7 HAVE been reading more of the let
tiers. Yesterday / put them away and
promised myself l would not open them
again. And yet today an irresistible
longing drew me TO them. a sad fancy
to find one written on this date, August
S0th. l was not sure that there was
one, for though our engagement lasted
over year, there were many days when
we were together. when he did not
write.
But 1 opened the box and looked for
this date with a strange easerness' an
eagerness that was almost an anxiety
as though in some way 1 felt it might
be some good omen-that something
might follow if there was such letter.
The second envelope 1 picked up was
postmarked August 10th. How strangel
My heart beat fast. But 7 found no
more in August until I had gone over
half of them; then came one marked

two or three more letters out of al that
box, the postmark August 30th lay be-
fore me.
With trembling fingers 1 took il up.
The envelope was empty! An empty
envelope! and I had longed for some
loving word-something that would
comfort me-that I might take as a
message now! There were a dozen OF
more loose letters in the bottom OF
the box, but none of them dated, ex-
cept sometimes the day of the week
or perhaps the hour. And the paper
was all the same-the plain, heavy

ner that railroad construction men
build a grade across q rav.ne. The de
post is carried to the edge of the solid
ground and dumped. Thus can be
learned the formation of the interior
of the earth from a study Of the prob
able conditions under which the de
posts were laid down. Broad, straight
U-shaped canyons denote that they
were cut out by glacial action, while
N-shaDed crooked canyons were made
by water courses The rounding OF
the bouIders is due to the sCraping of
rocks carried by glaciers. a glacial
region such as exists in the Cmtah
mountains is always well dotted with
lakes. due to the gOUgiug and damming
process OF these ice forces.
In discussing faults i'm the stratifi-
cation of certain regions. Professor
PACK called attention 10 the striking
example just north Of salt Lake City.
4 large block Of earth has dropped of
and slid down the mountain twelve to
fifty feet This reforming of blocks of
the earth is one of the causes of earth
quakes. In connection with the san
Francisco earthquake. the largest
faults were of but a few feet This
fault north of the city has occurred
within the past century or two, and
had Salt Lake been standing then
would have caused an earthquake SO
great that not a hen house would have
been left standing.

practical mining talks win be given

manager for the Boston Consolidated

YOUTHFUL THIEVES
CAUGHT REO-HANDEO
Two BOYS Confess to Stealing Plumb
ing Fixtures From New
Buildings.

Vern Garrick and Ralph Dow, two
Salt Lake youths, who have been caus-
ing the police no end Of trouble for the
last month. were arrested by Watch
man {. c. Riley and Patrolman J. J.
RieX near the Wellington hotel al 10
O'Clock Tuesday night. The boys are
charged with stealing brass water fau
Gets and other articles from houses in
the course Of construction in the eastern
part of the city For q month past the
police have been notified of the theft Of
a number Of water faucets, but up to
last night have been unable to find any
trace Of the petty thieves.
shortly after 3 O'Clock Tuesday even
ing Waterman Riley saw the two lads
leaving q new building on First South
street. between Sixth and Seventh East
streets. Riley followed the boys until
they reached the Wellington hotel on
South Temple and Third West streets.
Waterman Riley informed PatrOlman
J. J. Riley Of the boys actions, and the
two officers questioned the boys. At
first they told the officers they had been
uptown 20 a theatre, but later, when
Waterman Riley told the lads he had
seen them leaving the building on East
First South street, they acknowledged
he was right, and at the same time
turned over to the policemen a new
brass water faucet which they had TAX
Ell from the house. The boys also gave
to the policemen two pipe wrenches
which they had been using in taking
the faucets from their fastenings.
Neither boy denied their guilt Of the
thefts Of the many missing water fau-
Gets. They made a full confession. but
were unable to say how many places
they had robbed Dow is IL years old,
and Gsrrick a year older.
Both boys have lived in Salt Lake all

/ lice q number OF times before on petty
charges. They were locked up in the

and viii be taken before the Juvenile
court today.
