Messrs. Tinkler and Shiels have gone

in to business in Hotel O n t r a l building temporar i ly .

The origin of the fire is uncer ta in , one

theory being t h a t i t may have been s t a r t

ed by defective wire, and it is no t known

just where i t began. The fire d e p a r t m e n t

had some t roub le ge t t i ng o u t t he hose

and, though they worked desperately

they were hindered by being unable t o

ge t a t t he buildings f rom the river be

hind. An explosion, p robab ly caused by

escape of h o t a i r . blew o u t the

f ron t and back of the block. After a

long, hard f ight the firemen dispersed,

believing t h a t t he flames were quenched,

and they b u r s t ou t aga in a b o u t mid-

night . The sheet-iron cover ing of the

building kept the fire d o w n , and fortun-

ately the s t r o n g wind t h a t had been

b lowing f rom the n o r t h w e s t earlier in

the evening had subsided. Otherwise it

would have been impossible In prevent

fur ther spread of the flames.

DWELLING BURNED

Henry Compton's House Destroyed in the Night.

Henry Compton ' s t w o s t o r y f rame

house on the McCarty hill, recently pur-

chased of Mrs. Alice Brown , burned t o

the g round Monday night , t he tire break-

ing o u t a b o u t one o'clock. I t was in-

sured fo r $500, near ly cover ing loss on

the building. A good m a n y of the goods

were saved, though those in tile kitchen

and second floor were entirely lost. It

is believed t h a t the fire s t a r t e d from the chimney.

The family were roused f rom sleep by

D. B. Davidson, t o find their house on lire.

After some delay the fire company

secured the King mill t e am and arrived

on the scene in Time t o prevent spread of

the flames. This required ha rd work , a s

the s t r o n g wind carried s p a r k s and

b rands a g a i n s t the ad j acen t woodshed,

which endangered the D a w s o n home.

The blaze had gained such h e a d w a y t h a t

it w a s impossible t o save the Compton

house, and t he flames were reflected in a

bri l l iant g low on the sky which must have been seen for miles.

The bear was sleek—and of his skhl The man took special note.

" There goes the very thing," said fat, •• My new fur overcoat."

Some such bright thought had struck As he surveyed the man— [the bear

••I'll have U while l e a n ! " l

The man he aimed a rifle ball At Bruin's heart or head ;

But merely peeled a^stripof bark From off the tree instead.

Out rushed the bear upon his foe And ate him bon"! and skin,

And licked the little pieces up Till all was gathered in.

So each got w hat he'd gone to get. On his r espec t ive s p r e e :

S y r u p of F igs h a s c o m e into genera l favor in many millions of well informed families, whose es t imate of its quality and excel lence is based upon personal knowledge and use .

Sy rup of F igs h a s also met with the approval of phys ic ians generally, b e c a u s e they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. W e inform all r enu ta -ble physicians a s to the medicinal pr inciples of S y r u p of Figs, obtained, by ?n original method, f rom certain plants known to them to ac t most beneficially and presen ted in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are u s e d to promcte the p leasant t a s t e ; therefore it is not a sec re t remedy and. hence we are f ree to re fer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of pa ten t medic ines and neve r favor indiscriminate self-medication.

P l e a s e to r e m e m b e r and teach your children also that the genuine S y r u p of Figs a lways has the full n a m e of the C o m p a n y — C a l i f o r n i a Fig S y r u p Co .—pla in ly pr in ted on the front of every package and tha t it is for sa le in bot t les of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon t h e n a m e of 'any other company , do not a c c e n t it. li you fail to get t h e genuine you will not get its beneficial effects . Every family should a lways have a bottle on hand, a s it is equally beneficial for the pa r en t s and the children, w h e n e v e r a laxative remedy is required.

Very cheap round-t r ip t ickets on the first and

third Tuesdays afford a splendid oppor tuni ty for invest igat ion.

