MINERAL AND TIMBER LAWS.


Miners and timber men are indebted
to Judge John A Rlner for his clear
exposition of the law in his charge to
the jury in the case of the United
States VS.. John c. Teller. tried at Den
yer, tried at Denver last week. He
holds to the principle that entrymen
prior to receiving patent are restrict
ed in their use Of the land to the pur-
pose for which the entry was made.
II a man makes a placer filing, he can
not denude the land of the timber
thereon except as the operations of his
mining property demands until after
patent issues. After patent issues he
Is of course at liberty to do what he
pleases with the land and anything
thereon.

After a time BARLEY glanced at his
watch and rose to his feet.

country and see what | can do in the
way of a Thanksgiving dinner"
Not in this storm" she cried. and
her clear dark eyes fell before his.
Il have an umbrella. Besides am
used to storms"
He was gone some time. When he
returned. she was at the door to meet
him.

to the bundles he carried.
He shook his head. you will think

to find it locked. However, there is
a postoffice near. where the agent as
sured me I would find a store There
well. the contents of these paper
bags will tell the story"
She laughed as merrily as a child.
and began to peer into the bags. Soon
they were seated, she in the chair, he
on the bench in front of her. Sheets
from a newspaper he happened to
have in his pocket were spread over
their laps, and on these they placed
crackers, cheese, peanuts and sticks Of
red and white striped candy.
I'm sorry BARLEY began, cycling
the spread with evident d%isfavor. "but
it Is the best the land affords. Here is
a part Of every eatable thing in the
merchants stock, saw gum, molasses
and articles that must be cooked. 1t

The name slipped from him I'M

lightly. All constraint vanished. The
burden Of years seemed to have fallen
from them. Suddenly she looked up,
an arch smile curving her lips.
Think of the tables at which we
expected to sit today. Remember the
various delicacies, the silver, china.

note the contrast. Is not this a
strange Thanksgiving?"
He leaned forward, and again her
eyes sank before his. Il remember it
all, and yet l feel like returning thanks
because l am herewith you"
Just then the station agent entered.
A freight train came in sight and
halted. Zoe retreated to a window
while the men went cut and in the de-
pot. After a short time the train
went on. and the agent again left the
travellers alone.
BARLEY came at once to her side. I'm
an hour there will be a train going
back to your home. You will take 1t,
will you not?"
She nodded. In an hour they would
be separated. There would be moth
ing of this strange Thanksgiving day
save a memory.
He came a step closer.
Let me go with you. Zoe"
What do you mean?"
Il mean l love you still. Neither
have you forgotten. Why should we
lose one hour Of the happiness life
holds for US? We will go to your

lifting his hat.
A glance into the strong face lighted
by frank gray eyes, and she gave a
little cry, a soft rose-pink flush stain
Ing her cheeks.
Leon BARLEY! How do you hap
pen to be here?" and she timidly ex-
tended her hand.
Il am on my way to spend Thanks
giving with my old friends. the Her.
ringtons. at Latimer."
And l to eat my Thanksgiving tur-
key with my cousin, Lulu Myers"
A moments silence fell between
them. The station agent had retired
to his little den, which contained his
desk, leaving the two travellers in pos
session of the room. There was a brisk
fire in the stove, and the air was laden
with the fumes of the soft coal Aside
from the stove. the sole furniture Of
the room consisted Of a wooden bench
which extended along two siles. The
u%ncurtained windows we're dingy and
dirty.
Outside there was only the shining
tracks and the fields. At a little dis
lance a solitary farmhouse could be
seen.
They were reused by a dash of froz-
en- sleet against the windows. Bart
ley advanced to the door of the little
inner room, saying:
Il will see If there is not some way
out of our trouble"
Left alone, Zoe Freeman drew her
cloak around her and let her mind
wander back to the past. Fifteen
yeaus before she had been the prom
ised wife Of Leon BARLEY. They had
Quarreled and, in a fit Of pique. she
had married Robert Freeman. Wealth
and social position had been hers, but
Freeman soon became a helpless in
valid, and life held little for her save
the cares and duties of a nurse. A
year ago death had set her free.
Leon BARLEY had never married.
They had met occasionally. but never
since Freeman's death.
Here her thoughts were interrupted
by the return Of Barley.
II Is d5 you ledieu. here IS HO

There are few passenger trains upon
either of these roads. | am very sorry
for your disappointment"
Her face flushed, then paled. I'VE

she said, unconsciously using the plu-
raj.
He brought for her from the inner
room the only chair in the building.
A few moments later the station agent
said:
I'm goin' to the house awhile"
He strobe away. and they were alone.
Outside the sieet confined to fall. Zoe
turned from the dreary picture framed
by the window with a sigh that
sounded strangely like one Of con-
tent.
They talked ftfully. Both avoided
referring to the past, and the present
held little in common for them. Yet
as they talked of the events Of the
day, Of books, and of people whom
they both knew. an unconscious change
came " them. As in the days of
old, she was aware OF a tender defer
ence shown toward her. a Difference

PLAIN TALK FROM A DEMOCRAT

Colonel Watterson has been looking
over the election figures. and he grasps
a truth which he expresses with char.
acteristic plainness. He finds that. in
comparison with 1896, there was a fall.
of in 1900 in the Bryanite vote in near.
ly every southern state except Ken
lucky. The aggregate decline in that
section he puts at 1885, 900. 1T should
be borne in mind" he adds, that these
losses were made Notwithstanding the
material increase of the south's popu-
lation and qualified voters during these
four years. Without the south the
democratic party of today is nothing.
Is 1t not time that the democratic par
ty were getting back to democratic
principles?"
OF course the colonel is correct. Out
side of the state classed as the old sol
i'd south Bryan carried only Colorado,
Montana, Idaho and Nevada. with thir- |
teen electoral votes. If there were no
south the only interest that there |
would have been this year in Bryan's
would be as to whether he
would beat Wooley, the probitionist,
and Debs, the social democrat. or be
by n or both Of them. He
would not have been in the presidential
race at all. Nobody would have cou-
pled his name with the presidency ex- 4
,ept in Q facetious way. Even the most |
dmid investor would not have DELAYED
