S'BIore Salary Sontatlon. Since the discovery by Gov. Rich

{that In soire unknown way—by error or design—a constitutional amendment to increase certain state officers' sala-ries had been declared by the s tate can-Tossing board to have been carried when in fact i t had been defeated) there bas been great commotion among the political leaders in the state.

Another sensation has now been un-earthed. In 1891 a bill was passed by the state legislature submitt ing to the people an amendment increasing the salary of the attorney-general f rom $800 to 9,2500 a year. When the re turns f rom the election were made i t was an-nounced that the amendment had car-ried by some 1,300 votes and f rom April 1, 1801 Attorney-General Ellis has been drawing $2,50.) unr.il the last legislature increased it to 83,000.

Those who have been investigating t h e returns of 1891 now claim tha t the amendment of that year was not car-ried. The returns on file in the gover-nor's and state treasurer 's departments show that the original re turns on this amendment from Gogebic county showed 357 for and 38 against, but as counted the vote was jus t an even 1,000, The return sheet shows w^ere the " three" bas been erased and " thi r -teen" written instead in two different places, and by a much coarser hand t h a n made out the original. The same sheet also shows where a figure ' 4 " has been placed in front of the original figures. The f-eturns from Gratiot county were never coasted a t al l on this amendment. The county clerk failed to mak£' his return on a regular printed blank. I t was sen t .in on a sheet of note paper, but duly cer-tified to, and contained the seal of t h e -•clerk's office; but the vote was clear against the amendment I t was 638 for and over 1,S(H) aga ins t With the Gogebic returns corrected and Gratiot county Counted in the amendment was -defeated by 400 votes.

T h a i James J . Corbet t of California. U. S. A.» is the champion prito flgRter of the World cauoot now be denied. Tba t Charles Mitchell, of Birmingham, Eag., is coaviaced of this fact caanot be doubted. American brawn has once more overcome British bluster and Columbia rules the fistic arena.

After all the talk and worry by the authorities of Florida to prevent the fight between Corbett and Mitchell taking place in Jacksonville the Duval Athletic club iucceeded in tying tbe hands of the suite's executive through the intervention of t h e courts and on the day appo nted for the great inter-national fight the principalii stepped into the r ing .amidst the cheers of thousands who braved the rain and went down in their pockets for the l i t t le $35 admission.

Corbett was seconded by Billy Dc-lany, Jack Dempsey, John Donaldson and Jack McVey, his backer and man-ager, William A. Brady, was also in his corner. Mitchell's seconds were Hfirry Darrin, J im Hall, Steve O'Uon-ae l lnud Bat Mastereon and "Pony" Moore, his father-in-law and backer, was with him. "Honest John" Kelly acted as referee. Corbett entered the ring first and five minutes later Mitchell followed. As ho climbed into the r ing Corbett 's face was a study. He eyed MiteheU with interest-and a sardonic grin played over his face, which said as plainly as words, " I have you now." MiteheU was impassive, neither smil-ing nor saying anything. Corbett waa clad in nothing but a rsd, white and black trunk. He wore black shoes and dark brown gloves. Mitchell wore white gloves, black shoes and t r u n k and his right wrist was bandaged. Corbett refused to shake hands and time was called a t 2:25.

I n the first round Corbett began to force Mitchell to the ropes, the la t te r showed up in fine style in a clinch get-t ing in a good lef t blow oa Corbett 's stomach, but received an car st inger from the "big fellow's" right: Mitchell reached Corbetts ribs twice, the Amer-ican landing a left over the Bri tain 's hear t : Mitchell reached Corbett's face twice.

