A crowd of railroad men were con-
gregated at certain hotel yesterday
afternoon and storytelling was In
order Most every railroad man pre-
sent had a blood curdliug story to re-
late regarding his experience on the
rails. During all this time there was
an individual sitting in one corner of
the hotel Office apparently unconscious
of what had been said. All Of q sud-
den he stood up before the crowd of
railroaders aud in a very nice speech
said that he had been listening very at
tentively and was highly entertained by
the thrilling adventures which he had
just heard concerning the railroads.
He said that he never knew great
deal concernin~ railroads.; that all of
his life had been spent on q farm.
AFTER list ming to what you had to
say regarding the peculiar things that
have happened" said he, II am kinder
reminded o: my experience with a
hoop snake. 1 we'll remember it was
early one morning when [ was raking
hay at the foot of an incline on fathers
farm. My attention was at
tracted by a disturbance in the hay
aud looking upI beheld one of them
hoop snakes coming like
blazes. It was impossible
for me to get out OF the road
30 just stuck out the rake and the
snake struck it powerful lick and
don't you know that before I had time
to get to the house the handle of that
rake was swollen twice it's natural
size." The railroad men glanced
sheepishly at one another and depart
ed in silence.

If the robber will kindly return the
money he will ssk no questions about

turns half of the money there will be

Justice with the wisdom of the cadi,
aided by two interpreters There Benig-
Mo came in, lugged unwittingly by
Mariana, who promptly declared that
he was but the humble and unworthy
tool of the wicked and designing Benig-
Mo. There was the first demonstration
of the kinship of the world. Now mark
the complication and the entry of
Olivia.
Benignio lived in Toudo. Between
his mansion of Nipa and the arm of the
law, as represented in the provost mar-
shal's guard, stretched line of insur-
gent soldiers, and there was at that
time such feeling between the two
forces that rather than risk the provoca-
tion of conflict the provost marshal
general decided to let Benignio go I'M
punished. Not so Olivia. Mariana had
duly paid the priest his price, and he
and she were one beyond legal POSSIBLE
ity of separation. Moreover, Olivia has
a woman's wit when him she loves is
in danger. She went to see Benignio in
Toudo. Mariana was in Jail, she said,
but she could carry on the business in
his place until he got ont again. In
fact, even at that time in the walled
city she had a man waiting ready to
buy large supply Of the very 'dobe
dollars. The crafty Benignio filled his
pockets with his counterfeits and fol-
lowed Olivia into Manila. In the little
shop of a Chinaman on the Gale Real,
right near the headquarters of Colonel
Reeves Thirteenth Minnesota police,
she left Benignio while she went Oh to
the appointed rendezvous to Fetch the
purchaser. But the man she brought
back with her carried gun, and Ben ig
MO followed Mariana to Jail, stripped
of the 'dobe dollars which had jingled
in his pockets when the soldier took
him. In court the next morning he said
he was the helpless victim of wicked
woman's wiles Now both Benignio and
Mariana are in prison. but there is a
chance for Mariana The wise men are
right, after all. The kinship is demon
strated. For TouGo read Jersey City.
