Was Derringer right in believing that he had seen Sibyl recently? Was she among the guests of Mrs. Witherspoon? It concerned me much to know.

 lit fresh cigar and sat down by that window which gave the best view down the orchard. The slender cres- cent of the moon looked bright against the darkness of the sky, but could not light the earth. I pictured the girl looking out upon it from the veranda of the apple tree lodge, and upon the lake and the rough hill, both as God made them. She might we'll imagine herself in the primeyal wilderness. It was pleasant to think of her there, glorifying the scene with her own sweet fancies. And yet 1t must be very lonesome and not altogether safe.
 I did not then know that the Wither- spoon estate was patrolled by night, so that faint cry from the orchard would have brought swift rescue. It came into my mind that would per- LOTA luhC uuly ds FOluuJ60T, dnu under the influence of this idea went out to the road again, for an invader of the orchard would probably be no worse than homeless wayfarer seek ing shelter.

 Then we began to speak of the warmth and sweetness of the night, the excellence of Mrs. Witherspoon's cui- sine, the advantages of the country in hot weather-many things, indeed-but not the girl.
 We walked slowly down toward the break of the hill, and having reached it

What One Boy Knew.

MT. Coward, the amiable British giant of the Mosely education commission. had this to tell of his experiences to a party of friends he was entertaining at the Park Avenue hotel New York city:
 II was addressing about 2,O00 chill dren in assembly down on the east side, and, touching on history, I said: Landmarks are very good guide to history. We have many such in Eng land. For instance, the cathedrals and castles, nearly all of which remind us of some epoch in history. Then we have Nelson's old flagship, the Victory, which recalls the battle of Trafalgar. Now, what ship have you to remind you of some past event in history?'

to Trask and Derringer, while no more than an object of romantic speculation and natural curiosity to Scovel; that the lawyer did not even attempt to guess who she was, though the other two men had settled convictions upon the subject.
 Moreover, I would have made oath that Trask and Derringer were not in each others confidence, and that tn eir views about the girl were utterly at variance. It would be impossible for me to state the grounds of this belief or to quote word spoken by either of them in support of this theory. The thing was in the air. held it for cer- tain that one of these men was delud- ing himself with a romantic notion that had no basis in fact. Indeed both might be mistaken.

positors who were half scared to death and who gladly welcomed me as ed itor and proprietor. The man who had accosted me on the street raised $1O0 in cash for me to go ahead on, and I f1atter myself that I got out four very fair numbers. The fourth, unfortu- nately for me, contained an item to the effect that Bloody Hill, rival town five miles away, was doing little more shooting than our own. This was looked upon as a bit of fragrant dis loyalty on my part, and got out of town while a committee was looking for me with noosed rope.
 My second and last editorial experi- ence occurred two months later. I was tramping in Nevada and eating roots much oftener than meat when headed for mining town called Carson Flats. I was within a mile of the town and sitting down to rest when along came about thirty men in a body. They were tough looking fellows, and the leader looked me over and asked:
 "'Say, young feller, why don't ye hang yerself?
 "'Because I've no rope answered.
 "sWhar ye goin'Y
 "sDown to the Flats
 "sWhat furp

 Something of one.'
 "The fellow consulted with three or four of the others, and I was asked to come along to the Flats in their com pany. We had hardly reached the town when we came to a stop before the Banner office and the leader and two of his crowd entered. In about two minutes they reappeared with the editor and proprietor, who had rope around his neck and was somewhat perturbed. There were cries of Hang himr from various individuals, but the boss waved his hand for silence and said
 All in reg'lar order boys, and no hurry about 1t. This yere individual Is the editor of the Banner. His paper seems to be all right fur this town of Carson Flats, whar they are ready to put ID with most anything in the lit erary line, but 1t con't satisfy Us as live 0Yer at Pine Hill. and Me are we're no

 Lonely bit of road this, isn't it?'' said the lawyer to me as we shook hands. 'I wonder if tramps ever come along this way. I got to thinking about 1t in my room"-
 "Yes," said Trask; i've all did.''
 And he added a trivial remark obvi ously intended to turn the conversation. It is a lawyers business, however, to hold fast to the essentials unless he be paid to do otherwise. @
 "It is strange" said Scovel at the first pause, "how mystery and romance walk hand in hand. Why are we here? :? Why do we speak with a certain re- straint, as if we were influenced by a superior presence? We do not know this young lady. Speaking for myself, I should not recognize her if I should meet her face to race, and nave nc present hope of ever doing so."
 Derringer smoked hard and Trask took off his hat and rubbed his rough
  Tt is the mystery" Scovel continued, waving his hand gently and gracefully toward the orchard. Our interest might vanish if we saw her. By the way, came very near doing so yester- day afternoon. I was out on the lake and she was sketching by the shore, so rowed in little way'-
 Instantly there was a strong chill in the air, and Scovel, who, to do him jus tice, was in some respects sensitive animal, detected 1t and stopped.
 'Well, I didn't exactly row in," he said after pause: "I let her drift"
 "A distinction without a difference" said Trask. An unwritten law cir cumscribes that orchard"
 "No man can be less inclined to in. trude than I am," protested Scovel. However, if without intrusion one might have glimpse oflher face"-
 He did not finish the sentence, but it had the effect of question. The silence of Derringer and Trask was as loud as any voice ever heard.
 "For instance" the lawyer persisted, i've are clearly within our rights here. Now to state hypothetical question: Suppose you, MT. Trask, were standing in this spot during the hours of day light and saw the young lady approach ing, would you not hold that the re- sponsibility of a meeting, if one should occur, would rest with herT
 "How natural it is,' said Trask, ad- dressing the moon, 'for a lawyer to break the law"
 "But I should be inclined to argue''- Scovel began.
 "Of course you would" interrupted Trask. "That is what you are on earth for.''
 Scovel laughed.
 twill the court please rule on the matter of Miss Scott" said he, "as to whether it would be within the statute for me to make her acquaintance|
 If she requests the pleasure of hay ing you presented" said the artist, ''the court will not interfere. But don't make any advances"
 Scovel sat down on the fence and ap- peared to consider these rulings. The conversation waned and died. We wandered silently back to the house

