Jr WILLIAMS AND WALKER.
f The two real coons, Williams and
Walker, -who appear to-morrow even
ing at Poli's in their new musical com
edy success, "Sons of Ham," are
among the best known of America's
funmakers. For some years their
names have appeared as headliuers on
bills In the leading New York houses
of amusement, and they have been re
garded as a very popular drawing card
everywhere. In arranging a road tour
for them Hurtig and Leamou, their
managers, have surrounded them with
a very large company and added au
elaborate scenic equipment. The mu
sical, comedy in which they appear,
"Sons of Ham," is tilled with coon
melodies and funny antics, the per
formance being of that peculiar racy
kind characteristic of colored enter
tainers. Sale of seats is now on at 25,
So, 50, 7o cents and $1.
"UNDER THE RED ROBE."
The splendid romantic drama, "Un
der the Red Robe," will follow on
Thursday evening at Poli's. The play
is too well known here from previous
presentations to require any recom
mendation to show-goers. It is, per
haps, sufficient to say that the com
pany, headed by Paul Gilmore and
Miss Frances Gaunt, is a strong one,
fully able to handle the exacting re
qirements of the various roles, and
that the scenery and effects used in
the original production will be in evi
dence. The sale of seats opens to
morrow morning at 25, 35, 50, 75 cents
and 1. "
'' "A NIGHT IN CHINATOWN."
The big melodrama, "A Night in
Chinatown," jaill be the attraction the
last half of the week at the Jacques.
It is a splendid scenic production, deal
ing with life in San Francisco, and
some of the scenes are wonderfully
elaborate and picturesque. ' Dupout
street at midnight, an opium joint in
full blast, and other sensational views
are shown, the whole making a marvel
ously realistic production. The story
is perfectly natural, too, none of the
scenes or situations being overdrawn.
Sale of seats to-morrow.
' THE DERWIN MUSICALE.
. Thursday evening, November, 15,
will be a long remembered night for
lovers of the banjo, mandolin and gui
tar. On that evening will appear at
Poli's, under direction of J. J. Der
win, Valentine Abt, mandolin virtuoso,
and A. A. l'arland, the phenomenal
banjoist, assisted by A. Agnes Cho
pourian, soprano; Miss Jane A. Clark,
contralto; M. J. Slieehau, basso; the
Derwin Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar
orchestra (forty performers), and the
Derwin trio. As will be seen by the
list of artists engaged, Mr Derwin has
spared no expense in making this a
grand event and it is hoped that the
public of Waterbury will show their
appreciation by a large attendance.
The following is from the De Moines
Daily News, of April 4. 1S9S: The
mandolin sang its song of love and pas
sion; it sang of the sunny southern
land; it sang of war and victory; and
then it whisnprml
of the summer winds. The audience
sat as in a spell, then gave Mr Abt
the recognition that he so fully de
served. The house, echoed and re
echoed with applause, and Mr Abt had
scored a distinct triumph.
Valentine Abt. mandolin virtuoso, is,
"a marvel with that instrument. His'
.execution and skill are rarely equalled.
rThe attention which the audience ac
corded the performer was most flat
tering. The following is from the Buffalo
Evening times of May 7, 1895: "What
Paderewski is to the piano and Ysaye
-to the violin, Farland is to the banjo.
His work Is equally as wonderful as
theirs, is thoroughly artistic in every
respect and he could raise a symphony
brcbestra or a vocal society audience
to the heights of genuine enthusiasm."

The recent death of Mrs. Gladstone,
jwidow ' of the great English states

6he was able to render to her dis
tinguished husband during their wed
ded life of nearly 60 years, says
fYouth's Companion
: She was in fheYfullest sense his
comrade. She had n intelligent in

had to deal, and heVelied upon her
judgment as well as her sympathy.

