CHAPTER VIII.
TAD


The cab stopped on the Albert embank-
ment nearly opposite Lambeth bridge
Taras stepped out and gave me his hand %
If were a lady. The dingy old house be-
fore US had been shop. Taras took it for
the view it commanded of the river and
turned it into a dwelling house. What
had been the shop front was draped with
French muslin curtains within, drawn back
behind a shelf, on which stood some pots
of bright flowers.
While Taras was paying the cabman one
of the curtains WAS pulled aside, face ap-
peared for moment, and the next minute
the deor orened, and Mere Lucas stood
there looking, to nay eyes, as strange as the
window from which she had first peeped
out. She was so stout that she quite filled
mp the doorway, and her proportions were
the more noticeable for big apron of daz-
zling whiteness worn over her blue cotton
dress. On her head was an equally daz-
zling kind of cap had never seen before,
elaborately goffered, with the strings care
fully tied in a fine broad bow under her
double chin. There was pretty wave Of
silvery hair growing low on her forehead,
and then came her great broad face, with
its expression of healthy cheerfulness, not
less remarkable to the eyes of an east
ender than the spick and span neatness and
cleanliness of her dress

to her he spoke Tew words In French
which caused her to gasp an exclamation
of astonishment as she clasped her hands
together Then, after regarding me for a
moment in silence and round eyed won
der, she addressed me in her unintelligible
language, but / understood her tone Of
apology and self reproach, and the tremu-
lous emotion in her full lips and the affec-
tionate warmth in her soft eyes fully atoned
for any hostility she might at first have
shown. Finally, as If by an ungovernable
impulse, she seized me by the shoulders
and planted couple Of sounding kisses on
my cheeks, saying as she gave me one last
embrace before leaving the room, "Pauvre
cherie, vap'
/ remember that phrase because for some
time after she never looked at me without
repeating it in the same tone of compassion.
Indeed, with my thinness and careworn ex-
preston, must have seemed to the eyes OF
the fat, jolly soul deplorable indeed.
We were in the room which had been the
shop. 1t was low cellnged, but large and
very light and bright, by reason OF the long
window, with the white muslin curtains,
the flowers ana many pictures hung upon
the painted walls But that which aston
ished me greatly was the surprising neat
ness and cleanliness OF everything, for re-
ally this was the first time in my life that
had ever seen the inside of a decent room.
and next to this the table, which was laid
for lunch, excited my wonder.
There was vase OF cut flowers IN the
middle OF the spotless tablecloth, and IN
the plate set for Taras stood small LOAF,
set up in white servlette which would
have made me laugh If i had not been 30

Taras waited to hear no more, but turned
his back and left the Mariners Joy with
out word-doubtless not less to the as
tonishment than to the satisfaction of the
apprehensive Patty.
From Ferryboat stairs Taras hurried back
to the Thames police court. 1t was still
early, The magistrate was hearing appli-
cations in his private room. Taras sent in
his card. with a few words written below,
and obtained an immediate interview, in
which, with characteristic candor and di-
rectness, he briefly told what he knew of
my history, leaving the magistrate to form
his own conclusions as to the cause of my
attempt to destroy myself, and offered to
give sureties for my better behavior in the
future But before he had arrived at this
point the magistrate wrote an order and
dispatched it to the station The officer
who brought it took me back to the court.
Taras was standing at the door, and saw
by the light in his face that he had good

me whether went to prison or returned to
such an existence as had hitherto led in
Shadwell. The more important question
was whether Taras would come sometimes
to give me kind look, or whether having
done so much he would feel himself re-
leased from any further concern for my wei
fare and so leave me to my fate. These

LIGHT UP THE TOWER.
A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT AT THE
COUNTY COURT HOUSE.
Electric Lights Which Would Be Seen
Far and Wide-A Clock Which
Would Tell tho Time
at Night.

