the discovery that the lower sash was
not properly hung, this fear was in
creased. The sash went up all right,
but, after little while, came down
with sudden rush. George had been
promising to write to the landlord
about 1t, but had forgotten from day to
day. She had felt sure that he would
remember when he paid the rent, and
she was dreadfully disappointed, al
though she told herself that it really
did not matter much; the sash would
be fixed long before they could afford
to furnish the room.
The baby was restless that night,
and kept Marjory awake long after
George was sound asleep. 1t was
warm and the windows in their cham
Der were wide open. At last the child
slept we'll, but its wakefulness seemed
transferred to its mother. She lay with
eyes shut, trying her best to fall asleep,
when suddenly she heard a stealthy
step on the porch. She was out of
bed and at the window in a twinkling,
listening with all her might Surely
she heard the catch of the drawing
room window turn and the window
gently raised. Then the heavy sash
came down with thud. there was
groan and a muttered curse.
Marjory was thoroughly frightened
now, and ran to wake her husband.
George, George!" she cried, shaking
him. "Wake up; somebody is break
ing in downstairs
1t was quite little while before she
could rouse him sufficiently to make
him understand, then he had to get his
pistol, and Mariory feared lest the
dining room should be looted and the
thief gone before they arrived on the
scene. In spite of Georges protests
she followed close at his heels. She
need not have worried, the drawing
room window was to serve her in good
stead. There across the sill, pinned
| down by the sash, lay the burglar,
with his head in the room and his feet
barely touching the floor of the We
| randa On the drawing room floor were
burglar kit and a dark lantern. The
mans face was covered with black
mask. For Gods sake, let me out
of this" he implored when he saw the
Two.
ooh, George, he will be killed." Mar
jory cried, and she started forward,
then stopped, afraid to touch the pris-
oner. At the same moment her hus-
band held her back.
mo, no, my man, you must wait
awhile" he said. 81 think you are
safe for the present" Then he went
to the hall door. and whistled sharply
three times. Fortunately policeman
was within ear shot and soon appeared
on the scene.
"Let me out of this" growled tn,
burglar to the officer. do you wan
to kill me?~

During the most critical part of the
war, when everything looked darkest
in the North, especially at Washing
ton, Grants confidence in his ability
to bring victory to our arms never
wavered for moment In fact. SO
thoroughly convinced was he that he
rarely consulted others as to his
course of conduct. He seldom called
a council of war. and when he did he
would sit and smoke, listening pa
tiently to the opinions expressed, but
only on rare occasions voicing his
own. After his generals had dis
cussed various ways of withdrawing
the army in case OF disaster, he would
adjourn the. council, and, handing Q
paper to each officer, would say: "You
will proceed at daylight to execute
these orders. Success.

A new industry is being carried on
In the Alaskan and Aleutian chain of
islands In the Pacific, near the main
land of Asia. Fox breeding for their
pelts is assuming proportions of con-
siderable magnitude on these islands,
many of which have been leased for
this purpose, and others have been ap-
propriated without the payment of a
government yearly rental of 800 for
each island There are now no less
than S5 islands occupied by proprie-
tors of fox ranches. The industry is
still in an experimental stage, and In
many cases 1t is question whether
the labor and expenditure may not
prove bad Investment, but there are
other instances in which proper busi-
ness methods have been used where
the returns will soon be adequate and
promise immense profits in the flu
ture. The foxes with which the breed
ing is begun cost from $3.50 to 5000 q
pair. and the work has been going on
for Is years or more, and up to date
there have been practically no re-
turns, but as three of the islands have
now over 1000 foxes 1t will be seer
that 1t must be only a question of &
short time when the venture will turf
out satisfactorily from a fnancia
point of view. The skins are taker
from November 20 to January 20, thu
method being to catch the foxes II

