We were recommended to a boarding

that "only the best people will be

We engaged rooms and after horri-

The pension was rather dingy and

The whole place was In flutter II

she could hardly answer. 1t was de-
lShtful TO be able to show her how
coolly and 'unconcernedly we treated
aristocracy.
For the next few days we saw as
much OF the count as we did In BQu-
logne, and the Kays fairly writhed
when they saw how attentive he was
to Laura. Mrs. Kay swept our dining
room all day long with her opera
glasses and sent the two girls in at
all hours of the day with trivial mes
sagcs, but 1t was OF no avail. On the
tifth day after his arrival the count,
who was boarding near us, sent a
note round to papa, and in the even
ing he came and was shut up with
papa for long while in his study.
Then Laura was summoned, and man.
ma and | were on tenterhOoks till
papa burst into the room, very red In
the face and excited, and exclaimed:
Laura is engaged to the count"
We quite expected 1t, and still we
were very excited. A titled son and
brother in law was beyond our widest
dreamsl
Papa said the count had spoken so
beautifully when he asked for Laura's
hand. lie had compared woman to
the tender fern, which man, the strong
forest tree, must shelter and protect
from the storms of the world. He
would be able he said, to surround her
with luxurlcs fit for a princess when
the lawsuit should be decided in his
favor. Meanwhile they would live the

Rnce which his liberal and dear fu-
ture papa" had decided to confer upon
them, from which | gather that papa
had, as Jim terms It, "CoughCd up" to
considerable amount. still, no one
could blame him for sacrificing some
thing to such an alliance. After all
though | wouldn't own it to the
Kays-pnpa used to serve In the store.
Well, the news didn't take long to
travel round Pawtuckct, AID the next
day the papers were filled with it,
and whole host Of COnGratuatory
visitors poured In. We were the sen
satlon of Pawtuckct, and it was an
hour of unalloyed triumph. Mamm3

the count handed round tea and de-
lighted every one by his affability.

the way of the world.
When every one except the Kay girls
had gone and we were feeling quite
tired out some one proposed a stroll in
the garden. The suggestion was eager
ly welcomed. We had to pass through
our little sitting room, where Miss
Croft was fixing an evening frock of
Laura's, for the count was going with
us to a dance the next evening.

| was STOPPING to unbolt the door
which led to the garden when sud
den sharp cry from Miss Croft made
me look round.
"Pierre!"
The count started and looked at her
for the first time. He grew pale; his
jaw fell. We stood breathleSs, but the
count seemed turned to stone.
Laura was the first to speak. Her
hand rested in the counts.
What is the matter, Miss Croft?"
she said. "Do you know my fianceT

A confused cry broke from every one,
for the count had fed like a flash of
lightning, gained the hall door and,
hatless and coatlesS, rushed out of the
house. His guilt was evident-he had
condemned himself. With the utmost
difficulty we restrained papa from fol-
lowing him. There is no knowing
what he might have done In his rage.
But how describe the scene? Poor
Laura tainted, and the two Kay girls,
who had stood open mouthed and be-
wildered stole quietly away.

recent, the wound too fresh. But if

lently socialistic.

what a College Girl Can Do.

The college girl who lives In a small
town has perhaps the greatest power
for influence. Her education and ex-
pericnce raise her to a position which
commands the respect of those others
who have not had her advantages, and
this position she should use, not as an
excuse for egOtiSm or self SuttiCicnCy,
but as means Of accomplishing re-
forms In the life of the community
Starting a village Improvement society
Is an excellent way Of interesting peO-
pie in their surroundings and opens
to many an entirely new world-a
world which teaches that the useful Is
not necessarily the ugly and that en-
vironment Is the inspiration of action.
Beautifying the village or town is
bound to bring the citizens together
In n new and more intimate assOcia-
tiOn and does much to abolish those
dens of vice which diSfigure not only
the aspect, but the moral life of a,
town.
OF course this IS but one phase Of
civic improvements; there are many
others. In the factory town especially
there is n wide scope for the college
bred woman's activity. There is no
reason why the factory town should
be unsightly or why the employees of
tho factory should live In ugly in
sanitary dwellings; no reason why the
women of the town should not be
reused to interest In their surround
ings and, above all, to self respect.
The woman Of education owes it to
her less fortunate sister to encourage
that feeling of self respect which lies
dormant in the breasts of so many fac
tory women. Give them the vision of
something broader and higher than
is Comprehended In their own horizon
and they will try to conform their
lives to 1t.

