CHAPTER XIII.

At about half after o'clock that
evening the figures of two aged men
mounted the steps of one of the new
residences in West Thirteenth street,
near Eighth avenue.
Farnhall himself met them at the
door.
Come in,' he said, with laugh
II suppose it is you, though couldn' t
swear to it. was awfully afraid you d
be late and get here after the Others"
II knew the train they'd take,' an
swered Hendricks, and then he intro
duced DR.. Lampkin.
"Come right back into the dining
room," said the lawyer, shaking hands
with the doctor. II shall have to leave
you to yourselves, as must look over
some documents before they arrive -
1--WE can manage very well," replied
Hendricks. Don't let us disturb you. I"

you won't object to make the arrest. /
thought you would not, so did not in
form the police"
''It would be a genuine pleasure,
answered Hendricks; "but, as told you
the other day, don't believe you can
succeed"
Farnhall looked little crestfallen. "
"You don't think SO? And in case
fail suppose you won't let me help
you in the plans you have in view"
''Sorry, but it is impossible, said
the detective. "You see, we are in dis
guise, and it would not do to run the
risk of adding another man. But l shall
do all can toward recovering the miss
ing papers. .
Il am sure of that" said Farnhall.
"Well, amuse yourselves as we'll as you
can. If l fail, I'll let you know in
stantly."
''Be sure to do that" cautioned
Hendricks II want to follow them as
soon as they leave the house."
Half an hour later Hendricks and
Lampkin heard the front doorbell ring.
The detective sprang to the door of the
dining room, drew aside the curtain
and peered cautiously into the hall.
Voices were heard exchanging greet
ings, and then they ceased as the draw
ing room door closed.
Hendricks turned to his companion.
'Good SO far!" he calculated. "They
are all here, every one of them. was
afraid some one would back out on some
pretext or other.'
An hour passed. Not a word was
spoken by the two men. Hendricks sat
at the open fire, his hands clasped over
his knee. Suddenly he sprang up. They
had heard the door of the drawing
room open. The hall was filed with the
sound OF footsteps and voices. Then the
front door closed, and Farnhall came
into the room:
Il made an ass Of myself" he said.
'That fellow Ralph is young dare
devil. He dropped on to me in a very
short time and knocked my feet from
under me. He offered to bet 81 900
that I suspected one Of them to be
guilty Of the theft. and he laughed at
! the idea of the papers having been
stolen. He said the old man had simply
mislaid them and that they would turn
up all right.
Hendricks did not seem to be listen
ing.
"Quick, doctorp' he said. Eve must
be after them. Good night, Farnhall.

CHEROKEEs TAKING COURAGE.

A number Of Cherokee citizens
we're discussing matters pertaining
to tribal interests on the street
yesterday, and without one dis
senting voice all were Of the opin-
ion that the Cherokees are really
fortunate in having their courts
abohs he'd, and are saved the enor-
NOUS expense Of maintaining
them. Three years ago the judi
cial expenses oftwo Of the smaller
districts in the Cherokee nation
amounted 10 over $40, 900, and
when the expenses Of the whole
nine districts is added it became
alarming. As this chief item of
expense is eliminated there is no
good reason why the Cherokee
national debt Of over 5000, 900
snould not pc soon llquldated,
from the interest on the invested
funds.
There is not much ground for
the gloom that seems to have set
tied upon the Cherokee. people
since the enactment of the Curtis
Law. As the courts Of the country
approach that marvellous COM
posite production of Curtis of Kan
sas and the Dawes commission, it
is more and more evident that its
provisions cannot and will not be
enforced.

