| Having provided herself with the right

At the very beginning of her social

countered a rampant of obstacles, deli

Marsden, as single man, with his

! men. He affected flattering manner
of devotion where it was worth while
not to be snob, and he said so little
that people thought he knew much.

to be no longer interesting to the fair

I'VE used to run about together con-

of boredom deepening.

In the distance she detected the
faint rhythmical sound of paddles,
accompanied at each dip by minor
notes from human voice. Over and
over again with each repetition of
motion, there came the same slow
strain.

It was, she knew, the chant of a
Garth boatman who was bringing the

step, until at the gallery's edge he
paused.

And his heart whispered: The love

In the truth of her woman's instinct
hers answered back: 81 know"
Together they went down over the
bluff and on to the water, leaving the
dusky-skinned boatman behind them
on the shore. An hour passed and
they scarcely knew. Then, hiding the

Good morning. sister


The clear, dark face of the Carib
woman wore no smile as she spoke
Her voice was of high pitch, but not
loud, and plaintively musical. With
slow movement, plainly habitual, she
walked in her bare feet to the door
way and let more air and light into
the low room.
Out of the long languor the girl on
the bed had just opened her eyes to
consciousness. The hands on the COW
erlet were almost transparent, the
face thin, the eyes unnaturally large
and full of troubled questioning. She
looked through the doorway into the
street of sun-baked clay and on to
the landscape opposite. Slowly there
formed in her mind the picture of a
Carib house situated remote and iso-
lated at the very end of the main
street of the Carib village.
1T is his house?" she questioned
Yes, sister," the Carib woman an
swered
Through it all-the fever and the
stupor-there had been with the girl,
as a part of an unreal world where
everything was shadow, the conscious
ness of two forms. Now she sought
to understand
why am l here?" her slow mind
asked again.
The white people, they afraid of
you. He bring you here. We nurse
you-he and l."
And my father-did he let him in 2"
Yes, sister. Because back in the
States he learned of medicine
The eyelids of the sick girl dropped
with WEAKNESS, while the Carib, bend
ing close, smoothed the pillow under
her patients head. The woman was
a pure-blood, and knew her own i'm
munity. She watched until the white
girls breathing came in an even rise
and fall that told of healthful sleep.
Then the woman went back to the
doorway, and with anxious face
looked toward the nearest cottage
the one that lay below them at the
foot of the slope. She was waiting
for sign.
Suddenly through the still, dry air
there came the sound of wailing-hu-
man voices that rose and fell in long,
slow minor notes that spoke unutter-
able woe. The Carib had learned
many things from the white people;
one thing was self-control In abso-
lutte silence she went back again to
the bedside.
There once more the eyes of the
girl were opening, and on her face
was smile of rare sweetness. She
had had a dream
"And he? He will come soon
again." she asked
The Carib turned on her the plain
tive eyes of her race. ''No, sister,

slowness. "Just now the fever took

booked out on the blue water of the
bay.

1t so. It's more to you than people"
And you," he asked; you love it
too?"
She shook her head. 81 love my
lake-my stormy inland lake, with it's
singing northeast winds. I'm often
homesick for it,"
AS he heard her words his express
sion grew troubled He knew so little
of coquetry.
But papa's still buying mahogany
logs she said.
1t was not breeze, but just a soft
stirring of the atmosphere that played
with the curls about her forehead and
fiuttered in and out of the folds of her
dress dainty texture of modish
northern make. Back in the days of
his life in the States he had studied
and loved the Greeks. Now he looked
at her and thought of the Graces. The
rare delight of her, who understood
his moods and made no demand for
verbal expression, filed him.

MARKED ADVANCES IN
 SEPTEMBER EXPORTS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27. - The export figures of the United States for the month of September show a distinct upward movement, the total value of exports for the month being larger than in any pre- ceding September in the history of the export trade, and also larger than in any earlier month of the current year. The excess of exports over imports was also larger than in any preceding September except in 1900 and 1897. The total exports of Sep tember of the current year were $168,s5S,O9S, against $153,962, ,s95 in September of last year. The imports were $117, ,271.O14, against $121, ,O24 $50 in September of last year. The ex- cess of exports over imports was $5l,5s7, ,O79, against $32,94S,265 in September of last year. This excess of exports over imports in September of the current year, $5l, ,5S7 ,079, is larger than in any previous Septem- Der except that month of 1900, when the excess was $56333, ,122, and Sep tember, 1897, when the excess was $62, ,l1l,7S6. The value of exports in the nine months ending with Septem- Der was $1,222, ,9111, POS, against ST. 161, ,024,910 in the corresponding months of last year. The imports of the nine months of the current year were $1,172,375,9lO, against $l,O6S,- 594,356 during the same period last year.
 The marked advance in the exports for the month of September is large ly due to heavy exports of cotton at unusually high prices, the cotton ex- ports of the month amounting to 399 million pounds, valued at 55 million dollars, an average of 13.7 cents per pound. The quantity of cotton ex- ported was larger than in any Sep tember since 1904, the value larger than in any September in the his tory of the export trade and the ex- port price per pound also higher than in any earlier September since 1875.

