CHAPTER XxxV.
The Curtain Fails.

Bronzed by months of scouting on
those northern plains. a graver, older
look upon his face, and the bars of a
captain grazing the shoulders of his
new cavalry jacket, Donald Brant
trotted down the stage road bordering
the Bear Water, his heart alternating
between hope and dread.
The familiar yellow house at the
crossroads appeared so unattractive
as to suggest the thought that Nadia
must have been inexpressibly lonely
during those months of waiting. He
knocked at the sun-warped door
Without delay it was flung open. and
a vision of flushed face and snowy
drapery confronted him.
Why, Lieut. Brant! was never
more surprised in my life. Do, pray,
come right in. Yes, Nadia is here.
and 1 will have her sent for at once.
Oh, Howard, this is Lieut. Brant. lust

How very nice that he should hsppen
to arrive just at this time. isn't it,"
The young officer silently accented
Mr.. Wynkoop's extended hand and
found a convenient chair, as Miss
Spencer FASTENED from the room to
announce his arrival.
Why Just at this timer" he uues-
toned.
Mr.. Wynkoop cleared his throat.
"Why--why. you see, we are to be
married this evening-Miss Spencer
and myself. We shall be so delighted
to have you witness the ceremony. 1t

my people insist upon making quite
an affair out of the occasion-phoebe

KIha Toffa's PASSING.

Impressive descriptions come to
hand, says the New York Sun, of the
funeral of King Toffa, 80 years ruler
Of Porto Novo, West Africa, bright
and shining light in his way, especial
ly when compared with such mis-
creants as his former neighbors. the
ex-kings Of Dahomey. Good and peace
able African kings are no. likely to be
much in the public eye, but such po-
tentates are rare birds along the
Guinea coast, and Toffa's isolation in
this respect made him rather conspic-
uous. So French soldiery turned out
to honor his funeral, the governor Of
the colony, the resident of the protec-
torate, and other functionaries and
merchants joined the long procession
that would have been imposing even

own family. The 300 widows and the
numerous progeny left to mourn him
were all in line, adding their lamenta-
tons to those Of thousands of his sub
1ects who knelt beside the road to the
tomb. 1t takes large grave to hold
all things that a king of Toffa's i'm
portapce may need in the other
world. Everything from wine to
matches and candles, including 10000
francs in silver, went into the tomb
with his body. This silver is not lost
to the world. The royal shade will
need only the ghosts of the substan-
tials that surround his ashes, and in
four years from the day of his inter-
ment the silver is to be dug up to pay
the expenses of a memorial fete in
honor of good Toffa.

With ammunition gone, the HELPLESS
victims could meet that mighty on
rushing torrent only with dubbed
guns, for one instant of desperate
struggle. Shoulder to shoulder, in
ever-contracting circle, officers and
men stood shielding their commander
to the last. Twenty or 80 made a de-
spairing dash, in a vain endeayor to
burst through the red enveloping
lines, only to be tomahawked or shot:
but the most remained, thin strug-

Then came the inevitable end. The
red waves surged completely across
the crest, no white man left alive
upon the field. They had fought
good fight; they had kept the faith.
Two days later, having relieved
Reno from his unpleasant predica-
ment in the valley, Terry's and Glib

and emerged upon the stricken field.
In lines of motionless dead they read
the fearful story; and there they

district there is a strong feeling
against him, growing out of the sale
of certain mining stocks. BY some
manipulation, farmers who purchased
stock from Peake claim that the trans

much to their disadvantage. Several
suits have been begun and others

The sentiment Of the convention
was unanimously In favor of the re-

our candidate for representative, and
to uphold him in his fight to secure
just reapportionmet of the state.
This matter of correcting the outrag-

have been corrected by the party be-
fore, but Mr.. Parrish is now trying
to nave it put in the state platform
so there can be no getting away fro1
