Or cot, the back and seat Of which were
covered with leather, and which cot,
together with an old cedar table and
one or two stout chairs made of the
comba wood, formed the only furni-
ture OF the dull guard room.
The "cuartel," or barracks, were now
almost entirely deserted, the major
portion Of the troops having been
thrown outside the town to man and
garrison the various batteries, re-
doubts and earthworks to repulse the
coming enemy. leaving the cuartel on
ly guard for local duties.

lying pickets and had just finished my
simple meal, when, feeling fatigued by
the unusual exertion l had undergone
that day, l lay down on the wooden
cot. Overcome at last by the excess
slve heat and fatigue, l slept. How

ashamed to have been caught mapping
by a subordinate, seized my sword
and cried in savage voice:
"Guardia formal"
Grand rounds" came and grand

again; the troops dispersed, and went
back to the guard room. l, however,
noticed casually that up in one corner
of the gateway and near the wicket a
small revolver lay on a piece of mat

was the more astonished to find him
here at this time of night. The SER

He had hardly reached the topmost

ministered by some one. and which
blow was quickly followed by des-
perate struggle and blasphemies. the

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
Tho "Pleasures" Mapped Out In Boston

Tho "Plcasures" Mapped Out In Boston
for Western Girl.
Not long ago, while young woman
hailing from western state was re-
siding in the east, she had a slight at
tack Of the grip and was much in need
OF something to cheer her up. With a
view Of securing the needed amuse-
ment she wrote accepting the standing
invitation of Boston girl to come and
spend few days at the hub. When
the time was near for her to leave
home she received a letter from her
Boston friend which ran like this: II
think 1 have planned as pleasant q
programme for you. my dear. as would
be possible. You will arrive Monday
morning; that afternoon we shall
have luncheon of the Quiet Hour
club in your honor. at which thirty
literary women will be present. Nom

shall wind up the two days with lec-
ture by Professor -- on 'Esoteric
Buddhism which. am sure, will be
the greatest treat Of the whole two
days" AS soon after the receipt Of
this letter as she could recover
strength enough to hold a pen the
western girl wrote her friend as fol-
lows: II am afraid. my dear girl. that

WILL WALK ACROSS THE OCEAN
Captain Oldreive Plans to Go to Paris on
Foot Next Summer

Captain Oldreive Plans to Go to Paris on
Foot Next Summer.
A special to the Chicago Times Her
aid from New York says:
Captain William G. Oldrieve of Bos-
ton has planned to walk across the At
lantic ocean. He will begin his jour
ney on July 4th, and will be accom-
panied by Captain William A. Andrews
OF Boston, famous by reason of his
voyage across the Atlantic in a small
boat
1t is nothing new for Captain Old
rieve to promenade the waves. That
has been his pleasure and profit these
ten years. Captain Andrews, who is
to be the companion of the water pedes-
trian. will journey in brand new
fourteen-fOot sail boat, and In this
merely repeats feat performed in
1873 and again In 1892.
Captain Andrews is really the man
who has brought about the whole af-
fair. Here is his own statement:
Incredible as 1t may seem, next year
we are really going to walk and sail
down Boston harbOr, out on to the
ocean and over to Havre, France,
through the great bore of the river
Seine and on up to Paris, to be there
to attend the exposition Of 1900 in our
sea-gOing shoes and smallest, fastest
and best boat that ever crossed the At.
lantic ocean, the Phantom ship. Every
vessel we speak with on the ocean will
report one of us walking and some
times towing the boat In calm wealth,
er."
The sea-going shoes of Mr.. Oldrieve
are the most wonderful part Of the
whole affair.
They are n pair of cedar boxes five
feet long with fms on the bottom and
sides. They are very light and capable
Of sustaining 40 pounds. but as Old
rieve weighs only 100. they are as good
to him az q steamers deck.

BOOM FOR CRIPPLE CREEK.
New Processes Will Make Low-Grade
Ores Profitable

DENVER, Col, November 1O-Charles
F. Phillips. a mining expert, who has been
in the South African fields. has come to
Colorado in the interest of eastern capital
lists who own valuable claims in the Grip
pie Creek district.
These gentlemen says Mr. Phillips.
have seen great possibilities in the develop
ment of low-grade properties in Colorado.
They see the necessity of mills for treating
low-grade ore. and realize that the only
thing lacking is the facilities. l am in a
position to state that several eastern capt.
talists are planning for the construction of
big mills. One is already in process of
erection, with capacity of 800 tons of
low-grade ore day. This mill will quote
prices greatly below the standard now pre-
Vaiing, making a rate of about $3.50 per
ton. There is every reason to believe that
in a year other mills will go up, treating
ore by the new electric process for So or
$500 per ton. This will revoutioniZe min
ing in the Cripple Creek district, as well as
in Victor, Goldfield and other surrounding
camps. Seven dollars for surface and dump
ore affords an enormous profit, not only to
the mine owners, but to the mills as we'll
Il have spent several years in South At
rica on the Rand. and with that experience
In mind, have never been in a camp equal
ing the Cripple Creek district. In fact to
me the great bed which exists there and
which is SO thoroughly impregnated with
gold, is the greatest wonder in the world
on account of its adaptability.''
