Diaries That Conform.
DIR, DoTY RENOMINATED.
May Serve Another Term as Health
Officer of Port of New York.

ALBANY, February 6.-Gov Hughes has
sent to the senate the nomination
of DIR. Alvah H Doty of New York as
health officer of the port of New York.
DR.. Doty has served in this position fur
ing the terms of all the republican gov
ernors from Morton's time in 1895. The
governor said that the disappointment was
justified by his efficient services" The
salary of this health Office is $4,000 and
the term of Office is four years.
In announcing DR.. Doty's appointment
Gov. Hughes issued a statement in which
he said:
Previous to his appointment the quar-
antine regulations had been managed in
such way that New York city was often
threatened with contagious diseas
brought in through the port. DR.. Doty' s
knowledge of the management of infec-
tious, and quarantinable diseases has pre-
vented the recurrence Of such dangers. BY
virtue OF his Office the health officer is a
member of the board of health of New
York city, and in this capacity DR. Doty
has rendered valuable services."

Father and Bride-to-Be Depart While
Guests Wait

SPEAR FISH, S. D., February 6.-Mss
Jessie Mcfarland came to South Dakota
several years ago. Edwin Jenkins, who
lived with his father, Charles in the hills
south of here, met and fell in love with her
short time ago. He paid court to her as
siduously and finally won her consent to
become his wife. Meantime the young
mans father had also met and fallen in
love with Miss Mcfarland.
Miss Mcfarland and Edwin Jenkins made
all arrangements for wedding, which was
set for Monday evening at o'clock. Young
Jenkins was on hand at the appointed hour
and so were few guests, but Miss McFar-
land did not appear. Late in the afternoon
she and Charles Jenkins, who was widow
er, had set out together for the east and
it is supposed that they have been married
by this time.

cious enough to pick 1t out from among it's
companions and attach It to a few feet Of
No. 12' and a properly graduated relay
would find the rest of his task astoundingly
easy. AS Durkin had pointed out, already
knowing what they did, the one great prob
lem lay in getting unsuspected into the
third floor room Of that wooden Leeksville
hotel.
With a jointed split-bamboo ashing-pole,
neatly done up in parasol cover, and with
her complete overlapping outfit as neatly
packed away in a dress-suit case, Frances
Gambler ten hours later registered at that
ancient and misunderstanding hosiery. A
weary and bedraggled theatrical company,
which had just made the late Jump" from
Fredericksburg, preceded her, and she made
1t point to approach the desk at the heels
of half-a-dozen noisy chorus girls.
There she asked for a top-hoor room.
The over-gallant clerk insisted that she
should go anywhere but on the top floor
There would be no difference in the cost of
the rooms to her. He would make that. in-
deed, personal matter.
But I prefer the top floor" she main
tanned, biting her lip and giving no other
sign of her indignation.
The clerk insisted that the climb would be
too much for her; and most of the floor, he
explained. was given over to the servants.
She began to despair.
But I sleep lightly-and I must have
SeculSlOn!
The perturbed clerk protested that in
Leeksville noises were unknown by day,
much less by night. A circle of rotunda
idlers now stood behind her, taking in the
scene. A flash Of inspiration came to her.

she cried, impatiently. Cant you see I've
got asthma!
And the angry and asthmatic woman in
the heavy veil was finally surrendered to the
loneliness and discomfort of her southwest
corner room on the barren and carpetless
third floor
There she quietly unpacked her suit case,
jointed her pole of split bamboo attached
and graduated her relay, and fingered noise
lessly through the tangle of wires beneath
her window for that one and essential
thread of metal along which was to flash
New Orleans and Washington.
There. hour after hour, she sat and waited
and watched; and it was late in the next
morning that, white and worn out, she de-
tached the unobseryed wire, hurried off her

up to her room, and even before undressing
fell into long and restless slumber.
That day. in her narrow little corn-husk
bed, she dreamed that she and Durkin had
tunneled under the Potomac river and had
carried away the last ounce Of gold from
the United States treasury. How many mil
lions they had taken it was beyond them
even to count. But she knew they were es-
Gaping in submarines and were being

CHAPTER KIN.

AZ result Of her midnight conference
with Durkin. Frences Gambler learned many
things. One Of these was the fact that the
life into which she had flung herself was
proving captor that already threatened to
extort cruelty impossible ransom. An
other was the discovery that Durkin stood
even deeper than she did in those conspira-
torial Qufcksands from which she tore one
limb only to be engulfed by another. For
all along. she saw, he had been a quiet and
observant intrigant, conspiring against a
new field Of activity toward which she had
not even thought to glance.
For after that hurried midnight talk she
knew that the Secretary of Agriculture. at
washington. from time to time received
sealed mail reports from the south as to the
condition of the cotton crop. She also
learned that there had been a series of
startling and disastrous leaks from these
private wire now connected the Office of the
department with Savannah and New Or
leans. Durkin had already ascertained that
over this wire, on the last day. or the last
market day, of each month, until the
leakage had been stopped, would pass those
dispatches and figures on which the Depart
ment of Agriculture would verify and base
It's monthly report of the cotton outlook.
That system is going to be kept up"
Durkin had explained to her. until the
Secretary finds out who is stealing the fig
ures and doing the manipulating on them in
the New York cotton exchange. At any
rate, 1 know he's gong to keep this wire in
use until the decent brokers stop lombard

kilograms about collision and fraud. But

news of shortage, it's as plain as day
that Curry and all the other New York
bears will have a lever to pry up the price

had asked.

Her instructions were brief, but explicit
While he waited in New York, ready to act
on word from her, she was to hurry to
Washington, and from Washington go on to
the somnolent little Virginia town of Leeks-
vile. This town, Durkin had already made
sure, lay on the route of the Department
of Agriculture's New Orleans wire.
On the main street of the little town
through which this wire ran stood a ram
