Car Robbers Captured.

Two cars Of merchandise were
broken into and robbed on the Sth
inst. at Gallinas. The stolen goods
consisted of dry goods, whiskey and
other goods, some of which has been
recovered, but the balance Is supposed
to be buried in the Gallinas noun.
tains. There were a number of men
in this robbery, five of whom have
been caught and placed in jail at Ala
mogordo for action In the United
States court and the preliminary trial
was set for last Monday before Uni
ted States Commissioner w. s. Shep'
herd.
Two of the robbers wer caught on
the spot by the section boss and
operator at Gallinas, and three were
captured by Ranger Dudley in the
Gallinas mountains.
Mr.. Dudley followed the trail Of
the robbers into the Gallinas noun
tains and captured three OF them. one
OF whom was heavily armed. There
is one thing about Ranger Dudley
in chasing outlaws and that Is ne has
had considerable experience and has
been associated with officers in cap
turing some or the worst outlaws that
9 operated in Oklahoma and In
dian. Territories. He Is absolutely
fearless, and we believe him to be
one Of the shrewdest detectives In the
southwest today.
The names OF the prisoners In jail
charged with breaking and robbins
the cars are: Fitxmorris, Hanley, Elk
o~niccious, Dyer and valicroux.

the dainty lace turnover collar on.
That set the visitor a-thinking.
She had brought that particular
sort of gift simply from desire to
take something that was out of the
ordinary. But if it really suggest
ed getting well and getting out,
why, there was much more subtlety
in the choice of gifts that might be
taken into account when dealing

SPIDER BUILDING A WEB.
Delicate Operation Always Performed
by the Female Insect.

Have you ever watched a spider
making its web? 1t is an interest
ing sight. Only the female does
the spinning and weaving.
First she makes scaffolding Of
strong lines, which spreads from
the center star-shaped, steadied by
guy ropes, fastened to various
points. Then the fine, spiral
threads, which catch the prey, are
wound round and round and stick
TO the framework by little knobs of
sticky fluid.
1t is remarkable how she directs
the thread. Holding it carefully by
one hind claw to keep it well away
from her body, she gives it a pull
each time, then fixes it to one Of the
frame lines to make sure of its firm
ness.
The male spider is seldom seen
in the daytime. The female lives
on the web. She has eight legs fit
red for walking on it. Each foot
is furnished with three claws, the
middle one being bent over at the
end, forming a long finger with
which she clings to the delicate web.
The outer claws are curved and
toothed like comb. Opposite the
claws are several stiff hairs which
are toothed like claws.
Young spiders are Matched from
eggs. They shed their skin as they
grow. The eggs of a spider are de-
posted in a ball-like sack and this
sack may be found under stones,
boards, logs, etc,
A spider never makes or mends
a web in bad weather. So if you
see one busy while the weather is
wet, you may know it will soon clear
and stay clear for several days.

She continued: Hold me close,
love; the pulsing Of your heart fills
me with delightful languor."
Dick sat in reyerential silence,
soft eyed and motionless; of sud-
den, said she: "Speak to me, dear. "
'Why should l disturb the limpid
happiness Of this moment with my
harsh voice?" he queried.
Harsh? Why, it is the sweet
est music in the world to me"
He sat, as men will do when in
the clutch of deep emotion, still,
quiet, and seemingly cold.
Awhile she pondered, then: ''Did
you ever think how little we knew
Of each other? l do not speak of
conventional knowledge; of things
that are patent to all the world; but
of those deep personalities that are
the real man and woman. Let us
confess in the elation of this sane
titled hour. l will give you all my
past; my wishes and hopes; desires
and actions. You, Dick, will bare to
me the secret recesses of your soul;
depths, heretofore concealed from all
but God"
He gazed upon her, an eloquent
fear glowing in his eyes. "Why res
urrect the buried past, dear Kate2'
he asked. Let us be happy in the
life to come, based upon our present
love and trust"
"Trust? Ny soon to be husband,
there can be but little trust in the

tons Of your immaturity. Is your
charity as large and comprehen-

"But, Kitty, they are divergent
cases. For you, some school girl
peccadiloes; for me, alas, a vastly
changing story"
Proceed said she. 'Unbear to
me your soul; your thoughts; your
actions"
'Be careful, my little one, and do
not shame me thus. AS long as life
shall last, a rare fidelity shall now

"And women are women" she an

He told his story honestly, and
with thoroughness, for he WAS a
truthful man, and as he proceeded
she sat apart, mantled in a Judi
cious gravity; her brow grew white :;
her cheeks red; and little shiyers
rippled over her. He finished. and.
standing and motionless, awaited the
sentence. For awhile she sat re-
gaining a decent composure, then,
with tremulous smile quivering
over her face, looked up.
"Kiss me, DEAR" she murmured.
He caught her up to him with
passion; kissing and caressing her
lips; her neck, her hair, and strain
ing the yielding form against his
body. With languorous eyes she
lay upon him, moist eyes and mo-
tionless, and then with gentle in
sistence, separated.
'Iisten now to me-" she told him,
and proceeded with her story. Plain
ly and without circumlocution she
spoke, just as he had done, and
waited on the verdict.
