Establishment In the City Of London,
England, Is in Enjoyment Of
Unique Privilege.

A time-honored London (Eng.) city
tavern, the Castle, at the corner Of
Cowcross street, facing Harrington
street, enjoys the unique distinction
Of being also a fully licensed pledge
shop. Over the door in the bar, which
gives access to the landlords private

the official document behind 1t, the
historic three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Any one may here nego-
tiate a loan upon his personal belong
ings without being under the neces-
sity Of first calling for refrshment
Formerly the house had a special
pledge counter resembling the modern
Bottle and Jug department. but this

This strange combination Of busi-
ness dates from the reign Of George
w, who. after attending q cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole. applied to the
landlord Of the Castle for q temporary
accommodation on the security Of his
watch and chain. BY royal warrant .

ness in knowing what the hour is,
whether 1t passes quickly or whether
it drags.
Further investigation revealed
that his letter of credit was undis-
turbed and that he was the proud pos
SCISSOR of six damaged cigars and a
box Of cigarettes. Instantly the
thought of being days without tobacco
smote him almost poignantly, He was
an inveterate smoker, and the fact
that the supply was SO pitiably small
gave unusual zest to his craving. He
now longed for the tang of the weed
upon his lips, but he held out man
fully. He would not touch a cigar or
cigarette till nightfall, and then he
made up his mind to smoke half OF
either. The touch, selfish n calcu-
lating, Of the miser, stole over him.
If Ryanne was without the soother.
so much the worse for him. The six
cigars he would not share with the
archangel Michael, supposing that
gentleman came down for a smoke.

George, to his infinite delight, saw a
cluster Of date-palms ahead, a mile
or so; and he knew that this was to
be the haven for the ship Of the des-
ert. The caravan came to it under
the dim light Of the few stars that
had not yet attained their r~efulgence.

had doubtless counted them out, one
by one. They made camp near the
well, which still contained water.
Prayers. A wailing chanted forth
toward Mecca. God is great. There
is no God but God"
George had witnessed prayers Sc
often hat he no longer gave attention
to the muezzin calling at eventids
from the minaret. But out here, in
the blank wilderness, 1t caught him

Was he as loyal to his God as these
were to theirs?

emf to that. And when Ryanne con
be conveyed to the nearest telegraph
post. That they might at once report
the abduction to the English authori-
ties did not worry Mahomed. Not the
fleetest racing-ca ell could find him,
and behind the walls of the palace
of Bagdad, only Allah could touch
him. He had figured it all out closely,
and he was an admirable strategist
in his way. Revenge upon Ryanne for
the dishonor and humiliation, and the
return of the rug; there was nothing
more beyond that.
Before George had the opportunity
of speaking to Fortune, he was raised
from the sand and bodily lifted upon
his camel; and by way of passing
pleasantly, his hat was damned down
over his eyes. He wore as he pulled
up the br1m. Swearing was another
accomplishment added to the list Of
transformations. He had q deal to
learn yet, but in his present mood he
was likely to proceed famously. He
readjusted the hat in time to see Ry-
anne unceremoniously dumped into
one of the yawning pack-baskets, his
arms and legs hanging out, his head
lolling against his shoulder, exactly
like a marionette, cast aside for the
time being. A man Of ordinary STAN
ina would have died under such treat
ment. But Ryanne possessed an ex-
traordinary constitution, against which
years of periodical dissipation had as
yet made no permanent inroads- More
over, he never forgot to keep his chin
up and his waist-line down. They put
him into the pack-basket because
there was no alternative, being as he
was incapable Of sitting upon a cam
els back.
Next, George saw Fortune, unre-
sisting, placed upon the camel, under
canopy. At least, she would know a
little comfort against the days long
ride. His heart ached to see her. He
called out bravely to her to be Of
good cheer. She turned and smiled:
and he saw only the smile. not the
swift, decisive battle against the on
set Of tears: she smiled, and he was
too far away to see the swimming
eyes.
A bawling of voices, a swapping Of
the kurbash upon the TANKS of the
camels, and the a was once
more under way. George looked at
his watch, which fortunately had been
overlooked by the thieving natives,
and found 1t still ticking away brisk
ly. 1t was after nine. 1t was a COM
fort to learn that the watch had not
been injured. Most men are method
ical in the matter Of time, no matter
how desultory they may be in other
things. There is a peculiar restful.

What You pon,t Know

Here are some things you probably
don't know, yet they are simple. every
day things with which we have been
familiar from babyhood. Take a PEN
ell and write down from memory tho
figures on your watch dial. Simple?
Yet you are pretty certain to mako
at least two mistakes. You've seen
pennies and two-cent stamps all your
life. White down from memory the
words and figures OF a one-cent piece
and a two-cent stamp. Can you do TT
Ten to one you can't. Perhaps you
can repeat, without mistake, a long
poem or song that you have read only
q few times. Nearly anyone can do
that. but you cannot repeat correctly
from memory the few words or fg-
ures on stamps, coin and watch that
you have seen every day all you life.
Why not?

