An hour later she was on her way
to town to make her selection and or
der her suit She had declined to try
the one until the Other had been sent
up, week later. Then she came
proudly down the front steps for the
benefit of Dudley and her father,
feather and gun at exactly the dashing
angle, and beamed frank satisfaction
at them from pose on the graveled
walk
Come on, Dud" And so volatile

mot much!" Penny called back
a parting jab. for her father contended
that no bull, properly treated. need
be considered dangerous, and daily
arguments on that point had left him
sensitive.
Penny fired her first shot, then sat
down on a log, hand against her
right shoulder, her face dubious.
"It's-very loud" she said. Did I
hit anything?"
you will do splendidly when you
learn not to shut your eyes," said Dud-
ley, happy in the correct placing Of
her hard. little, sun-browned hands. "A
little nearer this time. Ready?" Pen
ny rose to a second attempt. and at a
third began to show enthusiasm. BY
the end of an hour she could almost
hit things" as she proudly explained
to her father
you will be glad of It yet" she
told him. Some day l may save your
life!"
"Hm!" said Mr.. Mixter II hope
you lock the dogs up when you go
out"
Penny's Workmanship improved so
rapidly that presently she began to go
out shooting by herself, course which
Dudley opposed with outward disinter-
estedness and inner chagrin. II seemed
impossible to get any hold on this

find out from the inside the meaning
of many old, familiar phrases. among
them the psalmist's sick of love-"
Three times he grimly mounted his
horse and rode over to take his refusal
and say good-by. The third time she
had last been seen going OF to the
woods with her gun, and he set out on
foot after her, determined that an,
other sun should not 60 down on his
misery of false hope.
He found her sitting on a stump
with her gun across her knees. rage in
her face; at q little distance, cowed,
humble, but as determined as herself,
crouched Ra1ah.

II started to shoot, and l am going

cleared. Il tell you--you take Rajah

pause. Perhaps he believes you

actions. ] know have been trying to

again, If you tell me to-"
Penny appeared to be considering.
I'D rather have you than Rajah,"
she finally decided; but If you stay,
! he will. Do take him down, like a good
soul"
Dudley turned and strode away, pre-
senting a stiffened back Rajah, read
ing purpose in his gait, rose and fol-
lowed of his own accord. and Penny
was left free to go on with her sport;
but the woods sent forth no echoes.
Dudley stayed away three days.
Then, after packing his belongings and
making the farewell arrangements his
dignity demanded, he rode over to say
good-by. No one was about so he sat
on the steps In the late afternoon sun
light and waited.
Presently a shot sounded family
from the direction of the pasture. FIJI
teen minutes later Penny came across
the lawn. a pale Penny, walking with
shaky bravado, her gun still at the
sporting angle. but the arm that held
1t there visibly unsteady.
She smiled brightly at Dudley, then
sat down on the steps as though her
knees had been abruptly withdrawn.

with laugh that was half gasp. I've
proved my point about the bull, any
way; he's a dangerous beast. Also.

gun across her knees. and, seeing how
her hands were betraying her, thrust
them behind her back.

Penny looked for all the world like
she'd lost her last friend.

.FLESHY MAN SPENT
ELEVEN HOURS IN SHAFT

George Shea, an eastern mining
man, was held a prisoner for eleven
hours in a Goldfield mine few days
ago. He was inspecting the under
ground workings on a lease on the
Florence, when the electric power
line supplying the Goldfield district
was broken, and all power was shut
off. After Shea had inspected the
mine he was astonished to learn that
there was no electric power to hoist
him to the surface. Shea's compan-
ions climbed the ladder in the shaft
but Shea being portly person of
some 800 pounds, found 1t impos-
sible to follow their example. Sew
eral expedients were tried in an eff
fort to get the chagrined visitor to
the surface, but all failed, and it was
found necessary to leave him at the
bottom of the shaft, until the break,
which was sixty miles away, was re-
paired and the power turned on
again. Victuals and bedding were
lowered to Shea and after eleven
hours of Imprisonment he was hoist
ed to the surface

