The Week5 illustrated Story
Delayed at Sandstone
By JOHN c. LYONS

~ VERTON drove into Sandstone
behind a pair of reeking bron-
~ chos just in time to see the
daily eastward train pulling
away from the station. He shouted
like a wild maj and waved his hat in
vain. The train pulled steadily away
from the station. and by the time he
had reached the wooden shack. digni-
fed by that name. the rapidly disap-
man told him of a twenty-four hours
delay in this stupid town.
Overton hurled his suit cases on to
the platform one after another and
swore. Then he turned to the grinning
cowpuncher who had driven him over
from the ranch. thrust n handful OF
cigars toward him and wished him
luck on his thirty mile drive back.
Hadn't you better go back to the
ranch with me?' the puncher sug-
gested.
No." said Overton and added sar-
d~onically: Think I'll do the town to-
night. There's n hotel here. isn't
there?'
The others grin broadened.
There's a place that goes by that
name" said he. Hop in. I'll drive
you back there"
Overton ricked up N of the suit
cases and climbed into the wagon.

The proprietor adjusted his specta-

frankly scanned his guest.

Who Was Dead.

was having fun with me o whether
he was simply the stupidest man |

sion came along Monday afternoon. i
stopped TO wait till ii got by. and
noticed that there were Il band and n

LOGIC O JEWELS.
Choice of Milady's Earrings Should
Receive Most Careful Attention.

No jewels are more trying TO the face
unless properly selected than earrings.
Long. hanging ear pendants are suited
only TO tho large. strong type of face.
and even then they should not be ex-
IRENE ia length. Although long. mar
roy earrings are at present In fashion.
there are those who will find them en-
tirely u~nbecoming. For such women
there is a compromise in the shape Of
little fringed ear pendants which are
decidedly modish. These are hardly
more than an inch in length. but they
follow the same outline rs the holder
jewels. and for a small head they are
just the right thing.
The effect of the colors of the various
gems on a woman $ natural coloring is
another theme of Importance. \ wo-
man should wear only the gems whose
tone blends with the color of her hair
and eyes and tint OF her complexion.
Turquoise and red coal are not al
ways becoming. A person with Il sal
low complexion should neve attempt
to wear either.
Amber Is i'm high favor this season
and is particularly suited to the bru-
nette. while jet is for the blond, but is
worn successfully by a dark haired
woman if her coloring is brilliant.
For the very young pink coral. aqua
marine and pearls are appropriate, so
that there is Il choice of a pink or blue
gem to correspond with the color of u
fayorite frock. but nothing so we'll sets
off the curves of a youthful neck as
pearls.
Euameled jewels are favorites for
wear with deep toned silks or with
tailored suits. and dark blue enamel
set in silver goes we'll with blue serge.

GIGANTIC MoA NOW EXTINCT.
Great Bird of New Zealand Twelve
Feet HIGH.

rect Hich.
This gigantic extinct bird of New

birds. says the Forest and Stream.
The bones of It's feet almost rivaled
those OF the ground sloth. or the Gle
plant. i'm size. In the museum in Can
terbury college. Christchurch. New
Zealand. there are two specimens of
the moa which measure twelve feet
three inches I'm height. such remains
having been found in the peat boys Of
New Zealand. In the seaside sand
ligainents holding the bones of skele-
tons together; also pieces of dried skin,
feathers. etc.
The moa is more nearly allied In
structure to the emus, cassowaries and
kiwis (apteryx, than to the ostrich.
1t closely resembles the kiwis. except
for its short beak and for having after
shafts upon Its feathers.
For q long time 1t was hoped that In
some of the backward mountainous
regions of New Zealand some living
specimen of the moa might be found.
But the expedition of an Austrian nat
%uralist. Herr I,eischek, In 1878 for
this object was fruitless. so that the
question of the moa's extinction was
considered finally settled. and IL Is be
lieved to have occurred n little over
800 years ago. The fact that 1t was
fiightless-not having a trace of rudi-
mentary wings-no doubt contributed
largely to render it an easy prey TO its
natural enemies. including man. and
thus to lead to its early extinction.

The overture came to an end. the
curtain went up. and the all star pro-
duction of "As You Like 1t" began.
1t was a disappointing affair-nelther
good enough TO be interesting nor bad
enough to be ridiculous. 1t was simply
dull. colorless. Oyerton, leaning back
in his seat, smothered several yawns
and then dozed Internationally. AS well
doze here as in the hotel office, he told
himself gloomily.
Suddenly he sat up. wide awake.
Rosalind was on the stage, and m
thing in Rosalind's voice was very,
very familiar. He leaned forward,
staring frankly. He watched Rosa
lind's every move, he listened to every
information Of her voice. He was aware
Of a Tightening at his throat and a
tingling sensation in his fingers.
OF course 1t was only some one abb
surdly like her, he told himself, and
yet, when the first act was finished.
he sought the drowsy individual who
served as usher and drew a card from
his case.
Take this to Miss-er'-he consult.
ed his program-"Miss Lee" he said.
The usher demurred. Orders Il not
to let any n behind the scenes" he
declared.
Overton produced a dollar bill. BET

usher's hand.
The man departed. but a moment lat.
er he returned and beckoned Oyerton
to follow him They went to the rear
of the building, entered a low doorway
and passed down a narrow hall with
little doors opening on to it from either
side. Before one of these they stopped.
and the usher knocked. The door was
opened, and Rosaiind stood before
them.
Phil! PhilF she cried, and the word
was almost a sob.
Dazed, embarrassed, he entered the
dressing o and sat down ON a
trunk.
I'm heavens name he began.
"~Don't-please don't ask me about it."
she pleaded.
Overton rose. his face very grave.

marry me and you refused. Now l de-
mand it. and / shan't take a refusal"
"You-you don't want me now" she
said.
Il do want you" he said stoutly.

my art" She waved her hand scorn-
fully about the little room, Uttered
with dingy costumes and makeup
boxes. This Is my art. Oh, how l
have come to hate it," she ended bit
terly.

