1, BAXTER'S SHEli
By EDMUND COMPTON.
(Copyrlcht. 13C8. by American 1T??? A?o
elation.]
Mr. Benjamin Raxter never forgot
that in college he had Iwu the rig hi
(football) tackle of his tlmo and had
pulled ?troko oar in the first university
race In which his college had beaten
after a Ions series of tic fonts. When, I
as a middle aged man with a bald
head and somewhat pnrsy stomach
be visited Eurt?iK> ho maintained that
If any sneak thief, robber or bandit
could pet away with him he was wel
come to do so. This did not satisfy
Mrs. Raster, who dreaded that. In;
Italy especially. her husband might be
kidnaped and held for a ransom.
Mr. Baxter had heard that one of th? j
principal sights of Rome was a visit to
the Coliseum by moonlight. One even
Ing while In the Eternal City, when
the queen of night was at the full, he
proposed to his wife that they gc
and view the ruin thus Illuminated J
Mrs. Raster refused. But ho persist
ed.
Lcavinc his hotel on the Esqualine i
hill, he strolled down a broad thor- i
oughfare and soon stood on a height
overlooking the eastern end of tho
enormous theater of the Caesars. He
was surprised to note how Immense It !
looked under the different light. The
great pile, or the remaining two-thirds
of It, built by slaves 1,000 years ago. I
where gladiators had fought and
Christians had been torn to pleeos by ,
wild beasts, rose against the sky like
the dark silhouette of a mountain. Go- ,
lng around to the entrance, Mr. Baxter
went within the walls and saw anoth
er sight? the moonlight throwing the
upper portions of the interior into con
trast with the shadowy lower parts.
Many visitors were there, but as the
hour was late they gradually departed. 1
Suddenly Mr. Baxter found himself
alone. To go out through the main en- ;
trance was to Increase the distance to '
his hotel. There were openings all
around tho oval, but not lighted. Nev
ertheless the fearless American con
cluded to make his exit by on?j of
them. It was very dark under the
archway through which he passed, es
pecially since that at that moment a
cloud rolled over the moon. Suddenly
he felt some one brush by him and a
cloth fly against his face. Ho had
heard that the members of the Inter
national I.eague of Pickpockets were
then working Rome and were used to
covering their victims' faces with a j
newspaper when robbing tbem. and It
flashed upon Mr. Raster that he was
suffering robbery. Clapping his hand
to his pocket, he missed the porto
monnaie he usually carried there.
Throwing his aruis around the person
who had passed him, he dragged him
back Into the arena. There he found
that he held a priest.
"Ah. ha!" he cried. "So you thieves
resort to the priestly dress to commit
your depredations. But you can't fool
an American. I'll get my money back
or I'll break your back over one of
these stone walls."
Then came a volley of words like an
explosion of a Gatllng gun, but since
Mr. Raxter knew only two Italian
words, "dove sta" (where is), they pro
duced no effect upon him. Fie felt all
over the man's body to find his porte
monnaie, but found only 10 centessiml,
or 2 cents. Then, after giving the
fellow his opinion of him (In English),
telling him that he had been very dex
terous in passing his plunder to a dark
figure whose footsteps were to be
heard running away, Mr. Raxter re
membered that, after all. there were
only a few five lire bills In the porte- ,
monnaie. So he gave the thief a sound ;
drubbing and a final kick and started I
out of the ruin quite pleased that ho ,
had lost none of his youthful strength ,
or courage. The only fear he felt was
at a possibility of having to appear
In court against the robber. On arriv
ing at his hotel he told his adventuro
to his wife.
"\\ hy, my dear, said Hint lady, I
have your pockotbook locked in the
trunk."
Thereupon Mrs. Raster unlocked the
Trunk and took out the pockotbook.
"Well." s.\ld Baxter meditatively, "I
downed him anyway."
There was a sharp rap at the door.
Opening It. there stood two of the na
tional police In swallowtail coats,
white cord algulllettes, cocked (Napo
leon) hats and swords. Any one could
see by the serious expression of thetr
countenances that the dignity of the
Italian realm had been offended. Be
hind them stood a delicate, intellectual
; looking priest, wiping scratches on his
face and forehead with a bloody hand
kerchief.
j Mr. Baxter, marching between tho
! officers of the law. was taken to the
? police office, where, summoning: his
Italian vocabulary, he kept repenting:
"Dove sta the Americano consulato?" ?
Ills plea was finally heard, and he
was permitted to write a Hue to the
consul, who came, but whose influenco
availed nothing but to secure for the !
! American who had maltreated an inof
fensive priest a fair trial. Baxter was
locked up.
The next morning before the time \
arrived for calling the case the consul i
visited the priest who had been as- j
sailed, and who proved to be a man ;
of Influence. The matter was ex- !
plaiued to the ecclesiastic, who listened
attentively. When the consul had fln- j
Ished, the Injured party said:
"Slgnore Baxter comes from a land
where there are a great many devoted j
sons of the church. Whether your ex
planation is correct or not I do not I
know, but if the matter was a mistake
I excuse It: if it was a wanton attack
I forgive it"
A cab containing the consul and the
priest soon after drove up to the law
courts, and Mr. Baxter wa? released.
HIGH PANS AT
CAHOON CREEK
Thomas Vogel, manager of tho Ca
hoon Creek Mining Co., arrived In
town Saturday leaving Tuesday. In
an Interview with a Plonwr Presa re
presentative Mr. Vogel stated that
every thing at the mine was moving
nicely and was surpassing expecta
tions. In speaking of the rich dirt,
Mr. Vogel told a little incident which
took place a few days ago. One of
the men noticed some dirt that seem
ed to carry some gold. Out of one
pan of this >15.25 was secured. Later
:n the evening another spot was notlc
ed out of which a single pan showed
a value of 167.25 which he said was
not taken off bedrock. ? Haines Pio

SETTLERGIVES
UP HOMESTEAD
Robert Grlerson of Haines was in
town last night. Mr. Grlerson has
abandoned his homestead between
here and Kluktoo, on account of ob
jections raised by the Indians, to his
taking up land near their village. He
is now looking over the country be
tween here and Porcupine with the
view of taking up another homestead.
We need more settlers of such
pluck and perseverance to take up
and cultivate land along the Chll
kat valley.
