mixture of northern and southern
idioms.

How Jacques Ti..ot Painted.

An interesting story is told of
Jacques Tissot, the great French
painter, lately deceased. While in
England he painted a beautiful reli-
gious picture and, meeting a country
woman, asked her opinion of his
work. Its chef d'oeuvre," she re-
piled, giving remarkably just and
detailed appreciation of the various
merits of the. painting. Are you
satisfied" asked friend. Tissot an
swered in the negative. He entirely
reprinted his picture, working night
and day.
When finished he sent for his fair
critic, who pronounced it admir-
able" and remained silently admiring
it with smiling criticism. Are you
satisfed?" asked the friend again
when the lady departed. NO." an
swered the artist, and set to work
for the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting she gazed at it for some mo-
ments with evident emotion, and then
without word sank softly to her
knees and began to pray. Are you
satisfied now?" whispered the friend.
And Jissot said. "Yes."

CHAPTER X.

SEYMOUR THE SLEUTH.
No word had been received from
Mr.. Bernard Seymour since his de-
parture from ST. Louis, at which
time he requested that $500 be
forwarded to him at New Or
leans. 1t was a popularity of the
Bernard Seymour kilograms that
they always contained stipulations
for fresh funds. Mr.. Stevens had a
hearty respect for the Seymour
luck. He overlooked ANY slight irreg-
ularities in methods, and accordingly
telegraphed the money, and also full
instructions concerning the search
for the architect and contractor in
charge. of the supposititious Hestor
country house.
No answer came from Mr.. Seymour.
When the staff of reporters arrived
in New Orleans, they learned that
Mr.. Seymour had registered at the
ST. Charles Hotel. He had cashed
the money order, but had not occu-
pied his room, nor had he been seen
at the hotel since the time of the
financial transaction. The new arriv-
ais made vain search for the miss
ing sleuth, and then went briskly to
work without him.
When Bernard Seymour arrived in
New Orleans, he was, as he expressed
it, much the worse for wear
When he learned that he had caused
the arrest of a famous Chicago cler-
gyman, instead of l.. Sylvester Vim
cent, he lost no time in quitting ST.
Louis. He abandoned his baggage at
the Planters Hotel, and took the
first train south.
Seymour arrived in New Orleans
the following evening. He decided
that the ''West En6'-the breathing
place of the Southern metropolis
would be the most congenial place to
begin operations. The West Ends
is a cluster of hotels, fringing the
bathing beaches on the south shore
of Lake Pontchartrain, and serves as
a more aristrocratic Coney Island to
New Orleans. Mr.. Seymour found it
brilliant with rows of electric lights.
A score of orchestras and bands were
blending their harmonies with the
murmur of the pleasqre-seeking
throng.
Hello, Seymour"
a heavy set man, with his face
marked by cavernous grin, pushed
his way through crowd and slapped
Mr.. Bernard Seymour on the
shoulder.
swell, you little ferret, what are
you doing in New Orleans?"
"Sir!"

A wAYslDE CABIN.

Alone 1t stands, in the weedy lap of a
hollow, dusk and DIM
ABOVE its sagging ridge-pole peeps the
ch1mney's ragged rim.
The feathered plume of maple dips down
to the window-sash;
The gables melt in the velvet of willow
and elm and ash
A mellow bank to the westward of violet
fleece flung wide
The low sun stains, as a rose-leaf might
purple vases side.
me afterglow on the forest melts, and
Sits faint amber through,
TIL the buckeyes branching antlers drip
with a film of golden dew
The door swings slack, and the moss and
mold its under edge befringe;
Wild potato and buckwheat vines have
tangled it's one lone hinge.
OmDer and tan, the toadstools push
through riffs in the cabin floor
And birds have built in the chimney
throat, where the blaze shall dance
no more.
Here is the trail of a ruined fence a
fields forsaken sweep,
Its edges girt with mullen spikes, its
half-lost burrows deep
In webs of balm and moneywort and
rivers of grassy mist,
Alight with the scarlet milkweed bloom
and thistles' amethyst.
But who was he who titled the field when
the furrowed lines were new,
And down through the dewey green ar
cades the singing cOrn-leaves blew?
And whose the careful, busy hand that
over the window-frame
Entwined the woodland brier-vine with
its soft rosettes of flame?
The forest-fragrant breezes sigh through
the cabin bare and lone,
But tell no tale of the sojourners it's
shaggy walls have known.
The leaves that dance to the call of
spring with autumn's frosts grow
red
The wheel of time spins swiftly on but
here is a broken thread.
Clammy and cold the dew and mist brush
over my face like spray,
AS out of the hollow's damp and gloom I
seek my homeward way.
A splinter of moonlight falls across the
rough old cabin floor,
And heavy scents of night blow in
through the idly gaping door.

