Millard in the Argonat. When the stage “‘went light” they ran out the small buckboard; but when there wore more than fous passengers the big mud-wagon was “put on.” This was a buckboard day, for there was not a sin- gle passenger. What was more to the point, as the Gold Butte Mining com- pany regardea it, was that under the driver’s seat was a box with £10,000 in the newoest of new tens and twentics in it The driver had looked very biue when he drove his four mustangs from the postoffice—where he took on a very flat leather bug, which spoke loudly of the incapacity disinclination of the Thimble Spring people for letter writ- ing—over to the raiivoad station, where he was to take on the box. Things were going all wrong at home. That was why his brown face looked so haggard: that was why he held so loosely to the “lines;” that was why he chowed hard on the bit of **plug” in his mouth. “Such hard scratchin’ I never sced afore,” was what he had said as he had listlessly thrown the mail big into the wagon; “ean’t git no aecent job now- a-ay Nothin® ter be hed by pros- pectin’—tried thet time an’aging ef 1 git anything it peters out inside of a week. T might muke n strike over te Sand Guleh, but it's a derned long way off, an’ me ’n’ Sue an’ the kids hoz moved s0 often “ut we can’t raise nothin’ ter move on now.

Bf I Lud a brother poorer’n a crow, d'yethink I'd go and live on him, an’live on him till thar warn’t nothin’ to eat in the hous:? Sho,Zuch Springer,you're a blamed fool. Bill hain't done that. Heain't ter blame gottin’ his leg broke thut time. all right, but he's onlucky. Been 3 fer a month to git et job, an’ n't git it nowhere. He's willin’ ter work. He'd swan’ croteh-deep in the creck all day long washin’ out tailin’s ef he could make his salt at it. Tried it for six weeks an’ didn't git enough to buy a pair 0’ gumboots. W hoa, Bucl ekin! Damn that one-eyed crowl he’d jam right inter the stution platform ef yer didn’t saw his tecth eout.” And then the box was taken on and the express agent had something to say. That “something” was not 1o Zuch Springer s liking, He chowed harder thita ever wn tl bit of plug and sawed the hard mouths of the mustangs by an unnecessary yunking ¢ the reins. It was a positive relief 1o .o ableat last to whuek his lash down upon the sides of the nervous brutes and turn them loose for the forty-milo run to Gold Butte. Why had he needed a lecture from the hiveling of the cxpress compiny, and why should that smooth jeweled agent have looked at him with such dark sus- picion. “They think 'cos T got stood up down ter Bluck Rocks las’ time I had er big load er gzold thet I need to be preached to every time I go out now with a full box. Damned stoop-shouldered, desk- settin’ houn I'd like ter see one on ’em hand:in’ the ribbons when thar’s a Winchester lookin’ at ’em with an eye as big as a bar’i-head. Can’t tell me they would’t give in! The sweetscented, calfskin booted young ladies! Thar ain’t a man among ’em. Zach Springer’s indignation was now in more complete possession of him than had oveen his feeling of blueness a little earlier. What he had delivered himself of just now was not what he would have said had he voiced his true sentiments with reference to the exvress agent's or 50 lecture. In between the words ran the thought that *‘they” had suspected him of having a hand in the Black Rocks robbery. It hud come to him before in what he called a *“'left-handed” way, and he had had other outbursts of righteous indignation, but none in which the up- heaval was so great as that of the pres- ent. Had that been the reason that the company had cut down his pay to “'six- ty” a month? The chances were that it was. It was too blamed mean for a lot of swine, like those people, to como it 50 high-handed over a poor man who only wanted his own. Wouldn't it serve them just right if— Tho white dust of the desert rolled up from the mustangs’ hoofs in little puifs, and sprays of it, powdery fine, followed the turn of the wheels half way up,there to be caught by the breeze and drifted bebind in a long cloud that followed the buckboard like & haunting spirit, Some- times, as the light breeze shifted, it came back upon the buckboard and its driver like heavy thoughts on the conscience of a guilty man, It would serve them just right! Be- sides that, only think—ten thousaud! ‘What would the people down in Mexico or Guatemala, where he would fly know or care if sonfebody up in far-off Nevada had dumped a box off his buckboard and gone back and got it after a few days—maybe a week? It would have to be a dark night, would’n it? You couldn’t go and get a box like that in the day- time and take it anywhere, for the whole country would be out looking for the man who had