But for the rest of the storj It was about two years after the road agent affair, iu which we loat almost ererything but our good uamea aud tho clothing we wore, when f one day, I was thunder-struck to T receive tlalleran's wedding cards. It was the first time I had heard from him in a year, and had any one else told me Terence Hallegaa marrying man, I should have de vided him; but when Terence hinueli,ia his owb peculiar chirogiapby, directel t o me an enyelooc containiuir such start ling news, all set forth in the highest ttyle of the engraver's art well, it was too much, and I went down intd the Camp, where there were a full score of Terence's friends and acquaintances to toast his memory and console with each other And gnef was oar lotj until the day Jewett "struck - it" ia that hole he had been pegging away at, over on the other aide of the gu'.ch, aud excitement reigned supreme. In the midst of the confusion, tele grams came and yent, flyin ; brought and sent by special courit-r to and fro-n the office at Sunrrse, nine miles away; and, one day, came one for him who sits here burning the nocturnal kerosene. It waa from llallegan, who was now liv ing in Chicago, and summoned me to hasten to that city, where I was needed to assist in closing a transaction involv ing the sale of soaie mining property in which Terence and I were interested. , Terence met me at the station lie looked remarkably well, even for a per son whose health and spirits had always been Of the very best, and I told him so, adding tbat in deponent's opinion he must have drawn a capital prize lp the matrimonial lottery. He smiled happily, and took my arm to wait outside the train inclosure, as he aid: 'That I did that I did, me boy; fust wait till you see her, and youll be sure of it." . He called a cab, gave the driver some brief instructions, and leaped in nftertne. We rode several minutes in silence; then llallegan turned to me in a rather em barrassed way, and said, in a strained tone: . "Billy, mo boy its very near dinuer time at our house and there's no time for explanations. Only if you think you've 6een my wife if her face is fa miliarplease don't mention it, or act as though you noticed it. I'll explain after dinner." I acquiesced wonderingly, and won dered yet more after I had met Mrs. llallegan, for I was quite positive that I had never seen her before, and there was ample opportunity, during the course of the excellent dinner we presently sat down to,to btuly her. She was slightly above the medium height, and of a per- i feet, though rather slight, 'figure. Her hair and eyes were dark, setting off ex cellently her cleat olive complexion, an d her features were all that an artist could desire.1 She was hardly what one would call a beautiful woman, however. "Handsome" would be the better word or, perhaps, "striking." There wa3 something about the firm set of her .mouth when not speaking, and the strong, rather masculine chin in which, oddly enough, thero was a charmingly feminine dimple that caused this effect, I think. Ooe .would never have taken Mr llallegan for the daughter of the little, white-haired, sweet-faced old lady who sat opposite me, and whom she ad dressed as "mother." Dinner over, the ladies rose to leave us, smiling over the broad hint Terence had just thrown out concerning a desire to smoke, As they reached the door, Mrs. Hallegau turned and bowed mock ingly to her husband, whose hand was just reaching for the bell. -"I hope, Sir Terence, that the cigars maw prove dry company."' Then, with a bright smile, she vanished. I flopped into, my chair, breathlessly. Where tad I seen that mocking bow? Then, suddenly, there came before me that little scene in the mountains two years since; the dust, the heat, the sleepy cowboy inside the coach, the dapper little chap who so politely took our money and watches. He bowed just j that way when he finished his work and departed. "Her brother," I thought 'fblack sheep.blot on family escutcheon. Uow much they resemble " j "Well, me boy?" ' llallegan was looking at rre quizzically through the smoke, we having lig'uteJ our cigars meanwhile. I suppose 1 looked embarrassed. Of course it was all rot; the idea of there being any con nection, however remote, between the itately creature who' had just left us and the little rascal who engineered that hold-up! Uallegan spoke: "Billy, me bay, I won't make a short story any-longer than is necessary. You remember the little fellow who held us up, two years ago? "Of course I do." 1 "Yes, very likely. Well, I fancy I'd better begin at the beginning. ."Three years, ago, a young fellow named Wilson, who had been employed as cashier by the L. and A. Stage and Express Company, got into trouble over his accounts. The manager Robin son rcharged him with a shortage amounting to several thousand dollars. There was an investigation, and, on the strength ol certain circumstantial evi dence which need not be stated, as it is immaterial, backed by the testimony of .Robinson, the manager. Tweedy, the superintendent, anil Frank Robinson, son of the managerwho, by", the way, had jiier waa convicted on trial and sen tenced to a long term, at Canon City. Strange to say, he o tiered no testimony and made no defense except his plea of. fnot guilty." Well, it killed him. Inside of a year, the worry and disgrace, along with the hard work and close confinement he had never beeu very strong had wasted him to a shadow, and when, at last, h knew he couldn't live very long, he sent for bis mother, and sisters to come to him. "Hts mother was too ill Lerself to travel, and ooe of the iters a cripple -was oblijd to remain with her, . but the elder sister went. "She found him dyingdying in pruoa. It was the first she had known of his trouble, and, naturally, ahe wa terribly shocked. Ix-t'lle told her the true history of. the v : k. ti.i i . .

