The ornament was handed over, but
when George subsequently left the
house with her uncle's gift, Mrs Har-
wood was veXed at her own weakness.
An unaccountable depression domi-
mated her during his absence, and she
was scarcely surprised to see him re-
turn with a disturbed and agitated
countenance.
cit is evident that you have not been
able to obtain so large an advance as
you anticipated, George
ut is not only that, Nora! Your
diamonds are a delusion-mere paste!
Mosely declares they are not worth
more than IS pounds!"
"What nonsense!" she cried, starting
to her feet. 'The man is an idiot!
They cost $50 guineas, and [ have
Brunt's receipted bill for them still!
Uncle Fred thought, and truly, that it
might prove of use to me one day"
"Then let us go around to Brunt's
and hear what he has to say. By the
way sis, old Moseley said it was
the charming actress at the Royalty,
who is creating such furore just
now, brought him the fellow-orna-
ornament to yours but yesterday, only
hers were real Stones" and George
glanced keenly at his sister as he VEN
tured the statement.
GA fig for the actress! What has she
to do with us? Ring the bell and or
der the brougham at once George!
Mr.. Brunt shall give us his written
warranty that my jewels are dia-
monds. Paste, indeed! Your Jew can
be no judge of such things but when
Mrs. HARDWOOD, an hour later, met Mr..
Brunt's amused smile as he took the
case from her hand and examined it's
contents, her assurance ebbed away in
dismay.
"You have made a not unnatural
mistake, my dear madam. This orna~
ment is decidedly of paste, and was
made to your husbands order in this
establishment last week. He express
ly desired it to be the counterpart of
the original setting and as it would
take a connoisseur to distinguish
them, you have COMPOUNDED the one
with the other"
'How stupid of me! Of course that
is precisely what I have done," ex-
claimed Nora, with assumed hardi-
hood, but rapidly paling face: II am
sorry to have so needlessly troubled
you, Mr.. Brunt," and taking her
brothers profferd arm she was dimly
conscious of walking slowly through
the esta blishment to her carriage, re-
solved that no word or action of hers
should provoke comment. But Dick
of all men in the world to have de-
ceived her-Dick, whom she loved bet
ter than life itself; in whose honor
she had implicitly trusted from the
first day they had met Pride, anger,
and vexation struggled for the mas
terry as she reclined back upon the
seat and her eyes were bright with
unshed tears.
''Don't take it so much to- heart"

honor at other hands.
"What I say; for it is evident to me
that your diamonds have gone to that
pretty actress to whom the Jew re-
ferred. Otherwise, how account for
the similarity Of jewels and the ex-
change of your own?"
stop the carriage and leave me this
instant, George! How dare you weave
such falsehoods! Dick rarely fire.
quents the THEATRE
''Hoity, toity! Nora, what a spitfre
you are! Why, know for fact that
your immaculate husband is often in
attendance at the Royalty, for I have
seen him flirting at the wings myself
with this identical actress!"
''Leave mel" she reiterated, passion
ately. 81 will not be forced to listen
to your slanderous tongue!"
Eat your own door, sis, and not be-
fore. Why, here we are! By the way,
what am [ to do now about that mon
ey?" but she brushed past him and
into the hall with ears which heard
nothing but the knell of her own de-
parted happiness and eyes that pierre
ed the gloomy future in abject misery.
Lies sweetness seemed crushed out,
and Hfe's joy buried in a breaking
heart.
Foolish little woman! She did not
pause to reflect that the intrinsic val
lie of the diamonds was of no moment
to man in her husbands position,
and that it was absurd upon the face
of it to imagine him risking detection
and STOPPING to deceit over their eX-
change for paste. Jealousy had too
deeply implanted her poisonous fang
for reason to hold sway, the vision of
the lovely actress, whose beauty Nora
had frequently heard extolled, per-
verting her Judgment.
Mr.. HARDWOOD glanced up in surprise
as she entered his study.
"Why, what is the matter, Nora?"
but she sprang aside as he advanced
towards her, and stoou with eyes that
flashed in angry defiance behind I'M
shed teardrops. ''What is wrong, lit
tie Woman?"
''Where are my diamonds?" she de-
manded, in voice not quite under the
proud control she would have emu
la ted.
''What diamonds?' he asked in sur
prise, forgetful for the moment of the
past.
Don't feign ignorance" she cried,
scornfully, 'and deepen your deceit"
''Try and compose yourself and ex-
plain your meaning,' he said coldly,
stung by her ill-concealed disgust,
'What is it that [ have done to Of
fend you SO bitterly?"
''Taken my diamonds, and given
them to that horrid woman!"
"Your diamonds! Why, NORA
"And replaced them with pastel
she went on, Historically. "How could

and with it all the recrimina tons she
had planned to utter.

