has been run to Chicago exactly ha it came from the plains, and Cbicago?8 "toughs." who would have hooted and jeered perhaps at sight of polished brasses and natty uniforms, recoil bewildered before this gang of silent and disciplined ''jayhawkers." Steadily, silently, ominously, the train rolls along. As it is rounding a curve several ugly looking fellows are seen running at speed toward the switch lever

Steadily, sf lenity, ominously, the train rolls along. at the next street crossing. Excitedly the railway man clutches Drmnmond's elbow and points. Two troopers are kneeling close at hand. "Shoot if they touch that switch, Bays

Drtunniond. and instantly the locks click as the hammers are brought to full cock The foremost runner is almost nt the iron stand his hand is outstretched to grasp it when a gasping, warning cry reaches his ears. Glancing back, he sees his fellows scattering to either side, and one look at the smooth rolling car reveals tho cause two carbines are leveled at him, and flat he throws himself on his face and rolls to ono side amid deri.sivo laughter from tho strikers themselves.' A little farther on a knot of surly rioters are gathered 011 tho trad:. No warning whistle sounds, and tho clanging bell is too far to tho rear to attract their attention. "Out of the way there!" is tho blunt, roughly spoken order. No time this for standing on ceremony. Vengeful and scowling tho men spring aside, Bomo stooping to pick up rocks, others reaching into their pockets for tho ready pistol, but rocks are dropped and pistols undrawn as the train whirls rapidly by, and wrath gives place to mystification. Who—what are these strange, silent, stubbly bearded, snu tanned fellows in slouch hats, flannel shirts and the worn old black belts over tho shoulder? Even tho engine has its guard, and half dozen of them, perched upon tho tender, havo leveled their carbines to flank and rear, ready to let drive into the crowd the instant a brick is heaved or a trigger pulled.

And so into the great stono station they roll, and hero they find tho platforms jammed with citizens—some drawn by curiosity, some active sympathizers in tho strike, and many of them prominent leaders of the mob surging in the crowded thoroughfaro without. Tho train has hardly come to a stand when from every direction the mans oi outsiders is heaving up around It. "Now, Feeny, clear tho platform to tho left. Take tho other side, Wing," Bays Druninioml quietly to tho officer at tho front door of tho next car.

In tho very fraction of a second tho first sergeant and a dozen men have leaped from tho deck, and straight into tho heart of tho crowd they go. "Back with ye! Out o'this!" aro tho stern, determined orders, emphasized by vigorous prods with the heavy carbine butts. Astonished at methods so prompt and decided, there is only such resistance as the weight and bulk of those in rear can offer, and that is but momentary. Tho sight, of those gleaming gatling barrels, the stern, brief orders and tho rapid, confident advanco combine to overcome all idea of resistance. On both sides, at the head of the train, the huge crowd, halt laughing, half suffocating. is heaved back upon itself and scut like a great human wave rolling up to the iron lattice at the office end. Meantime, without an instant's delay the battalion springs out from tho cars, forms ranks on tho north platform, counts foul's, and then, arms at right shoulder, away it goes with swinging, steady tramp arouud the rear of tho train, across the parallel rows of rails, and in another moment, greeted by tremendous cheers from the occupants of long lines and high tiers of store?, offices, business blocks, the griuiv, dusty, wai worn campaigners come striding down the crowded street. Heavens, how the jKople shout! Staid old burghers, portly business men, trot panting alongside, waving their hats and cheering themselves hoarse. "Them fellers hasn't no bouquets in their guns," is the way a street gamin expresses it.

Whither aro they going

44

What

have they first to do?" is the cry. Police officials ride now with the captain temporarily in command a carriage has whisked the colonel over to headquarters, but haste! haste! is tho word. On they go, silent, grim, with the alkali dust of the North Platte crossing still 00ating their rusty garb. A great swing bridge looms ahead a dozen police deploy on either side and check the attending crowd. Over they go at route step, and then, turning to the right, tramp on down a roughly paved street, growing dim and dimmer every minuto with stifling smoke. Presently they are crossing snakelike lines of bose, gashed and useless passing fire apparatus standing unhitched and neg Jectod passing firemen exhausted and ftsUees. Then occasional squads of •cowling men give way before their steady tramp ana are driven down alley ways and around street corners by reTiring police. Then the head of col-

twin turns to the left ana comes full apon a scene of tumult—a great building in flames, a great mob surging about it defying police interference and bent apparently on gutting the structure from roof to cellar and pillaging the neighboring stores. Now, men of the —th, here's work cut out fgr youl Drive that mob, bloodlessly if you can, blood letting if you must!

