derstand them She was one of those
women who have never seen man for
whom they could care, a man through
whom the sex becomes comprehensive.
The result was the same as in Sarah's
case. She shrank from all unnecessary
contact with men, and she had always
done So
The letter which was lending such force
to Sarah arm and speech this morn
ing had certainly come with a shock into
her secluded life. Miss Trevor was not
at all rich, and it was her custom to
add to her slender income by letting her
pretty house furnished for August.
Southleigh was near the coast, and it
was moreover close to some excellent
trout streams Both these facts were
stated in the un2ssuming advertisement

It was the I'd of September. Miss Ire
Vor had driven back to The Cottage, the
month of her sojourn at Longmeads be-
ing over and she was standing in her
OVID drawing room But she was not
alone. Confronting her was man. He
was tall, with one of those expressive
faces that are better looking in later
thar in early life. Capt Sandys had
beer a frank-faced, good-natured lad,
and there was still about him an indefina-
BILE remembrance of that frank-faced boy
But his fifty years had brought a dig
rity, which, combined with the candor
and fearlessness, gave his whole per
sonality a great charm. His manner was
very simple, and the suggestion of his
boyhood was completed by the way in
which he twisted his straw hat in his
strong and capable hands.
AS Capt Sandys stood there looking
around him with a certain air Of re-
81 etful leaYetaking of the room and its
associations, he scarcely realized. per-
h9ps, how little of the past month he
had actually spent there, and how much
o. it he had spent at Longheads.
His first call at LOngmeads-that of
which Croke had told Sarah-had been

He paused a moment as much for

if struck by her words. sorry? Sorry

But though he went obediently enough

at the task before her. Dinner time

activity on the part of the rail-
roads in Wyoming, for in addition
to the work already commenced
and that for which plans have
been decided upon, there are u
merous reports of other improve
ments and extensions.
The most important, of course,
will be the double tracking of the
Union Pacific through Wyoming
This work has been definitely de.
cided upon and will be commenced
as early in the spring as the
weather will permit.
The proposed Union Pacific
branch from Walcott, or some
other convenient point on The
main line, to Saratoga and Grand
Encampment, will undoubtedly be
built during the coming year.
General Manager Dickinson and
Traffic Manager Monroe have been
over the line of the proposed road,
have investigated the resources of
the country tapped by the branch,
and both think favorably of the
proposition. President Burt Wis
tied the section a year ago, and
was quoted as saying the branch
would be built as soon as the bus
mess conditions in southern Wyo-
ming would justify. The mining
camps are now booming, and it is
expected that work will be COM
meuced early in the spring.
Building operations on the Lar
annie, Hahn's Peak u Pacific will
be resumed early next spring.

grade from Laramie to Centennial,
thirty miles, and ties have been
laid ready to receive the rails.

Death Of Ethel Smiley.

Sympathetic grief entered ev-
cry home in this city last Friday
morning when the news came that
the soul of little Ethel Smiley
had passed to its Maker during
the night.
One week ago last Wednesday,
Oct. 29th, Ethel was taken ill
with a severe cold which rapidly
grew worse, and on Sunday it de-
veloped into an aggravated case
of dyphtheria which bafHed the
skill of the best medical attend
ance, careful nursing and every
thing that loving and devoted
hearts could devise for relief. AS
soon as diphtheria symptoms de-
yeloped the family home was
placed in quarantine, thus depriv-
a host of sympathising friends
from offering their assistance, as
only the physicians and nurses
were admitted, but in every home
hearts went out to the little stuff
erer and the family, and fervent
prayers were offered for Ethel's
recovery. But the disease gain
ed the mastery steadily till death
brought relief at IL O'Clock Thurs
day night.
Ethel was 8 years of age the
18th of last February and the on
ly daughter Mr.. and Mrs. R. A.
Smiley, and was born in Rawlins.
OF a bright, sunny disposition,
she was most popular among her
boy and girl friends and the idol
of her parents, whose grief can
not be measured and whose only
comfort is the thought that their
darling child is past all suffering.
Owing to the nature of the di-
sease a private funeral was held
from the family home this after
noon at 2 o'clock, burial taking
place in the Rawlins cemetery
Rawlins Republican.
