Not "Ono of tho Boys"

There Is a good story going the
rounds on one Of the main officers of
the Illinois, the big battle ship which
steamed up the Mississippi to test the
New orleans dry dock Congressman
Adolph Meyer, who made such val
liant fight for the establishment Of the
dock at New Orleans, had gone over to
inspect the big steamer that was to
make the test. He was met in the
most cordial way imaginable by the
officers. Gen. Meyer remarked that he
would leave for Washington shortly.
IL beg you, general, to remember me
to the boys In Washington" said one
Of the officers with polite bow. Eyes,
said Gen. Meyer, II will call on the
secretary Of the navy as soon as l
reach Washington, and" Mo-
excuse -general-of course--I
-" stammered the officer with evil
dent embarrassment, and there was
litter in the little group, but the Off
Ger finally managed to say that he did
not include the secretary Of the navy
when he referred to the boys at Wash
ington. The incident passed pleasant
ly, there was jolly laugh and the
congressman passed out of the group.

CHAPTER IN.
Countess Aimee,

The lady had once again covered
her face with the VEIL showing some
annoyance at the apparent accident
and paying little heed to the clumsy
walters profuse apologies,
Paul had really gotten the worth OF
his money, Indeed, what he dlscov-
cred was more than he had barga!ned
for, IL one could Judge from the frown
upon his brow and the expression Of
surprise, mingled with disgust that
swept over his countenance,
"Phew! what can this mean? Why
is Aimee the Countess, in Heidelberg?
Somehow l fear complications She
appears to have some reason for hat"
Ing Hildegarde-it can't be because |
love the girl?'
And, while he crouched there in his
chair, he saw again the peculiar cir
cumstances under which he had been
thrown into the society OF this dash
ing young French widow, whose black
eyes were eloquent with the ardor o.
emotions
1t was in Paris, and the conditions,
while not far removed from the ludi-
crous, seemed to make him her debtor
to degree.
Perhaps 1t was hardly wise for Paul
to frequent the salon Of the countess
so often, especially when he dlscov.
cred that she seemed to show a de-
cided preference to his company.
He aroused himself at length ana
hastily quilted Paris without seeing
her again.
That was months ago.

Evidently something was working
wretchedly, and tho wheels OF prog
reBB needed oiling.
Again he was fain 10 cast the bur-
den upon the shoulders of Hoffman
never once dreaming that jealousy
could have entered into the matter
at ALL
After saunterlng about for some
time, Paul found a seat whore he could
feast his eyes upon the charming fea-
lures OF his Inamorlta, though utterly
without her knowledge,
And, as he sat there, slipping from
his mug, and indulging In such de-
llghtful dreams as young lover Is
apt TO have float through his mind
Paul suddenly became conscious Of the
fact that Hildegarde and her escort
the madam, were objects of intense
Interest to others as well as himself
and the party who seemed to be so
deeply interested In Hlldegarde was no
young gallant but woman,
How like a hawk she surveyed the
girl, At times, such was her eagerness
that she even leaned forward as
though breathless and once Paul saw
her hand steal to her bosom as though
In search of weapon
Who was she?
Why should she spy upon Hlldegarde
with such eagerness, when her actions
reminded Paul Of q tigreas about TO
spring?
What was there familiar about that
llssome figure? while the quick, supple
motions seemed to haunt him as with
faint recollection Of forgotten past?
Paul's curiosity oyercame his pru-
dence, and he resolved upon bold
move to discover the truth.
He held a whispered consultation
with one Of the walters and u couple
Of coins changed hands. And present
ly the fellow came IN sight, moving
past the yelled lady, bearing his hands
full OF empty beer mugs and breakers.
1t might have been sheer accident,
since no design was apparent on the
surface, but the walter certainly man
aged to catch the offending veil upon
pin or button, and for n brief inter-
val her face was plainly revealed un-
der the garlsh lights Of the garden,
Pauls breath failed him, and, while
the audience cheered the conclusion
OF q patriotic air, he sat and stared
and gripped the table in front of him,
for he had seen a spectre of his dead
past arise,

CHAPTER VIII.
Paul Makes q Bold Move

| Gaul MAKES BOlu move,
What Paul had to say was of too
great Importance to be dealt with in
so public place as a concert garden.
He had waiter years, Surely a few
hours more or less could not matter
much.
II must see you tomorrow, when we
can nave a long talk and full ex-
planation. All the dreadful mysteries
of the past must be explained. Until
then, say nothing to any one about
me-"
The young girl looked disappointed.
Tomorrow Is long way off, and
have waited years to see sign; but
1t shall be as you say, brother. You
will tell me all, you promise, and take
away the dreadful mystery that Las
haunted my whole life?"
81 promise you faithfully, though
the truth may pain just as severely as
the uncertainty does now,' he an
swered, soberly.
Anything is better than madden
ing doubt" came the quick reply.
So Paul sat down with them, and
during intervals in the music, they
chatted about things in general,
though 1t was hard to refrain from
touching upon the subject that was up
pc most in his heart.
Then Karl hove in sight.
Paul turned his regards upon his
sister, and when he detected the sud-
den blush that mounted to her temples
as her eyes fell upon the student he
sighed with relief, and muttered.
1T is we'll They love, and love for
gives much"
When Karl had joined them, which
he eagerly did, Rhinelander took an
early opportunity to bid them good
night.
He did this not simply because he
wished to give his friend the whole
field, but desire to be alone with his
thoughts had come upon him.
In the course Of his wanderings
through the garden, he came almost
face to face with Hildegarde, and the
astonishing manner in which his heart
jumped at sight of her rather discon-
certed him.
His satisfaction was extremely short
lived however, for the pretty German
aid almost froze him with the cold
return she gave his salute. !

