Amid the fright of that moment the filling was strong npon me that a gntcsipae tiiiistake had been made. Why should tbt-e people wish to do me txxu lv harm? I had committed no crime since my entrance into the state of Mis sissippi, and meu could not bestirred to audi violence by auy canse other than au outrageous violation of law. But the peril was imminent, and bad scarcely time to draw my weapon and back agaiiift the wall when tbe mob swarmed in after the landlord. As tbe foremost wore making for me I lev tied my weapon and called out: "Halt: the lire one lays a hand on me will be a dead man !" The bravest persons do not rash to certain death. There was a panse, al though the men in the door kept push ing forward until there was danger ot the loaders being forced agaii'st me. The countenance were like those of the canaille during the commune. Anger, fierce resolve and an alinoet irresistible yearning to clutch my throat were stamped on the faces, some of which were bearded, some clean shaven, while among the savage group were several who were not yet out of their teens. Their attire was coarse and slovenly. Most of them were in slouch hats, with out coat or vest, with trousers tricked iu their boots. Two bad rides in their hands, three carried revolvers, while as many more grasped ehor , thick clubs, and a fourth gripped a fence paling. If a baud to band contest opened, I might shoot dowu a number, but I could not hold out againtt a determined attack. Three persons in the group attracted my attention. Aunt Jleg had fled before the mob, but ber husband and Squire Uager remained. Tbey were powerfully excited, like the others, but less demon strative. The landlord was struggling to keep back the rush aud begging his frisuds not to be too hasty. Ho only par tially succeeded in restraining them. Tbe third man bad come through the door and moved a couple of paces aside, where he stood with bis back against the wall, silent, but intently scrutiniz ing me. il:s face was smooth shaven. and be hud dark hair aud eyes. The pe culiarity of the situation was tbe feel ing that I bad seen him before, but I could not recall the time or place, and the terrifying circumstances prevented my giving the matter further thought. I fixed my eyes on the foremost man as the leader, and when something like a bush had been restored, so that noth ing but the hurried breathing and an occasional muttered imprecation were beard, I said, addressing him : "From your looks aud actions you dean me harm. I demand to know the tause for such treatment." The savage faces broke into sneering grins, aud one or two guffawed. The man to whom I spoke and who held a Winchester in bis grasp replied: "Hunk Beyer, you've got cheek. We've all knowed you for a rogue ever since you was a boy, but we never got it dead to rights on to you till today. " "Got what dead to rights on me?" I asked, a glimmering of light beginning to bteak through my muddled braiu. "The horse you stole from Colonel Mausley Is in Tom Bulfinch'a barn. You've kept clear of the law so long that you thought you was in no danger. You rid the animal here and bad Tom put him in bis stable. He was stole from Colonel Maualcy last night. I don't suppose you've ever beerd of this before; of course not." The truth flashed npon me. The ani mal which I bad bought that afternoon from tbe stranger at tbe crossroads had been stolen by him. I bad ridden the horse to Aldine without a suspicion of the truth aud in my stupidity had helped ou the fearful blunder by allow ing myself to be addressed by bis name without protest. Ai if that inane busi ness was not enough, I bad virtually admitted that my name was Hauk I3eyer in my conversation with Land lord Bultinch and S;uiro Gag.-r. Beyer was my double, aud the resemblance be tween us was so perfect tbat our own mothers might have been puzzled. It would be idle for me to attempt to blulf it through. I was iu the gravest peril. Many an innocent man has been I banged by a mob, and unless these head-1 long yeomen could be convinced of their blunder my lif J was likely to pay j the forfeit. With this conviti.n upon mo another ' startling truth I. came manifest. The real thief was in tbe room. He was the young man standing near tbe door, with j bis Lack againi-t tho wall, aileutly and ' intently watc bing me. Fie bad shaved off his mustache siuce our meeting and 1 his dress bad been changed. He bad , still a respectable appearance, bnt on-! questionably he was tbe criminal. No wonder be was int. rest.