sharp blue eyes rOved over the tamil
lar room, a strange feeling OF desola-
ton stoie over her. In vain she re-
minded z4rseIf of hard facts that had
heretofore given her satisfaction; she
was the richest woman in Dalesburg,
her house was the largest and most
imposing, her clothes the finest and
most fashionable and yet
She got up impatiently and, going
over to The window, pressed her face
against the pane and looked out into
the December dusk. Muffied figures
FASTENED past, carrying bundles of all
shapes and sizes, for it was Christmas
eve; the sight sent queer little thrills
over Miss Cynthia and a great load
seemed to settle on her heart. She
had no one to buy gifts for, she told
herself, and no one cared enough for
the lonely old spinster to even give her
good wishes.
1t had not always been thus. She
recalled the many, many happy De-
cembers she had enjoyed when Sid
ney Bruce, her nephew and only living
relative, had lived in her house. She
had taken him to live with her when
he was Il small boy, and her love for
him had grown into a mild idolatry
by the time he had become a man.
Sidney returned her affection with all
the strength Of his loving heart I'M
til he wanted to marry Edith Blake.
Miss Cynthia had other plans for Sid
new, and refused to even discuss Edith
with him, but Sidney was very much
in love and cared not u farthing that
Edith was poor and a sort of upper
servant i'll his aunt's house. Edith was
a peace-loving girl who found the sit
uation almost more than she could
bear. for Miss Cynthia had taken her
when an orphan, six years before, and
had been like a mother to her ever
since. Edith loved Miss Cynthia dear
lv. but loved Sidney more, and one
December day she went away with
him and was married.
Miss Cynthia did not rave or storm;
she simply ignored the existence of
the youthful pair, and Sidney, reared
in luxury, had to go to work at any
thing he could find to do. He had
never even tried to support himself
and now ne had Edith to love and cher
ish-and support in addition.
Miss Cynthia changed into a cold.

terness when her Oldest friends OPEN

distance from Miss Cynthia's. and
were happy but very poor. Sidney

Miss Cynthia watched from her
pIate-gl4ss windows and saw Sidney
trudgilg past day after day TO his
work, aE1 her heart hardened, for APP
parentiy he never glanced at his old
home. Ne passed with averted eyes
and Miss Cynthia had ample oppor-
unity TO notice how thin and care

softly; "to-morrow's Christmas"
Miss Cynthia's smile was so loving,
her best friend would scarcely have
recognized her.
''Is it, dear; will Santa Claus go to
your house?" she asked, gently.
Not this year. Father says he can't
come every year to our house, cause
we mustn't be selfish.~-Some little chill
dren never had a Santa Claus come"
said the boy, his eyes shining with
sympathy for the Santa Clausless chill
dren he spoke of.
A great resolve was forming in Miss
Cynthia's heart. She would take these
children to their home, and then send
them such a Christmas as they would
never forget. She could not do it for
Sidney's children, but here were two
little waits who could take their place.
Hastily she donned her hat and seal
skin coat, and taking a hand of each
wondering child, went out into the
night.
Now, children, take me to your
home, and when have explained your
absence to your Mary, I'll hunt up San
ia Claus and send him around to your
house." she said, as they went down
the steps.
The boy pulled her along the snowy
street, talking so rapidly all the time
of what he wanted Santa Claus to
bring that Miss Cynthia did not notice
which way they were going until they
stopped before a small house on a
dark street. Around the side of the
cottage the trio went, and the boy
opened a door noisily into a poorly
furnished dining-room. AT the sound.

To MINE
IN CHINA
Hawaiian Company to
Develop Empires
Minerals.

