VVYILLIAM ARMSTRONG rode
WV his splendid black steed like
one more accustomed to the
polishing of saddle leather
than to the wearing out of the same
material in the form of boots. Horse
and man were so subtly suited, each to
each, that such another pair might we'll
have given to some early artist the first
idea of a centaur. Armstrong was evil
IDENTIFY familiar with the district he
traversed, for he evinced no surprise
when, coming to the crown Of height,
he saw in the valley below him a one
stored stone building, whose out
houses and general surroundings pro-
claimed it solitary inn, but the horse,
less self contained and doubtless more
fatigued, thrust forward his ears and
gave utterance to a faint whinny of
pleasure at the near prospect of rest
and refreshment. The hand Of the
rider affectionately stroked and patted
the long black name, as If in silent
corroboration of the animals eager an
ticipations.
The young man was as fair as his
mount was dark. A mass Of yellow
hair flowed out from under his Scots
bonnet and over his broad shoulders.
A heavy blond mustache gave him q
semimilitary air, look of the cavalier,
as if he were a remnant Of that strick-
en- band across the border which was
fighting for King Charles against dali
ly increasing odds; but something Of
jaunty self confidence in Armstrong;
manner betokened that the civil war
raging in England was no concern Of
his, or that, if he took any interest in
it, his sympathies inclined toward the
winning side, as indeed was the case
with many Of his countrymen. His
erect bearing, body straight as one Of
his native pines, enhanced the soldier
like appearance of the horseman, and
it needed but a glance at his clear
skinned but resolute face and powerful
frame to be convinced that he would
prove a dangerous antagonist to meet
in combat, while the radiant good
nature Of his frank countenance indi-
Gated a merciful conQueror should vic
tory fall to him, as seemed likely I'M
less the odds were overwhelming.
Both prowess and geniality were on
the instant of being put to the test as
he approached the inn, where a way
farer is usually certain of welcome
if he has but money in his pouch. A
lanceman, his tall weapon held up
right, stepped out into the road from
the front of the closed door before
which he had been standing when he
saw that the traveller was about to
halt and dismount
"Ye'll be fur dawnerin' on a bit
faurer forret," hinIed the sentinel In a
cautious, insinuatlng manner, as If he
were but giving expression to the
others unspoken intention.
"a wise man halts at the first public
house he comes to after the sun ia
down." Eenlied Armstrong.

HEAVY FINES IN

$4,000 for Relating.

COURT DECLARED THAT THERE
WERE NO ExTENUATiNG CIR
cUMsTANcES IN FAVOR OF THE
DEFENDANTS.
Publishers Pressl

Chicago, July 11.-Judge Lands in
the United States district court sen
fenced the Chicago and Alton road
which was recently convicted of grant
ing illegal rebates at Kansas City, tc
pay fine of $4,000 on each of two
counts, or total of $4,000.
John Faithorn and Fred A Wann
former officials of the road, who were
also convicted, were sentenced to pay
fine of $1,000 each on two counts or
a total of $4,000 each.
The defendants were fined on two
counts of an indictment containing
ten counts. The specific charge on
which they were> convicted was that
they gave Schwarzschild & Sulzberger
a rebate of 81 per car on all shipments
from the Kansas City plant of the
packing company. The defendants
claimed the charge was made against
them by the packing company which
had the right to levy it because 1t
owned the track near the plant and
therefore had the right to charge the
railroad for trackage.
Judge Lands, in his instructions,
practically directed the jury to bring
in a verdict of guilty, and after it was
rendered, attorneys for the railroad
and for the individual defendants,
asked for time to show that the rebate
was public and not a secret affair.
Attorneys for the railroad said that
they were not able to bring witnesses
into court to testify because they
feared prosecution themselves.
The court in passing sentence said
he could see no extenuating circum-
stances in the granting of rebates.
After sentence defendants gave notice
Of appeal.
The fine inflicted by Judge Lands is
identical with that imposed on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road in similar case by Judge Bethea
in the United States circuit court

At THE TREATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Those who care for banjo playing
by capable and clever performers,
should not miss the vaudeville bill at
the New Phillips this week, for the
playing by the Lannon'S is one of the
highly enjoyable features of the bill.
They are fully masters of the banjo
and in addition render selections on
other instruments and also vocal num-
bers. An effort has been made to
solve some of the mysterious work
done by Ladelle, king of magic, but so
far no progress has been made. He
Is as mystifying as the magic workers
of the Far East.
Vaudeville at the Gennett.
Native talent in the line OF enter
tainment is fully demonstrated in the
persons of the little pickaninnies that
are at the Gennett this week with
Miss Ethel Whiteside. They take to
the footlights as naturally, it seems,
as a duck takes to water. This act
has proven one of the most popular
the Gennett has had in recent weeks.
Notwithstanding the fact that this is
their third appearance in Richmond,
the Four Dancing Harrises are more
popular than ever and put on better
turn than ever before.
