The Value of Telephone Service.

The value OF Telephone Service.
The cheapness Of the telephone SER
vice has been illustrated convincinglv
by the general manager Of Missouri
exchange. During the day he made
the operators keep a record for the
complaining subscriber, and at night
he knew exactly how many times the
telephone had been used. He finds out
that it is cheaper to use telephone
than postal cards for any kind Of bust
ness. The way lie figures out this is
to divide the cost Of the telephone for
year by the number of days, which
gives the cost to the subscriber per
day. A telephone that costs S72 a year
costs e0c per day. If the telephone has
been used twenty times in the day.
each call has cost the subscriber inst
lc. or the price of a postal card. The
average telephone. however, makes
between twelve and thirteen calls a
day. and answers an equal number,
which makes tho cost to each subscrib-
er whose instrument is used little
less than 1c for each conversation.
or course. the number of calls on q
telephone varies. In some houses each
Interview costs &c or more. while there
are others that do not pay over two
mills or three mills for each interview.
In many houses it is customary to
send all orders to the butcher and
grocer over the telephone, and in
many other directions the use of the
instrument gives promise of wide OK
tension. Already calls, by mutual I'M
derstandtng. are made over the tele.

hand resting lightly OH the top Of the
lower half of the sash. Nearly her
whole figure was revealed in the morn
ing light. She was blond-a type rare
in New Mexico, although her eyes were
not foreign to the country, being of
deep and soulful black. For moment
Lieutenant Raymer fancied he was look
ing upon countrywoman, but rosary
and cross of Mexican filigree, a silken
rebozo and that indefnable grace Of
pose and manner peculiar to the Latin
races stamped her as foreign, If not
Mexican, while the golden hair and fair
skin, the beautiful regularity of features
and certain delicacy of the ears nes-
tling in the rimpling hair proved con-
clusively that she was of the exclusive

As the lieutenant gazed at this young
girl he was prompted to all act which
we will not attempt to excuse, although
among the fan and handkerchief flirting
ladies of Spain and the colonies of that
land of warm impulses it is not looked
upon as an objectionable sin against the
proprieties. He raised his white gloved
hand to the rim of his hat and executed
a half salute. The young lady immedi-
ately disappeared from the window.
During the "a hours of his tour of
duty Raymer's thoughts frequently re-
yerted to the incident connected with
the last guard mounting, and the redec-
tion that he had made bad impression
upon one whose beauty so attracted him
was far from pleasant.
Next morning he again took his way
to the plaza. this time to enact the part
of old officer of the day. He again
paused at the sundial and sought the
parlor windows, beholding the fair vi
sion of the previous morning standing
as before. She exhibited, however, no
consciousness of his presence, looking
beyond him at the band and assembling
guard. This time tie ieetensnt made
no demonstration that could give Of
fense, but simply indulged himself in
occasional glances and passed at the
proper moment to the place of review.

CHAPTER l.

CHAPTER I.
The second call for guard mounting
had sounded, and the new officer of the
day stood leaning against the railing
that inclosed the sundial before the gov
ernor's palace, idly awaiting the arrival
of the regimental band and the details
from the companies composing the gar.
rison of the neighboring fort.
The palace occupied the whole west
ern side of the plaza its gray adobe
walls suggesting nothing palatlal, but
from the time when the governors of
the Mexican republic reigned like east
ern satraps over this isolated territory
down to the present day it had borne
the title of Ell Palacio, and, although it
had long since ceased to be the largest,
costliest or even the most comfortable
residence in Santa Fe, the name still
clung to it.
The plaza was at the time Of this
chronicle barren waste, occupied by
market men and women from the ad-
jacent country. Here their patient bur-
ros stood in groups, loaded with wood,
grass and vegetables and other country
produce awaiting bids from purchasers.
Opposite the center of the palace and
Just outside the bordering row Of COT
tonwoods stood the sundial, which had
been placed there before the trees were
planted and allowed to remain after
they had attained their growth, al
though in the later hours of the day the
rays of the sun could not reach it. The
dial was mounted upon granite pedes-
tai and surrounded by low iron rail
ing. Against this railing the new officer
of the day leaned one June morning,
his face turned toward the parlor win.
dows Of the palace. He was young
fellow above the medium height, firmly
built and graceful. A we'll balanced
head upon square shoulders and face
of regular and handsome features indi-
Gated character firm ana resolute. His
closely cropped hair and full mustache
were dark brown, his eyes grayish blue
and his complexion Drowned by exposure
in the field His insignia of rank showed
the bars of first lieutenant.
The market men and women had
withdrawn with their burros into the
side streets when the notes Of fife and
drum heralded the approach of regi'
mental band from the fort. 1t passed
along the southern side of the plaza,
aligned itself upon the markers and
played the "Adjutant's Call" The
lieutenant raised himself from his lean
ing posture, with the intention of watch
ing the arrival of the details, when his
glance fell upon window of the pal
ace. A young girl was standing there
intently observing the soldiery, her right

fastening to the fort, Raymer entered
his quarters, closed the door and stood
for several moments rapidly searching
the nagcs in quest Of written name or
sentence, but not line or word met
his eye. He was disappointed.
