residents are permitted to listen to opera
wherein more than sixty voices are repre-
scented. Accordingly. the advertisement Of
"Olivette." to be given at the opera-house
last evening by the University Choral So

pleasure. The opera-house was crowded
until many were obliged to stand. Under
the efficient direction of Dean Grabill of
the college of music this popular opera
had been worked up to a point touching
perfection. The. cast of characters was
strong. including Marjorie Woods AS
Olivette. Marie Best as the countess. e.
M. Hart as Valentine and A. E. Newcomb

Settled the Estate

An attorney from Houston, Texas,
]. ID. Bryant, tells this story of Judge
Roy Bean, justice of the peace In the
Lone Star State, who is better known
as the law west of the Pecos river"
He held a coroner's inquest on a
Mexican, who had been found dead
near the Pecos river. The jury rem
dered a verdict of accidental death.
The crowd was dispensing when the
Judge called them back.
There is another matter to attend
to-" he said. "On this mans body was
found $50 and a six-shooter. It's con-
trary to the laws Of Texas and to the
peace and dignity of the state to car
ry concealed weapons. Therefore. +

deceased 81. The costs OF the case
ale $49, which just settles the state.

I h,a6 with eagerness; the moments
that passed in that search seemed the
longest he had ever spent. he kept
silence but Burt swore deeply.
At last the lantern was found ana

thew had excavated the chest and were
trying to pry it open with thelr plcA'
axes.
Neither Of them spoke, and the races
of both were white, their eyes SHINING
iercely. The heavy plank lid ylelded
| to their blows and came Slowly up.
Purcell caught the lantern and seht
| it's ray over the inside or the chest'
but the contents were concealed by
folds of coarse cloth that seemed 10
have huddled in on top.
The next moment the cloth was
snatched away, and the eyes or the
men we're prepared to be dazzled by
the CLEAN of gold. .
What was there?
If the faces Of the men couli have
been paler than they were, they would
have whitened as they looked. Their
eyes seemed startling in their glare as
they were fized on the object before
them. ..-. -.
The sharp and concentrated rays of
the lantern fell upon the shriYeied
form of a child. 1t was a skeleton,
with the skin clinging about 1t, the
faded, fair hair still attached to the
skull, a thin ringlet of it falling over
one sunken ~eye-socket.
It was a moment before either OF
them could speak. Horror overcame
the shock of disappointment they felt.
Whose work is this" finally whis-
pered Purcell, in a tremblin gtone.
1.-The devil's!" answered Burt; "and
we are the DEVILS own fools for having
dug here. If we had any wit we might
have known, when we came upon the
chest, that the pirate never could have
put it here, for it's not likely that they
took a chest like this out of a sinking
ship into a little rowboat, and then
packed in the gold. We are simple
idiots-that's what we are!"
The sound of his own voice seemed
to give Burt courage. But Purcell did
not, apparently, hear him. The old
man stood looking down into the chest
in silence.
Burt put one hand to his shoulder,
saying, harshly:
well, WHAT'S to be done with this
Job? I don't care to be taken up for
child-murder. How long has this been
buried here? You ought to be learned
enough to know"
Still Purcell did not answer, and
Burt went
WED better not stay here long; 1t
wouldn't be nice at all If we should be
found here. Let's cover up the thing
as quick as we can. Wen dig some
where else for treasure next time"
Eyes, we must bury it again." said
Purcell at last; "but let's see II there
Is anything that gives any clue to the
the perpetrators of this crime"
Purcell bent down on his knees by
the chest, while Burt, too superstitious
to have touched the object himself, yet
looked on with intense interest.
Purcell removed several stones from
the chest-stones which seemed to
have hurriedly been placed there for
no obvious reason, unless it was de-
sired to add weight. He lifted the lit
tie skeleton carefully.
Underneath lay a roll Of paper, dark
and damp, and which would have fallen
to pieces had not Purcell taken great
pains to preserve 1t.
That was all. The strictest further
search revealed nothing more.

"It's all a cheat!" said Burt, impa-
tiently, as Purcell stood, with the pa
per in his hands, his eyes fixed vacant
ly upon it, while the shovel and pick
lay. unused, by his side. who in the
name of all that's horrid, did this deed,

Let's hurry up now and get clear of

He seized the shovel as he finished
speaking, and began to work rapidly,
and Purcell thrust the document he
held into his pocket and mechanically
began to work, also.
Neither of the men spoke for some
time, and nothing was heard but the
sound OF falling sand and the low
swash of the waves.
The clouds were parting and the
stars shone forth, giving some light to
the two men. They did not pause
until they had carefully concealed, as
well 81 they could, all signs of their
work.

the authorities OF our discovery. It's

Don't you do 1T" cried Burt, quick
ly. II shan't allow It! What's the
use of making a fuss about It? Then
everybody will raise a great cry as to
why we've been digging here in this
way. And what shall we tell 'em?"
Burt hal taken the right course with
Purcell. TIE elder man shook his
head.

Burt looked at his companion in as
constituent. He had believed that
Purcell would have given up the idea
OF searching further, after such an ex-
perience as they had had that night.
He did not answer. His nerves had
been somewhat shaken, and he wanted
TO be alone and think matters over. He
only said:
Come on, now! It's time we went
home. I'll e you again In a day or
two; and In the meantime I want you
to promise me not to do anything about
searching for the treasure without me.

Yes; ! know. Ipromise."
Burt was satisfied to have his word.
and the two men went forward toward
home. AS they parted. Burt said:

Pacific and Great Northern interests
have closed a deal for a new through

their main lines the Great Northern
Northern Pacific interests will build to
Weiser from the north. An entirely
new country, rich in forests, agr1cul-

It will give the merger interests control
of the finest larbor on the Pacific
coast not already occupied by railroads.
It will be a winter route over which
much of the Oriental traffic can be sent
when heavy traffic makes the more
rortherly lines too difficult to operate
to their full capacity. The deal by
which the two interests were brought