it, Maybe a month. That would be better. It would all blow over by that time. Let’s see, would it? Ten thousand was a good deal. Those stage-stoppers were always striking the box on the wrong day. They never got 80 much as that at one haul. In two months, then—perhaps two months, But it would have to be well hidden. And the thought stuck him, despite all attempts to keep it off, though by the time he had driven the mustangs into Red Canon, his indignation at hav- ing been suspected by the compuny had died down. The box at his feet had taken on a new meaning for him. It meint smart gowns for the wife. It meant good schooling for the children, ‘I'hose five little ones had had a ha “rustie” of it to get wnat few scraps of learning they had thus far managed to cluteh; und, a8 for clothes, they were dressed like juvenile scarecrows, Yes, all the hard scratching would be over if he dared to do what many another hard-pushed man had done. ~Resolving the whole matter down to a plain, clear-cut proposition, it was, after all simply u question of “nerve,’ Here was the place todoit. Right here, where the high, scraggly rocks, with the patches of sage brush atop,. came $0 near to the buckboard. It could be thrown over there—any- where—into the sage brush. It would be as well concealed as though buried in six feet of earth, The buckboard had reached the top of a long down grade. Zach put on the brake and twisted the reins about the brake han- dle. As if about to take a plunge into ice-cold water, he reached down for the box. But wait a bit. He took off his big sombrero and hung it on a projec ing rock. Then flushing out his six- shooter he sent a bullet through the brain of the hat,which he then replaced on his head. Though it had been hot enough when he started out from Thim- | ble Spring, there scemed to be a chill in | the air just now. Would they believe | the story that he would have to concoct, even though he showed them the hole in the hut brim? What would he care | whather Wey did or not? They already DAILL Y BEE TUESDAY suspected him, 1f, he had the name he might as well bave the gam He | Tooked at a spot flgere the sage brosh clustered thickest, and made a mental | throw or two in''§ tentative way, in order to “get the distance. Then he d two notvous hands on the box. He gave a little tug. Lord, how heavy it was! Could it be tossed over there, after all? It might have to be carried. He lifted it upon the seat “Via Thimble Spring Stige Line.” What wis the senseiin putting on such a direction as that¥ it could go. The only way. way was now cioséll, for he to— “God, kain't Zach Springer? Kuin't the, Zach?” he burst out, honrsely. ‘“Yes but why don't they do as any other de cent minia’ comp'ny does—turn their stufl into the bank at ‘Frisco. arter it’s mintea? \WWhat in hell do they want on it up thar?" Well,after all,that was their business, But ho couldn’t he trusted. What would Bill s1y¥ Bill was an honest man He would blush with shame every time his brother’s nnme was mentioned after that—for, of course he would know. Sue would never suspect. Any kind of a story would bamboozle her. Bill was smart He could put two id two together as quickly as nny man country. And yet Bill himsell was little reckless sometimes. He had been acting very queer of late, and had been over to Johnson's a good deul, drinking and playing eards h the ba I'nat would not do. Bill must be lookea alter, He wasonly a young fellow--a mera boy, even if he had been trying to raise a mustache lutely. Yes, Bill was w good deal younger Why, he remembered well the day he was born, when they took him in to show his new paby brother. He used to carry Bill all around, and he was the first one tostand him on his legs and try to meke him walk. He remembored how it used to hurt his own head when Bill got a knock by falling out of his high chai 13ill was justas much to him now s ever, and those knocks which fate and the wenknesses of his no riving him now hurt him just as padiy—wors perhaps, than they did Brother Bill, What would Bill say? He laid his hands unon the box again. It would be safe enouga behind the rocks there under the suyre brush—as sufe as if— “Gitup thor, damn ye! Git, Buck skin! Git, old ( ! Yo lazy critters. Glang! "And down came the long lash upon the dust-covered backs of the mus- tangs, and off down the long grade they n, making the dust fly in the canon as it never flew before. For Zach had grasped the reins in a gripof iron, and both his big cowhide boots were planted firmly on the box. “This ‘er is what T call goin’ helly-ty split)” he suid,ten minutes later s they were still flying down the grade. “But I lost some time with a blamed-fool no- tion thut I orter st ben licked for ever thinkin’ on a minit.

