"Your hand is hurt, sir" Stella said
as she placed the hot bacon before
him. Without more words she cut the
meat and buttered his biscuit. 1t was

She stepped back to the table and

Alfred seated himself and she went
to the kitchen, leaving him to ponder
the adverb OF time so significantly
spoken.
Stella did not return, though AL.

the minutes dragging with his mac

Stella heard them and fastened to

A whispered parley kept her waiting.

Alfred Promises Allegiance.
Alfred studied Gov. Stanford's face
keenly while the latter re-read Mr..
Huntington's letter.
1t said in part: For three years I
have closely observed this young man
and found him, believe, peculiarly
adapted to business of delicate ma.
ture, for which we shall have growing
need. He Is older than he looks and
wiser than his age. His character
does not altogether show In his face.
and few would suspect such q slender
youth Of his capacity for the affairs
you may require of him.
Alfred was gratified at what he saw
in the governors eyes as he looked up
from the letter.
Young man, because of Mr.. Hunt
ington's strong letter we're going to
trust you beyond your years. 1t will
be a varied and difficult task. Do you
think you will be equal to it,"
"All that can do. sir, is to promise
my best effort and ask you to try me"
Can you take hectoring good ma
turedly?" asked Mr.. Croker. "You
can't go far on such a shape as you
have out west here; there's too much
Harvard college and ballroom in it,"
The governor spoke at once. Il be-

marks concerning his shape; he'll be

S. P. HAS MADE
LONG STRIDE
REMARKABLE RECORD SINCE
BLOCK SIGNAL INSTALLAT-
ION-ELECTRIC SERVICE
HAS REDUCED THE
DANGER TO TRAVEL

Now that the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific main lines have been
thoroughly equipped with block sys-
TEN of train signals, there is an alb
senee of accidents on these great steel
highways that is gratifying TO rail-
road officials as well as to the general
public. Discussing the subject briefly
with a reporter, one of the prominent
operating officials of the Hartman
roads said
1T has taken nearly two years 10
equip the Union and Southern Pacific
roads with this modern protective de-
vice, but it has been accomplished at
last and the result is seen in the en-
tire absence of anything like head-on
or tail-end collisions or accidents of
that nature The work of installing
the block system has been an ex-
pensive necessity, but the cost Is amp
ly repaid in the absolute safety OF
life and railroad equipment. There
are few small and unimportant gaps
in the long system put in since the
work was inaugurated in 1906, but
these are located on level stretches
OF the road, where trains can be seen
moving for miles, and the danger OF
accidents of any nature is slight. How
ever, even these little gaps are being
filled in as fast as the work can be ac-
and before the close of
the present year, the block system on
both lines will have been completed.

WOMAN p|CkPOCkET
CAPTURED At RENO

RENO. Aug. 24.-Irene Duff Haw-
ley, a woman alleged to be a
notorious pickpocket by the police or
many cities, was arrested in Reno
last night on the charge of yagrancy
and was this morning taken before
Judge Richardson on that charge.
Judge Richardson found her guilty as
charged and gave her until tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock to appear for
sentence. She was then allowed to
go and will have an opportunity to
leave the city.
This woman was in Reno months
ago and at that time was suspected
of many crimes. Later she was ar
rested in San Francisco during the
time the United States fleet was there
on a charge of picking pockets. She
was then registered at the Fairmont.
A few weeks ago Irene Duff was in
trouble in the southern portion OF the
state. where she was suspected OF
picking pockets. She only arrived in
Reno yesterday, but last night she
met respectable citizen of Reno on
the street and wanted him 10 take
her home, stating that she was afraid.
He suspected that she was trying to
play some trick on him and refused TO
have anything to do with her. This
morning he learned that his
suspicious We're true, when he
happened to visit the police station
and found Irene Duff in the police
court on a charge of vagraney.

GALVESTON, ley, Aug. 24.-One

$4,000 acres of land in Hidalgo

given but is said to be about S500,000
Takaya says a small army of his
countrymen are waiting in Japan to
come here and settle on these lands
and the syndicate he represents is ar
ranging TO send out about 1000 rice
growers early this winter.
This is purely an investment by
japanese in land We know to be good
for rice cultivation and that is what
we are going to do with il. = said Mr..
Takaya We will settle it with ex-
perienced rice growers. and sell the
land on easy payments.

