CHAPTER v.

| - 1TO of the men walked close be
side the door, one of them bear
FL ing lantern. They conversed
in low tones and in language
which Beverly could not understand.
After awhile she found herself analyz-
ing the garb and manner Of the men.
She was saying to herself that here
were her first real specimens of Grau-
stark peasantry, and they were to
mark an ineffaceable spot in her mem
DRY. They were dark, strong faced men
Of medium height, with fierce black
eyes and long black hair. AS no two
were dressed alike, it was impossible
to recognize characteristic styles of at
tire Some were in the rude, baggy
costumes of the peasant as she had
imagined him; others were dressed in
the tight fitting but wdilapidated uni
forms of the so1diery, while several
were in clothes partly European and
partly oriental. There were hats and
fezzes and caps, some with feathers in
the bands, others without The man
nearest the coach wore the dirty gray
uniform Of an army officer, full of
holes and rents, while another strobe
along in a pair of baggy yellow trou-
sers and dusty London dinner jacket.
All in all, it was the motliest band Of
/ vagabonds she had ever seen. There
were at least ten or dozen in the par
| ty. While few carried swords, all
lugged the long rifles and crooked dag
| gers of the Tartars.
Aunt Fanny Beverly whispered.

SSH Don't call me Miss Bev'ly.
Now, just you pay 'tention to me, and
I'll tell you something queer Get my
revolver right away and don't let those
men see what you are doing" While
Aunt Fanny's trembling fingers went
in search of the firearm, Beverly OUT
lined the situation briefly, but explicit
~. The old woman was not slow to
understand. Her wits sharpened by
fear, she grasped Beverly's instruc-
tons with astonishing ayidity.
.Ye'y well, yo' highness,v she said,
with fine reverence, "Ah'll p'ocuah de

don mine me pullin' an haulin'

wonderful subterfuge as shield she
dug slyly into one of the bags and
pulled forth revolver. Under ordi-
nary circumstances she would have
been MORALLY afraid to touch it, but
not so in this emergency. Beverly
showed the weapon into the pocket Of
her gray travelling jacket.
II feel much better now, Aunt Fan

vast chuckle.
"Yaas, ma'am, indeed yo' highness,'

LINEMAN KILLED
BY ELECTRICITY
Telephone Man Is Struck Dead
While at Work at Bing-
ham junction.
WIND IS CAUSE OF SHOCK
ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE BLOWS
AGAINST TELEPHONE LINE.

John j. Dennis. lineman in the en-
ploy Of the Utah Independent Telephone
company. was electrocuted at II ;15 yester-
day morning while at work on the teie-
prone line at Bingham Junction
Dennis was at work on the reel letting the
wire out 10 the men who strung il along
the poles. A heavy wind was blow and
tho telephone wire came I'm contact with
a live electric wire adjacent to il. All
the men along the wire received a shock,
but the shock received by Dennis was
much stronger than that OF the other
men. because the large coil OF wire which
he held induced a much greater voltage.
The shock OF electricity killed him in
stantly. DR.. Robertson was called. but
could only verify the fact that the man
was dead.
The remains were removed to the under
taking parlors OF s. ID. Evans at Salt
Lake City. and are being prepared for
shipment 10 Dennis home in Trinidad,
Colo. The mother of Dennis is IA Salt
Lake. where she had been visiting her
son. and is almost overcome with grief.
She leaves today on her sad journey back

IMPROVING ITS CAR Lines
Traction Company Making Changes
on Several Routes-Warm Springs
Extension Finished.

The Utah Light a. Railway company yes
terday announced the completion of the
extension of its Warm Springs line as
Ia as the city gravel beds. The company
has taken two years contract to furnish
gravel TO the city, and yesterday delivered
its first load. The trains used for this
work consist of a new style electric loco
motive and three cars, each capable of
containing six cubic yards of gravel.
The construction gangs Of the Utah
double track the line on Eighth West
street, between First and Second South
streets, and will have the work COM
pleted some time during next week.
The single track for the entire length
OF the Jordan Bridge line from Second
South and Fifth West streets to the end
of the line has caused considerable incon-
Venlence to car crews and patrons. In
the event of a car being late at any point
on the line the entire schedule for that
line is disarranged for the day. This
stretch of double track on Eighth West
street will afford another meeting point
for the cars and will help the service
greatly
Labor gangs are engaged in baIIasting
the Murray line on State road, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth South streets. The
track is being raised fully foot between
these streets. The ballast used is broken
stone, which will cement and harden like
solid rock with the moisture of the COM
ing winter.
The old style fish plates are being re-
moved and continuous rail joints of the
latest construction are being substituted
in their stead
Work orders have been issued for the
double tracking of the Third street and
Sixth street lines in all points where
they are now single track. This work will
be commenced as soon as a supply Of
ties and rails that have been ordered
has been received. A shortage of labor
for which 81 a day is being paid, is also
being experienced at this time.
The tracks on one side Of the East Sec
ond South street line from Third East
u Sixth East street have been removed
for the purpose of locating the new
grades that are required by reason Of the
paving of that street. Preparations are
being made to relay the track with
heavier steel. preparatory TO paving the
street. The track will be ripped up as far
as Tenth East street on one side, and as
soon as this side is relaid in conformity
with the new grade the other side will
be similarly adjusted. Track laying will
be commenced Monday IL sufficient labor
can be secured. The concrete work will
fellow the laying Of the rails as rapidly
as possible. This line will be operated on
a single track basis for some time The
schedule has been badly disarranged by
reason of the fact that there are but few
meeting places for the cars, but II is
stated nothing better can be done until
this work is completed.

WOOL MARKET IS INACTIVE
No Contracts Being Made for Next
Years Clip-Money Stringency
Affects Trading.

According to Henry CQhn. wool buyer
OF Salt Lake. the eastern wool market is
unusually inactive at this time, and does
not respond to the prices that are being
paid here for that commodity. No Utah
wool is fer sale at this time.
No contracts are yet being made for
next years clip. and il is hard to predict
when a change will be noted i'm the mar
ket conditions.
Last year the manufacturers bought
large lines in the original packages at this
time OF year. Now IL is entirely differ
ent. The manufacturers are allowing the
dealers to carry the stocks, and they buy
as the wool is needed.
The tightness Of the money market has
tendency TO cause this TO a certain en-
tent. Last year money was plentiful. and
the credits Of the manufacturers were not
so closely inspected as they have been
during the present year. Rates OF inter
est were lower than at present. and the
manufacturers loaded up on wool
Money is now being largely used to
move the crops in the grain belts. caus-
ing a shortage. This stringency affects
the wool market more directly than any
other. In 1905 time loans could have been
had for per cent or less, while this year
the same class OF loans demands from g to
z per cent. The consequence is that
manufacturers are not borrowing TO buy
their stocks
