I hurried at oncc to the garden, mad that he should slip out of my dutches like that, and looking through the window I saw him lying in his bed, •with his sons on each side of him. I'd have como through and taken my chanco with the three of them, only even as I looked at him his jaw dropped, and I knew that he was gone. I got into his room that same night, though, and I searched his papers to see if there was any Mvord of where he had hidden our jewels. There was not a line, however, so I camo away, bitter and savage as a man could ibe. Before I left I bethought me that if I ever met my Sikh friends again it would he £i satisfaction to know that I had left sxunc mark of our hatred, so I scrawled d.'Avn the sign of the four of us, as it had on the chart, and I pinned it on his K?nm. It was too much that he should bo tnYcn to the grave without some token Ironi the men whom he had robbed and jhsioojed. "Wo earned a living at this time by my Jcs7-iLitiiig poor Tonga at fairs and other *s."h places as the black cannibal. He ivwild eat raw meat and dance his war «Sar.ce, so w» always had a hatful of pen-uiie-i after a (lay's work. I still heard all the news from I'on die her ry Lodge, and for suicne years there was no news to hear, cxthat they were hunting for the treasure. At, last, however, came what we had TVii:i.ed for so long. The treasure hud been jfoi.Fid It was up at the top of the house, SU Air. Bartholomew Sholto's chemical laSW7Jvtory. I came at once and had a look at xhc place, but I could not see how, with any wooden leg, I was to make my way up in it. I learned, however, about a trapdoor in the roof, and also about Mr. Sholto'si supper hour. It seemed to me that I ccmiJd manage the thing easily through *yo.-:iga. I brought him out with mo with. si long rope wound round his waist. IIo froiiM climb like a cat, and he soon mado Ads way through the roof but, as ill luck •would have it, Bartholomew Sholto was still in the room, to his cost. "Tonga thought he had done something vett clever in killing him, for when I «r.iiie up by the rope I found him strutting jafcasut as proud as a peacock. Very much surprised was he when I made at him with •ffhs rope's end and cursed him for a little Mood thirsty imp. I took the treasure box amd let it down and then slid down myffidf., having first left the sign of the four the table, to show that the jewels &«<? coiiiR back at last to those who had jnuwt, right to them. Tonga then pulled tup ttie rope, closed the window and mado aiff the way that ho had come. "J. don't know that I have anything else 3fiiTsell you. I had heard a waterman speak «f the speed of .Smith's launch, the An2Nisr.i, so I thought she would be a handy «Tust for our escape. I engaged with old Stijjith and was to give him a big sum if 2he fot us safe to our ship. lie knew, no doubt, that there was some screw loose, fet-:. he was not in our secrets. All this is alio truth, and if I tell it to you, gentle •j&cw. it is not to amuso you—l'or you have done mo a very good turn-—hut it is &ec".use I believe the best defense I can aAtw.e is just to hold back nothing, but let ml2 Che world know how badly I have myFCi2 iwen served by Major .Sholto and how znmtceiit I am of the death of his son.

"Yes," lie answered, ''there are in me tho makings of a very fine loafer and also of a pretty spry sort of fellow. I often think of those lines of old Goethe: 'Sehade, dass die Natur nur einen Menschcn a us Dir sehaf, Dcnn zum wuerdipen Mann war und zum

THE END.

-s Correct Visiting Card Etiquette. It is moro comfortablo for callers when they arrive at a house and find tho mistress already receiving guests to send in their cards by the maid if they have any doubt as to the hostess immediately recognizing them. In large cities, where women havo a great number of formal ac- I quaintances, it is not always possible for I a hostess to immediately recall the name I of a guest, although she may recognize her at once as some one whom sho ought to know. If the second caller is an intimato friend and has no doubt as to her immcdiate recognition, she may tell the maid that she need not announce her, in which case the maid will drop the card into the bowl, which, usually stands beside the card tray on the hall table. P. P. C. cards slum Id be left on tho occasion of a long absence of over three months, on leaving town at the close of the season, on leaving the neighborhood where you have resided for years or where you have resided for months and sometimes only for weeks, but not when changing houses in the same neighborhood. The words pour prendre conge signify to take leave, and when good by is not intended, and future meetings are anticipated, there is no ostensible motive for leaving P. P. C. cards.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Not Real Enough.

