The soft reproof, more suggestive OF
tears than anger, brought the story
to his very lips. He wondered how
he should tell it. Then an old schoolboy
trick came back to him. He brought out
his penknife. Beside them was a little
spruce and in the soft, flaky bark he
carved a heart. Within it's lines he
dug deeply the initials of two people.
The girl caught her breath and blushed
a little, which are the proper and Gus
tomary things for a girl to do at such
a time.
Then he told her what was in his
mind. 1t left her little panic-stricken
and she took the refuge her sisters al
ways have taken-she asked him to
wait for his answer.
In such case there is but one thing
for the man to do, and that is to wait
until tomorrow. But when a man
is terribly in earnest he takes people
seriously.
When l see this carving of yours
again then we will talk about this,
Jack-if you still think this way"
She thought she was putting him
on a most proper probation. It was
only a womans reluctance to give up
her freedom.
But he took her at her word. Next
dav he wont away
Back In town again, at first he saw
her often. His restraint she imagined
was resentment. In November, a
month of storms and dreary skies,
they quarreled. That was six weeks
ago.
All that six weeks he pondered the
matter by lonely fires and over break,
fasts late and bad Then he resolved
to end the suspense and still keep his
word.
One day young man, whom the ma
tives were, satisfied was most GER
tainly insane, stepped off the trair
into a snowdrift. He wanted team
a guide, shovel and an Ak. AS he
had money and determination he go

Suicide of Man Who Shot the District Attorney in Court Furnishes a Second
 Sensation.
PISTOL WELL CONCEALED
May Have Had It in Shoe or It Was Given the Prisoner by His Wife, Who Visited Him in
 His Cell.

San Francisco Nov, 15 Francis J. Heney tonight is still making excel lent progress on the road to recovery from the bullet wound inflicted in Judge I.awlor's court room on Friday by Morris Haas, He passed q com fortable night, sleeping most of the time, and rested easily to-day
 Although the bullet has been found embedded in the left Jaw about one inch In front of the ear, the surgeons have decided not to extract 1t until MT, Heney gains more strength, The swell ing in the throat is less than at any time since the patient was taken to tho hospital, and he Is breathing nor mSlly.
 Mrs. Heney spent an hour to-day in the examination room of the hospl- al while the surgeons were removing grains of powder from her hpsband's face and head. When MT Heney was informed that his assailant, Haas, had taken his life at the county jail, he said Tt is too bad he did 1t before giving his reason for shooting me"
 The suicide of Haas was the subject of much discussion to-day, and the police were engaged in trying to as- certain how he was able to conceal the pistol with which he took his life Two theories were advanced. one was that he had the pistol hidden in his shoe from the time he attempted to kill MT, Heney, and that 1t was overlooked by the police The other theory tho one that the district att tornoys office holds, is that the pistol was passed to Haas while he was in conference with his wife and tho po- lice guard. Although Haas was in the county jail, he was in charge of the police department.
 IL is the intention to proceed to-mor- row with tho interrupted trial of Abra- ham Ruef MT Heneys place will be taken by Attorneys Matt L Sullivan and Hiram W. Johnson.

A STORY OF BOOTH.
How Edwin Booth in Dead of Night
 Burned His Brothers Costumes.

