A WONDERFUL RoBE.-Edgar s.
Bronson and N. A. Nichols, publishers
of the Thomas, o. T., Tribune, have a
wonderful piece Of Indian workman
ship, a dancing robe," valued at $5,-
900.
They had to put up their newspaper
plant as a guaranty for its safe return
to Old Crow, an Indian cheftain,
whose daughters made the robe. The
robe Is valuable because Of the 728
elk's teeth with which it Is adorned In
front and behind. These teeth are said
to be worth IS apiece, as all are large
and fine specimens. They are secure
ly fastened to the robe with slender
buckskin thongs. The robe Is made OF
dark blue military cloth with bright
colored strips and beads where the
pieces are Joined.
The teeth attached to this robe were
collected in the Old Crow and Howling
Crane families, and are trophies Of the
chase extending back 200 years. AS
each elk has but two large teeth, the
Indian maidens' robe represents 364
slain monarchs Of the forest. Dora,
aged eighteen, and "Pipesquaw," tWen-
ty-one, made the garment, which IS
worn only at some notable ceremony
among the Indians.
When one Of Old Crows daughters
wants to put all the bellies Of the neigh
borhood in the shade, she proudly dons
the dancing robe with the conviction
that nothing in the territory can ap-
proach it in magnifcance.

But as minute after minute passed

at the other end, and then one Of the
men approached Ned to pinion his
arms.
These ominous preparations seemed
to suddenly quicken the love of life
within him. and then, like an insplra-
ton, came a sudden thought to his
mind.
"You would not hang an innocent
man. would you? he asked, with ring
Of hope in his voice.
NO" several voices promptly an
bwered.
"Well. then," continued Ned, wait
until Tom Mcintosh returns from Fair
play, and If he does not identify me as
Ned Standish then I'll submit without
another word to be hanged"
1t was a reasonable proposition and
so seemed to the men about him, and
there was an evident disposition to
comply with his request when the same
fellow who had spoken before shouted
out: whats the use Of foolin' any lon
ger with this fellow? We all know he's
Jim White. we all know what we've
suffered from him and his gang, an It's
Jest scheme to delay things until the
gang can git together and rescue him."
That settled Ned's fate, and he was
told to prepare for the end.
This decision seemed so unjust, 80
cruel, so Infamous. that it aroused a
great anger within him. and he broke
forth in bitter denunciation Of them.
They were cruel. cold blooded murder

and vehemence. Stung beyond endur-

MONAZITE MINING.
The Industry In This State Likely to be
More Profitable.

The Industry In This State Likely to be
More Profitable.
In his report to the United States
geological survey on the production of
monazite in 1902, now in press, DR..
Joseph Hyde Pratt says that the Bra
lillian government has granted to
German, for a period Of ten years, the
exclusive right to develop the mona
zite sand deposits along the coasts OF
Brazil, and this, he thinks, will tend
to increase the interest in the mona
zite deposits Of North Carolina and
South Carolina. The consul general
at Frankfort has informed the depart
ment of state that company has
been formed in Berlin to acquire con-
troll of this privilege. During 1902
number of inquiries were received
from German importers for informa-
ton regarding the occurrence of Car
olina monazite. Satisfactory replies
were made in all cases. except with re-
gard to the price Of monazite sand.
This is held at a higher figure deliv-
cred in Germany that the Brazilian
monazite, but with the latter deposits
controlled by one company, the price OF
the sand will probably be much in
creased, and a considerable demand for
the Carolina sand for export to Ger
many is likely to arise.
The production Of monazite in the
United States is confined exclusively
to North and South Carolina, by far
the larger amount being obtained
from the former state, and in 1902
this amounted to $4,000 pounds, valued
at S69,580. This is ar increase of $1O,-
S1S in value and Of 244,264 pounds
in quantity over the production of 1901,
which was 74S,I36 pounds, valued at
S59,262. The price received by the
miners per pound Of the monazite pro-
duced in 1902 varied from p to Sd
cents, according to the percentage of
thorite. The nearer the sand Is
brought to a pure monazite, the high
er its relative value, and this is ac-
complished by closer concentration and
lHt use VI lIS III SSH
arating the higher minerals.
Only 100 pounds of monazite sand
and thorite were imported into the
United States during 1902. There is
no record Of any export of monazite,
though in 1903 there will probably be
a considerable export of this mineral
to Germany.

of his unhappy lot since coming to this
country. and there was more than one
who, looking into his frank, youthful
face, was for the first time disturbed
with grave doubts as to whether he
was Jim White after all. In the same
simple, quiet way he told the story of
the days incidents, and the deep, re-
spectful silence which followed told as
eloquently as the grave, sober faces
about him how deep was the impress

For several moments this silence con-

WHAT HAPPENED TO MAeELssEN
The Mystery of Beirut, Which May
Be No Mystery at All.

