the field which, according to its spon-
sors, is destined to become the center of
industry Of the Rosebud country. This
town is named st. Elmo, and just now
contains nothing but the tepees OF the
Eagle Pipe family. But just as soon as
the reserve is opened for actual settlers
st. Elmo will spring up like mushroom.
Already various industries have been
planned, and telephone system, local
and long distance, has been ordered; port
able houses are at Bonesteel all ready to
be moved to the new town at a moments
notice, and number of houses in this
town will be placed on wheels and rolled
over the prairie to st. Elmo when the
time comes. An electric light plant is
planned, the power to be obtained from
a dam over the Willow Greek, which
flows through the site Of the town. Alto
gether, it is expected that within two
weeks after the town is opened it will
have at least 1900 population.

Money in the Slot Machine.

The slot machine in New York and at
Coney Island is coming money for its
owners. One man who controls the slot
machine privileges at many Of the Coney
Island resorts makes q profit OF more
than $500 week after the cost Of con-
cessions, attendance and maintenance has
been deducted. He has more than $685.
600 invested in the plant, the machines
costing anywhere from $25 to $500 each.
There are between 800 and 400 styles of
slot machines The aim of the expert
euced inventor is to provide a machine
OF sufficient attraction to charm the cop
per from the pocket without yielding
anything tangible in return. Lung test
ess are the favorites.
Great as is the vogue of the slot ma
chine at Coney Island it is greater in
New York City. One amusement parlor
occupies a building that commands
rental of $4,000 year. 1t is estimated
that exclusive of the gambling machines
which still flourish in the west more
than 100000 pennies are dropped into
slot machines every day, while on holi-
day 100000 would be nearer the mark.

CROPS FAVORED BY WEATHER
Reports of Damage to Principal Ce-
reals Show Decrease.

Reports of Damage to Principal Ce-
reals Show Decrease.
Following is the summary of the
weather bureau weekly crop report:
East of the Rocky Mountains the tenn
perature during the week was highly
favorable, but in the Pacific coast States
and over the western portions Of the mid
die and northern plateau districts it was
unseasonably cool, with frosts on the 18th
In Washington and Oregon. Too much
rain hindered farm work in the central
gulf districts, and in parts Of the Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic States, while
need OF rain is beginning to be felt In
northern New England, portions of the
Carolinas, over the greater part Of Texas
and In southern Colorado. Drought has
been relieved in the north Pacific coast
districts, but continues with increased
severity i'll the southern plateau region.
Corn had exceptionally favorable
weather and made rapid growth. In the
Missouri valley and parts Of tbs upper
Ohio valley and middle Atlantic States
corn has, however suffered somewhat
from lack of cultivation, and in Texas
the late plant is being injured by drought.
Better weather for harvesting wheat
made generally satisfactory progress, al
though still delayed by moisture In parts
Of Kansas and the Ohio valley. Harvest
Ing is practically completed in Missouri
and Nebraska, and Is well advanced in
the Ohio valley and the northern part Of
the middle Atlantic States. AS whole
both early and late spring wheat have
advanced satisfactorily, the least favor
able reports being received from northern
Minnesota. where the crop on lowlands Is
thin and late. Some reports of injury by
rust are received from Nebraska, and In
parts Of South Dakota the outlook Is
somewhat less favorable than previously
indicated.
Reports of injury to oats by rust con-
tinue from the lower Missouri valley, but
elsewhere this crop has advanced favor

CHAPTER XIV.

Leaving the little station Of Vesinet
we come upon two roads. 1t was at the
junction of these two roads that Prosper
stopped the hack. The driver had gain
ed his hundred francs. The horses were
completely worn out, but they had ac-
complished all that was expected OF
them: NJ. Verduret could distinguish the
lamps of vehicle similar to the one he
occupied about fifty yards ahead of him.
He jumped out, and handing the driver
banknote, said:
Here is what l promised you. Go to
the first tavern you find on the right as
you enter the village. If we do not meet
you there in an hour you are at liberty to
return to Paris"
The driver was Overwhelming in his
thanks; but neither Prosper nor his
friend heard them. They had already
started up the new road. NJ. Verduret
and Prosper had been running along the
muddy road for about FIVE minutes, when
suddenly the latter stopped and said:
"This is Raouls house."
Before the gate of an isolated house
stood the hack which NJ. Verduret had
followed Reclining OF his seat, wrapped
in a thick cloak, was the driver, who,
in spite of the pouring rain, was already
asleep, evidently waiting for the person
whom he had brought to- this house a
few minutes before.
Once in the garden attached to the
house, M. Verduret looked about him to
study the situation. The house occupied
by M. de Layers was narrow, two stories
high, and with garrets. Only one WIN
dow, in the second story, was lighted.
"As you have often been here" said
M. Verduret, 'you must know all about
the arrangement of the house; what
room is that where we see the lightV
cit Is Raoul's. He is waited on by a
man and his wife, who live at Vesinet;
they come in the morning and leave after
dinner"
"That suits our plans exactly" said
M. Verduret; there is nothing to pro-
vent our hearing what Raoul has to say
to this person who has come from Paris
at 10 o'clock at night to see him. l must
get peep into that window"

