Donintlorne. She knew no one
of that name.
Slipping into a seat near by, she
stared ut the picture. Was she really
like that! A voice from behind caught
her attention.
1T certainly was a great piece of
luck to have it accepted. No. / don't

last summer and painted the picture
largely from memory. l could never
find out who she vas and never dared

And somehow l have the feeling that
she lives in London"
His friend laughed.
".Hou expect to meet her IN the street,
then? And what would you do-just
go up and ask her to dineY"
Perhaps" retorted The artist seri-
ously. The girl, half rising from her
seat, hastily pulled off her gloves and
drew Il ring from her finger, then, aft
er a moments hesitation, replaced it
and turned. The artist was standing
alone, his friend having strolled to an
other part of the room. She lifted tran
quill eyes.
II will accept your kind invitation to
dinner with pleasure" she said dis
tinctly. The man, his face flushing,
sprang forward.
"YOu!" he stammered. Your"
But we will have to go at once, for

calmly. With an effort the man pulled
himself together.
Il am indeed honored," he said, with
a bend of his head.
AS In Il dream he led the way from
the building, the girl talking uncon-
cernedly as though it We're the most
natural thing in the world, and it was
not until they We're seated at a little
table overlooking the busy Strand that
he dared draw a long breath. Would
she vanish away? The girl leaned back
and looked at him.
And will you please tell me why
you did it," she asked-"why you
painted my picture in the first place
and why you exhibited 1t in the sec
ond?'
His face clouded.
Il hope you are not vexed. But l
could not help painting it. To me last
summer you seemed the very spirit and
incarnation of youth and j~oyousness.
And then. in fear and trembling, l sent
1t in, hoping. fearing, longing, that

BY wire and Air.

An accidental experiment in the We
locity of sound is recounted by a cor
respondent. He went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to his
ear he heard the click Of another tele-
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open.
Then he heard through the telephone
the shrek of a locomotive whistle, and
a few seconds later the sound came
through the open window in the usual
way. Looking up. he say a locomotive
half a mile away, passing the house of
a friend.
The mystery was solved. The tele-
phone that was open was that at the
distant house, and the sound Of the
whistle had come through its trans
formation into an electric current
quicker than it had travelled through
the air.

Interview With
 Professor Skeets
VERY RICH DEPOSITS OF COARSE
 GOLD TO BE SLUIcED.
Where the Gold Came From-Sed of an Ancient Sea Caught the Geld From the Colorado and the Gi,s Rivers, Which Washed Through Gold Bearing Rocks.

Professor E. M. Skeets, who is .r Bisbee in the interests of the local owners of the placer proposition near Yuma. promoted by the late Edwl d Sturges, gave the Review an in CT view on the proposition.
 He stated that the placer gold which is to be found in the 1000 acres ot ground owned by the company, isl lodged in the bed of an ancient sea, probably the bed or branch of an ex- tension of the Gulf of California. Both the Colorado and the Gila river flow original gold bearing formation, which Is a granite flow. The cliffs were broken down by the rivers and the gold locked in them was spread over the bed of the sea and on the beach. The eternal action of the river wator and the sea currents acted on the same principle as a gold pan. and gathered the gold particles into the bars. These bars all carry gold, and while the elements have changed the surface formation, the whole country carries gold. The richest deposits were found in the gulches, which have been worked for nearly 300 years. After making a thorough investigation of the country, Professor Skeets de- cided that from it's original formation the high lands as well as the gulches should carry placer gold. He inves- igated the hills and found that his theory was correct. The summit of the hills was found to be nearly as rich as the gulches. which the Red men had mined for centuries. The com pany was then formed on the theory that the placer dirt on the hills would prove profitable to work.
 The ground Is very rich, on several claims as high as $7.O0 per yard hay ing been found From three claims Professor Skeets predicts that as much as s4,S75,OO0 will be taken from the first ten feet of dirt.
 The company will sink wells and put in line of sluice boxes with pumps and engines to work the ground A plant large enough to handle one hun dred tons of dirt a day will be install ed. The dirt will be loosened by mules and scrapers and loaded into tAe sluices.
 There is plenty of fall for the waste material after the gold has been sep a fad Tha s- free from boulders. although there are pieces of the lava capping which have been broken up by more recent erup- tions. The caliche formation is in itself rich in gold, some of the larg. est nuggets being found in this forma- ton.
 The gold, which is very coarse, is worth from $500 to s20.OO an ounce.
 Later the company will install a big hydraulicing plant, so that at least 1000 yards can be washed a day.
 The people who have explored the country have always spent much time in hunting for the mother lode or vein, and without success. Profes- sor Skeets said that be believes that the gold comes directly from the gran ite flow in the immediate vicinity.

TURNER CLAIMS WIFE
THREW THINGS AT HIM
Former Iowa Man Says He Fears Bet
= ter Half and Wants Divorce

George NJ. Turner, who came to ST.
Paul a. year ago from Oelwein, Iowa.
Where he was employed by the Great
Western wants a divorce from his wife.
Elizabeth. The petition was fled in
the district court yesterday, and con-
tains charges enough to separate a
good percentage of the married couples
of st. Paul if they were properly dis
trlbuted and substantiated
The Turner's were married in Os-
Wego, N. Y. ten years ago, and the
trouble, he claims, commenced almost at
once. There was fourteen-year- old
adopted daughter in the family, of
whom, according to Turner, Mrs. Tur-
ner became jealous.
From that time up to the present.
Mr.. Turner claims, his wife has de-
voted a goodly portion of her time to
throwing things at him. One time it
was saucer, at another a pepper box.
and once she threw lamp. Another
time she attempted to stab him. and
once she attacked him with a bali hat.
Mr.. Turner says his wife has often
threatened to kill him and his daugh-
ter by former wife, and he is afraid
she will carry out her threats. He
asks for a divorce and for the custody
OF the four minor children.
