when He would suner.

On wet night recently there was
a jam of passengers on south-going
tramcar. A number were standing
on the rear platform, among them
one whose dogs collar and soft felt
hat proclaimed him parson. An
Irishman with short clay pipe
climbed on, and he was hardly on
board when the clergyman said:
There must be no smoking here"
"Sure, the wind is blowing it back
as fast as I'm making it," said the
Irishman, San it's dishturbin' no

no smoking here. You must go up

he took the first step towards climb

below, an it'll s;be more fire than:
smoke that'n bother you then!" And

A FAITHFUL MATE.
An Instance of Canine Devotion Worthy
of Emulation In the Highest
Order OF Life.

In an old deserted cabin. by the sea
in Nome there lives an old blind Alas.
kan dog and his little mate. Only last
year, says the Seattle Times, he trod
the wary trail down from Dawson,
but the load he drew was just trifle
too heavy, and soon afterward dark
ness. fell upon him.
He had been a peculiarly faithful
beast of burden, and the city council
of Nome passed an ordinance taking
him under it's protection, but the lit
tie mate, with fine instinct for leg
islative delays, formed a ways and
means committee of one, and put her
own plan into immediate execution.
She it-was who found a warm nest
in the deserted cabin by the sea.
There is shelter, and there also is
food, for when the waters are an
CRY plenty of tomcod are laid at their
very door. But on sunlit mornings,
with the tip of the blind dogs ear
held gently between her teeth, his
mate leads him round to a little nook
in Front street, in the center of &C
tivity, gives little bark when just
the right spot is reached, and he lies
contentedly down.
While he rests there in the sun
she goes on her mission of love.
First to the Butte restaurant, where
she stands patiently just outside the
door. They seem never to forget
her, and with one little sharp cry of
thanks, she hurries back to the old
h. +
his feet.
A similar visit is made to each of
the other restaurants in turn. If one
is a trifle slow in responding she tries
another, and the fruits of every pill
grimage are laid on the same altar.
Occasionally some ill-bred Mahle-
mute attempts to steal morsel from
her store, but he seldom repeats the
offense, for the rebuke he receives
is both swift and vigorous.
When the shadows grow long and
the sun is lost behind the hills, the
old blind dog is gently led to the hut
by the sea, and the little mate lies

Devotion is fine thing in beast as

asked.

"Yes; sounds like heavy breath
ing"
"More like steam escaping some
where" replied the other, who
seemed to hear the sound as-wen as
his companion.
The chief advanced to the door
that communicated with the last
room.
''It is here that we shall find some
thing, 1 think. Why, the deuce! 1t
seems to be locked on the inside" as
he tried the knob. Then, with a
push of his huge shoulders, he broke
the door in, and kicking aside the
shattered wood, they stood within
the room. 1t seemed to be vacant,
too. The chairs about table in
the center, the butt of cigarette
and glass showed that it must have
been recently occupied.
eff I only had a decent light"
grumbled Barnes, for his lantern was
so faint that it only illuminated a
small space of the room at time.
There is that queer rushing sound
again, like escaping steam," muttered
Inspector Thorne.
Barnes, peering about with his lam
tern, suddenly uttered an exclama-
ton, and then, STOPPING, lifted up
some heavy body from the floor. AS
the inspector stepped forward to help
him he saw that it was a man and in
sensible. He it was who produced
the strange sounds they had heard.
They lifted him into a sitting po-
sition on one of the chairs. His eyes
were closed, but his heavy breathing
sounded loud in the silence of the
room.
The expression on his chiefs face
made Barnes ask this question: do
you know this man?"
"Know him." with harsh excla-
nation. "Well, rather. This is the
chap that brought us here-look at
him now" Then, with anger he
could not conceal, he began in a
more vigorous than kindly way to
attempt to shake Ellison into q con-
dition of consciousness.
''He needs something worse than
shaking" grumbled Barnes, "for
our man by this time must be miles
away!"

CHAPTER NIX.

THE MAN IN THE RED FOX.
At the hour designated by Ellison,
Inspector Barnes, the chief of police,
had posted his men in the streets
leading to the Red Fox, waiting for
the signal which would call his men
to the center of the scene of action.
1t was very seldom that the head
of the police department took hand
moved by curiosity, and, at the same
time, by the desire to figure promi-
nently in the capture of a rogue who
had defied the department for many
months. 1t would not look well in
the papers, when the accounts came
to be eventually written up, il the
chief did not occupy a prominent
place in the proceedings. Barnes,
moreover, felt a certain hatred for
the man who had put his department
in such disrepute, and he was anxious
to have first view of the man who
had been able to withstand all the
machinery of the law so long.
Ten o'clock had been the hour when
he expected to hear the pistol shot
that was to summon him and his
men to the scene, but as time passed,
and it was nearing the half hour
after the time, he began to grow
impatient.
what do you think of this, In
spector Thorne?" he asked of tall
man, who had secreted himself in a
hallway opposite the queer hotel.
Barnes was not the only important
official who had desired to have some
thing to do with the capture of the
celebrated criminal.
''Oh, I'm not worried" replied
Thorne. "Never know what delays
might happen in an affair like this.
L only hope your man wasn't guying
,, us with his story"
He did not love his chief particu-
larly, and would have liked to see
him ousted to give place to real
genius-himself, for example. If
the principals were excited, the men
detailed on this occasion were also
in somewhat of a furry. They did
not share the opinion held by Barnes
that the man who had defed the
machinery of the department so long
would be easy to capture, and looked
forward to a lively time of it.
Barnes and Inspector Thorne were
still occupying the hallway of a de-
serted warehouse, watching the
building that doomed up darkly be-
fore them, listening for the sound of
the pistol shot that was to be the
signal.
The hotel with the foreign name
was really two buildings. The bar
room facing on one street, through
which the sleeping rooms could be
reached in the rear by a narrow
passage. 80 -