that on one occasion, when her hus

standing- at his side, with simple dig

there to howl down the orator

Lord Beaconsfield. Mr. Gladstone's

nearly as much to the sympathy and
devotion of his wife as . Mr. Glad

CHAPTER X.
"Three mortal hours," said Miss Fol
som to her fond little school friend and
chum that afternoon, "have I had o sit
or strojl with or listen to Maj. Bur
leigh. I never ones was able to enjoy
the view. What made him hurry us
away from the northeast point, do.jrgu
suppose?"
."Did' you notice that, Nell? I did,
too, and I was so interested in the view.
Away up toward Laramie peak I could
see something through the glasses that
looked like a lot cf little ants crawling
along together. It was just after that
just after we looked through the
glass, that he marched us round to the
other side. The view toward Green
river isn't half as pretty."
"And now he's telling some in
terminable story to father over their
cigars. What shall we do if he hangs
on? Father will have to ask him to
drive with us to the fort, and there
won't be room."
"Unless Mrs. Fletcher gives up her
seat," said Jessie, demurely.
"Mrs. Fletcher isn't going. A very
different person takes her seat to-day,
Jess. Father left a note for Mr.
Loomis at the hotel and he accepted.
Now vou see why I don't want Ma;.
Burleigh."
It was then long after three o'clock.
At five they wero to start, and Jessie
could hardly curb her impatience. The
mail from Frayne, so said Folsom,
would arrive that evening, and then
surely there would be news of Mar
shall. They had slipped away to their
rooms after the bountiful luncheon
served on their return, in order, as
Pappoose expressed it, that the gen
tlemen might have their cigars in
peace. Mrs. Fletcher, after seeing that
everything was prepared, had direct
ed the servant to say to Mr. Folsom,
on the return of the party, that she
would prefer not to appear, and would
be glad to keep her room, as she did
not feel it at all necessary for the
housekeeper to meet strangers, and
Folsom felt a sense of relief. It was
so much sweeter not to have any pre
siding genius othar than Pappoose,
not that he was forgetful of Mrs.
Fletcher's merits and services which
were great but it was plain to see
that his daughter would have been
happier had no such office existed as
that created for this deserving and
destitute widow. At three Miss Fol
som had gone and tapped at the lady's
door her room was in the third story,
overlooking the street and was very
civilly assured that Mrs. Fletcher
stood in need of nothing, but, being
wearied, she would like a little sleep.
No, she did not even care for a cup of
tea. Yet Elinor felt confident that
the voice that replied to her inquiries
came neither from the bed1, nor the
lounge, but from the direction of the
front window.
At three the cigars were smoked out
and the host and his guests were ia
Ihe voice caca neither from bed nor loungo.
the library. It was Folsom's custom,
when a possible thing, to take a brief
nap after the midday meal, and Elinor
felt sure he would be glad- of the op
portunity now, if Burleigh would only
go, but Burleigh wouldn't. In monot
onous monologue his voice came float
ing up to the second floor, drowsy,
unbroken in its soporific flow, and the
girls themselves, after the morning's
drive in the clear, bracing air, felt as
though forty winks would' be a uless
ing. Could it be that Burleigh lin
gered on in hopes of their reappear
ance below? Might it not be that if
relief came not speedily Papa Fol-.
som would yield to the spell and fall
asleep in his nasy-chair? Was it not
Miss FolsomU duty to descend and
take the burden of entertainment oil
tho&e elder shoulders? These thoughts
oppressed the girl, and, starting up,
she cried:
"It's simply wicked' of me staying
here and letting poor papa be bored
to death. Do come- down, Jess, dear,
unless ' you're -too dreadfully sleepy.
Ife acts just as though he intended
never, to go."
And Jess promised reluctantly to
come down in ten minutes, if he didn't
leave; but she hated! him, and had
hated him ever since he spoke so of
Marshall in, the car three days before.
The upper hall had been quite dark
when Miss Folsom went up to inquire
how Mrs.' Fletcher was, just after
luncheon. The door to her -little room
was tightly closed. - The blinds In all
the other rooms aloft were drawn
against the glare of the sunshine in
the cloudless atmosphere, yet now, as
Pappoose' stepped suddenly out upon
the Iahdjng, she was surprised to see
that the upper floor was much lighter
than when she went up half an hour
earlier. The maid had not gone thith
er from the kitcen, send Mrs Fletch
er wished to doze. Whor then, could
haVe opened both blind and door and
let ia that flood of "light? Impulsive
ly the active girl flew up. the. win-dins
stairs to the third story, and! some one
suddenly withdrew from the balcony
rail, and an '. instant - later, as - Miss
Folsom reached the top,-all became
dark again.; Mrs. Fletcher's door had
unquestionably been open, and was
now shut to. She must have been out
there listening, and gravely the young
girl asied herself what it meant
Mrs. Fletcher's agitation in. the li
brary that morning as she peered out
at tbe major's wagon; her absence
from luncheon on account, as sha
pleaded', ef &et desiring to appear
when company was prasant; and now,
despite her desire to slep, her vigil
at the third-floor landing, where she
was surely listening to the sounds
from balow.
Pondering oyer tha facts, Elinor
Folsom slowly retraced her steps and
went downstairs. She reached the li
brary none too soon. Old John's eyes
were closed .and he was slowly top-'