The mustangs came to asudden stand. There was no getting by that Winchester. *1 reckon you’ve got ther drop on me. stranger,” the driver coolly made re- mark. “Stick up my hands? In courso I will, ef you insist on it; but I tell yer these ’ere mustangs 1s mighty skittish, an’ it’s on ther down grada. So you needn’t shoot ef they start up, fer it’ll be your own fault. 1s’pose yer arter this ’ere box. Throw it out?” It’s too blamed heavy fer that® Ye’ll hev ter give us a lift.” The man with the gun had said noth ing; but the subtleties of the holding- up process were not so fine but that Zach understood every wave of the stranger’s hand and every shrug of his shoulders when the waves and shrugs meant anything. Zach had been held up before. He of the calico mask did not step forward at once, In this sug- gestion that he should assist in taking off the box he seemed to suspect some trick. But one of Zich’s hands was held aloft and the other, with the four reins in it, was on the level of his shoul- der. The man edged up to the buck- board, exchanging the weapon wnich he presented at Zach’s head for a six-shoy revolver, “Thanks, stranger,” snid Zach, with forced merriment. I never like to hey one o' them air long-bavreled things plinted at _me. They shoot too durn straight. Now, here ye are.” With his foot he shoved the box along until it was near the edge of the wagon. “Thar it is; help yourself; but ye’ll find it a blamed heavy load ter pack, ef yor goin’ far—over forty pounds.” The robber’s fingers grasped the box nervously. **A green un at the biz,” thought chh; “'mebbe thar’ll be an openin’ here Aud that was about they trust you A hold-up, sure as The robber pulled and hauled at the box, but it would not budge, for it was caught on a nailhead in the bottom of the wagon. In his fevenish anxiety to secure the gold, he lowered the revolver a little and grasped the box with both hands. Swiftly Zach’s right hand fell to his hip and out he whipped his bright barreled pistol. **Got the deed drop, stranger! It’s no go!” he shoute **Put that weepin daown, you fool!”—for the man was rais- ing his pistol. *You won't? Then take that,” 4 A flash, a repost, and back fell the robber without a moan, His fingers cluwed the dust for o moment, us if he were grasping for n hold on life, But the hold was not, tp be had, and he gav, it up, and lay there quietly in the du The driver shoyed his pistol into its hostler, and wiped thé sweat from his brow. It had been.a close shave for the box and a closer shave for him.

In his introduction the | author says: *‘In no other field of social lite | does there exist today a more lamentable confusion, a more nalve suparficiality, & more portentous ign thau in that of { anarchism, The very utteranco of the word is like the Hourish of a ved rag; in blina wrath the majority dash against it, without taking time for calm examination and considera- 1on.

