But his proud mien altered when he
stood before Alice Crecy and Laura Del
lamere-they were fndissolubly linked
with time when his earthly felicity was
at its zenith.
These two fair women had been the
favorite associates of his wife, En-
gelonde, his beautiful young wife whom
the world had for five years deemed
dead. The lady had been his second
wife fascinating American; and for
one fair summer she had ruled, queen
| of society, in his ancestral castle, and
these two ladies had been her chosen
| aids in the entertainment OF her guests
So inseparable were they that fiatterer

Graces A phrase which must have re-

Citations as he now stood in their pres

looked from face to face, wistfully, as If
| ne missed the third Grace from her place.
/ But he put an iron constraint upon
himself and greeted them with faultless
formality. One would have supposed
that the naughty earl had not one
yeminiscence in common with these
once intimate companions OF his adored
wife; and the eager interest OF the on
j lockers subsidized as they saw there was
to be no scene for their amusement

MURDER AND ARSON.
Inability of Goldsmith and B~iiIingsby to
Get Along Together.


A warrant was issued yesterday from
Justice Traps cou for the arrest Of
Andrew Goldsmith, whom D.. VI. Bill
lingsby seeks to have placed under
bonds TO keep the peace. The COM
plant upon which the warrant was Is
sued charges Goldsmith with threat
ening to commit murder and arson. The
complaint is a constitutional inability
of Goldsmith and Billingsby to get
along together. It appears they are
neighbors and on sundry and divers oc-
casions have differed on political and
other subjects. Sunday, Billingsby in
formed Deputy County Attorney Yam
cey when he appeared yesterday at the
court house to make complaint.
Goldsmith came TO his cabin drunk and
tried to get in, threatening to murder
Billingsby and later threatening to
burn his house. Accompanying the
complaint filed with Justice Trap was
an affidavit setting forth the belief Of
the complainant that unless required
to bond himself to keep the peace
Goldsmith would carry out his threat.

LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
First steps Taken Toward. Buying a
New Flag.

''P' Nif phNinS y
New Flag.
The board of library trustees at their
meeting last evening took the first move
toward a new flag in Butte, acting on the
Standards tip The trustees decided that
the old dilapidated flag should be discard
ed and that the library building should
have a new up-to-date flag. A recon-
mendation to that effect was made to the
chairman of the public building commit
tee.
The library committee talked over the
matter of having a new catalogue of the
books in the library. The present cata-
logue was published four years ago, when
the library had 5000 volumes. There are
now $4,000 volumes and a new catalogue
is greatly needed. The committee voted
that a catalogue is needed. but as II is
likely TO cost $4,000 or $1,000 II was con-
cluded to consult the council before going
ahead in the matter. Meanwhile PROPOSE
lions for furnishing a new catalogue will
be considered.
The committee also decided to have
some new linoleum In the ante-room. a
new magazine case was also ordered. Lii
brarian Davies preached the matter of
issuing a postal bulletin giving the new
books each week, the bulletin 10 he sent
to subscribers at two cents per copy, but
the committee decided to let this matter
hang until II should be determined wheth-
er or not there should be a new catalogue.

be said there Is any luck in being laid

not killed constitutes the fortunate side
Of Mayne's mishap. for he fell three

he did. He had the good luck to escape

Daniel Frohman will present "1he
Prisoner Of Zenda" at the Opera House
Monday evening, with a cast headed by
Howard Could, which is conceded to De
ae good all through the list as that Of
last season. THE Prisoner Of Zenda"
stands distinctly apart as one of the
few popular and much-admired rcman-
tic dramatizatiOns which have been
produced in recent years. Tae popular
ity OF the novel has been such that IL
may be assumed that the story is ia
miliar TO those who have not seen The
play In the play, however, the story of
the scandal i'm the Rassendyll family is
told in the prologue. This renders The
drama effective from the contrast be-
tween the costumes and manners of a
century ago and those Of the present
day. ard gives the play a variety which
few other can boast. Mr.. Gould, who
created SO much favorable comment in
the lart of Rudolf last season as
sumes the same role this year, and the
other members OF the east are ade-
Quately fitted for their several parts,
many Of them having been IN Mr..
FrChman's last years company.