The stago manager of a company that played in Washington once is one of tlioso men who havo never yet expressed unqualified approval of anything in the heavens above, in'the earth beneath or in the waters under the earth. Ho was out with a company last year, playing melodrama. In tho second act of tho piece there is a terrilic storm, and there were always turmoil and trouble about that storm. The stage manager never liked the way it was done. One night his company was playing in St. Joseph, Mo., which, as every player knows, has one of tho best equipped theaters in tho country. When the storm came, the man at the sheet iron fairly made tho welkin crack. The stago manager frowned. Just then there came a terrific burst of thunder from a real storm outside. "Not a bit liko it, not a bit liko itl" yelled the stago manager. "Why, that's real thunder!" ventured an actor. "That's all right," responded the stage manager, "it's not a bit like it. That sort of thing may go in heaven, but it won't do in this theater."—Washington Post.

Vinegar Drinking.

"Oneof the most ditiicuit habits to cure is that of drinking vinegar," said Dr. L. C. Aiken. "A good many women drink vinegar for tho complexion, and in soi.:o cases it creates a craving for it even more insatiable than that for liquor. As tho habit grows the victim is no longer contented with ordinary vinegar, but deinrnds it stronger and stronger until they drink acetic acid with very little dilution. It burns out tho stomach within a very few years, and it is seldom that a vinegar iiend lives even until middle age. It 11 be detected by the peculiar pallor of tho countenance, but no antidote lias ever been discovered by which the habit can bo cured."—Cincinnati Enquirer.

HI. le Iesseps' Honesty.

From Suez remained to Ferdinand do Lesseps one founder's share bought with his wife's dowry. From Panama ho emerged by selling that founder's share in order to pay to the liquidator 675,000 francs as final amends for his mistake. Up to the very last he placed all his savings as well as those of his wife and children in Panama bonds, and he would now have left his family quite without re-! sources if tho Suez Canal company had not set apart for them a sum which saves them from destitution. Those facts, vouched for by the Paris correspondent of the London Times, will weigh in the balance of historical justice.—Paris Herald.

FARMERS BELT

IN THE COLORADO RAIN FACING STARVATION.

Terrible Sufferings Described by an .Eyewitness—Famine Stricken Live Stock. Children Going ISarcfoot In Freezing

Weather—Horrors of the IV i//ard.

[Special Correspondence

De^vek,

March o.—Your correspondent

has just iinished a ten days' trip through the drought stricken region of eastern Colorado, where the condition of.tho people of the farming districts was found to bo even worse, than had been reported.

Tho district affected by the drought is the extreme eastern end, known as tho "rain belt," from the fact that tho farmers there depend wholly upon the fall of rain for the maturing of their crops, a distinction from tho irrigated portion of the state. The rain belt properly includes 11 counties—Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips, Washington, Y7uina, Kit Carson, Lin-

DESERTED SODIIOI'SE.

:oln, Cheyenne, Baca, Kiowa and the eastern part of Arapahoe. This district cmbraces several million acres of land, or about one-fifth of the state.

When tho rainfall is adequate, tho yield every kind of crop is not excelled anywhere. Tho land will produce as hf^h as 75 bushels of oats to tho acre, and other grains grow proportionately hence it is that the unfortunate farmers hold on with such tenacity, hoping for a favorable season

All They Own.

Most of them own a quarter section of land, which represents their entire earthly possessions, but owing to the failures of the past two years this land has depreciated in value until today it cannot be sold at any price. Tho mortgages exceed its value, and the farmers are penniless. They can no longer borrow upon anything they possess, and two successive years of drought havo left them without any kind I of feed for their stock or means for supply-

ing their own families. Tho poor stock arc as much an objcct for pity as the people, for they arc obliged to remain out of doors through all kinds of weather and shift entirely for themselves. Their only means of subsistence is the dried up scanty buffalo grass, and much of tho time sinco January the plains have been covered with snow several inches deep. In a recent fearful blizzard, which continued without abatement for over a day and night, tho horses and cattle were unablo to get either a mouthful of water or a single bito of grass. With tho mercury from 20 to iJO degrees below zero and the wind blowing a furious gale the condition of tho plains animals was helpless and pitiful. Many perished of cold and starvation. A large number of families depended upon their I cows for subsistence, but the exposure and scarcity of food caused most of them to go dry. Large families are the rule among the "rain belters," and it is a usual thing to find anywhere from six to nine littlo I ones huddled around the cook stove in shanty or dugout.

