G/te Spenders SYNOfSIS OP PRKCKDINO CHAPTERS Chapter I.Daniel J. Bines died of apoplexy In his private car\at Kaslo Junction. His father, Tien but eccentric, Known as "Uncle" Peter nines, is somewhere in the mountains prospect ing. Tlie whereabouts ot the son of, the dead man is not definitely known, but he- is supposed to be at some point on the north ^Atlantic coast beginning the season's pursuit of happiness as he listed. Tho wife of the de-ceased and his daugh ter are at the family home at Montana City. The newspaper accounts of the death speak of the - deceased as haying been, accompanied by "the young and beantlful Mrs. Bines." Those who know the facts read the statement but make no comment. ,, ^ Chapter II.Peter Bines was an argonaut of 1S."0. For twenty years he sought for gold and found it at last. He tried to find enjoyment in spending his money, but without success, and de cided to return to the mountains, where it pleased his fancy in the summer season to go alone prospecting for gold. Chapter III.When the superintendent of the One Girl mine at Skiplap was notified of the death of Daniel J. Bines lie sent one of his men, Billy Brue, to find Peter Blties. Brue discovers the old man in the mountains, tells him of the death of his son and accompanies hint to Skiplap, the old man musing on the way with regard to his dead son and grandson who is now to take his father's place. Chapter IV.A soctional war rages in the Bines home at Montana City, the east against the west: Undo Peter insisting on the family home remaining in the west,' while Perclval and his sister wish to go to New York to live. The mother is neutral. The final result is that the young people and their mother decide to go cast and Uncle Peter remains in the west for the present. Chapter V.Peter and Perclval make the rounds Inspecting the family properties. Grand father and graildson come to understand each other better and to think better of each other. Chapter VI.They meet a group of strangers at the One Girl mine. Among them is a girl whom Perclval has seen before, but did not know. He takes the party down into the mine. Perclval and Miss Mllbrey get separated, pur posely, from the rest of the party in the mine and made rapid progress in getting., acquainted. Miss Milbrey is greatly exercised till she finds that Perclval is the owner of the mine. : A Tale of the Third Generation. CHAPTER VII.Continued, The Rapld-FIre Torgnon Is Spiked. Miss Milbrey was apart from the group, Having doffed the waterproofs, she was now pluming herself with those fussy looking but mysteriously potent little pats which restore the attire and mind of wom en to their normal perfection and serenity. Upon her face was still the amused look Perclval had noted below. "And Mr. Bines, do come in with that auaint old grandfather of yours and lunch with us," urged Mrs. Milbrey, who had, as it were, spiked her lorgnon. "Here's Mr. Shepler to second the invitationand then we shall chat about this "very inter esting west." Miss Milbrey nodded encouragement, seeming to chuckle inwardly. In the spacious dining compartment of of Shepler car the party was presently at lunch. "You seem so little like a western man," Mrs. Milbrey confided graciously to Per cival on her right. "We calculate he'll fetch out all straight, tho, in a year or so." put in Uncle Peter, from over his chop, with guileless intent to defend his grandson from what he believed to be an attack. "Of course, a young man's bound to get some foolishness into him in an eastern college like this boy went to." Percival had flushed at the compliment to himself also at the old man's failure to Identify it as such. Mr. Milbrey caressed his glass of claret with ardent eyes and took the situation in hand with the easy confidence of a mas ter. "The west," said he, affably, "has sent us some magnificent men. In truth, it's amazing to take count of the western men among us in all the professions. They are notable, perhaps I should say, less for deliberate niceties of style than for a cer tain rough directness, but so adaptable is the American character that one frequent ly does not suspect theirerhumble origin." "Meaning their western . origin?" in quired Shepler, blandly, with secret intent to brew strife. ' "Wellerto be sure, my dear fellow, not necessarily humble,of courseper haps I should-have. said-" "Of course, not necessarily disgraceful, as you say, Milbrey," interrupted Shepler, "and they often do conceal it. Why, I know a chap in New York who was posi tively never east of Kansas City until he was twenty-five or so, and yet that fellow to-day" he lowered his voice to the pitch of impressiveness "has over eighty Bone Pains, Itching, Scabby Skin Diseases.

