to kick any man who addressed her

tunity and whisked her fond father
into a corner of his library, and there
gave him to understand that in eastern
circles the housekeeper might some
times, perhaps, accompany the young
ladies when they were going shopping,
or the like, alone, but that when
escorted by papa it was quite unneces-
sary. 1t was, in fact, not at all con-
ventional. s..

Away up toward Laramie peak could
see something through the glasses that

It was then long after three o'clock.
At five they were to start, and Jessie

.sail from Trayne, SO said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news of Mar
shall. They had slipped away to their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return, in order, as
Pappoose expressed it, that the gen.
tlemen might have their cigars in
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared, had direct
ed the servant to say to Mr.. Folsom,
on the return of the party, that she
would prefer not to appear, and would
be glad to keep her room, as she did
not feel it at all necessary for the
housekeeper to meet strangers, and
Folsom felt sense of relief. 1t was
so much sweeter not to have any pre-
siding genius other than Pappoose,
not that he was forgetful of Mrs.
Fletcher's merits and which
were great-but it was plain to see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such Office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol-
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door-her room was in the third story,
overlooking the street-and was very
civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need of nothing, but, being
wearied, she would like little sleep.
No, she did not even care for cup of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied to her inquiries
came neither from the bed nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
At three the cigars were smoked out
and the host and his guests were in

deep-set eyes under bushy brows, and
a keen face, rather deeply lined. There
was look of dissipation there, shade
ofshabbinessa about his clothes,a rakish
cut to the entire personality that
caused Folsom to glance distrustfully
at him more than once the previous
afternoon, and to meet with GOODNESS
the tentatives permissible in fellow
travellers. The strangers morning
had been lonesome Now he held his
newspaper where it would partly
shield his face, yet permit his watching
the officers across the aisle. And some
thing in his stealthy scrutiny attracted
Pappoose.
"Yes," continued the major, II have
seen a great deal Of that country, and
Mr.. Dean, of whom you spoke, was at
tached to the troop escorting our COM
mission. He is hardly regret to have
to say it-er-what you imagine. We
were, to put it mildly, much disap-
pointed in his conduct the day of our
meeting with the Sioux" s." II.
A swift, surprised glance passed be-
tween the girls, a panied look shot
into the lieutenant's face, but before
the major could go on the man across
the aisle arose and bent over him with
extended hand
"Ah, Burleigh, I thought knew the
voice." But the hand was not grasped.
The major was drawing back, his face
growing yellow-white with some
strange dismay.
"You don't seem sure of my identity.
Let me refresh your memory, Bur-
leigh. am Capt. Newhall. see you

the library. 1t was Folsom's custom,
when possible thing, to take brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad of the op-
portOnity now, if Burleigh would only
60, but Burleigh wouldn't. In monot-
onous monologue his voice came float
ing up to the second floor, drowsy,
unbroken in its soporific flow, and the
girls themselves, after the mornings
drive in the clear, bracing air, felt as
though forty winks would be a Dless-
ing. Could it be that Burleigh lin
gerod on in hopes Of their reappear-
ance below? Might it not be that if
relief came not speedily Papa Fol-
som would yield to the spell and fall
asleep in his easy-chair? Was it not
Miss Folsom's duty to descend and
take the burden of entertainment off
those elder shoulders? These thoughts
oppressed the girl, and, starting up,
she cried:
ITS simply wicked! of me staying
here and letting poor papa be bored
to death Do come down, Jess, dear,
unless you're too dreadfully sleepy.
He acts just as though he intended
never to go."
And jess promised reluctantly to
come down in ten minutes, if he didn't
leave; but she hated him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke so of
Marshall in the car three days before
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up to inquire
how Mrs. Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door to her little room
was tightly closed. The blinds in all
the other rooms aloft were drawn
against the glare of the sunshine in
the cloudless atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappoose stepped suddenly out upon
the landing, she was surprised to see
that the upper floor was much lighter
than when she went up half an hour
earlier. The maid had! not gone thith-
er from the kitchen, and Mrs Fetch
er wished to doze. Who, then, could
have opened both blind and door and
let in that flood of light? Impulsive-
ly the active girl few up the winding
stairs to the third story, and! some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an instant later, as Miss
Folsom reached the top, an became
dark again. Mrs. Fletcher's door had
unquestionably been open, and was
now shut to. She must have been out
there listening, and gravely the young
girl asked herself what it meant
Mrs. Fletcher's agitation in the IL
brary that morning as she peered out
at the majors wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as she
pleaded. of not desiring to appear
when company was present; and now,
despite her desire to sleep, her vigil
at the third-foor landing, where she
was surely listening to the sounds
from below.
Pondering over the facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly retraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the Ii
brary none too soon. Old Johns eyes
were closed and he was slowly top
ping, overcome with sleep. The sound
of her CHEEKY voice aroused him. and
he started. guilty and crestfallen.
Burleigh's heavy face frightened
visibly at her coming. He cared no
more for music than does q cat, but
eagerly followed her across the broad
hall into the parlor when she suggest
ed showing him the beautiful piano
papa had given her; and old John,
blessing her, lurched for the. sofa,
buried his hot head in pillow, and
was asleep in ten seconds. Maj. Bur-