As there is no wood to bo had on these arid plains, the farmers aro compelled to keep warm by burning manure. Owing to tlie severity of the winter, which is the worst experienced for a dozen years in the Kocky mountain region, oven this supply has given out, and many families would I undoubtedly have frozen but for tho arrival of timely assistance from the outside.

Timely Assistance.

"The situation here is extremely criticai." said a member of the relief committee at Akron, Washington county, to me. I

Whole families would havo perished from starvation in this locality had not timely aid arrived."

At one hovel near .Akron, visited during the coldest, '-''eather in February, a half starved cow was observed leaning against the house for support. She appeared to havo barely enough life left in her to keep I on her feet. Yet this cow was one of the main supports of a family of several childron found inside the house. Filtering the place, the mother, a wan, sickly looking woman, was found with a young ha be in her arms, tho infant sucking at a bottle whoso contents were milk so thin and blue I as to be wholly unfit for use. On request the woman showed the visitor her stock of supplies for the table. All sho had in the world for the sustenance of herself and little flock was a few crusts of dry, hard bread. The woman, with tears in her eyes and with faltering voice, told how her busband had gone miles through tho snow to

beg a little bird. This, sho said, they ate, spreading it on the dry bread instead of butter.

Destitution In Yuma.

The man was silent, and his eyes wandered out over the vast prairie, covered as far as tho eye could reach with six inches of hardened snow. "I don't know," he roplied sadly, with a sigh. "I don't know—unless I had dug the roots of sagebrush."

None of the five children was able to venture out of doors by reason of insufficient clothing. This family lives in a combination liouso, half framo shanty and a sleeping apartment in a dugout. The sove-n spend their days in ono room, 10 by 12, with a ceiling not over seven feet high, which serves as sitting room, dining room and kitchen. The only heat for the two apartments is furnished by an old cook stovo. There is but ono window in this room.

Tho dugout is in the rear of the framo shanty, and all that is visible of it from tho outside is a sod roof, the sleeping room being wholly underground. One small window at tho far end furnishes tho sickly light that pervades tho gloomy placo. This chamber is 10 feet wide and 12 feet long and contains two squalid beds. Tho air in it is foul and unwholesome, and I was glad to get out. Tho dugout, however, has ono advantage—it is protected from tho fiorco winds that sweep down from tho north across the open prairio. The sodhouses also that aro very common on these arid plains, when properly conKtructed, have thick, solid walls that oppose an impenetrable harrier to the borean blasts.

Tho terrors of a blizzard on theso plains

I visited a family of seven near Yuma, the county se:.t of Yuma county. The fatlier had just secured a few bushels of coal from the relief committee. "What would you have done for fuel if I you had not secured coal from the relief I committee?" I asked. I

cannot l.vo appreciated by those who have never experienced one. After being through such a storm ono can sympathize much more heartily with the poorly nourished, poorly clothed plains people. It was my fortune to bo overtaken by tho worst blizzard of the present winter while at Holyoke, PJiillips county, early in February.

Caught In the Blizzard.

J. During the night of my arrival there tho wind aroso to a terrific gale. Holyoke was storm swept. Tho two story framo hotel rocked and trembled in the arms of the tempest, whilo the guests, unablo to sleep, wondered if tho building would not be picked up and carried away. The air was filled with whirling snow as fine as flour that sifted through cracks and crannies so small that their existence had never been suspected. At 10 o'clock the next day not a living soul was visible in the town of Holyoke. Business was entirely suspended. Not a dog or an animal of any kind was in sight. People wero busy indoors endeavoring to keep warm. A guest at the hotel ventured out and froze ono of his ears before he had gone a square. For 130 hours tho blizzard raged with unabated fury, while the mercury steadily declined to 30 degrees below zero. During the day several small bunches of half frozen cattle passed through the town, drifting helplessly before tho gale, vainly seeking a shelter they could not find. The snow had been beaten into their hides by the pitiless blasts and frozen into a solid mass. At such times theso half fed, feeble animals drift in tho teeth of tho wind until finally, far out on the prairie, they strand against a barbed wiro fenco. Unable to go either backward or forward, they stand in one place until they freeze in their tracks. During tho early part of February tho cold on the plains ranged from zero to 20 and iiO degrees below. A number of people frozo to death, and many who did not dio of exposure froze hands, feet and faces.

