Chauvenet twisted his mustaehe re-
fectively. His mind had been busy
seeking means of turning the meeting
to his own advantage. He had met
Armitage at quite the least imaginable
spot in the world for an encounter be-
tween them. and he was not man
who enjoyed surprises. He had taken
care that the exposure of Armitage at
Washington should be telegraphed to
every part of the country and put upon
the cables. He had expected Armi-
tage to leave Washington, but he had
no idea that he would turn up at a
fashionable resort greatly affected by
Washingtonians and only compare

He was at great disadvantage in not
knowing Arnlitage's plans and strate-
gy. His own mind was curiously cum
ming and his reasoning powers travers-
ed oblique lines. He was thus prone
to impute similar mental processes to
other people, Simplicity and directness
he did not understand at all. He had
moderated Armitage's courage and
daring; he wished to make no further
mistakes, and he walked back toward
the hotel with apparent good grace.
Armitage spoke now in very different
key. and the change displeased Chau-
venet. for he much affected ironical
raillery. and his companions sterner
tones disconnected him.

RIO eRANOE ROAD
llNn6 NEW TRACKS

The Denver & Rio Grande has a
force of section men at work in the
western yards laying rails for the new
tracks, an item about which appeared
in these columns about three weeks
ago. The ties are steel and are on
the ground and part OF the passing
track has been laid. The Florence Z
Cripple Creek track will be relaid fur
ther north and the present line used
by the eastbound trains will be
brought closer to the depot There
will only be a distance of sixteen feet
between the eastbound and the west
bound tracks then.
One of the biggest forces of men
that has been employed hereabout for
months is now working and 1t is ex-
pected that the improvements will oc-
cupy about three weeks time. When
these tracks are laid the work of
handling the trains will be facilitated.
Freight trains that cannot make an
other switch on account of an incom-
ing or outgoing passenger train will
take the passing track and after the
passenger train starts on its way, the
freight will proceed to its destina-
tion.-Florence Tribune.

The Beaa Beetle.

Many inquiries are being receiyedin
regard to the littls reddish brown bee-
tie with small black spots upon It's
back that is now doing 80 much in
jury to the beans along the eastern
slope OF the Rocky Mountains-
The young OF larvae Of this beetle
are light yellow grubs covered with
spines that feed for the most part ON
the under side of the leaves Of the
bean.
The ordinary arsenical poisons are
not very effectual for the destruction
of this insect. and II applied too freely
are likely to kill the bean.
We have had best success in keep
ing this insect in check by simply
brushing the beetles and the larvae on
the plants upon the hot ground during
the warmest part of the day, from
about 1850 r. m. to 2:30 p. H. Very
few beetles will find their way back
to the plants.
1t is always we'll to go through the
bean fields before these beetles become
abundant for the purpose of crushing
as many as possible OF the adult in
sects before they lay their eggs. II
the eggs have been deposited upon the
leaves, they should also be destroyed.
This is a very serious enemy to tho
bean and It will likely do very serious
injury to the crop unless it is attended
to promptly when it first apears in the
field.
