LORD OF THE DESERT By PAUL de LANEY. CHAPTER XVII. The Trapper's Story. ' "Tell us, Mr. Hammersley, about yourself," said Bertha, the night of the trapper's return after supper was ever and the evening wag before them. "Father," she continued, "has told me very much about you, but he only knows your late ufe. We are un der so many obligations to you that I we feel Interested In your early his tory, your childhood, your birthplace, your father and mother, your brothers and sisters everything about you, Mr. Hammersley!" "You ask something that I know but little about, myself," replied the trap per. "I have been on these plains so long that the past all seems like a dream. In fact. It Is so much like a dream that I sometimes get It con founded with my dreams and scarcely know which Is real and which a dream. "I was born In New York City. At least, when I. first recollect, we were living In Boston, and my mother told me that I was born In New York, and that we had lived In Chicago. My step-father was a big coarse fellow, a ship carpenter, and as soon as I was large enough to be In the way he was very cruel to me. It seems that he and my mother were married when I was only two years old, and that my father had died when I was only one year old. I do not even know his name. It Is unfortunate, too, but I was -so young and knew not the Importance of having my own na.me, so I took the name of my step-father, though I bear the given name of my . father. This much I learned, but I do not re member how I learned It. "Anyway, my mother died when I was Btlll a mere child and then I was sent to a sort of orphanage or place for the poor, and as soon as I got old enough to leave the place I did so, and drifted into the streets was a common ' street arab for several years sold papers, shined shoes and did such things as that class of boys do until I was fifteen years old. In the meantime I had been reading cheap novels I had picked up a smattering education at the orphanage, and kept up reading. My soul was fired to go west and kill Indians, and be a hunt er and trapper and do such other things that a frontier life might lead to. "Well, one day I met Leonldas LIg gett, an Englishman, who said he had known my mother and father and took a great Interest In me on that ac count He said that he wag going to Join an Immigrant train to cross the plains and asked me if I did not want to come. It was the thing I most de sired, and I had no preparations to make, as I had all that I possessed In the world on my back. "We Joined the Immigrant train early In the spring and I worked my way by driving stock, helping about camp and doing whatever fell to my lot. ;W had many adventures, were attacked by the Indians, some of the immigrants took sick and died, and the teams gave out, provisions run short. In fact, we had the usual mishaps of a trip across this long stretch of uninhabit ed country. "When we reached the Boise City military post my friend Liggett .met Martin Lyle and after a few minutes conversation he got employment with him and came on to the desert. They seemed to know each other, or some thing of each other, and after they met they were never separated before they left for the plains. Liggett came and bade me good bye and said he was sorry he could not get me em ployment too, but I did not care to come to the desert then, did not want to work on a ranch, and remained with the Immigrant train under the protection of the military post. "An old trapper by the name of Mike Hope came Into Boise one day with a fine load of furs. He was dressed In furs and was scarred and mrged, and told of his adventures on the desert. I followed him about the post every day to hear him relate his adventures and when he had finally sold his furg at a good price and bought his supplies, among them be ing a number of larpe bear traps, I ventured to approach him and request that he tnke me along. He sized me up and after learning from some of the Immigrants with whom I had crossed the plains that I was what he considered a true blue, he consented. "We left and came to this very place, and while he had prepared a great deal pt the Improvements here, I assisted him In making more. But he had found the secret chamber, and It was always guarded as such ana kept prepared as a refuge In case we were ever attacked by the Indians, though he always treated them right and often made them presents. On account of this course we were never attacked by them, though we often met them when they were on the war path. "The second summer after I came poor old Mike left me In charge of the place and traps and he .made an other trip to Boise. That Is the last I ever saw of him. He got Into a game of cards and then a fight and he was killed along with several others In the fight. When I finally became alarmed I made the trip to Boise and learned the facts of his death. I also learned that he did his part In the fight "Left In this manner there was but one thing for me to do. I had learned the trapping business and liked It There was money in it. and I return ed and took chargp of the place as my own. In a short time after my re turn I found your father under the circumstances doubtless that he has already explained to you and since that time I have had no occasion to get lonesome or give up the plains, as I have made his cause my cause and long to see him revenged against the terrible deed of his brother and his companion, Dan Follett." "But did you ever meet your friend Lleeett again." Inquired Bertha. "No. not to talk with him. I only saw him ence, but I do not think he recognized me. I stopped at the Stone House nee for