CHAPTER VII.
What Eildegardc Saw.


For several days after his visit Paul
moped more or less. BY degrees,
however, he conquered his gloomy
spirit, and arose out Of the quagnlire,
Other things were crowding fast
upon past events-the talk Of the uni
versity had turned upon the prospect
OF sudden war between France and
Germany and the whole country had
assumed a condition of suspense while
awaiting the action Of Louis Napoleon.
In every town and hamlet OF the
Fatherland, together with the prov
inces of the south, now apparently
ready to cast their lot with Prussia,
quiet but determined action was being
taken to gather the reserves and ev-
cry man was waiting for the word to
move.
Battle hymns were popular in Baden
in those days of uncertainty, as well as
in the provinces further removed from
the border; and many times "hoch"
greeted the Watch on the Rhine"
which stirred the pulses Of those who
listened, as little else could do.
AS Paul sat one night in concert
garden his eyes by accident fell once
more upon the face of the girl he had
come to Germany to see--his sister
AS before, Beatrix was in the company
Of the middle-aged madam, but Hoff-
man did not appear to be in sight.
Paul's resolution was taken.
He must learn whether Beatrix 70
membered she ever had brother.
The more he considered the matter,
the greater he was mystihed, and the
stronger grew his resolution to dis
cover the whole truth,
Once again fortune stepped into aid
him. 1t was only a gust Of wind
nothing particular in its way, and yet
serving to play the game directly into
the young mans hands.
For this same frollcsome wind,
stealing up behind the stout matron,
all unawares, snatched off the wonder
full concori .on of straw hat, covered
with ribbons anS gewgaws, that she
wore, and sent 1t flying into the air.
Rhinelander saw his chance, and
Hutchinson gazette., 1902-02-06

knew that II he saved that hat he
would cndear himself to the matron's
heart.
He recognized the distinct favor of
Providence, since all he had to do was
TO open his arms wide, and gently
enclose the fugitive headgear as 1t
calmly settled against his heart
Another minute and he was bowling
with the grace of a Chesterfield before
the Waldeck,
Madam, allow me to return your
beautiful hat" he said seriously.
That clinched matters Here was a
man who at least appreciated thing
Of beauty and a Joy forever In the mil
llnory line when he saw II, and, with
such rare attributes, he must be far
above the ordinary run of his sex,
so she smiled sweetly and thanked
him gushlngly while replacing the
marvellous combination OF straw and
ribbons on her head,
When this had been accomplished,
and she turned to look for the courte-
GUS young man, she found TO her in
tense surprise that he and Beatrix
were standing little distance away
engaged In the most animated OF con-
yersations.
1t had not been so diIlcult to ac-
compllsh after all, this bringing her
to his Blde,
A look did Il,
The young girls eyes were glued
upon his face, while red and white
chased across cheeks and brows, ana
into her eyes crept a startled look, as
though memory were struggling TO
solve great mysteries that had puzzled
her often Of late
Thrilled by the emotion that welcd
up in his heart he bent down and said;
"BeatrlX-slster!"
Then she knew him, and, leaving
her seat, came to his side and put n
hand on his arm, looking up into his
face as she Baid
"oh! now | know you arc Paul-my
own brother | am so glad, so glad!"
1t was undoubtedly a miserable
freak Of fortune that caused Hide
garde to pass by just at this junoture
In company with her aunt, and the
sight of Paul standing there holding
another by the hands and bending
down to look into her face so eagerly,
gave her shock from which she
would not soon recover,
This Is a world OF cross-purposos, Of
comedies and mistaken motives. Soon
er or later, we all feel the wretched re-
suit Of being judged from outward ap-
pearances.
And Paul was fated to suffer in the
same old way, when a word OF eX-
PLANTATION would have altered the COM
pleXlon of things,
"You remember me, them" he
asked. "You have not forgotten how
happy we once were, although you
were such little thing"
81 remember, Paul The other night
your face startled me, and have been
thinking so much, trying to recolect.
But where have you been? Why have
| not seen you? 1t is all so very
strange" she said eagerly.
And then Paul groaned, knowing
that this sweet girl was in almost ut
ter ignorance Of the fatal truth which
he must tell her.

CHAPTER vL-(ContInuod.)


