He freed her hand. "You don't know

He stood as she had seen him first.
His face was flushed. his uncovered
hair was rumpled. In one hand he
held his rife. in the other his tasseled

She went on out of the grove. He

coulee road she caught sight OF some
dandelions and gathering her apron
into a generous pouch started TO pick
a mess Her bonnet fell off. She tied
il by q string to her braid. Then fit

We heard them give a yell.

Her step was light. Her cheek was

answered.

Then. with a grunt, ''Waai, good rid

Later on, as Dallas circled the shack
with the plow turning up a wide strip
as protection against fires. she found
that the reason she had given for the
trumpet's varying was the true one
The sun. dispensing the fog, had IN
shrouded the river and unveiled the
barracks and the bluffs. When she
saw that, Of the canvas row below the
stockade not a tent remained and the
campgr0und lay deserted. While from
ii. heading northward through the post
TO the faint music Of the band, moved
an imposing column of cavalry Arms
and equipment flashed CALAMITY in the
sun. Horses curveted. Handkerchiefs
futtered goodbys from the galleries OF
the lire Up Clothespin row the wives
and babies of troopers waited in lizzie
groups. At the quarters of the scouts
sounded the melancholy beat of a tom
tom. Accompanying it and contrast
ing with it weirdly was plaintive ca
\ dence-the monotonous lament Of In
dian women.
The column wound on its way. a
its rear the heavy rolling, white GOV
cred wagon train. The band had
ceased to play The groups that had
been waving farewells sorrowfuliy
dispersed The tomtom was still, and
no wall Of squaws was borne across
the river Then Dallas again started
up Ben and Betty.
And now sudden fit of depression
came over her. The dew sparkled OF
the grass, the air was soft, the breeze
caressing, the sun was warm on he
shoulders. Yet with all the brightness
on every hand a sense of uneasines
would not be shaken off
She found herself refining often t,
look toward Clark's. Midway Of tn,
eastern ridge was u long buzz blotch

that is available to the postal authori-
ties. So all that the latter have here
tofore felt that it was possible to do
was to consign the Santa Claus mail
to the dead letter Office along with the
other unclaimed matter which finds its
way to this dreary tomb.
Now this new dispensation whereby
the letters TO Santa Claus are TO be
turned over 10 various charitable asso-
Citations for investigation, should be Of
much benefit in adding its portion 10
the meager joys OF child life among the
poor The only darw back seems to
80 that there are bound to be certain
INSCRIPTIONS persons who will take ad-
vantage Of the recognition Of Santa
claus mail, and ruin the chances Of
the really worthy, by attempting the
inevitable graft" Of course, il will do
such no good, as no letters are to re-
ceive substantial recognition at the
hands Of the charity workers until they
have been made the subject of careful
investigation and By this means have
been discovered to be worthy But
while the grafters Will not be the
gamers, the really worthy cases may
be the losers, If graft letters become
too numerous Thus, much harm may
be accomplished to nobody's gain But
as many letters which have been the
subject Of investigation and found un-
worthy, have already proved these I'M
scrupulous parties have no thought Of
consequences and the result may be
that another year the postohice officials
and their allies, the charity workers,
may be SO disguised by the impositions,
that a custom that might work untold
good may be dispensed with altogether.
1t seems almost pity that the fact
Of recognizing the Santa Claus mail
by the postal authorities should have
been advertised as it has been. Per-
haps it would have been better TO have
said nothing about it. and the author
tiles thereby could have taken cog
nizance only Of such mail as drifted
their way, without opening up the pos
sibility Of the custom of sending letters
to Santa Claus becoming a nuisance
that they could not hope to cope with
during times when the legitimate mails
are abnormally heavy at best.

NORTHERN PACIFIC VALUATION.
Comptroller of Road Estimates It at
$324,675,496.

4o<f,Ofo,f0Os
Chicago, March 20.-Charles II.
Gray, comptroller Of the Northern Pa
cifc railway, appeared before Inter-
state Commerce Commissioners Prouty
and Harlan to supplement the infor.
nation given by him regarding the
status of the railroad properties held
By the railroad company.
He declared that Aug. 81, 1896,
when the railroad was sold under
foreclosure proceedings, the total
value of the property was $241,067,7 ITO,
of which amount $22,O 0 ,207 was in
equipment. There were then 4,499
miles of railroad, costing s53,537 per
mile. On Aug. 80, 1906, the mileage,
according to the witness, had In
creased to 6,O98 miles and the officials
had invested $18,231,S 1857 for improve
ments and $2,O0s,5 500 for equipment,
which had been paid out of income
accounts. When asked for a valuation
of the entire property Of the railroad
Mr.. Gray said he estimated it as be-
ing worth 324,675,4S6 on June 3, 1906.
Inquiries regarding the earnings of
the road brought out the information
that for fifteen years prior to 1896 the
yearly earnings on the outstanding
capitalization amounted to five-eighths
of 1 per cent, but in the year ending
Sept. l, 1906, the earnings we're 4.6
per cent.

BROTHERS LOVE SAME WOMAN.
Fight With Knives Until Both Are
MortaIIy Wounded.