BIG WINNING OVER
THE GAMING TABLE

There is no such thing as blue
Monday for Joe Watkins. This morn
ing Joe had $3.50 in his pocket. He
courted the tickle goddess at the

the crap table. He then began to
plunge and after few more throws
was making 500 bets. The stacks
on his side of the line kept on in
creasing and scarcely throw went
against him. When he had stacked
up the $500, he took $4,000 and
put it in the bank, and went home
with the rest.
When Joe went down town this
morning, he had Monday morning
taste, suspender buckle and two
collar buttons.
He stood by the crap table in the
Northern watching a man play. The
man carried more than he was
guaged for and played recklessly, al
lowing his bets. to ride time and
again. But still luck was with him
and he won steadily. Joe wanted to
follow him and digging deeper into
his pockets to his delight unearthed
the $3.50. 1t had been overlooked
in the early morning inventory. He
cautiously laid two-bit piece on the
line 1t won and he allowed 1t to
ride. 1t won again. He took the
money up and began following the
drunk on the field and the siX-eight.
Time and again he won. The drunk
left, but still Joe won and the ben
evolent man with the apron was kept
busy pushing the cash across the
green.
The fireworks began when he
started to shoot the 500 bets. An
open mouthed crowd surged about
the table and the boss was standing
by, picking his teeth and trying not
to look anxious. He played the field
and the six-eight and he broke even.
But most of the time it was the field.
The five seemed to have been rubbed
off the dice Several times the tide
turned and he lost heavily on doub-
ling his bets, but the dice always fell
right again and the cash rack began
to look like a cadaver just ready to
come off the board. Watkins showed
an almost uncanny knowledge of just
how the dice were going to roll. Five
times straight he dropped stack
on the come, after the line had been
winning time and again.
Unlike others who win fortunes in
this way, Joe has no desire to end
up in a blaze of glory with his new
winnings. He has some modest plans
about what he will do with 1t, but
most of it will stay planted until he
sees the one best bet.
I'm not a gambler" he said, land
| always play for the fun of 1t; not
to make money. But, of course,
when it comes across this way, l
don't shove it back I'm going to
have a good sleep now.'

MOHAWK COMBINATION IS
HOSTING $45O,OOO MONTHLY

The Mohawk Combination Lease
company is opening up the great bo-
nanza workings ETAOIN SHRRDL
nanza ore bodies that have been I'M
covered in the Sheets-Ish and Kalfus
workings, as fast as force of 1876
men can do it. Every day is pro-
ducing more evidences of the eX-
IRENE richness of the veins. During
the last week free gold in large
quantities has been found in the pay
rock. This is new feature and
particularly agreeable samples run
ming up into the thousands.
The daily output of the combined
leases is close onto 200 tons day
and this is being increased steadily,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
majority of the miners are engaged
in development work. Manager Mil
ton C. Ish says he expects to begin
heavy production in the early fall
and intimates that when production
begins in earnest, the output will
surprise everybody. The value of
the daily output at present is con-
servatively estimated at $4,000 or
$450,000 month, but that this will
be doubled within the next thirty or
sixty days, there can be little doubt.
The ore is all being taken out, for
the present, through the incline shaft
on the old Kalfus lease, but the
Sheets-Ish vertical shaft may be used
for hosting the pay rock before
many weeks. AT present time the
vertical shaft is being completed and
when connections with the lower
workings of the Kalfus are complet-
ed, 1t will be used for hosting waste
and lowering timbers.
The big ledge, which dips to the
east has been cut during the last
week, in the Kalfus vertical shaft, at
depth of 275 feet 1t has already
been penetrated for distance of 16
feet and the footwall is not yet in
sight. The ore assays $50 ton, and
is being piled for hosting without
sorting. The incline shaft is still
in ore and may be continued down
further and a drift run to connect
with the vertical haft.-Goldfield

But Time himself had no soft job
To land the punch on Lanky Bob.

Where ex-champions sleep,
And they call 1t the has-been place,
Poor old Sullivan's there,
And the big Peter Maher,
And some others who dropped in the

But they faded away,
And they couldn't keep up with the

Cannot side step the swat

ground and two others were scorch-