WASHINGTON, Aug "a Before
the end of this month the navy de-
partment will invite bids for the con-
struction of 10 oil burning torpedo
boat destroyers of the swiftest and
most efficient type. Not more than
three of these boats will be awarded
TO any one bidder, and the limit of

The government has been slow to
take up the practical use of crude
petroleum as fuel for warships, al
though commercial interests, espe-
cially on the Pacific coast, have been
quick to install oil burners on steam
ships. The new battleships provided
for by the last session of congress
will have tanks for oil to be used
as auxiliary fuel when extraordinary
speed is required.
Ii is admitted that the introduce

RENO. Nev.. Aug. 24-Fifty
thousand dollars worth of high grade
gold ore has been stolen from the
main working tunnel of the Selby
Consolidated mine at Jumbo within
the past two weeks and all efforts TO
fix the crime on the guilty parties
have up to the present time been I'M
ayailing.
The matter of the theft was report
ed several days ago 10 the officers but
only leaked out this morning when
W. Il. Gilbert. superintendent OF the
mine. arrived in Reno from Jumbo in
his auto with additional evidence,
which was placed with the officials.
Further developments in the case
are expected at any moment and from
information in regard to the facts
set before the officers by Superinten-
dent Gilbert this morning arrests are
liable TO he made at any moment.
Mr.. Gilbert spent only very snort
time in this city today and after a
hurried consultation with Sherin
Ferrel left for Jumbo in his automo-
bile.
Sheriff Ferrel refused 10 discuss
the IldlleI inlS iuOl hihS' "aN $500
that he had nothing to say for publ
cation in regard TO the affair.
How the theft was made is not
known, but it is alleged that syste-
matte stealing has been going on at
the mine since the rich VEN OF bish
grade was uncovered several months
ago. 1t is also limited that former
high official of the company is suspec-
ted of the crime and that connected
with him are a man and women.
Superintendent Gilbert was appoint
ed to the position about two weeks
ago, taking the place of A. Y. Werner,
who is said to have resigned. Short
" after assuming the position Mr..
Gilbert noticed the theft of high
grade. but was unable to place his
hands on the guilty parties.
The main tunnel of the Selby Con-
solidated is known TO contain one OF
the richest veins of high grade gold
ore in the state. Some of the ore is
worth as high as $120 per pound and
may be easily picked from the face of
the drift or walls of the tunnel where
ii has been cut 1t would take but a
very short time to carry away. little
at time, fifteen thousand dollars
worth of this picture ore. \ large
force of men has been employed at
the mine of late, which also makes IT
difficult to fix the responsibility of the
robbery.

Ever since the Interstate Commerce

the country has been trying to break
up the rebate practice, and 1t Is now
successful. Even If the
shippers cannot be punished, the rail-
roads can be, and that Is enough"

question. Consequently the oil is
fed under about 800 pounds pressure.
and when it emerges from the feed
pipe the result is a spray quite as
satisfactory as if made by steam or

The lack of oil supply stations will
probably result in the limitation of
the usefulness of the oil burning

AS They Searched For Snipe

of honor was Mr.. Butch Hedjuk, pop

off in Ohio in the neighhorhOOd of

is. Up to the time of going to press
Mr. Hedjuk was, presumably, still
searching for the festive snipe-any-
how he had not yet returned home.
The social festivities were arranged
on the chance remark of Mr.. Hedjuk
that he had heard considerable a
bout snipe hunting but that he had
never taken part in a hunt" lmmed-
lately hunting party was organized.
Weary miles did the conspirators and

the bag, the lantern and a club the
size of a ball bat. Ever and anon as

spy. or rather hear. one of the snipes

full as to whether this game was a
species of the gorilla family or the

did not worry him. He was confident
of getting a mess of them and Mr..

butchered snipe home.

ed to be seated. He obeyed orders and
then the bag with the lantern inside
of it was handed TO him. Before his
