Change Their Tune.

While the republican leaders have
with few exceptions denied that an
increase in the volume of money
would be of benefit to the people, they
take more or less pride, we notice, in
calling attention to the fact that since
that party was restored to power
there has been an increase in the
amount of the medium of exchange.
They do not mention the fact, how.
ever, that the increase is only tempo
rary and under the exportable money
system contraction is liable to set in
at any time.-Missouri World.
Modern reform movements are but
dams constructed across the stream

CHAPTER XI.-CoNT1NuEp.

Not morsel of food had passed my lips
Tor more than four-andtwenty hours. 1
was tired, not from the miles of walking or
manifold eXertion, but from lack of nutri-
ment, and, more than all, from the moral
effect of knowing l was being hunted like
wild animal. My clothing had well-nigh
dried on my body, but was still damp. l
had not even the comfort of tobacco, for,
though l possessed it in plenty, l could get
no fire, my tinder box having been wetted
i'll the soaking had endured l had fed
from the sight of man as Satan flies before
the sign OF the cross, but by the time l had
gotten on my journey thus far l cared little
for Nick Stryker, Rex, the British army, or
the devil himself. My sole yearning was for
food, and the san had not sunken fairly be-
hind the Jersey hills when, against all rea-
son, rose from my last hiding place near the
roadside and strobe into it, making my way
toward the tavern as fast as | could walk.
My arms were like lead. The gold in my
pockets and the bullets in my pouch had
fifty times their weight as l splashed through
the mud, but | was protected by divine
providence, for no soul saw L going or COM
ing while l was on the great thoroughfare.
When l turned into the lane leading to the
tavern some of my reason returned to me,
and slipped ovrr the feuce-that / might
not approach too directly the front door.
There were no horses under the shed as [
passed it, a fact that gave me assurance, and
on peering through the bar window, l
marked that the room was unoccupied.
The bar of the Dove was, like many of
the taverns of the day, as much a refectory
as bar, and the general assembly room of
the house. AS have said, it was deserted,
and barren of light as well, the far corners
being so immersed in gloom that l could
barely make out the tables under the cur
tanned windows. My advent within brought
an answering sound of steps, and there en-
tered a black man, half waiter and half
hostler, as 1 made out by his apron, the
table knives in his hand, and general smell
of the stable he brought with him.
Without ado | asked for food-food of any
sort, hot or cold, with bottle of wine, or,
failing in that, stimulant of any description.
/ thought the fellow was frightened at my
tierceness, and showed him l meant to pay
for all l demanded by pulling from my pock-
ct few pieces of gold and exposing them.
He slipped behind the bar and brought out
u bottle of rum, setting it on table in the
darkest corner of the room, and then hur
riedly went out, saying / should be served
without delay.
Left to myself, took a stiff dram and
looked about me. The room was decidedly
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1900-04-11

barren in appearance, the only attempt at
ornamentation being in the boughs of
green stuff that had been piled into the vast
fireplace The rafters overhead, somber
with age, were black in the increasing dark
ness, and the walls, unwhitened for months
and perhaps years, were deeply scored with
names and coarse notices craven by sword
points or bayonets, and smutted by
candles held against the rough plaster. The
bar took up a space near the entrance, the
floor was clean and sanded, and the only
furniture in the room consisted of an i'm
mense settle in TIE corner by the chimney,
one long table with bench betwixt it and
the wall, and four or five smaller tables with
accompanying chairs. In strong contrast
with the prevailing dinginess of the apart
ment were the two windows in the rear OF
the room, their curtains of plain stuff as
white and stiff as crusted snow, and the
panes as sparkling and brilliant as newly
minted coin.
With an eye to future action in case of
mischance, went to the windows and found
them unfastened The view looked east and
showed an infield with stream on one side,
which l knew must drain the, ponds and
swamps of the lower Harlem fats in the Vi
cinity of McGowan's Pass, and empty itself
culverted, still runs under the city in the
into the Sound river. This stream, now

Ito mel racket that might have been made

by falling house.
Both the Quaker and Lowney gave a
start as the sharp sound echoed through the
room, the former dropping the spoon he was
carrying to his mouth, while the latter
sprang to his feet and looked toward the
darkenedf corner in which had been hid
ing. The two candles in the large apartment
gave but scant light, but, scant as it was, it
proved enough for the sharp eyes of the
gambler, who evidently caught sight of a
face, for with an oath he cried: What have
we here-a drunkard or deserter?" and ad-
vanced toward the table.
And now it appeared that l would be sud-
denly forced to do the very thing that but
a moment before had been buzzing in my
brain as only dream. Concealment being
no longer possible, would face matters as
they fell out, and trusted to put all into
execution before help in the shape of the
negro or others without might arrive. Ere
Lowney had covered half the space betwixt
us, stopped for my sword, and, jumping to
the bench and from that to the table, drew
the blade.
As the advancing man beheld my figure
loom suddenly on high, for the beams of the
ceiling barely cleared my head, he stopped
short and stepped pace or two backward,
drawing his sword the while, then with a
voice which might have been heard fur
long, he shouted:
"By the great Jehovah! tbs Donald
Thorndyke, or his spook from hell! Are We
run to ground at last? If We be no ghost,
surrender in the name of the king!-Ho, old
man. here is the devil himself; get to my
holsters and fetch the earms!-Hither, We
black rascal! help me hold him here! Help
here, l say! Damn the closed door!-Boy
boy! Oh, what a pass is this!"
Waiting for no action on the part of the
old Quaker, and hoping to forestall the ne
gro, l leaped to the floor, and in an instant
| the swords of Lowney and myself were
crossed in combat.
The onset was so sudden that it drove the
| man backward against his table, which, with
| the candle and earthenware, was upset
| though the crash did not mar the fellow
| guard. Taking advantage of the opening
| thus made, l sprang between him and the
! door, and then the battle began in grim earn
| est.
| The light was far too uncertain to permit
my putting into practice my well-worr
stroke, and Lowney was much too wary and
too skillful in fencing to allow me to at once
come at him by any other method. l wa.
fairly sure of tiring him and in the end beat
ing down his guard, but at present l hat
enough to do in looking for his tricks ant
avoiding his furious lunges. In the hal
| light of the room the fire flew bright from
the steel in the energy of the parry, and m.
opponent hurried his fatigue by wastin,
| breath in q constant string of oaths.

in his voice that struck me as familiar, while
his reference to having met me made me
more than curious. Carefully lifting my eye