For the first few times there was only one road agent a little chap, but a nervy one. who got Uiked about br the Dapera a trood deal t but pretty soon theN .were others, until a haul of about eight or zed. under the little fellow's leadership, and they made life a !mlen to the lu and A. people. It made no different what precautions the company took, or now many guaras employed; the road agents were too sharp, aud the boldest kind of hold-ups' were successfully made .and by Jove. It busted the company's business. The L.- aod A. wasn't a heavy concern, of course, but had alwsys made a good deal of money. The frequent hold-ups ori its line, though, proved" a settler. It wasn't long before nobody would ship or travel over any, of the L. and A. Com pany's lines unless actually obliged to, and'thi company wa3 kept pretty busy fettling the losses of its customers. Then came the crash, and somehow people be gan to suspect that the Robinsons h id uot lun things as they should have been, handled, and the stockholders investi rated. Old Robinson died in disgrace ehortly afterward. The young man took all he could lay hands on aud skippei, but was caught at Santa Fe. ne's where ha should be at Canod City.. Tweedy got off on a technicality. About seven or eight months after we were he'd up, a stage full of felloes, in cluding myself, were stopped and re lieved one aflernoon, about ted miles from Milliken, on the old Mule-lhoo Trail. The young lellow was ose of the robbers I knew himjnspj,te of bis mask. There were only four of the road agents oa this occasion. They pulled out, leaving us orders not to touch our arms-(which they had, stacked on the ground) for twenty min utes, under penalty of getting shot. . But one of our party waa a devil-may-care chap, and no sooner were the bandits gone than he walked right over to the pile of guns and picked his out, remark ing that he 'didn't believe there were any road agents around just then.' And there weren't. "Well, the result of this fellow's fool hard ness was that we concluded it would bemineyinour pockets to get on the trail of those four road agents, so we started after them, separating a little dis tance from each other. We followed them all the afternoon, but couldn't find a trace. Von know how the old Mule-Shoe. Trail is? Well, the driver had gone on, agreeing to meet us on the other side of the Shoe it is only three or four miles across. "I wa3 just about making up my mind to join the other fellows, and had stopped to think of the best way to cross the creek; wheu 1 heard a queer sound, liko a woman sobbing. I looked cautiously around, and there,-within two rods of me, was the young road aent, crying as if his heart would break. There was nobody else there, it was plain to be een, 60 I quietly snep.Tced up and re quested him to throw up his hands, conspired to shield the guilty man by sacrificing an innocent one, who would not defend himself. The confession made by the dying man wa3 net alto gether a voluntary one. His sister, who had known nothing except that- he was innocent, caught a hint of the truth from him when he' was raving in delirium the rest she made him tell her. "After younj Wilson's death, his sis ter went quietly to work to see what could be doue to prove her brother's in nocence and to place the guilt where it belonged, but sown for, mi that nothing ' could be proved. The Robinson3 were too strong for her. "Did you ever hear a woman scream at the siht of a mouse? That's just the way this young fellow screamed when he saw the muzzle of ray gun aud I, as soon as I saw the scared, tear ful face turned to mine, knew as well as I know now, that the famous bandit known as 'Foxey! was only a woman. She teemed to trust me, somehow, and pretty soon'l had the whole story from her. Then I sat down and talked to her like a brother! f and the result was that next dry the road agents missed their leader, and, inside of a fortnight, M ss Jean Wilson was back here in Chi cago, at her studies again. "I need not say that this gentle baa dit, who ruined the business of the L. and A. Company, took not ono cent of the proceeds, and never permitted any of the band to interfere with Uncle Sam's mail. The latter fact accounts, in a measure, for their success, for Uncle Sam is a bad man to interfere with. The former fact, I think, bad to do, to some extent, with the strong hold which 'Foxey' bad over his subordinates; al though they must have had a good deal of faith in his demonstrated ability as an executive. The band was broken up not long after 'FoxeyV disappearance, and three of the men were caught, but they didn't know any more concerning their mysterious ex-chief than did the public at large."

