out of his Office and directed his steps
to the produce exchange. Veering
around a corner he suddenly came upon
Marie. Intensely surprised he inquired
quickly and shortly:
"Shopping?"
But Marie, more composed. replied:
Good evening, Joel. This is certainly
very unexpected"
Eyes, 1-have-am-yes-1 am in a
great hurry" His confusion betrayed
his excitement and Marie was not slow
in understanding. A moment later
he added:
"Am I excusable? Will call this even
ing as usual"
Joel, are you still at it after all my
entreaties? Although you did not say
it, took it for granted that you would
give it up for my sake"
Jeol gave her one long look, then
rushed down the street, leaving bar
standing alone.
Marie hurried home, convulsed with a
variety of feelings. She quickly de-
termined that their engagement should
be broken. A gambler for husband
never!
Passing well-nigh sleepless night,
she arose quite early next morning.
Wishing to have something to occupy
her mind she took recourse in the morn
ing paper. A fire, fatal accident and
what is this? Bewildered and nearly
Frustrated she read the following head
ing:
Joel Leland ruined. His corner
broken and eggs are again within reach.
His entire fortune disappears"
The heading was sufficient. Above
all she felt sure that Joel's gambling
proclivities were undoubtedly cured and
perhaps they could marry after all.
The thought brought self-composure
and at last she felt happy.
1t was evening before Joel called upon
her. A silent tread ushered him into
her presence and with bowed down head
he began:
Marie, am I forgiven"
Her answer was never uttered. With
| bound she was in his arms and be-
tween the pauses of her sobs he found
| time to kiss the tears from an upturned
face.
"A fortunate failure for both of u.s.
he muttered.
| "JOel!"

Westward March Of Literature

1t may be true, as writer in the
current number of the North American
Review declares, that the musical CEN
ter of the world has shifted to Lon
don, but fact equally worthy of rec
ord, says the Chicago Chronicle, is that
the literary center of America has
managed to get as far west of Boston
as Indiana.

MUNROE KNOCKED OUT.
James J. Jeffries Still Heavy Weight
Champion.

San Francisco. Aug. 27.-Like the
veriest amateur in the prize ring,
Jack Munroe of Butte, Montana, went
down and out before Champion James
]. Jeffries last night in the second
round.
The man from the mining district
made such "a c reMaly sorry showing
that the great throng In Mechanics
Pavilion roundly hooted him as he pro-
tested to Referee Graney against the
decision that had been given in favor
Of Jeffries.
The two giants had not been in the
ring two minutes when it was fore
seen that the aspirations OF Munroe
would be quickly disposed of.
The miner was scared and awkward
and Jeffries in the first round had him
twice on the canvas taking the count
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees.
JeffrIes went back to his corner
after the first round with a sncer and
a laugh on his swarthy face. while
Munroe's seconds busted themselves
with smelling salts and rcstOratives.
When the two came together for the
second round the laugh on the cham
piOn's visage changed to look of de-
termination that boded i'll to the
miner.
Fifty-fivc seconds after the gong
sounded, Munroe was lying on the
floor, bruised mass Of humanity.
with Jeffries standing over him ready,
il necessary, to put the guietus on the
championship abilities of his adver-
sary. The miner was too dazed to
rise to his feet. and the timekeepers
counted him out, but the husky man
from southern California did not un-
derstand that the victory was already
his nor could Munroe realize that his
pugilistic star had so early set, and
the two men in a moment or two were
facing one another and Jeffries landed
terrific blow on the jaw of his stag
gerinS opponent.
It was at this time that Graney
came forward and ordered Jeffries
away, telling him that the fight was
ended in his favor.
From the time the bell rang for the
commencement of the battle to the
time that the count of ten had been
uttered against Munroe, only four
minutes and forty-fivc seconds had
elapsed The fight demonstrated, If
nothing else, that the world has yet to
produce a pugilist who will displace
James J. Jeffries as champion of the
world.
"A great throng witnessed the con
test. Estimates of the number in at
tendance range from 1000 to 5000,
and it is believed that the gate re-
ceipts will approximate $4,000.
1ne miners showing was d!sap-
pointment to those who had the con-
ndence that he would at least repeat
in some degree his performance in
Butte, when Jeffries failed to put him
out in four rounds.

How Russians Retired.

Lao Yang. Aug. 31.-Throughout
Aug. 9th and 2Sth, the Russian east
ern division continued to fall back in
good order on Lao Yang, but the
movement was slow on account of
bad roads and the difficulties of trans
portation, and the Japanese pressed
closely several times with light bat
teries. dragging guns to the hills and
shelling the troops whose retirement
was covered by Russian guns. Con-
sequently there were frequent artillery
duels. General MarsOn was wounded
and there were other losses of about
$50 men.
The Japanese scouts were extremely
active. Monday rain was falling, but
the rumble of artillery was heard on
the eastward.
The Russian retreat from Anshan-
shan was ordered for strategic rea-
sons, practically no resistance being
offered.

CONE TO DENVER
Lafe Pence Lugs in Mormon Question.
Utah Men Indignant. but Peace
Finally Prevails and Den-
yer Wins.

Portland, Ore. Aug. 2I.-The Ameri-
can Mining Congress relapsed into the
routine OF the official programme after
having spent the greater part of twen-
tyfour hours in hard-fought contest
over the location of the permanent
headquarters, which terminated yester
day afternoon with the decision in IA
vor Of Denver.
Preceding the vote On the question
of the permanent headquarters there
was love feast among the delegates
from Salt Lake and Denver. who ex-
pressed great regret over the unhappy
occurrence of Thursday afternoon,
when uncomplimentary words were
banded from one delegation to the
other because of the fact that the Nor
mon question had been interjected into
the debate over the permanent head
quarters.
Lafe Pence, who spoke Thursday IN
behalf of Denver. in the course OF his
remarks adverted to the Mormon
problem and instantly the convention
was thrown into state of intense ex-
element that permeated the proceed
ings for the remainder Of the after
noon and engendered a bitterness that
has not before been manifested.
Mr.. Pence's insinuation that Salt
Lake was noted chiefly as the home of
polygamy aroused intense Indignation
among the Utah delegation.
A feature of the afternoon session
was the election of Joseph T. Corn
forth Of Alaska, former Coloradan
as an honorary life member of the
congress. The honor was token OF
appreciation OF Mr.. Cornforth's serv-
Ices to the mining industry in that he
was one of the founders of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress and has given 1t
substantial and valuable assistance in
its growth since.

can no longer distinguish individual
detonatons. The WybOrg regiment, OF
which Emperor William II. is honorary
chief, is deploying upon the battlefield.
The Russian army is full of confidence.
The total strength of the combat
ants is estimated at over half million
men. The battle probably will con-
tinue for several days
Colonel Gaedke. correspondent of the
Tageblatt at Lao Yang, telegraphed to
his paper at noon to-day as follows:
THE deciding battle has been in
progress since early dawn. The Rus

miles from the railroad to the Upper
Taitse river, and averaging about four
Od one-thrd miles from the city.
"A magnificent artillery duel is in
progress. Since II O'Clock it has
reached extraordinary intensity. At
$3.50 a. M a Russian battery posted on
the heights north of the Taitse river
began shelling the Japanese. who were
attempting to advance on the Anping
