George Malcolr infinitely followed
the directions. When he had mentally
pronounced each number from one to
twenty. he united the siIken bandage,
and looked about him with a curiosity
by no means unnatural.
He found himself in q room very sim
lar in shape, size and furnishing to the
boudoir whic had been previously de-
Scribed- The rays of light. which fell
through a dome OF cut glass OF opaline
tints, spread Though the apartment a
dreamy. twilight atmosphere. Heavy
portieres Of Chinese satiIs. embroid-
cred with fabulous birds and impossf.
BILE flowers, concealed any opening.
George Malcolm seated himself. or
rather. let himself fall. upon the large
circular diyan- His head was on fire
his heart beat TO suffocation. He
waited in feyerish impatience. each
second ~lengthening itself into an hour.
But long to him as the waiting ap-
pesred, in reality il was short.
One of the portieres slid back upon
the crystal rings which held Ii, and a
radiant vision appeared before the
young mans charmed and dazxled eyes.
II was the mysterious oma whose
intoxicating memory had haunted the
young E~nglishman since the night he
had taken refuge in the ruined temple.

hair. unbound, fcated about her like a

George Malcolm approached the beau

his her hands, then bent and kissed
them.
From such a dream he prayed no

had long passed over: the heavens, I'M

Kazil suddenly made san abrupt

life Of the British soldier. There is an
annual outing which he describes:

whole entertainment is managed by

over by the colonels wife as
sisted by some of the married
officers. and one or two Of
the more docile young bachelors. The
funds are provided partly from the
canteen. partly by subscription among
the officers. and the festival is looked
forward to from year to year with the
greatest interest by the children of the
battalion. Christmas also is time Of

He RETURNED FOR TRIAL
Louis f. Menage Comes Back to
Face the Music.
HE PLEADED NOT GUILTY
Three Indictments Have Stood Against
Him for Six Years Connected
With the Wreck OF the Guar
antee Loan Company.

Minneapolis, June 2S.-After six years
of absence in Guatemala and Mexico,
Louis F. Menage has returned to Min
neapolis, pleaded not guilty to the
three remaining indictments against
him and has been released on $4,000
bail. With his wife and daughter he
arrived on one of the morning Chicago
trains, proceeding Immediately to the
office of c. ]. Bartleson, in the Guaran-
tee building, in accordance with the
prearranged programme.
With his family, Mr.. Menage left
Mexico City on Thursday He entered
the United States by way of San An
tonic, coming North via st. Louis.
Mr. Menage surrendered himself to
the authorities this morning and was
Immediately arraigned before Judge
Elliott on three charges, which have
now stood against him for nearly six
years. He pleaded not guilty to each
charge, was bound over for trial at the
September term of court and then re-
tired with his attorney.
There were three long indictments
The first was that under which Will
lam S. Streeter, vice president of the
Guarantee Loan company while Men
age was president was tried. 1t
charged him with grand larceny in the
first degree for the alleged appropria-
ton of $270,322. Another indictment
charged the theft of exactly the same
amount as above and the other the
theft of over 100000. The bond was
fixed at $4,000 on the first indictment,
and no bond was required on the other
two cases. A bond was Immediately
submitted and approved the bonds
men being Amanda A. Menage, Charles
Morse, Jonathan P. Pond and John
M. Morris. Mr.. Pond qualified for
$4,000 and the others for $1,000 each.
A number of witnesses who appeared
grand jury in the Menage examination
are dead. Others have left the state
and the whereabouts of others are un-
known.
The collapse of the Guarantee Loan
company came May IT, 4.33, upon an
order from the district court for the
appointment of a receiver at the re-
quest of Goodnow & Lawther, creditors
of the company to the extent of only
1911.
When the collapse came it was found
that Mr.. Menage had taken flight. His
whereabouts could not be ascertained
for long time, but was finally traced
to Guatemala, where an effort to arrest
him failed. Later he went to Mexico,
where he has since resided.
The receiver afterward reported to
the court that there was more than
$4000,000 of short time paper, all but
$644, 900 was Straw and absolutely
worthless.

COMMISSIONERS ON TRIAL.
State Begins Its Removal Case Against
Them.

state Begins Its Removal Case Against
Them.
Wallace, Idaho, June 2S.-In the re-
moval case against County Commits
sioners Stimson and Boyle to-day the
defense filed an answer denying that
they knowingly or corruptly performed
any material acts charged in the infor-
nation, but alleged that all official acts
as commissioners We're performed in the
best interests Of the people of Shoshone
county and without profit to them elves
The state offered in evidence the rec
ords of the commissioners, showing a
number of votes cast on the proposition
of the removal of the county seat at
Murray to Wallace also a certificate of
the result filed with the county re-
corder; also vouchers of allowances
made Sheriff Young as commission on
license collections.
The afternoon was spent by the state
in presenting evidence in the case
against the county commissioners. Most
of the time was spent in examining
witnesses regarding the bonds of the
sheriff, assessor and tax collector.
Deputy sheriffs to-day posted notices
forbidding public observance of July
II, the anniversary of the riot at the
Gem mine seven years ago, which has
been observed as Miners union day.
The women have been preparing for
this celebration, the men members of
the union being mostly out of the state
or imprisoned.
