What's he been spending it for?"
We'll, ! noticed him the other day
wearing a big diamond In his necktie
and he bought himself a gold repeater
watch and he's always hiring horses
at the livery stable and going off for
drives in the evening. One night l
seen him buy round of drinks that
cost dollar and ten cents. That's

Maybe he met with an accident on
his drive"
Maybe he did. but don't believe it
likely. A fellow that can get along
with women can get along with horses.
and while Charlie wasn't athletic or
anything like that, / never seen the
horses yet he couldn't drive.
BY this time Miss Cox had her mail
sorted and turned to us with: IF you
two gentlemen want to see what's in
the safe, now is your chance. I'm 60
ing to open it."
Everything inside the safe was in
the neatest order. She removed the
ledgers and put them on the desk, in
spected the cash-drawer of the safe
and made tab of the amount. She
also carefully counted the reserve sup
ply of stamps, postal-cards and
stamped envelopes, and added them to
her tally.
Now for the daily cash-drawer,"
suggested the constable. Lets see II
he's taken any of the cash."
That's just like man." snapped
Miss Cox. How are you going to tell
till i go over these books and see how
much there ought to be? Well open
the cash-drawer after I'm through
looking"
There was nothing to do but wait,
and it was perhaps half an hour be
fore she completed her calculations,
being often interrupted by callers for
mail.
IF the cash-drawer hasn't been
robbed" she said, well find exactly
sixteen dollars and forty-eight cents
in it,"
In the presence Of both of us she
opened the drawer and carefully count
ed out its contents. One five-dollar
bill. two two's. four ones and three
dollars and forty-eight cents in silver
and pennies were in the drawer.

umphantly. II believe you two are
disappointed at not finding shortage.
Charlie Rouser may have his faults,
but he's honest"
What's that there at the back Of
the drawer?" asked the constable,
paying no attention to her remark.
The drawer. one of those heavy
wooden affairs with circular pocket
for silver. had been pulled out almost
to its utmost length. Where the
money compartments fitted into the
back of the drawer a little space was
left, barely visible under the overhang
of the desk. 1t was at this particular
space that the constable was pointing.
Following the line of his finger, /
caught CLINT of yellow. just as the en-
ergetic Miss Cox gave the drawer a
hard Jerk that brought 1t out to its
full length. She reached into the slit
and brought out neat package of
one-hundred-dollar bills-fifty of them.
The three OF US gazed at each other
in blank amazement.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one Is told that Heliogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as pick-meup
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served

flavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out Of favor among western ma

A NEW MINING
COMPANY ORGANIZED

Articles of incorporation of the
Smuggler-Sunbeam Mining, Mill
ing and Power company have been
filed with the secretary of state
This company has just recently
been organized by Monte Vista
parties. Their holdings are six
claims in the Sumner district
known as the Julius Hansen prop
erty.
This property is one of the most
promising in the district, has had
n large amount of development
work and some immense bodies of
ore have been uncovered. One
vein opened up is so feet between
the side walls and yields an assay
value Of $244 per ton by rough
sampling. The character of the
rock is sylvanite and it is claimed
by some that it is the extension of
the Mammoth vein.
1t is the purpose of the company
to sell large block of the stock to
provide funds for development and
after the first of July two shifts
will be put to work sinking a shaft
of $50 feet, from which drift will
be run to intersect the vein.
The first meeting of the board
of directors was held Monday night
and the officers elected were Chas.
Trueblood, president; Chas. Ed
man, secretary; Julius Hansen,
general manager.

the attractions will be some rock
drilling contests, which never fail
to interest the tenderfoot.

FASHIONS AND FADS

Tickle though fashion may be in
some respects, she still remains faith
ful 20 her love Of black and white.
There is much OF the bizarre and
strange in fashion this winter which
will save us from the commonplace.
A most attractive cravat, toque and
muff are made Of seal brown velvet
trimmed with band of white fox fur.
Much of the success of the present
fashion in gowns depends on the soft
and supple textures of the fabric
used.
The Set buckle which was so pospu-i
lar on hats has given place 10 me
buckle of fur or a cut crystal oina-
ment.
Women are now wearing red velvet
Russian blouses, edged with fur and
held IN by metal belts. over black
satin skirts
On some of the high tan boots there
is little halfinch strap which fastena
the top instead OF the last two but

For morning walks the plainesr OF
garbs is worn. Short, dapper, ratine
or zibeline cloth suits or supple cor
duroy costumes, narrow skirts and a
few buttons here and there
Marked features of iabots, whatever
their shape, are their fufnness, their
generous size and variety or ways in
which thcy are rounded, pointed or
squared
There is a return to favor OF The
short fur Jacket, either in broadtail
or seal They come only quarter
Of a yard below the waist, and are
narrow. but not tight fitting.
Day coats are much the same as
those for evening wear. All are made
in conspicuous colors and stuns, al-
though the more elegant are In COM
binations of black and white.
Novelty voiles are ornamented With
silk stripes of the jacquard variety,
together with plain satin stripes of
ratine. The most extreme novelties
have stripes made of pompadour fig
ures.
Every well-selected wardrobe should
have two or more afternoon
frocks. Suitable fabrics from which
to make these ar velvet, charmeuse,
crepe meteor, crepe de chine and bro
