RECORD
HE:RE:

BreaIing all records in the
registration for the coming
municipal election is Grand
junction. This afternoon and
this evening the last oppor-
tunities To register for the COM
ing election will be afforded.
The books will close after to-
night County Clerk Starr has
offered to keep the office open
this evening so that all who wait
until the last hours may be ac-
commodatcd.
Today the registrations have been
very heavy by all parties. Carriages
have been busy hauling people to the
clerks office and Mr.. Starr and Dep
uties Steel and Knowles have been
kept very busy recording the names
filling out the answers Of qualifica-
tion and administer the oaths.
Deputy Clerk Steel stated to The
Sentinel this afternoon that the total
registration in the five wards OF
Grand Junction would be greater by
several hundred than ever before
known. There have been compara-
lively few cancellation of names while
in every ward scores of new voters
have registered.
There is no question but what the
vote in this city on April 9th Will be
the biggest ever recorded in Grand
Junction.
The interest in the municipal fight
is increasing every day.
1t is pretty certain that there will
be comparatively few unregistered
people in Grand Junction when the
books close tonight.

CHAPTER VII.

When Van Torp and Logotheti left
Mr., Pinney's shop, the old jeweler
meant to have good look at the
ruby the Greek had brought him, and
was going to weigh it. not merely as
a matter of business, for he weighed
every stone that passed through his
hands from crown diamonds to sparks,
but with genuine curiosity, because in
a long experience he had not seen
very many rubies of such a size. which
were also of such fine quality and he
wondered where this one had been
found
Just then, however, two well-dressed
young men entered the shop and
came up to him. He had never seen
either of them before, but their looks
inspired him with confidence; and
when they spoke, their tone was that
of English gentlemen, which all 9TH
er Englishmen find it practically i'm
possible to initiate, and which had
been extremely familiar to Mr.. Pin
ney from his youth. Though he was
the great jeweler himself, the wealthy
descendant of five of his name in sue
cession, and much better off than half

SYNOPSIS.

Barala. a Tartar girl. became euamOred
Of a golden bearded stranger VINO was
prospecting and studying herbs in the
vicinity of her home in central Asia. and
revealed to him the location of a mine
of rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives who blocked up the en-
trance, and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die. Baraka'S cousin
Saad. her betrOthed, attempted to climb
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
the traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from a water gourd Saad car
ried. dug his way out of the tunnel. and
departed, DESERVING the girl and carrying
a bag of rubies. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry. and started in pur-
suit. Margaret Dome (Margarita da
CordOva), a famous prima donna. became
engaged in London to kOnstantin Lo-
gOtheti, a wealthy Greek tinanCier. Her
intimate friend, was Countess LeVen.
known as Lady Maud. whose husband
had been killed by a bomb in st. Peters
burg: and Lady Mauds most intimate
friend was Rufus Van Torp, an Amer-
men in the world Van TOrp was in love
with Margaret, and rushed TO London as
soon as he heard of her betrOthal. He
offered Lady Maud $1,000. 600 for her pet
the singer from LOgotheti. Baraka APP
preached LOgOtheti at Versailles with
rubes to sell. He presented a ruby TO
Margaret. Van Torp bought yacht and
sent it to Venice. He visited by
Baraka in male attire. She gave him a
ruby after the American had told her Of
having seen in the United States a man
answering the description of the one she
loved. The American followed Margaret
to the BaETeuth 'ParSifal" festival. Mar
garet took liking to Van Torp. who pre-.
scented her with the ruby Baraka had

Cried Mr.. Pinney.
brave policeman, killed in doing his
duty.
In the bag there We're several
screws of paper, which were found to
contain uncut 'rubies of different sizes
to a large value But there was one,
much larger than the others, which
Mr.. Van Torp had not seen that morn
ing Mr.. Pinney looked at it very
carefully. held it to the light, laid it
on a sheet of paper, and examined it
long in every aspect He was a con-
scientious man.
ITO the best of my belief" he de-
posed, this is the stone that was on
my counter half an hour ago, and for
which this piece of green glass was
substituted. 1t is the property of a
customer OF mine Mons. Konstantin
Logotheti of Paris, who brought it to
me this morning to be cut. | think it
may be worth between nine and ten
thousand pounds. | can say nothing
as to the identity of the paper, for
tissue paper is very much alike every
where"
The woman" observed the officer
in charge of the station, appears to
steal nothing but rubies 1t looks like
a queer case. Well lock up the two,
Mr. Pinney, and if you will be kind
enough to look in tomorrow morning,
I'm sure the magistrate won't keep you
waiting for the case"
Vastly relieved and comforted, Mr.
Pinney' returned to his shop. For
mality required that the ruby itself
with the others in the bag, should re-
main in the keeping of the police till
the magistrate ordered it to be re-
turned to it's rightful owner, the next
morning; but Mr.. Pinney felt quite as
sure of it's safety as if it were in the
japanned stronghold in his own safe,
and possibly even little more sure
for nobody could steal it from the po-
lice station.