The colonel is again at the head. All are on foot. "Lett front into line, double time:" the first company throws its long double rank from curb to curb, Drummond, its commander, striding at its front. Wing, his subaltern, anxiously watching him from among the file closers. Already they have reached the rearmost of the rioting groups, and with warning

crie3

44Look

and impreca­

tions these are scurrying to either side and falling into the hands of the accompanying police. Thicker, denser grows the smoke thicker, denser the mob. '4 Clear this street! Out of the way!" are the orders, and for a half block or so clear it is. Then comes the first opposition. On a pile of lumber a tall, stalwart man in grizzled beard and slouching hat—evidently a leader of mark among the mob—is shouting orders and encouragement. What he says cannot be heard, but now, tightly wedged between the rows of buildings, the mob is at bay, and yelling mad response to the frantic appeals and gesticulations of their leader at least 2,000 reckless and infuriated men have faced the little battalion surging steadily up the narrow street.

You may have to

fire,Drummond,"

says the colonel coolly. "Get in rear of your company." Obedient, the tall lieutenant turns and follows his chief along the front of his advancing line so as to pass around the flank. He is not 50 paces from the pile on which the mob leader, with half a dozen half drunken satellites, is shouting his exhortations. Just as the lieutenant's arm is grazing grim old Feeny's elbow as he passes the first sergeant's station, a brick comes hurtling through the air, strikes full upon the back of tho officer's unprotected head and sends him, face forward, into the muddy street. In tho yell of triumph that follows, Wing's voico for an instant is unheard. Obedient to its principle, "Never load until about to firo," the battalion's carbines are still empty, but all on a sudden troop halts. "With ball cartridges, load!" is Wing's hoarse, stern order. "Now aim low when I give the word. Fire by company. Company, ready!" and like one the hammers click. But no command "Aim" follows.

out! Look out! For

God 'ssakfc don't fire! Out of tho way!" are the frantic yells from the throats of tho mob. Away they go, scattering down side streets, alley ways, behind lumber pilesv everywhere—anywhere. Many even throw themselves flat on their faces to escapo the expected tempest of lead. "Don't fire," says the colonel mercifully.

4'Forward,

double

time, and givo them the butt. We'll support you.'' Down from the lumber piles come the erstwhile truculent leaders. "Draw cartridge, men," orders Wing in wrath and disappointment. "Now, btitts to the front, and give them h—1. Forward!" And out he leaps to tako tho lead, dashing straight into tho thick of the Scattering mob,

hi9

men after him. There is a minuto of wild yfcllm cursing, of resounding blows and trampling feet, and in the midst of it all single shot, and when Wing, breathless, is finally halted two squares farther on only a dozen broken headed wretelies remain along tho street to represent tho furious mob that confronted them a few minutes before. Only these few and one writhing, bleeding form, around which half a dozen policemen aro curiously gathered, and at whoso sido tho battalion surgeon has just knelt. "He's shot through and through," is his verdict presently. "No power can save him. Who is he "About the worst and most dangerous ringleader of riot this town has known, sir," is tho answer of one of the police officials. "No ono knew where he camo from either—or his real name.''

Ami then in his dying agony the fallen demagogue turns, and the other side of his twitching face comes uppermost. Even through tho thin, grizzly beard there is plaiuly seen an ugly, jagged scar stretching from car to chin. "This isn't his first row by any manner of means, if it is his last," says a sergeant of police. "Look at that! Who shot him anyhow?" "1 did," is tho cool, prompt answer, and Sergeant Feeny raises his hand to his carried carbine and stands attention as he sees the surgeon kneeling there. "1 did. and jnst in the nick of time. Ho had drawn a bead on our lieutenant, but even if ho hadn't I'd have downed him, and 60 would any man in that company yonder." And Feeny points to where O troop stands resting after its charge. "You knew him then?" "Knew him*instantly, as a deserter, thafe, highwayman and murderer— knew him as Private Bland in Arizona and would know him anywhere by that scar."

A policeman bends and wrenches a loaded revolver from the clutching, quivering fingers just as Wing comes striding back and shoulders his way into the group.

4 4

Is he badly hart, doctor That was an awful whack." It is the lieutenant, sir," says Feeny respectfully, but with strange significance in his tone as he draws a policeman aside. "Look I"

And Wing, bending over, gives one glance into the dying face, then covers his eyes with hands and tarns blindly, dissily, away.

