shot, his back to them. you spoke
of a promise?" the Governor turned
to his daughter. "To whom?"
A suggestion Of color swept her
face, though she answered at once
without hesitation: ITO the Black
Seigneur."
The slight form Of the Governor
stirred as to the shock of battery.

hurriedly she went on. HE saved me
from the grand tide-for l was on
Saladin's back when he bolted and
ran. 1 had not dismounted, though I
allowed you to infer so, and he had
carried me almost to the island OF
Casque when we heard and saw the
water coming in. The nearest place
was the island-not the point Of the
mainland, as I felt obliged to lead you
to think, and we started for 1t; we
might have reached the cove, had not
Saladin stumbled and thrown me. The
last 1 remembered the water came
rushing around, and when I awoke, I
was in a watch-tower, with him-the
Black Seigneur!"
The Governor looked at her; did
not speak.
IL at first did not know who he
was-not until this man came-and
the priest! And when he, the Black
Seigneur, saw had learned the truth,
he asked me to promise-not for him
self-but because of this man!-to
say nothing of having met him there,
or the others! And l did promise, and
he sent me back-and that is all"
"AlI!" Did the Governor speak the
word? He sat as If he had hardly
comprehended; a deeper flush dyed
her cheek.
"You-can not blame me-after
what he did. He saved me-saVed my
life. You are glad Of that, mon pere,
are you not? And it must have been
hard doing it, for his clothes were
torn, and his hands were bleeding-he
can't be all bad, mon pere! He knew
who was, yet trusted me-trusted!" ]"
The Governor looked at her;
touched a bell; the full-toned note vi
brated far and near.

thing in his face held her.

back; the Governor looked first at the
girl; then toward the entrance Of the
cloister.
"You want me to go?" Her voice
was low; strained; in it, too, was
hard, rebellious accent. But I can't
can't-until-"
''What?"
"You promise to set him free! This
man who brought me back! Don't you
see you must, mon pere? Must!" she
repeated.
His thin lips drew back disagree
ably; he seemed about to speak; then
reached among the papers and turned
them over absently. VERY well!" he
said at length without glancing up.
"You promise" her voice expressed
relief and a little surprise, ito set

"Have / not said so?" His eyelids
yelled a peculiar look. Eyes, he shall

Thank you, mon pere." A moment
she bent over him; the proud, sweet
lips brushed his forehead. Il will go,

His face half-covered by his hand,
the Governor gazed at them; the girl,
straight, slender, infexibly poised;
the prisoner eyeing her with dark,
unvaTying glance.

NEW SITE EXCEEDS

erning Board on November
18th, in New York, Author
ICES Purchase of Real Estate

Another step toward the erection
here of the Santa Fes new shop es-
tablishment was taken yesterday by
attorneys for the corporations. A
plat Of the land to be acquired, as it
stands, surrounded by the property
already owned BY the railroad. and
by other property, and copy of q
resolution of the board of directors of
the road, adopted unanimously in
New York City on November 18th,
we're filed for record with County
Clerk A. r. Walker
No one can doubt that the shops
are really coming when they read this
resolution, for it specifically states
that because it appeared necessary to
the board that certain lands shown
on the plat be acquired for the erec-
tion of new shops, the location of new
Yards and for other purposes, the
chief engineer of the road is authoriz-
ed to buy. receive, possess or other
wise obtain the land named.
Provision Is made in the resolution
for condemnation proceedings wher-
ever present owners shall refuse to
turn over the land by other process,
and the officers of the company are
specifically empowered to employ
them wherever ne ded.
The plat shows that the new lands
will exceed the present holdings IN
area. The land to be utilized for the
new plant includes portions Of eight
additions, and one large parcel OF
unplotted land. 1t begins at the south
line Of the present holding, which, as
is known, leads from Second street,
at about the east end of Cromwell
avenue and slopes diagonally across
to the north-and- south line of the
right Of way about two blocks further
south. The south line of the new prop
erty is the north line of Trumbull
avenue.
The acquisition of the new proper
ty will enable the Santa Fe to close
road which traverses the edge OF
their property along its south line
and continues south along the right
of-way and thus have their entire
holdings undivided by any streets or
passa geways.
About seventy holdings are shown
on the plat as needed for the develop |
ment
The resolution was unanimously
passed Dy tnp DO1Tu Oh ulItctolS at a
meeting in New York City on the
18th OF this month. 1t sets forth with
due legal phraseology, that. accord |
ing to a survey and plat made by {.
r. w. Felt, chief engineer of the sys-
tenn, it appears necessary that GER |
tain lands as shown on the plat be |
acquired for the new plant. This be- |
ing the case. the board by this reso-
lntion authorizes Mr.. Felt to posses
by grant, purchase, donation, or other
legal means, the lands so needed.
The copy is attested by p. c. Dem
ing assistant secretary of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Co,
as true and correct copy of the res
olution passed by the board.
1t was received by mail from Col
r. f. Twitchell, of Las Vegas, as
