A NC 13v gliza1 [ISABELLA > (Copyright, 1892 ?nd 1893, bj CHAPTER XXXI. | A GHOSTLT AVENGER. About midway between the entrance to the Santiago. Canyon and the pictufesque residence of Mrs. Travers stands a very dilapidated, tumbledown old shanty, known as the Mexioan'B hut. Whoever tho Mexican was to whom it originally belonged, and from whom it inherits this by no me%ps distinctive appellation, he took particularly good care that it should Inherit nothing else. The inside of the hut was as barren of anything as any four walls could possibly be; and though, occasionally, a centipede, a - ?-1 ?o onnminn green anu gmi>eriug uw u, ? w, % tarantula, or even a lurking rattler, on a voyage of discovery from the adjacent rocky hills and mountains, might invade its solitude, there was, as a rule, no living thing so forlorn as to think of taking up its abode there for any length of time. This was, no doubt, why it seemed, notwithstanding all other disadvantages, the very place most suited to the purpose of an enterprising couple who wished to explore tho canyon with a seorecy whioh, for some days, they had sought in vain. "This is the plaoe, Olive," said Lord Clarence Stanley to his charming young wife. "It is entirely off theordinary route; it is not more than half a mile distant from the spot; our presence here will be totally unsuspected, and as the man who drove us to the entrance of the canyon has returned to Santa Ana, and supposes that we are cranky tourists from the East who prefer to walk rather tban ride to make our visit to the JL'ravers people, we shall be absolutely undisturbed here." "And now, Clarenco, how soon will it be safe to set out in search of the hiding-plaoe?" The man consulted his watch and declared with some surprise that it was already five o'clock. "Later than I thought, Olive; and as I have to carry that heavy pick-axe and spade, perhaps we may as well start forth now. I don't think we shall meet any one, and the place being utterly secluded, and, to judge by the appearanoe of it, never visited, I can begin work at once." "The pick and spade have a rather ghastly look," said Olive, while her husband tied up the lunch basket and BAmirfld tha imnlements for his work. "It is mightily suggestive of gravedigging, isn't it! You will need to be careful not to turn up the buried papa of your saintly Dolores instead of the other treasure. He must have been buried somewhere about here." ll*'Stop talking of her! You are not fit to speak her J name, Olive," said the man with brutal frankness. His wife turned a furious look upon him and bit her lips hard to repress the bitter retort that rose to them. What was the matter with him? He had been strangely defiant and independent all day. Well, she would wait till tlie business in hand was safely over, and then she would let him know who was maBter. Meantime shft wnuld nresentlv find a -wav of administering a gently and timely rebnke. "Well, then," she said amiably, 'let's be going; but this time I hope there is no mistake, Carlos; this time we are really on sure groundsl The real Richmond thia time, eh?:* Five have we slain instead of him!" "Olive," he said with an air of serene tranquility, that his wife had already learned to dread, "I want to remind you once more that you have a bad habit of forgetting my name. It comes of your infatuation about that dirty scamp of a fellow, Carlos Mendoza; and by the way, speaking of him, here is something that may in^Arnat vnii " Ho drew a folded newspaper from his breast-pocket and gave it to her, indicating a particular paragraph. He Btrode through the doorwav ai?d out into the bright light. Olivo followed him, the paper rustling nervously in her hand; it had been too dark within the hut to see the print clearly, and she paused a moment now, with the full light on the page, nd her glance roved quickly through the paragraph which her husband had pointed out to her: MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY. gaocsdlkbb Suspicion Against t&i Unknown Cablob Mendoza. Baron Yon Holmholtz Found Dead On His Wife's Grave In Greenwood?Suicide? Sbot Through the Heart?A Letter Found On His Per3on in Which He Con. fesaed Himself tho Murderer Through CeRlousy of His Beautiful Wife?His Owu Death, and Confession tho Expiation of His Crime. A Bigh that was almost a groan of despairing disappointment on the part of the reader accented the conclusion of this unexpected paragraph. The man, who was a little .way ahead, turned and looked at bis wife, and seeing her pale, almost livid, with wide, wild eyos, he smiled pleasantly. ''Clarence," she murmured, "then it was not Van Tassel after all?" "Evidently not. Van was a blind ?ool at all times, and ho must have dropped the dagger there when he made the first attempt. The baron piokod it up, and apparently knew how and when to use it." Olive ground her little white teeth together. She had forever lost the hold she had so triumphed in possessing over her husband, who threw back his head and made a pretense of loosening his collar button as if suddenly relieved of an uncomfortable pressure about the neck. They both glanced around, and a cool breeze from the west blew toward them. . "See, the sun is sinking," said i Olive. "What a lurid, fiery sunset, I and what a strange, bnlphurous smell L the air has, though it is blowing B cooler already." "It always turns cool here immediotely the suck sinks," returned Staulev, again shouldering his pick and HBauDade. ...."California beats the world >fl {reasdre. D-d -?t> I )VEL.' betlx ?inter.

