This Spanish Abe was O bad actor

stray cattle and the blooded mares of
the neighborhood. With d companion
he was finally rounded up and incarce-
rated In the Eureka Jail. The next
night, however, the criminals forced

later "hit the trair' in pursuit. "Span-
ish Abe" turned toward Utah and was
changing horses along the road
"Big Sim," renewing his mount like
wise and cutting cross country, gained
on the fugitives in the desert. Pur-
sued and pursuer had been riding con-
tlnuously and the horses were giving
way under the strain. But "Big Sim"
kept on, and they say he was well into
Utah-near Fillmore, to be specific
when he brought Spanish Abe" and
his companion upon a level with his
gun and clapped on the handouts.

Sim," the Spaniard whined. "We're in

saying that he had quite forgotten to
speak to the lady upon the subject was
very sorry he could not see me, but was
unwell, and so on. All parcel of pre-
varications; and l have never set eyes
upon him since"
But what motive do you suppose Mr..
Penrhyddyn should have for purposely
avoiding the meeting?" asked Stafford,
whose face had fallen during Jerome's
last speech.
What motive? Why, he had spoken
to Miss Grierson, and the reult was too
favorable to my opinion to be reported to
me-"
"Mr. Arthur Penrhyddyn Is utterly in
capable of subterfuge," cried Stafford,
warmly; but for all his warmth, he felt
but i'll at ease
"Oh, of course-because he's an aristo-
Graf" sneered Jerome. But have not
done yet. Now comes the grand tableau.
Behold the group ready arranged, Leland,

cratic friend here"-pointing to Parsons
-"behold my witnesses, listen to my tes-
timony, and then doubt If you can. Hav-
ing, about a fortnight ago, run out Of

for work. Consequently I had no leis-
ure to devote to the pursuit of my ex-
inamorata; but being, two days ago, the
happy possessor of certain coins of the
realm, the fever suddenly seized upon me.
So l Immediately consulted the pages Of
the Court Guide;' discovered that a Miss
Grierson resided in Harley street; made
inquiries In the region of hunkeydom, and
discovered that 1t was a lady with golden
hair; and yesterday morning, in the COM
pany of the gentlemen present, strolled
down Harley street. Just as we got with

Issue forth from 1t, to step into the car
riage that was waiting at the curb. but
my lady herself, accompanied by the very
old fellow 1 saw her with at the theater.

in my direction, and you should have seen
the expression Of her face; here's my
aristocratic friend, here, was standing
close at my elbow-ask him."

pest then raging In six months these
same Senators who had opposed, criti-
clsed and ridlculed Eckels' nomination
were pralsing him, for he had succeed
ed from the start.
Mr.. Eckels was long an admirer and
an ardent supporter Of President
Cleveland. Mr.. Eckels' friends In ILL
nois had asked the President to name
him United States District Attorney for
the Northern District of that State, and
that was the place he expected to get.
But Mr.. Cleveland saw In him quail
ties which he thought could be put to
use In better cause. They were
strong common sense aggressive homes
ty, intrepid courage and untirlng in
dustry, and he determined on the mas
terstroke.
Mr.. Eckels made an enviable record
In aiding tottering banks during the
dark days Of 1898. 1t has been said
Of him that he was "unstampedable,
coolest and most courageous in the hour
Of greatest danger, and with all his
powers constantly at full command"
Time and again he saved banks, and
even business communities, from dsas-
ter by his timely, tactful and sensible
action. When he retired from Office in
1897 1t was to accept, almost at once,
the presidency Of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, Of Chicago, place now
made vacant by his early death. He
became one Of the foremost financial
advisers Of the country, rising from an
obscure lawyer, httle known outside Of
Ottawa, Ill, his home.

made the cold dews of terror start out
upon his brow. No, it was impossible
his morbid Imagination would find resem-