How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with your

^ater and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set-tling indicates an

^ unhealthy condi-r tion of the kid-

neys; if it stains ! y o u r ^ n e n 11 i s

X l r l J evidence of kid-ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also

convincing proof that ihe kidneys and blad-der are out of order.

W h a t to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so

often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects Inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra-ordinary effect of S w a m p * R o o t Is soon realized, ll stands the highest for lis won-derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should.have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$ l . sizes.

You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery and a book that tells more about it. both sent absolutely free by mail, address Dr. Kilmer & nomeofHw^n Co., Binghamton. N. Y. When writing men-tion reading this generous offer In this paper.

c h e w than this f inest of fine cut chewing tobacco.

TIGER FINE CUT CHEWING TOBACCO

is always clean and pure, whenever or wherever you get it-—because it's packed in air-tight, dust-proof packages and kept in tin canisters until it readies you. That's why it never contains dust or dirt like the manv tobaccos which come loose in open pails ana tins—that's why Tiger is always fresh, full-flavored and clean.

Every package of Tiger is sealed, so that no substitution ol cheaper tobaccos is possible.

5 CENTS F o r 1 ' oz. (guaranteed by the United States Government) of the best chewing tobacco you have

ever chewed.

(CtyyTt8lit,1IKKV,Vjr Ir, Appteton £ Co.)

C H A P T E R IV.—Continued. Duke consulted his watch and shut

it wi th a vicious snap. He took one look a t t he bottomless . road which led eastward through the swamp, and turned to Chalky.

"Put a saddle on old Beck; sho knows f h a t road a t night. I want to catch the south-bound t ra in a t Roll-ing Forte."

He ran a few yards down the levee and crossed to the store by another plank. T m going to town. Harper ," he called in a t the door. "Look a f t e r things."

"Oh. Mr. Duke." tin4 manager ran •out and protested; "that rise in the river due to hit here about to-morrow, and the levees may break; you oughtn ' t to—"

"Damn it. Harper , I know I oughtn ' t to go, bul I'm going, any-way."

"But, Mr. Duke—" "That ' s enough. Harper ; you are

paid to do what 1 tell you, and when 1 want your infernal advice I'll ask "for it. You and (he whole place may go to the devil for what. I care."

He stamped angrily out of the store. Merritt, the clerk, finished rolling up a bolt of calico, and glanced sullenly "ioward Harper, who was still stand ing where Duke had left him, in Ihe middle of the floor.

Duke's attack on him had been so "vicious and so unexpected, that for a moment or two Harper did not com-prehend; he thought it must be some stupid sort of a joke.

But as the other wheeled and left fhe store. Harper 's face flushed; then it t u m r « very while. He took two impetuous steps toward the door, and stopped. His color came back, and his smile, came back.

"I don'c see how you can take that Mr. Harper," Merri t t said, resentful-ly. leaning across ihe counter.

"1 coukfn't—fiom any other man." The two or three negroes who had

liecn drying their feet around Ihe stove v/rre already slipping out of Ihe hack door—it was not wise for them

"to mir< ftp in while men's quarrels. "Come hack here, hoys." Harper

••all.-I. reremptorily. Ilis authority • ui tl;. nlanlation was at stake, for a whit-! :• -.n in (he swamp must cover every inch of ground he stands on. •ir he mo! hope to control half a rhousab negroes.

Tho i jroos came back reluctantly, keeping their eyes on Ihe door 1 hrougli which their angry master had disappr v cd.

"Roy.- Harper said to them, ""somefh ng must he wrong with Mr. Duke; you know he never talks that way to the meanest nigger on his placc—and you know that I don't lake foolishness from anybody."

"Yassuh, yassuh," Uncle Reggy as-sented. Regulus Jones was "Mister Noel's pet nigger," so the other dar-kles said.

