Rachel Enderby, In her quiet
house in the old. fashioned pro-
vincial town, had finished her
simple prepara tions; her
house was decked with holly and
evergreens: she had sent away
her hampers and parcels to hos.
pitfalls and ragged schools, to
nieces and nephews, and to those
poorer and less fortunate than
herself. Now she was free to
sit down and enjoy the luxury
of quiet thought.
Two years had passed since
that New Years's Day at Hastle-
ton, and Rachel Enderby was
Rachel Enderby still. She
smiled a little as the memory of
a friends warning words came
back to her-a warning spoken
notso very long ago.
You've gone through the wood,
Rachel-and you'll end by pick
ing up the crooked stick. You
shonid have married and set
tied down long ago,
Her thoughts few to Latimer.
Now that he was free man
now that the tardy confession of
thatunhappy woman had remoy-
ed the burden from his shoulders,
surely he would como back to her.
and then the mere thought spelt
bliss unspeakable.
He would come back, and she,
with her great love and boundless
faith, would make up to him all
that he had suffered and gone
through with such noble silence.
Oh! it would be her life's prayer
to be worthy OF him and bis love.
The day had cleared by the
time the simple ser vice was over,
and q ray of pale sunshine crept
Out from among the clouds. shin
ing softly on her as she walked
homeWard, And at the gate her
heart gave wild leap, her eyes
became dim; yet surely it was no
dream, but 9 living. glad reality
Latimer was waiting for her,
bis hand on the gate.

FORTUNE TELLER
IS FOUND GUILTY
MAZZINI is CONVICTED IN
POLICE COURT
Case Warmly Contested, but Prose-
cutor Scores Distinctive Victory
After Eloquent Plea n His
Closing Argument

Leo Mazzini, alias Massininanda, was
convicted yesterday in Judge Austin's
department of the police Court on a
charge of practicing fortune telling
without license.
The case was vigorously contested
II. T. Gordon, attorney for the defense,
depended largely on chance of MAX
ing it appear that the fortune teller
was really practicing religious rites.
Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Ford
made an eloquent plea in his closing
argument and had little difficulty in.
securing a conviction.
The attorney for the defense showed
considerable anxiety about the news
papers getting good story on the case.
This is the second time Mazzini has
been convicted Of practising fortune
telling without a license. The former
trial was before jury in Judge Cham
ber's court. The verdict of guilty was
followed by a sentence Of ninety days
in Jail or fine of $3.50. The case was
appealed and Judge Smith of the su-
perior court sustained the decision.
Mazzinfs friends scraped together
enough money and paid the fine.
Mazzini was ordered to appear for
sentence at II o'clock today.

PORT ORANGE DEVELOPMENT
WORK is PROGRESSING
Investors Appear Anxious to Get In on the
Ground Floor

Not disturbed by the recent an
nouncement of new find of large
tract of land at Wilmington harbor
which had seemingly been overlooked
by the railroads as a possible location
for an independent port, the men iden-
titled with the development of Port
Orange are proceeding calmly and ener-
getically in perfecting their plans. They
regard this port as the only feasible
location for a harbor and are encour-
aged in their vast undertaking by the
active support of many manufacturers,
business men and warehouse interests.
1t is said that each day brings to light
some new business interest which is
seeking location on the water front at
Port Orange.
THAT the business men of San Pedro
and Long Beach are waking up is the
best kind of proof of the practicability
of the great harbor enterprise at Port
Orange" declares Eugene Germain, one
of the local capitalists interested in de-
veloping Port Orange.
'The Wilmington harbor project has
bobbed up time and again, only to be
defeated by seemingly insurmountable
obstacles. This new find now an
nounced appears to have little better
prospects than many others discovered
in the past. 1 have seen the map as
published and it appears to me that the
amount of dredging and the filling in of
submerged lands will cost such pretty
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-11
Have Pretty Ceremony

At pretty but quiet ceremony Miss
Olive Jennings, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. A. Jennings of 1887 South Bon
ME Brae street, became the bride Of
James Elmer Orbison of San Francisco.
Rev. L. M. Idleman of ST. Pauls pro-
cathedral officiated at the service,
which took place at the home of the
brides parents, and Erskine Mead
played the popular wedding marches.
Mrs. William Deyo, who was daintily
gowned in pale blue mousselaine de
sole and carried sweet peas, attended
as matron-o n-of-honor, and Harry Baker
stood with the bridegroom.
The bride wore beautiful colonial
gown of white taffeta, with Dresden
f1gues in pale green and lavender, and
she carried a shower of marguerites.
She wore a veil of point lace, the same
one as has been worn in the family for
over hundred years.
White and green were the prevail
ing color tones in the parlors, where
the ceremony was performed. and in the
dining room a profusion of variously
shaded sweet peas made charming
decoration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Orbison will go imme-
diately to San Francisco, where they
will make their Nome.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-11

figure that sufficient capital could not
be found for development.
1T is doubtful, also, whether the
United States government could be in
duced to do it's share in building the
harbor. The entire channel would have
to be reconstructed to make this new
water front practical, entailing an enor-
nous expenditure for filing in and
dredging.
SAT Port Orange, on the other hand,
1t has been shown by the engineers
report that big channel and turning
basin can be built with an outlay of
only $675,000. This would include not
only dredging the inner and outer cham
nels, but the building of jetties and
reveting the sand spit. We have the
capital necessary to accomplish this.
This will give Port Orange a per-
manent harbor in the largest body OF
still water between San Francisco and
San Diego. 1t will be land-locked and
sufficiently protected to assure a safe
channel for all time. The jetties will
prevent the refilling of the chaDnel by
sand bars"
Already money appears to be flowing
into Port Orange by investors in
residence, business and manufacturing
property. 1t Is reported that many lots
have been sold throughout the townsite.
M. l.. German & Co. are acting as
agents for the property in Port Orange

BURGLARS BUSY
ON FOURTH STREET
THREE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE
ENTERED
Thieves Obtain Trinkets Worth $3.50
from JeweIry Store, but Over
look Valuable Booty
Locked in Safe

Burglars br .ze into several stores on
West Fourth street sometime Sunday
night or Monday morning and sue
ceeded in carrying away booty.
Philip Klein of 219h West Fourth
street reporte. yesterday that his jew
elry store had been entered and goods
to the value of $3.50 taken. He says the
stolen trinkets included forty rings,
seven scarf pins and five watch fobs.
The burglars passed by safe which
Klein says contained $4,000 worth of
Jewelry and cash. They did not try
to open it.
A. F. Rucks, who owns a barber
shop at 221 West Fourth street, states
that his place was entered and $50
worth of razors stolen. The Coliseum
saloon proprietor reports that his sa-
loon was broken into, but only two
butcher knives were carried away.
1t seems that the burglars gained ac-
cess to the different stores by going UP
the stairs which lead to the Walters
club rooms at 221 West Fourth and
then down another flight of stairs
which lead to a yard on which the
rear end of the saloon, the barber
shop and the jewelry store face. From
the Walters club rooms they obtained
a ladder which they used to aid them
in getting through the transom of the
barber shop. They broke the glass in
the transom and crawled through.
Then they pried open the door of the
Coliseum saloon and obtained the two
butcher knives. They used these
knives to cut the wire screen on the
back window of Klein's jewelry store.
In going through the broken window
the burglars fell upon a showcase and
broke the thick glass.
