Fragrance Filled the Air.
Disgusting themselves as a pile of cam
paign literature they found themselves in
a little back room. Peering around the
room they soon discovered huge mud
pile which was yet untouched Not a
finger had marred It, Behind 1t sat lit
tie man with big gun waiting for an
attack. Not load shall | use till | see
the whites CT of their eyes he chuckl-
ed to himself, as Keen Nose and Quick
sight sight ,eadily saw the wisdom of the
decision. Tic campaign committe had de-
cided to lie. the other fellow fight while
they kept their mud pile in reserve.
The two sieuths sat perfectly still and
presently / man came in carried pitchers
bowls, tinware and jardinieres which
were ordered sent to needy persons. This
was John W. O'Neill and he had brought
part of his store with him. Accompany
ing him WIS a man of small stature
whom he called the secretary. This was
the same man the detectives had seen
handling the cards calling for refresh
ments.
Going to the door and coming back as
newspaper reporters the detectives &C
costed the two men and demanded to
know the number Of votes they claimed
I'VE don't claim much" said the Sec
rotary with fiippant air but I will
make a small bet that Mr.. ONeill will
lead the first race. We are going to win
and If you fellows want to get on the
band wagon you had better jump now"
This young fellow was evidently full OF
only explanation offered was a request Ia
"see the papers"
Without further ado the trail finders
made a bee line for the headquarters OF
John W. O'Neil and upon reaching the
door they were dumfounded.
Look Keen Nosei Do my eyes de-
ceive me? With that Quicksight gave a
gasp and fell back into the old detectives
arms. 1t was beautiful picture. The de-
tectives thought that they had landed in
the tropics. On every table In the room
were beaut full flowers. Huge ferns grac-
ed the windows and chrysanthemums as
large as a hamburger steak were taste

room here for less than a kings ransom
The prices maintained here have not only
been ridiculed, but misquoted. only a
day or two ago some friends of mine
from Europe came in and asked for rates.
They were astonisheu when l told them,
having thought them five times higher
than they were thanks to the stories
copied by the London papers.
"As a matter of fact. our rates for
rooms are no higher than those of any
other hotel of our class The only differ
ence is that we do not have the lower
priced rooms our cheapest being IS day
for a room with a bath. That is not be-
cause we do not care to cater to the class
that takes rooms for 81 or s. a day, but
merely because we wanted to have only
the best, and we did not have space for
the cheaper rooms.
Prices of Foods Reasonable.
Perhaps the prices 4 our bill of
fare are five or ten per cent higher than
, elsewhere, but that is so small as hardly
to count. We contend that the st. Regis
is in every way better than anything else
of the kind in existence but that even SO
we are not more expensive than other
places of the very first class. Even If
persons were willing to pay more than
we ask they could not get what we give

do not see that that is any reason why
we should be ridiculed and our business

which have really had the effect of driv-
ing patrons who had already registered

On to the headquarters of George b.

sight proceeded. There they found the
mud pile. 1t was fast diminishing. The
men in charge explained, however that
IL was not mud but mere collection of
facts which they were using to spike the
democratic machine or the City Hall
ring and that 1t was also being used to
help the newspapers pay salaries. In
distant corner sat Manager Jackson
working on a new statute of Vulcan and
preparing answers to the attacks of
Charles Simmons.

A careful search around the headquar-
tiers failed to reveal a mud pile of any
description and for the moment the de-
tectives were baf1ed The secretary was
missing AMI the two old sleuths began
tapping the walls in their endeavor to
locate secret panel leading to hidden
chamber. Presently Quicksight touched
the spring and a door silently swung back
on its hinges. Dropping to the floor to
avoid discovery an appalling sight met
their gaze. A young man named Ches-

Our total exports in 1901 were only
4155 100000 francs, of which Eng

more than 80 per cent of all the mer,

amount in 1900 to more than 47G.000.-

Deputy Sheriff Hardy
After the BIakeS.

Under Sheriff Edwin NJ Hardy
left this morning for Glenwood
Springs, holding a warrant for the ar
rest under a criminal complaint sworn
to by A. n. Anderson for the arrest
of ]. H. Blake and wife, Mrs. Cath
crime Blake, for obtaining money by
confidence game. Word was received
this afternoon by Mr.. Hardy that he
had seen Mrs. Catherine Blake and
that she had paid the bill of A. N.
Anderson, amounting to about eighty
dollars and also the bill of NJ. Walsh.
The sum of the two bills being approx
imately S145. - -
From present appearances it looks
very much as if Mrs. Blake, who re-
ceived the 5000 from the city had
worked confidence game in order to
obtain the money.

THE COOK WHO oUEssEs.
Different from the One of To-Day Who
Measures Everything
She Uses.

"I'd give a dollar" said the man who
coddles his stomach, according to the
New York Press, ito find a cool who
doesn't measure. She would gladden.
my soul. The cook who does things by
guess is q rare bird nowadays. She has
genius, else she could not dispense with
the cast iron rules that regulate modern
cookery, and geniuses are seldom in
digenous to the fiat house kitchen.
But there used to be plenty of them.
Why. I remember the time when half
the kitchens in the land gloried in a
guesswork cook. 1t did a fellows eyes
and his whole internal organization
good to watch her. She would take a
pinch of this, a handful of that and a
dash of something else and mix them
all together, and the result would be the
most deleetable tidbit that a fellow ever
put in his mouth.
Lord, Lord, but eating was a pleas
ure in those days. 1t isn't so now. In
these whirligig times everything has a
~machine-made taste. That's because
the cooks measure so much. Instead of
trusting to inspiration, as a heaven
born cook is bound to do, the Kitchen
queens Of to-day measure even the salt
they put in the porridge. No wonder
such cookery lacks individuality, and is
all on the saro dead level of ~mediocrity.
Merciful heavens. what ails these bis
cults? They're as heavy as lead"
POSSIBLY the cook made a mistake"
said the mans wife. 81 got a new cook
y~esterday-one that doesn't measure. ]
am afraid she didn't put enough baking
powder in the biscuits"
