HOW Trie fiEHOX SUtfWEU MM PUT. The stage from Hunter's Camp to Vermlale made two trii per week each way, topplng at Star City and Lariat. Vtvnilal) was a supply sta tion ou the Pacific Rail rod J and Hunter's Camp waa a mining settle ment some sixty tulles inland. Htar City aud Lariat were neither supply stations nor mining ramp, hut rival town struggling for the r-awrilon of thi county neat when the new county of Custer afcoiild be net off. They had beeo ranches In the early Uay, l.ut now that the country wait beginning to be mure thickly settled a vlllag and poHt office had tpruag up at each place. Of course there wan the mot iutum rivalry between them. "Who's that stranger that vow la to town on the triage to-day?" "1 don'no," Major Wilson, the postmaster of Htar City responded. "He asked ma where he could get board for a few days and I sent him to the Last Turn or tho Brick Front. But he came back after a while and asked if there wasn't some private place he could stay. My wife hap pened to be in the store Jest then, and he persuaded her to take him in. lie' some sort of an advance agent for a gospel mill, I guess." The younx man who waa the sub ject of this conversation, Fred II Curtin, was a Sunday Hchool mis sionary, sent by the board from Yale Seminary. "1 am neither grub nor butterfly," he said, pleasantly, when traduced by Mrs. Wilson as "rever end." "I am only sent here for llu summer and then I must go hack to complete my studies before I can Is made a full-fledged minister. Hut while I am here I shall do my ti to preach and teach In the Sunday school which I hope you will estab lish. That Is, I'll preach If you'l come to hear me," be added, laughing.. By the next day at noo it wa pretty generally knowa that the "parson," as they called him, had come to make their village his head quarters for the summer campaign 01 Hunday school mission work. Bit the fact that his errand was knowi did not keep the missionary fron cailiug upon all the families In th town and the adjacent country t Invite them to the meeting he pro posed to hold on tho following Sunday. He found them willing enough ti join with him In the effort to wcun a school, the more so because tip town of Lariat had for more tha i t year boasted of a Sunday school Curtin came at length to ineutioi the school at Lariat as a means 01 lutroducing his project. Lariat did Indeed have a Sabbath school of which It was justly proud. The ir-lstionary superintendent oi the northwestern district had tol.i young Curtin the circumstances ol Its organization, but it' was not until Fred had reached the ground and pent a day and a night with tht leader that he fully appreciated what a school would be which was "ruu on purely business principles." The superintendent of missions bad told hltn that there was, so far as he knew, not one single professing Christian concerned In the management of the organization. J But the people had wanted their children gathereJ Into a school and he had chosen the most available teachers out of the material at band. When the young mission ary arrived at Lariat he had Inquired curiously of the leader concerning the success of the school. : "You aee the school is bound to go, bein' organised in the way ll was. The .missionary he stayed rouud here for two days work In' the thing up, but It waa hay harvest and he couldn't get a crowd together no how. We'd give him the slip on Sunday inornin' an' got off to the hay meadows we had to. But he follcred us .up a hone-back an' preached to us by Installments all day. When night come he organ Ized the school on the hay wagon on the road home so as we shouldn't get scattered again. We all prom ised him we'd stop worklu' on Sun days and stick to the Hjnday school and we hev." Due young farmer to whom Fred applied for information had said: "lien Looinl is a hustler, you bet. Whatever he takes hold of doesn't merely go, it's got to hum. He aiu't very pious, Hen ain't- uned to get on a tear like the test or us some times; but he never gels full on Sat urday nights now, an' he's reg'lar as a clock at that Sunday school of hisu. He had a tree last Christmas rigged her all Hp himself for a sur- rise. Then he offers prizes to the scholars that don't mis a Sunda) during the quarter, and he give a dollar a Sunday to the kid thai learns the moid bible verts. 