MAKING REPUBLICANS IN CHINA.

Recent events indicate that Presi- dent Yuan will need every ounce of oriental guile he possesses if he IS to succeed in making over the old Chinese empire into a new republic. One Of Yuan's chief problems is to win back the loyalty of the Mongo- Han chiefs, who are not satisfied with fair promises but want tangible evi dence of future power Consequent ly the president of the republic finds himself in the curious position of making more priaces, barons, etc, than the old government had in the same district.

WHAT THE EAST DEMANDS.

The enlightened press of the intelli- gent East does some strange, cruel and mean things. President Charles $. Mellon of the New Haven railroad
 was summoned to Boston to testify in a case. On the steps Of the state of the Boston American and asked to bose for his picture. He remembered that he had been accused of not giv- ng time enough to the press so he waited. He was asked 10 smile and he did. Imagine his horror to find iR the paper the next issue his picture

with the words. Mellon Laughs at New England" The picture was used again over that of a girl in a coffin who had been killed in a wreck it was so alleged. The label this time was Mellon Laughs at Death"
 Such things are intolerable and show a deprayed desire for sensation. They are unfair and cruel. But the cultured East demands such things they patronize the papers guilty of such crimes.

PROPOSAL FROM
OREGON.


 one of the advantages of being a state with votes in congress and with men who represent the interests of the state as they should. is manifest in the propossi as the Portland Ore gonian offer to aid Arizona in it's movement to secure an extension of time to complete payment for irri gation construction projects. A year ago the request of Arizona would ! have been given a horse laugh of the ro sping and irritating sort. Now
 ptes count. The oregonian says:
 ''There is much merit in the move
 lent of the Arizona people to secure F,n extension from ten years. the pres snt limit. to twenty five years of the Lime within which settlers on gov eFnment irrigation projects must com ldete payment for construction. Com pletion of many. projects, amonS which is the Salt River project has been most aggravatingly delayed, and homesteaders who settled on the land sn reliance on the announcement of the government that water would be turned in within a certain period have suffered great hardships and have in some cases been reduced al. most to starvation by the delay. Since the government was responsible, the settlers have a just right to consid- eration.
 Anticipating opposition on the ground that the extension of time would stint uneompleted projects of the necessary funds, the Arizonans propose to ask congress for an ad- vance of s25. 100000 to the reclama. tion fund, this sum to be distributed according to the needs Of the various projects and to be refunded as money comes in from those projects after completion. The oregonian would be more disposed to support this move ment if the Arizonans would join Oregon in securing re-enactment of section g of the original reclamation act. That section provided that the major part of the public land re- ceipts from each state should be ex- pended upon reclamation within that state. whatever part might be divert cd to other states should be made good within each ten-year period. This section was repealed near the end Of the first ten-year period, when under it Oregon projects would have beer entitled to a large sum tha. had been diverted from the state. Arizona se- cured a large portion of these di- verted funds.
 Let Arizona help Oregon to re- cover the diverted funds and Oregon will be more disposed to help Ari- zona in securing additional apDropria- tion. + Oregon is to be simply the ,nilch-cow for other arid land states, it cannot be expected 10 become en. thusiastic over their irrigation pro jects."

M GEE WILL HOLD ON
 AS FINAL SHERIFF
Judge Sutter Decides Mud dle in Election Case at
 Florence.

FLORENCE, Dec. 25.-James H. McGee, sheriff of PinaI county, will retain his office for the present, at least, as a result of the dismissal upon the motion of the county at- torney, of the quo warranto proceed ings brought against him. They were brought by the county attorney at the instance of F. J. Mccarthy who was appointed sheriff by the board of su- pervisors.
 The dispute arose by reason of the death of the successful candidate for sheriff about year ago. Melee was defeated, but held that he was 'ep; titled to remain in office until his successor shoulde be elected and qualified. The board of supervisors declared the office vacant and ap- pointed their chairman. Mccarthy, as sheriff The board also stopped pay ment of McGees salary.
 It is expected that another effort will be made to oust McGee.

