The Flight Of The Fearless

BY HENRY DAVIS MIDDLETON.
Copyright, 1902. by Daily Story Pub. COS
BOB Brown, commonly known
among the inhabitants of Ebonville
as Uncle Bob" was considered fear
less. No one was skeptical regarding
his fearlessness nor dared harbor the
least suspicion as to his being super
stitious. If, like most of his dusly
brethren, he "ruther not" begin a job
on a Friday. the invariable cause was
physical incapacity rather than SUI
perstitious fear. If, perchance. during
his nocturnal perambulations myriad
phantoms darted about his pathway
as he neared the village cemetery, he
would approach the hideous spectre,
and discovering it to be only an imam
innate illusion, he would pass upper.
turbed on his homeward way always
attributing sundry bruises and scars
visible upon various portions of his
anatomy at the time of these esca-
pades, to his bad sight and his haste
to reach home
II was not surprising, then, that
when the new hospital desired q
strong orderly for night duty in the
two male wards, he alone volunteered
to accept the position, while the tim
idity of his fellows permitted them
only to pass the frowning institution
at a safe distance and with much
trepidation.
When the first month ended Uncle
Bob" was pretty well initiated into
the mysteries of the hospital. For
weeks he had astonished his dusky
auditors with wild and weird stories
of his triumphs in the wards, opera
ting room and morgue of the institu-
ton; never failing to impress them
with the fact that 1t would be impos
sible to run the institution without his
services. He was indeed the most
fearless man in Ebonville. and was re.
garded by his peers with "supersti
tious reverence"
II was midnight The stiffness Of
the hour was only broken by the soft
tread of the nurses on their period
ical rounds of the wards. Uncle Bob,
seated upon bench on the lawn, just
outside the door of the basement
ward, occupied by the colored male
patients, smoked away upon his old
cob pipe, and hoped for the approach
of the morning when he should be off
duty. He fell asleep. He dreamed.
He saw visions. Yes, there they
were-all the patients both white and
black, who had died since his in
cumbency. They were after him-he
fed. They pursued him-he sought
refuge under the front steps of his
home. They followed menacingly.
There was no escape. oh, there was
Jim, wicked Jim, now black demon,
He had died muttering curses and i'm
precautions He was leading the other
demons His bloodshot eyes glared
just as they had in his dying mo-
ments; the bandage was about his
head. the white gown thrown loosely
about his emaciated form. They
sought to kill the orderly. Fire is
sued from their mouths, smoke from
their nostrils. lie shouted for help

Newspaper Published at Sea.

The new system of wireless biography
renders possible the realization of the
prediction that ~ewspape would be pub
lished on the ocean liners. They could
not, however, be as much ~up-to-date or
effective as those published on land. In
this respect they would diffe r widely
from the use of Hosteter's Stomach Bit
tiers, because it has been proven to be
just as effective on sea as on land. We
would therefore urge everyone contem-
plating an ocean trip to take a supply
with them. 1t is invaluable as a tonic
and preventive of sea-sickness. Those
who remain on land should always keep
a bottle of 1t in the house to cure heart
burn, digestion, dyspepsia, constipation
and malaria. Don't fail to try it.

MINES AND MINING.

\ The United Verde mine at Jerome, Ari-
IONA. has been closed down on account Of
fire in the underground workings.
Managing Director J. A. Yerington of
the Mckinley mines of White Pine coun-
ty has received word that at the meeting
of the directors of that held in
Buffalo on the Goth, flattering reports
were read from the superintendent of the
property and 1T was ordered that an addi-
tional hosting plant be installed at once,
and also a reduction plant, for converting
the ore into marketable metals. The
Saxton shaft is said to be particularly
good and the directors felt that there was
no longer reason to wait before building
their mill, which it is understood will be
a large one.-Carson News.
During the month of July the Tonopah
Gold Mining Company shipped to the
smelters in his valley no less than fifty
six carloads of ore, forty-eight of which
have been sampled and sold, while the
remainder will be released from the
sampler during the next few days. While
the figures for the tonnage and market
values of the shipments are not available,
1t is safe to say that the number of tons
will closely approximate 1,50o, which, at
5000 a ton, would enrich the company's
treasury by the sum of $500, 900. In addi-
ton to the Tonopah Company the Frac-
ton company sent over a two-car lot that
1t is understood to have netted the com
pany a snug little fortune. These ship
ments show that the Tonopah company
is doing a business that few mines in this
country car excel.-Salt Lake Herald.
