ven the sheriff Joined with the 9TH

STS.
AS Pettibone voiced the agreement
with his companions, he flashed Guy
| a meaning glance and the quirt flew
awlxwardly from his hand. Dis
mounting, the sheriff led his horse
aside and bent to pick up his whip.
| This made breach in the Gordon
that surrounded the young man and
| left the road, for the moment, clear
before him. In trice he inter-
preted Pettibone's- look and dug his
heels into his horses sides. The ami
NAL sprung away like shaft from
a bow.
"Stop!" roared Pinney, but he
might as well have ordered the wi&d
to cease blowing.
stop or I'll shoot!'' shouted Lef-
fngwell, drawing revolver from
his pocket and sighting it quickly.
Still Guy did not halt and Petit
bone knocked the liveryman's arm
downward before he could fire.
"None of that, Lefingwell!" cried
the sheriff. "Chase after him, that's
the thing to do.''
Thereupon the six of them had re-
course to their spurs and quirts.
/ The horses of the pursuers had
seen hard service that morning and
were at a disadvantage. Guys
mount, on the contrary, was COM
paratively fresh, and he could see,
by the hasty glance which he occa-
sionally threw over his shoulder, that
he was slowly increasing the distance
that separated him from those be-
hind.
There was point where the road
forked, one branch leading on to
Amityville and the other turning
sharply in the direction of Harmony.
Pursued and pursuers were drawing
close to this point. Guys attention
was taken up by those behind and
Pettibone and his companions had
eyes for no one but the young man
in front. Thus it happened large
contingent of mounted men squirting
swiftly along the Harmony road,
failed to capture the notice of those
on the other trail.
Realization was brought suddenly
home to the Concordians by ter
rifle yell from the Harmonyites. Pet
tibone and his friends drew rein,
panic-stricken, and whirled to fee.
Capt. Blue was coming at the head
of his Invincibles, score at least,
and the sun shimmered upon the pol
ished gun barrels that lay across
their saddles.
Guy was between two fires. AS it
made little difference to him which
way he went, he kept straight on.
He saw at least half a dozen of the
Invincibles raise their guns to their
shoulders. Instantly he threw up
his hand.
Don't shoot" he cried, thinking
the weapons were aimed at him.
"I'm unarmed!''
At that precise juncture report
came from behind him and a bullet
sang past his ear. He turned in his
saddle to launch a threat and warn
ing at Pettibone and his men and.
just as he did so, spiteful volley
1eaped from the muzzles of the
1eveled guns ahead.
Guy felt sharp sting in his side
as though a knife-point had pricked
him.
stop, shooting!' he cried again,
and the quivering impotence of his
voice amazed him. stop shooting or
you'll kill somebody He had in
tended to make the shout lusty
one but it was scarcely more than a
whisper.
Everything in his line of vision be-
gan to reel. The horsemen in front
became tangled in a maze. He raised
himself in his stirrups, pressed both
hands over the burning spot in his
side and then pitched headforemost
from his saddle.

had only one glazed opening and
nothing but blank wall on it's east
ern side. What did this mean? The
Colonel rubbed his forehead. Was it
possible that he had slept into the
afternoon and that the sun was de-
scending instead of rising? He got
up and hurriedly dressed himself.
Then he walked to the window.
Merciful powers! There were iron
bars across the outside of it! The
mystery deepened. AS he stood
there staring 10, the face of Dingle,
looked in at him.
The Colonel staggered against the
wall and caught his head in his hands.
Was this hideous dream or was it
reality? Dingle remained at the win
dow but spoke no word. All he did
was to grin, in a sarcastic way and
draw the lid partly down over his
glass eye.
That half-wink broke the spell.
With a roar the Colonel rushed to the
cot and grabbed up the Winchester.
"Villain!" he cried, tossing the gun
to his shoulder. "Your insolence has
overshot the mark! You have dared
to come into this town again and this
time I've got you. Egad, we'll teach
YOU lesson now that you won't soon
forget"
Once more Dingle drew down the
left eyelid. The Winchester seemed
to have no terrors for him and the
Colonies fury passed all bounds. He
pulled the trigger-not with the in
tention to slay but merely to brighten
and to arouse the town. There was
a sharp click, but no report. The
Colonel pumped" the lever and tried
again, but with like result. ThenDin-
gle found his tongue. Don't excite
yourself, Keever," said he. capt.
Blue unloaded the magazine of that
gun last night"
"Gad!" yelled the Colonel. "Blue
is here, too, is he? And he came in on
me last night and tempered with my
rifie!" He lifted his voice to it's
strongest. "Up Concordians! Hello!
Hey! The enemy, the enemy!"
AS he finished he hurled the Win
chester at Dingle and the resonant
call ended in the crash of glass. Keev-
er sprang to the door. The key had
been removed from the inside of the
lock and the door did not respond to
his furious pull. He hurled himself
upon it and struggled like a demon.
So furious was the onslaught that the
knob came away and the great man
was precipitated to the floor. A laugh
foated in from the window. Gaining
his feet. after an elephantine tussle.
he braced himself in a corner and
turned his cleaning eyes upon the
barred opening. Dingle had been
joined by others, whose heads were
crowded together in the narrow
space; and when the Colonel had rec
ognized Capt. Blue, Mr.. Boomer, Maj.
Harp, Vlandingha1n, Barney and few
more, his brain became dizzy and he
staggered to the cot. Dropping down
there he buried his face in his hands.
Had it come to this? Was he finally
bewitched by the spirits of Kentucky
bourbon? He had been a hard drink
er all his life, but so had his father
been before him and he had died in
his ninetieth year, of a palsy. The
Colonel brought an impulsive heel
down on the empty flask.
~ don't know who you are, or
where I am" he said, hoarsely, peer
ing at the grinning faces in the win
dow, "but if there's a doctor among
you, send him to me. I'm going mad