water and saw him there. I do not think he would know me now," said the trapper. "But yon say he seemed to know mv uncle?" replied Bertha. "No, I did not mem that,", said the trapper. "They appeared to know something in common, or to un derstand one Another In some way. But that Is also like a dream and I may hare been mistaken." After a few mom?nts of silence the trapper continued: "So that Is mTj whole story, so far u I know it, and , there Is nothing out of the ordinary about it. The novels I used to read led me to believe that there was ro mance about everything In the west but It Is all alike to me. The dally attention to the traps, the curing of furs, the passing band ot Indians, all except the unfortunate events con nected with yourself and your father are common-place to me." Before the conversation was re newed there wag a pounding on the outer door of the structure, for It was getting on toward midnight and the door had been closed. i The trapper rose and closing all ev idence of a room behind him wended his way to the place of alarm. CHAPTER XVIII. News From the Ston House. Oscar Metzger, one of the surviv ing cowboys, and the one who had been trusted with returning to the Stone House on forming the compact, was found at the door when the trap per responded that nlgbt. He had ridden the Journey In great haste and considered that the circumstances de manded It. All was tumult at the Stone House. Old Egan and his warriors had sur rounded the place and would accept no terms of peace. It was only through an occasional glf$ by the Lord of The Desert to the old chief that he had kept on peaceful terms with him so long for the old chief had always considered the "White Grizzly," as he called him, a menace to the Indian's welfare and an en croacher upon his rights; besides this, the horses and cattle' of the Lord of The Desert had always been considered a valuable prize and the late Improved guns and revolvers about the place had more than once almost gotten the better of the chief's good Intentions; and now that he had caught Dan Follett, the Lord of The Desert's right hand man and hench man, In the act of making away with his horses, and then trailed him back to the Stone House, be took it for granted that It was a ruse on the part of the "White Grizzly" to rob him, and considered all obligations of amity between them closed. It was the blow that he had long desired to strike and he bad come fully prepared to strike It After the capture of Follett the chief had pursued the Warm Springs Indians until he had killed or cap tured a majority of them and retaken all of his horses and several more be sides, and then returned to his camp at the foot of Ash Butte. In the meantime he had wrung from one of the Warm Springs warriors the con fession that Follett had come to the Warm Springs camp and persuaded them to embark In the. enterprise against the Plutes. The old ehlef suspected this, but he wished to as sure his warriors of the fact to make them the more sanguine In the at tack upon the Stone House. On the night of their arrival at Ash Butte a strong guard had been placed over Follett, but a stronger guard had been placed about the horses, which were also carefully corraled that night. Both guards were In structed to keep a vigilant watch, the one to see that their prisoner escaped and the other to see that he did not secure a horse. Late In the night Follett's guard "faked" sleep and the wily French man crawled away as lightly as a cat. When once In the darkness and alone he looked about to secure a horse but he saw the forms of Egan's warriors silhoutted against the horizon when ever he discovered the dark outline of an animal. In making his last at tempt to secure one of the animals, and when he thought be was about to be rewarded for his trouble, a war rior shouted the Indian word for "coyote," and a dozen arrows "whlshed" In close proximity to him. Then he saw them sneaking In his direction as If to surround him, and he made away through the sa?e brush, striking boldly out across the desert, guided by the north star. To add to his discomfort the In dians had removed his hat and coat and boots that night and he was now a fugitive on the desert without a coat, hat or shoes. Old Egan had arranged his plans, and history itself records the fact that this old chief always laid them well. Couriers had already been sent to other allies of his tribe, while scouts were put on Dan Follett's trail to see that he went to the Stone House. These scouts had followed him, climbing among the rimrocks by day and observing him as he picked his way across the plain, and then fol lowed by night. They had seen him visit the trapper's abode, and had fol lowed him on until he entered the Stone House. In the meantime Ola Egan had mustered his men and, two hundred strong, had started for the Stone House, while he expected as many more allies to Join him there sooner or later. There were maraud ers among the Modocs and Klamaths that he could count on, and he had sent for these also. The destruction of the power of the Lord of The Desert had long been contemplated and the time had now come. Egan was not slow to look after his own Interests. To arrive first upon the scene and select a few of the choicest of the "White Grizzly's" cat-1 tie and horses and make way with them before the arrival of his allies I wag his purpose, and then besiege the whites until his allies arrived and then crush the enemy and divide the remaining spoils. And he was not slow In action. Dan Follett reached the Stone House just after dark one night and the fol lowing morning found Old Egan's warriors around the