Andrews had come to the point
where he had to tell somebody else
of his great happiness. AS long as
there had been no assurance that
his love was returned, he had proud
ly and resolutely eschewed conf
dants, but now that the thing was
settled even beyond his most san
guine hopes, an equal sense Of pride
and determination assailed him to
share his glorious secret with the
world.
1t was after 10 o'clock, and he had
already frittered away the best part
Of two hours dreaming before the fire,
reading sentimental nonsense and
poring over the photograph which lad
arrived in the afternoon post. 1t was
the picture Of strikingly beautiful
woman, lowering close on thirty.
The eyes were wide and intent and
full of charm that nearly everybody
realized without analysing; the mouth
below, was soft and humid and laugh
ing. The red OF her cheeks appear
ed only as an indication of some par
ticular emotion; ordinarily, her skin
was warmly pale, with just a sugges-
tion Of rose beneath the satin sur
face. Her brows were fine and black,
contrasting in ravishing way with
the shining pile Of seal-brown hair
with its Elusive glints of gold.
Andrews placed the picture on
table beside him, and closing his
eyes, drifted off into a delicious rev.
erie. A clock striking IL reused him.
He sat up and looked about the room
half-guiltily. At the same time, there
came a hurried rap on his door, fol-
lowed Immediately by Preston him

Andrews had pulled himself to-
gether and got up to help the other
off with his coat.
What about the machine?" he
laughed, waving Preston to a chair
and taking the one opposite.

STAGE Friuht,

Very few persons acquit themselves
nobly in their maiden speech. At a
wedding feast recently the bridegroom
was called upon, as usual, to respond
to the given toast, in spite of the
fact that he had previously pleaded to
be excused.
Blushing to the roots of his hair,
he rose to his feet. He intended to
imply that he was unprepared for
speech-making, but unfortunately plac.

Evidently the man was footpad.
The woman did not quail.
On the contrary, she took a pistol
from her muff.
"You horrid thing" she said, "if this
was loaded and knew how to cock it
I'd make you go right away"

the police arrived.

courage to commence. Finally he
said:
Il suppose you have no idea, old
man, why | was so particular about
your coming here tonight"
Not the slightest"
Andrews cleared his throat and took
a fresh light with assumed delibera.
tion. For such a staid lawyer in
business hours, he felt that he was
acting half a simpleton in this new
role of ardent lover.
Preston laughed and grabbed him
by the hand.
Congratulations are in order,
see," he remarked, regarding the 9TH
er with half-sympathetic, half-ac-
cusing glance.
Andrews flushed furiously and at
once became painfully dignified.

gratulations are in order-and num-

Andrews contemplated him in ST.

voice was more subdued.

Preston smiled little bitterly at
his friends abrupc solemnity.
"Oh, she didn't die" he fastened
to add, better if she had"

first to break it.

Andrews bent and laid sympa.

"Of course not" he said, there is
nothing that can shadow my happi-
ness, butt am sorry for you all the

Preston dismissed the topic, and
when he looked toward the other
again, his face was quite cloudless.

transfixed at the likeness.
"How-could-I?" he managed to
get out in sheer desperation. He
caught his breath in a little sharp
spasm as he placed the photograph
carefully on the table.

Yakima Indian, but he will not lister
TO anything but justice.
The head of his boy which he say

away from the cemetery in a sack, fl
in box at the office of Judge Tag

OBSTACLES
OVERCOME
Plenty Of Material and Rolling Stock
Secured for Operation and Con-
struCtion Of Railway.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Arkansas Valley railroad has had no
difficulty in getting plenty of steel
and ties for the spurs, we have not
heard that trains. are being run there
on.
The management of the Holly &
Swink railway has had to surmount
many difficulties in this line, but not
withstanding the fact trains have
been run over the latter line for over
week now Carload after carload of
steel and ties-two things that Man
ager Wiley had some difficulty at
first in securing-arc now arriving
daily at both terminals of the system
About June l three engines are ex-
pccted to arrive here for the road.
The fifty new steel dump cars that re-
quired so much strategy to secure for
this years use will arrive here be-
fore September 1. In fact they may
commence to come along in driblets
very soon. or the factory may hold
them back until the order is complete.
This cannot be determined at this
time, but it is absolutely certain that
there will be enough rolling stock to
handle the entire beet business by tn,
time the harvest begins.
These steel dump cars are said to
be of superior quality as compared
with those in use by the Santa Fe
system This should allay any feel
ing on the part of the skeptics that
this will be a 'jerkwatcr" line.
Each week sees more men put to
work in the general Offices of the
road here and at the other end.
