One thing ted to another, and : we waa thicker and thicker with every relay. Lucky for me nobody got In. though there wara't much danger jt that, for there wasn't a settlement between Cheyenne and Denver.

At the time the foreign legutioue were shot up In Peking ami th united armlea of tb power weu't tlir to free tbu, with th American army waa a soldier by rUr-usm of Hlgglna H bad become atagealruck when quit young and had Joined the sumts lu a theater. II had never rlxru as an ac tor, but had been put In churn of th properties. From tb theater b had gone forth as an assistant to a prestl digits tor and become siilth'leutly ex pert to take bis principal's place In rase of necessity. The prestidigitator died, and Hlgglna wss stranded. . Then he enlisted In the army. Wben the allied force were working their way up to the walls of Peking an American general wished for a secret service man to go forward and recon noiler. It wss desirable to know what abstractions were In th way. where wvre.the entrances, etc. No ons could be found to undertake tb work till It was mentioned to Hlgglns, who ssld that If be could get certain articles from the ordnance department and cer tain materials from other sources b would undertake to bring the Informa tion. , He succeeded In gaining what he wanted and. dressing himself In a fantastic costume. tarted forth on foot for the city. Walking along a road with bo other weapon than a light cane, he met a party of Chinese Boxers. , Since Hlg gina waa coming from the direction of their enemle the Chinamen were dis posed to chop him np at once, bat they couldn't understand his queer costume. There la not a more super stitious rare In the world tbaa the Chinese, un less It Is certain low grade Mohammedans. Aa the Boxer ap proached Hlgglna, seeing hint come tight along without fear, their courage began to oose out at their finger ends. Tbey stopped and waited for him to come up. Hlgglna tossed a little sphere aa big aa a marble among them, which exploded, and. though It did no harm. It scattered them. Tbey turn ed and saw the stranger msrrhlng on silently 41ke a specter. He raised bla bat and every hair on bla head stood straight up. That took what courage there wss In them, and he saw tbem aomore. The next lot of Boxers be met were bolder. Tbey blocked the road and cried oat something In Chinese which nigglns didn't understand. Hlgglna stopped. One of the Chinamen advanc ed, while the others slunk bsrk. When be got within a few yards of the strange apparition It drew an Imagi nary circle of Or about It with the end of Ita cane. The advancing man retreated on bla supports. One of the Boxers bow brought a guo to bla shoulder and fired at Hlgglna. It waa a close call for the soldier, for the bullet whistled within aa Inch of bla ear... Had not the Boxer who fired been affected by superstition be would probably have killed hla man. - Hlgglna didn't lose bla presence of mind, but turned the Incident to bis advantage. He stood with bis lips parted and drawn so that bis enemies could aee the ball tbey bad fired held between hi feetb. Then, taking It In bl band, he threw It among tbem. nd be thrown a band grenade be couldn't have scattered them more effectually. nigglna waa now getting near tb walla of tb city and began to a his ye. He also mad note and draw Inge. He had a pocket glass .with him and found It valuable. While be waa gazing a party of Chinese horsemen swept down on blm. Though pussled at hla appearance, tbey kept on. Hlg glna faced tbem and. opening hla month, began to pall linked sausages from his mouth by the yard. This topped them, but wben tbe apparition drew back a few yards and the China men's hunger hsd conquered their fears so far as to enable them to go fprward to devour tbe precious meat the sausages exploded In tbelr faces. Turning towsrd Hlgglns. tbey saw him demoniacally spitting fire at them. This was too much for tbelr equsnlm .y. and they ran. nigglna now advanced aa near aa he la red to tbe walls of the city, made ome valuable observstlons snd then Timed hla face toward ca mpTOn bis ft-ay back tbe roed waa lined here and 'here at a distance by Chinamen who tad witnessed tbe horrible magic and, bough curious, did not dare come very Sear. By" tbe time he was nesting the aid of bis Journey quite a crowd was tllowlng him. When they came too tear be would draw a circle of flame with bis cane or spit Ore at them. Then tbe specter, or whatever It was, appeared to grow at least Its Vga did until at every step It gained I couple of yards. It continued to bresthe out fire, and aa the darkness csme on Its bat seemed to be contln nally burning without being consumed. And so marched the Illuminated giant, the country round about filled with Jabbering, wondering, tremb'lng China men, nntil finally all Ita lights went lut and it was seen no more. Hltrrlns appeared on tbe. American picket line, bnt as he was expected be passed In without the counte-lKn. He gave the result of his observstlons to his general and waa duly thanked therefor. On tb retnrn of the troops to America h waa made ao ndlccr for "gallant, and meritorious-conduct," which IndlcatfV that tola army phrase Is very elastic and admits of many dif ferent Interpretations. , - w J Put Yourself h the J J Ad-Readers' Placed t When you write your classified ad or any kind of an ad try to Include In It lust the Information you'd like to find If you were an ad-reader and war looking foi an ad of that Una.
