ADDLE-nOSS Teto's record in tho mining-camps of the San Juan District was as nn eavory as h i s crouching form was unsightly and his hoarso voice disagreeable. He was a short, thick built man if man he really was, for he had more the appearance of a boy who shuffled about and leered Bt you with a fiend ish grin which mado you feel un eosy in his pres ence. His brain waB nuick though his physical a wementa were slow, and he was strong as a beast. His record was that of tin-Lorn gambler and all-round thief. Added to this he bore the repu tation of having been run ont of Lead villo for horse stealing, and having es caped from Tombstone's ready-made justice, charged with a like offense. Thus he came to the mining camp ly ing in a pretty basin under the shadow of old King Solomon, one of the grandest mountains of Southern Col orado. . Nine-tenths of the population had departed before the first storm had come, as was the custom in now camps in the early days before tho railroads had broadened the trails and opened the passes through the Rocky Moun tains. Only about ono hnndred men and women remaiuod iu camp that winter, aud they had little else to do than amuse thomselvea They were law-abiding and had littlo use for peace officers. So the town and county officials took their UBiial vacation with others who did not feel like facing the rigid winter which was predicted. Saddle-Hobs Fete did not go out with the majority. He usually formed a minority of one. But he was not disappointed at their leaving him. He thought he would bo able to stand it for one season. But Paymaster Bill and Big Frank, who seemed to be looked upon as guardians of the affairs of the camp, plainly told him that he must go out that the penalty of his return would be sudden death. So Saddle-Hoss Pete departed before the second storm had come whither no body knew. Parson Tom had come to the camp in the previous spring and had made a good impression on his own kind of people, though the present remaining population Knew little of Inui, and did not care whether ho remained or not None of thorn were church-coiner ieo pie. But as tho parson said ho had no idea of preaching, nobody objected to his staying an camp. He gave a reason lor slaying tliat in case of death his service would be needed. Beyond that he would not intrude his offices. Tho extreme lougth of the winter had led Paymaster Bill to inquire into tho parson's finances; and, learning that there was a probability of his running short before his parishioners should return, Bill proposed to the men in the camp that a purse be raised His suggestion was acted upon, aud Paymaster Bill himself presented tho hatful of money, accompanying the presentation witu an appropriate ex tempore speech, in which he advised Parson Tom of tho appreciation of tho donors. Parson Tom declared he could not accept the money unless ho should have au opportunity to earn it. "But we don't none of us want ter die, ' objected Bill, "jist ter give ye chance ter earn tho money. We'd ruther pay ye ter pray fer our con tinued good health, jist as wo drinks ter your good health w'en we makes up that purse. Parson Tom laughed, and said he had no desire for the demise of any one, but merely wanted to give them some return for the money. That night Parson Tom appeared in Big Frank's saloon, where tho entire male population was endeavoring to break the tiuuk, having cleaned up the Corner saloon early in the evening. Tne appearance of the parson created a flutter, aud one or two superstitious players lost every bet they made for the balance of the deal. When the eud of the deal had been reached, the par son asked their attention for a few minues, and, mounting the platform which held the look-out chair, he thanked them kindly for their gener out donation, aud said if they would coiao to the little school-house on Sun day evening for a half hour ho would endeavor to entertain them without preaching a sermon. Ho declared that he could not accept their money with out earning it. Upon entering his cubin, Parson Tom stirred the fire, thinking of his visit, and, after sitting by its warmth till he had thawed himself, he went to his trunk, which held his treasure, to look at the littlo hoard of gold and silver which these rough men of the mountains had so kindly donated. It was not there I Perhaps, in his excitement at his good fortune, he had hidden it from himself and forgotten the hiding place. But, no, it was not in the cabin ! The parsou was troubled. He could uot believe that any of the men who had been so kind to him would be guilty of robbery. And yet the money was gone. The long buckskin bag, in which ho kept his money and which bore his name worked in silken thread, he found behind