Second round: Mitchell was forced to the ropes by Corbett rushing In; the la t te r struck his opponent a. terrible lef t in the face and forced Mitchell Into a corner, bu t by clever ducking he escaped serious punishment for the ins tant ; Mitchell rushed on Corbe t t bu t received a heavy le f t body blow; Mitchell clinched Corbet t b a t they soon broke with no senous results to either: Corbett cornered Mitchell and gave him a r ight upper cut over the h e a r t but missed on a .left swing; Cor-be t t continued to force Mitchell and gave him another r ight over the hear t ; Mitchell ran to the cetater of the ring, Corbett followed like a cyclone, send-

Beaham, the Americal admiral, askiug the la t ter to be kiud enough to act as, media tor between the iusnrgents aud the goverameat of Presideat Peix-oto, with a view of br iagiug about some uuderstanding. Nobody seems ' to doubt t h a t the American admiral will soon by able to patch u p a peace-be-tween the insurgents and t h e govern-m e n t for both sides admit tha t they arc heartily tired of the distressing bombardments and at tacks aud conn ter-attacks which have been going on for so long wi th l i t t le or no advantage to either side.

The Inaurrenta Vlrtorloos. Cables f rom Montevideo: Since the

arrival here of the Aquidaban, the in-surgents have been gaiuiug grouad steadily. They appear to be more con-fident t han before aud public opinion ashore is becoming more favotable to the revolution. The insurgents at-tacked Moncagua Island; tbe Aquida-ban advanced a n d covered the laudiug of 100 men. They lauded jus t a t day-break and immediately charged the. government - bat tery capturing its Krupp field pieces, one heavy Whit-worth and a large supply of ammuni-tion. The insurgeuts theu turned the bat tery agaiast the goverameat troops statioaed a t Morro d'Armacao aud Pun ta da Areia. A sharp hand to hand fight took place on the islaud aud was malntalued fo r half an hour when the government treopfi surrendered.

The loss to the government on Mon-cagua Island was: T h e commanding officer and 10 men killed, a a d tfafee officers and 115 men taken prisoners. Tho government loss on the mainland is unknown b u t must have been heavy. On the side of insurgents five men were killed and seven wounded.

Advices f rom Desterro say t h a t the iusurgeats have occupied the town of Parauangua. After two hours sharp fighting the garrison surrendered, the greater par t agreeing to join the revo-lution. The insurgents captured a large supply of rifles and ammunition, six Krupp field pieces aud 20 rouods.

SCARLET FORTUNE. WY IL HERMAN.

CHAPTER V—CONTINDED. They loitered along unti l thoy

reached Claridge's hote l There Lord Cleve took leave of Mr. ( juentbelm. There was, of course, the earl ' s town house, In Berkeley Square, where 'Herbert might have stopped, but tho place had been shut up since the death of i ts previous owner, and "the Hon. Miss Chrfuneey?' Herber t ' s eld-es t sister, who had looked upon her-self as the head of tho family, did not th ink the place (It to receive i ts present owner, without some t idying and brushing up. The young1, man had, therefore, taken up his tempor-ary quar te rs a t Clarldge's, glad by this means to escape tbe host of in-quisitivo callers, who kept the knocker and beil a t Berkeley Square In continual movement.

Lucy was sitting a t the window of the private sitting room, which Lord Cleve had engtaged for her separa te use. when Herber t entered. Her baddiag girl ish beauty had expanded and blossomed into a womanly loveli-ness which coatd not fail to be re-markable. Charming, t ru th fu l na tu re was writ all ov?ir tha t beauteous face —God's fa i rest image as He had create i it. The deep eyes were elo-quent with tenderness ano t r u t h : the downy dimpled eheaks. re loient with graceful delicacy. There was jus t a l i t t le pensive sadness hovering over a • all, but faintly percepUble a t in-tervals. when tho big eyes ware not at tracted by another gaze, and which seemed to come out in splto of itself. Tbe lithe and round figure was d 'aped in the simplest o f ' gowns —homely, grayish woollen stu T, summer though i t was, and the young lady had the courage to dGspiso the absurd odict of fashion, which in those days imposed upon f i e fair sex the ordeal of wear ing crinolines.

As Lord Cleve had told Mr. Queu-ihelm, Lucy had lived with the young man whose life she h a i saved on the prair ies all these years, and the earl had spokeu tbe absolute t ru th when he had said tha t they had lived together as brother and sister.

