the subject to the bitter end now that
the opportunity presented itself in
spite of the apparently unpropitious

She seemed overwhelmed with con-

Which goes to prove, | take it, that
though you cah-d me a hypocrite, you
still had doubts which troubled you. |
am delighted to know John Riigeway
was at least an object of so much con-
cern to you that you would undertake
this dangerous mission in order to
learn whether he was the guilty
wretch that Tiren pictured him, or
innocent of the charge"
1T was merely curiosity. sir-noth-
ing else | would have you know" but
her blushing cheeks belied the words
very plainly.
Just so, Miss Molie. And YOU re-
turn under the conviction thaS my
guilt is assured?"

Very true, but | had no idea she

You expect me to believe that

ruin me in your eyes while | have
power to prevent it."
Indeed"
Belle Stevens is the wife of nv
cousin Crockett Ridgeway, whom you

This intelligence caused her to
show signs of deep interest
You say you can prove ths?"
ASK him yourself the next time you

Some point is given to the demand
OF the Hungarian nationalists for an
increase in the Hungarian represen-
tstion in the consular and diplomatic
service of the dual empire by a late
incident which occurred in New York,
says the Youths Companion. A Hun.
garian who came to America some
years ago without having performed
his military service was summoned to
-eturn and serve his term of duty. He
finally wrote an angry and saucy let
ter. In which he asserted his indepen-
dence under American law, and at
tucked the Austrian military authori.
ties. the foreign minister, and finally
the emperor. The consul-general at
New York. either through carelessnss
or inability to read Hungarian, sent
this letter on the military authorities
with the formal and stereotyped I'm.
dorsement. Contents of memorial
agree with facts. and acceptance ia

In order to ascertain how often and
for what dollar is spent, a California
society is sending into circulation
hundred silver dollars, each fastened
to parchment tag. The person into
whose hands one of the dollars falls is
requested to write in blank spaces on
the tag the date. place and occasion
of the transfer of the coin to his pos
session. and then pass it on in the
course OF ordinary business. Ten
coins will be sent out by each of sew
erai trades and professions, bankers.
artisans, retailers, and SO on. 1t is
hoped that the coins will be returned
according to directions. with all the
blanks filled. to the projectors of the
scheme. and that they may draw
practically scientific" conclusions
about the habits of American purchas-
ers. In school compositions THE Au-
tobiography of Cent" used to be a
favorite subject, and those innocent
hcdons are no doubt the progentors
or these real travels of real dollars.

The Man on the Steps.

They were going to the matinee.
She was up in her boudoir putting on
finishing touches and he was sitting
impatiently on the front steps.

"just one minute more until find my
gloves"
Fifteen minutes passed.

another second. I've lost my pin"
Twenty minutes slipped by.

One moment. A button just jumped

Long silence. Then George calls

One danced around on a single leg,
another twisted himself up in knot

a third tried to crawl into the bushes,

Not particularly nice sight for

There was bitterness In his voice

Mollie was generous by nature-she
entertained peculiar relation to

why she should hate him, and yet

he was so brave, so noble.

Denver Police Protect Horses.

Denver-The police department went
tn the aid of the horses in Denver's Icy
streets Tuesday. A detachment Of po-
lice was sent out in the morning and
kept on duty all day to see that teams
we're not overloaded and that attempts
were not made by drivers to force their
teams up the sleeper streets. A police
man was kept all day on the Colfax
avenue hill ard he required drivers to
go around by Fourteenth avenue.
Horses could not hold their feet on the
steep hill. Policemen stopped teams in
every part Of the city that were over.

Shanks was eager enough to be in

his commander.
Hence he fell behind
This irritated the tire-eater intense

the led animal to follow as it pleased,
he was mingling oaths at the hard
luck of owning an inferior mount and
prayers that Colonel John might not
finish all of the highway rogues before
his animal brought his attendant on
the scene of action.
AS the soldier bore down on the
spot where the Granger carriage had
been waylaid, he endeavored to grasp
the full situation.
There was no time to be wasted.
He saw womans figure emerge

caught her brave voice as she de-

CROWD VIEWS
A near FIGHT
Rival Clothing Firms HaVa
Quarrel Over Some Real
Estate.

The increasing value Of Fillmore
street property caused a lively row
which the police were called upon to
quell yesterday noon. During the me-
lee one man pulled gun and another
swung crowbar, all to no purpose.
The exciting affair took place at 1920
Fillmore street, between Post and
Geary streets.
James Gibb, the well-known saloon
man, owned a piece of property which
in nte-earthquake times he had rent
ed from month to month to Frank
Bishop, a carpenter. The latter had
erected story and half frame build
ing to serve as shop. When the con-
f1agration moved the center Of retail
trade from Market and Third streets
to the western hills Bishop sublet his
shop to r. Leon and w. Hoff, two
drummers, who saw chance to turn a
dollar as retailers under the new con-
ditions
Meanwhile Gibb leased the ground
