new woman being little too smart at
times, but finally waived the point and
suggested that he had personally seen

w Orrsiied,
SHE CAUGHT THE LEAK.

She came home with tagging step and
heavy heart. In vain had she striven for
weeks and even months to stem the tide of
ruin that had slowly but surely over
whelmed them.
Her splendid business powers, her clear
head and twentieth century progressvehess
had long ago been recognized by her hus-
band, and their growing mercantile bust
ness had been intrusted absolutely to her
control, while he had devoted himself to
their home and children.
For years she had managed the business
without even a suggestion from him, and
her splendid financial ability and energy
had built up trade second to none in the
city, but somehow-she could scarcely I'M
derstand it-disaster had overtaken her
and everything was lost.
For herself she cared not, but her heart
was torn with pity for the tender and de-
voted husband who was always waiting for
her at home like a ray of sweet sunshine,
and it was upon him that she dreaded to
see the blow fall.
When she entered the house and he came
forward for his usual kiss, he fancied she
looked more worried than usual and said
Come, dear, don't bother about that
horrid old business. See, I've made you
some nice hot watlles for supper. Sit down
and rest, and I'll tell you the cutest thing
the baby said today"
How could she tell him? And vet it
must be done.
After supper she took him on her knee
and ran her fingers caressingly through the
tendrls of his whiskers
"Little one," she said, in strange,
harsh voice, ''you must bear up and be
brave. | have some bad news to tell you.
The business has gone under, and every
dollar we had in the world is lost Except
the roof above our heads. which is in your
name. we have nothing the poorest beg
gar that walks the streets has as much.
Can you.ever forgive me for bringing this
misery upon you?'
She bowed her head upon her hands,
and, strong woman that she was, a tear
trickled through her fingers How would
her gently nurtured, delicate husband re-
ceive the sad tidings? She dared not look
at him.
She felt him slip from her lap and heard
him across the room. As he returned she
looked up. He was bringing in his hands
a large, oldfashioned tea urn that had
belonged to his mother. He took the tor
from the urn and poured out upon the
table large pile of money-gold and silver
coins and rolls Of bank notes.
"See," he said with sweet smile, ''here
is s., 967.45. That'll kind of ease things
up little, won't it, old girl?''
"Where-where did it come from?" she
gasped.
otis all ours he said; "yours and
mine. For years l have been silent
partner in the ice cream saloon next door
to your place of business"

The deaf man heard this.
"Why, cherries of COURSE" he pleas

But the neighbor walked along without
explaining.

Indian Reservation Changes.

The Reno Gazette is reliably in
formed that the Walker Lake Reser-
walton, now under the control and
management of the Indian agent at
Pyramid lake reserve, Nevada agency,
is to be separated from the jurisdic-
ton of said agency and placed under
the control and Management of the SUI
perintendent of the Carson Indian
school. 1t appears to the Gazette
that this move is the beginning of a
plan to place all the Indian reserya-
tions of this State under the care and
superY sion of the school department
of the Indian service, as has been
done in many cases in California,
Oregon and Washington, thus doing
away with the agency part of the
business. If the policy is carried
out, it will result in the abolishment
of the two Indian agents in this State
and bring disappointment to the
worthy applicants who are seeking
these positions.

STRUCK BY A FAST EXPRESS
Frank A. Gunn's Remarkable Es-

Frank q. Gum, an employe at the Arse

Southern Railway about 10 O'Clock yes

Long Bridge, and strangely enough, was
not Instantly killed. So far as the physi-
clans could ascertain last night he was
little hurt beyond a few cuts and bruises
No symptoms of internal injury have yet
shown themselves.
Gum, who is a wel-dressed and we'll
appearing man, had been across the river
last night drinking heavily. On his way
home alone he became sleepy and selected
the railroad ties as his bed. How long
he remained there no one could tell, and
he had forgotten where he was untu
aroused by the approach OF the express
train. He started when he heard the train
and raised himself into a sitting position
on the ties which protrude from the track.
The engine was tearing along at its
usual rate of speed and OWING TO the
shadow CT a freight car The engineer did
not see the man until the locomotive was
within a short distance.
Then he blew his whistle and rang
the gong loudly, but Gunn did not move
The engineer made an attempt to stop
the train, but was unable TO do SO until
the side OF the cow catcher had struck
the man and hurled him twenty feet
ahead.
He was conscious and more sober when
picked up and carried into the tower house

tiers with the request that an ambulance
