CHAPTER xv.-A DOUBLE MEETING.

From the Duke of Melvornes great es-
tate in Dakota we went south through the
beautiful prairie country of Nebraska,
thence into Colorado. There Melvorne
had another, though smaller estate that
he wished to visit
Denver, the quaint city Of the West, was
our final resting place. 1t lies at an alti-
tude OF 1915 feet, and about fifteen miles
from the mountains.
Going TO the Windsor Hotel we enga-
ged rooms had dinner and went ont to see
the city. We passed down one of those
long, straight streets, shaded on either
side by beautiful trees. On each side of
every street flows constant stream of
water, often as clear and cool as a noun
tam brook. The water is supplied to the
city from the Platte river, by means of an
open channel. The fountains and water
works are supplied by the Holly system of
pumping the water from the river. 1t is
sent with such force through the pipes
that in case of fire it sends strong stream
Of water through the hose.

freshing this warm day." l said, as we
were passing along the shady street.
Denver never seems to me oppressively
tains and these little rills always insure a
refreshing temperature, said Melvorne.
This city, with it's wonderful develop
ment of art the unexpected intelligence of
its people; their refined method of thought
and handiwork; their knowledge CT science
and their great material wealth, exhibit

he says The powers of busy brain are

tAe mind OF one man, if we could trace it
home, was what conceived the possibilities
of this mighty city," l said, after spending
hours looking at the wonderful things
brought into use in the few years since
this was known as the great desert of the
West.
"Why, Waverland, you are quite elo-
quent IN your praises of this new world
But it is wonderful as you say. 1t is like
the fairy palaces in the Arabian Nights"
''Do you know how many Inhabitants
this city has?''
about seventy-flve thousand"
Chow clear and pure the air seems. 1t
Is a luxury to breathe it," I said
The climate is one of the things that
Denyerites ere very proud of. Do you see
plants?" asked Melvorne, calling nv at
tention to beautiful yard where a foun-
tain was sending up its silvery spray, that
glistened in the rays of the setting sun.
Eyes, | see him. What is the use of his
watering things? Everything looks as
bright and fresh as those lilies at the base
of the fountain"
That's the secret of all this beauty. If
it were not for the use of the bitches, pipes
and hose, the sitting sand would choke
everything in Denver"
why, are there never any showers to
supply nature With the needed moistures"
seldom am rain falls, though clouds
often appear. The display of lightning is
magnificent and sometimes very destruct-

shop was sick at the time and his phan-

deal of trouble, performing ali sorts of
tricks on the. invalid, such as pulling down
the bed OF which he lay, burning sheets,
coverlets, ETC.. and at one time even going
