at them, and in doing so, her eyes
the man below.
For a moment they looked at each
other without speaking, then she said,
her voice al the lowest note that
would reach him:
What are you doing there?"
Watching you"
Have you been standing there
long?"
No, only a few minutes. Why are
you pulling the roses TO pieces"
She gave a little laugh and said
something that sounded like y don't

balustrade
He thought she was going and
clutched the iron spikes Of the fence,
calling up to her in voice Of urgent
feeling. curiously out Of keeping with
the words. the first remark that came
into his head:
This is very different from Ante
lope, isn't it?"
Yes" she said gravely. "we had
storms and gray clouds"
We'll. must go in. The roses are
all picked and papall be wondering
where I am"
Il seemed to Dominick just then
that he could not lose her. She must
stay a moment longer. Urgency that
was imploring was in his voice as
he said;
Don't go! don't go. Stay just one
moment longer! Can't you come
down and talk for minute?"
She listened, wavered, and was won
over. Without answer she turned
from the shadow Of the porch into the
light on the top Of the steps, and
from there slowly descended, her
other touching the baluster.
I've wanted so 70 see you. I came
by tonight hoping that perhaps |
could catch a glimpse Of your shadow
on the curtain. l didn't expect any
thing like this"
He stopped, looking at her, and not
listening to the few words Of her an
swer.
Il think I wanted you so that my
will called you out" he said in an i'm
FASHIONED whisper.
She said nothing and suddenly his
hand sought hers, clasped it tight on
the head of the lion, and he whispered
again:
"Oh, Rose, If l could see you now
and then-Only for a moment like
this"
lie felt her hand, small and cold,
crush softly inside his, and almost i'm
mediately was conscious Of her effort
to withdraw it. He instantly loosened
his fingers, let hers slide from his
grasp. and drew back.
Good night" she said hurriedly,
and without looking at him turned and
went up the steps.

was hard to maintain in the friction
Of daily life with Berry.
Tonight, the period of i'll humor
seemed over. Berry was not only once
again her animated self, she was al
most feverishly garrulous.
Fearful Of angering her, or, still
worse, of arOusing her suspicious,
Dominick bore her talk with all the
fortitude he had, but he rose from the
table with every nerve tingling, rasped
and CALLED to the limit Of endurance.
He did not come into the den i'm
mediately but roamed about, into the
parlor, down the passage, and into
his own room.

she called, as she heard him pacing
steadily along the passageway.

She sat on the divan, paper spread
before her face, but her eyes were

she heard a rafting sound which she
knew to be from the canes and UNI
brellas in the hat-rack. She cast
away the paper, and, drawing herself
TO the edge Of the divan, peered down
the passage. Dominick was standing
by the hat-rack, his hat on the back
Of his head, his hand feeling among
the canes.
you've got your hat on" she called
in a high key Of surprise. You're
not going out?"
Yes, I am" he answered, drawing
out the cane he wanted. It's a fine

Outside, Dominick walked slowly.

and moving forward through streets

That part of California Street which
crested the hill was but a few blocks
beyond him, and before his mind
would acknowledge it, his feet had
borne him that way. He thought only

The Moonlight Night.

A few nights after this, there vas
4 full moon Dominick, walking home
rom the bank, saw it at the end Of
he streets vista, a large, yellowish-
pink disk floating up into the twilight.
The evening was warm, like the early
summer in other climates; and Dom
mick, walking slowly and watching
the great yellow sphere deepening in
color as it swan majestically upward,
thought of evenings like this in the
past when he had been full Of the
Joy Of life and had gone forth in the
spirit of love and adventure.
The determination to accept his fate
which had been with him on his re-
turn from Antelope had of late been
shaken by STRINGS Of rebellion. Up

