Jack hud tiled oil what purported eventually lo lnoomo a fruit farm, when a company had worried out an impossible irrigation scheme, thirty miles flout S.ilitu Fo end seven miles from a white man. There were far iiioiiiilaii s to the iast, w ith w hite tops that pin i at sundown. All round liim wits the dreary prairie, monoton ous as the sea, mile In -. 1 1 1 I mile of brown pail I grass, withh.ro and I here a bunch of crawling hushes. Loads, in the F.u-'llsli sense of lite term, there Were none. We I'odo to (he ph. eo over the linked mud tracks, seemingly W It hollt ellil of object, pllsl ho greasers' 'hdiies," tis they call their little homely mud huts, past myriads of prairie dogs, scampering into their holes as we approached. And then at lust we reached a long, low farmhouse of planks, sitting in the midst of it vegetable piitelKthat had literally fallen into the acre" ami yellow leaf. Th.it was Jack's home, and presently ciinie Mrs. Jack, with Jack, Jr., clinging shyly to her skirts, tii give im; a welcome. It was broiling next d ay, hot altera fashion that we in a kindlier clime couipreiii i d not a whit. No white man ciiid lift his hand to his lit a 1 without a weariless resulting there from. Only til'1 olive-hiicd gn u ,-r Was available, and, iud 'cd, Jos,1 seem ed I'roi.i the short peri nl of my ob servation to 1 more on I ho qui Vve than any other I. v. tie; tiling. Jose w is Jack's c m!;, a moist, un comfortable looking greaser, wi$ a quivering pauiieh and long limbsilliiit seemed inadequate to support the (superstructure. I ventured to remark Upon his unprepossessing eoiinten ntice, loit Jack became eloipteut upon his on Unary virtues. Lveit Mrs, Jack huil something to say on tho subject, nttd 1 felt at once that I was interfer ing with a family idol. When, therefore, Jack told me later ill the day that ho hud been obliged to discharge Jose, with instant orders to depart, it was a m. iltrr of no small astonishment to me. I felt, however, that it was a del. cute subject, ami to this day I hnvo no idea what was Jo-p's cause of o V use. 1 conjecture that Mrs. J ck was concerned, and that tho insult was deep, for Juso's accom plishments were unparalleled, and no slight mutter colli I liavo caused his deposition.

Wo sot out upon our way, tnlking cn earnestly of I know not what that wo barely noticed Joso as ho mounted his pony nt tho back door of tho house. When wo wero twenty feet further on there was a whirring noise and a sort of muffled thud. Jack was de livered of u Hound that appeared to have begun life as an oath and turned aside to bo n gurgol. Also his horso jerked itself on its haunohos and seemed to (dagger helplessly. l!y tho time I could turn my head Jack was half wtty out of hid saddle. A leathern thong was girted around hia elbows, pinioning his arms to his sides. ItH other end was fastened to the pommel of Jose's Middle, mid Jose was bending over his horse's m ck with a fiendish hheett beneath his heavy eyebrows. Jack had his lingers on his revolver in an instant, but crippled aa he was by the thong th t cut deep into his llesh, ho was as helpless lis though his anus hail been broken. I looked at him, frozen to my sad dle, as powerless to fro to his rescue us though th.; lariat was bound about me. Then there was a crack that startled mo and th) whole fasciiiat ;oii dis solved. Jack's al ius were f roc and Josi was tangled up in a confused muss of pony, harness, and man. As the puny fell there uppeiivd be hind its body tlio figure of Mi's. Jack, pale and quivering, with the bps set and a sort of horror in the eyes that was a revelation to tne iu mv studv of expressions. In her hand was a re volver, w it li a thread of smoke trickl ing from tho barrel as it hung Iron her limp grasp, fsiio swooned after ward and I lilted her ll'om the ground. licfore that time, however, Jack had released himself, and when 1 looked round he was standing over tho pro.--Irato greaser with his wntcit in one hand and bis revolver iu tlio other. "Jose," ho remarked, as placidly in though ho had been ordering dinner, "in iu -t three minutes I am goin;' to kill you. 1 shall tell you as tho min utes puss. It was an unpleasant scene to look nt. Tho fellow howled like a hurt beast. He clung to Jack's knees and praved for niefcv in tho name of all his saints. "It's no us.., Jose. I'm going to two ininiiti s kill you. I have no use for such as you, and I don't see how anybody else can have." We buried Mm a little later, and then Jack 11 1 1 la j r ' i also.

She had aimed at the pony's head, an I by a (iod-seiit chance the b ill had enter ed his eye. "Lucky the little mn lam knew how to hold a gun straight, wasn't it?" said Jack. I "it v. though; never knew any body w ho could try chicken with Jose." (ioo.l Company. Til (liiei u of l ilies. To Kd iilliid 1.

You go by silk-gowned mandarins in carts, who scowl at you as you peep into tho little glass windows iu the walls of their Vehicles. Y'oti sjo scholars with spectacles as big as trade dollars, and everywhere you go you are assaulted by beggars, I remember one boy who followed mo day after da;-. Tho weather was bitterly cold, and I shiv ered iu my fur ulster. This boy was naked to the waist, and his arms had been cut oil' at tho shoulders. Ho held a pan in his mouth and followed me, switching his body this way and that to show mo his mutilation. I was glad to giro him two or three cents to bo freed of tho sight. All ot hi r beg ir, who hii long been in I'ekin, is a man who Ins an iron skew er thrust through his cheek. This skewer is a fool long, and is about as bit' around as voiir little linger.

They push (heir way from it into the city and threaten to cut them selves if you don't give them alnn. Side by sitlo w ith tin so beggars walk the gorgeous ollieials, and poverty and wealth march together in pairs. There is no place in lint world where the contrasts are so great, and for liim -tenths of tin,' people it would seem to mo their Condi! ion could not bo worse.

"L'ueasy lies the head that's crow tied" is aptly illustrated by a story told by Prince I'.isinarck about Ihe late C.:ar of F.ussia Alexander 111. When the Czar was ill several years ago his phvsieiun ordered that his back should be rubbed thoroughly every day to relieve him o- h" bod. ily suffering.

They performed their ser vice faithfully so that the Czar was relieved of hisdi-ease. On tho r turn of the olUc.--rs to their regiment they were i.aeh pri-ciited with valuable gifts. On meet ing the Prussian King the Czcr said, in speaking of the matter. "As long as I have my people face to face, all is well; but I cannot trust ' my back to their hands.
