She got off the table, still smiling,
and sauntered to the pantry door,
watching me over her shoulder.
My heart was skipping every second
beat by that time, and Miss Julia
stood by the pantry door, her head
back and her eyes almost closed, en-
joying every minute of it. If Arabella
hadn't made a diversion just then l

She'd pulled the newspaper and the

around the room with them, one leg
in her mouth.

Mr.. Sam and his wife came in at
that moment, Mr.. Sam carrying bot
tie of wine for the shelter-house,
wrapped in paper, and two cans Of
something or other. He was too busy
trying to make the bottle look like
something else-which a good many
people have tried and failed alto
notice what Miss Summers was doing,
and she had Miss Cobb's protectors
stuffed in her muff and was standing
very dignified in front of the fire by
the time they'd shaken off the snow.
Good morning!" she said.

up his overcoat with one hand, and try

pockets with the other. Mrs. Sam
didn't look at her.
Good morning, Mrs Van Alstyne!"
Miss Summers almost threw it at her.

Mrs. SAM and turned her back on her.

fly to pieces with rage, but she stared
at Mrs Sans back, and after a min

Mike went to Mr. Pierce that day
and asked for a raise of salary. He
did not get it. Perhaps as things have
turned out, it was for the best, but it
is strange to think how different
things would have been II he'd been

course, for six months for malicious
mischief, but by that time the dam

Bank Declares
Special Dividend

At the meeting OF the directors
OF the Carson Valley bank, held at
the bank this afternoon, at which
all OF the directors were present,
the following officers and directors
were elected for the ensuing term:
George Wingheld, president; F. NJ.
Lee, vice-president; H. c. Clapp,
cashier, and ]. f. Monahan, assis-
tant cashier; Messrs. Wingheld.
Lee, 6. D. Rulison NJ D. Fairchid

Pres sident Wingfield congratulate
ed the directors on the fourshing
condition Of the bank and announc-
ed for publication that semi
annual dividend of per cent and
a special dividend OF per cent had
been declared.
The matter of joining the federal
system of banks was considered, but
as Nevada law prevents state banks
from buying stock in corporations or
buying stock in corporations or
trust associations, and as that was
a condition precedent to joining the
federal system, the Carson Valley
bank was prohibited from becoming
member, much as it might like 20
join.