-d iu me. "My friemls." I said, speaking ear-! nestly, and iustantly tbe hush became ' profound, "you bave made a great mis- i take. You tuke tne fr a man whom yon : call Hank Beyer, but I assure you 1 1 am not be" j At that moment it seemed as if bed- j lam bad Lr- ken loose. The whole I crowd, numbering fully 15, broke into j uproarious laughter. Some slapped otn-1 era on their shoulders, one man bent nearly double, and, flinging bis hat on tbe floor, stamped rn it, while all thought it tbe best j-ke of tbe season. Landlord Bulfinch may bave had a ivm pethy for me, as he bad proved at first, but be made matters still worse by call ing out: "Don't show the white) feather, Hank! Try some other tack!" "This strikes ynn as very funny," I added, when partiul qniet bad been re stored, "but if yoo. will give me time I'll prove it, and" "That won't do. Hank." Interrupted the man whom I had fixed upon as the leader and whose, nam I afterward found to be Jim Duugan. "If Joa ain't HanF Beyer, who are y oof "I sMa Edwaid Katun ore, and mt OfA DOUBLE : Kit.ztt'A.l home is in New York city. I reached r .ej'J, v i -i ... -.'j itr-'vwrv-j-.. 'X "lam Ed icinf Ken more, and my home u in -cic i DTK city." Bontbneld yesterday on the steamer New Orleans and started to walk to Al dine" "What bus'ness brought yon to Al aline?" again interrupted Dungan. "I am bookkeeper in a bank. Oar cashier ran away some weeks ago with a large amount of the bank's funds, said we beard he was biding at Aldine, was sent to arrest bim, but it seems he bss never been here." It was evident that not a man in the room believed a word I bad said uulesa it wan my double standing near the door, and of him I was not certain. I saw a sarcastic smile .on bis face, but be let the others do the talking. He must bave foreseen that his pounding in tbe crucible would come very soon. "You say you started to walk. How, then, was it yon rid into Aldine ou Colonel Mausley's blooded chestnut?" I foresaw the rumpus tbat would fol low my explanation. "At the crossroads about nine mile out a young man rode down from the rlirectiou of Mapleton. He was mounted ou the horse which has caused this trou ble. He told me he was in need of money, aud be sold bim to me for til)" I said more, but not a syllablo was audible. Every one seemed iu danger of apoplexy from furious merriment. They struck one another, flung their hats down, and one caught up a plate from the table aud shattered it over the head of Landlord Bulfinch, who seemed un aware of tbe proceeding. The uproar lasted for several minutes, when Dungan managed to make himself beard. His remarks may be characterized as point edly personal. "I never knowed a borse thief that wasn't a coward. Hank, if yon want to save your neck from the noose, yon'll bave to get up a better yarn than that. Twon't da" "Let me ask you a question," I said in deadly earnest, for it looked certain that the matter was to be aettlod by a fight. "Waal, what is it?" "You would not stand by and see an innocent man hanged, would you?" "We ain't going to bang any inno cent man. W e've got hold of the worst borse thief in the state. We ain't mak ing auy mistakes there, Hank." "But you are. That the resemblance between me and this Hank Beyer is very close is clear. Nevertheless he is another person altogether. I bave in my pocket tbe warraut for tbe arrest of our absconding cashier, aud I can prove my identity by other papers." I lowered my weapon and started to bring out the documents, when Dungan waved bis band. "It's no use to keep np this fooling. We don't want to see auy of tbe papers that was stole or fixed up for this bus' ness." "Bnt the real thief, the genuine Hauk Beyer, is standing in this room with me." Before any explanation could be asked of this remark, I pointed my fin ger at tbe young man by tbe door and said impressively: "There stands the criminal for whom yon are looking. He is the real Hank Beyer." CHAPTER IV. Every eye turned toward the man whom I indicated. He must bave ex pected something ot the kind from my manner, for he was prepared for it, and never was there more perfect acting. He stared right and left, as if be did not quite comprehend what I said and then with a laugh called nut: "What's that. Hank?" "Yoo are Hank Beyer," I added, keeping my finger point. d at bim and restraining my anger. "You know it as well as I. Dure yon deny it?" His merriment aeeined so hearty tbat several Joineil it. Comprehending bis baseness, it required my utmost self re straint to ktvp tnm nulling a ballet into his worthless brains. "If you deny that yon are Hank Beyer, w ho are you?" "You ought to know. Hank," be said, with amazing coolness. "I came up on the steamer Bonnie Belle yester day with you from New Orleans and yon won all I had at poker." All who looked at tbe miscreant must bave noted bis extraonliusry re semblance to me. Had be not removed his mustache the difference would have been nnappreoiable. His preparation for bis part was admirable, for when he spoke I observed tbat bis voice soouded diff rent from when be talked with me at tne croaT'iads. He had suc ceeded to perfection iu disguising it. Since he waa a stranger t.i tbe rst (or, what was tne same, tbey believed bim to be stub.. I h ;d to ga:u an ad vantage f.-uia that 1 1. 1.

