 A screaming treble brought him back suddenly:

 The running of heavy feet set the place a-tremble again. Somewhere without the changing and whistling of a fire engine seemed to haunt Hanford. From closing eyes he saw blue helmet and blue uniform in the doorway, and second and third. He saw the ieeting vision of A swinging nightstick, heard the crack as 1t met Henckel's head and the crash of his body as he fell; heard. too, the clattering and clinking of money when the cash-box struck the floor and broke open.

 Not many seconds later he pulled open one of the small drawers and ex- tracted the revolver, hypoth etical pro- tector of the safe. in the year of his incumbency he had never even han died the weapon before.

 In a twinking his arm was seized and dragged through! He tried to wrench 1t free and could not. He reached for the revolver and thrust 1t through the open ing and into Henckels face. The man cried out and lodged and his grip re- faxed.

 In d matter of fifteen minutes the ex- citement was entirely passed.
 Bergman and Hencke and Schmidt had been subdued. Hanford saw that when things became cleare. The little Dutch man was gone.

 At interminable intervals word came from the operating room. The specialist was through his work; the child had every chance for recovery.

 Cardinal Gibbons the venerable head of the Catholic church in America, is one of the most democratic men in the country. He also enjoys good joke, even when told at his own expense. He once re- lated how a Baltimore newspaper man who may have been more jealous in Journalism than learned in religion called at the Cardinals house one day to ask Mis- Eminence for information concern ing some church matter.

parties that will develop 1t.
The Banks brothers and James
Calvert have made a new strike on
what is supposed to be the same lead
as the Lottie mines. They have al
six-foot ledge of silver and lead that
runs very high in both metals. The
ledge crops out and shows strong for
5000 feet or more. They are devel-
oping it with a good force and now
have out a car or more of rich ship
ping ore. They expect this property
to pay all expenses from the grass
roots.
The Lucky John, a short distance
from the Banks and Calvert claims,
is considered a big copper and silver
proposition.
The citizens of Luning are 10 ar
ranging to put a road through to the
Aulga and Blue Light mines. which
will bring those mines within eight
miles of the railroad, where now
they are hauling sixteen miles.
This will be a big thing for both
the mines and Luning, also for the
Garfield. All of these mines have a
large force of men at work and are
taking out shipping ore.
With all these mines surrounding
Luning, besides many that are no,

that in the near future a smelter viii

"The people in Greenwater. said
Mr.. Grady, ''are a little encouraged
over the late developments in the
Greenwater Copper King. They have
tunnelled in from the Death Valley
side and are in $50 feet, where they
have struck rich sulphide ore. The
find gives them a covering of $50
feet, and everything looks most prom

are down 500 feet. They have cross
