And before Bolton can say another

Bolton standing alone with the money
in his hand.

makes his way back to his hotel, "and

blows out his candle, and in high good

His fury exhausted. he goes to cup

out the contents, which proved to be

count his money. "Not enough" he
mutters, gloomily. IF I leave, and
of course I'll have to leave after this,
we must crack the crib. There's moth
ing else to be done. That Bolton
blast him-why did he ever come to

Now the butler fetches pens, ink and
paper, and proceeds to scrawl in his
turn the following epistle:

Somewhere back in the fifties Doug
lass McTavish settled in Victoria, Brit
ish Columbia, and bought real estate
in what is now the heart of the city.
He married an Indian woman, by whom
ne had one child. a girl. When she
was still young her parents died. 1t
now appears that McTavish left will,
bequeathing to his girl property now
valued at $500, 900. The Hudson Bay
Company ignored the sale Of the land
to McTavish, and has been selling lots
to many OF the citizens. Upon these
lots fine ediices have been built, but
the title, as will be seen, is imperfect,
and big lawsuit is to follow.

Scarlet the Sacred Color.

In Italy, Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt
and many of the Oriental countries the
archaic images of the deities were paint
ed red, and it has been said that the ira
ditional practice was intended to please
"the color sense" by which is meant
that these images were regarded as pretty
gewgaws. This is not likely, and the
true explanation is that the color Of red
was sacred. All pristine creeds can,
with probability, be traced ultimately to
two origins. They are, in different dis
guises, the worship of the sun and the
worship Of homanity. Red became,
therefore, an exceptionally odious color
when the ascetic temper gained possess
sion of religion. The author Of "The
Wisdom of Solomon" betraysa profound
antipathy to the color in the following:
cor make it like some wild beast, laying
it over with vermillion, and with paint
coloring it red, and covering every spot
therein"

Greatest Artesian Basin in the World

In the upper San Joaquin Valley. -
what is moro commonly termed the
Tulare Valley, is to be found the great
est artesian basin in California, if not Il
the United States. 1t covers territorv
about sixty miles in length and from
fifteen to twenty miles in breadth. and
is gradually extending. Many Of these
wells discharge over 1000, 600 gallons q
water every twenty-four hours. and
there is one in the Smith colony in Kern
County which flows 100000 callons
every twenty four hours. Such wells
said to be capable of irrigating two sec.
lions of land, and good sized canal .is,
required to carry the water. Another
well spou!s water to height of thirty
feet whenever the well is uncapped. Just
south OF Tulare Lake, and within 4
radius Of ten miles, there are abouA
three dozen of these wells, averaging :
flow of nearly 100000 gallons to the
we'll for every twenty-four hours. Some
OF these wells send up considerable ma
tural lnfiammable gas; and there is
well near Tulare Lake where, it is said.
coffee can be made from the heat fur
nlshed by the gas as it comes up out Of
the we'll. A short time ago the we'll
borers working on the farm of Charles
Lamberson, near Tulare lake, brought
up pieces of petrifed wood with their
augers when at depth of 1000 feet
How it came there is matter for con-
lecture. During the summer a gentleman
living in Kern County was surprised
one day by finding several small fishes
in trough where the. water ran out Of
an artesian well located ON his ranch.
At first he supposed that someone was
trying to play o joke on him. He took
the fishes out of the trough, but his sur
prise knew no bounds when next morn
ing he found quite number of the
finny tribe swimming around. There
was but one way to account for their
being there. They had come up out of
the artesian well. An examination Of
the fishes by different persons resulted
In their being pronounced species that
is to be found in the Owens River
country, situated almost directly ON
the opposite side of the Sierre Nevada
Range. In the month of August one Of
the wells lying near the northern shore
OF Tulare Lake gave ind;sputable signs
of a subterraneln disturbance. The
water suddenly fell in the well, and as
suddenly rose again, but in that short
time the color it assumed was an ashy
white. 1t also became tepid and re-
manned in that condition for several
hours, when it resumed its usual con-
dition

Before Kibbey is aware of Bottoms
intention, Bolton strikes match, and
holds it exultingly in the buffers face.
Il think if this young lady should go to
Madam, and tell her the past history of
Kibbey the butler, that Kibbey the
butler would be summarily dismissed
from Bywater Park said Bolton
tantalizingly. IL feel sure that is what
the end of this affair will come too. As
for mel am this young lady's father,
and there is no law in America that
will deprive her of her fathers society.
Come now, Scarth-for you are Scarth
had you not better try to make some
kind of terms with us, in order that
you may not lose your present situa-
tion?"
Send the lady away and will talk

her to go away. She is already fitting,
scared and trembling, toward the house.

Goodnight"
Bolton turns upon his heel. He ad-
vances two steps, stumbles, and falls
headlong over some strange object
that suddenly springs up from the path
in the darkness.
@Kibbey," calculates Loo, in terror.
"Yes, Kibbey," says the butler.
Now, miss, what will Madam say

affair with strange man in the Park
grounds"
Bolton had recovered himself, and as
the buffers insulting words reached
his ears the father rushed upon him.
That voice" calculated Bolton, as
he seized the newcomer. "Who are
your Good God! it's Scarth"
The butler writhes away from the
grasp OF the angry father. In the
rapidly growing darkness his face is
rendered indistinguishable. Gould

looks now, he would fear for his life.
