The curious gallant edged her way

Marjorie leaned nearer. and spoke
In a low tone with an amiable smile:

The robber stared across his mask,
and wondered, but laughed. and
grunted: Much obliged" Then he

"Ah. turn round!" the man roared,
and she obeyed In silence.
Then he explored Mrs. Whitcomb,
but with such small reward that he
said: Say. you'd oughter have a
pocketbook somewhere. Where's It

Mrs. Whitcomb blushed furiousIy:

Mrs. Whitcomb turned away. and
after some management OF her skirts,
slapped her handbag into the eager

''If l was. I'd be In Wall street" he
laughed. Now you can turn round"
And when she turned. he saw bit

the locket. and then proceeded to
sound Ashton for hidden wealth.
And now Mrs. Temple began to sob.
as she parted with an old-fashioned
brooch and two old-fashioned rings
that had been her little vanities for
the quarter OF century and more.
The old clergyman could have wept
with her at the vandalism. He turned
on the wretch with q heartsick ap-
peal:

ever have a mother?"
The robber started. his fierce eyes
softened. his voice choked. and he
gulped hard as he drew the back OF

BRICKS
At THE LAKE

George Brown is figuring ON
burning big kiln of bricks at
Lake Tahoe. a hotel company
has secured land at place known
as Rocky Point near the McFall
holdings. The new hotel is to be
of brick and of the most modern
nature In order to supply the
brick a kiln will be erected near
the place where a good quality
of clay has been found. A hand
plant will be sent up and it is eX-
pected to burn and deliver the
material this fall. This is but
one of the contemplated improve
ments at the lake. The fact that
good clay and plenty of wood
abounds at the lake will make it
possible to land brick cheaper
than it could be burned here and
sent up over the grade. 1t looks
like a good proposition.

WHAT WILL Be THE

Some Combinations That Face the

is the main cause of this unset

figure on running a candidate
against him, one who Will shake
up the noise and insist that they
can make things warm. Roberts
is worried over the outlook. He
insists that they run as "PrOgres-
Sives' and not associated with
the Republican party, which he
claims is his by election we'd
ding This is a Republican story.
Then a Democratic trouble
hobs up. The Republicans have
up to this time failed to select