80 Hie school has a reg'lar boom all tin time." "Who teaches the spiritual truth of the lea-anus, and who leads li prayer?" "I don't kniw much al ut the spirilu il truths of the lessons, I gu ee msyle they don't have 'em In thie actiool, but I ran tell you how they niHiiHge the pra in' part. That wa the thing that snick Ben at first. He didn't want to be the leadtT lie cause he knew somebody had ought to pray, an' he thought it warni't quite the thing for him to do. But Benjamin he was In for It, and he worked it out like tnls: the first Sunday ha says, 'I ain't got no pray In' books here to-day, bat I bav sent for some cards an' neat Sunday we'll have all things In good shape.' 80 the next Sunday Ben tapped the bell an' the whole achool stood up. Now,' says be, I doa'l koaw any Utter prayer than the Lord's Prayer, if anybody else does he ran blaze away after we get done. All that knovta the Lord' Prayer by heart eltx-e their eyes, an them that don't aiu't to take their eyes ofTn the cards. When I lap the hell, all lie gin at once. An' an they've kept it up that way ever el nee." The greatest difficulty which the young missionary had found In Star City was to secure a suitable building in which to hold his meeting. The school directors were In a quarrel, but the very man who had refused the use of a school building had of fered to head a subscription paper to fuy for the use of a good-sized hall over one of the saloons of the town. As there was no other room to be had this was engaged for the sum mer. Then the question of seating arose. Extra chairs weie Dot very plentiful In the houses. Stumm, the keeper of the ?aloou below, used the room for storing his beer kegs, both full and empty. It was be w ho sug gested: "Fy don't you got some poards von Russell's lumper yardt oiidt and sdretcn 'ein der peer parrel sgroes to make seadts?" When the Sabbath morning came Curtin ascended the outside staircase .0 the ball with a beating heart, hair expecting that there might be no 'ody gathered to hear him after all. To his surprise he found the board eats already well tilled by the wom en aud children of the settlement. 1'ont master Wilson stalked up to him s he sat facing the audience. "Don't you begin this meetin' until I can call the boys in. The 'iien'll be here, every one of 'em, 1 1 vou only give 'em time." First they sang, the preacher lead ing and others Joining as the owner f the voices grew more bold. Then prayer and more singing, with read ing from the scriptures ' and still mother song. They were warmed ip by this lime and the missionary a-gan his sermon feeling quite en ouraged. He had some ability a hi extempore speaker and was undii ull swing when there was a ratth uider the floor at his feet; then r vet Ion of the floor swung upward' nd the frowzy red head and beard f Stumm, the saloon-keeper, aj (jeared. "I peen sorry to 'sturb you, poss. ut de breachin' prought a pig grow ind I haf more peer soldt ah I ex pected. So I must haf some of den T kegs If you blease," he added, eeing that the postmaster's eye war ixed coldly upou him. There was a half-suppressed snick r In the back of the hall as Stumn leli vered himself of this long speech flic missionary stood staring at th ntruder for a moment, but the laugi irooght him back to the reallzatlo hat he must keep his grip on th meeting if his work was to be 1 lUccess. "Well, hurry up and get one ot he kegs down. One will be enough; this crowd up here doesn't want an, 'ieer to-day." From the same, quarter of the room whence the laugh had arisen, one hoarse voice now spoke In what was meant to be a whisper: "WhatV the matter with the parson? Stumm is called without a trump this time!'' And Fred secretly exulted that hit' grasp on the meeting had been strengthened. When he had finished his speech he lnlted any one whe would declare for or against the pro J'Ctcd Sunday school. For half a minute there was an oppressive sil ence, and then big Jim Howarth rune solemnly to say, "Major Wllsoii; he's the man to put this thing right." Thus dragged Into public view, the postmaster began as if at a polit ical meellug: "Fellow citizens, I feel sure that there ain't a single voter In this large and representative assembly which I see before me who ain't got the welfare of our thriving young city near to his' heart. What ever helps to boom Star City meets with our cordial