BROTHER TOM
00n ILFKED ROOFE was the

WM most correct man in Rockford.
He knew what was proper to
do, and he did 1t. His clothes were the
best fitting. his neckties the latest
shade, his collars the newest shape,
and his general get up sufficient to
charm special committee Of tailor's
dummies.
But his correctness was not con-
fined to his garments. 1t took phil
anthropic turn. it even became scien-
tlflc, and 1t aspired at all times to be
social.
Let Wilfred be sure that the vicar
and the Byfleet-Powneys Endorsed an
enterprise and he would subscribe a
guinea. Let him know the bishop was
coming to the annual meeting, and he
would give two, and mildly agitate for
a platform ticket.
In the same way with matters OF
learning. The University Extension
movement was going strong in Rock
ford. The movement was rather more
than respectable; Wilfred Joined the
local committee.
Social difficulties were not so easy to
surmount. Wilfred. Immediately on
coming into his aunt's great fortune,
had moved away from Stillmouth,
where his father kept the principal
grocery shop; but. to his distress, Still
mouth newspapers would occa sionally
get to Rockford bearing information
on the subject Of "Roofe's Noted
Blend" or "Roofes Famous Lard"
Still, things were progressing. He
had actually been invited to the Cat
ers dance, and that was a decided step
on; and, to crown all. he had danced
twice with Ethel Marsh. the prettiest
girl in Rockford and the daughter of
the only barOnet the town could boast.
| 1t was then that Wilfred's browning
ambition possessed him. Why not
take a decisive step? Why not. with
single bound, place himself on the
top rung Of the ladder of Rockford So
ciety? Ethel Marsh was not yet en-
gagged. Why should he not -?
1t was the day after the dance, and
Wilfred had dressed himself for his
afternoon constitutional He paused
for moment in his little parlor and
caller was announced.
"A gentleman to see you, sir. He
would not give his name"
SHOW him in' said Wilfred.
A moment later. the visitor entered.

CHAPTER XIX.

The first railway was opened In China
about 1877. and ran from Shanghai to
Fou-Tcheou. The Grand Transasiatic
followed very closely the Russian road
proposed in 1874 by Tashkend. Kouldja.
Kami, Ian Tcheou, Singan, and Shang
hal. This railway did not run through
the populous central provinces, which
can be compared to vast and humming
hives of bees. and extraordinarily pro-
life bees. As nearly as possible 1t forms
straight line to Sou-Tchcou before
curving of to Ian Tcheou; it reaches
cities by the branches it gives out to the
south and southeast.
Since we left Kothan. we have covered
a hundred and fifty kilometers in four
hours. 1t Is not a high rate Of speed,
but we cannot expect on this part of the
Transasiatic the same rate of travelling
we experienced on the Transcaspian
Either the Chinese engineers are not so
fast. or. thanks to their natural indo-
lence. the engine drivers imagine that
from thirty to forty miles an hour Is the
maximum that can be obtained on the
railways Of the Celestial Empire.
At o'clock in the afternoon we were
at another station, Mia. where General
Pevtsoff established a meteorological OBJ
servatory. Here we stopped only twenty
minutes. had time to lay in few
provisions at the bar. For whom they
were intended you can imagine.
The passengers we picked up were only
Chinese. men and women. There were
only a few for the first class and these
only went short journeys.
We had not started quarter of an
hour, when Ephrinel. with the serious
manner Of merchant intent on some
business, came up to me on the gang
way.

Quired In France and other journalistic
countries. Is this an advantage or other

home is the best everywhere.

place to-day. Ephrinell understood that
certain conventionalities must be COM

Yes" thought I, although they do
not read the Twentieth Century"
Meanwhile. different opinions were be-
ing exchanged on the gangways. Some
would rather travel with the millions
than carry a corpse along with them,
even though 1t was that Of first-class
mandarin. Others considered the carry
ing Of the treasure a danger to the pas
sengers. And that was the opinion OF

attack on Popof.
you ought to have told us about it,
sir-you ought to have told US about
it! Those millions are known to be In
the train. and they will tempt people to

Ephrnell looked at the matter, of course,
from a very practical point of view.
"There can be no doubt that our risks
have been greatly increased by this treas
ure, and in case Of accident on account

sponsibility."
"Of course" said Miss Bluett; "and
IL they had not found the missing van
the company would have been in a seri-
Gus difficulty with China. Would 1t not,
Fulk?'
Exactly, Horatia."
Horatia and Fulk-nothing less! The
Anglo American couple were right, the
enormous loss would have had to be
borne by the Grand Transasiatic. for the
company must have known they were
carrying a treasure and not a corpse,
and thereby they were responsible.
As to the Caternas, the millions roll
ing behind did not seem to trouble them.
The only reflection they inspired was,
"Ah! Caroline. what a splendid theater
we might build with all that money!.
But the best thing was said by the
Rev. Nathaniel Morse, who had joined
the train at Kachgar.