Los Angeles has tower on the county
courthouse.
There is also a clock in the courthouse
tower.
The dials are whoppers, being eeven
or eight feet in diameter.
During the day the tower looms up 80
one of the noblest structures in Southern
California, and one can tell the time o.
day from almost any part of the city.
Standing on an eminence as the court
houee does, the lofty tower is the most
striking object in the city. and such is
the location that it meets the eye wher-
ever one goes, to the uttermost limits OF
the city and even beyond them.
But when night comes the tower melte
into the night aud is swallowed up in
the darkness.
From their lofty perch the big han de
on the dials count the silent hours to
the stars, but not to the people of the
city.
To put electric lights in the tower
would be matter OF trifiing expense,
and why it has not been done is a cub
ject of wonderment.
1t is not very often that city has such
a vantage ground for sending out bea-
con light, and not to do so is parsimony,
not economy.
OF course there are a good many be.
lated wanderers at night who would be
distracted by the illumination and see
half a dozen dials. where one would
serve it's purpose, but the cumulative
effect would be good, even in such ceses.
There are foggy nights when even the
electric rays behind the dials would be
dimmed, but such nights are compare
lively few.
On the great majority of nights the
little light shining out from the tower
would be seen far and wide.
In nearly every city where there are
clocks in high places they are lighted up
at night, and the people of those cities
would raise perpendicular kick if the
lights were put out.
Once light up the courthouse tower
and il will be permanent improve
ment which supervisorial boards will
not neglect.
The subject was spoken of long ago
by the supervisors when the courthouse
wac under construction, but it was put
by as something that could be taken up
at any time. There is no time like the
present, has often been held up as a
copy book aphoriam, but in this case it
is all right.
Each member of the board of SUPER
visors would like to 60 down to posterity
es throwing as much light upon county
affairs as possible, and the lighting Of
the courthouse tower is a subject which
they might very readily take up and
carry forward to bright conclusion.

or rather Jail, is dandy. 1t is we'll

recorders Office is not overly we'll fur

box or log to cit on, nor box or table

was shown in their selection. Tho Jail

graphed and then written up and en-
graved in one of the many illustrated
magazines published for that purpose.
No doubt but that every citizen of Yuma
will take great pleasure in showing it to
visitors. To be fully appreciated it

WHIST PREVAILS OVER POKER
The Game of Science Superced-
ing the Game of Chance.
Los Angeles Not Much of a Place for
Plungers.
What Poker Playing There Is Is 70
Small stakes-One Faro Game Run
min e for Ono Patron--he Losses
and Winnings Very Small.

A man with an imaginative turn of
mind was unburdening himself, the
other day, to email crowd OF awe
struck auditors, of story to the effect
that he had just left friend who had
dropped $2500 at poker in one alter
noon.
A well-known sport who knows the
ropes thoroughly and is bit OF poker
player himself, dropped in at the con-
clusion OF the speakers stoty and re-
marked: "Come eff. I'd like to see
the place in this town where man
could lose $2500 in a year."
And the sport was pretty nearly
right.
Los Angeles contains, probably, as
little of the gambling element as any
town in the west.
There is, it is true. little poker
playing occasionally in the rear OF cigar
stores, but no one ever suffers, u nlees it
is some verdsnt youth, who bears the
suckers" insignia in his face.
AS rule the poker players who fre-
quent the cigar stores have frequented
them for years. They know one anoth-
er's play, and if $40 changes hands in a
day the habitues of the place consider it
large sum.
A snort time ago it was rumored on
Che str eet and in poker rooms that we'll
known young man of this city had lost
$25, 200 at poker at a single sitting. To
those who know the rumor appeared
ridiculous, but morning paper printed
the statement and swallowed the story.
Upon investigation it wac fouad that
in five years the young man had cost his
father s25.000 Some of this amount
was probably comprised in poker losses,
but the amount. as stated, covered the
expenditure of five years.
And the above story illustrates the
fact that most Of the gambling done in
Los Angeles is done in conversation.
There is probably more whist being
played at present than any other game,
and in more than one establishment the
game OF chance has had to give away to
the game OF science. OF course this bars
the draw down for the house, but they
make their profit from the cigars
smoked, for the whist players, as rule.

bacco.

Quoted not very for from Spring street,
and rumor has it that it is conducted
with the soe idea OF accommodating
gentleman of the Hebrew variety, who
it is said pays pretty highly for the
privilege OF being the lone bucker OF the

Take it all around, and with the ex-
ception of the Chinese quarter, Los

Late Saturday night two self-pos-

Melsted's restaurant, 116 West Second

They ate as though they might have
been members of the host of unem-
ployed.
When they had finished, a dispute
arose as to who should pay for the
meal. The dispute seems to have been
premeditated, for when the cashier be-
came tired listening to the argument

they rushed away.