OREGON's WOMAN MINER.
For 10 Years Has Been Husbands
"Pardner' in Placer Fields.

For 10 Years Has Been Husbands
"Pardner" in Placer Fields.
One of the few expert women pip
ers' of the West is Mrs NJ. e. Moore.
At present she is the ''pardner" Of her
husband in the working Of the Judson
placer mines, in the Southern Oregon
surface gold fields, near Grants pass.
Every day she is at her post, taking
her stand beside the big monitor long
before the sun seares away the shad-
ows from the canons or the frost from
the manzanita bushes, and there she
remains through the shift, directing
the shaft which the monitor hurls
against the gravel bank, tearing noun
tains away and rohbing them Of their
gold.
Few men pipers proud Of their long
years in western placer fields, are more
dexterous with the giant nozzle than
is Mrs. Moore. She knows just how
to swerve the deiector to drive an
avalanche Of boulders down the gulch,
or how to bring that long, deep growl
to the monster as it cuts deep into
the haze of the red-clay bank till a
great slab Of thousand tons topples
and falls with crash from the noun
tain side.
Mrs. Moore has been her husbands
'pardner" in the mining business for
the past nineteen years, and she has
lived out Of doors nearly all Of the
time. She has mined in Colorado,
Montana, California and Oregon. She
has Travelled several thousand miles
by pack and burro, following the
mountain trails and the long line Of
prospectors into the new camps.
Healthy she says. 81 do not
know what it Is to be sick It is true
my face and hands are tanned by the
winds, heat and rains, and are not the
pretty pink-white that women like SO
well, but l know there are but few
women Of my age as rugged and
healthy as I. Yes. mining is the life
of me. My blood Is tinctured with
the gold fever. and I am doomed; but,
after all, there Is no life like 1t. The
genuine freedom OF the mountains, the
ozone Of the pines Is mine, all mine"

read you the synopsis of his information:
"'Louis de Cfameran was born at the
Chateau de Clameran, near Tarrascon.
He had an elder brother named Castor,
who, in consequence of an ARRAY in
which he had the misfortune to badly
wound two men, was compelled to fly the
country in 1872 CASTOR was an honest,
noble youth, universally beloved. Louis,
on the contrary, was wicked, desplca-
bic fellow, detested by all who knew
him.
"'Upon the death Of his father Louis
came to Paris, and in less than two
years had squandered not only his own
| patrimony, but also the share of his ex-

debt, Louis entered the army, but be-
haved so disgracefully that he was dis

sight of him; all we can discover is that

gambling resort, where he became noto-
rious for his scandalous conduct. Later
we find him again in Paris. lie was
in great poverty, and his associates were
among the most depraved classes. But
he suddenly heard of the return Of a
cousin who had made a fortune in Mex
leo; but being still a young man, and
accustomed to q very active life, he pur-
! chased, near Oloron, all iron foundry,
intending to spend the remainder of his
life in working it. Six months ago he
died in the arms Of Louis. His death
provided our De Clameran an immense
fortune
"Then," said Prosper, "from all this
I judge that NJ. de Clameran was very
poor when / met him for the first time
at M. Fauve's? And about that time
Layers arrived from the country? And
about a month after his appearance
Madeleine discarded meY"
"Well," exclaimed M. Vcrduret, Il am
glad you are beginning to understand the
state Of affairs"
He was interrupted by the entrance OF
a stranger, ''swelI' coachman, with
black whiskers. shining boots with fancy
tops, buff breeches, and yellow waist
coat with red and black stripes. After
cautiously looking around the room he
walked straight up to the table where NJ
Verduret sat.
"What was the news, Joseph Dubois!
said the stout man eagerly.
"Ah, governor, don't speak of it.!
