Y. Sun. "One night, when Cripple Creek was new and raw, Biff Randall and Aloo Crubb, who were partners in a claim that waa panning out big, drifted into Scnk Murphy's canvas honkatonk and blew the iouse. Biff and Alee had been off the reservation for four days. Both were pretty bad men. "Well, on this night Biff ami Alec, being tired nnd precarintis-like on their pins, and neither of 'em having hod any sleep for four dnys nnd nights, were peevish with each other, and the boys noticed that they were pretty snappy In the way they talked to each, other. Consequently the boys Itept a sort o focus on the en trances to the tent, so's to be able to execute proper getaways at the need ful moment, in case there was nnv- thing doing between Alec and Bilf. "After they'd both wetted down nil hands three or four times Hi IT and Alec were naturally finite some more to the bad than before they'd cottie in, and they continued to have fmu-y little cracks at each other for some reason or other. ; Finally Biff caught sight of a dusty old violin box rest ing on a shelf behind the bar. The fiddle and case had been left with Soak Murphj by a rover who wanted the price vi,i.,?!de back to Denver. 'bonk,' (una Mil to Murphy, who was taking the watch himself behind the bar, 'lemme have a peep at that music box. Maybe I'll play you a chune. I used to be a heap on the fiddle when I was young and purty.' "'Well, I never knowed that,' put In Alec, kind o' leering and ugly. I knowed that you was a whole lot strong on elbow work, but not with the bow. If I can't play a faster chune on that thing than you can I'll band you over my half of our hole in the ground.' "Biff, in the act of taking the fiddle out of the box, looked up at Alec from under his shnggy eyebrows. " 'You're on, you juniper, he said, pretty quiet like considering Alec's sneering way. 'You're on f'r keeps, and you got to slay with that crack or git what's coinln' to a welcher.' "Aleo grinned satirically and con fidently, and Biff began to tuno up the violin. We thought he'd only been four-flushing when he'd said that he could play some on the thing, but we saw by the way he tuned it up that he knew something about it. "Be put some rosin on the bow, sat down ao'a to be more steady, stuck the fiddle under his chin and began to saw 'The Irish Washerwoman.' It didn't aound so bad at that. "Meantime we kept the off eye on Alec. We figured that Alec was out on a limb. Now, considering tho merit of BlfTg performance, we were a-plenty surprised to note that Alca oiun t appear to be even a little bit worried about that defl he'd piiBhed over. "We couldn't see that it looked reasonable to suppose that Alee could hand up a faster tune than Biff had executed, and that's why we were as tonished to observe that there was no sign whatever of caving on Alec's part. "'Now, you catfish.' said Biff in Alec, handing over the fiddle and the bow, 'you make good that chaw o' yours about fust chunea. I'll leave it to the bunch. If you've trot me con. pered, the whole claim's yours. If you hain't got tho goods, I'm going to mark a dead line Jest 1,000 yards from that hole in the foothill nnri you're goln' to stay outside of it.' - " " una dow witn his confident grin still on his face. He laid the instrument and bow down long enough to cut himself off a 1ur chew from a plug. After carefully stowing the chew in the left-har.d corner of his countenance, he picked np the fiddle and bow again, tried the strings like a man who knew just where he stood, and then began on The Devil'. Dream.' . - "Well, it didn't taker any of ua half a minute to see that Aleo had the merchandise and that he . had Biff beat. Alec was right there with 'The Devll'a Drtam, and, there : are not many faster fiddle tunea than that. "Alao rocked around ia hit teat quite ni kdui ne piayeci, out he didn't make any breaks in his fl eye ring or Iowa a mountain aide. Well, -whem we saw the way the sitnatioct stood, we began to sort o' edge sidewise to ward the tent flap. "We hadn't been asked to be made jmpirea and none of us frit exactly ike pushing to the front and handing iown any decision aa to the respective rirtuoso abilities of Biff and Alec. We w that Biffs eyes were blazing and that his nigh hand wna sort o twid dling nervously in the direction of his gun. And so our tide just nat urally set toward the tent flap. "Alec set the fiddle and bow down after he'd got through and grinned quixzlcally and powerful irritatingly at Biff. Biff had a .chagrined, evil look on Ma map that ought tove eauaed Alec to be careful, but Alee waa flushed with triumph and hia four days' souse, and he kept right on grinning in Biff's teeth. "'Ombrey,' said Biff, straightening