J.MAT ADAMS.
l.. & N. Agent Succeeded by c e.
rlilIer Of Illinois.

Mr.. J. Mat Adams, for ten years
the local agent of the l.. & N. rail-
road, has been succeeded by Mr..
c. e. Miller, Of Muscootah, III.
The change is said to be due to the
recent Fishbeck trouble A young
man named Fishbeck was sent here
to fill place in the Office and a few
weeks ago he was caught robbing
the office The amount lost by his
dishonesty "as about $40 and Mr..
Adams was asked to make this
good. He declined, claiming that
he was not responsible for Fish
beck's appointment, and was not
informed of his real character.
Some hot letters passed and Mr..
Adams closed his last one by ask
ing that be relieved from duty.
This was done.
Mr.. Miller, the new agent, is
young man of considerable expert
ence and comes we'll recommended.
Mr.. Adams has been the most
popular agent the L. g. N. has ever
had here and the company has few
if any better men in its employ. He
will remain here tor a mouth or two
resting up and in the fall VIII re-
sumo the railroad business some
where else. He has already re-
ceived an offer from a Western
road at $50 month. 1t is more
than likely that he will be REIN
stated by the L. & N. and trans
ferred to some position that will
come in the nature of a promotion.

epringing suddenly upon Ricardo, his
trainer. Wallace, the lion of the
"Anglo-American School of Zoology"
at Woodside park. Philadelphia, caught
the man by the left arm and would
have killed him but for the prompt &C.
ton on the part Of Ricardo and the at
PENDANTS.
No exhibition had been given with
the lion since the show had come from
Chester several days ago. The heat
had irritated the big animal and had
made his ugly temper even worse than
it is ordinarily. he was FESTIVE and
hard to control. No one except Ricardo
would go near the brute. .......
Every afternoon the trainer en-
tered the cage to give Wallace his daily
exercise. Ricardo went into the cage
about four o'clock in the afternoon for
drill with the lion. He had scarcely
entered when Wallace sprang at him
and caught him by the left arm below
the elbow. The lion bit him a second
time in the lower part of the arm.
AS he did so Ricardo shot at him with
the revolver which he was carrying in
his right hand. He Missed but the sho OF
scared the lion and he released the
trainer. Attendants Of the show, run
ming up, kept the big brute in one cor
ner of the cage while others dragged
Ricardo out through the door.
His left arm was lacerated and the
flesh torn from the bones. The arm
began to swell at once. and Ricardo
was taken in hurry to the Presby-
terrain hospital. After having the
. wounds treated and dressed the trainer
returned to the show. Hundreds Of ex-
cited people witnessed the attacks.

The proverbial "bull in the china

Of the Ebbitt house, Washington, de-

he were child and pried out the
brown mass. "Well!" she said, re-

you boys Ito Ronald and David)
'help lift i'm OUT
Dave sprang into the cart, and Ron
aid was about to do the same. when
Fanshaw's distended eyes fell on him.
The old man raised his hands as if to
ward off blow and cried in words
now easily understood: ''Take i'm
away; he wants to kill mel"
Ronald paused, but Fanshaw's ter
ror did not abate. He got to his feet
quickly and springing from the cart
he ran. his knees knocking together,
across the road towards the woods.
''Stop i'm, he's tryin' to kill me! He
wants me to tell i'm who he is, an
whar t'other is buried!"
A remarkable change came over Mrs.
Fanshaw; she turned quickly to Ron
aid, and with an uneasy smirk, said:
Don't you go nigh i'm, Ron; he's
clean out'n his senses, an thar amt
no tellin' what quar- otion might strike

Ronald stood wondering, as Tarbell
and Dave ran after the old; man. They
caught him by his arms and began to
half carry, half drag him towards the
house. But Fanshaw's distended eyes
were still fixed on Ronald in alright and
he struggled and fought his captors like
a wild man.
"I'm not agoin' to have i'm put me in
JAIL" he snorted. "He's done reported it
to Reddin', an together they are agoin'
to have me swing for what I never
done!" F..

CHAPTER XVIII.

