Keil Herries, or, na his canl read, Edwaril T. Herries, C. E.," stood in tba doorway of the Hough Diamond and looked gloomily forth at the rain as It fell aslant the cactus growth and chnpparal oil tho red soil ot thetnesa. From the saloon within cams tho rat tle of dice, the chink of glass, the rattle of coin and the murmur of deep, hoarse male voices. The Rongh Diamond was a. most lucrative and flourishing institu tion In the little railroad town of Pic ture Canyon, on the line of the Union Pacific. It was one of those places which, at that time, sprang up in n night and are deserted in a day along the line of the great road. Indeed, they followed the track, nnd wherever track laying ended temporarily there a town was certain to spring np almost ns if by magic. There wero thousands of laborers, rail road men, engineers and speculators. With them came peddlers, storekeepers, and last, hut not least, the great army of gamblers and saloon keepers. Some of theso towns were located in advan tageons situations, nnd finally took on a solid irrowth and nrosnercd. Others. having nothing to justify their existence save tho presence of thonnny of railroad employees, vanished ntterly when that army ndvanced farther and farther on its mission ot conquering space and time and uinuing ea6t anil west, together with bands of steel. Herries wus attached to tho engineer corps of the road, and had been for soma time stationed at l'lcturo Canyon, a city ot some 0,000 inhabitants, mostly males, and which was nearly n month old, mi antique indeed that an election for mayor and common council was being agitated by the more enterprising mem bers of the community. Harvard bred, delicately nurtured, a& customed to all the refinements of life which wealth guided by correct taste may give in an old and settled com' tnunity, the rude surroundings of his present lifo had at first disheartened Herries, but being at bottom a man of good senso nnd pluck nnd possessing a splendid constitution, n magnificent hi ceps, standing six feet and over in his boots, the man who had been Yale a cs special terror a3 J'right tackle," and who bad filled the seat in the 'Varsity eight with more than credit when thoblao crossed the lino ahead of tho crim&on on Lake Quinsigainond, would hardly flinch nt hardships which other men bore without complaint, even if nt times his soul grew weary of oaths and liquor, maddened men and brawls and bacon and muddy coileo aud hardtack. In deed he grew at last to like tho wild freedom ot his life, as all men will do in time, and ho was fast taking on the ex terior of n genuine frontiersman when When he met Chiquita! Chiqnita was a sprite. She was the trno daughter of rocky cam-on nnd des. ert mesa a genuine child of tho Sierras and a woman withal. Her reputed father was an evil eyed old Mexican named Itamon, ostensibly a newer ot other mens slieep, really a gatherer of other men's coins. Chionlta kept bouse for htm in a turn bled together "shack" on the outskirts of tho town, and hero entertained her father s guests. Poor little Chiqnita! She was brilliantly pretty, with the rich roso rod flushing her olive -cheeks, her white teeth flashing between ripe, dewy, crimson lips, with glorions brown eyes under heavy arching brows. and shaded by snch long curling lashes as would make one s heart ache, espe cially tho heart of a frontiersman, in whose life femalo beanty la a rich and rare event. Many a dollar had Chiquita's ei'es and lips brought to old Ramon's sheepskin pouch and still he was athirst for more gold. It was of this Hemes was thinking, for he khew Chiquita, and it was this which, thinking of it, drove him out of the warm and cozy barroom (the only place where he could possibly stay, save In his cold and cheerless tent), and forced Mm to cool his heated brow in tho cool, wet wind which blew from the mouth of Picture Canyon. Ilo wus roused by a voice, a deep, slow, plainsman's voice, addressing him: i'araiMir, you are a good one for a tenderfoot, leastways I've sorter tackled to you sence I seen the way yon whop ped that ere cowboy chump und belted Win with his own gun. Borne tender foots ain't got no sand, but yon have, en I'll not see yon double teamed on ef I kin help it, sho's I'm fum Texas which i m known as uiacx Waxy Jim." "Why, what's tho matter?" broke in Herries on Black Waxy's harangue, as ho turned and regarded closuly the tall, athletic hgure of the man betide him.

