Pauline hummed tune under her
breath as she tied the ribbons of her
little white shoes and reached for her
tennis racket. With swing of snowy
linen skirts she tripped down the stairs
and out into the golden California sun
shine.
Playing tennis by oneself is never
an entertaining paStimc. but it Is
good exercise, and when one lives with
Il beautiful but melancholy maiden
aunt on a retired country estate even
daily gymnastics can border OH the
widest excitement.
Pauline's method consisted in serv
ing one or more balls across the net
and then dashing around into the OPP
posite court and returning the serv-
ice with lightning rapidity and again
darting back to return the stroke.
Pauline fitted back and forth with
pink cheeks and shining eyes. Her loos-
ened hair fell in two long braids below
her slender waist, and under her
breath she hummed the happy little
tune broken by pauting breath.
Once her strong young arm sent the
ball sailing high over the tall hedge of

Linden Mines

J H. Lewis: Linden is on the eve of
one of the biggest booms it has ever ex-
perienced. The old producers are
showing up strong, but there are two
companies which intend to do big
things the coming winter and plans are
already being carried into execution to
make the real thing come true. The
Linden and Miff1in Mining company are
ripping out the old pumps at the Rajah
mine and a new double lift pump of is
inch column will be installed. The
Mason mill, one of the best in this sec
ton, is now being dismantled and will
be removed to the Rajah and new parts
will be added, the entire outfit TO be
run by electric power furnished by the
Mineral Point Electric Light and
Power company. 1t is expected to put
at least fifty men to work here when all
is in readiness for active mining.
The Granville Mining company has
purchased the Smith mine for $4,000.
This company is on leasehold that
has been mined for eighty years and
the indications are that it will last but
little while longer. The Smith mine
is being equipped with power, mining
and hosting and pumping machinery
and when the shaft is in operation or
der the Granville mill will be removed
to the Smith allotment. The Smith
mine is no new undertaking. The men
who have worked here have a big run
of ore developed but lack the means to
open it up in good shape.

had registered time by his encounters
with Pauline Greye.
They had met many times. Four
times he had passed her pony cart rs
his motor whigzed by. Then he had
tired VI the car as an unsociahle
means Of locomotion and mounted a
horse. Often he had overtaken her
equipage and ridden slowly beside her
as they talked. for Pauline had de-
cided she would avail herself to Miss
Grye's permission aud continue her
acquaintance with the most interest
ing young man she had ever met.
Their acquaintance ripened quickly,
and one day when Pauline returned
home and saw tho reflection Of her
own happy face in the mirror sho
blushed as she realized she had learn
al the most beautiful thing In the
world. After that she did not drive,
She Shyly kept to the northern grounds
or dreamed over book in the wide

Paul haunted the roads restlcssly.
His own love was an acknowledged
fact to himself, yet because OF Pau.
lines unguarded position he dared not
trust himself to see much OF her. and
he was miserable when she, too. hid
herself away.
One gloriously beautiful morning
Ruth Greye arose from sleepless
couch and walked slowly among the
dew drenched roses In her garden,
She stopped now and then to iuhalo

aunt haughtily. THAT should be rea-

Il am sorry" said Pauline calmly,
but have been talking with the son,
Paul Graham"
what do you mean? Where did you
quickly.
In few words Pauline related the
incident which had led to her acquaint-
ance with young Graham. "He said
he used to know you when he was
little boy, Aunt Ruth, but II you don't
wish me to l won't speak to him

Pauline, startled by this sudden con-
fidence, knew not what to say. Max

mote beings who rarely strayed into
her practical little world. Still. she
longed to comfort the troubled woman.

And overgrown with the roses Of

left the room and went upstairs.
In the library Ruth Greye stood
with down bent head. her eyes fixed
on the rug at her feet. The roses Of

there were tears in her eyes.
At the end of six weeks the repairs

to her with such surprising swiftness
that involuntarily she sent it back

Again it returned, and once more
Pauline sent it flying over the hedge.
There was q sharp exclamation, soft
steps on the turf, and then over the
dividing wall of roses appeared a
shock of sun bleached hair. pair of
good gray eyes and a handsome tan,

The door of the library was ajar. and
Pauline pushed it gently open and
pceped inside.
Seated nj HAT desk was Ruth
Greye. In the subdued light OF the
dimly lighted room she looked like Il
marble statue, Her gown was white.
and above Il her white throat arose in
stately column to support her beau
uiul head, Her face was lovely in
spite OF its pallor and crowned with
soft masses of prematurcly whitcned
hair Her crows formed straight black
lines, and the dark lashcS and brown
eyes were dropped over the desk. One

Pauline watched her with admira-

been the sorrow that had taken all the
HIGHT from her aunt's face and left 1t
beautiful mask Of woe?

girls admiring gaze A faint pink

with the light breeze. Ruth moved
close to the hedge and buried her face
in the sweet smelling roses.
There was firm step on the path,
and she looked up quickly to meet the
glance Of Walter Graham on the other
side OF the rustic gate. Her breath
came quickly. and she summoned all
her pride and fortltudc to steel her
heart against her former lover.
His hand was on the swinging gate.
you have opened 1t at last, Ruth"
he said In n low tone. Did you open
1t for me after all these years2"
She did not answer. She was look
ing through the vistas OF the rose gar
den, for in the distance two people
were walking. 1t was Paul and Pau
line, and his arm was about her waist,
and the CLINT Of her golden hair shone
against the black OF his coat. SO Ruth
and Walter had once walked In years
gone by.
"Did you open the gate for me,

tiently.
Ruth pointed toward the lovers. 81

and 1t swung back for the first time In
many years to admit him to the gar

irrigation THAT was as suspicious
on our opponents part as the action
of the railroad conductor. A passen-

Why do you put half my fare in your
