Ho speaks emphatically. Franklin

Into the street lie lias taken

"Do you mean from tho .standpoint

A short sili'iice. during which the

Suddenly Taker asks, "What aru you

"Waiting for the train. I received

"Never fear. I shall not lose it."
"When does the funeral take place?"
Dr. Wilbur?"
Yes."
"Not until Sunday. I had intended

impossible."
And your proposed engagement for

Doctor's words.
Yes. I spoke to you about that.
That, will have to be postponed also."
lie speaks sadly, lie feels tho loss of
his benefactor greatly. The last

Tho whlstlo blows.
"Ah! J here's my train. Tako good

a hearty shako of the hand tho Doctor

Too next minute the train rolls out
of Itu depot.
"And I must send my dispatch,"

He writes it.

So lie starts out briskly am foot. He
has covered about half the distance,
when he hears the "-oiind of a vehicle
coming behind him. He steps aside to
allow it to pass seeing as ho aloes so,
the face aif the solitary occupant of tho
carriage.
"Where have I seen that face be

After considerable thought be gives
it up. "I see so nianv pi'ople." he mut
ters, anal dismisses it Irom bis initial.
As hi' approaches Com ad (laiilner's
I'tittaire, he sees that individual stand
ing in tho gate evidently in deep
thought.
He stops and watches him for a mo-
incut. Thetc is a look aif alcep melan
choly on the man's face, mingled with
alissatisfaction.
"Pal give a good aleal to know that
man's thoughts," he thinks.
(iaralncr looks up.
"Fine tlaj" comments Taker.
"Yes, sir. flood weather fair har

"I sea you're not at work?"
"No, sir. I ought to be. Hut my
missus is in bud ami I have to wait on
her."
"Oh. yes. Hut 1 think It would be
cheaper to hire a woman to look out
for her. Hotter for her, too."
"My missus can't bear a woman
around the house. She don't get along
very well with her neighbors. Shi;
says all they want is to pry around

"Your estimable laity shows a great
knowledge aif human nature. How's
tho baby?"
A shaile crosses tlarducr'tt face.
"Not very well. sir. Kinder fretful
ami peevish like. Not like the other.'
"What other?" aiuioklv.
"The boy, sir."
"Ah, yonr a'lnploj'cr's child?"
"Yes, sir," slowly.
"lla's healthy, eh?"
"Yes." Then siuldenlj' remember
ing that lie had better not talk much
upon this .subject, and ton stranger,
"I tiam't know as I ewr seen you be
fore, sir," he said.
"Perhaps not. I am hero in West
Chester on business. I saw you at the
inquest last Tuesday."
"Were you there?" eagerly.
"Yes. .lust dropped in."
"What did you think of It, sir?"
Taker a-an see tho man is anxious to
hear his opinion.
"I thought it was a prettj strong
case against Franklin Dyke," ho an
Mvor.s. A look of relief comes to the man's
face.
"It aloes look so," he savs.
"What do you think of it?" nuhs
Taker, ciirlouslv.
"I think so taio. sir. Poor old Dr.
Wilbur! Who would think that him,
such a licalthv old man, should bo
found aleaal only a few hours after lie
left my house." Death comes mighty
sudden to us, sir."
"Yes, very sudden. Taio much so for
some of us, Let me see. Do visited
your wife the last thing that night.
She was his last patient."
"Yes, sir. She feels mighty sad
about it. She won't allow me to use

The man enters the cottage, return

The alctective follows hint into the
house. The baby is sleeping in tilts

"This is my missus, sir," announces

'Happy to meet you." says Taker.
"I hope you'll be out of theie soon."
"I hope so. sir. I aloii t like the bed
well enough to stay in itlong."
"Slip's always up before day," com
ments tho husband.
The detective looks tit the babe a
little delicate tiling, her baby face
Hushed with fever. A tiny little face,
not at all like cither father or mother.
There is a rc.semb'ance tai some one he
has seen Who?
"Do yam think she looks like me?"
asks the woman, looking fondly upon
the child.
Thi' iletective thinks a moment be

to lie to tliis fond mother. Motheis
like to have strangers say their off

answers, "of course the features are

As if in answer to his wish, the in

a tiny wail.

