Il Stopped the Gamblinu.

A good story is told Of Il certain
colonel in connection with an inspec.
ton of a crack riaeVorps which no
commanded.
The inspection passed OFF satisfac-
torily; there were no complaints,
and the regiment was evidently in
good order.
But" said the inspecting general,
Il am bound to tell you, colonel, that
rumors have reached me of gambling
being carried on extensively among
your officers"
That may have been the case, SIR"
said the colonel, some months ago:
but ! can assure you that nothing of
the kind Is In vogue now, because I've
won all the ready money in the regi.
ment, and ! would not allow any
gambling on credit"

CHAPTER iv.--(continued.)


There Was something so frank and
persuasive about the elegant stranger
that Joris could not refuse the cour
tesy she asked for herself and her
nephew. And, having yielded, ne
yielded with entire truth and conn
dence.
Elder semple was greatly pleased
at his friends complaisance. He gave
Joris full credit for his victory over
his national prejudice, and he did MS
very best to make the concession a
pleasant event. In this effort ne was
greatly assisted by Mrs. Gordon. She
set herself to charm Van Heemskirk,
as she had set herself to charm Ma
dam Van Heemskirk on her previous
visit. and she succeeded so well, that
when "Sir Roger de Coverley' was
called. Joris 8 offered her his hand
and to the delight Of every one pes
ent, led the dance with her.
II was a little triumph for the elder.
Indeed, he was so interested In listen
ing to the clever way In which tine
bonnie woman fattered Van Heems-
kirk that he was quite oblivious OF
the gathering wrath in his sons face,
and the watchful gloom In Bram's
eyes, as the two men stood together,
jealously observant of Capt. Hyde's
attentions to Katherine. Without any
words spoken on the subject, there
was an understood compact between
them to guard the girl from any pri-
vate conversation with him; and yet
two men with hearts full OF suspicion
and jealousy were not a match Tor n
man with a heart full OF love. In a
moment, in the interchange OF their
hands in a dance, Katherine clasped
tightly a little note, and unobserved
hid 1t behind the rose at her preast'
The loving girl thought it no wrong
to put it there; she ever hoped that
some kind Of blessing or sanction
might come through such sacred keep
ing, and she went to sleep whispering
to herself:
Happy | am. Me he loves; me he
loves; me only he loves; me forever
he loves"

SHIRLEY-MITCHFLL CASE.
Trial Concluded With Briefs to Be Filed observation-disclosures Re- sorts to Desperate Tactics
 Today.

The trial of the case of James Shir- lev against Geo. Mitchell, which is an outgrowth of the Cobre Grande litigation, was concluded today and submitted to the court. Each side was given fifteen days in which to file briefs. The defense resorted to tactics today which have caused con- siderable unfavorable comment, and which has not helped their case in the minds of the general public, by the introduction of testimony at tempting to impeach the reputation of the plaintiff. In rebuttal Of this MT. Shirley subpoenaed some of the best business men of the town, in- cluding its mayor, all of whom testi- fled to his reputation for truth and vsracity being good.
 Mir. Shirley has resided in Prescott for about twenty years and during that time has exhibited remarkable energy and perseverance, and has succeeded in attracting a large amount of capital to this section of the territory, for the development of mines, and man without at least a fairly good reputation could not have accomplished what he has succeeded in doing.
 At the inception of the Cobre Grande deal MT. Shirley's reputation seemed to have been good enough to satisfy both Mir. Green and Mir. Nit chell, and if it has suffered since, there may possibly be a way of ac- counting for it.
 During the period of his residence here, like a great many others, he has had his ups and downs, but during it all we have never known his reputa- tion or character having ever been called ill question.

LAST NIGHTS MUSICAL.
4 Splendid Entertainment at Dake's Opera House Under Direction
 of Mrs. Ross.

The opera house was filled last evening to witness the production of the Lady of Shalott," and from the applause and encords given it was evident that the audience appreciated the entertainment.
 An interesting and varied pro gramme was rendered prior to the production of the cantata at which several musicians appeared for the first time before Prescott audience and established themselves at once in the good graces of our music loving people. These were Mrs. Sloan and Dr. Yount in a quartette with Mrs. Ross and NJ. B. Hazeltine; Miss Helen Burmister, in piano solo; Mrs. Remington, in vocal solo; F.. c. Collier, in a vocal solo, and Miss Donna Wilson, in piano solo. Each of these is a valuable acquisition to the musical circles of Prescott, and each was accorded an encore last evening. Other numbers on this part of the program was piano solo bv Miss Bailey and vocal solo by Mrs. Ross.
 The Lady of Shalott" is very fine musical composition, and under the very able direction of Mrs. Ross and the efficient drilling which she had previously given those taking part in it. it was rendered in most charm ing and pleasing manner. The solo, ists in the cantata were Mesdames Ward and Long and Misses Crlley and Cline, the latter also making hel first appearance as a soloist. She Is possessed of very sweet voice which is we'll trained and she is destined tc make her mark as musician.
 Miss Frankie Kautz, attired IT beautiful costume, recited the lines of the poem, which set to music forms the cantata, and displayed re markable ability in this direction Mrs. w. A. Cline officiated as accom- panist on the piana and, it is needless to add, did so perfectly.
 Mrs. H. D. Ross certainly deserves very great credit for this admirable entertainment, as she not onl. demonstrated her own abilities as musician, but that she possesses won derful tact and skill as a musica director, a trait not often foun( r among women among even tn best musicians.

HONEST DICK TATE
The AbscOnding State Treasurer of Kentucky Who Disap- peared Twelve
 Years Ago Was He Charles Hill Who Recently Died in Los Angeles, Leav- ing One Hundred and
 Fifty Thousand
 Dollars?

Richard Tate was treasurer Of Ken lucky for many years. He was very popular with the people and ob- tained the sobriquete of "Honest Dick" Tate. One morning about twelve years ago, he suddenly disap- peared from the capital of Kentucky, leaving his family behind him. Upon examination of his accounts as treas urer, he was found to be about S25O,- 900 short, and the indications were that he had taken most of that sum with him. Detectives were put on his track, but nothing was ever heard of him and he was as completely lost as if the earth had swallowed him.
 A few days ago,a man calling him. self Charles Hill, died in Los Ange- les. He had been living in a room by himself for several years and took his meals at a restaurant. He dressed plainly and avoided society. Never at any time did he say anything about himself, his home or relatives. He lived in Los Angeles but hardly seemed part of it. When he took sick he went to the hospital for treat ment. It was soon discovered that he was on his death bed, and those in charge of the hospital tried to learn from him something about his home and family, but he declined to answer any question along this line and remained strangely silent and his life went out surrounded by mystery After his death a key to box in a safety vault was found in his pocket, and when the same was opened by his administrator it was found tocon- tain S142,000 in cash. It is now claimed that Charles Hill was none other than Richard Tate.
 Judge Hanson Kennedy of Ken lucky whois sojourning in this city for his health, received telegram today from the Los Angeles Herald, asking for a description of Tate as he ap- peared when last seen in Kentucky and the question as to the identity of Hill and Tate is now being consid- cred,
