Talbot has many friends in this city. Dr. and Mrs. Overstreet entertained last night at dinner at their home on east Seminary street. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Tucker, Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore, Mr. and Mrs. Donner, Dr. and Mrs. Seaman and Mr. and Mrs. Tilden. Tlie remains of Mrs. W. W. Adams, who died at her home In Carbon, ind. last Monday were brought here this morning for burial at Forest Hill cemetery. A number of friends and relatives accompanied the body here for burial.
only the grave of the girl be bad expected to welcome him. Standing there by the heaped earth, now covered with waving grass, he swore that he would not rest till he had killed Bugbee. Bugbee, tiudlug that Kansas was becoming too law abiding for further operations, crossed the line and went Into Colorado. He took with him seven or eight of his juyhawkors with a view
to operating
lines iu the region about Denver. Frost went to Denver and heard at once that the Bugbee gang was the terror of every road leading out of that town, but It was impossible to locate them. At one time they would operate on the route southward to Pike's peak and the next day would be beard of on the road leading southeastward into Indian Territory. Then within a week a robbery would be committed on the south fork of the Platte, and Bugbee would turn out to have led the robbers. No vigilance
committee could locate them.
Frost, who had been a cavalryman during the war, secured a horse and started for the last place the Bugbee gang had left their viMting cards. The country is au unbroken plain, and the young man could ride where he pleased, but so could the road agents, and it was more difficult to bend them off than if they had had to travel only
by the roads.
After a mouth’s chase Frost tracked the gang to a point within the entrance of the canyon directly west and about twenty miles from Denver. Frost rode Into Golden City one evening. fifteen miles west of Denver, and while eating bis supper heard a miner who had come down from Empire tell
EASY HOSPITALITY.
Food
In tha
Abundance In Virginia Seventeenth Century.
Few countries of the world have possessed so abundant and varied a supply of food ns Virginia during the seventeenth century. This partly'explains, writes P A. Bruce iu “Social Life In Virginia In the Seventeenth Century.” the hospitable disposition of the people even in those early times. The herds of cattle, which ran almost wild, afforded an Inexhaustible supply of milk, butter, cheese, veal and beef. Deer were shot in such numbers that people cared little for venison. So abundant were chickens that they were not included in the inventories of persona! estates. No planter was so badly off that he could not have a fowl
on his table at dinner.
Vast flocks cf w ild ducks and geese frequented the rivers and bays and were looked on ns the least expensive portion of the food which the Virginians had to procure. Fish of the most delicate and nourishing varieties were caught with hook or net Oysters and
sholltish could bo scraped up by tie
of meeting a prospecting party of eight bushel from the bottom of the nearest
men in camp five miles up the canyon • • ■

Frost. The two made up a [tarty consisting of young veterans and three other picked men, six In all, and, taking with them certain apparel they intended to use, rode out in the early
morning to Golden City.
At noon the Denver coach came along, and tlie passengers alighted for dinner. When they were about to reenter the coach Frost asked them to remain awhile at the tavern, since he had a party of friends with him who wished to take a short ride. The passengers, consisting of both men and women, demurred, but tlie riding party were well armed, and they stepped aboard, each with ids baggage, a bun-
dle done up iu brown paper.
As soon as they were out of sight from the tavern a halt was made, the driver informed that they expected the coach to be robbed, and four of the men. opening their bundles, put on women's attire. Then the coach was driven on. Frost, dressed as a woman, sat next tlie door, a Derringer pistol in each hand. Striker sat next the other door with two revolvers concealed under the folds of the dress he wore. All bad their arms In some

Bad Night For the Show. Piloting an unknown show through a starving territory Is no cinch, but I have thought out a good idea. In anticipation of cacli engagement I am going to call out the reserves and when they are out they will be invited in. That will help till the house. You have heard of the various excuses for light business—“because the night is so dark.” etc. This is a hot
one:
“Young man.” said the local manager to the agent on hls first tour, “why do you bring your troupe here on n Saturday night? Don't you know you won't do any trade?” “What’s the difference between Saturday night and any other night?” asked the agent “Because everybody’s getting shaved.”—New York World.

A lady farmer planted a garden. She was very proud of her prospective pens, but when her husband asked If they were ripe she said. “Oh, they
haven’t come up yet!”
