Washington, June 25.-The state de. partment has been officially notified of the departure of Secretary Jacob Sleeper, of the American legation at Caracas, Venezuela, aboard the Mari etta, leaving the United States with put a diplomatic representative in that country. A state of expectancy exists and is the result of the in ability Of this country to secure any satisfaction from President Castro through Minister Russell.
 Caracas, June 22, via Willemstad, June 25.-The members of the Ameri- can legation are awaiting the arrival of the United States gunboat Mari etta at Porto Cabello, the warship hay ing been ordered there for the pur- pose of transferring them to the United States. Jacob Sleeper, who has been acting as charge d'affaires since the departure of the American minister, w. w. Russell. and Lieu tenant Francis A.

 President Castro returned here sud. denly few days ago after long ab- sence in the interior and his arrival attracted much attention. All kinds of rumors are current and the with drawal of the representatives of the United States is not quite understood by Venezuelans. It is probable, too. that there will be an early rupture with Holland and there are reports that a revolution against the admins traticn is being organized in Colombia. As matters now stand, the United States.

Blast that Simms! His gangs the last on duty again! Goodbye, MT. Vincent Come and look us over again." he called, and dashed off toward the of. lending foreman. As Alfred passed on the trail below the superintendent s far-audible ire followed him, a unique word panorama, eXpressible only in dashes and stars
 Muscle-sore, Alfred alighted from his steaming bronco at the depot only five minutes before two. No time for Stel- la unless he stayed over night. Should he do it? Indeed, ought he not to re- main to see with his own eyes how she was circumstanced in this rough town? He remembered his promise to Uncle Billy. MT. Crocker himself had said Alfred could not get comfortably to the Front" and back in day. His answer to MT. Crocker flashed back on his brain: No mans comfort should count against railroad business" That decided him. To stay meant one day later in San Francisco one day less to study situation where any hour might be the hour of fate for the Cen tral Pacific railroad.
 The fussy little engine was now facing west, waiting it's message from the lever. The signal sounded and the train was starting when a barefooted boy came blowing round the rear car carrying a small package and in formed the conductor breathlessly that it was for that dandy feller that went off this morning with the boss"
 "Here!" cried Alfred, reaching down as the boy ran alongside. Alfred caught the parcel and threw a coin to the bearer.

 Uncle Billy's face sprang from De- cember to May; and he turned quickly to the rocky trail that led back to town.
 Stella The lonely man sped down the red, muddy trail his fatigue ban ished by the magic of her name! He looked up through the overarching fretwork of pine and cedar to heaven's s blue beyond, and the poet stirred in his heart, wakened by the memory of her face. Winter-blue skies. the thin, fragrant air, whispering pines, even the red, warm face of the uprearing mountain, all had a secret word for him to-day. Would she love him still Or had new scenes, new faces, filled her life, left no small chamber in her heart labeled Uncle Billy?"