entire premises at a safe distance from the loop-holes of the outer walls, while a detachment of his men had driven away select bands of horses ad cattle. The first cowboy to go without the enclosure that morning received an ! unmistakable warning in the form of a feathered arrow which was battered i against the wall near his head. Then he saw the war bonnets ot the Flute j protruding above the rocks and boul-i ders in every direction and rushed back Into the enclosure, followed by j a shower of arrows, and gave the j alarm. There were about EO of the Inmates all told and all owned revolvers, but there were not more than half that number of rifles. They were well prepared for defense against an or dinary Indian attack, but It was not thought safe to go Into the open against the odds that appeared be fore them In ambush. They mad a j sally Just before night, but" In the 'open the.. .Indians had an advantage ! from behind the rocks and fences and I the cowboys returned with some loss In wounded. I It was then that the Lord of The n.ori aoMAbA tn send" for relief. General Crook had recently arrived at old Fort Warner and. expecting that the Indians would guard the trail toward this point, Martin Lyle knew but one man that he could trust to reach the Fort, and that was Wil liam Hammersley. He called for a volunteer to carry a message to the trapper and Metzker, anxious to re turn to the trapper's abode was quick to volunteer and was more quickly selected to carry the mis sive. He had slipped through the enemy's lines without mishap and made his way to the trapper's quar ters bringing the trapper a request from the Lord of The Desert to go to the government fort for aid at once and promising him a liberal reward for his trouble. (To be Con tinned.) POLICEMAN'S LESSON. One Tell How Reckless ITe Was wit& Uia Weapons at First. "Experience Is certainly a good teach er," observed a member of the Wash ington police force while discussing the order of MaJ. Sylvester concern ing the establishment of a school of Instruction. "Some Instruction to new appointees," he added, "Is absolutely necessary, and with the proper start experience will do the rest "I remember my first tour of duty, which was many years ago, and I also remember that It not only came near being my last, but came near result ing disastrously for me. Having been sworn In and sent out to do police duty without being Instructed as to my rights, I started over the beat to which I was assigned armed with all the dangerous weapons usually carried by policemen. "These weapons were not Intended for mere playthings I thought and that I had a right to use them under any and all circumstances I did not doubt Should I want to make an arrest for any violation of the law and was un able to overtake the offender I was satisfied that I bad the right -to atop him with a bullet "During the evening," the policeman continued, according to the Washing ton Star, "I came across a party of crap shooters on the commons, and that I thought was an opportunity to distinguish myself. Being unable to overtake those who had participated In the game I proceeded to send bullets toward them, and only gave up my efforts when I had emptied my pistol. So far as I was concerned the affair was fun for me, but I nearly dropped dead when a friend Informed me that I might have been given a penitentiary sentence bad one of the bullets from my pistol taken effect "During the succeeding twenty years or more I did not find It necessary to discharge my revolver. Experience proved a good teacher for me, although proper Instruction at the time of my appointment would have avoided the Dosslbllltr of my being sent to prison." SUCCEEDS HIS FATHER AS SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR. Prince Said AH, who visited London as Zanzibar's representative to the coro nation, has been proclaimed sultan, to succeed his father, who died recently. The new sultan Is not jet 20. He was accompanied to Loudon by Gen, Kalkes, the English officer who Is In command of the army and police In Zanzibar. The crowded London streets and the rush of life there according to cable dispatches, dazed the prince, and he was exceedingly anxious to get back to his own country. The picture Is from a photograph taken in London. AN UP-COUNTRY SOLOMON. He Rendered a Very Wise and Equit able Decision. In a small town In one of the central counties of New York State lives an old German, who, because of the high esteem In which he Is held In the com munity, was elected Justice of the peace. The old gentleman was once called upon, says the New York Times, to decide a most perplexing question. One of his fellow citizens owned a dog which, although not very vicious, had a bad hnb.. of barking at passers by. A neighbor vowed vengeance. His chance came when he was returning from a shooting trip, gun In band. The dog ran out and barked savagely at him, and be fired at the animal. As his aim was bad, the dog escaped, yelp ing, with nothing more serious than a wounded tall. The owner of the dog bad bis neigh bor brought before the old Justice on a charge of cruelty to animals, and the court-room was crowded with the par tisans of both men. The Justice heard the charge, and then the defense that the dog was a dangerous animal and a menace to the neighborhood. The old German cleared hU throat and deliver ed the dictum: "Der man he has been guilty of cru elty to animals." And one side of the court-room applauded the Justice of the decision. "But der tog he vaa a Tlcloua tog." And the other tide Toieed Its approval. "I Till fine der man fire tollers. 1 An other murmur In the court room.

