THEIR BLACK SHEEP Scion of a Prominent Eastern Fam- ily Held at Helena on Charge H e Was Once Regularly Ordained of Procuring. and Later Studied Law and ipeci&l to The Journal Helena. Mont.. Dee. 29.Four Denver girls who assert they answered an adver tisement of Robert J. Stickney for chorus feirls and came to Montana qnly to find 'themselves driven from the train to a 'house of ill-fame, are determined to make Stickney suffer for the deception. They asert that the Crystal Slipper Comic Opera company existed only in Stk'kney's imagination, and on the strength of their testimony he has.been bound over to the district court on the charge of procuring. During the preliminary hearing inter esting information came out concerning the romantic career of the defendant. Hid parents are wealthy arid respected eastern people. His father was a lawyen of prominence. The boy was sent to college, and as he had deckled leanings toward the ministry, he took up the study of theology. M e was regularly ordained a minister of the Unitarian church in New York cltv In 1884. He never had a regular call as minister, but on several occasions filled pulpits in both the east and west. On one occasion he delivered a sermon at Father L'zzeli'.s famous church in Denver. The voting man later took up the study of medicino and in 188S secured his degree from the 1 niversity of Maryland. In the same in stitution he then began the study of law, his father's profession. About this time his mother died and he fell in with the fast set and began to drink heavily and indulge in other, forms of dissipation. His remaining relatives cast him off, or rather pensioned him to come west. He is and has been for many years paid $125 a month to keep a.way from home.

Dec. :9.It has, just be come known that a secret meeting of dele gates from lodges of the Ancient Order of Foresters in Colorado, New Mexico. Wyoming and Utah has been, in session for several days past with intervals of adjournment and that at these meetings a new organization of P^or^sters was formed under the title of the Modern Or der of Foresters. Tt was thought that the disaffected element in the order in this section had baen pacified through the visit West of High Chief Ranafev Hays of the Atlantic division for several months, and the announcement of the formation of the now body came as the explosion of a bombshell in the camp of the old mem bers.

TRADES ASSEMBLY WAR The Denver Trouble Settled by an Agreement, Denver, Dec. 29.The local war be tween the two trades assemblies in Den ver hag been called off and by the ratifica tion of an agreement decided upon by committees there will be in the future duly one trades assembly in Denver. Over a, year ago the two assemblies split 'over the question of affiliation with the Ameri can Federation of Labor,.or the American Labor Union. The point was the affiliation of the fire men's union, whose national body belonged to the latter national organization. In the settlement the local assembly will become a part of the American Federation of Labor but there will be a provision in the new constitution to the effect that alt craft unions shall affiliate with their na tional organizations. The question of ex isting dual unions., will, be dealt with by arbitration committees. Labor circles as far south as Texas rind north to Montana. will be affected by the settlement of the local fight. Soo Line Local Holiday Rates.

Quibcroh Touch _ "Gentlemen^ T am glad to see you." said sHawke, affectionately, scanning the faces of the men about him, some seated on chairs, others on transoms, or leaning against the bulkheads, or across the table before him. "Captain Grafton, whom I have appointed to the Torbay on-account of his distinguished services at the taking of Quebec, informs roe that the fleet of de Conftans. which has been reinforced by the squadron of de Bombart. is about to sail for Quiberon. We will at once go in pursuit of them. The Vengeance is going on ahead to carry the news, and I have dispatched Harrison, in the Venus, to warn Duff, and I trust one of them at least will succeed in getting there in time. If not" "Well. I know Duff." broke in Vice Ad miral Hardy, the second in command and a most distinguished officer, "he will make a good fight of it. although, of course, he has no ochance with his fiftv-gun ships yet I II wager Monsieur d e Conflans will know that he's had a fight on his hands before he takes them.'* "Quite so." answered Hawke. coollv, "and perhaps it may be just as well any way they should meet, because Duff would probably be able to occupy him. between chasing and fighting, until we get hold of him. Now. as to our plan of battle." said the admiral, looking about his cabin. It was a day when stern adherence to prescribed rules was inyariably insisted upon, and many a gallant sailor had ruined a, reputation and lost a battle since he could not seize a golden opportunity for a decisive step Wecause the necessary maneuver was not laid down in the text books. Hawke was not that kind of a man. They waited for him interestedly they knew him. "Gentlemen." he said at last. "'J pro pose to go at them whenever we see them and whenever we find them. We'll at tack them in the old way and make down right work of them, as we did with L'Btenduere, and every man will pitch hiv 1 want no court-matials on this oc casion.

The Torbay will follow at a distance of perhaps half a league, and the other ships in the prescribed order will keep the same distance. By this means, with the frig ates, we cover something like fifteen leagues and make the chances of our sighting the French fleet almost certain, and yet we'll be within easy signaling distance,, so that we can collect the ships when w e meet them. I want every ship in readiness for instant action.

We are the sole fleet left to guard the'shores of the land we love. Should Conflans get away or beat us:" "He'll never do that same," cried Denis of the Dorsetshire. "There would be nothing," continued Hawke, "to prevent him from landing his army on our shores. Our king, our country, and our homes the children, our wives, mothers, sweethearts, the women Of Kngland, are behind us, gentlemen we fight for them. Let that thought ani mate us to do bur duty.