The November American Magazine contains an article by Otis Skinner, the actor, entitled 'The Last of John Wilkes Booth" It is the story of how Edwin Booth, in the dead of night, burned his brothers papers and cos tunes. The story was told to Otis skinner by Carrie Davidson, who was basket boy" in Booths theater in New York in the early '7O's,
 After narrating how Edwin Booth came into the possession of his broth er's effects after the assassination of Lincoln, Mir. skinner goes on to re- port what Davidson told him.
 Tt happened early in '7S. The day had been one of storm and drifting snow, one of those belated days in the year when winter forgets to become spring. Mr. Booth had snug suite of apartments high up over the stage in which most of his time was spent between his hours of business and act Ing in the theater.
 "Richard TIL" was on for short run, and had drawn fine audience that night in spite of the storm.
 "On leaving his dressing room about 12 o'clock, he gave me orders to wake him at 3 in the morning.
 After the lights of the theater had been put out, lay on cot in the property room, but I couldn't sleep I shouldn't have dared. Nightly glad I was when the time to call him ar- rived. the three hours from midnight had been the longest I ever knew.
 "I mounted the stairway to his apartments, where, over spirit lamp in the library, I proceeded to make some strong coffee. This done l open cd the door of his bedroom. Ho was breathing heavily in dead sleep MT Booth had one pecuiarity-h was confused and irritated if sudden ly walked from sleep; sometimes he would throw tho nearest thing at hand at the one who had reused him.
 As precautlon I removed the lamp, the pipe and the book with which he had smoked and read him self to sleep, his tobacco jar (you know he was a great smoker), and all the movables from the reading stand beside hls bed; even his boots I placed across the room. Then I shook inim gently by the shoulder and told him the time As I expected, he sat ur dazedly and reached about for some thing to throw at mo; but it was only for moment that his wits wandered He sat for a few minutes, looking down across the foot of the bed, very atill and thoughtful. l fetched the cof. fee l had made After drinking two cups of 1t he asked about the weath.

HAS BIG FIRE
ENTIRE FIRE DEPARTMENT BAT.
Tiles WITH FLAMES FOR
TWO HOURS.

Minneapolis, Jan. IA. - Putting up
one Of the hardest and most spectacu-
lar fights that has been waged against
fire in Minneapolis for years, the
entire fire department Saturday night
battled for two hours to save the
block of commercial buildings on
Third avenue north, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, occupied by a num-
Der of wholesale firms.
The fire at last was confined to the
row in which it originated. The loss
is estimated at $163 ,00O.
During the worst of the fire Chief
Canterbury ordered the greater part
of his force into the Northern Manu-
featuring company's building, which
was separated from the burning struc-
ture only by a fire wall, and for more
than an hour 200 men occupied the va
rious floors fighting to keep the flames
from gaining a foothold.
Their efforts were successful, and
by 2 o'clock the fire was under con
troll. The buildings which were de-
stroyed were all four-story structures
of brick, and the fire made its way SO
completely through them that there
was no chance of saving any of the
stock to speak of. In almost every
case the loss is total.

NEW TOWN FIRE-sWEPT.
Citizens, Fighting Desperately. See
Half Business Section Left in Ruins.

Starting about II o'clock n night
last week, fire destroyed about half the
business portion of the thriving little
city of Brentford, one of the new
towns on the Minneapolis & st. Louis
extension to the Missouri river. The
fire started in H. A. Miller's dry goods
store and, famed by a brisk north.
west wind, soon spread to adjoining
buildings containing George B. Mann's
hardware store, the postofice and tel.
ephone station. B. A. Esty's store and
the Stanley hotel were also destroyed.
The town has no fire protection and
what was saved was solely through the
efforts of amateur firemen. The loss,
estimated at $4,000, is thought to be
we'll covered by insurance. The
burned buildings will nearly all be re-
built as soon as the insurance is ad-
justed.
George B. Mann. postmaster and
proprietor of the Mann Hardware com
pany, is the heaviest loser. H. A.
Miller, in whose building the fire orig
mated, is a former resident Of Mime
apolis.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is thought to have been in the
heating apparatus of Miller's store.

GUN PLAY BARS SALOON.

The saloon advocates in the vicinity
Of Bixby, on Moreau river, thought as
there was no saloon within forty miles
Of that point 1t would be a good stroke
Of business to locate at that place, and
begun the circulation of a petition to
be allowed to get into the business.
They were receiving many signatures,
when a social dance was given at the
place. Several men secured a supply
of liquor, and after they had become
properly exhilarated they started a
gun play, accompanied by lurid re-
marks as to their prowess. That end
ed the saloon petition, as those who
had signed got busy the next day to
e that their names came off, feeling
that they had a saloon near enough as
matters stood, and not wanting a near
er acquaintance.