One man told mo that his brother-in-law was compelled to eat the llesh of prairio dogs to keep from starving, and instances of tho most intense suffering from cold and hunger were to bo met on every side. Ono family of nine children were found, all of whom wero barefooted. A number of instances came to light where children went to school with their feet protected solely by wrappings of gunny sacks.

Deserted Farms.

At somo points along tho Cheyenne branch of tho Burlington and Missouri railway, in eastern Logan and through Phillips county, 1 stood and looked around the entire cirelo of horizon, and nothing could bo seen in any direction but deserted houses. In tho foreground, unroofed and crumbling into ruin, would bo an old sodhouse, often with fragments of vehicles or farming implements lying near it in the snow, where they had been left to rot by tho discouraged and bankrupt farmer.

Many men camo into tho rain belt a few years ago happy in tho possession of several thousands of dollars and left it penniless. The merchants in tho small towns who trusted them are, many of them, tottering on the verge of ruin. Money can bo borrowed only at extortionate rates. Yet in tho face of all these discouragements tho farmers who still hang on to their possessions in the rain belt buikl their hopes on an abundant crop next summer and even threatened to tar and feather tho agent of a humane society who visited the belt and wanted to deport them to other places. They told me that their only liopo was in raising a crop this year. They said everything they had in tho world was centered there, and they did not propose to leave it. One farmer said to mo that he would be willing to leave if ho knew where to go, but that in all tho adjoining states there was suffering from drought, and he thought, it would bo jumping from tho frying pan into the fire to move away. lie eited instances of neighboring farmers who had left, and who wero worse off than beforo and wished themselves back.

Many fitiil Hopeful.

"All tho signs," said lie, "point to a good year. Altera very cold, winter, with lots of snow, wo always havo a big yield, and I believe it will como our way this season."

Nearly every firmer in the belt, however, will have to be supplied by tho state and liberal outsiders with seed grain. Tho state appropriation of ^21,000 for this purpose, scattered over so many counties, will give each farmer but a meager apportionment, and emissaries sent out by the farmers are soliciting more grain in the irrigated portions of the state, where the crops never f- il, and in eastern states. Ill one county they told me that the state appropriation would furnish only about a,000 bushels of wheat, whereas 40,000 bushels would be necessary for a full seeding.

Colorado, with thousands of sufferers, was tardy making known her wants, insomuch tb it Nebraska had received $1,00(1,000 worth of supplies before Colorado had a dollar. The rain belters are so absolutely poverty stricken that they will havo to be helped until the* next harvest comes. They cannot procure even tho nec-

ossarics of life. Aid has como from nil over tho state, and a few cars of provisions havo been received from philanthropic people in the east, but still tho cries of tho needy como up from all of the stricken counties.

Talcs of Suffering.

Tho stories of distress aro not magnified, as I havo learned by actual observation. At Holyoke I talked to tho father of a family of fivo children, who had walked 21 miles across the plains with tho mercury bolow zero to sceuro food and clothes for his perishing offspring. His faco was a picturo of distress, so pinohoil and wrinkled and wan as to need no further corroboration of his story. IIo said his horses wero so weak that ho could walk tho distance sooner than they could draw him.

At Akron I saw a strong man, tho treasurer of ono of tho counties on tho western slope of tho Rocky mountains, who, lod by his own kind heart, had journeyed 500 miles across the continental dividoat dead of winter to distribute two carloads of supplies, raised by his own exertions, burst into tears and choke witl* emotion until ho could no longer talk whilo telling tho story of suffering women and children ho had seen in Ills drives through Washington county.
