For one" she corrected, in a quick
upflash of loyalty for her kin.
The secretary shifted his gaze from
the mountains to the maiden and
smiled. She was exceedingly good to
look upon-high-b queenly and
just now with the fine fire of enthu-
siasm to quicken her pulses and to
send the rare flush to neck and cheek.
Jastrow, the cold-eyed, the business
automaton set to go off with a click at
Mr. Somerville Darrah's touch, had
ambitions not automatic. Some day
he meant to put the world of business
under foot as a conqueror, standing
triumphant on the apex of that pyra-
mid of success which the Mr.. Somer-
vile Darrahs were so successfully up
rearing. When that day should come,

Miss Carteret would fill the require

But this was a divagation, and he
pulled himself back TO the askings of
the moment, agreeing with her again
without reference to his private con-
victions

amended. I'VE mean to have it that
way, though an unprejudiced onlooker
might be foolish enough to say that

But Miss Carteret was in a contra
dlctory mood. Moreover, she was a
woman, and the way to a woman's
confidence does not lie through the
neutral country of easy compliance.

FINEST TROUT IN THE WORLD
Found In Small Stream In the High
Sierras, Says Expert.

The finest trout in the world, says
DR.. Barton w. Evermann of the bu-
reau of fisheries, is to be found in
little stream of the high Sierras in
southern California called Volcano
creek. The trout is named the golden
trout" and in beauty of coloring
gameness and delicacy of flavor it has
no equal.
So far as is known, 1t exists only
in this stream, which is about 20
miles in length. President Roosevelt
recently called attention of the bureau
of fisheries to this unique specimen,
with the result that DIR. Evermann was
sent to California 10 study its habits
and environment and to see whether
1t might not be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is in dan
ger of determination and that fishing
in the stream must be prohibited by
the state of California for three years
If the trout is to be saved. DR.. Ever.
mann has also recommended that the
bureau of fisheries undertake the ar
tifical propagation of the trout and
cooperate with the state of California
in transplating it to number or bar
rem streams that can be easily
reached.-National Geographic Maya

at City Park races. New Orleans, on
April S.
The year 1906 proved fatal to eight
jockeys. The latest to meet a violent
death was l.. Sewell, who rode LIGHT
mess, 100 to shot, at Aqueduct last
Friday. Before he took the mount
he told his friends he would not ride
again during the season. a few
minutes later he had sustained fatal
injuries.
Strange as 1t may seem, but few
riders who follow cross-country rae
ing ever meet death on the turf. Not
more than a half dozen have been
killed in the last ten years. Only two
timber-toppers are among those fatal
~ injured in 1905-1906. At Union
Park, st. Louis. June 10. 1905, Alec
Hector was killed .ihile going over
the jumps, and this year August Faus,
died from internal injuries received
at Coney Island.
Among the well known jockeys who
died a natural death this year we're
Marty Bergen, Patsey McCue. Eddie
Haley, Charley verplank Monkey
Charley.) Frank Bayless. Bud Knox
and Walter Lamb. Patsy McCue and
Mirty Bergen were at one time the
leading riders of this country. Ber-
gen for years rode ior Ed Corrigan.
while Patsey McCue for several sea-
sons rode with wonderful success on
the eastern tracks. He died penni-
less at Washington not long ago.
Any number of riders have met with
accidents this year that caused them
to retire from the saddle temporarily,
and perhaps one or two died without
the fact being generally known.

Charles A. Towne.

.
Charles A. Towne. who left Mime
sofa politics to identify himself with
Tammany hall, was born in Michigan,
Nov. 81, 1858. He Is a graduate If
the University of Michigan. In 1890
he removed to Duluth and five years
later was elected to congress. He at
once attracted the attention Of con-
gress and the people by his oratory
and his advocacy Of free silver. He
left the republican convention In 1896
because of the gold standard plank.
The SAME year he was nominated by
the democrats and populists as their
candidate for congress, but was de-
feated. Three years later he was
again nominated by the fusionists, and
was again defeated. In 1900 the peo-
pies party national convention at
Sioux Falls nominated Mr.. Towne for
the vice presidency. and the national
convention Of the silver republicans
at Kansas City did likewise. Mr..
Towne declined both nominations.
Later in the same year he was ap-
pointed United States senator to fiji
out the unexpired term of Senator
Cushman X. Davis. Soon after his
tern, in the senate expired Mr.. Towne
removed to New York city, where he
has since taken an active part in
democratic politics.
