The Telegraph Girl XXX A ROMANCE OF THE CHEROKEE STRIP. XXX By Captain Jack Crawford ( Continued. ) She was going away , that was a blessed consolation ; going to a busy office } where she would have no time to wire chats. I could endure her for a few hours ; and although I would have resented from any one the Impu tation that I was a llur , 1 assured her I would be delighted to have her come , and would endeavor to make her brief visit a pleasant one. "When the freight from the south whistled that afternoon , I had nerved myself for a few hours of torture. The caboose stopped away down in the yard , and as I stood on the platform re flecting on what a martyr I was going to make of myself , I saw the conductor assist my visitor to the ground , and start with her along the side of the train towards the depot. A call from the Instrument drew mo inside , and when I came out again they were near the platform. I stood and stared in blank amazement. A neat , stylish lit tle figure clad In grey , a jaunty hat , from beneath which the prettiest im aginable brown curls fell in clustering beauty above the prettiest face I thought I had ever seen. She was laughing merrily at some remark from her escort , and the air seemed filled with rippling music. As he ascsnded the platform steps to where I stood transfixed and dumb with amazement , she gave me but one glance of her merry blue eyes , and was about to pass on into the office when the conductor said : "A moment , Miss Rankin. Let me introduce Mr. Saunders. the agent here. Fred , this Is Miss Carrie Rankin , late of Edmond. " She started at me with a look of unutterable surprise , and had a mirror been thrust in front of me , I would no doubt have goen reflected an expres sion of equal amazement. For a mo ment she stood glancing first at my self and then at the conductor , and then a peal of merry laughter rang out from her pouting lips , ana extending her hand she said : "Oh , that monstrous fibber , Tom Armstrong ! If I ever get within reach of him again I'll pull every hair out of his head ! Why , he told me you were an old man , Mr. Saunders , and and that you were humpbacked , and had lost one of your limbs in a railway ac cident some years ago. He pictured you such a fright that I hesitated long before deciding to come here. I was actually afraid of you ! " "I'll kill him on sight ! " I cried , re taining the pretty hand which rested in mine. "He led me to believe you an aged widow with two children , and a face that would set niy teeth on edge when you should present it before- me , and that you had a temper which a buzz saw could not scratch. How ever , in the glad awakening from that hideous dream I almost feel that I can forgive him , and as the frightful old widow no longer confronts me , permit me to bid you a hearty welcome to your old home. I trust you may en joy the few hours you are to remain hare. You have the freedom of the office ; and of the great city. " "Thank you. It is very good of you , and since my humpbacked ogre has limped away on his one leg , I will en ter his den with no fear. How drear ily natural the old place looks" ( taking off her hat and throwing it on the ta ble ) . "How many lonely dajs and nights I spent here , fearing each rattle of the window by the wind might be a tramp or a prowling Indian , and ev ery sound from the outside at night might come from the dreaded Dalton gang , lying in wait to rob a train. May I look in my old room ? " "Certainly. " "Same cheerless place. Yes , more cheerless , for really , Mr. Saunders , you do not keep it so neat as I did. When did you sweep it last ? " She glanced into my face wRh an arch look and smilingly awaited my reply. \ "I think it was one day last week , or was It week before ? It was the day the superintendent came over the road on a special. The sprucing up of de pots by agents male agents , tkat is is always regulated by official visits , you know. " We passed en into the freight-room , such only In name , for no goods save section men's supplies had ever been stored therein. From the freight-room a ladder led up to the loft between the eeilings of the office and sleeping room and the roof , and , pointing up at the dust-covered rafters , my fair visitor said : "I had a dreadful time up there one day. The insulated copper wires from the instruments run up through the of fice ceiling , you know , and connect with the line out under the eavea of the depot. I cut out my instruments for a heavy thunderstorm , and when I cut It again after the storm had pass ed , I found the wire open on both sides of me. Fearing the trouble was in my office I began a close search for it , and , finding the wires below all right , I climbed up the ladder to the loft. Up in that dark , black , dusty , sooty place I found both wires burned off by light ning ; and what a time I had repairing them ! It was very hot and close up there , and I