The announcement of the dowager

CHAPTER II.-Continued.

"ITe was to have been home by
noon." she said, land l have been
standing here two hours. Sailboats
are trcacherous, and Harry is SO reck-
less. ALL"
The ejaculation was one Of relief, as
white sail appeared and headed for
the slip.
I'm coming to see you," I called, as
We walked on, but the conclusion was
forced upon me that she had forgotten
my existence.
why do you suppose they use that
'orlorn little Slip" l inquired, when
there are plenty of good landing
places further on?"
But the subject did not seem to
interest Elizabeth, whom I had ad-
dressed, for she merely remarked with
sigh:
II Just hate to go back to that old
hotel"
But Of course we could never rent
the cottage" said Gabrielle, the pru-
dent
ooh, of course mott" we agreed,
and assembled the steps of the hotel
in gloomy silence.
In the hall there were mountains of
trunks. covered with a bewildering
quantity of labels, and a subdued air
of excitement prevailed, indicating
that the new arrivals were worthy of
consideration. AS soon as possible
We investigated the register and found
that Lord Wilfrid and Lady Filth
Campbell of London, England, were
enjoying the hospitality of the house.
1t was no use pretending that we
were not impressed, for we were. and
we read the names over several times
aloud to see how they sounded. 1t
was our first encounter with British
aristocracy outside of books, and we
hurried upstairs to make fresh tJilets
m their honor.
They did not appear until We had
nearly finished dinner, and we we're
so interested watching FIR them that
we forgot to complain about the pod.
Lord Wilfrid was disappointing, al
though he had the dropping blonde
mustache and bored manner we were
familiar with on the stage. I say this
frankly, because we learned latsr that
we had been unjust and that his I'M
prepossessing appearance was simply
the result of unrequited affection,
which, OF course, went very hard
with one who was accustomed to hav-
ing the world at his feet-especially
the feminine world.
Lady Edith told us all about 1t after
we got to know her very well, and
explained that they had come to this
quiet retreat, where they were sure to
meet no one, to allow her brother to
regain his usual poise before visiting
their uncle, the governor general of
Canada. She added that the length
Of their stay depended upon the ben
eft he derived from 1t, and hoped we
would do what we could toward d.
,erting him. We said we would.
OF course all this happened quite
naturally as time went on, and / only
mention 1t here to show how wrong 1t
is to Judge by appearances, for we
thought Lord Wilfrid looked i'll
natured and grumpy. whereas he was
really suffering from broken heart.

Gabrielle murmur: 1.-The daughter

swept through the doorway, and Eliza

the somewhat dingy menu.

was so absorbed in wondering whether
the ripples of her golden hair were
natural or acquired that forgot
everything else; but when we met her
the next day and felt the charm of her
personality was ready to swear that
everything about her was genuine.
So absorbed were we that evening
in discussing the brother and sister
that we almost forgot the cottage;
but l saw Elizabeth bUsily engaged
with pencil and paper as we were pre-,
pairing for bed. and was not altogether
surprised to hear her voice from the
next room after the lights were out.
IF we got competent woman who
would do our washing" she remarked
ut would not be much more expensive
than staying here. have calculated
everything"
But we could never find such a
woman" Gabrielle said, interested
but incredulous.
"The old man said his sister would
come" returned Elizabeth. "Of course
did not engage her, but know where
to find her."
The next day we rented the cottage
engaged the competent woman, and
notified the clerk at the hotel that our
rooms would be at his disposal at the
end of the week.

CHAPTER M,

We saw good deal of the Camp
bells-or at least of Lady Edith
during the following week. She was
unquestionably lovely, from the crown
of her golden head to the tip of her
dainty shoe, and, moreover, was en-
dowei with that most enviable gift
called personal magnetism; her smile
was a caress, and the infection % her
voice implied unqualified pleasure in
the society of the person whom she
happened to address.
We took her to the cottage, and
she went over it with genuine interest,
suggesting slight rearrangement Of
furniture, and lingering on the YER
anda as though reluctant to leave.
81 quite envy you," she said, with a
trace Of sadness In her voice. You
will be so cozy up here, and-the
hotel Is horrid, is 1t not?"
You must come and see as very
often" said Elizabeth, and Gabri-
ellie and echoed the invitation Gag
erly.
How good of you!" she replied.
IT shall be only too glad to come. And
l may bring Wilfrid sometimes? We
are both rather forlorn strangers In
a strange land, you know"
We FASTENED to say we would be de-
lighted to see Lord Wilfrid at any
time. and Elizabeth, who had volun-
teered to keep house, added that tea
would be on tap every afternoon and
guests very welcome.
So we took possession OF the cot
tage On the bluff and settled down for
long, lazy summer.
1t was nice. That first evening as
we sat on the veranda after our COM

Some Encouraging Items in

W. Lester Mangum, general manager
Of the Tintic Smelling company, was
in Salt Lake from Provo Monday on
business connected with the Knight in
terests. Mr.. Mangum was reminded Of
the rumor which was current in this city
Saturday TO the effect that the knight
smelter would start up this week. He
said:
During the shutdown we have been
making some slight alterations to the
furnaces, and as this work is all done
do not believe il will be long before
we are smelling ores again. l am only
waiting for the arrival Of Mr., Vivian,
who is expected here from the north at
any time. to determine the date OF re-
sumption. But right now l am unable
to give you any definite day
Mr. Mangum states that In the face
of the north drift in the Beck Tunnel
territory some good lead orc is appear
ing, and may mako into n characteristic
shoot OF ore But he does not want to
say that this particular find will open
into an ore body tor the reason that
several times such developments have
the fruit expected, The present indlca.
tions. however, are favorable. Mr..
Mangum states he learned Sunday night
that on the 700-foot level of the Iron
Blossom a mineral stain was making its

MORE MINERS PLACED
At WORK IN LUDWIG
General Manager 0rem Adds TO
Force as Developments De-
mand Same.

General Manager Walter c.. Orem OF
the Nevada Douglas company is back at
MS desk after spending a week in the
mine at Yerington Mr.. Orem reports
that, the south drift on the 550-foot
level, which is continually adding to
the extent along the strike OF the noted
chalcocite ore body, is still in ore, the
last car sample from the drift run
nlng l6.l per cent copper. A new
wlnze has been started from point
close TO the present face of this drift,
and Will make connections ultimately
with the drifts on the CSC. foot level.
On the 650foot level the management
IS drifting south on both the ore bod.
les. The east vein has been crosscut
for thirty feet, the west vein for TWEEN,
ty-flve feet, with no end of ore in
either yet. The two drifts have gone
something like forty feet SO far from
the point where the crosscuts were
driven. Mr.. Orem states that every
thing points TO these two ore bodies
eventually merging into one, and
crosscut sent from the two south drifts
at their present faces would in. all prob
ability be in ore al the way across.
although the two bodies are 100 feet
apart, This work will be watched close.
" in local circles. The developments on
the 600 foot level of late have doubled
the tonnage of the Ludwig, and the
possibilities are still more vast.
MIR. Orem states the company has
materially increased its working force.
and in every way tho outlook is
extremely encouraging.
