sonnI InNcstmcnt.

The first sale OF real estate on the auction
system before the members Of the Real
Estate exchange took place in Omaha at
1880 yesterday afternoon, at the conclu-
sion Of the weekly banquet OF the associa-
tion.
Before the sale was started the regular
meeting of the association was held, at
which addresses were made by James II.
Brown @. NJ. Hitchcock and George Il. Darr
Of Lexington. Mr.. Darr and Mr. Brown are
interested in real estate in their sections
Of the state and reported a great activity
in farm and ranch lands. Each one pre-
dicted an era Of prosperity for the Nebraska
farmer and land owner such as has not
been seen in many years.
Mr.. Hitchcock stated that for the first
time in many years Omaha real estate was
beginning to move that this condition was
not spasmodic or Of recent origin. it's in
ception dating back to four years ago, and
that the present activity in farm land was
the result of these years OF improved con-
ditions for the farmer and stock raiser.
He thought the activity in farm and grazing
lands would be followed by activity in city
property in all of the towns of the state
and that 1t was already being felt in
Omaha.

The terms of sale were t25 down and $40

second bid was $50, then it advanced by $40
a bid until $50 was reached when the price

1t was a round about the size Of 9
crown-piece. One side was blank, for
it had been the last leaf: the other con-
tanned a verse or two of Revelation
these words among the rest. which
struck sharply home upon my mind:
without are dogs and murerers.'
The printed side had been blackened
with wood-ash. which already began to
come off and soil my fingers; on the
blank side had been written with the
same material theone word. "Deposed.'

CHAPTER xxx.


l was wakered-indeed. we were all
wakened. for could see even the senti-
mel shake himself together from where
he had fallen agninst the doorpost by
4 clear, hearty voice hailing us from the
margin of the wood:
Block k-house. ahoy!"i it cried Heres
the doctor"
And the doctor 1t WAS. Although /
was glad to hear the sound, yet my
gladness was not without admixture.
/ remembered with confusion my in.
subordinate and stealthy conduct; and
when saw where it had brought me
among what companions and surround
ed by what dangers-I felt ashamed to
look him in the face.
He must have risen In the dark. for
the day had hardly come; and when /
ran to loop-hole and looked out saw
him standing, like Silver once before.
up to the mid-leg in creeping vapor.
"You, doctor! Top O the morning to
you, sir!" cried Silver, broad awake and
beaming with good nature in moment.
''Bright and early, to be sure. and It's
the early bird, as the saying goes; that
gets the rations George, shake up your
timbers, son. and help DR.. Livesey over
the ships side. All a-dooin' well, your
patients waa-all well and merry"
So he pattered on, standing on the
hill top, with his crutch under his el.
bow and one hand upon the side Of the
log house-quite the old John in voice,
manner and expression.
"Wc'ce quite surprise for you. too,
SIR" he continued. "We've . little
stranger here-he! he! A moo boarder
and lodger, sir. and looking fit and taut
as fiddle; slep' like supercargo, he
did, right alongside Of John-stem to
stem we was, all night"
DR.. Livesey was by this time across
the stockade and pretty near the cook.
and I could hear the alteration in his
voice as he said: :.z.,;-s-.,:.
mot Jim?"
1.-THE very same Jim a. ever was" says
Silver.
The doctor stopped outright although
he did not speak, and it was some sec
onds before he seemed able to move on.
| We'll, WE'LL" he said at last, duty
first and pleasure afterward. a. you
might have said yourself, Silver. Let
us overhaul these patients of yours"
| A moment afterward he had entered
the block-house, and, with one grim
nod to me, proceeded with his work
among the sick. He seemed to me un-
der no apprehension, though he must
have known that his life among these
treacherous demons depended on hair,
and he ratified on to his patients as II
he were paying an ordinary profes-
sional visit in quiet English family
His manner, suppose, reacted on the
men, for they behaved to him - II
nothing occurred-as II he were still

hands before the mast.
"You're doing well, my friend" he
said to the fellow with the bsndaged
head, "and If ever any person had Q

"The ship!" exclaimed the doctor.
Rapidly described to him my adven-
lures, and he heard me out in silence.
"There il kind OF fate in this" be
observed when I had done. "Every
step it's you that saves our lives; and
do you suppose by any chance we are
