THE WOUNDED EAGLE OF WA
TERLOO.

Eighty-nine years have passed since
the great Napoleon-the incarnate god
OF war-was defeated and finally over
thrown on the battlefield of Waterloo.
In this epoch making battle French
valor shone brilliantly. and although
the eagles of France went down in
disaster no dishonor attached to their
defeat. Recently a monument in men,
CRY of Napoleon's soldiers who fell at
Waterloo was unveiled on the field of
that historic struggle. The monu-
ment was placed near the farmhouse
where the "Old Guard" made its last
stand. The design of the memorial is
a striking one-a wounded eagle sur
mounting a tall shaft. Since Waterloo
the eagles OF France have been
stricken even more grievously than
they were by Wellington in 1915. In
1870 an army of 10000 men surrend-
cred at Metz TO the German conqueror.
1t is impossible to conceive of the
first Napoleon giving up a fight with
an army of Ill 900 valorous French
men to follow his lead. The "Old
Guard" of 1915 was composed of men
who were willing TO die. but never to
surrender. France honors herself in
honoring the vanquished heroes of
Waterloo. Sentiment is not extinct in
the Gallo heart. 1t has survived
Sedan and Metz. The Wounded
Eagle" may one day recover his
strength and revive the glories of the
"Old Guard. Baltimore Sun.

told Jessie the story of his downfall.
Randolph Morris was his principal
creditor and negotiations were then
in progress by which he hoped TO
transfer his L. a. o. stock 20 Mr.. Nor

would enable him to settle with his
minor creditors.

Jessie Garden had listened quietly.
Until that day she had given little
thought to the problem which ever
confronts the great mass OF mankind

we be fed. clothed and housed2 The
little room IN which they sat looked
mean and want-haunted. The faded
carpet, the cheap wallpaper. the taw-
dry decorations, the low and marred
ceiling. the wailing of a sick child
through the thin partition, the odor
of kitchen. the rumble of traffic over
a cobblestone pavement-surely this
was dream from which she would
awaken to find herself in the stately
mansion on the great boulevard.
Yet It was not dream. AT the
sound of the name of Arthur Morris
the past and the present stood before
her in glazing colors. She must be
brave; she would be brave. With that
superb insight which nature gives to
woman. the plot devised by Arthur
Morris lay bare before her eyes. Her
father was enmeshed in the net which
had been set for her. To release him

CHAPTER XVIII.
Diplomacy.


After an absence of two years Jessie
Garden looked forward with pleasure
to a homecoming. She had hidden
her instructors and friends adieu. and
was about leaving Berlin for a brief
visit to Paris. when she received a
cablegram from General Garden. re-
questing her to return home at once.
The message was SO worded that
Jessie was mystified. but not alarmed.
After a stormy voyage. the liner
steamed into Boston harbor, and Cen
erai Garden ciasped his daughter in
his arms. At first glance she hardly
recognized him. His face was drawn.
and the dark hair and beard had
turned TO silver-gray.
You will be brave, my pet" he
said. his voice choked with emotion.
IL have sad news for you, Jessie"
There can be no very sad news.
papa dear. SO long as you are alive
said Jessie. With woman's intuition
she guessed the truth.
Il am ruined, Jessie, My bank has
failed, and my fortune is swept away.
That is not all. Our old home Is in
the hands of creditors and am a
bankrupt-a bankrupt at the age Of
fifty"
Jessie smiled bravely through her
tears.

May with them in the metropolis, and
to be their guest In bingham during
the summer.
General Garden advised her to ac-
cept the invitation, but Jessie had
at first declared that her place was
with him. and would not listen to his
arguments.
Il have changed my mind about
aunt Helen's invitation" she said
later In the evening. II have de.

weeks at least. believe | can sell

there. and--and-well, think 1t best
to CO."
You are wise little girl. Jessie"
said General Garden. Il shall be in
New York nearly as much as in Bos.
ton. and you will be much happier
there"
A week later Jessie was fondly
greeted by her aunt. Thomas Bishop
belonged to an old New York family.
and was proud to introduce his beau
tiful niece TO the exclusive society
circles in which the Bishops had been
welcomed.
II was at the Cregier reception that
she again met Arthur Morris. For
a moment Morris was unable to speak.
and gazed at her blankly. first at
Jessie and then at Mrs. Cregier.
Really = why. really why - why.
don't you know, Mrs. Cregier. Miss
Garden and have met before!" he
exclaimed. In fact-why. in fact we
are old acquaintances; are we not,
Miss Carden?"
Il recall having met Mr.. Morris"
said Jessie. addressing her hostess.
1t was a trying moment for Jessie
Garden. Before her stood the man
she hated. Why had fate cast him
as reptile ever crawling across her
path? She longed to crush the ser.
! penis head with her tiny heel. yet
she knew that the snake had cum

caught In his coils. Never until that
moment did she realize the damning

Dividend of $I.50
 AND INCREASE IN
 SmeIter Capacity C. S A. COMPANY MAKES THIS
 DECLARATION.
Directors Decide to Increase the Size os Shelters immediately-Paym of Dividend Will Bring a Little Bunch of Money to This city-Mich- igan Gets Most, However.