The next month was December
Christmas day was made known to
the Fanshaws chiefly by the fireworks
which were discharged by the negroes
on the Hasbrooke estate. The dawn
came in with q great footing of horns
beating of old pans, the discharge OF
guns, the bursting of inflated hog
bladders. There was to be cake
walk in the barn, dance, barbecued
OK, a glorious feast, a Christmas tree
The Fanshaws were not going to in
dulpe even in an extra dinner. Ronald
had remembered his hands by pres
ents OF money, but they were going
to spend it in town. Something, how
ever, did happen to mark the day as
en- eventful one. Old Jade Fanshaw
was brought home in Bud Tarbell's
dump cart, on pile of wheat straw
covered by an old quilt. This oc-
Cured about IL o'clock in the day
Ronald remembered that it took place
Just as the dinner bell rang at earn
leigh. Bud Tarbell told the little
group in the front yard that Jade
wasn't dead an they needn't be
skeerd." He explained that he was
driving along a mountain road looking
for sticks of lightwood when he saw
Fanshaw walking ahead of him as
sound as a dollar as far as he was
able to see. He looked away for
minute and then he saw Fanshaw
down on his all-fours, crawling along
with head down like grazing COW.
AT fust I was afeerd of i'm, fur he
was actin mighty curis," observed
Tarbell, "but terrectly his knee j'ints
seemed to flicker an he come down
kerplunk in the mud on his stomach
Then I drive up an put i'm in my
cart"
Mrs. Fanshaw was always calm
woman; she went out at the gate
waddled up to the cart, and shook the
human heap on the straw.
"Looky heer, what's a-ailin' OF you
Jade?' she asked, seeing his eyes open
Fanshaw sat up slowly, but he
locked ike . man with only shadow
Of . soul in him; his eyes glared in
chastity sockets and their whites had
turned red. As he looked round at
the group he seemed to recognize
them, but q shifting look Of terror
was in his glance. He began to work

GUN CARRIAGE CONTROVERSY.
ce,te,t ito, Between Gems. NILES, Bue-
Angtoa AID Wilson Referred to
Board Of Ordnance.

The controversy on disappearing
gun carriages which was waged so
Aercely between Gen. Miles and Gen.
Burlington. chief of ordnance, and
Gen. Wilson, army chief of engineers,
has been carried to the board or ord
nance and Notifications. Gen. Miles
In communication to the secretary
of war last October called attention
to what he believed was fatal and
costly error Of this government in
building so many expensive disappear
ing gun carriages as mounts for the
big guns of our coast defense. He
called attention to the practice OF
foreign governments who maintain
similar Notifications. The disappear
ing gun carriage system was prac-
tically abandoned abroad, and he be-
lieved that this government is build
ing too many such types of mounts.
His position in the matter was COM
bated by Gen. Burlington and Gen.
Wilson, and good deaA Of volumin-
Gus and somewhat spicy official cor
respondence was exchanged. The

threatened open rupture between
headquarters of the army and the

engineers. The conflict was averted
by Secretary Root, who sent for the
officers and insisted that the contro-
versy should be conducted on strictly
technical lines.
The question raised by Gen. Miles
has now been referred to the board of
ordnance and Notifications, of which
Gen. Miles is president and Gems. Will

Glad of an excuse to get away from
the narrowing scene our hero went up
to his room. Presently he heard the
clatter of HOLM allied boots on the porch.
The old man, now pacified, was being led
like a dumb animal to his room. Then
all was quiet below. The silence lasted
till he heard Dawes voice outside
speaking through broken window
pane to his mother. ....
I'm a-goin' to ride fur doctor" he
was saying.
The floor complained of its burden
as Mrs. Fanshaw went out on the porch.
SWELL" she replied, ''you might as
we'll, reckon; but 1 wouldn't git Sloan;
he'll charge two prices, an dun US to
death. It hain't nothin' but stroke

body"
Later in the afternoon Ronald had
come down and was sitting before the
fire in the living room. The man had
fallen asleep, watched by Bud Tarbell,
who had sent his cart home and offered
his services according TO the custom
among neighbors in that vicinity. Mrs.
Fanshaw came in and began to look for
a bottle of liniment on the mantel-
piece. ..,...-.
''Dr. Wade's jest gone off, she told
Ronald, che says it's the second stroke
he's had, an that the next one will
carry i'm off as sure as preachin'. If
was you wouldn't go nigh i'm, Ron,
it's best to humor pussons like he is
Our hero made no reply. Dave came
from the sick room and stood on the
stone hearth warming his toes at the
flames. Mrs. Fanshaw had found the
bottle for which she was searching, and
turned to go.
HE won't last long," she said to
Dave; "seems to me heerd yore pa say
he left off payin' on his life insurance. "

9espondently. II had put good money

the old woman; 'some n would "a hap

reachin' US anyhow. We never was
born under good star"
Ronald looked up. "You needn't let
that bother you, mother he said, soft
ly. 1.-The insurance policy is all right;
I attended to it,"
The sudden change in Mrs. Fanshaw
was not alone due to gratified surprise.
Ronald thought he had never seen her
look at him quite so strangely. She
started to say something, which seemed
to have rushed impulsively to her
tongue, and then she shook her shout
Gers, closed her lips tightly and left the
room.
Dave laughed. "she certainly acts
peculiar to-day he said. Dang it, pa
does, too, as for that matter. Iwish you
could a heerd i'm rant about you jest
now. He thinks you've got old Reddin'
an twenty other lawyers on his track

To this observation our hero made
no response.