Aalri.in Dyke, lie contiois himself,
ami after giving tlia parents some sug
gestions as to the care of tho littleoiic,
leaves the house.
"Adrian Dyke's "yes,' he mutters,
continuing his way to that gentle
man's lesldi'iice. "What can this

there be anything in' this? If I could
amly see th6 other one." lie Is sit the
gate opening upon the lawn before
Dyke's residence, before he has recov

u echanieully up the path. Ho notices

"I wish to see your master," ho says.
"lie is busy. sir. just now. Will you

'Yes. Take in my card."
He hands the man his card.
Pott.'f glances at It ami turns pale.
'Another auic," ho mutters, and
leave's him.
Taker looks after him
"What tlial lie mean by another one,"
he growls.
Potter returns.
".Step right into the reception-room,
sir. Mr. Dyke will ha' with yam pres
ently." lie enters the reception-room. He
can hear the hum of voices in the ad
joining room, tlio library. If h.s mem
ory serves him correctly theto is an
oiien key hole in a door near by.
Ho applies his eye to it. All, the man
who has passed him am the ro.ial is en
gaged in conversation with the ntastvr
of the house, lie has his hat olf. "Ily
the hokey!" I know him. "cries TAker,
mentally; "It's Hogcrson of New
York. What In the devil does he want
here?'1 Then hercineiubeisthat Frank
lin has said that his brother had at -nounceii
ids determination of sending
to both New York and Philadelphia.
"Hi' has sent to both places," he mutter-,,
"anal Kogerson has been detailed
from New York. I wonder what theory
he'll form. I must pump him."
lie cannot hear what is being said,
so lie rises from his knees anal com
poses himself to wait. It is not long,
for Adrian Dyke soon makes his ap
pearance. Taker is sitting in the
shallow, so he is not seen at ilrst.
"Mr. Taker?" speaks tho master of
the house in an inquiring tone of voice.
"At your service, sir," answers that
gentleman, coining forvvavd.
"Ah, you are Mr. Taker."
"Yes, si.. I was aenl here by my
chief, Mr. .Smith."
Adrian Dyke is studying his face.
"Have I not seen yon before?" he
asks. "Here, in this house, yester
day?" The iletective atctci mines to put a
bold face on the matter. "Yes," he
answers, "you alid. I was hen.'."
"Kopresenting youisulf as the agent

