Red Cloud Chief. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA The soft tint was Introduced to Am erica nbotit lfiCO by Louis Kossuth. The nrmy campaign hat and the rough rider hat had their origin In n Tyro lean hat that wns brought here by an Amcrlcun traveler. An unumially bold burglary came to light at Clevclnnd. During the nb Renro from home of a family the bur glars lit up the house and had a fenst. The neighbors thought a parly wan going on. There are todiiy hut three bands of Semlnolrs left In Floildu. Ho com pletely have these people been disin tegrated that no tribal relations now exist between thorn J they have no ac knowledged chief and they recognize no man's authority. They number about GOO. The Pasteur Institute of Paris was recently Invited to reduce the number of rats In the drains of the city by means of cultures of vltulcnt microbes placed In their haunts. Tho coco-bacillus was chosen and spread on corn or In ead. A contagious malndy was thus Introduced, and the remedy had been effective. A costly example of building removal Iisb Just, bicn completed at Newcastle, Pn. John Stevenson, a steel and Iron mngnatc, took down, stone by stone, his sixty-five thousand dollar man sion In Newcastle, anil had It removed to Sharon. The cost of moving the dis tance, 2'1 miles, was about equal to tho nlue of tho house. Tho results of tho experiment with negroes as operatives In a Charleston cotton mill nre not encouraging to date. The trouble appears to be not In the Inability of the negroes to learn to run machines, but In their disin clination to steady and earnest work. With 35,000 negroes In the city It has been found necessary to udvcrtlse for operatives. The Prlnco of Wales, while abroad this yenr will, It Is said, always go armed ns well as guarded by the usual detectives. Slnco tho recent attack upon bis life tho prlnco has awakened to the necessity of renewed precaution, and, as he Is a first-rate pistol shot, an encounter with n would-bo assassin would not now be so one-slilod as has hitherto been the ease. Tho Automobile Club of Paris has added a theater to Its house, which Is shortly to be Inaugurated by two per formances. The Interior of the thea ter Is entirely white, with tho excep tion of the club monogram In gold on the panels. Tho electric lighting Is In visible. Tho club occupies tho house formerly belonging to the Marquise tin Plefsls-Uelllero and numbers two thou sand members. According to a letter from Prank-fort-on-Maln, the people of Denmark hnvo resolved to exterminate the rats In that kingdom, tho citizens of Cop enhagen hnvlng killed 100.000 of these rodents, or nn averago of 025 dally. That pretty nearly equals tho exploit of tho Pled Piper of llainelln, tho music of whoso pipe led so many "Great rats, small rats, lean, r.its, brawny rats, brown rats, black rats, gray rats, tawny rats," to a fatal bath In the River Weser. Students of the revolutionary epoch will find in tho Paris exposition many tellcs never before exhibited, private collectorH'Supplementlng tho historic treasures of the Museo Carnavalet.

One thousand physicians from vari ous parts of the United States and En topo are going to Chicago the latter part of August to Investigate the mer its of goats' lymph as a curative agent In human disease. They will witness a number of experiments conducted by Chicago exports who have made a study of the lymph. Dr. Joseph R. Hawley, former professor of physical diagnosis In the Chicago clinical school, has been deeply Interested In tho lymph tinco his attention was drawn to It two years ago by Dr. 11. P. Roberts of Green City, Mo., the dis coverer of tho medical virtues of the lymph. Dr. Hawley has conducted ex periments on a wide scale, and claims that the lymph can be used successful ly In tho treatment of a variety of ills eases.

