:ho "draw." When the man camp as
fur as the spring he stood perfectly mo
tionless a long time. It seemed an hfr
to t'lctn. Who could not from whore

if the shoep-xheii dtstingulKh his fea

and shook his list In the direction of
the cabin, then turned and came so nonr
Clem she thought he could hear the
lieatlng nf her heart. She pressed her
handover the dog's mouth, und the in
telligent aninuil divined he was to be
Hilent.
As the man passed Clem pot a fair
look at him, and dim as the star-shine
wus. she saw it whs Lon. He never
looked- around, however, but hesitated
a few moments,' and then slowly and
Koftly approached the cabin wherfl
Alph and his herder were,' as she sup
posed, sleeping. Lon having reached
the cabin, .crouched In a corner, where
the darkness was clinging In deep
shadows. What his object was t'lent
.could not determine, as from her luce
of concealment she watched hiin anx
JniiHly. Suddenly In the distance she
lieurd the sound of wheels. Whnt
could It mean? Then she remembered
that Alph had talked of going to town
lor some supplies. He often drove In
after the day's work was through. Her
heart was beating violently. What
should she do? Slie must warn Alph
In some way of his danger. Romi
three hundred yards down the draw
narrowed to a few feet. If only, she
could reach It unobserved, .-she1 rmild
Mop Alph and warn him. Calling
Jack with a mute sign, she passed
rapidly round the corral, and entered
the lied of the little stream that ran
down the draw. There was not much
water In at this time of the year, and,
as the channel was deep, Clem kept
herself concealed below the banks until
Bhe was a hundred yards beyond the
cabin. Then she ascended to the level
und ran swiftly toward the coming
wugon she reached the narrow part
of the druw just as Alph came up with
the ponies. . They shied affrighted ut
-theapiKtrltion.
"Alph. Alph. stop." she cried.
Alph knew her voice, and In na In
stant sprung from the wagon und was
tit her side.- '
"Why, Clem! "What Is the matter?"
"Oh, Alph!" cried Clem, shivverlng
and sobbing, "It's I.011.",
"Lori!"
"Yes, yea, at the cabin waiting for
you."
"At the cabin!"
"Yes, I was sitting by the window I
could not sleep. I was so troubled I
Haw hiin stealing over the prairie and I
followed him Jack and I. and he went
bwn the draw and hid himself in a
niche In the cabin, and is watting for
you. Oh. Alph, I'm so afraid! lie
wants to kill you. I'm sure." .
"Well!" , said Alph. "It does look as
though he meant mischief, but" kiss
ing her tenderly, "you stay with the
ponies and I'll go clown to the ranch
;nd Interview the fellow."
"No. no. Alph, not for the world
tvould I let you go alone."
,. "Well, what then?"
"Let me go with you oh, do. Alph."
"Well, sweetheart. If yon must."
Alph fastened the ponies, und they
went hand In hand for the ranch, fol
lowed by Jack. They kept In the
alraclow of the bushes that fringed the
bank of the little stream for some dis
tance, und then descended into it.

stooping so as to conceal themselves as
they silently threaded the torturous
tunnel. When they came opposite to
the cubin, Alph took a look through u
rent In the bushes, but In the dim stur
slhfne he could not discern Lou's hid
ing place. All wus quiet save the mu
sical tinkles of the tiny stream, and
above their heads was the peaceful sky
glowing with the brilliancy of Innu
merable slurs.
After waiting u few minute Clem
linally consented to let Alph Work his
way round the corral. This he did, and
came back to Clem down the bed of the
stream and reported that lxn was no
where to be seen.
"Suppose 1- send Jack out," whis
pered Clem,
"Very well," assented Alph.
"io ilnd l.nii Jack," said Clem, in a
low tone.
The intelligent dog started und fol
lowed Lou's, tracks to the cabin, and
then ran down the draw ami disap
peared. Clem vressed Alph's hand, for
Lon must have gone toward the wag
on. Uut preseut Jack returned and
ascended the draw, shouting that the
trail went In that direction. In the
com so of a few minutes the dog came
back und crouched ut Clem's feet with
a low whine.
"Lon has gone home." cried t lein.
"Yes." "nijitented ' Alph, "and now I
must see you there."
No, I -can go ivlone. I'm not a bit
afraid for mvfeir, "hut. oh, Alph, my
heart Is so heavy with fear for you.
"Yuit must not worry so, sweet
heart." said Alph, kissing her tender
ly, "f shall be on guard now. Hut let
liie saddle a,pony for you now and take
yon home."'
"No. Alph." said Clem. "Lon may he
concealed somewhere waiting for us
and he would hear the pony. We must
wulk."
"Well, I shall let you have your way
this time," replied the lover.
