tragc business.

4 large Chinese grain and stock
brokerage firm has leased q private
telegraph wire from Chicago to San
Francisco, says the Inter Ocean. The
firm already had private wire from
this city to New York, so that it now
controls for its own exclusive use a
wire service of 1900 miles from ocean

that such firm must obtain by
means of their private-wire service
may be gained by the fact that the
1.OOO-mile section of wire from this
city to New York costs $4,000 annu-
ally. which would indicate a total for
the entire 5000 miles of about $4,000.

scene OF the robbery. Pancho was sus-
pected on Sans report, and his house
searched. There the rest of the gunny-
sack was found PaGcho had already
taken to the hills, and large reward
was offered for his capture.
Sympathy, sincere and universal,
went out to the old mans daughter,
but with the blow change came over
her. Every glance of pity was met
by a look of suppressed indignation
and scorn, for pity implied belief in her
fathers guilt. In her eye new fire
kindied-a fire that burned in Pam
cho's eyes when he was young. Except
her own, no roof knew her now but
that of the mission. But all this was
only the brave exterior. In q little while
it was known she was ILL Within two
months she was dead. The wise doc
tors gave the cause as quick consump-
ton.
Two days afterward two men moved
cautiously down the slope of the cone
shaped mountain, at the foot of which
stood the mission. Both were armed,
and both crept crouchingly from
bowlder to bowlder and from bush
to bush, as if they feared detection.
AS they did so the bells of the mis-
sion began to toll. The sweet-toned
sound from the little bronze bells
cast in old Spain-came up the noun
tain, and the two men stopped and
looked down at funeral procession
passing slowly along the country road
to the graveyard, short distance
away. For one of them that funeral
was magnet. Following the hearse
came wagon in which sat a number
of young girls clothed in white, and
behind it many buggies, wagons and
motley description of vehicles, filled
with people.
The man in the rear gazed intently
at the moving spectacle for a time,
and then his eyes wandered search
ingly over the mountain slope. Sud-
denly he stood erect and brought his
gun to his shoulder; for the first time
leaning against a slanting rock, not
20 feet away.
Hands up, quick!" he shouted, cor
I'll fire.
"Carajo!" burst from Pancho's lips,
as he made a movement to seize his
gun.
Don't! I'll kill you"
Slowly Pancho's hands went up.
Howard advanced to d'sarn him. 1t
was Panchos turn: "You no come!"
he cried. "Dios! You not take me
alive"
Howard stopped. The two looked
at each other steadily. The mission
bells still tolled, and the funeral pro-
cession wended its way along the
country road.
''You must go with me, Pancho.
I'm sorry, but l must do my duty"
'I say L no go!" cried Pancho, his

eyes blazing with excitement. 'You
think a Parco go to jail?'
It'll be all right, Pancho, cid man.
If you're not guilty you can easily
prove it."
"Geelty? You mean I no hold up

the plan to effect it, you must not

Pancho. Think of Helena. Helena
| would not want you to do that. She
would want you to live and be a
Parco." As he pleaded for the other
mans life, he became fearful of his
own nerves.
Pancho had turned his face in the
direction of the little cemetery and
the people standing around the open
grave. Even at that distance his eyes
were fixed upon the coffin which was
being gradually lowered. To him
came the cadence of the last notes
of the bell. Suddenly he wheeled
about and his hands dropped from the
rock above his head upon which they
had been resting. 'Now!" he cried,
as he made a motion to seize his
gun.
The mission bells were still, but the
shot from Howard's gun reverberated
through the hills-San Francisco Ar
gonaut.
