knew he stood ~ himseH from that
instant.
He spurred his horse toward Sticky

cabin and across the open space like
a stroke of light. intercepting the

seized the horses bits and ierked it

asked with whimsical significance:

find all Clary's Grove helping a

A sympathetic and sheepish grin

THE END.
An Amu.tnx Inc1dent.

An incident during the royal visit to
Edinburgh, which was the cause of d
good deal of amusement at the time,
occurred on the occasion of the con-
ferring of the accolade by the king on
one of the newly made knights. The
worthy citizen, when placing himself
upon his knees in order to receive the
all-important tap on the shoulder from
the royal sword, knelt down in the
furry of the moment at such distance
from the kings chair that he was quite
out of reach. A sign was made to him
by some one in attendance to approach
nearer, whereupon the good man, with
out rising to his feet, shuffled along
on his knees until he got within the
required distance. His majesty ex-
pressed his interest by genial smile.
while his gracious consort held up to
herface an enormous bouquet--Modern

the man whose part he had taken. The
crowd that had come down New Salem
street seeking Lincoln went back drtv-
ing Pedro Lorimer.
Horrified as New Salem people were
by threatened violence, they were un-
able to refrain from cheering. They
crowded to the chest Of drawers, where.
left stranded as by stormy tide, sat
Peggy and Antywine. He held the hat
and snakeskin which Sticky Green
thrust into his keeping before following
the ebb. The pair clung together,
hearkening to no voices but their own,
peril of man, might have felicitated
and comforted each other. The air
was fresh like the breath of the sea
after hot land breeze has gone by.
Mounted all three upon the horse
from which Lincoln had flung Peggy to
Antywine, Lincoln and Yates, and
Sticky filling it's back from name to
tail, made the best haste they could to
the Sangamon. They stood at the top
of the terraced bank while Pedro Lori
mer was rolled down in barrel.
Three times, tradition has it, the
unhappy wretch took his plunge, and
came hobbing up like a buoy. Then
Lincoln and Yates, and the cooling
effect of the water on those who had
him to pull out, succeeded in moderat-
ing popular rage against him. He was
turned loose, and his horse whipped
in the direction of Springfield. with
emphatic assurance that the barrel
would be kept for him, and if he ever
came back would be put to its final use
as his floating coffin.
Don Pedro Lorimer was never seen
again in that country. When Peggy
and Antywine were married, and keep
ing house in their own cabin, she used
sometimes to part her white curtains
at night, and look out fearfully for
dreaded face. But happiness and Sc
curity become habit, and she loved
after awhile to tell her own story.
Years later the two who had steered
her destiny--Abraham Lincoln and Rich
ard Yates-begant to steer the destinies
of a nation and state, and the Span
lard of New Salem grew to experience
the grateful awe of person who has
been visited unawares by strong
angels.

According to the Girls Story Her r
Is Somewhere in Texas, From
Where She Was Kidnapped

Salem, s. d. Sept. 3.-The-sad case
Of a young girl appearing in male attire
has Just been brought to light at
Mitchell. she gives her name as May
Cronse. and states she is the wife OF
John cronse. she is a range in the
city, having been there but a
month. She was working in a sand pit
near the city when her identity was
made known. The city officials now
have her In charge. and the story h
tells is a pitiful one. A year ms a
half ago she was on the street near
her parents home at San Antonio. Tex,
when a stranger, Cronse, accosted her
and demanded that she accompany
him. Not being OF a strong mind, and
but 10 years old, she did his bidding
and for two days they Travelled into the
Indian Territory, reaching Wewoka,
where they were married. From there
they went to Kansas City, where the
husband tried to make her lead a life
OF shame, but she demonstrated. me
husband hen cut her hair snort
dressed her in mems clothing n COM
PEELED her TO do manual labor. she
had no thought OF refusing TO do any
work her husband told to do. They
had been going from place 20 place
and struck Mitchell about a month ago,
since which time they have been doing
odd jobs around town, sleeping In hay
stacks or any place they could find.
About a week ago the girl went TO
work I'm the sand pit. where heg/sex
became known. As soon as discovered,
she says her husband left the city.
States Attorney Hitchcock has taken
hold OF the matter and is in corre-
spondence with the girls parents at
san Antonio, and also With the clerk
of courts at Wewoka TO ascertain some-
thing relating to her parentage or mar
riage. Several women of Mitchell are
interested In the young girl and have
provided clothing suitable 10 her and
otherwise will care for her,

