Chickens Paid for the Doctor.

A farmers wife who had heard the
adage of imperial Caesar turned to
clay stopping hole to keep the wind
away" thought of making practical
use of her husband who was helpless
ly ill with typhoid fever. The old man
was having persistently high tempera-
ture, and she considered that as his
degree of temperature was just the
same as that generated by sitting hen
it presented a favorable opportunity
to hatch out some fertile eggs which
lacked the requisite maternal attention.
Accordingly she packed severel dozens
of eggs around the body of the patient,
who, at the termination of the time
usually taken by the hens, hatched
out a numerous progeny of stalwart
chicks, whose monetary value went
to pay the bill presented by the at
tending physician.

Betty" sad the colonel, pale and
worried, "have you been riding Pirate? ?
Where he is, and what in the world has
happened? ?"-noting the dust on her
habit and her tangled hair.
She explained She told the story
rather coolly Warburton thought, but
she left out no detail.
"You have James to thank for my
safety, father. He was very calm aud
clear-headed."
Calm and clear headed! thought
Warburton.
The girl then entered the house,
humming. Most women would have
got out the lavender salts and lain
down the rest of the day, considering
the routine of fashionable dinner,
which was the chief duty of the even
ing.
81 am grateful to you, James. My
daughter is directly in your care when
she rides, and | give you full authori-
ty. Never permit her to mount any
horse but her own. She is all have,
and if anything should happen to
her"
Eyes, sir; l understand"
The colonel followed his daughter;
and Warburton led Dick to the stables,
gave orders to William, and flung
himself down on his cot. He was
dead tired. And the hour he had
dreaded had come! He had to drive her
through the shopping district. Well, so
be it. If any one exposed him, very
good. This groom business was de-
| cidedly like work. And there was that
confounded dinner-party, and he would
have to limp around table and carry
soup plates! And as likely as not he
would run into the very last person
he expected to see.
Which he did.

Let Cleveland Have His Way

EX-President Cleveland used to fish
and shoot in the Barnegat Bay district
John Camburn, guide, says that one
cold, wet night Mr.. Cleveland got lost.
He wandered through the rain and
darkness, trying to find his party, but
not house could he see, not light
nor a road.
Finally he struck narrow lane, and
in due course a house appeared. 1t
was now late. Mr.. Cleveland was cold
and tired. He thought he could go no
farther, so he banged at the door till a
window on the second floor went up,
and a gruff voice said:
"Who are your"
ga friend" said Mr.. Cleveland.
what do you want?''
81 want to stay here all night"
"Stay there. then"
And the window descended with a
bang, and Mr.. Cleveland shouldered
his gun again and wearily resumed his
journey.-Boston Herald.

CHAPTER XIII.-CoNTINUED
And what do you suppose the rascal
did-with nobody but Dick to watch
him? Why, he did what any healthy
young man in love would have done;
pressed his lips to the girls hair,
his eyes filling and half sob in his
parched throat. He dolefully pictured
himself a modern Antiochus, dying of
love and never confessing it. Then he
kissed her hair again; only her hair,
for somehow he felt that her lips were
as yet inviolable to his touch.

afraid there was color in his face, too.
Her gaze Immediately roved up the
road. There was no Pirate, only q
haze of dust. Doubtless he was still
going it, delighted over the trouble he
had managed to bring about. Warbur-
ton knelt at the girls side and brushed
the dust from her skirt. She eyed
him curiously. I shant say that she
smiled | don't know, for | wasn't

Meanwhile she made several futile
attempts to put up her hair, and as a
finality she braided it and let it hang
down her back. Suddenly and unac-
countably she grew angry-angry at
herself, at James, at the rascally horse
that had brought her to this pass.
Warburton saw something of this emo
ton in her eyes, and to avoid the storm
he walked over to Dick, picked up the
reins, and led him back.
''If you will mount Dick, Miss he

The futility and absurdity of her
anger aroused her sense of the ridicu-

b|SbEE|TES WIN FIRST GAME
 0F SERIES
Opening Game Marked By Brilliant Playing-Small
 Crowd Present.