approval and sup port. We want all the special at tractions that there Is a-goln'. Most of you know this young man that has cast In his lot with us. From all I can Judge of the plan he's proposed here to-day for the promotion of our religious interests, think there ain't no reason why we shouldn't adopt it at once. Most of us kuow that such a school as this is carried on In a town much smaller and lew enterprising than this I mean the village of lariat. If Iriat can have a sickly school, Htar City ran support a lve one. M-i I'm for the school, first, last and all the time. We are bound to heat Lariat. I therefore motion that wo have the school." ' The meetings at Star City and Lariat went on regularly for some time, the young missionary preach ing once a Sunday In each place Me soon purchased a pony and be an Itinerating through the smaller ittlements of the whole region, n.Llliig occasional services wherever ie could secure a hearing. Late one Sunday afternoon In Jul) lir-e men lay 011 the grant behind a .roup of willows that fringed the ris k a abort distance out of Lariai. Th ir faiva were lirotisv-d with lite sun toil rsldened and swollen w ith liquor. Mi hum long after iln) light they had la-en tying under the wil lows, iiiseiiilile to the at lugs of the mo-qulloee that preed uisin their hands and laivs and deaf to the damping of their ponies picketed near by. The youngest of the men. the Misaoull Kid, wakened by the sound of galloping hoofs on the op posite side of the creek, sat np and rubbed his eye. 8 1 retching out a spurred boot he kicked the other two men Into sensibility. "8ay, Pete, Bill! Here's the par son from Star City. He's come up the short cut through tua vfiley OA. he's got to crime the creek lure. Let's have some fun with him." The men at up, grumbling pro fanely at leing r'U-ed, but having slHI enough bad wliiky in them to make them ready for any bruiul amusement, especially at the expen.-o of one for whom they boie no love. The uiisniouary had crusaed the creek aud ridden up to the men be fore he saw them. He greeted them courteously and was rMiug by w hen they called out, "Hold" 011 1 We have some business with you." At the same moment a horse-hair rope dexterously wound itself around the fore leg of his pony. "Waut to trade bontu?" "No; mine suits me very well." It was the Miula Kid who con ducted the parley. He now came and pulled the pony's mouth open, pretending with great gravity to examine her teeth. Suddenly he gave her head a vicious twist, almost bringing the little animal to her knee.'. The missionary dismounted precipitately. "Whoa, Sukey!" said the Missoula Kid, with a feint to kick the beast. "Don't!" warned the missionary, springing to the horse's head, while a bright flush mounted to his cheek and his hands nervously knotted themselves into fists and theu un clasped themselves. The cowboy grinned. "You be the parson, aiu't you? Come from Star City, eh? Weil, we're the committee app'iuted by the citizens of Lariat to run you out of town. You may suit them chumps down at Star City, with your psalm pingiii' mid gm-pel preachiu', but the thing don't go here. We're aot that kind of a crowd." "Oeutlemen," proteMed the mis sionary, keeping his temper admir ably, "I have ail appointment to preach iu Lariat to-night ; and I am going to preach there. Ther&must be some mistake." "So you say we're lyin', eh? Oct right down on your knees an' prom .se that you'll leave the country be ore morula', or we'll run you out." "I will not," was ull the mission iry would say. "Theu we'll have to carry out our rders." "Geutlem' n, you know what I'm nere for," he began. "I have not -.ome here to make money. I have come to preach Christ. I have gone uuoug the people ol this whole val ley trying to lend them to better, purer lives. 