The Old Watch-ToWer.

The Old Watch over.
A wall! A Window prison-like
interior! AS her eyes opened, the
Governors daughter strove confusedly
to decfpher her surroundings. The
wall seemed real; the narrow window,
too, high above, framing, against a
darkening background, slant Of fine
rain! Again she closed her eyes, only
to be conscious Of gentle languor;
a heaviness like that of half-sleep; Of
bodily heat, and also little bodily
pain. For an indefinite period, really
a moment or two, she resigned herself
to that dreamy torpor; then, with an
effort, lifted her lashes once more.
AS she gazed before her, something
bright seemed leaping back and forth;
q flame-that played on the wall; re-
vealing the joints between the stones
Of massive masonry; casting shadows,
but to wipe them out; paling near q
small window, the only aperture ap-
parent in the cell-like place. Turning
from the chickering's, her glance quick
ly sought their source-a fire In a
hearth, before which she lay-or half
sat, propped against stone.
But why? The spot was strange; In
her, ears sounded buzzing, like the
murmur of waterfall. She remem-
bered now; she had fingered before
one-in the woods; and Saladin had
run away, madly, across the sands,
until-my lady raised her hand to
her brow; abruptly let it fall. In the
shadow on the other side Of the hearth
some one moved; some one who had
been watching her and who now
stepped out into the light.
"Are you better?" said a voice.
She stared. On the bold, swarthy
features of young man now standing
and looking down at her, the light
flared and cleaned; the open shirt re-
vealed muscular throat; the down.
turned black eyes were steady, solicit
GUS. His appearance was unexpected,
yet not quite strange; she had seen
him before, but, in the general sur
prise and perplexity Of the moment,
did not ask herself where. The inter-
val between what she last remem-
bered on the beach-the rush and
swirl of water-and what she woke to,
absorbed the hazy workings Of her
mind.
The young man stopped; stirred the
fire, and after a pause, apparently to
give her time to collect her thoughts.
repeated his question:: care you bet
ter, now?"
ooh, yes" she said, with an effort,
half, sitting up. And then irrelevantly,

A Discovery.

"Why did you do that?" 1t was
Lady Elsie who now spoke, lifting her
head haughtily TO regard the new
conner, as she stepped toward him.
Gross yourself, | mean?"
"This good fellow, my Lady. IS sur
prised to see you here, and small won
Ter he forgets his manners!" said the
young man coolly, speaking for the
other. "But he is honest enough
and-intends no disrespect!"
None whatever!" muttered the in
truder, thin, wizened, yet still active
looking person.
My lady did not reply; her gaze, in
which suspicion had become convic-
ton, again met the young mans,
whose black eyes now cleaned with a
sudden, challenging light.
with your permission, my Lady,
will speak with this fellow" he said,
and abruptly strobe from the tower;
walked a short distance away, fol
lowed by the man, when he stopped.
"Certes, your tongue betrayed you
that time, Sanchez" he said con.
fronting the other.
: The man made rough gesture.
"C'est vrai!" regretfully. "But when
saw you two together I thought /
had seen a" He stopped. "She is
II so like"
NAY; don't blame you; the sight
was certainly unexpected! had
thought to come down and prepare
you, but-'tis done!"
"And l knew what 1t meant" The
old servant looked over his shoulder
toward the tower.
Call it magic!" with short laugh.
"Diablerie!" muttered the other.
"Well, have your way! Why" abb
ruptly, did you not meet me here last
night at high tide, as we had
planned?"
"The priest came not in time; fear
ing he was watched, waited until
night to leave his hiding-place at Yer
ranch
"And after missing me last night,
you thought to find me here today?"
Il knew you we're most anxious to
see him; that upon him depended your
chance to undo some Of his Excel
lency, the Governors, knavery! And,
then, to find you here with the daugh-
ter of the man who has wrought you
so much wrong; robbed you of your
lands-your right to your name!" A
cloud Swallowed the listeners bold
brow. 81 know not how it came about,
Seigneur, but be assured, no good can
| come Of it'll"
From where she stood, at the dis
lance to the tower, the Governors
daughter saw now the two men de-
scend; she perceived, also, at q turn
in the path, coming up slowly, as one
whose years had begun to tell upon
him, another figure, clad in black; a
priest. This last person and the Black
Seigneur accosted each other; stopped,
while the other man, who had crossed
himself at sight Of her, drew aside.

At length, somewhat abruptly, they
separated, the priest and Sanchez 60
ing down the hill and the young man
starting to walk up. Then quickly
leaving the ancient, circular structure
for observation, she stepped toward
the chtf, not far to the right; and in
an attitude of as great unconcern as
she could summon, waited.

WILL BUILD MORE BRIDGES
AT GREEN RIVER AND ZENITH

One of the first things the county COM
missioners did on converting this week
was to look into the needs for bridges.
The high water last spring hit the
second district pretty hard and it neces-
sarily exhausted the one-third appro-
priation for Commissioner Frank Ro-
quette's territory as well as cutting
down in the other districts. A bridge
was ordered in the spring for Antelope
creek and now the board has arranged
for one for the Manning road at the
Josh Fisher crossing The bridge will
be ~ it. long and will cost 81, 500.
Another bridge was ordered for Heart
river at the Truelson crossing at Zenith
to cost So. 500. and third bridge for the
Springvale country to cost 81, 500 was
also ordered. These bridges will be
constructed this season. The commits
siOners cannot do all that the people
want but they are doing as well as they
can with such funds as are available.
Citizens who talked road matters over
with Commissioners Roquette, Leutz
and Hughes this week were greeted very
cordially and after careful considera-
tion of matters were satisfied that the
board was willing to make any neces-
sary expenditures that were within the
law.
The board adjourned Wednesday night
until next Wednesday, having cleaned
up the greater part OF the regular work.
such as bills and reports. Commission
er Frank Roquette will be in session
Friday and Saturday with the canvas
sing board. On the 10th the board will
be ready to take hold of the equaliza-
tion work.

Early in the week the incorporation
papers for the John F. Davis Elevator

company for Dickinson. The
incorporators are John F. Davis. H. F.
Beidler and Roy Henderson. Mr.. Davis
will be president of the new gra in
house which is 10 have capacity Of
As. 600 bushels and is to be located just
east of the j. I. Case Co. wareho use.
The Walton & Davis Co. have the
contract for erecting Dickinson's new
elevator and will have the building
ready for grain within two months as
as work is to be started at once.
The new elevator company will
handle feed and seeds in addition to
the regular business of buying grain.
sAs our readers will note. the incor.
porators of the John F. Davis Eleva tol
Co. are all local people and men oi
high standing. They have confidence
in the country and believe that there
will be an enormous amount of grain tc
be marketed in Dickinson this year.
The new company in no wise conflicts
with the business of the Walton &
Davis Elevator located on the site o
the Walton & Davis Co. lumber yard
The four old elevators and the two f1our'