"I t h o did think dat was mighty curyus o' Mister Noel—he rnusser been Vinder pestered In 'Is min'! I spec—" Uncle Reggy stopped; a sud-den s tep on the gallery put a period Jn the middle of his sentence,

Noel Duke reappeared In the door, corduroys, slouch hat, leggings- he plunged on, head down, not looking where ho went. The negroes made ready to rnu. He stopped, looked up,

"Harper ," he said, holding out. his hand, " I made a fool of myself just now; I 'm s o r r y - "

"That ' s all right, Mr. Duke, I didn't f h l n k anything about it. I knew you must be worried about something."

"I am. T must go to Vlcksburg for a few days ; the plantation is entirely in your charge. IT the levee should break, do whatever you think Is neces-snry to pave the stock nnd take care

' of tho tenants . Good-by, Harper; good-by, Merril l . Give these boys a d r ink ; they've been working hard all day. Good n igh t , boys."

Fifteen iv In utes later a man ami mnle turned their backs upon tho river and disappeared through the mists along a road tha t was more passable for boat than beast. Through tho dark and tho mud they floundered on, the sure-footed mule picking her way unerringly to the highest ground.

••I'll go to that cock-flght just to show her t h a t I don't care. Vance is

V rich; ho lives in New York; he can give her—" Then his cheek grew red, evea In tbe blackness of the swamp, tha t he should impute such motives to Anita Cameron. He had only to think of her clear eyes and broad f a i r forehead to bo ashamed.

"Tha t old woman Is a t the bottom of this, I'd break every bono in her body if she wore only a man."

He shu t his lips very t ight; and the tntfle stnmbled on.

CHAPTRR V. TUB MAN THAT DID NOT CARE. Tbe bl t ternois of n i f h t had come

upon Noel Duke as suddenly a s an eclipse a t morning extinguishes the newly risen sun. He floundered in a rayless swamp, crossing bridges that he could not see. t rus t ing to his mule, and s t ruggl ing through the sloughs. Blue mud spattered up and stained him—stained him in body, and filled his soul with evil thoughts. Even the chivalric tradit ions of his race could not prevent him f rom swear ing to himself: "I t ' s that old woman— t h a t old woman."

There is no swamp at Vlcksburg, no slough of morbid thought, no bot-tomless road for man and beast to1

flounder in. The brilliant February sunshine glistened upon her glory-guarded hills, crowning her lordly crests wi th the halo of heroic yester-years. There 's a lofty deed on every summit, a radiant glamour upon her sparkl ing lake, a mellow reverence in every valley where unmarked graves lie hid. There 's a holiness, an uplif t , an exaltation In these treas-ures of the siege-encircled city, in these memories of the. river-girdled town. i

Bu t Noel Duke was in the same surly humor when, a t ten o'clock the next morning, he opened the door to Joseph Bal four ' s law office.

Joe was in the act of tu rn ing away from tho telephone. Ho saw Duke and began to smile.

"Hello. Noel, you're on time, I s e e -thought you were due to drop in pret-ty soon. I t 's a queer coincidence."

"What coincidence?" "I t ' s right peculiar—" Joe began

drumming on his desk with a pencil, tha t a lways maddened the other. " I t ' s right peculiar. I say it 's a queer co-incidence. whenever she comes to Vlcksburg you happen along a l tbe same t ime."

"Oh. you mean Miss Cameron? Is she here?"

Joo threw back his head and

tough-look Ing fellow in a red sweater. They climbed into his buggy and drove away.

Anita saw the whole proceeding. She smiled and went on chatting.

Joe Balfour watched them both— the man and the gir l—from his win-dow. and chuckled: "Did anybody ever see sucji an idiot. He needn't try to fool tha t girl, she reads him like a Mother Goose book."

CHAPTER VI. THE CRIME.

.Tee Balfour slept soundly a f t e r the cotillion. His room was on the ground floor, scarcely ten feet f rom the sidewalk. The usual noises of the n ight did not d is turb him.