Mister Bender? Did We sleep sound?''
II should say we did, said Sey-
the greeting and by the honest face
of the Yankee skipper. "We are a

How did we come aboard, and where
are we headed for?"
Il reckon you boys war a bit

We hungry? 1 reckon so. Their cook
has somethin' ready for We. Come

hot. and l will tell We all erbout it,
They went into the little cabin.
The darkey cook appeared with a
steaming dish of steak, some hot
corn bread, baked potatoes. coffee
and vegetables. The voyagers fell
upon the savory spread with avidity

sence of it was that Bill Howe, the
first mate of the ''Sam Walker" was
on shore leave, and at an early hour
had met the convivial Seymour and
Bender. They had declared the sail
or the best fellow in the world. and
would not listen to his departure.
You and Bill hove in sight about
six o'clock this mornin'," said Capt.
Parker, as he passed the steak to
Seymour for the third time. 'Of
course, L seen that We was a bit un-
der the weather, but We talked all
square and fair, sayin' we wanted to
take cruise, and when I said the

it, and Capt. Parker laughed with a
vigor hearty and pleasing.

longed to go to Havana" said Mr.
Seymour. why l should select this
special time is not readily apparent,

FUTURE OF
H|LLSB0RO
Governor 0tero Greatly Pleased
With the Reception Given
Him In Sierra County.
GREAT MINERAL RICHES
The New Camp Of Quartzite.-The
Drouth Threatens Losses to Cattle
and Sheep Men.

Il never have met more hospitable
or nicer class of people than | did at
! Hillsboro," said Governor Oterc this
! morning speaking of his recent trip to
Sierra County with Territorial Secre-
tary J. w Reynolds, and Judge F. w.
Parker we were given a royal re-
ception in the pretty little mining
town.
While things are rather quiet at
Hillsboro. yet there is undoubtedly
great future for that part of New Mex
leo. The mineral deposits are vast
and all that is needed is capital and
the extension of the railroad from
Lake Valley to Hillsboro and beyond,
to create one of the best mining dis
tricts in the United States. In such
an event, Hillsboro would become
quite little city. AS it is, its people
are very sanguine about the future.
The day | was in Hillsboro. big deal
was reported closed for the Trujillo
Placers at the new camp of Pittsburg-
I'VE drove to the new camp of
QuarIzite on the Las AnimaS River. in
the Black Range. about twenty-seven
miles northwest of Hillsboro. The trip
was made in an open spring wagon, All
along the road we saw prospectors at
work and would not be astonished to
hear of some big discoveries soon. At
Quartzite about ten men are at work.
There is big dyke or blow out that
carries the ore and if it assays as rich
as it is claimed, it certainly is a Won
derfuI discovery We arrived in camp
in the evening and left the following
noon.
1T is exceedingly dry in Sierra Coun-
ty and the Las Animas River at Quartz
ite is without water, but there is a
good spring convenient to the mining
properties Unless rain sets in soon.
the cattlemen of Sierra County will be
heavy losers. Cattle look thin and
weak and sheep are suffering TOO. The
grass is practically gone from the
range. Goats, however, are thriving
and look well and that industry is
making wonderful progress in Sierra
County"
Gov trii0r Otero was very much
pleased with the reception given him
in Chihuahua and was greatly impress
ed with the latent resources and pos
sibilities of the country tributary to

Charge CT Illegally Cutting Tim
her on Pecos River Reserve.

In the case Of the United States VS..
Margarito Romero in United States
Court at Las Vegas. a sealed verdict
was brought in on Saturday evening
of last week and announced on Mon
day morning. The verdict was mot
guilty" of the charge of illegally cut
ting timber on the Pecos River For
est Reserve. This was the second
time that the case was tried. the first
time the jury having stood ten to two
for accuttal. Witnesses in the case
from Santa Fe were |. B. Hanna, su-
perintendent of the Pecos River For
est Reserve; Major Fred Muller, re-
ceiver of the federal land office and
Norman l.. King of the surveyor gen
erals office. Others who testified on
behalf Of the government were Mat
thew G. Reynolds of st. Louis, Uni
ted States attorney of the Court of
Private Land Claims, and R. c. Nc
Clure Of Silver City supervisor of the
Gila Reserve. One of these witnesses
deemed the evidence presented on be-
half of the government to have been
SO conclusive that he remarked upon
his return to Santa Fe that Mr.. Ro-
nero had been found guilty. The
New Mexican took the report to be au-
and to its regret published
it. The many friends OF Mr.. Romero
in Santa Fe are glad that he has been
for the charge against him

grounds that arose over several CON
