sight of her gliding along from the head
of the stairs to an opposite angle of the
corridor. "lIark! she Is creeping this
way--sh. There. she has stopped. Now,

wrong scent"
Paul knew that Hagar was where she

In an ordinary tone: and, In voice per-
fectly clear and distinct. and little loud
or than usual, but at the same time very

Now. we must be very careful. Mary,
how we act. have put that old Hagar
out Of the way. at any rate. so there Is
no more fear Of her ovcrhearing u.s."
A very low ch,ickle was here heard,
and both Paul and Mary smiled.

CHAPTER x,-(Continued,)

The moon was up bright and full. and
the lovers walked ont into the garden.
There was some dew upon the grass. but
they noticed It not. They had walked
about the place once. talking only that
sweet, soft language which Is nonsense
TO all save those who talk IT, when Paul
was sure he heard footsteps near him.
He stopped and listened.
MARY he said, I'VE are surely dog
ged."
Paul conversed as before. but he
watched narrowly for some dcmonstra-
ton. At length he reached a point where
q thick clump Of rose bushes grew ut M,
angle In the wall. and when he reached
this he was sure someone was near him.
He passed on. but kept an eye directed
behind him. In moment more he heard
something in the path. and on turning
quickly about he saw dark figure just
gliding across the path from the rose
bushes. He saw in an instant that II
was Hagnr. With one bound he reached
her side. and. seizing her by the throat,
he forced her to the ground. With his
handkerchief he bound her ankles firmly
together. and then. taking of her long
cotton apron, he folded II up. and with
II he bound her wrists down to her
knees. Having thus deprived her Of all
power OF locomotion. he said TO her In a
tone which she knew too well meant all
that II said:
Now. IL you make the least noise
with your mouth. even so much rs would
awaken a sparrow that had perched up
on your black nose. I'll finish the work
BY putting a gag between your jaws.

LUMBER DEALERS COMBINE.
A Trust Formed in Phoenix to Work" the
 Municipal Government

The city authorities of Phoenix sus. pect that they are up against a lum- Der combine, and it certainly looks that way. The Gazette says: ''It has been the custom of the city to contract each year for the necessary lumber to make repairs to bridges, fumes, etc. This year, as usual. bids were asked. They were to be received July l5, and the advertisement asking for bids was published. As further precaution, the city recorder notified three of the large lumber dealers of the call.
 ''But on July I5 there was not bid on file. The council instructed the re- corder to again advertise for bids, and these bids are now being awaited, but as yet none have materialized. This has led to the belief that the lum- Der dealers have mutually agreed not to enter into competition by bidding, and thus force the city to buy in small lots as the lumber Is needed.
 "Some of the councilmen have inti- mated that if no bids are received at the next meeting, arrangements will be made to buy the lumber in car load lots from California dealers. It is argued that the city can purchase lumber as cheaply as the dealers, and there is plenty of room in the city coral to store it."
 While the city is taking the proper step in the matter of protection, would it not profit still greater by leaving the order for lumber with Arizona Flagstaff has a mill second to none in the land, and can certainly give better terms than Cali fornia dealers are able to offer.

FOUND A NEW TRIBE.
Modern CIiff Jewellers Discovered in the
 Mountains Of Oid Mexico.

A press dispatch from Fl Paso, of August f, says;
 "Dr. Bush, the we'll known archae- ologist, returned from trip of seven hundred miles into the interior of northern Mexico, in the Sierra Ma dres, and says he discovered race of people that proves to his satisfac- tion the perpetuation of the race of cliff dwellers who once inhabited this section. The language of the people is unknown and different from any he ever heard, and his hieroglyphics on stones correspond with those found in the remains of cliff dwellers' homes. He also found mummies exactly like those unearthed in cliff settlements, and people about the same size. Their huts are partially under ground on mountain sides, and everything indi- cates connection with the cliff dwell- CTS. The doctor brought back photo- graphs Of his discoveries and will re- turn to investigate more fully into the habits of his new-found people.

Collapse of a Premature Boom

According to the Fl Paso Herald, another New Mexico town has gone on the bum. This is what the Herald says: ''Pittsburg, the new town that sprang up in night in the Apache canyon gold fields, near Rincon, New Mexico, and to which there was such a great rush from this city last No- vember, is no more. The thriving camp, which once contained five hun dred souls, is now deserted, while it's successor, Chandon, now comprises only about thirty people and is loca- ted one mile further upthe Rio Grande in order that the floods might not sweep down the canyon and carry it's population into the river"

Extension of Electric Roads.