1t was a great morning for Cornelia.
She was engaged. Two evenings be-
fore, Jack Duffy, who had been hover
poised above it, as a hawk above de-
lighted prey, had at last descended
and Cornelia's anxieties were at an
end
The wind was not yet out in force;
its full, steady sweep would not be
inaugurated till early in the afternoon.
1t came now in gusts which fell upon
Cornelia from the back and accelerat-
ed her forward progress, throwing out
on either side Of her a Tapping sail
of skirt Cornelia. who was neat and
precise, usually resented this rough
handling, but to-day she only laughed,
leaning back, with one hand holding
her hat.
1t was after midday when she found
herself approaching that particular
block, along the edge of which the
flower-venders place their baskets and
display their wares. The boys and
men, seeing that the brilliant lady
was in a generous mood, collected
about her, shouting out the eXcellences
Of their particular blossoms, and
pressing sample punches on her at
tentiOn.
Cornelia, amused and somewhat be
wildered. looked at the faces and
! bought recklessly.
Well, Cornelia, are you trying to
corner the curb-stone market"
She wheeled swiftly and saw her
brother, laughing and looking at the
stacked flowers in the crook Of her
arm
"Dominick." she exclaimed. you're
just the person I want TO see. l was
going to write to you. I've got lots
to tell you"
Come along then and take lunch
with me. l was on my way up to
Bertrand's when l saw you. They'll
give US IA good lunch there and you
can tell me all your secrets"

the city's gourmets.
In the restaurant they found a va
cant table in a corner, and Cornelia
had TO bottle up her good news while
DOminick pondered over the bill OF
fare. She was impatient and drummed
on the table with her fingers, while
her eyes roamed about the room.
The order given and the first
stages of lunch appearing, Cornelia
could at last claim her brothers full
attention.

vas to see you, and how l was going

Her brother looked up and his eye
was caught by her rosily-blushing
cheeks

And why can't it be?" looking very

Nothing, only meant that l hadn't

tell me somewhere where we would be
alone? I'd just like to give you q
good hug"
Cornelia leaned across the table and
spoke with low-toned, almost tremu-
lous earnestness:
You know that If 1t were /, I'd ask
your wife. You know that all the hard
feelings l may once have had against
her have gone. If it were for me to
say, I'd have received her from the
start. What I've always said is.

They don't do any one any good But

There were tears in her eyes and

at his plaTs-
"All right" he said quietly. 'TIl

once more beginning to blush and
beam early in June. The roses are
so fine then, and We can have the

rose ard, threading their way among
the now crowded tables, passed out
into the wind-swept streets. Here they

MINING CAMP SACKED
BY MEXICAN REBELS

The camp of the Verde Mining Com
pany, in the State of Sonora, Mexico,
was looted yesterday by Mexican rev.
olutionists under General Compass, ac-
cording to information received by the
Stae Department today.
This mining camp Is about thirty
miles east of Imuris. The latter place
is forty miles south of Nogales, where
Vice Consul Thomas D. Bowman, who
made the report to the department. is
stationed.
The band which sacked this camp and
destroyed the property there is sup
posed to be party from a large body
thought to be camped somewhere near
the scene of the outrage.
Vice Consul Bowman also wired the
State Department that train service
between Nogales and Guaymas, when
has been interrupted for some time,
would reopen today. Whether the ex-
pected resumption of traffic occurred,
however, is not contained ir dispatches.
Consul Clement S. Edwards, stationed
at Acapulco. on the west coast, wired
William j. Stevens by an American.
Che consul stated that the death had
nothing to do with revolutionary coll
dit.ons
Beyond this no details were sent the
department. No information was avail
able today as to the identity of Stevens
nor his home in the United States nor
did the State Department have infor-
nation regarding his assailant other
than the statement of his nationality.
Reports of disturbances along the
border were not received today. Ex-
cepting the sack of the Verde camp,
which will probably be the basis of a
claim for damages, inactivity had seized

DEPARTMENT MAKES
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL

Huntington Wilson, assistant secre-
tary of State, denied in rather vivid
language today the circumstantial story
printed in a New York paper today re-
garding the influence of American min
ing interests in debating the course of
the state Department in Nicaragua and
in fomenting the strife between va
rious factions of natives.
DIRTY, lying innuendo," was among
the milder terms used by the assistant
secretary in speaking of the statement
made regarding the methods OF dollar
diplomacy"
A circumstantial account was pub
lished of the manner In which mining
concessions had been obtained by
American interests and how these in
terests, to maintain their property, had
set patriot against patriot in Nicaragua
and had used the State Department to
enforce and uphold their claims. 1t was
stated that Secretary of State Knox
was the personal friend of several of
the men having heavy financial inter
ests In the minin accompanies.
Mr.. Wilson's denial was comprehen-
sive, although he did not attempt to
discuss any particular feature of the
story.

State Department that the Prometheus