He had a powerful constitution. He was unusually temperate In his habits; he was abstemious In regard to food and drink; slept eight or nine hours every night, and was in the bnbit of taking a noon-day nap. He never worked too hard and took abundant exercise, walking sev eral miles a day. Few men have ever taken better care of themselves or observed the rules of health so carefully as he, and be was seldom ill Mr. Reed was always a frugal man, leaning more to economy than to extrava gance, and not only saved a good part of his salary, but made an extra $4,000 or $5,000 annually by legal and literary work. He would never deliver a lecture or contribute an article for publication without pay, charging $500 for a lecture; $200 was his lowest price for a literary production, no matter how short Mr. Reed was unique In character, writes William E. Curtis In the Chicago Record-Herald. There was never any one like him In public life and he has no Imitators. He was so original, bis Individuality was so pro nounced, and his traits so peculiar that it would be Impossible to Imitate him. His failure to receive what may be termed a respectable support for the Presidential nomination nt St. Louis embittered bis life and intensified those qualities which caused his unpopularity. He had none of the arts of the politician. He was Imperious and Intolerant, autocratic and uncompro mising, and given to the most cruel satire. Men feared him more than they respected or loved him, although he had many warm friends and devoted admirers and an affectionate disposition toward a few persons of whom he was fond. Reed and McKlnley never got along well together. His Jealoua disposi tion seemed to detect rivalry in the early days of their acquaintance, and when both became candidates for the Presidential nomination, Reed's com ments upon McKlnley were always severe and often unkind. He did not enter the White House but three times while McKlnley wns President once at the beginning of the first Congressional session after the Inauguration, when McKlnley Invited him to a conference over the message, and the Re publican legislative program; again when he was Invited to a state dinner, and a third time when be went voluntarily at the outbreak of the Spanish war to assure McKlnley of his cordial support. Reed's relations with Harrison were similar, and be did not enter the White House during the last three years that Harrison was President be cause the latter refused to recognize him as entitled to equal consideration with the Senators from Maine In the distribution of patronage. Nor was he ever friendly with Mr. Blaine and fell out entirely with him while he was Secretary of State because of an article that appeared in the Norh American Review criticising Reed's parliamentary tactics as Speaker of the House. The article was anonymous, but Mr. Reed could not be convinced that Mr! Blaine did not write It, although the latter positively denied the authorship! Reed was a great admirer of Roosevelt although the lutter did not escape his shafts of satire. There was a secret In Reed's life of which he was very sensitive. When he was a young man he was an earnest worker in religious affairs, an active member of the First Congregational Church of Portland, a teacher in the Sunday school and participated In the prayer meetings and other religious exercises. At that time he was preparing for college and intended to enter the ministry. He entered Bowdoin College in ISoS, and during his first two years accepted money from the ladle s' society of the congregation to pay his board and college expenses. In his Junior year he changed his plans, and decided to study law,' w hereupon the women of the First Congregational Church of Portland who bad sent him the money were disappointed, ac cused him of dupllelty'nnd provoked him Into writing an Intemperate' and foolish letter, which gave such offense that he was declared an apostate and his name was stricken from the rolls of that church. He never Joined an other. He taught school and did copying In a lawyer's office to aid in the payment of his college expenses, and after bis graduation secured an ap pointment as paymaster in the navy, and returned to the pastor of the church, dollar for dollar with interest nil the money that had been con tributed to aid in his education. His wife and daughter were regular at tendants at the Congregational Church In Washington, but he never entered Its doors. This sensitiveness to criticism remained with him throughout his entire life and caused him great unhappiness. He seldom made a set speech, but had no equal In his generation In rough and tumble debate. His stinging retorts, his quick wit keen power of analy sis and merciless force In attack made him feared on the floor, and woe unto the man who attempted to Interrupt or answer blm. It was his moral courage that enabled him