Can those be figures moving on that mountain? Teople or cattle, which is it?" Olive looked as he directed, and distinctly saw two figures, a man and a woman, on the brow of a mountain that in the clear, still, deceptive light, seemed but a few yards away; and instinctively she drew closer to her husband. "If they should see us?" she whispered. < "They can't; we are concealed in this hollow; their figures stand ont against the sky. They must be in want of exercise to take such a climb in this heat." The slight figure of the woman moved and turned toward the man?it was Dolores?and at that moment she was saying: "Mrs. Travers managed it all, and I have scarcely known anything about it. She has been so kind. Dear mamma?it was a dream I never hoped to realize, and to-morrow they will place all that remains of her in the same grave with papa; it is so right and fitting that it should be tomorrow, because that is the anniversary of papa's death." "The 12th of Ootober, is it, dearest? That will indeed be a fitting anniversary. Perhaps the troubled spirit of our Indian ancestor will rest irom inauime. "Perhaps so," said Dolores, seriously. "I hope you won't think it very fanciful, Harold, but I want to walk to the sycamores to-night." "Tf you are equal to it, Dolores; it is bo very sultry." "Not more so that it has been for several days," she answered, reassuringly. "What we call earthquake weather in California?only the earthquakes seldom oome when we are looking for them. We will go by this path round the mountain, and so down into the valley." She put her hand within his, and they disappeared round the brow of the mountain. "There! They have gone!" eaid Olive, who had been silently watching the two dark figures, like silhouettes against the clear evening light. "I am not sure if they were real or merely visionary, Clarence;.for whom do you think they looked like to me?" "I am sure I can't guess," he returned. "But here we are, at last. Behold, there are the mystio sycamores. Count them for yourself. One, two, three! So there are twelve, aren't there?" "Yes," responded Olive, in her suddenly awakened interest,forgetting all about the two figures that had seemed so strangely familiar. At last ? * a xt. _ . 3 ?

And she ran quickly forward, quite oblivious of her late fatigne; and looking closely at the separated trunks all growing from a single root.fshe quickly found the one on which had been carved the Indian woman's figure. "There she is!" cried Olive, in triumph. "The poor Gold-Flower herself, unhappy victim to a wasted love! And only see, Clarence! Some one has shot an arroj^ straight through her heart. An Indian arrow it must have b&n. Hotf strong and tipped with some hard metal! The point is standing straight out from the wood?" She eat down upon a little mound at a distance, all unconscious that it was the grave of the father whose memory was bo dearly oherished by Dolores; and from that, his last resting-place, she watohed har husband strike his pick-axe into the ground that covered the treasure of the buried Mendozas.

Bat, on a sudden, he uttered a strange, hoarse cry, and the spade dropped from his hand ; a ohill, cardling, cold sensation, as if ioe had been dropped down his back, made him shiver; and then he stood gaping, stupidly silent, horribly gaping straight ahead of him on through the gathering dusk; his gaze seemed turned to fire, as if it would burn through the thing at which it looked. "Clarence! Clarence!" cried Olive, as she rushed to him and seized his stiff, motionless arm. "What ip it? What is the matter? Are you hurt?" "There! There!" whispered the hoarse voice.

