When sighs the whispering linden
To Bummer's lightest breeze.
Where tuneful birds make mnsio
Unseen 'mid shady trees
Bow sweet awhile to linger
Beside some babbling stream,
And lulled by its soft murmur
To fall asleep and dream 1
What strange fantastic pictures
Pass mirrored o'er the brain
As youth forgets its troubles
And age grows young again!
The past, no more remembered.
Hakes way for what shall be.
And scenea of future gladness
Are all the dreamers see.
Ah, would these idle fancies
Might sometimes prove them true
Nor fade away to nothing
And vanish from the view I
Fond thought 1 But cease repining.
Perchance 'tis happier thus
To leave unsolved life's riddle
Nor ask what waits for us.

A DEAD SHOT.
They called him Tex in lieu of any
reliable information as to his proper
patronymic, and he bobbed up in that
miscellaneous assortment of humanity
that flocked to Lead vi lie in the first
flush of the silver excitement Tex was
an Apollo of the plains, a mere boy,
with long yellow curls, blue eyes and a
woman's complexion and with a frame
that towered six feet in his stockings.
He had been a member of an immigrant
train in his tenderer years, which the
Indians had attacked and wiped oat of
existence. Tex had been adopted by the
tribe and had spent some years in this
savage society, until General McHenry,
commanding regular troops, one day
swooped down on the camp and seized
Tex and restored him to civilization.
And then Tex became a cowboy. That
was his history down to the time that
he went to Leadville and became a fa
miliar figure about the gambling houses.
Everybody, with the possible excep
tion of the parson and a few women and
children in camp, in those days wooed
the fickle goddess of fortune in roulette
or at faro, poker and even keno, and
Tex's occupation as a professional gam
bler did not lower his social standing
by one degree. -As a matter of fact, Tex
was a great favorite. He was a big,
kind hearted boy, with a quiet manner
and good natured smile, but, withal, a
man a man, too, capable of being
aroused at times and in that condition
one of the most dangerous men in the
day Tex sat down in The Gold
Boom, a popular resort on Chestnut
street, to a little game of poker. The
stakes were high, and Tex was steadily
losing. When he discovered that his
partner was playing with a double deck
Tex put his hand on the jack pot and
called the other a cur. That party
whipped out a six shooter, but lay dead
in his tracks with a bullet hole through
his heart before he could bring his pis
tol to a level. Tex was such an expert
with his gun 1
Bret Harte relates that the gamblers
in Turtle's grocery calmly continued
their game the day that French Pete
and Kanaka Joe shot each other to death
over the bar in the front room. The
game in The Gold Room on this occasion
must have been less absorbing in inter
est, for the crowd made a rush for Tex,
who calmly turned around at the door
and quietly advised his pursuers to re
sume their peaceful occupations at the
table if they did not want to fill a com
mon grave over on the other side of
Capitol hilL And very wisely the crowd
acted on Tex's advice. And so the mat
ter apparently blew over without any
serious annoyance to the young man,
who continued to walk the streets in his
leisurely way, obviously none the worse
in conscience for having assisted in the
premature taking off of a dishonest
gambler. How many men Tex in his
short but eventful career had killed no
body knew, but his bearing on this oc
casion indicated that he was no novice.
Be was greeted respectfully by passers,
and he smiled as benevolently and kind
ly upon those he cared to notice as
though the process of shooting a man
through the heart was an accepted act
of ethical propriety.
And nothing more would have come
of it if people had not begun to twit
Town Marshal O'Connor on his failure
to do his duty. The marshal, had no
hankering after Tex's society, no vault
ing ambition to arrest him. Tex had
been somewhat informal in his admin
istration of justice. He might have
waited for his opponent to shoot first,
and then allowed the regularly elected
justice of the peace to try the case aft
erward, but Tex, in his youthful inex
perience and very vague acquaintance
with the proprieties of civilization, had
not stopped to think of that A cold
deck and a suggestive movement toward
the seat of war on the part of an adver
sary had always been his signal for
prompt action, and his triggerless six
shooter had on such occasions always
been the arbiter of justice, from which
no appeal lay. The merciless twitting
to which O Connor was subjected had
made it necessary for him to do some
thing to maintain the dignity of the
law.
When Tex that evening walked into
The Gold Boom, O Connor was there.
They saw each other at a glance. O'Con
nor leisurely walked toward Tex, and
the boy fastened his keen eyes upon
him as though he would read his
thoughts.
