whole gossip that had been spread about
his wife, and clear away much that he
could not understand.
"And if so, we shall be ruined, Sheila,
sobbed Alice Fairfax; but anyhow, l
shall tell the truth, and say you asked
me to do"
"You dare to turn on me" Sheila
flashed, furiously, white with anger, and
then she would have proceeded to fur
ther ebullitions Of wrath had not the
door of her room been opened at this
moment and Mr.. Fullerton announced by
the waiter. A glance at the two flushed
faces would have satisfied Willie as to
their guilt, if he had not, at that mo-
ment, reposing in his pocket, a complete
confession signed by Murray, whom Daw-
son, the detective, had easily found--this
had been done at jeans suggestion-and
who, discovering that her chance of a
brilliant career on Sheila's jewels was
briefly cut short, eased her conscience and
her spite by disclosing the whole plot.
Willie's interview with Sheila was
short and to the point and when he left
the room he carried with him her sigma
ture and a few words at the bottom of
Murray's confession testifying that all
the maid had written was true.

THE TRAMP FLOWER.
Betty grow within a garden,

Betty grew within garden,
Long ago.
Tended by old-fashioned fingers,
Trained just 30
Fairest of the flowers they thought her,
Lovers for their ladies sought her,
And for love and money bought her,
Lady Bet.
Fair and fine was pretty Betty,
Long ago;
In her perfumed gown Of lacework,
Made for show.
Freshest dews from heaven kissed her,
Meier a balmy zephyr missed her,
Eunbeams FASTENED to assist her,
Dainty Bet.
But their tickle fancies wavered.
Long ago:
And a rival flower won them,
All, the woe
Fashions cruel whim dethroned her,
Robbed her of the prestige loaned her;
Old time friends In vain bemoaned her,
Pretty Bet.
Thrust from out her native garden,
Long ago..
Betty crept upon the highway,
There to grow.
Now she mods from every corner,
Wildness has of beauty shorn her,
Till the passing children scorn her,
Gypsy Bet.
She that was so fine and dainty,
Long ago;
Tended by old-fashioned fingers,
Trained just SO
Grazing kline have tramped and manned
her,
Long neglect has paled and shamed her,
And the vulgar youth have named her
Bouncing Bet.

CHAPTER XIV

Jean Thwait was lying in a delicious
doze, half waking, half sleeping, on the
morning following the Dinglewood masked
ball, when sharp tap at the door, fol-
lowed by Audrey's rapid entrance, arous-
ed her completely.
what is 1t, darling? Something has
happened?" she cried hurriedly.
Jean, can you pack up a few things
and come with me at once?" Audrey
spoke family. her face was deathly white.
she shook in every limb; then before Jean
could answer, she went on swiftly. "My
mother is very i'll. She has telegraphed
for me. Perhaps even now I may be too
late; she may be dead. I have ordered
the carriage to be here in an hour, can
you be ready?"
YES" replied Jean. briefly. 1t needed
no words to tell her that more was the
matter than this telegram from Ger

to her before, had never looked as she
looked now.

CHAPTER XVI

There was nothing to do. Audrey fell
into sickness that threatened serious
consequences. Jean sent at once for Lord
Glendurwood and Fullerton, and he came
in hot haste from vain search for Bey-
erley Rochfort. There was nothing to be
done but wait. Audrey had fallen into
a stupor. Her dear mother was buried
without the presence Of her beloved child.
For three days and nights Jean sat
beside Audrey's bed, watching and dread
ing for the moment when that fair, frail
face should grow even whittier, the faint,
low breathing even fainter. Three long,
weary days these were; but if she found
them terrible, how much more so did the

THE BUTCHERS LICENSE
TO Be GIVEN A TEST
The Territory Appeals to the Supreme
Court From a Cochise County
Judgment.

The territory is about to apply
further test to the validity of the
butchers license law which has been
disputed. A suit was begun by the
territory for the live stock board in
Cochise county against Kenney Bros.
doing business at Bisbee Strengthening
cattle. They had refused TO take out
the license of $3.50 required by the live
stock law.
They demurred to the complaint on
three grounds. first that il did not
state facts showing that an Offense
had been committed: that the terri
tory was not the proper plaintiff and
that the court was without jurisdiction.
The demurrer was sustained on the
first named ground but Attorney Cen
eral Clark for the territory elected to
stand on the complaint and an appeal
was taken on error. Judgment was
also given the defendants for costs
amounting to $l.35.
The papers in the case were received
yesterday at the office of the clerk of
the supreme court but they have not
yet been filed. Different phases of
the live stock law have been disre-
garded from time to time but this is
the first time that a supreme test has
been entered upon.

OUR NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry Halt Before a Panic
Comes.

The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element of home life. We
are in danger of a great commercial
decline. because men. as a whole. think
only of getting wealth.
There are thousands. both men and
women. who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush through life. and
as a result we have an age of indiges-
ton. nervousness. irritsbility. sleep
less nights. and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-O-na tab
lets. there is no longer any excuse for
one to have i'll health from stomach
weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls OF the
stomach. stimulates secretion of the
digestive juices. regulates the liver
and restores muscular contraction to
the intestifes and bowels, so no laxa-
tive is needed.
Sick headaches. palpatation. bad
taste in the mouth. yellow skin. irri-
liability. coated tongue and melan-
choly are a few of the many distress
ing results OF indigestion. Mi-o-na
never fails TO dispel all these troubles.
Larson Drug Co. sells Mi-o-na in so
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money if the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction.

RECOMMt NDATION OF
BUILDING COMMITTEE
The Plans For Y. M. c. A. Building
Presented by Mr.. frost Meet With
Approval.

The building committee OF the Y. NJ.
G. a. held a meeting yesterday even
ing at which il was decided to recon-
mend the plans. as presented by Mr.
II. c. frost of FL Paso and Field Sec
rotary Titus of Ell Paso. to the board
OF directors. and a meeting of the COM
mittee and the board will be held this
morning at eight o'clock Ii is prob
able that the board will accept the rec
concentration of the committee and
viii i'm a short time call for bids for
the erection of the structure according
TO the specifications
At the meeting yesterday afternoon
the plans were further discussed and
considered very carefully by the mem
bers of the committee so that they
might have n clear understanding of
every detail. Some minor changes
may be made in the interior but none
that will materially affect or alter the
whole.
Many of the citizens yesterday were
well pleased with the plans and the
appearance Of the building. as pictured
and described in the yesterday morn
ing's Republican. and expressed the
opinion that the architects had met
the needs of the city and Phoenix eli
mate remarkably well in the style Of
structure adopted. and the future
Phoenician would always point with
pride in directing the tourist to the
home of the Y. NJ. c. A
Another feature not heretofore men,
toned is the roof garden on the roof
Of the north wing or the gymnasium
room. 1t is planned TO fit this up ac-
cording to the usual style for roof
gardens, with n balustrade running
around the entire roof which may in
time be overgrown with vines. There
will be seats and tables and other con-
veniences. and in addition to its social
uses, this would be a grand place for
open air sleeping in the good old sum-
mer time.
