BEaVlLED ADc CAPTIVITY BY GIVING DANTE5 AN ED-
 JCGTlON CUCh AS FEW COULD

The girl was Haidee. the ward of Monte Crsto!
 The Count de Morcerf fled to his home a ruined man. Albert hurried to Dang lars, and charged him with being the au- thor of the reports against his father.
 T only wrote to Yanina,' said the Bar on, who was a coward. T wrote at the suggestion of the Count Of Monte Cristo' .
 And Monte cristos ward appeared be- fore the committed" exclaimed Albert, "I see 1t all It is a plot on the part of this adVentnrer." At once he sent Il challenge to the count.
 The night before the morning set for the duel q woman demanded an audience with the count. When they were alone the woman sank her knees, and rais- ing her slasped hands supplcatingly, cried out: Edmond you will not kill my son?"
 What name was that you mentioned madam?" said the count sternly.
 "Oh. Edmond, l knew you from the first-f alone recognized you. l am Mer- cedes," sobbed the lady

 ''I alone am to blame. 1 was alone thought you were no more. Oh, Edmond, by our old love. be mercfnl.'
 "I thought myself the averaging angel of the Lord" murmured Monte Gristo. "But sometimes I doubt-sometmes I doubt"
 There was no duel between Monte Cristo and Albert de Morcerf next day. The count de Morcerf. furious that he had not been avenged by his son, rushed to tho house of Monte Cristo.
 "Ah, you would nght?' cried Monte Cristo. "So be 1t. Here are swords We are alone"
 "we know little of each other" said Morcerf. and yet--'
 "On the contrary. we know much of each other" interrupted Monte cristo. Are you not Fernand who deserted on the eve of the battle of Waterloo? are you not Lieutenant Fernand. who served as a guide and spy in the French army in Spain? Are you not Captain Fcrnand, who betrayed Ali and sold his wife and daughter into slavery?'
 "Yes," shouted Morcerf. q am. And who are you? I would know your name that I may pronounce 1t as l run my sword through your heart"

 'Explain yourself" said the Count.
 Well, know that my father merchant of Marseilles, was financially ruined and was about to take his own life when help was sent him by a person who signed himself Sindbad the Sailor. l have just learned that you are sometimes so called.
 Your father was an old friend of mine. I was indebted to him for many kind nesses What more natural than that should have helped him In his troubles?'' said the Count.
 From that day Morel worshipped the Count and confded in him. 1t was not long before he told him of his love for Valentine de Vilefort. a love which was returned, but which neither dared aYow publicly.
 About this time there appeared in Paris the Count Cavalcanti, an Italian youth whom Monte Cristo introduced, but re- fused to voueh for. Cavalcanti was tall, dashing man, and he not only mad gen erous letters of credit on Danglars, but rumor made him immensely wealthy. The count-or the prince, as people insist ed on calling him-at once paid court 10 Eugene, the daughter of the Banker bar on Danglars. She was engaged to Al bert de Morcerf 1t is true, but Danglai S coveted the supposed wealth of CaYal- canti. Albert's would be but modest fortune, even after his fathers death.
 Things had been going wrong with thS Baron lately He was continually cashins drafts drawn by foreign houses which failed before he could realize. One day, after Monte Cristo had investigated the working of the telegraph, the Baron lost heavily on the bourse through piece or false news And then. in regard to Mor- cerf. a paragraph had recently appeared in the papers saying that 1t had just leaked out that a certain French officer named Fernand had betrayed Ali Trene- line for a good round sum to the Turks. Decidedly the Baron would break off the match with Albert and marry his daugh- ter to Cavacanti.
 'T have made my way in the world. sir" said Danglars to Monte Cristo, I began as a supercargo, speculated on my own behalf got an army contract-and look at me nowl cannot have my daugh- ter marry the son of man who is under a cloud"
 Tt is easy enough 10 find out tho truth" replied Monte Cristo. Write to Yanina."
 Danglars did so, and on receiving a reply dismissed Albert de Morcerf. An other article appeared in a Paris paper, directly accusing the Count de Morcerf Of the betrayel of Ali. The house of peers appointed a committee to investigate the charges. It was a dramatic trial and the count seemed likely to be acquitted, when a yelled woman demanded to be heard before the committee. She entered attended by a Nubian slave. threw back her veil and proclaiming herself the daughter of the betrayed All Pasha, con- nrmed all of which the report from Yam ina had accused Morcerf, and added the information that he had also sold herself and her mother Into slavery.

 This chemically inclined lady was pres ent at the AuteuiI dinner with her hus- band. After dinner the Count conducted his guests over the house.
 This chamber hung with red said he, T have not disturbed It seemed to me So suggestive of some old crime that l left if as 1t was, for a fancy"
 The Baroness Dangars sank, trembling, into a chair. "The air is so oppressive here" she explained.
 Truly it is so,' replied Monte Cristo. "let IL, seek the cool air of the garden" and he conducted his guests down se- cret staircase into the neglected garden, on which the moon was shining.
 Here" said he '1s another place which l have not disturbed Do you know, l beleve l have happened upon d haunted house, and that if the red chamber and thls old garden coul speak we shou1 hear q weird tale? Right here, now, be- heath this tree, l have thought of dig ging for buried treasure"
 There was shriek. The Baronets Dan glars had tainted.
 "pray pardon me-" said the Count. My gruesome fancies are too much for the delicate nerves of the Baroness
 The next day the Baroness Danglars and M de Villefort met by appointment.

