By and by it began to be noticed that Jack was dropping still lower in the social scale. Has orders at the hotel bar were more frequent, but less costly; his clothes were a triile seedy ; his boots did not shine as of yore, and his hat, that faithful thermometer of a man's social condition, indicated a loweriifg of the roan's nature both social and moral. Still he carried himself with the same .easy, insolent grace, laughed grimly at his own cutting remarks, and dofTed his battered head gear with the same astonishing expression of motion. The first dim report that had clouded Jack's social horizon in Silvertown had been confirmed by a later statement that Ms wife was a beautiful and accomplished woman, and that Jack had been a member of the first circles of Eastern society. Further than this the mystery had remained unexplained, and the most subtle and ingenious methods of quizzing and cross-questioning had failed to elicit any further information from Jack, who scented anything like intrusive inquisitiveness afar off, and with his cool effrontery generally managed to leave his discomfited questioner the subject of the crowd's amused derision. Finally Jack withdrew himself more and mere from the "hale fellows, well met," who had been first to drink his nine and laugh at his jokes as long as his mcney had been as free and easy as his glib tongue, and, too proud to receive as freely as he had given, affected a new fondness for hunting and fishing,' and absented himself from the town for dajs and weeks together, camping out alone, stopping now and then at a mining cr.mp, striking up acquaintance with strollirg bands of friendly Indians, adapting himself with an easy familiarity to all manner of people and circum- ; Et.ir.ccs. Although his half-civilized j are: 5 r.ve him a brigandish appearance, j and his unkempt hair and beard and j finger-nails deeply dressed in mourn- j lrg L td long ago marked mm as too low ) even for the scorn of the doctor's wife j and the Judge's daughters, and his wandcrirg life had left its rude impress j - on his life and manners, yet he had become a kind of institution in the little tnn-n an A ts'f.a loth fr follow tllfl leadinff cf his own erratic will with few or no questionings as to whither they were tending.

Le th her J j Jack, with a 1 . u 1 . : ; d curse at her impudence, j.tuck the! iter in his pocket and walked unconcernedly away. A fi ''V f I lis 4 r i : T rf- ,'1 1 mrTOCCl . I "-t"- i ble averred that- Jack's countenance j changed, and his hand trembled as he held it out for the letter, but there was a difference of cpiuion on this point. After that followed one or two more letters in a pretty, girlish hand; and, although no answers were returned, at least through the Silvertown postomce, yet some of the more sagacious of the gossips did not hesitate to express as, their careful and candid opinion that Jack Selwyn would not care for a twen-ty-mile ride to the next post, if he could thereby keep inviolate the mystery of LIS llfn. ! his life. "Whether or not the observing ones were correct in their opinion in regard to Jack's facial expression on the memorable day that he received the first letter, it soon became evident that either that or some other cause had worked a wonderful change in the man. The old, carelessly-insolent manner vanished, and the face in repose was marked by the unmistakable dines of a deep grief. He spent less of his time in hunting and fishing and in lvingin the soft grass in front of his cabin enjoying his afternoon siesta in a cloud of fragrant smoke, j He came to the town more frequently, and his step lost its old, lazy lounge, and suggested the sudden awakening of a longdatent energy. He was once more the attraction and theme of farotables. Children who had grown up with an inbred abhorrence of " Old Jack Selwyn " began to regard him with respectful attention. Matronly mothers of two or three tow-headed urchins compared their old-time flirtations, and even the sedate old ladies, who had taken to lace caps and the relating of witticisms of their respective grandchildren, began to look with something of respect upon this man who evidently had, for some indefinable reason, a new hold upon . the public attention. But Jack heeded neither criticism ncr comment, and pursued his way in unconscious or indifferent calmness. By-and-by a hint of the new mystery leaked out. The old silver mines which had started and named the town had sadly disappointed the expectations of of the company, and after a few years of indifferent success had been abandoned, j And now rne rumor, sirengxnenea oy tne fact that Jack Selwyn had obtained a grant of a piece of the wildest and apparently most worthless land -in the country, swept through the excited town that Jack Selwyn had struck a new lead, and his cabin at once became the rendezvous of townsmen, of straggling miners, and all the floating population " that alwav3 drift toward the latest ex citement. But Jack answered them 1 j n i ! nunwsrmav.unu " self to riattetown to rid himself of their j importunate questioning. A few days j later lie re turn en m compnaj itu &ev ; 1 .n t . i 1 x l i,.h;

