That was what she heard the man say to the laughing girl at his side. And it was Mercier's voice She could doubt no longer The deep tender tones were not to be mistaken.
 Perhaps Lillian only sighed. Per haps she uttered a little cry.

 The next day he came, as he had promised to come. They told her he was in the drawing room.
 She dried the tears from her eyes and rouged her cheeks so that the faithless man could not know that she had passed sleepless night and slowly descended the stairs.

 Did you bring that drawing for my inspection?" she asked, coldly, as he sank into a chair, ignoring his ges- ture refusing to meet his eyes.

In 1897 the Southwest Arkansas Tele- phone Go. started business in Prescott. At that time copper wire cost Il 3-4 cents per pound. Now it is 25 cents. In spite of the increased cost of mater ials and operation5 the rates are no higher now than then.

Because, you know that love you, little girl" he went on. And if you don't care for me. If-" he came over and knelt beside her and caught one of her hands between both of his-'if you could love me, Lillian. I would be the happiest man in the world"
 She said nothing, but she looked at him, and her eyes were full of glad surrender. He slowly drew her face toward him.

That physical fatigue Is not necessar-

conclusion which Is gradually being
reached by good many people who

proposition. So learned and welghty

been preached and pretty generally ac.

DEMENTIA PECUNIAE.

"Dcmcntia Americana" was an I'M
lucky phrase for Harry Thaw. 1t was
not supported by circumstances In his
case, and therefore had the opposite
effect from that which was Intended
by Mr. Delmas. But there Is another
kind of dementla from which there Is
no doubt young Thaw has long suffered.
That Is dementia pecuniae, the mental
decay that steals upon the children of
the rich In this country. Not all rich

JAIL FOR FAKE FINANCIERS.

An English court lately sentenced to
Imprisonment for twelve months the
manager OF an insolvent bank who had
issued deceptive circulars to induce the
public to deposit money in the institu-
ton. One of the charges on which the
man was convicted was that he had
published false balance-sheets, indicat-
ing that ten thousand pounds had been
deposited, when no such sum was rep
resented on the books. The English
laws relating TO false and fraudulent
statements In advertisements are much
more stringent than those In this coun-
try. There are notorious financial ad-
yertlsers in the United States who
would be serving terms In prison IL
the laws permitted the punishment OF
those who issue misleading and decep-
tive statements.

The Third battalion of the Twenty
seventh infantry suffered when the
First and Second battalions of the
regiment were sent to Cuba last fall
under the command of Col. Pitcher.
The companies of the Third were
broken down that the companies Of
the other two battalions might be
filled for the Cuban service. At that
time it was thought the regiment
would be back after few months,
bat it remains in Cuba and seems
! likely to for considerable period.
AS this condition of affairs became
apparent Maj. Chatfield, commanding
officer at the fort, made efforts to OBJ

been able to report only a few enlist
Ihents.

II there have been any increases in
this original number, expiration Of en-
llstmcnts has kept the total down.
Not many of the men are going
back to the companies when their
three years have expired. Most of
the privates are counting the daya
and months which elapse between
now and the hour when they again
will become the directors of their
own movements.
Officers at the post say the country
Is too prosperous to make recruiting
successful Nearly everyone is at
work, and those who want employ
glamour to the army service at pres
ent. Enlistment means either the
monotonous routine of post life or
service in Cuba or the Philippines,
where climatic conditions are bad and
insects numerous.
There are almost as many officers
being graduated from West Point each
year as there are new men being en-
listed"
The new barracks will be completed
about October /. They were to have
been ready this summer, but as there
is little pressing need for them at the
present time the failure of the con-
tractors to complete the work on
schedule will cause no hardship.
AS soon as the six new structures
are ready the various companies will
move into them from the old barracks,
which then will be remodeled. The
new structures are designed to ac-
commodate several companies. Each
company will have its own messroom,
doing away with the need of gen.
eral mess hall.
