the whole room full of diners into

sisted by several women the manager
succeeded in quieting the woman and
she was removed to the Kings County

no baggage. 1t is believed that the
name given by her is fictitious and
her identity is still shrouded in mys-

fog-bank. the brass bed screwed to

green plush. the polished table with q
vase of flowers topping it. the glisten-

realizing that l did so. for my one
true impression concentrated itself
upon the living occupants.
There were two present. At low

fronting q mirror, yet with eyes
fastened upon an open book lying In
her lap. sat a woman. The lowered
head yielded me only an indistinct out
line Of her features. yet the full throat
and rounded cheek gave pledge Of
both youth and beauty. Standing al
most directly behind her chair. with
short, curly locks. crowned by smart
white cap, her hands busted amid her
mistresses' tresses. was q maid. petite.
roguish. fluttering about like hum
ming bird. The latter saw me at once,
pausing in her work with eyes wide
open in surprise, but the preoccupied
mistress did not even glance up. She
must have heard the sound Of the
door, however, for she spoke care
lessly:
Il thought you were never coming.
What caused you to sail so suddenly"
These unexpected words, uttered SO
naturally. served partially to arouse
me from the dull torpor of surprise. l
clenched my hands. wondering if l
was really awake. and stared back into
the frightened eyes of the maid, who
appeared equally incapable of articula-
tion. Suddenly she found voice.
1T is not re one. madame" she
cried. shrinking back. Non. non; 1t
is un homme stranger"
What is that you say. Celeste?"
and the other arose swiftly to her
feet. the open book dropping to the
floor as she turned to face me. In
stantly l recognized her, in spite of
the long hair trailing unconfined far
below her waist-recognized her with
a sudden leap upward of my heart into
my thoat. There was no semblance Of
fear. only undisguised amazement. in
the dark gray eyes that met mine.
"What-what is the meaning Of this
strange intrusion? Are you a member
of the crew."
Instantly my cap came off. the
thought occurring to ME of what
rough figure I must be making in my
soaked jacket. with the glistenins
peak of my cap shadowing my face.
NO. madame" and l bowed before
her Il am not one of your crew. My
my entrance here was entirely a
mistake"
She leaned forward. one white hand
grasping the back of her chair. the ex-
preston in her eyes changing as she
read my face. perplexity merging into
faint recollection.

confessed at last. changing her speech
to a slightly broken Spanish. you

The exchange of ground between the city and the Arizona Eastern Railway company, by which the city gives the railroad company part of Newton street and receives part of Tebs street and the new foot bridge across Pinal creek at the freight depot, was formal ly completed last night.
 Assistant Superintendent Dave Reid representing the Arizona Eastern made a formal tender of the Tebs street prop erty and the bridge in question. The mayor and the city clerk were ordered to tender to the railroad company a deed for the extension of Newton street.
 This exchange of ground was made several months ago, but the formality of making out the deed had never been complied with.
 J. w. Brown was granted permission to install an eight-foot electric sign in front of his store.
 City Clerk Welch was given permis- sion to cancel several small unclaimed checks, which have been outstanding for over a year, and place the money to the credit of the proper funds.
 The bond of John Toy, the new city dog catcher, was approved. John Nor ton, R. McBroOm and $. II. Van Slyck act as sureties on the bond to the amount of $500.