New York, March 20.-Two brothers
who loved the same woman fought
with knives and clubs in an East Side
saloon until both were Sc desperately
injured that they probably will die.
The men are George and Giovanni
Francesca, who came to America from
Palermo about two years ago. There
they had both been rivals for the
hand of the same girl, who eventually
accepted George. the elder, and they
were married shortly before the trio
came to New York. Not long after
their arrival George began to neglect
his wife and at last she left him and
went to live with friends in Brooklyn.
When the brothers met in the East
Side saloon Giovanni %upbraided
George for his treatment of the young
wife, tainted him in front of a number
Of other Italians and admitted that he
the younger brother-still loved the
woman.
Instantly the brothers closed in a
fierce struggle which ended in the
hallway, where they were found un-
conscious by q policeman. Georges
head had been crushed by a blow and
the younger man had q deep knife
wound In the abdomen.

DEFENSE IN THAW CASE INTRO.
DUcEs EVIDENCE TO CONTRA.
DICT PROSECUTION.
ANSWER JERouE's Ions QUESTION
EXPERTS DECLARE DEFENDANT
INSANE WHEN HE KILLED
STANFORD WHITE.

New York, March 20.-Cross-exam-
ination of DR.. Smith Ely Jelliffe, in
sanity expert for the defense, occu-
pied the whole of the morning session
Of the court trying Harry K. Thaw for
the murder of Stanford White. The
district attorney produced a medical
work edited by DR.. Jelliffe and in
terrogated the witness regarding the
contents Of many Of its chapters.
There were frequent wrangles be-
tween the prosecutor and the witness.
Mr.. Delmas during the ~cross-exam-
ination noted exceptions to several Of
MI. Jerome's remarks on the ground
of misconduct. He also objected to
the whole course Of the cross-examina-
ton, but Justice Fitzgerald overruled
all objections. When Mr.. Jerome had
completed his long cross-examination
MI. Delmas undertook an extensive r e
direct examination. DR.. Jelliffe said
been Misunderstanding from a para
noiac form of some insanity-for at
least two and a half years prior to the
tragedy.
DIR. Jelliffe was still on the stand
when the luncheon recess was or
dered. When he finishes there will
be four more experts called in behalf
of Thaw.
Additional Experts Testify.
DR.. Jelliffe was recalled Immediately
after recess, but Mr.. Jerome said he
would abandon a re-cross-eXamination.
The physician %thereupon was excused
and Mr.. Delnlas summoned to the
stand DR.. Charles w. Pilgrim, super
intendent o. the Hudson river state
hospital at Poughkeepsie and presi-
dent Of the state lunacy commission.
DIR. Pilgrim expressed the opinion that
Thaw was insane when he killed
White.
DR.. Pilgrim was excused after a
brief cross-examination and DR.. Minas
Gregory was called. DR.. Gregory gave
it as his opinion that Thaw was in
sane when he shot and killed Stanford
White.
DR.. Charles G.. Wagner was then re-
called and, answering Jerome's hypo-
thetical question, said that Thaw was
insane when he killed White.
DR.. Britton D. Evans also was re-
called to answer the prosecutions
hypothetical question and in reply said
he thought Thaw insane when he shot
and killed White.

ON ALL HARTMAN ROADS.
BoiIermakers Will Strike Unless De-
mands Are Granted.

Boi!ermakers Will Strike Unless De-
mands Are Granted.
Chicago, March 20.-A strike in
shops of all Hartman railroads, sched-
uled to begin Monday. was held up
pending the outcome of negotiations
in Chicago between officials and rep
resentatives OF the international
Boilermakers' union. It is said the
danger of a tieup has not been passed.
President George F. Duffy of the
union held a conference with Pres
ident FELTON, of the Chicago and
Alton road. Later the executive board
of the boilermakers' organization met.
It was announced that the union will
demand the reinstatement Of the men
who struck a month ago in the Alton
shops at Bloomington.
The Alton strike was called of, but
the company refused to restore all the
strikers to their positions. President
FELTON, holds that the walkout is a
closed incident.

LABOR WAR ON At SEATTLE
MASTER BUILDERS LOCK OUT
THREE THOUSAND UNION
EMPLOYEES.

Seattle, Wash, March 2O.-A lock
out against union labor went into ef-
feet here when twenty-five members
of the Master Builders association
paid off their men. The laborers
thrown out of employment number
close to 1000 and construction work
on sixty buildings is at a standstill.
The constant annoyance Of petty de-
mands by union men is given as the
cause of the lockout. The unions will
probably go half way in a compromise
with the master builders, not wish
ing to see a suspension Of building
operations.

FILTERS JOIN STRIKERS.

Lorain co., S%hipbuiIding Plant Com
pleteIy Tied UP.
L.orain, O., March 20.-The Lorain
plant of the American Shipbuilding
company has closed down in prac-
tically all departments as a result OF
the strike of 100 filters. About 1900
employees are now idle. The strike in
the yards several days ago affected
about $40 men, but the remainder of
the force, about 1,46O men, we're able
to continue at work because the fit
ters furnished them with material.
The filters say that their strike Is
not entirely a sympathetic one, but
that they have grievances irrespective
of those of the men who went out the
other day.

win Import strikebreakers.

Superior, Wis.,, March 20.-The
trades and labor assembly Of this city
has taken a hand in the strike at the
shipyards by declaring the yards un-
fair. The company is now making
preparations to put on s~trikebreakers
and may house a couple of hundred
within the yards. Only a part Of the
men are unionized and on that &C.
count It will be more difficult for the
unions TO effect a complete tieup.
