We know its walls of thorny vines
It's glades of reedy grass,
It's safe and silent islands
Within the dark mOrass.
BRYANT.
The faithful Horse Shoe being left
to himself, replenished his pipe, and'
taking his rifle in his hand, paced 10
and fro upon the border of the road'
holding communion with his own
thoughts, carefully weighing the prob
abilities connected with his present
singular expedition, and revolving af-
ter his own fashion. the fortunes OF
Arthur Butler and Mildred Lindsay.
1t was within an hour of midnight
when the sergeant's meditations were
interrupted by the tramp of horse ap-
preaching the hut at gallop. But
a few moments elapsed before traV-
eler, who in the starlight Horse Shoe
could discern to be armed, drew up MS
rein Immediately at the door OF the
dwelling, against which he struck sew
eral blows with his weapon, calling out
loudly at the same time
Mistress Wingate-for Gods SAKE
open your door quickly! l have news
to tell you, good woman"
IN the name of mercy! who are
you?" exclaimed the voice Of the dame
within. whilst a note of alarm was
also heard from her fellow-lodger.
What do you mean by this racket
and chatter?" demanded Horse Shoe'
in the midst of the uproar, at the same
time laying his hand upon the strang-
er's bride rein. What brings you
here, sir?-stand back: the women IN
that house are under my charge ana l
won't have them disturbed"
IF you are a friend to Mistress WIN
gate" said the horseman sternly,
speak the word; If an enemy. l Will
shiver your skull with the butt end or
my musket."
Don't be rash good fellow replied
Horse Shoe; II take 1t you and me
are on the same side What's afoot
that you stir i'm such a hurry"
THE Tories are afoot-the deVifs

I take II that the senator does not
desire to bubble and I prefer to be-
lieve his sworn statement true, espe-
cially as the act under which we are
proceeding makes false swearing be-
fore the committee perjury. Such be-
ing the condition of affairs. think we
have reasonable grounds, and 1t Is our
duty, to probe this matter as we nave
been doing and are continuing to do.
The senator avows he has friendly
spirit towards the committee. Leaving
aside the suddenness of his recollec-
ton of this fact and acting upon his
avowal as II 1t, were true, I suggest
that If he has any more letters In MS
possession of similar nature to the
one Mr.. FAINT wrote him some years
ago, he will confer a favor by deliver
ing them to the committee before we
learn of such letters and the affairs
to which they relate, through some
other source. What we need most Is
facts and not friendly advice"
So far as the lawyers are concerned
who represent the claims held up ana
the persons under investigation, l will
say that when they write me letters
they will receive a courteous and frank
reply and each of them may expect to
be treated in a respectful manner when
they appear before the committee.
In the event some other person may
wish to find out something about the
investigation and prefers not to use
the newspapers as a medium of cor
RI spondence, just let him write polite
inquiry, If he can and a courteous re-
ply will be returned. II such persons
should be afraid of getting unpleasant
information and objects to the reply
to his inquiry being made public, he
will be accommodated upon request.
In conclusion let me thank you for
the use Of your columns and ask you,
II | am not too inquisitiye myself,
whose cur was 1t that yelped the other
day somewhere up between Charlotte
and Greenville?

FLEECED OUT OF $500
sharpers Rob a German Farmer With
the Old Card Game.