'exclaimed Mrs. Drelmer, the blonde. Mr. Milbrey looked slightly puzzled and Uncle Peter chuckled, affirm ing mentally that Rulon Shepler must be like one of those tug-boats, with most of his lines under the surface. "But, I say, you know, Shepler," pro tested one of the solemn young men, "he must still talk like a banjo." "And gargle all his 'r's,' " added the other, very earnestly. "They never get over that, you know." "Instead of losin' entirely," put In Uncle Peter, who found himself feeling what his grandson called "Westy." "Of course, he calls it 'Ne' Tawk,' and prob'ly he don't like it in Boston because they always call 'em 'rawroystahs.' " "Good for the old boy!" thought Perci val, and then, aloud: "It is hard for the west and the east to forgive each other's dialects. The inflated 'r\ and the smoth ered 'r* never quite harmonize." "Western money talks good straight New York talk," ventured Miss Milbrey, with the air of one who had. observed in her time. Shelper grinned, and the parents of the young woman resisted with indifferent success their twin impulses to frown. "But the service is so wretched in the west," suggested Oldaker, the carefully dressed little man, with the ' tired troubled eyes, whom the world- had been deprived of. "I fancy, now, there's not a good wafter this side of New York." "An American," said Percival, "never can make a good waiter or a good valet. It takes a Latin, or, still better, a Briton, to feel the servility required for good service of that sort. An American, now, always fails at it because he knows he is as good as you are, and he knows that you know it, and you know that he knows you know it, and there you are, two mir rors of American equality face to face and reflecting each other endlessly, and neither is comfortable. The American is as uncomfortable at having certain ser vices performed for him by another American as the other is In performing them. Give him a Frenchman or an Ital ian or a fellow born within the sound of Bow Bells to clean his boots and lay out his things and serve his dinner and he's all right enough." "Hear, hear!" cried Uncle Peter. "Fancy, now," said Mrs. Drelmer, "a creature in a waiter's jacket having emo tions of that sort!" "Our excellent country," said Mr. Mil brey, "is perhaps not yet what it will be there is undeniably a most distressing rawness where we might expect finish. Now in Chicago," he continued in a tone suitably hushed for the relation of occult phenomena, "we dined with a person who served champagne with the oysters, soup, fish, and entree, and for the remainder of the dinneryou may credit me or not he proffered a claret of 1875I need hard ly remind you, the most delicate vintage of the latter half of the centuryand it was served frappe." There was genuine emotion in the speaker's voice-.- "And papa nearly swooned when our host put cracked ice and two lumps of sugar into his own glass " "Avice, dear!" remonstrated the father In a tone implying that some things positively must not be mentioned at table. "Well, you shouldn't expect too much of those self-made men in Chicago," said Shepler. "If they'd only make themselves as well as they make their sausages and things." sighed Mr. Milbrey. "And the self-made man will talk shop," suggested Oldaker. "He thinks you're dying to hear how he made the first thousand of himself." "Still, those Chicago chaps learn quickly enough when they settle in New York," ventured one of the young men. "I knew a Chicago chap who lived east two years and went back not a half bad sort*" said the other. "God help him now, tho his father made him go back to work in a butcher shop or something of the sort." "Best thing I ever heard about Chi- cago,'' said Uncle Peter, " a man from your town told men once he had to stay in Chicago a year, and, says he, 'I went out there a New Yorker, and I went home an American.' he says." The old man completed this anecdote in tones that were slightly inflamed. "How extremely typical!" said Mrs. Milbrey. "Truly the west is the place of unspoiled Americanism and the great un spent forces your are quite right, Mr. Bines." "Think of all the unspent forces back in that sitocr mine," remarked Miss Mil brey. with a patent effort to be significant. "My perverse child delights to pose as a sordid young woman," the fond mother explained to Percival, "yet no one can be less so. and you. Mr. Bines. I am sure, would be the last to suspect her of it. I saw in you at once those Sterling quali ties" "Isn't it dreadfully dark down in that sterling silver mine?" observed Miss Mil brey, apropos of nothing, apparently, while her mother attacked a second chop that she had meant not to touch. "Here's hoping we'll soon be back in God's own country," said Oldaker, raising his glass. "Hear, hear!" cried Uncle. Peter, and drained his glass eargerly as they drank the toast. Whereat