had left my handkerchief on the telegraph table , and frequently wiped ray perspiring face with my smutty hands. When I clinbed down again you should have seen me ! I had that morning put on a white summer dress mamma had just sent down to me , and it was ruined , and my face was as black as any Topsy you ever saw. What made it more horrible was that the passenger going south whistled just as I descended from the loft , and not knowing my face was In such a horrid condition , I gathered up my train mall and went out on the platform , and such a guying as the train men gave me ! There was a grin ning face at every car window as the train pulled by. Oh , dear ! what a fright I found myself when I looked In my mirror ! " As wo sat in the office during the evening chatting she grew more and more vivacious and jolly , and our mer ry laughter rang out In marked con trast to the usual stillness which pre vailed about the dreary station. We went to supper at the section house , and on returning she went at once to the key and asked the dispatcher if the train then nearly due was on time. "No. 4 delayed by wash-out below Guthrie , " cane the reply. "Can't say how soon track will be repaired. " "Oh , dear ! My usual luck ! " she said. "I seldom find a train on time when I want to go anywhere ! " "Are you then so anxious to termin ate what has been to me a most de lightful visit ? " I asked. "Oh , no. I assure you I have en- 'joyod it fully as much as yourself , but I fear I will become tiresome to you with my senseless chatter. " I felt like assuring her that a life time spent in tier society would not weary me. The time sped swiftly un til the grey shades of evening began to gather , and I lighted the office lamp. No. 4 was reported safely over the track , and would reach Red Reck about 9 o'clock. Excusing herself a moment to go to the cooler in the freight-room for a drink of ice water , Miss Rankin passed from the room , and had scarcely disap peared ere I heard heavy footsteps on the platrorm , and a moment later the front door was thrown open and four masked men entered and covered me with murderous-looking revolvers. "Git away from that table , young feller , an' don't you make a move fords that tellygraph till the train comes , or it'll find a piece o' baggage 'yar it ain't looking fur. How soon is she due ? " I am not naturally a coward , but this harsh transformation from a blissful dream of love to the very precincts of death unnerved me , and confess I was tnoroushly frightened. Then came the thought that Miss Rankin would return in a moment , and what indig nities might not be offered her by these members of the notorious Dalton gang ( for such I knew them to be ) ; cruel , reckless men who had less regard for women than for dumb brutes which carried them to places of safety after their lawless raids. "The train is past due now , but has been delayed by a washout below Guth rie , and may not be here for several hours yet , " I replied. 'Til ask about her. " I made a move toward the telegraph table , hoping by a word to warn the dispatcher , but halted at the ominous clicking of a pistol. "No , you don't , " the leader said. "If you want that pale hide o' your'n tat tooed with cold lead , you jest make another break like that ! Yer lyin' about that train , an" we're agoin' to camp right 'yar with you till it comes , fur we have business with it. Sit down on that bench. " I could but obey. The mental tor ture I endured was terrible , not only through fear of Miss Rankin's return to the office , but through the knowl edge that an attempt was to be mads to rob the train , and the lives of good men might be sacrificed defending the property entrusted to their care. How could the robbers be frustrated ? If I could but reach the key and flash the words , "Train robbers , " and sign my office call , the dispatcher would hear and understand ; for in those troublous days the keen-eared night guardians of the company's interests were ever on the alert for such intelligence. For half an hour I weighed the matter of a desperate attempt in my mind. I had lost fear of my charming visitor's safe ty , feeling satisfied by her absence that she had heard the robbers and was con cealed in the freight room , or had es caped by the back door and gone to the section house for aid. But what as sistance could come from there ? I knew there was not a firearm in the section house , and the section men would seek safety in flight at the first intimation that I was in the hands of the Daltons. It at last determined to make one des perate attempt to warn the train-dis patcher , and thus save the train from robbery. I did not believe the villains would shoot , and felt that although they might use me roughly for my at tempt , my duty to the company de manded that I should make it and meet the consequences. Waiting until I heard the dispatcher respond to a report of the belated