tho trunk. When ho met Paymaster Bill on tho following morning, ho mentioned his Ions. Bill was astonished. Ho did not believe that any man iu the camp was mean enough to stool, ' at any rate, not a parson s money. The story of the loss of ParBon Tom s money was told about the camp, and, while it was a mystery to some, the more irreverent Binilod and said they guessed tho parson was excited, and it would turn up all right in time. On Sunday the sun shone out bright aud clear, and old King Solomon was as glorious a sight as ono might wish to see. His biblical namesake in all his reputed glory could not have fur nished a grander inspiration. Every malo person was promptly on hand that night at tho little school house, and there waa a sprinkle of the other sex women who had not listened to a preacher's voice since they were littlo girls. The half-hour was devoted to road- ing stories, which were responded to by hearty laughter and a few pathetio exclamations. Whon Farson Tom had finished and was about to say good-night, Paymaster Bill arose and reminded his compan ions that on the night the parson had oalled on them, it had been proposed that a fund be started toward building a church. Then he added : "I don't reckon none of ye has got a notion o' backin' down on thet ther' propersition. Ef ye has, let's hear it." There was not a dissenting voice, though the amount of gold and silver dropped in the parson's pretty buck skin bag was not so large as it might have beeu had the parson not "lost his first winuin'." The moon had dropped down be hind the peak of King Solomon, leav ing the camp in darkness, while soft snow fell with that monotony which indicates a heavier fall to come. Parson Tom had just opened the door of his cabin to step in, whon a heavy hand was laid upon his throat and a hoarse voice demanded : "Give me that money ! Quick 1" The parson was by no means a coward. He straggled with his assail ant, aud together they fell into the cabin and rolled out iuto the light cover of fresh snow which had fallen on the frozen crust. Muttered curses and a tighter grip upon his throat met his resistance. Farson Tom knew not how long he had lain there, and, despite the warmer temperature, he was numb with cold when he crawled into his cabin. He was so completely over come by the struggle with his assailant and the cold that he lay upon his bed in a stupor far into the night. When he aroused, the suow was fall ing in great sheets, like drifts, from the gulch, above. He opened the door aud looked out. Ho could see noth ing but the blinding storm and the darkness which was scarcely subdued by the ghastly whiteness of the snow. He dared uot venture out. Zio man could livo au hour in that terrible storm. Rebuilding tho Sre, the parson sat down and tried to think tried to think where he had heard that voice before it demanded his money. If he could only recall that, ho would be able to identify the man who had robbed him. Without that recollec tion, his claim that he had been robbed the second time would be only laughed at by the men who had been so generous in their gifts. But it was impossible to recall it, though he kuew he had heard it and remarked its peculiar tone. And there he sat through the long, black night hoping against hope. It was broad noonday when he awoke, sitting by the dying embers on the hearth. Tho sun shone brighter than it had shone for weeks. Its hot rays melted the snow on the roofs of the houses, and the day was like a day in spring. But it brought no joy to the heart of Parson Tom. Tho habitues of Big Frank's saloon had hardly settled themselves down to the pleasures or pastimes of tho day thoir morning hour being the noon-time when they were startled by the ghost-like appearance of Parson Tom. In a trembling voice, he told his story. "He plays it well," sneered Big Frank ; that's a purty good make-up ye've got on yer faoe. Ye'd ought ter be a performer. There'll be chance fer ye when the variety show opens up in the spring. This speech was greeted with laugh ter by the crowd, and the poor parson was dumb but not deaf with morti fication. How could he face these men who disbelieved his very first utter ance? Ho turned to go. "Hold on ther'!" cried Paymaster Bill; "this ia twicet yer say yer bin robbed in this camp. Both times it was our money as ye was robbed of money 'at we give ye. Now ye're got ter prove it ; fer we don't 'low no man t' accuse none 'o us 'o robbiu' him the second time 'tho it he perduoes ther proof." "Ther proof's w'at we wants!" shouted the crowd. Parson Tom stood as still as death. He could not speak. "An' ther's another thing ye've got ter prove," continued Bill, as ho saw the parson would not reply ; "ye've got ter prove