XShe fh fjr A Fascinating 3 l'V Romance WCtVl Xian Adair.... m . m CHAPTER VHI.' (Continued.) Not tho strictest purist on tho earth could cavil at bis writing to her. As be felt that Is, from hla heart so ho wrote to her: My Own Joyce: 1 nm breaking my self-imposed resolution to tell you that 1 am leaving England for Australia on the Condor, which sails next week. I cannot live, thin lifn nny longer. Do you know I come out at night just to look at tho house that contains you? There Is no Joy for anything, nnd 1 nm afraid of breaking down under tho strain. 1 must work, sweetheart; I must do something. Life Is too hard. Joyce, I do not wish to see you again. If 1 saw you agnln I should never leave you; but I must henr from you to know If you arc well, dearest. 1 ought to say to you that you should try and forget me, and bo happy with some other man, but I cannot. It Is tro mcudoiiB selflshncsB on my part; but It would kill mo If you were to look nt another man. But It Is not for that I am writing, hut to tell you I am lenvlng. Your own ALAN. When Joyce received this letter she sat quite still for n llttlo time. Sho folt as If her heart must bieak when she thought of Alan. She knew what his unrest meant; she knew that If it vvoro possible that ho could lay nts head against her shoulder, and feel her hand upon bis brow, all his troubles would vanish. But this might not he. Never ugnln could they go through tho agony of another parting, never again would they look Into each othcr'B eyes and see wlint It was costing them to walk tho path of duty the only way for them. But she she must look upon his face again. She would go down to Southampton, nnd then she would try and get a glimpse of his denr face, so that alio could bco for herself how ho looked. She told no ono of her project. It wns not a wlso thing to do, but it wnB a thing sho must do, Veronica wub resting In her room; the boy was with her. Now sho had a nurse for him, and she had a pretty house and oil comforts; but sho looked more haggard than In tho old days, when fihe eked out a miserable exist ence by teaching. Then thero was something to live for, now she had nothing. She heard n tap at tho door thnt mnde her tremble. Hutchinson had been h frequent visitor lately slnco she hnd been prosperous. His visits always left her poorer and aaddor. Sho did not mind the money, having a chlldlBh Ignorance on the subject; but she did mind the way ho spoke of Alan. She prepared herself for battle when she heard his knock. He camo In, looking more bloated and excited thnn ever. Lately he had drank very heavily. Today he was sober enough but he looked more angry than he had done of late. "So that fellow thinks ho Is going to elude mo!" he snld, as he came Into the room; "but he makes a mlstnkel" Veronica turned pale. Sho knew he was speaking of Alnn, and that he was threatening him. "Whit do you mean?" sho asked boldly. "Io you mean to any thnt you don't know thut thai precious husbnnd of ours menus to sail In tho Condor on Friday? 1 dare say he wants to dc frcrt you. nnd to go off with thnt other woman!" "Alan would not do that," said Vero nica, quickly. "However much he and she suffer, they will do nothing w rong." "I dnre sny ho Is a saint!" sneered Hutchinson, "Well, he will havo a chnnce or going to heaven quickly, for I've sworn to do for him, nnd this Is my Inst chnnco!" Veronica llstene'd. Hutchinson had spoken like this before, nnd it had come to nothing; still, it was posaiblo that he might be despernte now. Ho loQhed It, and If he meant mischief to Alnn Bhe must wnrn him. Not a hair of Alan's dear head should fall by this man's hnnd. Still, sho knew that sho must not let Hutchinson sus pect thnt she was on the alert. "So he sails on Frldny?" she said quietly. "From Southampton, is It not? He wrote to wish me good-by." "It will be a longer good-by than ho knows of," said the man. "Iend mo two pounds. Veronica." Veronica hesitated. Ho might bo nskliis for money In order to kill her husband; but she hnd often lent him money before, bo sho roso slowly nnd went to tho writing table and took it out. "I suppose ho hns made a settlement upon ou?" ho ashed, with cunning leer. And poor Veronica, falling Into 'lie trap, answered, "Yes." "Then H'a all right," ho said, and went tjt. Veronica sprang up from her chair tho Instant the hall door clanged after him. She knew ho meant mischief to Alan. Sho kissed her boy many, many times before giving him In charge of his nurse. Sho was always loth to lot him out of her Bight; but today shn almost felt as If she would novcr look upon him ngnln. At tho samo time sho felt strangely happy, for it seemed ns It nt last sho wore nolo to do some thing for Alan. Alan had taken his sent In tho trnln without thinking much or leaving Eng land. It hnd ceased to bo homo to lim; ho thought ho might bo happier