train from Mulhall , but two stations below , and knowing that he was at his table , I rose and bounded toward my instru ment. " " "Trai I got no further. There was a loud report , I felt a heavy blow accompanied by a stinging sensation on my right thigh , and sank to the floor. "You cussed fool , that's yer game , is it ? Lucky fur you my gun went off afore I got it raised , or that shod'd a tuk you whar' it'd a done more good ! " They picked me up and threw me roughly on the bench , cursing me in a fearful manner for my attempt to thwart them in their plans. I knew I had been shot through the thigh , but from tno absence of severe pain felt sure the bone had not" been broken. The train muat bo nearlng Wharton , the next ntatlon south , and after pass ing there no earthly power could pre vent It from falling into the hands of the scowling villains who sat near me. The instrument had been quiet for a long time , and I laid trembling with anxiety expecting every moment to hear Wharton report the passing of No. 4. "Click ! Click ! E-r-r-r-r click ! " What caused the instrument to act so queerly ? Then , in clear clicklngs I heard the dispatcher's call. Wharton was about to report the train but , no ! My own office signal was signed to the call. What did It mean ? The dispatch er responded , and my heart gave a great throb of delight as I heard these words flashed over the wire : "This is Cr at Red Rock. Sd held by train robbers in office. I have wire tapped in loft. Stop No. 4 , Wharton , quick ! " "I heard that , will hold 4 here all right , " Wharton broke in and said. An order was sent him to hold the train for further orders , and an ex planatory message sent to the conduc tor. tor.Thank Thank God , the train was safe ! I un derstood it all now. The brave little girl had heard the robbers when they entered , had listened to our conversa tion , and recalling her former experi ence In the dirty loft , had climbed up there in the darkness , broken one of the wires and , striking the ends to gether , had been able to communicate with the dispatcher. In the stillness of the night I knew she could hear every click of the instrument below , and work as effectively as if sitting at the telegraph table. "God bless you , little girl , you have done great work this night. Special train with sheriff's posse will leave in five minutes , and make run to Red Rock in forty-five minutes. Remain where you will be safe in case of a fight with robbers. " "Oh ! I am so fearful Sd has been killed , " I heard her say. "I heard them threaten to kill him and heard a shot , followed by a shuffling of feet. " In a tone of voice so loud I knew she could hear it , I said : "Men , I have been shot in the thigh and am in pain. This bench is a hard bed for a v/ounded man. Won't you carry me in and lay me on my bed in the next room ? " "W'at do we keer how you suffer af ter that bad break o' yours ? Lay still , or you'll get more of it ! " I heard the little heroine report the words to the dispatcher , and felt that my object had been accomplished and her anxiety relieved. In a moment came a message intended for my ears : "Brace up , Fred , for help Is coming. We've got the best of this game , but I am distressed at your condition , old fellow. Grin and bear it. I will be with you the minute the train gets here. Cr. " ( To be continued. ) ORCHIDS THATR1VALTHE UPAS Brazilian Forest That Js Guarded by a Yell of Chloroform. From Collier's Weekly : Serge Bal- aguine , a Russian explorer of Brazil , states in an interview recently pub lished in the Gaulols of Paris , that a few degrees bslow the equator he dis covered a forest of flowers that pre vented him from approaching them. With every deference to Mr. Bala- guine , that forest seems to have been discovered before. Two years ago there appeared in a San Francisco paper an account provided by a- bulb hunter returning from the same re gion , who declared that after noticj ing in a forest an odor , vague and sweet at first , but which increased as he advanced , ultimately he reached a clearing , and there , straight ahead , was a wilderness of orchids. Trees were loaded v/ith them , underbrush was covered with them , they trailed on the ground , mounted in beckoning contortions , dangled from bunches , fell in sheets and elongated and ex panded as far as the eye could reach , A breeze passed and they swayed with it , moving with a life of their own , dancing in the glare of the quatorial sun , and as they danced exhaling an odor that protected them more sheerly than a wall. In vain did that hunter endeavor to approach. There was a veil of perfumed chloroform through which he could see , but through which , try as he might , he could not pass. It held him back more effect ually than bayonets , and it was tor ture to him to see those flowers * and to feel that before he could reach them he must die , suffocated by the very splendors