NIX AGAIN ABLE
 TO BE DOWN TOWN
DISABLED POLICEMAN CAME OUT TO ASSIST IN CATCHING THE SLAYER OF MULLIN-WAS sERI. oUsLY HURT CATCHING NEGRO

Policeman Joe Nix, who was so serious ly injured about two weeks ago while cap- turing negro on Tenth avenue and Thirty-first street, has so far recovered that he was able to be down town for short while yesterday afternoon. He was on crutches.
 The physicians who have been attending the policeman allowed him to get on crutches yesterday for the first time, but warned him not to bend his right knee, which was injured. As long as he keeps the knee perfectly straight the prospects are in favor of his not suffering any per- manent injury and that his knee will not stiffen.
 Besides Policeman Nix's knee cap be- ing broken by his fall into the ditch when he was after the negro, there was a deep cut about an inch and half long which was a serious wound itself. It extended to the bone and 1t was feared that 1t would result in a stiffening of the joint.
 It will be remembered that the police- man had the negro under arrest when the latter made a leak for liberty. The ne- gro knew of a deep ditch and jumped in to it- The policeman did not know of this ditch and fell in on top of the negro.
 It has just developed that there was a plot matched to kill Policeman Nix on that night, and it was stopped by the bravery of the two sons of Policeman Armstrong. It seems that the negro ar rested and his partner had it in for the policeman and got him down in that sec ton of the city to kill him. The Arm strong boys heard the second negro talk ing after the first had been arrested, ard they stopped him with a pistol prevent ing him from attacking the injured police man. f
 Policeman Nix came down town to See if\he could be of any assistance to the department in catching the negro who killed Policeman Mullin The two poice- men were great friends

The following testimonials from thank full men and women tell in direct, sincere language what their success has been in the use of Peruna in their families:
 Louis J. Scherrinsky, 103 Locust St., At lantic, Iowa, writes
 T will tell you briefly what Peruna has done for me l took a severe cold which gave me a hard cough. Al doctors medi- cines failed to cure it. I took one bottle of Peruna and was well.
 ''Then my two children had bad coughs accompanied by gagging My wife had stomach trouble for years. She took Pe- runa and now she is well.
 'I cannot express my thanks In words, but l recommend your remedy at every opportunity, for I can conscientiously say that there Is no medicine like Peruna. Nearly every one in this town knew about the sickness of myself and family, and they have seen with astonishment what Peruna has done for us. Many followed our example, and the result was health. Thanking you heartily, I am,"-L. J. Scherrnsky.
 Peruna protects the family against coughs, colds, .catarrh, bronchitis, ca tarrh of the stomach, liver and kidneys It Is just as sure to cure a case of eatarrh of the bowels as it Is case of catarrh of the head.

Later the burglar returned and had opened the blinds to one of the windows, when Pitts fired at him twice. The burglar cried out in pain as each shot was fired, and ran down the street and escaped. While 1t is certain he was shot. the bullets were too small to be fatal or to retard his escape very much. The entire neishborhood was searched for the burglar, but he was not found.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

If Puck has ever been guilty of manu- featuring such cheap class or fun as Is being circulated from the stage by "Pickings from Puck" 1t was not in the memory of the oldest readers.
 The paper may sometimes have jokes without points and pictures which are flashing with color and life but none of the former ever approached h noth- ingness the jokes sprung by "Pickings from Puck" at the Jefferson last night, and there was never as much colcred Ink used as some of the women in the play last night spread on their faces. Several very good looking women ruined their chances for usefulness in the chorus by falling to be good painters.
 Some fairly good music is interspersed through the piece, but none which will ever set the stage and theatre going pub lie wild.
 Mildred Flora, a maid of all work, a comedienne and dancer, was by far the cleverest of the women, but she overdid her stunts. She had a good voice for coon songs. George A. Martin carried off some honors as Sherlock Combs, the great detective. He caused much laugh ter. Willard Smms, as San Flanders, caused the remainder. At times the work of several members of the company bor- dered on vulsarity and this detracted much from the play.

 Possibly those who have watched the career of this charming little actress will exclaim "What! is Katie Emmett still playing Willie Rufus?' She certainly is and why not, when the public demand for seats to see her has never been great CT than this year. All going to demon- strate that a discriminating public Is ready to accord support to a star and play that has stood the test of time and de- monstrated their worth. This year Miss Emmett is said to have an exceptionally strong company in her support and one of the best performances yet seen of this well known play will be given. A bar gain day matinee will be given Friday.
