Miss Kitty's auto, and she was run
ming it herself After getting out of
the crowd, and heading up the shore
they saw a young man half a mile
ahead of them. He was scuffing along
on the hard track and was in their
path. The honk. honk. was sounded
but he paid no attention. He wanted
to be run over and have that aching
tooth smashed out.
The autmobile passed him within
two feet and in spite of himself he
gave jump and swallowed the pep
permintsoaked wad of cotton He
then had to produce more cotton and
more peppermint for his aching tooth.
Mr.. Gilletts walk had extended two
miles when he sat down on q hum
mock and resorted to more pepper
mint. His sister was right; it began
to have a soothing effect! He began
to feel glad that he was alive and
away from the snow heaps of New
York city. Just then he caught sight
Of the auto returning. AS it drew
near, he saw that Miss Edna Blair
was passably good looking and that
Miss Kitty Waldron was more so. The
auto was aiming to pass him within
few feet, but that was all right. He
reasoned that the girls desired a near
or view of the young man, whom they
had so frightened. and he was right
about it. They didn't seem to see
him, Of course, but that was false
pretense.
And after that fate stepped In. The
auto was exactly opposite Philip to
an inch, and exactly six feet and one
inch and half away, when a front
tire exploded with a bang. Two
young ladies screamed. The auto ran
wild until half buried in the sand.
The young man was blown over on
his back by the conclusion and swal-
lowed his wad of cotton for the sec
ond time in an hour.
He would have, been less than hui
man if he hadn't arisen with a face
as red as paint and cross all the way
through. He grabbed for his hat and
might have gone running over the
sand dunes had not sweet and plain
tive voice reached his ears:
"Oh, sir, please do help us! We
have bursted a tire!"
Yes, he would help. AS a gentle
man he must do SO; but he made up
his mind to do no more. That is, he
wouldn't speak a word to those girls.
They had fed him on cotton, so to
speak. and he would have bis revenge

When the tide is out at Palm

Others speed up and down in their au-

and gaze out seward and imagine

On a certain day in the present
twentieth century Philip Gillett was
among those who walked. He was
young man at the beach with his
mother and sister, and his occupation
when at home in New York was pre-
pairing himself for architecture. He
did that mostly by looking at one or

Their who had insisted that the young
man take up architecture. There
never had been an architect in the
Gillett family and he wanted one.
He had a manor house, and he wanted
a hennery built, and he wanted to
point to it after it was finished and
say: "a Gillett did that"
On this particular day Philip Gillett
had toothache and he set out to walk
it off His sister had told him to hold
a wad of cotton saturated with pep
permint essence in his mouth, and to
keep his mouth shut. He thought a
good deal of his sister, and he was
Obeying her.
Toothache affects a person pecu-
rly-particularly a man. 1t gives
him what is known as a crouch. He
wants to stand on the beach and see
a dentist drown in the sea. He isn't
to blame, but everybody else is. And
what made young Mr. Gillett crosser
still was the fact that he had to chew
cotton and keep his mouth shut 1t
was not dignifed. 1t was taking un-
due advantage of a fellow.

In fearful accident. the exact

well known and highly respected
citizen of Grand Junction, met death
at an early hour this afternoon at a
point in the public road just over the

about 21a miles northeast of the
town of Fruita.
The news of the accident reached
this city about o'clock, and, spread
ing rapidly proved profound shock

that the sad intelligence came as
terrible and. wholly unexpected blow
to the wife and children OF the dead
man.

ranch. in the best of health and ex-
peeting to return home this after

He has visited the property at fire.

This morning Mr.. Jacobshagen
drove down to the ranch in his bug

were standing hitched in front of the
Minton home. She felt sure that it
was Mr.. Jacobshagen's buggy; that
he was at his ranch, and thought no
more of the matter. Later in the
forenoon she heard several shots
fred. She looked out once and saw
Mr.. Jacobshagen walking along the
ditch bank, on his ranch, gun in

and shooting at prairie dogs, which
had become very numerous of late.
The noon hour came, and the Min

Presently a shot was heard Mrs
