Washington, Oct. .-- Instructions have been sent by Secretary Long to Rear Admiral Dewey directing him to send the protected cruiser Baltimore and Petrel at once to Tien Tsin, China. This action shows conclusively the concern felt by the administration at tha exist ing condition of affairs in the Celestial empire.

shoulders and shapely arms, of peeping,
pointed, satin shod feet, the handsomest
creature in all that crowded room and
the most dismally unhappy. She had
met him in the witnessing presence of
all Fort Worth, and all the garrison
saw that she had sustained crushing
defeat. She who was to have been his

Fort Worth didn't stop talking Of
that episode for all of another week,
and that, too, in the face of other inter-
esting matter.
To begin with, Sergeant Marsden had
disappeared as though from the face of
the earth. Whittier he had fed no man
could say. No settlement worth the
name had not been searched, no ranch
remained unvisited. Fuller's people
would not shield the fugitive, for Full

with Uncle Sam from the sergeant's
depredations. Settlers and ranch people

business of the former, and Fuller would
most gladly have had him rounded
up" long weeks ago, but Marsden and
his few confederates in the garrison had
admirably covered their tracks, and the
indications of declining trade that had
reused the suffers s1spicions led to no
arousal of vigilance within the sentry
line, wherefore Fuller's heart was hard
ened against the post commander and
the erstwhAe commissary, and this,
\ too, at time when the latter stood in
sorest need of financial help. The extent
ST poor Winn's losses and responsibility
was now known. So far as his commits
sary accounts were concerned, not a cent
less than So, 900 would cover them. The
quartermaster was out a horse and
equipments and several confiding en-
listed men and laundresses were de-
frauded of money loaned the dashing

has no better picture of the officer and

the thought OF being heard as Laura
Winn finished her greeting to Mrs
Frazier. Every man and woman was
intent only on what was coming next,
although many strove to speak or to
appear to listen TO their neighbors
Charlotte Frazier actually rose from
her seat and stepped out into the room
that she.might have better view.
And Barclay would not have been
the observant man he had already shown
himself to be had he not known it. His
color was bit high for one whose face
WIS ordinarily so pale, but he stood
calmly erect, with an expression Of
pleased contemplation in his fine eyes,
waiting for Mrs Winn to finish the
somewhat hurried yet lavish words that
she addressed to Mrs. Frazier; then she
turned effusively upon him.

mentioning her name, MRS. Winn,"
and, as was rather a way of his, letting
the other party do all the talking. 1t
was godsend to Laura Winn that the
waltz music began at the next instant,
for his nonchalance was something ut
terly unexpected. Oh, how dared he
look so calmly, indifferently, forgetful-
ly, almost unrecognizingly into her
eyes and stand there so placidly when
her heart was fluttering wildly with
nervous excitement, her words coming
in gasps?
"Oh, Mr.. Brayton, how heavenly"
she exclaimed. Don't let Us lose an

gone, but in its place there lurked
among the tiny threads of lines or
wrinkles just forming at the corners Of
her brilliant eyes and in the witching
curves about her mobile, sensitive, ex-
quislte lips a charm beside which her
virgin graces were cold and formal.
She had been what all men called
wonderfully pretty girl. She was now
what many women termed dangerous
ly beautiful woman, and she knew it
well. When we had no one especially
selected to receive" i'll those days, it
was sort of garrison custom for every
body to present himself or herself to
the wife of the commanding officer in
case that official was so provided. Mrs.
Frazier was seated in plain view of the
queenly creature, who having advanced
few steps beyond the portals and the
loiterers there assembled now halted,
and, like some finished actress, swept
the room with her radiant eyes, as
though compelling all men, all women,
to yield to her their attention and re-
gard, and then, smiling brightly, BEAM
ingly (dutiful Brayton guided by the
pressure of her daintily gloved hand),
moved with almost royal grace and de-
liberation to where Mrs. Frazier sat in
state, and the first lady of the garrison
rose to greet her.

SPRING.

Welcome welcome glorious Spring
With all thy wealth of cheer,
Sweet promise to our spirits bring,
Thrice welcome art thou here.
There's life hid in thy quick'ning
breath,
And health is in thy touch,
Thine absence speeds the work OF
death,
But now no longer such.
The birds have heard thy coming, and
Their concert sweet begun,
Bright flowers deck the verdant gland
And kiss the smiling sun;
The sky is soft with dreamy blue,
While perfumes scent the air,
And all things seem as il they knew
That thou, sweet Spring, art there.
The little brooklets sing for joy,
The trees their foliage don,
And forth to fish, the festive boy
Hath gone with uncle John.
Oh Spring of all the seasons dear
We fain would have thee stay,
To make us gladstone all the year,
As il 'twere one bright day.

Chicago, March 9,-Several Chicago |

tax collectors yesterday. Two men en-
tered the First National bank just be-
fore noon and went directly to the OF
fee OF the president. Without cere-
mony they addressed the Vice Presi-
dent. d. r. Forgan, and informed him
they wanted $S5. 273.12 in cash as quickly
as he could produce Il. They told Mr..
K Forgan that unless he paid over the
money without delay they would shut
/ the doors of the bank and help them
selves. 1t was a case of the collection
/ of taxes under a decision OF the su-
perior court, which refused to sustain
/ an Injunction asked for by six banks
against South Town Collector Ernst.
The bill sought To enjoin the collection
| on the ground that the assessments
were excessive and fraudulent The
banks affected were the First National
