The Boston Herald is alarmed lest
sportsmen should not have observed
that the legislature has just made
Sunday a close season all the year
round and that some unwary enthusi-
asts may find themselves in the Gus
tody of a country constable. Inasmuch
as this law was largely the result Of
the efforts Of the Worcester game pro-
tectors. the warning is of peculiar 10
cal interest. All the same, the pot
hunters do not yet think they have
/ seen their finish. for Sunday laws do
not enforce themselves.

over the strange adventures Of a Brook
Ignite of the name of Emil Marx.
Mr.. Marx, who is barber, II was re-

Of his wife. He was surprised on reach-
Ing home TO find burglar under the
bed in his apartment, and still mora
surprised to find that burglar woman.
The woman declined to come out un.
til verbal protocol had been agreed to,
The barber rested his weapon upon the
floor. Then the white bundle was
pushed from under the bed, and, rs the
enveloplng sheet gave way, there were
disclosed seven petticoats, q skirt. y
jacket and other personal effects OF the
BARRIERS recently buried wife. Last Of
all, feet first and with clumsy effort,
the burglar crawled from her hiding

A STRANGE MANIA.
Dispatcher Turned switch when Ne
Knew It Meant . Trains
Destruction.

A singular psychological phenom-
enon occurred ut Hagerstown, Nd, the
other day. Governed by some impulse
which he cannot explain and could not
control the train dispatcher on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at that point
committed an error Of which he was
fully conscious at the time and which
was followed by fatal and destructive
consequences. He says that he sim
ply could not help It. No. 10 freight
was coming down the road at full speed,
with right of way. The track was
open. the signals were all properly set,
and II the dispatcher had gone to sleep
or left his post or turned his back and
looked out Of the window the train
would have passed on to its destination
and all would have been well; but,
prompted by some irresistible infiu-
ence, he stepped across the tower, seized
the handles Of one Of the levers, and
threw switch which turned the train
upon another track occupied by an
idle locomotive, only few yards away.
When the engineer Of the freight saw
that the switch was turned he blew an
alarm on his whistle and reversed his
throttle, but the heavy train Of "a load
ed cars was coming down a grade at q
speed Of 10 miles an hour. and struck
the dead engine with tremendous
force. The fireman jumped. The en-
gineer attempted TO do so. but was
caught In some manner and killed.
One Of the brakemen was thrown of
a cur and so badly injured that he has
since died. Both engines were prac.
tically destroyed and 100000 worth Of
freight was SO badly damaged that the
company had TO pay forit.
The train dispatcher was a man OF
middle age, temperate habits. good
judgment, and had been In the service
l2years without getting mark against
him. No dispatcher or operator on the
road had better reputation or was
considered more reliable, yet he says
that he knew he was doing wrong when
he pulled the lever and was unable to
resist the impulse that impelled him.
He made no effort TO evade the re-
sponsibility or excuse his conduct.
When he saw the disaster he had caused
he threw himself down on the floor
OF the tower and cried like child. He
offered himself for any punishment
that might be imposed, has been in
dicted by the grand jury. and will plead
guilty on the charge Of manslaughter
at the next term Of court.-Washington

Mrs. Tremaine nursed him like a
mother, Heaven bless her! and now
Miss Florence reads to him by the

And at this point in Whittaker's in
nocent missive, Mrs. Hayne, who was
clinging to her husbands arm and
reading with him, suddenly looked up
in his face and said: "0h, Lawrence!
wouldn't that be-almost ideal?"
"Tloy" Tremaine. rs she was called

and reared in the Rifers. Two years
of her life had been spent in the east at
school, but with that exception II had
known no companionship or association
outside the garrison that was the tenn
porary home of her fathers company.
An open-air, joyous, healthful life II
was, admirable for nerves, arteries and
digestion, yet destructive to complex

brown as n Navajo, when they took
her to ST. Anne's to school. where she
was promptly dubbed "the Squaw."
The first six months there, despite the
fact that her mother was near at

Florence and some of the prairie tan
from her face. Her big. soft brown eyes
grew even more eloquent and pathetic,
and her pretty mouth gained some visit

they to her, until her father came In

CHAPTER III.

