These words were spoken by Mr..

he plunged into the mad whirl of Wall

years and with success attained by
few.

In the case OF Great Britain the ag
gregate damages are not so great as
those of Germany, the claims of the
latter being about 100000.
The claims are divided into two
classes. Those of the first class are
divided into two divisions. The first
division consists of claims for the de-
struction and appropriation Of proper

ment forces. In this are included the
destruction of plantations and build.

bic property. The insistence upon an
adjustment Of this class of claim has
been more urgent than in regard to the
others. The second division consists Of
claims for losses sustained and dam

He was short, corpulent, impor-
tant-looking man, and as he walked
down the aisle in the church in which
he was much-respected and honored
member he seemed fairly to radiate
self-love and self-approval. He
stopped few PAGES from pew No. 5
to allow his matronly-looking wife and
three stunning-looking and blooming
daughters to precede him, when, to his
disgust and amazement, he discovered
that it was already filled to overflow
ing with some strangers. fastening
to the back of the church, where the
negligent ushers were engaged in an
animated conversation concerning the
spring styles, he demanded in a voice
filed with indignation and ire: "Who's

An Object Lesson.

My son, man approaches. Focul
your observers on him; behold him.
Notice his pallid face, his lusterless
eyes, his slow steps and his stopped
shoulders.
See, his lips are set as if in pain and a
triphammer seems to beat at his tenn
pies.
His nights are sleepless, his days are
full of condensed misery and life is one
long, dizzy old grind for him.
Once he was happy and content-a
man among men-but now he is a
reckless wreck.
His friends avoid him, and when he
goes home his dog hunts dark cor
ner. His good wife returned to her
mother many moons ago.
Take a couple of more looks, my son.
Can you guess what has wrought all
this trouble?
Rum? The demon Rum, you say?
Not so, my son. Your guesser is
rusty.
Pie! Doughnutsl Hot bread!
That is the answer, my boy. Those
six-minute dinners did it.

all.

with quiet significance, the butt of
the heavy revolver in it's stamped
leather holster. Not a muscle of his
face relaxed it's fixed strain. II made
the Americans jaws ache to look at
him.
He waited mechanically for the
answer he knew would not come;
then burst out again in frenzied eff
fort to batter down the stony ram
parts of the others deadly silence.
"You hound, you! You'd have done
the same thing in my place. You'd
have done worse if you could. Why
don't you say something, you dirty
Greaser dog? You're filthy cow
ard! Get down off that horse and
fight me like a man. No, of course
you won't. Ugh. What a beautiful
fool l was to think that you would
help me to get away from her rela-
tives. You would show me a safe
way across the desert and over the
frontier would you? Yes, you would.
Yah! You dog, you! What want to
know, is what are you going to do
with me? Answer me that. Answer
me. What are you going to do with
me? Hey? Say something, can't
you! Say something"
His voice had climaXed to furt-
GUS yell; but now he fell quiet sud-
denly, watching with fascinated eyes
the phlegmatic mask of the utterly
unmoved Mexican. His burst of rag e
had been but sorry cloak for the
cold terror that was clutching at his
heart. He realized this with increas-
the Mexican knew it. In spite of the
terrific heat his face aud hands were
clammy cold, and he shivered fitfully.
They rode on through the long
afternoon in clammy silence that
was unbroken save for the muir
fed shutting of the mustangs
feet on the Tllowy sand. The
American had fallen into dull APP
athy, and rode like a sick man, his
head dropping lollingly upon his
breast. The Mexican did not change
his attitude by so much as a hair:
riding erect and elastic, his face-a
stone, and his eyes-ice.
Presently the sun dropped abrupt
ly over the far edge of the sand-
tank, and there succeeded a brief
twilight of the blanched grayness of
death. The Mexican swung himself
lightly from the saddle and with a
gesture to his companion to do like
wise began to loosen the "bellyband'
from his sweating mustang. This
new move was viewed by the Ameri-
can with suspicion and alarm; but,
seeing that no immediate danger was
imminent he alighted slowly on the
further side of his fellow traveller,
and cautiously unsaddled the animal.
The Mexican, in the meantime had
staked out his horse with his RATA,
and was now busying himself with
