A shot tired set bin heart beating wildly, and he turned sick at strife and carnage. 1IH pulse bouts averaged 1)5 per minute and bis heart turned cold every time a Summons for arrest was placed In Ids bauds. Ho experienced a sensation of uervous dread ?ach time he swung bimsoir upon the bneU of his high spir ited horse. Every sudden Bound con veying presage of danger thrilled him with fright. Ills disposition was high Strung, sensitive and unalterably timid. And yet "Rr.d" Conrad was known as the coolest and most courageous sheriff In this territory. He had attained this reputation by a dally and hourly strug gle with bis whole moral force against his natural weakness. Ills fear of ?hin ger, groat as it was, bad been subordi nated to a greater fear lest bis falling tie known. How to hide his cowardice from the world was his one aim. With a cold fear In Ids heart tie sought dan ger with the eagerness of one who lov ed Its every phase. Quiet, persistent, plodding in his way, without any of the western da.sh and audacity belong ing to most men in his occupation, he continually Sought the closest risks and hazards, driven by an abnormal desire to appear fearless. Men who had no conception of the moaning of the word "fear" sometimes stood apart, aghast at the man's daring, and admired him. Apparently without the slightest ex citement, almost sullen of aspect, he trailed desperate criminals to their ren dezvous, engaged in combat against mighty odds and waged such relentless war upon desperadoes and outlaws that his fame as an upholder of law and order was spread far and w ide. Radcllff Conrad kept his secret well. Not a man In Slskhvah county had ever soon him Ii I Itch from his duty, and tales wore told In saloons and camps of bis Intrepidity ami recklessness. The sheriff's personal appearance aided him. He was strongly and finely formed. He possessed a blond head of classic mold and a steel blue eye under good control. His inward struggles kept him at a tension that gave htm a reserved and BOtUCWhat preoccupied manner, and his every action seemed the result of deliberation Instead of Im pulse. The giving away to Impulse was the thing he was trying to avoid. He folt that some day his moral cour age would fall him and he would stand stripped to the gaze of his friends the COWnrd that ho knew himself to he. No monkish ascetic ever scourged his fleshly sins as Hndellff Conrad did his one egregious failing. How well he succeeded In triumphing over It his fame In Lava Canyon and indeed in the mouths of men as far as the sage brush grew to east and west attested. There came one cruel day when the sheriff was forced to apply the whip to hl? tortured spirit with double force. The town of Lava Canyon was built on a stretch of plain sloping down to a river from the exit of a mountain gulch. Within this gulch was a tangled Wlldness. Two miles back from the town It converged to a llssure half a mile deep like a sword out cleaving the hills. The sides for Its whole extent were inaccessible except to the rattle snakes that made their dons among the bowlders. M ithin the edge of the gulch where the densely wooded sides began to straighten to steeper angles stood tho white painted cottage of Emmet lteed, the postmaster and leading deal er In hardware, cutlery, arms and am munition. Here beside tho mountain Btream and among the moss grown rocks played the Juvenile Heeds, little more than rushes in size, watched over more or less carefully by Hoadlcea, aged 20, eldest daughter of the house. To these confines late one afternoon came Arizona Dan, worst man In tho county, after breaking half a thousand dollars' worth of mirrors and glass ware In the principal places of enter tainment and Introducing sundry Bings of lead Into various citizens, to tbolr groat bodily anguish. Han was not too drunk to entertain a wholesome fear of Had Conrad, and It was his Inten tion to conceal himself until darkness should lend him cover to escape. On being apprised of those events the sheriff of the eounty, recognizing his duty, prepared to effect Dan's cap ture. A bravo man In his place who properly estimated tho value of a good citizen's life In comparison with the vi tal spark of a degenerate like Arizona Dan as a furtherance of the survival of the littest Idea would have summon ed a posse and by moral force of num bers WOllld have seenred tin? surrender of the offender without risk of blood shod. Hadcllff Conrad was not the man to do this. He shunned all ap pearance t.f lack of courage, ns he de sired In his heart to shun the danger. "What anus did he bnvoV" asked the sheriff of some men who had soon Ari zona Dan's retreat to the gulch. "Nary a one," suld a saloon keeper who had suffered from the fugitive's leonoelasin. "He loft both his guns in my place." The Sheriff unbuckled his revolver and shoved It across the counter. "Keep that for me," he said. "I'll go and got Dan." He passed slowly down tho Street, walking In the direction of tho gulch, and the men gazed nftor him admir ingly. "Never knew what boln nfrnld was, Had never!" said the mall carrier. "He 'US born that o-wny," said the county clerk. "A man as ain't got no ?keer In him don't deserve no credit fur bavin sand. He wouldn't take his gun along 'cause Dan had loft hls'U. With a creotur like Dan It 'pears to me that's a lectio reckless. Dan over WelghS Had a mat lor of 26* pound the very least." In the gulch things were as usual to nil appearances, The little mountain brook that dashed down the steep rocks purled li tho deep shade and sent out diamond ItnshcH where stray flecks of sunlight dived into It, and the birds In the redwood trees whistled away as though there was no such in harmonious and degraded thing as Ari zona Dan somewhere below trying to concoaj his desecrating presence, Tim Illllu LI.Is were ?'

