He met her look and thought how

black velvet trimmed with soft furs and
wore a wonderful bonnet, adorned with
birds feathers and sparkling points;
delicate silken veil was bound around it:
Her oval face, with its bright eyes, small
straight nose and rather full lips, was per
fectly pretty; and now the blood, which
had been driven from her cheeks for mo-
ment. came ebbing back beneath the trans
parent skin. She was lovely, luxurious

Much Damage Done to Property in the

Much Damage Done to Property in the
Vicinity of San Mateo.
SAN MATEo, September 17th.-There have
been fires in the range of hills from near
San Benito to Crystal Springs the last few
days, and they are still raging in the hills
and passed San Andreas valley. The fire
has done considerable damage to the Spring
Valley fumes, some 1000 feet having al
ready been burned. But with the large
number fighting the fire, it will not be
likely to do much more damage, unless the
wind should spring up. In that case it
will be impossible TO say where the fire
will extend. There has been very little
damage outside Spring Valley Water Com
pany's works.
J. A. Drinkhouse lost his house and
sheds, which were fully insured. The
Sawyer house, occupied by a +. Green,
has been in danger, but will be saved. If
the wind should blow very hard the sparks
and cinders might be blown to the house
and burn it. The hills were covered by
dense chaparral and the fire makes grand
fearful sight at night. The fire will be
under control tonight or tomorrow should
the weather keep as calm as it is now and
has been for three days.
No news has been received of any lives
being lost in the fire or any one being in
jured so far.
SAN BERNARDINo, September 17th.-The
bush fires are still raging on the prairie
nine miles from town. Nine houses and
several haystacks have been burned thus
far, but no further damage is apprehended.
HUENEME, September 18th Fierce fires
are burning on Las Posas and Simi ranches.
Several buildings, hay and large quanti-
ties OF grain are reported destroyed. The
loss will reach several thousand dollars. 4
heavy east wind is blowing, but it is now
Veering to the south.

MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD.
One of the Three Thousand Ton Cruise
to be Constructed There,

One of the Three Thousand Ton Cruisers
to be Constructed There.
WASHINGTON, September 17th.-Secretary
Tracy is giving careful consideration to the
question as to what shall be done in respect
to the two S,G00-ton cruisers authorized to
be built by an Act of Congress-
The Department failed to secure bid
for constructing them within the limit of
the cost imposed by Congress. 1t was not
possible TO reduce the requirement as to
speed and increase the premiums, as had
been done in case of the 1000 ton vessels,
for the law had fixed these specifically.
There was little hope of securing lower
bids upon reimbursement, so that aside
from awaiting the tardy action of Congress,
the only alternative seemed to be to build
the vessels in the navy yards.
1t Is this phase of the case that Secretary
Tracy is considering, and should he be able
to satisfy himself that the work can be
done in a reasonable time and at moder-
ate cost, it is highly probable he will de-
eide to have it done at the navy yards.
Upon the first point it may be stated
that while the Eastern ship p-buiiding navy
yards are not crowded with work, Naval
Constructor Tichborn is prepared to rec
ommend that the Mare Island Yard be
given an opportunity to show what it can
do in the way of building a modern man
of-war. Acting under the authority con-
ferred by Congress, the Construction Bureau
has been actively increasing the plant at
that yard. Machine tools of the latest type
are being delivered rapidly, and the acting
chief constructor believes that within two
months the yard will be able to undertake
successfully the construction of at least one
of the 10 knot cruisers