A vegetable tb?at promises) to be of considerable value", if once generally in troduced, is the so-called Spanish salsify, a native of Southern Euro; e. L. H. Bailey, of the Cornell Station, who has grown this salsify for two. years, has thisj this to say abodt it : V - "Spanish salsify makes a root much like salsify, except that it ia much lighter colored and considerably longer. Its flavor is less pronounced than that of; the Balsify, but when carefully cooked it possesses a very agreeable quality, which is somewhat intermediate between that, of the salsify and parsnip. It is adapted to all the methods of cooking employed for those vegetables." The particular value "of the vegetables aside from affording a variety ha the kitchen garden is its large size and pro ductiveness as compared with the salsify. About twice the crop can be raised upon a given area that can be secured from salsify, and no dcubt it could be sold for that vegetable in the general market. The seeds are much easier to handle and sow than those of the salsify. It is sown and cultivated in exactly the same manner as that vegetable, and can be dug either in the fall or spring. Perhaps the greatest disadvantage of the plant is the very prickly leaves, which may make it. unpleasant -to handle. But, upon the whole, it Is jivortti introduction into American gardeus. Seeds are offered by some American seedsmen. i The plant waa brought to the attention of American gardeners nearly thirty years ago. The American Horticultural An nual for 1871 said of it "It does not seem to be quite as hardy as the salsify, some plants which were lefj: out for ex periment being found partly decayed in the spring. It is les3 troublesome to pre pare, and does not require so much care in cooking as the salsify, and has a milder flavor. On the other" hand the roots be ing longer and more brittle, are more dif ficult to dig, and the centre is somewhat, fibrous.- The last difficulty is overcome by the French by first boiling the roots and then splitting; them and lemoving the tough centre, which readily separates from the outer; portion, which is very tender." Mr. Baily, however, has not found tough centres in the plants he has grown. New York World. FARM AftD GARDEN NOTES. Oralis thrive in a sunny place. 1 Sprinkle diluted carbolic acid in the hen nests.