“Haven’t come up yet? Why, the followed by “Throw, season’s nearly over!”
up your hands!” The coach came to a dead stop, and two masked men opened tlie door, ordering the passengers to alight. Supposing Frost to be a woman, each robber took hold of an arm to help him. Ills arms were cro-.-Ml over his chest under his cloak. Sim* iily there was a double report
and the two robbers fell dead. Scarcely had Frost begun bis exit
from the coach when a woman emerged
“Yes,” she said, “lint I planted canned peas. I think they come np a lit-
tle late.”—New York Times.
A Keen Observer.
“Who was that fool you bowed to?”
“My husband.”
“Ob, I—er—I—humbly apologize. I”— “Never mind. I'm not angry. But what a keen observer you are!”—

* Like Unto Caesar. By J. LUDl-UM LEE. Copyright. 1907. by N. E. Daley i | w^-vvw-v vwvwwd Tbe giant steamship tossed and pitched. Tbe decks were wet with Bp ray from the angry waves, and you could count the passengers on deck on one band. Two husky men lurched against each other us they turned tlie corner, both muffled to their ears, puffing vigorously at their pipes to produce a welcome speck of warmth. “Beg pardon—didn't see you in this rotten fog,” said the younger of the
two.
“Rotten don’t describe it, sir. It's— well, I’ll tie hanged! My pipe went out in that collision, 1 guess. Got a match?” “Sure I have! But what good is it out here? A torch wouldn't stay lighted iu this wind. Come inside a minute and light her up.” They were back on deck in a moment and, ns so often happens on board ship. In that time seemed to have made friends. Arm in arm this time they braved the wind and weather. The older man was talking. “I suppose yoti think a man of my age ought to be iu his cabin a night like this. But, you see, my wife Is sick in one bunk and my daughter down and out in another. Guess you and I are about the only ones to venture out, aren’t we?” “Guess we are, sir, unless, of course, the girl with tlie sable coat is on deck Nothing keeps her below.” “Girl in sable coat. Who's she?” demanded the elderly man, hls attention somewhat aroused. “Well, I don't know. 8Iie Is the usual mystery found aboard a boat of tills character. Captain says slia's titled woman from the continent going over to see the States. Whoever she is, she's a stunner, old man. Here she is now,” be whispered ns the figure of u woman passed them. T!.e old gmitleiunn turned, but too late to see anything save the outline of a woman, clad in a long sable coat, which enveloped her from bead to heels. “Looks pretty good in the dark, young man. I'll ink** a better peek in tbe daylight, and in tbe meantime I guess I'll go below and look after ray slek. Good night, sir.” “Good night.” said tlie younger man. as he left Ids newly made friend at the compauionwny. Eaton Hollis, representing an English syndicate and bound for New York, was not ready to turn in. He bad no one below to look after and fell into a long, steady stride around tbe deck. He puffed at Ids pipe and wondered what the girl in the sable coat was doing. He didn’t want to appear officious, but he could not help wondering. and ns iie walked lie kept his eyes well open for tlie fur clad figure. He did not have to look long, for she passed him very soon. Try as he would he could find no plausible excuse for speaking to this evidently self reliant young woman of title, so on he strode. Just nmidship lie heard a voice—such a voice that today lie can shut his eyes and hear it in Ids dreams—saying: “Oh. I beg your pardon, lint would you help me to open this door? I simply cannot do it." He sprang to her side in an instant, but the door did not yield so easily. "Do you want to go in? You know the moon is just coming np, and I think the storm is all over." Hollis had grown bold of a sudden. “Well, really, I do not want to go in, but you know my maid is dreadfully ill, and it seems cruel to leave her alone,” answered the sweet voice. “Oh, bother the maid! Take my arm and let’s see how it goes driving double—you can fight the wind so much better with two abreast," urged Hollis, ns he extended his left arm. She looked up at the strong features and then at tlie glimmer of the moon breaking through the clouds, hesitated for Just a moment, then without a word took the proffered arm, and off they went. The next morning broke clear and bright, and the girl in sable had changed her raiment to a suit which bespoke the art of England's best tailor. That night her gown was of soft, clinging material which showed her figure to perfection, while the cloak tlint covered her shoulders was tbe envy of the women passengers. With every gown were bits of jewelry that seemed to belong to them and to Just suit her who wore the gorgeous raiment Hollis stared ns Tlid the rest, then shut his eyes and lived over again the walk of the night before, with her frail arm clinging close to hls strong one and that sweet, distracting voice chatting in his ear. He started up os from a reverie as the purser passed him. Hollis offered him a cigar. 