the parallel rays of the sum- low down the western

men, animals, and other objects. AS the screen of
mist which these shadows projected changes
its position in the varying currents of air. the weird
sun silhouettes seem to be endowed with motion,

nected with this narrative
two more gentlemen mentioned herein
had occasion to use the telegraph lines
vigorously.
The first was the Hon. Mr.. Franz
Kinwait. member Of tho upper hous'
of the Texas legislature and chairman
Of the state improvement committed
thereof. Contrary to Mr.. Renwyck''
positive statement the distinguished
legislator had not gone back to Aus
tin. Instead he had quietly stopped
over In Washington. held close com
munication with several mighty Off
cials, then wired frantically to his
most trusted lieutenant. the vice chair
man Of the state improvement commit
tee at Austin, In a cipher code. These
COMMUNICATIONS were imperative or
ders concerning the passage Of a Ger
tain deep water harbor bill.
The Hon. Mr.. Kinwait while In New
York had held several conferences OF
. delicate nature. including that lunch
con at Sherry's and other meals of q
similar character elsewhere. and now
deemed II expedient to be far away
from the capital Of Texas during the
passage of the said harbor bill; there
fore he gave the matter absent treat
ment, so to speak, though his meek as
sociates on the committee carried out
their leaders instructions to the let
ter. They had enjoyed no dinners In
New York, but they were confident in
d certain hope OF at least partaking OF
the dessert vicariously through Mr.
Kinwait.
The other person interested In teleg-
raphy was the heavy hearted Mr.. Bill
Williams, himself en- route for New
York Half day before he reached
Buffalo he received a dispatch from
his son Richard, and for quarter Of
an hour be was radiantiy happy; then
he received second one couched IN
the same words, and II puzzled him
especially In the earnest warning tc
return TO Texas at once and watch his
harbor scheme. At Buffalo he received
. sheaf Of yellow envelopes which re-
ssmbied tine poker hand. in that
there were four OF them-all Of the
same kind.

father wired all the hospitals In New
York for Information and lost three
hours time In waiting for answers
He received a number OF replies from
