 Saturday night-over the tele phone"
 '1t was too late-too latew
 The music of the string band and the voices of the other diners receded He lost sense even of the presence ot the woman before him. He felt mis erably alone. Life had dealt hardly by him, he thought bitterly. There was no hint of self blame in his bitter. ness. His heart contracted in spasm of exquisite sorrow. Tears of self pity stood in his eyes,.
 'rThe end of the dreamw he sighed s'It was too good to be true. Nothing remains but memory-the deathless memory of what might have been. ' Even in his bitterness he could turn his pretty phrase.
 Tears were in her eyes too. "You'll forget I'm not worth even a mem ory."
 She could with difficulty preserve the steadiness of her voice as she spoke.

You are all he cares for, and he is far more worthy of your love than I am. You will find your true happiness working with him and John Dun- meade.

 "It's too late." he said listlessly. ''He and have parted forever"
 'Tt is never too late to atone for a fault Be generous to me. if not to him. she pleaded anxiously.
 The quality of his smile changed. ITO you? What is he to you?"
 "He is a man who despises me justly" she answered steadily. He is man whom my brother is cruelty seeking to destroy and to whom l have carelessly. selfishly, done the greatest injury one can do to another. Paul, know how my brother is tempt ing you. You will not do what he wants; please say you will not. See, Pm putting aside my woman's pride to plead for . man who hates Nne. Be cause if you do what Henry wants l must always feel that the crime is mine."
 'sIt's too late! It's done"
 'PaulY'
 A man at the next table turned sharply, hearing the low. gasping cry. He looked away again quickly. The cry pierced even Paul's self pity. He saw her face go death white; piteous, stricken look crept into her eyes. An unbelievable. stunning thought stirred in his heart.
 "Do you mean that you'-
 The sadly beautiful picture faded. The pity of self-of the man upon whom circumstances had played so hardly-died. He saw his deed in All its shamefulness. it's nakedness of de fense. The sense of unreality fell from him. He saw the misery he had wrought.
 "What have I doneY'
 ''What have we doneY"
 Mechanically he fuEibled for . bill and threw it on the table. He rose from his seat. As mechanically she followed Him out of the restaurant into the street
 He gave her one long look, in which she saw written all his shame; then. without word, he turned and left her. She watched him until his figure was lost in the crowd.

 He smiled bitterly. There is some thing you don't understand. He has been the first to sacrifice me. You

 "He hasn't told you?" "YOur brother has told mel '.I mean MT. McAdoo hasn't told you l that he went to the capital and agreed 1 finally to join John Dunmeade on the

Some memory that breathes within the walls!

Here sorrow sat through long and intimate hours;
The mirrors depth glimpse with shadowy host

OTHER TOWNS

The Sioux Falls Press, in an
editorial headed Aberdeen S
Rival" 7" discusses the rise of Mo-
blidge as follows:
Mobridge on the Missouri river,
hundred miles west of Aberdeen,
promises to become rival of the
Brown county railroad center, and
is making a bid for the trade OF
the grea, new county to the west
which has hitherto been tributary
to Aberdeen alone Mobridge is
singula,ly well situated for doing
a Wholesale business and is un-
doubtedly destined TO become one
the large towns of the state.
1t is located on the Missouri river
where rates on freight for the west
are readjusted and is bound to be
an important distributing point.
1t connn,ts directly with three
branches OF railroad tapping the
newly developed country in the
northwestern payt of The state and
a line to the north besi es. Its
road from the east is The main line

souri, river, until it taps the coun-
try in fou4 directions, thus giving

Mobiidge il far enough from
Aberdeen to become a division
point and already there is talk of
railroad shop aud extensive yard
improvements at this point. All
this is bound to detract from Aber-
deem, but if the latter town is
established on firm industrial
basis, it will continue to grow and
thrive as there should be enough
business in the northern part of the
state % build up tw good towns.
Mitchell, Watertown and Sioux
Falls have all experienced the eff
feet of the building up of others

a part of Their trade, but have ex-

A, Interesting Column of Items cuIIsd
 From Territorial Exehsnges.

Willard of Cottonwood is in the city and reports that section of the Verde Valley as experiencing prosperous conditions, the ditch service being enlarged and the cultivation area being increased materially over the preceding year. The future is one of the most en- couraging that has ever faced that community, and land is on the up ward movement in price.
 Mohave Miner: John Byron returned this week from Los Ange- les, where he arranged for the bringing in of a large drilling plant that he is to erect in some part of the Wallapai valley for the pur- pose of sinking a we'll to depth of 1000 feet or more, or until he has demonstrated the possibility of artesian water in that section. MT. Byron believes the Wallapai valley to be one of the richest spots on earth and that a few years more will see great fields of waving grain all over it.
 Mohave Miner: Dr. Toler R. White, physician at Truxton Canyon Indian school, has just returned from Phoenix, where he took course of instruction in the treatment of traChoma. The spread of this disease among the Indians and Mexicans of the south. west the past two years has caused great uneasiness among the medical fraternity and the government is using unusual means to stamp it out. It is understood that about seventy per cent of the Wallapai Indians have the disease in some form.
 Yuma Sentinel: Four Papago Indians from the rancheria near Blaisdell station are in the county Jail, charged with staying that one of the tribe who was found last week done to death by being tied to mares tail and dragged about the desert near by. Another h. dian furnished testimony that these four men had gone out with the Indian found dead when he was last seen alive. The mode of execution adopted it may be in. cldentall y stated, is that meted out Tn tribal custom to buck found guilty of particularly beastly offense. One of the Indians, a young boy of fifteen, later confes- sed his cOmplicity in the crime and told the story thereof.
 Williams News; Teddy Roose- felt, the lrrepresslble, was the guest oi Williemssfor,a few hours Thurs day and his many admirers had an opportunity of grasping him by the hand. Teddy was on his way to Phoenix, where celebration in honor of the completion of the Roosevelt dam takes place, and he ana family took advantage of their alslt to Arizona to see the Grand canyon. A large crowd greeted nm at the depot. While the hand. shaking was in progress some one shouted Teddy for 1912," and the smile that overspread the colonel's countenance indicated that the suggestion was by no means dis. tasteful to him; in fact, he seemed to be dee lighted with the idea.
