ago. You need not answer, know it
was you. I've searched for you ever
since. I've something TO tell you pres
emily, there is something you must tell
me"
Bob wondered afterwards that he
dared to speak like this, wondered that
she did not resent his words; but at
the time he felt he could say nothing
else.
Just before dinner was over, Bob, who
had been very quiet for some time, spoke
again. "You must go into the garden
as soon as the rest of the ladies are
in the drawing~room," he said, "and
will follow you. There is something l
must tell you. something you must
hear"
She looked into his eyes. She began
to utter a refusal. but she spoke no
word. Then Bob knew that the great
est hour of his life had come. few
minutes after, he was in the garden
He seemed like one in a dream; every
thing was so unexpected, so strange.
He had never spoken 10 this girl before
tonight, nor she TO him. They knew
nothing of each other. But what of
that? He had known her for a year;
she had been his daily, hourly COM
panion. The moon had risen, the clouds
had departed, and the ice crystals
sparlsled In the silvery light.
"Have any need to tell you what Is
in my mind?" said Bob. 81 think not.
Surely there is no need Of words. There
are some things beyond words. You
must have felt that your face has been
haunting me. Life has been different
since l saw your face. j don't know
how I saw il, YOU can tell me that. Be-
fore then--well, life was gray, weary.
You have made all things different, but
YOU know that. You have known that
you have entered my life for long time.

Mary Gray did not reply, but Bob felt
her hands tremble.
"I couldn't work till saw you" !" went
on Bob, writing was an impossibility

to London, and told the story of my
heart in a book"

"I hoped you would. I've felt all

"Oh, Mr.. Graham!"

"That doesn't matter. Look at mel"
They stood in the bright light of the
moon, around them the ice crystals
shown. Each stood looking into the
others face.
"You love me. don't your" repeated
Bob.
The girl did not answer save by q
Auttering sigh. Js-ss

the blood rushed madly 10 his head,
while the room and all in 1t seemed
10 whirl around him.
In the doorway he saw the face that
had haunted him. the face he had seen
in the mirror.
'Oh. Mary, here you are at lsst!'

When Herbert Walker saw them, he
told them how Bob was n woman -hater,

The supreme court has very properly
refused to compel the issuance Of certi-
iicates of election to the republican
candidates for presidential electors up
on the partial count OF the canyassing
board, the court wisely holding that
the board had the right to adjourn

has all along believed and urged that
II the Bryan electors were elected on
the face OF the returns, when properly
certified, they should be given certiti-
Gates Of election. Any attempt to steal
the state by any party should be given
no countenance by the supreme court.
The News has all along believed the
canvassing board would make an abso

II certain statements made by the
American consul at Bradford, England,
are correct-and there seems no reason
to doubt the word of Consul Meeker in
this respect-American manufacturers
are securing decidedly firm footing in
some English markets. This is due,
the consul says, to American houses
sending over their own travellers, to
solicit aud build up their own trade di
rect. instead Of sending circulars or
placing an agency for their goods with
easy-going or conservative English
firms. American brass valves are sell
ing in Bradford for $500 which British
makers have been paid Is for. It is
further pointed out that the carriage
by sea and rail from the United States
to Bradford is per cent. less than from
London, by rail alone, to Bradford.
American files are being imported
largely, says Consul Meeker. He also
says: Go into any cutlery or hardware

A Few Facts.

Below will be found few facts re-
gartling the assessment of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad in thr county
since 1891 In that year the legisIa-
ture created the State Board Of asses.
ors and Equalization and gave 1T the
exclusive power to assess all railroad
property in this State. Under the
provisions of that Act the State Board
in 1912 ass. ssad the main track of
the Central Pacific Railroad at $4,000
per mile and the company paid taxes
on that valuation. The legislature of
1893 repealed the Act creating the
State Board and placed the power to
assess all property in the hands of the
Assessor Of each county.
In 1893, the main track Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad in this county,
~ was assessed at $4,000 per mile. the
valuation fixed by the State Board.
The Board of Equalization composed
of Stanley Rigsby, a. M. McAfee and
Fred Wilson, after due consideration,
reduced the valuation fixed by the
Assessor to $4,000 per mile. In 1894
the Assessor PIE :od the valuation on
the main track of the Central Pacific
at $4,000 per mile, the figures fixed
by the Board of Equalization in 1893.
In 1894, the Central Pacific asked
for a further reduction of the Assess
or's valuation and the matter was
fully heard by the Board OF EQUAL A
cation as appears from the records os
the Board. On the 18th of Septem-
Der. 1894, the majority Of the Board
reduced the assessment from $4,000
the valuation they had fixed the year
before, to $4,000 per mile. This &C.
ton is fully set out in the following
extract from the RECORDS of the
Board:
4The matter of red ucing the valua-
ton Of the Central Pacific Railroad
was again taken up, and the same
being considered, a vote was taken
on the proposition of reducing the
valuation, placed at $1,000 per mile
by the Assessor to the sum Of $4,000
per mile. Messrs Rigsby and Wilson
voted for, and McAtee against the re
duction.
st was then ordered that the val
uation of the Railroad Company be
reduced to $4,000 per mile"
Since 1894 the assessed valuation Of
the Railroad Company has stood at
$4,000 per mile, because commission
ors McAfee and Woolver n were
opposed to any further reduction.
Az Messrs. Rl9sby and Wilson are
candidates for commissioners again,
these facts are published for the in
formation OF the Taxpayers OF the
county who might have forgotten
them.
