You've never shown any special fond

That's right. But I've shown
punches Of unfondness for CHI, sty Dick
Horrigan. And Horrigar's the man
who's rushing the Borough bill through.
Lord. what bill! It's SO crooked that

"Howdy," returned Phelan. walking
over to the far end Of the office. where,
by falling into deep and admiring
study of n particularly atrocious por-
trait of some earlier mayor. he denoted
that he was temporarily out Of the
conversation.
"Ill come to the point at once, Mr..
Bennett" began Wainwright II call

railway bill.''

ed Bennett. II was going to call you
up this afternoon and ask your opinion
Of 1t. What do you think Of the meas

ed Phelan. addressing the portrait in
an aside that was perfectly audible.

turned Wainwright blandly. 81 am in

Phelan shot one keen glance Of in
credulity at the financier. then wheeled
about and resumed his rapt study of
the portrait.
"Yes." continued Wainwright, II ad-
NIT that my City Surface line is in a
way the rival Of the Borough Street
railway. but in big city like this
there's surely room for both lines to
carry on a prosperous business, so why
should they try to injure each other?"
why, oh, whyY' echoed Phelan,
again addressing the portrait. Can
be gettln' so old that I've begun hear
in queer things that's never said?"
Wainwright paid no heed to the in
terpolatiOn. but went on:
"Of course the franchise will be. u
good thing for the Borough road, but
it needn't hurt the City Surface line.
Besides, the passing Of the bill made
Borough stock rise from 63 to 81 Then

ed Phelan.
IT'S my mother. Show her in"
From the musty antechamber came
the rustic of feminine attire, and Mrs
Bennett came In. Devoted as he was
to his mother, Alwyn now had no eyes
for her, for over her shoulder he had
caught glimpse of another face.

Of the head, seemed trying to solve
some elusive problem. But Bennett,
who had not noted the brief scene be-
tween Thompson and the alderman,
broke In on the latter's musings with
the remark:
"You appeared to be amazed Mt Mr..

The Juniper Tree.

Mrs. Sadie Bowman Metcalfe's new play, the Juniper Tree, was produced by the Berkely Elks, on Ladies' Night, lone evening of last week, and met with instant success. The Courier, a dramatic paper of Berkely, gives the play high praise. Mrs. Metcalfe has long been known as a poetess of unus- ual ability, but heretofore confined her literary bent to short stories and poetry. Her many friends in Kingman will be pleased to learn of the success ful staging of her first play.

Someone at Parker has been impos- ing on the Associated Press with a story of the dramatic suicide of one Captain Charles Hartley, a topograph- ical engineer, who cast himself from a high bluff into the raging Colorado river, on account of unrequted love. Charles Hartley was section foreman on the Santa Fe at station east of Kingman, who drew his check from the company last Thursday and hied himself away to new fields without set ting up his indebtedness to the local merchants. It is thought that he was headed toward Parker and it may be possible that he projected his subcon- scious self to that burg several days ahead so that he could use this other self to make the dramatic getaway to the other world. But Hartley in the flesh is billed to arrive at some point to the south at later date and may bring his subconscious self back from the mud besmirched waters of the Col orado for future use.

Continuing his report, the Coroner
says:

quests are IN marked contrast TO those

stances require much more systematic
and searching investigation, wh.-h /
believe have been conducted satisfac-
torily to those directly concerned as
well as to the General Government"
There were sixty-siX suicides in the
District during the year, twenty by gun
shot wounds, sixteen by gas. eleven by
carbolic acid. two by hanging, and two
by opium poisoning. The violent deaths
numbered 221, Of which fifteen were in
