1T is a dreadful blow; very sad
thing-poor Mariei If / could only

When the beefsteak came his app
tite was gene. He only ate a few
morsels, drank glass of wine, dressed
himself, and started for his late
brothers house.
THE place looks just the same as
ever" he muttered, looking about
him. This is the way, believe"
He had inquired the way from the
waiter, and now turned into the street
pointed out to him.
The streets were unusually full of
life; whole rows of dark evergreen
trees were leaning up against the
houses, and were being bargained for
by old women and rough-looking men.

the streets, and blocking up the mar

Their carts were standing in a long
row on the bridge, and here and there
a peasant, who was already return

through the crowd.
The old gentleman looked on at all

Katie, She Splendidl" This last word
escaped his lips suddenly.
An elegant coupe had stopped be-
fore shop, and iiveried servant was
walking up and down. The old gen.
eral had no eyes for anything but
the magnificent horses. So he did not
perceive that young girl passed him
qickly. When he pursued his way
he noticed before him dainty head
set on slender neck, which lowered
up above all the thick heads of the
peasant crowd, in their bright hand
kerchiefs. The graceful, black-robed
figure which owned the head turned
aside from the throng, picked her way
between horses and men, crossed the
bridge, and entered the quiet street
which opened off from it.
The old gentleman followed her.
Can it be possible?" he said to him.

She was already far ahead of him;
he saw her disappear in house in
front of him, and at once seized a
Westenberg gamin by the arm.
Boy, where does the Frau Majorin
Won Tollen live?"
The boy pointed to that very house.

putting off the evil day"
The old gentleman had spoken in
the heat of his anger, and then he felt
sorry when he saw his sister-in-law'
tears.
We'll, we will not talk of It,
Marie" he said gently. Il will help
you all l can; my pension is pretty
large. But you must not remain idle
yourselves, children, either. / tell
you, work is a blessing of God, real
blessing of God. But now" he took
out his watch-'I am going to see
Lora.''
Frau Won Tollen dried her eyes.
You do not know, William, how
dreadful it was about Rudolph, and
you don't know how a mother clings
to her child"
Not from personal experience, it
is true he replied good-humoredly,
but can imagine it, But a mothers
heart should not cling to a handsome
scoundrel like that alone, but should
think of the other children, who have
the i'll luck besides to be girls, poor
girls. Well, don't mind me, Marie; I
suppose you can't help it. The wilder
and more good-for-nothing a boy is,
the forder you are of him. Katie
didn't hear me? WE'LL thank Heaven
for that. She fed before the sound
of my voice. Good-by, Marie; auf

of a recent discovery of S1O0 in an OLD

ploye of the Fox River Paper company,
Saturday lost part of her right hand
and sustained severe wounds in the

CHAPTER XIX,

In few minutes the general
reached the house pointed out to him,
and rang the bell, opening the door as
he did So Thereupon there appeared
from the kitchen a small woman who,
on account of the cold, had a black
woollen shawl over her head, and was
hastily drying her hands on the big
blue linen apron that she wore. The
old gentleman had some difficulty in
recognizing his sister-in-law in this
dress
Uncle! Is it your" she cried, grasp
ing his hand.
"Aly poor Marie" he replied gently,
warmly returning her pressure of the
hand. Il would have liked to come
sooner, to attend Leo's funeral; but
was in Cairo when l heard the news.
My good old Leo
They went into the small, dark
room, and while Frau Won Tollen sank
sobbing into a chair, he took off his
fur coat, winking violently and clear
ing his throat to conceal his emotion.
Come, you must bear up, Marie; |
that is what l came for. Tell me
what your circumstances are, and
whether can help you in any way
Come, let me hear all about it, my
dear. What have you got to live on,
and what has become of that rascal
Rudolph? What plans have you made
for the future?"
The story she had to tell him was
miserable enough: he lad not dreamed
that her means were so small. He
sat by the table and drummed on 1t
with the fingers of one hand, while
with the other he twirled his white
mustache. A HIN, h'm!' escaped him
now and then, but that was all.
We'll, you mustn't get discouraged"
he said at length, after pause, I'VE
must consider, carefully, what is to
be done. l will speak to your eldest
son, andy the way. our Lora, our
rich Frau Lora-how is the little
girl? You have never said word
about her. / have never heard any
thing more than that she had married
very rich man-Leo wrote me as
much; the witch herself has cut me
dead for more than three MONTHS
Frau Won Tollen was silent, and
looked shyly at the old man.
We'll. l hope there is nothing
wrong?" he asked suspiciously.
"Oh-I think-not-but won't you
have something to eat?"
And she ran to the door and called
Katie, in spite of his protests. She
felt frightfully anxious, all at once.
Lora was the generals favorite: what
would he say when he saw her now?
What if she should tell him the whole
story of this marriage? The old gen.
eral would almost be ready TO kill the
mother.
Il don't want anything 10 eat"
shouted the general. "Confound it,
have already say, Marie, where
does Lora live, and what sort of man
has she got for her husband? Was 1t
love-match on her side, or did the
girl-no, that l won't believe"
"oh. William. you know she is
sometimes so peculiar"
Il must say. have never observed
it rs yet; she has always been a good,
sensible girl. so far as l have known
her."
Yes. oh, yes. William. that is true;