Her fa ther and cousin ha<\ ren-dered her no fu r the r assistance than carrying the woun ed m in to a tem-porary plaoe of shelter , in a t imb le -down and disused t rapper 's hut , on the fur ther side of an incline on tho opposite s iJe o; tho gulch^ai d on a spur 0 the mountains, to ta iy dis-tinct from t h a t on which bolh Mae-lane's and Ashland's cahins we e situstcd. By these means, and by Lucy's silenco, they were sure of obUiining. at least, suflicient breath-ing time to secure a large amount of gold, and to be able to 11/ East, before tho avenging arm of tho rough border law oou d reach them. Not very far f rom the broken down-trap-per 's hut lived, in solitary ret i re-ment, an old Sioux half-breed, named Makasapa. who, like everybody else in tba t country, would have died to help Lucy. The old man spoke barely any English a t all, a l though his father had been a rough and ready f'ootch trapper, who. somehow or other, years and years before, had spent a few hunt ing seasons among the Dakotahs. and had disappeared without the least fu r ther enquiry about the fa te of his wife and child. But Lucy was fully conversant with most of t h e Indian dialects of the surrounding tribes, and had no diffl-e u l t y . in obtain ng the old half-breed's skilled assistance In the dress-ing of Herber t ' s wounds, and also in secuHnf h i s socreey on the s u b j e c t

Weeks passed thus, and the girl barely le f t he r charge for a moment. When tbe wounds began to heal, and the flickering, life became s t ronger , when oonsoiousnees returned and the danger of aoeusation grew more threa tening, t h e Maolanes paid hur-ried visits to the hn t , with ghas t ly pale faces, eaqn i r in? about' t he pa-t ient 's condition, and with ha rd - se t tee th vowing t h a t they would finish their ' job if the wonnded man's absolute silence could not be ob-tained. . T h e y h a d s truck a g r e a t lode of gold in the meanwhile, and had stored aw«y a h i g pi le o f the precious metal ready for sudden flight Again and again Lucy Itood determinedly In f ront of the man, who already owed he r h is l i fe; over a'hd over again she dared and defied h e r savage re l -atives. She went even so far as to order them out of the h u t a t the pistol's mouth; Lit t le by l i t t le , the Maclanes came to accept the danger of the situation, and to p repare for al l eventualit ies.

They had buried Dick Ashland in an out^of-the-way s p o t where no-body would have thought to look for h i m They removed all t races of bloodshed from the gulch bottom, and burned their own gore-stained

clothes. Thus thoy entertained the hope, by desperate impudence, to be able to brazen the matter o u t unti l t h f y could re t i re and disappuar in the g rea t th r iv ing East.

Great was their amazement, nnd equally g r ea t their relief, when IIm--bert , on recovering, rccoRiiized nei ther of them, nor Lucy: whon he seemed to wake, an from a droam. in | which aii the reminiscence of the bloody f ray was swallowed up; when 1

In fact, all memory of tha t terr ible j n ight and of all persons and plaoes, seemed to bo gone from the young man's mind. They looked at one ah-other in gr im and h'alf-frightened stare, as If the relief which had burs t upon them was too sure to bo • r e a l But the hours aud the days drew on, ana Herber t ' s condition rp- < mained the same. In fact, a t t h a t ' time, loss of memory was abholute; : acts of the morning were oblltcratdd I by the events of the afternoon, hnd ' the poor young fellow could not carry J his reeollectlon from one day to the j n e x t This surpr is ing dispersal of their fears qhanged the plans of the 1

Maclanes, and they urged Lucy to re- j turn to tbe parental cabin, nnd to ; share tho immense and newly-found wealth. But the gir l was firm. Sho f would riot again live with her guilty 1 fa ther and cousin. Sho would ra the r 1

die a hundred times, than toucli u red speck of 4 the i r blood-sUined gold. ; She would leave her relatives to ex- i plain the circumstances as b<)st they might, but she t would move far away from them and devote her life to the care and recovery of the man whom they h i d so dastardly assailed and , injured. She ga thered up her be- 1 l ong ings and those bequeathed to her by her dead mother, and hav ing pursuaded Makasapa to join his for-tunes to hers, the two set out with their now fairly recovering pat ient , to tho prai r ies nor th of tho South Platte, where Makasapa soon found them a home with some fr iendly Sioux.

