PART III-CHAPTER /.


It was sunset of a hot day at Washing
ton. Even at that hour the broad avenues
which 0iverSed from the capitol IKE rays
of another sun were fierce and glittering
The sterile distances between glowed more
cruelty than ever pedestrians keeping IN
the scant shade, hcsitated on the curD-
stones before plunSng into the Sahara
like waste Of crossings. The city seemed
deserted. Even that vast army of con-
tractors, spectators, place hunters and lob
IL 1913, which hung OH the heels of the
other army and had turned this pacific
camp Of the nation into battlefield of
ignoDle conflict and contention-more dis
astrous than tho one to the Southland
SUNK into their holes in hotel back bed
rooms, in shady barrooms or in the negro
quarters of Georgetown, as if the majestic,
White-robed goddess enthroned upon the
dome of the capitol had a last descended
among them and was shifting to che right
and left with the fiat and fash of her in
sulferable sword.
Into this sitting atmosphere of greed and
corruption Clarence Brant stepped from
the shadow of the war department For
the last three weeks he had haunted its
antcrooms and audience chambers in the
vain hope OF rghting himself before his
superiors, who were content, without form
uatinS charges against him, to keep him
in this disgrace of inaction ana the anxiety
OF suspense. Unable TO ascertain the de-
tails OF the accusation. and conscious OF
his own secret, he was debarred the last
resort OF demanding q court martial, which
he knew could only eXoneratc him by the
exposure Of the guilt of his wife, whom he
stil hoped had safely escaped. Ills divis-
ion commander, in active operations IN
the field, had no time 10 help him at Wash
ingtCn. ElpoWcd aside by greedy contract
ors. forestaled by selfish politicians and
disdaining the ordinary methods of inilu-
ence ne had no friend TO turn 20. In his
few years Of campaigning he had lost his
instinct Of diplomacy without acquiring u
soldiers Guinness.
The nearly level rays of the sun forced
him at last to turn aside into one of the
OF aHngS of a large building--a famous car
avausary of that hOtelhauntcd capital
ana he presently found himself in the lux
urious barroom. fragrant with mint and
cooi with .ccsiabs piled symmetricaliy on
its nfroie counters. \ few groups Of men

of his old companion toward the par gave
him that opportunity of escaping he had
been waiting for. The detection OF Hooker
and his peculiar inventions were too char-
acteristic of him to excite surprise, and,
although they no longer awakened his good-
bumored tolerance, they were powerless TO
affect him in his greater trouble ONly

JUST AS GOOD bargains in tho fur niture line as ever at SIeetland's.
Raechiag in Uila County.

Judgidg from the following article from the Globe Silver Belt the cattle business is not all profit and sunshine in GIla county.
 Joseph Rsdma0, who was in from his ranch on the Sierra ADcha, Wednesday, atated that good rains had fallen in that section, and stock Is looking well. Screw woTma are troublesome. but the worst enemy to contend with are mountain Ions and a leopard, which are decimat- ing the herds. Mir. ReIman has lost twenty colts, and at least forty colts have been killed by liousIn his neighbor- hood this season. The bounty of Sl0 on lions is entirely too small to induce anyone to hunt them, and the destruc- ton of colts and calves is likely to con- tipue. Mir. Redman's old pack mule came hcme. recently, with several deep gashes in his neck, oue of which exposed the jugulsr vein. gdd a lions claw was found imbedded in the mule's shoulder. Within week five COWS were found killed by lightning, and three of them aere on the open range. MT. Redman returned to his Ranch on Thursday.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE
It Will Take Place Next Tuesday
 Evening,
Clearly Visible at This Point to All Observers, If there Are No Clouds
 to Obscure the View.

Youths Companion: On Tuesday night, September 3, the moon will he to- tally eclipsed for the second time this year, and the phenomenon will be visible from all parts of the United States. The shadow of the earth will first touch the edge of the moon n few seconds be- fore 10 o'clock. Eastern standard time, and SIX and half minutes after mid night the moons face will be complete ly covered.
 1t must not be assumed, however, that the moon will disappear in the shadow; on the contrary, it may be expected to show its face plainly ell through the eclipse, but shining with dull red or copper color instead of it's customary dazzling silver hue.
 The reason why the moon does not become invisible in the shadow of the earth is because our globe is surround ed with a deep atmosphere which pos sesses the property of bending, or, as it is called, refracting, the rays Of sunlight that enter it, and enough light IS thus bent around inc edge of the globe to produce considerable illumination of the moon, even when the latter IS hid den from the sun by the interpretation of the opaque body of the earth.
 The light that thus reaches the moon is red, because the greater portion of the sunshine is absorbed by the earth:s

The Old Dominion Copper Com
 pany to Resume Smelling.
Completion of the Railroad to Globe
 by January Ist Assured
Silver Belt.

Silver Belt
 NIT. G. M. Hyame, representing the Boston office cfthe Old Dominion Copper i Mining and Smelling company, arrived
 last Saturday and left yesterday morn
 ing by special conyeyance fer the east. l During his stay here Mr. Hyams and the local manager, MT. s. A. Parnall, ad-
 iusted plans ard business arrangements bearing upon the development, improve ments and repairs necessary and con- templated, and for the ordering of cer- tam supplies that will be required. Through tha courtesy of Messrs Hy8ns and Parnall We are enabled 10 give definite information in regard 70 the intentions of the company, which Is So eagerly awaited by the people of Globe.
 The Old Dominion Copper company has entered into a contract with Wm. Gar and, president Of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad, for the de livery of cOEe and other supplies, aud for the transportation or copper, Gt very satisfactory rates, and, moreover. has received assurances that ccnstfuotio of the railroad will be resumed and the road completed into Globe by January 1, 1896
 For the present and until the railroad reaches here, operations will be some- what limited. The mine wiIl be thor ouchly exploited ard the shaft enlarged to three comp par 5mente aud sunk deeper Day and night shifts will be worked continuously, and ere encountered ln devalopmtrt work will be taken out and delivered to the emelter. The UIe bins and several tenn OOrary storages ere now ilied. Upon the arrival of sufficient coke, this orc will be treated, thus giv- ing space for the mine product, which, until the completion of the railroad, will be one furnace.
 Coke has been ordered, and Mr. Par nall expects tc be able to blow in the l furnaces about October lst.
 The development work will be exten- sive, and when the railroad is completed the company will be in a position to l largely increase the work and ihe pro ! duclion of copper. as is their intention. 1
 Incident tally It may be mentioned that | the company will not do q mercantile 1 business. We also wish to state posi- | lively land request exchanges to make 1 a note of it), that the local labor market | is well supplied, and men should not l come here from a distance with the eX peetation of getting work.
 The prospect for the revival and | growth of the copper industry of this | district is very encouraging, and 1t is 1 safe to predict that Globe will enter | upon an era of prosperity such as it has | never experienced.
