Secures a Temporary Injunction.
upon the application of A. Staab ct
al, Associate Justice John r. McFie
this morning granted a writ of tempor-
airy injunction, directed to the board of
penitentiary commissioners and the
superintendent of the territorial pen
itentiary enioining these officials from
receiving any supplies under the bids
awarded on May 3 last and also to the
following bidders, the Browne & Man.
zanares company, Gross. Blackwell g.
company, Arthur Seligman and the Santa
Fe Mercantile company, from delivering
any supplies awarded them on the day
mentioned and making this writ of in
junction returnable On May q in cham
bers in this city.
Staab alleges in his complaint and pc
tition for the writ of Injunction, that
the awards to these bidders arc unjust
ard improper and the like and that he
was the lowest and best bidder and
should have been awarded all these con-
tracts; that is the gist of the complaint
which Is quite modest, all considered.
1t is not exactly clear, held by good
attorneys, how this matter can be
reached by a writ of injunction as the
awarding OF contracts is a matter of dis
erection with the board offs penitentiary
commissioners and as it is understood
generally that such officers can exercise
a full discretionary power, award or re-
ject bids and select such supplies as in
their opinion will best serve, the inter-
ests of the commonwealth, and as are
found the cheapest the best all round
material, texture, kind, quality, quanti-
ty and all things considered.
The official legal representative of the
board of penitentiary commissioners is
the solicitor general of the territory and
it is presumed he will appear for the
board at the proper time.
Messrs. CatrOn & Gortner are the at
torneys for A. Staab.

in his chair with the ease of a racOnteur

Nothing could be more remote from

the drift OF the conversation makes so

studio confronted 4 formidable row of

houses were occupied for the most part
by lodgers and mealers of various ages
and colorS and conditions of servitude.
In intervals of inspiration, and they

heart stories of his heterogeneous
ueighbors. One of his studio windows
looked almost impertinently into n

THE telling, you mean; but love

full of vitality as this King of Love
Feasts-Christmas itself"
Mrs Weatherell was one of those rare
women at peace with self and the world,
despite the fact that the latter per-
sisted in believing her wretchedly un-
happy. As pretty a woman as one
meets in a long days walk was Mrs.
Wethere!l; nature and art fitted her to
shine in brilliant society. Bat Mrs.
Wetherell's beauty was of the spirit as
well as the flesh. Never was she known
to complain. The husband whom the
world dubbed a miserable failure was
still to her the Prince Charming who
won her heart when she was toasted
the loveliest girl in her set"
At five and forty Mrs. WetherelI
judged all marital relations from her
own vantage ground-the love that is
eternal. 1t was this refreshing, Ar
cadian strain in her nature that at
tracted and held the affection of Eliza
beth Pentland, whose knowledge of
"men and things" had come from hard
knocks with the world.
Il am sickunto nausea" sighed Mrs.
Wetherell, 'of the problems involved in
the modern love story. How refreshing
il would seem to meet once more in
print love on the old familiar grounds!"

rialism of the times with which adj
vancing age found him curiously in
and out of tune. Away back in the
golden youth lay his romance-a ro-
nance that unconsCiOusly shaped and
colored his life, lending a perennial
freshness to the man, which he stTove
to impart to his work. AS the delicate
features of his unknown neighbOr grew
under his deft touch the chords of mem

to revel again in that golden past, when
suddenly his model moved.
"A carriage with the livery of an
exclusive world had drawn up at her
door. 4 lady mulfled in sable alighted,
and soon Hillhouse beheld his little
neighbor in the arms of a stranger.
1t was the first visitor that had come,
in Hillhouse's time, to that modest
door. The next day it showed steadily;
but about three in the afternoon his
neighbor surprised him by appearing
at the street door, bonneted. With
rapid strides she disappeared down
the avenue-to appear before he had
smoked three pipes at her favorite seat
in the window. The light fell strong

rejuvenated by some inner glow. Hill
