 ONLY A SCARE.-Some small boys reported to the police last night that g drunken man was trying to kidnap one of their number from the city plaza during the band concert. Captain Bush made a thorough search, but could not find the man and neither could he get on the trail of any lost child. so he issued d bulletin that there was no Kidnapping.
 BACK TO THE TRACK.-George KlotzbGch has moved the Greene and Packard string of racehorses back to the racetrack grounds in order to be more conveniently located for training purposes. He has his eye on some of the purses hung up for the Holiday stake races, and if he don't pick some of the persimmons it will be because his pole is shorter than he really thinks it is.

 ADULTERATED PEPPER-The Les Angeles Times says: "A letter from Dr. w. L. Woodruff of Troy. Arizona. was read. in which the writer com plained that ground pepper sold by a certain wholesale house in Los An geles was adulterated. The doctor stated that recently, while the cook in his family was seasoning d dish of string beans with some cf this pepper, the lid came off the pepper box, and most of the contents was poured upon the beans. The stuff was scraped off as best it could, but a good deal remained on the beans. which were not rendered unduly hot by the surplus of seasoning. but all who partoCk of the beans be- came i'll immediately afterward, the doctor himself being seized with a Vio- lent vomiting spell. He inclined to the belief that the sickness was caused by some poisonous substance mixed with the. pepper. A sample of the pepper has been sent to Dr. Powers for analy- sis, and if the commodity is found to be adulterated it's manufacture and sale by the Les Angeles firm will be looked into by the health authorities"

Presently Esterley could see that
men were at work with axes, saws, and
crowbars to rescue him. He had been
conscious without thinking of 1t that
the air was hazy with smoke. but his
mind had taken no account OF the fact.
Now he heard a persistent, faint
cracking sound horrible fear
mashed through his brain, and he
alewed his head round. The car behind
him had caught fire. His heart con-
tracted and stood for a moment with
a ghastly horror. Good heavens. he
would be roasted alive, unless the res

that they were working desperately.
but he could not help calling out to
hurry for Gods sake. He tried franti-
cally to draw his feet from the trap
which pinioned them, but he only sue
ceeded in cutting them against the
timbers tilf the blood streamed from
his raw ankles.
Then he fell quiet, saying to himself
over and over again, Keep cool. Ned
Esterley. Keep cool. There must be
some way out Of this thing. Good
God, there MUST" The sweat Of
agony poured from his face. How
slow the rescuers were, and how fast
the flames leaped toward him! He
wanted to keep crying out to the men
to hurry. but he bit back the words.
They were doing all that mortal men
could do.
Gradually It dawned upon him that
he was lost. Great volumes of smoke
rolled between him the rescuers. tell
ing him that they could not reach him
in time. With the assurance-after
the first frantic rush of fear-there
came to Esterley a singular GOODNESS.
He drew bis revolver from his hip

bent rod near his hand, where it would
be- ready for emergencies. Then he

She held out the ring to him, smil-
ing In rather uncertain fashion, but
Esterley noticed that she was very
white. He was savagely glad of 1t.
for at the time he was cold as ice and
hard as iron.
HAS the last word been said?" he
asked without trace of emotion in
his voice. Are you going to turn me

You fiatter yourself. sir, in think
ing / shall want you back" she re-
torted. Shall lay the ring on the
table, or will you take IT."
He dropped the ring into his vest
pocket. bowed coldly. and turned on
his heel. Next moment the st.eet
door had changed behind him. The girl
sank into a chair and covered her face
with her hands. Presently deep sobs
began to shake her. Meanwhile Ned
Esterley, in moody. frowning silence,
strobe down to the Union Depot with
his suitcase in his hand. Fifteen min
utes later he was on a train bound for
Cripple Creek. He gazed out of the
window without seeing any of the
glory of the winter sunshine. which
fell in sheen of splendor on the
white-blue range of peaks in the dis
tance. He was sick at heart, and bit
ter against the girl who had misjudged
him. What right had she to SEN
tence him before she had heard his
vindication? What right to vote him
guilty of disloyalty because she had
found him with Kate Sanford's hand
in his. her eyes swimming in tears?
An hour passed. two hours; but
Esterley took no thought of the flight
of time. 1t might be five minutes
since he had entered the train. or
it might be five hours. He neither
knew nor cared His personal problem
drove from his mind other considera-

There came a sudden jar, which
threw Esterley forward against the

to be told that the engine had been
reversed. and the airbrakes set There
came to him the sharp grinding of
wheels on the track, and with it the
gradual lessening of speed. A moment
later there was horrible crash. The
floor of the car rose to meet the roof.
The last that Esterley remembered
was plunging forward through the air.
When he came to himself, he found
about him great pile of debris. He
was deep hidden in what remained of

around his cut head. and began his
attempt to free himself. Had the