Charles A. Quant was easily found, tor everybody seemed to know him, speak well ox hitn, and to be overflowing with surprise and satisfaction at his wonderful cure and restor ation to the activities of enterprising clti Benshlp, for Mr. Qnant was bom in Galway arid had spent most of his life there. Mr. Quant was foUna at' his pretty home, on a El easant street nearly opposite the academy. a response to a knock at the door it was, oi ened by a man who, in reply to an lnoiiry if Mr. Quant lived there and was at homej said: "lam Mr. Quant, Will you come Inr! After a little general andpreliminary conver-f sation, and alter he had been apprised of the , object for which the Journal reporter had ; r-nllvi nnrtn him. hrt. at reauest. told tlld" t story of himself and of his sickness and. vernuie suueruigB, auu ui iucu.iiu.j treatment he had had, and of his final cure . by the use of Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for; Pale People, and cheerfully pave assent to; its use for publication. He said: My name is Charles A. Quant. ' I am 87 years old. I was born in the vilhure of Galway. and, ex-1 cepting while traveling on business and a little while in Amsterdam, have spent my whole lif e here. My wife is a native of Ontario. Up to about eight years ago I had never been sick and was then in perfect health. I was fully " six feet talJL welgnea 180 pounds and was very strong. For twelve years I was a traveling salesman for a piano ( and organ company and had to do,OT at least did do, a great deal of heavy lifting, got rflf . meals very irregularly and slept In enough' Bpare beds' in country houses to freeze any ordinary man to death, or at least give him the rheumatism. About eight years ago I began to feel distressed in ray stomach and con sulted several doctors about it. They.all said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was treated by various doctors in different places, and took all the patent medicines I could hear of that claimed to be a cure for dyspepsia But I continued to grow grad ually worse for four yars. Then I began to have pain in my back and legs and became, conscious that my legs were getting weak' and my step unsteady, and then I staggered when 1 walked. Having received no benefit from the use of patent mediomes, and feeling that I was constantly growing worse. I then, unon advice, beean the use ot electrlo belts. pads and ah the many different kinds of. eiecrno appliances x uoiuu uwu ui, buj bou, hundreds of dollars for them, but they 'did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant showed the Journal reporter an electric suit of Under wear for which he paid $124.) In th fall of 18S8 the doctors advised a change of climate! so I went to Atlanta; Oa., and acted as agent , for the Estey Organ Company. While there I took a thorough electric treatment, but it only seemed to aggravate my disease, and the only relief I could get from the sharp and distressing pains was to take mor phine. The pain was so intense at times tbat it seemed as though I could not stand it, and I almost longed for death as the only certain relief. In September of 1889 my legs gave out entirely and my left eye was drawn to one Side, .so that I had double sight and - was dizsy. My trouble so affected my whole nervous system that I had to give up business. Then I re turned to New York and went to the Roose velt hospital, where for f ou months I was treated by srtecialists and they pronounced my case locomotor, ataxia and. incurable. After I had been under treatment by. Prof. Starr and Dr.. Ware for four months, they old me they had done all they could for me. Then I went to the New York hospital on ' Fifteenth street, where,- upon examination, they said I was incurable and would not take tne in. At the Presbyterian hospital they examined me and told me the same thing. In Marcb, 189 J, I was taken to St. Peter's hospital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun f ranklv told mv wife mv case . was hopeless: that be could do nothing for me and tbdt UO I ITt 1 JCVVCI waav aaav aaaav uyuiw auu sss v myjmoney. But I wanted to make a trial of ProrL Hun's famous skill and I remained under his treatlment for nine week, but se cured no benefit. All this time I had been growing worse. I had become entirely paralysed from my waist down and had partly lost control of my hands. The pain waa terrible; my legs felt as though they were freezing and my stomach would not re tain food, and I fell away to 120 pounds. In the Albany hospital they put 17 bjg burns on my back one day -with red hot 1 -mm Uaj.' UiCJ pU . X more burns on and treated me with elec-1 tncity, but 1 got worse rather than better; lost control of my bowels and water, and upon advice of the doctor, who said there was no.hope for me, I was brought .homei where tt was thought that aeatn would soon come to relieve me of my suffering. Last September, while in this helpless and suffer ing condition, a friend of mine in Hamilton, Out. I called my attention to the statement of one John Marshall, whose case bad been similar to air own, and who had ; been cured by the use of Dr. Williams! Pink Pills for Pale People. ; "In this case Mr. Marshall, who is a promi nent member of the Royal Templars of Temperance, had after four years of con stant treatment by the most eminent Cana- , dian i uysicians been pronounced inourabie. 1 and was paid the $1000 total disability claim allowed by the order in much cases. Boms months after Mr. Marshall began a course of treatment with Dr. WilliamsVPiak Puds, i and after taking some 15 boxes was folly re-! stored to health. "I thought I would try them, and my wife! sent for two boxes of the pills and lT took them according to t the directions given on I the wrapper on each box.
