Maitland herself had repeated elo-
quently to her uncle and old Kirkby
that night before the fire the story Of
her rescue from the food by this man,
how he had carried her in the storm
to the hut and how he had treated her
since; and Maitland had afterwards
repeated her account to his brother in
Denver.
Maitland had insisted that Newbold
share his hospitality, but that young
man had refused. Kirkby had little
place not far from Denver and easily
accessible to it, and the old man had
gladly taken the younger one with
him. Newbold had been in fever Of
anxiety over Enid Maitland's illness,
but his alarm had soon been dispelled
by the physicians assurance, and
there was nothing now left for him
but to wait until she could see him.
He inquired for her morning and even
ing at the great house on the hill;
he kept her room a bower of beauty
with priceless blossoms, but he had
sent no word.
Robert Maitland had promised to let
him know, however, so soon as Enid
could see him, and it was in pursuance
Of telephone message that he was in
the library that morning.
He had not yet become accustomed
to the world; he had lived so long
alone that he had grown somewhat shy
and retiring; the habits and customs
Of years were not to be lightly thrown
aside in a week or a month. He had
sought no interview with Ends father
heretofore; indeed had rather avoided
it, but on this morning he had asked
for 1t, and when Robert Maitland
would have withdrawn he begged him
to remain.
"Mr. Maitland" Newbold began, IT
presume that you know my unfortu-
nate history"
Il have heard the general outlines
Of 1t, sir, from my brother and Others"
answered the other kindly.
Il need not dwell upon it further
then. Although my hair is tinged with

cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself M
to him in complete and entire aban.
donment without fear and without re-
proach; and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow of
a reservation. She shrank from no
pressure Of his arms, she turned her
face away from no touch Of his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be-
tween them, and 1t was not for a long
time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs Of endearment, little pas
sionate whispers Of a beloved name
these were enough then.
When he could find strength to deny
himself a little and to hold her at
arms length and look at her, he found
her paler, thinner and more delicate
than when he had seen her in the
mountains. She had on some witching
creation Of pale blue and silver; he
didn't know what it was; he didn't
care-it made her only more like an
angel to him than ever. She found
him, too, greatly changed and highly
approved the alterations in his ap-
pearance.

tion Of the country, my home was in

DO you by any chance belong to the
Maryland Newbolds, sir?"
Eyes, they are distantly related to
a most excellent family Of the same
name in Philadelphia, 1 believe"
Il have always understood that to
be the truth"
"Ah, a very satisfactory connection
indeed" said Stephen Maitland with
no little satisfaction. Proceed, SIR"
There is nothing much else to say
about myself, except that love your
daughter and with your permission
want her for my WIFE,"
Mr.. Maitland had thought long and
seriously over the state Of affairs. He
had proposed in his desperation to
give her hand to Armstrong If he
found her. It had been impossible to
keep secret the story of her adven-
ture, her rescue and the death Of Arm
strong. 1t was natural and inevitable
that gossip should have busted itself
with her name. It would therefore
have been somewhat difficult for Mr..
Maitland to have withheld his consent
to her marriage to almost any repu-
table man who had been thrown SO in
timately with her, but when the man
was so unexceptionably born and bred
as Newbold. what had appeared as a
more or less disagreeable duty, almost
an imperative imposition, became q
pleasure!
Mr.. Maitland was no bad judge Of
men when his prejudices were not
rampant, and he looked with much sat
iafAction on the fine, clean lImbed,
clear eyed. vigorous man who was at
present suing for his daughters hand.
Newbold had shaved on his beard and
had cropped close his mustache; he
was dressed in the habits Of civiliza-
ton and he was almost metam-
orphosed. His shyness wore away as
he talked and his inherited ease OF
manner and his birthrIght of good
breeding came back to him and sat
easily upon him.
Under the circumstances the very
best thing that could happen would
be a marriage between the two, in
deed to be quite honest, Mr.. Stephen
Maitland would have felt that perhaps
under any circumstances his daughter
could do no better than commit her
self to man like this.

as the other hesitated, not because he
intended to refuse, but because he was
loath to say the word that so far as
he was concerned would give his
daughter into another mans keeping.
Il think you can trust Newbold; there
are men who knew him years ago;