It was the synonym ot idl that was most fierce, bloodthirsty und wicked even in that wicked and bloodthirsty little com munity. "Denver rete he mused. "So ho is going to do mo up because I'm trying to win that poor child from her horriblo lifo and save her for something better. I fear me, Udwnrd, yon'ro in no end of n bad scrniio." But tho blood which had rushed so hotly th. ugh his veins when Yale's shouts rang triumphant over tho foot ball field as the goal was almost won, and which nerved him to dnro any odds, take any risk, so long as ho could save that game, now flowed again warmly through his heart. "IH not bo bullied," ho Baid, and ho frowned nnd shut closo his mouth and clinched his bauds. These were ominous signs iu Mr. Herries, and even Denver Fete, redoubtable knight of the green cloth ns he was, would have done well to h.'ivo heeded them; had he known young Herries better ho might havo done so. For Herries had stalked back to the brilliantly lighted barroom and had called for a glass of whisky, the while ho regarded a knot of men near by who were conversing in n low tone. Among theso men was the gambler against whom Herries had been warned a handsome, pale faced, tall, slender man, dressed with great neatness in black and with out a single ornament vlsable not even the belt which nearly every man wore. Ho had a emnll, keen, hungry looking, gray eye, and as he looked at Herries ho met the latter's gloomy glance, smiled and turned to his friends with tho re mark: The kid seems worried about some thing. I wonder if by any chance ho has overheard us?" Quess not ho jest come in n minute ago." "Perhaps perhaps," muttered Pete, but we will soon know." Events moved quickly in frontier towns. As Herries finished his whisky and banged the door behind him, Peto arose from his seat. His friends also sprang np, but he made a gesture of dissent. No, boys. Leave this to me. If I can't deal with one tenderfoot I certain ly won't call in aid." "But he wight net the drnp on ye." persisted one. Pete shrugged his shoulders and deigned no reply. Ho walked to tho bar, called for aud swallowed a large glassful of brandy, which draft did not even bring a flush to his pule cheek, opened the door and was lost in the darkness of the night. About two hours later tho inmates of the Rough Diamond were startled by hearing shots, cries, oaths, the heavy thundering of 11 horsos hoofs on the rocky soil of the mesa, and then n long, loua "liurra-a-u. Then idl was silent. As ono man they sprung to their feet and rushed for the door, but ere the fore most man among them could reach it it was burst violently open and old Ramon rushed iu, followed by Pete, from Den' ver, who, swaying and staggering like a drunken man, called for brandy, and then came to tho floor with a crash that shook the windows. A. babel of voices prevented an expla nation for a long time, and when Peter hod somewhat revived he told them what had happened. "Where s Ulnquitaf some one asked. A spasm of wrath convulsed the fea tures of tho dying man. 'Uone, be gasped; "gone with that cursed tenderfoot." "How did it all happen, Peter "He was there when I got there. Chiquita was all dressed and ready to go oil with him womanlike, curse hert He saw me coming. His horso was there. He waited for me. Oh, the fel low was game enough. I said nothing, but opened on him. The girl being there mast havo made me nervous, for I missed my man for the first time. And then?" Why, he pumped me full of lead ! fore 1 could pall trigger. Hit me five times. Then ho mounted and swung the girl up in front of him. Old Ramon catno up and opened on him. I got np and followed suit. Ho got back at ns once his last cartridge and caught Ramon, for I heard him groan. Then the tenderfoot yelled and rode off. Boys, give me a big drink, l m done for. And when they brought the drink a fast chilling corpse was all that was left of Pete from Denver to drink it. And Chiquita? Chiquita went to a convent in St. Louis, and left there four years later a cultured and magnificently beautiful Woman. She will bo pleased to receive any ot Mr. Herries' friends at her lovely homo in the Hack bay district lu Boston, and If you succeed in pleasing her she wil( tell you 01 that awful nlgut at llcturo Canyon when a "tenderfoot" from Bos ton showed how "tenderfeet" can fight when a sweetheart is at stake.

James Whltcomb Riley. How the Indian Prays, "Prayer Is the soul's sincere desire, nnuttefed or expressod." And the man ner of expressing desire may differ wide ly. Tho Indian may be as religions as lo tho Presbyterian, yet ho never kneels when ho prays. He never addresses the deity by word of mouth njb all. Yet he oskj for the blessings ho needs, and asks for them with as much faith and as much reverence asdocs'hls whiter broth er. They want n good corn crop and they gather a handful ot green twigs or grasses, bind them together with a rev erent faith that the deity is willing and able to help them; they lay tho emblems Or bang them in a place where tho sun vj m shlno upon them and leave, assured tjui( their prayer has been heard. It may not be answered. The corn may not prosper right away, but they are Iq no wise discouraged. They bind together another emblem and offer It in another place. Some places have partic ular favor. It is believed the deity eeos them place them there better than in Bother places. It is simply the tlan's Idea of Banctuary In another Chicago Herald. Commercial Women and llusbands.

