sibly not dreamed Of, established stage
coach line from Omaha to Denver, Salt
Lake and Sacramento. He made an inn
mense fortune, and returned to his native
place to build q home whose beauty and
dimensions should be a marvel to behold.
II proved his ruin. 1t required eight
years to erect the east wing and the main
building. Meanwhile his family went
ahead. The two daughters were beauti-
full women. They were taken to Paris by
their mother when Mr.. Halliday was a
very rich man. The elder married the
Comte de Pourtales, a member Of a dis
tinguished French family, and few
years afterward Pauline, the younger,
married the young Baron de Bussiere,
whose father was and still Is q rich
banker in the French capital. Mr. and
Mrs. Halliday were said to have opposed
both marriages. but the girls persisted.
The lives Of both were very unhappy
so much so that when their mother died
she stipulated in her win that, If any Of
her grandchildren married foreigner,
the property left to him or to her should
be forfeited to the estate. Nine. de
Pourtales died In a sleeping car some ten
or twelve years ago while on her way to
New York from California. Her death
was very sudden. and many stories were
current ut the time concerning Il. She
left two or three children, who are with
their fathers family In France
The unhappy result of Miss Pauline's
marriage to De Bussiere was matter Of
current report long before her death at
the New York hotel, which occurred some
eight or ten years ago. She had been that
summer with her husband at Trouville,
and after more serious quarrel than the
ordinary took passage for home on a
French steamer and died within two days
after reaching this port. Her body was
placed beside that Of her mother, sister
and brother in the chapel at 0phir farm
Mr.. Halliday. the elder, married second
time. The Baroness dc Bussiere left one
child. Paul, boy. He is living with his
grandfatherat the chateau in France.

the fact transpired that his costly place
at Ophir farm had ruined him It was
sold out under mortgage to John Roach
for 100000. Young Ben for time pre-
vented the requirement Of a clear title.
When this was granted Garnet Roach
went there to live. While Roach resided
there young Ben died. and after some re-
luctance Roach consented that his re-
mains should rest in the chapel beside
the other members Of his family. Then
Garnet Roach died and the place was
sold to Whitelaw Reid.

is not alone sufficient to catch q fish so as
to determine its kind, but if it enters
into use as do cod and halibut, a great

is necessary to know, not alone exact
depths Of water, but the CONFORMATION Of
