take his chance there. Ho JikIkoU from

already burned In Ix'tween Bnrkfioni

timber or luuidi It crept along tlie rail
fences or run with tiny spurts of flume
through the dry weeds nnd dead stub
ble which covered mudi of the cleured
hind.
He could see a number of people
moving about a quarter of n mile west
of the depot. They were tearing down
a burning fence that was lu perilous
proximity to some straw stacks and a
barn.

train. He disappeared Into the depot
Koger Oakley waited until It was
qulto dark, and then, leaving the strip
of woods Just back of the depot, where
be had been hiding, stole cautiously
down to the track. lie had noticed that
there were an engine and some freight
cars on one of the sidings. He moved
among them, keeping well In tlie
shadow. Suddenly he paused. Two
men emerged from the depot They

earnestly together. One swung himself
up Into the engine and lighted a torch.
lie wondered what they were doing
and stole ncmcr.
They were standing on the plati'orm
now, and the man who held the torch
had his back to blm. His companion
was siijlng something altout the wires

one lu Ills otllce seemed to know when

wrote a letter telling him of the con

pluming the utter futility, lu view of
w tin t li.id happened, of bis trying to
rope with the situation.
He waited the days for a reply aud.
none coming. Hired to learn If Ills let

results. Helloway wired back that be
li.id the letter under consideration and
requested Oakley to reiiiulu 111 Chicago
until be returned, but he did not say
whether or not his reslguntlou would
be accepted. Since tli.'re was nothing

there was uo mention of blm. Holt,
with whom he was lu constant corre

capture hud considerably abated, while
the organized pursuit had entirely
ceased.
Dan bad the feeling that he should
never see him again, ami the pathos
of his age and dependence tore bis
heart. In a manner, too, he blamed
himself for the tragedy. It might have
been averted bud bo said less about
Ityder in his father's hearing. lie
should have known better than to dis
cuss the strike with him.
One morning os lie left llolloway's

been together lu Denver yeurs before,
and he had known him as u rather
talkative young fellow, with large
hopes und a thrifty eye to the main
chance. But he was the one man he
would have preferred to meet, for he
had been lu Houth America and knew

"Well, then, you must drop In at my

"What about the roud you are with?"
"Oh, the road? We are pnttlng It In

Oakley smiled a trifle skeptically. ,
lie recalled that even as a very young
man, tilling a very subordinate posl- '

Curtice saw the smile and remembered :

"Oh, the road's ulwtiys made money.
That was the trouble." Oakley looked (
dense. He had heard of such tblugs,
but they had been outside- of his own

Sheboygan, Wis., Apr. 2a. 107.
H. M. Cosh, Medford, Ore.
Dear Sir: ,
Replying to your favor of the lilth
inst., will say that we have hereto
fore appointed you sole agent in
Southern Oregon aud wish to men
tiou the fact once more that you
are the only dealer iu the sooth
eru part ot Oregon, thtt is eutitled
to Bell the "S. W. Miller" pianos
manufactured by the S. W. Miller
Piano Co. rf Sheboygan, Wis. Any
other piano turned out or manu
factured or stenciled with a aimilar
uame is a rank stencil and is uot the
genuiue "S. W. Miller" piano. Iu
order to protect the buying public
from frauds of this kind, we wish to
say that all genuine "S. W. Miller"
piauos are manufactured at Sheboy
gan, Wta. and have the name "S. V.
Milltr. Cabinet Oraud, Chicago and
Sheboygau" ou the fall leant aud also
have the name "S. W. Miller Piano
Oj. " Oket iu the cast iron plate. Auy
other piano with a similar name ex
cepting the Henry V. Miller piano
manufactured at Botsnn, Mars, are
rank stencils, aud if we can trace
tneir origin, we will certainly bring
suit ngaitit all such uiauufactari r
and dealers. The genuiue "S. W.
Miller" piano is strictly high grale
aud cannot be sold for a low price,
as there is uo better piano manu
factured iu the world.
We attach to this letter a caution
slip printed a year ago, when we bad
similar trouble with some manu
facturers making stencil S. W. Miller
piano aud itenciliug it Chicago.
These parties were promptly d alt
with and had a tood suit on their
hands to settle, which they have done
and we have not been bothered with
these people but now it appears that
tome other concern is makiu, a simi
lar stencil piano aud sleuoiling it
New York. It will be a very easy
matter for us to find out the origin of
any steueil "S. W. Miller" pianos
aud we will deal with them very
harshly, as we will appeal this matter
to the Manufacturers Association aad
ate sure that we can find out the
offender.
As far as any other dealer is con
cerned, who states that he can sell an
"S. W. Miller" piauo $-'i0 less than
too can. will say that it is absolutely
false, as no one in Southern Oregon
can buy an "S. W. Miller" piano
from ns, while yoa are oar sole repre
sentative. Slucerely trusting that this infor
mation will enable yoa to set yopr
customers aright In this matttet and
protect them from frauds, we are,
