4 Astronomers who sought to signal
the inhabitants of Mars have been
beaten at their own game, according
to the police, by Professor" John r
Jones, who was arrested at the in
stance of Director Potter of the de
.partment of public safety as he was
in the act of telephoning to the Angel
Gabriel for advice on how to restore
to a client the regards which his lady
love had transferred to another.
Jones device for communicating
with Gabriel was queer apparatus in
the third story, consisting of mazt
of Cords bells, nets and receiver
which looked like tin funnel.
The alleged imposter was taken
into custody by Special Policeman
Moriarity and Peterson, who went TIC
Jones in disguise and had their past
and future revealed through the aid

After Moriarity laid down $14 Jones
consulted his new tangled telephone

Moriarity to do: go home, take 8
pistol, stand in the back yard at mid
night, and fire two shots. one toward
Germantown, the other toward
League island. Then put your fin

Continued.

He was at the same time thinking
how this new turn Of affairs suited his
own line of action, in a very delicate
situation. Fortunately he had told nc
one but Harriet of his own discovery,
1t now seemed as if nothing could fall
out better. OF course the girl would
be found Immediately probably
through his own agency; he would be
the benefactor; that would create a
bond Of gratitude and friendship.
1T may be true" he repeated. What
kind Of man was this Mr.. Capel, or
.WiIloughby, if that was his name2"
"a a tall man who had once been
handsome and was still good-looking;
about fifty-six years Of age; with
aquiliDe features and eyes very clear
and keen; he used to dye his hair,
which was brown"
James Rolfe rang bell. One of the
clerks came in.
s'Will you tell this gentleman" he
said, what sort of man to look at was
Captain Willoughby- know-the
man who came once quarter to draw
his money!"
The clerk described him almost in the
same words as those used by Tom.
"The description corresponds" said
the lawyer, with the astuteness of his
profession, which never fails to per-
ceiye that things which are equal to
the same thing are equal to each other,
and that two and two make four. Il
remember him quite well, and rec
ognize in your description the man
who used to come here for his money.
But wanted the confederation of a
second witness. Upon my word, Tom,
I begin to think you must be right.
Remember that we could find no rela-
tons to Mr.. Capel; and when l adver-
tised for the heirs of Captain Henry
Willoughby, we got. no answer, be-
cause, as we know pretty well, his
own family have long since cut him
off. I believe, Tom, that you are right.
In that case-lucky dogl-the Inherit
ance will be yours after all"
"Katharine's, you mean"
''The same thing, my dear boy, in
spite Of the Married Women's Poverty
Act; just the same thing. Well, I'd
ask you home, but Harriet, who is a
woman of a highly sensitive nature
she used to see your ghost at night
when you were first reported as killed
has become so touched with thankful
ness at your safety that / dc not think
it would be wise to bring you home
without first preparing her" He

of the house in Russell square. hope
you approve?"
"Oh, yes! Why not? Somebody must
live there, and why not you? Besides,
it is not my property"
'Well, Tom, we don't know vet. Be
sides, you gave me power of attorney,
and Of course have been administer
ing the estate. But should not like
to do anything without your knowledge
and approval"
Oh, James! and the cellar of winel

Swiss hotel keepers are trying to
arrange a ten per cent. scale of tips.
They complain that the scale of gra-

well and good; but if they wish to

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, August 8.
Receipts of cattle here last week
We're fairly liberal but only few of
them were choice and trade was dull
on common stuff. Good beef steers
were steady with preceding week and
in strong demand. Some fancy corn
feds from Eastern Colorado were de-
livered to packers here at So so the
high price paid here this year. Choice
North Park steers brought S475 the
high price for grass steers last week,
but they were of good quality and
most of the fair to good kinds sold at
than week ago. Cows were plenti
full but most of them of the half fat
grassy kind for which the demand
from packers is light. Some choice
North Park cows brought $3,40 but
most of the grass stuff went at 81 Is
to So 80 and slow at that, Packers
still complain that the grass cows are
killing out badly and unless they are
fat the demand is light. Good cows
are called pretty close to steady with a
week ago but all others from Is to 81
cents lower. Bulls and veais weak
but little change in quotations from
fast report. There is considerable
inquiry developing for heavy dehorned
feeders of good flesh but few here and
very little trading was done last week
Bulk of the stnff offered was of the
light stocker order and trade on this
class of steers is slow. Good selected
feeders are about steady with week
ago but common kinds are fully a
quarter lower and in extreme cases the
decline amounts TO even more than
this. Indications point to an excel
lenta trade in good feeding steers on
this market in the near future as deal =

FROM ALL INDICATIONS the
present season is one of the most pros.
porous that the farmers and business
men of Colorado have experienced in
years. From every county in the
state comes reports of abundant crops.
The fruit yield will probably be the
heaviest in the history of the state,
while the same will hold good of the
grain in the grain growing sections
The sugar beet acreage is much larger
than it has been in the past and the
predictions point to top prices on that
commodity. The ranges are in ex-
cellent shape and the stock raisers over
the state report that stock could not
possibly be in better condition. In
fact the state is experiencing tide of
prosperiety in all lines of business
that is unprecedented in its history
and the greatness of Colorado's re.
sources were never better exemplitied
than at the present time.

ONE OF THE dramatic railroad
probabilities of this country which is
just now causing great deal of com
ment throughout the world is the es-
tablishing of through railroad service
between North and South America
From New York to Buenos Ayers in a
Pullman sleeper is regarded by many
as one of the sure things, and some of
those who have given the matter much
thought. predict a through service
between Alaska and Patagonia One
of the principal difficulties to be en-
countered in this great Pan American
railroad enterprise will be the varying
attitudes, ranging all the way from
sea level to several thousands of feet
above. This does not appeal to the
average individual as feasible, but il
is no less so than was the Union Pa
cific project in its day. The American
idea that some things are improbable
bat that nothing is impossible holds
good in this gigantic scheme and there
is little doubt that the great railroad
will sooner or later be carried to com
pletiOn.
