that is, captain, one sergeant and |
one private, and ordering the dis
charge OF all members exceeding !
this number. This makes a very |
marked reduction IN the ranger
force each company previous to this
order Numbering eight men. It is
true that the number was only in
creased to this size after the war
with Spain broke out last spring.
Before that date the ranger forces
were much smaller, each company |
then comprising tour men. The
cause of the present sweeping rsiuc-
tion is due to the amount Of money

HunneweIl JOintist Arrested.

From Saturdays Journal
Sheriff Heskett and Turner Barnett
went to Hunnewell early yesterday
morning with warrants for Otto Koch
and Robert BOaz, charging them with
selling intoxicating liquor. When
they reached Hunnewell, Koch aud
BOaz had skipped out and their joint
was locked. The joint was entered
and several cases Of beer secured.
The officers returned with the liquor
yesterday afternoon.
Last night Koch aud Boaz came to
Wellington and gave themselves up.
They said they had been to Wichita.
They gave bonds In the sum Of $500
each and were released. Their trials
are set for the 2lst inst, before Jus.
tice L, D. ChaddOn. The day is
Friday, and it is likely to be unlucky
for Koch, as this is bis second OffenSe
within few weeks.
The warrants for their arrest were
issued by the county attorney upon

TITS short and quite prosaic. There
used to be a moonshiner's still some
where in this neighborhood, and one of
the men was young Tom Cragin, the son
Of the mountaineer who owned the still.
One day the revenue men were trying to
arrest the party, and they chased young
Cragin out into this road. He ran
down that way, and two more officers
came out into the road ahead of him.
When he saw he was surrounded, he
climbed out to the point of that rock
and flung himself down."

A LOVER ON HORSEBACK.

1t is curious to observe how easily the
strands of repetition become twined
nto the strong yarn Of habit, and how,
"lmost of its own volition, the thread
hus twisted weaves itSelf into the fab
,ic of human life. When Mrs. Ludlow
Introduced Hugh Ringbrand at "The
haurels," Hester Latimer's first i'm
pressions of the young author were
rather unpleasant than otherwise. She
aid to herself, after Mrs. Ludlow had
,eparted with her guest, that he was
90 stiff and conventional; that he
.eemed i'll at ease; that he was too
ell-bred TO be congenial. Though she
lid not in the least suspect it, the
ource of her dissatisfaction lay in the
act that she had been prepared to lion
ie him because he was an author, and
was trife disappointing to be forced
- the conclusion that he was, after all,

different as they can be; and what
would they do without some one to plan
for them?"
Helen Ludlow had been the pretty
girl of her set and she had thrown
away the chances of matrimonial pre-
ferment which come naturally TO pretty
girls for the sake of the struggling
young mining engineer, whose first
opening had condemned the young
couple to social exile, There
was a touch of pathos in her
enthusiasm, and Ludlow answered
it with an afectionate smile. "You
are born matchmaker, Helen; it's q
pity you couldn't have wider field.
but if l were you, shouldn't interfere
too much in the present case; they are
not children, and the difficulties you
apprehend will not be the common
misunderstanding of a pair of foolish
young lovers"
"What will they be, Tom?"
They'll be much more serious, ]
imagine. You know Hester, perhaps
better than do; she is the incarnation
of the southern ideal-impetuous, self
willed, high-strung and impulsive, with
temperament that will be antagonis-
tic at many points to the more thought
full turn of mind of our story-writer.
And as for Ringbrand, he must be
greatly changed from the man used to
know at the university if he can't make
himself believe that Hester Latimer
embodies his ideal"
The wife's laugh had ripple of de-
rision in it "That shows how ridicu-
lous you men can be when you apply
your ponderous methods of logic to
things you don't understand" shesaid.
THE very things you call obstacles are
the best reasons in the world why there
should be no difficulties. Don't you see
they>are perfect opposites?"
"Perhapsyou are'right; butit doesn't
look reasonable. And then, besides,
there is the feud."
u don't see how foolish quarrel be-
tween the colonel and his neighbors
can have anything to do with Hugh
and Hester"
II do. If Ringbrand marries into
the family, he'll have to shoulder his
share of the fight; and, as 1 remarked
moment ago, he'll have to be changed
very much from the man l used to know
# he consents to assume any such re-
sponsibilities."
Mrs. Ludlow laughed again. You'll
see," she said, he'll do anything that's
necessary"
