A HUMANE BULLET.
A Connecticut Man Invents AisEile
which VIII Do Away with the
Usual FrightfuI Lacerations.

DR.. Robert d. Mullings, of Norwalk,
Conn, has invented what he believes
to be the most humane bullet yet Of
fered for use in civilized warfare. He
asserts it will do away with the fright
full lacerations about which so much
has been written since the United
States engaged Ia war with Spain.
The bullet is not unlike an ordinary
bullet, except that it has an opening,
which he calls q canal, practically all
the way through it. This opening, he
maintains, will prevent the explosion
Of projectile air after the bullet has
entered the body, and also will prevent
the entrance of air into the wound.
The new bullet has steel tube, ex-
tending from the tip to the butt, so
fastened at each end as not to weaken
the bullet or give it an opportunity
to exp,ode. At .he back of the bullet
against the opening into the tube, is
an aluminium wad, to prevent the es-
cape of the gaa generated by the pow
der. AS soon ss the bullet leaves the
she'll this aluminium wad detaches
itself, leaving the tube open.

Speaking as a Brother,

A certain curate was of a painfully
nervous temperament, and in conse.
quence was constantly making awk-
ward remarks-intended as compli-
ments-to the bishop and others. Hav-
ing distinguished himself in an un-
usual degree during a gathering OF
clergy at an afternoon tea at the bish-
ops palace, he was taken to task for
his failings by senior curate, who was
one of his companions on the way
home. Look here, Bruce" said the

Another Financial Burden.

The great art event of the year will be

These collections, which are owned

been taken to secure property adjoin-

ing him to be utterly unscrupulous,
had decided to enlist his services in
his own schemes.
On the very night Tom landed at
Dyea he was making the offer. He
first informed his new friend that his
name was Avery, then showed the let
ter from the old miners partner, also
the will drawn up on shipboard.
The other laughed insolently in his
face as he went on and sneered:
"Come off! Do yer take me for a
fool? If you was digging gold in 40
you was at it blasted young!"
Rider shrank before his look, and he
continued:
''See here, now, old man. Give us a
straight deal. Them papers amt none
of yourn. You've pinched 'em some
whar. Of course, that's your business,
an yer amt obliged ter split on yerself.
l amt man ter stick at trifies, but l
don't go in with yer blind. Now, in the
fust place, what's yer right name?"
Having obtained this information, he
continued:
"All right. Now, the next thing is,
how did yer git them papers?"
Rider dared not refuse to tell, but he
said, sullenly:
Il took them from young fellow in
Frisco"
ooh, you did! Now we are coming
down to biz. He give 'em up fer the
askin', dare say?"
"No," growled Rider, 81 knocked him
over and took 'em.''
Good! And did yer make clean job
of it? Did yer kill him?"
II don't know. He was alive the next
morning"
"Know who hit him?"
"No."
''Then you're all right, and I'll join
yer. But, see here, Rider, if that is your
name, there's one more to this than yer
think. You say there is one man up to
the place now besides the one that was
to come in after grub in the spring.
Now, why can't we run across this chap
on his way, and-well, he must be taken
care of. Then we can go to the place
where the gold is and look after your
other friend. We shall have the whole
shootin' match to ourselves then.

But what about. these men?" whis-
pered Rider.
bah! Yer chicken! They'll never
be missed!"
"You mean to murder them?'
''See here" said Bowers, don't you
be a fool. This thing has got to be
managed right, an it's lucky yer took
me in. You'd spoiled the whole
racket. Id like ter see yer work it
alone.'
Riders heart failed him for an in
slant, but pull at the whisky bottle
revived his courage, and for another
hour the two conspirators continued to
plot against the lives and wealth of
their fellows.
They had decided to start at once on
their villainous errand, and the follow
ing morning they were astir before day
light. They wished to avoid observation
as much as possible, and but few peo-
pie saw them as they loaded their

CHAPTER VI.-CoNTNUED.

AtSeattle there was no steamer ready
to sail for Dyea and they decided to
continue to Victoria, where they
learned they would arrive in time to
purchase their outfit and catch the
steamer Islander, which sailed on the
18th of the month, and was due in Dyea
five days later.
at Victoria they found the streets
thronged with men, each with an earn
est look on his face as he hustled
about. They were from all walks in life,
but all animated by the same purpose.
Some were buying horses, others learn
ing to secure packs with the famous
diamond hitch" which alone will an
swer the purpose. Others were purchas-
ing heavy woolens, belts to wear about
thewaist, with flaps that buttoned down
over the compartments.
Exposed for sale on every hand were
buckskin bags to hold gold, heavy iron
shod shoes, moccasins of moose hide,
with socks as thick as mans hand and
reaching to the knee, mittens, hats,
coats, flour, bacon, saddles, coffee, sacks
and everything was for the Klondike!
Men talked and thought of nothing
else. All were interested. Many of
them were to sail on the Islander with
our friends, who were fortunately in
time to secure passage. Some were 60
ing by one route and some by another
after reaching Skaguay, but no one
seemed to mention the Dalton trail, a
fact which both Tom and his friend
marked with satisfaction.
The purchase of an outfit would have
been a serious stumbling block but for
the advice of the storekeepers, who,
however, were not only very honest,
but very well posted as to the require
ments of miner. Toms knowledge
of horses came in very handily, and he
