NKHUASKA According to London Vanity Knlr, Clement Scott Is about to become an editor, Ho will, It In null, bring out a new weekly society paper In Septem ber. A bull moose came out or the Maine woods recently and took a stio'l through tin: streets of Hingnr. Small boys threw stones at him itn.l hi trotted away. There are 10,928 saloons In the Stnto of Ohio and they pay a tax to tlio Htnte amounting to t.r70,i;r1.02. The totut tax collected from the3u saloons last year was f..fl01.SDI.Ml. The Herlln Geographical society has elected the following named Ameri cans honorary members: Alexnniler Agassi,, General A. W. Oreely, U.S. A., and Morris K. .lessup, president of the American Museum of Natural 11 h tory. Should the supply of asphalt ai Trinidad become exhausted, according to an expert In tho use of this mnterlal, a still greater bed which underlies a vast area of ground near I'ort Du eho.inc, Utah, may bo drawn upon. The ground Is now part of an Indian res ervation. Mr. Hognith has opened up the Die fncan eavo In Crete, where Zeus was nursed by the goat Amaltheo. After blnstlngout the limestone th.it blocked the entrance a eavo w.is found full of offerings, consisting of bronze weap ons, terra cotta statuettes and tho like, all of Myccinonn times. A shaft 150 feet deep led to a lower stalactite cave where offerings were found liner thnv thoso In the cave above. One tribe of Indians have arrived at fhat pitch of civilization that they can make contracts with the United Stato3 government. This Is the Crow ttlbe of Montana, who have completed a system of Irrigation, ralsu vast quan tities of wheat, have a llrst-rate grist mill, and arc building another; for years have sold farm produce of vari ous sorts as well as rattle nnd horses; and now the government gives them a contract to supply tho Cheyenne with Hour. The west for a long time lias con ducted its flnnuclal affairs without calling upon eastern banks for money. Kansas City furnishes a good Idea of the enormous growth of the banks lo cated in the west. The deposits of tha national banks of that city now aggre gate lliO.000,000. an Increase or up wards of $8,000,000 during the past twelve months. In the year 1893 the deposits of Kansas City banks were less than JIO.OOO.OOO. and In lSDi? they did not exceed J20.0C0.030. At Ilalsted, Kan., an Interesting series of experiments In wheat grow ing is being conducted. Last fall nbout lfiO varieties of wheat, selected from all over the world, were heeded, nnd about eighty of these were In good condition during the spring. It Is de sired not only to determine which of these foreign wheats will do well in Kansas nnd similar climates in this country, but an effort will be mado t Improve each variety by Ingrafting and cross fertilization. The hens of China, according to a flermnn scientific Journnl.llnd life more real and earnest than wholly cnjoynble. When not hntehlng out broods of their own kind, tho additional and novel ta6k of hatching fish eggs is thrust up on them. Their owners collect fish spawn, Introduce- It Into empty egg shells, hermetically seal them and place them under tho deceived nnd conscientious hen. In due time tho shells nre removed, nnd the spawn, now warmed Into life, is emptied Into a shallow pool. Hero tho fish which appear aro nursed and guarded till strong enough to be turned into a lako or stream, nnd subsequently add to tho edible resources of tho people. It Is all right ror "tho people," but perhaps the liens find lire a little too strenu ous. It Is curious to note that the earl or Alrlle met his death, not by a stray or chance bullet, but by a shower or lead sent at him through tho reflection or the sun's rays on to his field glass, having practically helingraphed to the enemy's sharpshooter tho position or a Hrltlsh otllcer of some condition. It was said at the time that Sir Georgo i;oncy lost ins lire on the crest of Ma Juha hill In the same wa and that tho bullet which killed hlni drove somo of the glass Into the fatal wound. It is notorious that since the Ilritlah olll vers, whom tho Iloer sharpshooters have special Instructions to pick ofT, have dicssed themselves down as rar as possible to thi appearance of ordi nary soldiers tho enemy have kept their eyes open for men using field glasKes and hnvo nlready secured nu merous victims In this way. What Is the futuro of wounded men After they have been brought to tho hospital? Out of 100 men fifteen die In hospital or on the wny home. Twenty-six are perrnuuently disabled, nnd, after coming home.aro discharged rrom the army. Uut tho other lirty-nlno re cover sooner or later, somo being dis charged almost at once. And, curious ly, thcs3 recovered wounded men form tho best fighting element or tho army, for they learn, by experience, that be In? wounded Is not such a bad thing ns it Is generally supposed.