' pliiig, overcdiue with sleep. The sound
of her cheery voice aroused him, and
he started, guilty and crestfallen.
Burleigh's heavy face brightened
visibly at her .coming. He cared no
more for music than does a cat, but
eagerly followed her across the broad
hall into the parlor when she suggest
ed showing him the beautiful piano
papa had give;i her; and old John,
blessing her, lurched . for the sofa,
buried his hot head in a pillow, and
was asleep in ten seconds. Maj. Bur
leigh was alone with the lovely daugh
ter of the veteran trader. He was a
man of the world, she an unsophisti
cated girl just out of school so said
Burleigh, albeit a most charming one;
and he, who had monopolized her time
the entire morning, bore down once
more upon his prize.
She had seated herself at the piano,
and her long, tapering fingers were
rippling over the keys. She knew full
well he did not care what she played,
and for herself she did not care just
then to play at all. She was thinking
of his insinuation at Marshall Dean's
expense. She was still pondering over
Mrs. Fletcher's stealthy scrutiny of
the quartermaster's team.. On these
two accounts, and no other, he was
possessed of certain interest in El
inor's dark-brown eyes, and they were
studying him coolly, searchingly, as
he drew a chair near the piano stool,
and seated himself and met her look
with a broad, encouraging smile.
Trill and ripple, ripple and trill her
white fingers raced over the keyboard.
"I'm sure you know this waltz, ma
jor," she was saying. "They played
it beautifully at the Point two sum
mers ago."
"I ah, yss, it's a charming composi
tion charming, though I don't re
call its name just now."
"This? why it's one of Godfrey's
'The Hilda,' don't you know? I'm sure
you waltz, major."
"I ah, used to, yes. I was very
fond of a waltz," answered Burleigh,
whose best effort in that line could re
sult in nothing better than a waddle.
"But of late years I I since my be
reavement, have practically with
drawn from society." Then, with a lan
guishing smile, he added: "I shall be
tempted to reenter the list now," and
the major drew his chair nearer by
full an inch, and prepared to be fur
ther "killing."
"Jessie dances divinely," said Miss
Folsom. "She simply floats round a
room. You should see her waltz with
her brother, Maj. Burleigh. They
might be waltzing here this very min
ute, if he were only home. What
can have detained him, do you think?"
"I wish I knew," said the quarter
master slowly. "It makes those who
are ah his friends, you know, anx
ious in more ways than one, because
there is er nothing to warrant de
lay nothing to excuse it. He should,
in fact, have been at his post, where
his troop is sorely needed, full four
days ago," and Burleigh looked heavy
with portent.
"Is it not possible that he has found
something along the lower Laramie
something where his troop is needed
much more than here doing stable
guard?"
"How can it be possible?" said Bur
leigh. "The only thing to warrant
his delay would be Indians, and there
are none south of the Platte; or horse
thieves, and they hung the last of
the gang three months ago. Mr. Dean,
I ah regret to say, is fonder of fish
ing and hunting than of his legiti
mate duties, and this, I fear, is 'why
he is not here to welcome his sister."
The piano went rippling on, but the
brown eyes kept up their steady gaze.
In the deep bass chords now her slen
der fingers were entangled. Slowly
and thoughtfully the - rich - melody
swung in the proud waltz rhythm
through the airy room and floated out
upon the summer breeze. A little line
was setting deep between the dark,
arching eyebrows, a symptom Pap
poose's schoolmates hadlearned to note
as a signal of danger, but Burleigh
knew her not, as yet.
"It is odd," said she, dreamily, "that
at the Point the officers spoke so
highly of Mr. Dean, and here you
seem to think so differently of him.
It is a deep disappointment to his sis
ter that he is not here, but do you
know, major, we were saying only
this morning before ' you. came that
there was some excellent reason for
his delay, and we'd know it within
another day."
"Oh, ah er of course I hope so. I
think, pardon me, that that must be
a messenger from my office now,", for
spurred oo-hols jvyere , coming
briskly up the wooden "walk.' There
was a bounding step on the piazza, a
ring at the bell. The servant bustled
through the hall and threw open the
door. It was not a messenger from
the depot, but a stalwart, sunburnt
man in rough ranch garb, who
whipped off his broad-brimmed hat
and stood abashed within the hall as
he asked for Mr. Folsom.
And all of a sudden over went the
piano-stool with a crash, cad out into
the- hall, joyous, bounding, light as a
fairy, a vishja of dark, girlish beauty,
went Pappoose,
"Why, Ned Lannipn!" she cried, as
she seized the swarthy young fellow's
hands and shook them up and down,
"Don't you know ' me Winona that
used to be?.4 Why, how woJl you look!
When did you leave the ranch? How
did you leave them?. Is Hal here or
coming?" - "
And. at sound of her voice old Fol
som had started up from his sofa and
came trotting out into the hull, just
roused ffom his sleep, and blinking a
bit aa he. too. held forth cordial., wel
coming hands. It was a moment De
fore they could let Ned tell his story,,
and thin it came by jerks. . r
"We .left there early yesterday
morning, mum. They're all well now,
'cept Jake, and he'll come out all
right, but we had a close call. A war
party of Sioux jumped us Wednesday
afternoon, and they'd a got away with
us but for Dleut. Dean and his troop.
They come along just in time "
'"Ned!" gasped Elinor, "you don't
mean they attacked the ranch?"