single plan arranged for their misery
and humiliation! Truly his blood had
turned to water, and he was worthy
Of death. The white man, always and
ever the white man won in the end.
To have come this far, and then to be
cheated out Of his revenge by chance!
Kismet! There was but one thing left
for him to do, and he did it. He spoke
hurriedly to his head-boy. The boy
without hesitation obeyed him. He
ran to the racing-camel, applied a
kick, flung on the saddle-bags, stuffed
dates and dried fish and two water
bottles into them, and waited. Ma
homed walked over to the animal and
mounted.
"Stop!" The white man leveled his
rife. Get down from there!"
Mahomed, as If he had not heard,
kicked the camel with his heels. The
beast lurched to it's feet resentfully.
Mahomed picked up the guiding-rope
which served as bride, and struck
the camel across the neck.
Click! went the hammer Of the rife,
and Mahomed was at that moment
very near death. He gave no heed.
mo, mol" cried Fortune, pushing up
the barrel. LET him go. He was
kind to me, after his fashion,"
Mahomed smiled. He had expected
this, and that was why he had gone
about the business unconcerredly.
What do you say?" demanded the
stranger of Ryanne.
Ryanne, having no love whatever
for Mahomed, shrugged.
"Humph! And you?" to George.
"Qh, let him CO.
Gall right. Two to one. Off with
you, then" to Mahomed. "But wait!
What about these beggars of yours :?
What are you going to do with them?"
"They have been paid. They can
go back"
The moment the camel felt the sand
under his pads, he struck his gait
eastward. And when the mists and
shadows crept in behind him and his
rider, that was the last any of them
ever saw of Mahom ed-El- -Gebel, keeper
Of the Holy Yhiordes in the Pasha's
palace at Bagdad.

it was. Your dad was a fine gentle
man, and one of the best judges OF
his time. You couldn't fool him a
knot. He wrote me when you came
into this world Of sin and tribulation.
Didn't they call you Percival Algernon,

"They did," And George laughed,

Shortly Flanagan returned. He had
half dozen fresh corn-cob pipes and
thick bag of tobacco. George and
Ryanne lighted up, about as near con-
tentment as two men in their condi-
ton could possibly be.
Said Flanagan to Fortune: "Do you

Fortune looked Mortified.
ooh, mean gum!" roared Flanagan.
No, Fortune did not possess that du-
bious accomplishment.

Flanagan advised.
They built up the fire and sat round

happy, all except Fortune. So long as
she had been captive Of Mahomed,
she had forced the thought from her
mind; but now it came back with q
full measure of misery. Never, never
would she return to Mentone, not even
for the things that We're rightfully
hers. Where would she go and what
would she do? She was without money
and the only thing she p6ssessed Of
value was the Soudanese trinket Ry-
anne had forced upon her that day
in the bazaars. She heard the men
talking and laughing, but without
sensing. No, she could not accept
charity. She must fight cut her battle

for never would her clear mind accept
smuggling as other than thieving.
Neither could she accept pity; :;
and she stole a glance at George, as
he blew clouds Of smoke luxuriantly
from his mouth and nose, his eyes
half closed in ecstasy. How little it
took to comfort a man!

"It looks all right" observed George,

I wondered why he was in such a

CHAPTER XVII.
Mrs. Chedsoye Has Doubts.

Mrs. ChedsOye retired to her room
early that memorable December night.
Her brother could await the return
of Horace. She hadn't the least doubt
as to the result; a green young man
pitted against a seasoned veterans du.
plicity. She wished Jones no harm
physically; in fact, she had put down
the law against it. Still, much de-
pended upon chance. Rut for all her
confidence of the outcome, quality Of
restlessness pervaded her. She tried
to analyze it, Intellectually at first.
Perhaps she did not look deep enough;
perhaps she did not care thoroughly
to examine the source Of 1t. Insistent-
ly, however, it recurred; and by re-
peated assaults it at length conquered
her. 1t was the child.
Did she possess, after all, latent
sense Of motherhood, and was it stir.
ring to establish itself? She really
did not know. Was it not fear and
doubt rather than motherly instinct? I?
She paused in front Of the mirror, but
the glass solved only externe}s. She
could not see her soul there in the
reflection; she saw only the abundant
gifts Of nature, splendid, double-hand-
ed, prodigal. And in contemplating
that reflection, she forgot for a space
what she was seeking. But that child!
From whom did she inherit her Pc
culiar ideas Of life? From some Puri-
tan ancestor of her fathers; certainly
not from her side. She had never
bothered her head about Fortune, save
to house and clothe her, till the past
forty-eight hours. And now it was too
late to pick up the thread she had
cast aside as not worth considering.
To no one is given perfect wisdom,
and she recognized the flaw in hers
that had led her to ignore the mental
attitude of the girl. She had not even
made friend of her; a mistake, bit
of stupidity absolutely foreign to her
usual keenness. The child lacked
little of being beautiful, and il three
or four years she would be. Mrs. Ched-
soye was without jealousy; she ac-
cepted beauty in all things unreserv-
edly. Possessing as she did an incom.
parable beauty of her own, she could
well afford to be generous. Perhaps
the true cause of this disturbance lay
in the knowledge that there was one
thing her daughter had inherited from
her directly, almost identically; in
deed, Of this pattern the younger pos
sessed the wider margin Of the two:
courage. Mrs. Chedsoye was afraid Of
nothing except wrinkles, and Fortune
was too young to know this fear. So
then, the mother slowly began to COM
prehend the spirit which had given
life to this singular perturbation. For
tune had declared that she would run
away; and she had the courage to
carry out the threat
Resolutely Mrs. Chedsoye rang for
her maid Celeste. Thoughts like these
only served to disturb tho marble
