Which he could feast the lady for love of
whom he had before Toasted countless
men. made him think: and. afflicted be-
yond measure. he revi.ed his luck, like a
man out Of his senses, running this way
and that. finding neither money nor a
thing that might be pawned.
When 1t was already late and he was
eager to honor the fair lady with some
thing at least, and unwilling to ask OF any
one, even his own father. he happened to
catch sight of his good falcon upon its
perch.
And so. having nothing else to turn to.
he took it. and, finding 1t plump, he de-
cided that 1t was worthy food for such
a lady. Therefore. without more thought,
he wrung Its neck and had his maid-ser-
want dress 1t and put it before the fire and
roast 1t carefully; and having spread the
table with white cloths, Of which he still
had a few. he returned gayly to the lady
In the garden and said that such breakfast
as he could furnish was ready.
The lady, with her companion, rose and
went TO the table, and, without knowing
what they We're eating, together with Fed
ergo who served them faithfully, they
ate up the poor falcon.
When they had risen from the table and
fingered awhile in pleasant conversation.
with him, it seemed to the lady time to
say what she had come for, SO with a
friendly manner toward FEDERICO, she be-
| gam:
FEDERICO. when you recall your past
life, ana my regard for my honor. which
perhaps you considered harshncss and
cruelty, 1 have no doubt that you must
wonder at my presumption when you hear
the principal reason why l come. But II
you had children. or had any. through
whom you might know the power of love
for them, l should be certain that you
would partially excuse me.
But although you AVE no child I. who
have one, cannot escape the laws which
| govern other mothers; and as 1 must yield
to their force, without any regard to my
pleasure or to the properties. l am con-
strained to ask Of you a gift which I know
is precious to you-and rightly SO, for
| your evil fortune has left you no other
delight, nc other diversion. no other COM
fort. This gift is your falcon. of which

From this iong-winded sentence 1T may
be gathered that Br. Winsor was some
wha of a promoter and inclined to clam
for himself the honore of discovering the
gas, although all the known facts are
against him. But be that as 1t may, he
was yet the first man to realize all the
economical possibilities of the new gas,
and in the public exhibitions he gave OF
the gas in the I.yceum theater in the years
of 1904 he proclaimed his gospel, and
showed to a wondering and at first uni
versally skept!cal and prejudiced city that
gas was less liable to be extinguished by
gusts of wind than candles: that there was
no smoke IL the illuminant was properly
handled; that 1t gave off no sparks. as DID
the wicks Of lamps and candles: that is far
transcend the old methods OF lighting
in brililancy; that 1t could be burned in
various forms. and that 1t could be con-
veyed from one part Of the house to an
.Other in tubes.

would surely see ..:at he had 4.
The boy, after hearing these offers many
times. said:
Mother dear. II you will get me Fede-
Tigo's falcon l believe l shall get we'll
soon"
When the lady heard this she remained
quiet for a While, and began to think what
she ought to do.
She knew that FEDERICO had long loved
her, and had never had from her a single
look. SO she said:
"How shall I send O. go 10 ask him for
this falcon, which, from what l hear. is
the best that over flew. and besides is all
that keeps him alive? And how can l be
SO heartless as to wish to take from a
man the last JOY that is left him."
And embarrassed by such thoughts, as
she was perfectly sure SHE would get it, If
she asked for 1t. she did not answer her
son, but was silent. :lot knowing what
to say.
At last, love of the child SO cverpow-
cred her that In order 10 satisfy him.. she
determined that. whatever came of 1t. she
would not send but would go herself for
the bird and bring il to him: and she an
swered him:
Cheer up, my boy. and make up your
MIND to get we'll, for i promise you that
the first thing l do tomorrow morning l
shall go for 1t and surely bring 1t to YOU
AAe CHIC, y III max InOORll, seemed
TO grow better the same day.
The next morning. accompanied by a
friend. the LADY went for a walk to Fede-
RIGGS cottage and asked for him. Because
the weather was not suitable for flying
his falcon he was in q field OF HIS, over
seeing certain tasks.
Hearing that Mistress Giovanni was at
the door asking for him he was greatly
astonished. and ran there joyfully. When
she saw him approach she rose to meet
him With a womallly charm OF manner,
and when Fe1erigo had courteous!y greet
ed her. she said:
Good morning, Federigo." and went on;
II have come TO make amends to you for
the harm you have received through me,
loving me more than you should have
done. and the compensation is .lis, that l
mean, with my companion here, to break
fast with you in friendly fashion this
morning."
FEDERICO hunahly answered her:
NJ lady. no harm do I remember ever
to have received through you. but rather
so much good that II l was ever of any
account it was through your worth and
through the love l bore YOU. And surely
your generous coming to me now is much
dearer TO me than it would be IL I had the
power TO spend again as much as 1 nave
spent in tie past. since you nave become

