Captain Hollywood. why are you not
wearing the uniform OF your regiment
of the guard?" he asked, in a loud
:H@a.
There was a stir amongst the people
about them; many stopped and drew
nearer to hear the end CT this unprece-
dented conversation.
Because 1 intend to resign my COM
mission tomorrow, SIR replied Rally
wood. haughtily.
"On the part of the guard. 1 beg OF
you to reconsider that decision" urged
Wallenloup.
He shock hands gravely with the
young man, then, detaching Il star OF
gun metal from his breast, he awk-
wardly attempted to fasten it to the
lapel of Rallywood's coat I see you
have not the star of the guard. May
give you mine? Unfair, see to this;
cannot attach it."

rather be my duty said the Countess
Sagan, who happened to be stand

Wallenloup grunted.
LAS the wife of our colonel-in-chief,
madame, 1 feel sure your kindness will
be appreciated" he said. grimly.
Nine. de Sagan's blue eyes glanced up
into Rallywoods fate as her fingers
touched his breast.
mo, as your friend" she said, softly.
Then all at once Hollywood discov-
cred how numerous We're his friends
and well-wishers in Nassau. He was
overwhelmed with congratulations and
introductions, but the memory of that
night which fingered longest with him
was the tall figure of Valerie Selpdorf
standing aside and looking coldly ON.
She expressed no pleasure at the turn
events had taken; she offered no con-
graduation, but she met Unfair with
what was only too plainly hooking
comment on the little scene, and the
next moment was floating down the
long room in the young Maasuan'S
arms to the music of the last waltz.

worthy of it.

withdraw his opinion he said. 'of
course. Captain Hollywood will not go
any further into the matter. For the
rest, he has an appointment in less
than seven minutes. On his behalf 1
can but insist that his suggestion af-
fords the only possible way out of the
difficulty"
Reluctantly the other men yielded.
Hollywood had gained moral advan-
tage. If he were destined to die, he
would die in manner that would go
down into the history of the guard.
Hastily and in accordance with the re-
quest of Hollywood the change of pro-
cedure was explained to Unfair.
The two opponents stood absolutely
still. Rallywood's face wearing the ex-
preston of one who is politely interest
ed in something that is happening to
somebody else.
At the signal Unfair raised his pistol
and fired.
Hollywood stood in his place for some
thirty seconds. While there was a sound

Unfair, abiding to a fashion amongst
the military contingent in Nassau of
taking wine together and breaking the
glasses afterwards as a sign of unal-
terable good feeling and mutual loyalty.
Unfair included Hollywood with the
two officers beside him in this invita-
ton, by slight inclination of the
head.
The three men accepted, but there
was a little stiffening in the attitude
of each. for Hollywood had friends
here who were resolved, if only for the

lywood came toward them.
Wallenloup looked down at her with
some reproach.
This fellow" he said.
But why not?" she replied with a
little smile. rs he not of the guard
Can aspire to anything higher?"
Captain Hollywood is not yet of the

without giving any symptom of having
recognized Hollywood beyond his
scornful words.
Il have come, mademoiselle," said
Hollywood.
The girls pale cheeks were now
touched with a delicate carmine, such
as shines between the fingers of a hand

seemed to highten and enhance her
beauty, or rather it lent her a novel
kindling charm that struck home upon
Rallywood's mood.
What have you been doing?" she
asked with interest.

he replied.
THAT ceremony occasionally includes

ct have used neither" he replied
Are you then also a diplomatist?"
she asked with quick scorn.
Rallywood pulled his moustache- He
did not pretend to understand women,
but that Mile. Selpdorf should now de-
spise him for escaping a danger she
had half an hour ago trembled over
and prayed to avert, seemed at best
rather inconsistent.
Il have attempted to be diplomatic
now and then, perhaps" he said, but
not always with conspicuous success
Diplomacy was never meant" she
said. looking frowningly at MIN
through her black lashes, never meant
to be a private virtue. Its only excuse
lies in a national necessity
M. Selpdorf instructed me to avoid
a quarrel" rejoined Hollywood.
What do you suppose ne meant,
she asked, bitterly, knowing you mad

ABR and a slow smile dawned IN
his eyes; now 1 wonder what he
meant. knowing I had to deal with the
guard?"
Valerie frowned again; her words
were not particularly expedient under
the circumstances, but she disliked
having them flung back at her.
Il beg your pardon OF course L

matter concerns you only. But L

take. that YOU looked like man..
There was a jingle of spurs behind
her as she was about to turn away,
and Colonel Wallenloup strobe up hur-
riedly.

life might be deliberately requisitioned
by Selpdorf to forward some secret pol
icy of his own was by no means an i'm
possible supposition. Hollywood glanced
at the clock. In another quarter of an
hour ne must either be dancing with
Valerie Selpdorf or lying dead in the
famous cloister of st. Anthony, which
overlooked the river. and where many
another man had died under much the
same circumstances.
Hollywood laughed again and turned
on his heel, At that period it did not
seem to matter greatly which way it
ended. but he was going to carry the
undertaking through with what credit
his wits afforded him.
In the meantime the cloister of ST.

THE RAY MINE.
Something About Its Newly Purchased
 Machinery.

The following from the New York Engineering and Mining Journal will give some idea of the magnitude of the operations of the Ray company, on Mineral creek. 24 miles from Globe: "One of the largest single orders ever given to a firm for gasoline engines was secured last month by the Weber Gas oline Engine company. It calls for en- zines agGregating 450 h. D., Subdivided into units of 90, 40 and 30 h. p. engines. All are to operate on No. f. h. distil late, and are being built for the Ray Mines Qimited) in Arizona, a corpora tion operating copper mines. The or der given to the Weber company will mean an outlay of S500G0. There are some very interesting features con- nected with this order and the district where the engines are to be delivered. The contract was sought by leading manufacturers of gas and gasoline en- zines in the United States, England and Germany. English engine build CTS were especially keen after it, as the mining corporation is an English concern. No. 2 distillate is perhaps the cheapest fuel known and the engines will be operated by it at cost of O.05 per horse -power-hour. They will be run 24 hours a day. The entire number of engines must be built and in opera tion at the mines by April 1, 1900. The mines are located 80 miles from rail road. but the mining company has graded and made a roadway the entire distance. This will necessitate h9ul1n" the, engines in wagons to the seat or operations. The Weber company will send corps of machinists to set up the engines. Tnese machines constitute one-half of the power plant. The re- maining half will be installed within enc year. The contract expressly states the engines must be installed and in operation by April l, and to do this in the five mon hs' time the Weber com pany will operate it's factory day and night.

OUR SOLDIERS FORTITUDE.
That Is One Lesson Taught by the
 Philippine Struggle.

The behavior of the American SOL! diers in the far east has attracted at tention in all parts of the world. So recently as just before the outbreak of the Transvaal war the Daily Mail of Grahamstown. Cape Colony, in an ap- preciative editorial on The American Troops in Manila" said:
 "One lesson taught by the struggle in the Philippine archipelago is the amazing fortitude of the American troops. Practically every man in the volunteer forces has been under fire almost continuously since February f. and in addition to constant fighting. has never had moments freedom from anxiety as to possible maneuvers of skulking. willy foes, who know every inch of the country. and know how to take advantage of it's potentialities. The lines have been SO long that it has been necessary to keep every regiment to the front. The regulars have had almost the same experience. but not quite so much of it.

the works. as are also the water mains. The company has put in a new battery of boilers at their pumping station on the San Francisco river, six miles dis tant, for the purpose of increasing the water supply. The Morenci Water company will furnish the necessary water for fire protection and drinking purposes. Hydrants with hose con- connected have been put in at proper distances throughout the works as pre- cautionary measures against fire and the pressure will be twenty pounds to the square inch. A walk has been built along every shaft so that any part of the mill can be conveniently reached. All the wooden floors are double, with B. & B. roofing between. The plant is supplied with seven pumps, four of which will be running all the time. keeping in circulation 1.400 gal Ions of water The capacity of the mill will be six hundred tons and from two hundred to two hundred and fifty tons of ore will be running constantly.

MINING NOTES.

Vim. H Stewart. one of the original owners of the group of splendid copper mines in Gold gulch, sod to the Don nellan Copper company, received ad- vices from the Phoenix national bank on Tuesday last, that the money cov- ering the last payment on the mines had been placed to his credit. says the Silver Belt Through the generosity Of MT Stewart a number of his frlenos were directly benefited by the sale. and he has been prompt to meet all his obligations, having paid out several thousand dollars here during the past two days. MT. Stewart conducted the negotiations with the representatives of the Donnellan Copper company, and has added to his reputation as good miner that of q good and honorable business man. MT. Stewart is inter ested in other properties in this dis trict. and holds options on several groups of mines. He expects to soon visit Philadelphia, where he has an ac- quaintance among men of standing. and very likely will be able to interest new capital in mining enterprises in this district.

 Jim kept on marking cards just the same. Suddenly Hale stopped in the middle of a deal and jumped up in his chair with a startled look on his face. He settled down again and held the cards tight. No one spoke. Several looked up in surprise. Jim began to reckon out how he could reach the door in case a gun was pulled. for he thought Hale had surely tumbled to his game. Somebody asked Hale what was the matter.
 Indigestion, answered Hale in q sharp tone. which Jim regarded as om- inous. Jim's nerve went like a flash. He could barely lift his head for fear Of betraying guilty cOuntenance.

A MODERN SIMPLIFYING PLANT

The Boston Herald of November 2S printed the following concerning the Val Verde smelter on the P. & E. rail- road in Yavapai county:
 George w. Hull of Jerome. Ariz.. Extension, furnished a Herald report CT yesterday afternoon with an account of the progress made by the Val Verde Copper company. limited, in the com pletion of its modern smelting plant at Val Verde, Ariz.
 MT. Hull visited the plant about a fortnight ago, and states that all the machinery is in place, and the plant in its minor details is almost completed. The company's broad guage railroad is in daily operation, two trains per day, and the town of Val Verde, created by the Val Verde Copper company. limit ed, bids fair to become within the next few years, he says. a prosperous city of 5000 to 10000 inhabitants.
 With the seven surrounding mining districts. and some thirty large produc- ing mines within a radius of ten miles of Val Verde. it is Mr. Hulrs opinion that the company will lind that they will have a steady supply of ore. aside from that of their own mines. sufficient to keep busy a smelling plant three times the size of the present one.

A BIG PLANT.
Detroit Copper Company's New Works -.... at Morenci.

The Copper Era says the great con- centrating plant of the Detroit Copper Mining company, on the north side. which will be started up about Janu- aEy list, will be the largest of the kind in America and probably the largest in the world.
 To start with, there are five levels, or stories, to the building in which the machinery is being placed. The works are about half q mile north of the sme1ter on the opposite side of the mountain. All the machinery is made of the very finest rolled steel. The main shafts are set in solid masonry, the level having been made in the side of the mountain where the incline is about forty-five degrees. Six large gas engines of one hundred horse power each will furnish the power to run the mill proper. The engines will be on the fourth level from the bottom. There are also two twenty-five horsepower gas engines on the fifth level which will run the crCshers. There will be twenty eight large van1ers and thirty two jigs. The company will manufac- ture it's own gas and the large gas mains are now in position throughout
