Virgil Garvin. who at one time was the
star twirler Of the Newark team when
represented in the old Atlantic League,
died at his home in Texas Monday Gar
vim was rated as one of the best pitchers
in professional company. but his erratic
habits spoiled bright future. After
leaving Newark he PLAYED at different
times with the Giants. Yankees. Brook:
lyns and Chicago White Sox. Garvin's
last big league engagement was in 1904.

York could have Patten for the waiver
price of $3.50. and New York replied

him decides to let him 60 the club which
refused to waive must accept him. This

Tramway Franchise Case Appealed.

Denver.-Both Denver and the Mer-
camille Trust Company of New York
have perfected appeals from the decis.
ion OF Judge Robert +. Lewis in the
Federal Court in the Denver City
Tramway franchise case. City Attor-
ney Lindsley obtained his order of ap-
peal just within the time limit.
The Mercantile Trust Company is
interested in the case as holder of n
mortgage on the Tramway company
property. which was negotiated In the
early life of the company.
The suit was filed nearly twenty
years ago by the Trust company. 1t
asked that an ordinance repeating the
original grant of streets be declared
invalid. II was brought to trial in the
Federal Court less than n year ago.
Judge Lewis held that the Tramway
company was to have undisputed pos
session of the streets for at least fifty
years from the passage of the fran
chise ordinance in 1855.
The Mercantile Trust Company ap.
peals upon the ground that the Judge
erred in not specifying that the fran
chise should be perpetual and in not
pcrpetually enjoining Denver from in
terfering with the tramway's use OF
the streets.

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS
Salute by Kissing the Foot is as Old
as History.

The custom Of kissing the feet o.
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nationals used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes Of the persons they wished to
show respect for.
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus.
tom from the Assyrians. and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks. and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered OF the
old Briton ruler who appeared to do
homage to a Roman monk after the
conquest of Brlton. He was told that
II was customary to kiss the foot OF
the holy father. He hesitated for
moment and then. bending down.
he suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and, jerking It up to his lips,
toppled the worthy father over back.
ward
The toe OF the sultan of Turkey is
kissed by subjects OF high rank. Those
OF more lowly position are merely
allowed to touch the fringe of his gar.
ment to their lips. and the poorest
classes must be content to make a low
obeisance in his presence.-Illustrated

CLERK OF BOULDER COUNTY EN-
JOINED FROM CERTIFYING
ELECTION RESULTS.
DAY SET FOR HEARING
LIQUOR MEN CLAIM LAW Is UN.
CONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE
OF DISCRIMINATION.

Dcnver.-By n supersedeas issued
by the Supreme Court Thursday after
noon the county clerk OF Boulder coun-
ty is enjoined from certifying the re.
suits of the local option election held
in North 1.ongmont, precinct "a of
Boulder county. Tuesday the Bird inst
The decision cmanated from n petition
presented by attorneys representing
the liquor interests of Longmont. 1t
Is the intention OF the petition to pre-.
vent the result OF the vote on the To-
cal option question from being an.
nounccd until after the Supreme Court
has had opportunity to decide the dis
puted section OF the. local option law
which prohibits saloon interests from
calling an election for two years after
n decisive vote on local option has
been taken and does not prescribe a
time limit for the opposition.
A few days prior to the election n
petition was filed in the Supreme
Court asking that the county clerk of
Boulder county be cnjoined from pre-
senting the local option question on
the regular ballot. II being argued that
1t was unfair because the VETS had
won In an election held last spring.
The Justices decided that the question
involved too many technical points to
be decided definitely at the time and
allowed the election to be held, prom
Using a thorough examination OF the
law and authorities after the election.
The attorneys are given twenty days
to file abstracts and briefs. and at the
end Of that time the court will decide
upon the question OF granting n perma-
nent Injunction against the certifying
Of the election results. Attorneys for
the liquor interests contend that the
local option provision is unconstitu.
tional because both sides are not given
equal rights to call elections. II the
court should sustain this contention.
the decision will probably nullify the
present local option law.

Projected Automobile Lines.

Denver.-Colorado is to have a sys-
TEN OF automobile lines operated along
private roadways to be built by the
Crystal Park Company, which was in.
corporatcd recently with n capital
stock of S7S0.000. It is the purpose of
the company to connect Crystal Park
with Manitou by private automobile
speedways and to operate regular cars.
1t is stated that the company is in
corporated for the purpose of introduc.
ing automobile lines along their own
roads in several counties of Colorado.
including Denver county.
Other parks and lakes throughout
the state will be acquired and automo-
bile lines will be used to connect them
with the nearest cities. Similar lines
have proven profitable in several other
states and with the increasing mum.

1t is believed the system will have n
steady patronage and prove to be an
added attraction.

CHAPTER Six-cor.inued

This time neither woman hid her
face. The prayers were all in the
heart. Save for that ejaculation not

rs the bird charmed by the snake

Carrington was stronger man than
Strathgate, lie had lived In the gay
world at times. as the other had. but
there had been long periods on the
sea. He had gained n power Of wrist
that the other trcmblcd to feel rs the
blade pressed heavily against his own.
But battles with swords are not ncccs
sarily gained by strength Of arm. The
victory is not always to the strong.
sometimes it goes to the swift
With incredible quickness Strath-
gate engaged his point and lunErd
desperately forward. Darlington par.
ried with all the swiftness of which
he was capable. and jus, managed to
ward the blow. The blade Of his ad-
versary's sword ripped throsh the side
of his shirt, but no blood followed the
thrust. He had ESCAPED u1harmed.
Strathgate smiled.
The next time" he said softly to
himself under his breath.
The next instant he warded easily
furious return attack by Carrinc-
ton. and thereafter for perhaps 4 min
ute there followed a succession Of
thrusts and parties with marvellous
rapidity.
Ellen knew something about sword
play. She was no mean fencer her
self. and she saw with an anCuishei
heart that Lord StrathEate was fore
ing the attack. and that her husband
had all he could possibly do TO keep
from being sp.tted upon his adver.
sary's nimble sword. RumoT had not
exaggerated StrathEaie's wonderful
mastery. His blade was like q lam.
bent fame and played like lightning
about her husbands weapon. Des.
perate as was the task, however. Car.
rington just managed to avoid these
deadly thrusts, His shirt had been
cut In half dozen places, and thin
splotch OF blood showed where one OF
the thrusts had sTazed the skin. bu,
he was practically sca,heiess.
He confined himself after that frsi

cifully and gave him no opportunity
whatsoever for return. 1t was
