THE GUARD’S STORY. From the Slot* Journal, Lincoln, Neb. There is probably not a stronger naan or more trustworthy guard employed at the Nebraska 8|ate Penitentiary than J. T. Ralston. Tojjh stranger he appears a Tory good example of the man who boasts that he was never sick a day in his life. . For many years Mr. Ralston lived at Syracuse. Nebraska, and the old residents there remember him as one of the strongest and healthiest of their number. In ’80, or thereabouts, when the “grip” first broke forth in this section of the coun try. it claimed him, as one of its earliest victims. Like most men with a strong physique, he sneered at the disease and did not guard properly against it. For days he lay in btd and left it only as a confirmed invalid. Auuutuiib iiureoe movea wun ms xaniuy to Peru, Nebraska, where some of his chil dren were attending the State Normal School. He hoped the change would do him good, but he was disappointed. He doctored with the local physicians, and even with his own son, who was practicing medicine. All seemed to no avail, and miserable in mind and body the poor man told his family that be feared'tbere was no hope for him. A happy thought of his own led him to try strong stimulants. He was again able to work. But he soon found that his relief was but temporary, and when bad weather eame on he was subject to severe attacks of the “grip” as before. Two years ago Mr. Halstnn was employed at the.Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin coln, the state capital, and enjoyed compar ative ease while performing the duties of nsher. Lyt fall, however, he was put out on the wail, and with the change of work came his old trouble in even more aggravat ed form. He was not only troubled with the usual miserable feelings of the “grip,” but he found himself short of breath and gen erally weak, these things unfitting him for the duties of bis position. Once more, almost in despair, be sought a cure and purchased a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. He used them according to directions and telt better. Five more boxes followed the first, and thelong aufferer was a well man. Said he to a Journal reporter, to whom he bad just given the above facts: “I feel now as though I could stack more hay than any man in Nebraska; and If I needed a posi tion now 1 would hunt one on a harvest field. Why, only last Sunday night 1 took a severe cold which, a year ago, would have laid me up a week with the ’grip’; but now it causes me only temporary annoy ance, and I simply live it oil.” . Mr. Ralston has been long and favorably known in many parts of Nebraska, both as a private citizen and as a leader in tbe orig inal Farmers’Alliance movement,and hosts of friends rejoice with him in his remark able recovery, for which he unhesitatingly gives the credit to Dr. Williams’ Pink Puls. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give now life and richness to the blood ana restore shattered nerves. Pink Pills are ■old by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price, SO cents a box, or six boxes for fS.SO, by addressing Dr. Williams1 Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

FASHION’S FANCIES. Every description of thin, gauzy, ma terial is popular for gowns and waists. Red, yellow, blue, mauve, and green organdies, trimmed with cream or black lace, make very stylish-looking gowns. Black lace end insertion on white cos tumes is one of the newest fancies of the hour. White tucking, combined with white or colored beading and satin baby rib bon, is very pretty for yokes, guimpes, „v: and plastrons on children’s frocks. Parasols for everyday wear are most ly of shaded silks; lavender and gold gives a charming, :himmoring effect, and red ones are always pretty, espe cially for a pale-faced girl. WORTH KNOWINC.

