Rise in Real Estate Since the
recent fire real estate in the up
per part of Main street has
greatly risen in value. Owners
of late which have heretofore
lain idle and neglected are grad
ing out, fencing in and prepar-
ing them for the erection of
buildings when lumber can be
obtained. The number of fire.
proof buildings in this locality
render lots for building on es-
pecially desirable in this portion
of the town.
Bowery This mine has re-
sumed work on the old ground,
and is drifting west at a depth
of fifty-three feet from the sur
face. This work was commenced
in the early part of the past
week, and the indications for the
finding of a large body of ore
are are very promising at pres
ent. The north drift in the new
ground is now in a distance OF
sixty feet from the bottom Of
the new shaft. The mill has
been shut down for the past
week on account of building the
foundation for the new furnace,
but will start up again in few
days.
Spring Mountain Tunnel The
drift from the station in the
Wine is now in a distance OF
sixteen feet. Have just com.
menced running a drift west
from the station. Good ore
shows throughout the ledge in
both drifts. The winze is now

which prompts us to conceal our
wounds.
The telephone bell in the hall rang
out sharply. There was little pause
and then 1t rang again--a loud. i'm.
patient ring. But she did not move;
she sat with clasped hands, her eyes
staring vacantly towarc the hall.
They wanted to tell her of his death.
She would not let them. She knew
it already, she would not hear 1t put
into words.
The bell rang again and yet again
with angry persistency, and she lis
tened with curious sense of defiance
When at length 1t ceased she pictured
them bringing him home to her-still
and lifeless, and so piteously cold.
A sickening wave of remorse swept
over her. Oh, that she might kneel
beside him and kiss his hands--the
hands at which In her heart she had
SO often sneered. What IL they were
large and thick and awkward-they
We're kindly, honest hands, and now,
perhaps, they were burned al d crushed

have chance to atone, to make some
restitution for all these years OF cold
ness and indifference. And II had

creature-thing should suffer. whose
heart went out to every friendless dog,
to every poor old dray horse-yet to
this man, this kindly, simple man who
loved her, she had been without pity.
She slipped down on her knees be.

prayer-those half.formed, incoherent
sentences that she murmured. 1t had
been years since she had prayed; but
now she was following the primitive
instinct that is In us all--the seeking
of some supreme power in the moment
! of greatest need.
A long time she knelt there, only
vaguely conscious that the chair arm
was pressing painfully against her
cheek and that her nervous, trembling
hnsers were tearing the braid OF the
upholstery.
There was loud closing of door,
and the sound of steps in the hall be-

She stood up straight and still. The
steps came nearer Now they were
on the stairs. Amid the whlrl of
emotions that swept over her, she was
clearly conscious of but one thing
a desire to escape, to gain time. The
reaction bad been too sudden. she

Smuggling Popular.

Smuggling is still fairly hourishing
industry in England. According to
the annual report, recently issued, of
the commissioners of customs for the
year ending last March, the number
of detected attempts to smuggIe duti-
able goods during the past year was
the largest recorded since 1895. The
quantities of tobacco, cigars and spir.
It's seized were less than in the pre-.
ceding year, but there was a consider
able increase in the number of seiz.
ures and of persons fined, says Home
Chat. Ne fewer than S,104 persons
were fined for smuggling. and the pen
alties recovered amounted to s21 900
The tobacco and cigars seized amount
ed to 11,223 pounds and the foreign
spirits to SO gallons.
