a source of annoyance to her, but Bill only shook his head and answered.: Loan? I never loaned Nat no money, Miss Sophie. Nary cent, nary, nary-nary."
 She tried to cheer him up, invited him to Sacramento, rallied him about his splendid head of snow white hair and showed him how her own once raven tresses had not whitened, but grown thin and scant.
 Twill you sell me your hair, Bill?'' she laughed one day, after she had coaxed a vague smile to his wrinkled face.
 ''Fll give it to you, Miss Sophie" he quavered, seriously. Really now, would you like t'git tn hair? ?''
 '.I have my heart set on it, Bill" She saw chance at last. But won't take it for nothing, I'll buy it or go without. It matches mine exactly. Law, what lovely switch it would makel Come. Bill, for old times sake. Will you take five hundred for your hair?''
 Gee 1awl Miss Sophie, six bits Fl git it all, whiskers> throwed i'm" But she insisted on paying fair price and at last he agreed, flor old times sake" to go to the barber at Placerville and get a hair cut. When he walked out of the shop with close cropped poll Placerville marve!ed and the gossips agreed that "The Wilder Harkins was courtin' Hermit Bill" But when the barber circulated the story that Bill had collected $1OO for his hirsute crop, the listeners allowed that Bill was a purity peart, onsentimental old cock" ]"
 Year after year Mrs. Harkins came to Placerville to buy old Bills crop of hair. He was persuaded that whiskers were as good as any other hair ito make switches and rats" and so he con tinued to hang on to life by a hair. But at last Miss Sophie found no am swer to her rap on the door. Bill had been expecting her, for he was dressed in his old suit of faded black, sitting by the window in the sun. But he had drifted away from the bar at last as his partner, his gold and his long white hair had drifted long ago.-Chi- cago Record-Herald.

over his horses neck while he reflected. Would he say to her the few words that would make such mighty change in their joint existence? Did she real ly love him? Had he read the secret in her eyes aright?'"
 t'I don't guess there are any secrets in my eyes worth mentioning" mur- mured the young woman, as she brack- eted the quotation with her pencil, but if he thinks so, all right.'
 Gertrude, while she loved her quiet home life, yet found some of the unnecessary restraints placed upon her by her narrow-minded old aunt very irksome,'" the young woman went on reading. 's'She fell uncon- sciously into the habit of peering wist- fully into the future and wondering if she should ever have home of her own '"
 And that's no fanciful creation of disordered imagination, whispered the young woman to herself, coming down on her gum good and hard. ''I wouldn't say-it out loud, but home's just as dull as ditch water, and that's all there is about it.'
 During all of these months,''' she resumed reading. "'Reginald de Whoopville remained, so to speak, up- on the brink of hesitancy. He would and he would not. Long ago his heart had told him that he loved Gertrude devotedly, absorbingly-yet he lacked the courage to sever, with word, the ties that bound him to his bachelor existence. He reflected upon how com fortable he was in London. His lodg- ings suited him. His man was model of industry and discretion. And, while Reginald was by no means dissipated man, he was fond of roaming about. dining here and there at out-of-the- way places, and when the notion seized him he enjoyed hasty jaunts over the continent. There was no small amount of latent selfishness in his nature. He fully appreciated the re- sponsibilities of matrimony, and it was for this very reason that he feared he might not prove equal to them. And yet-the thought came upon him like the rushing of many waters-how he loved heri'''
 '.I hope he reads this through about four times,' said the young woman to herself. s'I don't suppose there's a city in the world where the young men are so fond of spending all their pay on themselves as they are in Washing ton''
 Thus she spent her afternoon.
 She was radiant when he arrived that evening, and just before his de- parture she handed him the book, with few little appropriate re- marks as to how she had enjoyedit.
 He arrived at the noon luncheon hour the next day, and he had the ring along with him.
 "Well, just maybe that wasn't hot scheme, that's all,' murmured the beautiful young creature to herself when he had gone and it was all arr ranged for next October.

Russian Girl students Must Marry

According ly she goes through the civil form of marriage with one of the men stu dents, whom she may have never. seen before, and perhaps may never speak to again. These marriages are per fectly legal, and if the contracting parties like each other they are united for life, but otherwise their marriage is dissolved when their university course is finished, and both are free to marry again.

MOVE FOR STATEHOOD
Gov. Murphy Issues Call for Conference Of Delegates
Convention of Representative Citi- zens to Be Held in Phoenix, Sat urday, Occober 18th, to Devise a Plan of Action.