I BY PERMISSION OF RAND.MSNALLY A CO.. (CHAPTER VI.—Continued). At the Tower wharf he landed, paid his passage and something over, and walked away from the river, taking several turns without hesitation or In quiry, and finally making due east for some distance. Another turn to the light brought him. as he had calcu lated, straight down upon the river again at Wapplng. In the not very probable case of any one having at tempted to follow him from the neigh borhood of his own house, his rapid voyage down the river and his devious course through these thickly populated streets must have completely baffled the pursuit. ' He stepped down to the water-side and looked at the half-dozen boat3 lying there. In a moment he was surrounded by their owners, each vociferously claiming the passenger for his own craft, warranted to be at once the safest and speediest on the river. He smiled, and chose the one who made the most noise. This was a bright, open-looking young fellow who gave every promise of being as com municative as could be wished. Before they had gone half a mile he had justi fied the colonel's choice of him by re plying at great length to four or five tentative remarks; but though his com panion was keeping a sharp- lookout, nothing seemed to give him the oppor tunity or information he desired. As the corner at the lower end of the pool came in sight the colonel made another attempt. “You must have some interesting characters,” he said, “down here among the shipping and the sailors.” “You may say that, sir,” was the re ply; “there’s all sorts in Llme'us, from a spanking lass like Susie Gaylord down to old Nan with her black teeth and her fathom o' foul tongue behind ’em.” The colonel smiled. This might be amusing, but it' was not business, and he put it by. “Ah, women,” he said; “no doubt they are always interesting, but I was thinking of men, and stories of adven ture at sea.” "Ay, ay, sir,” said the young man, "there may be a tale or two about, but there's not much in men, to my mind; they're every one as like the other as a row of bottles; but the girls, now, young and old, glib and glum, stupid and smart uns—why, they're all different, and ye can't but like to hear about ’em all.” The colonel smiled again, but he was inwardly dissatisfied; he felt that he was far from caring to hear about all the fair ones in Limehouse. The boat, under the combined force of two strong arms nnd ebbing tide, was swiftly near ing its destination, and his opportunity would soon have passed unused. It was clear that some means must be found of prolonging the conversa tion, for it would be difficult to open another with so willing and so expan sive a talker. "It’s a sharp morning,” he said, "and it seems a long time since breakfast; is there a house near where we could find anything fit for a thirsty man to drink?” The boatman laughed knowingly, and with an air of pride in the locality. “There's the Outward Bound,” he said, “where ye'll get better rum than ever passed the customs up yonder;” and he drew the boat into the landing steps. “That will do," said the colonel ;"we'll take a glass, then, for good luck, for I don't mind telling you that I’m in that line just now myself.” “Are ye, though?” asked his com panion, looking at him with more sym pathetic interest; “why, I took ye for a Frenchy.” The colonel _ swallowed his national pride and grinned sweetly. "I am a Frenchman,” he said, “but I'm running a free cargo for all that; I'm down here now to look for a smart man who knows the trade.” They had left the boat and were now wanning in tne direction oi a tavern facing the river. On the sign-board ap peared a ship with all sails set, and at the mast-head a large triangular patch of brilliant ultramarine, Intended, no doubt, to represent the blue-peter, the signal of outward-bound vessels. The interior of the house pfloved un savory, so the famous rum was ordered out of doors into a rude veranda, which they had entirely to themselves at this early hour of the morning. "Yes,” said the colonel, smacking Ills lips critically over the liquor, “I want a man to help me with a heavy cargo, and I'm told that I shall find down in *h“se parts a certain Herman John stone, who'll do it as well as another.” "Black Johnny, eh?” said his com panion; "well, ye may find him and ye may not; but I’ll tell ye this—there's no man like him If ye do.” “Why should I not find him? Is he In hiding?” "The revenue coppers have had an eye on him since that Esmeralda busi ness, ye know, and they say the Ad miralty beaks 'd like to ask him some questions, too, about the Jamaica trade. Mind ye, I say nothing beyond what I'm told myself, but I've heard that the | Jolly Roger and him have been fairly I wc-ll acquainted time and again.” j "Ah," said the colonel, "that's an old ; tale; but what’s this about the Esmer alda? rye not heard that.” And he called for a fresh supply of rum for his companion, who indeed required no such persuasion to start him spinning bis yarn. “Well, sir,” he began, “it was this way. The Esmeralda was off the south coast at a convenient place none so far from Portsmouth, and there she was for a week dodging about, and couldn't run In, seeing that the revenue men had word of her, and were out and about every night. So this Johnstone o’ yours hits upon a plan, and Just like himself it was too. He goes to the coast-guard and gives information that the Esmer alda's to be run on such