thet yo didu t rob some other parties besides yersclf. More'n one cabiu was burglarized last night ; an' ef ye ain't ther burglar, thin prove it !' But Parson Tom could 'utter no Bound, save a grouu of anguish. Could he but recall that voice ! But, no! His memory failed. There he stood as dumb as though ho had been born without speech, ' while Paymaster Bill demanded that ho provehis innocence, and the crowd, led on by Big I rank, sneered at and reviled tho accused. During this trying ordeal for the parson, threo men, selected by Big I rank, had gono to tho parson scabm, and there, upon the floor, had found a nugget of gold belonging to Big Frank. This they brought and flouted in the face of the trembling victim. Well he knew how it had come there, but it was idlo to assert or protest. His words if ho could havo spoken would have been, to theso infuriated men, like the screech of a wild bird borne on the wind iu a howling storm. "Ye hov no proof o' yer innocence. said Paymaster Bill, hotly, "an' we hev this proof o' yer guilt. W'at d'ye say now?" Parson lorn saw that all hopo was lost, but with dying hopo his speech retnrnod, and he said with evident ef fort : "Gentlemen, I sec no hope of estab lishing my innocence; but still main tain it. That nugget of gold must have been dropped by the robber in onr struggle in the cabin. If I could re call the voice I should convince yon. It was nono of yon who did the deed, but one who has once lived here among you, though I can not tell his name. He can not livo far away perhaps at one of the idle mines or in some de serted tunnel. He went toward the gulch, for had he come this way he would have had to cross my body, as I lay there in the snow. That is all I have to say. Do with me as you must. It was useless to search tho gulch the heavy snow would not permit. And, then, these angry men had no doubt of tho guilt of the parson. Only the production of the mon he claimed had robbed him would destroy their belief in his guilt. The crowd grew angrier as the minutes passed. "The parson has lied, - coolly re marked Big Frank, whose faith in the preacher Bort had never been strong. He s an ungrateful robber, l ay- master Bill added. "Hang him 1" yelled a man in the crowd. The excitement increased like the roar of tho wind through the gulches in the coming of a storm. A minute more and the infuriated mob who, in the absence of a court, had tried, con victed, and sentenced the accused, was eager to execute the sentence of death. Like wild men they flew to the upper end of tho camp, dragging the parson with them. Convinced of his guilt, and maddened by thoughts of his ingratitude, no hand could stay them. Quickly the preparations for the ex ecution were made. Two barrels, each of which supported an end of a broad plank, placed nnder the stout limb of a great tree, formed the scaffold. One end of the rope was fastened to the limb, the other formed into a noose and placed over the head and around the neck of the trembling parson. "Aire ye ready ?" cried the leader of the mob to the two men who were stationed at the ends of the plank ready to lift it out from under the feet of the doomed man. "Give him one more chanco ter toll who robbed him," demanded Paymas ter Bill. Standing there upon that plank, with the death rope around his neck, Porson Tom's memory returned. Tho ugly face of his assailant, which hu could not see the night before iu the darkness, was now plainly visible, and the couched form of tho robber ap peared as plain as on the day he had sneaked out of camp at tho command of these same men. The crowd waited almost breath lessly. "Quick!" shouted Big Frank, who was leader. "Saddle Horse Pete !" almost shouted the parson. The crowd broke ont in jeers. "Oh, no!" they said, "that can't be. He was drove out, an' he's not likely to show his head anywheres 'roun' this camp. That won't do. Guess agin." "Ye'll hev to perduco ther body of Saddle-Hoss Pete afore the court'll admit ther evidence," said Bill. "Once agin. Aire ye ready?" shouted Big Frauk. "Yes," came the calm but determ ined voices of the two men at the ends of the plank. "Give him time ter pray," begged an unwilling participant. "Pray theu !" shouted the leader. Parson Tom stood erect with bowed head. Slowly aud with firmness he lifted his voice. Suddenly he faltered, turning his face toward the mountain. Hark ! Look ! The excited group of men stood there riveted to tho ground. Tho hands of those who held the plank were frozen as if in death's clutch. The touguo of him whose word was law was paralyze 1. Tho sound which filled their ears carried more terror to their souls than the awful roar of battle, the rushing of the mighty waters in a storm at sen, aud the rumbling