CHAPTER VIII.

Obedient to his orders the Irish
sergeant, with a little squad at his
heels, had kept straight on. A few
minutes later, rounding the bluff at
the gallop, eyes flashing over the field
in front of them, the party went rae
ing out over the turf and came in
full view of the scene Of the fight.
Five hundred yards further down
stream was a deep bend in the Lar
annie. Close to the waters edge two
horses lay stretched upon the ground,
stone dead. Out on the open prairie
lay an Indian pony still kicking in his
dying agony, and as the soldiers came
sweeping into view two men rose up
from behind the low bank Of the
stream and swung their hats-Hal
Folsom and one Of his hands safe,
unwounded, yet with look in their
gray faces that told of recent mortal
peril. 4

Paul Kruger's Last Trek.

Whatever view one may take Of the
merits and outcome of the war in
South Africa, now in it's closing stages.
one can scarcely contemplate with 9TH
er than a deep sense Of pity the depar-
ture Of the broken hearted old man
from the now fallen little republic with
which his name las been so intimately
associated during the greater part of
Its struggle for existence. The last
trek Of Paul Kruger from the land he
loved so we'll and by whose people he
was so well loved to seek asylum in
neutral territory has pathetic and pic
turesque aspects which will appeal to
the historian, the painter and the poet
Of the future, as we'll as affect the SEN
slbilities of the sympathetic observer
of passing events.
When the Beers in 1887 trekked
across the Orange and Vaal rivers and
over the Drakenberg mountains into
Natal, the boy, Paul Kruger, was with
them. When the little colony had tri-
umphed in a war with the natives and
the British came to claim the results of
that triumph, Paul Kruger was with
the sturdy men who trekked from Ma
tai into the Transvaal. When the
British came again to claim the Beers
as citizens, Paul Kruger, now grown
to manhood, was a leader among his
people, who after the battle of Majuba
Hill compelled their enemies to retire
from the land they had made their
own. When the burghers met to reor-
ganize the South African Republic.
Paul Kruger was chosen president and
for 20 years has been president and
leader. His whole life has been de-
voted to the republic from which be is
now in his old age compelled to fly
while he sadly hears the ringing of its
deathkneu as a sovereign state. Per-
haps he was out of place as a leader
and ruler of people in this pushing, Wig
orous, progressive age; possibly he
stood in the way of what the world re-
CARDS as civilization and progressive
development Be this as it may, his
departure is none the less pathetic
There can hardly be in Christendom a
heart that does not go out in sympathy
to the old patriot who has made the
best fight he could for his own land
and people and has lost.

Consul General Guenther, who repre-
sents the United States at Frankfort,
sends to the state department at Wash
ington the following item concerning
the trial Of alcohol plow locomobiles in
Germany: ION July 25 the motor fac
tory Of Oberursel, near Frankfort, ex-
hibited in the presence of a number Of
experts it's new alcohol plow locomo-
biles. The plow locomobile is a 20
horsepower one, and confidence is ex-
pressed by competent judges that coal
can in some cases be substituted by al
cohol, which can be procured every
where and at 4 low cost. The alcohol
plow is said to have performed it's
work fully as we'll as steam plow op-
Grated simultaneously. The problem Of
using alcohol for power purposes has
been solved by the motor factory in
evaporating denaturalized alcohol of 80
degrees. The construction and opera
ton Of the motor are after this gasifica-
tion the same as those of gas motor.
The machine uses about a pint Of alco-
hol an hour for one horsepower. It is
claimed that the operating expense is
25 per cent lower than that Of steam

rising from her easy-chair. "Just let
me show you one she sent Hal last

mental addition as she tripped within
doors.
The nurse girl, a half-breed, one of
the numerous progeny of the French
trappers and explorers who had mar
ried among the Sioux, was hushing
the burly little son and heir to sleep
in his Indian cradle, grooming some
song about the fireflies and Heecha,

heavily wooded heights seemed tipped
by heecy, summer clouds, and off to
the northeast Laramie Peak thrust
his dense crop of pine and scrub oak
above the mass of snowy vapor that
hoated lazily across that -visaged
southward scarp. The drowsy hum Of
insects, the plash Of cool, running wa

