Declarens had climbed on the street ear without fully realizing where it was going. It did not much matter, for any direction leading out from the big southern California city was certain to carry one to pleasant regions.
 For a time, until they had cleared the city streets, he amused himsclf wondering if he were bound for the shore or for the mountains. Al last the car swerved and he settled back with sigh. It was the mountains. and in his soul he preferred them.
 The restless surge of the ocean vaguely annoyed him. It touched the raw nerves in his brain that had trembled and thrilled to the similar iumult of business life until his in cipient breakdown had sent him west post haste under doctors or ders to idle and smuse himself. He smiled tritie sarcastically at the thought
 The mountains, so still, so eternal and nontipped with their cool green canyons end crystal-aired heights, touched himswith an actual sense of 2 quieting hand laid on his fore head. The perfume from orange groves assaifed his nostrils and DO rioting breeze disturbed the scenery which he amusedly thought was like stage setting in its vivid coloring.
 Above all it was quiet. He was just beginning to realize how blessed that was. A memory of the roar of city streets and offices caused his nervous face to contract as witf pain. Suddenly, as he still gazed al the mountains steadily nearing, hc thought of Selma.
 She stood out before his eyes a: distinctly as on that last day, 1;

years before. It was the strength, the calnness of the mountains that had recalled her-Selma had been like that.
 He could not remember when he had thought of her before, for his life was too rushed to permit wasting time on old memories. Indeed for 15 years what had lis life been but mad fight and scramble for more money, more powerF
 Well, he had money and a nervous breakdown to boot. She had read him well, Selma had. Straight, 1.-the, dark browed and red tipped, with eyes that looked into ones in- most thoughts with an acute sensi- tiveness which pierced all disguiscs as well as her womans tender heart. She had chosen between him and Ar thur Gore.
 "But you love me!'' Declarens had insisted in his desperate stir prise at her refusal.
 "Maybe," Selma, white faced, had told him. 'I don't lnowl I think love the man you might be, not what you're going to De! There'shso much hardness ill you, Frederick, that's got to be beaten ont before you'll be humanl You think you care for lne, but I'd be nothing 1 0 you in comparison with success a91 ambition.

 "Arthur!" he had gasped. "1o.. throw yourself away on hinr. It's, 3 crime! He'll never amount to any thing And his health-''

Wicked Retailers.


 The average retailer is bad, bad man! 1t is all his fault that living has increased in cost more than II per cent during the last year, and secretary ofagriculture isgoing to proveit by cold figures. The secretary is also going to absolve the tariff trusts from all blame in connection with the in- creased cost ot living.
 "Uncle Jim" has been assiged to report as above indicated. If in his investigation he IS un- able to put the blame on some one or some thing other than protection, there will be no report. You may remember that Senators Aldrich, Flint and Shoot convicted the retailers when the tariff bill was under discussion. Now the secretary of agricultu e must come through with some figures to bear out their theory.-Albuq. Trib. Citi- zen.

Meanwhile, 1t strikes us that this Antitrust league, which proposes a boycott to smash the trust, should pro- duce its evidence that there Is a trust. Any ignoramus can yell trust and call on the crowd to smash the butchers windows. But that is not the way to proceed. Let this Antitrust league turn over its proofs to the government (f 1t has any worth mention ing), and Mir. Wickersham will do the rest"
 It should be needless to state that the above sentiment is expressed by stand pat paper. Without dwelling on the merits or demerits of the plan recently launched by con- sumers to force down the price of stable commodities we will take issue with our worthy contemporary on the proceed ure suggested to remedy the condition about which there Is general and bitter com plaint. Some methods by which 1t is sought to obtain relief from oppression of what ever character may be decried, but so long as the policy of tolerance and procrastination Is the attitude of our admin istrations in dealing with those who arbitrarily fix prices to yield tremendous revenues, so long will people employ such measures as will best expedite the accomplishment of their purpose. Cheating ones stomach to live within ones means is a costly antidote for high prices; but the plan thus prescibed has the merit of be- ing the most available and readily effective one. Neither MT. Wickersham's accomplish ment nor those of his recent predecessors have been such as to inspire people to expect prompt or effective action in their behalf. Convictions of big malefactors that require years to secure, only to be overturned by higher courts are not calculated to cause confidence in the ability of the Attorney General Ito do the rest"
