her Imogen." Papa vas lost in thought
for a few minutes; he did not like the

And my name, "Capt. Henry Perci-
VAL" on the envelope.
One ball mor or less mattered little,
but Dora was to be at this one, and you
understand now how happy 1 was.
l had met her at Lucerne, where she
was spending the summer with her
mother and sister. Unfortunately my
leave of absence expired soon after
making her acquaintance, and I had to
come back to London. Then l met her
at rare intervals. Christmas at the
Woodville, in May in London, in July
Ut the Henley regattas, and in Novem-
Der at Brighton. But at all these meet
lngs my happiness at seeing her was
spoiled by the shadow of a troublesome
guest, another man, a rival, perhaps.
About the middle Of December, at
one of the expositions in London I
met her again. Her mother had just
recognized some travelling acquain-
lance, and they were discussing a va
ter color. Dora was alone, eve "the
other man" was absent. I learned that
they were to spend the holidays at Cold
lIarbor. "You know the Sartorises,"
she said; "they will give a ball on
New Years eve. Will you be there?"
"Alas, I do not know Lady S%artoris,"
I answered dolefully. "But I will do
all in my power to be at that ball."
The energy with which I said this
seemed to move her. She bent over
her catalogue and a slight blush COW
cred her cl.eek.
Don't miss It," she murmured, with
out raising her eyes. She could say no
more. Mrs. Thornton, having left her
friends, Joined us, and the unexpected
appearance of "the other man" COM
pleted my confusion. I had the morti-
ication of seeing him carry off Dora
from before my eyes.
The next day I began to hunt up
my friends. Surely" I thought, "some
Of them know Lady Sartoris." But
whenever I made the inquiry I was an
swered in the negative.
At last my little friend Tomlinson,
whom 1 met by chance on the top of
an omnibus. answered differently.
IF I know them? Well, I rather
think so. just heard from them this
morning apropos of their ball."
"To1nlinson, thank you:' I exclaimed
with agitation, pressing his arm vio-
lently.
What is the matter with you, Per-
cy?"
"You can do me a great service, Tom
linson!"
All right for the service, but do
stop squeezing my arm so; you hurt
me-"
Il loosened my grip, but still holding
ni'n by the sleave to prevent this pre-
cious friends escape.
"Will you, cap you, get 1ne invited to
this ball?"
Certainly" he answered. "Lord
Sartoris and I are on the best of terms.
I'll get you the invitation at once"
Oh, that sprig Tomlinson! Yet l
had no thought of his conceit as I
poured my blessings upon his head,
linn the best fellow in the world
and my most faithful friend.
At Piccadijly circus I left him to 20
to my club. SO slated that many no.
ticed it. No wonder, for I decided that
at that ball I should lay at the feet of
Dora Thornton my heart and fortune.
the thought of the latter Offering
the image of Dora's mother confronted
me, and my heart almost failed, but

The Proposed Line Destined to
Become Feeder for the
Santa Fe System.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, July 10.-It looks
as though a railroad will be built to
Randsbnrg from an Atlantic and Pacific
connection before the enterprise of the
Southern Pacific gets started. James
Campbell, veteran railroad builder, who
in the past years has been giving his at
tention TO the prom otion Of a line to Salt
Lake City, is instrumental in starting the
financial work on a railroad to Randsburg
from the station OF Kramer. Campbell
returned to the city to-day from San
Bernardino, where he filed yesterday a
mortgage for $780, 600 on the railway in
favor of the Rochester Trust and Safe De-
posit Company of New York.
The next move in the enterprise was
m ade this m orning when President A. A.
Dougherty and Secretary Charles Wier of
the company left on the Santa Fe train
for Chicago, where they will receive the

1t is said that everything is ready for
track-laying. The rails are in piles at
Kramer, the ties nave been secured and
by November l the twenty-eight miles
will have been completed and trains run
ming from this city into camp.
The enterprise is not connected with

tic and Pacific, and will naturally become
a Santa Fe feeder. Ii found to be feasible,
the line may be extended further to the

WICHITA, KANs, July 10.-The whole
of the present week is being spent by the
Looha Polka Town InliaH, near Tulsa,
Indian Territory, in danUng, medicine
drinking ard mysterious religious rites.
1t is their annual husk or green-corn med

concourse OF people. 1t is more festiv-
ltv than anything else, but these rites
have been followed ior a mum ber OF years
and are a part of their religious faith.
No pen can adequately describe the many
and varying scenes which go to make up
the picturesqueness of the medicine dance.
The stomp dance at night is the most
popular, and in this performance all join
with abandon and zest.
The feasting usually occupies the entire
forenoon. Fat dog soup i. considered the

by the feather dance, very gorgeous and