"Tex," said the marshal, "you've
killed Skinner, and you know what I've
got to do with yon. "
"Arrest me?" said Tex quietly. The
conversation was conducted in subdued
tones. "Don't try it," continued Tex.
"I like you, and I haven't got a thing
against you. I don't want to kill you,
O'Connor. Now you go about your busi
ness and leave me alone. When the
grand jury meets you'll find me right
here in The Gold Room, and I'll go
with you and stand trial, but I won't
be arrested."
"But, Tex," said the marshal, "I've
got to do my duty."
"And I've got to do mine, " said Tex.
Powder
"I done it this morning when I drilled
a hole through Skinny, and I'll do it
whenever a man puts a hand on me. I
ain't spoiling for a fight, specially with
you, O'Connor, and if you see your
duty make sure that it is to let me
alone. Now go away and don t trouble
yourself any more about me.
Tex turned to go away, but in turn
ing he saw the marshal draw his pistol.
There was a quick, sharp report, a puff
of smoke, and O Connor lay writhing
on the floor vx his blood.
Again the large gambling room was
in a state of commotion. Tables were
upturned, and loud voices could be dis
tinguished above the din, shouting:
"Kill him !" "Shoot him !" There was
a general rush in the direction where
Tex had stood, but the boy had disap
peared. Then it was that .Leadville expe
rienced a moral revulsion. When men
could no longer sit down to a beguiling
game of stud poker or watch the cards
as they were silently slipped from the
case by the nimble fingers of the faro
dealer without being disturbed by the
crack of pistols and the accompanying
acts of violence and bloodshed it was
time to make a few examples and read
just the moral standard of the commu
nity. .
How much greater was the necessity
when, as on this occasion, men mado
free with the executive hand of justice
in the person of the marshal, whose
only offense had been that of trying to
cage a flagrant violator of the peace and
maintain the dignity of the law, even
what little there was of it. But Tex
could nowhere be found.
Sheriff Tucker began to take the case
in hand. He and his deputies scoured
the town from one end to the other.
They visited all of Tex's resorts and
calling places, but none had seen him
after the shooting. At last Tucker heard
that he had left town on horseback. He
was probably far over the divide by this
time, but Tucker was not the sort of
man to be easily discouraged. He and a
deputy, whose aim was as accurate as
his own, and whose courage was some
thing to be banked on in all emergen
cies, started in pursuit They had bet
ter horses than the animal Tex was rid
ing, and they were soon on the boy's
trail.
Then began one of the hottest pursuits
that was ever known. By daylight they
were in sight of the fugitive, catching a
faroff glimpse of him as he waved his
sombrero at them just as he slipped over
the crest of a range of hills. Both par
ties had changed horses several times.
At one place Tex had traded his broken
down broncho for a buggy horse, paying
the difference that the owner asked
without haggling about the price. Then
he had traded the buggy horse for a Ute
pony that would try to run up a hill as
fast as he ran down, and whose spirit
nothing could conquer but death. Once
they were perceptibly gaining on him
and tried a few shots that fell short
Just as they thought they were going
to close in cn him and were putting
their horses to their best Tex waved his
sombrero over his head, standing erect
in the saddle, and gave such an unearth
ly yell that the poor pony was frighten
ed into a convulsive effort that carried
him beyond the range of vision of Tuck
er and his man. Yet on they-pressed,
around the shoulder of a hill, and there
they saw their man at their mercy.
His broncho had broken his neck stum
bling over a bowlder. Tex had been
thrown down, but was too expert a rider
not to find his feet His revolver had
been hurled down a bank and was be
yond reach. His pursuers were upon
him, and the business end of two re
volvers were ominously directed against
his breast
Tex made a bounding leap down the
bank. ' Crack, crack I ' ' spoke two revolv
ers, but the bullets missed. The next
instant Tex had got possession of his re
volver, but the leap had broken his
wrist, and the sheriff and his man had
the drop on him.
"Tex," shouted Tucker, "throw up
your hands ! We've got you. "
"Shoot, dn you, shoot 1"
He tried to level his own gun, but
his wrist was limp, and before he could,
change it to his left hand there was an
almost simultaneous report of two pis
tols, and a pair of bullets had passed
into his heart Tex fell heavily on his
side, and as the sheriff and his deputy
saw that they had done their work well
they watched him.
"Take the pot !" gasped . Tex, and
died. Washington Post

musingly. "To have wealth beyond a
certain point is only to undertake the )
labor of living the lives of ten or a thou
sand men, as well as your own. Yon
may, if yon are wise and good enough,
produce more concentrated and viaiblj
beneficial effects than a promiscuous
crowd would, but in the long run private
mountains of money do more harm than
good. Yon can give away as much at
yon like, only I must keep a million oi
two to buy your bonnets with."
