Suddenly a queer, ecstatic little
crow a sort of gurgle of joy came
from the room beyond. He rushed
toward the sound and a moment later
emerged with a bundle of something
in long, white skirts and topped by
bald little head. 1t clutched tightly a
bottle half filled with milk.
He stopped mechanically and picked
up the crumpled note that had fallen
on the floor, and spread it out SO
he could read it again. At the bot
tom there was scrawled line he had
failed to see the first time:
81 have taken Sarah, the maid with
me-"
Numbed, dazed, his mind refused to
grasp the situation. He raised his
eyes duly. The small figure, still
hugging it's source of sustenance,
dropped against his shoulder asleep.
His half conscious vision halted at
a photograph which for some reason
Annabel had always kept standing on
her desk-Muriel Wyndham.
In the old days Caruthers had al
ways taken his hopes, his ambitions,
his griefs, and lasd them at the feet
of Muriel Wyndhara. So, now, as by
mere force of habit-certain1y there
was no illumination in that stricken
face-he carefully wrapped the limp
little body in a great f1eecy robe and
hood which he found on a hook be-
hind the door, and, still with the air
of one without will, he turned off the
light and went out.
Jack Caruther's walked steadily
along in the dusk of the summers
evening, holding closely his precious
bundle, until he reached the residence
Of Muriels uncle. Muriel herself stood
at the gate.
'I-I was expecting Ted she said

Tommy just worships him.
"Muriel! Muriel!" said Caruthers,

He thrust the crmpled note into her
rand and she read it by the waning
light.
She stood for a moment, with
averted face, irresolute, the evening
breeze tossing the lace scarf at her
throat. her white gown drifting about
her.
Jack she said, jerkily, using the
parlance of her college boy brother.
"you-you-you got what was coming
to yOu!"
She turned swiftly making to go In.

The floating ends of her scarf had

When Carlyle Punched His Wife.

A volume by the late Anthony
Froude, the historian, tells this story
of Carlyle and his wife, who lived on
VIGOROUSLY bad terms, the latter dying
first: Carlyle found remembrance in
her diary of the blue marks which in
a fit of passion he had once inflicted on
her arms. AS soon as he could collect
himself he put together memoir Of
her, in which with deliberate courage
he inserted the discriminating passages
of her diary, the note Of the blue marks
among them, and he added an injunc-
ton of his own that, however stern and
tragic that record might be, it was
never to be destroyed"

One Cause of Deafness.

deafness is often caused by the
violence with which people blow their
Hoses" said a Eew<York specialist in
eve and ear diseases. There is an in
innate relation between the aural and
nasal passages. You sometimes feel
it when you are bathing and get your
nose full Of water. Then you will find
more deafness in localities where the
residents are subject to catarrh. In the
straining attendant on blowing the
nose persons stretch the eardrum.
Sometimes they burst the membrane.

II Only Thou Art True.

II only single rose is left
Why should the summer pine?
A blade of grass in a rocky cleft,
A single star to shine.
Why should I sorrow if all be lost,
If only thou art mine?
If only a single buebell CLEANS
Bright on the barren heath
Still of that flower the summer dreams
Not of his August wealth.
Why should l sorrow if thou art mine
Love, beyond change and death?
If only once on @ wintry day
The sun shines forth in the blue,
He gladdens the graves till they laugh
as in May
And dream of the touch of the dew.
Why should 1 sorrow if all be false,
If only thou art true?

A LOVE MATCH
AND A SEQUEL
>O-OOO-O-QO-O-O-OOb

Notwithstanding that relatives, mu-
tual friends, society, and the world
in general had selected Muriel Wynd-
ham as the future Mrs. Jack Caru-
theirs, no intimation of such posi-
bility had ever come to notice on the
part of the two persons most con-
cerned.
Of truth there was certain physi-
cal resemblance, which may have held
it's own occult explanation. Brown

