self in a dissertation upon rose-win-
dows. when Agatha First interrupted
us by running up and exclaiming:
DO come and see the waterfall
Peterson says there's q beauty over
there in those woods!" She had been
down to the road with something or
other from the spread, where the au-
tomobile and the chauffeur awaited
our return.
"A WATERFALL" said Archibald
Dear mel How jolly! Let's go and
see It'll" E9
"Come on. then" cried Agatha
First pausing and looking at him
expectantly. He rose obediently. but
before he could more than utter the
words Delighted. Pm sure!" Agatha
Sixth had risen also. and was now
confronting him. as she coldly and
haughtily reminded him that he had
promised to go and look for wild
flowers with her. 1t was putting the
old boy in an awkward position, ad-
NIT, but that's no excuse for his sub
sequent behavior. A tactful speech
would have saved the day. but that

made him want most at that moment
the girl who wanted him least. And
that girl was certainly Agatha First,
for without waiting to see whether he
came or not, she had run of by her
self. all eagerness to see the water
fall.
Without considering the rashness
of such speech, Archibald replied to
Agatha Sixth's rebuke by remarking
casually: $50 / did promise to go
and look for wild flowers. but / didn't
know about the waterfall then;
wouldn't you rather come and see
that first?" We shuddered to hear
him. Dearest and l. It was pretty bad,
you know. Yet. as say thought
/ understood just how he came to say
the fatal words just what spirit
prompted him. But Dearest thinks
not. She says that he's far too cal
culating far too much on the look
out for his own interests to run the
risk Of losing Agatha Sixth deliberate
ly. She thinks he was only embar-
raised. But we both thought that
the most peculiar thing about the
whole affair was the fact that Agatha
First. having left the group immedi-
ately her unfortunate invitation was
given. must have been quite ignorant
of the trouble It had caused. She
seemed. indeed. the whole time to be
absolutely oblivious TO the situation
in regard to Agatha Sixth and Ter
hume. And this was the more ex-
traordinary because any one else. any
impartial observer with his eyes
open. must, 1t seemed, have been
aware of an affair Of some kind or
other between the two. But Miss

Complaint comes up Missing

Case

The hearing of the case of the
territory VS.. Geo. w. Ford,
charge with the larceny of four
head of cattle, taken to Torreon
on a change of venue, was not
completed yesterday, being con-
tinued until this morning at nine
o'clock. In swearing out the
complaint, Epifanio Chavez
claimed all four head of the cat
tie. At the opening Of the hear
ing yesterday, an objection was
raised claiming that the COM
plant was in error and that part
of the cattle were the property
of a minor son. After adjourn
ment for noon, when the court
was about to rule on the object
ion, the complaint could not be
found, and another was made out.
The hearing will probably be
concluded today.

Las Vegas, N, M, July "a, - Nearly
every member Of Company H of Las
Vegas was arrested today by squad
which was sent out from Camp Mills
by the officer of the day. Many men,
bers of Company H, disregarding the
rules, left camp Saturday and yester-
day and went back to WORK in offices

rounded up today and marched out to
camp, where the boys were forced to
again don the uniform and do military
duty.
Wednesday will be Governor s" day
and Governor William J. Mills and his
staff will be visitors at the camp. The
governor will be met a half mile away
from Camp Mills by whole regiment,
under the command of Col e. C. Abb

the evening the governor and staff will
be guests of honor at an officers ban
quet.
The guardsman are eagerly awaiting

Desirable Cactus

Write to Luther Burbank Santa
Rosa, California, for a catalogue
and price list of his thornless
cactus. 1t makes fine wine, jelly,
preserves, has a flavor superior
to bananas, and fed to dairy cows
produces large quantities of the
richest milk because its chemical
properties are principally sodium
and magnesia. The cactus will
grow where Russian thistles per-
ish. It's development and COM
mercial value are wonderful. -
Mountainair Messenger.
And just when we were think
ing we would write to Luther to
send us some of these plants, we
came to that second to the last
sentence. THE cactus will grow
where Russian thistles perish. :"
Then they certainly wont grow
in the Estancia Valley, for the
Russian thistle simple will not
perish here, but thrives beauti-
fully.
