Our City Ticket

After carefully considering the
nominee placed before the people
by the caucus last Tuesday even
ing we are inclined to believe that
one of the best tickets ever nomi-
mated in Paonia was the result OF
their deliberations. The candi-
dates are all very satisfactory in
deed. The fact is that it is well
balanced ticket. The candidates
are scattered over the city in an
equitable manner and are con
spicuously competent and pro
gressive. We think this is partic-
ularly true of the candidate fol
Mayor. who in the past year has
demonstrated great executive
ability as manager of the very
successful National Apple Show
in Denver. Some think that Mr.
Oliver is quite youthful for the
position. We disagree. The best
work being done for the putlic
today is being done by young
men-very young men. IHE
NEWSPAPER believes that we have
a frst-class municipal ticket and
will be glad to see no opposition
to Its election By acclamation.

SYNOPSIS.

Baraka, Tartar girl, became enamored
of a golden bearded stranger who was
prospecting and studying herbs in the
vicinity OF her home in central Asia, and
revealed to him the location of a mine
or rubies hoping that the stranger would
love her in return for her disclosure.
They were followed to the cave by the
girls relatives, who blocked up the en-
trance and drew off the water supply,
leaving the couple to die Baraka's cousin
Saad, her betrothed, attempted to climb
down a cliff overlooking the mine; but
the. traveller shot him. The stranger was
revived from water gourd Saad car,
ried, dug his way out of the tunnel, and
departed, deserving the girl and carrying
a bag of rubes. Baraka gathered all the
gems she could carry, and started in pur-

the weather cuts up We'll go in some
where and wait, and see things on
shore. Will that do?"
Margaret laughed at the vagueness
of such a rowing commission, but Lady
Maud looked toward her friend in the
starlight and tried to see his express
sion, for she was sure that he had a
settled plan in his mind, which he
would probably put into execution.

"All right" Margaret answered.
Lady Maud disappeared below, leav-
ing the two together, for Mrs. Rush

and the Count was explaining to the
good American lady the delicious Rus

that 'caviare" is not at all the Rus

ner. Yet there was still shadow oil
exactly where it lay.
She longed to lead him into a trap
by asking some question to which ii
he were Leven, he would know the an
else, question to which he would not
hesitate to reply unsuspectingly if the
answer were known to him. But Lady
Maud was not ingenious in such COZ
versational tricks, and could not think
of anything that would do.
The outward difference of appear
ance between him and the man she
had married was so small that she
could assuredly not have sworn in ev-
idence that Kralinsky was not her
husband. There was the beard, and
she had not seen Leven with a beard
since the first months of her mar
riage four years ago, when he had cut
it off for some reason known only 10
himself OF course a recollection, al
ready four years old, could not be
trusted like one that dated only as far
back as three months; for he had left
her not long before his supposed
death.
There were the hands, and there
was the left hand especially. That
might be the seat of the doubt. Pos
sibly she had never noticed that
Leven had way of keeping his left
little finger almost constantly crooked
and turned inward as if it were lame.
But she was not sure even of that,
for she was not one of those people
who study the hands of every one they
know, and can recognize them at a
glance. She had certainly never
watched her husbands as closely as
she was watching Kralinskys now.
Margaret was in the best of spirits,
and talked more than usual, not stop
ping to think how Van Torp's mere
presence would have chilled and ST.
fenced her three or four months
earlier.
On the whole it was a gay dinner,
and Mrs. Rushmore and Kralinsky
knew that it was very good one, and
told each other so afterward as they
walked slowly up and down the great
promenade deck in the starlight. For
people who are very fond of good eat