1 have tried to follow uy Master" "Hold on, Parson, this ain't no religious' conference. Uet onto that ay use of mine aud keep quiet, unless you want to be muzzled." Again the firm lips closed. "I wid not," he said. "Then we'll have to proceed ac cordin' to instructions." Taking a rea9y theuter program from his pocket he pretended to read. "The rtrst charge against you, Parson, is that you are working this religious racket of yours so as to boom Star City for the county seat. The second is that you are disturbiu' the peace of Lariat by your highfulutin', ten derfoot notions about its bein' wh-ked to gamble aud get drunk, and so- forth. Aud the sentence Is that you are to be tied to the back of a bron cho and run out of tho couniry. Now put your paws behind your back." Just then there was a rustle behind the willows 011 the hank of the creek and the huge form of Ben Loomis, Winchester In hand, emerged. "The man who made up them charges and who pronounced that sentence is a liar!" he shouted. ' IltiUI up your hands there, you drunken black guards, or the first man that reaches for his pistol gets hurt bad. Now, parson, Just take the guns out of the belts o' them fellows, will you? Hold onto one of 'em and bring the rest to me. Then Just take that rietta that the Kid was goin' to tie you with an' tie the hands of all them fellows, and we'll take the whole gang o' them back to Lariat. Draw the knots tight it won't hurt 'em. Their blood stems to cire'late most too frisky." The missionary went unwillingly about disarming his late tormentors. He ca tried the weapons to the creek bank, talked for a niiuiite with Loomis and then went back to the three sheepish fellows where they stood by their ponies. "Men," he said, "I don't believe you meant to run me out of the couuiry. I won't believe It, anyhow. And I won't take the advantage of you, now that It has turned out in my favor. Here, take your revolvers back again. I have only one riquvst to make," be added, as they took their weapons. "I want you to come to the meeting to-night and sit up front. And if you never say anything about this affair Loomis says he .won't, and I promise you I never will." It was the Mis-oula Kid who spoke flr-t. "Parson, we'll lie there, Here, shake.

The ceremony of "naming" the new grand vizier Is one of the moot impressive sights Imaginable; and, as it has seldom, If ever, been described, au attempt to convey some Idea of it may not be without Interest. It was toward 4 o'clock on Saturday after noon that the servants commenced to carry out from Djevad Pasha's rooms at the Sublime Porte his books, papers, pens and other private paraphernalia. This was the first intimation given to the world that the grand vizier had fallen. Shortly afterward troops filed up the hill and lined both sides of the road from the landing stage at birkidjy to the doors ot the Porte. The news spread like fire under a wind, and by ! o'clock all preparations were com pleted for the reeiptionof the new occupant of the pliucipal nfllce in the empire. . In the greut council chainler the scene was uuiiie in its quiet dignity. The room was crowded with all the high officials presi nt and past, and though an heur or two previously none there hail even guessed what was about to happen, each one look his place sil ently and regularly, without eou fusiou or mistake, awaiting the ad vent of the still unkuowu chief. At the bead of the hall a small vacaut space was left, around which grouped the present ministers and tliose who had previously held port folios. As each came in he iaied slowly up the carpet with one short salute. As soon as he reached the end all present returned the te mena'a with a sweep of the hand to the ground, breast aud lorehead. This rythmical greeting, accentuated by the movement of scarlet fezes In uuisou with open bands, given In snence aud In the ditu curtained light of the council chamber, defies auequate description by the pen. Aud then the newcomer returned the salutes separately, beginning at the left-hand side, round the squaie of bis colleagues, subordinates and superiors, and one more caudldate for the vizierate was effaced. For nobody knew upon whom the choice of the sultan had fallen. Many names were whispered round, but as their owners entered the circle of greeting their chances were seen - to be extinguished. One after another they followed on, till by a process ol reduction it became a question ol only two or three, alt the rest, of Turkey's statesmen, aud all her greatest pashas, having already trodden tne carpet, and taken their seats of expectation. Then from the windows could be seen a small pro cessiou winding up tho ascent. In front were two horsemen, be on th bit a little man, well kuown toali the watchers in the chamber, and ou Hie right the Sheikh ul Islam, shin 111 111 the sunlight With Ills robe o pure white and gold. Iu the pa-ing of a