Nothing could be truer, and this van,

der magazine that might blow up our

HOUSE PRoCEEDINGs-2lsT DAY.

Yesterday was another hard work
ing day in the House, no less than
thirty bills having been read the third
time and voted on favora bly,, thus be-

physician.

mary surgeons and dentists are per-

adopted authorizing the Commission

SCHEME WORKS ADMIRABLY
Clever officer Adopts Heroic Meas

jail
SCHEME WORKS ADMIRABLY

In order to raid Chinese lottery at
211 1-2 North San Pedro street and cap
ture the proprietor, 1t was necessary
for Detective Boyd to sacrifice his
beautiful flowing mustache.
Three days ago the detective ap-
peared at the police station minus the
pride Of his life." To all anxious in
quiries of his brother officers, the
"smooth" detective made reply that he
had not made the great sacrifice for
nothing, and would be able in a few
days, with his new disguise, to show
them a thing or two.
Last night when Detectives Boyd and
ingram marched into the station with
All Ching and Ching Lew and 1000 lot
terry tickets in their possession, the Sc
cret was out and the motive of the
great sacrifice became known.
All Ching and Ching Lew had long
been under the watchful eyes of the
two detectives, but the Cinnamon also
had their watchful eyes on the detec-
tives. Attempt after attempt had been
made by the police officers to land the
alleged lottery keepers behind prison
bars, but to no avail. At each attempt
they were spotted" by watchful
almond eyes. and an hour before they
reached the game the alleged proprie-
tors had disappeared.
At last the detective decided to make
the sacrifice and last night, in his new
disguise, he crept silently to the door
of the San Pedro street house and in
answer to his gentle and "unpoliconic"
rap the door was cautiously opened by
Ching Lew.
Too late, the Chinaman recognized
his arch enemy and gave the alarm Of
police. Detective Ingram followed
close in the wake of his partner and
Ching Lew and All Ching were ar
rested.

The CIipping Burenu

"HaVe you ever given consideration to
the work of a press clipping bureau ?''
says the Springfield (Mass.) Union in a
recent editorial. Nothing seems to es-
cape the quick eyes of those who read
the thousands of exchanges. If Spring
field or the Union appears in any pub
lication, now matter how obscure, the
article is clipped out and sent to this
newspaper. The last installment from
Burrelles agency contains clippings from
the Wichita (Kas) Eagle, Public Opinion
the Los Angeles (Cal) Times, the Chica-
go Tribune, the Ware River News, the
Milwaukee Sentinel, the Easthampton
News, the Davenport Qa.) Democrat, the
Milford Journal, the Pittsfeld Eagle, the
Newport (Vt) Standard, the Worcester
Gazette the Boston Globe. the Brooklyn
Eagle, the Chicago Inter- Ocean, the At
lanta Constitution, the Philadelphia
Press, the Turner's Falls Reporter and a
score of others. In each clipping the
word Springfield is underscored with blue
pencil
"When one considers the vast number
of exchanges read and that they are read
for hundreds of clients, who are inter-
ested In as many different things, 1t is
really remarkable that so many refer
ences to Springfield are discovered. When
there would be plenty of tired eyes in the
Burrele establishment. The clipping
bureau is relatively modern institution,

In the lower workings of the Samoan mine, the Chloride Gold mining com pany has opened up four inch streak of ore that shows considerable native and ruby silver. On the third level the ore recently opened up gave assay of four ounces gold, but contained but small amount of silver. Go the first level, in the north drift, a four inch streak of solid ore gave 3.15 ounces gold and 152 ounces silver, or about 1908 pc: ton. The ore streak is getting better and larger as the drift pro gresses. Since the installation of the new plant of machinery work has been rushed in the mine and great progre SIS is being made The new drills used in this property are a surprise to many, and it is proba ole that other mines will take them up. The management of this property is one of the best the Chloride country has ever had.