of which he was in search , poisoned by floral jewels such as no one perhaps had seen before. At the time the place was known a ? the village of demon flowers. Feint for Inventors. It has long been recognized by expert telegraph operators that urgent neces sity exists for improving the present sending apparatus. This point was for cibly illustrated at a late telegraph tournament in New York. At the first tick of the signal to start in a send ing contest a reader started to indicate to the typewriter. In four minutes and 30 seconds he had written the entire article , which contained 413 words. In five minutes , the time. , ap- Tjointed for the test , the telegrapher who took the prize only transmitted 254 words , and that this was considered the more remarkable performance's a concession of the imperfect nature of telegraph sending methods. The telegraph sender of to-day is confined to the use of one hand , and has to make many strokes to form one com plete letter , while the typewriter has the free use of eight fingers , each one of which with a single stroke makes a complete character or letter. Terms to Be Arranged by Spanish and American Representatives , SPAIN'S ARMY MUST GO HOME , Pending Settlement the Enemy's Troops Must I-euvo I'orto KIco und Cuba To Hold Manila us a War In demnity Until Final I'caco Treaty Is Signed Ixi- drone Coaling 1'ort. WASHINGTON , Aug. 1. The Cabinet and President have decided that a Spanish-American commission is to have charge of the entire question of the terms of peace , on condition , how ever , that the Spanish troops arc re moved immediately from Cuba and Porto Rico and that the United States shall have one of the Ludrone islands. The President has decided that the statement intended to be made public , as to reply to Spain , shall not be given out. lie reached this determination upon representation that such a course would be a violation of the proprieties of diplomacy , which require that such a note shall not be published before it is known to have reached the nation addressed , and that even then reason able time must be allowed for an an swer. The American reply distinctly gives warning that the proposition as to surrender of all sovereignty in the West Indian waters and the selection of an island in the Ladrones is beyond any discussion whatever. As to the Philippines the reply says in substance that as further indemnity to the United States for its expenses the United States will hold the city of Manila , its bay aud harbor , pending the determination of the future gov ernment of the whole island group. One island of the Ladrona group is tel l > e ceded to the United States , this government to make its selection later. In demanding the surrender of Span ish sovereignty in all our nearby waters the reply diplomatically avoids making any pledges as io what is to be done by this government as to Cuba. The paper prepared by Secretary Day for presentation to M. Cauibon , the French ambassador , as the answer of the United States to Spain's peace pro posal , was laid before the cabinet when it met at 11 o'clock this morning. It contained about 1,100 words. At the adjournment yesterday the only point not fully decided upon was as to the extent of our demands respecting the Philippines. It is now understood that the Presi dent and. a majority of the cabinet members favored the retention of a coaling station at Manila and the ex ercise of practically the same sovereign eign authority over the city and ports as is exercised by Great Uritain at Hong Kong. This , it is believed , will ue the final result. With regard to other questions than the Philippines , the administration favors the follow ing : Absolute cession to the United States of Porto Rico and all islands in the West Indies , save Cuba. Relinquishment by Spain of sover- eignt3r in Cuba. The United States will exercise control there until a stable government can be established. Acqiiisition of a coaling station in the Ladrone islands and perhaps the Carolines. Ko assumption of Spain's Cuban or Porto Rican debts by the United States. Xo war indemnity for Spain. The cabinet adjourned about 1 o'clock. As to the Philippines , it was decided to leave their government open for the present , to be determined later by a commission to be appointed by the two countries , the United States meanwhile to exercise control and jur isdiction over Manila , its harbor and immediately surrounding territory. The scope and power of this commis sion could not be learned and the method devised for enforcing any ver dict it might reach was left to sur mise. The Administration's general pxir- pose underlj-ing the commission ar rangement is understood to be the development of the sober second thought of the American people as to the disposition of the Philippines , un clouded by the clash of war and un affected by momentary lust for terri torial acquisition. Of course it