As Herbe r t became stronger, his memory of ac tual occurrences im-proved and he w a t a b l e to remember events of the days and weeks as they swept by, but the p a s t even as near as his residence and recovery in the mountains, was gone. To all his questions concerning himself, both Lucy and Makasapa guve evasive answers, and. a s the eaquir ies fa-tigued him. a n i seemed to dis tress the girl , he did not continue them. As h is heal th and strentrth returned it b rought back his Impulsive, hot-hearted disposition, and. as was only natural under the circumstances, he fell head over ea r s In love with the beautiful girl who was bo good to h i m But Lucy knew how Ui ^ame her admirer into tac i t submission, and Herber t a t last resigned himself into l iving with her as a bro ther would with a dearly beloved sistec.

She loved him wi th tho pures t de-votion a woman's hear t is capable of, and jus t because her love was so pure, she, tbe daugh te r of an assas-sin. resolutely refused inseparably to link he r name with t h a t of an honest man. She would be his loving friend, his tender sister, his dog If need bo; but she would never have her hus-band awa<ce one day to the fact tha t tho wifo whom he nur tured was the daughter of tho man who had mur-dered his friend, and who had at-tempted to murder h i m

During all this while Lucy held no communication whatever with her fa ther and cousin, and the la t te r , whether i t were from Indifference or fear, sought none with her. There-fore. when the Maclano's met Lord Cleve in Hyde park thoy were thun-ders t ruck to find themselves face to face with the i r former victim, and they wore absolutely unaware that Lucy was In London a l so

Whon the cute New Yorz enqui ry-asroat finally tracked Herber t t o his morlng prairie home, and established his identity beyond chance of con-t adictlon. the young man fe l t sorely nonplussed .about his fu ture action as the bearer of a g rea t and ancient ti t le. He felt no desire to live In a cl ty.^fcd In addition to t h a t Lucy s t first declined to accompany him to E n g l a n d Lord Cleve had to oxer- i else all his powers of persuasion te Induce her to qui t tho New World for the Old. Even then she would aocopt but tr if l ing sums for the pur-chase of such Indlspensables In the shape of gowns and bonnets as the differenoe between pra i r ie and town life necessitated. She would have none of t h e " forfarows," as she termed them, which the oily persua-sion of the o l e r t f i the big Chicago dry goods s tore a t tempted to pross upon her, bu t chose the simplest and homeliest of materials . Tho Yankee crinoline, with Its e labora te a r range-ments of a hundred .silk-covered, pli-able springs, set her in an absolute roar, and made h e r exclaim, " I reck-on I ain ' t a dancin ' boar. When I am I'll buy myself a cage—not a fore . "

Thus It came tha t , on t h a t ea r ly summer evening when she rose to •Meet Lord Cleve, she was dressed in more s imple fashion than any of the maids who waited upon h e r and yet >

In a manner which none t h e less s e t ' off he r dazzl ing beauty.

•'You a re not a bit l ike the Loadon •girls," he said, "and I wouldn ' t have jrou change for the world. You

couldn't bo bet ter than ds you are-— not to my . liking—If you t r ied over so."

Her faco dimpled sweetly' and her eyes glistened as they f rankly ' teot his gaxo. ' .{

" I guess ." she said, " t h a t ' s , jes t because yew're used to me, an ' 'be-cause t h a r a in ' t been t ime ye t fo r any o' tho London g i r l s to hop around yew. But it ' l l come, as suro as rasp-berries don ' t grow on pine t rees . "

•-What will come?" ho asked, p la t -fully. . •

She walked awr.y. from him ana commenced druramingon tho r i n d q w panes, •looking a t tno crowd below.-'

"The young woman will come," she .said, " that ' l l want to marry yew. That 's sar t in sure ."

