CHAPTER XVIII.


The day after his visit to Curtain
Road. Stafford made call at the quar-
ters of his old friend Jerome, which were
situated in dingy street.
Jerome was an artist OF the true DO
hcmian class-working only when tne
want Of money pressed him; spending
one day with the most reckless e1trava-
gance. dining the next upon bread and
cheese.
Jerome's studio was a garrett lit by a
skvlight-a blank, dreary looking room,
with yellow -ochred walls, broken away in
nlaees. Old canvasses, old plaster casts,
hits of medieval armour, unfinished
sketches, Jumps of whiting, palettes, and
all the litter of an artists room, lay ABOUT
in the widest confusion.
As Stafford entered the room, he could
but dimly discern the figures within
tbrongb the dense cloud Of tobacco smoke,
which combining with puffs from a
smoky chimney, formed a most salubri-
ous atmosphere. A snout OF welcome
hailed the new arrival.
The occupants of the room were Je-
roma Leland and one or two other art
lists, and a well-dressed, aristocratic look
ing man to whom the reader has been
already slightly introduced-Mr Parsons.
.Welcome, wanderer, back again to the
sweet shades of Solo, cried jerome, the
atrically, embracing his visitor.
"Yes. boys" said Stafford, Il have
come back TO the regions of fog and
smoke once more, and none the worse for
my journey"
"Oh. by the bye, l quite forgot to do
the honors," said Jerome. ALLOW me to
introduce you, Mr.. Parsons, to an esteem
ed friend of ours, Mr.. Edward Stafford,
q brother artist"
Mr.. Parsons twirled his moustache,
stared, and bowed slightly. Stafford
haughtily acknowledged the introduction
by a curt bow.
And you have really managed to exist
for one month without gazing upon the
gaslit glories of the Strand. 1t is won
derful what human nature can go
through" exclaimed Jerome.
Stafford called Jerome aside.
"By the by" he said, Il want you to
give me an exact description of that girl

you about her." interrupted Jerome. l

JACK HALL IS A

Delight KNEW NO

II. j. (Jaek) Hall, proprietor Of
the Tonopah Liquor House, is a hap
by father, the happiest father that
ever anne over the pike. 1t hap
pened on Sunday morning, the news
reaching Mr.. Hall too late to take the
train for the coast. Mrs. Hall had
been staying with her family in the
Garden City, while Mr.. Hall had re-
NAMED here looking after affairs.
When, in addition to the good
news that Mrs. Hail was a mother,
the telegram arrived saying that the
arrival was a boy and a healthy one
at that, the JOY of the father knew
no bounds. There was nothing in
the way of liquid refreshments but
champagne fit to celebrate the happy
event. That is, it was champagne for
everybody but Jack, for he was des-
tined to San Jose yesterday morning.
and no champagne for him. He
wanted first to see the boy and moth
er and he was not going to take any
chances on missing the train.
Mr.. Hall was the recipient of many
congratulations, and nothing could
have been more pleasing to him thar
the news Of his first born. He has
been married nineteen years, and this
is the first.

senator Williams at Hot Greek, and he is bruised from head to '

The accident occurred on Sunday night while the party was n y
its way back from the examination of a mining property, Whlch
was full of promise. The prospect is located in the ToYabe '
range, and the party started out for it early on Sunday morning.
They had made the inspection and were on the way back bent on
getting in the same night. The machine in which they were rid
ing was the new 70-horsepower Simplex recently purchased by
Macdonald and Donald Gllies, the fastest machine that has ever
come into this district.
Shorty was putting the machine to its best efforts, ana the
speed was not less than sixty miles an hour when they reached
Hot Creek. Going at this terrific squirt, the right forward wheel
struck a rock, which shunted the automobile out of it's path, and
threw the occupants whirling through space. Messrs. Macdonald
and Russell We're partly stunned, and MT Bradford WS IN nSt
to scramble to his feet.
Mr.. Macdonald was unable toEise, but was finally assisted to his
feet. MI Bradford was familiar wit hthe country, and directed
shorty to the Williams ranch, while he remained with the suffer
ers. Assistance was soon Forthcoming, and the injured men re-
moved to the ranch, where the best of nursing was accorded them
by Mrs. Williams and her daughter, Mrs. Butler.
Yesterday afternoon, Arthur Raycraft, and q party OF hunters,
who were returning from a dueN shoot, stopped at the ranch and
learned the particulars of the accident. The use of the machine
was rendered to the sufferers. bat MI. Macdonald could not be