That evening a host of citizens are gathered about the bivouac of the battalion at the waterworks while the trumpets are sounding tattoo. A few squares away the familiar notes come floating in through the open windows of a room where Jim Drummond is ly­

ing on a most comfortable sofa, which has been rolled close to the casement where every whiff of the cool lake breeze can fan his face, and where, glancing languidly around, he contrasts the luxury of these surroundings with the rude simplicity of the life he has lived and loved so many years. Gray haired George Harvey, kindly Mrs. Stone, his sister blissful,beautiful Fanny Wing with burly baby Harvey in her arms and her proud, soldierly husband by her side, and a tall, lovely, silent girl have all been there to minister to his needs and bid him thrice welcome and make him feel that here, if anywhere on earth, he is at home. And here the battalion surgeon and the family physician unite in declaring he must remain until released by their order, and here for three days and nights he is nursed and petted and made so much of that he is unable to recognize himself, and here sister Puss comes to cry over and kiss and bless him and in her turn to be made much of and forbidden to leave, and then, after her big brother's return to duty with the battalion, now being fed and feted by all the North Side, he must needs come over every evening to see her, and, now that presentable uniforms have arrived and the rough beards have been shaved and the men of the old regiment look less like •'toughs," bnt no

Fanny

And for all answer, it being perhaps too public a spot for other demonstration, Wing simply hugs himself.

That night, under the arching roof of the great railway station, the comrades, so long united by the ties of such respect and affection as are engendered only by years of danger and hardship borne in common, and now BO happily united by a closer tie, are pacing the platform absorbed in parting words. "Jim, tfiink what a load I've had to carry all these five years and forbidden by my gxd angel to breathe a word of it to you." "1 can't realize my own happiness, old man. 1 never dreamed that, after she got out into the world and saw for herself, that she would remember her girlish fancy or have another thought for me." "I know you didn't. Yet Fan says that ever since the voyage in the Newbern little Ruth has never had a thought for anybody else."

There is a moment's silence, then Wing speaks again: "There has not been time for mother's letter to reach me. 1 had to write, of course, and tell her of the fate that at last befell him. Do you know I feel as though after all it was my hand that did it." "How so?" *4Feeny says he knew him the instant that side of his face was turned toward him—the side my knife laid open years ago. That was a fatal scar."

She is radiant only until she catches sight of heri sister's face. It is not so very warm an evening, yet she marshals the household out on the steps, out on the back veranda—anywhere out of that parlor, where, just as the faint, notes of the trumpets are heard sounding their martial tattoo, and just as Lieutenant Wing, returning from a tiptoed visit to his sleeping boy and escaped for tho moment from the vigilance of his wife, now happens to go blundering in—thero is heard from the dimly lighted corner near the piano tho sound of subdued sobbing, the sound of a deep, manly voice, low, soothing, wondrously happy, tho sound—a sound—indescribable in appropriate English, yet never misunderstood—-a sound at which Wing halta short, pauses one instant irresolute, then faces about and goes tiptoing out into the brilliant sheen of the vestibule lamps, into the brilliant gleam of his fond wife's questioning, reproachful eyes.

DRESSING

Home Gowns For Informal Occasion*—A Convenient Pattern.

The tea gown, which originally suggested comfort and simplicity, is now an ornate affair, often as irksome to wear and difficult to make as a fashionable dress. With this state of affairs the dressing gown becomes a useful addition and every woman's wardrobe should have at least one of these negligee garments.

Let the dressing gown remain a thing of comfort. Its greatest charm now is that it may be slipped on and off in a mo-

A CONVENIENT DRESSING GOWN. ment. Attention is called to a dressing gown of pleasing style, but as easily put on as an ordinary bedroom wrapper.

It is so shaped in front that it only requires to be crossed over and the cord tied. This will keep it together. A large hook and eye can be placed under the revers to keep it close at the neck if wished. It can be made in one of the new fancy light wool fabrics, and the facings could be in plain material to correspond. A more dressy gown can be made in cashmere and silk. The gown takes six yards of double width material and can be lined or not.

French cashmeres that are npw sold so cheaply make charming house gowns and dresses for informal occasions in the evening, when chosen in light gray, mauve, nile green, cerise or pale yellow shades. For warm days in summer the pretty figured French challis afford an admirable material, being almost as cool as lawn and more serviceable. Then, too, the challis do not have to be laundered.