THE TWELFTH OF OCTOBER, 1892. Dolores aud Moray had almost reached the grou*p of sycamores when the first earthquake shock was felt. They had loitered, with the indifference of lovers as to the flight of time, on their slow and winding walk; and it was the purple dusk of the California twilight, soon to be pieroed by the silvery splendor of an earlyrising moon. But as yet no moon was visible; there was a strange, still oppressiveness in the air; the dusky twilight seemed to deepen and thicken, and Dolores suddenly stopped and clung to tbe arm on which she had been leaning, while a slight shudder, as of some impending calamity, shook her from head to foot. "What a curious nightf There is something vaguely threatening and awful in this atmosphere. The moon is surely very late in showing her fair, bright face to-night." m "She is always kind to lovers," said Moray, laughingly, and stooping to press his hps on the rippling, siikeu hair that was being blown against his face. A slight breeze had risen suddenly, but it was not cool; it seemed, indeed, hot and laden with a sulphurous odor. "What is that sound?" asked Dolcres. "Do you hear it, Harold? It is like some heavy weight pounding the ground." - -A iL. _1 L "les, it is. .remaps iue guuBt walks to-night. This is her anniversary," he answered lightly. "Bnt she can hardly be digging a grave. Ghosts are more inclined to get oat of them. That is sorely the sonnd of a pick-axe." "Oh, Harold! Harold 1" Dolores gave a quick, sharp cry of sudden irrepressible terror, and her lover's arms clofeed around her with the instinct of, protection; and then, for what might have been a minute or an hour, they stood dinging to each other, while the ground seemed no longer solid earth, but a quaking bog. It shook, it rocked, it trembled?and then slowly it settled into quiet and was still?awfully still, leaving on the minds of those who had felt the shock a provoking impression of having suffered from some hnge, practical joke. "I suppose this is what you call an earthquake, in this-astonishing country, " said Lord Harold, presently. "Yes," said Dolores rather tremulously; "I don't think it is over; it will come again." The words had scarcely passed her lips when a second shock almost flung them off the ground. It wan much riTore violent than the first. There was a wild confusion in the air; spots of light seemed to dart like electric flashes, to and fro; great cracks and fissures opened in the gronnd; there was the crash as of trees uprooted. And through all thin noisy outbreak of nature's hidden passions came the sound of wild, excited, human voioeB, and one prolonged thrilling shriek. After that, another long silenoe. Dolores did not speak for many minutes, nor did her oompanion; but he held her, calmly, closely, strongly to his breast, and though she trembled it was only a nervous tremor. He knew that she was not afraid. Suddenly the air cleared, ap if dome great wing had oleft it asunder, and the moon's splendor Jbnrst forth with a light almost as brilliant aB that of day. "It is over now." said Dolores. "Let us go on. Harold. Ob, look there! Tho sycamores have been torn up by the roots, and the trunks lie strewed upon the ground!" TO BE CONTINUED. Sparrow Hunting; as a BuslneM. Sparrow hunting has become so profitable in Kent County that men have now gone into the business that heretofore was conducted only for boys. One of the moiit persistent hunters is Charles H. Sarow, of Walker Township, who one day drew in bounty from the county $8.50, and X 1 1 -X CA A _ ^X1 iwu uajB iaier ^IO.UU. nputiier spurrow exterminator is Fred E. McBride,^who the other day drew 88.50 in bounties, and more recently 814. But the gamiest sparrow hunter of all is Ernest Cutler, of this city, who follows the trail the year round. Last year the county paid 8275 to Cutler in sparrow bounty. Just so sure as the suu goes down Cutler appears, just before.5 o'clock at the sashier's window In the clerk's office with his order from the oounty clerk. During the legislative session ot 1885 the State authorized a bounty oi two cents per head upon all "birds known as the common English sparrow," which are considered a detriment to the country. A few years ago several Western States placcd a bounty on hawks and wolves. Immediately the mountaineers began raising hawks and' wolves. It was a thrifty business, as the county pay was SI per head for hawks and 88 per head for wolves. In this State at present there is a bounty of 83 per i head on wolves, but the woods are so J devoid of the shy animals that no ono ; cares to hunt for the bounty.?Grand j Rapids (Mich.) ? * I f \ ) I f f ' f 3 * S<S>^flE CCtIONE^IE ^^^tcrct Society VThoge Ob THE "Boxers," or "Righteousness and Peace Fist Society," as th'ey bave been called, represent the periodical revolt of Chinese conservatism against t.be influx of foreign influence and foreign methods. They originated with the people of theVvcst.rn provinces, largej ly in Shantung, who looked aghast as ! they saw foreigners coming in and j taking by force what they considered their own patrimony. Murmurings grew on every Land. This came to the knowledge of the Manchu leaders, already wondering how they were to hold their own against the twenty millions of young Chinese who. during the brief reform administarrion, had acquired a taste of Western life with Its opportunities and ambitions. It was not sufficient to gain control of the Government, replace the aggressive Emperor by the reactionary Empress Dowager, secure the dismissal | and flight of the reform leaders and hold thp machinery in their hands. The poison of reform had spread all over the country, and was constantly CHINESE GT7X CBEW WITH FIELD PIECE. being instilled into the people in num-berless ways. The only effective method was, to expel the foreign element, eradicate it altogether. Hence they looked with favor upon the new movement; encouraged it secretly, guarded it from interference, without, however, patronizing it openly.

There must have been shrewd leaders among the insurgents. They took special pains, for the most part, to avoid open collision with European Governments. The foreigners themselves, while aimed at, were reached by the peculiarity Chinese method of indirection. Their persons, with one exception, were not touched. It was their followers that felt the blow. Missionaries were left in safety, but native Christians were butchered. The moveineutgrew,and the crowd became more open in its manifestations.

In 1880 the Republicans chose him for State Treasurer of Iowa, and re-elected him in 1882. After this he served three terms in Congress, leaving his position there to become Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Brazil. From this his advancement to the important post at Pekin was rapid. He is ranted as one of the ablest of American representatives in foreign countries. The Demand Fur Baboons. The baboons and chimpanzees are ferocious and hard to handle, but bring good prices and there is always a demand for them. The opening of new zoological gardens throughout tbe United States has increased the trade in monkeys; but the American circus has always offset the greater number of zoos in Europe and has made this country a good monkey market. The clown and the monkeys are the two indispensable circus adjuncts. The rest of the outfit may be thin spread and unsatisfactory, but if the monkey and the clowns are !n good working order, the children, at least, will get their money's worth. So the manager of even the smallest traveling circus keeps his monkey cages full, and, as the exposure kills off the animals rapidly, he lias to be constantly replenishing the stock. It is hard on the monkeys, but the making of the dealers. A Trolley Line In Mlniatnre. What is probably the smallest working electric* railway in the country is under construction at Macon, Mo.
