On Wing. Of Love.

A Romance Of real life as strange aud
full Of interest ~ any fiction can boast
has Just been happily ended by the mar
riage Of William n. Hightower. a hnni.
eF aud miner Of the White mountain
district Of New Mexico. aud Miss Anna
Robinson. one Of the falrest daughters
Of Lincoln county.

throughout the mountain country for
his skill as w0odSman. lie knew every
foot OF the country and frequently acted
as guide 10 parties who essayed to climb

the Hottest mountain in the southern
part OF the territory. He was known as
brave, determined aud the best shot in
the county, and also had the reputation
Of being honest and well intentioned.
Altogether, there was no more popular
or highly respected young man in the
whole mountain region than "Bnl'
llightower
But trouble came. He shot aud killed
i man who had jumped one OF his min
ing claims. In vain the defense at
tempted to shcw that Hightower's life
had been threatened. that he slew a fell
low being only In self defense. He was
found guilty and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary in Santa Fe for term Of lif-
teen years.
Hightower, accustomed to the free
dom of his wooded mountains. did not
take kindly to prison life. An irresisti-
bic desire to behold once more his fair
1etrothed took possession of him. He
determined to escape. One day while at
work with other prisoners in the peni-
t ntiary yard he took advantage of
temporary relaxation of the vigilance
of the guards to scale the fifteen foot
into the street and was running at top
speed for the mountains.
Bloodhounds were brought into reqni-
'ition, big force of deputies sent out,
but Bill Hightower understood well the
art of covering his tracks through the
forest glades on the mountain side, and
he made good his escape. In three days
he had traversed the 800 miles that lay
between him and his southern mountain
home. He was with his loyal sweet.
heart before the deputies had given up
searching for him among the hills Of
Santa Fe county.
But the fugitive felt III at ease. He
had counted himself justified In shooting,
man, but he felt guilty 10 escaping
from prison. Pursuit had long ceased
when one day the penitentiary authorl.
ties were amazed to see Bill Hightower
walk in and ask to be locked up. But
the penitentiary did not long hold him.
Powerful friends besieged the governor
for pardon. The story of his voluu-
tary return had Il good effect aud High
tower was made free. The truehearted
girl in the mountains of Lincoln county
never wavered in her faith or love, and
with glad Joy gave herself for life into
the keeping of the man who had been
pronounced BY law criminal. Rocky

TENDENCY or THE TIMES.

From the Baltimore sun Of yesterday.
The tendency in all The nations at

The great interest and to sacrifice ali Che
other interests to that. Back ii tile

triumph OF the Republicans in 1880, and
their complete triumph ia lS9G--owing

subordination Of all American Interests

uets and see the whole domestic and for
eign policy of the Government subordi-
mated to the purpose OF securing excu-
sive markets for our manufacturers. 1t
has followed here, as in England, that
the farming class has grown poorer and
poorer, while the manufacturers have
become mllionaires. The landed inter-
ests are nowhere in comparison with the
manufacturing and commercial interests.
A like phenomenon is seen in Germany,
where the landed interests, under the
name Of 'Agrarians, are fighting the
tendency Of the Government TO subordi-
nate all interests to manufacturing and
commerce. Colonies, canals and bigger
navy are wanted, at enormous cost, the
impoverished German farmers coming in
for higher taxes TO meet the bills. Much
the same is seen in France, Austria and
Russia. 1t is the tendency of the times
to sacrifice agriculture. Our new
shipping subsidy bill is the fine flower
and consummation of this policy Of sacri-
flee in the United States, the Nicaragua
Canal job and imperial expansion being
things OF the same sort. Agriculture
and manufactures should go hand in
hand.
