CHAPTER UI.
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

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

THX AMERICA SCHOOL.
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.

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.

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. Globe Democrat.
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. Every day dtssls are ierforiii.
ed which rival the bravest perform
ance of the warrior, yet the heris-s of
(eace are s sin forgotten. Ihe Jim
Iilulsos of the world are noticed by
few and are soon out of mind, w hilo
the deeds of the Holisons shine w ith
undimned splendor for generations.
An ( xchange wisely remarks that
there ought to lie no ni-ed for curfew
laws. Every home should lie wisely
ordered that tbe children would have
neither the opportunity nor the in
clination to roam the streets after
night. A boy's home should Is. the
ni'is-t attractive place on earth to
him. A girl should love the com
lai y and rejoice in the confidence of