a night, and volunteers to take the officers to the place himself. So they go, near a doien of them, and watch round a corner till all the cargo’s ashore, and then they jump out of a sudden and collar the men, they not being more than six or seven, and taken by surprise as they seemed. So the coppers made them fast and began to load up the cargo on a couple o’ carts. Only, while they were full-handed, down ct^me half a , score more on the other Bide, and the prison ers they got loose somehow wonderful quick, and there was a bit of a light, but no firing, ye see, the officers not expecting anything, no more than the others had made believe to; and the long and short of it was that the cargo went up the north road post-haste, as they say, and the coast-guard with It In their own carts, to keep ’em quiet for a bit.” Bravo!” said the oolonel; "that’s the man for me! And all I've got to do now is to find him; do you know where he lives?” The young man hesitated. "No,” he said; "leastways, not exact ly; but Mrs. Briggs within there’ll tell ye.” This, however, Mrs. Briggs in her turn was equally unwilling to do, though the colonel stated frankly the nature of his assumed errand. She offered, however, to send for Johnstone if the gentleman would be good enough to wait and see him at the Outward Bound. To this the colonel agreed, and Mrs. Briggs disappeared in search , of a trusty messenger. The waterman, who had by this time finished his second glass and had been liberally paid both in coin and thanks, showed no disposition to hurry his de parture; he was evidently hanging about in hope of being a party to the In terview between two such interesting personages. The colonel saw this, and recognised that the open veranda in which they had bec:i sitting was too public a place for a discussion of the kind he antici pated; for even if he could succeed in dismissing his present companion It was free to any passer-by to step in, or indeed to overhear a conversation from the street. So he rose and looked idly about him for a few moments, and ended by drift ing round into the bar. Mrs. Briggs was there, and understood what he wanted before he spoke. "You’ll like to be alone, sir,” she said; "there’s an empty room upstairs, two pair back; I'll send him up to you as soon as he comes; 'twon’t be long now.” The colonel stumbled up a narrow, rickety staircase, filled with dusty twi light and the smell of stale tobacco smoke. At the top he found the room, a low-roofed den, evidently used by the more intimate customers of the house for secret potations after lawful hours. A heavy step outside, and turning round he saw a man In sailor's dress enter the room. There was not a moment's doubt as to his Identity. There he stood, stout, swarthy, fierce, and resolute, as Est court had described him. His face was in all probability more weather-beaten and furrowed with deeper lines than when Dick saw him twenty years ago at Copenhagen, but the force and choleric expression was there, and his hair was Jet-black still. “You’ve sent for me,” he said. “What Is It? Let's be short.” Hls herculean strength, the violence of hls speech and manner, the strange and disreputable atmosphere of the place, and the impossibility of escape from It, might well have alarmed even a brave man; but the colonel seemed to be serenely unaware of being In any way at a disadvantage, and took hls own time and method of answering. “My name,” he said, In slow, precise tones, “is Vllleroy, and I live for the present at No. 12 Canterbury Square, Southwark. I am from time to time engaged in importing goods without the assistance of the custom-house officials. I have just now an unusually difficult venture on hand, and I have come to London to engage a flVst-rate skipper." Johnstone’s face relaxed a little. He was pleased with the compliment Im plied, to say nothing of the prospect of active employment of the kind he loved. “Where you do want her landed?" he asked. me landing, replied the colonel, “is not the chief difficulty; it is in inking the cargo on board that the dunge: lies.” ■ “And where would that be done?” asked the other. "That,” said the colonel, "I shall not tell you yet; but it’s a good long voyage from here, and I shall want to engage you for three months, certain.” Johnstone reflected a moment, going over in his mind the various ports from which smugglers came to Europe. "Well,” he said at last, "never mind. Wliat's the work?” “It is work of an unusual kind,” re plied his companion, “needing skill, strength, and courage; but I'm told you don't shirk danger when it comes in the way of business.” "Dangeri” said the other, with rude contempt. "Go on!” The colonel continued. In the same measured voice. "The coast," he said, "is so well kept by guard-boats that it will be neces sary for us in loading the ship to make use of a boat of entirely new design, propelled under water, and rising and sinking at the will of the occupant— that is to sny. of yourself.” Johnstone looked Incredulous. "You shall see the plans and judge for yourself,” said the colonel; "it is in reality simple enough.” “If It can be worked," said the other. tvlth an oath, "then I'll do It. But whet ] a queer start ot the coast-guard to keep the sea and not patrol the shore at all." "Oh, as to that, they do; but the watch on shore can be squared.’’ Johnstone nodded. "What's your cargo?” he asked, abruptly. The colonel smiled, and took a gold napoleon from his pocket. “It's got that head upon It,” he said, holding up the coin between his finger and thumb. “Something strongish, eh?” said his companion. “Very strong,” said the colonel, with dry humor. "And plenty of It?” asked the other. "Enough.” replied the colonel, “to liven up every friend I’ve got for some time to come.” Johnstone brought his fist down on the table. "I'm your man,” he said, “If you’re my money!” "I am prepared io give you 10,000 francs, that Is to say, £100. for the three months.” "Double it!” "Certainly not,” said the colonel, with quiet decision. “By God! you shall though," growled the other, with a hardly suppressed threat in his gesture. ‘Four hundred Is my offer,” said the colonel, Indifferently. “You may take It or leave It, as you please.” “No!” roared Johnstone; "I’ve got you! I know your name, and where you live, and what you’re up to, and you’ll give me a thousand, or I’ll blow the game for you!” The colonel put his hands In his pockets and leaned his head back against the wall. “I gave you a false name and ad dress,” he said, “and I dld-not tell you my real business. I do not trust a man until I know him.” “I don’t care!” shouted the other; “I’ve got you for all that. Here you are and here you stay until you sign for n thousand!” "Alas!” said the colonel, shaking his head, “the bold are so apt to be short sighted! Friend Johnstone,” he con tinued, “I came here by way of the custom house; I left a letter there, to be opened if I did not return for It In two hours. The time Is nearly up now. What do you suppose they will find when they open It?” The man looked daggers at him, but shifted uneasily and said nothing. “They will find,” said the colonel, “your address and that of this house, with a request to look for us at once In both those places.” “Well,” growled Johnstone, “what then?” “You are In request Just now,” con tinued the colonel, politely. "First-, I want you; secondly, the revenue offi cers wish to hear more of that.little Joke about the Ksmeralda; and thirdly, the Admiralty desire your opinion on the dangers of the West Indian trade routes.” The man looked thunderstruck. "Naturally,” the colonel went on, “I wish to secure the preference myself; | and. Indeed, if you refuse my terms I don’t suppose you will get such easy ones from either of the other two parties.” There was a short pause. ‘‘I'll go,” said Johnstone, with a kind of sullen admiration In his look. “I’ll go for four hundred.” “It shall be five,” said the colonel. “And now unlock the door.” They went downstairs and out of the house. At the river-side the colonel made an appointment with his compan ion to meet at Southampton on a cer tain day, and stepped into a boat. “Westminster steps,” he said to the waterman as they pushed off. “You’ll not forget to call at the cus tom house, sir,” Johnstone called anxiously after him. "Oh, there’s no need for that," re plied the colonel. “I left nothing there.” And the boat shot swiftly up-stream on the incoming tide. ( TO BE CONTINUED.) STEADY FARMING. Mistake of the Farmers In Not Sticking to Any One Thing. Steady farming, with a good rotation of crops persistently followed. Is the surest way -to success for farmers. Abrupt changes In order to meet high prices for some farm product are dan gerous practices, says the Germantown Telegraph. It Is within the remem brance of every farmer when hay was so low that It hardly paid to raise It for market, but since then farmers have been making more profit off hay than almost any other crop. To suit the change a great many dropped hay from their list of farm crops and tried to get along without It. The steady farmers continued to give grass a place In their erop rotation, turning It under when it would not pay to cut and sell It as hay, and when prices went up again for hay they were the only ones who had good crops to sell. Besides enriching the soil with the grass they found them selves prepared to reap a good harvest when prices came round again to their normal condition. Just now sheep have been at a discount and thousands have been selling them off to raise something else more profitable. But sheep, both for wool and mutton, will be profitable in the future. Several times In the past me sneep inuusiry nas Deen at us low est ebb, but It revived in time. Steam and electricity are said to be driving horses out of the market and that it will no longer pay to raise fine colts. There never was a time and probably never will be when It did not pay to raise good horses. Underbred stock is too plentiful and will be at a greater discount in the future than now, but fine driving road horses or heavy draught horses will never lose their value permanently. It is within the re membrance of the writer when many farmers paid $5 and $6 per head for ordinary sheep because a boom In that line was sending everything upward. There are too many farmers engaged in this industry who wait for high prices and then they rush into that particular line of work. If sheep are high-priced they pay exorbitant prices for stock in order to raise others to sell. If corn is the leading farm product that pays well they turn their farms Into enor mous corn-fields, unmindful of the fact often that they do not understand its culture nor the expenses Attached to it. j Frequently they have to make an initial outlay to adapt themselves to the abrupt change, which alone will take away all prollts.
