torney General Brown for an opinion
.as to just how far ho could go In such
-matters. Tho appeal that broke tho
-ramel's back came from Falls City,

ers wrote tho governor asking him to

vlctinn of tho Kruuso brothers of
.Sheridan county under the direction
of United States District Attorney
.Baxter and Special Assistant Attornoy
Hush by Special Land Agents De
.FreeB, Chambers and Dixon.
The appropriation of the public do
smnln by Reed and the Millers Is mate-a-ially
different from that of tho
.Krauses and tho Bartlett Richards
cases, from the fact that tho lands
iapproprlated by Reed and the Millers
i.s land not subject to entry and Is
nmrt of the land upon which the na
tional government Is making its for
est and timber growing experiments.
",rhe offense is consequently regarded
as more flagrant tlmi that of the

Ings nro to bo Instituted against tho
accused parties at once.

tho cattlemen for repeated violations
of tho order of the department of jus

It entailed lifting nil the refuse out of
tho hole. To save time, therefore, he
carried his mining tools Into tho open,
placed In position the cheval do frlso
long since constructed for the defense
of tho entrance, and poured water over
tho remains of the lire.
This was his final care each night
before stretching his weary limbs on
his couch of branches. It caused delay
In the morning, but he neglected no
.,rcc,uitlon, and there was a possible
cimm.0 0f the Dynks falling to discover
the eagle's nest If they were persuad
ed by other Indications that the Island
was deserted.
He entered tho hut and was In the
net of pulling off his boots when a dis-
tant shot rang sharply through the air.
It was magnified tenfold by the In-
tense silence. Kor a few seconds, that
scorned to bo minutes, ho listened, cher
ishing the quick thought that perhaps
sands. A sputtering volley, which bis
trained ear recognized as the lliing of
muzzle loaders, sounded the death knell
of his last hope.
The Dyaks had landed! Coming si
lently anil mysteriously in the i.uul ul!
night, they were themselves the vie
(ms of a stratagem they desi"iiod to
employ. Instead of taking the occu
pants of Rainbow Island unawares
they were startled at being greeted by
a shot the moment they landed. The
nlarmed savages at once retaliated by
firing their antiquated weapons point
blank at the trees, thus giving warning
enough to wake the seven sleeper.
Iris, fully dressed, was out In a mo
ment. "They have come!" she whispered.
"Yes," was the cheery answer, for
Jenks face to face with danger was a
very different man from Jenks wres
tling with the Insidious attacks of Cu
pid. "Up the ladder! Be lively! They
will not be hero for half an hour If they
kick up such u row at the first dilllcul
ty. Still, wo will take no risks. Cast
down those spare lines when you reach
tho top and haul away when I say
'Ready! You will find everything to
hand up there."
He held the bottom of tho ladder to
steady It for the girl's climb. Soon her
voice fell, like n message from a star:
"All right! Please Join me soon!"
The colled up ropes dropped along
the face of tho rock. Clothes, pick,
hatchet, hummer, crowbars and other
useful odds and ends were swung away
Into the darkness, for tho moon as yet
did not Illumine the crag. The sailor
darted Into Belle Vue castle and kicked
their leafy beds about tho floor. Then
ho slung all the rifles, now live In num
ber, over his shoulders and mounted
tbo rope ladder, which, with tbo spare
cords, he drew up and colled with
careful method.

Tho especial characteristic of thu
Irish peasants, according to Frank

Andrew I). White's first diplomatic
experience was as an attache at St.
Petersburg at the time of the Crimean
war. The war brought to Russia
many American adventurers. "One
mini who came out with superb plans,"
Mr. White says, "brought a militia
colonel's commission tuul the full uni
form of a major general. At first he
hesitated to clothe himself In all his
glory, and therefore went through u
process of evolution, beginning first
with part of his uniform, and then
adding more as his courage rose.
"During this process ho became the
standing joke of St. Petersburg, but
later, when he had emerged In full nnd
llnal splendor, he became a man of
murk; indeed, so much so that serious
dlllicultles arose. Throughout the city
are various corps do garde, and the
sentinel on duty before each of these,
while allowed merely to present arms
to an ofllcor of lower rank, must,
whenever ho catches sight of a gen
eral ofllcor, call out the entire guard
to present arms, with the heating of
drums.
"Here our American was a source of
much dllllculty, for whenever any sen
tinel caught sight of Ills gorgeous
epaulets In the dlstanoe the gu.ii'd was
Instantly called, arms were presented
nnd drums beaten, much to the de
light of our A'icud, but even more to
the disgust of the generals of the Rus
sian army and to the troops, who thus
rendered absurd homage and found
themselves taking part In something
like a bit of comic opera." Exchange.