NEW TRANSLATION
 OF BIBLE IN PRESS
CFrom Wednesdays DaIlyD

CFrom Wednesdays Daily)
 After devoting the greater portion of a lifetime to compiling manuscript for a work on religion, John Gundall for many years a resident of this city, writes to Henry Braun from Saxony, that the book is in press and in a few months will be on the mar. ket.
 Before leaving Prescott MT. Gun dall confided to many of his aequaint ance his ambition in life and what he proposed to accomplish with his years of accumulated wealth.
 At the time he gave a brief out line of his proselyting motive, and entered into zealous discussion of the revolution that would follow in orthodox circles of the world, the revelations contained in the volume being so reasonable and so eontradie. tory to the distinct teachings in vogue among the many churches, that all in telligent and advanced thinkers would aeguiesee in the doctrine to be i'm parted through his efforts.
 MT. Gundall does not claim to be the author of the work, but on the other hand stated that so far as he Is to be associated with it, he is act ing only as a sponsor of the man who passed away several years ago. In reality, he says, his father trans lated the Scriptures, and the origin was a master mind of genera tion preceding the birth of his parent.
 Mir. Gundall figures as a compiler only and has devoted many years toward arranging its chapters and as- signing the various treatises in proper place. He is very enthusiastic in the work and believes that it will regen- crate religious teachings now seat tered through the many channels of beliefs.
 The work will appear in German only, for the present, with a linn ited number of copies. MT. Gundall writes that he will return to Pres colt some time early during the com ing year.

YAvAPAI COUNTY IS
 EXCITING RIVALRY

A Phoenix exchange, of recent date, has the following, which will prove of interest, affecting this sec ton:
 "At the Territorial Fair, last year, A. A. Johns of Prescott came down with an exhibit of Yavapai county agricultural products that carried off so many prizes that the whole Terri tory was astonished. A chorus of voices from all over Arizona, are pro- esting that this can never happen again, while the Yavapai county peo- pie smile and continue to gather in classy exhibit. The agricultural department this year is going to be the center of attraction. There is much good natured rivalry between the various counties and Ernest Hill. superintendent of this department, is confident that the agricultural ex. hibits this year will break all rec. ords."

CFrom Thursdays Daily.

 F. W. Foster is in receipt of many letters and postal cards from Harry Clark, as tine latter journeys in his automobile from Prescott to Tampa, Fla. MT. Clark, it will be remem- bered, left Prescott about two months ago to make an overland trip to his old home in Wisconsin, and from that place to his future home in Florida. He was aeeompan- jed by his son. After reaching Ash Fork, MT. Clark abandoned any fur ther travelling in his car, placing it aboard the train, until Albuquerque was reached. From that point he proceeded easily on the good roads of New Mexico, but when Missouri was invaded his troubles began. Of that state he speaks in doleful terms in auto travelling, and would advise flying machine for the tourist.
 He reached Moline, H., where his ear was made, October 3, and speaks of the customary breaks and other mechanical epidemies experienced On October 20 he was in Atlanta, Ga, where he found excellent roads for auto travel. In crossing Tenn essee, he has a vail of woe to ut ter on account of bad highways. Of Alabama and Kentucky, his sorrows are plentiful, with chasers in blow outs and loose screws innumerable.
 He expects to reach his destins- tion in about four days.
 He passed through but two days of rain On the long journey, and nas thoroughly enjoyed the trip. His best run was 200 miles in a day, in the entire distance of over 5000 miles. He was lost twenty-seven times, but got on the right track without much discomfort later.

Returning from Los Angeles yes terday after an absence of several weeks, F. L. Dwight, president of the Grand Mountain Mining company, made the important announcement that he had taken over the Apache Maid group of mines at Chaparral Siding, and would start development immediately. He purchased a new hoist and other equipment from the Arizona Mine Supply company, to be installed on the property. It is intimated that the Apache Maid wiS be merged into the Grand Mountain interests.
 After the Apache Maid operations are under way, it is his intention to take over and begin development on the Peter Laux mines, adjoining the Grand Mountain on the south, which will make one of the most attractive mineral combinations in that section. The Laux mines are noted for the high grade silver ores ranging to 90 ounces in silver per ton, with by products values in other metals, prin- eipally lead.
 Speaking of the progress of de- velopment on the Grand Mountain, NIT. Dwight is very enthusiastic over what has been accomplished and the mineral rating established. There

VALIANT MEXICAN CALLED ID HIS
 REWARD
(From Fridays Daily.)

The career of one of the best known Mexican residents of North ern Arizona, and also one who bore an excellent name for the many val iant deeds he performed in the days of the Apache warfare, ended yes terday, when Pedro Corona sueeumb- ed to Bright's disease. The death of this man removes one who was flaw orably known in the early sos for the service he rendered the military and civil authorities in making known the movements of the Apache, and on several occasions his aetiv- ities saved many human lives. Par ticularly was this true, when through his vigilance he warned NJ. P. Free man that his large freighting outfit was to be attacked in Skull Valley. This warning was needed and when the fight took place and the slaughter was frigntful among the red men, Corona came into prominence, and was extended many considerations for his faithful service.
 This combat resulted in that sec tion being christened Skull Valley, from the many skulls that were seen afterward as a result of that memor- able battle.
 Mir. Corona was old, reaching s5 years. He had resided in this eoun- ty continuously for over forty-five years, and was always regarded as an upright and industrious man. In recent years he was unable to per form his accustomed work, disease what was once a wig orous frame. He was a native of San Antonio, Sonora, and besides an aged wife, he leaves three sons to mourn his loss, Alaseo, Pete and LOT enzo. The sympathy of all is ex- tended the bereaved relatives in the loss of this good man. The body is lying at Runners parlors.

 The Grand Mountain and Laux mines are situated two miles west of Humboldt. That zone is now very active and is attracting the atten- tion of mining engineers who nave in sPeeted many of the deeper work ings.
 In that neighborhood negotiations are said to have been practically closed for the taking over of another property by Eastern capitalists.
 These movements are significant of the inviting possibilities of that old field, which until recent months, has nexer been explored to depth. Sur face workings, many years ago, gave flattering returns in silver-lead ores, but as exploitation follows this min eralogieal condition is changing to gold and copper values.
