Pittsburgh Too Dull.


After Harry and Evelyn were mar
ricd they went to Pittsburgh to live
With his mother in Il great. rich,
iplcndid. dull-as-ditch-w water coun.
ny place where Evelyn was bored
to death. She who had been the
'.icnd Of the most brilliant men in
New York was condemned for soci-
ETY. To the company of dowagCr
whose main interest In life was for.
aign missions, and husband whose
vciSation has never been dcscrib-
u as thrilling. She whose days had
ended in midnight supper parties
where 'StuntS" that made even the
tcndcrloin sit up and take notice
wrc pulled of, lived the uncvcntfu:
country life where people yawu
themselves to bed at nine o'clock.
Above all. she was in the process
"f being reformed, which is always
an almighty unpleasant experience
for the victim of it. Harry watched
her. His mother watched her. with
the kindcst and best intentions, OF
course. but it must have been Il
grucllinS ordeal for the little butter
fly from Broadway who was atcus-
tened only to adulation from her
world. Particularly as there is no
cTidCncc that at any part of her
career Mrs. Evelyn Ncsbt Thaw has
ever qualified roi the fearful and re-
pentcnt role of a Magdalcnc.
How she must have been bored!
Tho only way She could keep herself
alive was by tormcnting Harry, by
making him jealous Of Stanford
White. And she appears TO have
kept him worked up to Il frenzy on
the subject all the time. 1t was the
amusement of a woman who either
knew men very little. or else was
reckless Of consequences.
At the time o. tic trial, after Mr..
jerome had exhausted every effort
to rcfutc the story she had told on
the witness stand of Whites treat
ment of her. and when lie finally
gave up and sat down defeated. he
tnrnrd TO a woman sitting near and
said:
"Why cant | break down her
story? It's ii lie. made out of whole
cloth. and know it and sh@ knows
know, yet haven't made Il breach
in her tcs'' nony. How can she
keep 1t up"
Too Well Rehearsed.
oh" said the woman. ever
since the day he was married Thaw
has been catcchising her along the
very lines you have. and she's had
10 be ready with Il plausible answer
and, believe me, jealous husband
can think of more things TO psIi il
woman in a minute than the most
a9tutc lawyer could in month.
Shes rchcarscd every word Of her
testimony million times. and thai
has made her letter perfect"
In stirring up Thaw's jealousy
against White do not believe that
Mrs. Thaw ever had the slightest
intention of injuring White. She
testified on the stand to her regard
for him, and so far as she cares ro,
any one, holds him in gratitude and
esteem, but in divcrting herself she
simply went too far. She started II
fire she could not control.

The Beauty Spots Along
Alpine County Highway

I is literally patronized. The hotel and
store is owned by Mrs. NJ. Merrill,
and is assisted in its management by
/; her son. Grant Merrill. The latter
has been one of the hardest workers
for the, Alpine Highway and work
thus far done by the state is the re-
suit of his persistent and untiring eff
forts. Woodfords has been a sta
ton since the early emigration days
when those sturdy pioneers travelled
doned many years ago.
, The people of Markleeville are the
most hospitable; and travellers are
made to feel that they are welcome
as the flowers in May. The town
supports two hotels, the Alpine
House, conducted by John Ellis, and
the koenig Exchange, owned by Geo.
koenig. Both places offer the best
of accommodations and the propri-
etors do all in their power to make
it agreeable and comfortable for their
guests. A we'll stocked store is con-
Quoted by J. E. Mayo and this sum-
mer has transacted a big business.
Sheepmen come in from the ranges
who %utilizes the meadows for stock
grazing. Down an 8 per e grade
for several miles and Markleeville,
the county seat of Alpine county, IS
reached. This town is ideally located
on a bench above the Carson river
and although today is a quiet, noun
tain town, history tells us, as do the
old settlers, hat years ago when
mining was in full blast at Silver
Mountain and other districts, it was
one of the liveliest towns of the
state. Today, it is believed by many
that within a few years it will again
blossom forth, with at least a part OF
its old time glory. This belief IS
based upon the development work
now being done on the Curtz Con-
solidated mining property as we'll as
other old time mines that were aban-
the same trail first made by the OK
teams in the days of 40.
Leaving Woodfords the traveller
winds over a slight grade and next
comes to the old Diamond saw1ni1l,
operated years ago by |. Cohn. The
old mill, fast falling to decay is but
a reminder of the busy life that once
held forth in this section. The work
of the woodman's ak is seen on all
sides, and nothing remains of a n c
heavy wooded district but the decay
ing stumps Of giant trees. The prop
erty is now owned by Ernest Scossa,
This summe the old Kit Carson trail
has been turned into a scenic drive
for tourists, through the completion
Of the Alpine highway, and scores Of
automobile parties have travelled over
and buy large orders Of supplies,
which, added to the business done
with the residents of Ma%rkleeville,
goes to make up a very profitable
business. Mr.. Mayo is also the post
master and one of the progressive
business men of the community.
If you have never made a visit to
Markleeville, now is the time to do
so. The roads are in excellent con-
dition and you will never regret your
visit to our little town.