August L'H, lasting all day, unil broken only ror a short recess ror luncheon, marked the intense interest the iiduiinlstintlon feels in the t'liiuese pioblcin. It was the longest cabinet session or the present administration. The diplomatic and not the military phase or the situation in China was un der consideration and tills accounted for the presence or Acting Secretary Adeo at the meeting. It Is understood that the eabluet has completed prepaiatlons or a plan ror clearing away much of the uncertainty that now exists as to the future lit China ami outlined its views In writ ing. The attitude of Germany was the subject or much olllelal discussion dur ing the day, and considerable new light was thrown upon it. Count von Ituelous note issued July p.'. setting forth Genua ny'h attitude was as fol lows: "Our aim is Hie restoration or secur ity ror persons and property, freedom of notion for German subjects in Chi na, the rescue of the foreigners be leaguered in IVIciii. tho le-ei.tabllsh-ment or security and regular condi tions under a properly organized Chi nese government, and reparation and satisfaction for the outrages com mitted.

The imperial government is imbued with tho conviction that tho main tenance or the agreement among the (lowers Is u primary condition ror the icstoration or peace and oider In China." it is believed Germany has not changed her attitude.

The cablegram itself was of little in terest, relating entirely to n routine matter, and wus not made public. Hut it was important liecau.io of its date, which was August :.".. This date, wrought into tlio body or tho dispatch by ..Mr. Fowler, has established tlio fact that any delay that has, been ex perienced during tho past fortnight in sending and the receiptor communica tions between Washington and IVkln, was beyond Clio Koo, and not on tlio overland line, crossing the neelcof land between Clio Koo and .Shanghai, the cable terminus. This points to the probability that the delays weie ox perienced on the military lino between Taku and l'ekiu. Tills delay is at tributable to tho operations or small marauding parties or boxers operating on the lines or communication or the IVUiu campaign forces.

Sacrifice To Conscience 4'4.'V.V4. - ff4. - V4 - 4 - .V4'4 - 4 - CHAPTI3H 1. "Good nlKht, then! See you tomor row, old chap." "All right. Good night, llognn." The last speaker turned away, and the hansom drove off In a westeily di rection. Paul Knderby, bnrrlster, walked slowly along the embankment toward the Westminster bridge. It was a bright night In May, nnd mtch a night as one seldom sees In that month, falsely, IT poetically, pronounc ed "tho sweet o' the year." It Is the mouth when colds In the bead aro most rire, when fair faces aro blue where they should bo red, and red where they should be white; when poets try hard to get up enthusiasm over "gentle spring," and sneeze in the middle of a poetic aggression. Hut this year she was really doing herself Justice. It was n lovely night soft, warm, and balmy, nnd a silvery moon hung high in the blue heavens. Ab Paul Knderby hnlf-absently turn ed slowly to cross the bridge, ho was struck, prosaic banister as ho was, with tho beauty and silence mound. At 1 o'clock in tho morning the t raf fle of the great city Is over, and only an occasional rattle of hansom wheels broke tho stillness. The liver looked like the river or n dream still and black, with Its rows or red lights gleaming nil along Its banks, and high above all the moon's silvery light. Almost on Its edge, ns It seemed, the mighty pile ot Westminster loomed duskily through tho darkness, more impressive In the spectral indistinct ness or night than in the glare or day light. Knderby stood for a moment looking at It. He knew London well, both by night and day; but somehow he had never been struck by the sublimity which night and darkness brought upon the great world center as now. The words rose to his lips, and half unconsciously he murmured them: "Dear Lord, tho very houses seem asleep, And nil that mighty heart Is lying still!" Almost before his lips had ceased moving he was startled by a sound behind him. In tho strnngo stillness all round It was distinctly percep tible, tho sound of light flying foot steps racing madly over the pavement just behind him. He turned Immediately. Then l:a .saw just turning the embankment cor ner Into the bridge the figure ot n woman, running onward with extra ordinary activity. Knderby paused, hair out or Bhcer surprise, hair out of curiosity. The flguro Hew on till It was close to him. Then, by the light of a lamp almost beside him, he snw her distinctly. She was a young girl, perhaps not more than lirteen or sixteen, and was covered with a tweed cloak, which she held round her shoulders tightly. Her head wns bare, and thick masses of brown hair It seemed brown in tho dim light streamed down her should ers. Her race looked ghastly white In the