CHAPTSB XXI.—Continued.
"What la II?" she ssys, Innocently.
«.ld then something In the ardent
Race he benda upon her, causes Paul-
ine to blush. the blood leaping to neck
and forehead Inatantly. Dick never
saw her look ao dlstractlngly lovely.
'They have a good padre In the set-
tlement here, capab'.e of doing hla
duty; become my dsrllng wife. Hea-
von knowa I don't deaerve you, Paul-
ine, but you love me even aa I do you;
1 have even gained your conaent to
naming an early day. Let ua be mar-
ried nt the mine.
Hla daring proposal almoat takea
ler breath away.
"But—It la ao very rudden—we have
not known each other much more
than a month." ahe gasps.
"I feel aa though I had known you
for years—that life waa nothing be-
fore you crossed my path. Our com-
paratively brief acquaintance la no
valid objection, my dear girl."
With a wooer'a determination he
pushea the question, and the woman
who deliberates fa lost.
"I-have no trousseau; I must make
preparations, for you know the ordi-
nary person only gets married once
in a life time, and then It la an event
it considerable Importance," ahe of-
fers as a last excuse, which Dick, see-
ing victory near at hand, bruahea
gslde as a mere bagatelle.
"Hang the preparations—begging
your pardon, my doar Pauline; but
you understand that we are not like
jther people; we deJlre no show, and
yet our love will last to the grave. 11
will assist your cause, your power
*iere, to have a husband, and the
man you have promised to wed will
le only too delighted to assume the
position of husband and guardian to
the dearest girl on earth."
"Not so loud. Oh, Dick, If they
should hear?"
"What of It?' he demands, stoutly.
•'No doubt honest Bob would only too
willingly drop Into line and follow a
good example. Promise me, Pauline."
"What are the terms?" she asks, de-
murely.
"Unconditional surrender. Let us
be married to-morrow—It will be a
gala time at the mine, and I'm sure
all will rejoice with me. Do not say
no. I entreat you.-"
She loves him, and after all, what
essential difference does It make
whether she becomes his wife in
twenty hours or as many days? Be-
sides, as Dick has said, the knowledge
that she has a legal protector may
tend to calm the rage of the Senor
Lopez, and cause him to bring to a
ilose his strategic movements for
gaining a possible control of the El
Dorado mine.
"I consent," she whispers shyly, but
love's ears are keen, and Dick hears;
his face shows the great pleasure he
feels, but the moment is hardly au-
spicious for what he would like to do,
bo he simply squeezes her hand.
"Then to-morrow shall be a gala
day, if we get through the night," he
"You look for trouble?" she asks,
quickly.
"Well, it would be useless trying to
disguise the fact from you, Pauline,
useless and without reason, since you
nre so brave, and have so deep an In-
terest In the matter. We do expect
trouble, for they are all here, bag and
baggage, from the greatest to the
least, even little Professor John."
She smiles at mention of the name,
and then her face becomes grave
again, for she feels that the danger
hovering over them is great.
"You will pardon ua. Pauline, if we
leave your agreeable company now.
There Is no need of saying we tear
ourselves away, since you already
know the fact."
"Go, and Heaven watch over you,
Dick, my darling," she murmura, turn-
ing away to hide the tears that spring
unbidden to her eyes.
Bob understands what Is wanted
when his name Is called, and that
the summons Is one to danger. He does
not possess the same delicacy or bash-
fulness that prevents Dick from salut-
ing his lady love with a farewell kiss,
but catching the inimitable Dora In
his arms, he gives her a audden re-
sounding smack that rather aston-
ishes the gtrl and brings out a small
scream.
"Oh, yon wicked Bob!" ahe cries,
trying to hide her blushing face, while
the wretch actually laughs to witness
her discomfiture.
Thus two bold warriors march out
to meet the wily and unscrupulous toe,
inspired to d«eds of valor by the smllea
of those they love. It la fated to be
a great night at the mine, one never
to be forgotten. Senor Lopes baa
marshaled his forces for one last des-
perate endeavor to

of the mandate laaued by the company
against Ita Importation on their landa,

Imbibed too freely.
"You notice It, I see," says the voice
of Alexander just at hla elbow—"the

pect an outbreak at any moment, and
when It comea, look out for a scorcher.

Now this excited rabble haa pushed
forward until Ita van la only some
thirty foot from the a pot whom Dick
and the chief engineer atand. Tho

"Stand Firm, Boys, and Be Ready 1"
The very atmosphere has grown
heavy and oppressive, as though
Death brooda over the camp, taking
time by the forelock, and guessing
what a rich harvest awaits him.
Gradually Dick haa gathered his
men at the most important points in
his estimation; they guard the only
entrance to the now deserted mine,
and cluster around the house of the
chief engineer and his lieutenants,
where the whole work will undoubt-
edly center.
A couple of men have been placed
In readiness just Inside the passage,
and as soon as the affair begins they
have orders to proceed at once to a
certain passage, and shoot down the
Mexicans whom they will find there
engaged with laying a mine with
which Lopez intends to wreck the
mine in case his forces are defeated.
Knowing every foot of the route,
these two miners will be able to tra-
verse it In the darkness, and the ras-
cally conspirators will be apt to meet
a speedy doom.
"It comes!" says Alexander, when
the babel of tongues seems to be sud-
denly concentrated into a great roar,
that sweeps toward the spot where he
and Dick are standing.
"Pass the word along—stand firm,
boys, and be ready to give 'em a warm
reception," the ex-horse-tamer says,
quickly.

