And there are other places in the world

"You surely do not mean to intimate
that you contemplate going anywhere

CONSERVATION.
The fact was that such an idea had

but in her present aroused condition she

or impracticable an hour before.
"Why mott" she said; 81 was not born

"But lit has never been my intcn-
ton to leave herev exclaimed Mr.. Vinal
anxiously.
"What satisfies you does not satisfy
me-" answered the young lady.
''But sour father, in conversation l
have just had with him, has informed
me that he will not oppose my address
ing you with view to marriage" said
the clergyman, in asolemn tone.
HE would not have done so If he had
been himself" replied Beatrix warmly.
'He is broken down by trouble and sor-
row, else you would not have ventured
to ask him! But / will tell you, since
he could not, that am not a piece Of
land or furniture to be sold for the sat

long time to frame suitable reply to

the opportunity was not allowed him.
For q Beatrix stood by the window,
with flushed cheeks and glowing eyes,
and her heart beating harder than usual
with indignant emotion, her glance fell
upon tive figures advancing arm in arm
up the avenue. One Of them she recog-
nized, the other was unknown. But a
strange tangle of anticipation went
through her nerves. Something was 60
ing to happen-something great, some
thing for her! The crisis of her fate was
at hand, aAd she was more than reauy
for it. Therefore she did not start or

Improvements and personal property.
This will be defeated of course, but
it begins to look as if there were
enough of these freak measures to
last through the session, and prevent
the bringing up of any other matters.
The hottest fight ever known in a
Colorado Legislature is the one being
made over the bill to create new
county out of the Cripple Creek dis
trict. The bill cuts the second coun-
ty of the state, ard naturally
creates some disturbance. Both sides
have large lobbies armed with plenty
of money, and are determined to fight
to finish. The bill passed the lower
house without much opposition, but
it is generally believed that the vote
in the senate will be close.
Governor Adams found it necessary
to notify the presiding officers of both
houses this week, that their clerks
are incompetent as the bills coming
to him were full of errors.

the sergeants- at arms of the house
and senate, who have been kept hust-
ling for member to make quorum
all the time. A large number of the
members have been away on the
usual free excursions called visiting
the state institutions" for respecta-
bility's sake, and the ones who stayed
at the capitol were afraid that they
would do more than their share of
the work if they kept busy. The
tine has been largely taken up in
hunting quorums and adiournments.
The star feature of the lower house
this week has been Attorney Gen
eral Eugene Engley. Mr.. Engley in |
the days when the house was organ
izing noticed that the two combina.
tions were very evenly divided, and
decided to flock by himself. He i'm
mediately became an object of solici
tude from the statesmen on both
sides, aud he used this fact to make
himself the most prominent figure in
the house. He introduced something
less than one hundred bills, and all
the time the members have not spent
in creating new Jobs for their heelers
they have been debating some one
OF Engley's pet schemes. His open
Sunday bill created the most excite
ment hut it was finally killed last
week "Wednesday of this week proved
his red-letter day as he secured the
final passage of three bills through
the house, one to prevent the wearing
OF hats at theaters, one to abolish de-
tectiye agencies, and the other to
abolish capital punishment. MIR.
Engley has not yet announced when
he will allow other members to have
their bills considered.
The senate has been considering
: several measures of more or less i'm
portance this week, but tbon consid-
< ering is about all they do-in fact it
is the greatest body of considerers
j in existence. They have spent the
major part of three days considering
freak bill to put all the state, coun-
ty and municipal offices and schools
under civil service similar to the
government system. They adlourned
from Wednesday until Saturday to
rest the gray matter of their brains
!. and then they will meet to consider
: it some more. Early this week they
ar considered bill to regulate the rate
q of charges for the use OF water from
bitches, and in burst of most sur
prising activity they killed the bill
