day or two afterward, as they
were all at breakfast, Sir Henry said:
i forgot, Leslie, here is something
for you" handing her small packet,
marked Parcel Post"
What can it be, I wonder?" she
salO' as she cut the string; "the hand
writing is quite strange to me-" and
she was about to open it quite uncon-
cernedly when Amy remarked:
III IS just the shape of glove box -
Leslie started and looked guilty
across the table at Captain Murray,
who was, however, going on with his
breakfast.
She took off the paper wrapper and
discovered white box-it did look
horribly like glove box, Leslie
thought, as she lifted the cover-and
yes, inside lay several pairs of dainty
kid gloves Of different shades.
hoping nobody noticed her confus.
Ion and not daring to look across the
liable she was replacing the cover of
the box when Captain Murray said
very coolly:
i always pay my debts, Miss Lind
say; [ do not like to feel under any
Obligation
Hastily Selling her parcel Leslie
rose, and, murmuring something to Sir
Henry ABOUT not feeling very well, she
flew upstairs and locked herself into
her room, where she had a good cry.
Alter little time she took a look at
the gloves. .,,a...aa.,, to ..--

ty they are. He is not quite such
'prig' after all, but it makes no diff
ference to NE now. He dislikes me, !
know, and l wish he was gone'' And
then she had another good cry.
Sir Henry Seymour had no reason to
complain Of his wards conduct for the
next few days-but she avoided Cap
tain Murray, who tried in vain to get
q chance to speak to her.
One morning, however, fortune IA
vored him. He was in the garden and
Leslie was walking toward him; she
was quite unconscious of his proximity
and they must meet in a moment more.
When she saw him standing near she
lifted her sweet blue eyes to his With
wistful, f-beseeching glance.

"shake hands with re, please. I am
afraid took a most unfair advantage
Of you; pray forgive me and let US

och, Captain Murray, I do feel so
awtuuy ashamed Of myseIf-what must
you think Of 311e?"
"Shall I tell you what I think OF

toward him; IT think you a dear,

venient for the guests, as they will not
be compelled to pass outside at all. 1t
is the purpose Of the management to
improve a small island lying in the riv-
er, to the west of the hotel, SO that it
will afford a healthful and invigorating
resort for the guests. The hotel Is now
owned by Messrs. Chatterton, Rumsey
and Smiley and is under the manage
ment of Mr.. E. w. Baker, a man who
impresses Il at once as being a man
of rare business ability. The place is
clean and neat as a pin, the rooms are
large and cool and the bath house is
handled in a business-like manner
When all improvements are completed
there is no reason why the owners
should not make money upon their in
vestment.
Steps are being taken to incorporate
the town and then we will hear of the
honorable a and council, and the
people will have the fun Of paying city
taxes.
The leading hotel of Saratoga is the
Wolf, run by Mr.. Fred Wolf, well
known to a large number OF residents
of the Gem City. He is doing a splen-
did business.
The business OF the valley is best
judged by the traffic to and from the
railroad. Two splendid stage lines are
doing good business, n from Fort
Steele and one from Rawlins. The Fort
Steele road is lined with heavy traffic.
Every few minutes the stage meets a
six-horse team. hauling ore from the
mines or freight to the towns and
mines.
When this traffic is hauled by rail
and the agricultural and mineral posi-
bilities of this rich region are opened up
to the world, the day of progress for
the people of the Saratoga valley will
have dawned.

NEW ASPHALT FIELD
Discovered and IA Powerful Rival t
Enter Competition for Business.

Enter Competition for Business.
Recent heavy trading on the local
stock exchange in the stock and bonds
OF the American Asphalt Company has
been caused by well-defined reports
that a powerful rival to that concern
is soon to enter the field. Negotia-
tons are on foot for the organiza-
ton OF a company with strong finan-
cial backing to develop a valuable new
bed of asphalt, which %prospectors say
they have discovered in Venezuela.
The names of several prominent bust
ness men and capitalists are quoted
as being the hackers OF the proposed
new company, and it is known that
plans of organization are well under
way. The capital of the company has
not been definitely decided upon, but
II will be in the millions. 1t has been
rumored that politicians are to be
largely interested in the new concern,
and that its special object would be
to secure, through political favoritism,
municipal contracts in this and other
cities which are at present monopo-
LIED by the American Asphalt Com
pany. There is no truth in such ru-
mors. The capitalists who have inter,
ested themselves in the proposed rival
of the American company have enter
ed the project solely a s a business
proposition. Politicians and politics.
1t is understood. are not to have any
connection with the company or its
business. The new bed of asphalt
which has. been discovered is said to be
a very extensive deposit, of good quail
ity. At present the American Asphalt
Company controls the only asphalt
lakes or beds which have been devel-
oped and operated. They are located
IN the island of Trinidad and in Ven
%ezuela, and until recently it was be-
lieved there were no others in exist
ence.-Philadelphia North American.

have had dealings with in this town.
