THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE IRA L. DARE, Publisher TERMS $1.25 IN ADVANCE NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA The Easy Chair. Only the Englishman knows the set enco of sitting down. Ho alono lias evolved tlio chair which recovers for its students all tho comfort that lias been lost In tho day, all tho hopo that tho morning may no Inhospitably havo barred, says tho Saturday Re view. Watch, say, a Frenchman In an English easy chair and you will find him no worthy upprcntlco of tho science Ho Is III at ease and out of sympathy with tho chair. But the Englishman has no such quarrel with comfort. Ho does not, ns tho French' man, sit at attention. Thore needs not, In fact, ho nny doubt that Eng land's position an optimist among tho nations Is due largely to tho appro elation of tho easy chair. Had Scbo penhnuor lived in England nnd been instructed In the art of sitting down ho would havo wrltton dainty testimo nials of the charm of human naturo. I'opo had no optimism, and it in not surprising that ho complained of tho "rack of a too easy chair," for only an optimist can bo comfortablo. Wlilstlor refused to havo an cosy chair in his house, nnd qulto inev itably wroto a book on tho art of mak ing enemies. Carlylo lived among tho hard angles of uncomfortable fur nituro and wroto irritably. A man's literary tasto, it may ns well bo said, Is not formed so much by his educa tion or his onrly llfo, or Ills friends, ns by his chnirs. A man without nu easy chair would develop an austoro tasto. Ho would read Iiacon, Humo, Macnulay. A man with an uncom fortable easy chair would read Hazlltt, Cnrlylc, Schopenhauer, Nletzscho, Ib sen. A man with n chair which ho had molded to nil tho whims of his body would road Dickens, Lamb, Shakcspoaro, Morcdith, Flaubort, Ten nyson. No ono, fortunntoly, has a finer Instinct for comfort than tho Englishman, and so long ns this Is so thoro should bo no dnngcr of tho de cllno ot good books and poetry and optimism. Only tho man who has an easy chair can rend tho right books. Royal Parents Getting Wise. Over-education nnd sovoro training havo boon tho bnno of youths born to bocomo sovereigns, for tho reaction baa ovor led thorn into excesses which proved thoir ruin. Had Crown Prlnco Rudolph of Austrin, for instnnco, re ceived propor euro, as a boy, ho could not havo gono to tho dovll ns ha did, nnd would not havo died an ignoblo death. Tho mlstako is admlttod now when too lato, for tho prosent gen oration of royal famllcs, but thoro is a promlso that common sonsa will bo used In tho bringing up of tho noxt, for oven tho vonerablo Emperor Franz Josof is Bald to rcallzo tho dan goru of tho older methods, and what 11 hard tlmo his only son had with his tutors and masters.

Tho crown prlnco ot Austria's fato was not In vain, says tho IJoston Hornld, if it has taught royal parents tho wisdom of tho nower oducation; Hint while drilling and crnmmlng tho poor llttlo bodies nnd brnlns, thoir moral and human qunlitloB must ho cultivated in tho affectionate at mosphoro ot homo. It is said tho chll dron of tho young king nnd quoon of Spnln will bo brought up according to tho now Idoas, and some trndltlons ot SpanlBh education are to bo rudely uhnttored for tho good of a futuro monarch's constitution and his mental dovolopmont.

