These kind ladies quickly gathered around
the orphan girl, took heEto their quarters,
washed her face. combed her hair and
gave her dry clothing and refreshments,
after which the men were called out in
line, and before them all she told her pitt
full story. Recovering herself, she ex
claimed: ''Can l stand all this; who will
help me avenge this foul, wrong?" and the
shout that went UP was 81" Il I'd ~ and

ant had told her he would be a friend to

the men got ready, and soon the Lieuten-
ant was waiting for his guide. Soon she
appeared, dressed in a soldiers uniform.
and said she was ready and anxious to
get at them. They started and had gone
nearly to her home, when she told the
Lieutenant she wanted to turn off the
track long enough to visit her home and
bury her mothers bones. They all went
with her, and on reaching her once-happy
home they found, all too true, the house
and outbuildings were burned, and they
found the remains of her mother which
they carefully collected and inferred, and
after her violent parOxysm of grief had
somewhat subsided they all started for the
"whackers' cave. Capt. Mann wanted
this girl, and he and some of his ilk had
secreted themselves nearby, expecting her
return. He was not disappointed to see
her, but surprised at her body guard; so
they fired one volley and fed: This was
the girls chance. She shouted, "There
is the old demon himself; come, will get
him now."

Early in the morning, usually soon after
daybreak, at Shoshone Lake a strange
sound is heard in the air. 1t begins softly
in the remote distance, resembling the
singing of telegraph wires, some have said,
or the peculiar whir Of trolley car. IL
grows louder and louder as it approaches
the hearer, then decreases after it has
passed him and dies away in the opposite
direction. The sound has been compared
to various things by different people who
have heard it. Prof. Forbes, for example,
says that it reminded him of an Eolian
harp. Edward Linton compared it to the
humming of a swarm Of bees; others have
likened it to the sound of the music Of
distant bells, and the Imagination of many
observers has found various forms OF COM
parison, but the phenomenon itself has
never had a satisfactory solution. Its
weird character comports with its pictur-
esque surroundings, and even the most
practical and hard-headed man visitor
must feel a sense Of awe In the presence
of this remarkable song in the air. The
easiest explanation Is to attribute it to the
electric currents In the atmosphere.

A STORY OF INGALLS,.
"Reminiscences With Which he Replied to .
Raktng Editorial.

Topeka Telegram to the st. Louis Republic
Senator Ingalls,, until he was compelled
to go to New Mexico for relief, was ready
for fight at all times. Not long since q
Republican editor attacked ingalls, sav.
agely. The ex-senator submitted to an in
terview, and said:
by some subtle association of ideas
this reminds me Of the Senatorial election
Of 1879, perhaps the most sensational epi-
sode in Kansas history. 1t was the morn
ing Of the last day. l was alone in my
but q kennel, which was the boast and
pride of Topeka 20 years ago. The soft
coal fires smoked and smOldered in the
rusty stoves. The carpets were covered
with dry mud from the streets. l had
been up all night. The weather was lit
terly black, bleak and cold.
"My friends and supporters had all gone
to the State House for the final fray,
whose issue was uncertain, and | was sit
thage. 1t was within 10 minutes Of the
hour of meeting of the joint convention,
when one of the members of the LegiSla-
ture came into my room.
He had been my friend during the can
vass, had attended all my caucuses and
voted for me at the previous sessions. He
was one of my original supporters, with
OuI IuOuey uuu WltuOul price, ne Seelleu
uneasy and frustrated. l asked him why
he was not at the Capitol, where one vote
might decide my fate. He closed the door
and said, with much stumbling and blum
dering speech, that ne had recently bought
some type and press and was short S7OO.
The draft, he said, was in the bank, and
he had to have the money before he went
to the State House.
81 suggested that the bank did not close
until 3 o'clock. but he replied that the
managers Of Albert III. Horton had prom,
sed to let him have the cash at 10 o'clock
and he wanted to be able to tell them
that he did not need it. He added that he
should regret to be placed under such obli-
cations by my enemies.
Queer situation, wasn't it? Odd that
he should have selected just that particu-
lar moment for his intimation. But it was
an emergency. There was no time for de-
liberation. l had to think quick. The roll
call would begin in 10 minutes at the
farthest. The margin was desperately
and the result to me of incaIcula-
BILE, immeasurable consequence. You re-
member Stockton's story of the lady and
the tiger? Do you suppose the editor got
his 500 loan from me or from the other
fellows?
Horton? Do you suppose that he had real
" bought new type and a press? What
would you have done if you had been in
my place? What could have made me
.hink of the drOll incident in connection
with the rasping edtorial?"
The editor was a member of the Legis- |
ure at the time to which Mr.. Ingalls, re-
erred, and it was not difficult to solve the |
puzzle.

St. Louis Breaks the Record.

st. Louis has the largest drug house,
the largest wooden ware store and the
greatest hardware house in the world,
says Charles M. Harvey In The Allan
tic. All of these have agencies in ev-
cry country in Europe and in most of
those Of South America. 1t Is the Sec
ond largest shoe distributing point in
the world In 1t is sold more hardwood
lumber than in any other city any
where. More street cars are manufac-
tured in st. Louis than at any other
point in the world. 1t leads the world
in the sale of horses and mules Hun
dreds OF borses and mules recently
bought in st. Louis by agents of the
British government were shipped to
South Africa for service In the army.
In the manufacture of tobacco st.
Louis has long led all the rest of the
world. From the Missouri district,
chiefly in its principal city, the gov
eminent draws far more revenue from
tobacco manufacture than 1t does from
any other quarter in the country. The
percentage of population. enrolled in
the public schools was 20.53 for the en-
tire United States, according to the
latest figures which have been made
public, while it was 22.17 for Missouri
Few states surpass it in this respect

He then took a corner Of the

HOW THEY CALL SHOTS.

Uninitiated spectators of the shoot
ing by the American revolver team at
Greenville, N. j., in their recent cable
match with the Frenchmen were prob

perts in frequently calling out hours Of
the day utterly regardless of what cor
rect time was.

That these men were not making
dates for dinner was shown by a con-
versation that took place few min
utes later. One of the contestants aft
er just missing bulls eye turned to a
friend and asked:
"How's thatg'
zone o'clock. Try 1t at O'clock"
the friend said.
All right; viii" But he knew
very well that the rules of the match
called for continuous shooting and kept
right on.
So 1t was every day during the shoot.
Every one connected with the match
would occasionally mention some hour
ANY hour but the right one apparent
ly-and no one seemed to think 1t
strange.
When asked for an explanation Of
this after the match Sergeant Petty,
the crack shot of the police force, burst
out laughing.

way round If man shoots too low