they all laughed and Mrs. Drelmer said. "What a dear, lively wit. for an old gentleman." "Oldaker," said Shepler. "has really been the worst sufferer. This is his first trip wedl." "Beg pardon. Shepler! I was west as far as Buffalolet me seein 1878 or '79." "Dear me! is that so?" queried Uncle Peter. "I got east as fur as Cheyenne that same year. We nearly run into each other, didn't we?" Shepler grinned again. "Oldaker found a man from New York on the train the other day. up In one of the emigrant cars. He was truck driver, and he looked it and talked It, but Oldaker stuck by him all the,afternoon." "Well, he'd left tlie old town three weeks after I had. and he'd been born there the same year I wasin the ninth wardand he remembered as.well as I did the day Barnum's museum burned at Broadway and Ann. I liked to hear him talk. Why. it was a treat just to hear him say Broadway and Twenty-third street, or Madison square or City Hall park. The poor devil had consumption, too. and probably he'll never see them again. I don't know if I shall ever have if. but I'd never leave the old town as he was doing." . , "That's like Billy Brue," said T?nele Peter. "Billy loves faro bank jest as this gentleman loves New York. When he gets a roll he has to play. One time he landed in Pocatello when there wa'n't but dne game in town. Billy found it and started in. A friend saw him there and called him out. 'Billy,' says he, .'cash In and come out that's a brace game.' 'Sure?' says Billy. 'Sure," -says .the feller. 'All right,' says Billy, 'much obliged fur puttin' me on.' And he started out look in' fur another game. About two hours later the feller saw Billy comln' out of the same place and Billy owned up he'd gone back there and blowed in every cent. 'Why, you geezer.' says his friend, 'didn't 1 put you on that they was dealin' brace there?' 'Sure,* says Billy, 'sure you did. g But what could I do? It was the only game in town!' " "That New York mania Is* the same sort," said Shepler laughing, while Mrs. Drelmer requested everybody to fancy immediately, "Your grandfather is so dear and quaint," said Mrs. Milbrey "you must certainly bring him to New York with you, for of course a young man of- yo.ur capacity and graces will never.vbe fied out of New York.. "Young men like yourself are'assuredly needed therei" remarked: Mr. 'Milbrey, warmly. "Surely they are," agreed Miss Mlbrey, and yet with a manner that seemed almost to annoy both parents. They were spar ing no opportunity to make the young man conscious of his real oneness with those about Mm, and yet subtly to inti mate that people of just the Milbreys' perception were required to divine it at present. "These westerners fancy-you .one. of themselves^. I dare say," Mrs. Milbrey had said, and the young man purre'd under the strokings. His fever for the east was back upon-him. His weeks with Uncle Peter going oyer the fields where his father had prevailed had made him con valescent, but these New Yorkersthe very manner and atmosphere of theriH undid the work. H e envied them their easiei** speech, their matter-of-fact air of ominscience,". the elaborate and cultivated simplicity of their dress, their sureness and sufficiency in all that they thought and said and did. He was homesick again for the life he had glimpsed. JJven tlnde Peter, whom he had come to warimy admire, jarred upon him with his -cruwity and' his- western assertiveness. And there was the woman of the east, whose presence had made the day to seem dream-like and she was kind, which was more than lie would have dared to hope, and her people, after their first curious chill of indifference, seemed actually to, be' courting him. She, the fleeting and impalpable dream-love, whom the thought of seeing ever again had been wildly ab surd, was now a human creature with a local habitation, the most beautiful name in the world', and two parents whose com plaisance was obvious even thru the lov er's timidity. - :" CHAPTER VIH. Up Skiplap Canyon. The meal was ending in smoke, the women, excepting Miss Milbrey, having lighted cigarettes with the men. The talk had grown less truculently sectional. The Angstead twins told of their late fishing trip to Lake St. John for salmon, of pro jected tours to British Columbia for mountain sheep, and to Manitoba for elk and moose. ' Mr. Milbrey described with minute and loving particularity the preparation of oeufs de Faisan, av ec beurre au cham pagne. ' . Mrs. Milbrey related an anecdote of New York society, not much,, in .itself, but which permitted the disclosure that she habitually addressed- by their first names three of the foremost society lead ers, and that each of these personages adopted a like familiarity toward her. Mrs. Drelmer declared that she meant to have Uncle Peter Bines at one-.of her evenings the very first time he should come to New York, and