There was a good attendance of the directors of the board of trade at the board room last evening. called to- gether to confer with Governor N. Q. Murphy in the devising of a plan far the securing of statehood
 President Ford of the board called the meeting to order and Mir. B. A. Fowler stated it's object. after which he introduced Governor Murphy.
 Mir Murphy made 9 short but very enthusiastic speech on the benefits that would certainly follow statehood. and on the present favorable indications for early admission if the proper steps were taken at once. He said the great est thing to contend with just now is the lack of enthusiasm of the people. Nearly everybody favors statehood, but too many are slow in feeding the fires of enthusiasm To arouse interest in others interest must be aroused at home. The efforts of any committee that might be sent to Washington would be futile unless encouragement was given at home.
 He said that in the past it is well known that some corporate interests have opposed statehood for various reasons, but now they are in line and in earnest. They cannot afford to be in opposition He said that the late C. P. Huntington before his death made the announcement that he favor ed statehood at the earliest possible day. The Santa Fe railroad interests are all anxious for Arizona to shake off territorial vassalage and will lend all possible assistance. The governor said that he believed a conference of rep resentative citizens. regardless of party affiliations. should meet here to con- slider a plan of action, and had there fore prepared call" which he dic not feel that he had the right to iss,-e unless endorsed or backed by some or ganization or representative body. He then read the call. which follows:
 GOVERNOR MURPHY'S CALL.
 Executive Department of Arizona.
 "Ofice of the Governor, Phoenix. ''Tn the People of the Territory:
 ''I believe that the time is most pro- pitious for the admission of Arizona into the union as a state. And in my judgment if our citizens act with una nimity and earnestness the fifty-sev- enth congress can be induced to pass an enabling act for the purpose dur ing the coming winter.
 .Tne gerat benefit of such a promo ton can scarcely be estimated. The principal questions involved have been thoroughly studied and are well rn- derstood, and I believe the people of Arizona are practically unanimous for admission. Now is the time for action. The great boon we have hoped for 50 long is within our reach. The press and the various commercial associations are aroused to the importance of enthusi- astic and persistent work, without which we cannot hope for success.

SUED FOR TAXES
Pima County Asks for Judgment
 Against City of Tucson.

Pima county has sued the city of Tucson for delinquent taxes on the wa ter works, which now belong to the city. According to the Star. the com plaiut alleges that between February 1st and June 1st the assessor in Dlak- ing up the tax roll, assessed the water works plant taxes to the amount oJ S2c96.43. At that time the plant was owned by. Watts and Lawton, but 1t was purchased by the city on August ?, 1900 At that time the taxes were not raid, and in November the county brought action to sell the property for delinquent taxes. The city was, how ever. granted tsmporary injunction restraining the county from such ac- ton and on May 18th of this year d permanent injunction was granted.
 Now the county brings suit to have this s269643 delinquent taxes set aside as lien on the property and asks that the court for=clo5e the lien. Besides the amount of taxes the county asks per cent penalty for not paying them when ordered. They argue that as the claims of the county against the water works were not satisfied at the time of sale. the city assumed the company'e obligations.

bitions should not be considered. State hood is net a political question. We should all work together as one man. l democrats and republicans alike, l farmers, miners, grazers, corporations large and small, and all territorial in 1 terests of whatsoever nature should | be united on this most important meas ure for the public good.
 i Political differences can be decided at the polls after statehood is attained. 1 At the request of the Phoenix board of trade, and in response to the recon mendations of prominent citizens al, over the territory, I hereby call for q public conference, to be hel1 in the city Of Phoenix. Saturday. the 26th day of October. for the purpose of devis- ing the best ways and means to secure Statehcod. and to prepare a plan of proceeding therefor. And in order that full representation be had from all the counties of the territory. I recommend that the executive committees of the county central committees. democratic and republican, of each county. meet and appoint delegates to said confer ence: not more than ten nor less than five from any county; that the mayo-s of each incorporated city appoint fou- delegates to represent the municipal ity. and the president of each board of trade or commercial association ap- poirt four delegates to represent said board of trade or commercial associa- ton; and I earnestly advise that th-. best and most influential citizens Dc selected as delegates. regardless Of their political faith or business cali ing. N. O. MURPHY.
 Governor. October :. 1sO1.''
 After Nr. Murphy sat down a vote Of thanks in expression of appreciation of his efforts and earnsstness. and pleds- ing the support of the board to his fur ther efforts, was passed A motion was then made endorsing the call, the board accepting the responsibility of secur- ing proper place for the meeting uf the conference. and appointing com mittee. consisting Of B. A Fowhr. Hugh H. Price and J. w Doris, to so- licit sufficient funds to Gefray the ex- penses of the convention. These ex- penses are to include hotel accommo- dationS for delegates from a distance. and an effort will be ma de ta secure half rates at the hotsis and over the railroads.
 The board adjourned to meet next Tuesday right, when a full attendance of the entire membership Is desired, and the matter of statehood will be further agitated. It is proposed to committee of one to stir up enthusiasm.

The watch will be a serious loss to him, for he needs it every time he feels the pulse of a rattlesnake or times the flight of a turtle.