"And If there were millions you

loyal through q mistake, but you
wouldn't betray a dead sister; you
would save her reputation in the mind
of the one being that remembered her,
at the expense Of your own happiness.
And II there were nothing else could
love you for that"
"And is there anything else?" asked
she who would fain be loved for other
qualities.
Everything" he answered, rap
turously drawing her once more to his
heart.
Il knew that there would be some
way" answered the satisfied woman
softly after a little space; love like
ours is not born to fall short Of the
completest happiness. Oh, how fortu-
nate for me was that idle impulse that
turned me up the canon instead Of
down, for II it had not been for that
there would have been no meeting"
She stopped suddenly, her face
aflame at the thought Of the conditions
Of that meeting; she must needs hide
her face on his shoulder.
He laughed gayiy.
"My little spirit of the fountain, my
love, my wife that is to be! Did you
know that your father had done me
the honor to give me your hand, SUBJ
ject to the condition that your heart
goes with it?"
You took that first" answered the
woman looking up at him again.
There was a knock on the door.
Without waiting for permission it was
opened; this time three men entered,
for old Kirkby had joined the group.
The blushing Enid made an impulsive
movement to tear herself away from
Newbold's arms, but he shamefully
held her close. The three men looked
at the two lovers solemnly for a mo-
ment and then broke into laughter. It.
was Kirkby who spoke first.
Il hear as how you found gold in
them mountains, Mr.. Newbold."
II found something far more Valua-
BILE than all the gold in Colorado in
these MOUNTAINS" answered the 9TH
or.
"And what was that?" asked the old
Irontiersman, curiously and innocently.
"This!" answered Newbold as he
kissed the girl again.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THIS KIND OF POLITICAL
MACHINE? ..MR. VOTER.

The publication of the amendments
and initiated and referred laws have
plainly been made campaign fund
and sop to Democratice newspapers.
Most of you-at least a part of you
have seen the eight-page sheets set
solid with these amendments.
The Western Newspaper Union, one
of the greatest printing trusts in the
United States, set this matter and
printed it on sheets, delivered to the
newspapers in which it was ordered
published by Secretary of State
Pierce, at a flat rate of $40 pei
thousand sheets. For the four weeks
it was required to be published, il
cost the papers of the higher average
circulation total of from $50 to $40
to fold it in with their home sheet:
and their pay Ito each weekly i.
about s1,740. For the dailies it cost
the state, if published in a daily
close to $4,000.
In no case has this publication
been given to other than Democra

tic newspaper, except in one or two
cases where there was but single
newspaper published in the county
and that newspaper happened to be
Republican.
In number of instances this S1,700
publication has been made in news
papers whose total investment in Of
flee material did not exceed $500.
In this way it has made a Demo
cratic newspaper campaign fund of a
sum estimated to reach nearly, or
quite 100000, all of which the in
dulgent taxpayer will have to dig up.
The same thing was tried in the
second campaign of Davis H. Waite,
and the result was complete snow

The next legislature, if Republican
will undoubtedly remedy this, as well
as the many other, Democratic state
extravagancies.

KAHN, THE CHECK RAISER
HELD IN $500 BOND

Sheriff Williams arrived in the city
Wednesday evening from Santa Ana,
California with l.. B. Kahn, the young
man who had raised $97O check
drawn by Jay Gillette to $9O.7O about
two weeks ago.
Kahn, it seems, became possessed
of a guilty conscience upon his ar
rival at Santa Ana, and went to a
physician there for examination as to
his mental condition. He told that
man of medicine that when in Delta
an irresistible impulse took hold upon
him and that he had raised a check
and secured money which he should
not have.
The doctor told him that if he had
committed a crime he should go and
give himself up to officers of the law.
This Kahn proceeded to do and he is
row in the Jail of this county.
He was given preliminary hearing
in Justice Coombe's court at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning and held for ap-
pearance at the next term of district
court in the sum of $500. Kahn is
said to be about 26 years of age.

Then every muscle that controls
the action of the eye ball was
isolated, tied UP, numbered and
laid back out Of the way. Next
the tingling nerves were similarly
disposed of. Then the diseased

to die and which were already af-'

operation Herman's eye was just

Then DR.. Wolff lifted one Of

cut out a piece of firm, live fat.
He nodded this into a ball, re-

Then he laid back and fastened in
all the nerves and and muscles,
and sewed the eye ball together.