"Where did yon get so much money.
Keppel?" inquired Olympia. "Where
did it come from? It seemed natural thai
the Count de Lisle should have it, but
that you should have it is different; it it
like having it myself V
"It came from the treasure houses oi
European kings, and from the strong
boxes of misers and the breasts of fail
women and the savings of poor peasants,
from robbery and murder and crime and
cruelty of every sort; it has been gradu
ally accumulating for hundreds of years;
it is even said that Charlemagne began
it; certainly Francis I added to it, and
Henry of Navarre and Louis the Great
Napoleon doubled it, I suspect, but nc
one, knows or ever will know certainly
by whom or how it was contributed to.
The singular thing about it is that it
should have been passed along as a secret
heirloom from ruler to ruler of France;
it was always regarded as a private
treasure, though of course it should
have belonged to the nation if treasure
got as this was could be said to belong
to anybody except the original owners.
When the French Revolution occurred
the queen hid the treasure, and when
she was condemned to the guillotine she
told the secret to some one whom she be
lieved she could trust, in order that it
might be available for bringing back
their dynasty to power after the revolu
tion had ended. This confidant must
have betrayed his trust. At any rate
Bonaparte got hold of the treasure not
long after. Louis Philippe never could
get trace of it, and Louis Napoleon, to j
whom the secret was imparted, entered
into possession as the rightful heir after
the coup d'etat. He looked upon it. as
probably all his predecessors had, as a
power in reserve, not to be used except
in case of need. But he knew from ex
perience how uncertain things are in
France, and when he saw a war with
Germany ahead, leading possibly to a
grand upheaval of all Europe, he re
solved to send the treasure for safe keep
ing to America. Then, if France came
out ahead, he could 6end for it back;
but if he were worsted he could him
self come here, and either plot for a re
turn to power or settle down permanent
ly, as circumstances might determine.
And this is where I appear in the Btory."
"Well, I am glad of that," remarked
Olympia. "I was afraid you had for
gotten yourself.''
Keppel related the story of his escape
from the railway wreck and subsequent
adventures, to all of which Olympia
listened with wide open eye? - and dili
gent ears. He went on to tell her how
he had made the journey to France, and
had there purchased the estate of M. de
Lisle, an aged monarchist, who was the
last of his family, and who had died
within a couple of weeks of the making
of the bargain. Keppel had adopted the
name'-, of his new possessions, and had
gone to Paris and found means to get
presented ' to Napoleon. Circumstances
enabled him to see a great deal of the
emperor; the latter conceived singular
confidence in him, and even, toward the
end, an affection for him. At length,
when all was lost at Sedan, Keppel told
the emperor the story of the treasure'
and offered to restore it to him, and aid
him in his escape to America. Napoleon
bad hesitated for a moment, but then
hook his head. "That treasure." be
said, "has been the curse of France for
near a thousand years. Disaster fol
lowed every French ruler who had to do
with it disaster personal, if not also
public My uncle died in St. Helena; I
am a broken man, dying of an incurable
disease. I will not transmit -t he curse to
my son, who as yet knows nothing of
the secret. Keep the jewels yourself,
and I hope that in your ownership they
may begin to do good instead of harm.
I am glad that I can die with that load
off my heart!"
"Poor old man!" said Olympia sympa
thetically. "And, after all, how unreal
such treasure is! If it had been in houses
or lands or industries, or even in bonds
or gold, it would have been something
real and reasonable; but jewels are only
beautiful; their value is an imagination.
If they were to be thrown into the sea
no one would lose anything. It is wrong
that beauty should have a money value.
Diamonds and pearls should be given for
love, not bought and sold. Perhaps that
is the explanation of the curse!"
"I dare say it is if a curse there be,"
said Keppel.
After a pause she said, "You love me
more than anything, don't yon?"
"More than anything and everything."
"If we find that the money keeps us
apart we will get rid of it, for it will not
be worth keeping on such condition; but
if Ah!"
She broke off with a shudder and a
contraction of the nerves; she caught
Keppers arm in her hands and moved
closer to him.
"What is the matter, love?" he ex
claimed. "What frightened yon?"
"That man Garcia!" she whispered.
"Garcia! He is not here. Besides,
what can he"
"He is near somewhere in the street,
perhaps. I feel him. Ah!" She shud
dered again.
