"The deputies?' Dolores repeated
slowly. The suftened color and gentle
expression disappeared from her face:
she drew her hands away from Dora's
cIingIng fingers; she pushed back the
hair that had slipped down en- her
forehead. Then the deputies had been
searching for her father. That was
what those men were there for that
morning when they stopped and asked
OF her where he was.
And if those men of the law came
for him when he was not there, when
every one knew that he was not there,
GSnd sought for him over on the oppo-
site mountain among its dangers,
would they net come at any time for
him to prove their case? Might they
not even insist upon taking him over
to the town in spite of his condition?
Unconsciously her fingers closed over
the flowers in her lap, crushing theE

wide and terrified. Young Green, re-
turning from up the mountain heard
Dora's last words and turned away
with face as pallid as Dolores
Dora arose quickly, and clasped her
hands around her cousins arm, raising
her sweet, penitent face to hers.

The words ended in violet fit of
coughing that racked the slender
Rframe pitifully. Raising her handker-
chief to her lips she sank upon the
step.
Young Green entered the house un-
noticed and spoke to Mrs. Allen. who
came out at once and sat down beside
Dora. placing her arm around her with
low, tender words of comfort.
Young Green came out with a cup
of water, and Mrs. Allen thanked him
with grateful glance, but as she took
it and placed it to Dora's lips she
glanced at Dolores. and her glance
was full of hate; while young Green
himself for the moment dared not

"Will she lie down and rest?" asked
Dolores. presently, still standing at a
distance from her, speaking as though
her lips were stiff.

New Use For Electricity.

The workmen in the great electric
power houses have use for electricity
to which the attention of physicians
might be called. This use was exem-
plified in a striking way the other night
in one of the uptown houses.
One of the workmen hobbled in on a
crutch. The foot that he did not walk
on was wrapped in a white towel.
Il got a needle in her." he explained.
He went over to one of the big dyna-
mos, sat down on the floor of concrete,
barred his wounded foot and then ex-
tended it to the current.
81 ran this needle in this morning."
he said, as he sat waiting. "It disap-
peared somewhere or other. 1 couldn't
find it; the doctor couldn't find it; l
thought I'd let the current see If it
could find it, the same as the other
fellows do when they get needles lost
inside 'em"
The man waited Five minutes, ten
minutes passed. Suddenly his foot
twitched and he gave n grunt of pain.
The lost needle, drawn forth by the
power of the current, protruded half
inch from his instep. lie readily drew
it out the rest of the way with his
ingers.-Philadelphi Record.

Messenger Boys' Queer Jobs.

"Jaggers's' famous trip to the United
States at the behest of Richard Hard
ing Davis is recalled by the mission Of
another London messenger boy, who
just has been sent off post haste to
carry bottle of medicine to Aix-les-
Bains. Probably the urchin wasn't
especially surprised by the novelty of
his errand, for he and his kind have
SO many quaint commissions that they
must by this time have grown accus-
toned to them.
1t was not so long ago that an Eng
lish banker sent messenger boy over
to Paris to pay a bill. Another "jag-
gers" as they are called now, was
hurried out to buy toys for foreign
potentate, while still another had to
send election results to a German
Cabinet Minister. The Duke of Sake
Coburg hired q messenger boy to field
his tennis balls. Other boys have taken
Indian noblemen to the theatres, and
helped ladies of title at fashionable
bazaars. When a boy gets call he
can meyer tell whether he is summoned
merely to take puppy out for walk,
or to embark for San Francisco. Oc-
casionally he has to wheel baby car
riage containing a much-protesting in
fant or go to railway junction to feed
Il, pet cat which is on journey and
see that 1t makes its proper "connec-
tion."
Boys have to act as guides to foreign
ers, take children to board-school,
ahaperon women and wait at tables.
There are cases on record where they
have had to nurse sick people, lead
the blind and even take charge of
lunatics. Correspondence New

OVERFED PETS.
Dogs aud Cats Spoiled by Appetite For
Unnatural Tidbits.


