Then she was fast asleep.
The storm ragged; savage bursts
of wind rocked the little freight
car; the rain Kissed viciously
against their fIail hotel; thunder
roared and lightning rent sky and
earth. The weary night-farers
Slept with pandemonium DINING
lin their ears.
He sat with his back against
the side of the car, pistol in one
hand, the other lying tenderly up
on the drenched hair of the girl
whose head rested upon his leg.
She had slipped down from his
shoulder; he did not have the de-
sire or the energy to prevent it.
At his side lay the discarded whis-
kers. Manfully as he had fought
against the impelling desire to
sleep, he could not beat it off. His
last waking thought was of the
effort he must make to reach
Dangloss with the warning.
Then the storm abated; the
soft drip of rain from the caves
of the car beat a monotonous tat
too in the pools below; the raw
winds from the mountains blew
|stealthily in the wake of the tor
nado, picking up the waste that
had been left behind only to cast
1t aside with moan of derision.
Something stirred in the far
end of the car. A still, small
noise as of something alive that
moved with the utmost wariness.
A heavy, breathing body. crept
stealthily across the intervening
space; so quietly that a mouse
could have made but little less
noise.
Then it stopped; there was not
a sound inside the car except the
deep, regular breathing of Trux-
ton King. The girls respiration
was so faint that one might have
thought she did not breathe at AL
Again the sly, cautious movement
of heavy body; the creaking of
a joint or two, the sound of a
creature rising from a crouching
position to the upright; then the
gentle rubbing of cloth, the FUN
bling of fingers in a stubborn
pocket.
An instant later the blush
flame of Su1nhur match Strup-
gled for life, growing stronger
and brighter in the hand of man
who stood above the sleepers.

NEW SALARY
ORDINANCE
GETS A JOLT

AS predicted by the Times sew
eral days ago, the new salary or
dinance for city employees was
given a hard jolt when the judi
ciary committee looked it over
yesterday.
1t was discovered that Council
man Eberly, in having 1t written,
had utterly disregarded the &C
ton of the committee and had fix
ed the thing up to suit himself
and Turnbull. The increases in
pay for City Electrician Lauzon,
his assistants and several others
were cut out entirely.
The raise of Rudy Myhan, who
asked for 500 a month, was
boosted to $110.
The judiciary committee re-
fused to consider the ordinance,
and they sent it back to the salary
committee for revision.

from the Indian side and Russia from
the north Either one would have
taken possession of the country long
ago had it not been for the other.
German capital seeking .an outlet
picked upon Persia as the proper
place to invest millions. No sooner
had the preliminary steps been taken
than the other powers protested on
the ground that the building OF &
new railroad and the granting of con-
cessions to a third power would i'm
pair the security of Anglo-Russian
leans. Persia, of course, hasn't any

In spite OF all the talk about peace
programs it IS evident that certain Of
the great powers propose 10 "hog" the
commerce Of the world even If they
have to fight for it. Germany has as
much right in Persia as Russia or
Great Britain, but it's beyond her
sphere Of influence.

ONE THING LACKING.

The Chinese are still far behind the
civilized nations. 4 recent rescript
has absolutely prohibited the sale of
human beings under any pretext,
which is step in advance.
The system OF concubinage remains
as a blot upon the celestial empire.
The concubines have the protection
of the law, but in reality they are
slaves to the principal wife of the
Cinnamon.
Since the death Of the late dowager
empress and her SON many reforms
have been introduced in China. In the
opinion of many the country is on the
eve Of taking its place among the
great nations OF the earth. Such am
bition can never be realized so long
as the country passively consents to
the degradation of its women.

SANITATION WINS.

Nobody signs for the good old days"
down on the isthmus of Panama Be
tween the yellow jack and Chagres fe-
yer, exit from the world used tc be
easy down there. Now it's different.
When this government started TO
build the Panama canal there was
considerable sickness to contend with.
Last year, with three times the num-
Der of laborers employed over the
number working in 1906, there was no
increase in deaths.
More than that, on the entire 18TH
mus there was no yellow fever, small
pox or bubonic plague. Including the
towns of Panama and Colon, with
their native population, lre death rate
was thirty-one per thousand less than
in 1905.
One of the greatest benefits this
country has conferred upon mankind
is the sanitation of Cuba and the 18TH
mus Of Panama.

TIRED MOTHERS.

little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much to
bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking low
ingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled
hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours
so tight
You do not prize this blessing over
much;
You almost are too tired to pray to
night.
But it is bIessednsss; A year ago
1 did not see it as I do today;
We are so duh and thankless; and too
To catch the sunshine till it slips
away.
And now it seems surprising strange
to me
That, while I wore the badge of
motherhood,
l did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only
good.
And if, some night, when you sit down
to rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired
knee,
This restless, curling head from off
your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters con-
stantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands
had slipped.
And ne'er would nestle in your palm
again;
If the white feet into their grave had
tripped,
could not blame you for your heart
ache then!
1 wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clinging to their
Or that the footprints when the days
are wet
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
If I could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap. or Jacket, on my chamber
floor:
If 7 could kiss a rosy. restless foot,
And hear its patter in my home once
more;
If I could mend broken cart today,
Tomorrow make a kite to reach the
sky
There is no woman in Gods world
could say
She was more blissfuIly content
thanI.
But. ahi the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head; ;
My singing birding from it's nest has
flown
The little boy I used to kiss is dead,
May Riley Smith .

NAVAL BILL PASSED.

During the debate on the naval ap-
Precipitation bill, Chauncey Depew, aft
er referring to the well known fact
that President Mckinley was against
entering upon war with Spain, gave
some inside facts regarding the tall
twisting episode occurring during the
Cleveland administration.
According to Senator Depew, Lord
Salisbury, then prime minister, was in
favor OF calling the Cleveland bluff.
but was overruled by Queen Victoria.
The reason his lordship favored going
to war with the United States was be-
cause we had no warships worthy of
the name.
We were lucky to get away with the
OIney-Cleveland ultimatum without
war, II might not work so well sec
ond time
But whether we are compelled to
take a stand IN favor OF the Monroe
doctrine or not we need warships,
enough of them to prevent any other
nation from running bluff on US.
The naval appropriation bin as 1t
passed both houses of Congress makes
provision for the building of two bat
tieships, the keels to be laid down dur
ing the next fiscal year. The present
intention is to appropriate money for
more battleships at the next session of
Congress.
Peace talk is all very fine, but SO
long as the other great nations are
constantly adding to their naval
strength the United Statess cannot do
otherwise than follow suit Few peo-
pie will complain that the money is
i'll spent.