Keppel drew aside the window shade
and looked in the street On the corner,
about thirty yards distant, he recog
nized the figure of Garcia walking up
the street. He must have passed the
house at the moment of Olympia's im
pression. She was now calm again.
"Perhaps it was only a coincidence,"
aid Keppel to himself. But the epi
sode had startled him, and he did not
forget it
CHAPTER XVL
A WEDDING KNELL.
Now that everything had been spoken
between the lovers, there seemed to be
no reason why they should not be made
entirely happy forthwith, and negotia
tions were entered into which resulted
in appointing the first of May at
the wedding day. The announcement
formed the chief topic of polite conversa
tion during Lent Society took the
count's dinner naxtv as a basa and upon
that erected their surmises of what the
wedding would be like. It would be
something worth living to see, that wat
certain. As to the wife, society was so
unfortunate as not to know her. Olym
pia Raven? No. There was no recollec
tion of such a name. She must be some
thing remarkable. There were so man;
lovely girls in New York whom one did
know something about; why couldn't
the count? However, the counl
was rich enough to be eccentric, and the
fashion of marrying unknown girlf
might catch on.
"Come to think of it, though," said
Dr. Venables, "was there not an Olym
pia Raven mixed up in that murder trial
some years ago? Why, yes! Now,
there's a- curious instance. Miss Hess
Hesketh, of the concatenation of ideas.
Thinking of the count, you know,
brought up the idea of his house. His
house suggested poor old Trent, who
built it. Trent suggested the trial, and
the trial the persons concerned in it.
There was the young fellow, Darke, the
murderer, and Same Matchin, and then
I remembered that there was some- one
that Darke was in love with, and do
vou see? Olympia Raven yes, the
same person. Well, now, that is curi
ous again; one of those mysteries coin
cidences, we call them but who knows?
If you recollect, my dear Miss Hees
Hesketh, it came quite as a surprise that
Sallie Matchin should have turned out to
be Mrs. Harry Trent, for it was in evi
dence at the time that Trent was intend
ing to marry this same Olympia Raven.
But today the tables are turned. After
that dinner party I'm sure we all expected
that Sallie was going to marry the
count, insfcftA of which he throws her
over and picks up her old rival, Olym
eia!"
Uia Miss uess-nesKetn laugnea. ino
girl lost nothing by waiting a bit," she
remarked. "If she'd got Trent she'd
have lost the count. But I expect Sallie
will be mad. I don't blame her. I'd
marry the count myself if he asked me!"
Miss Hess-Hesketh was seventy, and had
the reputation of being the ugliest wom
an in New York, but she was far from
being the greatest fool.
Meanwhile the two persons chiefly con
cerned in the approaching ceremony had
no intention of making a grand display
of it To be married was their object,
and they regarded the social obligations
rather as a necessary nuisance than as
an opportunity. Olympia, in short,
would be married in traveling dress.
There would - be accommodation for
everybody at the church, but at the
house, where the wedding breakfast
would be served, not more than fifty
guests were to be invited. The count
had arranged the details of the affair
with Garcia, who, to his many other re
markable qualities, added fine aesthetic
taste and an inexhaustible inventiveness.
The-count had already learned by expe
rience that whatever was left to Garcia
to do was sure to be well and thoroughly
done. So he laid down the general lines
only that were to be followed and per
mitted Garcia to manage the rest.
It was a 'quiet Lent, and no doubt it
was the happiest month of the lovers'
lives. They deserved it for the sorrows
they had passed, and they needed it for
the numerous disasters that lay before
them. They saw each other every day.
Mrs. Bannick fell in love with the count
out of sympathy with Olympia, -and
Tom conceived a romantic tenderness
for Olympia because she was beloved by
hisi friend,, the count. These four, dur
ing the March evenings,, talked over
many things and made many plans for
the future as people still persist m do
ing in this world, notwithstanding the
sinister experience of thousands of years
of history. Mrs. Raven sat at the table
near by reading her interminable news
papers, and once in a while Garcia made
his appearance for a few minutes to re
port progress and to receive instructions.
One day Garcia went into a shop to
make some purchases, and while wait
ing at the counter he was conscious of
some one standing near him. He turned
and beheld Sallie Matchin.
The nneniected encounter startled
him. He had not seen her since he had
heard her swear his liberty away two
years before in court, except on that ono
occasion when she had been placed un
der the spell of his wizardry. He at
tempted to look as if he did not know
her, but she smiled frankly upon him
and held out her hand.
"Don't let us be enemies," she said.