COMFORT BRINGS CASH.
Succulent Feed On Hand to
Help Out the Pasture.

There is a direct connection be-
tween the comfort of the COW and
the cash. received by her owner. This
factor OF comfort may be made more
important by having combined with
it the additional factor of succulent
feed. This is especially the case
when cows are on pasture, in which
case their digestive systems have
adapted themselves to the succulent
nature of the foods. In case of q
storm lasting for days, or Of any
mishap that makes it necessary to
take the animals off the pasture, the
substitution for that pasture grass
of dry hay always causes loss in the
flow of milk and in the production of
butter fat. Every dairyman should
have on hand silage, sugar beets, or
some other succulent feed to help
out the pasture whenever necessary.
The Importance of this is shown by
an experience at the Arizona exper-
iment station, as told by the direct
or: The nth, 18th and 10Th days Of
November, 1900, were rainy days.
From the day before to the day aft
er the rains the amount OF milk de-
livered at the creameries fell off ten
per cent. In the same time the milk
from our own herd decreased 81 per
cent, aud continued to decrease I'M

How Gen. Wilson Cured a Bibu.ous
Fellow Officer.
CHARMING Story Told About the GAL
liant Soldier Who Will Repre-
sent the Army mt King Ed-
wards Coronation.

When the late Charles A. Dana was
assistant secretary of war he was COM
missioned to go to the front and, in
semiotficial letters, to give his impress
eions of the officers of Grants army
for the purpose of assisting President
Lincoln and Secretary Stanton in
forming their Judgment of military
leaders.
OF Gen. James II. Wilson, one of the
commissioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to represent the United
States at the coronation of King Ed
ward, Mr.. Dana wrote, under date OF
Cairo, ILL.,, July 13, 1863:
Lieut.. Col. Wilson. inspector general, Is
a captain Of engineers In the regular army,
and has rendered valuable services In that
capacity. He has remarkable tai
ents and uncommon executive power, and
will be heard from hereafter.
Gen. Wilson abundantly fulfilled
that prediction" said Brig. Gen. John
+. Weston, commissary general Of the
army. 81 had the honor" continued
Gen. Weston, "to serve on Gen. vii.
sons staff during his famous cavalry
campaign. In tht opinion of his men
and in the estimate of Grant himself,
Gen. Wilson was a remarkably bril-.
liant soldier. Gen. Wilson was very
young when made cavalry command
er. In fact, he was but 81 years Of
age when he assisted in the final tri.
umphs of the war"
An officer in the war department at

urday Evening Post, tells of an Incl.
dent in which the youth and the still
more youthful appearance Of Gen. vii.
son during the civil war almost led a
distinguished colonel to send in his
resignation. at is an interesting bit
of unwritten history" said the officer
who relates the story.

were being heralded throughout the
country, Col. - was transferred

No Money in Poor Cows.

The poor farmer sticks to the poor
cow and imagines that he is making
money out of her. Fortunately for
that kind of COW, the said kind Of
farmer has a strong imagination-one
that does not have to have facts to build
upon. If the farmer got TO demanding
proofs of the value Of his poor COW,
IL would be the end of the COW. II is a

judicial turn of mind. If about half of
the cows of the county were turned
into cow beef it would be better for