Lieut.. Gov. Joseph e. Willard has
put up s25, 900 for the W., A. & F. G.
Ry., provided that road has its line run
Mug to Fairfax C. H. by November LIST.
Work is being rapidly pushed and the
road is completed to point near Vien-
ma. The line between Vienna and Fair
fax, it is understood, will be easy of con
struction, there being little excavating,
filling and bridging. A few days ago the
road purchased p acres Of land at Fair
fax for its station and terminus. The OBJ
jective point now in view is said to be
the historic Manassas battlefield. Some
years ago Mr.. Robert Portner, it was re-
ported, said that if the road reached
Fairfax he would see that the line was
extended to Manassas. - Falls Church
Monitor.
The work of grading the roadbed Of
the Old Dominion electric railroad from
the Virginia end of the Aqueduct bridge
north for seven miles will be completed
in the course OF the next few weeks. The
road is to extend from the Georgetown
end of the Aqueduct bridge to the Great
Falls of the Potomac 1t is not expected
that the road will be completed and ready
for operation this year.

Fairfax Notes.

The Board of Supervisors met here
on Monday last, with all the members
present. The county levy for 1904
was fixed at % cents on the 500 yalua-
ton of real and personal property
county school tax at Is cents on such
valuation district school tax at 10
cents on such valuation in all of the
districts except Centreyille, and that was
put at 20 cents; so cents on each dog.
Messrs Williams and Burke made their
report on sheep claims, which was re-
ceived and approved, and warrants
drawn to pay claimants.
The sheep killed by dogs in this
county during the past year, were valued
at $24l.25, which amount was paid out
of the dog fund-a tax levied on dogs,
for that purpose But when dog
gets into flock of sheep and kills one
or two, the damage cannot be estimated
by the value of those sheep alone. The
whole flock becomes demoralized, and
sustain injury which cannot be esti-
mated, while the prosecution OF an i'm
portant branch OF industry is discour-
aged. = Herald.

The Philadelphia Record.

In these days of keen newspaper COM
petition it is gratifying to observe that
''The Philadelphia Record" still holds
its place as the foremost newspaper Of
Pennsylvania, position it has occupied
with honor TO itself and credit to the
community for many years. Not only
does it lead in circulation, but its inhu-
ence today is even stronger than it has
ever been before, which is saying much.
In the matter of giving the news it 10
invariably first in the field, while its
editorial page continues to be powerful
champion of the cause of the people.
Editorally "The Record ranks with
the best. Its opinions are net only sound
and scholarly, they are fearless and in
dependent as well. 1t truckles to no
political power. 1t is deliberate in its
judgment of men and measures affecting
public life, and when those judgments
are once formed there is no equvOcatlon.
What is most to be admired about the
"The Record" is its backbone.
The Success of such a paper is cOnse-
quently not to be wondered at. Ii has
the people with it because the people
realize that when it makes a fight it is
fighting for them. This has ever been
1.-THE Records" policy, to advocate the
things that tend toward the public good.
There have beer times in the past when
it has seemed TO even antagonize its own
interests by taking the unpopular side
of n controversy, but it has eventually
demonstrated its farsightedness by bring
ing the public to its way of thinking.
An illustration of this occurred more
than a decade ago when, single handed
and in the face of tremendous opposition,
il advocated the introduction of trolley
cars into Philadelphia. Looking back,
it seems almost iucomprehensible that
such condition of affairs could have
existed.
Many other illustrations Of the pro-
gressive spirit of "The Record" could
be cited, but the greatest lies in the tact
that it is appreciated to the extent OF
Boosting the largest circulation of any
newspaper published in Pennsylvania.

Surgery Triumphs.

Surgery triumphed on Thursday,
when DR.. Francis B. Stewart removed
from the backbone Of William o. Donnell
the twelfth vertebra. The operation took
place in the Polytechnic Hospital Philadel-
phia, where the injured man has lain since
the accident which six weeks ago broke
his back. During this time O'Donnell
has fingered between life and death, and
the doctors considered his condition too
weak to permit of an operation. he
has been kept on a bed made up Of q
rubber sack filled with water, so that
the pressure would be distributed over
every part of the body. AS soon as bis
strength showed signs of returning an
operation was determined upon, and
DR.. Francis laid bare the injured part
of the spinal column. The fractured
vertebra, which had pressed against the
spinal cord, thus causing complete
paralysis of the lower part of the body,
was removed by small tweezers, and at
the conclusion O'Donnell declared he
felt better. The man was injured on
MAY 5, when he Vas thrown from his
wagon at Twenty-second and Snnsom
streets. The doctors say that he will
ALWAYS be humpbacked.