"Ne'saa. We was down the Laramie
rouadiog up horses. There was a
dozen bucks ia the party. It'a-tha
first time they've come across in a
yaar that 1 know of, and they won't
be apt to try it again. We shot two
of 'em and the cavalry drove 'em a
running fight, so hard that thay had
to leava oae of their -wounded behind
then. He died in a minute. It was "
and tten Ned Lannion gulped and
stumbled and choked in embarrass
ment. 1 . i .
"Who was it?" demanded Mr. Fol
som, his ruggsd face pale and twitch
ing, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Chaclia, sir. You know."
Folsom gripped him by the shoul
der. "And Burning Star did you see
him? Was he there?"
"Yes, sir; but those boys of Lieui.
Dean's gave them a lickin' they'll
never forget. The ranch is safe as if
it was here in Gate City, only Hal he
couldn't come himself, and he knowed
you'd be anxious for full particulars,
so he sent m: in with the cavalry.
They're out at the fort now."
"Jessie!" cried Elinor, in delight that
overmastered the emotion with which
she had) listened to the tale of her
brother's recent peril. "Marshall's here
almost home. It's just as we said,
Jess. Do come down. He was there
just in time to save my brother's life
to drive the Indians back to the river.
Come quick I want to hug you! " And
her dark eyes flashing with joy and
excitement danced full upon the bulky
form of the major, slowly issuing from
the parlor door, then beyond as she
went bounding by him, all eagerness
to clasp her bonny friend in her arms
and shower her with congratulations.
And so it happened that both the girls
were at the rear of the hall entwined
in each other's arms at the foot of
the stairs when the ranchman an
swered Folsom's next question, and
then broke out with the abrupt an
nouncement: "I never see a young of
ficer handle his men better. We'd all
been in hell by this flme if it wasn't
for him; yet, by God, sir, the moment
he got into the post they clapped him
in arrest."
CHAPTER XI.
That evening, when John Folsom,
j half an hour earlier than the stipulated
' tinie, drove the girls and their friend,
i Lieut. Loomis, out to the fort, Maj.
Burleigh was left to his own devices,
j and his face plainly showed, that he
was far from pleased with the wpy
things were going. The news that
Marshall Dean had been placed in: ar
rest by order of the commanding offi
cer of Fort Emory, following as it did
close on the heels of the tidings of
that young officer's prompt and sol
dierly handling of the crisis at the
ranch, made Folsom boil over with
wrath. His first word was one of cau
i tion, however. "Hush!" he said.
"Speak low. Y'onder stands his sis
ter. ' The girls must not know yet."
Then, leading the way into the library
and clocing the door behind them, he
demanded all particulars Lannion
could give him, which were few enough.
"The lieutenant halted the troop out
side the post," said the indignant
ranchman, "had it dismount there
while he rode on in to report to the.
commanding officer for instructions.
The colonel was taking his nap after
lunch, and the adjutant was at the
office, and what does he do but get
up from his desk solemn-like, and when
the lieutenant says: 'I report the ar
rival of troop C at the post, sir,' the
adjutant didn't answer a word, but
reached out and got his saber and be
gan buckling it around him, and then
he put on his cap and gloves, and says
he: 'Lieut. Dean, I'm sorry, but my
instructions are to place you in close
arrest, by order of Col. Stevens.' Why,
you could have knocked me down with
the kick of a gopher I was so dum
founded! The lieutenant he didn't say
anything for a minute, but turned
white and looked like he could have
knocked the top of the adjutant's head
off. 'An officer, will be sent to take
charge of the troop,' said) the adjutant,
'an I' suppose you'd better confine
yourself to yiour tent, as the colonel
means to have them camp there a day
or two, until he hears from Capt.
Brooks as to quarters. 'Well, will you
have the goodness to say what charges
have been laid against me?' said Mr.
Dean, and the adjutant hemmed and
hawed, and 'lowed that the colonel
hadn't formally drawn 'em up yet, but
that a copy would be served on him as
soon as they were ready.
"Then I said I'd go right in andi find
you, and that's all I know."
And then it was that Folsom turned
on Burleigh, with gloom in his eye, and
said: "By the Eternal, Maj. Burleigh,
I hope you've had nothing to do with
this!"
"Nothing in the world, I. assure you,
Mr. Folsom I I deeply regret it.
Though, as I have told you, I can hard
ly be surprised, after what has been
said, and what I have seen." But
the major could not squarely meet the
gaze in the keen'eyes of the old trader,
nor could the latter conceal his sus
picions. "I know you wish to hear all
the particulars of the affair at the
ranch from this gentleman," said the
major, uneasily, "so I will leave you
with him for the present," and back
ing out into the hall he turned to the
foot of the winding staircase where
Elinor had met her friend. The girls
were still there, their faces, clouded
with surprise and anxiety. It was an
opportunity not to be lost.
"Pray do not be troubled, Miss Fol
som," said Burleigh, advancing upon
them with outstretched hand, "er Mr.
Folsom merely wants to hear further
details from Lannion. I wisn to extend
my congratulations to you and ah
(hU young lady, first' upon the for
tunate "escape of ' your brother," and
he bowed over his distended stomach
to Elinor, "and second upon the part
played by yours, V and he repeated the
bow to Jess, who, however, shrank
away from the extended hand. "It will
go far to" counteract the stories that