Ann In arm they awendod the draw
to the open prairie, Alph scrutinizing
every place where a man might con
ceal himself, but he saw nothing of
Lon. When they came to the house,
Hem flung to Alph ns though she
could not let him go. Alph kissed her
again and ugain ami liude her good
night, saying that Lon and he must
have an understanding In the morn
ing. "Oh; Alph. It .you could only go away
for awhile." 1
No" said Alph, firmly, "I could not
do that." '
Clem watched her lover until his
form dlsunneaived in the darkness, and
then went upstairs to her room with
out being observed, but she sat long at
her window, and the dawn began to
stain the east before her eyes were
closed in slumber. When, some time
in the forenoon, Alph came to the
ranch, he was met by Clem, who told
him that Lon had disappeared and left
no word.
Alph was naturally courageous and
unsuspicious, and he made light of
Lon's nocturnal journey.
"Now, sweetheart, you must promise
me not to make any more tramps nt
night. Lon could not sleep, and he
Walked to make himself drowsy. If he
intended to injure me, he would have
done It ore this. These jealous pas
sions wear themselves out. Now you
must not worry any more, darling,"
said Alph, hopefully.
,"Oh, Alph." and he felt her tremble
In his arms, "1 have such forebodings.
If I only could plead with Lon, but
he gives nie no opportunity to speak
to him. and oh, the look I saw in his
face when I told him I was going to
marry you, and his conduct last night
oh. It makeR me so feaivul."
'Nonsense, Clem. You know I shall
soon take you away, and then Lon will
look out for some one else."
Clem's face was suffused for the mo
ment with a happy blush, but the oM
fear soon returned to her. If It were only
some tangible trouble she would Ilnd
means to light It. but how could
-' ' against a suspicion, a
shadow?. .. Yet. Lon surely ineunt mis
chief when he went in the middle of
the night to Alph's cabin In that
stealthy way. -
It had been agreed between Clom and
Alph that they should be married Im
mediately after the shearing. And prep
arat is were now making for the sim
ple wedding In the ranch house. The
plain wedding gown was made, and In
the preparation' for the 'wedding feast
Clem's time was taken up. so she hail
no time for brooding. Lou had not re
turned, and her fears, while not dis
pelled, were not so .active
The wedding night came, guests and
minister arrived, und all wus bustle
und Joyous confusion Ciein was clad
In her soft snow-white guwn. und all
"How Alph Will l.mifili at .Me." .she
1 bought.
said she was the prettiest bride they
ever a.v. Indeed. Clem was a fairy,
who inade'eveiy spot enchanted ground.
Several times Clem's eyes caught sight
of her revolver lying in its accustomed
place, but she thought It would be fool
ish to carry It when she was going to bp
man led. but flnplly. she could not ex
plain why, she picked It up and plai-ed
It In the pocket of her dress. "How
Alph will laugh at me." she thought.
Shortly after this the slmpli; mar
riage service was proceeding In the lit
tle room. Alph and Clem standing In
front of the guests, facing the minister.
"Alfred, will fliou. hov this, woman
to be thy wedded wife?"1 .
"1 will," said Alph.. in a. firm, clear
voice.
"Clematis wilt thou have this man to
be thy. wedded husband?" -'
-I wUV-ald'Clem In a low hut audi
ble tone. ' . - ' t
"Then I pronounce you husband and
wife." ... ...
"Let us pr ' The minister did not
finish the sentence,, for the startled
guests and friends saw Clem turn with
a revolver in her hand, and then heard
two almost simultaneous pistol shots.
There were screaming, shouting and
wildest confusion - and terror In the
bridal-room. It was noticed that Clem
clutched Alph convulsively, and then
fainted.
The forebodings that had filled the
heart of Clem had been verified In a
Dm
t range and awful manner. ; As the
marriage cervlce was proceeding
Clem's eyes were drawn, by a atrunge
attraction, to the old mirror which
hung u llftle to her right. It was quite
large uud Ht us ait heirloom, buy
ing lieen a present from h-r maternal
grandmother. She obnervnl that Bhe
could see in It the reflection of the open
window on the opposite- side of the
room, for all the wlndown were raised,
the evening being very warm. The
guests could not see the minor, os.lt
was behind them.
When the minister began to say:
"Let us pray," Clem's ey?s were fasci
nated, her heart ceased to beat, the
blood forsook her face, for there in the
glass she saw Lon's face, and extended
hand and in that haout a revolver
pointed at Alph.
If tie pistol had been pointed at her
self, Clem would have been helpless, but
when she saw it directed at hr lover
all the latent mother, the tiger-feeling
was aroused in her.
No longer did It take the pendulum
In the old clock to make Us lazy swing,
than was Clem In seizing her revolver,
turning and tiring.