About daylight he was roused by a scraping against the outer wall. A man 's head and shoulders rose sud-denly above, the widow-sill and dropped again.

Joe slipped out of bed, cocked his pistol and hid behind the curtains. "He's dragging tha t bench under-neath the window."

Joe watched the man outside, work-ing away, ut terly unconscious o t be-ing seen.

"My Lord," he thought, " l can' t shoot the fellow without giving him some kind of a chance. I'll just wait till he opens the window, then knock him in the head." Wi th tha t purpose in mind, he crept to the fire-place, picked ujl the poker, and resumed his position.

Presently the man's fingers clutched Ihe window-sill, and he began draw-ing himself up. The slouch ha t reap-peared. The man outside was whi te He stood erect and fumbled at the sash, but could not open it. Then to Joe's great astonishment the mac tapped on Ihe pane, and called:

"Joe! Joel wake up; let me in; it't Noel."

"NoelI" Joe exclaimed, imtting his

"FOll HEAVEN'S SA K h!" laughed—laughed until that funny lit-tle bald patch got redder than Duke's face,

"Joe, shu t up; can't a fellow get tired of the swamp and come to town to see a cock-fight without you mak-ing all that fuss? I haven' t played a game of poker for four months; haven't touched a drop; haven't done a thing but worry with niggers and high water. Come along; my buggy is walling down-stairs, and I want you to go lo the chicken-fight."

Joe shook his head; the other man Insisted.

"That black-breasted red of mine, [Scrapper, is to be pitted In the sec-ond hattle against a Georgia shawl-neck of Buster Brady's, You'd better come and see It—It'll be a great light."

"Can't go," Joe nald, regretfully. "I've got to work—got to 'buy shoes j for Sally an" the <•111111111,' as old Judge Hillings used to say."

"Come along, Joe - c o m e along, don't ho a chump; a little sport will do you good. I he glanced out of the window, stopped short, and snatched his hut, "Good-by, old fellow, sorry you won't go," and he bolted out.

Joe Balfour walked to tho window and looked down upon the street. He knew perfectly well what, he was going to see. Miss Anita Cameron and Miss Alice Ashton were stand-ing in front of the bookstore across the street. Duke emerged from tho building on Ibe sidewalk below, nnd did not turn his eyes toward them, but carefully took a position where Anita would be sure lo see him.

There he stood, looking uncomfort-able, then moved off a few steps and joined a noisy group of men men with glaring neckties, diamonds, dls-reputable-Iooklng sweaters, and some with tail silk hats. Many of them flourished money between their fin-ders nnd offered bets. An omnibus halted nt the curb, a dozen men scrambled in, calling for other lo fol-low. Several ran back to get a Inst

drink. Presently Duke came up the street

again, arni in arm with a particularly

face close lo the window. "Go around to the door—"

"No; let mc In; here; qu ick!" Joe unlocked the sash, raised the

window, and Noel Duke scrambled across the sill, looking behind him as If he were pursued. Even In the dark Joe could see t h a t h is hands were trembling, and his face was very white.

"For heaven's sake, Noel, what 's the mat ter? You scared me to death."

Duke dropped Into a cha i r without a word, and drew a long breath of re-lief. Joe s t ruck a match.

"Please don't light the gas," Duke begged. The voice did not sound like his; all i ts snap and buoyancy had gone.

Joe coaxed the fire Into a bla/.e, Huke's eyes following him vaguely without Interest.

After Joe had drawn on his trou-sers and drosslng-gown. ho laid his bund upon Duke's shoulder. "Well, boy, what 's the trouble?"

Then steady old Joe waited; there was something exquisitely lender In his a t t i tude toward the younger man.

He was still s tanding there, looking down, when nuke began to speak, without tu rn ing his head or lifting his eyes.

"Joe. do you remember last night how you begged me to go to that cotillion, and then come home with you? I knew I ought lo do It: bu t | I was hard-headed; I had my own way. Joe. I killed a man last night."