Two days after the receipt of the m
nouncement Of Fanny Hayward's en-
gagement to Mr., McLane and a few
weeks before the marriage, Randolph
Merriam had left Fort Sedgwick in COM
mand Of q detachment of cavalry es-
corting q government survey 10 the
Mescalero range. 1t was not his tour.
The detail belonged to Harrison, a
younger officer, who had been saving up
all winter for a two-months' leave and
q chance to spend his savings at the
great exposition at Chicago. A relent-
less colonel would allow him no leave,
because 10 was his turn for field duty,
and because so many officers wished to
90 to the fair that II was out Of the
question as to expect anyone to. offer to
take the detail for him. The detach-
ment would be In the field at least three
months, possibly four. Harrison, con-
sequently, was the'b.uest man at Sedg-
wick, and said more hard things about
governmentsurveys and more improper
things, than could weilbe recorded here.
Everybody had been congratulating
Merriam on the final receipt Of what the
lawyers didn't scoop" of his little leg
acy, and for two weeks he had been rs
happy rs Harrison was miserable.
Then, to the utter amaze of everybody,
just the day before II was time for the
command to start Il wns announced
that Harrison's application for leave
had gone forward approved, and that
Merriam had asked for and been grant

Jog through the toughest and most for

even got the colonel's permission TO 60

only by an orderly. People couldn't be-

WESTERN CANADA Is ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing . number Of
neighboring farmers In Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict Of western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result Of their trip. They think 20
well Of the country that, in addition to
the privilege Of obtaining free home
stead Of 100 acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In q recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. c. z. and
A. Hughes, of GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
I'VE are well pleased with western
Canada. II IL far ahead Of what we
expected. Az for the crops, we have
never seen anything that can compete
with them. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some Of what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well in that part Of the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free of all encumbrance, but be-
lieve that this country (western Cam
a6a) is SO much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way company one section Of land
northeast of Edmonton, in the Beaver
Hill district. We have travelled through
that part Of the country, and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount Of land that II was taken OIL,
and find that they have grown rs much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
they say that this has not been a good
year, and very little II any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful. and II you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for rs cents per ton, or you
can dig It yourself. Nearly all kinds
of garden truck can be grown in abun-
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell us that they can get four and q
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three-year-old steers from $50
to $50 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part of
the country next summer. All the peo-
pie in that part of the country seem sat
isfied, and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So"
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad to afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
they had visited the fullest informa-
ton, on receiving inquiries at Barnes
vile, Clay county, before the first of
June next, when II is understood they
propose to return to the Edmonton dis
trict.

proved. Mr.. Merriam has my consent
TO take that escort In his stead" But
hadn't he told anybody? Didn't any
body know? were the very natural ques-
lions asked. No. Merriam's one init.
mate and chum In his regiment was Bill
Whitaker. and Bill was away up at
Santa Fe at the time, q witness before
a general court-martlal. Merriam was q
frequent visitor at the Haynes quar-
terS and everybody knew taht In his
own regiment he had no warmer friends
than Capt. and Mrs. Lawrence Hayne,
Of the Rifers, and Merriam had had q
long talk with Hayne before calling on
the colonel. but no one who knew
either Hayne or his charming wife ever
thought Of trying to extract from them
information as to other peoples person
al affairs. Old Buxton, the dragoon-of-
the-old-army-sort Of lieutenant colo
mel, did try to pump the captain,
but was most coolly and civilly snubbed
for his pains. Buxton was man Hayne
never spoke to except in the most
formal way. There had been some
trouble between them ever so long ago,
when Hayne was young second lieu
tenant and "Bux" the senior captain Of
the --th cavalry. The softening touch
OF time had efraced much of the bitter
ness OF that old, old story. Hayne had
twice been stationed at the same garri-
son with Buxton, and found 1t awkward
to preserve the rule Of nonintercourse
with q field officer who was frequently
In command. SO he spoke respectfully
and courteously to his senior whenever
they met but the courtesy was MS cold
and the meetings as rare as he could
make them. Bux. however, "bore no
malice" us he said, and was quite ready
to be magnanimous and forgive Hayne
for what had transpired in the past, but
then Buxton, not Hayne, had heen the
offender. Indeed, Buxton was pachy-
dcrm on whom snubs had little effect.
He believed Hayne knew why Merriam
had asked for his most undesirable de-
tail, and so importuned him with eager
inquiry-nll to no purpose. Harrison
blissfully went on to Chicago and Mer-
riam out to the Mescalero, and was no
more heard Of or from for several weeks.
Then the news came that he was Sc
riously i'll with mountain fever Mt the
cantonment on Catamount creek. and
Bill Whitaker was hurried thither to
tola nyar fha command
In q week there came n letter from
him to Capt. Hayne, and this was what
Il said:

cscing. but woefully limp and weak.

when the men brought him in. They
saw that he was burning with fever for
days, and begged him TO go to the can

babe them mind their own business
and obstinately stuck to the work. The
gentlemen of the survey soon saw that
he was going Eighty and, later. dc.iri-

telling the sergeant he must be sent
thither. They made forc-and-aft lit
