CHAPTER VIII.

There are some people in this world
with whom it seems impossible to quar-
rel. notably the parents Of attractive
daughters
Perhaps, if Gracia Aragon had not
been watching him from the window
Philip De Lancey would not have been
quite so cordial with her father-at
least, that was what Hooker thought
and he was so badly peeved at the
way things had gone that he said it,
too.
Then, of course, they Quarreled, and,
one thing leading to another, Phil told
Bud he had very low way of speak
ing. Bud replied that, whatever his
deficiencies of speech might be, he
was not fool enough to be drawn in
by skirt, and Phil rebuked him again.
Then, with scornful grunt, Bud
Hooker rode on in silence and they
said no more about it.
1t was a gay life that they led at
night for the Fortuna hotel was filed
with men of their kind, since all the
staid married men had either moved
across the line with their families or
were under orders to come straight
home
In the daytime the hotel was nearly
deserted, for every man in town was
working for the company; but in the
evening, when they gathered around
the massive stove, 1t was merry COM
pany indeed.

wanderers and Adventures with such
tales of the East and West as never
have been written in books. But not a
college boy could match stories with
Phil De Lancey, and few wanderers
there we're who could tell him any
thing new about Mexico. Also, when
it came to popular songs, he knew
both the words and the tune. So he
was much in demand, and Don Juan
passed many drinks across the bar be-
cause of him.
In all such festivities the two pard-
ners stayed together; Bud, with a
broad, indulgent grin, listening to the
end, and Phil, his eyes alight with
laughing far into the night.
Outside the winter winds were still
cold and the Mexicans went wrapped
to the eyebrows; but within the merry
company was slow to quit, and Phil.

when he had entirely lacked an audi
ence, sat long in the seat of honor and
was always the last to go.
But on the evening after their spat
Bud sat off to one side, and even Pills
sprightly and ventriloquistic conversa-
tion with the-little-girl-behin
called forth only a fieeting smile.
Bud was thinking. and when en-
gagged in that arduous occupation even
the saucy little girl behind the door
could not beguile him.
But, after he had studied it all out
and come to a definite conclusion, he
din not deliver an ultimatum. The old.
good-natured smile simply came back
to his rugged face; he rolled cigar
cite; and then for the rest of the eve
ming he lay back and enjoyed the
show Only in the morning, when
they went out to the corral to get their
horses, he carried his war-bag with
him and, after throwing the saddle on
to Copper Bottom, he did the same for
their spare mount.
What are you going to pack out,
Bud?" inquired Phil, and Bud slapped
ats canvas-covered bed for an answer.

FEDERAL PRISONERS TO
 BE HELD AT SANTA FE
Government Abandons Policy of Send ing Arizona Captives to Atlanta.
 Cost Was Too High

Uncle Sam has changed the boarding place of his captives. Never more shall the offenders convicted of serious crimes in the Arizona federal court be
 taken over that long hot trail to Att lanta. Instead they will journey only
 as far as Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
 there in the state prison of the sister state they will pass the time of day
 and that of their sentences
 The order was made recently, as a
 result of a protest lodged against the common carriers who wanted a matter of several thousand dollars for toting twentyf five prisoners and guards from Phoenix to Atlanta. A private prison car was necessary and this whacked the price up considerably.
 Notice was received by United States Attorney Tom Flynn that the United States had entered into a contract with the New Mexico state penitentiary to house and board it's Arizona federal prisoners there.
 Federal prisoners sentenced to more than jail terms in Arizona now average about fifty year. with sentences from a year and a day to life-although there are very few of the latter.

1 There is perfectly wonderful moving picture running at the La mara theater today. IL is q twOreel i Kalem feature entitled the Dance of Death,' and the dancer is' none 1 ether than the beautiful Polish i dancer Verna Merse.eau. She dances
 the Hawaiian Dance of Death with all the fire and abandon of the na- i tives of the Pacific, adding to it the i feature of her own magnificent phys /, ical perfections Three times dur 1 ing the two reels of film, that com ! plte the story. No such eXemplica- | tion of the Hawaiian dances has ev- l CT been seen here even on the stage. Yesterday those who saw the Splen did portrayal could hardly leave it. so anxious were they to see it again. The Kalem people added to the pie ture also when they used their head liners Alice Joyce and Tom Moore in the cast that tells the pictured
 story
 A synopsis of the story is as fol- lows:
 Because of Richards indolent hab : it's, Mabel refuses to marry him. To show his ability to make good the boy leaves for one of the South Sea Islands as secretary to the U. S. Consul
 Richard meets Sahki, native dancing girl. shortly afterwards, he makes her his wife according to the native rites. Sahki's heart almost breaks when Richard later tells her he must return home. Although he promises to return shortly, the boy forgets Sahki when he meets Ma bel upon his return to the state Ma bel agrees to marry Richard. On the island of Maukalu, Sahki, with her new born babe in her arms, waits for i Ter lovers return.
 Langbaum, q theatrical manager, ! comes to the island and sees Sahki
 dancing before her child The man induces her to come to America and SC upon the stage. Because it will take her near Richard Sahki leaves her home. Nahaku. her sister. goes with her
 The night before thei.' wedding
 Richard and Mabel go to the theater
 Richard is thunderstruck when he
 discovers Sahki on the stage. The girl does the Dance of Death" The
 weird dance scores tremendous
 success. Sahki is compelled to re-
 spond to the demand for an encore
 Just as the music commences, her
 eyes fall upon Richard Intuition
 tells her he has proven faithless
 Sahki throws herself into the dance,
 holding the audience spellbound. At
 the climax, she raises her knife and
 plunges it into her heart. Constern-
 ation reigns when it is discovered
 that the Dance of Death" has ended
 in grim reality.
 Richard hastens to the dressing
 room He clasps Sahki in his arms
 just as she breathes her last Mana
 ku grimly places his child in the
 mans arms. Thus Mabel finds him.
 The remorse- stricken man tells her
 the dreadful story Filled with pity,
 Mabel takes the infant from Rich
 ards arms and promises to love if
 as though it were her own.

FrancO-PruSsian Conflict.

The present European crisis calls to
mind the vast cost of war, both in
lives and money, and serves as a re-
minder of the staggering immensely of
the sum the world has spent on wars
since the beginning of the eighteenth
century.
Beginning in this country, with the
Revolution, thus excluding colonial
10000 lives, the United States spent
wars prior to that time, which cost
$135, 193,703 on this conflict and lost
10000 men. The cost of the war to
the British was $71O,O00,0O0.
The war of 1912 cost this country
$1O7159,OO3 and 1000 lives; the Mex
lean war cost her $74,0OO,OOO and g.
600 lives; the civil war entailed an
expense of $3,7OO,OOO,OOO, and the loss
of life on both sides approximate
100000.
