THE OLD-TlME CIRCUS.

1he circus thirty years ago was better far
than now;
The elephant was a wonder Just to see!
L could watch him half day
As he fed himself with hay;
ana each separate beast was worth the
price to me.
Never clown was half so funny; never
monkey half so droll;
All the t1nsel was pure metal then to me:
AVefy acrobat, amazing; every rider, SIM
ply great;
And that small trapeze man-what man
was he
And when the woman sang. I'VE par+ad
by the Riverside"
And You'll Not Forget" and You'll Re-
member Me-"
She was really so pathetic
That wiped my eyes and cried:
i wanted then to take her home with me.
The shows We see in these days are never
half so fine;
The cost of tickets often bothers me:
Though the man still cracks his whip,
And the clown seems pretty flip,
There Is nothing much 1 care to hear or see
thoughts of business, taxes, losses; rheu-
matism, other crosses,
All combine to make the circus seem quite
fiat;
I no longer love the songstress, with her
paint and frills and f1osses!
I no longer want to take her home, at that
But I'd like to see the old-time show of
thirty years ago,
When 1 wore no pointed shoes-my feet
were bare;
When lemonade was nectar
And peanuts were a joy;
That old show without a worry or a care!

Chapter l. Fannie McI4ane, a young
widow, is invited to visit the Graftons
at Fort Sedgwick. Her sister tries to dis
suade her, as Randolph Merriam, (whom
she had Tilted for old McLane) and his bride
are stationed there.
Chapter u.-Fannie McLanes wedding
causes family feeling. A few months later
she, while travelling with her husband,
meets Merriam, on his wedding trip.
Chapter III-Some time previous to this
Merriam had gone on government sur
vey, fallen i'll, and had been nursed by Mrs.
Tremaine and daughter Florence. A hasty
note from Mrs. McLane's stepson takes
him to the plains.
Chapter IV.-Young McLane dictates to
Merriam dying message, which is sent
10 Parry "a young Chicago lawyer and
brother-in-law of Mrs. McLane). Reply
causes AIerriam~to swoon. He is taken to
the Tremaine's; calls for Florence.
Chapter Engagement of Florence
Tremaine to Merriam is announced; wed
ding shortly follows.
Chapter VIM McLane is mysterious
ly shot in San Francisco. Merriam is
greatly excited when he reads account in
papers. While still in mourning Mrs. Nc
Lane prepares to visit Fort Sedgwick..
Chapter VII-Mrs. McLane arrives at
the fort. Merriam is startled at the news,
and he and his wife absent themselves
from the formal hop that evening.
Chapter VIII. - Mr.. and Mrs. Merriam
pay their respects to the widow on an
evening when she would be sure to have
many other callers. When the call is
returned Merriam is away, and his wife
pleads fllness as excuse for not seeing
heZ~NIrs. McLane receives telegram: ar
rested, Chicago. Your uncle stricken-par-
alySis. You will be summoned Secure
papers, otherwise lose everything. c. M"
She faints and is revived with difficulty.
Chapter IX.-Mrs McLane desires to see
Merriam. Grafton persUades him to go,
~but the widow postpones the meeting till
next noon.
Chapter x. - Florence learns Merriam
has been to see Mrs. McLane, and in a
storm of passion will not allow him to eX-
plain. Shortly after Merriam is intercepted
by Fannie McLane as he is passing through
Graftons yard. Florence witnesses the
meeting, which she supposes has been pre-
arranged, and swoons.
Chapter XI.-Mrs. McLane begs Merriam
for papers given him by her stepsOn, but
which he tells her were all forwarded to
Parry. Merriam is seriously wounded in
fight with greasers.
Chapter XII - Upon regaining her
strength Florence returns to her home,
which she now in her jealous breeding de-
cideS to leave.

enough to drive Florence into flight
She must have watched for his later
coming, must have seen him go-oh,

ton, and no one else, was responsible!
away from the path that led to his
wife and home, straight to that which
bore him to the side of the woman he
had loved before ever he set eyes on
FlOy Tremaine. And thither she, per-
chance, had followed; but there-what
had she seen ?-what had she heard :?
There were aching hearts in many
households at -Sedgwick that cloudless
morning, but the man who suffered
most was Grafton. The whole truth
flashed upon him as he followed the
prints of Mignon's nimble hoof. He
would have to tell his wife and Mrs.
Hayne, but no one else.