In fact, there was nothing lu all creation, with or without life, that had ever caused her a (pin I in or a tremor. She regarded robbers as vub gar pei sons heiicatb notice, serpents, horned toilds, mice and tilltl monsters as uiiluieresting mid uuterrlfylng ver min too liisigiillicnut to dread. Her se cret ambition, cherished in good faith until she uns 18, had been to dress In man's clothes and travel round the world selling soap, or diamonds, or patent quartz crushers ? anything would do. Since sin- was 20 her Ideas had toned dowu to a firm resolve to bo prlinn donna of an opera troupe, and the glllcll had for many months echoed daily wurhliugs that for clear ness and volume, If not melodiousness, surpassed easily any voice In Lava Canyon. The form within the crinkling white musllll was a storage battery of Impetuous hie and force that needed continually some object Upon which to exhaust Its energy. As Boadiccn swum,' In the grape vine, some 300 yards up the gulch from the house, she turned her ga/.O idly to ward a thick clump of bushes and saw an eye with a good deal of red In the normally white portion of it looking at her between the leaves. She sat boll upright on the vino, and as it appeared to bo a man's eye her hand without any special volition of her brain went to the knot of hair at the back of her bead, smoothed It a little and thrust in the pins securely. "Come out of there," she said. Red faced and heavy eyed from drink, Arizona Dan, hitching up his revolvorless belt, shuffled his huge form through tho flexible branches of tho bushes Into the path. "Sh-sh-shl" he said, his heavy face folding into a dull smile Intended to be reassuring, "i ain't a-goln to hurl you, miss.'' "Hurt me!" said .Miss Reed con temptuously. "I should think not.

Arizona Dan's lumbering attempt at compliment produced no effect Boadl cea regarded him sternly with un swerving, disapproving eyes. "You don't want to be loafing around those diggings," she said, substituting tin? local form of parlance for her ordi narily more elevated stylo of conversa tion as being more worthy of her au dience. "You are not afraid, ure you?" With Indulte disdain. "I ain't afraid," satd Arizona Dan, Shifting his feel lllleasily, "except of belli took. 1 cant light the Whole town." "Is any one a I t# r you V" "If they ain't, they will he. Rad Conrad's in town, and" Arizona Dan broke oft with an oath ami looked dowu I he steep pathway. "Hero he comes now." he muttered.

Arizona Dan drew a iiim&^uch bowlo knife from the leg of his hrtbt. "Come and got me," he said, with a grin and a suggestive upward movement of his right band.

The sheriff's hand was like a steel clamp, and when the pain grew unbearable Arizona Dan dropped (ho knife. When the sheriff heard it ring on the rocks, he released lbe wrist suddenly and laid Iiis left forearm across Dan's throat.

