| But within the first few days Of his COM

of the story of how devoted young Field

In the majors behalf? Long had Flint had
his eye on a certain desirable berth in the
distant east-at the national capital in fact
but never yet had he found statesman or
soldier inclined to further his desire That
night the major babe Mr.. and Mrs. Wilkins
hold their peace as to Fields peccadilloes
until further leave was given them to
speak. That night the major, calling at
Captains Dades, was concerned to hear
that Mrs. Dade was not at home Gone
over to the hospital with Mrs. Blake and
the doctor" was the explanation. and
these gentle-hearted women, 1t seems, were
striving to % something to rouse the lad
from the slough Of despond which had en-
quilted him. That night Pink Marble,
many year. one-armed veteran of the
civil war, calling, as was his tnvariable
custom when the trader was absent to
leave the keys Of the safe and desks with
flood of tears. for which she declined all
explanations; yet the sight Of Pete, the half
breed, slouching away toward the stables
as Marble closed the gate more than sug-
gested cause, for Pink had long disap-
proved OF that young man.
That night Crapaud. the other stabieman,
had scandalized Jerry Sullivan, the bar
keeper. and old McGann, Webb's HiberniAn
major dOmo, by interrupting their game OF
old sledge with demand for a quart OF
whisky on top Of all that he had obviously
and surreptitiously been drinking. and by
further INDUCING In furious threats, in q
sputtering mixture OF Dakota French and
French Dakota, when summarily kicked
out. That night, late as IL o'clock, Mrs.
Ray. aroused by the infantile demands OF
the fourth of the olive branches, and
further disturbed by the suspicious grow3-
ings and challenge OF old Tonic, Blake's
veteran mastin, peeped from the second
story window and plainly saw two forms
in soldier overcoats at the back fence, and
wondered what the sentries found about
Blake's quarters to require much atten-
ton. Then she became aware of a third
form, rifie-bearing. and slowly pacing the
curving line of the bluff-the sentry beyond
doubt. Who, then, were these others. who
had now totally disappeared? She thought
to speak of 1t to Mamie in the morning,
and then thought not. There were reasons
why nervous alarm of any kind were best
averted then from Mrs. Blake. But there
came reasons speedily why Mrs. Ray could
not forget 1t.
And that night, later still. along toward
o'clock, the persistent clicking of the tele-
graph instrument at the adjutant's ONCE
caught the ear Of the sentry, who in time
stirred up the operator, and q rush" mes

UNDER GREAT DIFFICULTIES.
Champ Clark Tells How Ex-Gov. Ball
Gained a SANDER Case.

''Resourcefulness in a lawyer In the actual
trial Of a case Is as necessary as the same
quality in q general on a battlefield. said
Representative Champ Clark to an Evening
Star reporter. 81 saw my old law partner,
ex-Lieut. Gov David A Ball, gain Islander
case once under difficult circumstances-as
1t WERE snatch victory from the jaws Of de-
feat-by a happy exercise of that wondrous
common sense with which he Is so lavishly
endowed. and without which in any man
all other gifts are only vanity and vexation
Of spirit.
Ball had for client wizen-faced.
shambling wild-eyed old tie-chopper named
Sam Barnes slim as q racer and short Of
stature. A fat. stocky, big-bellied 200
FOUNDER named Zach BoOthe had accused
Barnes of stealing his bacon. and had
forced Barnes In his own cabin. in the pres
ence Of his wife and children. to hold out
his foot for measurement to see II 1t would
fit certain suspicious tracks.
Barnes was poor as Jobs turkey; but
general for the poor. They are always with
him, both In court and al the polls. Conse-
quently Barnes went to Ball with his bleed
ing heart and shattered reputation straight
a bird could fly. Suit was promptly in
sututed against Boothe. The case came up
for trial and poor Barnes began to bowl
up as usual. Ball unceremoniously jailed
him in his back office for three days, lead
Ing MIN 10 court Dy the ear as q Policeman
would a prisoner-but he kept him sober
until victory perched upon their banner.
ION the witness stand Boothe swore that
the reason he knew that Barnes stole the
meat was that the thief entered the smoke
house through window 10x1S inches,
where two Sx1O panes had been broken out,
and that Barnes was the only man in the
neighborhood small enough to get through
that hole
1.-The jury scowled on Barnes and smiled
on Boothe. and Boothe beamed eleaginously
on everybody. He metaphorically patted
himself on the back as a sure winner. But
change came over the spirit of his dream
very suddenly. Ball had heard that he was
going to swear that way, was loaded for
him and was laying for him.
While BoOthe was in the midst of his
self-congratulatory grinning Ball yanked
window sash 1Ox18 from under the table,
and before Boothe. the court or anybody
else knew what he was up to, he had slip
ped that sash over Boothes head and 1t
dropped over his broad shoulders and ro-
tund abdomen with fat capon lined to the
floor.
Then he asked juryman, who was six
feet four inches high. to stand up, and he
passed him through that sash. The demon
stratiOn was complete and his triumph as
sured. He had furnished the jury what
Othello demanded Of Iago-'the ocular
proof. The jury caught on and trans
ferred their smiles to Barnes and their
scowls to Boothe. All the sherifts ever COM
missioned couldn't have kept that crowd
from cheering, and Barnes was awarded
substantial damages"

Love is the Best Beautifier.
From the New York News.