George, his brain in tumult, a fierce
tigerish courage giving fictitious
strength to his body, staggered toward
her. 1t was a mad dream, a mirage
OF his own d%isordered thoughts. For
tune there? 1t was not believable.
What place had she in this tangled
web? He ran his fingers into his hair,
gripped, and pulled. If it was a dream
the pain did not waken him; Fortune
sat there still. Through what ter
rors might she not have passed tho
preceding night? Alone in the desert,
without any Of those conveniences
which are to women as necessary as
the air they breathe! He tried to run,
but his feet sank too deeply in the
pale sand; he could only plod. He
must touch her or hear her voice;
otherwise he stood upon the brink Of
madness. There was no doubt In his

that which was under his immediate

SION OF FAIR ASSOCIAT-
ION LAST NIGHT


Prescott's first fair OF the North
ern Arizona Fair Association will
be featured among other star attrac-
tons by 4 baby show and typical
wild western performance OF the
pioneer day period. The first named
feature will be staged at the fair
grounds while the wild western
performance, termed the Days OF
49, will be offered at the Prescott
baseball grounds during one of the
fair nights. Plans were formulated
at a busy session of the Northern
Arizona Fair Association held in
the Chamber of Commerce head
quarters Wednesday night.
That Baby Show.
Chairman c. c. Baker OF the
industrial committee will have
charge of the baby show. While
it is conceded that such a feature
should not necessarily be allotted
as portion OF the industrial COM
mittee's work at the same time II
is recognized that Mr.. Baker is the
right man in the right place for just
this work. Mr. Baker suggested
the baby show and the plan met

We cannot by any logical reason

This Company must present other

We are not passing upon the
propriety of dividing the stock into

the present plan of doing business

L AbAAA L AAeAe -DN----J
PHOENIX, Oct. 2.-An order
was entered late yesterday afternoon
by the Corporation Commission de-
nying the application OF the Rapid
Transit Company of Phoenix for
permit to sell the capital stock of
that corporation to the public. The
hearing came up under the state
statute known as the blue sky
law. All of the members of the
commission signed the order which
has created great excitement in po-
litical circles on account of the his
tory OF the company making the
application.
When the strike was declared by
employees of the Phoenix street car
system last July, the attendant fea-
lures of the strike including small
sized riot and the egging OF several
cars which it was attempted to
operate, the local labor unions or
gained a common fund and put in
commission a line OF automobiles TO
traverse the routes covered by the
street car lines The competition
was fierce and frequently during the
month following the calling of the
strike, fights were frequent between
the car men and the operators of
the auto line.
1t was apparent that if progress
was TO be made in fighting the street
car company a regular equipment
of automobiles would have to he
put in service. For such an OBJ
ject and to handle the financing of
such a line the Rapid Transit Com
pany of Phoenix was organized and
subscription OF large part OF the
preferred stock of the company was
made by various union organizations
over the state 1t was made plain
to all that the new company was
a union labor company.
The attention of the officers Of
the company was called to the blue
sky" law and application was made
to the commission for a permit un-
der the act. The commissions an
swer was the opinion and order
entered yesterday. Already there are
rumors about the places where
prominent labor men make their
headquarters that the recall may be
invoked against one or more of the
commissioners on account of the &C
ton taken. The order in full fol-
lows.

"rye" with such frequency doesn't
bother Manager Evers at all. As long
as his hitting is confined to the paint
ed bottle on tin sign there will be
no anti-booze clauses in his contract.
In one respect, the four-timers OF
Saier'S differ from Schulte's. Most of
them travel to the spot selected by
Frank, but they are harder drives. On
a longer field a fair share of Schulte's
homers could be turned into outs by
fleet gardener. Saier's drives would
be for the limit on any field.
Few of Saer's smashes begin to
drop before they kiss the sign. Vic
has tremendous driving power in his
broad shoulders and meets the ball
squarely. The result is resounding
smack and a gradual rise to the ball
until it brings up against the fence.
If the sign was removed he could
make a couple of rounds on the ma
jority of his wallops.
Vic also has the happy faculty of
connecting for the route at the psy-
Geological moment. Yesterday there
was a man on first, two out and the
Cubs two runs behind. A regular
baseball drama could have been writ
ten around the situation. 1t was
play often read about and seldom
seen. --
Once this season Safer strobe to
the plate with the bases loaded and
connected for a shot that gave the
Cubs four runs at once.
There is more to Safer than brute
strength. His resounding whacks are
sweet to the eye and ear. of the fans,
and, because the average fan looks
only at the end, and does not study
the means to the end, it is usually in
connection with the clout that Saier's
name is mentioned.
But he is just as great in the field
ing line, though his work may not be
as sensational as that of some other