Out on the level fat beyond the cor
raj the troopers had unsaddled, and
the chargers, many of them stopping
to roll in equine ecstasy upon the turf,
were being driven out in one big herd
to Craze. Without and within the
ranch everything seemed to speak of
peace and security. The master rode
the range long miles away in search
OF straying cattle, leaving his loved
ones without thought Of danger. The
solemn treaty that bound the Sioux
to keep to the north of the Platte
stood sole sentinel over his vine and
fig tree. True there had been one or
two instances of depreciation, but
they could be fastened on no particu-
lar band. and all the chiefs, even def
ant Red Cloud and insolent, swag-
gering Little Big Man, denied all
knowledge of the perpetrators. Spot
ted Tail, it was known, would severe
ly punish any of his people who trans
gressed, but he could do nothing with
the Ogallallas Now they were not
200 miles away to the north, their
ranks swollen by accessions from all
the disaffected villages and turbulent
young braves of the swarming bands
along the Missouri and Yellowstone,
and If their demands were resisted bv
the government, or worse, if they
were. permitted to have breech- leaders
or magazine rifles, then just coming
into use, no shadow of doubt remained
that war to the knife would follow.
Then how long would it be before they
came charging down across the Platte,
east or west of Frayne, and raiGing
those new ranches in the Laramie
valley?
Measuring as he meant his words
to be, Marshall Dean himself looked
anxlously about at the unprotected
walls. Not even the customary "dug-
OUT or underground refuge seemed to
have been prepared. Almost every
homestead, big or little, of those days,
had it's tunnel from the cellar to
dugout near at hand, stocked with
provisions and water and provided
with loopholes commanding the neigh
borhood, and herein the besieged
could take refuge and stand off the
4pdlans until help should come from
The nearest fort. "The name Of Fol
som is our safeguard" said Mrs, Hal
in her happy honeymoon days, but
that was before the mother told her
OF the threats of Burning Star or the
story of the Ogallalla girl he vainly
loved. "All that happened so long ago."
she murmured, when at last the tale
was told. But Hal should have known.
it she did not, that even when it
seems to sleep Indian vengeance is
but gaining force and fury.
Presently Mrs, Hal came tripping
forth again, little carte de visite in
her hand, smile Of no little signifi-
canoe on her lips. "Now, Mr.. Dean.
will you tell me what you think of that
for pappoose?'' "
And with wonderment in his ewes
the young officer stod and held it and
gazed. '. *
There stood Pappoose, to be sure,
but what a change! The little maiden
with the dark braids of hair hanging
far below her waist had developed into
tall slender girl, with clear-cut oval
face, crowned by mass of dark tress-
es. Her heavy, low-arching brows
spanned the thoughtful deep, dark
brown eyes that seemed to speak the
soul within and the beautiful face was

Elections have been held throughout
Cuba for the purpose of choosing dele
gates to attend the forthcoming con-
vention which will draft constitution
for the island and among other things
consider the future relations of the
people to the United States. A crafty
ing feature of the elections was an al
most entire absence Of disturbances at
the polling places. So far as the dis
patches show, the elections were quite
as orderly as similar events are in any
section Of the United States. It seems
that an object lesson in electoral self
restraint was given in all parts Of the
island. The returns Indicate that the

The story Of love is as old as the world, and as all embracing as the universe It furnishes the sentiment for all romauces- ali novels-all plays.
 The novelist considers it wholly from the sentimental intellectual side, but there is another aspect even more ifnportant-the physical side. Sentimental love between men and women leads to close physical as- sociation-to marriage-to the rearing of children. And SO health must be consid- cred. A weak, sickly, head-achey, back achey woman cannot be a good, helpfll wife. She. cannot bear healthy, happy children. She cannot give her children the proper care and training
 A sick woman has no right to marry sick woman has no right to attempt moth erhood.

As to the Grant.

The following lester, which is a copy Of many that have been sen this week to parties who have filed on claims on the grant, presents new phase to the sltuation:
 TUCSON, Ariz, Jan. 15, 1900. William E. Marvin, Yuma, Arizona.
 Sir:- your application to make Homestead entry for the N E. I of Section 2l, Township 9 s. of Range 24 west, G. & S. R. M. is hereby rejected by the Register and Receiver of this office for the reason that the land for which you apply is in a state ofreserva- tion, and not subject to entry, it being q part of the Algodones Grant Claim, which was suspended April 4, 1885, and has not since been restored to the jurisdiction Of this office.
 We are now of the opinion that Sour application should have been immediately returned to you when presented, put having thought it possi- ble that those lands might be opened for entry, and that by holding your application we would thereby save you the expense and trouble of making new ones for the purpose; but as the action to be taken in relation to the opening of this tract is still in doubt, we now think best to formerly reject all pending applications as the means of avoiding complications which might arise when the entries can be made. You are also hereby notified of your right of appeal from this action of CUTS for 30 days from notice hereof.
 Very Respectfully,