T rom tue VIEW IUfk NeWB.
When a woman is in love she Is possibly
more attractive than at any other time. The
woman who. in the usual course Of things.
lacks charm. or, at any rate, that fascina-
ton which draws no lack Of admirers to
her feet, trebles her attractive powers when
she loves and spends her life in loving pas
sionately and without reserve.
Love is pre-emnently woman's quality,
and 1t is when she Is in love that she is
most womanly, and. therefore, most at
tractive. The woman who apes the oppo-
site sex is usually dispised by other wo-

From Podunk Centre,

Silas Hawkins and his sister, Sue,
OF Podunk Centre, were in Danville
yesterday. They were attired in rustic
costume and attracted a great deal of
attention as they walked thg,u2h tl.r
streets. Pavements they stunned as
devices unknown and they chose the
middle of the roadway as their path.
Silas pointed out the large buildings
to Sue and the store windows were
objects of much interest to the pair.
Silas carried an ancient carpetsack
and when 1t opened sign was disclos-
ed to view telling the gaping public
to Smoke the Path Finder Cigar. {"
The pair do this "Rube" turn as an
advertisement. They met Manager
John Murray, of the Murray & Mackey
Company, on Mill street. johnny and
Sllas had an interesting comedy col
loquy, i'll which honors were even.

ant jokes and Silas never forgot his

The situation as it relates to fuel
for our industries is becoming more
grave with each succeeding day. There
is very little of either soft coal or coke
on hand and shipments cannot be at
all relied upon, no matter how early
the orders were placed. AS one manu-
facturer put it yesterday: 1--WE are
working from hand to mouth, and if
we have coal today we have no assur-
ance that we will have any tomorrow.
We are kept III a continuous suspense
and do not know what plans to make,
for we can not tell whether we can
operate our plant two days in the
future. "

quantity of soft coal on hand when the

true, the stock has run low, but there
Is enough coal on hand to keep the
works running for some days even
should shipments be slow to arrive.
At the Reading Iron Works conse-
quently there are no fears of a shut
down at present.
At the Stove Works Monday things
about the stock yard presented an ap-
pearance that was anything but en-
couraging The supply of coke was
reduced to a small pile that would
scarcely suffice for more than one heat
A car load of coke is ordered and it is
thought to be on its way, but there is
no telling when it may arrive, owing
to the cOngested state of traffic on the
main line. The management has little
hope of being able to run the works
regularly until the strike is settled and
affairs relating to it become normal
again.

Audience Delighted With Last Nights
Play.

Michael Strogoff the well-known
play, the scenes and plot of which are
entirely Russian, was presented by the
Murray d Mackey company, last even
ing at the Opera House. to large au-
dience. The work of the players was
in keeping with all preceding per-
formances, all the parts being ably
cast and we'll played.
Mr.. Donavin made an excellent
Michael. His work was conscien-
tious and careful Messrs. Burke and
Belmont were very amusing as the two
war correspondents. Mrs. Murray as
|" Nadia" was surprise. This talent
ed lady, who has been known only in
the leading vaudeville theaters, has
developed wonderfully as a dramatic
actress and her work last evening was
artistic and of a high order MI &.
Hamilton as ''Ogareff' is also worthy
of mention.
The entire change of specialties each
evening varies the entertainment, those
of last evening being all new. There
seems to be no limit to the dances of
the McCann family. They give new
ones every night. The attendance in
creases each evening. "When New

IF Republican policy, as laid down by
the late President Mckinley, is to be
perpetuated and carried out, it will be
absolutely necessary to return Repub-
lican majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives. If any danger to this plan
exists it will be from Indifference, and
this is what must be guarded against.
1t is the duty of every Republican to
see to it that his neighbors are properly
aroused to the Importance of voting for
Republican Congressman.
THE great trouble with the Demo-
cratic party is that it has been seeking
issues instead of permitting issues to
seek it. Several issues have been tried
in the hope of attaining power, but all
have been abandoned and now the
