She was not Mexican girl TO smoke

moonlight and laugh when her love
was won.
She caught her breath in deep sobs,
and the tears fell on the mustangs
brown neck as she urged him on over,
the miles that lay between them and
the valley, and at last there were the
giant cacti ahead, guarding the en-
trance to the valley like grim sentinels.
She turned toward them bravely, but
before the mustang had gone a dozen
PAGES past them he reared and backed
away from something that lay upon
the ground.
Lolita knelt and caught her breath as
her hand touched the hand Of the
strange girl. 1t was warm, and she
raised her head upon her lap. The
blue eyes opened wonderingly.

not find Them" she said family. "You
did not know 1t was so far. did you"
Lolita pressed a kiss on the hand
she held. II was a white, dainty hand.
No wonder Lindell loved 1t. She helped
her up to the saddle. and with one arm
around her for support she guided the
mustang back over the long stretches
OF sand and sun baked alkali on
through the night until the lights at
Manuelo's showed like fireflies against
the sapphire darkness OF the skies.
Manuelo could tell you the rest
how the two Americans returned Mt
midnight, and just as they were to lead
the search for Lolita there came the
three figures through the moonlight,
and Lolita fell at Lindells feet.

pleadingly. But 1t was Norris who
sprang to the strangers side with
glad cry, and Lindell held the Mexican
girl in his arms there before them all
and told her she was all in all to him.
So that is why it is Lindelrs Rest

way to the fort or to San Luis old
Manuelo will tell you how 1t happened

And If you are courteous and pleasant
Lolita will flash a smile up at you
from under her long, dark lashes.
And Lindell? He Is perfectly happy
and full of a gay. careless content that

world. 1t comes with the moonlight
and the music down there-and Lolita.

A Literary Record.

Sir Edward Russelrs record in the
way of literary work was his article on
Matthew Arnold on the day that great
man died. Sir Edward had exclusive
information of the event, which hap
pened on a Sunday. He did not get
to work until half past Z in the even
ing, and it was necessary for him to
catch a train at o O'Clock. BY dint of
debating to his secretary and writing
himself, he got through biographical
article of column and a half and a
two column leader within one hour
and twenty minutes. Such a feat has
never been eXcelled.

The favorite horse of the Chinese en-

An old Iowa practitioner. Il lawyer Of
ability and an orator of known reputa-
ton. was pitted against recent grad
uate in the profession in the trial Of a
case before jury. The young lawyer
had the first say. and in making his
address to the jury he took particular
pains to initiate certain mannerisms of
the older lawyer. He carefully adjust
ed his cuffs before beginning his argu-
ment, stroked an imaginary imperial
on his chin and then rested the index
finger Of his right hand along the side
Of his nose. These were the habitual
preliminary mannerisms Of the older
lawyer, and as they were repeated
several times throughout the argument
which was made by the young man
they provoked the jury and judge to
laughter.
When the veteran arose to make re-
ply he did not neglect to go through
his preliminary motions with even
more elaboration and precision than
usual. He bowed to the judge and to
the jury and then began:
Gentlemen of the jury and your
honorable sir, that young man acts like
good lawyer. but he talks like
blamed fool"
The advantage which the young man
thought he had gained in the contest
vanished in the roar Of laughter which
followed at his expense.

and the public morals. it follows of
necessity that anything which would
affect the physical vigor or health
of any great number of male mem
bers of society would just as neces-
sarily affect the public welfare and
the public morals, and for exactly the
same reasons. The court must take
judicial knowledge of the fact that
the labor ordinarily required upon the
public works of a large city is of
such q nature that an employment
upon such work for a great many
consecutive hours will have an in
furious effect upon the physical vigor
and in that sense upon the health of
those who engage in it.
ut is not for the court to say how
many hours of such consecutive la
Dor would be deleterious to The health
of the laborer. That decision is left
with the legislative authority and
unless grossly abused or carried to
arbitrary or unreasonable limits
ought not to be interfered with by
the court.

of the city ordinance governing length
of a day of labor. goes into the first
principles of the question underlying
the issue. He holds contrary to the
supreme court decision in the case of
Seattle VS.. Smith, heretofore consid-

cerpts from his decision, indicating
his conclusion, follow:
"The law of this case seems to have
