to me, and | made my way to him.
There were oars in the bottom of the
boat. D'ri helped me in, where | lag

Then he hauled in a rope and anchor,
and showed off. The boat, overrunning

thought of the limited peril of the
slide that was to be the punishment of
poor courage.
D'ri had a plausible theory of the
slide He said that if we had chung
to the sides of it to break our speed
we'd have gone down like a plummet
and shattered our bones on a rocky
shore. Coming fast, our bodies leaped
far into the air and fell to deep water
How long l lay there thinking, as l
rested, | have no satisfactory notion.
Louise and Louison came into my
thoughts, and plan Of rescue. A rush
of cavalry and reeking swords. a dash
for the boats, with a flying horse under
each fair lady, were in that moving
vision. But where should we find
them? for | knew not the name of that
country out of which we had come by
ways of darkness and peril The old
query came to me: If | had to choose

There was as much of the old doubt

them both and would die for either.
l opened my eyes at last, and, rising,
my hands upon the gunwales, could
dimly see the great shoulders of D'ri
swaying back and forth as he rowed.
The coming dawn had shot an arrow
into the great, black sphere of night,
cracking it from circumference to core,
and floods of light shortly came pour
ing in, sweeping down bridges of dark
ness, gates of gloom, and massy walls
of shadow. We were in the middle of
broad river-the St. Lawrence, we
knew, albeit the shores were unfa-
miliar to either of us. The sunlight
stuck in the ripples, and the breeze
famed them into flowing fire. The
morning lighted the green hills of my
native land with mighty splendor
A new life and great JOY came to me

D'ri pulled into a cove, and neither
could speak for little. He turned
looking out upon the river, and
brushed tear off his brown cheek

tone, as the bow hit the shore, "ain

AS the oars lay still, we could hear
in the far timber call of fife and

1t has been the contention of
many prominent citizens of the
United States that our Philippine
possessions were a white elephant
and would prove an expensive
luxury. This have been the case
with at least one of the Filipino
race, Francisco Mendoza, by name.
He was brought here some time ago
as a servant by one of the officers
at Fort Brown, and has worked in
that capacity for some of our citi-
zens outside the post. Mendoza
seems to have had an uncontroll-
able longing for the property of
other people. and as a consequence
has been in trouble more than once,
his last jamboree causing him to
spend several months i'll Jail.
MENDOZA IS cross between a emma
man and a Filipino, and shows his
Chinese blood very distinctly by
his slanting eyes and other mark
ed characteristic of the Chinaman.
This led him to be transported
back to the Philippines, and L. H.
Bates carried him to San Antonio,
where he will have MS way paid by
Uncle Sam back to the land of his
birth. There are several other
Filipinos here, all of whom seem
to be quiet, law abiding people.
Mr.. Bates left with his charge this
morning.

to be given in the Park hotel after his
formal election The members are quite
happy over the prospect of a big eat and

There is much legislation talked of that
enacted. The personnel of the assembled
wisdom compares very favorably with
former sessions Senator N. w. Rolf of
Washoe seems to be the main support of
the fusion members in that body, while
Senator T. l.. Oddie of Nye is listened
to with great confidence by the Republi-
cans. Hon. E. r. Dodge seems to have
the call on the Washoe delegation and is
at present the leader of the House. There
are indications of strong lobby being
in evidence little later in the session.
Hon. James F. Dennis, who has been
a prominent figure around legislative ses-
sions for many years, is here. At one
time he was the lobby assistant of the
late c. C. Wallace and has helped put
more laws on the statutes than almost
any other man. Mr. Dennis is now
prominent lawyer of Winnemucca and
says he is only here out of curiosity and
that he is completely out of politics.

he has bill or two up his sleeve to pull

Klondike and Goldfeld are all planted on
this tremendous mineral zone. How far
these specifications agree with the facts
will be known in due course, for pros
pecting has taken a very wide range,
which will be greatly widened next spring
and summer, when the conditions will be
more favorable
But the ore already opened is sufficient
to build two or three large towns, If they
only had the building materials and other
accessories to make the best use of the
mine products We are told that the Pa
cific Coast people are not as favorable to
the development of the Nevada desert as
the eastern people of the Rocky noun
tains, whence come much of the capital
and enterprise that have produced the re-
suits now Witnessed. 1t is very certain
that a railroad will be in Goldfeld next
spring; that telegraph and telephone lines
will meanwhile be supplied, and at least
five or six crushing mills provided 1t Is
a queer sort of town at present, but 1t
will shape itself as time goes on into
strong, welI-ordered community, with a
numerous crop of millionaires, and all
that goes with the class and the condi-
tions of rich and prosperous mining