said avenue according to plans and spec
ifications to be furnished by this COM
mittee.
Third-The mode of connecting with
Orange Grove avenue or Pasadena ave-
nue. or with both and the way of avoid
ing or crossing the railroads at the north
end of Fair Oaks avenue 10 be hereafter
determined. And for that purpose this
committee reserves the right to defect
the route of the boulevard from Fair
Oaks avenue at the north end thereof If
it should deem it necessary to do so.
1t is further resolved that the route
from the Plaza to the East Side park
shall be left for future determination,
and the committe of engineers are re-
quested to furnish their report and rec
ommendation upon the after subject az
their earliest convenience.
This resolution was unanimously
adopted. The route selected is practi-
cally the adobe route from East Side
park to and along Fair Oaks avenue,
passing under the two steam railroads
to avoid grade crossing, and by slight
DETECTION terminating at Pasadena av.
enue at its intersection with Columbia
avepue. 1t will come near enough 10
the Raymond property to be intersected
by short drive from that locality,
forming an attractive side trip. 1t is
also very favorable for a branch extern
sion to Alhambra.
THE ARROYO ROUTE
Judge Silent offered a resolution ex-
pressing good will to the energetic pro-
jectors of the Arroyo Seco route and
bop inc hot Il ole
would ultimately be built.
The following substitute to Judge ST.
lerts motion, made by DR.. Thomas was
adopted by the committees:
Resolved, That this committee ex-
press its commentator of the enter
prise of our people of East Los Angeles
in the work they have done in suggest
ing a route via the Arroyo Seco, ami
hope for the good of the people of Les
Angeles county the route will be pressed
to completion at an early date
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Slauson, Waters ard Jevne, was ap-
pointed to wait upon the board of super
visors and request that body to furnish
a survey and plane table of the selected
boulevard route over the county terri
tory from the Los Angeles city limits on
the south to the South Pasadena city
limits on the north.
Messrs. Lockwood and Longley of
South Pasadena were appointed spe-
cial committee to secure from the trus-
tees of that city a similar survey and
plane table of the selected route through
the territory under their jurisdiction.
1t was regarded of the utmost import
ance by the engineers that the proposed
boulevard should avoid a grade crossing
on any steam roads, and hence the sub
sitution of the Fair Oaks avenue for the
Meridian avenue hitherto very favora-
bly, considered. 1t is believed that an
entrance to this city can also be readily
effected without making grade cross
ing over any railroad.

Vasalo's Troubles

John Vasalo, the arson fiend. who
made two attempts to burn his fruit

eral months ago, was rearrested yester-
day by Constable Mugnemi VaSalo was
examined ON a charge of arson and bound
over to the superior court for trial.
When the matter came up in Judge
Smiths department defect was found
in the complaint, and Vasalo could not
be tried under it. The case will now
have to go through the process of an
other arraignment, examination, etc, be-
fore it can be brought to trial.

critical moment of the session. Mr..
Lockwood whose name had been iden-
titled with much effective work on the
Arroyo Seco route, spoke in compli-
mentary terms of the report of the en-
gineers and moved that the route rec
commended by them be adopted. AS this
would lead to an important modification
Of the route upon which the South Pasa
dena people had secured rights of way,
etc, the motion was discussed at con-
siderable length, amended several
times and finally Mr. Lockwood and
Judge Silent were appointed a commit
tee of two to draw up resolution which
would meet the expressed views of the
various members. The result of their
deliberation was the presentation of the
following resolution of Mr.. Lockwood:
THE ROUTE DETERMINED.
Resolved, That the route via the East
Side park in Los Angeles city and from
thence along the line recommended by
the engineering committee to Fair Oaks
avenue in South Pasadena, and along
Fair Oaks avenue north to connect with
Orange Grove avenue or Pasadena ave-
nue. at Columbia street, presents the
most desirable features for the boule-
ward from Los Angeles to Pasadena,
and this committee votes to locate the
same, provided
First-That the right of way for said
boulevard of a width of 120 feet for IS
per cent of the distance from the East
Side park to Fair Oaks avenue shall
be donated within thirty days from date.
Second-That the city of South Pasa
dena at once inaugurate the necessary
proceedings to widen Fair Oaks avenue
to a width of 100 feet, and agrees to prop
erly grade, macadamize and improve

secretary of the Dairymen's Association
said: Dissemination OF milk is the rem
edy that Is being used with great success
at Sydney and elsewhere, and it ought to
be used everywhere. The system is in US
with great success in Southern California
and elsewhere IN the United States.
This system kills the germs of disease
and makes the milk absolutely safe, even
if milk with the bacillus should by mis-
take enter the market. This system
would be welcomed by dairymen every
where. By 1t the milk is heated to a poin t
anywhere between $50 and 200 degrees
Fahrenheit. and this heat destroys the
germs without thickening the milk and
changing its flavor, as is done by boiling.
The value OF pasteurizations was set forth
in clear way recently by Nathan Strauss
OF New ork, who said: There is prac-
tlcally no milk delivered for general con-
sumption in cities that is fit to be fed in
Its natural state to young children"
There is proba bility that the dairymen
will soon advocate the pasteurization of
all the milk that comes to the city. This
is the dairymen's refuge; their self-de-
tense against legislation that they con-
slider unjust. One of the greatest obiec-
tions they have to the tube rcuiin method
of condemning and slaug htering cattle is
tnat there is no way whereby they can
protect themselves from buying bad cat
tie. In the case of poor men the sIaug hter
of their cattle means the destruction of
about all their property. The dairymen
say there are many Inequalities in this
law, especially since they have nc way of
telling whether the cattle they buy are
slightly affected
