by what then appeared to be the
strongest circumStantial evidences. "
The newspaper fell from Doctor
Danes quivering hands. he pulled
open the tin box and saw folded
sheet of paper lying ON the top of
something firm and heavy.
And this is what he read !:
DEAR DoCroR DEANE. E.-Yon are

1t was Christmas day.

In narrow, dirty street, not IA.

The woman and Child were asleep,

tt is haggard looking man who 81
there gazing at the twl Dsinss upIn

Six years before he had married.
and thinking that u splendid oppDr-
tnnity lay before him to make money
aud reputation in a distant city, the
young doctor with his wife had set
forth full Of the brightest hopes.
The money acquired by the prac-
tice Of his profession was enc day
..wallowed up in "a speculation which
had held out the Gayest promise Of
success.
He WAS penniless sickness came
upn his wife and child, and the doc

Without money, and consequent.

his small family took lodgings in
the wretched old house.
Mrs. Deane woke and looked at
her husband.
"YOu have returned" she muir

"Sr. E nmA. darling" answered

Fire in the Mountains.

Mountain fires ragged quite extern
sively in this county during the
past ten days. There were some
five or six different fires burning a t
once. With the exception of two
valuable bee ranches in the San
Gabriel mountai ms, the loss was
principally confiued to bee and
stock feed. Tn the range of noun
tains near Santa Monica, the fire
spread over about four miles
square. The fire In Cold Water
cafion was soon extinguished, hav-
ing done but little damage. The
one in Old Santa Monica cafion
started in the upper end sweeping
along the valley and mountain
sides, with wonderful swiftness,
the flames sometimes leaping from
peak to peak, distance of two or
three hundred yards. The only
thing the bee ranchers could do
was to protect their houses and
apiaries; and we are glad to state,
most OF them were successful.
Pearce & Rolph were surrounded,
the fire destroying everything but
the house. They had no bees.
Courtright, the man who started
the fire, got off with S25 fine.
Manville had u close call. He
saved his bees, but lost bis
kitchen and its contents. Baker
& Cox fought like Trojsrs, and
saved everything but two stands of
bees. They had large aplary and
q storehouse containing 10000
pounds of honey. At one time it
became so hot and suffocating that
Mr.. Baker took refuge in the we'll
and Mr.. Cox rolled himself in a
wet blanket. Mr.. Howard, who
occupied branch cafion, had the
rOughest experience of any. His
house and its contents, his horse
and dog were all burned. He fat.
tened himself in spring and from
time to time saturated an old shirt
with water and kept it spread over
his head. But he wasn't the sole
occupant of that spring. Lizards,
horn toads, and other little "var-
mints' tumbled in upon him "by
the peck" and finally two huge
rattlesnukes concluded that this
spring was a nice cool place during
a fire, and SO they tumbled in, too
As this was no time to get up
free fight, they all behaved nicely
aud finally separated without
single jar TO mar the harmony o
the occasion. There were NJ
Others, we believe, who suffered
materially from the fire.-Sdntt

AIr. Craw, for several wears fore. !.

Mr.. Craw, for several years fore.
man In Louis Wolfskill's nurseries,
is about to leave Los Angeles for q
permanent residence In a distant
part Of the world. Next week he
starts for his native land-Scot-
land--where he will spend month
visiting the scenes Of his child
hood, after which he goes to the
Himalaya Mountains, in India, to
join his brother who has q three
hundred-acre tea plantation. Mr..
Craw expects to 60 into the tea
raising business extensively. The
tea plant used In the mountains Is
sufficiently hardy to stand heavy
SHOWS and very cold weather in
Winter, and he believes the same
plant would thrive in Southern
California, the great drawback
here being the high price of labor.
In India tea plantations are run
with Coolie labor at what would be
considered here starvation wages.
DR.. w. w. Edwards was arraign-
ed before Judge Baldwin yesterday
on criminal charge of starting
the mountain fires near Pasadena,
on the San Pasqual ranch. The
evidence so utterly failed to GRIM
mate the Doctor in the slightest
degree that the charge, on
motion of the District Attor-
ney, was dismissed on the
ground that the evidence was
grossly insufficient to holl him.
The many friends Of the Doctor,
who is q most estimable and law
abiding citizen, will be delighted
to hear of his triumphant vindica-
tion. 1t appears that not stand
of bees was burned by any fire
starting from DR.. Edwards's prem

tained by fences in any direction
would be fully covered by fifteen
dollars.