To Protect Trees From Live Wires

Injuries to street trees by wires are
many. Often dead wires attached to
trees come in contact with live ones,
and all show exasperating powers
Of destruction. There Is little ex-
cuse for the attaching Of any wire to
n tree, yet the very unsightly anchor
poles and wires lead many property
owners to consent to the use Of large
street or garden trees as anchors.
Where this is done blocks Of wood
should be placed between the wire and
the trees so that the wire will not cut
the living wood and will have non
conductor to protect It against injury
through the contact of live wires with
0uy wires

EIIIIEN we returned from our sum-
M mcr holiday last year we felt
lV that we had spent 1t to great
W advantage. Besides the enjoy
mcnt we had derived from n trip to
France. we secured the acquaintance
ship-l might say the fricndship-of
the count. This fact acted like a match
applied to the touchwood OF local cs.
TEEN. But must explain.
Every year about the end OF July
when Pawtuckct begins to pail upon
us. we brOaCh the subject Of going
away" to papa. lie always makes the
same scene and says the same things
namely. business has been so bad and
he's not going away; we've got Il gar
den and might almost imagine our,
selves In the country; what's good
enough for him IS good enough for us
Then, having let off steam, as my
around patiently, he quiets down. and
we make plans as to where we shall
so.
1t was arranged on this occasion that
we should forsake Lakewood and the
AdirOndackS and our other f@vGrite
hauntS and go to BOulogne, In France.
The fact was that Mr.. Kay had met
papa in the city and had Dragged so
much about taking his family to Eu-
rope" that papa had on the spur OF
the moment declared that he had the
same plan in view. The kays live
opposite us and consider themselves

for the poorest "crachcr" had an un-

about him. He always walked up tn

natural response on the part of men of
low estate to good ma s.rrS AND oft

with the most distinguished and best
families of Virginia represented the
superior class. Moreover. that he was
Lee of Virginia and by marriage the
head of the Washington family had
n weight which the present CONNER

or cares but little about.
Again, Nature in one OF her moods
had made him the balanced product in
manners and looks of the well bred
and aristOCratic traditions Of the gen

an early age through the cavaliers into
Virginia life. But for his military

Chamber lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was given and effected com plete cure. This remedy has proven very successful in cases of bowel con- plaint in children and when given ac- cording to the plan printed directions can be relied upon with perfect con- fidence. When reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take. which is of great importance when a medicine must be given to young chil- dren. For sale by H. H. Watkins.

Underground River.

That Kingman has large body of
 water beneath it has always been
 known to the people, but that there is actually running stream there will
 be surprise to all. In drilling well i for Byron Fancher this week J. N. Cohenour, at the depth of lS0 feet, en- cOuntered seam in the volcanic rocks through which stream of water was running with such force that It cleaned out the drill hole, carrying away the spalls from the drill and leaving the water that was brought up by the sand pump clear and sparkling. The we'll was sunk few feet below the seam, but the flow continued to carry away the drillings. The water stands at a depth of about 80 feet in the well.
 Many people who have looked into the subject of artesian water believe that should the volcanic filling in this basin be sunk through a flowing well will certainly be obtained In all the wells so far sunk in the town water was struck at practically the same level. indicating that the pressure came from below. Three hundred feet undoubtedly would bring the drill into the older formation. The striking of an artesian flow in Kingman would make the town one of the most pros- porous on the line of the Santa Fe railroad. There are now more than seventy windmills and pumping plants in commission in the town, besides two supply lines from springs outside of the town limits. All these plants have a com bined value in excess of l00,00O$. With artesian wells flowing in many parts of the town the people would be enabled to beautify their places. line the streets with trees and make of the town the home for every prosperous mine owner and cattleman in the county.

The Colorado river, during the flood stage of last week, was higher than ever before known. At Topock the water raised far up on the abutments of the bridge and threatened to put the railroad pumping plant out of bus mess. A report was brought in from the neighborhood of Eldorado Canyon that the river Wednesday night show ed another rise of about a foot with a show ot continuation of rising con- ditions. Should the remaining snows in the high mountains of the Colorado watershed go off with rains there would he an unprecedented raise in the river within the next two weeks, and possible damage to the govern ment works on the lower reaches of the river.

Cause For Lively Dodqina.

Two farm hands were set upon by a huge bull while crossing rocky field One managed to gain tree. The other took refuge in hole that proved to have an exit in the rear
 The man who had chosen the hole was no sooner In at one end than he was out at the other. With a below the bull made for him. He turned and again shot like lightning through the hole. The bull once more bore down upon him as he came out the other end, and ence more he was in and then out of the other end of his hole.
 This strange pursuit kept up some ten minutes or more At first il mysti fed the farm hand up in the tree Then it angered him.
 "Heys' he shouted. "Ye danged min compeop. why don't ye stay in the hole?'
 The bull was dashing around out side from one end of the hole to the other at great speed. and the man was bebbing in and out desperately. He heard. however. his comrades shout and found time before his next brief disappearance to shout back:
 "Danged nincompoop yerself! There's a bear in the hole!

 The "newsie" came running with his papers. and the Londoaer prompt Y opened fire. while the boy took an inventory of his customer
 "Now. my boy" said the English man. sean you tell me the time by your nose this morning."
 The boy glanced up at the English mans aristocratie features and. smil- ing serenelT replied: Ask your own nose. sir Mine ain't rnnnin'."
 The Londoner got rattled. took out his handkerchief and had it halfway to his nese before his companions coarse. unfeeling laugh made him real ize he had been stung
