I Why His Reason Tottered An Adventure with Man-Hunter. St WITHOUT any reason whatever, my strange cornpanion grneped my arm with a clutch like a vise, and, with a-bjec terror depicted upon every feature of hla countenonce.cxclalmetl: "Save me 1 Save me! Theyareafter me again!" "Who are after you?" I asked, vain ly trying to disengage his painful hold on my arm. "ThBe real estate men. They'll shoot me. See." And he pointed out of the car window to two peaceable looking gentlemen who were approach ing the train with fowling-pieces slung over their phouldera. At this moment a small man, with alert, nervous eyes, who had been In almost constant attendance upon the German, entered the Boioking-com-partme-nt of the Pullman ani said: "Never mind, Jake. It's all right. I hnvw got them In the next cor where they can't harm yon. See, Tve got my guna with me. and no one can hurt you while I am around." "Ya it loaded?" "Yea. I thtak yon had aettr goto bed now, whils I sit tip svod protect you." "Ye, that would be petter," wiid the German, greatly assured. I felt sure that theae two men were as crazy a bedbugs, am! I ltt s fresh cigar to think. I wa traveling from Sao Francisco to London, and up to this moment bad een nothing eceentrlo about tbe Ger man except bis rather grotesque ap pearance. He and his companion were intensely interesting characters, but they seemed harmless, II they were interesting before, tbey were doubly so now. After awhile tbe littleman re turned, and, throwing himself wearily upon the cushioned seat opposite sne, taldt "Now that I have got my trouble some friend to bed, Ttl take a rest. Hell not stir, I can teM you, so long oa he tblnies there are Los Angete real estate men on the train. "Wvafa the matter with hrm?" I said. "Off here." And he tapped; his fore head significantly. "There's a boom on at Los Angeles, you know, and the real rutate men scared him outofhlewits." "You don't say so?" "Yea. About six weeks ago our de tective agency In San Francisco re ceived Instructions from a New York attorney to locate the whereabouts of Jacob Schmidt, who had not been heard from for some time, and I was assigned the tank. A fine time I had of it, I can tell you." And the detective meditatively puffed great ring of smoke from his pipe. "Get him. to tell you about his adventures fa southern California. You will find it amusing. He's taken o great fancy to you says you saved his life just now. He Is sure you couldn't be so dishonorable as to have anything to do with real estate." It was a strange story I kevi from Mr. Jacob Schmidt by piecemeal dur ing the next few days. A story of ad venture which might bare sent many better man than he off hi head ; a tale 110 one would credit who had not gone through that Los Angelea boom; one that I could not have credited had not the sad havoc wrought in the other wise sane mind of Jacob Schmidt been dally apparent'as we traveled to ward the Atlandtio seaboard. About 20 years previous to this tlms Jacob and Fruu Schmidt crossed the Atlantlo, and, following the Teutonic Instinct, they opened a corner grocery la the suburb of Brooklyn. In 18S8 report were rile of the great specu lative fever that had seized southern California, and of the fortunes that were made in a day; and as a buyer resented himself at that time, Jacob Schmidt decided to sell for a snug little cum and reck his fortune in the far west All In good time the honest and Imple-hearted Teuton arrived nt Pes sdena, where he had been advUed to pause and look around. To the con servative tourist from the effete east the scene of pandemonium at the depot nrast have been appalling. Carriages, omnibuses and innumerable buggies lined the curb. Tbe carriage-men were shouting, hotel-runners yelling, bat above all t h din and jostling of the crowd ueard the sonorous and n'.nrS-f roloea of the real estate run 11 en, shouting: Tree ride all over the eltyl Landed safely at you hotel!" The passengers were button-holed the element they stepped off the train and hustled, willy-nilly, ofT to the hup?!. AA was exciting, bewllderinr. ; Jake 6chmt(T was laberlonr'r ( gseti fling Ui steps of tfcs PuUaau vUu l tvtsvy grip ia m Was! and aatMaV I pm u us outer, woes a tau, nsre- Jooidng man, with shsggy eyebrows and booby mustache, said to his small er and milder-looking companion: "Here's our sucker, Jim. Look ont the other fellows don't get him.' As the German stepped upon the platform, the small man snatched his umbrella and valise, while the tall man clutched him firmly by the arm and shonlder and rushed him toward a buggy. Instantly a great crowd surged around them, yelling like demon and poking cards in tbe face of the fright ened German. "Hurry