Against White Slave Owners.

The first definite move by the Leg
islature to rid Colorado of the human
vampires who prey on the fallen wo-
men in the various cities of the state
was made Monday when the Senate jul
dietary committee reported favorably
on Senator Campbells "Macquereaux'
bill. If the measure becomes a law
it will drive the hordes of worthless
men who infest the Market street in
Denver and other dives out of the
state. Under it's provisions it is a
felony for any man to live wholly or
in part off the earnings of fallen
woman, to be employed in or about. a
resort or to encourage or procure wo-
men for improper purposes.

Board of Capitol Managers.

Conflict between the two houses may
arise over bills now being considered
that refer to the control OF the capi-
tol and grounds. The House has al
ready passed one bill providing for
the abolition of the board of capitol
managers on the plea that the capitol
being completed the duties of the
board have expired. But a Senate
committee has reported favorably on
bill to establish museum addition
to the building, the construction to be
under the charge of the board. If the
Senate bill shall pass there will be
reason for the further existence of the
board in spite of the declaration OF

CHAPTER vIiI.-continued.

No animal swimming out in the
darkness along the shore. no heavy
salmon surging, could have set the
whole shore afiood as though the
wash from great boat were rolling
!r. Could it have been the overflow,
through the Weir Brook, of some
cloudbrrst far back in the forest?
This was the only way I could account
for it, and yet when had crossed the
Weir Brook l had not noticed that it
was swollen.
And as I lay there thinking, faint
breeze sprang up and saw the sur
face of the lake whiten with lifted
lily pods.
All around me the alders were sigh
ing; l heard the forest behind me
stir: the crossed branches rubbing
softly, bark against bark. Something
it may have been an owl-sailed out
Of the night, dipped, scared. and was
again engulfed. and far across the wa
ter l heard its faint cry. Ysonde.
Then first, for my heart was full. l
cast myself down upon my face, call
ing on her name. My eyes were wet
when l raised my head-for the spray
from the shore was drifting in again
and my heart beat heavily: mo more,
no more" But my heart lied, for even
as I raised my face to the calm stars,
/ saw her standing still, close beside
me: and very gently spoke her name,
Ysonde. She held out both hands.
Il was lonely" she said, "and
full OF frightened creatures and they
frightened me. Has anything hap
pened in the woods? The deer are
running toward the heights"
Her hand still lay in mine as we
moved along the shore, and the lap
ping OF the water on rock and shallow
was no lower than our voices.
why did you leave me without a
word, there at the fountain in the
glade?" she said.
II leave you!-"
Indeed you did, running swiftly with
your dog, plunging through thickets
and brush-oh-you frightened me-"
Did l leave you so?"
"Yes-after-"
After"
You had kissed me"
Then we leaned down together and
looked into the black water set with
stars, just as we had bent together
over the fountain in the glade.
DO you remember"
Yes. See, the water is inlaid with
silver stars-everywhere white lilies
floating and the stars below, deep,
deep down"
What is the flower you hold in

white water-lotus."
Tell me about Yue-Laou, DILL Nbu
Of the Kuen-Y uin,' whispered, lifting
her head so / could see her eyes.
Would it please you to hear?"
"Yes, Ysonde."
"All that l know is yours. now as

TAKEN TO sANIrARIUM

Earl Byron, n machinist en-
ployed at the Monte Vista Motor
Car Co. garage, WINS taken sudden
ly i'll last Saturday with violent
pains in the abdomen while at
work at the garage. When able
TO he moved he was taken to his
room ut Hotel Grand and medical
help was called. He seemed to be
improving until Monday evening.
when agonizing pain occurred,
causing the man to swoon. There
seems to have been a difference of
opinion among the attendants us
to the cause OF the suffering and
DR.. Doan, Of Dol Nortc, was called
to the telephone and asked to
come to Monte Vista at once in
his auto.
The doctor was advised TO come
by wny Of the PLAN which he did,
arriving IS minutes later at the
Grand. After an examination. he
pronounced the case appendicitis.
In an advanced stage and rccom-
mended an immediate operation.
Accordingly, arrangements were
made to remove the patient to st.
Joseph's Sanitarium, Del Norte.
An automobile was made ready,
and with number Of young men
from the hotel the'trip was under
taken. Tho sufferer stood the
journey remarkably we'll and the
operation was performed about 3
O'Clock.
Charles Bechtsl, who wss ono Of
the party, speaks very highly Of
the sanitarium and. says Mr.. Byron
10 receiving the very best Of care
and 10 getting along nicely.

FIRE PROTECTION

One of the crying needs of Monte
Vista is fire protection. AT present
the town has not even bucket
brigade and in case II fire, well
underway, nothing can be done ex-
cept to look on and re it burn.
Some of the members of the
town board have bsen in CORES
pondence with various manufact-
urers of fire extinSuishers, and
Monday Julius PeaS6e, of Denver,
who represents the iWaterous Case
line Fire Engine Works, of Saint
Paul, was in town md gave des-
cription Of the Watefous engine to
a party of our business men.
The machine is guaranteed to
throw $50 gallons of water per
minute through two three-inch
hose for any length Of time. The
engine can be put in working order
at once and is guaranteed to do all
that is claimed for Il.
The price Of the engine on cars
at Saint Paul 10 $500. Its weight
is about 5000 pound. The bell,
hose cart, ETC., with freight added
would cost something like $1,000
delivered at Monte Vista.
A few dug wells 1000 feet apart
would be ample 10 supply the
water needed.
The proposition looks very good
and the town board have the mat
ter Of buying one Il these engines
under consideration.
The machine i simple in its
mechanism and can be handled by
one man. There ase now 500, of
these engines in usoand the COM
pany have many Il monials as to
the efficiency Of tbG 6achinss.
The following i . fair sample Of
these reports:
j. w. Smith, village clerk, Of
Osseo, Wisconsin, writes, IRE
plying to your inquiry Of March
END concerning Osseo's recent
fire and rs to how the Gasoline
Engine behaved herself will say
that the fire had gained a big
Roadway at the head Of a long
wooden row with wind in a direc-
ton to sweep the length Of it. A
large two story frame building was
burning furiously. Two lines Of
hose were attached to the engine
at a distance OF about Is rods and
though it took about two hours Of
the most persistent fighting to do
it, the FIRE was literally drowned
out. The engine worked finely
and saved many thousands Of dol.
