In the picture gallery Of the big house
in Hill street Esther Melhuish sat, with
her pencil and notebook on her knee,
a fair woman in a white gown standing
on marble terrace. The sun thru the
oriel window at the end Of the gallery
fell upon her upturned face and her
aureole Of ruddy hair, and Garstine, COM
ing in upon her, stood for an instant in
silence, too absorbed by the scene to
speak or move, till she turned and saw
him.
I'm not really lazy" she cried. 81 have
done great deal of work in the week,
but sometimes I must look and admire"
Garstine came forward into the patch
of sunlight and took the book and pencil
from her hand and laid it down. For q
week she had been working in Hill street,
with Mrs. Stainby to give her lunch and
tea, and for that week he had only had
rare, blissful moments with her, for she
told him with a pretty pretense at earnest
business that she had duty to perform
to his friend and that she must not waste
her time in idle conversation.
He saw now that she looked all the bet
ter for her quiet week, and for the chicken
and champagne that he had ordered for
! her luncheon.
II was not blaming you," he said, soft
ly "How could you think I could be SO

The light touched her downcast face
and wandered off to a nymph by Greuze,
dancing against sapphire background Of

| II was only laughing said Esther, and
paused suddenly. for she felt that the all
was charged with passion, and before II

At the exposition in Darrnstadt

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency Of medical science is
toward preventive measure. The best
thought Of the world is being given TO
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. Ii has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack
Of influenza (grip), and 1t has been OBJ
served that this remedy %counteracts
any tendency Of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence Of colds and grip in
recent years, and a be relied upon
with-implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold when
10 danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains in
the chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia, Be on the safe
side and take Chamherlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the cold is con-
tracted. 1t always cures. For sale by

THE VALUE OF RADIUM

In view Of the flood Of nonsense that
has recently washed over our mining
district on the subject OF radium We
think 1t we'll to warn our readers that
practically speaking, radioactive min.
eral is only valuable for the CONNER
cial metals 1t may contain. We have
been seriously informed that radium Is
worth something like five to six mil
lion dollars a. pound. If 1t is worth
that fabulous figure 1t only remains to
say that a pound Of radium has never
been isolated, and, If 1t were 1t would
havs cost five or six million dollars to
produce It, and, therefore, the radium
itself would be worth little or nothing
to the seller Of an ore containing that
metal. If an ore should contain as
much as one-fiftieth Of n per cent,
and radium is worth six million dollars
a pound. It would seem as If the ores
should be worth S2,25o,OOO per ton,
for its radium contents. AS a matter
Of fact 1t is not worth anything.
Interesting as radium is. scientifical-
ly, 1t is at present but a chemical curio
and seems likely to remain such for a
good many years. Because minerals
will make photographs and otherwise
act in a ~bewildering manner. it is well
for our readers to remember that such
curious behavior does not add in the
slightest to the value of the ore.-Salt

GRIEF STRICKEN TOWN.
Almost Everybody in Pueblo Suffers .
Personal Sorrow.

~ SSHcl SOiISWs
Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 11.-Deep gloom
has settled down upon this city today,
following the railroad horror which
shifted out 100 or more lives yesterday.
Many business houses are closed out
of respect for the3lead.
The wreck victims will probably not
be the only ones, or the most to be
pitied, as already cases of total loss of
mind. the result of the shock when told
OF the loss Of their loved ones. are re-
ported.
All the citizens have Joined in one
immense funeral procession. winding
incessantly from one morgue to anoth-
er. The death list. as compiled from
the best obtanable information early
today showed a total of sixty-six iden-
titled dead, twenty-eight missing and
lives lost. The list will probably be
added to during the day The death
loss to Pueblo alone reaches siXty-five
lives, with forty identifcations already
made. The search for bodies is being
vigorously continued today.
A City's Tragedy.
There is scarcely a person in Pueblo
who does not suffer a personal loss
from knowing some one of the victims
as friend. Entire families have been
wiped out, one instance being that of
j. Q. Thomas, commercial agent Of the
Santa Fe railroad, who together with
his wife lost their lives in the raging
waters. Many bodies have been re-
moved from the morgues TO their for
mer places of abode and preparations
for the burial begun.
Hundreds of people were still passing
through the morgues today, some with
morbid curiosity, the others seeking to
identify the remaining bodies. All
night long search was kept up and oc-
oil 1nn1
the darkness the work was necessarily
slow.
Fountain river, the most traacherous
OF streams, into which all the dead
bodies were washed. had today fallen
to nearly its normal condition.. which
made the work Of rescue ea1ier. al
though still dangerous from the quick
sand, which proved such factor in de-
laying the work yesterday. This did
not deter the searchers from resuming
the quest for the others.
Mayor Brown called public meet
ing this morning for the purpose of
launching an organized movement to
patrol the Fountain and Arkansas riv-
ers in hope of finding more bodies.
Hundreds of men responded promptly
and the work was taken up under the
direction of able officials, assisted by
more than willing workers.
Bodies Carried Many Miles.
Bodies have Geen recovered more
than ten miles from the scene of tho
disaster and there are rumors that
some have been found even further dis
tant.
(, At the scene of the wreck early to-.
Gay everything was practically the same
as yesterday. The c!!..r ir car was turned
completely over and has settled in the
quick sand until only the wheels are
now visible and has resisted all efforts
