and acquired knowledge of the region came into play. Dismounting she led the way to a narrow little path that curved off the trail and wound around the side of high rock. At the first bend in the path she stopped and pointed out to her companion the strategic value of the ambush thus se- lected. On account of the tortuous nature of the trail the stage must not see the roadway 20 feet ahead of his horses. Having tethered their horses the two took up their stations, one on eacn side of the road.
 For three hours the bandits waited, Joe in a fever of excitement and proach of their prey. Pearl Hart. on the contrary, was as cool and uncon- cerned as in the days when she stole wltermelons and toted her backing box along Chicago streets in search of custom. It was all in the days work-a slightly larger contract than she had hitherto undertaken-that was all.
 At length the robbers vigil drew to a close. The rattle of the coach and hoof strokes of the horses re-echoed from the walls of the canyon and the girls eyes gistened like those of a crouching tiger about to spring upon a victim. As the lead team swung into view she lcaped from her hiding place and stood covering the trail with leveled revolvers - one pointing straight at the drivers head, the other at the window of the stage.
 Throw up your hands and be quick abous it,' she shrilled.
 The ringing tones of the terse com mand, replete with deadly menace, carried conviction to the ears of the stage driver He had lived too long in the west to despise an order of that kind when backed by the gaping mug Z!es of a brace of six shooters, even though it was uttered by a fragile looking striplng whom his sinewy hands could have crushed in rough and tumble battle With desperate clutch at his lines he pulled the lead CTS almost upon their launches and coming to a sudden halt sat swearing strange oaths to himself in an under tone.
 Pearl laughed triumDhantly as she

been prospecting for gold in Arizona, Pearl in both dress and manner looked every inch young cowboy, and the cobbler, who said his name was Joe, managed to strike up an ac- quaintance with her without much difficulty. It is GO miles on the trail from Mammoth to Globe and the trip was made very slowly. In the even ing of the last day of the journey the party camped three miles from the latter place and while they were there the Globe stage coach containing sev- eral passengers passed the camp.
 Pearl, whose observant eyes were al. ways wide awake to what was going on around her, had taken a close view of the locality in which they were en- camped and noted every rock and de- clivity with accurate judgment of one who has grown wise in the ways of the wilderness. The girl possessed wonderfully tenacious memory. One glance always sufficed to photograph the outlines of a face or the peculiar ities of a place on her mind indelibly,
 
 that at that time the idea of holdup did not occur to her. it is certain that the memory of that passing stage and the possibilities of the lonely trail served later to draw her into the ex- ecution of the crime which landed her in the penitentiary.
 On the following morning the party reached the mining camp and Pearl went to work as cook and office boy" in a sort of hotel. Before she had been there week Joe, her com panion on the trip, went to her and declared he had a good mining claim not far distant. She was out of money and said she wished to return to Canada, having become tired of roughing it in the West. The Chicago prospector's glowing picture of the claim led her to believe that they could dig up enough gold in a short tune to pay her way back to Canada, and she went with him. Several days work failed to develop any trace of gold in the dirt on the claim and she grew disgusted with both her condition and her new friend.
 She then thought of the Globe stage and proposed q stick up" to her companion The business was entire, lY new to him and he strongly ob.

saw herself mistress of the situation. Calling to her comrade to keep the drop" upCn the driver. she ordered the passengers to get out of the stage. They were three in number, two white men and a Chinaman, and they obeyed her without murmur. Her first care was to relieve them of their firearms, and that done she proceeded to search them all. From one white man she secured $390, from the other $36 and from the Chinaman. $5 Turning her attention to the driver, that individ- ual produced the sum of S8, which he handed to her with a rueful grin. The girl smiled back at him and thrust the money again into his hand.
 You may keep that" she said, laughing q believe you've earned it by driving three such towards across the hills"
 Having counted her booty the young adventures returned to the three passengers and gave each one of them a dollar.
 Being a good fellow I kind of hate to see folks quite dead broke" she re- marked pleasantly, "so I'll stake you all And now take run back along the trail for the good of your health. ''
 There was no resisting the force of this suggestion, backed as 1t was by the glittering barrels of the speak CTS weapons, and the trio walked has tily down the road. Pearl watched

No target was too small or distant to escape the bull let that flew from the nervous press ure of her small, strong hand, and the more dangerous and savage the game she pursued the greater pleasure she found in the chase. Circumstances seemed to have combined to mould the slender young girl into an amazon of undaunted type, fearing neither God nor man and paving the way for the execution of the audacious project which she afterwards execVted. and which was destined to make her name notorious through the entire coun- try.
 Her stay at Mammoth terminated when the largest mine there shut down, leaving her without employ ment. She had saved little money. about Sl0, and With this she deter mined to pay her way to Globe, Ariz She found two Mormon boys who were going by wagon to Globe and paid them sS to allow her to accompany them

 Perhaps he would not have con. sented had not Pearl ovCrawed him by a timely exhibition of her skill in gunnery. She wore in her belt a brace of six shooters. and drawing them proceeded to fire at surrounding objects in the most nonchalant way. First naming the target at which she was about to shoot, she would pull the trigger and in every instance the bullet sped true to it's mark. She used her right and left hand alter nately and after she had exhausted proceeded to reload them, remarking placidly:

President in Communication
With Many As to Pacific
Coast Conditions.

Washington, Feb. 2-No other ques-
tion is absorbing the concern of the
administration at this moment TO the
same extent as are certain phases OF
the anti-Japanese agitation in Califor.
MIA.
Tho president has been In commn-
nication with many persons who
should be thoroughly informed as TO
conditions on the Pac1fc coast 1t is
admitted that systematic agitation
has been In progress ON the coast,
but significant feature of its lack
of strength was the fact that the la
Dor leaders had taken no prominent
part in It, 1t even has been stated
TO the administration that the main
spring of the agitation was to be found
in some of the great corporations that
had found their profitable business OF
coolie transportation threatened with
destruction by the success attending
the efforts OF the administration 10
stop this class of Immigration.
For the fact is that, In the opinion
of the administration, the ncgotia-
tions with Japan for practically COM
plete closure of American ports to the
entry of Japanese laborers are jeop-
ardized by the extreme utterances of
certain persons in California and by
the mere consideration of such rens-
ons as were entertained yesterday by
the Nevada legislature.
oil
which are being carried out In good
faith by the Japanese government, are
regarded as endangered, In the sense
that the present agitation might very
naturally tend to abate the interest OF
the Japanese officials in the execution
of their obligations. 1t is these con
sideratlons that have influenced the
president to conclude that everything
possible should be done TO prevent leg
| islation by any state that would dis
criminate against the Japanese as a
class apart from other foreign ele
ments entering America.
There Is no objection whatever BY
the administration to laws prohLbitine
oil aliens from holding land in Amer
| lea. For this Is now, under the re
! yised statutes. the law in the District
of Columbia and the territories, AM
| in some of the states. Indeed. there
| is a similar law in Japan, and the gov.
ernment of that country consequently
could not regard II as anti-Japanese
J legislation if adopted in California
The president has entire confidence
in the people of the Pacific coast a1c
IS certain they will do right in this
, matter.
The administration is much pleased
, with the tone of the speech of Pre-
mier Komurn in the Japanese diet
today, go far as 1t touched upon the
relations between America and Japan