up, Jim. Here, quick, let's land him." And before Jake could col lect his scattered senses he was grasped on either side by his arm nnd legs and lifted bodily into the buggy. The tall man jumped In and lashed the horse, and they went tear ing up the street like mad. Jake thought of hli money, of his wife, and little Gretchen, and be moaned the day he ever left them. He could not doubt that he had fallen among robber, and, as they emerged from the city, he waa sure he was be ing taken to therr den in tbe moun tains that towered menacingly near. His heart stood still at the thought, What would they do with him? Meanwhile the real estate man talked Incessantly, pointed out the advan tages of Pasadena as a place of resi dence, occasionally stopping to go into raptures over a certain lot which he advised the German to purchase at once, as it would double in value in 24 hours. But his eloquence fell un heeded upon n mind oblivious of all but its own heart-sick misery. Every time the real estate man knitted his thaggy eyebrows and turned on him those piercing gray eyes, Jake shud dered. At last, weary of his unprofitable task, the tall man cast an angry glance at the trembllngCermnn and in silence drove him to a hotel. Throwing his luggage after him, the real estate man drove away disheartened, after in forming Jake that another member of his firm would call at four o'clock, hop ing, no doubt, that some one else would have better luck in inducing tbe Ger man to purchase a town lot. Now, Jake had no desire or inten tion of meeting another member of that firm, either at four o'clock or any other time, and finding that the train left In 15 minutes tor Los Aogeleo, he .mad his way fo the depot in ell possible haste. If the scene si tbe depot at Pasa dena was bewildering, exciting, alarm ing, It was ten trmes more so at Los Angeles. Schmidt sat as if riveted to his seat, and dared not venture forth until the porter notified him with great dignity that the train had reached Ita destination, intimating quite pointed ly that bis absence waa infinitely more desirable than his company. As Jake alighted from the car, he perceived the door of a carriage standing invitingly open on the other side of. the court and made for ft on tbe ran, the rabble-after him. He bolted head foremost into the vehicle, and the hackman, being suf Aclently up to the situation, sent his horses off at a gallop, and landed-him safely at the hotel. Jacob Schmidt congratulated himself upon his nar row escape. Nevertheless, when he de seended to dinner that evening, he glanced furtively In all directions, but as the way appeared to be clear he walked confidently along the corridor. Just at he was entering the dining room, he was suddenly confronted by two men who politely bowed and at tempted to band him some cards. "Haf no time to talk," said Jake, hastily, looking for au avenue of es cape, ' "How very fortunate," aaid the spokesman. "We are also very short of time. But there is no place more conducive to a good business under standing than the dining-room." And the three walked into the dining-room, arm in arm. One of tbe men spread, map out on tbe table, and they took turns in explaining the advantages of certain properties in Los A&gerte that were advancing In value at an extraor dinary pace. Jake felt helpless, while the waiter tried1 frantically to gt their order. "Oh, bring ns anything, and bs ss long abont it as yo like," said one ef wahsr slate. formed that ease ef the aaea wsZkl ssUl for him at nine o'clock in the Bon ing and take hint out to see tbe prop erty. In consequence of which threat it seemed to Jake a threat he passed a very bad night Dut he was up bright and early in the morning, and having ascertained that there were fewer real estate men io Ban Diego, he took the early train for that point. That there were fewer real estate men In San Diego was true, but it seemed to Jake that they were of a more virulent type. The terrible ex perlenoea of tbe post few days, which had already played sad havoc with his serves and upset the equilibrium of his simple Teutonic mind, had, never theless, developed In him a remarka ble degree of cunning. Getting off on the opposite side of the train from where the crowd had gathered., he skulked around behind box-cars until he reached the street above the depot, and there taking a enrringe, he was driven to nn uptown hotel. Ho was chuckling over the success of his de vice us he paid e driver; and, valise and umbrella In hand, he turned to enter the hotel, when he came face to face with a man. bowing and tcrap!ng. who said, politely: "Jacob Schmidt, I believe." v The vuliso and the umbrella dropped from the nerveless hands of Jacob Schmidt, and he trembled like a leaf. "Rather nervous, I see. Sorry. Out on a jag last sight, eh? Well, Til see that you have a good time while here, old boy, Wlde-oren town, yew know. ftp.. TV'" ' V.. (1 Tml ct.x:," t-li :L ::.; ct.