Bisbee, 6; Douglas, 4. That tells games of baseball ever witnessed on the local field. The small crowd that journeyed to Don Luis yesterday were rewarded for their efforts, and came away with the conviction that with better support Bisbee can keep one of the very best hines in the Territory ir the field. Scarcely hundred fans were present.
 The game throughout was replete with brilliant and exciting plays, par ticularly one made by Douglas, in which Fluke brought in a fly after running from left nearly to second base line, making one of the best catches ever witnessed on ball field.
 In the first inning Bisbee started in with four runs, obtaining lead that trey kept up throughout the game. Barring some ragged fielding in the first, no errors of importance were made in the game. Douglas had seven errors to her side of the tally sheet while Bisbee only three.
 In the second inning Douglas made two runs. Jack Kelly and Overlook singling and scoring. on Fluke's two- bagger. Fluke was caught at third and Mcclure and Nelson were dou- bled by Dugan, French and Bohn- stadt. In Bisbee's half Glow singled and stole second; Ryan hit safe and Dugan put himself out by running into a batted ball. Bohnstadt hit to McGuire, who dropped the ball, and Glow scored. French then struck out and Haslam went out from Graves to Kelly. Score, Bisbee 5. Douglas 2.
 Heavy hitting by the visitors gave them two more runs in the third.
 Blum famed and Murray drove the ball out into right center for two sacks. H. Kelly flied to Blair and Graves slammed the ball to the right field fence, scoring Murray and land- ing himself on third. He scored on Jack Kelly's hit to extreme left, which would have been good for three bases, but the little catcher cut first and couldn't get back in time, after he found out that the umpire had seen him slight the initial bag. That was the extent of the run getting for the visitors, and with one exception was the end of their hitting, overlook mak- ing two-bagger in the fourth.
 Douglss prevented Bfsbee from scoring in the fourth by several pretty | plays. Ryan drew a base and tried 1 to steal second, but was caught be- | tween first and second. With only one out Dugan hit the ball to center for three bases; Bohnstadt popped to Nel- son: then came one of the prettiest catches ever seen on the local ground. French hit a high fly to short center and Fluke, the visitors left fielder, ran in from deep left and caught the ball. just barely getting his fingers around it. He was heartily cheered by the crowd for his pretty work. Murray, the Douglas third baseman, soon after distinguished himself by taking a difficult foul fly behind third base.
 Bisbee's last score was made in the eighth, Dugan bringing in the sixth run after a series of errors.
 The following is the full score and summary of the game:

New Stock Quotation.

Ever since the local restauranters carried out their plan of raising the price on ham and" there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction among the hard-working class who eat supper at G. M. and invariably indulge in the afroesaid luxury. It is rumored that there is to be a mass meeting called to consider the matter of taking legal steps against the grasping restaurant owners. One of the leading slErits in the dissatisfied ranks consulted an attorney, and claims that he was told that the new price could be attacked on the ground that the restauranteurs have violated the Sherman Antitrust law. Trading in the new stock is rather dull as there are plenty of sel lers in the market but very few buy CTS, as it has been rumored that the proce would fall. We consider this stock very good investment at two bits, but thirty-five cents is a rather heavy price. The closing quotations on ham and' last evening were 25 cents bid; 5 cents asked.

At meeting of the Bisbee hose team held last evening at the fire house last evening the members of the team who are to represent Bisbee at the Tombstone races on Labor Day were chosen. The team will be practically the same as that which ran at Douglas and made the fastest time to the plug. Special attention has been given the train of the plug men for the Tombstone race, owing to a fluke at that point which lost the Douglas races for Bisbee.

One of the heaviest rains of the season passed over the city last night The storm did not last for more than half hour, but in that time great quantity of water fell. So far as known. no damage was done by the hail which accompanied the rain storm, but many of the old-timers were afraid that it was going to be repe, tition of the heavy hailstorm, which swept over Bisbee about ten years ago, damaging every roof in the city. It seems that the direction of the wind was exactly the same. and many other similar circumstances existed.
