The driver from the chief hotel had
not entered the church. As he lin
gered with his horses two men came
by in a wagon. The men were old
friends of the driver In the bed of
the wagon, shaded by some branches
of the pawpaw tree, there was Jug
and the liquor in the jug was the driv-
er's dearest and most fatal enemy.
There we're three men in the wagon
when it halted beneath the trees, q
hundred yards below the church.
While the horses ate the men drank.
When the sermon was over Mrs.
Chalmers and her daughter ate their
luncheon. Afterward, while the Ia
dies plucked May apple blossoms and
enioyed the cool dampness which the
river exhaled, the driver slept. He
awoke often in a melancholy mood,
but they did not notice it; and each
time when he threw off his slumbers
he resorted to the jug, which had
somehow been left behind by the men
in the wagon.
Later in the afternoon the driver,
whose depression had increased since
the sun sank, hitched up his horses,
and the carriage began the assent Of
the long hill The Jug was left among
the May apple MOssOms. 1t was
empty.
Halfway up the hill a wheel dropped
into deep gutter and the carriage
came down with lurch and n crash.
1t was a hopeless wreck. The driver
looked at the broken wheel with indif-
ference and the ladies were in conster-
nation.
Glow far is it to town." asked Miss
Chalmers.

"Oh. dear, what can we do?"

pidlv. From his manner one might
almost be justified in saying that he
did not care.
"Well, driver, said Mise Chalmers
emphatically. II know You must
90 to town at once for another car
riage. 1t is now 3 o'clock, and you
can be back by 6 we will wait. "
The driver began to unloosc the
horses. He did not seem to be pressed
for time.
"You must hurry" she declared i'm
patiently. "And say, driver, if you
are back by sunset you shall have 50
extra"
He shook off his apathy, or seemed
to. and, mounted on one horse, led
the other rapidly away.
1t was always pad to wait. In this
case the two lonely women, oppressed
by the strange and solitary surround
ings. found the afternoon almost in
terminable. The Joshua of impatience
seemed to stay the sun at one spot for
hours. Six o'clock finally came; they
we're expectant Half past six: they
we're anxious. At seven they were
alarmed. The sun loitered no more,
but rolled swiftly over the opposite
mountain and drew the day with him.
They were terrified.
There was no house and no human
being in sight. They remembered no
habitation on the road for miles.
True, the log church stood in the bot
tom below, but the darkest shadows
had already gathered there. They
dared not enter the profound obscurity
which enveloped the valley and which
crept like living thing up the noun
tain side toward them. They clung to
each other like little children and
wept.

Mr.. Huntington foated another fairy

This story has gotten to be so old that
the officers of the North American Navi-
CATION Company and the Traffic Associa-

The news referred to. which cane by tele-
graph, is without foundation.
There appears to be boom in the af-
fairs of the San Joaquin Valley line. as
several letters have been received from
valley merchants stating that if necessary
the money for the new line could be raised
in that section. In speaking Of the valley
road prominent FrOnt-sireet shipper said
yesterday that 1t was matter OF vital i'm
portance to this city that 1t be built.
Active steps toward work on this line
will be started before the middle Of sum-

Rival Highbinder Tongs Fight and
Are Dispersed by the Police.


About thirty high6inders, members of
two rival tongs, had a pitched battle in
Cum Cook alley last night. Fists, clubs
and the butts of revolvers were used and
one of the conbatants was seriously in
jured Upon the appearance of Sergeant
Price and his posse the warriors disap-
peared. some of them taking refuge IL
house of i'll fame, which is believed to be
their headquarters. Eight female inmates
Of the house were arrested with the fugi-
tive hatchetmen. The women were re-
leased upon giving bail in the sum If 500
each. The men, who are charged with
visiting house of ill fame, are still In
prison. The police are un able to coniec-

that the exhllaratng liquor had something

EXAMINED HER MOUTH.

