1nstinctively Dean put forth his
hand under the dripping poncho and
tugged at the straps of his off saddle
bag. No need for dread on that score.
The bulky package, wrapped, sealed
and corded, was bullying out of the
side of his field pouch TIL it looked as
though he had crammed a cavalry
boot into it's nav.
''Thirty men-mounted? no wag-
ons or - anything?" he anxiously
asked
'Full thirty, sir, and every man
armed with rifle as far as I could
see," said Carey, "and if it was us
they was after, they'd have had us at
their mercy down in that pocket at
the Springs"
A shout from one of the men at
tracted the attention of the lead
ers. The storm had spent it's
force and gone rolling away eastward.
The thunder was rumbling far over
toward the now invisible crest of the
Black Hills of Wyoming. The rain
sheets had given place to trickling
downpour. A dim light was stealing
into the blackness of the gorge.
Louder and fercer roared the Box
Elder, flashing its banks with foam.
And then came the cry again.
Il tell you it is, by God! for there
goes another!"
All eyes followed the direction of the
pointing finger. All eyes saw, even
though dlmly, the saddled form of a
horse plunging and struggling in the
food, making vain effort to Chamber
out, then whirling helplessly away
swept out of sight around the shoulder
of the bluff, and borne down on the toss
ing waves of the torrent. Men mean
no irreverence when they call upon

Many Animals Burned to Death

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 31.-Seventy-
five or more animals of all descriptions
confined in cages at Frank C. Bos-
tock's 'Zoo," which was in winter
quarters in the old cyclorama build
ing in this city, were roasted or
burned to death Wednesday night.
The fire probably originated from
badly insulated electric light WIRE
The loss on animals is estimated at
about 100000 The building could
probably be duplicated for $4,000 or
$4,000.

sniff" half dozen doughboys, therefore.
corporals in the old fashioned frock
and felt, and still smaller squad of
troopers in yellow-trimmed jackets
and brass-mounted forage caps, were
drawn up at the edge Of the parade
awaiting the further signal Of adiu-
tant's call, while the adjutant himself
swore savagely and sent the orderly
on the run for the sergeant-major
When the clock-governed functionary
was missing something indeed must be
going wrong.
Presently the orderly came running
back
"Sergt. Dineen isn't home, sir, and
his wife says he hasn't been back since
the lieutenant sent him to town with
the last Dispatch
'Tell the first sergeant of B COM
pany, then, to act as sergeant-maJor at
once" said the adjutant, and hurried
over to his colonel. 'Dineen's not back,
sir" he reported at the gate. Can
anything be wrong?"
81 ordered him to bring with him the
answer to my dispatch to the general
who wired to me from the railway de-
pot at Cheyenne. Probably he's been
waiting for that, and the generals
away somewhere. We ought to have
an operator here day and night" said
Pecksniff, petulantly. But the irrita-
ton in his eyes gave way to anxiety
when at that moment the suffers
buggy was seen dashing into the gar
rison at headlong speed, his smart
trotter urged almost to run. Griggs
reinsd up with no little hard pulling
at the colonies gate, and they could
see a dozen yards off that his face was
pale.
"Have you any idea. colonel" he
began the moment the officers reached
him, ''where Maj. Burleigh can be?
He left the depot somewhere about
three o'clock this morning with that
Capt Newhall. He hasn't returned
and can't be found. Your sergeant
major was waylaid and robbed some
time after midnight, and John Fol-
som was picked up senseless in the
alley back Of his house two hours
| ago. What does it all mean?"

He8EY Loss by Fire

Fargo, n. D., Feb. 1.-The business
portion of Fort Abercrombie, 80 miles
south of Fargo. was destroyed to-
night by fire, which is reported to have
been started by an upturned lamp in
machinery house. Both the telegraph
and telephone wires are grounded, but
messages at midnight from adjoining
towns state that the fire was con-
trolled after II business houses had
been destroyed. The loss is placed at
from $4,000 to 100000, with less than
$4,000 Insurance

Great Battle Reported,

Bombay, Feb. 2.-Reports have ar
rived here of sanguinary battle
near Koweit, on the Persian gulf, be-
tween the sheil1hs of Koweit and
Binrashid, who calls himself king of
Arabia. Binrashid had 10000 men,
partially armed with rifles, while the
sheikhs had 10000, all mounted and
carrying rifles. Binrashid marched
on Koweit, and the sheikhs advanced
to meet him. The battle, which was
fought by night, lasted from sunset
to dawn. Binrashid charged repeat
edly, but he was completely routed
by the sheikhs, who captured a great
quantity of booty.

Cuban English

A male Cuban teacher who prides
himself on having acquired English
had changed his clothes one day and
in doing SO had forgotten to transfer
from one garment to the other the
key to his desk. This is how he told
his friend of it: 81 have forget the
key to my other trousers" Another,
when told that a friend had just been
in town, inquired: did you walk at
the foot or at the carr" The Cam
bridge jokes are not all on the Gu
bans. Recently a boy was engaged to
distribute tickets to the teachers for
an approaching concert. President
Eliot, standing by, thought he might
possibly attend, and extended his
hand for ticket. The boy gave a
glance at him and remarked, scornr
fully: "You amt no Cuban!" TROY

EHaving worked their followers
into a frenzy Of opposition to the ship
ping bill because of the allegation that
almost all Of the compensation would
go TO fast ships. the free trade New
York Reform club unblushingly re-
vers<s the attack by sending forth an
''ofncial' statement in which it proves
that there will be no fast ships built
even if the bill passes.

EThe opponents of the Shipping

UThe opponents Of the Shipping
bill are of two classes. There are
those who are sincere, but take mar
row view Of it, which does not in
clude the great and important object
whose attainment is sought, and there
are the others who would always OPP
pose anything advocated by repub-
licans, whatever it's merits might be.
Americans who are fair, whose
thoughts are clear and whose view is
broad, favor the bill and hope that it
will soon become law.-Albany Jour

DETERMINED 70 KILL MISS Stone
BULGARIA MUST ANSWER
The Brigand Leader viii Never Let
Her Esoape--she Possesses
Valuable Secrets.

Information has been received at
Sofia, Bulgaria. from Doubnitza that
the band of brigands holding captive
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone. the American
missionary, called about a fortnight
ago at the village of Smetchevo and
subsequently proceeded to the monas.
tery at Rio, but the movements of
the troops compelled the brlgands to
flee toward the frontier. where they
are now In hiding. II Is asserted
that the brigands have recently been
treating Miss Stone with more seve-
rlty In order to exercise pressure and
TO compel more ready acceptance of
their conditions. Consul General
Dickinson Is infexible. He insists
that the surrender of Miss Stone must
precede or be Simultaneous with the
payment of the ransom. His atti-
tude Is justified by the known deter.
mination of some members of the
band. particularly the captain. Yanne
Sandansky. to kill Miss Stone and her
companion as soon as the ransom is
received. owing to the fact that the
capttyes have now acquired informa-
tion concerning the secret committee.
Competent persons express the opin-
ion that the cupidity of the brigands
will overcome their fear of revela-
tions. and all such approve the declar-
alton of Mr.. Dickinson. Mr.. Dickin-
son made energetic representation to
the Bulgarian government against the
Bulgarian troops. reproaching the Of
flcials with the fact that notwith-
standing their solemn promises to give
him all assistance in their power, their
action was embarrassing the negotia-
tions. retarding a settlement and plac-
ing in jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
He made a definite declaration that
the Bulgarian government would be
held responsible for the death of Miss
Stone and all the consequences OF her
death. should it be proved that the
attitude of the Bulgarian government
forced the brigands to kill their cap
