WENAICHEE
BRIDGE ATTIRE
CAME NEAR BEING BURNED
DOWN THIS MORNING.-HAS
BEEN AFIRE SEVEN TIMES.

The Wenatchee bridge caught afire
this morning for the seventh time.
This time it caught fire in the mid
die, and had it not been seen by DR..
L. E. Miller. in few minutes more
it would have been practically de-
stroyei.
This is the seventh time that it
has been afire," said DR.. Miller. Zone
time it was near one end and the
other times it was near the middle. "
DR.. Miller ascribes the cause to
cigars which are carelessly thrown
on the bridge He believes that signs
should be put up on the ends of the
bridge forbidding the throwing of CT
gar stubs on the bridge. This would
call attention of the public to the
danger.
The doctor states that while the
railroad runs by the end of the
bridge that the fires catch near the
middle, and he can not ascribe the
fires to be due to the engines.

matter, and has received SO much
encouragement that he has deter

"Just how much success I will
have remains to be seen," said Mr..
Holler yesterday. "But Hoquiam

Then he left the Chinese standing
among his shelves of curiOs, strange
smile creasing his yellow countenance.
Winston then made his way leisurely
back to the city gate, knowing that he
was followed by several 1.-THE, lodging
figures. He kept furtive watch, how
ever, and at last passed through the
gate unmoested and entered the car
rage which had waited for him. Dur
ing the ride he sat with folded arms
and thoughtful brow. Once he took
the green god out Of his pocket and
surveyed it lovingly.
Jack Winston had come into posses
sion of the green god some four years
before the occurrence of the events
related above. He had returned from
a stroll through the baZaars of the
old city. and as he entered the cool
veranda Of his bungalow he felt in
his pocket for his matchbox. He had
drawn forth the green god. Where
it came from. how 1t got there, he
never knew. He had found 1t there
after his return from the bazaar. and
as he looked at it curiously. examining
the delicate carving Of the hideous
face, he experienced feeling Of rare
exultation in it's possession. He could
not tell why he rejoiced at the dis
covery Of the god in his pocket. but
he was jealousy careful that no one
should know that he possessed it. He
carried it hidden away in an inner
pocket of his vest, and the small fiat

parted a feeling of utter satisfaction
with himself and the world. Then he
returned to America, and the first day
he was in San Francisco he had lost
it. 1t had disappeared from the curio
cabinet in his study, and the loss Of
it fell upon him like blow. He could
not have told what fascination it held
for him. He only knew that he want
ed it above all other things and that
possible, to recover 1t.
l will not relate what means he en-
ployed to trace the theft of the green
god. 1t is sufficient to say that he
traced it across the Pacific to Shang-
hal, followed it to the old city, down to
that little curio shop of Yung's, and
finally bought it back at an absurd
price. He could not prosecute the
thieves. for they were unknown to
him. and the impressive Yung was 81
lent regarding the manner in which it
had come into his possession. Winston
felt strange reluctance to admit his
possession of the god, and so he return
ed to America with the god securely
concealed in his belt There it had re-
manned for six months, and then one
day it disappeared again.
Drawn as by magnet across the
ocean to that little shop in old Shang-
hal again, Winston dropped his business
and again trailed the image to the
hands of Yung, paying an exorbitant
price for it, only to return to America
and lose it a third time.
For the third time he had recovered
his treasure, and now he Rugged it
lovingly to his breast and gloated over
it with the eye of lover. The dull
green stone seemed to glow with life
as he looked. A thousand glints of light
sprang from the carving He was still
staring at it when the carriage drew
up before the Shanghai club. He thrust
the image into his pocket and ran up
the steps and straight into the arms of
Miller.
Winston, by all that's good to look
upon.' exclaimed the latter heartily as
he wrung the hands of the tall Amer

face. He lifted his eyes with cum
ming CLEAN at Winston, and the feroc-
ity of the other mans glance startled
him to sudden gravity.
"Come, Winston" he shouted hoarse-
ly. Come with me, man." He turned
and dashed through the door and into
the street, closely followed by Win
stOn
Straight toward the river he hur-
ried, Winston at his heels, curiously
eager light in his eyes and one hand
grasping the revolver in his coat

Then they reached the Bund. and
Miller, turned. "Come on. Winstonr'
he cried again breathlessly, and to-
gether they strobe to the end OF the
long public wharf.
"What is it, you scoundrel? Give
me my god" shouted Winston amid
the clatter Of traffic and the chatter
of cody voices about them.
Miller's long arm shot upward, jerk
ed back and then forward. and the
jade god described a parabola in the
air and splashed duly into, the muddy
waters OF the Whangpo. AS the cir
cles widened and disappeared in the
flowing current Miller turned to Win
ston and thrust out his hand.
Forgive me, Jack" he said in tone
broken with emotion 81 did it for
both OF us. 1t would have ruined us
both in the end"
Winston's gaze had been riveted on
the spot where the jade god had dis
appeared. Now he turned his eyes to
Miller's. and there was certain light
Of understanding In them. He smiled
ruefu1ly and took the pro6ered hand.

Winston hung his head, and Ger
tain obstinate line deepened about his
mouth. Still he made no response
What is it, Jack?'
Winston paled at the emotion ex-
pressed in Miller's voice. He and Bob
Miller had been chums until-what
had come between them? He tried to
recollect that he had not thought of
old friends since-why, since the green
god had come into his possession the
first time!
He drew out handkerchief and
lifted it to mis- perspiring brow. As
be did so the little green god fell rat
Ting upon the polished floor.

down and picked up the image. He

glanced furtively around and then bent
his tall head and entered. A large Chi
neSe emerged from a curtained interior
and turned bland, unsmiling counte

roughly in English.
The man made no response. He
merely stared impassively into the face
Of the American.

his hand easily, and his long brown
fingers closed about it as he raised it
toward thu Chinese.
The man uttered frightened squeal
and lodged into the back room, with
Winston close upon his heels. He
crouched in a corner and fumbled at a
box.

sternly. Get up and answer my ques-
tiOn.'
Slowly the man arose. and this time

by an ugly grin that distended his
wide mouth from ear to ear. II don't

The man did not stir as he stood
there. The American slowly counted
the seconds that made the first min

to an expression Of cowardly fear, and
as Winston counted fifty seconds the
man darted down into the corner

tended an object toward the American.
