It would be great joke on Senator
Hepburn if the members of this
legislature would take his advice
when they meet in Boise and conclude
that the convention made a mistake
when they pledged the members to
the senator and vote for Barney
O'Neil to take his seat in the United
States senate. It is said that
Barney has been casting a wistful
eye towards Senator Heyburn's place
in the senate for several years and
during the campaign and since. he
has been busy investigating matters
with view of securing this place if
he had anything like an equal break
towards getting it.

The season of the year for annual
settlements is now at hand and it ap-
plies to the printing and publishing
business, as we'll as to other lines of
trade. Get in touch with the spirit
of the times, and don't let the sun 60
down on what has been most pros
porous and goodly year with any ac-
count uncancelled. And above and
beyond all. don't forget the news
paper man whose demands are
scattered here and there, and
although Individually are com
prehensively small, in the aggregate
make up sum of considerable i'm
portance and embody power for the
accomplishment Of many things that
the publisher hopes to do in coming
days. The paper has come forward
with regularity of the weeks, it has
chronicled everything in the local
armament worthy of accepsation; it
has, in short. given not 80 and 90,
but 100 fold fore the outlay. Now
get busy this month in recommending
the publisher for his efforts in your
behalf in the past sos days

Agreat many newspapers through
out the state are advising the mem
bers Of the coming Legislature tc
break the party pledge made dureing
the campaign, stating that the party
made some mistakes in their plat
form and that it would be better for
the party to repudiate them than it
would to enact them into law. I'm
les this Legislature proves to be
different from the past, on all this
advice is unnecessary, as they will
break the pledges without any adj
vice from any one.

The rumble preceding "the
doing" at Boise this winter is now
heard in the distance. All sorts of
rumors are afloat concerning what
is likely to happen when the legis-
lators-elect arrive upon the scene
of action. Every wise one has a
story of what he knows is likely to
happen. Chief in point of interest
| is the senatorial election. There
are rumors that Hepburn is to be
handed a bunch. that the legisla-
/ tors-elect will construe bis Boise
speech literally to mean that as he
does not respect nomination at
their hands. that they can advise
but not instruct him. they will not
be in duty bound to respect the
nomination made by the Boise
convention. Meanwhile, the merry
war over the spoils of Office goes
on. There are many applicants
for each job. consequently there
uapy disappointments and
heart-burnings. 1t is hope that
the party will be true to its plat
form and not attempt to juggle
Legislation as was the case at the
last session. Taking everything
into consideration. much good
should result to the state from the
coming session.

The chilly winter days have come,
the football seasons DER, the high
school boys can study now, for they
can play no more; then put the pig
skin in its case, let the barber cut his
hair, hang up the dinkey padded
pants that Willie used to wear. No
more they'll form flying wedge to
split the others up, no more their arms
and legs will be swclled like poison

the street with noses spread around,
no more they'll fracture several
ribs, colliding with the ground. They
now can talk United States instead

They can master vulgar fractions

Where this one came from, Mr..
Isaacstein."
Philip smiled. He could not tell how
it happened, but he felt he was
the intellectual superior of the
man who sat there glowering at him so
intently. Already the boy began to
grasp dimly the reality of the power
which enormous wealth would give
him. Such people as the Jew and his
satellites would be mere automata in
the affairs of his life, important
enough in sense. with the Importance
of a stamp for a letter or a railway
ticket for journey, but governed and
controlled utterly by the greater per-
sonage who could unlock the door Of
the treasure house. For the first time,
Philip wished he was older, bigger.
more experienced. He even found him
self beginning to wonder what he
should do until he reached mans es-
tate. He sighed.
Isaacstein was watching him closely.
trying to solve the puzzle by the aid
of each trick and dodge known in Il
trade which lends itself TO acute
roguery of every description. The look
of unconscious anxiety. of mental wea-
riness on Philips face, seemed to
clear away his doubts. He chuckled
thickly.
How many, now" he murmured.

Ten, twenty-of assorted sizes, eh?"
Far more, Far more, Be content
with what 1 tell you today, Mr. Isaac
stein. l said my business was i'm
portant. When you are better ac-
quainted with me. 1 think you will find
1t sufficiently valuable to occupy the
whole of your time"
Philip was ever on the verge of
bursting out into condolences. His Sc
cret was too vast, too overpowering
for boy of Is. He wanted the knowl-
edge and the trust of an older man.
He did not realize that the Jew, begin
ming by regarding his as thief, was
now veering round to the opinion that
he was lunatic. For it is known to
most men that the values of diamonds
Increase out of all proportion to their
weight. While a one-carat stone is
worth, roughly speaking. 10 pounds. a
tWenty-carat gem of the same purity
is worth any sum beyond 1000 pounds
and the diamond Philip has submitted
for inspection would probably cut into
ten or twelve carats of fine luster. To
speak, therefore, of an abundance of
larger and finer stones. was a simpl'-
abSurdity. The De Beers company
alone could use such a figure of speech.
and even then only at isolated dates
in its history.
The boy with his eyes steadfastly
fixed on the Jews face and yet with
distant expression in them that paid
slight heed TO the waves of emotion eX-
hibited by the heavy checks and
pursed-up mouth. awaited some final
utterance on the part of his questioner
Surely he had said sufficient to make
this man keenly alive to the CONNER

cial value of the business he Of
fered. Under the conditions Isaac
stein would not refuse to give him suf-
ficient money to meet his immediate
wants.
The Jew, seemingly at a loss for
words, bent again over the stone. He
was scrutinizing it closely when a
heavy tread crossed the outer show
room and the door was flung open.

bounced out of his chair.

Mr. Isaacstein knows what he is
about. and l don't suppose he is very
far wrong this time. Do you know the
boy, sir?" he went on.
Isaacstein gave a voluble and accu-
rate summary of Philips statements.
Each moment the policeman's grip be-
came f1rmer. Evidently the boy was
the mere agent of gang of thieves.

Il merely wish to put my hand n my
pocket. Are you afraid of me, that you
hold me so fast?"
The policeman. like the rest. did not
fail to notice Philips diction. The
scornful superiority of his words, the
challenge of the final question. took
him aback. He relaxed his grip and
grinned confusedly.
Philip instantly produced his paper
of diamonds and opened it widely, 50
that all the stones could be seen. He
handed the parcel to the policeman.
Take good care of them, constable"
he said. Judging from results, they
would not be safe in that mans hands"
But Isaacstein did not hear the in
suit. When he saw the collection he
nearly lost his senses. What had he

policeman was astounded, quite as
founded. quite as much at being called

appearance of articles presumably of
great value.
This is a rum go. What do you
make of il, Mr.. Isaacstein?" he said.
The query restored the Jews wits.
After all, here was the law speaking.

Philip listened to the recital in DUMB

his eyes glowed with the rage and
shame that filled his soul. So the Jew
had been playing with him. merely

should rend his secret from him. With
sudden glow of fiery satisfaction, he
remembered that his clothing contained
no clew to his address, and he had not
given his name either at Ludgate Hill
or Hatton Garden. How long could
they keep him a prisoner? Would
others find his meteor and rob him of
his mothers gift? In less than a fort
night men would come to tear DOWN
the buildings in Johnson's News. Wen,
il mattered not. The courage OF de-
spair which nerved him the previous
night came to his aid again. He would
defy them all, careless of consequence.
The policeman was saying:
