of jealousy, the first she had known in her
petted life. stabbing her she had not known
that hearts could be stabbed

must have been twenty-seven or eight. And

And what did they do next" Rhasneh in
terrupted impatiently. She could hear of her
charms any time.
Next they walked till they came to the
vapor boat, and on that they embarked. 1t is
likely that they have gone to take their place
in line to wait till the great Padshah shall go
to say his prayers at the mosque But, if
you wish the young giaour to love you, he
loved you as long as you desire" she pointed
with an expressive gesture at the Bosporus.
The old nurse took the hand of her mistress,
and soothed her as she would child. OF
course, you shall keep him as long you
desire; but a few months will be enough and
then you will marry true believer and become
happy"
Rhasneh turned away from her nurse and
her thoughts flew to her world of books,
wherein the good people had only one love,
pure and all absorbing; and her heart yearned
for that civilization of noble men. She shrank
from this creature of her environment.
She thought OF an incident OF her dream that
she had paid little attention to before. "Ah.
see the full significance of it." she said to her
self :" He did not see there, as he does not
see me now. There l had to call to him in
order to awaken his love. | must call to him
now, or he will pass by my window and never
know that | am here, that l need his help.

go to Balarah Sultana, and drive with her to
the mosque"

before Rhasnehs impotence had time to be-
come aight, she was being made ready for the
ceremony.
Rhasneh knew that if the hero of her dream
had gone to take his place to watch the Sultan
pass, she would be sure to see him during the
slow procession of the Sultans carriages, and
her mind was not more than half occupied with
her dress while she was being arrayed in the
black silk teredje that the Sultan's mother liked
to see Osmanli women wear on such occasions
as this. When she was yelled with the flny
white yashmak, she surveyed herself in the
glass, and was not i'll pleased at the effect of
her face seen through the gauzy veil. His
eyes would hardly pass her over if once they
alighted on her The mirror echoed the fiat
teries of her dependents
Driving fast, with Fahick the eunuch up in
front with the coachman, and three of her
slaves in the carriage with her. Rhasneh ar
rived at the apartment of her friend Balarah
Sultana, one of the young sisters of the Sultan
in plenty of time. They greeted each other in
the courteous and formal manner of the Mus
suman women. Balarah Sultana, as the
higher in rank, saluted first, with the graceful
temend. Rhasneh responded in kind, and then
they embraced, and cried out, "Mashallah!"
at each others beauty.
Il came to drive with you to the mosque"
Rhasneh said, claiming what was accorded
only to the great in the land
Your presence will make the ceremony
sweeter to me, Balarah Sultana answered
They entered one of the Sultan's yellow satin
lined vIctorias and no sooner had issued from
the gates of the palace than Rhasnehs eyes
began roaming in search of her foreigner. She
knew that the carriages of the foreign legations
had the inestimable privilege of near view of
the Sultan going to prayers, and that the man
she was looking for had some diplomatic po-
sltion was natural guess. And Fate, as was
to be expected after such dream soon aided
her. In their slow and intermittent progress,
they stopped once within a yard of the car
riage wherein were Weir and Mrs Blake, as
has already been told of at the beginning of
this story.

in families where Ponds Extract was relied
upon the household remedy in all emergen-

has created such a widespread demand for it
that it has been decided to send it free to any

expense to prepare illustrate and print this
useful volume, and while the original purpose
to show the value of Ponds Extract for

pose that it stands to-day as an authoritative

household remedy for over 60 wears, and the

LET |NYO COUNTY
KEEP TAX MONEY
LOS ANGELES DECIDES NOT TO
BRING SUIT
For Expediency's Sake Owens Aque-
duct Land Payments Are Do
mated, Though Legality
Is Questioned

No efforts will be made by the city
of Los Angeles to recover $500 taxes
paid as a first installment under pro-
test, on it's water-bearing lands in lnyo
county from the standpoint of expedi-
ency. Such was the recommendation
of the board of public works adopted
yesterday at special session of the
city council.
At this time. with the special cleo
ton for the bond issue near, 1t Is
deemed advisable not to give the I'M
preston in Inyo county that Los
Angeles will do nothing to con-
tribute to the prosperity of the
county which the big aqueduct VIII
traverse. The city will also be obliged
to depend on Inyo county officials to
keep order in their camps during the
construction period.
The following official statement was
made to the city council and acted on:
1.-The following report has been re-
ceived from w. B. Mathews, attor-
ney for the aqueduct:
The first installment of taxes for the
fiscal year 1906-7 upon the property OF
the city situated in the county Of Inyo
was paid under protest in November
last. and the time within which suit to
recover the same can be brought Will
expire on the 9th day of this month,
and would suggest that your board
submit to the council the question
whether the city should seek to recover
these taxes.
This question involves matter OF
expediency as we'll as of legal rights
which should receive special consider
alton from the city officials. In view
of the fact that the value of the city's
property constitutes so considerable a
proportion of the total valuation OF
property in Inyo county, the failure of
the city to pay such taxes might result
in Gripping and hampering the admin
istration of the official business of the
county.
""This city, by reason of it's large
property interests and it's plans for con-
structing extensive works in Inyo coun-
ty, and it's dependence upon the local
government for protection, should con-
slider not only the question Of its right
to recover said taxes, but also the ques-
tion of whether it would not be to its
pecuniary advantake to omit to compel
the county to refund the money paid
for taxes. The amount of the install
ment of taxes referred to Is IN the
neighborhod of $780,
"In view of the suggestions made by
Mr.. Mathews as to the effect of the
city's failure to pay taxes in the county
of Inyo and the possible effect which
might ensue should suit be instituted
for recovery of the taxes paid, this
board recommends to your honorable
body that no steps be taken to recover
from the said county of Inyo the Install
ment of taxes heretofore paid.