Then she clutched Alph and fainted.
Alph caught her us she was falling, and
carried her und laid her on the lounge.
When, after a long time she came to
consciousness, Alph was holding her
hands and bending 'over her, the big
tears running down his face.
"Oh. Alph, are you hurt?"
"Not a scratch, dearest. Be quiet
now for a little while."
"Thank Cod," and there was a long
slrTh.
"And Lon?" she said, after a time.
"He will never trouble you again,"
said Alph.
indeed Clem had shot the tvould-be
assassin through the heart, and he
dlcU before Clem came to conscious
ness, with a "cuise him" cm his lips.
The ball nhot from Lon's revolver,
diverted by Clem's shot. Htruck the old
mirror, und bored throuaU it a tiny
hole, from which radiated long lines of
cleavage. It wus the unanimous ver
dict at the inquest that Clem hud saved
her lover's life.
It was months before Clem regained
her cheerfulness, but time? and love
triumph over all thltipti, and serenity
and pence came buck ugain to Clem's
heart. Now there is no one more hap
py, und certainly no one more beauti
ful, than the mistress of the Lung
Kanch In far western Kansas.
(The End.)
INDUSTRIAL,
According to the Philadelphia Inquir
er, the anthracite trade has received
with apathy the announcement of the
formation of a new coal combination
and the severe restriction in mining
operations. There has been no rush to
buy coal. A few orders have come In
for small cargoes to patch out stocku,
but this hus been about all the buying
The weather has been too mild to cause
an active retail demand and wholesalers
have such considerable stocks on hand
that they are under no necessity of buy
Ing now. Prices have really been ad
vanced to the circular adopted by the
sales agents, and are held there. It Is
not considered probable any tdiange will
he made before April. The western
trade is nlso dull. The restric tion of
the week has enabled the companies to
get u good many cars thut were stand
ing upon the tracks unloaded and avail
able for service once more. Hut It will
be necessary to restrict the otitprt
sharply for the balance of the month hi
order that the excessive stocks nt stor
age yards shall be reduced to an ordin
ary working supply. While so much
unsold coal remainsabove prround prices
can hardly be advanced much, and un
til the weather becomes colder the de
mand cannot become large.
The new electric locomotive upon
which tleorge AVestinghouse, Jr., has
been working for months pust, has nt
last been completed by the Baldwins
of Philadelphia and will soon receive
a trial on the Turtle Creek branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad In l'!ast Pitts
burg. It Is described as an odd-looking
contrivance. To the ordinary eye it ap
pears very much like a common box car.
It Is thirty feet long and of the same
width and height us the box freight
car. Hut there the resemblance stops.
The new electric locomotive Is painted
a handsome dark green and striped witii
broad bands of gold. There are win
dows on both sides, like those in an or
dinary passenger coach. The whnl
thing Is mounted upon elht wheels,
distributed In two four-wheel truck.
As the new locomotive left the Huldwl'.i
shops It weighed thirty tons. The West
Inghouse company will tidcl another
thirty tons in the shape of electrical
mechanism, making a total weight of
sixty tons. This Is near the weight of
an ordinary steam locomotive for pas
senger use. A great advantage of th'i
electric locomotive Is that to Increase
the pulling power It Is not necessary to
add to the original weight of the en
gine. Although the new engine is thir
ty feet long, u compartment only eight
feet square is all that will he required
for the electrical mechanism that ap
pears above the floor. That compart
ment Is In the forward end. The othet
twenty-two feet of space can be utilized
for any purpose, such as a caboose for
trainmen, a tool car. a xmoklnfr car.
or a wo' k car. The Interior is litted up
plainly, but run be made quite comfort
able. A cowcatcher is attac hed In front,
und also an electric headlight that wtil
make the track bright as the noonday
for nearly half a mile. This locomotive
will curry no coal, no boiler; no lender,
no firebox, no water to make steam. The
only thing will be the powerful motor
somewhat on the order of the motor
used in trolley curs, but very much
larger. One man will run It. lie will
be called t lie driver, iusteud of un ensi
neer or a niotortiian. No lirenian will

be necessary, and It I predicted that
that (lass of .railroaders will soon be
extinct. The driver will be located in
the little compartment at the front end
of the locomotive. He will view the
track from a window directly in front,
and ubove the powerful searchlight, in
stead of ut the side of the ral. where
the engineers now stand. He will turn
the current on and off like a trolley
niotorman. but will use a much largei
controller or lever. Air brakes will be
oerated by the new locomotive Just
the same as on the steam locomotives.
There will be an electric air pump, and
It is claimed that it will be possible to
stop a train much more quickly, per
haps in half the space of time that is
now required. Everything about the
liK-omotlve Is steel. It has 800 horse
power, but for short distances it can
be geared to produce 1,800 horse power.
