Arthur Mayne's
Temptation.

A sunny morning in June, with the
Temple Gardens looking their best.

and carriages rolling alons tho embank-

dingy barges trailing up and down the

Had the skies suddenly clouded over and

Mayne would hardly have noticed the
difference. He sat In his luxurious den
on the first floor OF one of the old build
ings in Kings Bench Walk, staring at a
heap Of paper on the big oak writing desk
before him. and thinking the while OF
a period OF eight or nine months that be-
longed to the past. Those were the days
when his chum Dick had shared with
him these same apartments--the brill

nalist and fiction writer clever at both
lines, but with the ill-luck that persist
emily dogs some men.
They had known little about each other,
or at least Mayne had never troubled to
ask his friend to speak much of himself:
he always understood that Vsllenger was
alone In the world, and that he had seen
many people and countries before he
came TO live in the Temple. Chance had
thrown the two together. and kindred
tastes and occupations had oemented
their friendship: for Mayne. though he
was full-nedged barrster had for
saken that profession for literature.

MEETS VIOLENT DEATH.
Heber Nelson of Holiday Killed In
Mill Greek Canyon.

Heber Nelson, an esteemed young
citizen OF Holiday, lost his life Satur-
day in Mill Creek canyon, The exact
manner Of the fatality VIII never be
known, but Nelson was on a load OF
wood coming down the canyon, on
reaching a dangerous point IN the road,
called the dugway Il Is presumed the
breakbar gave way and Nelson jumped
to save himself and was caught be-
tween the wagon and the bank ana was
crushed fatally. This theory seems the
most plausible because the team went
dashing down the dugway at the top Of
their speed. A teamster named Wad-
dell who had preceded Nelson down
the canyon was nearly smashed into by
the latter's runaway team. Thinking
that Nelson had met with some acct
dent, he went back up the road and
found him In a critical though con.
sclous condition Two more Transfers
presently appeared on the scene and
with their assistance Waddelll conveyed
the injured man 20 the foot Of the
mountain. Word was sent to Halliday
and two brothers OF the deceased and
DR.. Jones OF Murray FASTENED TO the
spot, but the injured man expired a
few minutes after they arrived.
Seventeen years ago Joseph Nelson
a brother Of the deceased, lost bis life
near the same spot, by tree failing on
him.

and leaves a wife and one ohild,an aged
