonged

He must have risen in the dark, for

him standing, like Silver once before,
up to the mid-leg in creeping vapor.
"You, doctor! Top O. the morning to

beaming with good nature in moment,
bright and early, to be sure, and it's
the early bird, as the saying goes, that
gets the rations. George, shake up your
timbers, son, and help DR.. Livesey over

So he pattercd on, standing on the
hill top, with his crutch under his ell
bow and one hand upon the side of the
log house-quite the old John in voice,

DR.. Livesey was by this time across
the stockade and pretty near the cook,

voice as he said:
"Not Jim?"
"The very same Jim as ever was" says
Silver.
The doctor stopped outright, although
he did not speak, and it was some sec

might have said yourself, Silver. Let

POSTMASTER KIPPEN KILLED.
Old Trouble Over Land in the Nez
Perez Reservation.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. BID. A. Kip
pen, postmaster at Kippen, prominent
citizen of the reservation district, was
killed Friday by Joseph Morangue, coun-
ty surveyor of Nez Perez county, at the
latters home on the reservation.
Morangue, accompanied by two men,
came here and surrendered himself into
the custody of Sheriff Barton. When
surrendering himself he made but brief
statement of the affair and the details of
the tragedy will not be known until the
findings of the coroners jury are made
public.
From information at hand, however, it
appears that the men had not been on
friendly terms for some time, owing to
unsatisfactory business relations. Mo
rangue owns a homestead near the sta
ton house conducted by Kippen, and the
latter had plowed and cultivated the land
with the understanding that he could Sc
cure a lease from the owner. Morangue
subsequently discovered that if he leased
his homestead he would lose his rights
and so explained the case to Kippen. The
matter resulted in bitter feelings between
tied by Morangue giving his note to Kip
pen for the amount of labor performed
with the understanding that if possible
Kippen would be given lease of the land
in future. The matter was in bad condi-
ton three weeks ago, when Morangue
came to Lewiston in attendance on the
session of the county commissioners. Mo
rangne completed his labor here and
reached his homestead Friday about IL
o'clock, WIN the tragedy happened
His brief sta tement of the affair is to
the effect that when he reached his home
Kippen was there, and the land difficulty
was Immediately the subject of a spirited
discussion. Morangue reported that while
in Lewiston he secured legal advice and
could not lase his homestead, when Kip
pen assumed a threatening attitude and
stated that he would compel him to sign
lease. Morangue then drew a revolver
and fred several shots at Kippen. The
latter fell across the threshold of the door
and expired almost instantly.
