Adams was rousing the track force
with the bawling shout of Every

brown eyes.
My debt to you was already very
great; owe you more now" he said.
But she gave him his quittance in a
whiplike retort.
And you will stand here talking
about it when every moment Is pre-
cious? Col" she commanded; and he
went.
So now we are to conceive the mad
dest activity leaping into being in full
view Of the watchers at the windows
OF the private car. Winton's chilled
and sodden army, welcoming any bat.
ue-cry Of action, flew to the work with
will. In twinkling the corded
piles OF cross-ties had melted to reap
pear in dollhouse balks bridging an
angle from the Utah embankment to
that Of the spur track In rear or the
blockading Rosemary. In briefest
time the hammermen were spiking the
rails on the rough-and-ready trestle,
and the Italians were bring up the
crossing-frogs.
But the Rajah, astute colonel of In
dustry, had not left himself defense
less. On the contrary, he had proyid-
ed for this precise contingency by
leaving McGrath's fireman In mechan.
ical command on the Rosemary. If
Winton should attempt to build
around the private car, the fireman
was to wait till the critical moment:
then he was to lessen the pressure on
the automatic air-brakes and let the
car drop back down the grade Just
far enough to block the new crossing.
So 1t came about that this mechan-
fcal lieutenant waited, laughing in his
sleeve, until he saw the Italians COM

judging the time to be fully ripe, he
ducked under the Rosemary to ''blsed"
the air-tank.
Winton heard the hiss of the escap-
ing air above all the industry clamor:
heard, and saw the car start backward.
Then he had fitting glimpse Of
man in grimy overclothes scrambling
terror-frenzied from beneath the Rose
mary. The thing done had been over
done. The fireman had "bled" the air
tank too freely, and the liberated car,
gathering momentum with every
wheel-turn, surged around the circling
spur track and shot out masterless
on the sleeper gradient of the main
line.
Now, for the occupants of a runa-
way car on a Rocky mountain line
there is death and naught else. Win

hand-brakes, il by good hap he should
even guess that there were any hand
brakes; saw the car, bounding and
lurching, keeping to the rails, may
hap, for some few miles below Ar
gentine, where 1t would crash head
long into the upward climbing Cay
Donate train, and all would end.
In unreasoning misery, he did the
only thing that offered: Ran blindly
down his own embankment, hoping
nothing but that he might have one
last glimpse of Virginia clinging to
the hand-rail before she should be lost
to him forever.
But as he ran a thought white-hot
from the furnace of despair fell into
his brain to set 1t ablaze with pur-
pose. Beyond the litter Of activities
the decapod was standing. empty Of
its crew. Bounding up into the cab.
he released the brake and sent the
great engine flying down the track Of
the new line.
In the measuring Of the first mile
the despair-born thought took shape
and form. If he could outpace the
runaway on the parallel line, stop the
decapod and dash across to the C. &
G. r. track ahead Of the Rosemary.
/ there was one chance in a million that
he might fling himself upon the car
in mid fight and alight with life

the c. & G. r. station Of TERRA

curves which he hoped might check
little the arrowlike fight Of the runa-

Twenty seconds later the telegraph
operator at the lonely little way sta
tion of TERRA Blanca saw a heroic
bit Of man-play. The upward-bound
Carbonate train was whistling in the
gorge below when out Of the snow
wreaths shrouded the new line big
engine shot down to stop with fire
grinding from the wheels. and man
dropped from the high cab to dash
across to the station platform.
At the same instant a runaway pas
senger car thundered out of the cam
yon above. The man crouched, flung
himself at 1T in passing, missed the
forward hand-rail, caught the rear,
was snatched from his feet and trailed
through the air like the thong of
whiplash, yet made good his hold and
clambered on.
This was all the operator saw, but
when he had snapped his key and run
out, he heard the shrill squeal Of the
brakes on the car and knew that John
Winton had not risked his life for
nothing.
And on board the Rosemary? Win.
ton, spent to the last breath, was lying
prone on the rallied platform, where
he had fallen when the last twist had
been given to the shrieking brakes,
his head in Miss Carteret's lap.
Run, Calvert! Run ahead and
stop-the-up-train!" he gasped: then
the light went out Of the gray eyes
and Virginia wept unaffectedly and
fell to dabbling his forehead with
handfuls of snow.

sary conyeniences when the rear of

this plan is easily covered with a
two section roof on the three-gable

roofs ever built. This style of roof
dates back to the earliest American
architecture. It originated in the
efforts of builders to add pleasing

built with the side to the road, but
this plan has been improved upon un-
til the completed house shows very
little resemblance to the original eff

While the front part of the house
is pleasing and the arrangement is
almost perfect, the rear section is
given up entirely to the dining-room,
kitchen and the accessories to these
rooms. While we all like to see !, a
pretty parlor and an attractive hall,

In the discovery of a seven thou send dollar shortage in the New Mex ico penitentiary fund, the feature in which Arizona is specially concerned is not so much the fact of shortage, or the size of it, as the fact emphasiz- ed by New Mexico papers, that the re- sponsibility cannot be placed entirely on one man. According to these pa pers, MT Bursum's reports and books have been repeatedly passed upon by committees and officials of supposed competency. A dishonest man may be found in office here and there in any country one who will grab the wallet when no one is looking.

TWO HEADQUARTERS.

It was agreed at the territorial dem ocratic convention held in Bisbee this week that there shouij be created in the territorial committee tho office of yice-chairman with a view of main taining two headquarters of the com mittes during the fall campaign. This was decided upon because of the rapid growth of the territory and the long distances necessary to be covered in communicating with the several corn. ties of the territory.
 Joe Dillon, of Prescott, was chosen as the chairman of the territorial committee and the selection was an excellent one, as MT. Dillon has been one of the active members of the committee and as secretary in the campaign of 1904 had charge of the detail work, proving himself to be man of rare judgment in political work. The matter of choosing the vice chairman of the territorial committee and naming the headquarters fol southern Arizona was left in the hands of MT. Dillon.
 The democratic campaign this fal promises to be one of the most az gressive aud active which has beer carried on in the territory for years because of the great necessity for get ting out the fullest possible vote against joint statehood.

FRONTIER TAKERS BUSY.

The frontier fake factories at No gales and Fl Paso are working over time on the wholly imaginary upris- ing in Mexico against the Diaz govern ment and the gringo. These fakers are moving large bodies of armed men"-unidentified and mysterious in northern Sonora. and limiting vauge- ly at renewal of rioting in Cananea, and fake newspapers are printing their miserable lies and predicting imme- diate "sanguinary conflict on the border"
 D There is no insurrection in Sonora. There will be no revolution in Mex ico while President Diaz lives. There may be sporadic disturbances in min ing camps, instigated by labor agita- tors, from the states, similar to the strike riot of last June in Cananea, but outbreaks of that sort will be sup pressed by the Mexican authorities without American intervention.
 Strike riots do not demonstrate the inability of a government to protect its own citizens and resident foreign CTS. If they did, Mexico would have as good reason for sending troops to San Francisco as the United States has for contemplating military inva sion of Sonora.
 The Mexican authorities were caught unprepared and unwarned at Cananes last June, but they soon got control of the situation, and they now have it well in hand. Repetition of the dis turbance will result painfully to agi. tators and rioters.
 Early reports of the Cananea riot, sent out by the lairs at Fl Paso and pest of American journalism, were monstrous inventions. The news" coming from the same sources now is of the same character. The arrest ot the twelve measly agitators at Doug las, Ariz., yesterday, shows how the so-called "revolutionists" will fare Fl Paso Times.