CHAPTER TX.

For nearly week after the home
coming of his beloved daughter John
Folsom was too happy in her presence
to give much thought to other matters
BY the end of that week, however, the
honest old westerner found anxieties
thickening about him. There were 4S
hours of undimmed rejoicing. Elinor
was so radiant, so fond, and had grown,
so said the proud father to himself, and
so said others, so wondrously lovely.
His eyes followed her every movement.
He found himself negligent of her gen.
tie little friend and guest, Jessie Dean,
to whom he had vowed to be a second
father, and such friend as she had
been to his Pappoose when, a homesick,
sad-eyed child, she entered upon her
schooldays. Elinor herself had to
chide him, and with contrition and dis
may he admitted his fault, and then
for hours nothing could exceed his hos
pitable attentions to Jessie, who, sore
ly disappointed because Marshall was
not there to meet her, was growing
anxious as no tidings came from him.
Two whole days the damsels spent in
going over the new house, exclaiming
over papa's lavish preparations, but
wishing presently that Mrs. Fletcher
we're not quite SO much in evidence,
here, there, and everywhere. Only
when bedtime came and they could
nestle in one or other of their connect
ing rooms were they secure from in ter
ruption, and even then it presently ap-
peared they could not talk confden-
tally as of old. Folsom had taken
them driving each afternoon, he him
self handling the reins over his hand
some bays, Elinor at his side the first
time, and Jessie, with Mrs. Fletcher,
occupying the rear seat. But this,
Einor whispered to him, was not as it
should be. Her guest should have the
seat of honor. So, next day, Jessie was
handed to the front and Mrs. Fletcher
and Pappoose were placed in rear,
and in this order they bowled round
the fort and listened to the band and
talked with several of the women and
one or two officers, but these latter
could tell nothing about Lieut.. Dean
except that they had been expecting
him for two days-he having taken the
long way home, which both Jessie and
Pappoose considered odd under the
circumstances, though neither said so
and nobody thought to explain. But
the morning ofthe third day Miss Fol.
som"-as the veteran was amazed to
hear his daughter addressed, yet on re-
f1ection concluded that he'd be tempted

POLITICAL NOTES.

The political party that promotes
strikes doesn't produce prosperity.
You voted for Prosperity and got it.
Are You now going to vote against it2
There is no Mrs. David b Hill to
claim that the recent fight with Boss
Croker was fake affair.
Mr.. Altgeld as the Attorney General
of Bryan administration would be
every bit as appropriate as Bryan
administration.
Prosperity continues to be the para
mount issue of the Republicans, and
it is a sound and substantial issue that
exists everywhere.
When Mr.. Bryan or any fusion ora
tor begins deseanting upon trusts, ask
him what antitrust law a Democratic
Congress ever enacted
Mr. Bryan lodges questions con
corning political liberty in North Caro-
lima with the same dexterity that he
eyades his predictions of 1895.
The New York journal is the most
distinguished and vigorous of the
Bryan organs. 1t utilizes fine largest
sized type in gloating over the strike
of the coal miners.
The people most affected by the
strike of the coal miners are poor
The victims of this Democratic enter
prise will be the misguided miners
and the small consumers.
Tx Secretary Olney was the mn
who advised President Cleveland t,
use Federal troops against the striker!
in Chicago during the term of the las
Democratic administration.
Candidate Bryan says we canno
secure title To II people by force or by
purchase. According to that theory
we must have acquired Texas and
Louisiana on n Christmas tree.
When former gold Democrat con.
cludes to support Bryan the first thing
he does il to prepare a written apology
for so doing. He feels that much is
due to his conscience, if not to the
! public.
Labor il busy, is better paid and has
10 work shorter hours than in any other
country on earth. Under the Republi.
can administration of the government,
he is today better fed, better housed,
better clothed, better educated, than
anywhere else on Gods green earth
and he will be slow to vote for change

