BY WELDOH J. COBB. CHAPTER XXI Continued. "They will soon bef In a' new mode of attack," Mid the hermit, "but what we cannot toil until thoy begin operations. " This the savages lid an hour later. Darkness had coma down oyer the ravine, but the hermit stood at the window, and his keen eyos were fixed on the dim scents below. "I understand tlreir plans now," he said at last "What are they?" asked the scout "They ire trying to sealo thn cliff. "It Is almost perpendicular." "Still, mder the oover of "the darkness they hope to rer .-h us. " "They wi 1 not " "No. tine thing has prevented the success of their enterprise " "And that is Their discovery," replied the old hermit, grimly. As he siioke, Walford went to a corner of th cabin. Ho lowered some object by a rope from the window of the cabin a clniito later, He ignited a match nnd swung the object clciir or the window. It proved to be an immense opou lantern. Its rays, suddenly cast forth, illumined this space beneath them bright as day. It showed the savtiges in half a dozen places in the act of endeavoring to scale the cliff and reach :he refuge of ihelr enemies. Cries of rage and dismay escaped them, as the action of the hermit baffled their plans. Both Walford and the scout began firing at them and the Modocs retreated. The flames of the lantern soon died away, leaving the valley in darkness arain. "They senm to have abandoned the attack.', suggested the scout, after a long pause. "For the time teing. perhaps," replied Walford; 'but we shall have more troubla.wiSh them before the night is over." You thlr k so?" "I know it. Look there!" Both men peered curiously from the window. A naming streskof fire parted the darkness. "An arrow," said the scout "Exactly "Tipped with fire " "Yes." "They mean to bt.rn us ont " Walford laughed grimly. "If they can." Seel There are others. " Half a dozen fire arrows were shot upward from different points of the valley. Most ot those fell wide of their intended mark. Some shot over the cabin, Some struck th; cliff and were extinguished. Others described a circle and fell to the ground. Some, however, it was evident penetrate! the under surface of the exposed floor beneath their feet These they could not see. Walford seemed undisturbed at these opisodes. "Are yen not afraid?" asked the scout, finally. "Of what!" "Of the fire. " I do not bolfev'3 they can fire the cabin." "Why not?" "The sides and floor are damp and moss-covered. " "Ha! what aboun that" A decidedly smoky smell began to pervade the place. "The logs are certainly on fire," lemarked Ranger Rtlpb, "Well, when we are in danger we will retreat" "Where?" "To one of the roeks." "Is tlwre a way to leave here?" "Yes. "And :ach the valley?" Walford nodded assentingiy. He saw as he wutched fr m the window that a faint glow showed beneath the cabin, "They've done ! ," ho said, calmly. "Done what?" "Set the cabin on fire." "Then we had hotter leave here. "I sopose we had." "The 1 let us do so. " "In a moment Wait " "Wh-.re are you going?" To see that thf way is clear." Walfjrd left the hut on the side farthest from the mountain. Ratiger Ralph remained at the window, looking down at the valley. Evory moment the glare 'ncreased. Evidently the bottom of the cabin was on lire. The arrows of the Modncs hac ignited the floor. The scout could hear the flames crackl: ng fiercely. The smoke began to fill tb.3 cabin, atd he was impelled to retreat. Still he determined to await Walford retnrr. Suddenly an anxious sound startled and alsrmed the old scout There was a tear ng, crashing noise. The hut seemed to tock and quiver wildlj. The floor appeared to drop precipitately. In a flash the scout realized what had occurred. The tire had weakened the joists that held the floor in pla -e. These had been burned through, and the result promised a dire disaster to the scout He had just time to spring to one s'de as h.s saw what was about to transpire. He leached the door leading to the spot whera the tree bridge bad been, just as the loor gave way. With a crash it went hurtling to tho valley below. Triumphant all outs of demoniac glee arc- from the suv'ages. Tliey evpcted to the scout and the hermit dashed to p eces. Rtnger Ralph had est a; ed unhurt, however, and Walford was not In the cabin when the c isaster came The scout gained the rock ami hastened to get out of range and sight of the Indians Ir his precipi tate haste he stumbled and fell. He dropped over the edge of the cliff and landed on a ledge about twenty feet below. The fall made him ins aslble. When he awoke to consciousness it waf broad daylizht, and the valley was deserted. After s 'veral days of arduous endeavor to ba.tl'e the outlaw Dospard and to rtscue Inez Tracey, the sc at found hinself aiive, in peril, ant with nothing bei'ore him except complicated plots and i broken trail CKA.ITKK XXII V ON THE THAU- i One week after the occurrence of the events narrated lit the last chapter, a solitary horseman emerged from the last of a Serbs of lonely mountain passes and struck olt Into a fore-t I eyond which reached the isolated mining district of Gold Valley . The spci was located about one hundred miles south of Miners (iulch, and 1 although remote from any large business center, was prolific of numerous little settlement and mining cam. s. The horseman took a rapid but close survey of the landscape before he d -, crnded from the hills. "Yonder are the New Era mining ' camps," he mm mured. "It is here that : I expect to find Dyke Despard. For two days I have trat ed him, and I have reason to believe U at Danton, his accomplice. Is to meet him there and divide thuir plunder and leave the country. He certainly will not recognize me in this , diftguise. He shall not eseajte mo. He ' hall be punished for his many crimes.