&vs oxi, ta- eeuragisgiy, as he pi eked op the valise and umbrella and threw them to the porter. After ahsldne; the German cordially by the hand, he linked his arm in hla and escorted him into the hotel. "Mr. Schmidt, Mr. O'Brien," said the real estate man, introducing the Ger man to the hotel proprietor. "Gentle man sent on from our house in Los Angeles. Tired, I suppose want to rest, eh? Well, wel, see you this svening eight o'clock." And Mr. Thomas Bragg, real estate broker, winked his eye significantly, and ejac ulated, "You know," and, wringing Jake's limp hand, retired. "now soon can I get out of this city?" asked Jake of the astonished O'Brien. "At four o'clock to Los Angeles." "No! no! Mein Gott in hlmmel! Not to Los Augelesl" cried Juke in terror. "Then to San Francisco by steamer to-morrow night." "Goot. Buy me a tlgget. Can you gif roe a quiet room and haf all my meals sent dare?" "Certainly." "I am rick. Don't tell no von my numper. I don't vant to see no pody." Upon belnir refused admittunce to Mr. Schmidt's apartment that even ing, Mr. Thomas Bragg, the real es tate broker, felt morally certnln that some competitor had got hold of his man and got him "jngped," and in wardly cursed himself for his weak ness in not staying with him. He then nnd there determined to see Mr. bohmidt at all hazards. The next morning he watched for the waiter to take up the breakfast, and after he had retired, Bragg knocked loudly at the door. Jake waa so terrified that he locked himself In the closet. Sud denly the knocking at the door ceased, and. after cautiously surveying the room, he ventured out and resumed his meal. In a few moments he heard a sound near the door, and. looking up. he saw, with open-mouth amaze ment, the head and shoulders of Bragg, renl estate broker, framed in tbe transom window. The knife nnd fork dropped from the helpless hands of the German. "So. you will go out with one of my competitors and cut me out. will you?" "Go avay, go avny," Jake plteously Implored. "Not much. I won't go awoy until you have taken my propositions un der consideration with those of my competitors." And he whisked out a map from an inside pocket. At this critical juncture Jake's cun ning asserted Itself. Approaching the dooT as if to take the proffered map, be slyly turned the screw that held the rod supporting the transom sash, and bang! went the window upon the head of Thomas Bragg. There was a great crash as the real estate man fell backward off tbe ladder, followed by a volley of oaths. "Yes, It was a great chase I had, to be sure," continued the detective. "I first located him at Tasadena by the discovery of his truni, andi followed his trail thence to Los Angeles, San Diego end San Francisco. He spent a day at the Baldwin hotel then all trace of him disappeared. I was baf fled for weeks. One 3ay, while stand ing on Grant avenue, I noticed a ragged urchin, carrying a parcel of food, enter one of the old and almost tenanfless buildings in that quarter. Why I stopped and questioned the lad I cannot say. "'Oh, there's an old guy I carry grub to upstairs,' he said. 'But I mustn't say nothln' "bout it.' "'It's all right,' I answered, show ing hhn my star, '111 go up with you.' "I followed tbe lad tin to a fourth story garret and entered a room after him. "'Mein Gott In hinimel! The real estate man has found me. Take dot money. Don't gill me, don't gill me! Oh, mein frau mine little Gretchen!' wailed the inmate of the room, crouch ing In a corner. It wfts none other than our friend Jacob Schmidt, very dirty and disheveled. I took my cue In on Instaot. 'I don't wont yoor money,' I said; 'I have been sent here by your fran to protect you against the real estate man nnd take you home to her and the httle Gretchen.' And poor Jacou MCfimldt wept tears of joy upon my neck. I am now filling the in teresting role of protector and de fender against the fierce southern Calffornla real estate agents." Such is the history of the adven tures of Mr. Jacob Schmidt, grocer, in the far, far west, who is probably the only man who ever roturned to his eastern home from the Los Angeles boom with exactly the same amount of money, less expenses, that he brought with bim. Yet at what a price was the snug sum from the sale of the grocery store husbanded for his frau and little Gretchen! Only their loving care suceecded in. weaning that shattered intellect from tho ter rors of a pursuing Nemesis the Los Angeles boom real estate man of 18S7. Franklin H.