We observe in our exchanges a grad
ually intensifying desire to know ex-
actly what happened to Mr.. Magelssen,
our vice consul at Beirut. 1t is a
yearning with which we sympathize,
but cannot crafty. for thus far not
morsel of explicit information has
been vouchsafed from any quarter.
Our fleet was ordered to the Syrian
port on the strength Of a report by
Minister Leishman at Constantinople to
the effect that Mr.. Magelssen had been
assassinated. Admiral Cotton reached
Beirut some days later, only to find
that Magelssen was alive and well. It
has transpired, moreover, that, up to
the time the assassination roorback
was sent by Minister Leishman, there
had been no hostile demonstrations by
the Mohammedan populace Of the city
or it's immediate neighborhood. There
that Is Ineligible enough. We all
know what would occur In any Of our
seaport towns were foreign govern
ment to send clustering fleet there on
a false report and without stopping to
ask for explanations.
But what perplexes our esteemed
contemporaries Is the fact that after
all this time, not a single ray Of light
has been shed upon the mystery. 1t
seems that Magelssen Is in his usual
health. There is nothing to show that
he was even attacked with murderous
intent on the occasion mentioned or on
any other occasion, and the only out
bursts of popular irritation Of which
we have authentic information occur
red after the arrival of our fleet at
Beirut. We have before us the spec
tacle of a hostile American demonstra-
tion at the seaport Of nation with
which we profess to be on amicable
terms, yet no one seems to know why
that demonstration was made-still less
why it is persisted in. OF course, we
need not say that the United States
would resent with all its might and
fury such treatment at the hands Of
any foreign power. OF course, there
fore, we are violating the golden rule,
and doing to others what we should
not for a moment permit them to do
to us. The mystery remains, however
More than that, it grows denser with
each succeeding day. We share the
curiosity of our esteemed contempora-
rles. Likewise, we partake freely Of
their discomfort.
There is just one conceivable expla-
nation. The old story Of the diploma
tic fuss and feathers. the tiptoe into
dark corners, the finger on the lip, the
solemn farce of secrecy. Tremendous
things are happening, but 'sh-h! it will
never do to talk about them. And yet
there was no hesitation, no statecraft,
no deep, dark, willy reticence when IT
came to giving out the news" of the
assassination, or making public the
prompt and vigorous action Of the gov
ernment in ordering the fleet to the
scene Of the tragedy in buckram. Can
it be possible that our government is
garrulous for effect upon the public
mind, and that it becomes majestically
reserved only when there are blunders
to conceal?
At all events, we are unable to an
swer the interrogatory. What hap
to Magelssen?" If asked for con-
lecture, we should say, Nothing at
ALL" But that would be only guess

I'M lea from England when a
5 young fellow twenty years OF
go age. Robbed Of nearly all
his money in Chicago, he drifted to
Fairplay, Colo, expecting to find there
an old acquaintance, but he had left
the place some time before. Finally,
after suffering many hardships. he fell
in with an old mining prospector, Tom
Mcintosh by name, and accompanied
him to his cabin, about twenty miles
from Fairplay, and there helped him
to work two or three claims which ne
was developing. Tom was huge, un-
couth fellow, with rough exterior,
but with a heart as kind and true as
ever pulsed in mortal breast. He took
a great fancy to Ned, and between the
two there soon sprang up a most de-
voted friendship.
About two miles from their cabin
was a large English mining camp
which through lavish expenditure Of
money in improvements had attracted
to it a number of rough characters, the
very worst of whom, as Tom told Ned.

tive on this side, have ye" he laugh
ingly asked Ned one night and when
the latter replied in the negative the
other continued after moments close
scrutiny Of the younger mans face,
"He do look astonishingly like ye."
Ned announced his intention Of going
over to the camp and seeing his dou-
BILE, but the close Of each days work
found him so tired that he had little
disposition to make the journey. About
this time Tom went to Fairplay one
afternoon for the purpose Of display
ing some ore which they had recently
uncovered. as well as getting some pro-
visions Of which they stood in need.
He asked Ned to accompany him, but
the latter decided to remain behind
and do some trout fishing, Of which he
was very fond.
1t was about 1 o'clock the next after
noon while returning to the cabin with
a basket Of fish that he came face to
face with a man whom he knew to be
his double. From his rapid breathing

Ned's fishing rod and basket, howev-

sharp, nervous, half gasping voice:
who are you, and where'd you come
from?"
Briefly Ned replied. and. as he fin

enough like me to be my twin brother"
and then in response to an evidently
happy suggestion he added, apparently

"Come; shed those clothes. quick! I

and proceeded at once to remove his
clothes.