Snako at the outlaws' stronghold In Lone Canyon, be had, as directed, gone at once to Miners Oulcb. Ho knew that It would-be dangerous and useless to attempt to find Inez, or tho scout with the hostile tribes around him. His loturn to the Gulch was not, therefore, a tetrcat, but a forced flight for safety Once B'rlvod thon', he aroused the natives by relating all 'bo exciting events of the preceding few Uays. The result was that a score of determined men set out the next day to resrue their Imperi ed companion. Hanger Ralph. Not a trace of the scon", Inez, the old hermit, or the Indian princess could be found. ' The Mcdocshad returned to their miial camp, where thoy, were so numerous that a journey thither would be use: ess. The bandits had been despersed or killed, and the disappointed Darrel C mld learn nothing of Desptrd or the surviving mouibers of tho I and. All the parties to the recent plot of the dosjierado had mysteriously anu strangely disappeared. Utterly dispirited tho young scout returned to Miners' Guleh. He hncl no means of knowing whether Innx Tracoy was a prisoner in tho hnnds of the Motlocs or was the 1 aptive of Despard He inclined to the latter bolief, however, and at last determined to act npon it Assuming that Despsr.i htld escaped, he resolvod to gain a trace of his whereabouts if possible. It was for this reason, knowing lite wi'y foe with whom he had to deal, that he disguised himself. He visited Lone Canyon, found the tavern in ruins, and ti e bandit stronghold entirely desortod. Thence he wont south, visiting all thn many mining camps tlong l'uel lo Rlvor. Ho pretended to be jt prospoctor, but kept a sharp lookout for some of the escaped outlaws. F.r ally. one day, ho met at a tavf-rn-a man whom he recognized as a former member of Despard's band. Front him he deftly learned that Despard and Danton had escaped the Modoes. Thoy were to meet at Dead Man's Gully in a few days. Despard was in hiding and Danton had gone after some hidden treasure. That afternoon Parrel arrived at the gully, where a tavern that was a general center for the miners was located. Darrel announced to the landlord that ho Intended to remain for several days, and secured a room at rite tavern. Th.'kt night and all the next diiy he haunted the bar-room of the place, keeping a sharp lookout for Despard He made many guarded In .uirles as to the outlaw, but could learn nothing definite concerning him. The next, evening, however, an episode occurred which indicated that his efforts to locate Despard were dest'ned to be rewarded with success at last It was just afte - dusk, and he was seated In a chair near the bar, when a stranger entered the p'aee. Tho others in the 100m, cngrossad in card p'nying and drinking, did not notice him, and Darre! himself only bsstowed a passing glance at him. The stranger lore a small sachet in his hand and wore a heavy sombrero that effectually shadowed his boarded face He addressed the landlord in 9. low tone. The moment he spoke Ilarrol started vo ont'y. "Danton!" he breathed, excitedly Ho had iustant'y recognized tho voice. He controlled his emotions, bowover, and listened intently. "Are you the landlord'.'" asked the disguised l.'anton "Yes. " "I was to meet a friend here. " "What is his name?" "Fu'rtado." "A Mexican?" "Yes. " "There's no one here of that name," said the landlord, "Then ho hasn't come yet I'll wait for him. Can you give mo a room?" -Yea " Danton p'aced a coin on the counter. "And send Fuertado to mo when he comes " "All right" ' Danton was 'ed to an apartment In the rear of tho bar-room by the landlord. Darrel Grey was keenly excited. He walked out into the npon air and reflected deeply. His onemies were nearly in his power. Tho disguised stranger was certainly Danton Th;- man Kuertalo ho had named was undoubtedly Dyke Despard. "What had I better do?" he mused. Darrel formed a quick resolution. He had made the acquaintance of one of the pr.ncipai mm of the piate the day previous, and had impressed h m favorably. His na ne was Hrown, and be was an exofficio Sh'ti I f of the district Darit l hastened at once to the cabin where he lived. Briefly he r.