(OrlRlnal.)
It li not unumiul for either a ninu or
woman to come between au engaged
couple, but It Is unusual for the courae
Of true love to be turned awry by a
hone. The story begin back in the
day when the Indiana In the went
were couatnntly breaking away from
their reservation and slaughtering all
palefaces who came In their way. It
waa then thiit Florence Brook was
visiting an older Klater at Fort It., the
Wife of an olllcer In the United Suites
army. And then It was that, the gar
rison having marched away, leuvlng
the women and children to the protec
tion of hnlf a company under the com
mand of a lieutenant, another tribe
consisting of several hundred warriors
came down to take possession of the
fort
When a friendly redskin rode Into
the Inclosure and announced the com
ing of his fellows, every man being
needed for defense, Florence Hronk
volunteered to ride to the nearest t;ost,
fifty miles distant, for succor. Men
tenant Howard Whiting, In command,
placed her on his own Kentucky bred
horse, Comanche, and sent her flying
out of the fort, shouting after her,
"Their lives depend upon you!" How
the horse enabled her to cross the
path of the coming Indians an hour
before they reached the point of Inter
section, how ten miles farther on she
met a squadron of cavalry, how when
the Indians reached the fort they
found a force ample to protect It, need
only be referred to here. From that
day Comanche was beloved by the
whole garrison, and especially by Miss
Brooks. As for Miss Itrooks, she was
beloved by the whole garrison, especial
ly Lieutenant Whiting.
And now the view of alkali plains
mirrounrttng Fort tt. has changed to
aeant lots on the outskirts of a city.
Miss Brooks rides In a trolley car In
stead of on horslack, and Meutennnt
Whiting spends the greater part of the
Jay In a recruiting office In one of the
inglest streets of the city. But early
to the afternoon he leaves his sergeant
lh charge and, mounted on Comanche,
rides past Miss Brooks' abode. Bhe Is
watching for him from an upper win
dow. He raises his hat, and from he
kind the curtain she throws him a kiss.
But for one thing the lover would be
upremely happy. He Is Jealous of
Comanche.
"Why," he asked on Joining his
fiancee after one of his rides, "do you
always feast your eyes on my horse
nd pay no attention to me? This aft
ernoon when I rode by you didn't even
tee when I raised my hat You waved
your hand long after I had done so."
"I love Comanche," she replied.
Miss Brooks left the city for a mouth,
and when she returned her lover In
formed her that he had sold Comanche.
The reason he gave for doing so was
that he had been ordered to rejoin his
regiment In the west aud, Comanchn
having become old, besides gone lame,
the lieutenant would not feel warrant
ed In transporting him so far, especial
ly as he would need a serviceable ani
mal. Miss Brooks looked astonished
when the news was Imparted to her
and argued long and well agnlust the
necessity for the sale. But Whiting
had nothing but his pay, which was
not Bhfflelent to keep so expensive a
pet, and she was obliged to admit,
which she did reluctantly, thot he
could hardly have done otherwise.
They parted with au embrace, warm
enough on the part of the man, but not
the girl.
However, It gradually came over
Miss Brooks planning as she was for
the coming wedding that Comnnche
could not have been Included In the
calculations. Indeed, It was very dif
ficult for her to figure out the problem
of living on Whiting's pay, even with
out what Comanche would have coat
,he had an Income of $800, which she
must relinquish upon her marriage.
This left only a second lieutenant's
pay, with commutation for fuel and
quarters, on which the couple must
live. After all. Whiting was right.
There is no doubt that all would have
gone well had It not been for a certain
Inopportune meeting. One morning
while M1ss Brooks was out buying her
trousseau she saw a man driving a cart
with an enormous load - on It The
horse was unable to get It up an In
cline, and the driver was belaboring
him unmercifully. Miss Brooks, natu
rally fond of horses, approached to pro-
, test. The horse turned hit head, look
ed at her out of a pair of melancholy
eyes and whinnied. He was Comanche.
Miss Brooks embraced him and wept.
. The next mall carried to Lieutenant
.Whiting a breaking of the engagement
from Miss Brooks. No satisfactory
reason was given. The real reason was
that she loved Comanche better than
' Whiting. On her Income, which, If not
married, she would retain till death,
the could live aud take care of Co
manche. She bought hfm for $50 and
kept him In royal equine style.
Comanche lived five years after be
ing rescued from the melancholy posi
tion Into which bis master had sold
him. Then Miss Brooks, after a de
cent period of widowhood, began to
think of her lover of other days. He,
hearing that his rival was dead, sought
her. They were married and went to
live at the post where he was stationed.
"Whiting," said his color.el banter
Ingly one day, "I hear your wife kept
. you waiting five years while she lavish
ed her affections on a horse. I didn't
know I had an officer under my com
mand with so little capacity for pleas
ing the fair Hex."
"Colonel," replied Whiting, "I would
. much rather have been kept waiting
for the woman I love by a horse than
by some men I have known."

