That was all.
Two weeks later the American was
surprised to get d letter from Courtice
Pounds, saying that if the young lady re-
ferred To were still free lie would like
TO get into communication with her.
Would she care to appear in London in a.
first -class production, at frst-class

The American girI-student i'll Paris re-
piled yes. Naturally, she was all ex-
cited and curious-a girl who had never
sung for any impresario.
They do these things mysteriously in
London: also promptly. When her re-
ply reached Courtice Pounds. he handed
it to Henry Dana. manager for Sir Her
bert Beerbohm Tree. actor director of
His Msjesty's Theater: and the next step
was to have the young lady run over tn
London To sing before Sir Herbert and
Lady Tree. While mystery still lowered
over the affair. delight in the unknown
American girl from Paris was freely e.
pressed. But one objection Mas made. II
was TO her American accent. Sir Her
bert asked her to prepare a scene from
Offenbach's "Orphee aux Enters

''Eurydice. Of course was the revolu-
tiOnizing answer.

ton at His MaiesA's Theater for an IN
known American girl. She prepared the
scene and sang it on the stage with
Courtice Pounds, and so well had she pre-
pared it's slightest details that Lady
Tree said she could not detect a trace
OF American accent.

The month was originally a lunar period
that is, the time between one new moon
and the next. The calendar of ROmulus
was a crude attempt to harmonic the
length OF the lunar period and the length
of the solar Year. but the Romans did
not know the length of either of these

GUILT is PERSONAL.

TIN American pubic is about con.

funds were supplied by the very
trust he proposes to dissolve.

done, reblting stopped.
A remote possibility Ct having to
dissolve under IA plan which they
themselves can stipulatc, (sce Supr-

Untruthful Report

Somebody in Schurz sends news to the
Reno Journal which is untruthiul. A
few DAYS ago the Reno paper contained
an article about some property near the
Wheeler mine, south of Yerington, and
gave the Wheeler credit for shipping
sos, 600 worth of bullion i'll the pas,
month. This is not the truth, but the
truth about the Wheeler is good enough.
In the past six weeks there have been
shipped from the Wheeler two nice lit
tie bars of bullion, each valued at about
s., 600. This news was all i'll the TIMES
at the time it occurred. Sensational re-
ports don't go in the TIMES, unless the
facts are absolutely known. The truth
about this district is good enough and
this paper is just as ready to contradict
untiuthful reports as it is to publish
truthful ones.
