Hello! heard Miss Pauline

"Of course you did, old fellow
that she meant to soon leave Paris
for Mexico. l do not expect to ac-
company her, but we may meet there,
by chance, you know, the usual way"
THAT suits me, so long as that
charming and delightful Dora is with
her. l make no bones of it, my dear
boy, I'm head over ears in love, and
willing to wade through seas OF gore
in order to win her."
I'm not as deep in the mire as
you, at the same time confess to ad-
miring Miss Pauline. She's a fine
girl, and l believe as brave as she is
piquant, which is saying good deal.
[ wonder what brought her to Paris.
She limited at some mission. Can
it be in connection with the mine?
does she contemplate recognizing
the company, and freezing out those
chaps? 1t would serve them just
about right if she did, the rascals,
to plot against young girl"

the same track that l had engaged

have better luck. Then again it puz-

Dick laughs at this; he appears to
take precious little interest in the
subject, anyway.

those he controls will be up to next?
| They seem to have no scruples about
what they undertake, and Paris is a
wicked city when you try to find II
out. Pm afraid this Mexican, who is
so used to carrying things with a
high hand in his own country, may
have to be taught a lesson over
here"
"See the head of the police force
about it," suggested Bob. who, as a
sheriff from the West, has a great
idea Of his own influence, and be
lieves all manner of favors will be
granted to them as soon as the pre-
feet knows the circumstances OF the
case, and realizes the importance o.
the position he holds.

Max.m's "r'lyingp Man.

Sir Hiram Maxim, the famous In
ventor, once remarked: Man will
never be able to fly by energy deriv-
ed from his own muscles. To do that
his lungs would have to weigh Isev-
enty.five pounds, the muscles ON his
arms forty pounds, and those OF bis
chest seventy pounds, while he wodld
have to be provided with a breast
bone twenty-eight inches deep. Then.
to bring his weight down little, his
legs would have to be reduced to the
size of an apple. Rather queer kind
of man. this.'

At Col. Llnshan,s Expense.

The late Col. John c. Linehan, in
surance commissioner of New Hamp
shire, was noted for his ability in tell
ing from what part of the world a
person came by his name.
A friend, thinking to have little
fun with him, said: Colonel, In
Nashua we have a name which. some
times troubles US. 1t is spelt Mac
h-i-n-e-r-y."
ooh, yes, Machinery" the colonel
replied. "They are quite prominent
family, and come from the northern
part of Ireland"
Nothing was said on the subject fol
a few minutes. until the gentleman
from Nashua was about to leave
when he said: Colonel, perhaps you
pronounce it Machinery, but most Of
the people in Nashua call it ma
chinery."

amazement he gives a correct reply
in the same tongue. The colonel
laughs heartily.
"Thought to catch Dick-eh. Miss
westerly? Cowboys, don't generally
know Greek and Hebrew and ltallan'
and old time dead languages, but he
does-he's been to college, I'm proud
to say, and I've heard him get on
Sanscrit or Choctaw or some sucn
stuff from the grave, by the yard"
Really, this is astonishing; 1t must
have been singular freak that sent
YOU to the plains, Mr.. Denver" she
remarks.
He laughs pleasantly
"a notion of mine-I was always
fond of horses, adventure and travel.
Besides, | hardly think it is any more
singular for a cowboy to have col
lege education than for a young New
York lady to manage the greatest sill
yer mine in Mexico"
The evening passes pleasantly, they
grow to know and respect each other
better, and quite an advance is made
in the friendship that will become
settled thing in the future. AS for
the irrepressible Dora, she has been
entertaining Colonel Bob in a quiet
way that does her credit. One would
never imagine this demure creature
could take pleasure in wringing the
heart of an admirer, or coolly tor
menting him. Perhaps she has found
her master at last.
The gentlemen prepare to go. They
have passed a pleasant evening, and
Dick has heard many little things that
interest him. He has asked ques-
lions about the Ell Dorado, and learns
much considering the short time he
has known Pauline. On the way to
their lodging-house his comrade takes
him to task.

all those questions about the Ell Do

To be such a successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration OF her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are tagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by tonic with
specific powers. such as Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:
"Ever since my child was born have suf-
fered, as hope few women ever have, with in
hammation, female weakness bearing down

meals, and half my time was spent in bed.

know; she might object to having
her affairs put into the hands OF the
police.

easier found in the night than during
the day, they say
Dick stops short.
"Jove! you hit the nail on the head
that time. To the Office of the pre-
feet 1t is, then"
That's business, Dick, just like
YOU"
They reach the office of the pre-
feet; ascending long. narrow flight
of stairs, passing through corridor
and then an anteroom, where several
men are busily engaged with bundles
of papers, operators sending and re
ceiving Geographic messages, and an
air of business reigns-- finally being
ushered into the presence of the great
head of the Paris police force.
With this gentleman they spend
nearly half an hour, and are sur
prised to find that he already knows
much of what they desire to tell him.
which goes to show the wonderful
resources of the bureau over which
he presides.
When they finally leave, it is
through another door, an attendant
showing them the way. The peculiar
smile ON the face of the project puz
zles Dick, but not for long.
A little devious winding and they
emerge from door farther down
the street, at least fifty feet below the
one at which they entered.
"The duse!" exclaims Colonel Bob.
when they find themselves alone
again, this beats the Dutch! They
hedge him in with mystery, it seems.
Why in the world are we turned out
this way?"

ure. Something-common curiosity,
perhaps, caused me to glance that
way. Several people were waiting an
audience with the project, and upon
two my eyes fell with particular in
terest.
"They were ladies, modestly dress
ed and yelled, but you know lay
great stress on my ability to dis
cover friend even when disguised,
and I am almost ready to wager
good sum that l looked upon the
graceful figure of Miss Pauline, wait
ing the anteroom Of the projects Of

The Sheriff of Secora County gives
a low cry.
There were two of them, you say

of all. To think she should be So

Governors Mysterious illness.

There are all sorts of rumors cur
rent in Ohio regarding the health Of
Gov. Pattison. 1t is at least certain
that he has not yet been able to take
up the duties of the executive Office
at close range, and is cared for at his
Columbus home by a trained nurse.
Meanwhile appointments wait, and
popular curiosity, both as to the real
state of the governors health and Is
to what he may do when ready fk
active duty, is on the increase. Just
what ails the governor is not made
public, beyond the statement that his
trouble is not organic, but local.
