Summed up, the demand Of Gov. VII

door, tho secret caucus, the council
of ten will no longer satisfy. An in
telligent constituency asks and de-
mands the right to share in the de-
alterations Of their chosen leaders,
or at least to be made aware of the
data upon which the deliberations are
based, and the influences that go to
shape their conclusions.
Even the close corporations. which
for years have sat silent under cal
umny, are counting publicity. 1t was
once the free right Of any one to at
tack rs Broadway, for example, with
out cheep in protest. But now 1t
is no longer possible. and unwarrant-

libel. An awakening public morality
has resulted in making the corpora

wi1ly-nilly. If they have to be good,
very good. Then they propose to reap
the benefits thereof. Hence their as
sertions Of immunity from irrespon-
sible charges. In like manner the
adoption Of Gov. Wilson's political
ideas will free the parties from open
or indirect charges Of a derogatory
nature. If they have taken the pub
lie ir:o their confidence, there will be
nothing to uncover or expose.
The day when the theories Of Gov
Wilson become actualities will tend
to rob politics Of much Of the interest
that naturally surrounds mystery, but
1t will be a day fraught with good to
the public at large.

PROLOGUE-Continued.
The Storm Without.

The woman's first thought when she
stepped outside the door was that at
all hazards they must go back. The
wind almost swept her away; only the
asteadying grasp of the boy, better pre-
pared than she for the attack of the
storm, enabled her to keep her feet.
Yet the presence OF that ghastly thing
on the floor which was affecting even
her iron nerve, prevented their return.
Whatever happened they must go on,
The door of that shelter was closed
to them forever by the dead or dying
tenant. She realized however, that
their chances of escaping freezing TO
death in this mad endeavor were so
small as to be practically none. Well,
fate had forced her into this position.
She would follow the path she had
chosen, whatever might be at the end
of the way.
Speech was we'll nigh impossible.
The boy staggered on past the win
dow, and she followed until the lee
of the house was reached. Between
a great drift and the wall, in a little
open space the horses were tied.
The boy was a natural horseman.
He had picked out the best two bron-
cos in the camp. If any animals could
take them to safety, these could. Not
yet chilled by the fierce cold, they
united the shivering, reluctant, terri
fled horses from the wooden pins driv.
en- into the. chinks between the log
walls of the house TO which they had
been hitched, mounted them, and
threading their way round the drift
started southwark on their awful ride.
They left death behind them-and 10!
death loomed before and on either
hand.
Except where the storm was broken
by houses, drifts had not yet formed.
The wind was too terrific; it swept
the level prairie clean. But away
from the shelter Of the house they got
the full force of It Although they
were thickly clad in wool and fur, the
pressure of the storm drove their gar
ments against their bodies, and soon
filed them with icy cold. There was
no help for IL, no relief from It, They
had TO bear II. They could only bend
their backs to IL and keep on, trust
ing to the endurance OF their horses.
The woman judged that IT had been
about one in the morning when they
had started. The Overland Limited
ran through the station at three. No
horses that lived could have made

conditions II was more than proh-
able. however, that the limited would
be greatly delayed by the storm. and

be likely to catch II. At any rate,

would find food. fire and shelter.

they were not turned adrift on foot

on until they fell and slept, and froze.
and died, they would perhaps get
away.
More experienced than the boy. all
these possibilities were present to her.
She did not pray. she could ask moth
ing of God; but she went warily and
carefully, helping the horse where she
could.
AS for her companion, he did not
give these matters very much consid-
Grafton. He kept going toward the
south to the rail . alton because
that was the only thing to be done.
Another, however, rode with him, 81
not with her. Before his eyes was
ever present that CORY, grizzly spec
tacle Of human form, the red blood
yelling from It's breast, redder still
from the white snow with which he
was surrounded. That awful figure
beckoned him on. He was younger,
finer, better, than she. He was more
fool than knave; she was all knave
Her thoughts went forward 10 what
was before her; but his went back
ward to what was behind.
After a long time 1t seemed TO them
that the fierceness Of the storm was
somewhat abated. The wind was GER
tainly falling; but the drifts were
steadily rising. and their progress
was more difficult every moment for
that cause. Their very souls were
numb with the awful cold. Still they
went forward, slower now, and more
slowly ever.
How far they had come, what time
1t was, where they were, neither he
nor she could tell. II seemed to them
both that they had been hours on the
way. The woman was sure that they
must have compassed the greater part
of the journey. when her horse sud
denly stumbled and fell. Her bron-
cho's matchless endurance had at last
been exhausted by the terrible strug-
gle OF their journey He lay dying
where he fell. and nothing she could
do could get him up again. The boy
had stopped, of course. when her horse
had fallen. He had dismounted and
helped her 10 rise. He had assisted
her vain efforts 10 get her own played
out horse on its feet. The two now
stood staring at each other in dismay.
You must take my horse" said the
boy at last
The woman nodded. With his as
sistance she climbed slowly and pain
fully into the saddle, took the reins
from the boy. and started on. Her
companion caught hold Of the stirrup
leather and staggered forward by her
side. The going was now Infinitely
harder for the remaining horse. The
woman Immediately realized that with
this almost dead weight plunging
through the deep drifts and dragging
heavily at the stirrup leather, the
remaining bronco would soon be ex-
hausted.
She had meant 20 play fair with
him but Il could not be. And so for
a long time the trio plodded on in this
way. the woman nerving herself 20 a
frightful action as best she could. She
hesitated 10 do It. She was reluc-
tant-
But no horse that ever lived could
stand such a strain. She knew that II

The Plant Is in Addition
to the Ell Paso Smelling
Works.

The s4OO. 600 copper smelter which
has just been completed as an addi-
ton to the plant of the FL Paso smelt-
ing works, itself one Of the largest
silver-lead shelters in the world, IS
now in operation.
The plant includes three wedge roast
ers for drying and roasting material
prior to its going to the reverberatory
furnaces into which the material is fed
hot. The two reverberatOry furnaces
are installed and one is in operation
The two basic lined cOnverters where
the blister copper is made are also I'm
position. These cOnverters oXidize and
make the metallic copper from the
matte as produced by the furnaces. The
basic lined converter is a new thing
in the art of metallurgy and there are
only a few other shelters in the world
having the basic lined cOnverters. The
lining of these cOnVerters is not silic-
ious as in the shelters at Douglas and
other copper camps Of the southwest.
Instead. the lining is magnesite brick,
an application of new idea in copper
smelling.
From the cOnverters the blister cop
per goes to the casting plant where it
is cast into bars or ingOts weighing 400
pounds each. These ingOts are then