The wind was coming from the south eastward and increasing in force, and she had to beat out of the harbor. Far ahead of her to starboard was the Maidstone the other way, to larboard, was the frigate Coventry. With ill-concealed impatience Grafton waited in the Torbay, already hove short, until he judged the Royal George had at tained the required distance ahead, and then he, too, gave the signal to trip. The men sprang to the capstan bars the anch or was jerked from its oozy bed with a celerity like that exhibited' by a crew when they weigh anchor of a ship that is homeward bound from a long cruiee. Sail after sail was quickly spread on the old seventy-four by her eager men, and she ratched out of the harbor on the port tack in the wake of *he Royal George, now far ahead and going fast. The wind was coming stronger, and as the great ship, swept along she heeled to thebreeze and surged rapidly away to the southwest. The others weighed, in succession in ac corflance with their - orders. I n a few hours the whole fleet would he at sea fol- 39c 9vivU iiim lowing In the wake of their gallant leader. Early that day the aloop-of-war Gib raltar, twenty-eight, Captain William Mc Cleverty, hove in sight, and reported to Hawko that the Brest fleet had indeed sailed. They had been seen that morning about twenty-four leagues northwest of Belle-isle steering toward the southeast. They were carrying sail hard and seemed to be in a hurry. The firsthand only signal hoisted that day was then thrown from the mizzen royal masthead 01 the aamiravs snip, it was repeated from ship to ship and was everywhere greeted with cheers, and yet the flags composing it spelled but three short words: - "Conflans is out!" of November, 1759, the ships of the little squadron.of Commodore Duff lay strain ing at their anchors in Quiberon bay. The squadron was composed of the old line of-battle-ship Belliqueux, the fifty-gun ships Rochester (flag), Falkland, Chath am and Portland, and the frigates Miner va and* Sapphire, each thirty-two. Ow ing to the lateness of the season it was not yet dawn, although the hammocks had been piped up and one watch was already at breakfast. The bay and the ships were as calm and peaceful, appar ently, as they had been at any time dur ing the weary months of the blockade with which Duff, under Hawke's orders, had shut In the transports of Belloc and d'Aiguillon and the selected force assem bled under their orders for the descent upon England, The commander, was still asleep in the Cabin Of the Rochester when the report of a heavy gun far to seaward attracted the attention of the officer of the watch. Gun-firing was common enough along the shore, where the camps of the enemy lay, but it was rare indeed that the sound of it came from the open ocean to the west ward. Of so much importance did the officer conceive the incident to be, that he immediately dispatched a midshipman to apprise the commodore of the fact. Duff sprang from his berth, and, real izing the ominous significance of the oc currence, dragged on a few clothes and ran to the deck. As he dressed, the com modore heard the firing, which had been repeated again arid again. It' was evi dent from the regularity of the discharge that it came from a single ship. The darkness prevented them from discover ing What ship it was. though from the steadily Increasing volume of sound the Vessel was rapidly coming in. Indeed, from the flashes of light which marked the sev eral discharges, they judged that she must be even now approaching the CardinalB. Duff and his officers on deck peered eagerly to seaward, waiting in anxious expectation for the advent of the stran ger. Meanwhile, a preparatory signal, which bade the other ships get in readi ness to weigh anchor, -was made by means of lanterns from the Rochester. Quick answers showed that the officers of the little squadron were also awake to the incident and already on the alert. It was evident to every one that the sound could only have been caused by a ship signaling. Urgent danger alone would account for the continuous discharges. Signals to an English squadron would only be made by an English ship. They could only mean that, a French fleet was making for the harbor. *.- ... Duff uneasily waited a few moments longer, and presently, reasoning the af fair out, determined to get to sea at once. He realized that it was more than probable that the strong westerly gales which had prevailed during the past week had forced Hawke to raise the blockade, and that the Brest fleet had got out a few days before when the gale had abated, before the English sips could get back to their station. Naturally their destination would be Quiberon. If he were caught tn the confines of the little bay he would be lost. Out at sea he could at least make a run for it. There was, of. course, a chancenay, more than a chance,, a certaintythat old Hawke would be hard , on the heels of the French, who would be in such force that resistance on the part of Duff's little squadron would be madness. Having at last made up his mind, he acted with the promptness of a- sailor. It W"ere better to lose no time, and the CHAPTER XXX. The Alarm In the Morning.

Gold Furniture *BMH ships of his squadron were signaled to put to sea immediately. By their command er's direction they did not even wait to weigh anchor, but cut cables as fast as sail could be made, and, favored by a strong easterly breeze, rushed for the narrow entrance of the bay. The Bel liqueux, which happened to lie farthest out, was the first to get under way. She was followed by the other ships in quick succession. Just as they reached the pass between the Cardinals and the - reels of X.e -four they drew within signal distance of the incoming ship. It was gray morning now, and from the deck of the Rochester they could make out her number by the aid of their glasses. " 'The Vengeance, Captain Nightin- gale,' '- read the signal officer who stood at Duff's side. "Show the answering pennants smartly, sir." "Ay, ay, sir." As soon as i twas discovered on the Vengeance another set. of signals was displayed. " 'The ! Frencheare ade,'1 " read th signal office again. "Ah," said Duff, "I thought so! We were none too soon, then. Have you an swered them?" "Yes, sir, and there goes out another signal:" '*.-- "What is it?" "Hawke is coming'." cried the officer triumphantly. "Of course, I expected nothing else." said Duff, smiling with satisfaction. "Now signal the Vengeance to follow the squadron, and then direct the ships to follow the Belliqueux. Signal her to round the Cardinals and beat up to the nor-west between Haedik and Belleisle." The stout 5l\Jpa were by this time cov ered with canvas and were rushing through the water at a great rate, the Belliqueux, which was much the. best sailer, being far in ' the lead. In* fact, she had already rounded the Cardinals, and with her starboard tacks aboard was well within the dangerous pass between the two islands, when the wind, which had been northerly, suddenly shifted to the westward. This was most unfor tunate. -.'- (To Be Continued To-morrow.) California, via Tourist, Over th Reek Island Ry.