who still slept the sleep of the innocent

Hop Ling had been told to go indoors,

breakfast table set, and breakfast pre-

And in the telling of her tidings, was it

''We must try to make it seem that
she has ridden off at dawn in hopes of
meeting Randy on his return with the
prisoners" was Mrs. Haynes decision,
after she had recovered from the shock
and had heard the whole story; and
this commended itself to Grafton as
wise when his wife came back to him
and he had returned from the never-to-
be-neglected morning stables" And
this too was what they intended at first
to say to Merriam when he should come
in, ravenous for breakfast and aston
ished at not finding his wife. But high
noon came and brought no Randy. In
the words of the acting adjutant, high
noon brought only high jinks.
Crane, officer of the day, and dozen
other officers had seen Hop Ling's
frantic charge across the parade at
reveille, and numbers of men had heard
his announcement of the general hegira
at Merriam's. Before guard mounting
it was known that Mignon's trail led
straight away to the upper fords of the
Santa Clara-far from the direction in
which Randy had gone. At ten herds
man came in who said he "reckoned the
lady must have dropped this He saw
her riding like the wind the short cut
for Jose's ranch on the old Navajo trail,
and he handed over poor Florrie's little
travelling bag, which she had evidently
strapped to her saddle, never calculat-
ing-perhaps never caring-what the
e+ro;,, 1,oinb+ no Dovn,. r,oiSci0cr II xDboD
it was gone. They sent it to Mrs. Hayne,
who could no longer keep up her brave
face but sobbed over 1t as would a moth
er over some priced relic of a lost and
beloved child.
Then BuX ordered out three of his
swiftest trailers and riders and the best
light wagon at the post. With the wag-
on went the post surgeon and Mrs.
Hayne, who left her brood to neighbours
care. They took with them such drugs
and restOratives as seemed necessary,
and at noon they were across the Santa
Clara on the road to the cantOnment, eX-
pecting to reach Jose's by nightfall and
find their runaway darling there, eX-
hausted by her long hours in saddle and
compelled to stay under that friendly
shelter, as sometimes with her father
and twice at least with Randy she had
stayed on her journeys to and fro.
There she would have to remain over
night until Mignon should be able to
go on again with the rise of the morning
star.
Meantime the wires from Cimarron
Junction had been hot with news, and
McGrath, the operator, lived the day of
his life, for hours the most important
man at the post. The rioters had got
wind of the coming of troops and had
sought to block the way by wrecking
a freight caboose in Calamas Gorge
The Rifers swarmed out and had things
in shape within the hour, and went
whistling on again. Everyone knew
trouble would end the moment they got
to the scene of the strike, but what
might not happen meantime?

CHAPTER XII.-CoNTINUED.

Wild-eyed, with beating heart, Flor
ence rushed through the dining-roOm
to the dark kitchen beyond and raped
imperiously at door. Hop Ling!"
she cried, 'up, L need you" No an
swer. 'The BRUTE" she murmured to
herself, as she threw herself heavily
upon the door, and it flew open and
plunged her in. The Chinaman's little
sanctum was deserted. She kept no
maid. One schOoled Chinaman easily
and efficiently did all the homework of
a lieutenant's humble quarters and was
generally employed in that capacity in
almost every garrison of the far west.
FShe flew to the rear door and locked
that, then up to the second story where
were the pretty guestrooms as well as
their own-hers and Randy's, with all
their closets and hooks and corners.
She took one rapid survey through
them, and then one fierce, wild look at
herself in the mirror of her dainty
dressing table. Are you Floy IRE
maine? Are you the little girl who was
reared in the Rifers? Are you to make
o lifelong fool for any man? And as
she spoke she began to open the dress
she had been wearing for Randy's ben
eft. The folds of the stylish skirt, one
of Mrs. Haynes planning when in Chi
cago, were tossed in reckless disorder
upon the snowy coverlet of the bed, and
her precious locket-Randy's locket-
was as suddenly unclasped from the
round, white throat, and in the tumult
in her soul she heard no sound of the
sudden stir and sortie at the guard
house. She never knew that there was
no sentry faithful to his watch along
the rear of officers row, to take up and
pass on the stirring, reassuring cry that
no army girl can hear without rejoicing
or miss without alarm-''TwO o'clock
and all's WELL"

German Colony in Tripoli.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-The COnstantinOple
correspondent of the Standard says
Emperor Williams visit to Constanti-
nople has resulted in an agreement
with the sultan whereby the latter
gives the kaiser the right to plant a
large German colony along the whole
frontier of Tripoli. This arrangement
will protect the sultan against French
encroachmenrs across the Tripoli-Tl.nis
frontier and will avoid granting con-
cessioa in Asia Minor, which would in

CHAPTER XIII.

''No word of this to anyone, Whit
taker," said Grafton, as they turned
away. He was beginning to see through
it all. He knew that two ladies of the
garrison were calling at his quarters
just at that luckless hour near retreat,
when, as he had urged, Merriam went
thither and asked for Mrs. McLane. He
knew that they had left and gone on up
the row while his wife was eXpostulat-
ing with Fanny aloft and Randy was
waiting below. He knew that one at
least of their number would be sure to
tell what was occurring, not as a mat
ter of malice by any means, but simply
because she couldn't help telling any
thing and everything that she saw and
heard. He knew that sympathizing
women were dropping in every few
minutes to see dear Florrie" herself,
if a possible thing, or to inquire how
she was, and he quickly conjectured
that one or more of these visitors had
let fall the fatal observation. What
Grafton did not know was that such a
visitation had befallen after Florence
had virtually asked Randy to tell where
he had been, and after his hapless fail

The two officers looked in each others

the west end of the line. Before them
there-broad and far spreading, brave
in the slanting sunshine, the rolling
reach of the mesa toward the Santa
Clara. Beyond that valley the slow
rising stretch of desert toward the old,
old mission miles and miles away. Be