gaslight, her lips wero parted, nnd her breath came pantlngly, nlmost chokingly, through thorn. Tho fact struck him as a remarkable one, but he had not tlmo to speculate as to whether It was beautiful or tho re verse. She wns past him almost in a flash; but as sho paused she looked at him. The glance gave Enderby a curious sensation, as if somo dying animal had looked pltlngly and appeallngly Into his tace. Then she was past, and he looked arter her flying,flgure. Thero was no policeman on tho bridge nt that moment, nnd ho could sre tho girl Hying on without check. Prail Enderby wns, as hna been said, a practical young man; but that did not prevent him reeling a stranpo In terest nnd curiosity in tho girl. Ho had seen In a minute that there was romethlng or refinement In tits rate or which ho had only cnught u glimpse. Suddonly ho saw tho flguro stumblo, trip nnd tall. He rnn rorward. Eio ho reached it she had risen; but sho stnuirered a littlo and uttered n faint cry. Without mora ndo Enderby went up to her and spoke. "You hnvo hurt yourselr, I see. Ex cubo mo Mr addressing you; but is there nnything I enn do? Could 1 got a cab? You seemed In n hurry?" She had uttered no exclamation as ho spoko to her and glanced round quickly, terror written on every lino or her race. Kor a moment sho did not answer; perhaps she could not; her lips were parted, nnd Pho scorned gnsplng for breath. She had evidently slipped off the curb, nnd that had caused her fall. Enderby guessed that sho had hurt horsclf from tho way in which sho stood, leaning her weight on ono foot, nnd evidently not ablo to uee tho other. As sho mado no reply, ho spoko nualn. "Fleaso let mo help you if I can. May I seo H a cab Is to he got anywhere?" "No, no!" sho nnswored, In n kind or gasp. "I I I can't take a cab; I must walk. I was going to tho hospital." 3JJ H. 3. meUh 4 - 4 - - V4' - .4 - 4 - 4 - - ;. - t'4 - 44 - 4.Ii.l "At this hour?" Enderby nnnwered In a tone or surprise. Then ho re membered he had no right to expie-ts nny. "You nre quite near tho hospi tal; n row seconds will take you there," ho said, pointing to the row of buildings on tho water's edge. "Yes, I must get there." Her voice was quite n refined one, nnd It was rather sweet, though now It seemed hoarse with pain nnd ex haustion. Sho made a step forward, but pave n low moan sho did so, nnd nearly foil iisaln. "I'm afraid you are very much hurt; perhaps your ankle h.-.u been sprained by tho fall?" he said, anxiously look ing around for the welcome slcht of n pollcemnn; but not ono was to be teen. "What can be done? Were you going to the hospital on your own ac count?" "No, no; on my father's. Ho Is voiy, very 111," exclaimed the girl; and there was now a tone of agony in her voice. Once more, as If the words had stung her Into action, she mado an effort to move forward; but ugaln tho attempt wrung from her n little cry ot pain. "Oh, it Is dreadful!" sho ejaculated. "I must have sprained my root. And my rather he will die without help If 1 cannot get It nt once." "Let me help you," said Enderby. n feeling of strong compassion for the childish crcnture taking possesion o' him. "Will you lean on me until you get to the side of the bridge? You can nt least lenn on tho wall thera." He offered his arm, nnd tho girl, nrter a moment's hesitation, took It. Then with evident pain sho dragged herself to Hie stonework, and loaned against It heavily. "Now," said Enderby, "you can tell mo whnt It Is your wish at tho hospi tal? Ono of the house surgeons, I suppose?" "It Is Dr. Lyndon; lie is a friend ot ours, nnd ho wns to bo ready to come any moment we wanted him," said tho girl faintly, and with what scorned to Enderby strange hesitation. "Hut 1 am nfruld we shnll be too late. Ho was taken 111 so suddenly, and thero was no one to come tor the doctor but me!" Another little cry or anguish broke from her. Enderby looked around In perplexed anxiety. What on earth was ho to do? Ho had saddled himself with a tank which Feomed one of tho mest difficult to perform ho had over undertaken. He could easily enough run along to St. Thomns and deliver tho message, but what, meantime, wns to become or the gill? Could ho leave her, helple3s and Incapable or moving to be at tacked, perhaps, by one or those night wolves which creep out or their lairs Into London streets by night. Even ns he stood ror n moment un certain what to do. ho heard the sound or cab wheels coming over the bridge. They approached. Ho turned to seo H by chance It might not be an empty one. No; n man's race, crowned by nn unimpeachable silk hat, looked out over-tho doors of the hnnsom ns it passed. Enderby saw the face distinc tively, and the man in the cab Haw him distinctively; of that he was sure. But tho latter mado no sign or recog nition. Ho drew his head in Instantly, nnd leaned back in the scat, nn un plensant .smile curling tho corners or Ills thin,' hard