The voice broke off quiveringly,
and the man, still clinging to the post
leaned outward toward the woman.
His free, outstretched hand might
almost have touched her. Thoughts
of his own situation had for the pres
ent vanished.
But why hesitate longer" the
voice continued soon, "only to prolong

She crouched a little to make
spring But the man had crept away
from the post and he now laid hand
upon the woman's arm. She turned
quickly but made no cutlery.
Who are you that you lay your
hand upon me?' she asked in a low
but steady tone.

Then why do you restrain me?"

The woman did not answer. But
she allowed his arms to steal about
her and to lead her away from the
brink of the river. They crossed the
wharf back toward the city. Stop

ear that was not from the river Foot
steps, light, hesitating footsteps,
sounded from behind him, coming in

Just OFF the street, in a narrow alley
that reeked with the scent of garbage,
rested a large dry goods box, and In
the box crouched the figure of man
trying to shield himself from the fall
ing rain. The faint lights of the street
glimmered in front of him, but none
of the rays penetrated to his place OF
refuge. The man had been sitting
there for some time in silence and mo-
tionless. At last he muttered
There's nothing to it, why keep 1t
up?"
Then he relapsed into silence again
for another half hour. At the end OF
this time he muttered again:
mo; there's nothing to it-and why
keep it up?"
Silence again for moment, then:
whats to gain anyhow by keeping
up the fight? Nothing. Who's to care
If drop it? No one. There'n be an
end to everything. All will be blank,
no feeling either good or bad, no more
misery, no cold or hunger, nothing, abb
solutely nothing - it's pleasant to
think that there will be nothing to
feel. Maybe there's soul. II so, 1t
will go darling here and there through
space like the pollen sheath of grass
stalks in a varying breeze"
He fell into silence once more and
listened to the patter of the rain on
the top of his box while his thoughts
ran over and over the same line Of
reasoning,
Yes I'll do it." He caught the
edge of the box to pull himself up
from his crouching position. 1T will
be very easy thing to do, much
easier than to hold on another twenty
four hours. Yet there's something
that tugs at my determination some
how. But 1t is off declare 1t to be
off now"
He crept out Of the box and turned
In the direction of the North river.
The rain beat upon his head, but he
seemed to care no longer for that. He
had thrust his hands into his pockets
and his shoulders had dropped forward
as IL he carried a weight on his back.
He walked slowly, sometimes stop
ping still for an instant, as though
he still argued with himself.
It was more than half mile to the
North river at the point which he
sought, an abandoned portion of a
rotting old wharf There were nc
nearby lights, and the place was
murky and dismal. The surroundings
suited the mood of the man and en-
couraged his determination. He con
tinued on across the planking which
was curled and followed and twisted
from the contending forces of the
dampness from below and the sun
shine of the day from above. DC
casionally a weak board gave way
lust a little beneath his feet, and in
voluntarily he sprang forward to
sounder part of the flooring. Reach
ing the edge he leaned against piece
of piling which extended above the
wharf, and looked down toward thu
waters. He could not see the line
whore they played against the tim
bers of the wharf, but he knew tina
it was just four feet down at THU
point. No sound came to his ear'
above the tapping of the waves
against the timbers for some time
| for the rain had almost ceased
though no stars were visible over
head.

for soon he was going to put into exc.

to do. But presently the course OF
the intruder swerved a little and
led toward the edge Of the wharf sew

footsteps were far too light for those
of man--they were evidently being
made by woman or child. But
why should woman or a child come
here at this hour? The footsteps
halted at the edge of the planking,
and silence again reigned for few
moments. Then sob broke from the
form that had stopped there, and a
woman's voice murmured:

From the Pueblo (Gol.} Chieftain.
. Colorado as yet shows no sign of exhaus-
ton of her mineral fields Certain areas, 1t
is true have been thoroughly prospected on
the surface, and 1t would be folly to look
for new claims in Leadville, Cripple Creek
or the region lying west and northwest OF
Denver. But In such counties as our own
neighbors Custer and Chaffee. and others
more remote, such as Gunnison, Saguache.
Hinsdale and others, there is abundant op-
portunfty for the careful, Industrious and
persistent prospector, as well as for the
mining man with capital and determine
ton, to equal or even to surpass any of the
successes that have placed Colorado at the
head of the successful mining states.
Colorado's phenomenal progress along
other lines. and her accomplishments In
agriculture, fruit growing, manufacturing
and otner industries, should not lead any
one at home or abroad, to overlook the
surprising greatness OF this mining state,
which is superior TO all other states, terri
tories or foreign counties. whether we con-
slider the richness and the variety of its
mineral resources, or the advantages of the
conditions under which prospecting and
mining are carried on.

The Gypsy Moth.
the New York Evening Pest

From the New York Evening Pest
The gypsy and brown-tail moths ars
likely, If present indications are trust
worthy, TO become some thing more than
unhappy far-of things to the people of
this state and city. The spread of these
pests, originally confined to a very small
area, has become so rapid that hardly @
day passes without the addition of one or
more towns TO the infected list And the
worst fears to the agency of the auto
mobile in the dissemination of these IN
sects are confirmed. Indeed, a curious par
allelism is found between the horsepower
of the motor cars in common and the
rate of spread. The days run of the au-
tomobilist represents exactly the radius Of
the danger zone. Aside from the alarm
ingly increased spread. this summer is
markable for the extensive of insect
parasites against the moths. Professor
Kirkland, who IS IN charge of the gypsy
moth work, is receiving shipments Of
European fly which preys on the moth The
native enemies of the brown-tatl are also
being sedulou.ly encouraged. DR.. l. o.
Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology
in the Department of Agriculture, is still
abroad on the hunt for other insects that
seem TO promise help. Thus far the ma
tional government has aided pitifuily affiict-
ed Massachusetts only by scientific advice,
but should the pests spread through the
eastern states generally. the renewed APP
peals for appropriation from Congress
will have a better chance of success.

twenty works for their benefit, including
TRANSACTIONS of the holy prayer books treat
Use of the Jewish religion and textbook of
Hebrew grammar. He also wrote a large
number of prayers in Hebrew, English and
Marathi for special occasions, and delivered
numerous sermons and lectures to his core
ligionists on scriptural, religious and moral
subjects. He was contributor to the Jew
ish Encyclopedia and assisted the Marathi
translation committee of the British and
Foreign Bible Society in the correction of
their Marathi version of the Pentateuch. By
dint of hard study he was an excellent He
braist and Talmudic scholar, besides being
familiar with Arabic, Chaldaic and Syriac.

Vienna.-This city has over 1000 Jewish
pauper refugees from Russia on it's hands,
unloaded by the Hungarian authorities, who
will not tolerate the invasion for a moment,
compelling the state railways to carry the
poor people beyond the frontiers. There are
about half as many men as women, and
three times as many children. All look ema-
ciated and scared, but the women seem to
be the worst off. They hail from Odessa,
Warsaw and various smaller towns.
