to the home of Mr.. Hess's son

distant, and searched his house.
Here they found some more of

told the searching party that the
clothing had been brought over
the evening before by Mrs. James

After receiving the verdict of
the jury in the liquor case, the
case of the Com. vs.. John A.. Mel
lott, charged with assault on oath
of George 9. Mellott, was heard
by the court. This was trouble
arising between the two brothers
concerning the sale of the farm
of their father to George. The
prosecutor having failed to make
his case to the satisfaction of the
court, and the defendent having
been guilty of unbecoming con.
duct, both on the occasion of the
alleged assault and in the court,
the costs were imposed on the de.
fendant.
The Ayr township Road Flow
case was taken up. AS this is
the fourth attempt to settle this
matter in these courts, 1t is so
well known IN this county as not
to need any explanation here.
Miller S. Jones, who, by the
verdict returned this morning,
was found guilty OF selling liquor
to minors, was sentenced by the
&C urt TO an Imprisonment in the
county Jail for period of thirty
days, to pay fine of $4,000, and,
the costs of prosecution, and have
his license revoked.

EUSHI COLUMBO swung to and fro on the
gate. The early twilight of winter evening
fell fast. Everywhere the snow fallen,
made beauty of its own. Overhead the sky drifted
gray in the west a long crimson crested the
hills. Down the long the electric lights
flashed up one by one and hung like stars in ever
receding tiers

a small but perfect oval clear pale olive except
where extreme cold had tipped his nose and chin

oblique eyes of the Japanese, were keen and

1t looked white enough to
reach to the New Jerusa-

of that his religion being
curiously mixed, a kind of
vaudeville of heathen tradi-
tions, Sunday-school lessons
and drastic instructions from
the lady with the cap, who
had been bred a blue Presby-
terrain and did not view
Fushi as one of the elect.
The child trotted as fast as
his little yellow legs could
carry him, and though the
distance was not great he
painted slightly when he finally
paused in front of a tall apart

distinct disapproval. A great
resolution had carried him so

Knowing his way, he trotted

stairs. There was a number

and placing one plump finger

kept it there with sublime
faith in obtaining his ends.

Then the little Jap drew a long breath and

Thank you kindly, Fushi Columbo," said the
Colonel; but why this gift?"
Fushi regarded him with an immense unwinking
surprise 1T is the sword of my ancestors" he
said. Il bring it to you because you make the
Lady Kiku to cry. You hurt her feelings verra
much, Lord Colonel and Fushimi Columbus brings
you the sword
"Oh!" exclaimed the Colonel in sudden deep
enlightenment, Il make the Lady Kiku cry do |?
Well, don't think I'm sorry she cares. Does she
care very much, Fushi?"
The Oriental gazed at him in deep dis
pleasure. He pointed his chubby finger at

The Colonel had flash of fuller knowledge
"Oh, say, not really?" he exclaimed Why,
Fushi, you don't mean that I'm to kill myself
Is that for hara-kiri2"
Fushi nodded solemn1y.
The Colonel broke into a little ANNOYED laugh.
He flushed and stared at the sword
Fushi regarded him with patient endurance.

the Colonel.

drawl, for he could never conquer half and seven.

host.

Fushi knew everyone of
those weapons by heart;
but they were just beyond
his reach. He tried a chair
that was not high enough,
then he tried the table that
was still too low, and the
clock licked furiously-
Fushi felt sure, in his guilty
soul, that it was calling to
the lady with the cap. He
got down from the table and
faced defeat, his finger in
his mouth, his chubby legs
set well apart. Then with
great difficulty and some
noise he lifted the chair to

the lady with the fluffy
yellow curls," whom he
had named in his fanciful way
the Lady Kiku," which
signifies the Lady Chrysanthe-
mum; and he abhorred the
lady with the cap" her
mother, who had discovered
Fushi in unguarded moments
when the little Oriental fell
from grace and ate the mince-
meat.
AS there were only two in
Fushi's horizon, the lady of
the curls and the lady of the
cap. his creed was simple. At
least there had been only two
until the week before. Since
then the soul of Fushi Col
umbo had been in deep
waters and that winter even
ing found him graphing with
a big resolution. Outwardly,
however, his face was calm,
smooth and even smiling, but
the oblique eyes glittered
with watchfulness as he swung
on the gate.
After awhile his patience
was rewarded by the appear
ance OF a tall man with his
greatcoat buttoned to his
chin and his hat low over his
brows. He looked up at the
house as he passed, but took
no heed of the chubby figure
hanging on the gate.
Fushi watched him, and his
almond eyes narrowed. Then,
when the mans figure dis
appeared in the snowy dis
tance, he left the gate and
climbing the steps opened
the front door softly. The

What in the name of all
the powers has brought you
here?"
Fushi looked up-he had
to bend his head back to do
it-and drew a deep sigh.
He admired height, and the
six feet of manhood in front
of him snote his soul with
envy. Il have come to see

nounced.
The Lord Colonel is
honored," said Colonel En-
ton, a quizzical expression
in his gray eyes. Walk
in, Fushi, and make your
self at home. l thought all
you people had finally cut
my acquaintance.
The little Oriental walked
slowly into the room and
stood surveying it with
oblique eyes.
Colonel Enton gravely
rendered a chair to his
visitor and took one him
self. A sudden hope stirred
in his bosom. Have YOU
message for me, Fushi?"
he asked.
Fushi gravely inclined his
head and unbuttoning his
overcoat drew out a short
cruel japanese sword, while
his host looked on in in
tense bewilderment. Then
he walked up to the table
in front of the American
and laid the sword upon it,
bowing across at him like a
little figure on a teapot.

R. B. Rice. the city's civil engin.

a professional trip to the old Fort
Sumner reservation in Guadalupe
County, where under his immediate
direction graders are at work on the
construction of an irrigating ditch
twelve feet wide at the bottom of the
channel, says the Las Vegas Optic.
1t begins a short distance above the
big bridge at Sunnyside, New Mexico,
and runs down on the east side of the
Pecos River nine miles and can be ex-
tended almost to any desired length.
The land which will be benefited by
the building of this irrigation system
is owned by the persons constructing
the big ditch and is a fine body of
land with a gentle slope that will nat
urally carry the water to points
needed.
There are over 1000 acres which
will be placed on the market short.