Lawftrt and Oar Public Life.
Without stopping for statistics, which
have been to often collated. It It
enough to sny that In the public lift of
this country the lawyer has been the
conspicuous factor. The Judiciary, of
course, Is altogether composed of mem
bers of the profession. In executive
offices and legislative halls tfie law has
predominated and still predominates
over every business and nil other pro
fessions. Vet the public life of this
country has been of the highest char
acter. Acting for the public as the
lawyers have done In these various
fields of official labor, they have
proved true to their employment, and
It may safely be said that the scan
dals which have sometimes been found
In official life have seldom attached to
them. How can this he accounted for
except upon the theory of a general
personal Integrity? Itls.no sufficient
explanation to say that although Uie
great mass of the profession Is cor
rupt, there are a few who are reliable,
and they are the ones whom the public
elect for official life. The truth Is
their very prominence In public life,
their fidelity to the trusts therein Im
posed, Is evidence which cannot be Ig
nored that the profession has and
maintains u character for honesty aud
uprightness which attracts general
eonlldence. I). J. Brewer In Atlantic.

Riper Whip Crackers.
"The French," said the sailor, "have
whip cracker competitions. A French
cabby or trucker Is as proud of his
whip crnckln' ability as a young man Is
of his drtnkln' powers. There nln't
no driver llvln' what can crack a whip
like a Frenchman. Walklu' ulong the