"0hl as you please, You will always
find me choeriully open for engage
ment, though next time the result may
be something more serious to you than
a mere saber slash"
His careless, almost lllppant tone,
grated on the nerves Of the vanquished
"Yes, next time II will be to the
death" he growled
And Rhinolander, looking him
sQuarely in the eyes, replied slowly
you are right, Herr Hoffman, this
big world Is far too small to contain
both you and l. Ono of us must leave
II. You know where am to be found,
A speedy recovery, then, to your
wound, Ladies', goodnight"
II was most singular and unlocked
Then he left them,
for termination to his visit, He had
never once anticipated such miser-
able contretemps when laying out his
plans.
In surveying the wreck Of his hopes
the only satisfaction he could find lay
in the fact that he had managed to
bear himself with a fair amount Of dig
nifty in the painful premises,
And Hoffman must have correspond
ingly lowered himself In The estimation
OF the ladies'.
After all, what did 1t matter?
HlldegOrde could be nothing to him
II she were In any way related TO that
family whose very name haunted him
40 synonym Of all that was evil,
He groaned to realize It, yet surely II
would be an insult to his fathers
sacred memory II he condoned the sin
of the past by marrying one Of that
hated family.
The young American might not
know II, but he left sore heart be-
hind him when he quilted the stage of
the worthy fraulein.
Hildegarde had been building her
chateauX d'Espagne, too. Even the
strict German rules Of etiquette gov
ernlng the actions Of young, unmar-
ried females cannot prevent warm
hearted girl from indulglng In sweet
day dreams, and the attachment had
really been as strong on her part as on
his.
The fact that Paul had turned out to
be the rival Of her cousin Conrad in
the fateful duel that brought disaster
to the proud young Prusslan was not
an element in the game that gave her
pain.
Indeed, perhaps she could be secretly
pleased to know that after all his
boastful reign Hoffman had at length
met a master from over the sea, and
that the victor, whose name must be
on the lips of every student in Heldel-
berg, was none other than he whose
image had already been engraven on
her gentle heart.
But there was something more. lie
had spoken Of sacred bond existing
between himself and the girl whom
Conrad chose to consider had been in
suited by stare-had even declared he
would sooner cut his right hand off,
the hand that had so deXtrously WELD
ed the blade that downed Conrad, rath-
er than offend her, That could mean
only one thing. He loved her, this un-
known.
And Hlldegarde realized that such a
condition Of affairs brought unutter-
able blealness and woe to her, for try
as she might she could not drive his
image from her heart.

NOT BOUNDARIES
Supposed Frontier Markers Only
Ruins Of Stone Huts.

Victoria, b. c., Oct. 3o.-Archibald Cam
eron, road superintendent, who has just
arrived here from Porcupine says the
line of boundary monuments alleged to
have been discovered and stated to be
the demarkation of the alaskan boundary
are the ruins of stone huts buir by the
Indians of the interior where they met
those of the coast on a neutral ground
about 6s miles from tidewater and about
ten miles beyond the timber line.
He describes the origin OF the huts
as follows: The Indians OF the coast and
those OF the interior were jealous OF each
other in fact were hereditary foes and
that IL was only after generations Of bit
ter feud that armed truce was establish
ed between them. Before the arrartye-
ment OF this aboriginal modus vivendi the
Interior or Stick Indians. were not allow
ed to hunt or trap on the Pacific slope,
the coast Indians holding all the territory
which lies between the sea and the noun
tains as their particular reserve.
When the Russians established trading
posts on the coast OF Alaska. the Chiias
sent ENJOYS to the Sticks and proposed
peace terms so that their furs could be
exchanged. truce was made by which
the Sticks were allowed to come across
the Divide laden with furs to a certain
point where the Chilas met them with a
stock OF goods from the Russians and
there at stated times OF the year a great
Indian fair was held. The meeting place
was outside of the timber line and as no
wood was available they built stone huts
of the most primitive construction mere
piles of stone without mortar, the inter-
stices being filled with moss. and these
were used I'm common year after year ny
the traders. These were the so-called
monuments.

MITCHELL DAY CELEBRATION.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 30. - Yesterday
was Mitchell Day. All the mines OF the
region were idle while the mine workers
marched in parade, heard speeches at
mass meetings, and danced and dined.
This after FIVE months of idleness fol-
lowed by only FIVE days OF work. and
when the entire country Is waiting for
coal.
The days idleness will mean a loss of
10000 tons of coal TO the consumers and
will cost the mine workers In loss OF
wages something over s20e.0 Yet they
decided, at the meetings of locals, to
celebrate the day in honor Of their presi-
dent and to commemorate the second
anniversary OF the ending OF the 1900
strike. 1&
some of the <ompanies closed down
their mines and expected no work: others
kept open to see IL any men would apply

but not in sufficient number to warrant
the opening OF the collieries. Many OF
the washeries, however, worked with
non-union force.
They were not molested by the men,
who. full OF the spirit OF the day, went
10 the town where the main celebrations
took place.
The principal demonstration was held
in this city and President Mitchell took
part There was both snow and sun