BANNER RAISING.


The Republicans raised a fine ban
ner at the corner of Bridge and Union
streets last Friday evening There
were several hundred people present,
and the enthusiasm was marked.
Judge Jones delivered a short al
dress, and some good music was fur
nished by Liberty Band.
AT o'clock a crowd that could not
get into the room, assembled at Hol-
combe Hall, 10 hear the speakers that
had been announced for the evening.
Besides the two speakers, those who
occupied the stage were Judge II. b.
Herr, the Republican Congressional
candidate from this district; Capt.
Richard b. Reading, chairman of the
city Republican executive committee
County Prosecutor Walter +. Hay
hurst, ex-Mayor William +. Wagg,
Frank Barley, James Petrie, Charles
A. Skillman, Charles Dobilinski,
Robert A, Montgomery, George w.
Arnett, Warren A. Greene and Geryas
Ely.
Warren A. Greene was made chair
man of the meeting. Mr.. Greene very
felicitously introduced the speakers
Judge John Jones, of Indiana, and
Hon. Lee Fairchild, of California,
both of whom made excellent adj
dresses. Judge Jones' address was
particularly strong in telling points
''from business standpoint" and
produced marked effect. Mr.. Fair
child's address was in the line of his
well known witty and comieal sayings
with very sharp and unmistakable
point in them, and highly pleased his
audience.
At the close of the addresses, Judge
II. b. Herr, of Pennington, Republi
can candidate for Congress-, was in
troduced aud made short but efl'ec
tive speech.
The meeting was both large an,
enthusiastic, and demonstrated tina
the Republicans of this section ar
not asleep.

The Philadelphia Times has come
out for Bryan. So have several other
Democratic papers, while great
many Democratic papers have not
come out for him, The Times has
always been Democratic paper, and
so there is nothing of "hop-over'
about its action. The only strange
thing about it is that, being Demo
cratic sheet, and down on tariffs,
trusts and imperialism, as it claims, il
didn't support the ticket from the
first, instead of hanging on the fence
from June until October.

BRYAN Al HIS WORST

From the New York StH September ~
It's nottpleasant to find candidate
for President of the United States talk
ing as foolishly or dishonesty as Mr.
Bryan talked at Monet, Mo:
1.-The Republicans are now boastlng
that we have reached point where we
can lonn money to. people in other
countries. want To ask you whether
you regard that aa nm evidence of pros
perlty. Why would any man send his
money To Europe for Investment if he
could find n place in this country to
invest IT? Money sent abroad for in
vestment must be sent for one of two
reasons, either because the man who
sends the money over there thinks
more of the people over there than he
does of the people here, and does il for
love and devotion, or because II is n
matter of business, that is, because he
can invest II to better advantage in Il
European country ihan he can in this
country.
Mr.. Bryan either knows or does not
know that the country has accumulat
ed SO much money under that financial
system which he il trying to break
down that it has money TO lend at n
low rate Of interest to the rest of the
world. He either knows or does not
know that low rate of interest il good
for the country in general, especially
for that "dehtor class" for which he
shows SO much concern. He either
knows OF does not know that Il country
which il able to lend must be prosper
Gus. He either knows or does not
know that the big slice of the German
loan taken by life insurance com
pany represents in large measure the
savings of many men IN moderate cir
cumstances.
If he does not know these things, he
is too big n fool To be President, II he
does, and yet talks as he talked at
Monet, he is too dishonest to be Presi-
dent