A gloomy, terrible night was that to Ar
thur Penrhyddyn.
But far more terrible was the night
passed by Mrs. Castleton. The moment
Arthur had quilted her, she ran up to her
bedroom, and cast herself upon her knees,
and buried her face in the bed cover. The
next moment she rose to her feet and
paced the room like one distraught. Wild
incoherent calculations burst from her
lips, and sobs and groans Hour after
hour passed away, and still this frenzied
excitement, this exaggerated hysteria, was
unabated, until exhausted nature could
endure no more; and throwing herself
upon the bed, she fell into a stupor Of
insensibility rather than healthful sleep
When Arthur came in the morning, she
was too i'll to receive him. She had mo-
left her room could not receive him unit

livered by Mrs. Freeman, which sent hin

''Oh, by the bye, I quite forgot to do

introduce you, Mr.. Parsons, to an esteem
ed friend of ours, Mr.. Edward Stafford,
a brother artist"
Mr. Parsons twirled his moustache,

haughtily acknowledged the introduction
by curt bow.

gaslit glories of the Strand. 1t Is won

Stafford. "You were deceived by re-

mockingly. "You are another of those

Although the phenomenon has been
observed since man has existed, the
true nature Of sleep and what causes
1t are practically mysteries to-day. All
recognize the necessity of sleep and
know that 1t is the sovereign remedy
for fatigue-"tired natures sweet re-
storer."
This fact has led to the theory that
sleep Is Induced by the poisons which
are known to be formed and passed in
to the blood stream during wearying
exercise of mind or body. The theory
is that these polsons benumb the
nerve-center controlling the circulation
in the brain, with consequent reduc-
tion in the blood supply; this "ane-
mia" Of the brain produces uncon-
sciousness, or sleep, during which the
activities of body and mind are re-
pressed, the formation of fatigue poi
sons" Is arrested, and those already
formed and circulating in the blood are
| eliminated.
When this has taken place the puri-
fed blood again nourishes and stimu-
lates the circulation center, an in
creased volume of blood flows to the
brain, and the subject awakes, renew
ed In spirit and flesh, and ready for
the labors of the day.
This explanation Is only a theoreti-
cal one, but it is plausible. Whatever
may produce it and whether it is q
cause or an accompaniment, we know
that lessened blood supply in the
brain Is associated with healthy sleep
and that cerebral excitement and con.
gestion must be overcome before nor
nal sleep can take place.
The relation of the circulation tC
sleep Is seen in the alternate drowsl
ness and insomnia Of the very aged
While sitting up they are drowsy ant
cannot keep their eyes open, but the
minute they lie down the power tt
sleep forsakes them. This is probabl,
due to the fact that the arteries hav,
lost their tone. While the subject sit
up the blood sinks away from the brail
because the weakened heart is unable t
overcome the pull Of gravity but whel
he lies down the blood trickles into tn
vessels Of the brain and the smaller ar
teries are passively dilated by its pres
sure, OF course the process is not quit
SO purely mechanical as this, for no on,
could live with such flabby arteries, bu
the force of gravity does act in a meas

J The treatment Of this form of insom
mia of the aged Is not in the giving O.
hypnotics, but Of something that vii

Sudden Death of Former ComptroIIes
of Currency.
The death in Chicago Of James Fl.
Eckels, president of the Commercial
National Bank of that city, and a for
mer comptroller Of the currency, re-
moved a figure Of national interest. Mr..
Eckels' end came suddenly and was
due to heart disease.
James Heron Eckels was born at
Princeton, ILL.,, November %, 1853, and
most of his life had been spent In ILL
nois. He was graduated from the AL
bany IN. " Law School In 1880. He
practiced law at Ottawa, ILL.,, until ap-
pointed by President Cleveland comp
troller Of the currency In 1893. This
act Of Cleveland's early In his second
term, when the great battle for free sil-
Yer was almost at Its height, set the
gray heads in the United States Sen
ate wagging with distrust and they held
up Mr.. Eckels' appointment. They de-
clared that STRIPPING lawyer from the
backwoods Of Illinois, one who did not
even know the A. B. C.'s of finance,
could not administer the duties and
pilot the treasury ship through the tenn