you mad. It scares you. It's as If a

petitions It ain't only the loud cracks
that count They have artists there

Since steam has largely tuken the
plnce of sntl on the ocean I doubt tf
the sailor's yarn Is what It was fifty
years ago, when the Black Ball line of
clipper ships sped between the Occident
and the orient. In my younger days
I was but a lad I sailed before tho
mast In the Drendnnught Among our
crew was Beth Hawkins, an old salt
of forty. We considered him a Methu
selah, a tall, thin man with a profusion
of llttlo red cnrls. He wos very reli
gious, observing all the commandments
scrupulously except the ninth, "Thou
shalt not bear false witness," and In
this lie sinned only In spinning yarns,
which he always vowed were real hap
penings. One starlight night ou the
forecastle while we were lounging
about the capstan he gave us the fol
lowing: "You've all heard a lot about Judas
Iscarlot, who was cursed with bavin'
to live forever and wanderlu' nil over
the world, at one time belli seen In
Egypt, another In France, and so on,
always leavln' a trail of misfortune In
his wake. But I don't believe any of
you hat ever hearn about his sallln' the
sens. There's no sense In this, for how
could he have got to America, where
he's turned up often, unless he crossed
an ocean? Leastaways I've seen him
myself, and on tho water too.
"I first shipped on the Mark Matthews
on a-voyage around the Horn to take In
hides on the west coast of South Amer
ica. We was layln' In the doldrums
one evenln' Just before four bells. A
thick fog wns all about us, and we
couldn't see a cable's length. All of a
suddent I heered a bell. It struck, four
times. As soon as it stopped our bell
struck too. Then the fog thinned a lit
tle, and Just about half the ship's
length from us was the oddest lookln'
craft I ever dapped eyes on. Bhe was
awful high In the poop, low In the
waist and had a head on ber bow like
that of a sea sarpent She had two
masts like a schooner, and the sails
was bung on 'era like they put 'em on
Chinese Junks. Of course they hung
limp like ourn.
"She was head-on, and the fog didn't
let us see abaft the fo'mast On the
forecastle stood the figur' of an old man.
I couldn't tell you how old he looked,
but there was semethln' about hint
that reminded me of a people long
passed away. He was a Jew and the
Jewlest lookln' Jew I ever see. He
was wrapped In a cloak that looked
like a monk's frock. The melancholy
way he stared out o' them blinkers o'
hls'n was enough to send a cur yelpln'
to his kennel. They was like the eyes
of a sick man as hadn't slept durln' a
thousand year voyage. There wasn't
a bit o' color lu his cheeks unless you
call the leathery look o' the hides we've
got below color, and It seemed ns If I
could see right through his ghastly lips
to the few teeth that wns left In his
jaws. He hadn't any tint on, and I
wasn't near enough to see Just what
his hair was like, except that he bad
mighty little. But some thin' wns
n-movln' on his skull that looked like
worms. Whether It was worms or
hair I couldn't see, but It must 'a' ltcen
worms, for there wasn't the ghost of a
breeze to. move even the finest hairs,
lie stood there lookln' at us without
ny Interest In them melancholy eyes
' hls'n, and the only motion he made
: ns with his skinny hands, pour In'
ome sliver coins from one hnud to
t'other. Every oncet In awhile he'd
mnke as If to throw the silver away,
Nit he couldn't, and every time he tried
.nd failed his face would tako ou an
repression of awful remorse.
"While I was lookln' at hlra the two
ililps was so slowly drlftln' apart that
nobody could see 'om move. The other
raft wns gettln In our stern. The
l!w'n blinkers was uiovln' about never
i'estin' ou any tiling tor more'n half a
o("tnd till suddenly they struck our
"twn. Then there wns the worst fright
come Into 'era I ever see on any man's
face, not even a mutineer I onco saw
Ming when he caught sight o the noose
ilnnglln' from the ynrdarm.
"What did he sec? Didn't I tell you
o.ir ship wns the Mark Matthews? The
'".v.:t o' conrse, was on the stern,
ivw.ie o the letters wns faded, and the
' i' In Matthews was pretty nigh gone.
What the Jew saw was the names o'
two o' the apostles, Mark and Mat
'hew. "Then for the first time it struck me
v!io he wns. Ho was the wauderln'
Jew. As soon as he saw the names o'
them two old friends, o' hls'n he was
throwed on his beam ends. You see,
he was one o' the twelve in good add
regular standln' till be betrayed his
master for them thirty pieces o' silver.
To be brought face to face with two
of the disciples after a couple o' thou
sand years' wanderln' must 'a' brought
back onpleasant remembrances.
"By this time I felt so bad for tho
poor old sinner that I wanted to give
hlra somethln' to warm him up. I ran
below, got some grog In a can and ran
bnck, expectln' to swing It over to the
Jew nt the end of a rope. But when I
got on deck tho strange lookln' craft
hnd disappeared In the fog.
"But where she'd drifted to was u
pnr.zler, for within ten minutes the
fog lifted, we could sweep the horizon,
nnd there wasn't n sail to be seen.
"Within an hour It come on to blow
out o' the sow'wesr. That was the gnlo
when I wns wrecked, the Mark Mat
thews goln' to the bottom nnd the crew
bsln' picked up hn)f dead by a whnler."

RHEUMATISM IS CURABLE
IF URIC-O IS USED

Is It tho unhealthy foods we eat or
tho rapid puce in which we live that
cause such an endless amount of Rheu
matism nowadays? The distase has cer
tainly reached an alarming point, as
nine-tenths of the adult population In
this country are more or less afflicted
with some form of this maddening dis
ease. Recent investigation has proven
the fact that Rheumatism Is a blood
disease, therefore, many bright chem
ists and physicians have hud good
ground to work upon, and they nave
succeeded In compounding a remedy,
which, if used as advsed, cannot fail to
drive and eliminate from the blood and
muscles all traces of man's greatest
evil. Poison Rheumatic Acid. URIC-O
Is the name of this remedy. It is a
liquid treatment, made and designed to
cure all forms of Rheumatism and good
for no other disease. There is no poi
son, no alcohol or whiskey entered into
the composition of URIC-O. It is sim
ply a powerful dissolvent of Urio Acid
and other deposits which seriously
affect the kidneys.

about in the way of meats?
Oysters? Weil, that's all
right, ' provided they are
Sealfehipt, but I should not
advise you to risk any other
kind. But the Sealshipt
oysters are protected from
contamination. They are
packed at the beds in a seal
ed enamel caso, witii the Ice
outside. Thiit keeps them
free from dirt and germs.
The ice we use is not always
above suspicion, and I should
not risk letting it touch any
food.
"It's better to be sure than
sorry," and with Sealshipt
oysters yon may be sure that
you are getting absolutely
pure food. They are easily
digested, so let the children
have them as they like.
Hut, remember, nothing
but Sealshipt you mustn't
take chances witli children's
stomachs.