A correspondent of the Manufacturers' Record, who has spent a mouth of travel aud observation in the South ami South west, Hods everywhere in thai part of the country a feeling of prosperity, with merchants and manufacturers, railroad mon and planters, farmers and men who work for day's wages having smiles on their faces and money in their pockets and sharing in the belief that never he fore has the South been so well oil'. The impression prevails that the good times now prevailing will not cud until there has been a development ol the South's resource!! approaching the advancos made in other parts of the country, lu analyzing the situation the correspond out gives due credit to ten cunt cotton, accompanied by a diversification of crops, to the confidence of the people burn of achievement, and to the conse quent encouragement to greater exer tion. He gives a glance at the strong position gamed In cotton manufacturing and the irou trade and says : " But there arc other lines in which an important development is going on about which there is not so great popular knowledge In railroad building the South and Southwest now show a grca* degree of activity, but if anyone will take even a casual survey of the map of the section it will become apparent that railroad building down here is by no means complete. There arc several North and South lines of great inipoi tanco, and which probably will meet all requirements for many years to come, but an examination will show large areas wholly devoid of transportation facilities. And \ < t in many of these sections there are vast forests of the Quest timbor, minerals of great variety aud commercial value, and land which when cleared will m?ke as good farms as lie OUldooi'8. Already there are nu merous undertakings on foot in the way of huildiug small branch lines to open up tracts of the character named, and it it) evident that here w ill be a rich Hold for development work by both railroad constructors and real estate operators Take Mississippi for instance. OIT the line of the railroads there are thousands and thousands of acres of timber which will cut from 10,(00 to 120,000 (eel to the acre, and when cleared Ihey w ill produce a minimum of a hale of cotton to the acre, as we'd as other crops These lauds may he bought for from it! to $10 per acre. The soil is an alluvial deposit and like the famous black lands of Texas, which now bring from $30 to $50 per acre, these lands can be worked for yoars without using any fertilizers. " The Idle timber lands of this section alonc.it seems to mo, offer opportuni ties for almost illimilah e profitable operations. The distance between the development of any one of these South western Stales aud the conditions which prevail in Massachusetts, for instance, reveals the reason why the South is to day pointed out as the Section above all others where the young man, seeking a location, will lind more opportunities than in any other part of the natiou. There is so much to ih> down here, and the rewards are so certain and so ri b, there is a disposition to wonder why any ambitious young man will remain in I ho overcrowded Hast and North, where Conditions aro tixed ami opportunities for original, individual effort growing less every year, while in many parts of this co on try a most primitive conditions prevail, aud a development work re mains to he done which it will lake gen orations to accomplish. " While OU tho subject of timber lands I must record an astonishing change which has occurred since I was down here about live years ago. At that time timber lands were almost a ding In the real estate market and any amount of good lands could he bought for some where around ^(? an acre. Now one has to hunt for'bargains' at anything less that an acre Lumber men from Michigan and Wisconsin have come in and bought up tracts by the tens of thousands of acres, good yellow pine lands are being but Infrequently offered and prices have jumped up to at least 100 per cent all around. Plvo years ago the red cypress men, who were then feeling h ue over the dull condition of trade, agreed with a promoter to sell out their holdings, plants and all for $7,000, 000. To day these same people, who compose about NO per cent of those engaged in the red cypress industry and o?n at least that propor ion of the available merchantable ('? d cypress tim ber standing, would hardly sell for $20, 000,000, i.nd red cypress timber lands, which could be bought for $<> or less then, are snapped up now at $12 per acre.''

In view of the conflicting Btatements sent i out relatlVO to the strained relations be tween Sonator Tillmau and the Demo cratie leader, William Jennings Bryan, the South Carolina Senator, with charac teristic frankness, has disposed of the reports in this way : " I have tiled no plea for political separation from Mr. Bryan," said the Senator when Inter* viewed on the subject at the Capitol. " My relations with Mr. Bryan arc not strained in the 1 SSt and I hud a vo-y plain talk with him on the political situation.

" I cannot," sail the Senator, "be ro sponsiblo for the imaginary Statements which newspaper reporters make con corning my attitude towards Mr Bryau in the future. I do not legret going to Omaha, as some of the newspapers have staled. On the contrary I am glad 1 wont, because 1 had a loyal good t me I could not have received a greater ova tion than that which was given mo at Ibe ban<)UOt at Omaha. 1 gave them my ideas of Democracy right from the shoulder and they WtlOOpod it up for nie in great shape.

