CHAPTER II.
AN INTERRUPTION.

The first notice that reached Lieuten
ant Oakman was the sound of laugh.
Ordinarily the emotion Of mirth is con-
tagious, but in this instance it sent a
shiver down his spine, for its meaning
was conducive to anything but merri-
ment. He had been discovered while
engaged in a most delicate and danger
GUS business.
The officer turned his head like fash
and saw standing on the edge of the
wood behind him negro boy not more
than 10 years old, barefoot, with trou-
sers held in place by single suspender
and a rickety hat without a crown.
The ebony face was bisected by grin
which displayed set of teeth that a
princess might have envied, while in
his right hand he held switch, which
he had probably broken from a tree that
he might carry it for his own amuse-
ment.
When he observed the angry counte-
nance of the horseman turned toward
him, the urchin remarked:
81 seed what yo' war doin.''
"What was I doing, young man p
demanded the lieutenant severely.
"Tryin to flirt wild Miss Adele 1 hai
my eye on yo'."
"Whom do you mean by Miss Adele p
Instead of making direct reply tht
negro lad threw back his head ani
broke into uproarious mirth. The ques
tion struck him as the funniest thing
he had ever heard, and he belonged tx
a race that laughs upon the slightes
provocation.
The officer grew angry. He saw I
peril that must be nipped in the bud

WHO is TO BLAME.

Kidney trouble has become SO prev
alent that it is not uncommon for a
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control the passage, and it is
yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend
upon it, the cause of the difficulty is
kidney trouble, and the first step
should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This un-
pleasant trouble is due to a diseased
condition of the kidneys and bladder
and not to habit as most people sup
pose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain or
dull ache in the back; if the water pass
es in irregular quantities; or at ire
gular intervals or has bad odor; if it
stains the linen or vessel the color of rust:
if the feet swell; if there are puffy or
dark circles under the eyes; your kid
neys are the cause and need doctoring.
Treatment of some diseases may be de-
layed without danger, not so with kid
ney disease.

and, wheeling his mare around, he
pricked her satin flank with his spur.
She responded with switch of the tail
and a leap that almost brought her
down npon the urchin, but the latter
was f,isky and whisked behind the
nearest tree trunk, from which his big
eyes peeped with the dilapidated hat
above them.

Seeing that other means must be
tried, the lieutenant changed his tone.

The times are getting better, the
world is getting better, in fact every
thing is getting better than it was.
The thought and literature of the world
was never SO pure as it is today. Mans
inhumanity to man never caused so few
to mourn as it does just now. There is
more liberty in the state, more love in
the home, more hope in the heart than
ever known before. The world has
been humanized till the will of nations
seems but a quick response to the wants
and wish of man.. There is relatively
far less drunkenness and debauchery
than in any former age. The life of
the laymen is more godly than that of
the priest of long ago. The influence OF
women was never so profound and uni

"Luftent Oakum, yo'd better git out

"Whyf"
"Dere's some folks dat am lookin fur
yo'."
"Thank you, Rastus, but have no
fear"
"Yo' oughter hab, cause dey hab
found yo'."
"What do you mean ?" asked the Un-
ion officer, with a sudden, vague fear.
Another individual answered the
question with the sharp command:
Surrender, Yank, and be mighty
quick about itp'
"Not muchr" was the reply of Lieu
| tenant Oakman, who had deserted his
danger at the same instant he heard the
crisp summons.

"No, sah," responded the boy, with
admirable pluck.

"Cause yo' wants to cut dere heads

the officer smile in turn.

That removed all difficulty and won the

youngsters, he was gifted with a wei

SEND FOR the FOOL.KILLER.

The fools are not all dead yet. Neither
are the habitual liars who think they
can make fools of other people. Several
of these thimble-headed fakirs are en-
ployed on the staff of the World Herald
for the sole purpose of fabricating cam
paign lies. Day in and day out the most
sensational fakes are ground out and
spread broadcast to divert attention
from the impostors who are trying to
hold themselves in power or to get into
office as reformers.
The last and most idiotic of all fakes
is the report that 100000 had been sent
to Rosewater by Mark Hanna to carry
the election in Nebraska against Hol-
comb and the fusion reformers. Why
not make 1t six hundred thousand dol
lars or six millions? Such little matter
as adding two or three ciphers to fake
would not disturb the conscience of
paid campaign liar, would it?
But really IL Rosewater had 100000 to
disburse, what would be the use of
keeping Bryan and Altgeld and Towne
and the smaller fry on the jump from
place to place to save the state to the
popocrats? Sixty thousand dollars
would buy up enough popocrats to leave
Holcomb without a corporal's guard ON
election day.
This story about Hanna's 100000 bar
rel is not the first fake of the kind. 1t
is an old chestnut, and the idiot who
repeated it is evidently suffering from
softening of the brain. Application of
a stuffed club to such fool might cure
him of his habit. The next time the
poor fellow runs out of fakes he ought
to give us something fresh. Possibly he
will give us another dose on the Rose.
water Moores machine that carries pri-
maries with Assyrian voters from the
Streets Of Cairo who have lived in
Omaha from three to ten years.
Perhaps the champion fakir will also
serve up on the half-shell that delectable
story of a drunken vagabond and wife
beater who pretends to have gone to
| Council Bluffs to assist the republicans
| in carrying the primaries for Gear
delegation and came back unpolluted
and without casting his precious vote in
the wrong ballot box. And then we
may expect another chapter on the re-
volt Of the Bohemians and the uprising
among the Jews and mournful dirge
about the Afro-Amercans who regis
tered themselves as republicans, but will
vote the democratic ticket unless Han.