his force between Lao Yang and the
north, a movement which, if success
full, would cut Kuropatkin's rear and
command the railroad leading from
Lao Yang to Mukden.
The withdrawal of the Russian right
and center probably will involve a SIM
liar movement by the troops holding
the extreme left of the line, and result
in the concentration of Kuropatkin's
army in the position he has established
i'm Lao Yang. This is said to be SUI
perbly fortified with rifle pits, entrench-
ments and barbed wire entanglements.
General Stakelberg, who is among
the wounded. still retains command of
his army corps, and did not leave the
field. General Marozovsky, who was
secerely wounded, commanded an ar
tillery brigade.
There has been no interruption of tel
egraphic communication with Lao
Yang up to this hour, which the gen
eral staff considers to be, conclusive
evidence that if the Japanese thanking
movement was pressed north of Lao
Yang today 1t was unsuccessful. The
receipt of press and private dispatches
has been delayed, the chief telegraph
office at Lao Yang having been moved
northward.
General Sakharoff in a dispatch to
the general staff, dated today, on yes
terday's fighting says:
"A portion Of Kuroki's force has
crossed the Taitse river at Sakankank-
wan. A division of infantry, with cav
airy inc artillery, crossed first and
covered the advance of another detach-
ment. After fording the river the Jap
anese advanced towards Lilac Yang
in two bodies, one due west and the
other by way of the Yontai mines"

The excursion train was running as
the first section of the regular Grand

usually crosses the Island Pond train
at Richmond. and was running ON its
time.
This makes 1t all the more mex
plicable why Conductor Atkinson, In

wait TO make the usual crossing. At

performed a similar act of political cour-
tesy. Anyway the Bryanites and the
Hearstites have not tumbled over one an
other in democratic national headquarters
and Mr.. Belmont thought IL was time that
something should be done to bring about
harmony. He hit upon the happy idea Of
giving Mr.. Walsh this place at ~headquar-

tiers last night he was convinced that now
the Bryan forces and the Hearst forces

force to the right bank of the Taitse
river, and II therefore became neces-
sary for the Russians to be in a posi-
tion to repel a blow in this direction.
I'm view of this development in the
operations, General Kuropatkin decided
to abandon his positions on the left
bank and TO concentrate his whole
army on the other side OF the river.
This position is the strongest. both IN
character and in significance. The

PUTS RussIA's ARMY AT 2o5.ooo
The German Army Organs Estimate of
the Troops in Manchuria.

Berlin, Sept. 3.-The Militair Woch-
enblatt, the German army organ, esti-
mates today the nominal strength Of
the Russian Manchurian army at 205,-
900 men, without any deductions for
killed, wounded or sick. The military
critic of the Berlin GreuZ Zeitung,
commenting on this, say the effective
strength must be much less, and, judg-
ing from former experience, perhaps
so per cent. The writer assumes that
the japanese losses have been fully
compensated for by fresh arrivals from
Japan, and forecasts the Russian pros
poets in the present battle in a pessi-
mistic tone, showing hat defeat must
lead to a great disaster. Retreat is
practically Impossible upon the single
highway leading to Mukden. But, he
adds, even the decision to retreat no
longer depends upon General Kuropat-
kin alone.

TOXIC REJoicEs.
City Is Illuminated and Populace Surge
the Streets.

Toxic, Sept. 3.-Tokio rings with
shouts and cheers for the victory at
Lao Yang. Lantern bearing crowds
swing through the streets n surge
around the staff offices, shouting Ban
zai."
The details OF yesterdays fighting are
scanty. 1t is only known that at dawn
General Oku's army was hurled against
the Russian right center on the south
ern line, and that the Russians were
forced 10 abandon their line anu posi-
lions and retreat.
Pursuit is now in progress. The re-
suit of this pursuit and the result of
the fierce battle waged on the eastern
line, where General Kuroki is assailing
the force which has long screened Lao
Yang, together with the abandonment
of the Russian right center on the
southern line, exposes the Russian left.
But here the Russian force is so heavy
that 1T may possibly be able to protect
and extricate itself.
The question of the occupation of
LAO Yang by japanese is In doubt. The
official dispatches do not make men
ton of such occupation. But 1t is as
sumed that the Russians are with
drawing their forces through Lao
Yang and that the Japanese possibly
occupied it late yesterday.
Last night 40 estimates were obtain
able or the losses on either side.
Field Marshal Oyama describes his
losses in the morning. assault as heavy.
The success of the attack was unex-
pected on account of the strength of
the Russians n the nature of the
Russian defense.
1t is confidently believed that Field
Marshal Oyama will press the pursuit
with vigor and infiict on Kuropatkin
the most crushing blow possible. 1t is
believed his trophies will prove valu-
able. 1t is the opinion here that the
Russians were not able to carry many
guns with them, and they were forced
to abandon or destroy vast quantities
OF stores.
