The Canteen Question.

Washington, June 24.-With regard to
the maintenance of the canteens at Unit
ed States army posts, the acting secre-
tary of war said so far as the department
is concerned the matter is settled in favor
of maintaining the present system. When
the subject was brought up by the case
Of the Camp Meade canteen, the matter
was thoroughly investigated by the de-
partment, and reports from officers in all
branches of the service showed that from
every standpoint the army canteen as
now operated is infinitely better for the
interests of the soldier than the old sys-
tenn of post traders and low groggeries
on the outskirts of the posts.

Zinc Miners Make a Move.

Joplin, Mo-, June 24.-All of the zinc
mines of the MissouriKansas district
are to shut down for two weeks, if the
directions Of the Zinc Miners associa-
ton are complied with. This is the
trump card which the association has

to pay schedule prices for ore. The as

surplus ore, and by shutting down all of
the mines in the district for two weeks
will compel the smelters to use up all
ore on hand and then pay schedule prices
or shut down.

eyes, ana IHeu, JuTuluS lIOm Hill,
moved slowly toward the fireplace, and
vanished from his sight.
William Luke awoke to find himself
standing on the bare earth Of the hut.
The moon shone brightly through the
open window, upon the spot where, in
his dream, he had last seen his brother
This time he remembered all he had
dreamed.
HE is there" he cried-"foully muir
dered and buried there! Heaven help
me il am going mad"
Then, rushing down to the huts
where the men slept, he awakened the
whole station.
In less than an hour sturdy men,
with lanterns to light them at their
work, were busily engaged with pick
axes and shovels in raising the hearth
inside the hut.
Luke, in wild state of excitement,
was directing and urging them on to
their labors. The scene was a curious
one, as the whole population of the
place was gathered in ard around the
hut specializing as to what possible dis
covery there might be made.
The men had removed the rough
stones upon the hearth, and had dug
some four feet deep into the earth,
when they stopped to take breath.
go on-go on" shouted Luke.
Deeper down yet-deeper down."
Keep quiet, Luke!" demonstrated
Mr.. Hall. Your exciting yourself like
this can do no good"
Luke sat down upon a bench and
buried his face in his hands. He could
not endure even the moments delay
which the men required for rest from
their toll.
Again the hut resounded with the
sound of the pick and shovel at work.
But Luke looked up no more. Mr.. Halls
words had soothed his overweight
mind, and he waited patiently for what
might come.
Here's something anyhow" cried
one of the men-"a mans hand!"
Luke sprang to his feet, now unable
to control his excitement.
"Gently-we are on it now!" said
one. There is more beneath. Mercy
on us-it's Bob"
There, dismembered, lay the remains
of what once had been Robert Luke.
"At last! 1 knew it knew it,"
said voice solemnly; and William
Luke sank down upon bench shield
ing his eyes with his hands from the
horrid sight, and cried, Now may
Heaven send me my revenge!"

ACHAPTER XVI.

There was not the slightest difficulty
in identifying the body, for the mans
clothes, even TO the other half of the
broken belt, were buried with him.
When William Luke narrated his
dream, men looked at one another
aghast Even the most skeptical could
not doubt that he had actually seen a
vision of the murder as it really hap
pened. The one thing that grieved
him was that he had been unable to
see the face of the woman in the hut;
and thus his suspicious as to the con-
nection between Edward Bartlett, Anne
Dodson, and the late occupants of the
hut remained as unconflrmed as be-
fore.
Mr.. Hall at once communicated with
the police at Mount Gipps, and early
the next morning four troopers and
some black crackers appeared on the
scene.
Nearly two months had elapsed since
the departure of Baynes and his wife,
and nothing at all had been heard of
them. That they had murdered Robert
Luke there could be 10 possible doubt.
The excitement on the station was
intense, and people flocked from all
parts of the country to witness the
scene of the awful crime and to behold
the man who had dreamed that fearful
dream.
1t was suggested that an expedition
should be sent out 70 hunt all the
country round about.
az they are anywhere in the colony"
said Mr.. Hall, after long consultation
with the sergeant of the police, cit is
my opinion that they have taken to the
back country somewhere in the direc-
ton of the Gray Ranges. There they
might exist for years, if they happened
to drop across a good water-supply, I'M
seen by any mortal eye"
"But there is a vast sandy tract of
country between this and the Gray, is
there not?" inquired the sergeant.
eyes," replied Mr.. Hall; "but it is
lust possible that they succeeded in
crossing it. This has been an unusual
ly wet season; and, from what the
stock men have told me, all the creeks
and 'clay-pans out in that direction
ARE full of water. Jack knows the coun-
try well-better than anybody about
this neighborhood. He has often been
out for weeks together after stray
cattle that have gone that way"
Every well, sir,' said the sergeant;
81 am willing to do whatever you may
think best"
ut is decided then" replied Mr. Hall.
1--WE will take two weeks provisions on
pack horses, and see if we can't come
across their tracks"
This seemed a most sensible plan to
pursue, and accordingly a party was
organized, consisting of the sergeant,
three troopers, young Jack, Mr.. Hail.
William Luke, and-much to Mr. Halls
disgust-Sullivan the innkeeper.
Mr.. Hall did his utmost to prevent
Sullivan's joining the expedition. so

HIS TRICK SUCCEEDED.
Published Banns of Marriage to Revive
His Credit.


In a certain church a certain man
caused the banns of marriage to be
published between himself and lady
to whom he is not engaged and who
has no intention to marry him, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
He is poor and has no credit She is.
wealthy and at the time of the publica-
tions of the banns was in Europe. The
effect of the announcement was instan-.
taneous. The mans credit revived,
congratulations poured in, Nnd for a
few weeks he had a delightful life.
Then came letter from the lady in the
case. She denied her engagement to
the audacious and penniless one and
threatened to bring proceedings against
him for libel. But suppose he pleads
that he had hopes of the lady; who can
prove that he had not? Then few per-
sons understand the real object of pub
fishing the banns. 1t is popularity
thought that they are made public to
bring out such facts as whether either
party has been previously married and
has a partner still alive or whether
they are under age. The true object
of banns being published was to give
the church wardens an opportunity to
object if the parties were poor and
likely to be charge on the parish.