Plans are now being made for the
formation, under the laws OF this Ter
ritory, of company for the develop
ment Of minerals in China. Firmly be-
1ieving that there awaits the vigorous
searcher for gold and copper in the
northern provinces of the empire
rich harvest, corporation is being
formed which, seeking investments
from the mainland as well, will be pri-
marily Hawaiian capitalists, and will
be managed from this city.
The intention is to move rapidly to
secure concessions to search for pre-
cious metals and coal, and mine and
transport the same. Once established.
it is the intention of the company to
proceed on modern lines for the deyel-
opment of the properties they acquire.
and thus secure the largest returns
upon their capital. While the company
will seek first for gold and copper de-
posits, there is in possession of its
managers information of the existence
of coal formations which will be of
immense value, and these will form no
inconsiderable portion of the mining
activity which viii follow its entrance
into the field of Chinese development.
The officers of the corporation will
be L. Ahlo, president; John NJ. Thurs
ton, vice president; E. A. Mott-Smith,
treasurer; w. G. Bunner, secretary,
The company will be organized on a
basis of 100000 capital, of which 10
per cent will be called in at once The
shares will have value of $40 each,
and large portion of these will be
placed on the market Immediately in
New York and Washington.
A. L. Ahlo will be the manager of the
corporation, and he will, early in the
coming month, proceed to Washington
for the purpose of securing the neces-
sary papers and all the information
possible as to the proper methods of
procedure. Mr.. Ahlo is an American
citizen, and will return here armed
with all needed papers for his entrance
int China on the most favorable
terms. 1t is expected that the corpor-
alton papers will be filed during the
next week. There are many of the
most prominent Chinese citizens, in
Guiding Acting Consul Goo Kim Fui,
DR.. Ii, commissioner, and Chew Ho, in
the company, and it is expected that
leading Chinese in the United States
will join ii the plan.

Do Eops Pa Z?

An exchange answers the question,
DO Hogs Pay?'' in the following truth
full manner: Our experience is that
they do not. They usually sponge the
paper from some neighbor or sneak into
some store and read and then kick be-
cause the editor did not waste a lot of
good white space in telling an anxious
public what prominent citizen he is.
This same breed of hog has been
known to advertise in a paper and re-
fuse to pay his bills, or take his paper
for several years and then chuck it
back into the postoffice marked refused
and imagine that he paid the bill The
same class of hogs often belong to
church and let the poor widow pay the
preacher more on salary than he does. -

FR0A
A ChiNAMAN

Judge Wilcox is the recipient of
many freak communications, and not
the last of the burden of these is to
the effect that he should arrest certain
people designated by the writer's.
Yesterday afternoon a special delivery
letter, dated October "a, at p. M, ac-
cording to the postmark, was deliver
ed to him. Within he found a COM
munication fresh from a typeWriting
machine, with not scratch of the
pen to it. 1t was signed by ga Chi
naman Who Wants Fair Play" but
evidently the work of white man, an
attempt being made to write in pigeon
English. 1t read as follows:
Judge Wilcox: Why do police al
ways arrest Chinese for gambling and
maintaining lotteries? How about
Whiteman running raff1es every day in
Honolulu. How about gambling games
at hotel and many saloons in Honolulu.
Maybe High Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff
want Whiteman's vote. Cinnamon
has no vote, SO catch him every time
Suppose treat all alike more better
Chinaman no harm anybody, only play
among themselves.
A Chinaman Who Wants Fair Play
THAT letter. said the judge, was
never written by Chinaman, but by
white man. 1t only goes to prove that
there are still few men whom the
fool-killer has not put out of their mis-
cry. suppose people think that I can
order the police to arrest a man on a
certain charge and then try him in
court. That would certainly be a
travesty on justice and I'm not quite
ready yet to run that kind of court. +"

Accounts of Chas. E. Taylor, VIII Bs Given to necsiyer-Formsr 1sr- chant Has Not Been Located
 By odcers,

. The officers of the Bank of Roanoke have decided to turn over the books of Charles B. Taylor, e bankrupt merchant of that place. and thus avoid any further contempt of court proceedings. Taylor's books. 1t will be recalled, were given to the bank. The bank officials declined to turn ther1 over to Capt Charles T. Pol lard. the receiver appointed by Judge Jones
 g The ofiicials were cited to appear be- fore Referee Stratton and show cause why they were not in contempt of court A day was taken up in the hearing of eyi- dence on this question. H. 2. Wright, w. H. Knight, Robert Taylor. brother of the bankrupt, gave testimony on the contempt proceedings. An adjournment of the hearing was had until yesterday. During the adjournment. the bank offi- cials thought over the matter and decided that 1t was a bad policy to run counter to the Federal Court. Yesterday when the case was called, the attorneys for the bank announced that the officiais had decided to turn the books over to the receiver appointed by the court. In view of this. the contempt proceedings were dropped.
 Taylor is eaid to have failed for about $6000o. His assets are inconsiderable when compared to this sum and the books were expected to throw some light upon the discrepancy. The Deputy United States Marshals were unable to locate Taylor, the former merchant. A num- her of subpoenas have been issued for him, but he could not be found.

You can smother a cough with your hand but you cant cure it that way. Some medi- cines only smother coughs.
 Scott's Emulsion cures them. Old coughs and deep-rooted coughs can't be cured until the inflammation which causes them has been replaced by healthy tissue.
