tracts in later years, all of which were let

body who would dare take hand in
such an enterprise. She spent that
night in the farmhouse and the next
day she drove back absolutely alone in
search Of her husband and child. Near
the spot where she had been separated
from them she found her husbands hat,
the little cap worn by the baby, stained
with blood, and a pool of blood by the
roadside. She spent all that day alone
on that road and returned at night to
the farmhouse. Here she stayed a
month making inquiries and searches
in all directions for more conclusive
proof of the death of her child and
husband. Finally the old farmer came
to her one day with the report that one
of the robbers had just died and that
he had made deathbed confession that
he had shot and killed Capt. Lancaster.
The baby, he said, was not killed at the
time, as there was some reluctance
among the men as to who should do II.
They had gotten over this difficulty by
drawing straws and the man upon
whom the task had fallen had prom

CHAPTER v.

After supper that night the three
gentlemen remained at the table after
the ladies had left, to smoke and drink
their wine. The windows of the big din
ing-hall opened like door onto the
veranda, and Capt. Wrinkle, faultlessly
attired in Tuxedo coat, low waistcoat
and snowy shirt and necktiet watched
the three ladies furtively as they, arm
in arm, promenaded back and forth in
the light of the big kerosene. lamp on
a post where the carriages stopped. 1t
was not the colonel's habit to dress for
the evening meal, especially in the hot
season, so he stu were his cool suit of
brown linen, and, in this respect, Mr..
Hardy was glad to keep him company,
as he had really come to the country for
an easy, unceremonious outing. The
colonel liked nothing better than good
listeners, and, as he slipped his wine
and smoked, his pink complexion fair
ly shone while he discoursed on favor
lite topic of his-the beauty and many
virtues of the only lady guest in his
house, Mrs. Lancaster, u snowy haired
widow not fur from the colonel's age.

"She is hard to get at; she travels SO ex-
tensively, and am sure we never would
have her now if 1T were not for Evelyn;

daughter. Why, I'll bet Mrs. Lancaster

odds the most exclusive woman in the

'Iampretty sure" remarked the colo
mel, tentatively, "that she is very well
to do-that is, I judge SO by the life
she leads; it is one of expensive luxury
from beginning to end"
II happen to know that she is decid-
eddy rich," replied Hardy. ut seems

war, owned extensive lands in the south

"Her husband was not killed while
actually in SERVICE" explained Has
brooke, "and his death was q most
tragic one" The colonel looked round
the room and seeing James, the black
butler, standing behind his chair, hold
ing napkin and corkscrew, he said:
II shall ring when want you,
James,"
When the negro had bowed himself
from the room, Col. Hasbrooke contin-
ued. eyes, Mrs. Lancaster's life has
been a sad one; she has revealed the
great grief of her life to very few, and
then only to her most intimate friends.
She had been married to Lancaster only
about two years when the first shot
from Fort Sumter set his blood on,
fire. He was one of the first in South
Carolina to offer his services, and as he
had had some military training and was
highly educated he was made a captain
of company. He made good record
but was taken ill when his regiment
was stationed at little town in the
mountains of East Tennessee and was
ordered home on furlough. AS it was
in the month of August, Mrs. Lancaster
thought that the climate of Charles
ton would not be SO good for him as that
of Tennessee, SO she telegraphed him to
wait and she would join him. She met
him with her only child, baby in
arms. and they started through the
mountains to retreat that had been
recommended to them as highly suit
able resting place. But on that journey
they met with the catastrophe which
blighted her whole life. The noun
tains in that section, like the noun
tains here, were infested with bandits
who lived upon plundering stragglers,
no matter of what politics. And it was
a gang of these reckless ruffians into
which they ran. They were in spring
wagon driven by negro, who had all
along shown himself to be an arrant
coward. The first notification of dam
ger was the sudden appearance from
the bushes of half dozen armed men,
who demanded that the party alight
that the vehicle might be searched.
SuPts AohSaStSAS WAV Aop-
pened to be holding the child in his
arms, thought that immediate obedi-
ence was best, so he got out, telling the
men that he had in his pockets all the
money and valuables the wagon con
tanned. He was still holding the child
on one arm and opening his pocket,
with another when the negro, seeing
that the robbers were not noticing The
wagon, whipped up the horses and
drove away at full speed. Mrs. Lancas

MINING NOTES.