CHAPTCfl XX. Continued. "It's much bettor of you to wish mo to como," I said with nil my heart, taking hor hand. "Como on Saturday," sho Bald nt last. "I'm at your service at any tlmo," 1 murmured, "Don't," sho said. "That's conven tional. If you aro to bo conventional you'ro not to como." And sho laughed nervously. I looked Into hor eyes, nnd then on Impulse stooped and kissed tho hand I still held. "It was what I meant," I said. Sho Bnntchcd hor hand away, and as bIio did so I saw in tho dim light Hint hid tho further end ot tho hull tho llguro of tho Wolf, massive, dark, threatening, nnd my mind supplied it with nil tho llrcs of passion nnd hato with which I had twlco scon tbu face inllamcd. Luolla's oyes grow largo with won dor and alarm as alio caught on my fnco tho rollcctlon of tho Wolf's com Ing. Hut ns sho turned to look, the ilguro faded away without Bound, nnd thoro was only Mrs. Knapp appearing in tho doorway; and hor alarm turned to amusement. "Oh, I was ufrald you had gono," said Mrs, Knapp. Would you mind, Iiiiolln, looking nfter tho guests a minute?" Luclln bowed mo it good night nnd was gono. "Oh, Henry," said Mrs. Knapp, "I wnutcd to ask you about Mr. Knapp Ib your ntd absolutely essontlal to his succoss?" "I presume not, though it would probably embarrass htm somewhat If I should tuku ship for China beforo morning." As I held lu tho hank securities worth nearly $3,000,000, 1 bollovod that I spoko within bounds. "I BUpposo it would do no good to try to dissuado him from his plans?" "it would tuko n bolder man than I," said I, with a smllo at tho audacity of tho idea. Mrs, Knapp smiled sadly in re sponso. "Do you think, Henry," sho nskod hosltatlngly, "do you think thut Mr. Knnpp is qulto himself?" My mind leaped nt tho recollection ot tho Wolf llguro In tho opium dons Rut I chokod down tho thought, and replied calmly: "Ho cortnlnly has a vigorous bust ness bond on IiIb shouldors." "I wish you could toll mo about his business affairs," said Mrs. Knapp wistfully. "Hut I know you won't "You wouldn't think much of mo If I did," I said boldly. "It would bo right to toll mo," she said. "Hut 1 mustn't keep you stand ing horo. Qood night." I walked down tho stops and Juliiod my waiting guards with a budget of now thought nnd foollngB to oxninluo Tho throo days that followed Dodd- rldgo Knnpp fought for tho control of Omega, and tho Decker syndlcato fought us stubbornly for the sauio end I was forced to udmlro tho fertility of rosourco displayed by tho King of tho Street. Ho was carrying on tho light with the smaller cuplUL yet bj Ms attack nnd defonso ho employed his resources to better rosult. Tho weak ness of tho syndlcato lay In its bur den of Conlldenco nnd Crown Din mond. Doddridge Knnpp had sold out his holdings of both at a handsotno profit, but, so far from ceasing his sales of theso stocks, as I had ex pected, ho had only begun. Ho sud denly developed Into a most pro nounced "benr," and sold both stocks for futuro delivery lu great blocks. Ho was cautious with Conlldenco, but his assaults on Crown Diamond were ruthless. Decker and his brokers stood gallantly to tho defense of their threat ened properties and bought heavily. Yot in splto of their offortn to buy everything that was offorcd Crown Diamond "futures" fell to 40, 30, 25, und even 20, closing at tho afternoon session nt 20. Rut tho King of tho Street wns less successful In IiIb manipulations of Omega. Tho speculating public, as well as Decker and Company wore roachlng out for tho stock, nnd it was forced up 10 und 20 points at a time, closing on Saturday afternoon nt 325. "This is morry war." gasped Wall, bridge, at tho closo of the last session. "I wouldn't havo missed this for five yoara of my life. Doddrldgo Knapp is tho boy for making tho market hum when he takos tho notion. Ry George, wo'vo had n panic this week! .And last Monday I thought everything was dead, too!" "Doddrldgo Knapp!" I exclaimed. "Is ho In this deal, too?" Wallbridgo lookca at mo In n little confusion, and mopped his head with y.'sv.-.ii.iu.. I WW "Com: CW ATUJZDA " comical abandon. Then ho winked a most diabolical wink, and chuckled. "Of course, a secret'u a Bi;crot; but when tho whole street's talking about It, you can't exactly call It n close corporation secret," ho explained apologoticnlly. 