BY STUART B. STONE.

A dozen engine bells ding-donged
in the great shed.
In the last of the crowd came
Arthur Window, the clubman, and
little Minna Bell of the hill coun-
try. Minna had a very pretty pink
in her cheeks and the CLINT of her
hair and her eyes were big, brown
things that seemed always afraid.
1t was the pink and the CLINT and
the look of fright that had captured
Arthur Window. The naturalness
of Minna of the hills had done
what the powder and rouge of the
ladies of the town had never done
for the clubman. And now he held
her close as they brushed through
the throng of bankers and married
women and tramps, past the in
quiring gateman and to the warm,
gloomy precincts of the car &C.
nevra of the Yellow Meteor on
track %. Here they slowed their
wonder packages from the 98-cent
counters and Minna of the hills
sighed long and deep. For the
iron prov of No. 999 there in the
10 acre shed pointed homeward to
the cool, green hills and the cows
and the corn.
The city was not to the liking Of
the hill girl. The lights were pref
ty and of many pleasing colors,
but there were too many Of them.
The buildings were grand and CO.
lossal, but Minna cared more for
a weather-boarded place she knew
in the Kashkonongs. The town was
a glare and a glitter and a dazzle.
of course, but there was too much
OF 1t all. and Minna sighed again
for the click of the reaper in the
fields of waving wheat.
Alone among the things of the
town, the man by her side had
really appealed to her. He had
appreciated her, had made her feel
sure of herself. And she had
thought that with him she might
in time care for the jangling mess
of wheels and bells and whistles.

And Minna of the hills sighed
with the least little wonderment as
to what Bud Wilkins would think

often that a beautiful girl will
give up gay society life in the city
to undertake the hardships of a
mining camp in the drear desert

this young woman left the gay
whirl of social life for that of a
prospector in the Nevada fields,
and was successful.
About year ago the daring
girls brother, Wilmot White, and
his partner, Richard cole, came to
Nevada to seek for gold. They
finally drifted into the Funeral
range, on the eastern edge of
Death valley, and located a num-
Der of claims.
WilmOt often wrote to his sister,
telling her of the desert life and
of the solitude of the mining camp.
She decided to join him. She made
her way into the Funeral range
and there, DOMINIC rough clothes

discovered a rich cropping. She
located several claims and then
called on her brother to help her

did nothing but stare at the Yellow
Meteor carrying Arthur Window
into the boundless west. There
came the whistle of No. 999 in
the distance and Minna sighed
once more-this time for Arthur
Window, clubman, for his was the
life that seemed far away, here in
the dust Of the Midtown big road.
ICED app, Badly!" said Esquire
Anderson once more, and they
climbed the rocky hill on the other
side of Bateman's.
It was an hour later that Bud
Wilkins first found his tongue. The
crowd was peeling apples, but
Minna sat without on the low front
porch In revery.
"City's a mighty fine place l
reckon. Minna." he ventured, with
little hope.
Minna shook the glint-of-gold
head. ''Taint half as fine as down
here in the sticks, Bud"
And Bud handed Minna the big
gest, reddest apple of all. 1t was
the token of the doom of Window
the clubman.

defenses at Subig bay. During the
apanese.Russian war the Zafiro
was sent to Seoul, Korea, with a
large detachment of marines to
rescue American refugees.
Some time ago the Zafiro was
brought across the Pacific and the
government decided to sell her.
The vessel having been of En- glish
registry when Admiral Dewey pur-
chased her, could not under our
merchant marine laws be admitted
to American registry.
Though the gallant little snip
had been fought under the Ameri-

in commerce under the same flag.
Owing to this fact a purchaser
could not be found. The Zafiro