"Yon have good reason to hate me, but
I have a better reason to hate you, for it
was I who inflicted the injury. But-1
have repented, and wish yon to forgive
me. You are in the way of greater pros
perity than I could have given you. Can
not you afford to be generous?"
"I know you better now than I did
then, said Garcia.
"I'm not going to defend myself," she
returned. "Let the worst be true, if
yon will, I am still the same woman
that you knew, except that experience
has made me wiser. The ambitions that
I had then are gone forever. I recognize
my mistakes and my greatest mistake!"
she added in a lower tone, looking him
meaningly in the eyes. "If I had been
true to yon I should not stand, as I do
now, in hourly danger of my liberty and
Bven oftny life."
"It is too late to think of that now,"
said he. "I regret nothing."
"No; why should you? On the con
trary, you may thank, me for having
I acted toward you as I did, for otherwise
. you would now be entangled with me
i a woman whom you never really loved,
. but who had infatuated you. My feel
ing toward you was more genuine than
yours ror me, inougn in my semsnness i
betrayed you. And it is the same now
that it was when I still deserved your
1 preference."
I "Are you trying to lime me again?"
said uarcia. ma race aarKenin . .
"Well, 1 can't blame your suspicions,"
she rejoined, with a half sigh. "I am a
fool to subject myself to them. But I
am sure of one thing no one will ever
know you as I do. You have not told
this new ally of yours who yon really
are. He thinks that yon are the poor
wandering thing that you choose to ap
pear. He does not know the social dig
nity that you might assume if you
would. 1 have been your only confidant,
; and you will never have another. I
have been to you what no one else can
ever be. You cannot deny it, ai i the
only satisfaction left me in life is that it
is so. When are yon going to have me
arrested?"
"That is not for me to say," he replied,
biting his lips.
She put her hand upon his arm. The
touch was light, but he felt it to the
marrow of his bones,
"If it is to be done," said she in a mur
mur, "let it be done by yon. I could
bear ruin that came from yon but not
from any other!"

BROKE THE TOBACCO TROST
Tobacco Manufacturers Losing
Ten Millions a Year. .
Great Excitement in St. Louis No Pos
sibility of Preventing; Still
Greater Lou in '96.
8t. Louis, Feb.j5. (Special.) Colonel
William Kirchofl', General Western Man
ager of the American Tobacco Company,
has been a user of tobacco all his life, and
for years has smoked as many as twenty
cigars daily. After using a few boxes of
No-To-Bac, the desire for tocaoco is com
pletely gone, and he is wonderfully im
proved in health. His care is attracting a
great deal of attention and comment and
many prominent St. Louis business men
are following his example. People are just
waking up to the fact that the continued
use of tobacco is very injurious.
An interview with Mr. H. L. Kramer,
the originator of No-To-Bae, develops the
fact that within three years it has reached
an enormous sale, almost entirely upon
merit alone. Over one-million boxes of
No-To-Bao have been sold, and 300,000 to
bacco users cured. At the present rate No-To-Bao
will cure in '96 from 200,000 to
800,500, and as Mr. Kramer says, "it is al
ways the worst cases that want a cure;
chose who have chewed and smoked from
boyhood some of them thirty, forty and
fifty years, and we even have records of
cures aiter sixty years of tobacco using.
So, you can see that, if they are spending
an average of $50 a year (this is a small
amount), the cure of 200,000 tobacco users
in '96Vwould result in the loss of the sale of
tobacco amounting to over $10,000,000
which will be saved to the cured "
No-To Bac is truly a medical wonder, for
it not only destroys the desire for tobacco,
but invigorates the nervous system and
marvelously increases weight and strength.
Like all great successes, No-To-Bao has
many imitations and substitutes, and the
public should be warned against them.
No-To-Bac is the original tobacco habit
cure, and is sold under an absolute guar
antee to cure the tobacco habit by your
own druggist.
The Quality of Tact.
Tact is not dishonesty, writes Frances
E. Lanigan in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. It does not mean the suppression of
the truth nor the expression of an un
truth, but it does mean the withholding
of gratuitous disagreements from argu
ments in which they are quite superflu
ous. It also means the effort to induce
an agreement kindly when possible, and
if an agreement is impossible it demands
a gracious acceptance of opposing views.
Tact cannot be said to be synonymons
with policy. Tact is always honest, and
policy cannot invariably be said to have
that distinguishing mark.
He spake these words of solemn truth,
In tones worn thin and reedy :
"A blooming idiot I in youth,
Now that I'm old I'm seedy."

be in passing the invitation by.