.CLEVERLY SAVES
CLIENTS A LOSS
Hon. Theodore A. Bell Defeats At
tempt to Clear Up Big Profit
on Quick Sale of
Stock

Through the intervention of Theodore A.
Bell, recently the Democratic candidate
for governor, a $22, 900 profit was saved to
the S. A. Vance estate, for which Mr.. Bell
is the attorney.
In settling up the estate Mr.. Bell offered
for sale 2203 shares of preferred cumula-
tive stock of the Vance Redwood Lumber
company drawing per cent interest, and
received a bid Of $C5 share from G. R.
Johnson.
The bid was accepted and the deal
about to be closed when it was learned
that johnson had contracted to resell the
stock to A. B. Hammond of the Hammond
Lumber company of San Francisco for
$85 a share.
Wishing to derive all the profit possible
for his clients, Mrs Vance and her 3-year-
old son Albert, Bell withheld the delivery
of the stock, and yesterday sought the aid
of the probate court to prevent the deal
from going through.
Hammond too had learned of the i'm
mense profits that were to be made at his
expense, and through his representative,
S. A. Vance, offered to buy them direct
from the estate for $75
Johnson argued that the sale as first
arranged could not be set aside as he had
already deposited the purchase price with
the American National bank. He was
overruled by Judge Rives, who said he in
tended that the estate should get the
highest price possible for the stock.
The case was continued until next Fri
day for a further hearing.

CONSIGNMENT OF
NEW CARS ARRIVE
Seventeen Out of Forty Standard
Gauge TroIIeys to Run to the
Beaches Come on Their
Own Wheels

Seventeen big, Lew electric cars,
looming up through the myriad of box
cars and dingy passenger coaches, in
all the glory of their resplendent green
paint and golden finishings, arrived at
the Southern Pacific yards yesterday
and are the first of the consignment
from the ST. Louis Car company to
the Los Angeles-Pacific railway here
The cars are standard gauge and
will ply between Los Angeles and Santa
Monica, Ocean Park, Venice, Holly
wood and other points on the electric
system. They came here on their own
wheels, and are all ready to put to
work the minute the track is compleJ-
ed to carry them.
I'VE are going right ahead with our
work of standardizin3 the SYSTEM"
said superintendent r. M. Sherman of
the Los Angeles-Pacific yesterday.
1.-THE ties and general roadbed to sup
port a heavier trackage have already
been put in place and the actual work
of laying the rails will begin in a
few days.
"Our new cars are certainly beauties,
and are modern in every particular.
The seating arrangements are as per-
feet as the st. Louis Car company
could devise, and our passengers are
sure to be pleased with the new con-
veyances,
Came on Own Wheels
'The cars came out on their own
wheels without accident of any kind.
The second consignment of the fifty
we ordered for immediate delivery,
and which consists of sixteen cars, is
already this side of Ell Paso, and from
the looks of things they will also ar
rive in perfect condition"
A third lot of cars, seventeen in
number, will be shipped from 81. Louis
at an early date, and it is the expec-
tation of Superintendent Sherman that
he will have the system in such con-
dition that broad gauge cars will carry
passengers to the beach this summer.
Ocean Park, Santa Monica and Venice
have been handicapped in the past be-
cause of shortage of cars, but if +he
expectations of the Los Angeles-Pacific
officials are fulfilled this condition will
be changed.
In addition to the fifty cars for i'm
mediate delivery the Los Angeles
Pacific has ordered an additional fifty
to be sent here from st. Louis next
fall. They will be the same in general
construction as the present lot, and
are expected to arrive on schedule time.

BEGINS MEAT
CAMPAIGN SOON
Chief Inspector and Deputies Will
Start Active Work in Slaughter
Houses and Butcher
Shops

Now that Chief Meat INSPECTOR Nell
son has his staff of deputies he an
nounces that rigid inspection will COM
mence the first of the month.
The campaign will cover all the
slaughter houses and butcher shops.
The health department in framing this
measure did so with a view to making
the fees paid by the slaughter house
owners pay the costs of the department,
but it was found that the wording of
the ordinance was such that inspectors
were not always sure of their pay.
In amended form all fees now go into
the city treasury for the health depart
ment pay roll and inspectors get a
specified salary of $110 a month.

SCHOOL BOARD OBJECTS.
County Fears That Proposed Bound.
ary May Be DISADVANTAGE.

Objection was raised by the county
board of education yesterday to the pro-
posed change of the boundary lines of
Ogden city. The board is of the opinion
that the new lines would discriminate
to the disadvantage of the county, espe-
Cially as to schools. A committee was
appointed to investigate the matter and
il conditions are found to favor the city
movement to kill the plan will be car
ried to the state legislature
The main objection was to the eastern
lines Of the city. BY following a straight
line instead of the base of the mountain
a portion OF the Telluride Power com
pany's transmission line will also be in
cluded In Ogden city as will also nearly
a mile of the pipeline. This property has
always been assessed by the county and
the taxes collected and applied TO coun-
ty purposes. Rather than to lose the
school tax imposed on the Dipe and trans
mission lines the board will endeavor to
stop the creation of the new boundary
for the city and county
The finance committee reported cash
on hand aggregating SS130sO. and the
board allowed bills amounting to 500.
