BY five o'clock in the morning she

so softly as not to rouse the sleeping

his arms, still flung out with the hands

She pressed back against the glass
until she felt 1t hard behind her.
Harry" she whispered, III you care

She meant It; she was sincere In that
moment, for all she shrank from him.
Her body and mind would not have
been too great price to give him for
the sapphire.
Then all at once she felt his arm
around her neck. She couldn't move
her body. She could only turn her
head from his hot breath. For mo-
ment he held her, and yet another
moment; and then, terrified at what
this strange immobility might mean,

white in the starlight looking up. She
cried out in wonder 1t was not Kerr.
It was the blue-eyed Chinaman.
After her haunted drive, after her
escape, after Shima's search, he was
there, still inexorably there; small, d.

house, but looking up at 1t with his
calm eye. surveying 1t, measuring Its
height numbering its doors, trying Its
windows. Harry was beside her
again. He was tugging frantically at
the window. It resisted. She saw
his hands trembling while he wrestled
with It. Then 1t went shrieking up
and he leaned out.
What do you want!" he called,
and, though he used no name, Flora
saw he knew with whom he was
speaking. The Chinaman stood i'm
mobile, lifting his round, white face,
whose mouth seemed to cape little.
Harry leaned far out and lowered his
voice.
Go away, Joe! Don't come here;
never come here!" There was a quiv.

She had take authoritative command
of the details Of their expedition, and
Flora willingly obeyed her. She was
still trembling from the stress of their
interview, and she blinked back tears
before she was able to see what she
was writing.
1t had all been brought about more
quickly and completely than she had

Yet she was sure tSat II she asked he

AS she was sealing It she started at

like her, with the same large eyes,
the same small indeterminate chin.
Just at the chin the likeness to Mrs.
Herrick failed with the strength OF
her last generation-but the eyes were
perfect; and they ga2ed at Flora
wondering. With the sixth sense of
youth they recognized the enactment
of something strange and thrilling.
Another instant and Mrs. Herrick's
presence dawned behind her daugh

YUMA COUNTY FOR
 THE DEMOCRATS

Yuma county has been democratic and Yuma city has been republican.
 The county is still democratic, more
 strongly than in the past the Yuma
 Sun insists, after publishing the re suits of the city election of last Mon day when democratic successes were
 reported fin the city. In regard to the election and the indications de rived from it the Sun says:
 That Yuma county is democratic in politics is plainly evident from Mondays city election. The town of Yuma has been the stronghold of the republican party in the county. That the republicans only elected a part of their ticket and that by compara- lively small majorities. shows that the town is very close politically. In fact 1t is no sure thing, that in a county or territorial election, the town would not show a democratic majority That being true it is safe 10 say that the county has a normal democratic majority Of from three to five hundred The valley and all of tae outlying precincts have usually returned a democratic majority That part Of the county lying north of the Giia river will poll from 1000 to I20o votes al the next county election. It is believed. by those OF the ground who are in the best position to judge, that north Yuma county is strongly democratic. The majority should be- swelled another hundred or more south of the river.
 The county being democratic ins politics on normal vote. the next thing to do is 10 nominate clean. strong democratic ticket and go out and elect it. The north end will have to be recognized and they have got 10 have some assurance that the democrats down here will vote thel straight ticket. Ii won't do ask them 10 vote for our candidates and then throw of theirs. What we need right now is little education along party lines and to be instructed m the adyisability of straight voting
 We are going to have a county election this fall The primary will be held in September. We want al ticket composed of the best men we have in the party and then we want to go out and elect every one of them.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

 The stringer of high grade copper ore which was encountered several weeks ago at a distance of fifty feet southeast of .he shaft. has been i drifted on for about thirty feet east ward and sixty feet west ward This work has shown that the ore averages about eighteen inches in the width and that the most ore pre- yails in the west drift. Apparently the stringer Is due to a slip in the shaie and a subsequent deposit Of copper. The ore occurs as carbonate
 The drifting and crossenting on the 660-foot level. where the stringer mentioned above was discovered. has now been discontinued temporarily while sinking Of the shaft at depth of 6S0 feet has been resumed. The shaft is at present 697 feet deep and Is being put down at the rate of about twenty feet week. The plan of the management is to continue sinking until the depth of 17S feet Is attained. when a sump will be made and level wili be established for the purpose off exploring at grater depth As deep mining seems to be the secret or sueeess in Copper idiii district. the inanagemers's pres ent policy should prove productive Of results 'ge s leQa

RAILROAD SITUATION

l NEW YORK.-There is no appar-
 ent reason to feel discouraged about
 the railway situation. Business is i'm

 certainty which is disconcerting. No one seems to know the cause of the i uncertainty. No doubt things are all
 right and will remain so, but at pres ent We cannot see what is going to happen. and SO most of us are pur- suing a policy of caution.
 That Is the general opinion of
 railway officials. representing near
 ly all lines in the country. who are attending the semi-annual meeting of the Railway association. They say there is a good volume of business. and earnings are ahead of last year. but an undefinable sense of uncertain ty is felt Aside from this intangi- ble factor there is every reason to anticipate prosperity.
 officials Of roads in the northwest and on the Pacific coast say crops along their lines are good. passenger business is improving. and the out look for summer and fall business is promising. In the northwestern states flaere IS a prospect for record fruit crop. Througout the. far West land Is being opeled to cultivation, and the fopalation is steadily increasing
 TrsfIic in the middle vest is much better than last year One road in Illinois depends o1 coal for at least twenty-five Der cent of its gross.