is understood that no matter what form the Philippine ar rangement takes the United States is to acquire a naval station there , for it is understood that the original plan to acquire i coaling station has been broadened into a demand for a naval station. The argument that brought about this change was the representation of the naval war board that one of the most pressing needs of the United States naval vessels in Asiatic waters was a good dry dock and some machine shops where the repairs that were always required by the complex war ships of to-day can be effected. It was also pointed out that under strict ap plication of the neutrality laws , as urged by some writers , the United States might be prevented in time of war froa taking its own coal from its own coaling station , though the same rule cannot be applied to a naval sta tion , which wonld be held under an en- ; irely different tenure. The mainten ance of a naval station would require more territory than a coaling station ind the existence of a dock yard at ? avite has fixed the eyes of the naval war board upon that place as on ready made for our occupancy. A naval station involves some resi dent population to supply the neces sary labor and some agriculUiral lane is required to maintain this popula tion , the extent of the territory de pending entirely xipon the size of the station and its importance. Some of the naval oilicers have been urging , and their representations have been given weight , that the whole of the island of Luzon is not too great an expanse to support properly such a sta tion as the United States will require They point also to the difficulty that would be encountered in defending : station that does not occupy the whole of the island xipon which it is located On the other hand it is pointed out that there are several hundred thou sand semi-barbarous inhabitants of Luzon whose government wouU oblige the United States to keep u con siderable military and naval force always on and about the island with out proper recompense. ANOTHER CUBAN TOWN FALLS , The Gunboat Nashville Takes Glbara Without Firing a Shot. KEY WKST , Fla. , Aug. 1. The in portant city of Gibara , on the north east coast of Cuba , in the province o : Santiago , has surrendered to the American navy. This information was brought here this morning by En sign Snow , who , with a prize crew arrived in charge of the Spanish schooner Gibara. Snow says thai under orders from Admiral Sampson the gnnuoat Nashville entered the harbor of Gibara Thursday to demand its surrender. The decks were cleared for action to bombard the city i ] any resistance was offered. Steam ing carefully up to the city the com mander of the Nashville was surprised to find no attempt made from shore to resist the advance , not even a Spanish flag flying over the public buildings , lie sent an officer and an armecl force ashore to demand the surrender of the city , and they found that the Span iards had evacuated the day before and gone into the interior. The officers took possession and hoisted the American flag. Not a shot was fired. Two Spanish schooners , the Gibara and Exprcsso , at anchor , were the only vessels in harbor. These were taken in charge and prize crews from the Nashville placed aboard and ordered to take them to Key West. The wife and child of the captain of the schooner Gibara are now on board. The schooner Exprcsso is expected to ar rive here to-day. Gibara was the only city of any im portance remaining under the Spanish in the province of Santiago. SHAFTER'S REPLY TO CRITICS , Garcia Personally Invited to the Capitu lation Where the Cubans Failed. WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. The war de partment has received the following : "SANTIAGO , Aug. 1. I have the New York Sun of Saturday , July 23 , in which comments are miulc as to my treatment of General Garcia. I desire to say that General Garcia was invited by me personally to go into the city of Santiago at the time I entered , but he declined upon the ground that the Spanish civil officers were left in power. It was fully explained to him that these officials were continued in power until it was convenient to change them for others. "General Garcia's assistance to me has been purely voluntary on his part and he was told at the beginning that I did not exercise any control over him except as he chose to give. The trouble with General Garcia was that he expected to be placed in command at this place : in other words , that we would turn the city over to him. I explained to him f ully that we were at war with Spain und that the question of Cuban independence could not be considered bj * me. "Another grievance was that , finding that several thousand men marched in without opposition from General Gar cia , I extended my own lines in front of him and closed up the gap , as I saw that I had to depend on my own men for any effective investment of the place.