On one of the claims a rich vein
was discovered. 1t required depth
to work it properly. Cole was busy
with his own properties, but White
assisted his sister, and together
they worked the claim, which later
turned out to be a bonanza. When
depth was gained on thks ledge
White worked in the bottbh of the
shaft, while his sister toiled at the
windlass. She found the Skirts Of
her prospecting suit too restricting,
so she adopted the regulation
clothes of the miner and pros
pector.
Miss White, who is but l22 years
old, is a young woman df excep-
tional beauty and refinement. Tall
and slender, she is poss essed of
remarkable strength and, endur-

steamer Zafro, under the laws
which have driven our merchant

That is the reason the trim lit

WOULD MANDAMUS
 COUNTY TREASURER

The mandamus proceedings instituted by the city of Birmingham against County Treasurer H. c. Miller to compel him to pay over to the city one-half of the bridge and road taxes collected under special act of the legislature were heard by Cir cult Judge A. o. Lane yesterday after noon.
 The hearing consumed the entire after noon ana owing to the great number of authorities cited it Is not probable that Judge Lane will render a decision until the latter part of this week. In the pro- ceedings the county was represented by Attorney N. L. Miller, while former City Attorney r. D. Smith represented the city.
 It will be recalled that at the last ses- sion of the legislature a bill was passed giving the Board of Revenue of Jefferson county the authority to collect a bridge and road tax, one-half of which was to be turned over to the city of Birmingham and the other to the county
 The money was collected and the Board of Revenue passed warrant authorizing the county treasurer to turn half of the amount collected over to the city. The oity's portion amounted to something like Sl5,OC0.
 When the warrant was presented to Treasurer Miller he declined to pay out the money. Hence the mandamus pro- ceedings.
 The case is quite an interesting one. It involves the constitutionality of the act passed by the legislature.

Fine AYYQnQementS For
 Getting Election Nehs

While these returns will accommodates every one, a number of the local clubs are preparing to receive the returns at their club rooms for the accommodation of the club members. The Southern club. Elks' club. Young Men's Christian association, Athletic club, Turverein and a number of others will post returns, spe- eial telegraph wires being run into the club buildings. The negroes are also very much interested in the election, and the Advance club, a negro organization. will also have a special wire in it's rooms.
 The different theatres in town will also give the returns during the performances. while one man has the fever so bad that he is going to give a supper to few friends in his office and have a special wire run into it.
 Tuesday gives fair promise of finding Birmingham election wild. much wilder in fact than it has ever been over any previous presidential election. and the moment it is known who Is elected Bir- mingham will be in possession of that knowledge.

REPORTS OF MISCHIEF
 POUR INTO HEADQUARTERS
Chief Detailed 1s Men to Watch the Spirits, But They Were In Too Many Directions to
 Be Handled.

Last night was the night of all others when supernatural influences prevail and when the spirits of both the visible and invisible worlds stalk abroad-Hal- lowe'en No report was received of the appearance of any spirits of the invisible world but there were so many of those of the visible world-principally evil spirits. or rather mischievous spirits that IS policemen detailed for nothing else but watch them could no more handle them than if they had been across the seas somewhere.
 Anticipating the trouble the evening would bring, Chief Bodeker picked IS tried and true officers yesterday after noon to scout from one end of Birming- ham to the other in order to save the city from general destruction Despite the vigilance of the officers and their fleet ness on bicycles reports of all sorts of devilment fairly poured into police headquarters during the early hours of the night.
 There were many youngsters who donned sheets and enjoyed themselves
 
 Others, however. caused much annoyance "tick-tocking," hanging gates upon tele- phone poles and by their indulgence in innumerable other tricks.
 The main centers of trouble, however, were on the hills along the various car lines. The heavy incline on South Twen- tieth street, the Thirteenth street hill on the Fountain Heights line, the Rush ave nue hill and the North Highlands line and a number of other tracks were thor oughly greased so that the car schedules were thrown out considerably, On High land avenue and Sycamore street the youngsters scarttered fire balls so promis- cuously that it was necessary to call out the police. On Rush avenue and Seven teenth street, north, a crowd of boys got behind a negro, who was lucky to escape with his life. he was pretty badly beat up.
 Chief Bodeker was in his office practi- cally all the tme up to midnight and left early this morning thoroughly tired out.
