The girl took from her head the
large cotton cloth with which she
yelled herself, and folded it and laid
1t down on the rock by the pool; then
she let her outer tunic of thin white
woolen fall to the ground round her
feet and stepped out of 1t, and folded
1t also, and laid it beside her veil, and
she stood up tall and straight as q

light, clothed only in the plain shirt

moon. She followed the stony sheep
track that struck into the hills only a
few hundred PAGES from the last
houses, and the stranger followed her
closely. He had his sack on his shoul-
der, his book Of plants and herbs was
slung behind him by a strap, and in
his pockets he had all the money he
carried for his travels and his letters
to the chiefs, and weapon; but he
had left all his other belongings, judg-
ing them to be of no value compared
with q camePs bag full of rubies, and
only hindrance, since he would have
to travel far on foot before daylight,
by dangerous paths.
The girl trod lightly and walked
fast, and as the man followed in her
footsteps he marked the way turn by
turn, and often looked up at the stars
overhead as men do who are accus-
toned to journeying alone in desert
places. For some time Baraka led
him through little valleys he had often
traversed, and along hillsides familiar
to him, and at last she entered a mar
row ravine which he had once fol-
lowed to its head, where he had found
it ended abruptly in a high wall of
rock, at the foot of which there was
a clear pool that did not overflow. 1t
was darker in the gorge, but the rocks
were almost white, so that it was
quite possible to see the way by the
faint light.
The man and the girl stood before
the pool; the still water reflected the
stars.

II see water and a wall of rock"
the man answered. Il have been here

Baraka laughed softly.

said. "The way is not easy, but 1

The man did not trust her. How
could he tell but that she had brought
him to an ambush where he was to be
murdered for the sake of his money
and his good weapon? The rubies
were real, so far as he could tell, but
they might be only bait. He shook
his head.
Listen" said Baraka. "At the other
side Of the pool there is place where
the water from this spring flows away
under the rock. That is the passage"

 FOR VERNON [. COOK
Leaves the Phoenix National Bank to Become a Member of the Greene & Griffin Investment Company.

Vernon c. Cook, who has been with the Phoenix National bank for some years. has resigned as paying teller of that institution to become a mem Der of the firm of Greene & Griffin Real Estate and Investment company MT. Cooks decision to leave the bank ing business has been received with sincere regret by the officers, em- ployes and the customers of the bank who, however, are pleased to know that he has taken advantage of d most promising opportunity and will become a prominent factor in the business of this growing city.
 v MT Cook will take the position of secretary and general office manager relieving MT. Greene or that part of the business. MT. Greene has felt for some time that the work incident to large and growing business was more than he cared to handle and will leave the details of the business to the younger members of the company MT. Greene expects to take a long va cation about July 1st, taking in the Puget Sound country, and when he returns, will, he says, take it easy"
 MT. Cook is well fitted for the posi- tion he assumes, having been a resi- dent of the valley a long time. ard his knowledge of banking will be of assistance in his new position, as much of the Greene k Griffin Real Estate and Investment company's bus mess consists of loans. as well as the management of the Phoenix Building and Loan association, which is much on the order of a savings bank.

JAPANESE SAILORS
 AT SAN FRANCISCO
A Former Salt River Valley Girl Took 2 Part in Ceremonies.

The following account of an episode crew of the Japanese training squad ron at San Francisco will be of some local interest for the reason that a former Salt River valley girl figured in it, Mrs. Shaughnessy, formerly Miss Evie Justus, daughter of c. E. Justus, who lives near town:
 "Over 200 officers and cadets from the Japanese cruisers Also and SOya sat for more than two hours yesterday morning in the yard of the firehouse at Seventeenth and Harrison streets and watched some of the best men of the department handle the apparatus and perform the feats of daring which they are called upon to do occasionally at genuine conflagration.
 With the Japanese guests of the city were the mayor and heads Of the various civic departments.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock yesterday morning tine Japanese marched into the firehouse yard, where they were received by Fire Chief Shaunghnessy and by him taken to a temporary plat form where Mayor and Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Shaughnessy received them. Upon the platform were Chief of Po- lice Cook, Police Commissioners Swell gert, Cutley, Leggett and Sanborn. Su- perintendent of Schools Roncovieri, Fire Commissioner Newhall and rep resentatives from every civic depart ment.
 Battalion Chief F. F. McKittrick was in charge of the exhibition, and under his orders the men moved like clockwork. The use of scaling lad ders was demonstrated on the five story tower, and the men showed how they brought people from the upper windows of burning buildings by means of ropes. A life line was then shot from a carbine to the roof of the building, and Lieutenant Frank Miskel jumped into the life net from one of the upper windows.
 "The use of the heaviest apparatus for fighting the flames was then dem onstrated. One of the big ladders was brought into the yard and Fireman M. c. Stewart, of Truck No. 1 made the trip to the topmost rung, as the lad der was raised in seventeen seconds.
 "Following that the water tower and batteries were shown in action.
 "The Japanese expressed their grati- tude to Fire Chief Shaughnessy and his aids and marched back to their ships under the guidance of their of ficial chaperone, Flag Lieutenant Poteet."

OFFICERS ELECTED BY
 SUBURBAN R. R. co.
c. B. King, Who Has Had Large Ex- perience in Railway Building, Is the President

Definite organization was effected by meeting held the latter part of the week. A board of directors and off cers were elected.
 C. B. King. who has had a wide ex- perience as a builder of trolley lines in the state of Washington, was elected president The vice president is J. w. Doris; treasurer, E. J. Bennitt, and secretary, Tom Prescott. Additional members of the board of directors are George M. Hahn and B. A. Fowler.
 The company is gradually getting their plans in shape to begin opera tions on the building of the road. The directors are working in a quiet way and do not care to say much about their intentions until everything is in readiness to go ahead on a practical basis. That the road will be built within the length of time permitted by the franchise, does not seem to be in the least doubt. MT. King has built several trolley lines in and around Spokane, Wash, and has never failed in any railroad project that he has His practical experience in road building will be of invaluable service to the company in the present instance. The other members of the directorate are well known as pro gressive and at the same time, con- servative business men and any prop osition with these men are behind is pretty sure to be a go"

MON|HAN MAKES GOOD
 ON RIGHT OF WAY
Genial Joe Gives the Iron Horse Per mission to Craze in His Pasture.

Joe Monihan yesterday gave the Phoenix & Buckeye railway project magnificent boost by rendering a right of way across his quarter section just west of the city. This was one of the valuable close in farms that the right of way committee had been fearing it would have trouble to get across, but Mir. MOnihan has shown a decidedly liberal public spirit in making this donation, and adds greatly to the as surance of success of the enterprise.
 Mir. Monihan is one of the old timers in the valley. one of the men who came here before railroads were even talked about or hardly heard about in this country He was one of the men who appreciated that this was a great country even without railroads or much of anything else that eastern people were used to. Nevertheless he is not one of the sort who tries to put ties on the track to throw the wheels of progress, and he is as keen as any body to get on and ride when he sees a good thing coming. He knows that a railroad to Buckeye will mean enough saving on the cattle he may buy and fatten down there some day to pay him for the land he gives up, for it runs weight off steer to travel miles across country. He knows, too, that if he helps the Buckeye ranchers get into the millionaire class they will all move to Phoenix some day and build houses, and thea the town will crowd out to Monihans ranch and Joe will be living on a boulevard, and owning it, too.
 Several others yesterday announced their intention of doing the right thing by the committee, though it still has number of hard nuts to crack. Everything is working nicely, though. and if two or three more good men will follow MT MoHihan's example. the right of way will be secured and the dirt will begin to fly.