1 Joined Doddrldgo Knapp ut tho ollleo and confided to him the fact that tho cat was out of tho bag. Tho King of tho Street looked a little amused ut the nunounccment. "Good Lord, Wilton! Whcro aro your oars?" ho said. "Tho streot had tho whole Btory on Friday. Decker was suro of It on Wednesday. Rut I kept under cover long enough to get a good start and that was as much as I expected." "How do wo Btand now?" I asked. I know that our purchases had not been progressing very well. "There's COO shares to get," Bald tho King of tho Streot thoughtfully; "53G, to bo accurate." "That's not a very promising out look," I suggested, remembering that wo had secured only -100 shnros In tho whole day's Btrugglo. "Well, there'll bo an earthquako In tho street It wo don't got thorn, nnd tnaybo there'll bo ono It wo do. Deckor is likely to dump all his shares on tho markot tho lnlnuto wo win, and it will be the devil's own Job to keep tho bottom from falling out If ho does." Tho King of tho Street then gnvo some brief directions. "Now," ho continued, "you aro to bo ut tho Kxchauge without fall ou Mon day morning. I'll be thero to give you your orders. Don't bo ono minute behind hand, or thero may be Tophot to pay." And he emphasized his words with nn Impressive growl that showed tho Wolf'B fangs. ' I'll bo on hand," I replied. "Well, then go," he growled; "and see Hint you come with a clear head on Monday. Keop your thirst until after the game is over." A few hours later I was at the house of the Wolf, but I forgot to ask for Doddrldgo Knapp. Luella received me with apparent indifference that contrasted sharply with her parting, und I waB piqued. Mrs. Knapp was gracious, nnd sailed between ub be foro I had received a dozen words. "Whoro nro your spirits to-night?" sho asked raillngly. "Hnvo you left them In lower Pino street?" "I havo a heart for any fate," I re turned lightly. "Am I too grave for tho occasion?" "You'ro always under orders to be cheerful," Luella broke in, "or at least to explain the reason why." "He can't explain," retorted hor mother. "Mr. Knapp won't let him." Rut presently wo found a subject in which Luolla roused her in'crost, and her bright mind and ready wit drovo away tho fancy that had first assailed me. Then sonio caller claimed tho attention of Mrs. Knapp, and 1 was content to monopolizo Luolla's conversation for the evening, At last I was constrained to go. Mrs. Knnpp was still busied In conversation with her visitor, and Luella followed me onco moro Into the hall. "Can't you tell me won't you tell me?" she said in a low tone that was tho complement of tho silent speech of the eyes. "I wish I could," I whispered. "I know It must bo right -it Is right," sho snld In tho samo tone. "Rut I wish that I might know. Will you not toll mo?" "I will tell you some day," I said brokenly. "Now it is another's, and I cannot. Rut It shall all bo yours." "All?" "Everything." In nnothcr moment I know not what I should hnvo done, so stlrrod nnd tempted wiih I by hor tone and look Rut in an instant her manner changed S2T SAJX JiT -LAST. nnd she exclaimed In n mocking voice "Now 1 havo your promise, so I'll let you go. You'd bottor not linger, or mama will cortalnly have somo business to talk over with you." And beforo I could touch her hnnd Bho was gone, and her laughing "good night echoed down tho hall. I was puzzled by theso changes of mood, and decided thnt Luella was a most unnccountnble young woman Yet under the subtlo influence that sho cast upon mo I felt tho bonds o duty relnxed and slipping away. had now to confess to myself that loved Luella Knapp. And sho? And trying to untanglo tho Bkoln, I was a good deal startled to feel a touch on my arm ns I reached tho sldowalk. "Oh, It's you, I'orter, Is It?" I ox claimed, on recognizing my rotainer "Is Rarkhouso hero?" "Yes, sir. An' hero's Wilson with a mossago for you." "A mossago for me! From whom? Wilson took mo aBldo and thrust an envolopo Into my hand. "That como to your room about o clock, I reckon," ho said. "Least ways, that's tho first wo saw of it An' Mother Rorton was thero, an sho says she must boo you to-night, suro Sho wouldn't stay, but says you was to como uown inoro uororo you goes to bed, suro, If you wants to keep out of trouble." I lookod at tho onvelopo, and In the tuckering light from tho streot lamp l could miiko out tho address to Henry Wilton. Dj tho handwriting and by tho Indefinable scout that eosc from tho paper I know It for a mossago from the Unknown who held for mo tho secrets of life nnd death. CHAPTER XXI. At the Bidding of the Unknown. l'ho windows of Rorton's shono cheerfully, although it was past mid night. At our cautious approach a signal was given and with tho an swering word a man appeared from tho obscurity. "All safe?" I inquired. "It's