CHAPTER XVII.
The Loss of Paradise.

TvHE question Of food ever arose
for settlement, and early the
next morning set out upon
a a short exploring expedition.
There were trout in our little noun
tain stream, and although we had no
hooks or lines, managed to take a
few of these in my hands, chasing
them under the stones. l shook the
bullet pouch at my belt and found it
light. We had barely two dozen bullets
left, and few hunters would promise
themselves over dozen head Of big
game for twice as many shots. cast

might make bow. searched the
willow thicket for arrow shafts and
prowled among little fints and point

seeking arrow points. It finally APP
peared to me that wey might rest here
for time and be fairly safe to make
q living in some way. Then, as was
obliged to admit, we would need to
hurry on to the southwark But again
fate had its way with us, setting aside
all plans. When returned to our en-
campment, instead of seeing Ellen

TO GET CONTROL
Of THE MIDLAND

dispatch from Denver declares
that the giving of the Rio Grande
railway company a double track from
Denver to Grand Junction will be
made possible by the acquisition by
one of the Gould roads of the half
interest of the Colorado & Southern
in the Midland, after the supreme
court Of New York passes upon the
application recently made by the at
torneys for the Colorado & Southern
for permission to sell that compa-
ny's share in the Midland.
Blair & Company, an eastern
banking firm that handles a part of
the Gould financing. has offered,
ii is understood. S15O,OOO for half
the property, providing the courts
authorize its segregation. There l. no
objection, it is said, on the part of
the bOndhOlders who regard the Mid
land as being of no especial value
as a security in view OF the fact
that both the owning roads have
for several years been forced to aid
1t in meeting the interest on It's
bonded Indebtedness
According to the plan outlined by
the Gould bankers, the Colorado &
Southern's share of the Midland will
be transferred soon after the pur-
chase is approved by the courts TO
another line in the Gould system in
order to avoid conflicts with the
state railroad act which prohibits
one road from acquiring a parallel
and competing line. This law would
prevent the Rio Grande from taking
part in the purchase directly.
Should the decision of the New
York court be adverse the Goulds
will make, it is said, an effort to
obtain the consent in writing of all
the holders of the bonds of the Chi.
cagO & Southern to the transfer.

Boston. March 7-Dr. Samuel Rob

the Carney hospital have removed the
entire right lung of William Roberts,
a patient at the latter institution.
DR.. Robinson said that, although
the operation was an advanced one.
the ether was administered according
TO new method and it was his be-
lief that the patient will recover. The
difficulty heretofore has been that the
patient regained consciousness before
the operation was concluded In this
instance the incision was made in the
patients back. The surgeons said
that the method was so new that it
was yet impossible to say whether a
tuberculosis lung could be taken out
in the same way.

A LOCAL MANS
CHARGES FAIL

A charge made by Land Appraiser
j. U. Harris, whose home is in
Grand Junction, that he had been
approached by Sterling attorney,
who said he was acting as agent in
the attempted bribery for a Denver
law firm, has been under investiga-
ton several weeks by the state land
board. Yesterday the following find
ing was rendered:
The board has conducted an ex-
haustive inquiry into the charges
and weighed every shred of evidence
submitted, and as a result the mem
bers of the board are unanimously
of the opinion that nothing whatever
exists which in the slightest degree
reflects discredit on the firm of ALL
en- & Webster, or either of its mem
bers.
THE board asks the press of the
state and city to give the widest pos
sible publicity to this finding to the
end that Justice may be done the
said Allen & Webster"
The alleged attempt at bribery is
still under investigation by the board
relative to the charges against the

vice and philosophy that marked her
talk were the following:
81 am happy to know that Chicago
women have the reputation of having
big feet. We must live up to it and
cultivate the growth of our feet.
Everybody ought to wear sandals
in the house; children should go bare
foot as much as possible-it makes

pair of shoes two days in succession.

big feet are an indication of an
