Col, Roosevelt as a Hero.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Vice Presi-
dent-elect of tbs United States, whose
career has been of an adventurous and
stirring character, is pleasing subject
for the writer of juvenile tales. In a
recent issue of the New Golden Hours,
weekly periodical for boys, published
at 25 Vandewater street, New York city
this story is running in serial form:
"Teddy Roosevelt's Protege, or, the
Prince of Cowboys in the Bad Lands.
In the story the author, Will Lisenbee'
t. eats the famous hero Of San Juan Hill
in a sensational and attractive way. At
all times "Teddy.' az he is Familiarity
called, proves equal TO the most danger,
GUS and trying situations. His adven-
lures in Cuba at the head of the Rough
Riders are graphically told, and he
carries out all that is youthful, or more
mature for that matter, mind can paint
him.
A FREE sample of No. 672, contain,
ing the opening chapters Of Teddy
Roosevelt's Protege,' will be sent upon
application.

rushed at the boy. intending to annihi-
late him. He struck vicious blow at
the smiling face of the youth, but it did
not reach its mark. Ned ducked neatly,
the blow passing above his head, and
then, whirling quickly, he struck Cuppv

Ing him like an OK stricken by sledge

fallen man lay there motionless, and
then he came to aud struggled to sit

'D:d the lightning strike somebody

Then, as the miners. who had stood
spellbound spectators of the atfray.
snickered, and his eyes fell on the boy,
it all came back 70 him, a struggling to
his feet, he walked slowly around Ned,
cycling him critically. Then approach
ing him gingerly, he felt the muscles on
tle boys arm-the one that had dealt
him such "a terrible blow.

exclaimed; and ez hard ez iron. Say,

Gold-Nugget Ned was the hero of the

to him, nor more ready to fight for him
at the drop of the hat than the defeated

HER ENEMY.

Evelyn Lysle stood at the window,
gazing at the handsome, well.knit fly
ure passing with free, graceful stride
along the street. She took care to keep
we'll behind the heavy folds Of the win
dow curtain, SO that by no possibility
could he spy her should he chance to
look up in passing for not for worlds
would she have had him suspect her OF
the weakness of looking after him or
bestowiag a second thought upou him
Clyde Rosslter, her enemy.
At least that was what she had al
ways been taught to call him, although
why he was so she never could clearly
understand. 1t had originated in some
feud between her father and his, begin
ming, as near as she could ascertain,
with the fact of Mr.. Rossiter having
married the girl on whom Mr.. Lysle
had set his heart, although he had GER
tainly found ample consolation in the
| lovely woman who afterward became
his wife, and whose loss he mourned so
deeply that he had never married again
and now broken down in health and
spirit, had gone TO Baden to try the ell
fcacy OF its celebrated baths, leaving
Evelyn in the care of an aunt. But
that initial act had been followed, as
Mr.. Lysle said, or at least believed, by
numerous other deeds of malice and en-
m:tv, and the teud had endured until
his once dearest friend and college mate
had become transformed into his most
inyeterate toe, and as soon as Evelyn
was of an age to understand such mat
tiers her mind had been filled with the
conviction that as Clinton Rossiter was
her fathers euemy, so of necessity, by
the logic of events, his only son Clyde
must be considered hers, and that she
should avoid all CONTRACTOR acquaintance
with him as she would that of a treach-
erous, implacable foe.
1t had been easy enough thus far to
obey that injunction, for Clyde Rossiter
had been abroad with his father since
ending his term at college; but now
they had returned to their native coun
try.
Accordingly it was not at all strange
that Clyde should pass the house that
day, or that seeing him 60 by, and rec
oenizing him at once from his likeness

GOLD-kUGGET NED.

~OLD-N NUGGET NED" was mys
VI terry to the miners of Glucker'
Gulch. The boy had appeared in the
camp Que evening just before dark.
He gave no account of himself other
than to state that he was from Kansas
that he had come to the mountains tc
make his fortune, and that, just at that
particular time, he was completely tired
out from walking over the rough noun
tain trails, and almost famished, not
having had bite to eat for nearly two
days.
The miners had taken compassion on
him and one of their number had taken
the hoy home with him, fed him, kept
him over night, and next day showed
him to a claim and told him to 60 tc
work.
Tibet thar claim berlonged ter Matt
Cuppy,' explained Ben Murray, The
pood-natured miner who had befrie nded
Ned, but ct never PANIED out very rich
an so, one day Matt he shouldered hi;
pick an shovel an struck out fur new
diggin's. We've never heerd tell o him
from tibet day to this, an | reckon he
made food fur Their mountain lions
'Tenny rate he'll never bother ye, an
though the claim amt worth much,
guess you can dig a Twin outen it.
But | have no TOOLS said Ned; v
can do nothing without tools
I've got an extra pick and spade,
said Ben; We air welcome to EN-
So Ned went to work and within an
hours time had turned up three hun
dred-dolar nugget.
The claim that had yielded scarcely
a living to its original owner had re-
sponded to the boys first efforts most
literally.
>Confoundedest luckiest chap ever
saw exclaimed Ben Murray. Gosh
wouldn't Matt Cuppy hop, though, il
he's alive an knew Nv the find in his
old claim
bet he would acquiesced another
miner. u expect he'd be fur hevin his
claim back agin.'
The miners were gathered in the
Happy Sally saloon and hotel, as was
their custom after the days work was
done, and while they were sitting there
talking, Ned, the boy miner. entered
carrying a good y-sized gold nugget IL
his hand, the second he had found thai
day.
Turned it up the last thing before
quit work, he explained to the group
of excited miners.
Wal, I'm durnedv exclaimed Bel
Murray with. with staring eyes. Gold
Nugget Ned, ye do jist beat the Jews
an no mistakep
Gold-Nugget Ned was the boys nam
from that time on. and while be kept OF
finding nuggets nearly every day, h
never got excited over it, but took thing
coolly and quietly.
He seemed to take the finding of tn
nuggets as matter of course. Tn
miners could not make out what man
ner Of boy he was. They talked abou
him a good deal, and wondered if h
had "sand" and what he would do j
Matt Cuppy was to return and CLAIM
his claim.
Well, one day they found out, for
Matt Cuppy returned to Quicker
Gulch and announced his intention G
taking possession of his old claim.
He had said nothing at all about hi
claim, nor even seemed to think Of j
until after he had been informed of tn
wonderful finds that had been made i
