Virginia's face became suddenly
wooden. Until that moment it had
not occurred to her that Jastrow's mo-
tive in showing her the two kilograms
might have been carefully calculated.
Though she would have disavowed it
emphatically, Miss Carteret was an
aristocrat of the aristocrats; and the
conviction that the secretary had de-
lfberately gone about to establish a
confidential relation filled her with
cold anger.

to speak to me that way. Mr. Jas
strow." she said, with the faintest pos
sible emphasis on the courtesy prefix;
and with that she turned from him
to focus her field glass on the con-
struction camp below.
At the Utah stronghold all was ac-
tivity of the fiercest. Winton had
raced back with his news of the catas-
trophe, and the camp was alive with
men clustering like bees and swarm

feeling that Jastrow had been lying in

conviction that he had done the same
thing the previous morning.
She turned upon him quickly
Was II an accident. Mr.. Jastrow?"

he inquired. mildly
Il don't know But there was an
explosion; I heard it. Surely Uncle

presently on the scene Of the disaster.
In a twinkling the men were of and
at work. and the frosty morning air
rang with the battle shout of labor
triumphant-or meaning TO be.
Virginia's color rose and the brown
eyes filled swiftly. One part of her
ideal-her masculine ideal-was cour-
age of the sort that rises the higher
for reverses. So the prompt counter
stroke filled her with joy. and at the
moment Wiuton was as near gaining
partisan as the Rajah was to losing
one. But at the heart-thrilling instant
she remembered the cold-eyed secre-
tary, and, lest he should spy upon her
emotion as he had upon her sympa thy.
she turned quickly and took refuge in
the car.
In the open compartment OF the
Rosemary the waiter was laying the
plates for the early breakfast. and
Bessie and the Reverend " illiam were
al the window watching the stirring
industry battle now in full swing on
the opposite slope. Virginia Joined
them.
Isn't it a shame," she said. ''Of
course | want our side to win; but it
seems such pity that we can't fight
fairly"
The faxen- haired cousin looked her

The interruption was the Rajah in
his proper person. bustling out fierce
ly to a conference with his myrmi
dons. BY tacit consent the three at
the window fell silent. There was
battle and murder and sudden death
in the Rajah's eye.
The event for which they waited did
not linger There was a hasty muster
ing of armed men under the windows
OF the Rosemary. and they heard
Sheriff neckert's low voiced instruc-
tions TO his posse.
Take It slow and easy, boys. and

When the examiner closed his work the

check their account 8 1900, To be made good
by check on a Cincinnati bank when the live
stock was sold. and which had not been
received at the time the examiner took

Federal Court I'm AiabaMa Makes an lm-
portant Decision ON Neglected DEGREES.

HusrsvILLr. Ala. Aug. l0+-For the last
fifteen or twenty years numerous judg-
ments have been rendered by the Federal
courts in this. district on forfeitures taken
for the failure OF defendants TO appear
in original cases. These judgments rave
been allowed to stand without enforce
ment and nov they aggregate about $500. 600.
The Department of Justice recently gave
instructions TO the District Attorney TO col
lect these unpaid Judgments. Execution
was issued against J. T. Noojin. an a test
case, on a Judgment rendered in 1892.
Noojin ffled'a motion to quash the execution
because 1t was founded on a dormant judg-
mept not enforceable under the law and
asserting that the action Of the Government
official in not proceeding within ten years
nulh6ed the judgment and barred il by the
statute of limitations.
Judge Huntlsy ruled that the negligence
of Government agencies does not affect
the right of the Federal Government in the
enforcement Of Government matters. The
effect Of this decision will put in full force