Pasadena Editor and Monrovia
Girl. ~
The Pasadena Star says the stairway
leading to it's Office has recently been
painted. which bit of observation-disclosures
on the part of the landlord has caused
the editor considerable trouble. in this
way: The next stairway leads to dental
parlors. and the painting of the Stars
stairway has led people to make mis-
take and 60 up to the news foundry to
have their dental work done. After re-
counting number of mistakes, more or
less annoying, the Star closes its article
with this pleasant experience:
another mistaken vieltor almost de-
cided the proprietors OF the Star to make
the best of the situation and open q
little dental annex for the accommoda-
ton OF patients seeking relief from molar
troubles. She was a Handsome and
winning young lady from Monrovia and
before the Star manager could stop her
she came around and took off her wraps
and hat, sat down in his arm chair and
asked him to examine her mouth as
soon az possible, as she wanted to take
the next train to Los Angeles. This was
a temptation not to be resisted and the
Office bcdkin was used "a dental probe,
and with one arm carefully around the
the young lady's neck, her teeth were
rapidly gone over with the bodkin and
the opinion was boldly ventured that
her mouth was in very good shape and q
very pretty one, and there would be no
charge for examining It,"

THE ARAIZA CASE.


Senator Del valle Says the Railroad Has
Not Won Yet.
In order to ascertain the exact condi-
tionsof the action by which the Southern
Pacific ia trying to dispossess large
number of settlers, a HERALD reporter
yesterday saw Senator Del Vale, prin-
cipal attorney in the case of the South
ern Pacific againat Juan Araizs, in
which Judge Ross of the United States
district court overruled the demurrer OF
the defendant.
He said: The decision OF Judge Ross
was not rendered upon the merits Of the
case, but only on demurrer to the bill.
The settlers have not been defeated,
nor have they lost their homes.
Whichever way the decision might
90, either on demurrer or on the merits
OF the case, the supreme court of the
United States will finally be called upon
to pass on the cases.
A case involving the questions at issue
is now being prepared to be presented to
the supreme court, and we expect some
action thereon by that tribunal before
the end of the year.

ter, Harry Morton, for you will never
leave this place alive. I will kfll you

yourself accidentally" and his finger
pressed the trigger. Morton raised his
right hand; lower and lower sunk the
cloud upon the mountain top; the
pressure against the trigger momentari-
ly relaxed as the murderer gave his in
tended victim one chance to speak-to
inter one parting word. You scoundrels,
he began and raised his hand with in
dex finger extended until it pointed like
the hand of an avenging angel to the
black heavens above: God will never
let this cowardly deed'-the sentence
was never finished. There was low
rumbling sound, g quiver that shook the
solid mountains to its foundation. q
binding fash of light from the intense
darkness overhead, mighty crash as
the thunderbolt of God descended the
lofty trunk of that towering pine, hurled
two BoBls into eternity, and tearing q
huge rent in the earth below, disap-
peared forever. Then came the roar of
rushing waters as the bursting cloud
upon the mountain's summit let loose
its pent up moisture. Down past the
riven pine and into the cavity formed
by the lightning blast rushed the mad
waters, carrying all before them, and for
ever leaving upon the arrows eide blot
that time can never effsce. Jehovah
had spoken.
''They found Morton after the storm
was over, crushed and mangled by the
weight OF huge limb that had fallen
from the blasted tree above. Tenderly
they carried him to John Worthington' 8
house, where he died few hours later
in the arms of Mabel Worthington. And
over yonder, just beyond where those
willows are growing, they are buried
Mabel and Harry, for after he died she
wasted away, and every day would sit at
his grave and decorate it with wild
flowers, and when the summer came and
the flowers withered away, she dropped
just like the posies, and for many years
now has slept by his side."
The old man had finished. The palm
leaves still waved gently over our heads; !;
little humming bird poised in the air a
moment and was gone the willow trees
were strangely quiet, and away up on
the mountain side the great Indian
arrowhead pointed to the peaceful valley
below. L. P. VAN DoREN.