And 80 saying he received her shame
facedly into his house and from there
took her into the garden. and having no

Montana.

tlontana.
Butte. Mont, Jan. 8.-Active work
on the survey Of the extension Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee q St. Paul road
from Evarts, 8. D.. to Seattle, was
commenced in Montana yesterday,
when two surveying outfits left Butte
to work eastward.
A. g. Baker, chief engineer of the
division OF 400 miles between Butte
and Miles City, has assumed supervi-
sion of the work. Surveying crews
composed of Chicago engineers will be
sent westward within few days, when
the work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible, according to Mr.. Baker, who
says the Milwaukee trains will be in
Butte at least by 1908. It will take
four years to get the Milwaukee into
Seattle, according to the estimates
of Mr.. Baker.
In all probability the Milwaukee
will touch Lewiston, Idaho, crossing
the Bitter Root, in Montana, down
the Clearwater, thence to Lewiston,
or else pass north of Lewiston, with
q spur to that town, following the
general direction and the river courses
of the Northern Pacific.
1t is practically positive that Spo-
kane and Anaconda will not be on the
main line, through branch lines will
touch both points.
Salmon City, Grangeville and Thun-
der Mountain districts will all be
tapped by the Milwaukee.

OPINION BY ATKINSON
ON MAXIMUM RATE Law

Olympia, Jan. 3.-Attorney General
John d. Atkinson has rendered long
and carefully prepared opinion in re-
Spouse to request from the state rail-
road commission on the subject of the
maximum freight laws of the state.
THE attorney general holds that the
act of 1897 establishing maximum
freight rates on wheat, ETC., repealed
the prior maximum freight rate laws
of 1898 and that the 1905 act creating
the railroad commission has repealed
the maximum rate law of 1897.
Until the railroad commission for
mally announces maximum rates, the
attorney general says the maximum
rate established by the law Of 1897
may continue in force, but he does
not commit himself definitely to that
opinion.
The opinion is considered here to be
of far-reaching Importance. It will
be taken up at the meeting Of the rail
road commission which is expected to
be held here this week, when a course
of procedure to establish maximum
rates will be decided upon.

ny; J. L. Moore, foreign traffic agent

M. & ST. L. ANNUAL =.
MEETING is HELD

Stock holders of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Railroad company held their
annual meeting today in the office Of
Vicepresident and General Manager L.
F. Day, Metropolitan Life building, and
elected three directors. The directors
will at some future time meet for cleo
ton Of officers.
Directors reelected were: John E.
Searles Of New York, F. H. Davis Of
New York, who is treasurer Of the COM
pany, and L. F. Day Of Minneapolis,
who is general manager. .e g.
At the directors meeting the ques-
ton of dividend will be. acted upon,
when it is expected that the regular
semi-annual dividend Of 21a per cent
on preferred stock will be declared.
No dividends have been paid on COM
mon for some time. Owing to the thoro-
ness of the 1906 work it is not prob
able that q large appropriation will be
ordered for 1907. ! -
The company has added about
$1,O00,000 Of equipment in the year and
has re-laid about seventy miles with
new steel and the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge line is being ballasted with
gravel. If labor can be secured and
the good weather continues, the com
pany will have laid 100000 worth Of
new steel in 1906. This work is mainly
on the Des Moines 8 Fort Dodge, the
Western and the Pacific divisions, and
some on the Albert Lea division.