that, if he didn't let her know of his coming, she would be offended. Oldaker related an incident of the ball given to the Prince of Wales, traveling as Baron Renfrew, on the evening of Oct. 12, 1860, in which his father had figured briefly before the royal guest to the abid ing credit of American tact and gen tility. Shepler was amused until he became sleepy, whereupon he extended the free dom of his castle to his guests, and re tired to his stateroom. Uncle Peter took a final shot at Oldaker. He was observed to be laughing, and in quiry brought this: "I jes' couldn't help snickerin' over his idee of God's own country. - He thinks God's own country is a little strip of an island'with a row of well-fed folks up and down the middle, and a lot of hungry folks on each side. Mebbe he's right. I'll be bound, it needs the love of God. But if it is His own country, it don't make Him any connysoor of countries with me. I'll tell you that." Oldaker smiled at this assault, the well bred, tolerant smile that loyal New York ers reserve for all such barbaric belittling of their empire. Then, he politely asked Uncle Peter to show Mrs. Drelmer and himself through the stamp mill. At Percival's suggestion of a walk," Miss Milbrey was delighted. After an inspection of the Bines car, in which Oldaker. declared he would be willing to live for ever, if it could be an chored firmly in Madison Square, the party separated. To Be Continued.

Wyo., April 23.--No further trouble in the Sweetwater country is ex pected this spring. The cattlemen have decided to permit sheepmen to use their leased lands and certain other tracts, but this fall will mawe a determined stand against further encroachments of sheep in the Sweetwater country. The truce was decided upon only after long discus sions among the cattlemen who are willing to give the flock = masters time to find other ranges during the summer.

One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day is a fund of information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and atrminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as Syrup of Figsas figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste.' - This excellent remedyis now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effectsand its use may be discon- tinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that it is the one remedy which physicians and parents well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial'effects. ' ... Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedySyrup of Figsand the full name of the Company- California Fig Syrup Co.printed on the front of every package. ^^^^^^^^&ssmmmmxmi^t Shepherds 2C FEFECT OF THE TARIFF It Drives American Companies to .Operate Large Plants in For eign Countries. Berlin, April 23.American commercial enterprises in Europe, especially in Ger many, are on the threshold of striking developments. The growing improbability of tariff concessions, thanks largely to the unbending, attitude ,of the. United States with respect to reciprocity, together with the likelihood that the present domestic prosperity of the United States will be permanent, has led a great variety of American manufacturers to consider the erection of works on European soil as the only means of holding the foreign market. Itis announced that the Carborundum company of Niagara Ealls has decided to build a factory in Prussia. The Westing house Electric company and the Worthing ton Pumping company are contemplating similar projects. The Singer Sewing Ma chine, Chicago Pneumatic Tool, Ameri can Radiator and Virginia and Carolina Chemical companies have plants in the course of construction in this country. The American Luxfer Prism company, the Niles Tube Works, the Diamond Match combine, the American Tobacco trust and the Oliver Typewriter company are al ready established here.. Europeans are adopting American methods so extensive ly that the main advantages Americans have enjoyed are disappearing, and unless they manage to eliminate tariffs and Skirts and Suits As a special concession to this Bargain Friday we will offer some mote of those $6 and $6.50 dress skirts and walking Skirts at $3.98. - These sold so rapidly at the sale a week or two ago that we are sure that a new lot will lie ap- O Qft preciated$6 to $6.

Pittsburg, April 23.The rock on which the ministers split, when the Congrega tional, Methodist and United Brethren met yesterday to discuss church union, was the question of church government. The policy of the United church, the cen tralization "of authority, and the au tonomy of the local church formed the text of deep discussion. There were those who: contended for the congregational doctrine, under which each church is self governing Others stood for the Metho dist itineray and conferences with au thority over churches in the appointment of ministers.
