They stood in the doorway together,
two rugged, staiwart figures, different
in blood and birth and every other
thing, yet brothers withal whom the
ebb and flow of the far places had
thrown together and now drew apart
again. And they were sad, these two,
for their love was deeper than comes
to other people, and they knew this
side by side, two dumb, sorrowful men,
until they were addressed by a person
who hurried from the town.
He came as an apparition bearing
the voice of "No Creek Lee. the min

whiskers as to be a pallid white, but
lack of adornment ended at this point,
and the rest was overladen wondrOus-

brown, half white face the long, red
nose of Lee ran out. Beside it rolled
his lonesome eye, alive with excite

He came up with a strut, illumining
the landscape, and inquired:
"Well, how do l look?"
"I'm darned If l know" said Gale.

When they had done he turned and
took her reverently in his arms and
went and stood beside Gale and the

simply:

The old man stopped and for the
first time in her memory pressed his
lips to hers, then went out into the
sunlight, where he might be alone
with himself and the memory of that
other Merridy.
The first word of the wedding was
borne by Father Barnum, who went
alone to the cabin where the girls ia

He was there a long time alone with

UTAH VIEW OF QUARANTINE.

Sheepmen of Utah scored a VIC
tory over the Nevada authorities re-
Gently when the latter attempted to
prevent Utah sheep from entering Me-
vada ranges on the ground that the
spread of the lip asd leg disease was
likely to result.
Anticipating a quarantine, Utah
fiockmasters made an early start, and
more than 100000 sheep crossed the
line before the inspectors arrived to
enforce the order Realizing that
they had been beaten, the Nevada
officials permitted several thousand
sheep to enter later.

A Quincy mail carrier who for TWEEN
ty years had been one OF the most
trusted men In the service. has fallen
from grace, being caught robbing the
mails. The following story of his
fall, appears in one of the Quincy
evening papers OF last evening.
Frank n A. Henry. for many years
one of the most trusted employees OF
the Quincy post office as letter car
rier, was arrested this morning short
~ before noon by Deputy q. s. Mar

who arrived in the city yesterday
morning, and going Immediately to the
post Office Mr. Clark informed Post
master Wilcox that the continued
missing of mails reported from this
city had been traced to Frank Henry's
route.
Postmaster Wilcox could not be-
lieve such report, for he had always
placed the utmost confidence in Hen
ry, in his honesty and capabilities.
and said he would be greatly shocked
if the trouble was located with Frank
Henry.
The inspectors began work and this
morning prepared decoy letter In
which they placed four 81 bills and
two 50 bills. and addressed the letter
to a st. Louis house, mailing same
at the st. James hotel.
The inspectors then returned to the
postofiice to await developments and
it was not long before Henry returned
to the office and emptied his mail
matter to go out on trains. In few
minutes the inspectors had the letter
they had mailed at the hotel and made
the discovery that the envelope had
been unsealed and then sealed again
On opening the letter they made the
discovery that the bills had been re-
moved.
Henry was called into the postmas-
ter's private office before the inspec-
tors and at first protested his inno-
cence, denying taking a,e- ey from the
mails, whereupon he was confronted
with the letter he had just handled
and broke down.
Henry confesses.
Henry then confessed that he had
unsealed the letter and had changed
the bills at Tom Quin1an's saloon for
five dollar note and three silver
dollars. He was then searched and
between $50 and $50 was found ON his
person
In the meantime. one of the inspec-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 24.-
With a view to enabling anyone to de-
termine the denomination of postage
stamp at a glance, Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock has decided to have
printed as an experiment, the 10 cent
stamp in rich brown ink on yellow
paper. II the experiment proves
successful, other denominations will
be included. Here there has been
much controversy over the colors of
the various denominations of stamps
because of the use of inks of different
shades of the same colors.

EXPLORERS CLUB EXPEL COOK
Claim That He Climbed Mount Nc
Kinley is Rejected Charged
With MiSstatements.

New York, December 24.-The
board Of governors, Of the Explorers
club, met today in executive session,
and standing in silence, voted with
bowed heads that DR.. Frederick A.
Cook be dropped from the rolls Of
the club for frauds practieed on its
members and on the public.
Coming hard upon the heels Of the
crushing verdict lately rendered by
the University Of Copenhagen, the ac-
ton of the Explorers club today is
the result of independent investiga-
1ions, which in now way touch upon
the Polar controversy, and the weight
Of its disapproval thus become cum
llative.
Preliminary to its vote Of expul-
sion, the board met to pass upon the
report Of its committee, which has
been investigating the validity Of Dr.
Cooks assertion that he reached the
summit of Mount Mckinley. This
committee, in concluding an ezhaus-
tive report, recommended that CDR
Cooks claim that he assembled the
summit of Mount Mckinley In 1906
be rejected by the Explorers club as
unworthy Of eredence.
The committees recommendation
was based on it's finding that cdr
Cook had repeatedly made statements
that have not been In aceond with
the facts, and that he had entered IN
to agreements which he has failed to
keep and that the misstatements and
broken agreements deal not only with
the matters appertaining to discovery
but to ordinary financial transactions,

statements made. by hin"
