first bend in the trail, over which
they were making their way.
I'VE are nearer to them than we
suspected" answered Roswell
And they don't know it, or they
wouldn't have betrayed themselves in
that manner"
1T isn't safe to take that for grant
ed"
Roswell after the last change in
their course, was at the front. Frank
now quietly moved beyond him, Win
chester in hand, and ready for what
ever might come. Confident they were
close upon the men they sought, he
was glad of the misstep that had
warned them of the fact.
There certainly could be no excuse
now for Hardman and his companion
securing the advantage over the Buys
when one of them held his Winches-
fer half-raised to his shoulder and
ready to fire.
Within a couple Of PAGES of the turn
in the trail Frank Mansley ceased his
cautious advance. If the men We're
annroaching, it would be a greater
surprise for them to stumble upon the
motionless forms in the trail than to
have the youths come upon them in
the path.
The two were standing like stat
ues when both were lifted almost off
their feet by sound that burst from
the stiffness. startling enough to
frighten the strongest man.

more than would be supposed. The
trall was continually winding in and
cut, It's turns so numerous that rare
ly or never were they able to see
more than a few rods in advance. In
places the winding was incessant. The
uncertainty as to how far thew were
behind the donkey and the men made
the lads fear that at each turn as thew
approached it, they would come upon
the party, who, perhaps, might be
expecting them, and would thus take
them unprepared. The dread of some
thing like this often checked the BOYS
and seriously retarded their progress.
we may as well understand one
thing" said Frank, as they halted
again; you have heard JEFF tell about
getting the drop On a man, Roswell?"
Yes. everybody knows what that
means"
We'll, neither Mr.. Hardman nor
his friend, nor both them, will ever
get the drop on US

expression left no doubt Of the lads

chester and they have only their re-
Volvers?"
1T would make no difference if both
of them had rifles
Roswell was thoughtful.
1T is very well, Frank, to be
brave, but there's nothing gained by
butting your head against a stone
wall Suppose, now, that in passing
the next bend in this path you should
see Hartman waiting for you with his
gun aimed and he should call out to
you to surrender, what would you do?"
Let fly at him as quickly as
could raise my gun to level"
And he would shoot before you
could do that

rash response.
L hope you will not have to take
any chance like that
They were talking as usual in low
tones, and no one more than few
feet away could have caught the MUIR

was uttering his words ard before he
could complete his sentence, the two
heard a sound, so faint that neither
could guess its nature.

it was as if some person in walking

The chairman CT the Republican

Congressional campaign, principally
on account OF the blanket civil service
order Of the last administration, which
has prevented our friends from being

share in the patronage at the dis
posal of the government This Will

party win this fall.

The claim that politics would be
purified by woman suffrage; that bet

there would an angelic political condi-
ton is not borne out where the women
have had the right to vote. In Wy

bulwark Of polygamy. 1t will make

TWO BRANDS OF ARISTOCRACY.
St. Louis Post Dispatch.
An Englishman protests against
William Waldorf Astor's wallins Up
his Cliyeden residence and his exclu-
sion Of the public from even view of
the beautiful house and park He
calls it a breach Of the ordinary
courtesy Of English life and refers to
the liberty the former noble owners
allowed the public in the parks, gar
den and house" Aristocratic privilege
is indefensible. but it results in an ar
lstocracy in the main sensible of the
privilege and with a feeling of obti-
CATION to the public, the obligation of
nobility to care for the people and to
share their burdens. Advantage is
modified by courtesy and concessions
But an aristocraey of money is usually
marked by unfounded and unredeemed
arrogance and snobbishness.

PAYING TAXES BY INSTALL

PAYING TAXES BY INSTALL
MENTS.
Boston Transcript
Paying taxes on the installment plan
is one of the happy thoughts OF
municipal philosopher. Why not pay
them that way? 1t is in human nature
to find it easier to pay SIS year in
monthly payments of 81 than S4S IN
one annual payment. There is moth
ing particularly sacred about the
period of one round year that would
make it necessary to tax by that period
rather than by any other. Thrifty peo-
pie might prefer to pay by the year,
but few people are thrifty. Some men
prefer to pay their house rent by the
year, but that is not the rule. There
is no absolute reason why taxes should
go by the year either Furthermore,
if taxes come into the treasury by the
month, it is doubtful if so many waste
full expenditures would be made by
municipal governments. The large
figures in annual budgets tempt to
large appropriations. This municipal
philosopher may have hit on great
idea More taxes raised with less
grumblng, and with narrower appro-
priations, would be a wonderful boon.

BY WAY OF COMPARISON.

Lisbon. n. D., Free Press.
When you ask an editor to suppress
an item of news because it does not
suit you, then so and ask your grocer
to exclude pickles from his store be-
cause you can't eat them, Or your
butcher to quit keeping bologna be-
cause it goes against your stomach.
There is just as much fairness in one
as the other News is the editors
stock in trade. So are pickles to a
grocer and bologna to butcher.

Mr. Rockefeller, the multimillion-

give only fifteen minutes at time to
business, and even then the mental
strain is too much for him. Poor
man. What's the use Of being SO rich
as that? If we were in this Rockefel-
Ter plight, we should not be eager to
attend to business at all. We should
leave our money to pile UP as it could,
and save our nerves, if it did cost a
few millions a year to preserve them.
But there is no doubt Mr.. Rockefeller
is having a horrible time of it. He
was quoted as saying the other day:
''The poorest man I know is the man
who has nothing but money" Which,
being interpreted, means that one en-
ormously wealthy man. at least, has
not learned where or how to bestow
