Back, or you are both dead men!"
he exclaimed; and the click or tris
ger sounded sharply and distinctly.
Back yourselves, scoundrels!N
echoed the voice of Delatour, clear
and undaunted, as he wrestled with
the foremost of the three.
81 say. Delatour, this is very fool
ish," faltered Markham. "We can't
attempt to resist these men. Give 'em
the money-what is the money to our
lives? They will come in"
"They must have the satisfaction
Of walking over my dead body frst!"
muttered Delatour between his clench-
ed teeth, as he still struggled fiercely
with his opponent; and a strange
thrill ran through Marguerite Lees
veins, as she heard the brave words,
so bravely spoken.
A sudden flash through the pitchy
darkness-the report of a revolver
and Jim Allen fell back, with the cry
of baffied wild beast.

ley. Lets cut. ,Jim's hurt, and
there amt no use tryin' longer"
But Mr.. Sydney Delatour had no
idea of thus easily allowing retreat
in good order and although Bill and
Striped Charley escaped, Jim Allen
was left a most unwilling hostage.
And when Uncle Ralph, whose pistol
from the second-story window had
caused such a timely diversion, de-
scended, he found the huge burglar
lying on the dining-room floor, safe
ly secured by bonds improvised out
of the curtain tassels and cords.
You're as strong as Samson, for
all you look so SLIM" growled the
burglar, with a sort of unwilling
homage to his captor. "My eye, but
you gripped hold of a fellow like you
was made of iron"
"My boy" said Uncle Ralph, earn

hand, cit is to you that we owe our
protection, perhaps our safety, to-

ated the old man, and Marguerita's
glance of silent scorn confirmed the
unpleasant import of her uncle's
words.
What did tell you, Rita?" tri-
umphantly whispered Nina in her
cousins ear. "Who is the craven
knight now, and who the recreant
slave?"
Il shall thank Sydney for myself"
was the low-uttered reply.
She did-and she did it so earnest
ly that Mr. Delatour took courage on
the spot to ask her to be his wife.
And Marguerite said Eyes"
Jim Allen, being duly tried and
convicted was sent to prison, but for

the oldest Germans in Racine, and for
mer Democratic leader, dropped dead on
the tracks of the Chicago and Northwest
ern railroad. When Abraham Lincoln

would give $1O0 if it was true. In less
time than it takes to tell a mob was
formed and rope secured with which to
hang him, but he was hustled away and
escaped uninjured. Miller always con-
tended that he did nv make the remark,
but it was a narrow escape, and was
due to the high tension of the country at
the time. This made Miller famous in
the State in those days

Engineers said to be representing English capitalists have been making a thorough examination of the Concheno mines and it is re liabiy stated that experts are examin- ing the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber company holdings.
 Presumably, these examinations are coming through the efforts of Judge A. B. Fall who has charge of the affairs of Col. Greene So far there Is nothing definite given out regarding the plans of resuscitation, but apparently the plan so far as Greene Gold-Silver com pany is concerned is to put the mines into different companies.
 The creditors of. those concerns in this city and state have been very pa- tient with the above named companies and there is q general hope that Col. Greene and Judge Fall will put them through and settle all liabilities. There is much complaint. however and has been for 8 long time, that Greene's representatives have treated local creditors with very scant courtesy.
