He held up small bag before Bat

Battersleigh approached his face to
the bag and snuffed at it once, twice.

"Where'd you get them, and how?"

some risks, but We'll chance it. Go

Battersleigh busted himself about

he removed the hot tin from the oven

The First Eall ct Ellisvilic.
The wife Of the section boss sat In
conscious dignity, as became a leader
Of society. Below her in order OF
station came Nora, the head waiter.
and the red-headed waiter girl, and
the littlest waiter girl, and the wife OF
the new grocery man. These sat
silent and unhappy at one part OF the
long row of chairs that lined the side
of the hall. Opposite to them, equally
silent and equally unhappy, sat lit
tie row OF men.
1t was the beginning of the ball
These were the first arrivals. At
the head OF the hall, far off, sat three
musicians, negroes alleged to play
volins and an accordion, and by that
merit raised to bad eminence-
After a vast hiatus the door at the
main entrance was pulled cautiously
open, a little at time. Evidently
some one was looking in. AT length
the door opened and two figures en-
tered affrightedly, those of Hank Pc
terson, q neighboring rancher, and
his wife. Hank, having forthwith de-
coyed to the row Of men sitting silent
against the wall, he duly reached that
harbor and sank down, wiping his
face and passing his hand across his
mouth uncertainty.
The door opened again and yet
again. Two or three engineers, rod
man, leveler and an aXeman came in,
near behind them more cattlemen.
From among the guests of the hotel
several came, and presently the clerk
of the hotel himself. The line of men
grew steadily, but the body upon the
opposite side of the room remained
constant, immobile, and unchanged

Sam, the driver was sitting rapt,
staring mutely across the great gulf
fixed between him and Nora, the head
waiter. AS she sat, the light glinting l
upon her glasses, her chin well up-l
held, her whole attitude austere andi
commanding, Sam felt his courage
sink lower and lower, until :, he. be-
came abject and abased Fascinated
wnone the less, he gazed, until Curly
poled him sharply and remarked:

startled and disturbed

POLITICAL DEBATE
Somewhat Unique Attraction Out.
lined BY MANAGEMENT Of the
Fair

A series of political debates as at
traction for big fair is something I'M
usual and unique, yet that is just what
the management Of the New Mexico
territorial fair is outlining at present
for one Of the attractions during the
twenty-fourth annual fair in Albuquer-
que next October. 1t is expected that
both party conventions will be held
the second week in October, when the
fair will open, and all of the big ora
tors of both parties will be invited to
come to albuquerque to put their
claims before the people of New Mex
leo in the form of debates. To the
man who is interested in the political
affairs of this territory, the plan offers
attractive features.