whori he was removed from tho temp tation of seeing Joyce, and when hj might now and again hear from hor. And ns he ant in the corner of hla eur rlage he thought he Raw a familiar figure pass. It was Hutchinson's cloud), but ho did not think much about It. Ho pulled his cap over hl9 eyes, and pretended to go to sleep; but although ho kopUhla oycB shut no sleep camo to him. Southampton, It scorned to him, was Boon reached. Ho got out of the train and began collect ing his belongings. Ho wna turning to go when suddenly ho heard the aound of a report and thon a woman's cry. In an limtant nil was commotion. A woman hnd fallen close beside him n dnrk-halrod, alight woman. Ho rushed forwnrd to help hoi up, qulto unconscious then that tho shot thnt had been flrcd wob meant for him, nml thnt the woman had Intercepted it. He had a dim Idea, too, that he saw Hutchinson slipping awny somewhere; but ho, ns well ns every ono else, wns occupied by tho fallen woman. His were the arms that helped her up, nnd his wero tho eyes that recog nized Veronica. "My Cod I" ho cried. And when they snld "Do you know her?" he answered "Yes, nnd the shot haB killed her waB meant for mo!" Ho carried her to a room near, nnd whon he laid her down she opened her eyes and smiled. "I am so hnppy," sho snld, softly. "Alnn, 1 novcr thought to feel your arms round me ngaln." "Veronica," ho said, remorsefully. "I would flladly have given my life If this hnd not hnppened!" "I know It." sho said, "but think of me for one InBtant, Alan. You ace, I love you. darling. I am dying, ao that It does not matter, nnd my life mado you unhappy. By dying for you 1 make you and her happy. It la tho only way, Alan tho only way." "But, Veronica " ho urged. But she would not let him speak. "I don't think I hnvo long, dear, let mo die like this In your arms, my hend upon your ahouldor so. You think I'm pretty still, don't you Whnt was I saying? Oh, that It will not matter, except for the boy. But I know you nnd she will bo good to him. I should have liked to havo seen him Just onco again. You know Hutchinson swore ho would be revenged on you, nnd so I followed him; and when he fired nt you I threw myself between. I was to huppy, Alnn, dear. Tho happloet moment of my life was when I felt that I might die for you." "eronlca," ho Bald, touched to the heart, "I don't deserve it Indeed I don't!" "You see," sho went on, "I mado you bo unhappy by llvlug It Is the only way." And when the doctor came a few mo menta after Ainu could sco there wns no hope. Tho bullet hnd pierced her side, nnd sho wan bleeding internally. She fell Into n state of seml-conscioiiB-ness; but townrds midnight Bhe opened her eyes suddenly. "Kiss me, Alan," sho said, "and lovo my boy." And whilst bis lips touched hers hor spirit passed nway. Joyce, waiting at the docks for a glimpse of tho man she loved, saw the great vessel glide out to sea without him. Something must have happened to delay him, sho thought! Full of fear and anxiety, sho returned home, won dering whnt had detained him; but the next day she had a telegram with these words: "Veronica died last night. I am coming at once." And then stio knew that something serious hud oc curred. Alnn came to her, chastened, grey haired; but Btlll Alan. And when he told her tho simple, touching story of poor Veronica's solf-sncrltlce and death they wept together. And Joyce re solved then and there to be a good and loving mother to Alan nnd Veronica's boy, which vow she nobly kept. In deed, there was nothing stepmotherly nhout Joyce, nnd she could say truly thnt she hnd had nothing but pity for poor Veronica, even whilst sho wna keeping Alan nnd herself apart. Alan lost no time In mnrrylng Joyco again. "Thoy had suffered so much," ho said, "thoro was no need to pro long tholr suffering." Now, Indeed, their life la the Ideal life of married people, whoso strong love for each other Is not stronger than their love of duty, nnd who did not scruple to sacrifice everything they loved best for what they know to be right. And as for Veronica's boy, ho Is llko Joyce's own. Indeed, if anything, sho spoils him more than her own chll dieu. "Ills mother saved your life, dear," sho Bald once, In nfter days, whon Alan expostulated with her, "and he is a dear boy, and he Ib yours, so you see 1 have threo of tho most excellent reasons for spoiling him." Hutchinson was never seen again. There was a hue-ami-cry after him, but he was never found. Whethor ho knew thnt tho shot meant for Alan had been received by Voronlc.i no ono could toll. Ho disappeaied, and Joyco and Alan were glad that It should he so. They had suffered so much that they wanted a llttlo peace. Most of all, they did not want rovango. It was poor Veronica who had paid tho debt, nnd sho hnd dono It gladly, saying that It wub "Tho Only Way." (Tho End.) Tho most fiery author Burns.