Household Hints.

Have plenty of crash towels in the kitchen. Never let your white towels or napkins be used there.

Never leave your clothesline out overnight. A little salt sprinkled in starch while it is boiling will prevent it from sticking.

Keep an old blanket and sheet on purpose for ironing. Keep a heavy stone on your pork to keep it down.

Lemon juice and salt will remove ordinary iron rust. Never put your stovepipes away without rubbing them thoroughly with linseed oil or something similar. This will prevent an accumulation of rust.

Darn gloves in buttonholed stitch, repeated till the hole is filled up. Clothes carefully folded and sprinkled are half ironed.

Granulated sugar is the purest brand, consequently the cheapest. Do not use quite as much as of other kinds—one-half inch less for a cupful.

Don't Delay

It is your duty to yourself to get rid of the foul accumulation in your blood this spring. Hood's Sarsaparilla is just the medicine you need to purify, vitalize and enrich your blood. That tired feeling which affects nearly every one in the spring is driven off by Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great spring medicine and blood purifier.

Hood's Pills become the favorite cathartic with everyone who tries them.

Realism In the Drama.

Realism in the drama is a great thing. The other day a London manager applied to a magistrate for permission to introduce a live infant in a fire Bcene. The child was to be rescued from a burning house by a collie dog, which was to climb a ladder and leap from a window with the baby in his mouth. The manager was -highly indignant when his application was refused, and so was the affectionate father who had provided the baby for a nightly consideration.—Stageland.

A Handsome Bag.

Here is the description of an attractive rng, as given by Modern Priscilla. It was made of old ingrain carpet, cut bias, about one inch wide, and stitched through the center onto firm unbleached yard wide heavy sheeting. Set the strips on a quarter of an inch apart. It can be done on a sewing machine, and it is quickly done, and the edges of the strips stand VP as they are crowded together and form a heavy nap, entirely covering the doth to which they are sewed.

Facts Worth Knowing:.

In all' diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders or astringents, because they are irritating, do not reach the affected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who bad for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can inflict testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. Your druggist has it.

SOMETHING IN THIS NAME.

But the Man Whose Property It Is Wishes He Had Not Recalled It.

The mystery that has been surrounding the identity of David Draughn has been solved and in away that is likely to give David much trouble. Draughn was Several weeks ago dragged from the railroad tracks in the south end of the city jnst in time to save him from being mangled. It was then discovered that he had been beaten almost to death. He was carried to the Grady hospital, and when he recovered physically it was found that his mind was a perfect blank as to past events—so much so that he even did not know his own name.

Finally under the care of the surgeons there came back inklings of the past, and one day last week he electrified everybody about the hospital by rushing about and declaring he "had it." He had caught what he said was his last name. He was t-ftlrftn by detectives up into ^?jrth Carolina, and at Culberson, near Murphy, he found friends, but he was not Draughn, &t least not there. He had been known there as Dr. F. D. Heath and had lived there for several months last summer, but Heath and Draughn are one and the same man, and it developed that under the former name he has three living wives. One lives in Salem, No. 2 in Asheville and No. 8 in Bryson City, Va. His mother, Mrs. Frank Barr, the wife of a printer, also lives near Salem. He will be prosecuted for bigamy and is very sorry he has found out who he is. •—Atlanta Cor. St. Louis Republic.

The Human Electrical Forces!

How They Control the Organs of the Body.

The electrical force of the human body, as tho nerve fluid may be termed, is an especially attractive department of scienco, as It exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is oroduced Dy the brain and couveyed by means of the nerves to the various or runs of Uie body, thussupplying the latter with tho vitality necessiiry to insure their hcaltlv. The pneumogastric nerve, as shown here, may be said to bo the most important oft he entire nerve system. as it supplies the heart, .lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen by the cut the long nerve in huso of the brain and terminating in tho bowels is the pheumogastric, whiie the numerous lit-i :e branches supply thel heart, lungs and stoin-l ach with necessary vi-1 tality. When the brain becomes In any way dis-1 ordered by irritability or exhaustion, tho nerve force which it supplies is lessened, and the organs receiving the diminished supply are consonuentlv weakened.

Physicians generally fall to recognize, the importance of this fact, but treat tho organ itself instead of the cause of tho trouble The noted specialist, Franklin Miles, M. 1)., LL. B., nas given the greater part of his life to the study of this suoiect, and the nrimip.il discoveries concerning it are due to his efforts.
