S small party to 90 over to
Windsor fol q few weeks during the
warm weather.
There were ten or twelve OF us, In
cludfng two chaperons, the old Earl OF
Hertford and the dowager Duchess OF
Kent. Henry might as we'll have sent
along a pair Of spaniels to act as chap
erons-it would have taken an army
to guard Mary alone-and to tell you
the truth our old chaperons needed
watching more than any Of us. 1t was
scandalous. Each Of them had touch
of gout, und when they made wry
faces it was a standing inquiry among
us whether they were leering at each
other or felt twinge-whether 1t was
their feet or their hearts that troubled
them.
Mary led them pretty life at all
times, even at home In the palace, and
I know they would rather have gone
Off with a pack Of imps than with US.
The inducement was that 1t gave them
better opportunities to be together, an
arrangement connived at by the queen.
I think, and they were satisfied. The
earl had wife, but he fancied the old
dowager and she fancied him, and
probably the wife fancied somebody
else, so they were oil happy. 1t great
ly amused the young people, you may
be sure, and Mary said, probably with
out telling the exact truth, that every
night she prayed God to pity and for
give their ugliness. One day the prin-
cess said she was becoming alarmed.
Their ugliness was SO intense she fear
ed It might be contagious and spread.
Then, with a most comical seriousness,
she added:
"N1on Dieu, Sir Edwin, what If I
should catch It? Master Charles would
not take me-"
mo danger Of that, my lady. He Is
too devoted to see anything but beauty
in you. no matter how much you might
change"
"Do you really think 30? He says
80 little about 1t that sometimes I al.
most doubt"
Therein she spoke the secret Of Bran
don's success with her, at least In the
beginning. for there is wonderful po-
tency In the stimulus Of healthy lit
tie doubt.
We had a delightful canter over to
Windsor. riding with Mary most Of
the way. I was not averse to this ar
rangement, as l not only relished Ma
rvs mirth and joyousness, which were
at their height. but hoped might give
my little Lady JaneSa twinge or two
Of jealousy. perchance to fertilize her
sentiments toward me.

ness that bubbled up the instant pres
sure was removed. She spoke Of little
but our last trip over this same road,
and, as we passed objects on the way,
told me of what Brandon had said at
this place and that. She laughed and
dimpled exquisitely In relating how
she had deliberately made opportuni-
ties for him to iatter her until at last
he smiled III her face and told her she
was the most beautiful creature liv-
Ing. but that. after all, beauty was as
beauty did,"
THAT made me angry" said she. "I

times was on the point Of dismiss,pG:

him plainly wherein did so much

the several witnesses who were on Fri

PORT ARTHUR.
WILL FORCE FALL OF CITY
Main Object of Recent Fierce Assaults,
to Destroy or Disable Rus
sian Fleet, Has Been
Accomplished.

London, Dec. 10.-Having destroyed
practically the entire Russian fleet at
Port Arthur, the Japanese now are pre- !
pairing to turn the great guns from 2O3-
Meter hill upon the last defenses Of the
fortress. The guns still will be directed
against the harbor until everything in
It is destroyed. Then will begin the bat
tering of the forts still in the hands Of
the Russians, with the view of reducing
the entire stronghold before the arrival
of the Russian second Pacific squadron.
1t is whispered that this fleet, which
is the present bugbear of Japan, will
turn back if the mikado's forces abso-
lutely destroy the Port Arthur feet and
capture the fortress itself.
Main Object Accomplished.
Toxic, Dec. 10.-In disabling the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur, precluding
the possibility of it's being able to re-
enforce the Russian second Pacific
squadron, the Japanese have accom-
plished the main object of the des-
perate assaults against the fortress.
which they have been making for the
| past three months. There is now a
strong probability that, while continu-
ing the siege, they will avoid losses of
the magnitude already attending their
efforts, and, instead of assaulting, will
rely on starving out the garrison until
| it is finally captured.
Should Have Made Fight.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 10.-The Rus
sian authorities evidently are not yet
satisfied as to the truth of the report
of the destruction of the remainder d
the Port Arthur squadron, as the cen.
sor has not yet permitted the publ.
cation of foreign reports to that eff,
feet. Nevertheless, these reports art
in the hands of the admiralty, where
they are considered as sounding tn,

the past week, and has entered into
negotiations which may lead to the
erection of a plant for the reduction

aud he expects to begin development
work on them very soon.

GOLD MOUNTAIN
TO SHIP CARLOAD

Transportation
The Big Ledge Recently Cut In the
CrOsScut Producing Some
High Grade Rock

Recent developments made on this
property bid fair TO make it not only
one of the best mines on the desert,
but will also make it the first dividend
payer in the Gold Mountain section.
The big ledge recently encountered
in the crosscut is showing up phenom
enonally, and though ithas penetrated
distance of twenty feet, no footwall
has yet appeared. Ore from this is
being extracted and sacked, and the
whole averages $l42 to the ton.
Some OF the sacked ore, however, as
says as high as 5000 il gold and $32
in silver, making handsome pro-
duct
A carload of sacked ore is now on
the dump ready for shipment, and
teams are expected to arrive today
or tomorrow to transport it to the
railroad 1t is the intention Of the
management to make shipments from
now on, but only the best will be
sent out because of the rate-approx-
imately $50 per toh-that is charged
for treating this grade of ore at the
smeters. AS soou as the railroad
arrives, however, reduction works
will be erected on the property and
the milling done at home. This latter
can be done at a cost not exceeding
: $40 per ton-quite saving

property and taking out good ore.

Rescue.

A meeting Of the board OF directors
of the Rescue company was held this
week at which the resignation OF w.

arrangements had about been con-

May. The flow OF water in the shaft
is decreasing very rapidly, and when
work begins it is believed that there
will not be enough to cause any great
Inconvenience.