"What ! Who was he? What was II about?"

At Home In Any P a r t of the Eartlv Their Services in War fa re Will

Be of High Value to Coun-tr ies Employing Them.

The first fire of a now a r m y has been l ighted; the world has a new fighting force, the fighting force of " the lost legion." The legion of f ront iersmen, says the London Sketch, have made their first bivouac, not , in-deed. as they would have wished it. under a sky reddened by the glare of battle, but tha t they might not i fy in t ime of peace tha t they will be ready in t ime of str ife. They are becoming an arm nf imperial defense and they aim at being the intelligence branch

I of the service when the god of war calls for sacrifice. They represent the

| t rue frontiersmen, men who have | worked, hunted or fought iu wild countries o r a t sea. the brotherhood of the camps. Guerrilla tact ics are second na ture to them, and so it is tha t they will ac t a s guides, scouts, pioneers and mobile forces for raiding. Wherever their numbers a rc sufficient they will have a command.

lypical of all a re their founder and honorary secretary, Fron t ie r sman Roger Pocock, and the London com-mandant , Mr. De Hora. Both a re born adventurers—we use the word in its older senses, deprecat ing the fashion t h a t has distorted the te rm into mean-ing some form of skunk. Frontiers-man Pocock has been many tilings. Ho was clerk In the cable service, a laborer on a f ru i t farm and a general f a rm in Ontario, insurance clerk, sur-vey hand, "boots" in a hotel or nav-vies, milkman's bookkeeper, log haul-er , railroad navvy, book agent, peddler of photographs, dairyman and trooper in the nor thwest police—all in two years. While t rooper ho took par t In the forced march of 42 miles a day fo r seven days frfom Regina to Pr ince Albert , in a vain endeavor to prevent the nor thwest rebellion, but i t was not h is for tune to finish, save under •the Red Cross. Half way he was frozen and so was invalided with a pension.

Next he was civil servant , t rader , war correspondent, missionary, sea-man with Yokohama pirates, robbing the warehouses of seal rookeries; f r ee lance journal is t to British Columbia, special correspondent a t Kootnay min-ing camp, then a new creat ion; pho-tographer, keeper of a cigar s tand, painter of photographs and newspaper agent in the Blue mountains. Then home called and ho s tar ted as a nov-elist , but it was not long before ho was back in Ihe wilds as a cowboy in Alberta, gold miner and captain of a pack train. A little la ter he placed to his credit what. Is probably the longest lone ride on record—from Fort McLeod, Canada, lo the City of Mex-ico—3,(500 miles of rough counutry, covered in 200 days. In the South Af-rican war he was in turn In a loot-ing corps (unpaid), whoso business It was to capture Boer food supplies, and in t he national scouts. I l ls most re-cent. expedition was up the west coast of Greenland.

Mr. De Hora, Ihe well-known mining engineer, who was born on a stock ranch in California and brought up as a bowboy, has a unique record in tha t a t tho early ago of ":i he stole a bat-llshlp. He had been before the mas t , pearling In the south seas, and, scent-ing fu r the r adventure, he threw In his lot with a revolutionary leader and, aided by a boat 's crew speedily gath-ered together, contrived to steal the war vessel Huascar from Peru.

In her he committed piracy on the high sens by stopping a British t r a m p steamer, with tho result t h a t he had to fight II. M. S. Shah. He was badly beaten, but escaped, only to find It necessary to surrender to the rul ing

I government. His next expedition,1

' made In par tnership with tho former revolutionary leader, ended In the dis-covery of tho famous Maghellan t r eas tire-$2,000,000 In a sunken Spanish galloon of the seventeenth c e n t u r y -spoil promptly confiscated by a schooner sent by the Argentine gov-ernment , whoso capital Mr. Do Hora entered a little later at t he head of 300 cowboys from Ihe Rio Negro. It was he also who led Col. North 's ex-ploring expedition from Brazil to Ecuador. Thus adventure followed ad-venture until tho South African war broke out. At tha t lime he was act ing as mining engineer In Johannesburg and, seeing the s la te the city was likely to get Into, he raised a corps of COO neutra ls lo act as armed police. These did their work until the arr ival of Lord Roberts, when their organizer formally handed over Ihe place to the care of Capt. Waller KIrton, also, by tho way, of the l /mdon command. Surely a dlfllcult record to eclipse.