breath tin name of "Ketcliuk Said" fluttend rouud the room, and a few moments later the new grand vizier, who had already thrice gone through the same ceremony, was standing in Ihe center of the ministerial group. There he drew from his breast a green silk bag, and extracting from it the imperial Hatt, he pressed the parchment to his lips and forehead. The dark-bearded sheikh repeated this homage to the words of his 1m ierial master and the Hatt Nvas handed to the F.vrak Mudiri, or keejier of the archives, who read aloud that hiaimiierlal majesty, the sultan, knowing the devotion, well proved, of Said Pasha, intrusted to him the duties of grand vizier, and that, having full confldeuce iu the piety of the Sheikh ul Islam, he prolonged his term of office; being anxious in all things for the Is-st welfare of his pe. pic, and might Al io ghty (lisl bless their efforts to wards that end. Then again a wave of sweeping hands and Is-nding heads went round, and the sheikh, in full, deep tones, offered up a prayer for the sultan and the empire. In a moment the council chamber was transformed into a holy place, and (he politicians, pashas and scribes, with upturned palms, seemed to have forgotten for a space the world and its vanities. It would be hard to imagine anything more striking than this prayer, amid uch surroundings and on such an occa sion. With it term Dated the Investiture. The new grand vizier adjourned to his room with his ministry for cofle and a perfunctory cabinet council, and later on the old and new viziers and ministers repaired to Yi'diz to pay their first, or last, resje-ts, to their lord. Meanwhile, another Halt had arrived, changing the ocru I win of the western wing f the Porte, for Said Pasha, w ho has been minister for foreign affairs fur nine years, was bidden to vacate his fa miliar Pasha. chair in favor of Turkhan Th-re is great danger in neglecting colic, cholera and -Im.lar complaints.

W.reon use.verv'e 01 anirie la-fore luncheon was served. I hat was because Mr'. Solomon, had been in a state of fiil.el from the moment she emerged Irum h r room. Noth ing quite suhid her and her voice rang this. ugh the rooms and halls of the house in fretful tridcism, until Lena declured site would not stand it any longer, and Nillie was ri-duced to tears and hclpl-ness. Mrs. Solo mon barely touched her food at breakfast or luncheon, but after the latter had been oisx.ed of, she be came souiewhut ealuier, and when Nellie cleared tne tbines off the smoking room table and placed be fore her a carved oak box, a happy smile Illuminated her pale face. "Mind, now," said Mrs. Solomon, "and have the lucheon rcrved at halt past 4." "Yes, ma'am," said Nellie and dis appeared. Mrs. Solomon sat down at the ta ble and opened the box, disclosing some packs of playing cards in un opened wrappers aud row after row of Ivory chips, all bearing in the cen ter the engraved monogram "J. S.," mcaninif Judith Solomon. It was Inten -ling to watch her iiMshe picked the ehips out of the box and placed them ot. the table. I leing young and pretty, in spite of herextreame p:illur, aud. poscssing more than us ual grace in all ' her movements, her action in sorting the chips iutopilis of blues and redt ami whites was picturesque. There were six chairs around the luMc, including her own, and 011 the ladle la-fore each chair she placed three piles of chips, consisting of twelve blues, ten reds ami twenty whites. It was I o'clock. A few moments later the bell rang anil the company which Mrs. Solomon had been ex-s-Ung began to arrive. W ilhin ten minutes all hud come. I hey were moat of them women of middle age, although one was gray-haired and one was still in the flush of youth. The door had hardly closed behind the last comer, and greetings had been barely exchanged, wheu Mrs. Soloman sdd : "Now, dears, come right up stairs and get ready. We haven't any time to waste." They followed her to the next ttfior and disapieared withlu her room When they returned to the parlor floor a great transformation had taken place lu there appearance. Their treet costumes bad laeu removed nd replaced by comfortable dressing gowns. No further ceremony was indulged in. They took their places around the table, Mrs. Solomon at the head. She took one of the packs of cards out of the box ami placed It on the table, then put the box on