Having delivered herself of t h a t s tar t l ing phrase, sho commeaced to whistle "Yankee Doodle" with a verve and vigor which to an English ear would have sounded an amazing anomaly. ,

Tho carl stood for a moment or two in the center of tho room, and undecidedly followed Miss Lucy's movements. Then h e stepped to tho window, and bending his face in an unsuccessful a t t empt to gaze Into her oyo8,-ho asked: '

"W ha t has put that idea Into your head?" . . . .

She slip|»ed away from him and seated herself In the big velvet-cov-ered arm-chair which stood near.

"Nothin ' , " she exclaimed. " I guess it's nothin ' ."

Her mite of a foot was beat ing a march on the c a r p e t and he r eyes were drooped as I | she were search-ing for some object hidden there, w..en his encounter with the Mae-lanes, t h a t afternoon, crossed Lord Clove's mind. His misfortune had caused him to acquire a habit of dashing from one sub ec t to another, as he always dreaded to forget what he did not elucidate, when tho occa-sion presented itself.

"By the way, Lucy," he asked, "have you any relat ives ;of the name Maclann?"

There was such a fr ightened-fawn look •in those big blue eyes, and a s tar t led expression crept over the beautiful face.

" I 've got a fa ther an1 a cousin," she t epliel . " W h y do yew ask •"

••Is your cousin 's name-David Mac-lane?" Herber t continued In his en-quiry.

T h e trifling shadow deepened on the gir l ' s features.

"1 guess tha t ' s I t , " she replied. "Why do yew ask?"

"And is your f a the r a tall gentle-man ." he persisted, "wi th a big scar on his face?"

"Tha t ' s him, most l ikely ," she answered, rising, - B u t why do yew ask?"

" T w o gentlemen r a n across me in the park ," he replied, "and I was told they were Mr. Davl l Maclane and his unc la They are very rich, I am informed, and young Maclane is engaged to be married to Lady Evelyne Wyn te r . "

She bad listened In a pale s i lence Then she shook herself together , and, with a barely audible laugh, she said in a tone of perfec t com-monplace— l

"Dad and Dave in London! I never reckoned on t h a t "

"Do you know," continued Lord U e v e , " t h a t I fancy your fa ther and your cousin must have met me be-fore—under dlBagreoablo circum-stances 1 should say—for when they saw me they turned as white as ghosts. You a r e not ill, my dear?" ho added, seeing the color fade from her cheeks.

The fr ightened-fawn look was again in those big eyes, more tremu-lous than before, but i t was gone In a flash, and she burs t into a peal of si lvery laughter .

••Of course I a in ' t s i ck . " she re-plied. "bu t i t 's tha t stifling in th is place t h a t a Greaser couldn ' t stand I t I want a whiff of f resh a i r . "

Herbe r t rushed to the window and opened i t wide.

••What does i t all mean?" he said to himself. " W h a t docs i t mean?"

CHAPTER VL Miss Lucy set he r l i t t le wits to

work the moment she had recovered he r wonted self-possossion, to ex-t r ac t by a proeess of insinuatory wheedling, and a pleasing deceptive pressure of enquiry, f rom Lord Clove all he had learned about he r cousin, her father, and Lady Evelyne. She had no trouble in el ici t ing from the younsr man t h a t he had once been engaged to Lady Evelyne Wyn-ter .and thereby started Herber t upon the idea tha t he must needs, in h is usual slap-dash manner, wr i te a let-ter of. apology to the lady who had once upon a time consented to be h i s wife. The though t was no sooner born than It was acted upon, and young Cleve sat down a t the old-fashioned mahogany bureau t o . pen h is apology, while Lucy stood be-hind his chair looking over. him.