The machine will be used as a freight
locomotive, and will run forty miles an
hour, pulling a loaded train. It can be
geared, by a very simple and speedy
process, to run eighty miles an hour.
This will not requlre'uny extra weight
In the locomotive or any change in con
struction. A few changes in levers and
the thing is done. There will bo differ
ent styles of the electric locomotives,
those for passenger use being much
lighter and far speedier. The one now
completed has the original horse power
of u Pennsylvania railroad freight en
gine', but It will be able to pull a loaded
train foity miles an hour, whereas the
Pennsylvania railroad is now content
with from twelve to. fifteen miles. For
fast freight eighty miles can be at
tained, so that the crack limited ex
presses of today will tiecesburily soon
be tormed slow coaches. The power to
run the thing will be taken from an
overhead trolley, or from the Wheeless
undergiound system. The Wheeless un
derground system consists of under
ground wires and butteries, the power
being transferred to the motor by
means of a long steel shoe, fastened to
the bottom of the locomotive. This
shoe comes In contact with poles or but
tons, placed underground between the
tracks, every seven feet, the frone of the
shoe Just touching a forward button us
It leaves the one behind. In this way
the current Is cut off from behind the
cur after the shoe leaves the peg or but
ton. Everything In this system Is sub
stantial, and Is considered by Mr. West
lughouse, who secured control of the
patents governing It, and made many
improvements upon it. the future means
of electrical motive power. The trolley
will be attached to the new locomotive
as on any ordinary trolley car. although
It Is probable a newly-invented trolley
made by Westlnghouse. In which the
contract is from the side of the pole,
will be used. Railroads using electric
locomotives will necessarily have to
equip with the trolley or underground
systems, and place In several power
plants along the line. The cost of ne
of the new electric locomotives is $10,u00,
about equal to that of an ordinary
steam locomotive.
RAILROAD NOTES.
fleneral Manager Hays, of the firand
Trunk, has Issued a circular calling
for bids for 4:10.000 tons of coal for use
by the company's locomotives, to be
distributed at various points.
fieneral passenger agents of Western
lines have agreed to make no further
concessions In rates to the Knights of
Pythias for their encampment, to be
held at Minneapolis next summer.

'rin;
So 1 Ilnd smiles on mituro's face,
These paltry baubles, I despise 'em.
The Idle fair nf folly's code,
I have no wish to disabuse 'cm,
Nor set noon a manlier road
The fops whose trade is to amuse 'em.
The humblest flower nmld the grass
Is worthier 'thought, in my opinion,
Than any laced und perfumed uss
In pompous fashion's dull dominion.
Let honest toilers bless their lot,
Nor let the painted show deceive 'cm.
For worth Is not where toil Is not
And Idle hands have Ills to grieve 'em.
Where lovely nature's open arms
Await but your desire to bind you,
Co dwell 'midst her abo'indliig charms
And leave all envious hates behind you,

mira Citizen's Last kesource
Proves u Success.
f From the F.lmira Gazette.
To you know Mr. J. B. Bodder. of 214
South Main street? He lias been a
business man and permanent resident
of Glmlra for over twenty years. A
man whose statement cannot be dis
puted. Well, Mr. Bodder's case in a
nutshell is that he has been a sufferer
from kidney disorders, but doesn't suf
fer ny more. We will let him tell
what has, brought about the change.
Here la how he spoke of his; case to our
representative: "I have never been
well since the closing of the war, where,
in the service of my country, I con
tracted kidney and bladder disorders.
The complaint has gradually been
growing on me. I had sharp pains
In the smnll of my back, just
back of the hips, and when they left It
was only to be followed by a dull, heavy
pain which remained continually. I
could llo In but one or two positions In
bed or the pain would be almost un
bearable, l was always very sore
over the kidneys, und the urine emitted
a strong odor. At times I felt evtur.
I ence u task. I tiled this, that and the
otner ining, to no avail, and was on the
verge or giving up entirelv when I saw
Doan'n Kidney Pills advertised. I
thought as a last resort 1 would give
them a trial: they were highly recom
mended, and 1 would use Just this one
more remedy. 1 began taking them,
and I am very glad Indeed to give my
statement, that suffering humanity may
receive the same benefit I have. A few
doses of Doan's Kidney Pills satislied
me they were helping ine. Now the
pain is all gone, and 1 urn entirely well
this, after years of sickness. My
sleep at night Is good and refreshing.
I do not feel any more that tired feel
Ing I used to on rising, all thanks due
to Doan's Kidney Pills."
Doan'a Kidney Pills are for sale bv
all dealers. Price &t) cents per box, six
boxes for J2.50. r:y mull on receipt ot