a little stand behind her. "Now, ludies," she said, as she shoved the pack over to the eldest In the party. "I have given you each ii worth of chips. You had better count them to make sure. Mrs. Green, will you please shuffle the cards?" Mrs. Green, the gray-haired mem ber of the party, removed the wrap per from the cards, drew out the joker, and threw it on the floor. Then she shuffled the cards with the skill of a professional, passed them ver to the player at the right to cut them, and finally dealt them. All the players were ' Immediately deeply engrossed in the game. There waa no conversation to speak of, the only garrulous woman in the party a very pale, auburn-haired woman being shut off every time she started to talk by reminders from the other women that she had forgotten to ante or that it was her turn to say a hat she proposed to do. The most remarkable of all the wome'i was a very slight, dark-complexioned wo man with very thin lips and a sharp, straight nose, who was addressed as Mrs. Canlozn. From the time she sat down until the close of the game she never said anything that did not pretain directly to the game. Even when she bet she said nothing, but placed her chips with a soft, cat-like motion in the center of tho table. Her eyes never wandered from her cards, except when she stole a quick glance at the faces of thine who were play ing against her. She was cool at all times, and the most hardened gam bler never concealed his cards more completely than she did. A gambler would have called it a very quick game; that is, the cards were dealt quickly and the bets were quickly made. No time was wasted In the consideration of what might have hapMMnsl had the play been different. Mrs. S0I111011 played the mo-t darling game and Mrs. Cardozo the most successful. At half past four the game was interrupted by the appearance of Nellie, who came to an nounce that luncheon was nerved. "Come, dears," said Mrs. Solomon with a sigh, "we'll stop for a short time and have a I t le luncheon." A chorus of indignant objections greeted this remark. "Oh, ishawl" said Mrs. Green, what Is the u-s of stopping now? The game is Jut getting interesting. We can rat and play." "That's" what I say," chimed in an other, anil the winner, still true t'o her silence, merelp glanced crossly at at Mrs. Solomon. "Oh, very well," snld Mrs. Solo mon, "if you object, w hy we'll con tinue." 80 the game went on, and there was no further interruption lo the play, untill Mr. Solomon arrived at about nix o'clock. He looked into the room with a quizzical smile on his face and said sarcastically: Well, ladies, I am somewhat of a Kill for Infants It in Mrtl1i'r r I!! tv,r,ria W m fcwnww. It Is fcarm'w.

It's frightfully hot in here. Don't you notice it?" "Don't Interrupt us,"sald Mrs. Oreen very solemnly : "we're in the middle of a play.' Mr. Solomon stood undecided for a moment, and then with a grin went up to his room. The play came to end when Mrs. Green, who had bet all her pile of chips, threw down four fives and raked In the big pot which had accumulated under the spirited betting of herself, Mrs. Bolo man and Mrs. Cardozo. The last looked very spitefull as she threw down a full hand of aces on kings. "Dear me,", said Mrs. Solomon, as she showed up an ace-hlgb flush, 1 wasn't in ItaC all." Then she leaned back in her chair and said, "Well, I suppose we've got to stop now. Some day we must arrange to start earlier, and play after dinner, too." The other women reluctantly ad mitted that they, too, thought It was time to stop, as they had to get home to dinner and knew their husbands would be waiting for them even as it was. Each counted her chips and pas-ed them over to Mrs. Solomon, who proved to be the biggest loser ol the day, and had to turn over IIS to her guests to pay her Indebtedness. That amount, and $10 more, contri buted by some of the others losers, went to the chief winner, Mrs. Car dozo. After the accounts had been squared, the woman showed that their tongues were no different from those of the average of their sex, and for about five minutes there was a perfect babel of talk as each told her vexation at not having done some thing that she hadn't done, which would surely have changed the for tunes of the day. Then all of them retired to Mrs. Solomon's room again and once more changed their cos tumes.
