ENLARGE THE SHELTERS.
A Million Dollars to be Spent by Den-
Yer at Once.

What undoubtedly is the most i'm
portant deal ever closed between AM
erican Smelling and Refining corpora
tion and another company has been
closed in Denver. Through this deal,
which represents an expenditure of
at least $l,o00,o00, the smelter trust
has contracted with the Huntingdon
Heberline company of New York. for
the installation of automatic, self-feed-
ing furnices for all its plants in Colo.
RADIO and several in other states. Five
smelters in Colorado will be dis
mantled and equipped with the i'm
proved apparatus. Probably not less
than year will be required for this
work. 1t will be carried on in such
way as not to seriously impair the
operation of the smelters under pres
ent methods.
When the new process furnaces
have been installed there will be a
tremendous increase in tho capacity
of the smelters. Under present condi-
tions, which necessitate the use of
many men " leeu lHe furnaces, ca
pacity of each smelter is necessarily
limited. With the automatic appara-
tus, additional furnices may be built
as seems necessary and the capacity
| of each plant greatly increased.
1t is stated that the nature of the
ores shipped to the smelters has made
| necessary some changes such as has
been determined upon. The excess OF
sulphide ores over the other kinds has
| presented problem difficult of solu-
ton. but with the new furnaces will
solve, according to experts who inves-
| tigated them in operation in Montana
before the deal was closed. Repre-
! sentatives of the eastern company ar
rived in Denver yesterday to super
wise the installation of the furnaces
| and the work will commence soon.

CHAPTER vi.

The Finding Of the Drum-Head Court.
AS he walked with springy step
down under the arching Ii en- trees.
over his shoulder.
1t gave him the most peculiar SEN
sation of his life to see that white
robed figure standing in the small
side door-way-a charm was upon him,
and no longer could. this man Of iron
nerves know the peace that had been
his of yore.
He had not forgotten the lay of the
land, and was able to reach the out
skirts of the old plantation. Render
ed doubly cautious by his experience
earlier in the night, John advanced
in the direction of the house.
To his surprise he saw campfire
glowing among the trees that grew SO
riotously along the edge CT the neglec-
ted drive. This had not been there
earlier in the night. and naturally
it aroused his curiosity.
Moving figures came between the
light and his eyes-evidently the men
were on the alert. Perhaps their pres
ence here had something to do with
the great war game of chess, where
regiments and army corps represen-
ted knights, rocks, and pawns.
No guard challenged his advance,
and he was enabled to fit from tree
to tree until close enough to note the
faded uniform of the Confederates
grouped about the fire.
They were a score in number, and
appeared to be simply waiting for
some superior officer. AS the night
was chilly, they had started this fire
in order to keep warm.
Certain words reached Johns ears
that caused him to turn and look in
the direction of the house.
To his surprise a light shone from
several of the windows nor was it
stationary, but appeared to move from
room to room. This aroused his Won
der and even suspicion flashed
through his mind, which was hardly
allowed to take shape, for there came
a Gathering of hoofs upon the drive
way and several mounted men rode
up to the fire.
AS the bright flames cast a ruddy
glow upon their faces John saw that
| one of them was a very dashing look
| ing officer, who impressed him as an
autocrat of the first order. This party
wore the uniform of a major-a new
uniform too. which was rarity at this
| date among the distressed followers
of the star and bars.
John could not advance upon the
house while parties were exploring the
interior, and might as well remain
there watching the enemy.
He speculated as to the reason Of
this invasion, but could arrive at no
conclusion beyond the thought that the
men were searching for valuableS in
the deserted mansion. If the Yankees
were soon to come into possession
there was little need of leaving any
thing for their plundering hands.
Even while John watched he saw
a man hasten up to the fire, and in
this worthy recognized the overseer
of Squire Granger.
The man showed evidence of excite
ment. He at once engaged the major
in conversation, and the latter's loud
voice attested to the fact that the
measure of intense interest had been
communicated to him.
(To be continued.)
The Glenwood post., 1906-09-22
CHAPTER lV-Continued.

An investigation showed them Just
how the Yankee had made his escape,
and as men admire daring, no matter
under what flag it may be found, the
planter could not help expressing his
surprise.
Colonel Emmett, you are bold
man, l am bound to confess, but this
does not seem to be one of your lucky
nights. Skaggs, block that hole up,
take the knife away from him, and then
he can spend the remainder of the
night in cursng his misfortune. To-
morrow, my dear sir, you shall see
Sherman's hosts"
With these consoling words the
planter withdrew, the door was lock-
ed and once more silence reigned
through the Granger house.
An hour passed.
Colonel John was not yet ready to
give up
He examined the wall, and found
that heavy plank had been placed
across the opening, so securely fasten-
ed at either end that no matter how
he strained and tugged he could not
bulge the barrier one inch.
This put an end to his calculations
in that direction. He sat down to
evolve some other plan, and while
thus engaged was startled to hear a
key rattle in the lock. Instantly he
conceived the idea of leaping upon his
visitor, and thus making his escape.
He crouched by the door, under which
he now saw ray of light-he held his
breath and gathered his energies for
sudden tiger-like leap,
Then the door swung back, but
John did not move. Instead of the
burly overseer, or the Confederate
officer, his eyes fell upon the figure of
the Georgia girl. and he heard her
peculiarly soft voice say, coldly:
"Silence on your life, barbarian. 1t
is only I-Mollie!"

MEXlCANS CELEBRATE INDE
PENDENCE.
Prophecies Of An Anti-Foreign Demon
stration Proved False.

Mexico City.-The national holiday
Mexico was observed in most en-
thusiastic manner here Sunday.
The decorations were on a more
elaborate scale than heretofore, and
large crowds were congregated in the
parks to listen to the band concerts,
and those who participated in the
grand civic parade numbered several
thousand. The parade was three hours
in passing given point where it was
reviewed by President Diaz, Vice
President Corral, members of the Sen
ate and Chamber of Deputies, the
diplomatic corps and prominent citi-
Zens.
A most noteworthy celebration oc.
Cured at San Luis Potosi, where one
of the speakers referred to President
Roosevelt and spoke of the binding
friendship existing between the two
countries, and then referred to the part
played by the president of the sister
republic in bringing about peace be-
tween Honduras, Guatemala and Sal
vador during their recent trouble.
Uuon concluding his speech the people
present burst out in mighty roar OF
''vivas" for Presidents Roosevelt and
Diaz
The demonstration was perhaps the
first in the history of the country made
in favor of a foreign country.
San Luis Potosi also had celebra-
ton, and the good feeling expressed is
considered one of the best indications
of the lack of any anti-foreign feeling

"And you have come to save me?'
Perhaps there was a trifle too much

though he had done mortal wrong
in standing there and going through
the ceremony. Nevertheless, to him
self he was saying:

Snake Charms Feline.

A day or two ago as H. F. Buxton
drove into his yard, he noticed that his
old pet cat was crouched down very
still in the yard, ~intently peering
through a picket fence. Finally he
went over to see what the trouble was,
and there he found that a big fiat-head-
ed adder was either "charmed' by or
was charming" the cat-just which
could not be decided.
With a carriage whip Mr.. Buxton
killed the reptile. He found that he

a new high water mark in some de-
