could find no trace of her missing baby.
The worried mother then went to
a neighbours house for assistance, but
found the door locked and the house
empty. While returning to her home
she noticed large brown bear pass
ing through a clearing. 1t was pur-
sued by a pack oihounds, and close on
their trail were three hunters-John
Osby, James Green and John Huston.
She called to Osby and told him of the
disappearance of her child. He at once
rode up to the others and suggested
that they pursue the bear while he
assisted Mrs. Bigsby.
Green and Huston pursued the ami
NAL to a large redwood tree, where he
had taken refuge. When the animal
saw them he jumped to the ground and
started to run. At the same time the
cry of a child was heard. The dogs
followed bruin in his fight. The
huntsmen noticed that the animal had
something in his mouth which APP
peared to be child. The dogs pressed
bruin close and he dropped his bur-
den, which proved to be the missing
Mia. and took to tree. A welldirect-
ed shot brought him to the ground,
and Green carried the child to its
mother.
Mrs. Bigsby was Mortified when she
heard Of the narrow escape Of her
offspring from death. The baby wei.
coined the embraces of her mother, but
trembled from fright until finally
soothed to sleep.

THE LAST GIFT

TT WAS nothing only a few april

summer evening, but it was his dear
est gift to her, and to purchase them
he went out of their little apartments
for the last time. lie had been sick
for two years-''the happiest years of
my life," he often said. In them he
had learned to know and love his
wife more than ever before. In health
and prosperity neither was aware
of the depth of the smooth stream
of their lives. But when ill-health
began to weaken his strength and at
length deprive him of his position
and one by one of ali his resources,
so that he was compelled to move
from cheap to cheaper rooms, great
light of love began to illumine his
life. 1t drew the husband and wife
closer together. Although unused to
labor, the wife now became the
breadwinner. Having arranged ev-
erything for his comfort during the
day, she departed for her labors.
Here, with heavy heart, she went
through the duties of the day, for
she was constantly haunted by the
fear that at any time she might re-
turn and find her husband dead. He
was in that critical stage of his dis
ease when this was likely to happen.
Her heart almost ceased beating
when, punctually at four o'clock in
the afternoon, she opened the door
of their rooms.
Hitherto she had found him in his
accustomed place, propped upon
lounge, a small table by his side, on
which were few books, a musical
score and photograph of his wife.
He had been an organist; music was
his passion; in it he lived and found
the intellectual and spiritual food of

in reading music, realizing as far as
his enfeebled powers allowed him. its
tone and it's meanings. For long

save the street organs, whose tangled
strains too often reminded him OF
his own broken and miserable fo-.

choly reflections passed away, and
the meeting of the husband and wife
was like that of long parted lovers,
when joy is mingled with tears, and
the remainder of the day they We're

the approaching doom. All the or
ganist's passion for his art was now
concentrated into sublime and puri-
fed. affection. They spoke not of this
life, which held so little and so
brief good for them, but their
thoughts and their conversation were
turned toward the future, the eter-

real. A few more partings, Il few

tentions which usually accompan,
the days of courtship. How much
little served that devoted pair,
and what compensations came
into their lives only those
know who love through all suf-
fering and in every misfortune. The
least trifles made the day bright; they
arranged and rearranged their two
rooms, each time with some new device
TO make them more fresh and attractive
or more comfortable and convenient.

The wise man pretended to be downcast un.
til the ceremony was over. Then, with a
bounding heart, lie went to the maiden of
his choice and lifted the purse without even
a stretch of the neck, because there were no
other entries.
Instead, however, of being supremely

got away by himself after the honeymoon,
and brooded. His wife had been won with

lily with the. FOOLS rose and sighed The
laugh of the beautiful, stately princess
ceased, somehow, to beas silvery tinkle in

bridged tooth was put in, on the left side
Thus the wise man brooded day after
day, and day after day he became more
miserable. He looked with longing eyes up
on his sister-inlaw. He would run to the
window when she went to order groceries
and peep out at her and wonder if she really
cared for her husband. Occasionally she
caught sight Of him standing there, and let
him know by her smiles that she wasn't
mad.
One day, beside himself with love for the
little frt, he caught her in his arms, told
her God had intended them for each other,
and tried to kiss her.
She screamed, and her large fool of a
husband came along and kicked the wise
man through a bay window.
So the beautiful, stately princess was left
to explain her desertion as best she could,
and the fool, knowing that his wife was
loved by another, got her to declare every

City Practically Pays to Per Cent on All the Money Borrowed
From the 8anks-MOney In Special Funds Could
Be Drawing Interest

The Republican party managers,
while admitting that the city has a
heavy overdraft at the banks, contend
that it is costing nothing in the way OF
interest because the special funds on
deposit balance the overdraft. The
Iact that these special funds could be
drawing interest right along were 1t
not for the Overdraft is concealed. In
other words, the interest earned by the
special funds is used to wipe out the
interest charged the city on the over
draft
There are banks in Salt Lake that
would gladly pay the city interest for
the use of the deposits in the special
funds The city is getting no interest
from this source now, although, &C
cording to City Auditor Reiser's last
quarterly report, there is $4,000 now
in these funds in the banks. The in
terest on this amount, even at per
cent, would net the city $3.50 per month,
or more than the salary of any officer
in the city administration.
There is another point of interest
here. Oct. I there was $4,000 of the
water bond fund deposited in one of
the city banks. The taxpayers of the
city are paying 4 per cent interest on
this amount, the regular interest on
the bonds. And yet this money is

would amount to $3.50 month, enough

cial.
It has been held that no bank in the
city would pay interest on these bal
ances. This is not a fact. Joseph E.
Game, the cashier of the Utah Com
mercial & Savings bank, said yester-
day:
Our bank would pay 2 per cent on
the daily balances in the special funds
that had any degree Of stability; that
is, funds that could be used to adVan-
tage in the ordinary run of business.
We would be very glad TO have the
use of the money"
George NJ. Cannon, the cashier of the
lions Savings bank, took practically
the same view of the matter. Our
bank" he said, would pay from to
3 per cent interest on money OF the
city that we could use for any stated
period. Of course this could not be
done on large deposits that are liable
to be all drawn out in single day
without notice"
A number of banks Of the city pay
no interest whatever on deposits. These
would make no exception of the city.
All the bankers consulted considered
the allowing of an Overdraft as a set
off against the deposits in the special
funds to be unbUsinesslike and unde-
sirable.