A telegram received yesterday after coon by the Review, from A. NJ. Mac 2enZie, who is now on visit to Calu rnet, Michigan, gives out the informa tion tha: the Calumet & Arizona com ssany has just declared dividend oi sI50 per share, which, undoubtedly win be payable in March. The same message stated that the officials of the company had decided as soon as pos @sible to increase the capacity of the tlouglas smelters to twice their pres Gnt capacity.
 This news will bring gladness to the i:earts of quite number Of local par taes holding shares in this Bonanza -aine. ana no; a small amount of mon cy will be forthcoming to this city by rirtue of the payment Of the dividend. The greater amount of jubilation. how ever. will be in the Michigan copper country, where the bulk of the c. & h- stock is held. At that place near v d half million dollars is distributed Uben the last dividend was paid to shareholders, and the very satisfactory feature of the matter is that no small number Of the. stockholders in the aorthefn. country are persons who, ,srior to the discovery Of he c. & A sniDe, comparatively haG but little means.
 Outside of the shares held by the Gaiume. & Arizona officials located in Risbee, there are only a trifle over gwo hundred shares of C. & A. stock feld here in his city. The amount Seld by the officials at the mine and parties employed in the offices here IS considerable. that is. in tAe amount cf capital i; represents.
 The payment of the s150 dividend raext month means distribution Of aa aggregate Of s375.009. as compared gith $500. .900 paid to stockholders shortly after the first of the year Were i: not ;he intention of the direc- ;prs 10 increase the size of the smell ter plant, the coming quarterly would doubtless have been twice the stated amount The expenditure nee cssary for the erection of additional smelters will. however, take a lot of money, and considering the short time since the mine has come into promi- 4ence as a producer, its record is ex- ceedingty brilliant.
 wna. the company will accomplish sn the future will likely be even more surprising, as the reserve ore depos- ss, alroaay bincked ont and the rich available ground that the mine has, and which will require but compara- ssvely short time to develop, places sae company in position where. 1t each year, for long term of years, can turn out an output sufficient to pay it's shareholders magnificent re- turns.

Good Quantity
 OF RICH ORE ON
 Higgins Dump TAKEN FROM WORKINGS BE- TWEEN THE TWO TUNNELS Mineral Is Of Excellent Quality and the Carloads coming out each Day Have Appearance of Coming From Permanent Deposit.

| A visit-to the scene of operations CT
 the Higgins property yesterday con
 vinee6 a party Of information seekers
 among whom Was a member of The Review staff. that every indication about the mine pointed toward results to be attained in the near future that
 would warrant the company in carry. ing out its plans before long of organ. izing from a development into a min. ing company. The feature which had more to dc than anything else in bring. ing the members of the party to this conclusion was the appearance of the stuff now coming from the work ings between the upper and lower tun. nels of the mine. while the quantity of the r.aterial, that has thus far been taken out of the 6rift where the ore was located. and which now lies on the dump, acted as "c;ncher.''
 On the dump where the mineral coming from the drift that is now car rying rich pay-ore is being deposited, are several tons that have been blast ed out curing the past few days. The quantity is by 10 means of meagre size. considering that only two miners have been engaged in the explorato ry work being carried on in the prom: ising looking drift Besides each carload being brought cut Of the work. ings,. it continues to be identical in ap- pearance as its predecessor and the whole seems to come from a good sized arm that is likely to lead to permanent deposit of rich mineral.
 A conservative estimate cf the per centase. of copper which the mineral on the dump carries would place the figures at between 20 and 2S How much more of-the mineral will be talk en out of the drift cannot. Of course, be stated. but the mine man. agement has every confidence in the permanency of the body encountered and this same opinion is shared by large number of people who have been watching developments on the Hig- gins property These parties, too, have a knowledge of mines and min ing in this district which makes their opinion worthy of every consideration.
 From the location of the present workings there is reason for firm be- lief that the Higgins find" will lead to a continuation of the ore deposits that have long time since been found on the Copper Queen property The ore in the drift dips toward the Copper Queen lands where ore in large quantities was taken out and the de posits on the Higgins property, also, is located at about the same level where considerable quantities of rich mineral was taken from the Henry Tarr lease workings
 These facts being taken into con- sideration it would indeed appear strange should the Higgins people fail to open up a rich paying mine.