of au earthquake, ull combined, could have inspired. On, on it came, tearing from their roots greut trees that had withstood the storms of generations; hurling heavy branches, logs, timbers and rocks a hundred feet above the heads of the frightened witnesses. Great clouUe of snow filled tho air and hid from view tho surrounding mountains. Not a man in that group, ull huddled together like so many frightened ani mals, but comprehended tho situation in an instant. Theso meu who were brave enough of heart to have fought with tho iu spiration of patriotism on tho field of battle, or faced with fearless courage the ocean's wrath, or listened without the faintest dread to tho earthquake's fearful rumblings, t-t md trciabling like little children in the face of a j mu w-suiie i Swift as a meteor it came, and, like tho bursting of a thunderbolt, had spent its wrath ; and its dreadful har vest lay scattered far and wide, like dead and wounded soldiers on a battle field. And when the sky had cleared there lay, at tho feet of them who held a life within their grasp, a dead and frozen human form. Tight against the breast, the clutched and stiffened fingers of the dead held the buckskin bag of money the evidence of 1 arson Tom s innocence ! Tho crowd fell back, aghast ! It was Saddle-Hoss Pete ! Argo naut. SCIENTIFIC AM) INDUSTRIAL. Two hundred and eighteen thousand tons of phosphate have been mined in South Carolina during 1893.

Operation of Trephining Performed on tho Skull Results In a yueet State of Adair. 7C MOST remarkable medical ca 1ms originated at Keokuk, Iowa, which is giving physi (i cians something to study about. It is what somo surgeons cnlj Jaoksoniun epilepsy. The patient is P. R.Tiirnbull.a farmer residing at Tack wood, Iowa. When ho came to Keokuk ho stated thot he was thirty-ono yean old, and that when ho was only ten years old his brother accidentally struck him on the back of tho head with an ax, fracturing the skull nbove the right ear. Ho says ho did not suffer mnch from the wound until the fall of 1891. Then he began to notice a numbness in tho little finger of the left hand. This numbness extended to the other fingers ns timo wore on, and finally his hand would experience spasms of contraction. He lost con trol of tho muscles to the extent of paralysis. Finally his entiro arm, the left side of his neck and face, and his left leg becamo involved, and in Sep tember, 1892, began a series of terrible epileptio fits. These became so fre quent and depressing thot lately Turn bull shot himself in the breast, but the boll struck a rib, doing no serious harm. Turnbull had a wifo and four chil dren, and on account of his infirmity so abused his family that his wife scenred a divorce. Ho wos operated upon by surgeons at a hospital there Thursday and has so far recovered as to relate some very queer things. Tho operation consisted in removing the skull in tho vicinity of the old wound, which was nothing but a scar. This was trephined and a section of bono taken out. Tho bone was found to bo much thickened in front of the cut mado by the ax twenty-one years ago and was spongy at tho side. The membranes of the brain wereunusually adherent. After the operation Turn bull came out from under the in fluence of anesthetics, and, opening his eyes as ono who had been sound asleep, asked of tho attendant, a Sister of Mercy, in the hospital : "Where am I?" When told that he was in a hospital his amazement was somethiug sur prising. He wanted to know how he got there, why ha was there, and in reply to the explanations of tho at tendant seemed more dumbfounded than ever. Then one of the operating physicians recalled tho Btory that Turnbull hod told of his accident when a child, and of all he had said concerning his ailment just previous to the operation. Turnbull looked at tho physician a moment in blank amazement and then exclaimed : "Whv, I never saw you beforo in my life!" "Do you remember all thoso epilep tio fits?" askod tho surgeon. "I never had but two," replied Turnbull, "and they were in Septem ber, 1892. Have you told my wife of this?" asked Turnbull. He did not know that his w ifo had secured a divorce, and realizing that fact the surgeon made au evasive answer. "My God, is she dead !" exclaimed the poor mau. When assured that hij wife was alivo ho exclaimed: "But something might havo happened worse than death!" Turnbull has returned to his home in Paekwood, but he cannot .remember a single thing that has happened since September, 1H92. He thought Har rison was still President, had not heard of Cleveland's elect ion, nor of Hoies's defeat I Ho has learned for tho first timo that times are hard, as ho spoke of money being plenty and prices for farm products high.