! Garrett, kan, Oct. 1.-TWO men, one
with a satchel full OF money and three
cards, caused a prominent German. nv-
ing north of town, to lose SO, 500.
The game and how it was worked was
thus: A tall man, who claimed to De
ex-judge of Franklin county, stopped
at the home of the farmer and gyanted
him to show him some land, saying he
wanted to buy some for a widow, and,
not knowing the land would pay him
to go and show him some good farms.
They went out and looked at several,
and as they were returning home met
a small man, who did not appear to be
very bright. The man had satchel
and claimed he was hunting for a sister
who lived near Scipo. The fellow said
that he and his sister had inherited
some money and he wanted to give her
$1,000, and opening the satchel showed
that he had the money with him, and
six thousand besides.
In some manner, according to the
story of the farmer. the man with the
money had three small cards in his
hands, and was bantering the farmer
and the supposed land buyer TO see il
he could pull a certain card At first
they pulled for fun. and afterwards
each bet So and won. The small fellow
said he was sure they could not guess
the right card again, and said =, they
did he would give them each So, 500. OF
course they won but the man said he
would not give them the money unless
they showed an equal amount This
of course, they could not do, but the
thing looked so easy that the lana buy
er persuaded the farmer to go to town
with him and borrow the money.
This they did. The farmer going to
the Citizens bank and the land buyer
some where else which of course he
did not do. After securing the money
they drove out to where the fellow was
standing near the bridge, and showed
him their 81 900. The land buyer then
placed his $500 in a tin box. put the
farmers $500 in it, and the half Wit
ted man gave them his $1,000 to put in
While this was going on the farmer
and land buyer were sitting in the
buggy, the buggy of course belonged
to the land man. After locking the
box. he put It under the seat, then TAX
ing it out, but here was the trick. He
took out another one, and told the far
mer that he had better keep the money
while he drove the half-witted fellow
to town and put him on the train. so he
would not say anything, as he 81 not
want the people in Franklin county 70
know that an ex-judge was up to such
a game After putting the man Oh the
train he would come back arE they
would divide the money at O'Clock.
The farmer took the box home The
man failed to show up at s, or for three
days. and the farmer wanted to see the
$4,000, so he opened up the DoX, Dut
instead Of money found only paper and
small rocks
Unfortunately he did not tell any
one of the game for several days, and
by that time the two men had left the
country and mayhaps are working the
same game somewhere else. The far
mer thinks the small man wore false
heard. The other was tail, smooth
shaven- and would weigh about 200
pounds.

FUSS OVER THE GAS.
Packing Plant at Arkansas City Takes
Case to Court.

Arkansas City. Oct. "A restraining
order has been served on the Arkansas
Valley Oil & Gas Improvement COM
pany by Sheriff Welfelt to prevent the
company from turning off the gas from
the plant Of the Henneberry Packing
company. The restraining order is the
result OF a dispute between the two
companies. The gas company claims
the packing company owes $6110S on
last years contract, which expired on
July l. The Henneberry company
claims that it did not use all the gas
it paid for under the contract.
Saturday evening the gas company
sent a man down to the packing plant
to turn of the gas. Later the packing
company had the gas turned on by one
Of its own men. AS soon as the gas
company found that the gas had been
turned on. a man was sent down and
turned it Off again. The man who went
down the last time notified the packing
house that an armed guard with in
structions to shoot would be on duty
and that it would be unhealthy for any
one to go about the place.
Last night Ed Fleming. who is the
attorney for the packing company,
went down and turned on the gas again
and left instructions with the watch
man to see that it was not turned off.
No attempt was made to turn it off and
a restraining order was issued by the
district court, which forces truce for
the time being. The case will be tried
in the district court.

The Democrats of the Twenty-ninth
legislative district have nominated
Capt. W. II. McWhorter a reform Re
publican to make the race for the leg
islature against Joseph Holdren Of
Cherryvale. Until few days ago. 1t
was thought that Holdren would have
nc opposition, but the P. P. Campbell
senatorial fight was injected into the
situation by some OF the anti-CamD-
bell Republican, and they fixed IT up
for the Democrats to nominate an OPP
position candidate. The Democrats met
at Liberty, and the CherryVale delega-
ton opposed nominating a candidate
and the Comeyville and Cherokee dele
cations advocated it. The conference
committee, consisting of two delegates
from each township and city voted to
against nominating a candidate. The
convention tabled the report by vote
of 81 to 26.
Capt. w. H. AIcWhorter. Of Chero-
kee township was the named and NOM
mated by acclamation.
The Coneyville Record says:
Cat. McWhorter, the nominee. is q
Kentucky Republican as he puts it, and
is of the Abe Lincoln brand. He is
against the ringsters and stands fairly
and squarely this year on a Democratic
platform. He is a campaigner and is
popular with all classes He possesses
ability and has the courage of his con-
viction. His nomination was simply
carrying out the Democratic idea OF
the year that the party is working for
men and principles rather than party
interests. Though favorable to making
no nomination two weeks ago, the Rec
ord thinks 1t best now as conditions
have changed very materially here.
Capt. McWhorter has signif1ed his
! willingness to accept the nomination
and will make a thorough campaign
over the entire district. Holdren has q
horse race on his hands to win"

sidled off the stage as he had come on.
But Foy expresser it even more elo-