While the Egyptian children no
doubt had as great regard for cats as
the children of today, the parents had
J still higher regard rising into wor-
ship. So great was this regard that
the cats came to be looked upon as
sacred, the cat worship became a part
pf the religion of the race, while this
worship found expression In great tenn
pies erected In honor of the cats who
died. Shaving the eyebrows ON the
Heath of cat In the family was IA
vorite means OF showing the distress
Of the household. So 1t was but nat
ural to believe that In the future life
the cats would live again with their
young masters and mistresses, contri-
buting to their happiness in the celes-
kial land. On the death of the tabby,
with tender care she was embalmed

cats were placed after embalming were
capital representations of the cat In
life. Many of them were of carved
wood. remarkably life-like affairs, the
form and even the individuality of ex-
preston being admirably preserved.
Now and then some cats belonging to
some more aristocratic family, when 1t

ceived a case OF bronze, beautifully
ornamented, and In all ways more in
keeping with the standing of the fam
lily. Some of the cat cases are Curl
ously decorated, and some of the faces
are fitted out with queerly made eyes,
others are done in colored paste, the
effect frequently being decidedly gro
tesque. The object in giving eyes to
the case was that the spirit cat might

ARIZ0NA'S EXHIBIT
The Best in Copper at the
 Paris Exposition

The Republican says J A Porterie has received a let'er from an old friend and clsssmste in Paris, John Le Grsnche, in which he says Ari- zons's mineral exhibit, especially oi copper, is the best at the exposition The next best is Chile's exhibit. Mir La Granche who is & we'll known min- ing engineer and had heard much about the mineral resources of Mexico a..d their recent development, writes that he wes surprised to find that the exhibit from that country consisted principally of things to eat--tamsles, enchilsdss and ChilI con rcsrne.
 It is is his opinion that the exhibit from this territory will do 0 great deal of good and sttract to Arizona miners and capitalists who had never heard of it befsre.
 MT La Granche is G,scon, like D'Artsgnan, aad graduated with Mir Porterie from the famous school of mines at Grenoble.

BOUND OVER
The Accused Rapist Held to
 the Grand Jury

The young man, " F. Herring who was on Saturday brought here from Benson for cafe keeping becaue of his being charged with having com m.tted the crime Of rape upon the person of the little daughter of H Kemp of Benson, was this sfternoou held to await the acton of the grand jury in default of bond in the sum of 5000.
 The exsmin stion, set for tomorrow, was had today owning 10 presence of all witnesses who were on hand today through misunderstanding.
 The examination was held behind closed doors in the sheriff's office that the gratifying Of prurient curiosity might the more readily bs avoided, and was conducted within the sound of the work being done in erecting the gsllows to be prepared for the e1ecu- ton of the Hsldermsn brothers 10 vindicste the majesty of the law. In the course of the examination D Mrs Kemp, the mother Of the child |. and the victim of the crime, bright and pretty but apparently frightened little tot of four and half years, testi- fed, as also did Doctors Southerlsnd and Nesbitt, both prscticing physi- cians of Benson. From the testimony sdiuced it appears that Herring had been rooming in the Kemp residence for about two months prier 10 the com mission of the cline and that he had been treated for a losthsome ven- eresl disease during that period and was not yet free from it that the vile disease had been communicated to the innocent child and that the child was ,till suffering from the disease in an acute stage. The testimony Of the child clearly established the direct connection between the existence oi the disease in both.
 Herring made brief statement as- serting his entire innocence. After which Justice Schus,er ct once stat eG:- "It is clear that the crime Oi rape has been committed and the or der is that the prisoner be remsnded to the custody of the sheriff 70 await the action of the next grand jury. his bail being fired at B 900"
 Herring Is a young man, not ap- psrently being over 9 and during hi. stay in Benson has been :n the eur ploy Of the Southern Pacific. He hs: hardly the appearance of one capable of the terrible crime with which he is charged. At the exsnin stion he vas not represented by counsel, District Attorney Land appeared for the terri tory.
