By THE AUTHOR OF
BOB, SON OF BATTLE.
"A Story in McClure's for February.

"A Story in McClure's for February.
Alfred Ollivant's Bob, Son of Bat
tle," has always been popular, but,
though many readers would gladly
welcome it, no successor has yet ap-
peared. The author has recently,
however, published one or two short
stories, the latest of which appears
in the February McClure's. "Ths
Lord and the Lady's Glove" is a de-
lightiul love story that tells itself
charmingly in the vivacious dialogue
of the lovers themselves.

One man, Jesse Jones, a negro

Harry Folsom, Samuel Blain, and
ANDY Rogers, all charged with
grand larceny, succeeded in getting
away. BloodhOunds are Oh the

serving dinner to the men, when
Jones seized him through the half
open door, forcing Knapton from the
door. Jones left clear way for his
ceffmates to get away. Only three
OF them succeeded in doing so before
-shat-.Le#as- -tAe-bfaesstt,
the negro dying an hour later in the
city hospital. In the fight with Jones
knapton's two thumbs were almost
bitten off, and he was badly bruised.
Despite this fact, he subdued the bal

are bad men, and stood guard over
them until the arrival of deputy
sheriffs. Knapton formerly was a
stage driver, and is known as one of
the ''gamest" men in the southwest.

CHAPTER XVIII

From one of the luxuriously furnished
chambers Of her fathers elegant mansion
Jenny Lincoln looked mournfully out up
on the thick, angry clouds which, the live
long day, had obscured the winter sky.
Dreamily for a while she listened to the
patter of the rain as it fell upon the de-
serted pavement below, and then, with a
long, deep sigh, she turned away and
wept. Poor JENNY the day was rainy
and dark and dreary, but darker far were
the shadows stealing over her pathway.
Turn which way she would there was not
one ray of sunshine which even her buoy.
ant spirits could gather from the sur
rounding gloom. Her only sister was
slowly but surely dying, and when Jenny
thought of this she felt that if Rose could
only live she'd try and bear the rest; try
to forget how much she loved William
Bender, who that morning had honorably
and manfully asked her of her parents,
and been spurned with contempt-not by
her father, for could he have followed
the dictates of his better judgment he
would willingly have given his daughter
to the care Of one who he knew would
carefully shield her from the storms of
life. 1t was not he, but the cold, proud
mother, who so haughtily refused VII.

Her Briliinnt Inspiration.

Tbat the proverbial absentmlnded
orofessor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by a story told
of Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he

club lust as he and madam were re-
tnrning from an evening call.
-aBut." said the lady, 81 must have
the front door locked before retire"
This emergency staggered the pro-
sessor. and as be looked bewildered at
his wife the lady, seized with an IN
spiration, continued: .. i.
.T1l go In and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window
This programme was carried out, and
when he reached the club the professor
related the incident to friend as evil
dence of his wife's unusual sagacity.
The friend greeted the story with a
roar of laughter.
"And why, my dear professor" he
said, "did you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come away"
'srrue," calculated the learned man
of science; 1--WE never thought of that"

Drowning OF a Priest.

Rev. Father Twomey, formerly OF
Carson, but of late pastor of the Catho-
lie church at Smartsville, Yuba county.
was drowned while attempting to ford
Dry creek last Saturday morning. 1t
was necessary to cross Dry Creek
where there was no bridge, and in at
tempting to ford the little stream.
which was flowing bank full, the bug
gy was capsized. The clergyman was
carried to his death under the cap
sized vehicle. After few minutes the
rushing waters moved the buggy in
such manner as to permit the i'm
prisoned body to escape and it was car
ried two miles down the stream before
it was recovered, having been in the
water more than thirty hours.