A Madrid dispatch to the Paris Temps reports that it is apparent that everyboclj' in Madrid is resigned to the acceptance of the American terms of peace. The only matter that is raising- any difficulty is the Cuban debt. NEARLY 700 NEW CASES , Fever Cases Increase Among the Troops at Santiago. WASIIISGTOX , Aug. 1.

The importa tions for June from the Republic into Texas was less than one-fourth as large as those of May and less than one-fifth as large as the importations of last year for the same month , and they were largely made up of calves. As to the present month , the receipts of cattle thus far in the month , now nearly completed , are almost too small to mention. THE EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS , That of tlio University of lUln-iourl ut th KxpoHltlon. Missouri's educational exhibit at the Trans-Missisippl exposition Is tba equal of any on the grounds. At the head stands that of the state nmvm- sity , which has been brought together and placed In position entirely by pri vate subscription , without the use ot a dollar from the treasury of the uni versity. A beautiful and complete se ries of photographs and plans picture the grounds , the buildings , libraries , laboratories , lecture room , museum and halls. A series of charts shows the growth In all departments of the university since the great fire of 1S92. For example , in these six years the university as r. whole has Increased In numbers 132 per cent. The "ap proved high schools" of the university have Increased In the value of their buildings and equipment 140 per cent. , though at the same time the require ments for admission to the university have been raised 50 per cent. The university exhibit is very strong In original matter. The department of romance languages Is represented by several frames filled with "pho netic tracings" unique and valuable records of language study , which can hardly be duplicated by another uni versity of the Trans-MIssissirmf re gion. Biology Is illustrated by pho tographs and beautifully mounted sec tions of brains , showing the method of studying brain formation and tex ture ; physiology by a series of photo graphs of students at work and of in delible tracings that demonstrate how nerve force can be studied and re corded. Two interesting pieces of chemical apparatus show Improve ments Invented by the professor of chemistry , while the professor of ag ricultural chemistry displays an inter esting study of the heat-producing newer of certain animal and vegetable fats. fats.After After examining the specimens from the department of bacteriology , and reading such names as "loclc jaw , " "bubonic plague. " "yellow fever , " one learns with relief that these bacteria have been allowed to grow and flour ish for a season ami then killed be fore being placed on exhibition. The development of agriculture has a practical study in charts showing- the power required to move the same loads over all sorts and conditions of roads when placed on wagons with wheels having narrow tires and then on those with broad tired wheols. Other charts show an ineen.ous meth od for the analysis of soils and the results - sults obtained by the stud4" " , . Still other frames are filled with studies in sheep breeding. In horticulture is shown the winter protection of peach trees so that the buds may not be destroyed by frost. Nearby stands a table owing the apparatus and work of the student of entomology in his study of larvae and insects. The department of engineorinc and manual training , v/ith itr drawings , apparatus , patterns and shop work , makes an admirable display , OHP "school ma'am's" work in manual training being especially interesting. A carefully constructed relief map of a section of three counties in south Missouri illustrates practical work in the department of geology. A series of fourteen maps from the depart ments of history and political science offers an interesting study of the on- lltical and industrial growth of Mis souri. SPAIN WILL PROTEST. BagaHta Declares He Asked far Fcaco Uoforo Porto KIco Vl'as Occupied. LONDON , July 29. The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says : Spain will probably protest against au attack upon Porto Rico after the Washington cabinet had officially re ceived Spanish overtures for peace. Senor Sagasta said to-day : "We re solved on peace many days ago and made known our resolutions to the United States government. I regard as null and void and as destitute of good faith everything that the Amer icans have done since , and I am ready to protest against it formally. " Several Brought Fortunes. SEATTLE , Wash. , July 20. Steamer Ilumboldt arrived from St. Michael's yesterday afternoon with 112 passen gers from Dawson City v/ith about 51,000,000 in gold dust and as much more in drafts. Three men brought 250.000 each. In most lives the centripetal abound" over the centrifugal.
