"And yours, said Asabri. Indeed,
I am today as rich as ever was, with
the exception eyes twinkled
behind his gOggles-"O about hun
dred and fifty thousand lire"
The sullen brigand whistled.
In the village nearest to the prop
erty they picked up a notary through
whom to effect the purchase.
The little farm was sweet to the
eye, with the deep greens of the figs
and grapes and the silVeFy greens of
the olives. Furthermore, there were
roses in the dOOr-yard, and the young
and childless widow to whom the
homestead belonged stood among the
roses. She was brown and scarlet,
and her eyes were black and merry.
Yes, yes, she agreed, she would
sell! There was a mortgage on the
place. She intended to pay that off
and have a little over. True, the
place paid. But, Good Lord, she lived
all alone, and she didn't enjoy that!
They invited the pretty widow to
luncheon, and she helped them
spread the cloth under a fir tree that
had thrown shade for five hundred
years. AsabTi passed the champagne,
and they all became very merry to-
gether. Indeed, the sullen brigand
became so merry and happy that he
no longer addressed Asabri respect
fully as "exceIlency," but gratefully
and affectiOnately as my father"
This one became more and more
delighted with the term, until finally

that if 1 were to advise him to do a

He shook them by their brown,
grimy hands, mounted the impatient
Biddy, and was gone-bissfully
smiling.
Upon reaching Rome he rode to
his palace and assured Luigi the valet
that all was well. Then he bathed,
changed, breafasted, mapped, and
drove to the Hospital of Our Lady in
Emergencies. He saw the superior

tanning the brigands' savings.

Then he drove to his great banking

portable parcels of fifty thousand lire
each.
The next day at ten he left Rome
in black and beauteOus mOtOrCar,
and drove slowly along the Appian
Way. He had left his mechanic be-
hind. Packed away, he had luncheon
and champagne enough for four; and
he had not forgotten to bring along
the three parcels of money.
The three brigands stepped into
the Appian Way from behind mass
of fallen masonry. They had found
the means to shave Clearly, and per-

with what were evidently their very

ambition was the girl he loved, even
wore a necktie.

TELEPHONE TROUBLE
Mitchell's Case Postponed by
the State Railroad Com
Emission.

Mitchell, April 80. "A communion
ton received today by Mayor Hitchcock
states that the board of railroad com
missioners has deferred all action ON
the question of telephone rates in the
city of Mitchell fer a period of 1870
days from May II, which is the date
the franchise of the Dakota Telephone
company expires. The company asked
the commission to indorse a sew rate,
which is about so csnts higher than
the present one, and proposed to con
tinue the service here without a fran
chise. The commission refused con
sent to this until it has thoroughly
investigated both sides of the matter.
For the purpose of this investigation
the company WAS ordered to file with
the board al inventory of the actual
value of the plant here as well as the
amount of business done ia 1910, 1911!
and 1912. This the company has done.
The commission further states in its
ruling that it will not be preiudiced
in its ruling in any way by the liri,
cation now pending in the telephone
controversy before the federal court ut
Sioux Falls.
In the question of the temporary
injunction granted to the telephone
company by the federal court at Sioux
Falls, the city is granted the right
to interfere and remove lines which
are for the purpose of local business
only. The court will not allow the
city, however, to interfere with lines
used for interstate conversation. The
question has arisen whether or not
the city can interfere with a phone in
a private residence and which has long
distance connection as a local phone.
The CITY has asked that the hearing of
the case be delayed until the rights of
the litigants be established.

WHITE ROBIN


Sioux City Journal: A white robin
pure in color, except for touches of
led on the breast feathers, has appar
emily chosen for a home a tree on the
lawn of ]. III. Bolton. S07 Eighth
str let, deputy clerk of the federal
court. For the lsst few days Mr.. Boil
ton has seen the bird hopping busily
about on mis- lawn every morning.
This convinces him he will soon be
able to find the robins nest in one
of his trees.
So far as Mr.. Bolton knows, this
white rubin is the only one that has
ever been seen in Sioux City. He is
beginning to lay claim to it as his
own by right of discovery. He is
even inviting visitors to his home at
the corner of Eighth and Jones streets
to show them the curiosity.
That the bird is a robin perhaps an
albino robin, but a robin nevertheless
I'll ere is no question in Mr.. Bolton
mind. II associates with robins. And
although he is not sure, Mr.. Bolton
expects that when he locates the nest
be will find that his white robin is a
female preparing to iaise her 1918

ordinary coloring he believes to be her
mate.

DEMON CARGO
Ship Destroyed at Sea Under
Unusually Peculiar Cir
cumstances

London. The story of the ''demon
cargo" of the steamship Hardy was
written into the records of the kings
bench, through the testimony of her
captain. On a voyage from Treport
with a large cargo Of mineral water,
consigned to a London firm, water
reached a quantity Of metallic sodium,
which was also a part Of the cargo,
setting 1t a6re.
The captain, not being aware OF the
nature of the sodium, played the hose
on it, with the result that two tons
of it were set ahre, and there was a
series of explosions.
rs Nonplussed, the captain ordered all
of the cases of sodium heayed into
the sea. When this was done the force
of explosion of the sodium in contact
with the water caused several Of the
cases to jump back again aboard the
ship and the vessel itself caught fire.
There was another explosion in the
cargo, which caused the vessel to
break amidships and sink. The mate
was drowned, but the captain and crew
were ia ed.
The story came out In an action for
damages against the steamship com.
pany for the loss of the mineral water.
The court awarded the plaintiff o., OOC
damages. with costs. and remarked tc
the captain that he seemed to have had
the "devil among the tailors when the
water got in"

BOOST FOR LETTER
 CARRIER SERVICE

And the agitation for letter carrier service is in full blast. Yuma must have it.
 City Attorney Harris informed The Examiner this afternoon that it is the duty of City Engineer to furnish an, citizen with the correct number for his home, and that there is absolutely nothing to keep any citizen from plac- ing such number on his house.
 The. city attorney also stated that an ordinance, covering this matter, is on the books, but not enforced.
 Now the thing to do is to assist the ladies of the Yuma Woman's Club to raise funds by buying a ticket to their dance on February 12, after which action will be taken to meet the requirements for a letter carrier service for Yuma.