pair that looked inso the other pair
had deeper, darker light, the differ
ence Of it's own tenderer sex, or, per-
haps, rarer nature.
But Muriel Wyndham-well, Harry
did not like her for one thing. Be-
sides there had been some one else.
Muriel had been widowed at 10.
When the sound of that terrific ex-
plosion in Havana harbor had rever-
berated through the hearts of men,
young Tom Wyndham was one of the
first to enroll with the volunteers.
There had been a romantic flight to
the Gretna Green across the state
border
They had run away and got mar
ied," had promptly confessed, and
were as promptly forgiven by over
indulgent parents, as well as the
equally indulgent uncle with whom
Muriel and her younger brother had
always made their home. So when
Tom Wyndham steamed away on the
special with his regiment, he left be-
hind wife instead of a sweetheart
to wait and watch for his return.
But that was long ago, as youth
counts the years, and had it not been
for that extremely small person, The
Pocket Edition of Tom Wyndham," as
Muriel's uncle called him, Jack might
have been able to forget that other.
But forever that soldierly figure,
which his mortal eyes had never be-
held, loomed up before his mental
vision whenever he thought of Muriel
and the gold mine of content that her
compaionship might mean to him-to
some other fellow.
Jack had never been able to eX-
plain this peculiar dislike for one SO
utterly charming and universally well
liked as was Muriel Wyndham. In
deed, Harry himself had never ex-
pressed it in so many words. Only
when Muriel was the subject, fit.
ting, disagreeable expression of coun.
tenance, a bit of skillful innuendo,
and a quick change of subject left the
intangible impression. And Muriel,
too, seemed to prefer to avoid Harry.
Once during the earlier days of his
business career, when one of the steps
from the foot of the ladder where he
he'd begun to learn the business"
which had led to junior partnership
in the firm of which his father was
president, Jack had to serve a certain
length of time ION the road" And it
was on the road that, Jack had met
Annabel Riley.
She lived with her blind father, the
old colonel, in picturesque vineclad
cottage on the outskirts of small
town where Caruthers had one or two

boiling for herself, her aged parent,

Jack had sought and easily obtained
an introduction; had called and made
himself aa agreeable as he could.

ITS ALL BUT DONE
Water Storage Committees Work CD
 Articles of Incorporation.

The executive committee of the water storage committee late yesterday after noon completed its work on the artI- cles of the Water Users association and adjourned until next Friday. Though the articles have been put into a shape satisfactory 10 all the members of the executive committee, there is still a good deal of work to be done. The changes from the original draft have been numerous but none which hay: disturbed the fundamental principles and none which were brought about by the rcconciling of widely different opinions.
 The articles will be reprinted em- bodying the changes which have been made. and then the lawyers of the city will be asked to pass upon them. After that they will be submitted to the fuli committee and then they will be given to the public. None of tne deliberations of the committee nave been made public, rot because it was desired that a close veil of secresy should be thrown about the proceed ings but it vas surmised that many changes would be made. It was thought better to wait until the articles nave been made complete and then whe,, they are given to the public there will he 70 erroneous impressions of them to be removed. All members of the e,.- ecutive committee are pleased with the result of their long labOrs and they see no serious obstacles in the rest of the way. MT. Maxwell said last night that the situation was entirely satisfactory and that the future was full Of hope
 As has been stated there have been no changes in the fundamental fea- lures of the articles as they were pre- pared by Judge Kibbey and by Mr Maxwell. It is not contemplated that ony such change will now be made, ana in fact none can be made. Only details of the plan may be altered

THE MATRIMONIAL BOOM
Is Continuing in Force Under the
 New Adri iitrat:ol.

