The Rio Grande's new double track
in this vicinity is now being used as
trains are running over it to test the
road bed. Saturday evening east
bound passenger train No. was run
over 1t part of the way from Canon
and owing to the soft condition OF che
bed as yet, it required twenty five
minutes to make the run, whereas
the schedule time Is twenty minutes.
The road is not all completed but
switches have been connected with
the old road and the trains run AS

1t is thought that the new road
will be completed by tomorrow

possible to politely decline, as Sally
Blackwood has already put her beauti-

you're here. You mustn't refuse. We

A moment later Barnes finds him

is about to hint at the purport of her

love make you careless, mon Bayard."
Barnes takes her hint. His pistol Is
ready as he throws open the door OF
her apartment and passes cautiously
out; so all the way down the stairs of
the hotel he is careful as to corners,
and out on the street, well peopled as
is the Des Anglais, the American has

But nothing Of a threatening nature
is seen.
AS the vehicle enters the grounds

groom confidence in the sailors watch.

American closes his Jaw with a snap
and goes down to breakfast, to meet
as charming a bride as the sun has
shone upon.