"A subject to which The attention
! of congress should be cited as soon
\ - possible, is that Of fences In the
Indian Territory. At present the
country is practically without 4
fence law, and vast areas are
fenced up with one, two and three
wires, and the depredations Of
stock In some sections has been
the cause Of untold trouble and
criminal prosecutions, as well as
civil suits growing out Of the lack
Of an adequate law, are growing
numerous. The range is practi-
cally . thing Of the past--that is,
tho vast stretches Of unfenced grass
land is nb longer TO be, seen. The
cattle business from now on will
doubtless be confined to fenced
pastures and limited herds. The
farmer in the prairie country
should not be required to fence
ag ainst hogs. as timber and fenc.
ing material is scarce and in fact
not to be had for love nor money
The man who depends upon till
ing the soilsShould not be required
to invest all his earnings in fence
to protect his crops against the
man who is a herdsman only. And
on the other hand the man who is
trying to handle stock should not
be forcedto keep his stock out of
the crops Of the man who has not
a sufficient fence. 1t is to be
hoped that the attention Of con.
gress will be called to this matter, /
and that some Legislation along
this line will be forthcoming.

webster's Bargain Day.

case which was to be tried at Nan
tucket. and he posted TO Daniel Web
ster's Office in great haste, declares
the Boston Herald. 1t was contest
with neighbor over matter Of con-
siderable local interest, and his pride
as litigant was ut stake. He told
Webster the particulars. and asked
what he would charge to conduct the
case. .+ ..... ="
@Why;" said Webster, "you can't af-
ford to hire me. l should 8. have to
stay down there the whole week, and
my fee would be more than the whole
case is worth. couldn't &c down
there for less than $1,000. 1 could try
every case on the docket as well as
one, and it wouldn't cost any more,
for one case would take my time for
the entire week anyway"
"AH right, Mr.. Webster" quickly
responded the Nantucketer Here's
pour $1,000. You come down, and I'll
fix it 30 you can try every case"
Webster was 30 amused over his
word. He spent the entire week in
Nantucket, and appeared on one side
or the other in every case that came
up for hearing. The shrewd Nan
tucketer hired Daniel out to all his
friends who were in litigation. and
received in return about $500, so
thar he got Webster's services for
nothing and made a good profit to
boot.

BRYAN ON FOREIGN INFLUENCE.

Bryan contributes AN article to the
April plumber Of the Arena on "For-
eign Intlhehce id American Politics."
the gist of. which. is contained. = in >, the
following from the Denver RePubG-
can:
'Thfough a well chosen quotation
from the Review Of Reviews attention
is directed to the fact that the bond
holders of Europe determine the pol
icy OF nations in relation to one an
other, and that they manipulate state
councils for the purpose Of securing
the adoption OF measures through
which they may make money in the
rise or decline Of securities. Mr..
Bryan comments upon the fact that
this influence has made itself felt in
connection with the Cuban question.
There is no doubt that the sym
pathies of the men Of different nation
alities who constitute the Money
Power are directed along the lines
that give the greatest promise Of prof
it to themselves. The question of
peace or war with them is not one of
national honor, but Of opportunity to
make money. But it is especially
upon the influence of these foreign
money changers and security holders
In relation to the financial policy of
the United States that Mr.. Bryan
comments. The Republican party by
its st. Lonis platform declared that
the United States could Lot maintain
financial policy without consider
ing the views and wishes Of other
countries. This is shown by the dec
laration in favor Of international BIZ
metallism il the consent of the lead
ing nations of the old world should
be obtained, and the accompanying
declaration that until this co-opera.
ton should be secured it would be
necessary to adhere to the go d stand
ard.
In connection with this, Mr.. Bryan
uses the folloSng pertinent language:
"No European nation boasts OF its
policy upon financial questions, or.
indeed upon any other questions, to
be determined hy the people of the
United States; any party that wonld
advocate such doctrine in any Euro
pean nation would be held up to
public scorn and contempt; and yet,
there are many emlnently respectable
lii the United States who assert the
helplessness Of the A merican people
to restore bimetallism, however much
they may desire it, without an inter-
national agreement" The danger of
permitting foreign influence In this
way to control American affairs is
pointed out, and Washingtou's advice
to avoid that influence is quoted. 1t
would be well if the people would
listen to tl-ese words of advice from
the great leader of the forces Of free
coinage and determine that hence
forth the policy Of the United Estates
in financial and all other matters
shall be fixed solely by Americans.
