After that,he came often to the quiet
rendezvous. He was a member OF q
local orchestra, he told her; his life
was devoted to one devouring theme
music. Their preferences were iden-
tical, they grew to be friends. One
day Victor Dalzell came to Natalie in
a state of great trepidation.
"Oh, Miss Prescott. he said anxious

They have placed me on a program

She regarded him with tender
light in her eyes.
fYou will be very careful of the in
strument?" she said.

the delighted enthusiast. "Oh, how
can | ever repay you? And with your
presence at the concert, l will bring
the very soul out of the violin!'
Natalie sat entranced when Victor.
at the concert, began his solo number.
All about her tense, strained faces told
of the general effect of the beautiful
music. The gifted player was given
an ovation, and the pleased face CT
the orchestra leader told that the for
tune of the young violinist was as
sured.
Natalie had gone to the waiting
room when the program was finished
Victor was to join her there and ac-
company her home Suddenly
scream startled her The next instant.
followed by excited members OF the
orchestra, the young musician reeled
into the room with bloodless face and
staring eyes.
"The Carero" he shrieked. 1T is
stolen!" and fell senseless at her feet.
A doctor was summoned. He looked
grave as he felt the pulse and opened
the eyelid of the insensible young
musician.
Get him to a hospital at once!"
he ordered. ''If the strain he is under
is not soon relieved he vail lose his
mind"
Natalie heard the others tell of how
Victor had left the violin unguarded

the orchestra appeared hurriedly.

led her to room where Victor sat,
muttering to himself incoherently:

Natalie, and, the nurse asserting. she
removed the violin from it's case. Ma
talie began playing the masterpiece OF
the concert as best she could.
Victor started at the first melodious
note. His eyes lost their moody ex-
preston. A rare ecstacy came into
his face-reason was recalled by the
marvellous magic
The Carero brought distinction ana
wealth to Victor, and love, marriage
and happiness to both these talented
children of art.

At a special session of the su-
pervisors held last week an order
was passed cutting off the salary
CIV. Harp, our deputy sheriff. So
far as We have been able to learn
no complaint was filed against
Mr.. Harp by any of our citizens,
and Sheriff Newman informs us
that he considers Harp his most
efficient deputy, and is highly in
dignant at the uncalled-for and
unjustifiable action of the board.
Courtesy to the taxpayers of
Winslow, who pay nearly half
the taxes in the county, should
at least prompted the noard to
give the business interests of the
city hearing before taking such
summary action. But if the Job
had to be put over qnick, they
should at least manufactured a
plausible excuse for their act.

THEIR DUTIES TO SOCIETY"
swer Why They Assume Res
possibilities of Position.

Everyone knows what society" is,
although to anyone who did not it
would be difficult to explain. Men
laugh at it, but it is not to be laughed
at. With a power as strong as the
church, or stronger, it lies about us,
impalpable, whimsical, almost irresist-
ible. 1t may take all a woman has
to give, and give little back; or it may
give everything it has to give, and de-
mand little. Whether it is woman's
highest duty, or her toy, has appar-
emily not been decided Whether those
who give themselves to it most entire
ly do SO in an abandonment Of self-in-
diligence or in spirit of high sacri-
fee, one cannot say. The inveterate
habit, common to all people, of dress
ing up whatever they are doing in
cloak of morality, has in this case so
confused all the phraseology of social
rites that it is impossible to tell what
is pleasure and what is crucifixion.
Women dress, not because they like to
look pretty, but because they ''owe it,
to their husbands, or their children, or
to society They make calls and give
dinners, not because they like it, but
because they feel themselves obliged
to, and they are glad when it is over
They go to parties, not because they
expect to have a good time-they pro
fess to be bored by them-but because
for various reasons it seems necessary

Gets Gun Lost Twenty Years.

A double-barrel shotgun with a pc
culiar nick in one of the barrels was
picked up for small price several
days ago in pawnshop by Joseph
Smith, detective in New York hotel,
who afterward went to Chief Engineer
E. c. Bingham of the hotel to ask how
the flaw could be removed. In the
course of the conversation the chief
engineer described an old type Green,
er shotgun he lost 20 years ago on a
hunting trip in Illinois. He had bor
rowed the gun from his brother.
Chief Bingham told Detective Smith
to bring in the shotgun. AS soon as
he saw it he offered to trade him for
it new shotgun ard $40 to boot. Mr..
Smith accepted the offer without hesi
tating. Again the chief engineer in
spected the weapon minutely, lock,
stock and barrel, and told Detective
Smith he was convinced the gun was
the one he lost. He said he would
have been willing to give $100 to re.
cover it. The shotgun was in a good
condition.

1t is unfortunate the Indiana re-
publicans, at a recent love feast,
brought forward the name of ex-
Vice-President Fairbanks as a
candidate for President. If the
endorsement was intended for a
passing compliment there can be
no objection to this manifesto
tion Of loyalty to a native son,
but to inject him seriously in the
campaign, for the purpose of al
lowing the reactionaries to con-
troll the Indiana delegation to the
nation convention, is a dangerous
move. The republicans expect
to win in 1916, but few more
moves of the Indiana kind in
other states with reactionary ia
vorite sons, will spell disaster.

Schmidt, one of the dynami-

building, with its resultant loss
of twenty innocent lives, has
been found guilty and sentenced
to the penitentiary for life. An
other member of the gang is
Caplan, whose trial will start i'm
mediately, and if he gets his just
deserts, the whole crowd who
were responsible for the bastard
ly crime will be in the peniten-
tiary where they rightfully be-
long. While we are always in
sympathy with laboring men in
their efforts to improve their

The special grand jury called
by Judge Perkins, Of Coconino
county, last week. brought in a
big bunch of indictments against
bookleggers of that county, and
more are promised for the future.
If Arizona wants prohibition,
bookleggirg must be made a
crime and punishment meted out
to the fellows who insist on SELL
ing liquor, and Judge Perkins
seems to have the same opinion.
This is the second grand jury in
Coconino county in two months.
The first grand jury failed to
find any indictments, probably
for reasons best known to them
selves, but when Judge Perkins
showed his determination to
drive bootleggers out Of Coconino
county by calling another grand
jury Immediately, results were
accomplished. When the men
indicted get through paying
their fines and serving their
sentences, and learn that an
other grand jury is liable to be
called at any time, they will
probably conclude there are more
desirable locations than in the
jurisdiction of Judge Perkins.
1t is a grand thing to have a SUI
perior judge who has got back
bone and strength of character
to insist that the law shall be
enforced, instead of vacallat-
ing jelly fish who has to go out
and consult with his political
friends to find out just what he
ought to do, so he will not injure
his prospects for future prefer
ment. A political judge may
fool the voters once, but he can
rest assured that his political flu
ture is all in the past henceforth.
With the recall on the statute
books he may consider himself
fortunate indeed if he is permit
ted to serve out the term for
which he has been elected.

means that we are not taking in

accustomed to controlling news

Congress long enough to get a
bill passed not to grant govern

be knocked from under liquor

list the aid of the government in