Published by Benjamin R. Tacke 4" Premont street, Boston, Mass. X in tho Destinics of a,” by Lester C. Hubbara, is in more than oneavery extraordinary work. Itis dedicated to the “all powerful “midale class of America, wno by wise and righteous action can save the republic from every danger that now threatens it.”' Io the main itis a bitter arraignment of what the writer culls the triumphant plutocracy, which he charges with subverting popular government, and so prostituting the law-makiug power that the people can obtain neither judicial nor logis- lative protection from its boundless rapacity and oppression. Ho also asserts that this sawe triumphant plutocrscy is tearing down the republic fu more rapidly than it was built up, and furthermore, that it bas undermined the eternal moralities which must be the solid founda- tion of a democracy, and that it now holds profanc viot in our temple of hberty, from which the tutelary deities of the republic have fled in horror. [t is a powerfully writ- ton book and merits the careful perusal by all peovle who take an interest in the future of the greatest republic the world has ever seen. It may be that the author has been led into oxugeerations in somo cases through his evident zeal, but the work contains much that must cause the thoughtful citizens of his country to meditate upon the evils al luded to, and it is to ve hopoed that the good common sense of our people will seea way to right the wrongs and thus avert the dreadful calamities fu store for the republic, according iter, if the present stato ' of thines to continue.

The al n- of the writer is to ive & practical solution of some, at least, of the difficulties involved in rail- road problems and to suggest a policy for the more eflicient regulation and control of that 1 most important of ali our quasi-public indus- tries, The monograph is well writton and the writer 1s evidently thoroughly informed about tho history of the growth and develop ment of the commission system and railroad matters i general. An interesting brochure has just emanatod from the university faculty of political science of Columbia “college, entitlod, **T'he History of Municipal Ownarship of Land o Manuattan Isiand 10 the Beginning of Sales by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund in 1844, from the pen of Ashton Bluck, Ph. D. It contains a vast amount of valuable information regardivg the estate grauted by apostile of 1658 and that eranted by the charter of 1636, together with facts concern- ing the water iot grants in fee and the sale of isolated outlying upland. A portion of the pamphlet is also dovoted tou description of the fixed annual quit-rents reserved in granting water lots and the leasing of the upland. The poiicy of leasing building lots and the extensive permanent lmprovements puid for by sales of new building lots is likewise touched upon. Encroachments, grants to institutions and corporations, with comments and controversies, ure some of the other subjects treated in this publication. Although, perhaps, not quite so well k nown as some of our other monthly veriodicals, Munsey’s Mugazine is 8 magniticent publica- tion and merits & wood share of public pat- ronage, In the KFebruary numver William Horace Hotchkiss has a splendidly illustrated article on “Berlin, the City of tho Kaiser,” and €. Stuart Johnson’s contribution on “Sir John Millais.” Another attractive feature 1s a paper by R. H. Titherington on “The Episcopal Church in New York. Among the good short stories of this issne may be mentioned: A Diplomatist in Ueiform,” by Thomas Winthrop Hall; “Doctor Hackett,” by John Mauton Miller, and **The Affair of Morris Dazvidson,” by Matthew Whate, jr. Taken as a wholo Munsey’s Mugazine is very readable, and the piotures in it are above tho average in artistic skill and finish. Published by Frank A. Munsey & Co., 155 East Twenty-third street, New York, Lippincott’s magazine fer iMbruary con- tains o very fine assortment of variea litor- ature, all selocted with great care. This is ono of the best edited monthlies in the country and is making rapia headway in the esteem of the American roadiog public. The complote novel this mouth is by William Westall and is entitled “Roy the Itoyalist.” Iu the journalistic series Julius Chambers has an excellent coutribution on “The Managiug Editor,” and a paper by Julian Hawthorne cailed *‘Secretary Rusk’s Crus- ade Deserves Careful Perusal.” Somo of the other zood things are *The Hacknoy Horse,” by Louis N. Megargen; “Across tho by Phlip Bourke Marston; ‘‘The rade and the Farmer,” by Henry 'he Ambassador,’ by Charles ; “Days of My Youth,” by George Tucker, mid “Prince Gallitzin, Priest and Pioneer,” by Hostor Dorsey Ricbardson, Mrs. J. F. Reichard has written a readable little romanco under the tittle of “A Woman's Revenge.” It is not a particulariy strongly coustructed novel nor can it right- fully clsim any great merit as a literary pro- duction, but it will serve to wkilo away an hour or two in &0 agrceavia manner.