A dozen years ago, when the good roads agitation was started, and the early workers began to sow tbe seed that they hoped would bring forth fruit a hundredfold, they bad the ex perience that always falls to the lot of tbe sower some seed fell upon good ground; some fell where there was lit tle depth of earth; some fell among thorns, and others by tbe wayside. It was not expected that ull seed oould be sown on good land, nor that all which should be sown would spring up to bear fruit. In such an undertak ing it was more than ever necessary to follow the example which nature sets, and sow with wanton bounty, in order that here and there some might , take root. In nature's economy, pro vision to guard against loss and pre vent failure Is made with a lavish hand, and thousands of blossoms and seeds are blown hither and thither to every one that rests In good soil and germinates. It was thus with the doctrine of bet ter roads. When that gospel began ROAD AT COOLDAUOH. FA. (People Corns from a Long Distance tV Oselt) to bo preached k fell upon a few will ing ears; some received It with joy and profited by It. Many more who heard it were heedless and indifferent; they listened, were Interested for the mo ment, and then forgot it aU. Then there were many more who would not hear, or who, hearing, would not un derstand. Lastly, there were those who rebelled at the doctrine, who an tagonized it, who controverted it, and who sought in every way to refute it. Nevertheless, tbo gospel of good roads continued to be preached with unremitting seal until everyone had heard or had tbe opportunity to bear K. Into many seetions of the country it penetrated slowly, and the recep tivity of mind of those who heard it varied widely. The majority aroused themselves but slowly to a realization of Its truths. It was "line upon line, precept uposV precept, here a little and there a Utile the same truth repeated and reiterated in a thousand ways. At first a consideration of tho ob jects and advantages of permanent highways Is relied upon to arouse in terest and show what can be gained by instituting a course of improve ments. This part of the subject may be handled in a thousand ways, and be repeated o'er and o'er. It la a pre liminary and all-important step. When interest Is aroused, an Investiga tion of the conditions that actually obtain reveals much that is surpris ing, and the character of improve ments that should be made then sug gests Itself. Then follows a compari son of methods of construction nnd systems of care and repair, together with the cost of the same and, finally, an examination of the "ways and means," or the moat just and equitable manner of apportioning the expense. Tbe work is all new to our country, and experience elsewhere can only serve as a partial guide to a large extent we must work out the problem for ourselves. This requires time and patience and no little experiment. It needs courage and determination, and, as the work moves on step by step, it must continue that persistent agitation of every phase of the subject by which slope Its importance can be brought home to everyone.

A representative of a Mulno cream ery has been testing the skim milk of its patrons, and taking tbe tempera ture of the tank In which the deep cans were placed for cooling nnd raising the cream. Very much to his surprise, says tbe Maine Farmer, he found that many of them kept their milk too cold, He found the skim milk most free from butter fat when the temperature was nearest to 43 degrees. At 30 degrees there was from one to two-tenths of one per eent. more of butter fat in the skim milk than when it waa kept at 43 degrees or near that point. Bxpeaslve Bert af Economy.

The land where He rules, the church with which He abides, the soul which He fills, "shall be glorious," with the glory of God's character, His love and righteousness. Here wilt be the cen ter of rest and blessedness. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. This prophecy Is marvelous in itself, and In showing bow these better time can come to the earth. The Bible golden age is before us and not behind us. God's book of Nature agrees with nis book of Revelation in this glorious hope. Only with Jesus as king can these good tjmes come. Every convert to Christianity Is another step toward I'tem. 1 "'V Hit!1"!tMvi lnceittnt 'corutt K -I ; : .r f-v'..". v-"r;' ry-v
