The letter was dated Toronto. No

The letter was dated Toronto. No
vember 8. 1t was signed by the man
she had met in Wisconsin the summer
before. 1t was the clue to q secret that
none knew except herself and him. She
let it drop OH the couch and sat there
thinking.
And daddy will break that stock. he
says. and ruin every n that has 1t.
Oh. dear. what shall l do"
She sat there half an hour. thinking
desperately. At the end Of that time
she sat down at her desk and wrote
u telegram. writing on plain paper be-
cause she had no blanks.
''They are going to put your stock
away down. Sell out. I know this.
1t is going to 12O on Thursday. They
want to ruin some one. ! don't know
who it is. DOTTIE."
She went to sleep after that. On
| Wednesday morning she drove down
to the telegraph Office hersel: and sent
that message away.
That Is the a strange things
happened in Toronto. That also Is the
reason Canadian Pacific never reached
12O during that bad week.
OF course Dottie. who knew nothing
| Of stocks. could not be expected to
know that when q man gets tips that
are startling and wonderful he Is apt
to consult his friends. Nor did she
know that the man to whom she sent
that wonderful wire was h~and-in-glove
| with the man at whom the drive OF
Thursday was to be aimed.
In the Office Of Mr.. A.. Of Toronto.
there was q rush and hustle on that
Wednesday morning that had had no
parallel even in the most exciting
boom days Of the summer. 1t was
true that the resources Of Mr.. A.
were nearly exhausted. 1t was true
also, and this fact the spy had missed.
that a new bank was on the very verge
OF flotation in Toronto. The President
Of it was to be Mr.. A. In the or
binary course Of events it would have
been opened within two weeks or SO.
Herein lies the cause Of the hustle.
On the hint that a drive at Canadian
Pacific was intended Mr.. A-had sent
around to the banks asking prospects
for loans. He had been met by the
reply that heavy loans that morning
had pre-empted q great deal Of the
available cash. and that, while the
banks were very sorry. etc. etc. TO
throw his stock in the market would
only p~recipitate things. That bank
must be opened. 1t must be opened
ut once. All pr~eliminaries had been
gone through with two weeks before.
The executive staff alone was incom.
plete.
That day in Toronto a bank was
created. The staf was more or less
temporary. and could not be called
efficient. but there was money, lots
Of money.
On Thursday night. November Is,
the magnate received a telegram that
filed him with wrath and amazement
New bank Metropole opened here
with Mr.. A. President. Said to be
to protect his loans. Money eased on

reached Dottie on Friday night. There

Beautiful Evening wraps.

Beautiful evening wraps seem al
ways to introduce somewhere a glow
Of pink, which serves well to brighten
the complexion. Lining or trimming
furnishes the color. and sometimes the
whole garment Is built Of the softest
pink satin. One Of these Is combined
with chiffon Of a blush rose tint merg.
ing into mauve. and a cobwebby lace
Of white. with fairy outlines Of black.
There Is q wide collar of ermine,, and
the ermIne tails used as fringes are
combined with festoons Of pink roses.

Pictorial Postcard Fad.

Some idea Of the extent Of the craze
for pictorial postcards may be CLEANED
from a return of the number sold in
Germany within 4 single week. This.
according to n return compiled by the

the enormous figure Of 10.12S.569. an

TINE SONG AND THE DEED.

There was never q song that was sung BY
thee,
But q sweeter one was meant to be.
There was never 4 deed that was srandly
done,
But q greater was meant by some earnes!
For the sweetest voice can never impart
The song that trembles within the heart.
And the brain and hand can never quite do
The thing that the soul has fondly in view.
And hence are the tears and the burden OF
pain,
For the shining goals are never to gain.
And the real sons is ne'er heard by man,
Nor the work ever done for which we plan.
But enough that o God can hear and see
The song and the deed that were meant to

could. I couldn't stay in bed long.
Sick a. I was, Il "a easier for me
to crawl around than to lie and
worry about my little ones. So

the girl 60. I had noticed that she
had sores on her face, hands and

until Charlie, my youngest, began to
pick and scratch himself. He was
then ten months old, and the girl
had paid more attention to him than
to any of the others. Charlie was fret

win be its patrons, make it paying
investment for the purchasers of the
bonds. If this can be shown to be a
fact. the money will be forthcoming for
the enterprise.
This road will be an Independent
proposition. 1t will not antagonize the
interests of any other railroad, and
even if antagonism of any other rail-
road system should develop. which is
not at all probable. it would not in
the least effect this enterprise. The
Camas Prairie region must have some
means of transportation for its vast
products. and reasonable freight rates
on these products will yield hand
some return on the cost of building the
road.
Furthermore. every one knows that
the building of this road will tremen-

dously enhance the value of the lands
for miles on either side of it's route,
and it is equally as patent that it viii
be wonderfully advantageous to Lew
iston, Grangeville, Nezperce and the
intermediate country.
"Of course the money necessary to
construct THIS road can not be raised
until all the surveys are made and the
cost of construction accurately esyi-
mated, and all data as to the products
of the fields and forests are secured and
figures presented with regard to the
amount of business which can be de-
veloped and the returns to the invest
ors which the road can be made capa-
BILE of producing. This is the work of
the people who want this road built.
1t is not the work of the capitalist who
may furnish the money for the con-
struction, nor is it the work of any
individual-it must be done by the
community.
THE plan which Colonel Spofford has
laid before the people contemplates the
raising of the money for the prelimin-
airy work by small subscriptions from
those who will profit by this improve
ment, and all such subscribers receive
stock for their subscriptions. This plan
permits all to share in the profit of the
investment. If you wait until great
railway corporation project road in
the Camas Prairie you viii probably
never see the road built, or if you do,
the very much greater cost of con-
struction necessary for a steam road
will make very much higher freight
rates necessary, hence the advantages
to the people will be far less, and none
of the local people will be able in any
way to participate in the profits of the
enterprise.
Therefore, the people of Nez Perce
and Idaho counties should take up this
matter in earnest and help push it
along to the point of completing all
the preliminary work necessary to get
it in shape to lay before eastern capt.
tai If this is done, | feel justified in
saying, from what I know of this pro-
ject that the money will be forthcom-
ing for the construction and operation
of this road"

I next March. For the present we will
give our entire attention to the line be-
tween Huntington and Lewiston, a
distance of 1S1 miles. The line from
Huntington to Alturas, Cal, distance
of 40 miles, and the one from Lewis
ton to Wenatchee, distance of IFS
miles, will be after considerations.
I'VE will build the lewiston Hunt
ington line first. This will take about
sions will then be built, I can not say
as we are not figuring on that as yet
mo, l do not believe there is any
possibility of the road reaching Spo-
kane. The nearest we will get to Spo-
kane will be Ritzville.
THE route between Huntington and
Lewiston will be along the Snake river.
We will follow the. river all the way.
1t was estimated by our engineer that
there were 700 tons of ore per day trib-
utary to this route, and since the esti-
mate was made the tonnage has in
creased.
I'VE VIII follow the west side of the
river anu 81 Will Ue just dCIoSS
the river from the Seven Devils coun-
try. The longest haul from any part
of the Seven Devils country will be
five or six miles 1t will put all the
mines in that country on a paying

branch into the Seven Devils country,
but our road will give the country a
good outlet

by the Cornucopia. Iron Dyke and I'm

able sections of the country. The lum-
Der industry along the route will be an