to crush filibustering In the House of Representa- I tlves. Those were exciting times. Under the rules of the House, as Interpreted by his predecessors, business could be indefinitely suspended and the prlncl- pie of representative government violated if a sufficient number of members refused to answer to their names when the roll was called to brenk a quorum, That became the favorite way of preventing the majority of the House from enacting laws. The minority was thus enabled to control legislation, which Mr. Reed and every one else realized was wrong, but this trick was resorted to and the House was left without a quorum whenever the minority objected to the passage of a bill. Mr. Heed decided to stop the practice, and whenever I . J .1.- ..... a roll call snoweu ine im. v n iuiuiu, vuuuiw a auuii-ieui uumoer of si- lent members upon the floor to make one. The minority made violent protest against Reed's rulings and on more than ona occasion a personal assault on the Speaker was prevented only by the timely Interference of cool heads from both sides of the House. On these occasions Mr. Reed was always the coolest man In the House, and the familiar Yankee drawl, "The gentleman will be kind enough to take bis aeat," often relieved a tense situation. Reed's rules were sustained and vindicated by the Supreme Court, and all of his successors tn the House of Representatives have followed his ex ample. He was a csar and a tyrant, however. He would not permit the House to consider legislation that he did not approve, and could pass almost any bill he liked, because members who opposed him knew what to expect. No man ever exercised such an arbitrary Influence upon legislation. Colored to Suit. A process has been Invented by which eyes may be colored to suit the taste of their owner.

ESCAPE OF SCOUT BURNHAM, Real Adventure In South Africa that Heads Like Fiction. Burnham, the American scout, who was Lord Robert's chief of scouts, was one of the most Interesting figures in the South African War. Some of bis adventures are as thrilling as the wild est Inventions of the writers, of dime novels, differing only in the important respect that they are true. Frederick Unger, the American war correspond ent relates one of them In his book, "With 'Bobs' and Kruger." Burnham once allowed himself to , be captured and led Into De Wet's camp, hoping to get Information and then escape. He concealed his Identi ty, but was betrayed by another pris oner, a British officer, who. In spite of Burnham's signs, stupidly called him by name. A special guard was Immediately placed over blm, and on the march be was put Into a trek wagon, closely covered except In front An armed driver sat on the seat. guard rode at each side and one be hind. Learning from the conversation of his guards that when they reached the railway be would be sent on to Pretoria by train, he knew he must escape them or never. He kept awake at night and 'watched his chance. It came when the driver got down to give some directions to the native boy leading' the oxen. Burn ham crept up on the seat from which he slipped down to the cart-tongue, and from there he slid quietly to the ground, prostrate under the cart, which passed over hlra. The guards on the sides could not see, but those behind might He lay still, preparing to endure even the tread of a horse and not give a sign. The night was dark. The horses of the following cart stepped carefully over him, and their riders Just happen ed not to look down. The next cart drawn by oxen, was some distance behind, and before it came up Burn ham rolled swiftly to the side of the road, where be lay until the cart pass ed. Then, before another came up, he had time to roll several hundreds yards into the night, and was for the mo ment safe. But now his escape was discovered. The column halted and lights appear ed. Horsemen rode up and down the line, shouting and firing shots. Other horsemen rode over the veld, and sev eral came close to where Burnham was lying. In the darkness be looked so like a lump of grass that be escaped notice. Had his pursuers waited till daylight he would have been taken. After a while the column moved on. and Burnham rose to his feet and struck off southward for Bloemfon teln. He spent two days and nights on the veld, hidden by day on the summits of kopjes, from which he could see Boer scouts, evidently on the lookouMor him. At last he succeeded in reaching Bloemfouteln, after forty- eight hours without food. He had gained Important Information from the careless conversation of his guards, and bad accomplished his purpose. In view of the announced determlina- tion to make feathers "take an extraor dinary part In the coming season's mil linery, "Bird-Lore" (Macmlllan Com pany), the official organ of the Audu bon societies, sounds a rally call and urges a more strenuous warfare against the destroyers of birds.