1 say, purser, who’s the woman over there Hint nobody speaks to and every woman on the ship envies for her clothes?” “Oh. that is the Countess of Brienne Beautiful creature. Isn’t she? Gad, but she'd make a good show piece for some of those new# rich Americans!” he murmured ns he passed on with the cigar m his mouth. Hollis turned in disgust at the last remark, to Ik? confronted bv the "lieau tiful creature." Ill, attempt at au ex. plana tion was cut short by her rippling laugh. . “Oh. don't!" she cried laughingly. “I was ti.-Uled to death to hear it. You ®ee I had no idea I was going so well -making such a big hit, ns it were. I
»m going o*t for a few turns on deck" iball it be single or double breasted?" she asked naively. “Don’t you want to change your wraps?” suggested Hollis as he glanced at the beautiful drapery that was about her. "Oh. no, it doesn’t matter,” careless. |y remarked the countess. They circled the deck only once, because tlie crowd was inconveniently large, and soon they were seated side by side in their chairs. The air was chilly, and Hollis offered to go for extra wraps, hut just then the maid came up and asked If she would 1* needed again that night. The countess asked for a coat. The pale faced servant soon returned and heedlessly threw tlie sable lined wrap over tbe feet of her mistress. Hollis was dumfounded with tills display of extravagance, yet stared In blind adoration at bis com-
panion.
“1 suppose all men are fools,” he ventured to rerarak. “Oh, are they?” answered the countess. with a ring of disappointment In her voice. “You see, I am very young and I don’t know, but now you are a man of tbe world, a man of expertence, and 1 suppose you know [ thought some day I might meet a man who was not a fool, and then I should fall In love with him." “Lucky man,” murmured Hollis, hut his throat seemed to go dry and hls pipe went out. “Do you think I urn a
fool?"
“Well, really, I don't know you so very' well, but I think you're dreadfully stupid. You seem to have so little to say." Hollis was just going to say something. but lie looked at the snide coat and the beautifully gowned figure of the woman within it and lie closed hls lips firmly. Thereafter they met at rare intervals—not ofteuer than Hollis could help, and the day tbe boat docked In New York he went over to say goodby. "I wish I could call—Just once,” he pleaded us she hesitated. “This Is my card. Mr. Hollis, and If you will come—you may," she added ns she handed him a neat little envelope with a card inclosed. "Hollis slipped in into his pocket and once more said goodby to hls lady with tlie silvery voice. How queer that sounded, "if you will come—you may.” What had she meant? The next night Hollis balled a hansom at Hie corner of ids hotel and gave the driver the address. When they drew up In front of a little apartment house he wondered, but went in. Everythlng connected w ith the girl seemed a mystery, so lie did not hesitate. The card had read, “Ask for Miss Tousley.” lie did so. and the maid said she would be lu directly He glanced about the room. Nothing elegant, yet of exquisite refinement He looked at the pictures. There she was as a child, here ns a young girl, and there again she was standing lu rtesb and blood Ui tlie door with two hands outstretched. Somehow she seemed more real, more alive than ever tiefore as she held out her tiauds, and he took them. She was dressed in some simple gown, and they sat on the couch together while he told her of his hopeless love, his longing for her and of his salary of a few thousand a year. “My daollug, I want you, and by heavens, I’ll have you, even If you are a countess! Won’t you let me try to win you? Ob, if you only knew-if you only knew!" “1 know too well,” the sweet voice said. “But I’m not a countess at all. I’m a poor girl, and my name Is Tousley. Just Sarah Tousley. There's nothing royal about that, is there? I am not a countess, and all those fine clothes were not mine. You see, we lost nlf our money, and I had to do something. Well, I could speak French and knew good clothes, so a big firm sent me over to buy model gowns. I wore them to avoid duty. Of course I soiled them some, but tlie model was Just ns good to copy, and—oh. please, please don't hold me so tight, dear," she almost sung into bis ear. But he did not seem to hear her. He was saying to himself over and over
again:
“Not the Countess of Brienne, but Mrs. Eaton Hollis.”