stand, which happened to be the cor
ner of Brook street and New Bond
street
Mr.. Pinney recognized his late Gus
toners without hesitation, and went
with them to the police station, where
he told his story and showed the
piece of green glass. Spiro tried to
speak, but was ordered to hold his
tongue, and as no rubies were found
in their pockets he and Baraka were
led away to be more thoroughly
searched
But now, at last, Baraka resisted
and with such tremendous energy.
that there would have been serious
trouble if Spiro had not called out
something which at once changed the
aspect of matters.
Master is LADY," he yelled Lady,
man Clothes"
THAT makes a pretty bad case"
observed the sergeant, who was super
intending. Send for Mrs. Movie"
Baraka did not resist when she saw
the matron, and went quietly with her
to cell at the back of the station. In
less than ten minutes Mrs. Movie
came out and locked the door after
her. She was CHEEKY little person,
very neatly dressed, and she had rest
less bright eyes like a ferret. She
brought a little bag of soft deerskin
in her hand. and steel bodkin with
a wrought silver handle, such as
southern %alian women used to wear
in their hair before such weapons
were prohibited Mrs. Movie gave
both objects to the officer without
comment.

his coat and kicked off his dusty
shoes, were you ever sea-sick?"

you be sea-sick on a steam yacht?"

into the sleeves, he shook his sturdy
shoulders, and pulled the jacket down
in front while the valet settled" the
back Then he faced round suddenly,
like a soldier at drill
All right?" he inquired.

from head to foot in the glare of the

Van Torp left the room at once. He
found Mrs Rushmore slowly moving
about the supper-table, more imposing
than ever in a perfectly new black
tea-gown and an extremely smart wild

was a very fine old lady indeed Mar
garet had not entered yet: d waiter
with smooth yellow hair stood by a
portable sideboard on which there
were covered dishes. There were pop
pies and corn-fowers in a plain white
jar on the table. Mrs. Rushmore
smiled at the financier; it would hard
ly be an eXaggeration to say that she
beamed upon him. They had not met

previous afternoon.

The inspectors are required to inspect
orchards, packing houses and storage
houses, to ascertain the presence of
fruit pests and to prescribe rules for
disinfection and for preventing the
spread of pests. The salary of the
state commissioner of horticulture
will be $4,000 a year, and that of his
assistant $4,000 year. Allowance is
made for travelling expenses. The
salary of the district inspectors will
be $500 a year, and that of the as

A brisk fight occurred over the To-
cation of the Office Of the state COM
missioner. An amendment was pro-
posed to locate the Office at Tacoma
instead of at Kennewick, as proposed
in the bill. During the debate which
occurred, Senator Metcalf, of Pierce
county, said:
ST am convinced that this session
of the legislature, so far as the SEN
ate is concerned, is the most ineffect-
i've and inefficient in the history of
the state. In order that it may not
become any more apparent, | move
the previous question in order to put
an end to a profitless debate"
Kennewick was decided upon as
the place where the commissioner
shall have his Office.

THE DEMONSTRA-
TON TRAIN
Interesting and Profitable
Meeting in Heppner.

The impression created by th'
men sent here on the 0. R. & N
demonstration train last Tuesda,
will be lasting and will undoubt,
edlv bring results that will be o
benefit to agricultural interests
and to the community at large.
While the demonstration train
that visited us year ago was
hailed with doubt as to the ques-
tions advanced and criticism re-
suited from hasty conclusions ito a
certain extent, still the visit
planted seed that has grown into
general interest among the farm
ers in the questions of better ag-
ricultural methods.
Much interest was shown everv-
where and the close attention and
eagerness to get personal inter-
views for An exchange of thought
was a noticeable feature.
The experts came without any
brass bands and in plain sensible
and practical talks convinced the
listners that no vague theories
we're to be tolerated. That only
thoroughly tried and known meth
DDS were to be presented.
That the farmer must rely upon
his own resources and Judgment,
but, if desired, the farmer could
have at his command the aid of
special study in modern methods.
The experts impressed evryone
with the fact that we were soon to
have an experiment station here in
Eastern Oregon where experiments
would be conducted among en-
vironments and conditions familiar
to u.s..
Here our own methods, methods
of other dry sections, in fact every
way would be put into actual exc
cution and the farmer would have
an opportunity to see with his
own eyes the actual results.
The demonstration train pulled
into the o. R. & N. depot Tuesday
on schedule time.
A fair sized crowd was in wait
