Mrs. Carrie Nation spoke to a
large audience at the court house
Saturday night and at the CON
clusion of her speech sold quite
a quantity of her wares. She
left a favorable impression with
her hearers, upon one topic at
least, that of temperance, and
also as to her behavior, it being
quite the opposite of the decid-
edly tragic, which many, know
ing of her by reputation only,
were led to expect.

Wednesday the orders for stock

in telling it. There is no relief
however as the same jam is on all

ON rHEgFEr-



When James FREEMAN Clarke was
young man he visited Salisbury,
England. Here the beautiful cathe
dral lifts It's spire 404 feet into the
air, The spire is topped by bali, and
on the ball stands a cross, From the
ground the ball looks >like an orange,
but Its diameter Is really greater than
q mans height.
Workmen were repairing the spire.
Mr.. Clarke saw them crawling round
the slim steeple In the golden after
noon like bugs on bean stalk. The
Impulse came to him to climb the
spire and stand on the horizontal beam
Of the cross. Accordingly at dusk,
when the workmen had left, the young
American slipped in and made his
way up the stairs to the little window
which opened to the workmen's stag
ing. To run up the scaifolding to the
ball was easy. Then came the slightly
more bulsing curve of the bali. A
short platform gave him foothold. He
reached up, put his hands on the base
OF the cross and pulled himself up.
To gain the cross arm was merely
'.shinning" up good sized tree. and
soon he stood on the horizontal timber
and, reaching up. touched the top Of
the cross.
After enjoying his moment Of exalta-
ton he slid to the foot Of the cross,
and. with his arms round the post.
slipped down over the great abdomen
of the ball His feet touched nothing.
The little plank from which he had
reached up was not there!
Here was a peril and one for q cool
head and sure eye, OF course be could
not look down. The hugging hold that
he had to keep on the bottom OF the
cross shortened the reach Of bis body
and made 1t less than when he had
stood on the plank and reached up to
the cross with his hands. He must
drop so that his feet should meet the
plank. for be would never be able to
pull himself back IL he should let him
self down at arms length, and bis
feet hung over empty air.
Now his good head began TO work.
He looked up at the cross and tried
10 recall exactly the angle at which he
had reached for 1t, to make his men-
ory tell him just how the edge OF that
square post had appeared. A few
inches to the right or to the left would
mean dropping into vacancy.
Bending his head away back, he
strained his eye up the cross and fig-
ured his angle Of approach. He eau
ti0usly wormed himself to the right
and made up his mind that here direct
ly under his feet must be the plank.
Then he dropped. The world knows
that he lived to tell the tale.

1t gives him a thrill to think that he
may be in a measure looked upon as
her protector
Then his thoughts fly in another
direction. Has Bob kept his promise,
and does he crouch just outside the
walls, ready to respond to a signal
should there be any need of his
services? He knows the Sheriff OF
Secora county too well to doubt this
fact. If Bob has declared his inten-
ton to do a certain thing, all the
forces of nature and man cannot de-
bar him. Besides there is a magnet
here that must draw him.
Once Dick catches a voice that
causes him to elevate his eyebrows.
So the little professor, who has come
to Mexico to burrow in new realms of
science and make known 70 the world
her wealth in animal life. is present.
This fact causes Dick to believe
more than ever that the whole bust
ness is a deep-laid scheme on the
part of Lopez. Perhaps Morales is in
his power. The grandee diplomat may
own a goodly share i'm the FL Dorado,
SO that he is financially interested in
the carrying out of the hidalgo' s
schemes. Dick moves nearer. so that
he may examine the house and its ap-
proaches. II Morales is in the game.
of course that is no reason his wife
knows aught about it; her influence
may have been secured and she quite
innocent.
Still the time passes. He can see
that they are having refreshments
above. One of the servants invites
him to join them in cake and pulQue,
but Dick refuses and continues to
smoke while he keeps up his vigil,
knowing that If he once gets among a
lot of native Mexicans they will soon
penetrate his disguise.
So he waits.
The drama will soon make another
turn unless his calculations are all
astray. He feels for his weapons now
and then, not that he is anxious to
use them, but their presence gives
him confidence in his power to protect
Pauline.
II Morales has been drawn into the
, plot he must have entered II heart and
soul, and once in. will give himself
over to the service of Lopez without
reserve, so that all the forces under
his control will be turned against the
Americans.
The hour grows late. Dick consults
his watch and finds II is after eleven.
They have been having such good
time inside the house that perhaps
they do not notice the lapse of hours,
More than once he sees Pauline in a

back upon divan, while her husband
stands before her, his face expressing
shame at being connected with a
scheme to harm his wife's guest.
In the middle OF the room stands
the central figure-Pauline Westerly.
Two men hold her. and it is well they
do, for she has a small revolver in her
hand, and would do some of her
enemies harm if given the chance
The men who thus lay sacrilegious
hands upon the brave American girl
are Senior Lopez and one of his fol.
lowers Although there are a number
of Mexican gentlemen present, not
one raises a hand to help beauty in
distress, which is positive proof that
they are all in the same boat: like
Morales, they have a deep interest in
the Ell Dorado, and besides, must be
in the power of the cunning old hi:
dalgo.
All this constitutes dramatic
scene Dick will never forget to his
dying day. His first glance is at the
girls face-how her eyes seem TO
fairly burn as they turn upon the old
Mexican don. She feels an utter con.
tempt for a man who would stoop to
war upon women, and this feeling is
shown in her glorious orbs.
Dick catches his breath as his eyes
remain riveted upon that inspired
face. With such an incentive he
would dare anything on earth. nor
could he be daunted.
This time we have you, my lady
manager, and we do not mean to let
you escape until you have placed your
signature to this paper. Jose, place
it on the table-the pen-the ink.
Now" twisting the little revolver from
her hand. "sit down and sign. Miss

Will she sign? Dick is ready to
spring forward If he sees her about
to give way. She takes the paper in
her hands and reads-every eye is
bent upon her-she slowly picks up
the pen, digs 1t i'm the ink, and. as
Dick takes a step forward. draws a
heavy black cross over the entire face
of the document.

hold de has upon Miss Westerly's re-
gard. Like a faithful watchdog he
waits; and the opportunity comes at
last.
He notices that there has been a
change within-the music ceases, and
even the laughter comes only at inter
walls. Perhaps the ladies are about
ready TO go home; if so, the crucial
test is certainly at hand.
Dick moves still nearer, in order to

place. What was that? II sounded not

longer he springs up the steps of the

Dick finds the doors wide open. He
bursts into the spacious hallway
where lights abound, his manner that
of a tiger in pursuit of his prey.
There is no need Of a directory to
show him the way; the loud voices
lead him straight to the room where
an exciting drama is taking place.
As he reaches the doorway this is
what meets his eyes. The room is APP
parently a library, and seems full of
people. There is Dora, looking
frightened. and with Professor John
endeavoring to calm her, at the same
time pouring his story of devotion into
her ear. Sonora Morales has sunk