Jack's qiuck ear had caught the sound, and he waited with feverish anxiety t know if it should stop at his own door ; and when Bill's familiar "Whoa up, thar, you blamed, long-eared critters," jarred the quiet of the evening air, not all his r,,e.u Arr.-r.n-r, ATOmn,. A - 1 1 1 i nursed imperative commands, backed by the doctor's authority, could keep his excitement within bounds; and when a fair, brown-eyed girl sprung lightly from the stage, and, stepping quietly into the room, nestled her rosy cheeks against the emaciated face, the lady's astonishment was no less than j Jack's own. An elderly gentleman who followed the girl gave the sick man a hearty grasp of the hand, and if Lis greeting was less enthusiastic it was at least full of friendliness and sympathy. The doctor, who had followed in, insi&ted on quiet, saying to the nurse that otherwise ho should not like to answer for the consequences. "Let me alone, doctor," said Jack, faintly; "there is only a little while now," and he signified a desire to be alone with the new-comers. There was a low hum of conversation for a while, then a silence, broken only by a smothered sob, and the doctor was peremptorily summoned from the inner room. " I am afraid Jack is dying, poor boy," said the grave-faced old gentle-, man, in a low tone. They came in softly. The young girl sat upon a low stool, with all the roses faded out of her young cheeks, and Jack's emaciated hand Clasped lovingly ! between her plump, white ones, while the dying man bent upon her a look of unutterable love and tenderness, and lay seemingly content. The fluttering leaves, just touched by the silver light of the moon, made quivering shadows on the walk as the wind j stirred them softly. The lights, far &d the viII strects, flickered and went out one by one. The coarse laugh of some belated miner; the drowsy hum of a beetle, and the soft plash, plash of the river broke the silence. Away to the west fell the long, dark shadows of the mountains, and the fragrant breath of their pines came in through the open windows. Once or twice Jack closed his eyes wearily and murmured to himself : " The same face the same face !

ou iuiKto uu uiuciat re given below in full : ort, which is H j Foet Eobiksox, 5?eb. Jan. lI UPon fxai investigation of the recent Chey i oenne troubles liere, I tad the facts ad follows: Oa the 31 inst the Lead men wore notified by Capt Vessels that the authorities in vTa.bmgton had decided tliat tboy mast go back south. Vvltliont giving & decisive answer, they retired to consult with their peopla On the next day Hog, as spokesman, gave an unequivocal negative, saying, as had the others on dimerous occasions, that they were resolved to die first A few having been examined, and professed will j ingncss to go, were allowed to return to the j Pri3on. h" were forcibly detained by the others. The attempt to starve and freeze them out was now the last and only alternative. On the 5!th ict it was decided to arrest Hog, as ho was the leading oppositionist. He, having been with difiiculty iaaueneed to come out, was ironed, but after a struggle in which a eoldier was stabbed. The Indians in the prison, knowing of this, immediately barricaded the doors and covered the windows with cloth to conceal their movementH, tearing tip the floor and constructing rifle-pits to command all tha windows. From this time the prison was like a den of rattlesnakes, and any white man who had shown his head in tho room would have met certain deatli. It was supposed, of course, that the Indiana had no arms other than a few knives. During the evening the building was as quiet as a grave, and the six sentinels who surrounded it suspected no danger, At ten minutes before 10 o'clock four shots were fired from the west end of the prison, killing two of ths sentinel?. Shots were also fired from a front window into the guard-room, w.ounding a corporal. Simultaneously a rush was made through all the windows, the Indians sallying out, resolved to kill and be killed, like Malays running amok. The guard and other troops gave chase. The Indians moved south toward the creek, the squaws being driven in a mass ahead of the men, at least five of the latter keeping up an incessant fira It was in ret urn mg the fire that several women and children were killed. No woman or child was intentionally harmed, and, in fact, many officers and Boldiers showl great daring in trying to save them. To take the men prisoners was impossible, as they all refused to surrender, and when exhausted stood at bay. Several soldiers lost their lives in trying to capture such men. No Indian was killed who could have been captured. When these Cheyennes were first captured they were but partially disarmed, and several guns and pistols were taken from them. After they had entered the prison they had ample time to conceal arm s under the floor, that place of deposit not being searched. The prison had been so guarded that the theory of arms having been introduced subsequently to their incarceration is scarcely tenable; yet events proved that they had at least fifteen guns in addition to tho two obtained from the dead sentinels, and some few revolTers. They are well supplied with knives. There are many proofs that a desperate outbreak was long premeditated. The squaws say that the men feared hanging if they returned south, and that in this affair all expected to die. From the time that they knew their removal was decided upon they were in such a frame of mind that, were the movement to be attempted in any way, it would simply be a question as to who should be killed, white man or Indian.

No. 1 Victim, Patrick Farrell; place of- execution, Quebec, Canada. The rope was fastened to a beam and the culprit stood on the trap-door in the scaffold. His eyes were unbandaged so that all the final proceedings were visible to him. The official charged with the execution proved a bungler. He fumbled with the bolt and for some seconds tugged at it, the prisoner meanwhile bending a beseeching look upon him. At last the bolt was shot back, and then, with a blood-curdling scream, the wretched man, as he fell through the trap, caught the rope and remained suspended by the hands. The hangman seized the rope and shook it violently until the hold of the culprit was loosened, when Farrell dropped about a foot and slowly strangled to death, his neck not being broken.