all right," said Rarkhouso. "There's a dozen men in tho barroom, and I'm not suro thero ain't some of tho hounds amongst them. Rut you'ro to go in the side door, and right up stairs." "Two of you may keep at tho foot f tho stairs, Just lnsldo tho door," I said. "You may stand watch outside, Rarkhoti8e." Thero was sound of rude song, and tho clink of glaBS and bottle in tho ir nnd dining room ns I passed through tho sldo hall. Rut tho door was closed, nnd I saw nothing ot tho lato revelers. In the upper hnllway Homer uorion stoou oy nu open uoor. silhouetted dark nnd threatening ngnlnst tho dim lllckerlngs that camo from tho candlo In tho room behind her. I had but opened my mouth to give hor word of greeting when she raised a warning claw, and then neizlng me drow mo swiftly into tho room nnd closed nnd locked tho door. "How nlr ye, dearie?" sho said, sur veying mo with somo apparent pride. 'You'ro safo and whole, ain't yo?" "I am safo," I Bald, "though I had a closo shavo In Chinatown." "I licerd of It," said Mothor Rorton sourly. "I reckon it ain't much good to sit up nights to toll you how to take keor of yourself. It's a wonder you over growed up. Your mammy must a' been mighty kecrful about hcrdln' yo under cover whonovcr It rnlned." "I was n llttlo to blame," I admitted, 'but your warning was not thrown away. I thought I was well-guarded. Mother Rorton sniffed contemptu ously. I s'poso you como down here alone?" No." And I explained tho disposi tion of my forces. "That's not so bad," sho said. "They could git up hero soon enough, I reck on, If thero was a row. Rut I guess you didn't think I sent for yo Jest to tell yo you was a fool in Chinatown." 1 admitted that I should have ex pected to wait till morning for such a piece of information. "Well," said Mother Rorton, "that ain't It. Something's up." "And what might It bo?" I inquired. "Tho moon?" Mothor Rorton did not tnko this flippancy kindly. Her faco grow dark er and moro evil as It was framed In tho dancing shadows behind her. 'You can git a knlfo in yo as easy ns winking If I'll Jest keep my mouth shut," sho cried spitefully. "Yes," said I repentantly, putting my lianu upon her arm. "Rut you aro my very good friend, and will tell mo what I ought to know." Tho creature's faco lighted at my tono nnd action, and her eyes melted with a new feeling. "That I will," sho said; "that I will, as If you wero my own boy." Sho seized my hand and held It as she apoko and looked Intently on my faco. "I was a-listening to 'em," sho con tinned In a low, earnest tone, glancing around fearfully as if sho had tho thought that somo ono elso might bo listening in turn. "I was a-llstonlng, an' I heerd what they says." "Who said?" I Inquired. "Tho ones you knows on," she re turned mysteriously. "What ones?" I persisted, though I supposed sho meant to Indicate somo ot my energetic enemies. Mothor Rorton paid no attention to my question, nnd continued: "I knowed thoy was a-talking about you, an' thoy says they would cut your liver out If they found yo thoro." "And whoro Is thero?" I asked with growing interest. "That's what I was listening to find out," said Mothor Rorton. "I couldn't hoar much of what they says, hut 1 hears enough to git nn Idea." Sho bent forward and hissed rather than whispered: "Thoy'vo found out where tho boy is!" "Aro you certain?" I asked In stub den alarm. "Pretty suro," sho said, "pretty suro. Now you won't go near tho place, will yo, doarlo?" sho continued anxiously. "You forget that I haven't the first idea where tho boy Is hidden," I re turned. "Oh, Lord, yes! I reckon my mind's going," gruntod Mothor Rorton. "Rut I'm nfcanl of thoir knives for ye." "I wish I could glvo warning," said i, much disturbed by tho Information "Tho protector of tho boy ought to know about this. I'm afraid I havo dono wrong." Mother Rorton looked at mo fixedly "Don't you worry, my donr. She'll know about It all right." Again tho feeling stolo over rao that this woman know moro than sho told Rut. I know that It was useless to question her directly. "I suspect that she knows already. 1 got a noto to night," said I, drawing from my pocket tho envelopo I had ro celved from tho Unknown. Mother Rorton solzcd it. looked for a moment at tho linn, dollcato hand of tho address and drew out tho sheot that It inclosed. "Read It, dearie," sho said, handing It back after a scrutiny. "I can't tell anything but big print." I suspected that Mothor Rorton wa3 trying to docolvo me, but I repeated Hi u words o: the note: (TO UE CONTINUED',) TEN YEARS OF DACKACHE.