 "Hermine." replied the Kings attor- ne, solemnly. I've are in the hands of fate-and fate personfied by that terrible an mysterious man whom people call ths CT unt of Monte Cristo. And, Her mine will tell you what I have spared to tell you be1ore-there is nothing bu- riei beneath the tree. The day after that fearful night l went back, weak as l was from my wounds, and tried to dig up what 1 had buried. It was not there, 1he man who stabbed me had possibly taken it away-and perhaps alive"
 The Kings attorney buried his face in his hands. while the Baroness exclaimed: :: Oh Gerard, I hope so, In spite of all. Alive? My son, alive?"
 Although the Baron q Epiany was en- gagged to the gentle and beautiful Valen- tine. Vileforte's daughter by his first wifi, Franz did not hurry himsel about return ing to Paris. When he did come, every body asked him what he knew of the Count of Monte Cristo. All the informa- had discovered that in Italy he sometimes did charitable deeds under the name of Sndbad the Sailor. The fact was that what Franz had asked his mysterious host on the island of Monte Cristo to whom he was indebted for such hospital ity, his host had replied: Well. call me Sindbad; you have just said that this cave is out of the Arabian Nights"
 This statement of Franz enlightened no one except Maximilan Morel, an officer of Spahis. who had distinguished himself in Algiers and was now On leave in Paris. This young officer flew at once to the house of Monte Cristo.

Wild Ride on a Sawloq.

Benjamin Colder. lumberman of North Mountain, had a thrilling ride down the mountain side today on a log. The log started at the top of the slide and carried him with it. He managed to get astride and feared to jump of because of the danger of being crushed.
 The slide inclines about 80 degrees and the log sped downward at frightful speed. The branches of the trees whipped Colder with such force that his clothes vera torn to shreds.
 Near the bottom a big branch swept him from the log like a feather. Ha was picked up unconscious and badly bruised. but will recovep

N eets Tragic Death.

Friends here were shocked to
hear Of the tragic death of engin-
eer Howard Dexter, which occur
ed at Forsyth Tuesday evening.
There is much involved mys-
terry in connection with the affair.
According to the report sent to
Superintendent J. M. Rapelje,
Dexter had gone over to the de-
pot to greet some friends who
were passengers on No. A. There
after he bade the yard foreman
good night and said he was go
ing to bed.
About forty minutes later Dex-
ter was killed while setting on
the track. by No. s, whose engin-
eer saw him and whistled a warm
ing. He seemed to make an at
tempt to rise and get out of
harms way, but was struck and
killed. It appeared from his ac-
tions, that he could not get up.
Superintendent Rapelje says
he is absolutely at loss to under
stand the various phases Of the
accident. He says Dexter was a
fine young fellow and absolutely
temperate in his habits. 1t is
hard to understand how or why,
with his intimate knowledge Of
the consequent danger, he would
be found seated on a rail at any
time. Further mystery dwells
in the fact Of his apparent inabil-
ity to save himself.
Mr.. Dexter formerly had q run
between here and Dickinson and
is well known in Glendive. He
was a nephew Of engineer Dillin-
ger Of Dickinson. Review.

AN AUSTRIAN SHQT.

man in Self Defense.

On last Friday afternoon at
Camp No. 2, on the Government
Irrigation Ditch north Of Glen
dive, there occurred a quarrel be-
tween one Of the Austrian work.
men and an American. The
trouble, it seems, arose because
of the Austrian's refusing to give
the American water and striking
at the American with a spade.
He did not succeed in hitting the
American, however, and then
threw a ROCK which knocked
Uncle Sans citizen down. At
this juncture, Willard Freeman
interviewed as peacemaker and
the Austrian dropped in the grass
and when Freeman approached
him the fellow shot. Freeman
tried to take his gun from him
but the Austrian fired at him
again. Freeman lodged and
pulled his own gun, shooting the
Austrian in the lower part Of the
Abdomen. After this the fellow
attempted to shoot again but his
gun failed to discharge. When
the Austrian raised his gun this
time Freeman shot twice in sue
cession and the Austrian seemed
to be overcome but when Free
man tried TO secure his gun the
fellow again attempted to shoot
but this time Freeman overpow-
cred him and secured the gun.
The Austrian was Immediately
taken to Glendive where he died
on Sunday morning,
A coronsr's jury consisting Of
Messrs. Mead, Bean, Barnett,
Dawson, Dion and Hagen. was
called and Freeman was placed
under $4,000 bond, until the facts
were made known to the officials,
when he was released.
The above are the facts of the
case, SO far as the P ioneer has
been able to learn them, and
judging from these facts it
would appear that Mr.. Freeman
was justified in shooting the fel-
low, according to the law Of self
defense, and that the officials did
right in releasing him. An oc-
currence Of this kind is exceed
ing distasteful to any man, but
when forced into it he can only
make the best Of it.