The cry, "Death to the Americans!"
Is their slogan—twoscore of voices
roar it forth with all the vlndlctlve-
ness of hatred, until the very atmos-
phere, heavy from the coming storm,
seems to be filled with the cry:
"He has gone!"
"They flee!"
"Push on, comrades!"
"The mine is ours!"
Such are some of the wild shouts
that break from the gang when Dick
vanishes. They do not seem to under-
stand that he has ducked out of sight
because a gun sounds, and a bullet
clips by within an inch of his head.
Dick may be bold at times, but he
does not care to remain there and let
his enemies make a target out of him.
At any rate, the shouts encourage
those who are more timid, and with a
mighty rush the Lopez contingent
hurls Itself forward—there Is a babel
of rushing feet, loud shouts, strange
Mexican oaths, and on they come, pell*
mell.
Dick has given explicit directions to
his men, and not one fires a shot
while the Mexicans are thus rushing
down upon them, waiting for a sign.

Congressional Conventions
GUTHRIE: At the meeting of the ;- . . " _
republican territorial committee held strenkln gpe
here It was decided to hold the con- Negro.
gresslonal conventions In the three
districts In the Oklahoma part of the
new state on August 28. The county
conventions for selecting delegates
will be held on August 25 and the pre-
cinct primaries on the 21. The con-
ventions In the Indian Territory dis-
tricts- will be held not much later-
Just as soon as the work of the dis-
tricting committee has progressed far
enough to give any definite basis for
the apportionment of delegates.
Charlie Fllson was expected to re-
sign, but held the chairmanship of
the committee by unanimous request.
The congressional committees for
each district will be composed of the
various county committeemen of each
Jistrict. Various important matters
were discussed, anmong them the
mode of conducting the campaign for
constitutional convention delegates.
Speeches were made by Delegate Mc-
Gulre, Governor Frantz, Colonel
Douglas, Judge Burford and others.

Federal Warrant Is Served On Her at
Clebourne, Texas.
DALLAS: Mrs. Carrie Nation was
arrested at Clebourne by a deputy
United States marshal on a warrant
charging her with having misused the
mails. She was brougnt to Dallas and
after a hearing before United- States
Commissioner W. May was released
on bond in the sum of $2,500. The
examining trial is set for July 31.
The warrant came from Guthrie ,Ok.,
and specifies that she deposited in

ing an improper article headed "A

element that has crept on to the pay-
roll of the mine through Lopex's in-
fluence—rush forward, doubtless
thinking to take the few faithful
henchmen of John Alexander by aur-
prise, and at any rate carry them off
their feet by the impetuosity of their
advance.
"Ready!"
Here and there a gun-lock is heard
to click, but the noise made by the
advancing host effectually deadens all
other mounds.
Dick has to a great extent managed
to conceal the majority of his men, so
that when tbe rioters advance, waving
their torches and lanterns, and pre-
pared to sweep the feeble resisting
force from their path, as chaff before
the wind, they will open a magazine
that may aatoniah them.
Tbe light grows apace—a peculiar
glare it is, made by the smoking pine-
knots which many of the advancing
a en wave above their heads. It could
not suit the purpose of Dick Denver
better—bis men can see tbe enemy al-
most aa well aa in the daylight, while
Nor do those who, under Colonel Bob,
bide behind an adjoining house, move
so much as a hand to disclose their
position. Like Prescott at Bunker Hill,
the Americans hold their fire until
they can see the whites of tbelr foe-
men's eyes.
It Is a stirring scene—the surging;
struggling crowd of fierce men,
swarthy of face and dressed in the
fancy costume such as Mexicans de-
light to disport; the flaming torches,
the line of rude Intmnchments behind
which crouch determined men who am
there to meet the on-ruahlng tide and
burl it back—a picture that will speed-
ily have another sotting, for In flve
seconds Dick Denver must give the
signal that launchea forth the dogs
of war.
The roll of thunder la heard la tho
distance; it sounds louder now, as
though tbe storm might be coming la
the direction of the El Dorado. Per-
haps It will burst upon them while tho
two factions am engaged with sack
other.

BADGER PHILOSOPHY.
A man can't be unusually polite
without being looked upon with sus-
picion.
When the real nature of a man's
business is In doubt It Is often hinted
thst he is a gambler.
A woman is never satisfied with her-
self until she has outdone her neigh-
bor in some respect.
It's hard to understand why actors
with such fabulous salaries alwaya

Some people regard a collection plate
as a slot machine in which they drop a

Will Not Offset the 111 Effects of Coffee
When One Cannot Digest It
A farmer says:
"It was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
they were caused by the use of coffee
until I got so bad I had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat-
ing. There were times when I could
eat only boiled milk and bread and
when I went to the field to work I
bad to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.

each member of the house and senate