An American tehout will toon be opened la Havana, where tbe pupiU will be tutored by American methods and exclusively in the English tongue Mis Frances Molina, who has the honor of founding the school, la a Cuben-born girl, but was educated in this country and is a graduate of the New York Normal College. She has for some years been a teacher of Span iah in this city In tbe public and pri vate schools. She jailed for Havana today on tbe City of Washington. Mis Molina said that tbirty-ttlx pupils have already been entered ' In tbe school and applications have been received from several hundred others among them Spanish residents of the Cuban capital, who are eager to have their children tutored by American methods. In reply to Inquires, Miss Molina stated that her deaire was to have the school become as public as possible and with the large enroll ment now assured, she hoped to see the cost of tuition reduced to a mini mum. beverai assistants are asso ciated with her in the work, and as fast as they are needed others will be engaged. Etch must be thor oughly familiar with Cuban charac ter and speech, and of duly accredi ted standing in American educational work. A large quantity of American text books and modern school supplies was shipped several days ago to Ha. vana, where such articles are not easily obtained. CARPEP HAtibiERS OFF COLOR. No carpet-baggers need apply. The policy of this government will be to put natives In offices in Porto Rico, Cuba and tbe Philippines. A Cabi net meeting of extraordinary length was held the last week in December. It began at the usual time, 11 o'clock and lasted nearly three hours. The protracted session gave rise to an im pression that the conditions in Cuba and the Philippines had increased In gravity. But after the meeting members explained that the time had been given to an exhaustive dis cussion of policies of the administra tion rather than to the possibilities of immediate trouble. The keynote of the conclusion was that in the new government to taae tbe place of Spanish rule the post. tions shall be filled by tbe inhabi tants. The fewest possible Americans will be sent from this country to hold offices In the islands. It will be necessary to rend some experts from tbe United States to instruct in Am erican methods and to supervise the work of some departments. But these will not be many, and th ey will be for the most part men taken from similar lines of official duty in this country. In the course of the discussion by the Cabinet it was made clear tbat this administration will not do any thing to encourage carpet-bagging. There will be no patronage to distri bute in theireorganlzation of govern ment in these islands. Experts will be sent lo barely necessary numbers to show the native office-holders the new ways, to insure 'efficiency aud honesty. This applies to the customs and to the. mail services especially. Tbe work of the offices will be done and the salaries will be drawn by ap pointees from among tht residents of each locality. Home rule with tbe absolutely essential American leaven will be tbe policy. A. K. Handy Is missing, and is supposed to be lost in the mountains In the vicinity of his home on the head waters of Rock creek. 12 miles southwest of Fall city, Polk county. with a companion named Fano'he went hunting Friday morning and was seen by rano at l o'clock in the afternoon. Handy was then about two miles from home. That night be i failed to return. Tbe newely-fallen snow probably obliter ated all tracks. Fa no bunted for him all the following day, but with out success. Sunday, all tbe neigh boring mountaineers Joined in tbe search, which has since been prose cuted In vain. Relatives In Corvallls have sent out additional searchers from Falls City, but have found no trace of the lost hunter. A petition Is in circulation at Cor- vallis asking congress to survey the Willamette a considerable distance up and down tbe river in the vicin ity of the Stablbush island.

