tions. No one was struck by the fly ing bullets, however. The nonunion men were charged by the police in the yards. Fighting hand to hand with the bluecoats, three wagon loads of prisoners were hustled to the stock yards police station.
 With the district in an uproar and crowd of thousands charging the yard gates and demanding vengeance on the nonunion men, the police began the search of every one in the yards for concealed weapons. In one trip of the patrol wagon to the police station eight negroes were taken as prisoners, and on these eight men fourteen revolvers were found.
 Five bread wagons of the Heissler & Junge Baking company were twice attacked by angry crowds of strikers. The drivers were attempting to take the wagons into the stockyarls to de liver bread. The vehicles were dam aged, but the drivers escaped injury in both attacks by whipping their teams into a gallop. Police were sum- moned by a riot call both times. A detachment in patrol wagons twice att tempted to escort the bread wagons into the stockyards, but failed each time.
 Chicago's great industry is practical ly at a standstill, and the general strike at the stockyards is an ac- complished fact. Added to the num- Der previously on strike, the total number idle in 'Packingtown" Is close to 3o,o0o.
 Rumors of renewed afforts to settle the difficulty by arbitration were thick, but upon investigation they were all found to be without foundation When questioned regarding the situation Nil chael J. Donnelly, president of the Butchers union, the organization which precipitated the original strike, said:

STANLEY AS A LEADER.
A Tribute to the Dead Explorer From
One Who Served With Him.

| l do not intend to eUlogize my old
chief, for euIogies are seldom convinc-
ing, writes A. Mountney Jephson, in
! Scribner's. he had many faults, and
some of them even were grave ones !;
but they we're, think, chiefly the
faults of his qualities, and without
those faults he would not probably
have been possessed of some of the
great qualities which made him so sue
cessful in almost everything that he
undertook. His faults were never of
mean or petty kind, and were easily
forgiven when one saw the true great
ness and nobility of his nature beyond.
That Untiring energy and indomitab1e
resolve to overcome all difficulties;
that apparently ruthless determine
tion to sweep away all opposition;
his seeming hardness and callousness
in working to achieve what he had I'M
dertaken, if he felt that the end was
a good one; the curiosity hard and I'm
failure of any kind, no matter how
blameless the failure might be; all
these and many others are not quail
ties that are usually found in gentle
and amiable natures, and they do not
as rule attract sympathy and af-
lection. Burt they saved the whole
expedition from humiliation many a
time, they dragged us out of difficult
ties which would have overcome an
ordinary man, they drew us through
places where there seemed to be only
death before us and they gained for
him the absolute trust and confidence
of all those who followed him.
In the early part of the expedition
we, Stanley's four officers, Captain
Stairs, Captain Nelson, DR.. Parke and
myself, did not entirely understand
his character, and at first the things
that he did seemed to us sometimes
to be hard and unnecessary. But
as the months went by our estimate
Of his character changed, for we saw
how absolutely right and necessary
oil UudI IO 1du uOuC udu OOCu, cthO
we realized that sometimes it was
very necessary to do hard things for
the safety and preservation of an ex-
petition like ours.
Stanley has often been accused of
cruelty, but can only say that during
the three years we four officers we're
with him in Africa we never once saw
him do a cruel or wanton thing or any
thing of which our consciences disap-
proved.

CHAPTER xxi.

Jack called hansom-of course ne
could have walked, but he had no idea
OF economy or the value of money
and was driven to Park Lane.
Half a dozen times on the way he
felt inclined to stop the cab, jump out
and go to the club-anywhere but Lady
Bells; but nevertheless, he found him
self in Park Lane, and ascending the
staircase. He saw at once, by few
unmistakatle signs, that the party was
small and select one, and further
more, judging by the tasteful magnltl-
cence of the appointments, that Lady
Bells wealth had not been very much
exaggerated.
He made his way slowly, for a dance
was just over, and the stairs were
lined, as usual, with people mostly
whom he knew, and had to stop to
speak to- Amongst them were Sir
Arkroyd Hetley. and Dalrymple, of
course together.
''Hullo, here's the Savage!" cried
Hetley. "How do you do, Jack?
You've soon got on the war trail, old
fellow" he added in low voice and
with a significant smile.
Jack growled something and made
his way into the room.
For a moment he could see nothing
Of Lady Bell, then as she came out or
the fernery and advanced toward him
her dark eyes flashing, or rather
cleaning softly, with faint, delicious
color mantling or her cheeks, he felt
almost the same shock of surprise
which had fallen on Una.
He had scarcely noticed her the
other night, had scarcely, indeed, seen
her, and he now saw, as it were for
the first time, her beauty, set off and
heightened by the aid of one of
Worth's happiest dresses, and En-
anuels diamonds. In spite of him
self he was dazzled, and his frank eyes
showed that he was.
And Lady Bell? Well, though his
face had scarcely left her minds eye
since she had seen it, she was not dis
appointed.
Notwithstanding the rather bored
and surly-not to say ferocious express
sion which set upon it-she thought
him handsomer than even she had re-
membered him.
"This is very kind of you, Mr.. New
comte,'' she said speaking first for
Jack had contented himself with bow
ing over her hand.
"Kind?" said Jack, in his straight

"Then it was kind" said Lady Bell,
recovering her courage and smiling at
him with that wonderful smile which
Hetley and all the rest of them talked
so much about.
Jack looked at her. Yes, certainly
she was very beautiful, and there was
a subtle something in that smile.
His ill-temper began to disappear.

A LUSUS NATURE.

a lady, living on Elkhorn, is the
possessor of a remarkably astute
hen. This hen conceived the idea
of visiting the city. Going TO the
family buggy just before it was
hitched up fer town, the hen got
in it and concealed herself under
the seat. During the five mile trip
she never made sound or scratch
TO show her presence. The buggy
was hitched to the post in front
OF our office and the occupants went
elsewhere on business. The hen,
il the meantime, having deposited
an egg in the buggy. Returning,
one of them was placing a bundle
in the back of the buggy, when the
hen escaped in front, leaping to the
street and strutted around as IL she
demanded and enjoyed the freedom
Of the city. A number of bystand-
ers gathered, including ourseif, to
attempt her recapture. AS the cir
Gle closed in, the hen flew upon
the back of Rastus, the buggy
horse, and standing erect, seemed
to say, "TOuch me If you dare. :"
But she was bived and returned to
her county home.
A member of the family tells it
that few days ago, on going out
on the back porch of the home, this
same hen was discovered standing
on the limb of a small cherry tree
i'm the yard and as the limb bent
down under her weight, the hens
and chickens on the ground below
were jumping up and picking the
cherries from the limb so conven-
iently placed.
These are facts, verified by rer-
utable witnesses, and partly under
our own eyesight, and the hen is
not for sale though we would buy
her willingly, rattle her off and in
vest the proceeds in circus tickets.