"Ah, you wanteil to get at my flnrm

"F.xuctly," quietly.
"And you succeeded?"
"Yes, sir: I know how much you aro

men Sttode. Mercer, ll.iluer, Melkel

National Hank of Omaha, the latter
twoolllceis being of Omiiha Tho or
ganization is strictly a state one, as it
was formed by a body of men a'ulleil
together from every section of Nadir.is
kaanil representing every iutcicst. It
starts out under very favorable cir
cumstances, having the endorsement
oflioveuiur llolcomb and other lead
ing ollleial and business men as well
us definite assuianeeof their heartj
co-operation and Mil stuutial aid and
support. Nearly twenty counties, or
nciirl.v ouc-foiiiih the entire uuiuler,
were pledged at the organization meet
ing to immeiliati'ly form uull'uiry
clubs, and this is to be alone at onei'.
Full Information concerning plans for
the foundation of auxiliary clubs may
be had of tlu secretary at Omaha.
The president and the executive com
mittee have jointly Issued a formal
address to tho people of Ne
braska, tho substance of which
is given below, ami should ami
will bo read to the end by every
loyal citizen of the state. The proposi
tion seems to be a broiial one. in the In
terest of the whole state, freed f rami all
sectional bias or preferment and po
political scllish motives, it will there
fore appeal to the ready ami substan
tial support and co-operation of all
good citizens. Tho address, in sub
stance, is as follows, limited spare for
bidding the publication of the full text,
viz:
Hccogniz.ing the value and need of
organization, in tho general interest of
our state, a number of gentlemen, rep-
representative of all sections of .Ne
braska, met at Omaha, December IK),
lS'J.'i, anal incorporated the Nebraska
club, the general object af which is ex
pressed in the articles of incorporation,
also the preamble anal resolutions
which were in thu early stages of the
movement adopted, Hist by tho Manu
facturers anal Consumers association of
Nebraska, and subsequently endorsed
by tho leading business and profes
sional men, also state ollicials, mayors
of cities, ami others, forming a prelim
inary groundwork for the subsequent
building of tho completed structure
represented in thu Nebraska club now
being formed. The preamble a ml res
olutions referrcil to aro as follows:
Whereas, The immigration of good
citizens into Nebraska should be en
couraged. Whereas, Having In our great state a
tcrritorj' capable of supporting many
times its present population, thousands
of acres of as fcrtilo soil as can bo found
nny where in the world, ame of Nebras
ka's greatest needs now is a more rap
idly increasing population.
Whereas, An increase in immigration,
more particularly upon ami-agricultural
lands, would result in (1) an increased
trade in th commodities handleal by
tho jobbers and retail merchants of the
state; ('-') an increased consumption of
thu products of our liomu manufac
tures; (.'!) the employment of Idle labor
ami increased activity in all thu ave
nues of business anal the professions;
(I) au incrcaso in tho valuation of our
farm land, city realty and other tax
able property, thereby producing a
higher general average of prosperity to
all our people now hero ami to come;
und
Whereas, Thero already exists
among tho pcoplo of the state, neealing
amly tobu crystallized anal organized in
onler to become a llvo working factor
in tho general advancement of the in
terests af tho state, a sentiment
strongly In favor of keeping Nebraska
to the front in an honest, earnest ami
elfcctivo manner, therefore, with an
abiding faith in the great resources of
our state and fullest contldcncu In the.
integrity of its citizens, be it
licsolvcil, That we, tho undersigned,
and others who shall hereafter join
with us, hereby agree to associate our
selves together und organize as asso
ciation to bo known as Tho Nebraska
Club for the general purpose of secur
ing tho co-operation of all classes of
people throughout thu state in a sys
tematic elTort to promote immigration
of good citizens anal add to the popula
tion of tho stato by thu year A. I).
1'joo, one million immigrants, being
good settlers from other states and
countries.
There aro scores of ways oml meth
ods to be adopted and put into execu
tion. To a very largu extent they must
bu left to the lioaidof Directors and
Kxecutlvo Committee
It is a fact not to be lost sight of that
we have not only to induce (mi
grants, but to stay tho title of emi
gration, though small, from Nebraska.
Wo have to meet in a dignified and
forceful way tho misapprehension that
has gained footing abroad by the cir
culation of slanderous statements de
rogatory to thu good numo of tho state.
Thero is no tpicslion but that it can
bo done by simple and persistent state
ment of facts. As expressed by u prom
inent cltl.eu of tho state, "Wo must
start a baek-firo against that which is
injuring us so severely or wo shall bo
consumed." Tills must bo done by giv
ing tho widest possiblocirculatiim in tho
proper territory to such editorial work
for illustration as is being turned out
ilu' bj day by one of tho leading news
papers of this city, in which it makes
comparisons fiout statistics withsouth
cm und other states which aru attract
ing settlors from tho country generally
as well as from Nebraska ami which
show up very largely to tho ailvantago
of Nebraska. Much of tho migration
is blind and misguided ami a laigc per
cent will sooner or later return the
wiser for tho experience ami better
than ever sat Islleal with Nebraska.
It will be onu of the duties of the
organization to thoroughly inculcate
thi' doctrine, glvati expression toby
Hon. ( has. W. Irish at the recent Statu
Irrigation convention when ha said,
"Stick by your farms ami stay In Nebraska."
i Matlstlcs anal other tellable inforitm
i tioii will be circulated at home, there
fore as well as in those sections where
! nny untrue and libelous items have
baen or may be given publiatiou
'I he statistics compiled will bear
j I'h.ellj upon matters of Interest to the
'inner, ami it is proposed to give
! t icm absolute credibility.
I I lift i" shall bo u literary bureau or
1 I ureau of facts anal llgures. From

