The uproarious applause was as ssin-
cere as 1t was vociferous, andS the
last vestige OF the artist melted, and
left only flesh and. blood men and
women.
The. great Zamora { who would
never! sing more than three numbers
In an evening) sat down at the piano
which had been brought over from
the baggage car and for half an hour
sang the folk songs OF her native land
with tenderness that had never APP
peared in her platform work.
Paretti, the pianist played every
thing from his famdus waltz to a
parody on popular songs, and the
great basso, Campera, set the audi
encef wild with delight by singing
coon songs in place OF the operatiu
arias that were usually programmed.
And after that they all danced
until the gray of the morning dimmed
the lights and in the distance was
heard the wall OF tho snow plows
coming to their relief.
There was a great furry for wraps,
and great exchanging OF goodbys;
then the plow sidetracked to let the
Overland pass and the train pullaei
out with all the passengers onNtho
steps waving a last goodby.
On the rear platform stood this
troupe, Mascara still lovingly finger
ing the roll of bills that Trawley had
slipped to him. and, needless of pos-
sible colds, zamora, led them in a
farewell song.
Trawley turned away as the. train
swept around the curve into the CUT.
We've beaten the Central people all
hollow. Let's go over to the office
and write It up. I'm toos excited te
go to bed yet," he said to the girl
at his side. Nell Bennetk,nodded her
assent.
There was much industrious
scratching of pen on paper as Traws
ley wrote, and at. last he laid ths
sheets before her and she smiled as
she read:
"The little wart on the face OF 40
otherwise beautiful world which cGlle
itself Central City, largely because
1t Is not city and never will be, ana
because It Is eighteen miles from tho
nearest railroad, remarked through
the alleged newspaper that adds 70
the shame of the place that Amara
would not have much OF a celebra-
tion this Christmas.
mo bV-N0iltu newspaper Is as IdT
from the truth as ever. The leadlpE
feature OF the celebration at Amara
was a concert by the zamora COM
pany, which gave up an engagement
! in Denver to delight the citizens and
guests of our beautifulMity. .
For the bsnedt Of the benighted
Inhabitants OF Central CITY, it Is
explained that Zamora IS .he most
famous singer Of the world, and the
troupe OF stars which she heads plays
only In the larger cities such as New
York, Chicago. Ahitifa and San Fran
cisco. 'f6iT
''As usual, Amara did hersolf proud
and her celebration WIS attended by
half hundred guests fgDm the great
metropolitan centers."
II guess that VIII mold them"
chuckled Trawley as Nell laid down
tho sheets. as II aiIf fight?'
For reply Nell picked IL up again
and marked across the top, Double

Here's another itemtI wish | could
run" went on Trawleyr growing red.
Nell took the paper and glanced
over the item.
I'VE announce the engagement OF
Robert Trawley to Miss Helen Ben
nett, daughter OF our late respected
townsman, Milo Bennett. Esq. The
happy couple are to be married carly
in the spring"
Nell took up the blue pencil sad
marked across the face before sns
passed the paper back. Bob smiled
as he read, personals. Must"
"That'll be the best news the paper
ever ran" he cried exultantly. "It
seems too good to be true, little girl,
but, please God, you'll never be
sorry"
