Suddenly the eyes of the gambler and
those of the dancehouse girl met. For an

looked out from their masks of flesh. Their

Monte Jim found himself trying to hum
the hymn he had heard that morning. He
could not quite recall the music. hut the
words were burned in his soul. 'For or

As he climbed upward, his face toward

alone, her head upon her hand, her eyes
downcast. At her feet lay 4 spray of

Monte Jim hesitated as he looked at the
solitary figure with the wretched face and
heavy, swollen eyes. Then suddenly an
heroic resolve dominated and pervaded the
man. He went to her, and taking her hand,
drew her to her feet.

So when n few days later the news flew
through the camp that Mrs. Montardon had

that reprobate had eagerly assented to her

Still Fighting
STANDARD and Freedom Oil Companies
Continue The War.

RetaiIs At Seven From Wagons
-.-AIl Dealers Have Not Met
Reduction.

The oil fight that has been on for
some days between the Standard and
the Freedom Oil companies, RACES with
unabated fury. Representatives of the
companies were around Monday noti-
flying dealers that the wholesale price
of the best oils would be 5 cents per
gallon, and from wagons on the streets
1t retails at seven cents. Just what
precipitated the cutting of prices in the
first place is not exactly clear, but re-
suited from the action of some of the
wagon men who reduced rates. Others
took 1t up and eventually the whole
sale Companies took 1t up.
Some of the grocers are still retailing
at 10 cents, but most Of them have met
the reduction, and all of the wagon men
are selling at cents.
A reduction in the price Of oil in its
crude state recently took place in the
general markets, owing to an immense
gusher that was struck in Texas. This
new territory that is just now being
developed indicates that the supply of
oil is not limited to the old territory,
and that there is little fear of a failure
in the supply.
While the local war possibly reduces
the profits Of the wholesalers, the gen.
eral public is getting the benefits, and
no complaints are heard from that

OF a Parishioner.
New York, Feb. Awhile on his way
to the church. of which he is the hon.
ored rector, the Rev. John A. Keller,
secretary Of the Episcopal diocese of
Newark, N. j., was shot down Sunday
morning on a street corner of the
pretty suburb of Arlington, N. j.
His assailant was Thomas G.. Barker
trusted employe in the New York
off1ce OF the Commercial Gable com
pany, and one of the most respected
citizens of Arlington. Mr.. Barker, at
close range, emptied four of the five
chambers of his revolver. Should the
rector's wounds not prove fatal, he will
be, If he RECEIVERS, both blind and sadly
disfigured for life.
AS the stricken clergyman reeled and

years he had consecrated with his pray.

AS his victim fell wounded, bleeding,
blind, Mr.. Barker coolly restored the
revolver to his pocket, boarded Kear.
ney avenue trolley car, rode mile and
half to the town hall, and there sur.
rendered himself to the police.
When seen by several intimate
friends in the town Jail at Kearney
Mr.. Barker told story which explain,
ed his motives for the shooting. He
said, when pressed for an explanation
that he had become convinced on the
previous night that some mental trou
BILE which his wife had not yet shared
with him, was weighing heavily upon
her. He had urged her to tell him if
this were true, and after many tears
and protestations she had told him
that the illness which she had suffered
for nearly year was the result Of an
attack made upon her in her home by
the Rev. Keller about a year ago, when
he was making a clerical call. She
further explained that after she had
repulsed the advance made toward
her, and which was not consistent with
the clerical dignity, struggle followed
during which Mrs. Barker became un
conscious.
Mr.. Barker listened to the sad story
to its bitter end He then did his best
to console his weeping wife and went
to his own room to pass sleepless
night. There and then the path of the
clergyman and his parishioner parted
to meet the following morning and tc

PRACTICE OF LAW
ABSORBS HIS TIME,
Senator Hill Said to Have No Desire to
Become Presidential Candi-
date Again.

New York, Feb. 4.-The announce
ment that former Senator Hill is not n
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation of his party in 1904 is made by
the Albany correspondent of Leslie's
Weekly in the current issue. He says:
II have the highest authority for the
statement that Senator Hill is not a
candidate, in any sense, for the presi-
Dental nomination and that he is not
responsible for the action of his friends
and will in no way encourage the con-
tinuance of such action. Whatever
Senator Hili's ambition may have been
in the past he treasures no presidential
ambition now. He is engrossed in the
law practice.
This reluctance on the part of the
senator to re-enter public life is not
the result of pique or disappointment.
He simply finds greater comfort and
enjoyment in the practice of his pro-
fession and less allurement in the field
of politics, which has never been a
source of profit and oft has given him
hardly comfortable support. Like
every other man who reaches middle
life Senator Hill looks forward to
achieving substantial financial inde-
pendence by maintaining his establish
ed and well settled professional prac-
tice.