mouth. "Dalton! What evil chance brought him across the bridge Just now?" En derby muttered to hlmscir. a reeling or annoynnco and rorebodlng or evil com ing over him. Hut he had no tlmo to think over tho matter now; ho turned to the sirl. "I shall, go to St, Thomas ror you. Give me 'your message," he said, quickly. "It Is tho only thing to le clone. I a hall1 try to'get n cab at the snrne time. Toll me your messag." "It Is that David Lloyd Is very 111. and ho rinist como immediately." said tho girl. And ror n moment Endwby saw her eyes, deep and dnrk ns the river beneath them, llxed on his. "Toll him oh, tell him to come quick ly!' "I will, nnd you must not stir from there. If I see a policeman I shull send him to you until I return. " said Enderby. Then, without another word. i turned nwny. feeling as if he wero leaving tho girl thus thrown on his hands to an unknown dancer. Ho hurried along to tho end of the bridge. A solltnry policeman, whose footsteps fell with a dull thud on the quiet pavement, wns coming slowly along, his lantern n moving speck of light, Enderby hurried up to him nnd gave him a brier description of the. girl. "Sho Is an ncqunlntanco or mine, nnd has sprained her root,' ho aili, thinking-there wns no use entering tha particulars with the otllclnl. "Look to her till I return, pollcemnn." Ho slipped n silver piece Into n not unwilling palm. And the oflicinl In blue, touching his hnlmet. answeiod; "Yes. Mr. All right, sir." A few minutes hi ought Enderby to tho entrance of the hospital, no rang fy the night hell. It was presently answered by n sleepy porter, to whom Enderby deliv ered his message. "Lyndon, sir? Doctor Lyndon 7 There ain't n'o doctor 'cro o' that nnine,' ho nnsw'ered shortly. Then, n flash of Intelligence flashing ovor hbc drowsy mind: "Oh, you're meaning Dr. Lyndon as was assistant surgeon to Dr. Uallantyro? W'y, 'o left ub a month ngo. Is that nil you want, sir? 'Cause, If so, there ain't no use your wait In' longer Is thero?" Enderby wns as much puzzled as If he himself had required Doctor Lyn don on n matter of lire and death. He was eo astounded that he had no icply ready, and when tho porter made a movement as H to shut tho great door he made an effort to prevent hlin. lie turned away, wondering for what reason this night adventuro had been thrust upon him. A call wns rumbling slowly towards tho bridge, ho hailed It, nnd with a brief word to the sleepy driver, got In. It wns u hansom. So it was quite easy Tor him to see the dark llgurcs or tho policeman nnd his charge as he ap proached tho spot where he had lolt tho girl. He btopped the driver and got out. The girl wns wntchlng, and sho mado a painful step forward. He could soe her pale face, with Its weird, dark eyes, distinctly in the gaslight. A strange feeling of protection, of pity, or friendship, na If he had known her for n long time, came over him as he saw her. "Tho doctor is ho with you?" sho cried out, eagerly. Euderhy felt his own heart sink llko lead as he had to nnswer. "No, my child. .1 um sorry to tell you that he is gone. He left the hos pital a month ngo." CHAPTEH II. She gave a littlo dcsparlug ry, anO swayed as if she would have fallen. "Gone? Oh, no, no, lie can't ba gone! Oh, father, father!" "My poor child," said Enderby touching her arm gently, "wo must get another doctor to your father. 'I tint is quite easy. Ho turned to tho policeman. "Do you know nny doc tor near here, policeman?" "There's Poi-tor Howarth, sir. 'E's the nearest. I think,' said the man In blue, giving tho address. "You'll bo taking this 'ansom, sir?" "Yes," said Enderby. And address ed tho girl. "Let me help you Into the cab, my child. Wo shall get Doctor Ilownrth and drive on to your home." The girl nllowed him to lift her Into thc enh, mnklng no piotcstations. Sho was llko ono dazed by a torrlblo shock, ghastly pale. Her breath came short. She lay back against tho cushion, anil fast. Enderby slipped another shining piece Into the hand of tho stalwart guardian or the peace, who gavo the driver Doctor Howarth's address, and the cab started. As soon as It wns-, moving tho girl started rorward with a terrified look in her eyes. "Where nro wo going? Oh, I can't let another doctor como I can't! Doc tor Lyndon was the only ono my fa ther would allow. I can't let another doctor see him!" Her evident terror and distress puz zled Enderby. Tho wholo adventuro seemed to htm strnngo and unusual; and he could not help wondering how he. tho prosaic, ordinary London man of the Temple nnd Piccadilly, had got himself Involved In so strnngo nn af fair. There was something mysterious and inexplicnblo about the girl's man ner and Enderby did not know what to do. ,"If you would rather not have this Doctor Howarth to seo your rather. Miss Lloyd, shall I tell tho man t drive you straight home? in that tase I will leave you nt once. You are pare now." (To be continued.) A Vi!nnlite Storm.
