Without OmciaI Information.


 Washington, Aug. 3.-The marine hospital service was, up to D. m., without official information concern ing the yellow fever situation at the Hampton (Va.) soldiers home. The presence of the disease at Phoebus, as indicated in the press dispatches, has not been officially communicated to Dr. Wyman. The accuracy of the re- port, however. is not doubted, as such condition of affairs was anticipated. A house to house inspection of the vil- lage has been ordered.
 A Careful Inspection.
 Surgeon Snowden, at Alexandria, has been directed to carefully inspect all persons arriving by rail or water from Hampton and vincinity, and to keep them under detention if neces- sary. Similar instructions have been sent to marine hospital officers at all Chesapeake bay ports.
 Difficulty in Moving Troops.
 Washington, Aug. 3.-Some difficult ty has been encountered ii the pro- posed removal of troops from Fort Monroe. None of the steamship com ranies will take them, and just at present no government transports arc available. It was intended that tho troops should be conveyed by the Pennsylvania railroads transport from Fort Monroe to Cape Charles, and by the Pennsylvania road to Battery Point, but the Norfolk authorities noti. lied the Pennsylvania officials that if the transport was used for that pur- pose she would not be allowed to ente; Norfolk for five days. which would cut off communication for the railroad be tween Cape Charles and Norfolk.
 VIII Not Go to Battery Point.
 Surgeon-General Wyman made an other vigorous protest against sending the troops to Battery Point, and earn estly recommended to the war depart ment the advisability of placing them farther north
 Gen. Merritt finally acceded to the recommendation, and the garrison Will be sent to some place farther north than Battery Point. Del. The location has not yet been fixed.
 It is stated at the war department that the request of Gov. Tyler that q sufficient number of United States troops be retained at Fort Monroe tc act as quarantine guard can not be granted, as there is no authority to use troops for such purposes.

motherly hostess, who waited on me
with as much attention as if l were the
son whom she had laid to rest long
years before. She, too, addressed me
few inquiries under the belief that ]
was what was not. l did not correct
her, for to do so was likely to cause
furry that would interfere with the fine
dinner to which l did justice.
l had Just set down my coffee cup at
the conclusion of the meal when loud
and angry voices sounded on the out
side. There were Oaths, the scutt1ing OF
feet, and then it seemed as if dozen
men swarmed into the barroom. Amid
the babel | could hear Landlord Bull
finch ordering them to keep back and
not invade his house against his will.
But the savage mob would not be de.
MED, and the oaths grew louder and
fiercer.
Aunt Mag was passing around the
head of the sable when the uproar first
broke upon us. She stopped abruptly
and listened. Then l saw her scanned
countenanoe grow white, as if under
the impulse of a great fear.
"What's the meaning of all that
hubbub?" l asked, with never suspi-
ciou that it could have any reference to
me.
"I'm afeard,. Hank
At that instant the door of the dining
room was dashed inward with viO-
lence that almost carried it off its
hinges and Landlord Bultinch bounded
in, his shaggy face the picture of terror.
my God, Hank, they re after you'll!
he .gaspcd. "Run up stairs and jump
out the winder Mebbe you can git your
horse out Of the barn"
rose from my chair with my hand
on my revolver.
"They're after me, you say. What
do they want of me?"
"They're going to lynch you, Hank!
l tried to hold 'em back till you got a
chance, but it's too late"

equal to that which speedily followed.
That old age is entitled to certain privi-
leges was proved by the next remark of
the landlord, who removed his pipe
from his mouth and asked with a
chuckle:
"And how's Esther"
The question was a startling one, and
but for what he had said a few minutes
before | should have suspected he re-
ferred TO sister or relative, but it was
clear that he had tenderer relation in
mind. | blushed and answered offhand,
with light laugh:
'Shes as blooming as a peach, the
queen of her SEX
"a right likely gal and no mistake, !"
was the hearty comment of the squire.
"Sho'll have fine plantation when the
colonel drops out"
1t seer,sd now that the farce had
gone far enough, and was on the point
of breaking into ringing laughter and
assuring my friends that | was not only
not Hank Boyer, but had not the re-
mOtest idea of the personality of the