himself up and glaring hard at his partner, 'lemme tell you soraethin. You're a ringer. You're a "Now, it was at this very instant, when the hands of both men were traveling toward their guns, that I noticed a squat, heavy-set man, clad in dark clothes, and with a flat topped derby pushed back from a very bald head, standing In the en trance of the tent. I knew him right away had seen him in Denver the week before. "We of the bunch were just about to execute our timely hike when Biff and Alee were on the point of mak ing their gun play, when the little man, who appeared to be quite aware of what was in progress, walked jerk ily up to where they stood confront ing each other, and almost on the pinpoint of plugging each other, and he said, addressing them both, and looking Biuilingly from one to the other: " 'I heard some Maying nod? yes?' "Biff Bnd Alec both turned and gazed with open mouths nt the queer- looKing little man with the bald head. Neither of them said a word, but they just stared at him. " 'Oh, here is ze veeolcen,' said the squat man, picking up the instru ment from tla bar and scrutinizing it. Then he pirked up the bow. Biff and Alec continued to stare at him. 'Veil, I blay for you.' said the lit- tlo man, and he snuggled the violin up under his chin Ijke as If It was a pet kitten, and he gave n flourish with the bow, and then ho brought It down for a crashing chord on all four strings at once nnd then Biffs nnd Alec's guns went buck into their belts nnd they forgot about everything else except the sounds that were com- ng out of that catinit and. know ing that the making of war medicine was over for the time being, we all gathered around the squat man. Did any of you ever hear Eilounrd Remenyl, the Ilunirarian virliuist. put yr tieefcuse fiiatv vho the aquat man was Remenyi. He had run down from Denver to Cripple Creek to see what a new American mining camp waa like, and prowling around, and hearing Alec's scraping of 'The Devil's Dream,' he had just dropped Into the honkatonk on an impulse, without any Idea of what was going on. "Well, Remenyl 'blnyed' nil right fie just nursed that old thing undci his fat neck like a boy eu Idles a guinea pig with a broken leg, and he hadn't been playing more thnn two minutes before every man In the gang looked as if he had a sneaking sort of feeling that ho hadn't done right with his life. "Biff and Alec sidled over to the bar and lenned their backs against it, side by side, nnd every time that Hungarian squat man pulled out a tremolo that was particularly meaty and reproachful and full o meaning, they'd exchange kind o' entranced smiles with cueh other and shake their heads stuily at each other. "I don't know what it was that squat foreign man played. I never will know. But I know that what he played mode mo feel like I'd been neg lecting the folks back home, nnd when l reached my shack I sat down and wrote 'cm letters until daylight. "When after ten minutes of straight playing, ho wound up with a lot of low things 'way down on the (Lstrlng that sounded like a brook gurgling to Itself in tho night, and when he took the violin from under his chin with a sort of dreamy smile on his pudgy face, there was on amount of coughing from those fellows standing around such as I never heard outside of a hotel for 'lungers.' . And none of the bunch seemed to want to look at each other except, Biff and Alec. "They looked at each other silently and sheepishly for about two min utes after Remenyi put down the vio lin and mopped bis forehead with a big white silk handkerchief. Then Biff walked up to the stocky virtuoso, cleared his throat, and said in a tone that waa pretty hoarse: "Todner, I don't know who you all are, nor where you stampedes from, nor anything about you 'cepting what I just heerd. But I know who I am and what I've got. All I srot's half a hole In the rock, wfth some pay dirt in sight, and that's yourn. And, next to that hole in the ground, I got a ahack filled up with the riff-raff be longing that I've been gittin' to gether f r yeara. Well, that shaek'a yourn, too, and here's the key to the padlock. Take It Touch a match to the whole fitout and burn it down if you want to but it's yourn. That's all. "The amazed Remenyl stood gaslng at Biff with hia little beady brown j eyea twinkling wonderingly, but be fore he had time to say anything In reply, Aleo stepped forward, fronting him, cleared hia throat aa Biff had one, and aald: - 'Which it affords me pleasure to through tenia yoa all. Ton wia eirl the claim aad evexythln en it. ya tad BUT dont feel Ilka we got bo right to stay In bo camp where there's a ombrey that eaa do things on a fiddle like you can do, and so, such