Colonel Parker went to San Francisco
to meet them. He was at the time a
member of Governor Rogers military
staff. While in San Francisco a news
paper reporter called on the colonel
for an interview. and in response 20
his request he gave the news man his
photograph and a scrap book con-
tanning many interesting clippings of
stories of early days III this state. The
news gatherer carried the book away
and all efforts of the colonel to locate
him proved unsuccessful. He had
given up the thought of ever seeing
the book again, when yesterday he re-
ceived a large package by mail from
San Francisco. When he opened it he
was greatly surprised to find his val
liable document. The colonel says that
in the future when reporters want to
use his book they will have to peruse
it in his presence.

MAY COLLECT IN COUNTY.
Decision Of Supreme Court Applies
Only to incorporated Cities.

The recent decision of the supreme
court of the state of Washington in
regard to the invalidity of the poll tax
law, applies only to Incorporated cities.
This decision was given in an appeal
taken by C. W. Ide from a decision In
Jefferson county, where he was fined
for a violation of the city ordinance
of Port Townsend in refusing to pay
his poll tax of 81. The supreme court
held the city ordinance unconstitu-
tional.
Judge Campbell, prosecuting attor-
ney of Pierce county, says the decision
applies to incorporated cities. The
law is still operative outside of incor-
porated cities.

was not surprising since Mrs TiilinE-

At the foot of the mountain he had

At the foot of the mountain he had
supper at the matched hut of an In
dian peon. Darkness was descending
but the moon would shine. and he push
ed on.
The trail became narrow track,
chiseled from the rocks. along the
mountain side. The bottom OF the gorge
was sheer thousand feet below
Presently he came to small cave
followed out OF the face OF the cliff
The moon had not yet risen. and the
canyon below was pitch dark. and be
decided 10 stay there until morning.
He lay down to rest, with his head
on the saddle and the donkey crouched
against the farther wall. and went TO
sleep The wind moaned down through
the mountain gap. The deep gorge be-
low was dark and silent until the
moon rose high enough to sift its sill
very rays into the depths.
Entering the cave he found some
fragments OF fagots left by some trav-
eler and started a blaze.
A peculiar sensation began to creep
over him. He felt as If he had been
magnetized. His nervous system al
of himself he was drawn to the edge
Of the precipice. A thousand feet be-
low he could see the moons beams
reflected in the waters of winding
stream Demons of the depths seemed
to have clutched him with their invisi-
BILE claws and were making a mighty
effort to drag him down to death.
Paralyzed with the mystery of the
attraction which was dragging him to
death. he was about to give up the
struggle when he remembered that the
walls of the gorge below were heavily
charged with metal and that large
quantities of ore were piled in the
bottom Of the canyon. and II dawned
upon him that the great masses of met
al were acting as magnets.
With the peril made tangible. resist
ance revived. He clutched jutting
rock and stayed his slow advance over
the edge OF the precipice.
The burro's saddle and bride had
been left lying AT the entrance to the
cave. He reached the bride and de
tached the rein, tying one end of 1t
around his wrist and the other around
heavy bowlder He then took the
girth from the saddle and bound one of
his feet to the crag with it. Then only
did he feel safe, and after time ex-
haustion caused him to fall asleep.
The sun climbing over the rocky
heights opposite awakened him. He
started up. hut the rein and girth held
him and reminded him OF the perils OF
the night
The magpets seemed to have spent
themselves or to have lost their potency
In the morning sunlight he unbound
himself and continued his journey.

her on fire. We made our beds on the
sands that night and slept soundly
enough. and when morning came and
Granger still refused 10 answer our
halls we made up our minds that some
thing must be done before the day was
out
After two or three hours of watching
on our part and having seen no stir;
aboard one of the men climbed palm
tree and from a height OF fifty feet got
a fair view of the schooner's deck
Nothing was to be seen of Granger.
He might be watching US from the
galley or the cabin. but we must take
our chances of that.
1t was soon after noon that we all
got into the boat TO scull quietly down
on the anchored craft, each man being
armed with club. Had he appeared
we were prepared to put back at once,
but foot by foot we approached the
schooner without any alarm, and at
length we We're alongside. Five min
utes after getting aboard we found
him hanging by the neck in the cabin,
and the state of the body proved that
he had been dead for hours.
Who was Granger? He had paid a
round price to charter the vessel, and
yet he had come on a FOOLS errand.
He could never have been wrecked as
he stated, and there was no treasure
house. Why did he tell such yarn?
We knew that he had been sea cap
tain. and the only explanation of his
strange conduct was to believe that be
had gone treasure mad
We sailed the schooner back to Sin-
gapore and made report of the case
and were subjected to a long legal ex-
animation, but, though thirty years
have passed away, the identity Of that

but to write to her. He would then go
away for a few days, and when he re-
turned Miss Fox would have left the
house. So he took the precaution to
address her In disguised hand and
sent his note by mail. In it he spoke
Of their meeting in the dining room in
the dark and gave his reasons for not
wishing TO proceed further in the mat
ter. begging her to make an excuse TO
ind home somewhere else.
On taking his departure Tillinghast,
feeling that he had acted a sensible
part. bade his wife adieu with unusual
affection. which was returned with icy
coidness. Fortunately he had been In
tending to 90 to a distant city with
view to collecting debt Consequent
ly he had no secret from Mrs. Filling
hast as TO his journey. He was gone
several days. and when he returned he
expected that one of the first announce
fnents made TO him would be that Miss
Fox had taken her departure. No such
announcement was made Mr.. Filling
hast was troubled. Evidently his plan
to get rid OF the music teacher and
temptation had failed.
On going TO his office he found note
saying: Meet me In the dining room
tonight ut II midnight. 1 will explain
and depart" II was written In Miss
Fox's hand. but there was no signature.
Mr.. Tillinghnst was rather relieved at
the prospect OF getting rid OF so dan
gerous a woman and resolved 10 accept
the designation. On returning 10 the
house he was surprised to ind his wife
In tears. Size would not explain. and
Mr.. Tilllnghast felt very uneomfort-
able.
On retiring his wife would not kiss
him good night. and he went TO bis
room very much dIsgruntled. A few
minutes before II O'Clock he went into
the hail and listened. Then, noiseless as
a kitten. he went downstairs and into
the dining room He heard a sob, and,
going In its direction. his hand struck

there was passionate burst OF weep

interests, says there is considerable

of the approach OF spring in the vege-

something of Il boom in mining in the

opens, and that some important strikes
will be made before the summer is

there we saw Granger drive them into

command them to row for the shore.
We yelled and shouted and demanded

Well. there we were, eight of us,