REMARKABLC ARMY THAT WENT TO CAPTURE THE HOLY LAND. Thousand, of Innocent IJvrn Sacrificed tleeflnse of Ignorant BnthnKlMaiWlien Intelligent Knights Took 1'art, Tlotory Ctinto Men Who Led. Peter tho Hermit was n monk nf ii cardy, who bad made n pilgrimage tn Jerusalem, While there he had wit nessed the Bufferings of thono who trh'd to preserve the trne faith among tbi hordes of barbarians who had swarmed upon and now possessed tho lands "1 Asia Minor. Ho saw the shocking prnf anations of tho sacred places of tho Hnlv City, and his heart burned within hir: to release It from its oppression. At nighttime dreams came to him from which it was pointed out to him that his mission was to rouse the natloro of Fm ropo to a holy war. Fired with this ambition, he made his way back to France. The reports ot his powerful preaching spread, and greater numbers flock each day to hear him Finally, in November of 1003, such a company is gathered as probably ha never been seen together before. The plain of La Llmagne, in Anvergni', was covered with white tents, In which were lodged 80,000 people, 4,000 priests and 400 bishops and abbots were thore, while also there was there one man who was mightier than all of them, Urban II, pope of Rome, to whom all western Europo did homage. A lofty stand had been erected In the open nlr, for no building would occom modato the throng. Upon this sat the pope, and besido him stood the hermit. holding nioit tne cross, witn ourning words nnd tearful eyes ho described the shameful sights he had witnessed in Jerusalem, and called for volunteers To go with him to wrest the Holy City from the infidel. His appeal was seconded by Urban. who promised all who fought that if they won the land they conquered should be theirs; while if they died a place in heaven should surely be their reward. The cross was held out to them and they wore invited to come forward and take it to wear upon their persons ns the badge of their devotion. Adhlmar de Monterl, bishop of Pay. was the first to come forward, and thou sands poured after htm. The excitement spread and all Europe resounded with the preparations for this undertaking. Peter, with excess ot zeal and absolute lack of wisdom, gathered a multitude of peasant men, women and children, unarmed and unprovided with the sustenance for the march which he undertook to lead in person to Jerusa lem across tho mountainous parts of central Europe. Extorting food from tho people among whom they passed, and set upon by them In revenge, the pilgrims fell in every road, cnt down by sickness, star vation and tho sword. Others no doubt ran back to their deserted homes, until In Hungary Peter found himself alone. Meanwhile a very different army had been gathering on all sides, made up of the very flower of chivalry of all the European nations. Godfrey de Bouillon, duke of Lor- isine, the Count ot Toulaun, Barmond, Tancred, Felei de la Fiicns and many another warrior whoso name stands high In history led their armies to Join tlir host William Rut us was now king of Eng land, a man so avaricious and unscrupu lous that be never hesitated to take by force any possession ot his nobles that was left unguarded. Under such a mas ter it is not strange that tho English no blcs were loath to leave their castles for so long a Journey, and henco few Eng lisll names have figured in the first cru sade. Impetuous, improvident, trustful Rob ert of Normandy, however, who never could remember evil ot his brother the next day after ho had most cruelly abused him, now tnms to Williom for aid. His generous heart barning to re lievo the sufferings of the Holy Laud leads him to sacrifice evef y f ntnro pros pect for the purpose of obtaining thi means of gratifying the present Impulse lie mortgages lilt duchy of Normandy to his brother William Rnfus, ldnrr of England, and with his money thus ob tained fits out his portion of tho holy army. The science of navigation was In tnat age too crude to be able to provide means ot transit for so largo an army by water, and the whole force, 500,000 inrantry and iw.vuo cavalry, marcnea by land across central Europe and over the Hellespont into Asia Minor. The pitiless sun, the flinty, soil, a strange climate, lack of food, want of water, all fought on the side of the Turk against tho Crusaders, and the path of the devoted army was marked by a trail of graves. At Nlcea, at Antioch, and in other places the contending armies met. As a general thing the Crusaders were victo rious, and on a January morning in IW! the advancing army, Tancred in th' lead, ascending a bill, looked for thr first time upon the city ot Jerusalem. General and soldier, princo and peasant, fell prostrate upon the ground. Soma wept for joy at tho sight; others with sorrow, because above the temple and thosepulcher the crescent of Mo hammed glistened In the sun. The siege which followed lasted (ur months, and when nt last the city was taken the few Inside whom the assaults had spared fell by the swords of the crm querors. In making arrangements for govern ing the city the conquerors decided to elect one of their number king, and tho crown was offered to Robert of Nor mandy, who declined It Afterward Godfrey de Bouillon, who seems to have been an irreproachable knight, was chosen to this high place with its cares, but would not take this title nor the crown, He made a most successful ruler until his death, only one year later, Thus ended the first Crusade Bc-hm Courier, Vovember In American History.