bar-room was located, and, from the
sound, it was evidently doing a roar
ing trade.
"Here is the room where they are
to meet 'cording to them directions"
said Jebbs, pointing to the window
against which they leaned. "Too
soon yet, but that'l gin we chance
to place yerself where We can see
and hear everything"
Hendricks took tight hold of his
cudgel, and waited to hear more.
Eye see, this is the third room in
| the basement, and that is what them
fggers meant what I showed We on
the card" said Jebbs, in explana-
ton. "You couldn't make nuthin'
out of 'em, but it amt the fust time

"But to get in is another thing?'
said Hendricks, looking at the black
opening.
Jebbs gave a low laugh and
| nudged his companion in a way
meant to be playful, saying at the
same time:
"G'wani You will have yer little
joke with me. Sometimes I am a
wonderin' if you can be the same
celebrated party they tell me about"
Hendricks uttered a sigh, and then
said:
"Well, if we can get in, and you
have the tools, go to work. You see,
I didn't come equipped"
st suppose you mean by that you
amt fixed. I don't understand them
foreign words. Go to the end O. the
| alley and watch, and we'll have this
out in a jiffy," and Hendricks, with
out word, went down to the corner
| as directed.
It was not long before he heard a
warning whistle, and, coming for
ward, found Jebbs standing beside
| the open window.
eff you get in here and wait in
hidin', you'll hear and see the whole
business" he said, pointing to the
gap in the wall. "'Course you'll have
| to take yer chances then, but you're
| a masterful man, and will know how
| to get out of it if there's any trou-
| ble''
He held the window, which he had
managed to open, ajar, while Job
| scrambled through, and, with the help
| of the sill, lowered himself noise1ess-
| ly to the floor. He was in utter
darkness, and, as there seemed to be
no one in the place, he ventured to

place. He heard,in the meantime, that
the window through which he had en-
tered had been closed. He found him.

CONFESSION.
There is no Longer any Doubt Of
TaylOr'S Guilt.
BRADLEY AND POWERS PLANNED IT.
The Basest and Most Disgraceful Crime
in Many Years.

Harry Youtsey's confession as to
the assassination OF William Goebel is
in part as follows:
On January 27, after "Tallow
Dick" Combs and Mason Hooker
smith, negroes, notified Youtsey that
they were not vii ing to do the
shooting, Acting Governor Taylor
dictated a letter to James Howard
containing instructions for Howard
to come to Frankfort at once-that
his pardon for the killing of George
Baker awaited him. Youtsey wrote
the letter for Taylor
Howard arrived on the morning Of
January 30 Youtsey rold Howard
that it had been decided that the
only way to win the contest for the
governorship was to kill Goebel, and
that if he would do the killing Taylor
would not only pardon him for the
murder Of Baker, but also for the
murder of Goebel, and would give
him 81, 600 besides.
YoutSey explained the plan to
Howard, to shoot Goebe from the
secretary of states office, and Howard
agreed He reported the plan to
Taylor in the executive office.
"Tell Howard to go ahead, F." said
Taylor.
Youtsey said that the plan to kill
Goebel had been perfected on the
night Of January 20, at meeting in
the Office Of the register of the land
office, at which w. S. Taylor, Caleb
Powers, John L. Powers, W. H. Cul-
ton, Wharton Golden, W. j. David
son and himself were present, and one
other whose name he gave Bradley
and Powers had given the name OF
Howard to Taylor.

Yes, the nation and the flag with
which the name OF Jefferson Davis is
linked for all time live now only in
song and story. Yet the whole
country is richer and better that that
flag once waved, that that nation
once calamity struggled for recogni-
tion and civil life. To the Southern
people it is especially true. The
confederacy gave her a new aud
glorious history, which like pure
wine will grow in richness Of flavor
with the years; gave her material for
new literature aud romance, crowned
her with the wreath of unselfish
patriotism, imbued her with new
moral strength, teaching her to
endure trials aud suffering in obedi-
ence to a high sense of duty and of
right, bequeathed to her the rich
legacy of great deeds in the lives Of
noble men and women. This is an
inheritance that fadeth not away, one
that the South can proudly transmit
to her children and to which they can
as proudly point as illustrating types
of Southern manhood and woman
hood, and Southero civilization in the
days when knighlhood was In its
flower in the Confederate States,-a