An experimental run of ten tons OF
Jumper ore put through the Slip mill
yielded $3.50. The work Of extracting
ore will be continued and a cabin will
be built on the claim. so the men can
be neal the mine.
The big mortar for the Proctor &
Allen mill was frelghted to the hills
Sunday and put in place by the COM
blned efforts OF the men at the camp.
The mortar has three discharges and
the mill will soon be ready to reduce
ore.
The small mill. formerly at the Ora,
has been moved down the canyon by
l.. G. Lewis and Is ready for a run on
Butte ore. 1t will run steadily during
the season.
Dave Washeim and Jim Gregory
are casting about for a mill to be set
up at the head of White Horse can
yon TO reduce ore from the Emma L.,
upon which those parties have been al
work for a year.
The water supply is larger than that
Of last year at this time. and promises
well during the season. The snow
holds out beyond expectation on the
summit and there is sufficient to last
into the warm weather.
Brooks McClane has an exception
ally rich find and is kept busy extract
ing specimen ore and mortaring 1t.
The vein Is about fourteen inches wide
and he has a profitable season before
him. The ore is as rich as any ever
found in the camp and would sell for
specimens at more than the value Of
the gold contained.
EffrIcks and Kearney continue to
take ore from the Renegade and have
many tons on the dump ready for the
mill. They do not have much to say
about their work. but are doing we'll.
Poole and MacEchern are taking
out ore on the No. 2 when not busy al
the mill. and are happy over the pros
poets for the season In mining and
milling.
w. C. Williams continues to take
ore from the Cabin claim and will mill
not less than 500 tons this summer.
He has found ore of a good grade to take
all. and some OF II is lousy with the
precious yellow metal.
Peter Rosasco goes ahead daily
piling up ore from the Cabin No. 2,
and will mill several hundred tons this
season.
Prospector Woodruff is working on
some good prospects in Tiger canyon
Bob Somers has made two locations
so neal the summit that the boys call
them the Heavenly Twins.
The outlook in Olinghouse is very
bright. The miners are hard at work
and a few thousand tons Of ore await
reduction. There is no outside cap
ltal interested in a single claim and
the men are paying their way with. the
gold produced by their labor. The
camp forges ahead on pure merit. Old
time theories are being knocked into
smithereens. Mining promoters are
no longer sought. but are rather frowned
upon. Time bonds given by gassy ex-
perts are things Of the past. The
miner Is finding the metal he seeks and
is we'll satisfied. The entire district Is
on a paying basis. Ollnghouse at no
distant day will be a large and prosper
Gus community Of mining people.

ACTION OF THE COUNCIL
President Magoon Says He Will
Serve Without Pay But EN-
pIoyes May Demur.

The Council of State has refused
money to run the Court Of Claims. Yes
terday the bill appropriating funds for
the Court was shelved indefinitely
President Magoon of the Court says
that he will serve without pay, but the
other members Of the Court have not
expressed themselves on this subject
Magoon asserts that as the Court was
legally appointed, any debts 1t might
contract in the course Of it's business
would be a legal charge against the
Government. He says that his col
leagues share this belief. Whether the
employees OF the Court will coincide
with this theory may determine the
Courts ability to begin its work. AL
ready two interpreters, a stenographeI
and a bailiff have been appointed, but
their salaries have not been fixed
George A. Davis of the Court Is said
to have rendered his resignation, but
his brother members professed ignor-
ance Of his having taken such an step.
Magoon says he will not resign. Lor-
rim Andrews of the Court Is at Kahu-
ku, Attorney Kepoikai is on Maui, A
F. Judd Jr.. has gone to Molokai, and
only Magoon and Davis were in the
city yesterday when the Council OF
State took action.