justly, doubtles, at er his expense."
"Who put them in circulation, Maj.
Burleigh?" asked Pappoose, her brown
ej-es studying his face as unflinchingly
as had ier father's gaze a moment be
fore. "Thai, my dear young lady I er
cannot surmise. They are mostly im
aginative, I dare say."
But Miss Folsom looked unmollified,
Miss Dean agitate'd, and Burleigh him
self had many a reason for feeling ill
at ease. Just at the time of all others
when he most desired to stand on good
terms with the well-to-do old trader
and his charming diaughter he found
himself the object of distrust. He was
thinking hard and far from hopefully
as a moment later he hastened down
the street.
"Tell them to send up my buggy,
quick," were his orders as he stepped
withini his office doorway. Then low
ering his voice: "Has Capt. Newhall
returned?" he asked the chief clerk.
"The captain was here, sir. Left
word he needed to take the first train
freight or constructions it made no
difference to Cheyenne and expected
to find a letter or package from you,
and there's two telegrams in from de
partment headquarters on your desk,
sir."
The major turned thither with sol
emn face, and read them both,, his
back to his subordinate, his face to the
light, and growing grayer every mo
ment. One was a curt notification
that $1&,COO woul be needed at once at
Warrior Gap to pay contractors and
workmen, and directing him to send
the amount from -the funds in his keep
ing. The other read as follows:
"Have all transportation put in read
iness for immediate field service. Every
wheel may be needed."
This he tossed carelessly aside. Over
the first he pondered deeply, his. yellow-white
face growing dark and hag
gard. Ten thousand dollars to be sent at
once to' Warrior's Gap! Workmen's
pay! Who could have given such an
order? Who would have imagined
payment would have to be made before
July, when some reasonable amount
of work had been done? - What could
3aborers do with their money up there,
even if they had it? - It was preposter
our! -It was risky to attempt to send
it. But what was infinitely worse for
him it was impossible. The money
was practically already gone, but not
to Warrior Gap.
