tailed.

The general court-martial OF Cap
tain George w. Kirkman, Twenty-fifth
United States infantry, began at Fort
Niobrara at / p. m. this afternoon.

for Captain Kirkman within month.
His first trial was for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman" and
specifications including a number of
scandalous practices covering a peri
cd of one or more years. This has
been suspended pending the arrival
OF certain testimony from the Philip
pines to confirm the theory of the de-
fense that the captain Is insane, the
suspension continuing to May 10. In
the meanwhile other matters have de-
veloped in the career of Captain Kirk
man that demand speedy trial, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the
captain, failing in an attempt at sui
eide had rendered his resignation
from the army.
The last charges against Captain
Kirkman reiterates that of conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman
and added thereto are the charges of
"scandalous conduct" and breach of
arrest" with a host of specifications
reciting the career of the dashing cap
tain during the last year or two, and
particularly bearing upon the suicide

DOES MUlLIN
IN THE EIGHTH

Kid Parker of Denver won from
Barney Mullin in the fight last
night by beating the Irishman down
by repeated blows on the kidneys.
The fight lasted eight rounds and
was fast and furious all the time.
Parker plainly showed he was by
far the more clever man and by
far the better ring general. From
the first to the last round the Kid
tried to make Mulhn straighten up,
and whenever he did straighten he
was compelled to go back into his
crouch, for Parker was tearing his
head off with upper cuts.
The first round started out with
Mullin to the good. The bell sound
ed and the two men started for
the center of the ring. The first
blow struck was a terrific swing
and caught the Kid on the jaw
The blow did not stun him, but
was so forceful that it knocked him
down. He was up Immediately and
after revenge.
The second round was fast and
furious. Parker kept trying to get
the fatal right upper cut to the
Jaw, while Mullin would OCCASION
ally swing his right for the face
In the third the men began to
clinch and Parker started after
Mullins kidneys. At the end Of the
round it was plain that the Irish
man could not stand the repeated
blows and would either have tc
come out of his crouch or be beaten
down. Parker was fighting hard
and trying to get Mullin to un
cover.
Parker practically won the fight
in the fourth. Mullin went into a
crouch and stayed there. He GOV
cred up his face with the gloves
and let Parker hit him 10 or Il
times on the kidneys. Mullin came
out of the crouch laughing, but
those kidneys could not stand the
awful beating they were getting.
In the fifth things were about
even. The men fought furiously
Parker still played for the kidneys
but occasionally tried to get an up
per cut to the jaw.

Beulah had managed to arrange
or an hours relief from her gov
erness' duties, and in her own
room, with locked door, was walk
ing restlessly up and down.
And Alsager was -? Beaulah's
cheeks famed or paled at thought
of him.
He was the Uncle BERTHE" whom
the children alternately adored and
tormented. He was the handsome
bachelor brother of pretty Mrs.
Sartoris, come to preside over West
Lawn since Mr.. Sartoris' death. A
rich, masterful, elegant man, who
had fallen desperately in love with
the governess, and had been &C
cepted by her "a hours before.
Beulah had locked herself in her
room, daring for the first time in
those "a hours-yes, for the first
time since Albert Alsager had
shown his ardent admiration, three
months before - to look matters
straight in the face.
And she saw two undeniable
facts in that unshrinking, steadfast,
stubborn gaze. One, that never
again in all her life would such a
wonderful good fortune come to
her as this that Alsager had laid
with pleadings and kisses at her
feet "a hours before. To be so
rich, so influential, to lead such a
luxurious life, not one girl-one
poor, obscure grim 10000 would
ever have such a chance.
But then that other fact-that
when Vernon had sailed. one year
beofre, he had taken her solemn
promise.
When he returned, June 24-and
today it was June 80.
If she had been true to her own
heart, true to her womanhood, AL
sagers declaration would never
have left his lips; but it was
enough that she had not been true,
and now she was in place where
there was to be terrible contest
between ambition and affection.
One word from ner to either
would settle it all. One word to
Alsager, telling him she had been
mistaken in her own feelings. OF
course she could do all this, and
And-meet Pierce Vernon on his
homecoming; alas! not as leal and
true.
What should she do?
And, as if in answer, she heard
her name called from the lawn be-
low, and she saw Alsager standing
in the shade.
Come down, Beulah, want you
in the library"
And her heart gave prideful
thrill at the sight of him, but not
the same fierce, passionate sensa-
ton that always throbbed over her
when Pierce Vernon looked at her.
Yes, she would go down to him, tell
him all about it.
"My own darling! How | want
ed you, Beaulah-how | wanted to
have you just here where you are
now, where you belong!"
And. when he pressed his kisses
warm and lingering on her lips,
Beulah tried to free herself.