Possibly the dog world might afford
better specimen of living skeleton
than one in the kennel next to the
door of boarding place for animals,
but it would take days journey to
find him.
what, makes him so thin?" was
asked Of the attendant.
''He won't eat" was the reply. "That
is, he won't eat hospital food. He's
been spoiled. Lots Of dogs and cats
that are brought here have been
spoiled. Their owners think it sign
of high breeding to cultivate an appe-
tite for peculiar and ain unnatural
diet. They train animals to eat all
kinds of food that they would never
touch Of their own volition. This ema-
ciated fellow has been taught to like
fruit. He is particularly fond of pears,
but in case he can't get them, peaches,
apples and bananas are a fairly satls-
factory substitute. Unfortunately his
present alment makes a fruit diet ex-
tremely dangerous, and since he is de-
prived Of his favorite food, he is liter
ally starving himself to death.
The attendant passed on to a neigh
boring cage and poked his finger sport
lively into the side of large gray cat
that "meowed" plaintively in response
to his CHEEKY "Hello. there Caesar"
The cat had such healthy, wholesome
appearance that the visitor inquired
what meat he was fed upon. "Humph!"
said the attendant. you've missed it
there. He doesn't feed upon meat.
He's vegetarian. He likes onions bet
ter than anything else, unless it's mel
ons. A good many cats like melons,
and most Of them are also partial to
raw asparagus. The fact Is, yeu might
run through list Of all the dishes that
find place on an up-to-date menu and
you find that some of our patients have
acquired n taste for them. This epi-
curean appetite may denote aristo-
cratic tendencies on the part of my
boarders, but don't approve Of it.
Most Of these acquired tastes are a
perversion of natural animal appetite,
and it is likely to prove harmful in
the end. The trick Is pretty eXpen-
sive for us fellows that run cat-and-
dog boarding houses, and I'd like to
put a stop to it."

"Nobody looks on Utah rs a cotton

mon settlement in our State that has

a quarter of a century," said G. G.
Townes, of Salt Lake City. "The scene
of this industry is in the extreme SOUTH
western part Of Utah, and not only do
these Mormons produce the raw mate
rial, but they have for years been con-
verting it into thread and cloth. Their
factory is the quaintest thing in the

built at time when material was
scarce, and in its construction there is

An Eagle Drowned by It's Prey.

A colony Of American eagles has
made its home along the shores of
Chautauqua Lake for many years. A
story is told Of one Of these birds which
is verified by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dykeman, who reside On Bayfield,
farm, who witnessed the incident, that
Is truly remarkable.
The eagle was gracefully soaring
over the lake when it suddenly darted
with lightning rapidity toward the
water, catching In its talons a musk
allonge two feet or more in length and
weighing probably ten pounds. There
was clash and splashing of fins and
feathers, but slowly the bird rose in
the air with its captive dangling and
wriggling below. When at height of
about 1000 feet the bird, still clinging
to the fish, began to sink slowly toward
the lake again. gaining speed as it de-
scended, and finally fell with q splash
in the water. Later the bird and fish
We're found together dead.
The fish had evidently been too heavy
for the eagle to carry, but its claws
were so firmly imbedded in the flesh
that it could not release its hold. and
as its strength gave way it sank into
the water whence 1t had sought its
prey and was drowned.-Buffalo Cour-
Ter.

Coming down across the plain.

Laughing, sobbing, in breath,

Cause Of Mountain
Nzeadow Massacre

The cause of the famous Mountain
Meadow massacre. which has been
much discussed of late, was told re-
Gently by AIRS. Major Tom Lannigan
of Fort Smith, Ark she was drawn
into n discussion of the massacre
through a recently published article
and detailed what she declares was the
true cause of the awful tragedy. She
said:
prior to and at the time of the mas
sacre my husband was the sutler at
Fort Gibson. 1t was the custom OF
those days on the frontier to welcome
all strangers. One day there came TO
the fort a man named McLane. He
said that two years previously he was
living in California ana that he was
happily situated and had wife and
two bright children.
Zone day Mormon missionaries came
to town, and his wife suggested that
they go to hear them preach. lie did
not care to go, but told her that she
might. She went that night and the
next night and continued to go with
SuCH IGSu4dIAly bAAtlI 10 DEMONSTRATION
with her, but without ayai. She spent
most of her time in the company of
the Mormon elders. He finally forbade
her to go to any more meetings, and
that night when he returned home he
found his wife and two children miss
ing. He also discovered that the Nor
mons had disappeared.
'Then he became convinced that his
wife had been led astray by the Nor
mon faith and swore to be revenged.
He started tout to find his wife, and
for two years he had followed them
from place to place without being able
to catch up. He had learned that they
were moving in the direction of Fort
Gibson and were SO near that they
would most likely arrive the next day.
"McLane's prediction came true. The
next day a covered wagon containing
the Mormon, who proved TO be Farley
Pratt, and Mrs. McLane and the chill
dren drove into the fort and We're con-
fronted by McLane They placed
themselves under the protection of
Colonel Little, the commandant, who
after investigating the matter decided
that he was without Jurisdiction and
suggested that the parties at interest
go to Van Buren, and there have their
differences adjusted by a civil tribunal.
"They expressed themselves as will