-ated the true object of his visit to Dead Man's Gully. The Sheriff listened interestedly. He had beard of Despard, and evidently bore liini no friendly fool.ngs. "Y0.1 want me to help you?" he said. "Ye," replied Darrol. "And arrest the man"" "At once.'' "On what charge?" "Train robbery and murdor. " "Have you any w tresses?" "Not here. " "That's It, you see. Despard has some friends among the regular miners." "Well?" "They would demand a speedy trial, and, as you have no witnesses, I doubt if you co ild convict Despard. " "Hut at Miners' Gulch his crimes are known. " "That is different. Now, I have a plan, " "Weli?" "Arrest Uim you 1 self. " "Alone?" "No: 1 will help you. We will capture him ,uiotlv and s.iirlt him away." ")6w?" "Will yon pav the oxpenses for a vehicle to convey him to the gu ch? "Yes. " "Then return to the hotel. " "And keep watch of the menV" "Kxactly." "And you?" "Dcr.eud upon my being on hand when the proper time com S. " "Agreed. " Darrel ret imed to the hotel His lirs', quest on was of the landlord. "Has your guest' friend come yet?" he asked, with affect qd carelessness. "The Mexican?" "Yes." "He just came. " "In the room yonder, 1 suppose. '' "Yes " ' Darrel went omsKle ugafn and walked around ihe house The shutters of the roe m occupied b. Danton and his eom1 a lions wore c 1 soil, however.

Darrel had regained his pre-ence of mind instantly. Drawing a revolver he sprang to tho floor His main attention was directed to Despard. Danton had taken the alarm quickly. Uefore Darrol could detain him he had gained the window. With a crash ho went through it, shutters and all. At that moment the rear door was opened. Drown, the Sheriff, stood on its thresho'd.

The system of responsible ministries, the Introduction of which Into onr own government has been advocated by certain theorists, would make of the I'resident of the I'nlted States much such a functionary as is a monarch in a constitutional country of Europe, as far as "influence with his own administration" is concerned. An amusing anecdote is told of Louis XVIII. of France. This inoffensi'.e monarch took breakfast one morning. Then ltis ministers called upon hlui. "Well," said the King, "how are the public affairs?" "Getting along very ni.icly. sire," said the ministers. "Hum! In that case. " said the King, "I think 1 will go and take a walk. " Next ' morning after breakfast tho ministers called again. "Well, how do tho public affairs got on to-day?" asked tho King. "Very badly indeed, sire," said the ministers. "Hum!" exclaimed the King, "in that ca e, I think I will go and take a walk!" Next day no ministers called on the King. "What has become of my ministry?" said the King, aftt'r breakfast. ".Sire," said the palace functionary who was in attendance, "Parliament has turi.cd out tho ministrv. " "Ah!" said the King, "then it's they who heve taken a walk this time, eh?"

The case being against his emp'oyer, tho prosecuting counsol hoped to got some damaging evidence from him liilly's daily employment was that of a carpenter, and he entered the witu -ss box in his ordinary work a day costume, very dirty and rather ragged. The opposition counsel did all In his power tj confuse "Mr. lirown," but that gentleman was not so easily thrown off his guard. During tho examination he was askod if the clothes he appeared in were his best. "Ah, sure, indeed and they are not, sir," said he. "Oh, then you have better clothes which you appear in on a Sunday?" "It's moighty thvue, sir." 'A white waistcoat, grav coat, kneebreeches, and smart ribbons?" "You've met me somewhere," said Hilly. "No," replied th.' barrister, "I have not; but sin e you confess that you have better clothes, are you not ashamed to appear in court in that disgraceful state?" "Not at all," said Hilly, pointing to the judge; "sure his lordsh'p's in his working dress, and I'm in mine." "Stand down, Mr. Hrown," was tho barrister's natural order after this.