beln the ease, me and Biff, we just cashes In, aad. glad to do it, and vamoose, that'a alL "They meant absolutely every word of It, too. But Besaenyt took sudden alarm over the poewliar aetloaa aad worda of the two rough-roekiag men. He dldat understand tho language very well, and he didn't know what they were trying to force on him, out of enthusiasm and booserlno ecatacy, a claim that haa since panned out big, as a tribute to his genius. - "With a murmered word or two he took to his short legs aad scam pered out of the tent, while Biff and Alec gazed after him disappointedly. Still under the daze of that great muslo they both speechlessly beck oned all hands to the front, blew the outfit twice around, and then, linking arma, they hiked to their ahack, so bered up and went to work. "They'd both have been dead men if Remenyl, of Uuhgaria, hadn't popped into that canvas honkatonk at the moment he did." A Pretty Royal Castom. A pretty custom dating from the wedding of the late Queen Victoria haa ever since pertained to the royal family. A sprig of myrtle which formed a part of the brlde'a wreath was carefully cultured, and In due time planted out. When the princess royal was married sprigs were cut for her bridal wreath from this myr tle tree. The princess, following her mother's example, had one of the sprigs cared for till it beoame a full sized tree, which served for her daughter-in-law's wreath at the wed ding of the present emperor of Ger many. The custom was observed in the marriage of the Prince of Wales and all other of Queen Victoria's chil dren and grandchildren. There is al ready, as the result ef this charming custom, the making of a grove of myrtle trees. Other royal customs at tached to the marriage of the royal family relate to the bouquet and the wedding cake. Ever since the mar riage of Queen Victoria a firm of Windsor florists have had the honor of presenting the one, a Chester con fectioner finding the other, neither accepting payment. From the Scots man. - .The Prlaceas and the Telephone. Telephones can be very treacherous instruments at times. One evening the prince of Wales, the king, was at a public dkiner at which he was to speak. During the meal he told an equerry to send for a book, to which he wished to refer for a fact, from Marlborough bouse. The equerry "YC-lbe ece'yr';.frMrtira. tud the hotel manager rang the royal res idence up on the telephone. After he had made himself understood , there was a pause of many minutes. He rang again, then again, until at last losing all patience he litlerally shout ed: "Are you there? What the do you mean by keeping his royal highness waiting? Can you find the book or not?" To his angry expos tulations camo the quiet answer: "We are very sorry to keep you wait ing; we are doing our best to find the book, which shall be Bent on at once, ricnse toll my father this be cause he Is so particular." It was the first, and doubtless ho hopes it will bo the last time, that the mnnager had ever rated a princess through the telephone Muinly About I'cople, London. Military OrtlioKrophy. X British soldier, who is at this moment serving In South Africa, re cently sent a letter to the war oflloe ctntaining a word that baffled the Imagination of every clerk and ofllcinl to whom the puzzle was submitted. Tho mysterious word was spelled "yfe." It was repeated several times, ond seemed, indeed, to be the main subject of his communication. At length it occurred to one of tho clerks to consult the hall porter, a grizzled veteran quite unhampered by board school accomplishments. "Can you tell us the meaning of this vord, Simpson?" asked the bril liant clerk. "I should think I could," replied tho teterun, with mild contempt.

London King. d of To Bo (Sura N nsf ipof ion People who suffer from habitual constipation with all its attendant il's, clogged stomach and bowels, sluggish liver, heartburn, indigestion, and thm and impure Mood, are too apt to believe that the only remedy is violent purgatives. The contrary is the case. Such cathartics, even if they do move the bowels, are irritating and griping, leave the stomach inflamed and enfeebled and the constipated condition recurs with greater difficulty of cure and the sufferer constantly growing worse. There is a laxative that moves the bowels without pain or griping, cleanses tho stomach, sharpens tho appctito, stimulates tho liver, strengthens the nerves, ami purifies the blood, wliilo ita marvellous tonic properties tone up the entire system and keep it healthy. bxokola Dogs It Its rcmarkablo tonic properties reaeh every organ the liver, kidneys and stomach, nerve, heart ami brain nnd removes the i nnse of vonr ii 1 . ii itatcd condition.