The rush in the marriage license business which started up in a boom ing fashion in the closing hours of the administration of Judge Langston ap- pears to have wasted only half it's force. It was still going forward yes terday morning when Judge Phillips took charge of the office, and at ;nc hour of closing it showed no sign of abating. Licenses were issued by T-c- bate Clerk Kirkland to the following persons: GTegoriO Vigil and Elucinda Garcia; Ysidro Martinez and Manu"ll Marisco; J. C. Thompson and GeoI e7a Rogers. The latter named couple was married by Probate Judge Phillips. That was his first offense of that kind, and when application was made to him to tie the nuptial knot he had to asl for coinnutation of two hours while he prepared formula. When it was done 1t was still somewhat incomplete, but it served the purpose for which It was intended.
 The first applicant of the day went away empty handed, and he was not sure that he would return again. lie was John Averisch, better known as
 IO JOnn. lie Is SeVenty-tWO years of age. and the intended bride Appo- Ionia Laguna, is something less than eighteen and is encountered by baby nearly two years old. All of these facts and more which cannot very well De printed MT. Averisch related In detail 10 the court.
 The girl had no parents or legal guardian to give consent to her mar riaSe, and Mir. Averisch was told that that difficulty could be overcome by the appointment of a guardian. He asked how much that would cost. When ne was told he said he did not believe he could afford to marry. He was willing to pay for the license and even TOT the ceremony, but he was unwilling to pay any probate court fees.
 As he expressed it, he did not want To pay dollar q pound" for the kind CT woman he was gettin-:. He just wanted her to stay about the house While he was away. He left saving ne would weigh the matter day or two.

FRANK LUKE WON
 ASSESSOR FIGHT
Organization Of tho New Board
 of Supervisors
The Ceremony of the Invsstiture of Jake Miller With the Insignia of Office - Neri Osborn Reelected Clerk of the Board.

The battle over the appointment of q county assessor cane 10 an end yester- day afternoon. but the wounds are moi all healed yet. Two factions of the democratic party are bleeding inward Iy. After a struggle lasting nearly all afternoon two votes were cast by the board of supervisors for Frank Luke His supporters were Chairman Norris and Jake Miller. the new member. Su- pervisor Hunsaker passed. so that though the election of MT. Luke was not unanimous it was effected without opposition. There were at one time or another since the county election many candidates for the place, more or less avOwed. and most of them were en- dorsed by one wing or another of the democratic party. MT. Luke was alone without an endorsement.
 This office is enc of the best in the county for the reason that the occupan, of it has to fight for it only once in four years and then he does not have to make a popular campaign. This time there will be probably more e. pense attached to it than ordinarily, for somebody will have to pay pack that campaign lucG advanced by Sam ueI A. Dys9rt under an arrangemen, with the democratic county central committee. one of the terms of which was that he should have the office. It Is not improbable that the honor of re- imbursing MT. Dysart will fan upon the new incumbent. That is the kind of debt that the party would not want to carry over into the next campaign.
 Mr. Luke will not be a new man in the office. He held it six years ago when it Was an appointive office just before it was made elective and he filled U acceptably. Upon the expiration or his term he was elected assessor and tax collector of this city, and he nas held that position ever since. The office to which he has just been appointed pays about $500 a year more.
 It was not certain that the appoint ment would be made yesterday. It was understood that the new board would meet only for the purpose or or ganizatiOH. after which it would ad- journ until next Monday, the regular time Of meeting.
 The board convened at o'clock. Jaxe Miller, the new member, was on hand, as were about fifty of his friends, for 1t was understood by everybody but MT Miller that there was to be some Sort of an inaugural ceremony. Charles Barnett was also on hand with a cam. era. for he used to be a photographer.
 Mir. Miller was sworn in and Chair man Norris was reelected. Neri Os- born was reelected clerk without op- position. Then the inauguration of

How savases walk.

Savages always walk with their toes
turned in for two reasons. In the first
place the foot naturally falls in that
position when it has never been con-
fined by boots or the ankles distorted
BY high heels. In the long stride Of the
savage the leg swings freely like q
pendulum round the center Of gravity,
which is somewhere between it and
the other leg. In the swing the abduc.
tor muscles Of the inside Of the thigh
bring the sole of the foot under the
center Of gravity, and in doing 30
slightly rotate the foot toward the In
ner line, turning the toe in. Conven-
1ence is also on the side of the natural
position of the foot In the case of the
savage, for he has to do much walking
through long grass and underground in
forests.
A moments reflection will show how
very much his progress would be i'm
peded If he turned his toes out to catch
these. obstacles instead of brushing
them aside and outward as he now
does. Lastly, the savage uses his foot
much more as help to his hands than
we do, and it is obvious that in doing
this he must turn his toes in.
