I . . g.. J g
The next morning dawned beautiful
and clear Harry had recovered con-
sciousness. but new lines had shaped
themselves upon his face, and he
shrank, as from an actual blow, IL his
wife approached him. From her hand
he refused medicine, food or drink.
The physician regarded him In anaazer4
ment.

his illness, Mrs. Reynolds" he said,

can help me. Meanwhile, can relieve

"Yes he Is quite out of danger, and

Hswthorne's affairs have risen which
seriously distressed both Harry and
his father. Further than that know
of no existing cause"
my question was not prompted by
curiosity" returned the doctor. But
its answer might aid my analysis of
the case. I thank YOU for your conf
dence. Mrs. Reynolds; and, believe me,
though remembered by the physician.
1t already has been forgotten by the
man."
He bowed and withdrew, and Helen
returned to the bed.
Harry raised his heavy lids at sound
of her footsteps, then let them fall.
shudderingly. as he recognized her.
Shall I send Grace to you?" she
whispered. Mf,
YES" broke in faint whisper from
his lips; but he did not again unclose
his eyes until. some five minutes later,
soft. cool hand was laid upon his

Breach of Promise Cases.

Should breach of promise cases be
encouraged? On the one hand there
is sometimes cruel heartlessness dis
played by men, in which cases a YER
dict of humping money payments is
the greatest punishment to the i'll
doer; on the other hand, It is not me-
cessarily the most innocent or the most
deserving who choose to go into court.
The woman who trusts her fair fame
to the tender mercies of her lover
knows pretty well the consequences of
her act. while the really unhappy and
ill-used woman who has suffered most.
and whose life Is completely shattered,
shrinks from dragging her woes into
the lurid glare of the law courts. Pc
cunlary payments can, after all, only
soothe outraged feelings, very often
the least desirable feelings, those Of
rage and anger. The tender, confiding
female loves on In spite Of everything
and is probably the last to bear Wit
ness against the man who has ruined
her prospects. No doubt, ample dam
ages help future marriage, for, such
Is the strange irony Of fate, an ac-
quilted murderess, or fair woman In
a breach OF promise case, promptly
fnd numerous applicants anxious to
claim her hand.-London Graphic.

About sS per cent of the West Indies
cyclones occur in August, September
and October. Fortunately most of
them are not very destructive in char
acter. The records in the island Of St.
Thomas, for example, show that in the
century and half preceding 1897 that
island suffered from devastating cy-
clones only seven times though it Is
the northern and eastern islands, such
as st. Thomas. Porto Rico. Cuba and
the Bahamas. that are most frequently
in the pathway OF the severest cy-
clones.

London, July 19.-The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Express says:
A Chinese merchant who has Just ar
rived from Picking gives horrible de-
tails of the massacre. He says he saw
European women hauled into the street
by shrieking Boxers, who stripped
them and hacked them to pieces. Their
severed limbs were tossed to the crowd
and carried off with bowls of triumph.
Some we're already dead, having been
shot by foreign civilians.
He says he saw Chinese soldiers car
rying the bodies of white children aloft
their spears, while their companions
shot at the bodies. He gives other de-
tails too horrible to be par~ticularized
here.
1t seems that the Boxer leaders had
organized a plan, including the offer
ing of rewards and rich loot for the
humiliation of Europeans throughout
China, and that Prince Tuan's generals
have been emphasizing the opportunity
the soldiers have of Selling the bodies
of white women.

DU BOTS BEATEN,
Idaho Fusionists Are Having a Hot
Time.

Pocatello, Idaho, July 19.-The three
silver conventions spent all day wait
ing for their committees. The confer
ence committees came to a deadlock
on the question of the nomination of a
United States senator, and finally re-
ferred the matter to their respective
conventions, the silver republicans de-
claring there should be no apportion-
ment of offices until it was decided
thai a senator should be nominated
and that the office should be apportion-
ed in the division of offices. The pop
ulists and silver republicans at once
passed resolutions favoring the nomi-
nation of a senator. The matter came
into the democratic convention at s
o'clock this evening, was debated at
length and defeated by a vote of 125 to
121.
The Du Bots leaders congregated at
the e~X-senator's rooms and plans to de-
feat the result are being drawn. The
fight will be opened again in the morn
ing and an effort made to undo the
work of tonight. The silver republic
cans will ass iredly stand pat on the
senatorship and be supported by the
populists.

TELEPHONE FOR RAWLINs.

A. j.. Vance of Salt Lake has been ap-
pointed general manager of the bust
ness Of the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone company in the State Of Wyo-
ming, says the Rawlins Republican.
Mr.. Vance has just finished the work Of
installing an exchange in the town Of
Rock Springs. Sixty-two subscribers
were secured in Rock Springs. Raw
Inns and Evanston are the next places
to receive attention. Mr.. Vance is in
Rawlins for the purpose of taking up
the matter with the business men of
the town. He hopes to secure between
forty and fifty subscribers.
The connection between Rawlins and
Denver is nearly finished. Only a few
miles of wire between Saratoga and
Grand Encampment remain to be
strung. This will be done in a few
days now, when the line will be CON-
plete. The connection will probably
not be made between Rawlins and Rock
Springs much before September LIST.

States has about $4,000, 900. One 6 per

we're left some assets in the form Of

A GREAT FOREST FIRE.

Placerville, Cal, July ia great
forest fire is raging on the lands Of the
American River Land and Lumber COM
pany, twelve miles northwest Of this
city. The big chute built by the COM
pany in 1894 at the terminus Of its rail-
road to run logs into the south fork of
the American river is reported destroy
ed. The chute was $500 feet in length
and was built of large logs. Over g.
O0O, 900 feet of lumber is said to have
been contained in the logs that were
used in its construction. The cost Of
the chute was about sec, 900. Should
the fire continue u%nsubdued it will en-
tail a loss running into the millions.
In addition to many houses and twelve
miles Of railroad. over II, 200, 900 feet
of logs are lying cut and barked in the
woods awaiting a drive.

ANDREE BALLOON.
Indians Find Peculiar Wreckage Along
the Shore Of Hudson's Bay.

Chicago, July ia special from
Fort William, Ont, to the Times-Her-
aid, says:
Indians hunting on the east coast Of
Hudson bay, have brought word to the
Hudson Bay company's post on the
west coast of James bay that they
found last spring a vast quantity of
wreckage, the bodies Of two men, and
a man in the last stages Of the death
struggle. The Indians reported that
they could not understand the language
he spoke, but that it was 10 English.
He died while they were there and
they returned to the trading post with
out bringing any evidence Of the
strange occurrence.
1t is believed by the officials Of the
Hudson Bay company that the Indians
witnessed the ending Of Andree's at
tempt to reach the north pole by bal
loon. They had never seen a balloon,
but from their description of the 9TH
er wreckage the officials are firmly con-
WINGED that it was the remnants of An
dree's airship. A party guided by the
same Indians has been sent out to
bring evidence to establish the identi-
ty Of the party.
Early last fall people near Moose
Factory asserted they saw a large bal
loon passing over to the northward,
and this tends to confirm the story of
the Indian hunters.
