started the fad at Newport who still
follow it, and their deeply tanned

 Untold treasures of money and jew els are believed to have been buried near the Angeli Gate, Genoa, and treas ure seekers are digging for all they are worth.
 A monument to Ole Bull, designed by the Danish sculptor Stephen Sind. ing, was recently unveiled at Bergen. in Norway. The violinist is shown lis tening to the music of a water nix ol spirit. A cascade falls over the strings of the harp held by the nix and is thus supposed to give the keynote or inspi ration for which the artist waits.
 A dispatch from Cardiff states Shat an electrician named Smith has in- vented two X-ray tubes which he claims do not produce any bad results upon the subject, one of them actually tending to heal burns and wounds, says the New York Sun.

She saw the lightning blows that sent two of the brutal assailants crashing their full length on the sidewalk, saw him whirl upon the third, who darted back into the saloon, and the next in- stant an impressive tableau under the sputtering electric light - Langdon, bareheaded, spare and athletic, with clinching fists gazing down at two be- wildered ruffians slowly struggling to their feet; a young battery man, blood covered and feeble, clinging to the lamppost; barkeeper in shirt sleeves, with two or three satellites peering out from the doorway, and two stalwart soldiers, just arrived, facing their for mer officer and, with the instinct of long habit, standing at the salute.

LangdOn, passing Nathan without sign, looked straight into the eyes of his adjutant and plainly Indicated that he had no desire whatever to converse with him. Two minutes later, in the keen, frosty air of the wide western street, he found himself swiftly pacing the broad, wooden sidewalk, cracking with cold under their light footballs, Ethel Grahame, with bright eyes and flushed cheeks and quick, elastic steps, springing along by his side, her. hand within his arm. Had any one told him the day he so sadly left Pawnee that this would be possibility in the near future Eric Langdon could hardly have believed.
 The air was crisp, keen and sharply cold, but there was no wind, and he never seemed to feel the lack of an overcoat. His old cutaway was hand some, stylish garment when first it came to him three years agone, but buttons and buttonholes were strain ing now as he filled his lungs with the ozone and oxygen of that rare, exhila- rating atmosphere. The shops at the street corners at first were brilliantly lighted, and the bridge over the Red Water was lively with sleighs, street cars and pedestrians hurrying home ward. It was she who had turned southward as they left the hotel at the ladies' door, and it made no difference to him. His habitat was the north side-the yards of the Big Horn-but she had chosen the opposite direction, away. from what might be called the residence side of the city.

 "Do you like it?' she asked after moments pause.
 "It is interesting and exactiltg," he replied, guiding her carefully over a broken cross walk The streets seemed neglected hereabout. There was sa- loon on every corner and 8 knot of loafers at almest every saloon.
 "I'm almost sorry you chose this route, Miss Grahame," he continued, noting the curious looks that were bent upon him and his companion; noting, too, an occasional elbow nudge among the loiterers.
 ''The Seattle side doesn't seem to be the better side, does it?' she answered, half laughing. ssBut, then, I've twice 0een to your station and the scene of your exploit. thought should like to see what was left of the Seattle. Oh, MT. Langdon, I'm afraid there's .roubIer'
 Not 40 feet away the double doors of h saloon suddenly swung violently out ward, and little group of men came surging and struggling forth. One, a young soldier in artillery uniform, hampered by his heavy oyercoat and bending double and striving to protect his head, was in the grasp of two pow erful toughs, who, followed by third, were furiously kicking and striking at their almost helpless victim. Half a block farther down the street, hurrying toward the station, all ignorant of the plight of their comrade, two soldiers were striding swiftly away. In an in-