but these delightful old fellows oozed
knowledge so fast that it was delicious
to drink it in.
However, | could not forget l was
ravenously hungry, having eaten moth
ing since leaving the old inn at South
field that morning. l therefore asked
the landlord how soon it would be con-
venient for him to furnish me with a
substantial meal
"I'll see, he replied, passing through
the door on his right and returning in
a few minutes with the welcome words:
"Yuu can go i'll now. We hahn t
much to give you, but l hope it'll suit
I'll take your valise and umbrella up
stairs to your room, and you can wash
there in the corner"
1t takes rough experience like mine
had been to appreciate true southern
hospitality. The meal of pone, corn
bread and bacon, with fragrant coffee,
was one of the most enjoyable of my
life, for it was seasoned with the most
powerful of all sauces-hunger. Aunt
Meg, as she was called by all, was a

CHAPTER ii.

l smiled as | read this letter, so char
acteristic of President Heemance's S fru
gality of mind. Although most of the
stolen funds had been recovered he was
worrying over the comparatively slight
expense to which l was subjecting the
bank by this trip into the interior of
Mississippi.
The anonymous letter referred to had
been forwarded from New York to AL
dine, whence it was remailed to Mr..
Heemance. He was so pleased over the
prospect of securing Castleton, the de-
faulter, without their help that after
my departure he showed Inspector
Byrnes the letter. That sagacious man
instantly suspected the truth. The let
ter was a blind, and, though the hand
was disguised, he soon convinced the
president that it was written by Castle
ton himself. With this clew the crimi-
nal was soon located and arrested in
New York. This side issue of my mar
rative may be dismissed with the state
ment that the miscreant received his
Just deserts and is now doing a long
term in Sing Sing.
81 see no reason for Fastening my re-
turn" 1 thought as l placed the letter
in my pocket. 81 have had no vacation
this year and am entitled to two weeks
anyway. One thing is .certain-New
York will see nothing of me until that
time is up, and shan't surprise myself
if am delayed somewhat longer"
The afternoon was drawing to a close
when the landlord returned from the
tumble down stable and sat down on the
front porch with me, beside his crOny,
who was silently smoking his corncob.
"Waal, Hank, how S things been with
you?" he asked heartily as he proceeded
to refill ami light his pipe.
1t was evident that he had mistaken
me for some one else, and | was in that
frame of mind that | humored the mis-.
take.
Give never felt better How is it

CHAPTER III.

Amid the fright of that moment the
feeling was strong upon me that a
grotesque mistake had been made. Why
should these people wish to do me bodi-
ly harm? l had committed no crime
since my entrance into the state of Mis-
sissippi, and men could not be stirred
to such violence by any cause other than
an outrageous violation of law.
But the peril was imminent, and l
had scarcely time to draw my weapon
and back against the wall when the
mob swarmed in after the landlord. AS
the foremost were making for me l lev
eled my weapon and called out:
"Halt; the first one lays a hand on
me will be dead manp'

S5O"-
l said more, but not syllable was
audible. Every one seemed i'll danger of
apopleXy from furious merriment. They
struck one another, flung their hats
down, and one caught up plate from
the table and shattered it over the head
of Landlord BultinCh, who seemed un-
aware of the proceeding. The uprOar
lasted for several minutes, when DUNCAN
managed to make himself heard His
remarks may be characterized as point
edly personal.
81 never knowed horse thief that
wasn't coward. Hank, if you want to
save your neck from the moose, you'll
have to get up better yarn than that.
'Twon't do.
LET me ask you question, L said
in deadly earnest, for it looked certain
that the matter was to be settled by
fight.
"Waal, what is it?'
"You would not stand by and see an
innocent man hanged, would you?'
"We amt going to hang any inno-
cent man. We've got hold of the worst
horse thief i'll the state. We amt max
ing any mistakes there Hank. "
"But you are. That the resemblance
between me and this Hank Boyer is
very close is clear. Nevertheless he is
another person altogether. | have in
my pocket the warrant for the arrest of
our absconding cashier, and l can prove
my identity by other papers.
l lowered my weapon and started to
bring out the documents, when DUNCAN
waved his hand.
''It's no use to keep up this fooling.
We don't want to see any of the papers
that was stole or fixed up for this bus
ness
"But the real thief, the genuine
Hank Boyer, is standing in this room
with me-"
Before any explanation could be
asked of this remark, pointed my fin
ger at the young man by the door and
said impressively:
"There stands the criminal for whom
you are looking. He is the real Hank
Boyer.