That the Mormon church has not dis

Argus and one Of the members of the
Junketing Utah Press association. Mr..
Felt says that, in recent advices from
Salt Lake, the information was con-
tained that while the Mormon church
has tentatively disposed of some of its
holdings, chiefly the Utah Light and
Railway company and the properties
at Saltair beach. the ownership of these
properties is still vested in persons
closely allied with the Mormon church.
He says there is not the remotest pos
sibility of the church ever selling out

states that the church still retains con 10
troll of the sugar companies of the
state and many other industries, prin-
cipal among them being the Provo

says the money derived by the church
from the sale of the properties will
undoubtedly be unsed as announced
some months ago, In building a me-
mortal hall to Joseph Smith, the
prophet, on prominent corner in Salt

The Cahuenga valley people do not
relish the idea of having their PROPOSE
tion brought before the voters at the
same time as others ask for annexation,
as some of the others might not be as
meritorious as their proposition and
might have an effect on the vote cast
for them.
The Cahuenge valley residents real
ize that they will be compelled to pay
city taxes for a long time before they
can expect any return for their money
in the way of police and fire protection,
but they wish to take advantage of the

which they cannot do under the gov

They declare they have plenty of

there seems to be no doubt that they
are, the council has no recourse but to
call the special election and the num-
ber of signatures is sufficient to make
1t mandatory on the part of the council
to take this action.
Another reason for delay is that other
districts adjacent to the city limits are
seeking annexation, but have not pre-
sented their petitions.
These districts include territory ad-
joining the Cahuenga annexation on the
south and extending to Jefferson street,
a strip east of Boyle Heights, the ter
ritory north of Highland Park, joining
Glendale, Pasadena and South Pasa-
dena, and tract joining the south city
limits. All these districts have promised

sary number of signatures ready within

QUICK GROWTH
GREATER LOS ANGELES SEES
A NEW HOPE
San Francisco Advices Say Commit
tee on Special legislation Will
Provide Clause Permitting
Constitutional Amendment

The Greater Los Angeles commission
was highly elated yesterday over word
from San Francisco that the commit
tee on special legislation had agreed
to incorporate in the governors call for
special session of the legislature a
clause providing for a constitutional
amendment permitting Los Angeles to
grow all at once. Gavin McNab, Abe
Ruef, Garrett & McEnerny were the
members of this committee who favored
special Legislation for Los Angeles ben
eft.
This committee was at first reluctant
to accede to Los Angeles demands as
Oakland, Stockton and San Jose have
propositions which they wish to submit
to special legislation that do not con-
Germ relief questions, and the committee
did not want to load up the special call.
John w. Mitchell acted as chairman
of the delegation from the Los Angeles
consolidation commission, and presented
the merits of the case to the special
legislation committee. Other members
of the delegation from this city were
John Mott, S. A. Butler, Judge Dillon
and Stoddard Jess.
Advances Consolidation
the commission believes that favor
able action by the legislature at this
time will advance the work of con-
solidation by two years. But even
should the legislature refuse to vote
the constitutional amendment that will
give Los Angeles the privilege of TAX
ing in all adjacent territory from Pasa-
dena to the sea in both directions, there
is way for this city to accomplish Its
object in spite of the legislature. This
method was suggested by Judge Dillon
at a joint meeting of the city council
and the consolidation commission
Thursday afternoon. This is by an
neXation.
Annexation will take longer and may
be more costly than the process OF do
ing II all up at once, but in any event
Los Angeles is in fair way to widen
her city limits.
Action must be taken by the city
council within reasonable time on the
petition of the Cahuenga valley people
to have their territory, embracing about
seven square miles, taken into the city.
The council is not entirely favorable
to the proposition, solely on the ground
Of expense. IT will cost about $4,000 to
hold a special election for the purpose
OF voting Cahuenga valley into the city,
and i'm the present condition of the city's
finances the council is loath to spend
this much money.
Delay TIL July I
In order to lengthen the reasonable
time" II may take for consideration OF
the proposition, and with the hope OF
delaying the election until after July l,
when the municipal year begins with its
increased revenue, the council may
order the signatures on the Cahuenga
petition verified by comparison with
the great register. AS there are 627O
names on this petition the work OF
verification can be expected to take
some time.