TEXT OF PROCLAMATION All Ports aud Places iu the Philip. plae Islands will lie opeu te Commerce. Manila, Jan. 5. President Mc- Kinley's proclamation to the Filip inos, cabled to Otis from Washington has been issued here. Washington, Jan. 5. The text of tlie instructions sent to General Otis at Manila to be proclaimed to tbe Filipinos as to their future treat ment by the United States has been made public. After citing the tie. struction of the Spanish fleet in Ma nila harbor, the success of the Amer ican arms and tbe signature of the treaty of peace, and mentioning the fact of the United States' acquisition of sovereignty over the entire Phil ippine group, the president continues : "It will be the duty of the com mander of the forces of occupation to proclaim in the most public manner that we come, not as invaders or con querors, but as friet ds, to protect the natives in their homes, in their em ployments and in their personal and religious rights. All srsins who either by active aid or honest sub mission co-operate with the govern' ment of the United States to give effect to thtse bt-m fleeut purposes will receive the reward of its supMrt and protection. All others will be brought within the lawful rule we have rssumed with firmness if need be. but without severity, so far as may be possible. "Within the aoeolute di main of military authority, which necessarily is and must remain supreme in the ceded territory until legislation of the United States shall otherwise pro vide, a.uniciial laws of territory in respect to private rights and proerty and repression of crime are to be con sidered as continuing in force aud to be administi red by the ordinary tribunals as far as poexible. The operations of the civil and municipal government are to be jierformed by such officers as may accept the supre macy of the United States by taking the oath of allegiance or by officers chosen so far as may be practicable from the inhabitants of the islands. "While the control of all public- property and revenues pannes with cession, and while uss and manage ment of all public means of transpor tation are necessarily reserved to the authority of the United States, pri vate property, which belongs to indi viduals or corporations, Is to be re spected except for cause fully estab lished. "Taxes and duties heretofore paya ble by the inhabitants to the late gov ernment become payable to the authorities of the United States unless it be seen fit to substitute for them other reasonable rates or modes of contribution to the expenses of the government, wheather general or local. "If private property be taken for military use it shall be paid for when possible in cash at a fair valuation, and when payment in cash is not practicable receipts are to be given. All ports and places in the Phil ippine islands in actual prwseMsion of the land and naval forces of the United States will be opened to the commerce of all friendly natun s. All goods and wares, not prohibited for military rrasons by due announce ment of military authorities, will be adn itted npon payment of such duties and other charges shall be in lorce at the time of their importation. Finally it shall be the earnest and paramount aim of military adminis tration to win the confidence, resjiect and affection of the inhabitants of the Philippines by assuring to them in every poswible way the full meas ure of individual rights and liberty which it the heritage of a free people and by providing to them that the mission of the United States is be nevolent, substituting the mild sway of Justice and of light for arbitrary rule. A strong arm of authority must prevail to repress disturbance and to overcome all obstacles to the btwt of all blessings, WILLIAM McKINLEY." THE XEVT SEN ATE. Not one straight democrat from the Northern states will be a mem ber of the next senate whose term liegins March 4. Thirty senators end their period of service ou that day, and in filling the seats the demo crats of the north will be entirely un represented. It is au extraordinary fact in American politics. The sen ators from Utah and Montana, will be elected by fusion legislatures and are as much populist as democratic. A close estimate of the next senate is fifty-four republicans, M democrats and 10 pops and silverites, a republi can majority over all of eighteen. The -6 democratic senators are from the south, but that sir t ion is no lon ger solid. It sends 10 republicans to the next senate. In live years the republicans have pained eighteen seats in the senate. They have been strengthened most in Ihe branch where stability Is the greatest, a mat ter of unusual political significance. The democrats in the next senate will number less than one-third of the whole body, while the republi cans will lack but six votes of two thirds. A remarkable change has occurred in the senate, but it lias beeu spread over several years and its full importance has hardly been realized. There is still, in a technical sense, a democratic party in the north. It claims the name and is iu ios.sessiou of the machinery. Rut the demix-ra-tic party as it was has passed away. The situation in the: next senate proves it. Gorman, of Maryland, is among the missing. Murphy ot New York, Smith of New Jersey, Gray of Delaware, Mitchell of Wisconsin, W hite of California, Turpie of In diana and Faulknes of West Virginia are in his company. There are re publican gains over the )pulists iu the transmississippi region. The passing of the democratic party oc curred there some .time ago. All that remains of it Is a minor elemeut available for nothing except fusion combinations. Here is the remnant of the fusion democracy and popu lism In the next senate: One mem ber from Colorado, one from Idaho, one from Kansas, one from Montana, two from Nevada, two from South Dakota, two from Utah and one from Washington. To this total of eleven senators, of all shades ofopiniou, is the opposition reduced in the north. As far as the senate Is concerned, the northern democrats are virtually ex tinguished. So much for the Chicogo platform experiment. Looking over the w hole field, there is no encovragement whatever for another debased money campaign. The senate blocks the way for a long ieriod. Even it the tide could set in that direction during the next two years, the Fifty-sixth Congress will be in full accord with the president, and will put up the legislative bars against every form of, 'tampering; with the 100c dollar. Mr. Bryan's friends may insist on his renomina tion, but they can not restore the conditions of 16!G. Their opisiituni- ties for mischief in lDiiO will be in finitely less than in.the "first battle." Then they had thesenate, which will now be against them. Sound money legislation was then impossi ble. For the next two years it will lie easy. The fusionists two years ago had a programme j which they could have enforced, the moment they came into power. All that is changed. Their chance to uset the currency of the country has petered out.

The life saving service is credited with having rescued over 3,000 per sons, whose lives would have been bust but for their efforts, in the ter rific storm which swept the North Atlantic coast recently. Those heroes who readily risk their lives in the etTort to save others from a watery grave are seldom thought of by the public.
