thing has to be settled. Now" said the
woman, here is no question of honor,
but of love. I ask you, Man, do you
love me as you did last night?"

/"You have told me a lie" she
continued. "You have never known
anything but the truth"
Until I learned from you," cried the
man, what you had concealed"
The woman smiled bitterly, waving
aside this cruel stab.
Tell me the truth. Do you love me
as you did last night?"
eff you will have it. no." said the
man, rushing to his doom.
Men have taken a bullet in the
breast, a shot in the heart, and for a
moment have maintained their erect
position. The woman knew in that
moment how such things could be.
But / love you STILL" said the man.
"And / still want you for my wife,"

the woman. Nothing else, so help

WHY HE WAS BEING WATCHED

a Slur on the Quaint Old
Dutch City.

During a period Of polit, cal agitation
a stranger arrived in Magdeburg,
where, on applying to tn" authorities,
he obtained a permit or ticket of resi-
dence. He had not been long in the
town before he became aware that his
steps were being logged by a man in
blue uniform. He bore 1t for days.
but at last said to the spy: "Sir, do
you wish to drive me mad? Why do
you pursue me In this way" Il am q
detective, and my instructions are not
to lose sight Of you" was the quiet
answer. why, what fault have the
police to find with me?" shouted the
stranger in the greatest excitement;
my passport is in order, here is my
ticket Of residence; am a citizen oil
Berlin; why do you follow me aboutf'

reply, shat you were going to reside

The Mans Failure.

At five o'clock a boat put off from
the big white cruiser, conveying the
islander, the captain, the other officers
and Langford to the shore. The woman
met them on the sand. She had dis
carded her woven tunic and was
dressed in the faded blue blouse and
skirt which she had worn when she
had left the yacht and which she had
aver since preserved with such scru-
pulous care for an emergency like this.
Well was it for her that the garments
were loose and easy-ftting, else she
could not have put them on, so splen-
didly had she developed In waist and
chest and limb. She wore stockings
and shoes, and, save for a certain ma
tural elegance and freedom In her
bearing, she looked much as any other
woman, except that few women we're
as beautiful as she.
After a momentary hesitation and a
glance at the islander, who. after his
first swift, compromising survey Of
the woman, stood with averted head
| she, conscious painfully Of his every
gesture and movement--the lieuten-
ant commander performed the neces-
sary introductions. This ceremony
over, 1t was the woman who spoke.

"But could you not do this more con-

been told that she intended to stay on
the island, but he could not believe it.
"We shall be very glad indeed to offer
you passage home. The ship Is fitted
for a flag and the admiral's quarters

direct to the United States, with a stop

English Boys Want Easy Jobs.

Among English boys the long drudg-

preferred. The consequence is that

A FIRE

When the fire bell rings in Carson
there is nothing to indicate in what
part of the city the fire is located.
People anxious to fight the fire are
at a loss which way to go and much
time is lost in locating the blaze.
The first FIVE minutes of the fire is
the time to get in and handle it and
every minute lost after that some
times means an hours work and the
loss of valuable property.
Why not divide the town into four
sections. Let Main Street divide the
east and west, and Musser Street, in
tersecting Main at the Court House.
divide the north and south.
Let No. | designate the northwest
section, No 2, the northeast section,
No. 8. the southeast and No. 4 the
southwest.
After the general alarm let the bell
ring constantly l, 2, g., or 4 as the case
may be to let the people know in

Springmeyer
M ay Contest

The unofficial returns received from
all counties in the state show that
George Springmeyer was defeated
by Cleve Baker for Acknowledgement
by but 80 votes. Because of the
smallness of the majority and infor-
nation which he has received to the
effect that votes were improperly
counted for Baker in Reno and
Sparks. Springmeyer is now seriously
considering contesting the election.
The matter is now in the hands OF
his attorneys. and within the next few
days a definite curse will be deter
mined. However, should a contest
be decided upon it will not be institu-
ted until after the official canvass by
the Supreme Court of returns made
by different county clerks, which will
be made in December.
Springmeyer's investigation wa
! prompted by the fact that in Reno
and Sparks he ran 1900 votes behind
Senator Nixon.
The political complexion of tn
Lower House is still in doubt. The
Democrats claim it by one. but there
is a contest in both Storey and Clark
Counties. brought by Democrats
These contests will be decided by TIL
house itself, and both contestants ma
be seated.-Goldfeld News.
