Superstitions still rife in Devon shire are that it is unlucky to put the right boot on first; that the first foot to cross a threshold in the new year must be that of a man; that ill luck follows the spilling of salt on the tablecloth and the crossing of table knives. These are only a few of many similar minor beliefs.

See?" de murely. "The villain! he shall account to me for it." declares the Sheriff of Se cora county, with a growl. "I came I saw I conquered.

"I suppose so, but you can rest as sured I don't intend to let my hug grow old in waiting. Miss Madcap. Now that you have accomplished your purpose, I suppose you will let me see you home!"

' They have a queer time of it on the i way to the hotel, and only by rare ' tact does Dora prevent the gentlemen : from coming to blows; the fiery little j specimen-hunter seems to believe he has a grievance, and would like to bring matters to a climax, but Col. Bob does not meet him half-way, and Dora smoothes the ruffled feathers of her quondam admirer In a way wom en have. No sooner does she leave them at the hotel than the British lion has his mane up. The time may not be ex actly propitious, as a number of per- jxxffzzs ' apGnr27r. . .se7&r sons are around the entrance of the Grand Continental, but a hot-headed lover cares not for trifles, The professor dances before the colonel and shakes a diminutive fist under his nose. "Do you know what I've a mind to 0 you jack-rabbit from the Llano Estacado, you big hulk of a Western mushroom? I've a good notion to whip you right here and now, just as my forefathers did yours once upon a time, when we chased you out of the confederation and made you shift for yourself. Yes, and I'll do it, too, if yOU so njucjj as sb.ut one eye j;m ijoilinc over with indiznation be- ware how you further irritate me!" Col. Bob of course immediately ' closes one of his optics, and the irate naturalist accepts the invitation, send i ing our a small fist and striking the ! Western sheriff. No man, big or Iit j tie, does this without impunity, and. j uttering a roar, Col. Bob pounces upon the excitable Briton, shaking him vigorously, and when done toss ; ing the wretched piece of anatomy to . one side among the lookers-on, as though in contempt, i "I don't allow liberties of that kind, my little man; better fool with a buzz ' saw than with Bob Harlan; you may Tnca fi ffiTtr fiT Toe 5t nna o c?a. Vt "run ITe k of yoTr Hfe! Hark ye, professor; when you want satisfaction for this business, you know where to find me Bob Harlan's latch-string is always out,' with which the unruffled Sheriff of Secora county saunters into the Grand Conti nental. Not finding Dick, the colonel be takes himself to the neighboring street, where they have located at least temporarily. Looking up, he sees a light in their suite of rooms Dick is there, perhaps wondering what has become of him. A few minutes later Bob Harlan opens the door of the room and enters. His comrade is seated in a chair at a window, smoking. "So you deserted me?' says the Sheriff. "I left you in better company," re turns Dick, with a solemn look that might become an owl. "Some peculiar features about the presence of Dora in that place tell you another time." "None better than the present." "It's late." "Pps! fiP-n's no mor Fleep in my eyes than in a cat's. Crack away, old man." "To begin with it seems that when I was employed by Senor Lopes to find a certain man, I was runsJaff anrack with the plans of Miss Pan line Westerley you know she coss trols the great El Dorado mine by a small majority of votes, and only suc ceeds in doing this because she uses the ten shares of a party who placed them at the disposal of her father. Give me a weed; that's a trump now a light, if you please." "This obliging party, whose shares give the control of the mine to Miss Pauline, his name is ! "One Richard Danvers." "H'm! I begin to see. The senor needs him badly to complete bis com bine, doesn't he?" Then Col. Bob rapidly sketches his little adventure with the professor, Dora's confession, and the story of how she regained the paper which the crafty Mexican hildage had so coolly abstracted from her private desk at the hotel; to all of which Dick listens attentively, and when the yarn is finished, he exclaims: "Bravo for Dora! Don't you for get it, my boy, that bright-eyed girl is a jewel, and if I were you I wouldn't be scared off by twenty professors." "I expect a challenge in the morn ing," remarks Bob with a grin; and upon being questioned further he tells of the little rumpus the naturalist kick ed up near the entrance of the Grand Continental, and how he was obliged to bring into use some of his western tactics in order to subdue the fel low; which is very amusing to his companion, who leans back and laughs with great gusto. "I know I shall see you two at daggers' points yet, or, to be plainer, facing each other at fifteen paces. There's one point in his favor." "What's that?" demands the other. "He's so small he has more chance of escaping the lead than you have." "Perhaps with another man but I drive nails at that distance, and can take off one of his ears if it pleases me. Do you think this dandy lady killer would look half so distracting if I shortened the length of his nose a trifle?" "Joking aside. Bob, I wouldn't be surprised if you heard from the fel low. He has grit, and that tumble you gave him was enough to arouse his vindictiveness!" "You'll stand by me, Dick, even if I make it bowie-knives to the finish?" "Certainly, only I don't want you to unnecessarily hurt the little chap; I rather fancy his looks, you know. Now. listen while I tell you what hap pened to me." The Sheriff of Secora county turns abruptly around, and looks his com panion In the face. "I thought you had been having an experience. Dick, my boy. Confes sion is good for the soul, they say; so out with it." (To be continued.) PAID $6,000 FOR HIS BRIDE. Miss Kassouf Put Herself Up at Auc tion to Provide for Mother. Six thousand dollars in cash to the girl's mama was the price paid for a wife in Dubois. Penn. Maud Kassouf was the belle of all the Syrian colonies in western Penn sylvania, and there were scores of suirors for her hand. But the girl said she would not marry unless pro vision was made for her mother. Charles Hazey, also a Syrian, senior member of a big confectionery house in Altoona. came to ask for Miss Kas souf's hand. The mother told him there were several others in the field, and it was finally decided to bring to gether the more eligible of the suitors and have an auction. A wealthy young Syrian in the town appeared and began to bid against Ha zey. The bidding was spirited, and finally as a clincher the local Syrian bid 55,000. Hazel at once raised him S1.000, and the girl was "knocked down" to him at $6,000. The cash was paid to Maud's mama. the Rev. F. McGiveny was called in to perform the marriage ceremony, and the couple are now "at home" in Al toona. New York World. Luxury and Crime. A recent English robbery case which reads almost like one of the Sherlock Holmes stories related to the detection of a thief through his fond ness for flowers. The only clew left by the robbers of a house near Northampton was a fragment of a flower, whose petals were scattered over the floor. No flowers of the same sort were grown in the garden of the house robbed or by the neighbors, but an investigation of the floral shops in the nearby town showed that a flower of that sort had been purchased the evening before by a man who was recognized from the description given to be a well known burglar. At the trial it was shown that, al though the night had been warm, the thief, who was of delicate health, had worn a light overcoat, which crushed the petals of the flower beneath, and these had fallen to the carpet when he had opened his coat to stow away the jewels which constituted the great er part of the spoils. Although the clew was a slight one it was correct and the luxury loving crook will have no need of flowers to decorate his broad arrow suit for some time to come. Got Record Premium for Gold. William Thompson, who died the other day at Shelbyville, Ind., aged 77, was known as "the man who sold his gold at $2.75." During the civil way Thompson accumulated $3,100 in gold, which he carried to Indianapolis and sold at a premium of $2.75, netting him $7,525, within 10 cenfs of the highest price ever paid for gold.

An official of a railway once got leave to get married and was given a pass over the road. On his way back he gave the ticket collector his marriage certificate instead of the pass.