CURIOUS DEBT COLLECTING.

Vlethods Adopted by Governments of Various Countries.

A debt collecting agency whldi is run a s a part of LHE regular public postal s juleni is the newesL "imiux^e-meut" of the postoliices of Austria. Despite the novelty of the enterprise tl;e plan has worked admirably, so UiML millions of dollars are <olUrleil uniLuaily by the postmen tliron, limit the Austr ian -empire. The system Is very simple. Suppose a tradesuian iu Vienna has an account due innn a customer in, say, such a di; "in town as Budapest, which he \vi 1. • iu collect. Distance does not n ia t t . r iu the least. He merely sends Hu tu the pcstollice in the capital, WM-,, « it is at once transmit ted to the j n 1-oflice in Budapest. There UK I ; 1 -.an presents it to th-e debtor, cdlicci:: ti.-j ct; :h and remits it to lheVi< ima 1^:1 ollice, whence it is deliveied tt) the t radesman by postrnan.

In the event of payment bein;,r re-fused, which, of course, somet mes happens, the creditor is proniptly ap-prised of the fact, and valuable time is thus frequently saved.

Of the enterpr ises which have been devised fur collcctlug debts there is no end. A government collecting agency would put an end to many exceedingly piclinesqiie sdieines. 1 no recent cane of the. Turkish govcrnmeut is naturally recalled in this •onnec-Uon. Hie Turkish government is no-torious lor diluiory payment of Ha olllclals. About a year ago the Pasha of a district in Palestine, applying foi his salary, was ordered from Constan. tinopie to collect it locally iu tlu slmpo ol a new tax. One town refused o pay its proportion of the stun de i aad-ed, whereupon the ingenious Govern-or ordered ten (lays' strict qn iratilme, under pretence that there was a case of cholera in tiie place. .\ military cordon was set round the town, trade ut terly put an end to, aii<l soon . .0 unhappy and starving i idmbiiaiJs wero only too glad to pay up.

A uni«iue way of collecting wages due was that of a bar tender who wait/.d until his employer had given orders for the saloon to be closed ami had gone homo. Then he ojieneu Lhe pi ice a,;viin a.nd did another In-ur s trade. Deducting from his takings the inoney due to himself, he U ft |!:e test in an <: velopo behind the coun-ter with a note explaining what lie had done, and then lelt the town.

Landlords whose property lies in tue lower quarters of great cities olien flnd much dilliculty In collecting tueir •weekly renta. One who owns n num-ber of tem'ments and who has once or twice been ronglily h a n d k d by his tenants has resorted to the expedient of hir ing a stalwart young ex-barlciul-cr, who. i! broad shoulders and deep chest render him an awkward subji.'ct 10 inte i icre with. This man boldly en-•ters a tenem-fnt and blows a slirlli \Nhistle, the blast of which is usually jiuPicient to bring out the dellnqueiita with their handluls of small change.

A similar experiment tried in I 011-don did not work so well. An Italian who owed a house in Saffron Hill let oae floor lo a tenant who, af ter a time, not only tailed to pay his debts, but a h o refused to clear out. The land-lord theiciipou entered the house with a barrel organ and began to play it on his stairs, noplng byi sheer din to 011 In r drive his rec alcitrant tenant out or lorce Inm to jwy up. He stuck to till:- c!i . j i i i j , d task for four hours <'11 end. but the only result was m a t