" You should have eocn thai crowd shout and yell when I uttered those sentiments,' continued tho Senator en thusiastically " Why," bo added,"they jumped up and shouted and yelled like bo many wild lud ans.

Secretary Wilson has just submitted to tbe Pres ident a recommendation to urge Con gress to pass the necessary appropria tion, and it is thought the President will report the Same to Congress. There is a bib ponding for the appropriation of $') ,000,000 for the project. Henator Prltchard has offered a bill In the Senate for this purpose. The Senator's measure provides for a reservation of 2.000,000 acres in the Southern Appalachian mountain region of the old North State. Tho bill has been referred t'i tho appro priate committee for consideration. ? Mr. John P.

THE APPORTIONMENT BILL- j South Carolina's Delegation Will Not be Reduced. The House of Representatives, by a vote of KM to 103, accoptod the reap portionaient plan proposed by the Bur* lelgh hill which increases the member ship of the House during tho next dec tdo ' from .i">7, the present jucinhership and the membership proposed by the com mittee or Hopkins bill, to 380. The result was largely brought about by the ' lullueUOO of certain Senators from several of the larger Northern States who threw the weight of their inlluence in the ecalo in favor of the larger mein bcrship When it became apparent that these factors Wore at work against bis bill, Mr. Hopkins attempted to com- ! promise by givlog an additional reprc- 1 Son tat IVO each to North Dakota, Colo rado Slid Florida, but his adversaries re- i fused to compromise alter complete victory was assured. The Cruuipaekcr I , proposition to recommit the bill for the j purpose of ascertaining what Satis, abridged the right to vote to an extent which WOUld entail reduced representa tion was defeated 130 to 110 There was no roll call on the vote but a num ber of Republicans voted with the Demo crats. I'nder the bill as passed no State loses a representative and the following make gains: Illinois, Now York and Texas three each: Minnesota, New Jersey and Pounsylvania two oach; Arkansas, Call fomia Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota Washington, West Virginia and Wis- ! cousin one each. The bill provides that whenever a new State is admitted the representatives as ignod to it shall be in addition to the number provided In the bill. It also I adds a provision, never hitherto Incor porated in a reapportioumont bill, to I the offoct that Congressional districts in I addition to boing ''contiguous" shall al-o i bo "compact " States which are allowed additional representatives by the bill 1 shall, by its terms, elect them at large until the Legislature shall redistrict the Slate. Representative Btanyarno Wilson, who is a member of tho House census com mittee, delivered a strong speech in op position to the pa-sage of the Hopkins apportionment bill, and advocating tho passage of the minority bill, which pro vided for li house of 380 mcmhe-s in 'lead i?f 357. Mr. Wilson in his address pointed out tbo fact that the Hopkins bill is a violation of all precedents in the framing of an apportionment law, both under the old dispensation, which pre vailed prior to 1*10. and Ihe new, which I method has prevailed since 1840, and which has been advocated by Webster. He argued that the minority measure Is tho fairest of all the apportionment measures which have 1)0011 presented to the House for consideration, and pointed I out thai it was non-par isan in its : character, inasmuch as provided the measure becomes a law the Republicans I will gain apparently ten members, dis trihuted among the States of New York, j Connecticut, Indiana and Illinois, while i the Democrats, if thoy carry those Stales, could secure a majority in tho House lie stated that the only salvation of the Democratic party in the future, If a I Democratic president is again to ho In* I auguralcc! hi Washington, is through I ( arrying the States referred to. Mr. Wilson spent some little time in referring to the Stale election laws of South Carolina, defending the State from attacks which have been made upon it by Representatives < dmstoad and Cruinpacker and others who would j reduce her representation in Congress, . owing to the disfrancbisemcut of the i negro voters, and he argued that the I Soulh was working for the bcsl interests of both the colored and while races He j spoke for one hour, receiving close at I loiltion from both sides of the House, I and at the conclusion of his remarks Io was liberally applauded by the advocates ' if the minority bill. ?