and bright pens new and attractive
matter. Orcat care will bo exerciseal
that It shall be Ilrst f all accurate ami
that it shall lie most judiciously di.s
tnbuled on soil where It would natur
ally produce the best fruits.
This is mi organization by the people
af the stati'. It is theirs ami they will
be cspea'ted to entertain ami manifest
an interest in it in keeping with such it
relationship
Incidentally, but with emphasis, the
people most sought after shall be the
farmers, and the farmers' grown-up
sons and daughters This Is a move
in ft) t in which thero must be no jeal
ousies as between Individuals, sections
air localities, or as between the country
unit towns. It must boa common,
united, harmonious oll'ort, not of tho
classes, but of the musses of the people,
by the people and for the people aif
Nebraska.
While it is the I'hlef purpose of this
statement to alireet attention to the
methods of applying the forces which
will be mustered In tills movement, for
tho geueial gooal, nevertheless plans
for developing nud completing tlio air
ganizatioii will be of general interest.
The articles of iucorntiou rcipiire that
r.uiiii sliiucs shall bo subscribed und
paid before the club shall proca'cil to
carry out the object for which it is in-
corpornteil.
As mi example worthy of emulation,
the Manufacturers und Consumers as
sociation of Nebraska is cited. This
organization, a state ami', with mem
bers till over Nebraska, has already bj'
formal resolution aif its boaril aif direc
tors requested its members, active ami
associate, in thu various communities
to tako the Initiative in this movement,
make up thu original live Maickhailalcrs
necessary ami call an organization
meeting'iti their different localities.
Volunteer organizers arc called for
and should bo rendiiy secured from
every county In thu Main without, ilc
lny. fiver one hundred signatures
were promptly added to thu drafted
preamble ami resolutions, being those
air representative citizens all over the
stati'. The co-operation ami assistance
of the press is earnestly desired.
Foreign corporations anal individuals
liaving interests in the state, ami there
fore, in tho work ami success of the
club are rcipiesteil to subscribu to the
common fund.
Kvory business linn, every farmer,
ami all others, regardless of vocation,
polities or creed, aro urged to join in
the common effort.
On the occasion of any ami all gen
eral conventions, farmers' institutes,
or other public gatherings of slz.o ami
importance, it is desired and roqucsti'd
that the club bo given a place on the
program thereof and proper tlmu for u
altie anal full presentation of its princi
ples and purpose audits claims upon
tlio public interests ami support.
Tho real estate men will naturally
occupy a prominent place in tho active
work of the club ami their earnest per
sonal vigilant support is aleslrcd.
Traveling salesmen, insurance agents
ami companies, doctors, lawyers, clubs
and fraternal organizations and all oth
ers aro asked to interest themselves in
this organization and the good work it
proposes doing.

Victoria was a pure bluek-and-tan ter

a performer In Ikirnutu'Hi'lreuii, was en

show. Hho was exceptionally clever In
Miiidllng horses, and she fieqtiently re

day In Munrliester a man sent his com
plliueiilri to the fair rider, accompanied
by a basket, which iwiutuliicd the Hiuall
a'st mite nf eatilnlty she hud over beheld.
Tlie dug accompanied her on her travels
all over the world, and though It novur

Many nuthors have alluded to the su
perstition about thu porcupine, that it
possesses the ability to shoot lt qulll.i
to a eonuldcrable distance ami thus to
wound those who anger It. In proof ot
the notion tlio fact that alogn arc often
found with poicupluo ipiilln sticking in
thoir mouths und throats Is Humctlmcs
cited. The quills do not get there, how
ever, by being thrown from thu porcu
pine, hut on account of thu eagerness
of Hie dog attempting to seize the ani
mal and so fixing the quills in his own
llcsli. Pliny says that among the Kn
niniiH of his time theto wan a heller that
Htugs could, by their breath, draw ser
pents from their holes In tho ground,
and after getting them out would then
trample them to death. The early hunt
em of this country relate many Inci
dents concerning tlio enmity between
deer ami serpents of all kinds. It l.s
well known thnt stags would often,
without hesitation, uttark rattlesnake,!,
and by Jumping high In the air and de
trending upon the serpent with tho foro
hoofs drawn closely together would cut
tho snnlto to pieces. The country peo
ple of England, an well an soveral other
countries, have au Idea that tho red of
tho robin's breast wan caused by tho '
drop of blood which fell upon It at the
crucifixion. According to tho story tlio
robin, commiserating tho condition of
Christ, tiled to pluck tlio crown ot
tlmriiB from his brow and, In doing so,
got lis breast wet with tho blood flow
ing from the wounds. Tho color becamo
permanent, being transmitted from gen
eration to generation, and thus, accord
ing to tho legend, tho robin Is n perpet
ual reminder of the sufferings of Christ.