She hid her face in her arms. ssPlease
please go away" she begged. "If you
stay l shan't have the strength to re-
fuse you"
Il don't intend TO lose you again."
said Oyerton, settling himself stub
bornly on the trunk.
That night at IL O'Clock the one cler-
gyman in Sandstone was routed from
his sleep to read the marriage service.
and the fee he received Is still his req
ord breaker.
AS for the leading lady OF ..the all

has never let her know that the price

TELLING A PERSONS AGE.
Ingenious Way to Find Out How Old
Your Friends Are.

An ingenious method for discovering
a persons z is as follows:
Ask him to write down in figures the
date and month of his birth. Thus II
he was born on the 9th OF January he
would set down 81.
Tell him TO multiply the number h Il
formed by .. then to add 8. hen TO
multiply by so. then TO add his age last
birthday and finally to add 1863.
You must not see any of these fig
ures. but when he hands to you the to-
tai you have only TO subtract from it
6l5 and his age is revealed and its
date.

GOES TO FEDERAL COURT
This Action of the New Hampshire Executive Sends Famous Case to u s. Courts on Writ of Habeas Corpus Asked for by Thaw

Concord, N. H., Nov. S.--Harry k. Thaw must return to New York state from whence he escaped in a sensa- tional leave taking from Matteawan asylum some months ago, escaping to Canada, and being thrust back over the line into Vermont by the Canadian immigration authorities. Thaw made luis way into New Hamp- shire where his case has been pend- ing for weeks.
 Governor Felker today honored the requisition of the state of New York for the extradition of Thaw. The case is now transferred automatically 10 the federal courts, where writ of habeas corpus on behalf of Thaw Is pending.
 Thaw's attorneys announced that they would at once fihe an amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus, application for which was made soon after Thaw was deported from Can ada and arrested.
 Thaw was not preesnt when Cover nor Felker announced his decision. He will remain here in custody of United States marshals until hear ing can be had op the amended pe- titiols ys tfses srs-zts sef s-sst t ts xtg !.

To Provision Fleet.

Washington, Nov, S.-The navy de partment today ordered the supply ship Culgoa, now at Norfolk, to steam to New York to take aboard meats and other provisions for the fleet a: Vera Cruz and Tampico. It was ex- plained that this action was in line with the navy department policy tt make the American squadrons, as far as possible, independent of supplies from shore, and to sustain this ex- planation it was pointed out that the fleet now in Mediterranean waters was accompanied by the supply ship Celtic for the same purpose.
 It appears that the second division of the fleet had allowed dts store of provisi no sortun very low, expecting to leave Mexican waters earher in the week to go home upon the ar rival of the third division. The order from Secretary Daniels detaining the second division indefinitely in Mexi- can waters consequently has made it necessary to rush fresh food sup plies to the ships.

They add that he is still determined that the new congress must meet and he expects it to annul the recent cleo tions, leaving him in the provisional presidency until new elections are held at his call
 That the new Mexican congre ss must not meet Is a point insisted up- on by the United States, since it Is believed that one of the first acts of that body would be to legalize eer- tain concessions that are not consid- cred desirable.

Henry Lane Wilson's Views.


 Cleveland, O., Nov. S.--Henry Lane Wilson, whose resignation as ambas sador to Mexico was accepted by President nlison, criticised the ad ministratlon's Mexican policy in ar address before the Union Club hero tonight.
 q believe that had Huertaa been accorded diplomatic courtesies, peace would have been brought nearen said the former ambassador. Nc one will say that Huerta is an ideal head for any government, yet under the conditions that obtain in Mexico insist that with him as the inter. nationally recognized head of the government, the purposes of peace and order and the protection of the property and lives of Americans would have been conserved far bet ter than they have been.
 Mexico is a Latin country with Latin traditions and 1t should be per mitted to govern itself according to US own notions.
 Mir. Wilson charged that the ad- ministration had deviated from it's early announced policy that diplo- matic relations would not be extend ed toward any country in which the nominal ruler had obtained pre-emi- hence through violence.
 He quoted the administration as having announced that the testimony of American investors in Mexico would not be needed in solving 'ha Mexican problems. He asked
 Whose testimony should be re- garded if not that of those who have interests in Mexico?'
 Mir Wilson concluded with the in- quiry
 By what course of reasoning can there be any insistance from Wash ington that an Anglo-SaXon system of government can be established in Mexico, where 90 per cent of the population can not read or write American intervention means war"

WARLlkE INDIANS
Will be Held in Check by Posses of
 Deputy Sherlffs.

Durango, Col, Nov. s.-Posses to- night were waiting at Pennington, N. M, and Azetc, Colorado. for orders from Supt. w. T. Shelton of the Nav ajo Indian reservation at Ship Rock, N. M., to proceed to his assistance in quelling what threatens to be an In. dian uprising there, as the result of attempts to arrest eleven Indians. The situation on the reservation to- night was one of suspense.
 While the band of renegades is small. it is feared by Superintendent Shelton that the unrest will spread through the Navajo tribe and involve several hundred Indians.
 United States Marshal Hudspeth, with his deputies, should arrive at Ship Rock from Sante Fe some time tonight.