MRS. POTTER PALMER.

Short Sketch and Ploturo ol tho President of the Board of I.Mly Btaaagera. 1 The women of tho United States are forvuimte in having po chnrminga representative ns Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago, on the Hoard of Managers for the World's Fair. As President of the Board of Lady Managers eho occupies ft very prominent position, and the eyes of tho world, so to speak, are upon her. In her official rapacity sho moeta the vmiou j representatives of other nations, and consequently It requires a woman of social as well as executive ubility. Sho has lately culortoiued various nota bilities at her house, allof whom must have taken away with them an agreeable impression of an American home, an American hostess, and n graceful, cultured, and charming woman. Mrs. Palmer ia a native of Louisville, Ky. Her maiden name wus Bertha Honore, and she was educated in a convent at Georgetown, D. C. She was married to Potter Palmer in 1871. Mrs. Palmer is acknowledged to be one of Chicago's most beautiful women, and the striking beauty of her clear-cut features has been effectively brought out by the artist in the excellent portrait hero presented. Here is shown the highest type of mechanical engraving the photo-zinc etching, which has now superseded nU of the old expensive methods. For a zinc etching the design is drawn from a photograph on white canibnnrd double the size wanted. This is photographed on zinc plate, and tho plule then put into m acid hath, which eats or etches away everything except tho lilies which are to appear on the cut Tho engraving process is altogether mechanical, and is, therefore, mechanically perfect, as is shown by the above portrait. Ail the daily and weekly newspaper illustrations! arc photo-zino etchings, and they have become so cheap in price that tvcll-mnde portraits like the above can now be had froi , the Ft. Wayne tlnd.) Newspaper Union for $2.50, while n cut like it by the old method of wood engraving would have cost $0 or $8. The Ft. Wayne Nowspnper Union will, upon request,' give full information ns to tho a-aking and cost of all kinds of zinci'tehiug illustrations. Spito'-Makli-aT Almost all the spools now made are prod need from birch wood, and the machinery used in their manufacture has been brought to such a degree of iierfeelion as to reduce their cost to "he lowest possible figure. The wood is first sawed into sticks four or five feet long and seven-eighths of an inch to three incites square, according to the intended size of the spool. These stick are thoroughly seasoned, twed into short blocks and dried in ;i hot air kiln, at t ie time they are sawed holes being bored perpendicularly through each block, which is set nn end under a rapidly-revolving longsliauked auger. At this stage one whirl of each little block against some small knives that are turning at lightning speed fashions it into a spool after the manner of the pattern provided, and this, too, at the rate of one a second for each set of knives A row of small lioys feed the spoolmaking machines by simply placing the blocks in a spout, selecting the best, and throwing out the knotty and defective stock. The machine is automatic, excepting the operation performed by the boys. After turning, the spools are put in a large drum and revolved rapidly until polished. King nnd Wa!klte-Stlck. A curious anecdote concerning a ring and a walking-stick is given in "Note.-tand Queries." A servant boy was sent into the town with a valuable ring, lie took it out of its box to admire it, and, passing over a plank bridge, let it tall on a muddy bank. Not being able to llnd it, he ran away to sea. finally settled in a colony, and made a large fortune, came back after many years, and bought the estate on which he had been a servant. One day, while walking over bis land with a friend, he came to the plank bridge, and there told his story. "1 could swear," said he, pushing his stick into the mud, "to the very spot on which the ring dropped." When ho withdraw the stick, the ring was on the end of it. A IJIsconl. A weary Congressman, who could "snore upon the flint," occupied a room adjoining a German musician's. "You will have to give me another room, I guess,'' said tho Congressman to the hotel clerk. "What's the matter? Aren't you comfortable where you are?" "Well, not exactly. That Gorman musician in the next room and Ldon't get alone- well. Last night ho tooted away on his clarionet so that I thought I never would go to sleep. After I had cauglit a few winks I was awakened by a pot uding at my door. 'What's the matt 'r?' I asKed. 'Of you please.' said the ( ermnn, 'dot you vould schnoro of der Sii-i e key. You vas go from B flat to G, and it spoils der music.' " Boston Jour ml. Wlir Cain Escaped.
